Welcome to the May edition of... What better way to welcome you all, than with a smile? Mid-May to Mid-June happens to be National Smile Month, which is the U.K.’s largest and longest-running campaign, (forty years old this year), to promote good oral health. In a world which often seems to try its hardest at times to make us feel inadequate and sad, it’s worth remembering that it’s much easier to smile than it is to frown. On page 22, you’ll find some interesting snippets about smiling. Remember … life is like a mirror- we get the best results when we smile at it. May’s issue is hopefully going to fill you all with the joys of early summer. If you are getting ready for the holidays, our advice here on travelling to where delicious food is to be found may make you smile. I hope you enjoy the feature on Eating out in Deeping and how you don’t really have to travel far for that special meal. Finally, I was recently amused to hear that a local, well-known shoe shop owner was once able to supply a customer with a pair of Size 19 shoes – “That was no small feat”, he remarked.

Claire x

This beautiful time of the year sees new life re-emerge from winter, and hedgerows and gardens become a kaleidoscope of colour - but a word of warning to all of you outdoor types, “with more head than hair”. Richard Clevedon-Smith, 49, an Exeter bus-driver, had what might, to most of us, have been a “hair-raising experience”, when he is convinced that he was targeted by a huge, Eurasian eagle owl recently … because it mistook his shiny bald head for an egg! Scary stuff, indeed. Let’s hope that this month’s collection of articles and wise words from our knowledgeable contributors will help you make the most of what Deeping and the surrounding villages and towns have to offer in the weeks ahead. In response to Claire, I’d add that, to me, a smile is like a tight pair of pants — it makes your cheeks go up. Many thanks for the contributions from our usual suspects, and the positive and encouraging feedback we receive from you, our readers. Enjoy the read!

Mustard Seed Project set to Grow Again You may remember reading about the Mustard Seed Project in our August issue; a UK-based charity, founded by Market Deeping residents, Geoff and Rita Fowler, to support people living in a slum district on the outskirts of Mombasa, Kenya. When Rita and Geoff visited the project recently, they were able to share two pieces of good news… Deepings Rotary (who have previously funded sets of Swahili group-reading books and dictionaries for the pupils), plus a private donor, have given money to build a cess pit and soak-away. This may not sound very glamorous but, if you think of seventy-five children and three teachers, using one small pit latrine for two terms, you might

imagine just how great will be the need. The charity has also received a large donation from a charitable trust to complete the second phase of the new school building, which opened earlier this year with four classrooms: this is a very exciting development and cause for celebration amongst all those involved with Miche Bora School as it will allow the school to expand. The current pupils have wasted no time in creating a lively learning environment. The MSP clinic should be wellestablished in the next few months, serving pupils and their families. Two of the charity’s Kenyan trustees are retired nurses, and have organised the purchase and registration of the equipment, and a Kenyan clinic in the locality is offering access to

their facilities for blood and urine testing. A young nurse from the UK will be going out for a month in June to volunteer with the nurse in charge. Volunteers are invaluable to the project, sharing their skills and expertise, and they have achieved a lot over the years. Several have been UK primary school teachers, using their experience to advise the teaching staff on methods of teaching, assessing reading ages and making resources; one young woman spent weeks setting up a school library that the wider community can access; other people helped to reinstall the computer suite and take photographs for the website – and one came to teach the pupils circus skills! If you would like to get involved, please visit their Facebook page or www.mustardseedproject. co.uk to learn more, and discover how you can make a difference.

Countdown is on for the NSPCC sponsored cycle ride Organised by the Peterborough Business Support Group to raise vital funds to support abused, neglected and vulnerable children locally, the family charity cycle ride at Rutland Water takes place, from 9.00am. on Sunday June 5th.

Support Group chairman Chris Collier said: “The bike ride is one of the most important and popular events in our fundraising calendar and we hope as many people as possible will join us for a great family day out.”

Goodie bags and T-shirts will be handed out to all riders, and after pedaling around the seventeen mile circuit, cyclists can tuck into a tasty hog roast.

Entry is £10 adults/ £5 children and £25 for a family.

Words from the Mayor Councillor Wayne Lester Jubilee Park with Deeping St. James Parish Council on April 21st, in celebration of the Queen’s ninetieth birthday.

