elcome to your September edition and, as the heatwave of a few weeks ago soon becomes a wonderful, yet distant memory, we’re now back into the “exam results” and “back to school” routines for many. Time to take a deep breath, look ahead and wonder why Christmas presents should already be on show in the shops! Before you go any further, however, and start making lists of who will get what 18 weeks from now, just relax with your favourite magazine... and enjoy the month ahead. As ever, many thanks to all of our contributors and for your continued support and encouraging words.
Claire x
This month, we can offer the wide range of features and interesting articles you have come to expect, plus that little bit more. The introduction of a “Contents” section will make your journey through this month’s magazine easier and hopefully, more enjoyable, besides meaning that my ramblings won’t take you so long! The new “In the Hot Seat” feature, however, makes up for it, so please accept apologies in advance! (I’ll say nothing next month!!) Before that, though, a quick one from Tim Vine at the Edinburgh Fringe – “Buying a strip of that Velcro’s a real rip off, isn’t it?”

Fall for Autumn Accessories
As autumn approaches, it’s time to adjust to the changing season. The key to being prepared this autumn is in the power of accessories.
B
e one step ahead in a pair of boots. They are stylish, comfortable and ensure that you’re prepared for puddles on rainy days. “Buckles and Bows”’ autumn range is on trend, providing styles for everyone, in sizes 3-9. They will stock a range of boots to fit all calf widths, including a wide fit, in runway inspired colours. This includes teal and burgundy for individual styles, and black, navy and brown for a classic look. Inject Kate Middleton-inspired elegance into your wardrobe by matching boots with accessories. “Buckles and Bows” have made shopping relaxing this autumn, by stocking scarfs and gloves to match their footwear collection, saving you time searching for a perfect match. Alternatively, achieve 6
vintage glamour by adding my favourite winter accessory - a faux fur stole. Vintage accessories suit everyone, and complete any outfit. Stoles are very versatile so why not place them over cardigans, jackets and coats to liven up your wardrobe? Complete a vintage look with an affordable designer bag. “Buckles and Bows”’ collection of Peach bags prove that “affordable” and “designer” can go hand in hand. The range includes rich detail, practical features and the

elegant colours expected from a designer label. My favourite designs include an Audrey Hepburninspired patent black shoulder bag, fastened by a raised stone clasp. Another eye-catching Peach bag features damask embroidery, with curved edges, gold framing and a practical outer zip. Irregular Choice fans will adore Ruby Shoo’s autumn/ winter collection. Ruby Shoo designs are quirky, fun and their matching accessories are perfect collectors’ items for contemporary individual styles. Finally, every woman on the move needs a Smith and Canova “Power Pack purse”. The soft leather clutch bag combines function with fashion, including cardholders, pockets and a discreet battery to charge electronic devices, keeping you permanently connected.
The above accessories will be available at “Buckles and Bows”. The friendly staff will advise you on sizes and styles, to help you find your perfect autumn/winter accessories.

“I’ve been a member of a few gyms in my time! In most recent years a member of a most popular one near Peterborough! I decided to give Empire a go because it was local and because I knew a couple of the fitness instructors from the other gym were going to teach there. Since setting foot inside Empire I’ve not looked back!
“Empire is a premium gym with something for everyone at a very affordable price without compromising on the quality! With friendly personal attention; the guys really care about their members and are passionate about helping everyone.
The staff are so inviting and friendly. You don’t feel intimidated in the slightest. There are people there from all walks of life and no matter what shape or size you are you’ll fit at Empire!
I haven’t finished sorry! I’ve trained at several ‘health club’ corporate gyms and they are not a patch on these guys because this is a family business. It is fully air conditioned, there are nice soaps in the showers, GHD’s in the changing rooms too ladies! Cold drinks, hot drinks a fab hair salon, The Salon Suite next door, it has everything! Hope to see you there soon. You won’t regret it!”
I love the classes mainly but am working my way out of the class rooms to try new things. The joy of this is I know with confidence the team there will guide me to work to the best of MY abilities! We all have stresses and strains in our daily lives but spending time in the gym helps release them. It’s like a therapy that gives you a natural happy feeling! Every time I walk through that door it makes me smile and when I leave the smile’s even bigger because I’m taking another little step to a healthier happier me. What a team! You guys inspire me! I’m so glad I made the change and joined Empire. X” Lainey Wright - Empire Gym Member
t. 01778
They have fantastic instructors (the best in fact), a massive variety of classes, quality gym equipment, great music and lovely welcoming staff! All the luxury of a health club without the corporate facade and silly prices.
Stephanie Andrews - Empire Gym Member
“Empire is not just a gym; it is a community where all ages and abilities can be confident of the best possible training advice, classes and equipment. The classes challenge me to push myself harder than I thought possible and have given me lots of laughs along the way; especially when I have decided to surprise myself by trying a new unfamiliar class. I have loved them all, even if at times my body has screamed in protest! I can’t fault Empire’s ethics, commitment and dedication to ensure that everyone who walks through the door will have renewed faith in what can be achieved. Empire, you’re a knock-out” Sue Killick - Empire Gym Member

|Health by Diane Rayson MFHT, CNHC,AVR is a Reflexologist with over 15 years’
experience practicing in Bourne and Market Deeping
World reflexology awareness week - September 22nd to 28th It’s that time of year again when Reflexologists all over the world will be preparing for World Reflexology week. It’s our chance to raise awareness and share with you the health benefits of reflexology. Reflexology is popular, suitable for most people and is a natural therapy based on the principle that reflex points on the soles, tops and sides of the feet are connected to corresponding areas throughout the body. In this way, the feet can be seen as a “map” of the body. Reflexologists use their thumbs and fingers to work on these reflexes using specialised massage techniques. The theory is that reflexology helps the body to restore its balance naturally and because of this it can work on all
systems of the body such as the circulatory, skeletal, and glandular systems to name a few. Usually after a treatment your tension will be reduced and you’ll feel relaxed. You might also notice yourself sleeping better and find your mood and sense of wellbeing improving. You may also find that other aspects improve too however this happens on an individual basis. With ever increasing levels of stress in everyday life, it is important for people to take more responsibility for their own healthcare needs. Reflexology may be one of the ways to mitigate the stresses of modern life. Reflexology is a very individual treatment which is tailored to you as a whole person, taking into account both physical and non-physical factors that might be affecting your wellbeing. Reflexologists do not claim to cure, diagnose or prescribe. Some people find it works for them some don’t but the best way to find out is to try it, so why not join me in celebrating the best in Reflexology and start your journey today.
Diane is offering 10% off all new bookings made for this special week. For more information or to make a booking please telephone The Wellhead Practice, 13 Abbey Road Bourne on 01778 392832.

|Pregnancy & baby
Birth Partners Doula Or Don’t Ya?
The birth of your baby is one of the most intimate and precious times of your life. So why would you add a virtual stranger to the mix as an additional birth partner or ‘doula’?
Think about it this way: Would travelling to a faraway land seem less daunting if you had the support of a guide who’d been there before? Would stepping into the unknown feel more comfortable if you had someone’s hand to hold? Would running a race be easier going if you had someone to cheer you on? Would listening to a foreign language be more informative if it was interpreted by a translator?
What Does a Doula Do?
By hiring a doula to support your labour and birth, you are hiring a guide, a comforter, a coach and cheerleader and often a translator. In many instances, there’s a lot more involved – massage, meditation and suggestions for positions to labour in, to name but a few. Just by being with you and offering a reassuring presence, from the onset of labour until you are settled with your new arrival, can go a long way to allaying many of the concerns that women have: “I don’t know who the midwife on duty will be”, “How will my partner drive me to the

birth centre/hospital while I’m having contractions in the back seat?”, “What if I panic?”, What if he panics?”, “I don’t want to be afraid…?” Of course, in an ideal world and in many traditional societies across the world (and historically in our own), it would be the role of the experienced women of the community to attend to you during your labour and birth; among them would have been your grandmother, mother, aunts and sisters. However, for many reasons, that’s rarely the case today. For many couples, the decision to hire a doula comes from the desire to create a more nurturing and natural environment for their birth. Research shows us that having a doula present at birth: • Shortens first-time labour by an average of 2 hours • Decreases the chance of caesarean section by 50% • Decreases the need for pain medication • Decreases the chance of an assited birth • Helps fathers participate with confidence • Increases success in breastfeeding So, why would you add a virtual stranger to the mix as your doula? If you’re still not sure, you might re-phrase the question to this: If you had the opportunity to handpick someone to be with you, throughout your labour, someone who would be there as support for you and your partner, from the first contraction through to after the baby is born, would you?

KNOTS IN
MUSCLES
How does massage help? The therapist can use various techniques to break down a knot, starting with gentle strokes to warm the area before applying more pressure to the affected section of the muscle. The massage releases the bond between the strands, allowing full use of the muscle. This can be uncomfortable but the therapist can work to a level which the client finds acceptable. It is often described as a pleasure pain, as you can feel the benefits whilst the treatment is being carried out. In some cases more than one treatment might be required to fully break down the knot, but normally a client will feel a great improvement from the first massage.

Muscles are formed from bunches of fibres which contract individually, sliding over each other, side by side. A knot is formed when the fibres stick to each other forming a hard lump in the muscle. This is caused by overworking the muscle or stress-related tension, such as we get in the shoulders and neck. If you imagine your muscle fibres as a plate of freshly cooked spaghetti in rows, lightly drizzled with oil, where the strands all freely glide over each other. A knot is like yesterday’s spaghetti, left in the fridge, where the strands bond to each other. These knots restrict movement, causing discomfort and a loss of mobility and in some cases, if left untreated, can calcify, requiring surgery to remove the bony growth.

Anxiety, stress and depression Anxiety, stress S tress and anxiety are feelings of being under too much mental or emotional pressure. People have different ways of reacting to stress, so a situation that feels stressful for one person may be motivating for someone else. Many of life’s demands can cause stress, particularly work, relationships, and money problems, a death of a family member or just not being able to cope with life’s demands. It can be defined as anything that makes you feel tense, angry, frustrated or unhappy and when you feel stressed, it can get in the way of sorting out these demands or can even affect everything we do. In this article, we look at some of the different problems which can be brought on by stress, anxiety or depression. • Digestive problems and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) Tummy trouble, such as nausea and stomach ache with no medical cause, can often be stress-related. In particular, IBS or irritable bowel syndrome – a cluster of symptoms including bloating, cramps, diarrhoea and constipation –
is thought to be partly stress-related and the anxiety caused by needing to rush to the toilet can make the problem worse. • Self-medication – involving cigarettes, alcohol, food and drugs. Many of us cope with stress by reaching for cigarettes, alcohol, food or even drugs. Of course, a glass of wine can help us relax, and a bar of chocolate can cheer us up, but “selfmedicating” excessively by consuming any of these things in excess can lead to health problems that in turn create even more stress. • Insomnia and sleep problems - One of the most common effects of stress is the difficulty when “switching off”, resulting in not being able to get off or back to sleep, and/or waking too early in the morning. Stillwaters focuses on finding the trigger points and releasing the pressures, bringing the stress, anxiety and depression levels down. We offer counselling, breathing and relaxation techniques, along with Reiki and colour therapy to free the mind, body and to achieve great wellbeing.

|Your health by Jo Sunner How to Care for a Sprained Ankle Ankle sprains are very common injuries. There’s a good chance that while playing as a child or stepping on an uneven surface as an adult you sprained your ankle--some 25,000 people do it every day. Sometimes, it is an awkward moment when you lose your balance, but the pain quickly fades away and you go on your way. But the sprain could be more severe; your ankle might swell and become black and blue with bruising. It might hurt too much to stand on it. If it’s a severe sprain, you might have felt a “pop” when the injury happened. A sprained ankle means one or more ligaments on the outer side of your ankle were stretched or torn. If a sprain is not treated properly, you could have long-term problems. Typically the ankle is rolled either inward (inversion sprain) or outward (eversion sprain). Inversion sprains cause pain along the outer side of the ankle and are the most common type. Pain along the inner side of the ankle may represent a more serious injury to the tendons or to the ligaments that support the arch and should always be evaluated by a doctor. You’re most likely to sprain your ankle when you have your toes on the ground and heel up (plantar flexion). This position puts your ankle’s ligaments under tension, making them vulnerable. A sudden force like landing on an uneven surface may turn your ankle inward (inversion). When this happens, one, two or three of your ligaments may be hurt. A sprain can be difficult to differentiate from a fracture (broken bone) without an x-ray. If you are unable to bear weight after this type of injury, or if there is significant swelling or deformity, you should seek medical treatment.
Treating your Sprained Ankle
Treating your sprained ankle properly may prevent chronic pain and instability. For most sprains follow the R.I.C.E. guidelines: Rest your ankle by not walking on it. Limit weight bearing. Use crutches if necessary; if there is no fracture you are safe to put some weight on the leg. An ankle brace often helps control swelling and adds stability while the ligaments are healing.
16
Ice it to keep down the swelling. Don’t put ice directly on the skin (use a thin piece of cloth such as a pillow case between the ice bag and the skin) and don’t ice more than 20 minutes at a time to avoid frost bite.
Compression can help control swelling as well as immobilize and support your injury. Elevate the foot by reclining and propping it up above the waist or heart as needed. Swelling usually goes down with a few days. Following the R.I.C.E. guidelines allow more time for healing. You may need to immobilise or splint your sprained ankle. If you need further details on ankle supports and exercises, call me on 01778 426000. Alternatively call into the Pulse Practice (next door to the post office, Bourne). This is a free of charge service information service. Please mention Discovering Bourne. Rehabilitating your Sprained Ankle
Every ligament injury needs rehabilitation. Otherwise, your sprained ankle might not heal completely and you might re-injure it. All ankle sprains, from mild to severe, require three phases of recovery: • Phase I includes resting, protecting and reducing swelling of your injured ankle. • Phase II includes restoring your ankle’s flexibility, range of motion and strength. • Phase III includes gradually returning to straightahead activity and doing maintenance exercises, followed later by more cutting sports such as tennis, basketball of football. To prevent future sprained ankles, pay attention to your body’s warning signs to slow down when you feel pain or fatigue, and stay in shape with good muscle balance, flexibility and strength in your soft tissues.