Council Items

At the Annual Town Meeting, I was delighted to be able to present to my charities, the sums of £865 to Age Concern and £850 to the Scouts and Guides. This month, I have been very busy attending many thanksgiving services and civic dinners, (the most joyful of these being a Lancashire Evening at Bourne, hosted by the Mayor and Mayoress of Bourne) and a boat ride in to the Wash with the Admiral of the Wash. Other events included opening the April fair in Deeping, attending the St. George’s Day Parade, (held in Deeping this year and organised by the Stamford and Bourne District Scouts) and attending the lighting of the beacon at the

Meet Your Local Councillor A Surgery for Market Deeping Town Council and Deeping St. James Parish Council will be held in The Deepings Library (10.00am - 12.00pm.) on the dates shown.

Date

We held our election for Deputy Mayor, and congratulations to Councillor Pauline Redshaw who was re-elected. We continue to have issues with the corner of Blenheim Way on the Northfields Industrial Estate in Market Deeping, with a spate of accidents. We are working with the Police and Lincolnshire County Council, to understand the reasons and, hopefully, we can implement some safety features to avoid more incidents in the future, such as interactive signage and anti-skid surfacing. In the meantime, I would urge users to slow down when approaching this tight bend. I will keep you updated on the progress we make. Please note that the Town Council AGM will take place on May 11th, at the Town Hall, starting at 7.30pm

Community items

The Library is going from strength to strength; please go along and find out what new facilities they have. We have heard that we may be getting funding to hold a literary festival in the Deepings - more information to follow, when available. MDTC

GreenThumb Looking after Lawns for Thirty Years!

herbicides safely and correctly. Different weeds need different treatments to be eradicated. So as a tip, we can weed (and feed!) your lawn cheaper than D.I.Y as you only pay for what is used, saving you time too!

GreenThumb is celebrating its thirtieth anniversary this year. It is the largest lawn care company in the UK and is proud to support nearly half a million customers in ‘bringing lawns to life!’

Keeping your lawn healthy Good maintenance will help to keep on top of weeds and provide a lush and green lawn. This includes correct mowing, watering, regular hollowtine aeration and lawn scarification.

Jane and Julia, who run GreenThumb Bourne and Stamford, give their seasonal advice on greening up lawns and getting rid of those unwanted weeds. Giving your lawn an early summer feed To support and keep your lawn healthy in warmer conditions, it is important to apply the correct products. We use our own customised, nonscorching, granular fertiliser which contains the right mix of all the essential nutrients for strong grass with a vibrant colour. Our technicians apply it to lawns using a rotary broadcast spreader. Incorrect application can lead to burn marks and can alter the pH of the soil, which will inhibit growth. So, if you choose to feed your lawn yourself, always take care to apply the product according to the manufacturer’s guidelines!

For useful information, hints and tips on how to have a beautiful lawn all year round visit our NEW website www.greenthumb.co.uk. If you prefer, call us for a chat.

Want us to look after your lawn? Remember we BKV-932-49076-Bourne-A7-P-Advert-non-DD-V3-T1-03marc can look after your lawn cheaper than D.I.Y!

Get on top of weeds To keep on top of the weed problem and ‘nip them in the bud’, we apply herbicide according to the GreenThumb programme. If your lawn has a weed problem, don’t worry - give us a call and we’ll be happy to sort them out for you. Our lawn-care technicians are trained and licensed to apply a range of commercial

Discovering . . . WEST DEEPING

There has been a settlement at West Deeping since prehistoric times and the present village is the smallest of the three Deepings on the southern edge of Lincolnshire, lying in a crook of the River Welland and set back from the high road linking its neighbours. The village is dominated by the 750-year-old St Andrewâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Church and the best view of it is across the meadows from the one-arch stone bridge over the river while mellow stone houses line nearly half a mile of the old Roman causeway we now know as King Street which crosses the waterway here on its straight and narrow way northward to Bourne.

and is Early English, Decorated and Perpendicular in style. Inside, we find an octagonal font, three-bay arcades on round piers, a mass of tiling in many colours and lots of stained glass, while the outstanding feature of the centre aisle is a large and magnificent two-tier brass chandelier of twenty-four lights dating from 1770.

The Domesday Book, the great land survey ordered by William the Conqueror in 1086, records that there were four water mills grinding corn at West Deeping but this probably included those at nearby Lolham and Maxey.

The manor house is approached from the village through cast iron gates mounted on stone piers and dates from 1634, a small vernacular H-shaped residence set in formal gardens surrounded by a moat, with stone-coped gables, mullioned windows and leaded lights of pleasing proportions with a galleried reception hall inside, all reminiscent of the comfortable landed gentry of centuries past.