If you haven’t heard of the ‘Courier Fraud’ yet, please read this and share the advice with others. Courier frauds are becoming more prevalent and sophisticated. Usually the elderly are targeted. Scammers will telephone a potential victim purporting to be from their bank, from the police or other law enforcement authority. They then dupe the person into revealing their PIN and handing over their debit or credit card.
What you should know
• A scammer rings you, claiming to be from your Bank or the Police, saying a fraudulent payment has been spotted on your card and this needs resolving, or that someone has been arrested using your details and cards. • You may be asked to ring back using the phone number on the back of your card. This further convinces you that the call is genuine. However, the scammer keeps the line open at their end so, when you make the call, you are unknowingly connected straight back to them or their friends. • They will ask you for your PIN number or sometimes ask you to key it into your phone’s handset. YOU SHOULD NEVER GIVE YOUR PIN TO ANYONE IN ANY WAY. • The scammer then sends a courier or taxi to pick up your card from your home. It is possible the driver does not know they are being used as part of the scam. • Once they have your card and PIN the scammer can then spend your money. • There are many variations on this scam, one of which is where the scammer requests you to assist in a police investigation by asking you to go to your bank, withdraw a large sum of cash and take this home, where it will be collected by a courier or taxi driver.
Prevention Advice
If you receive a call like this, hang up the phone. In order to clear your line from the scammer, wait at least 5 minutes before making any calls. DO NOT hand over any money as a result of this type of phone call.
Please be aware of the following
• Your bank or the police will NEVER ring you and tell you that they are coming to your home to pick up your card, so never hand it over to anyone who comes to collect it. • Your bank will NEVER ask you to authorise anything by entering your PIN into the telephone. • NEVER share your PIN with anyone – the only time you should use your PIN is at a cash machine or when you use a chip and PIN machine. If you think you have been a victim of this scam, please telephone the police on 101.

Bourne Choral Society
Bourne Choral Society has enjoyed a summer break after a busy season, having performed an Advent concert in December and a Passiontide concert in April, both in Bourne Abbey Church.

The Remarkable, Long-Living Rolt Brothers September 1st will see Bourne resident John Rolt (aka “John Fred” and “Jack”) reach his 99th birthday. What will make it very special, however, is that his three brothers who will hopefully be celebrating it with him, are themselves well into their nineties! John and his late wife Violet (nee Tabor) had three children and has now eight grandchildren, fourteen great-grandchildren and four great, great-grandchildren. After war service with the Sherwood Foresters, John drove the first double-decker bus for Delaine-Smiths and was the only joint driver/conductor on the Morton route, late on a Saturday. Twins, Claude and George Rolt will be 94 in September. Both joined the Royal Army Service and remember driving lorries through France without headlamps or road signs and suffering nothing more than mumps! Claude lost his wife Amelia (nee Buswell) last year and had worked for Stubleys as a painter and decorator, before going into business with Graham Luesby until his retirement. Like his three brothers, Claude has long played bowls and is a life-long member at Bourne Town B.C.
George lives alone in Pointon, since his wife, Marjorie (nee Sandall) died in 2000. His working life saw him staying in the village, driving lorries for Bates Transport, gardening for Colonel Shaw at The Grange and finally retiring from Richardsons at the age of 80! A fourth brother, Charles Eric, lives in Grantham and he too has turned 90. Longevity is certainly a feature of the remarkable Rolts, older brother James having lived till he was 96 and sister Dolly, 94 years of age. Claude’s recipe for his advanced years and continued good health, both in mind and body? you might well ask. “Cod-liver-oil and sex”, he once chuckled!
Fun in the Park
“Bourne2Play” was formed earlier this year to promote awareness and raise money to improve the Wellhead Play Park. “Bourne2Play” had a very successful day at “Picnic in the Park” at the Wellhead field, which was held on National Play Day. This special day, across the UK, highlights the importance of play in children’s lives. In total, we raised £557.29, thanks to all the support we received from the community. The event was a huge success, largely due to “Bourne Fun” donating a very large bouncy castle with obstacles and a slide which the children loved, and “Groovy Disco Parties” who sent Batman and the Juggling Jester to join in with the fun - we even got Batman looming! We want to say a massive thank-you to everyone who came and supported the event and we couldn’t have done it without you! Please like our Facebook page, to receive notifications of upcoming events and view our website for lots of
information, including donating and fundraising in the community. Together we CAN make a difference! www.bourne2play.co.uk www.facebook.co.uk search Bourne2Play

Beyonce Will Have to Wait! Rising dance star, Lauren Willis, aged 16 from Bourne, continues her impressive journey to the top of her profession. Having recently left Bourne Academy, Lauren will very soon be embarking on a Dance Diploma Course at Brooksby Melton College in Melton Mowbray. This will provide the necessary credentials to open a wide range of professional doors for her. Meanwhile, the ubertalented Miss Willis continues to perform in public, witness the recent Bourne Carnival, and to provide a range of teaching classes, so that her enthusiasm and undoubted ability will encourage the youngsters of the town to perhaps follow in her footsteps. Commencing on September 6th, at the Renu Centre on Abbey Road, Bourne, she will be teaching three age categories, (3 to 7s, 8 to 12s and a 12+ group). Lauren is extremely encouraged by the fantastic support she has received, over the last three years of teaching, from contented parents and young dancers alike. She has been able to combine her individual successes, (with “street” and “commercial dance” routines) with teaching others just how to step out. The quiet and rather unassuming teenager, (outside of the studio!) is most grateful for the support and fantastic opportunities which the Bourne Academy have provided for her, and also Claire Saunders at Renu, whose belief in Lauren’s potential and unwavering help has made at least some of Lauren’s dreams come true so far. As for her long-term ambition, that of dancing with Beyonce, Lauren will just have to wait a little while longer! 24
Renu… One Year On September 15th marks the anniversary of the moving to new premises of the highly successful and respected Renu Beauty Salon and Fitness Centre. Having acquired the former Marquis of Granby in 2011, owner Claire Saunders and her dedicated team of 7 employees, (ably assisted by many friends and family members) transferred the whole operation from West Street, where a solid reputation and client base had been established. Larger premises have enabled a much wider range of treatments, facilities and classes to be offered, and the fortunes of the Renu team have prospered enormously. The team is now 14 strong, gym membership has trebled within a year, and the “ladies-only gym” has been the most notable success story. Lauren Willis’s dance classes are, of course, amongst those on offer at Renu, but there is a vast number of courses to suit all interests, shapes and sizes! These range from Pilates, Yoga, Boxercise, Belly Dancing, Indoor Cycling, Zumba and “Ballet fit”, through “Legs, bums and tums” to a “Fat- burner Workshop”, soon to be introduced. No doubt, Renu have certainly renewed the Bourne public’s interest in looking fabulous and feeling fit! (“Sorry”… Ed.) Happy Anniversary to Claire and her team!