Water mills could never have survived in the fens because of their slow moving rivers and absence of fall but there were many around the edge of this flat expanse of land, particularly adjacent to the great corn growing regions such as Lincolnshire. The one that remains in the village is a picture postcard building, beautifully restored as a family home and a surprise around the bend as you approach the church. St Andrewâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dates back to the 13th century, with further additions in 1676 and 1803 and a restoration in 1876-77, 14

D I S C O V E R I N G

This is a Grade II listed building, like many other properties in the village, even the public house, the Red Lion Inn, which was built in 1795 but now attracting a far wider clientele than the farm workers of yesteryear and, like similar hostelries in surrounding villages, vies for the restaurant trade from those wishing to eat out.

However, we can all take some simple precautions to protect our garden and possessions, particularly during weekends or summer holidays, when the home is empty. • Take a walk around your garden and check things that may be appealing to a thief - an unlocked back gate or shed (particularly if the shed contains expensive garden tools / machinery or bikes). • Get a reputable locksmith to secure gates and sheds. • Lock away ladders or anything which could be used to gain entry to your home. • CCTV surveillance will allow you to view your garden and any unwelcomed activity from your home. • Install some sensory / outdoor lighting. • Alarm the garage to provide additional security or think about installing garage roller shutter doors. • If your fencing is flimsy, broken panels could provide easy access to intruders, so consider investing in some new and improved fencing or panels. • If you are going away, even for the weekend – lock any back or side gates or other entrances to the garden to limit access. • Pack away out of sight any garden tools or equipment; even if you take a break from cutting the front lawn, keep your mower out of reach of opportunist thieves. • Secure expensive plants with wire pegs dug into the ground around the root ball. • Use a security pen to mark valuable items, like garden furniture, ornaments or trampolines, with your postcode. • Consider defensive planting like prickly hedges or shrubs. • Join a local Neighbourhood Watch Group – where you and your neighbours can look out for each other (see www.ourwatch.org.uk to find your local group) When thinking about having any security, garden maintenance or crime prevention work carried out in your home and / or garden, always use someone reputable and trustworthy.

by Buckles Solicitors

Inheritance - the “ostrich effect”

for many of us?

Inheritance is something of a taboo subject for the majority of us, leaving us feeling uncomfortable when faced with talking about making a Will. A survey by Aviva revealed that 63% of us have yet to discuss the subject with their families, despite four out of ten expecting to receive money when someone dies. And it is particularly the retiree age group that should be encouraged to talk openly with their families about their plans and dreams for the future, says Aviva retirement director Clive Bolton. Despite being a touchy subject, discussing the Wills and who will be dealing with your assets, settling your outstanding liabilities, and distributing the balance of your estate in accordance with your Will (Probate) can help families avoid possible complications when loved-ones pass away. It is important to realise that, if you do not have a legally-binding Will, your inheritance may be passed on in a way in which you don’t desire. If you have not prepared a Will, Intestacy Rules will apply instead which, aside from being a more complex and expensive administration procedure, provide that: • Your spouse or civil partner may only be entitled to part of your estate; • Your children or grandchildren will inherit your assets at age 18, which you may feel is too young; and • Only blood relatives and your spouse or civil partner can benefit. Your in-laws, friends and unmarried partner (whether having lived with you for many years or not) will NOT inherit your estate.

So why make a Will? Certainty. In your Will, you can choose who you want to deal with Probate, whether you want to give certain amounts or items to a family member, friend, charity or nothing at all, whilst understanding how this will legally affect your estate – it’s your choice. Types of Will A Will can range from very simple to extremely complex – the advantage in all cases is that it works for you so that it goes to whom you wish it to benefit and in the given circumstances. We offer a no-obligation first meeting and also a free service to store your Will in our strong room, whether you come to us to prepare it or not.

If you would like to speak to one of our experts about the legal areas mentioned above, please call Paul Belliere-Wilson on 01780 484531 or visit www.buckles-law.co.uk.