Bourne Dimension Skatep ark Are you aware of the work going on to build a skatepark on the Abbey Lawn in Bourne for BMX riders, skateboarders, scooters and skaters?
Do you support the need for a skatepark? Perhaps you have to use car parks as a skatepark or travel miles to find a proper skatepark? Or you may feel that younger people need more facilities in Bourne to keep them occupied in their free time? Since Bourne United Charities offered an area of the Abbey Lawn to the east of the football ground as a possible site for a skatepark, a small group of people including representatives from the Police and the Town Council, have been trying to progress with the building of a skatepark on the site. Plans for a skatepark in the past have always been thwarted by the lack of a site. This, however, is an opportunity to provide a fantastic facility for the young people of Bourne, but progress has been slow because of the small number of volunteers working on the project. So far, a design for the skatepark has been developed based on the ideas from young people in Bourne, and will have features for a range of multi-wheeled users. We have also received pre-planning advice from South Kesteven District Council, which was generally positive but has identified a couple of issues that must be addressed if the skatepark is to be built. The next steps are to talk to local residents about the proposed skatepark, select a specialist skatepark builder to build the skatepark, and submit our plans for full planning permission and hopefully secure the Town Council’s help in connection with a lease. Once we have planning permission, we will then seek the estimated £150,000 needed to build the skatepark. The aim would be to start the building of the skatepark in the summer of 2015. There is a huge amount needing to be done and, without more volunteers, the project will fail. We are looking for people who can help with getting planning permission, contract management, project management, fund raising, publicity, website development, etc. etc. So there will be a job for you. So if you can spare some time, then please get in contact either by completing the questionnaire on the Dimension Skatepark website (www.dimensionskatepark.
org.uk), sending an e-mail to enquiries@ dimensionskatepark.org.uk, or write to Dimension Skatepark, c/o SK Community Point, 3 Abbey Road, Bourne, PE10 9EF. If we are to succeed in building a skatepark in Bourne, we must be able to show that there is a strong demand for the idea to strengthen our case with the planners and to help get funding. When the current project was started, there was considerable enthusiasm from the young people of Bourne to build a skatepark. Many of those young people have moved on and we need to be able to demonstrate that this enthusiasm still exists.
Info
Whether you would be a user of the skatepark or you would like to see a skatepark built in Bourne, then please show your support by completing the short questionnaire on the Dimension Skatepark website (www. dimensionskatepark.org.uk). More information, such as meeting dates, photographs and updates on progress can also be found on the website www. dimensionskatepark.org.uk . Or visit our Facebook site www.facebook.com/ BourneDimensionSkatepark where you can comment on proposals.

|Travel Column by Clare Lockett, Travel Counsellor
Festive season and the joys of Christmas Breaks Although it’s still only September, many people’s minds have already turned to the festive season and the joys of Christmas breaks abroad.
They provide us with a multitude of opportunities to experience holidays to some of the world’s most inspiring destinations. From the beaches of the Caribbean and the Indian Ocean to the Christmas markets and ski slopes of Europe - I offer seasonal experiences guaranteed to inspire and excite! I’ve used my 21 years of travel experience to create a list of Christmas holidays abroad that comprise some of the best experiences in the world.
Caribbean Beaches The Caribbean area has some of the world’s most luxurious and idyllic holiday destinations, and their uninterrupted, white sandy beaches make them such firm favourites for Christmas holidays abroad. Three of the most popular islands, with some of the best beaches, are Barbados, Antigua and St Lucia and all can be reached by direct flights from the UK. The beaches of Barbados are some of the best in the Caribbean and are suitably varied to appeal to those looking for adventure, as well as rest and relaxation. Mullins Beach and Gibbes Beach are amongst the most popular, as the waters are calm and offer various watersport opportunities to visitors. Antigua boasts 365 beaches – one for each day of the year – and so is rightly renowned
Christmas Markets of Europe One of Europe’s most popular and atmospheric markets is located near Wenceslas Square (as in “Old King Wenceslas”) in Prague Old Town. In December, the city becomes a winter wonderland and the Czech food and drink that can be sampled at the markets are a “must”. As an alternative, why not visit the Spanish coastal city of Barcelona? Not immediately renowned for its Christmas markets, it does however play host to the Fira de Santa Llúcia Christmas market which has been held around Barcelona Cathedral since 1786. 26
DiscoveringBourne September 2014 | www.discoveringbourne.co.uk
for its sun-drenched, white-sandy beaches and turquoise seas. During the Christmas season, the climate is at its best, ideal for experiencing beaches such as Dickenson Bay, with its bustling bars, or Half Moon Bay, renowned for its peaceful white sands.
countdown to midnight. Every year, the eyes of the world focus in anticipation and wonder at the scenes conjured at the New York landmark, and to be a part of the crowds would represent a memorable experience for even the most welltravelled.
Skiing Holidays in Europe Some might say a skiing holiday in the French Alps or the dramatic Swiss mountains represents the ultimate in Christmas holiday experiences abroad. European skiing holidays combine awe-inspiring views of the world’s most majestic mountains, such as the Matterhorn, with fine dining and après-ski, not forgetting the most exciting and entertaining slopes available. Picturesque mountain ranges offering slopes suitable for both experienced and novice skiers, as well as a lively and entertaining nightlife, make for an ideal Christmas holiday abroad.
New York New York From ice skating at the Rockefeller Center to shopping at Macy’s, New York offers an atmospheric and movie-set-perfect location for a memorable Christmas break. During December, the city will often lie under a blanket of snow, giving the buildings and sights a romantic and festive feel. A stroll, or a horse drawn cart ride through Central Park, provides a wonderfully romantic experience and, for an out-of-midtown experience, a walk across the Brooklyn Bridge, to take in the powerful and iconic panorama of the New York skyline, is an opportunity not to be missed. New York also boasts some of the world’s most stylish hotels, providing views of downtown New York and, from their location in mid-town, bringing the whole city within easy reach. Another New York tradition that occurs during the festive season is the Times Square

Northern Lights Otherwise known as Aurora Borealis, this is one holiday experience not to be missed, as it’s one of the natural wonders of the world - a mysterious, multi-coloured show in which the night sky is suddenly lit up with a wondrous glow. Fly to Iceland during the festive season to experience the Northern Lights during its optimum period from late September to early April. Between 9pm and 2am is recognized as the best time to view this breathtaking spectacle, so just imagine dining and watching one of the most awe-inspiring views on earth! There are many thrills to be had in Iceland, including dramatic, sparkling white landscapes and romantic hotels and restaurants, plus many family activities. If reading this article has whetted your appetite for a short break or longer holiday abroad this winter, then I would be delighted to hear from you. Why not let me help you arrange your next perfect holiday?

|Police patrol by Bourne’s Sergeant 503 Rick Mosley
“Sergeant Mosley’s Musings”
It seems like only yesterday I was scratching my head thinking of topics to write about for last month’s magazine. However, some of you have come to my aid, as I have had several requests regarding topics to discuss in this column. Unfortunately, I can’t respond to them all in this edition, but I will do so as soon as I can. One topic that is causing concern at this time of year is that of dogs. Hot Dogs! That title may be slightly flippant,
but this is a subject which frustrates me greatly. Why do people continue to leave dogs in cars on warm days? It doesn’t have to be a particularly warm day for it to get hot inside a car. Dogs pant to keep cool. In hot stuffy cars, dogs can’t cool down and leaving a window open or a sunshield on a windscreen won’t keep your car cool enough. I make no apology for saying that I, and indeed any police officer, will not hesitate to force entry to a vehicle to get a dog out that may be suffering due to the heat. You may also be prosecuted for causing unnecessary suffering to an animal under the Animal Welfare Act 2006. Please do not leave your dog in a vehicle, even for a short time. It’s as simple as that!
Worrying Livestock can involve a dog, or dogs, attacking or chasing livestock. A dog can
even be regarded as worrying livestock simply by not being on a lead or otherwise kept under close control. A farmer has a legal right in law to shoot a dog which is worrying livestock and, although this is a last resort, it does happen. If a dog is worrying livestock on agricultural land, the owner (and the person in charge of the dog if not the owner) is guilty of an offence under section 1 of the Dogs (Protection of Livestock) Act 1953. Livestock is defined under the act as “cattle, sheep, goats, swine, horses and poultry”. Following that, under the Dogs Act 1906, a dog that has been shown to have worried livestock can be treated as a dangerous dog for the purposes of section 2 of the Dogs Act 1871, which means that a Magistrates’ Court could order that the dog to be destroyed.
Dangerous Dogs. Under Section 3 of the
Dangerous Dogs Act 1991, it is an offence to allow any dog to be “dangerously out of control” in any place (public or private) if it gives grounds for reasonable apprehension that the dog will injure any person. If the dog injures an “assistance dog”, the offence is aggravated which basically means it is considered more serious. The dog does not actually have to injure someone for the offence to occur. Again, the owner and the person in charge of the dog are liable for this offence. Powers under section 2 of the Dogs Act 1871 are also available, meaning that the dog can be either neutered or destroyed by order of the Court.
Did you know that article 2 of the Control of Dogs Order 1992 requires every dog, unless expressly exempted, to wear a collar while on a highway or in a public place with the name and address of the owner inscribed on it? Those exemptions basically refer to working dogs. Finally : From 6th April 2016, all dogs in England
will have to be micro-chipped and be registered on one of the commercial databases. Dog owners will also have to keep their details up to date on the databases and will need to register the details of new owners before handing them over.

Snow White
sally@discoveringbourne.co.uk
By Ben Jagger
Once upon a time there was a Queen, She was ever so evil and ever so mean. There was a magic mirror hung on her wall, She would ask “Who is the fairest of them all?” “Why, it’s Snow White.” the mirror would say, This would put her in a bad mood for the rest of the day. The Queen went after Snow White one night, It was stormy and rainy with flashes of light. The Queen put on a clever disguise, Then set off to see to Snow White’s demise. She found Snow White waiting by a train track, And pulled a poisoned apple from behind her back. The Queen fed Snow White the deadly fruit, Then skipped away with a “whoop” and a “hoot”. Poor Snow White fell onto the ground, And her head began to throb and pound. It began to snow as her vision began to haze, For Snow White it was just one of those days…

|A word from - your Mayor Bob Russell
“
OK, so I’ve got the job. Now, where is the job description? What does the Mayor actually do?
Well, firstly, the chain of office, the symbol of the position, links the present Mayor historically with all those who have held the position in the past. In my case, I am Bourne’s number forty-seven! Secondly, and probably most importantly, the Mayor is also the Chairman of the Council, running the full council meetings. Then there is what could be described as the ceremonial side of the position, representing the town at civic and social functions, both in Bourne and more widely, throughout the surrounding area. To give a few examples, I have been introduced to the Queen’s granddaughter, H.R.H. Princess Beatrice, during her recent visit to the Charles Read School in Corby Glen. I was delighted to be asked to open the Bourne Classic Car and Bike Show in early June, and to present the prizes at the end of a show which I
felt was a wonderful advertisement for Bourne, drawing people into the town from all over the East Midlands and further afield. I spoke to one gentleman who made sure his visit from New Zealand coincided with the show. Finally, attending the civic functions of other “chains” throughout Lincolnshire gives us opportunities to build contacts and discuss mutual problems. It is always worth finding out how others approach the problems with which we may also be dealing. Well, that’s the job description - now to get on with the job…..!

Tallington Farm What there is to see and do :
Tallington Farm is a working arable farm consisting of 200 hectares (approximately 500 acres) at Tallington in South Lincolnshire. The farm has been in the Thurlby family for four generations and produces wheat, barley and sugar beet plus sunflower seeds, asparagus and Christmas trees. Lincoln Red cattle, sheep and pigs can be seen, along with small pets, including rabbits, bantam chickens, a ferret and a Shetland pony. Neolithic and Bronze age pottery, plus evidence of flat and barrow graves, provides evidence of farmers earlier than the Thurlbys. There is hedging to encourage birdlife and insects, a natural spring pond which harbours carp as well as tadpoles and plants. Furthermore, an area of marsh ground has reed beds. Andy and Louise are very keen to promote farming, the environment and the countryside, in order to educate young children, making them aware of where their food comes from and how to respect the countryside. Farm activities can be tailored to the requirements of the school visiting the farm. Facilities include a picnic area, toilets, hard surface parking and paths and a wet-weather shelter.
Conservation on the farm
Tallington Farm is part of the “Higher Level Entry Scheme” and is also in the “Countryside Stewardship Scheme”. As part of this commitment to the larger environmental impact, wild bird seed (kale, quinoa, wild radish, millet and maize) crops are planted for the wild birds and insects and these also acts as pheasant cover. Hedging provides homes for birdlife and insects whilst ponds encourage tadpoles and newts.

From the Fells to the Fens Salvation Army Ministers, Kevin and Wendy Brown have recently moved to Bourne and are already very impressed with the friendliness of the people and the welcome they have received. Leaving their Cumbrian roots five years ago to establish their first ministry in Waterbeach, six miles outside Cambridge, they have now made the move to a larger church, (called a “corps”) and are now relishing the challenges which lie ahead of them. They have already built up a good rapport with resident youth worker, Vicky Elsom, and together they intend to make the youth aspect of the Salvation Army much more prominent. Details of youth clubs will be included in forthcoming editions of “Discovering Bourne”. Kevin and Wendy have been married for 31 years and have two married daughters, both of whom have remained amongst the hills of the north! Since arriving in the town, Wendy has been very keen to get involved in community events within Bourne, and was soon making a contribution to the recent, highly successful Bourne Carnival on June 29th, as a Carnival Committee member. She sees their principal target as becoming key members of a flourishing and active community in our rapidly growing town – a growth very similar to that which they were to experience in their time at Waterbeach. Although, understandably, still missing the magnificent Lake District fells five years on, Wendy is still very upbeat about being on the edge of the Fens. “Living here is warmer”, she says, “and we just love those beautiful big sunsets!” Welcome to Bourne.

Elsea Park News – Defibrillator Now Installed
Elsea Park Community Trust are very proud to have commissioned an automatic external defibrillator (AED) at The Centre at Elsea Park. With Elsea Park now having around a thousand homes, and the new school about to open, the Trust Board felt the time was right to invest in this life-saving equipment for the benefit of residents and the wider local community. The AED has been funded through the annual fee paid by property owners on the development. Trust Manager, Barry Cook, said that during a conversation with PCSO Graeme Parrott, he was
surprised to find that none of the existing Public Access Defibrillators in Bourne are available all the time, as most of them are in buildings that are closed outside normal business hours! The Trust approached Lincolnshire Integrated Voluntary Emergency Service (LIVES) who advised them to install the AED on an external wall in a special secure cabinet. GIDA Construction (who are building the new school) heard of the project, and their electricians installed and commissioned the equipment free of charge, for which everyone involved in the project are extremely grateful. LIVES will be supporting The Trust, and will train a group of residents in the use of the defibrillator, though the equipment is designed to be used by anyone (even if they have not been trained). In the event of a 999 call, a caller is told the location of the nearest AED by the Emergency Services along with the cabinet access code. The defibrillator does the rest, giving the user intelligent voice commands and determines whether or not it needs to administer an electric shock. The Trust hope that it will never be needed, but any potential life saver can rest assured that now there is NO possibility of them ever making the situation worse, when it comes to the emergency administration of crucial First Aid.
Camp Ecuador 2015 – Sponsor My T-Shirt Hello, my name is Phoebe Kirtland. I am just starting year 11 at Bourne Academy. In the summer of 2015 I will be travelling to Ecuador with Camps International. Over the course of 4 weeks I will be helping local communities with building and refurbishment projects and helping people (especially women) to set up businesses within the local area. I will also be helping with the preservation and conservation of the environment and its wildlife ensuring that people’s bad habits, such as littering, does not endanger wild animals, like spectacled bears, by replanting indigenous woodlands. I aim to fundraise the entire cost of the trip which is £4,480. So far I have fundraised £1,271 through sponsored events, raffles, table top and refreshment sales. I would like to take the opportunity in this Discovering Bourne publication to ask if any businesses, small or large, would like to sponsor
my t-shirt at a cost of £25 for a logo or wording that will then be printed by Smart Tec Embroidery Ltd of Bourne. I will wear the t-shirt at all my remaining fundraising events as well as in Ecuador itself and on my return when doing any presentations about my trip. People will see who have helped and sponsored me to help the people and wildlife of Ecuador and The Galapagos Islands.
If you would be interested and wish to know more please contact me at thekirtlands@btinternet.com