Cloudy2Clear Announce Trusted Trader Partnership Consumer champions Which? have now joined the thousands of customers who recognise that Cloudy2Clear Windows really are a business that you can TRUST. The company which specialises in repairing windows which are steamed up, broken or damaged by replacing the panes – not the frames has received the coveted ‘Which Trusted Trader’ status after going through a rigorous accreditation process entirely focussed on customer service. Group Managing Director Marcus McGee believes that Which? have endorsed Cloudy2Clear’s long standing company policy of delivering the highest standards possible

at all times. ‘Our service is simple. If your double glazing has misted up we can replace the glass at a fraction of the cost of a new window, in any type of frame, and with a new 10 year guarantee. But it’s not just about saving people money, although that obviously helps. Whilst a number of tradespeople perhaps don’t focus on customer care as much as they should do, we make sure we turn up when we say we will, do the job the customer requires and leave their house as clean as a whistle. Locally Cloudy2Clear service Deeping Gate, Deeping St James, Deeping St Nicholas, Maxey, Northborough, West Deeping & Langtoft

areas and manager Mark Sherwood agrees that this approach is a major factor in his success. ‘The truth is that it’s not just the personal satisfaction that I get from doing a good job but also it makes good business sense. I get a huge amount of business from friends and family of people I’ve done work for, which just goes to show how much a little bit of effort is appreciated as both my customers and, obviously a body as nationally important as Which? now recognise.’ So, if your windows are steamed up, broken or damaged give Mark a call for a free quotation on 0800 61 21 118 and he’ll be happy to help!

| Food Eating out in the Deepings and Surrounding Area This month, we have brought together for you a collection of some of the many outstanding eating establishments in this part of the world. Why feel the need to venture far, when there is so much, closer to home? The Deeping Stage, with its “a la carte” restaurant, caters for all occasions, offering several “Specials” during the week. Close by is one of the nation’s finest fish and chip shops. Take-away or eat-in, Linfords will show you why so many awards continue to come their way. Fancy something with a more trans-Atlantic feel? Then, the Iron Horse Ranch House, with its burgers, steaks and ribs, could provide the “Authentic American Experience”. Alternatively, the long-established Taj Mahal has a sound reputation for its Tandoori and Balti

cuisine, in relaxed comfortable surroundings. If it’s only for a delicious breakfast, snack or light lunch, then Cinnamon could be your choice, or you could pop out to the Eventus Centre, where the impressive Oasis Café is busy, creating a good reputation. The Goat at Frognall has long been a popular destination, for its wide range of meals and drinks, catering for all tastes in this traditional country-style pub. The few miles needed to reach the final pair of “top-spots” in our feature will be well worth the travelling. A new chef at Bourne’s Nags Head, for instance, has helped put the town centre hostelry back on to the radar of those seeking a special meal, whilst the Bluebell at Helpston is indeed creating a big stir on the local scene. Special “themed week-ends” and evenings are likely to prove quite an attraction – Strawberries and Pimms anyone?

The

NAGS HEAD at Bourne

It is always a pleasure to meet people who clearly love their work, who show an abundance of passion and are convinced that they can provide an excellent result. To then consult a respected reviewing site on-line, and discover that six of the last seven customer reviews have been excellent, with maximum points awarded, makes it even more encouraging. The Nag’s Head in Bourne’s Market Place, is at present benefitting from these fabulous reviews. Yes, there have been some tweaks and changes recently, and they have bravely decided to change what they are about, around the same time as their new Head Chef, Leighton O’Callaghan, joined the team at The Nag’s Head. The new strategy involves the provision of top quality, fresh food, locally-sourced wherever possible, expertly cooked and presented with great service. There will be new menus every six to eight weeks, and the emphasis is not so much on “going up-market”, with all the extra costs passed on to the diner, but instead, a reassuring “keep it all fresh, nothing out of a packet and all home-produced sauces, desserts, pickles and chutneys”. Some of the new things they now offer are a “Pie and a Pint” night on a Tuesday, from 6pm, with a fabulous home-made pie plus a pint of real ale for only £10.95. They have then gone on to introduce a separate menu for those looking for something a little more

D I S C O V E R I N G

special, with dishes such as honey-smoked pork belly, served with bubble and squeak and a pea puree, or slow roasted shoulder of lamb, served in a potato cake with roasted carrots and herb salad - (both taken from the “Something Special” Menu and priced at £12.95 each). They have kept their popular “Smokehouse Menu” with some updates and delicious twists on traditional dishes, cooked ‘low and slow’. The “Weekly Specials”, at £9.95 each or two for £18, are still there, whilst the “a la carte” choices, (six starters, seven “Pub Classics” and three “From the Grill”) continue the theme of variety without undue expense. An all-new Grill Night, using Herefordshire beef, is now running on Fridays, from 6pm. Two grills for £25, choosing from Rib-eye, Sirloin and T-Bone steaks, is sure to be a hit! They have even brought in an “Early Bird” deal for Wednesday and Thursday, between 5pm and 7pm, with two courses for only £12.95. The kitchen team consists of Leighton, talented souschef Ben Allen, and Oliver Thorley. Ben has a number of years’ experience and has worked his way through the ranks, sharing Leighton’s passion for food. The front-of-house team, led by Reece Johnson and Kayleigh Exton, are very enthusiastic and work hard to ensure that the eatingout experience at The Nag’s Head is second to none. The reviews, after only two months, are saying that the food and service are very good indeed!