Choose Cheese
Oak Smoked French Brie - A
totally different taste experience, this caramel coloured, smooth rinded, soft textured, French produced cheese has a subtle, mild, smoked flavour that lingers on the palate for a short time, enticing you back for more. The creamy texture is enhanced by leaving it out at room temperature for at least 30 minutes before serving. This is a perfect cheese to go with a maple cured bacon in a toasted panino and green salad, accompanied with a glass of chilled, French white wine.
tasting notes
Colston Bassett Stilton - A
locally produced, excellent Stilton, “probably the best in the U.K.”! This traditional, blue-veined cheese has a smooth, creamy texture with a hearty, satisfying feel to it. The distinctive Stilton flavour hits your taste buds immediately, and you can feel yourself reaching for a glass of port to accompany this master of all cheeses. Perfect served within a large, field mushroom for starters, or mixed with cream cheese and walnuts for a great tagliatelli pasta main course. It is, of course, the centre piece of any cheese board - the perfect allrounder.
Oak-Smoked Lincolnshire Poacher - Another locally produced gem and what
Harlech Cheddar - The first thing you have to do with this cheese is to smell the sweet, herby aroma. Your mouth will start watering in anticipation of the taste, which does not disappoint. Produced in Wales, this is a cheese with a difference. Its orange rind encases a smooth, creamy Cheddar, which starts with a sweet sensation and then a punch of horseradish hits your taste buds - a flavour to savour with a hint of parsley thrown in. This cheese is perfect when melted on to any steak of your choice and would be a welcome addition to your cheeseboard. Watch, as your guests enjoy a new flavour sensation - serve with a glass of chilled cider. 40
a lovely hunk of cheese this is - a robust, very flavoursome, waxy textured cheese. If you have tried the traditional Lincolnshire Poacher, then you will love this new smoked variety. The smoky flavour is strong and intense. It matches the farmhouse Cheddar taste, pound for pound, and lingers long after your last mouthful. Less is positively more with this cheese. It is a perfect addition to a ploughman’s lunch or just on its own, with a large glass of red.

Stripes can make a big statement or
add a subtle design element to your decor
1
2 G
eometry is extremely useful in interiors and can transform a space. From the softness of flowing curves to the solidity of a cube, to the excitement of a zigzag and the charm of spots and circles you can change the feel of a room based on the geometric patterns you employ. Today I’m going to concentrate on stripes for their ability to both make a big statement and add a subtle design element to your decor. If you want to make a room feel wider, take the stripe horizontally around the room and if you want to make it feel taller, take it vertically up the walls. In this bedroom (1) the wide stripes create a soothing atmosphere. The clever mix of neutral tones and the use of different types of paint make an interesting and stylish combination. I really like the addition of a metallic paint to add a hint of glamour. Horizontal stripes can be very calming. The main thing to remember with stripes is that they lead the eye. You cannot help but follow a line whether it’s up the wall or along the floor. A really bold line, or a long line, will make your eye travel even quicker. In this hallway (2) you can see the effect of directional stripes. I’m sure your eyes immediately followed the rug to see straight through the doorway into the next room, which is a clever trick if you want to take the attention away from something less pretty! And if you have an awkward shaped room to deal with you can use stripes to balance it, to make it even more edgy and exciting as in this image (3)

4 5
which plays on graphic black and white. The high contrast stripes are bold, confident and modern and if that’s a fair description of your personality I hope you try out something like this. Now you have these designer tools in your decorating bag let’s think about the beauty of stripes and how the colours and the width of the lines make a difference. Try varying the line widths and changing directions that demonstrate a creative spirit and bring a plain wall to life. You really don’t need many stripes to make a huge impact (4). Finally, in image (5) you can see how a striped wall brings a mix of colourful furniture together, binding the separate pieces into a cohesive scheme that feels comfortable and playful. Whether you start with the furniture and add the stripes or find a striped wallpaper you love and then look for the furniture is up to you but if you like colour I hope you will give this a whirl.

|Technology Corner by Taff Lovesey, Lites PC PC Troubleshooting with the Reliability Monitor We’re getting a little more ‘techie’ this month but hopefully not too deep to be useful to many. If you are having problems with programs/Windows crashing or generating errors then you may find Windows in-built Reliability tool of use. This tool will show what processes have caused errors and which have stopped or caused Windows failure. To use it type reliability in the search box or Windows 8 users should type reliability on their Start screen and then click on View reliability history Windows will now read its logs and will compile a graphical report of reliability issues. Reliability is graded from 10 (most reliable) to 1 and symbols are added to show what event caused a problem in reliability. Once the search is complete you will either be shown a link for to download the solution or advised that no solution exists. Even if a solution doesn’t exist then the data can still be used to troubleshoot. In the example shown the system was having a problem where folders were taking longer to open than normal.
Red X indicates a critical event, A Yellow exclamation mark provide warnings and A blue I is more information By clicking on the link next to a critical event you can search online for a solution. ----->
By examining the reliability history it was seen that the Windows Image Acquisition process was failing. This started after the installation of an old version of the Roxio program; which can be seen in an earlier blue info event. The fix for this problem was to upgrade Roxio to the current version. Although in many cases this tool may not shed light on an ongoing problem, it may well save you time and money by pointing you towards an offending program or process.