| Your Finances

by Richard Ash, Director - Liberty Partnership Ltd

A good year for the tax man! During the tax year which ended on April 5th, 2016, HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) has taken a record £4.6 billion in Inheritance Tax. This is indeed a staggering figure, with many people still being unaware of the tax consequences to their estates when they die. When you die, it is the responsibility of your executors or personal representatives to submit an account to HMRC, detailing all of your assets. If this list (after the deduction of any debts) adds up to more than £325,000 for an individual (£650,000 for a couple), then it is significantly likely that you will be making a contribution to HMRC’s next record year!

House prices in our area are on the increase. Secondly, life insurance arrangements are taken into consideration on death and, finally, there is now much more flexibility over pension funds. Take these together, and it is easy to see how the values build.

The best way to demonstrate this is by way of a simple example:

Inheritance Tax is no longer simply just a tax for the wealthy. The most important thing to do is examine whether you’ll pay Inheritance Tax and what to do about it. As always, we believe that advice is essential.

If you jointly leave an estate of £800,000. Your representatives on death claim up to £650,000, without any tax being paid. Anything over £650,000, which in this example is £150,000, is then chargeable to tax at 40%. So the tax payable by your representatives would be £60,000.

If you would like advice or further guidance on Inheritance Tax planning or any other financial matter, then please contact our office today to arrange a FREE initial consultation.

Nutritional Therapy – Eat your way to Better Health

A quick scan of the daily papers brings up conflicting stories about food and nutrition – what’s good for us, bad for us, the newest “superfood”, and how we can ward off anything from germs to ageing! Health problems can often be traced back to eating foods that your body finds difficult to cope with. This can lead to symptoms like skin complaints, tiredness, mood swings, bloating, IBS and sleep problems. But how do you know what is appropriate for you? Nutritional therapy takes an in-depth look at your current diet, medical history and lifestyle, and then designs a client-specific plan for improving your health. Why Use Nutritional Therapy? Some people simply want to check that they are on the right track with regard to healthy eating. Others may want to lose weight or get help with their symptoms. Typical priorities in nutritional therapy consultations include supporting: ■ energy levels. ■ blood sugar and hormone balance.

in the promotion of health, peak performance and individual care”. Nutritional therapists use a range of tools to identify potential nutritional imbalances and understand how these may contribute to your health concerns. They work with you to help support your body towards maintaining health. What to expect in a consultation ■ A review of your health history. ■ Questions about your current and past symptoms and how they have changed. ■ A discussion about your diet and lifestyle. ■ An assessment of your nutritional status. ■ Information about functional testing where appropriate. ■ Formulation of a unique plan of manageable changes.

■ emotional and psychological wellbeing.

Travel Titillates Taste Buds Advice from Travel Counsellors

Travel Counsellors know better than most that one of the best things about travelling is the chance to sample the local cuisine. Whether it’s the fresh, aromatic flavours of Vietnam, a delicious selection of Spanish tapas or the aromatic spices of a Moroccan tagine, there’s something to suit all palates. With so many destinations, and a world of exciting flavours to tempt your taste buds, it’s difficult to decide just where to start. Luckily I’m on hand to provide some culinary inspiration, so let me help you discover some wonderful foodie destinations. This month and next, I’ll be taking you on a mouth-watering trip across parts of Europe, Africa and Asia, where not only the wonderful sights and the sounds of these five locations will astound you, but more importantly, the food will make it a trip to savour … in every sense of the word!

First stop … Granada, Spain

There’s no such thing as a free lunch? Travel Counsellors beg to differ! We

love finding our customers the best bargains and travel tips, and this one is no exception. Granada is renowned for its wonderful tapas and it’s one of the few places left in Spain where you can sample it for free. Order a drink at one of Granada’s many bars or bodegas, and you’ll be given free tapas for each drink that you buy. My Top Pick : Sample a full range of delicious small plates, such as marinated anchovies, delicious Portuguese style salt cod, goat’s cheese with honey or hummus with toasted sesame seeds.