|Your Finances by Paul Ross, Financial Planner at Landmark IFA Ltd
Pension Rules
Mr H asked: “I’m confused about the latest pension rule changes. I am thinking of using my pension to pay off some debts. Would you be able to clarify what the changes are? I would think carefully before using your pension fund to pay off debts, it is designed to give you an income for the rest of your life. I strongly recommend that you seek independent financial advice before doing this. Below is a summary of what we already know and what we are still waiting to hear about. The rules should be clearer after the chancellor’s Autumn Statement The Treasury has published the decisions it has made as a result of its consultation on “Freedom and Choice in Pensions”. The changes will be overseen by the Treasury, largely through a new Pensions Tax Bill. The issues have been published in a consultation paper.
The Knowns
Personal pension funds payable as a lump sum for over 55s: Tax-free cash will remain available - up to 25% of the fund value - the remainder will be subject to their marginal rate of income tax. Providers and trustees will not need to offer this to all their members but there will be a statutory override which will allow them do so without amending scheme rules. Transfers from private sector Defined Benefit Schemes to continue: Members of funded public sector defined benefit schemes will be allowed to transfer to a personal arrangement, however a ban on transfers from unfunded public sector schemes such as Local Government and Civil Service schemes will go ahead. Defined Benefit Scheme members who request a transfer will be required to take advice from an appropriately qualified Independent Financial Adviser unless the total value of their benefits is
below the triviality limit of £30,000. Increased flexibility for annuities: Tax rules to be amended allowing the development of new retirement products which can be tailored to the needs of individuals. Examples given include allowing annuity payments to decrease and allowing lump sums to be taken where this has been specified at outset. Reduced annual allowance to £10,000 per year after benefits are taken: This is designed to reduce misuse whereby a member could take their whole fund and reinvest it into a new pension thereby claiming tax relief again, or an employer diverting salary and avoiding National Insurance payments. Minimum pension age to increase: From 2028, the minimum age you can access pension saving under the new rules will increase from 55 to 57. It will then remain 10 years below state pension age.
The Unknowns
The rate of tax on death benefits from drawdown plans at 55%: The response confirms that the Treasury thinks this rate is too high but deferred a decision until the Autumn Statement. Indications say it could be c30% Tax relief on contributions after age 75 is not mentioned The effect on welfare and social care: Previous verbal reassurances that pensions would remain protected against assessment for social care are undermined by the statement “those who choose to drawdown their full pension pot ... will need to consider how this could affect their current and future entitlement to welfare and social care support...”. The implications of full commutation in situations such as bankruptcy and divorce: This may require a legal precedent. I hope this helps.

Ever Popular
Event Returns to Bourne Bourne SciFest is returning for the 8th time. It is a week-long Science Festival for the young people of Bourne and district. Starting in 2000 when a small group of teachers and helpers decided to hold a Science Festival in the Corn Exchange it proved to be so successful that it has been held every two years providing over 3,500 children with firstrate experience of science. Workshops and presentations will be aimed at the different Key Stages throughout the local primary schools with subjects ranging from astronomy, chemistry, forces, light, sound and even some science ‘magic’. In the past it proved to be difficult to move large numbers of children to and from the Corn Exchange and then moving them around the building. In 2008 it was decided that instead of the children moving, the presenters would travel to the schools to give their shows. This had the added advantage of causing minimal disruption to the schools. It was also decided to hold two evening shows in the Corn Exchange to allow children to bring their families. This format proved to be so successful that over 4500 children experienced at least one event. Previous presenters of the evening events include Chris Packham from BBC’s Springwatch and Nick Baker from The Really Wild Show who held the children spellbound. SciFest 2014 is due to be held from 6th to 10th October when presenters will include ZooLab where the younger children will be introduced to a number of minibeasts and shown the difference in their behaviour. Mark from ‘Earthbound Misfits’ will demonstrate the effect of Forces while the younger children will examine scientific principles through the medium of dance with ‘Green Bean Dance’. Dave Shaw, one of 64
our original presenters will talk about natural history with a fascinating presentation ‘Ants in your Plants’. James Soper will present ‘Galileo’s Greatest Mistake’ which he promises will feature explosions and other spectacular effects. Space will also feature in an inflatable dome provided by Starlincs.. On the evening of Tuesday 7th October Greg Foot will be presenting ‘Everest – Going to Extremes’; which sounds dangerous. Greg pops up as the science expert on ‘Blue Peter’ and is also the resident science expert on Channel 4’s ‘Sunday Brunch’. On Thursday 9th James Soper will return with his ‘Real Science of the Circus. James is a professional circus performer and even appears in The Guiness Book of Records for some of his juggling feats None of this would be possible without our wonderful and supportive sponsors, the major ones being The Len Pick Trust, Bourne United Charities, Bourne Round Table, the Rotary Club of Bourne, Northrop Grumman and Bourne Town Council. All of the Bourne School governors support SciFest as do many organisations too numerous to mention. Without them the event simply would not happen. It is incredible to watch the children as they experience a close-up view of science and it is to be hoped that SciFest 2014 will inspire many young minds to study the subject further and perhaps make their career in the scientific world.

Discovering...
...the railway navvies by Rex Needle
T
he navvy was an itinerant labourer, a phenomenon of the 19th century when public works such as the construction of new railways needed human muscle to shift massive quantities of earth, often at the rate of twenty tons a day for each man on site. It was a rough and ready life that attracted men prepared to live together, often in encampments by the line, and they invariably had an ability to eat heartily, drink heavily and fight fiercely. They were first employed digging out the canals or navigations, hence the name, but later moved to the railways, arriving in the Bourne area to help build the Bourne to Essendine link where work began in the autumn of 1857. Such a large concentration of workers renowned for their strong language, love of beer and immoral behaviour was regarded with some concern by local people and there were many attempts to keep them on the straight and narrow path of Victorian righteousness with the help of visiting preachers and missionary meetings. The line was completed in 1860 when the navvies moved to other railway projects in the area and during the two years from 1891-93 that it took to build the last stretch through Little Bytham, Toft and Lound, earnings were as high as ÂŁ1 a week or even 30s. if on piecework, far higher than could be obtained elsewhere and this attracted a motley collection of hardened
labourers from all parts of the British Isles where work was scarce. The majority were well behaved and many sent money home to needy families but some spent all they earned on drink while petty crime such as stealing and poaching was common and on one occasion a navvy absconded with the money from their sick club. Fighting was also a way of life and regular bouts on Sundays became an accepted method of settling quarrels, often vicious contests that resulted in at least one death when two of them met in a bare-knuckle encounter in a field near the line, the one who struck the fatal blow being sent to jail for manslaughter. When the work ran out the navvies moved on. Bourne was finally phased out of the railway system in 1964 leaving only a few isolated examples such as the 330-yard long Toft tunnel which had employed 400 of them as a reminder of their backbreaking labour.

|In the hot seat
JohnSchwarz
This month sees a new feature, where a local resident will be asked a set of questions aimed at getting to know a little more about them and their opinions. First into the hot seat is our own editor, John Schwarz, who has now been three months at the helm. Married to Amanda and with a daughter and three sons, John has lived in and around Bourne for almost all of his life. Last summer, he retired from a long and happy teaching career, having taught English at Arthur Mellows Village College, Glinton and Deacon’s School, Peterborough, (latterly, The Thomas Deacon Academy.)
1. WHERE WERE YOU BORN, AND WHAT IS YOUR FONDEST MEMORY OF YOUR CHILDHOOD? I was born in Grantham, enabling me to claim true “Yellow Belly” status. My fondest memories are of accompanying my father, long-retired veterinary surgeon, Bob Schwarz, (now aged 95!) as we travelled the lanes of South Lincolnshire tending to all manner of farm animals and pets – James Herriot without the hills!
2. WHO HAS HAD THE GREATEST INFLUENCE ON YOUR LIFE AND WHY?
Teachers can mould a youngster’s life, be they warm and caring, despised and aloof or just plain honest and inspirational. I count myself lucky to have had my own teaching career sparked into being in the Sixties and early Seventies at Bourne County Primary, (now Bourne Abbey), and Bourne Grammar School. Mrs Audrey Scotney, Mr Ken Palmer and Mr “Danny” Lambert figure prominently in my memories. Later, major influences were to appear at B.G.S. in the form of Miss Lesley Dunn, Mr “Dougie” Birkbeck, the Sloweys and Mr Roger “Tich” Taylor. It was the bearded Welshman and English Literature teacher, Mr Roy Collins, however, who “put the match to the fire” that had been set by the others. I still hear his “sloeblack, slow, black, crowblack, fishingboatbobbing sea”, whenever I think of Dylan Thomas’s “Under Milk Wood”. Taking his whole English, “O” Level class out on cycles to a field near Edenham, one day, to look at cows and then give the vet’s son the task of teaching the class (and teacher) about the various breeds of cattle, was truly inspirational! 66
3. WHICH TWO CHARACTERS, (ALIVE OR NOT), WOULD YOU MOST ENJOY
SHARING A MEAL WITH AND WHY?
Michael Palin has remained not only a very funny man to me, from his “Monty Python” days, but his extraordinary range of travel adventures, which I have loved reading about, with increasing levels of jealousy on my part, would make a fascinating partner at the table. Add the unforgettable lunatic that was Spike Milligan to the mixture, with his depth of knowledge, remarkable experiences of life and surprisingly beautiful poetic skills, then I would feel humbled to be in their presence, to say nothing of being creased up with laughter throughout, especially if one of the guests were to start talking of eating his peas with honey!
4. HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE YOURSELF IN JUST FIVE WORDS? Proud father, literature lover, optimist.
5. IF THERE WAS ONE THING WHICH YOU COULD CHANGE ABOUT BOURNE, WHAT WOULD IT BE AND WHY?
The provision of recreational facilities for the younger people in any community must surely be one of the key roles of the elders within that community – look after the well-being, skills acquisition and health of your young, because they can’t do it all for themselves. So, with two teenage sons, both skateboarding fanatics, who regularly need to be taxied to Stamford Skate Park and the fabulous Adrenaline Alley in Corby,Northants, my only serious plea would be for Bourne to have a skate park of our own, in this rapidly growing town of ours – and soon!
6. WHAT ADVICE WOULD YOU GIVE TO A 16 YEAR OLD YOU?
Take notice of every piece of advice coming your way but, in time, don’t be afraid to make your own decisions, which may not always be in line with what you first thought!

| Spotlight on clubs
Bourne Deeping Hockey Club With summer drawing to a close and the evenings pulling in, we start thinking of those stormy Saturdays and windy Wednesdays fast approaching – yes, the winter sporting season is coming soon and, this month, our spotlight turns to Bourne Deeping Hockey Club. No longer a feature of the Abbey Lawn scenery, (field hockey now having long become an “Astroturf sport”), Bourne and Market Deeping Hockey Clubs merged in 2011-12. Whilst the youngsters race across the artificial surfaces of the East Midlands and East Anglia, proud in their Bourne-Deeping colours these days, the Club is still proud to be able to accommodate the not-so-young likes of Stephen Knipe and Pete Moisey, now well into their late, very late thirties!!
The general mood at Bourne Deeping Hockey Club is incredibly positive at the moment. Pre-season is going well and, with a new crop of youngsters coming through into the senior ranks, there is a real buzz around the place. The Men’s 1st , 2nd and 3rd XIs all gained promotion in 2012-13 and, after a season of consolidation last year, are now looking to push on further up the leagues. After a league reshuffle, the Ladies’ 1st XI found themselves playing a much higher standard than the previous season, but raised their game against higher level opposition to stay in the league. Now, they will be looking for a top-end finish this year. With the club ever expanding (a 6th Men’s team will join the fray this season) and having recently formed a 3rd Ladies’ team, the future is looking bright for BDHC. This year (2014-15) will be their first year entering the England Hockey Cup Competitions, with Men’s, Ladies’ and Mixed teams looking to perform on the national stage. Likewise, the U18 Boys’, U16 Girls’, and U14 Boy’ teams will be looking to test themselves in hockey’s version of football’s FA Cup. The club is incredibly proud of its thriving junior section, with 60+ youngsters from 6-14 years old, regularly training on a Saturday morning. Providing opportunities for these youngsters to play senior hockey at an appropriate level for their development is a key priority for the club, and they have a dedicated Welfare Officer and Level 2 Coaching team who help make that transition from junior to senior hockey as smooth as possible. BDHC are most definitely a ‘community club’; since forming in 2011-12, they have hosted several Club Day events to raise money for good causes. In 2011, they ran a Sports Relief charity tournament, involving clubs from across the local area; in 2012, they completed the Golden Challenge (completing 2012 consecutive passes) to raise funds for the British Red Cross; and last year ran a Fancy Dress Hockey Day to raise

money for Children in Need. Alongside these club events, the club are always looking to support local events such as Race for Life and the Deepings Raft Race. Over the next five years, the club hopes to continue its primary aim of providing quality coaching and a development pathway for young hockey players in the local area; aiming to have a men’s and ladies’ team playing Premier level hockey.
Training takes place at Arthur Mellows Village College, Glinton, Peterborough. PE67JX. Ladies – Mondays 6:45 – 8:30 Gents – Thursdays 6:45 – 8:30 The club is currently seeking sponsorship and have a range of offers available for potential sponsors. Any interested parties - please contact the Club Treasurer via the website www.bournedeepinghc.co.uk

|Legal Corner - monthly advice from Double and Megson
Loan Danger! The perils of “helping out” with the mortgage
With the average first-time-buyer needing at least £16,000 deposit, it’s not surprising that many parents, and even grandparents, are helping by loaning or giving money towards the purchase of a property. The combination of family members and large sums of money can sometimes be fraught with problems. Before making that gift or loan, there is a range of matters that need to be considered:
• If the buyer is having a mortgage to fund the purchase, most mortgage lenders prefer that the deposit money is a gift to the buyer. They usually ask for a letter from those making the gift confirming that the money does not need to be repaid. • Whether you gift or loan the money to help buy the property, then the funds
will need to be brought to the mortgage company’s attention, ideally from the start of the mortgage application process. • If the money is to be a gift. • If you were to die within 7 years of making the gift, inheritance tax may need to be paid on that gift. • How would you feel if your child cohabited with someone, their relationship came to an end and the ex-partner then sought to claim an interest in the property , which your child had purchased from the monies you had gifted? • Are you happy for further loans to be secured on the property? What if your child got into financial difficulties and the property was repossessed? • If the money is to be a loan. • How do you want that loan protected? Do you require interest to be added to the money loaned? Is your child going to make monthly repayments ? What would happen if you fell out with your child and they refused to pay you back what had been loaned? • Do you require a charge to be registered against the property? This means you will be repaid out of the sale proceeds if the house is ever sold? Many parents believe that no protection is required and they will make their own private family arrangement. The problem with family arrangements is that people rarely consider or like to consider the possibility of future problems.

September Golf Tip: A tip for the hookers and pushers of the golf ball Not every golfer slices the golf ball. Some golfers are plagued by the opposite shot, the shot that dives violently low and fast from around the body with hook spin (or just gets pushed straight out across the target line.) This occurs because the path of the club comes into impact from inside the target line and leaves the impact zone outside of the target line. (You are standing inside the target line.) This is a drill to use on the driving range. It can be used with any club and all you need is a plastic bottle of water. Having determined your target line, place the bottle of water six inches on the target side of the ball, and just outside of the target line. Now make your swing. If you put your normal swing on the shot, you will connect with the water bottle with your golf club, so in effect, this drill is going to make you change your swing path so that you miss the bottle. In this way, you will hopefully, stop hooking or pushing your golf shots. I hope you enjoy this tip to improve your game and golf lessons are available in Bourne Golf Studio to help you enjoy your golf more. Call me on 01778 395992 or email darren@ bournegolfstudio.com