Next … Vietnam

Fancy an adventurous long-haul break? Then why not book your holiday to Vietnam with Travel Counsellors this

year? Perennially popular and rightly so, Vietnam is a diverse and beautiful country. Its cuisine is nothing short of incredible, thanks to the use of fresh ingredients and colonial influence, as found in the delicious Vietnamese ‘Banh Mi’ baguettes. My Top Pick : No trip to Vietnam would be complete without sampling the national dish ‘Pho’. This delicious noodle soup consists of light beef or chicken broth, flavoured with fresh ginger, spring onions, flat rice noodles and delicate slivers of chicken, pork or beef.

ACHIEVING THE ENERGY BALANCE

Our body shape and bodyweight are determined by the energy (kilocalories) we consume in the form of food and drink, and the energy (kilocalories) we expend in our physical activities. It is a simple fact that, if our energy input is greater than our energy output, our bodies will store excess energy in the form of body fat. We have a choice in determining our bodyweight by controlling our input and output energy levels and, of course, this may be achieved by paying close attention to diet alone. However, relying solely and continuously on a reduced calorie diet to regulate body weight can prove to be a depressing and sometimes debilitating lifestyle, often resulting in a return to bad eating habits and feelings of failure.

Placing too much emphasis upon weight-loss can be demotivating and, whilst practising good diet control is of course a keystone in fitness and health management, regular substantial physical activity can assist in changing body shape, which also contributes to reducing body weight. Did you know that muscle is more dense than fat? And that a kilogramme of muscle takes up less physical space than a kilogramme of fat? Therefore, more muscle mass means less body volume, which means you can weigh the same but actually be slimmer and leaner! So, are you paying too much attention to your bodyweight and should you be more focussed on changing your body shape? Contact us at Empire Gym for more information.

Diet, however, will always play a part in your general health and fitness, and the recommendation is to eat and drink less of the foods that are high in sugars and fat content (such as confectionery, sugary drinks and fast foods) and more of the foods that are lower in calories, such as lean meats, fruit, vegetables, beans and pulses. The facts are simple; to control your weight and body shape you must; • Manage your energy intake by adjusting / modifying your diet to lower the number of calories consumed. • Ensure regular energy output in the form of substantial physical exercise to raise the number of calories expended. SO …

“If you feel your weight control diet is not going right - go lift!!

Last year, HM Revenue and Customs collected £4.6billion from Inheritance Tax, compared to £2.69billion in 2010, data from the Office for National Statistics reveals.

• In 2015, the Treasury collected £4.6billion in Inheritance Tax revenues.

While the threshold for paying IHT remains frozen at £325,000 since 2009, soaring property prices have dragged an increasing number of middle-class households into paying the death duties.

• An increasing number of middle-class households are now paying death duties. The amount of money raked in by the Treasury from Inheritance Tax has soared by 70% in the last five years, new findings reveal.

Call us on 01778 382723 to discuss.

And it gets worse, under a proposed Government scheme, households with estates worth over £2million could be subject to a £20,000 probate fee, a 9000% increase on the current rate. All of this serves to highlight the importance of proper specialist planning as you get older. At Will and Probate Services, we only deal with later-life issues, so there is nowhere better to turn to than us for this important advice. Call us today to make your appointment.

How to Hide and Disable those annoying Windows 10 upgrade prompts Microsoft are getting very aggressive in trying to ‘persuade’ users to move to Windows 10, and this will get worse as we approach the July deadline for a free upgrade for Windows 7 and 8 users. Many users are happy with their Windows version, so let’s look at how we can get rid of these nagging messages. Hide the Windows 10 upgrade icon: If, at the bottom right of your desktop, you see the Windows 10 upgrade icon, then you can hide this by clicking on the small triangle on your task bar. You’ll then see a list of notifications. Find GWX and change it to Hide icon and notifications.

• Go into Windows Update (from All Programs in Windows 7) • Next click on Update History. Now scroll down to find KB3035583. • Click the Installed Update button at the top of the window, find KB3035583 again • Right click (ie; press right mouse button on it) and select Uninstall Change your Windows Update settings to hide ‘Recommended Updates’ The final piece is to now change your Windows Updates so that it only suggests ‘important’ updates (ie; essential ones). To do this go back into your Windows Update screen. Click on Change Settings and then untick the box that selects ‘Give me recommended updates’. This will prevent the KB3035583 from reloading. The process above will work in most cases but becomes ineffective if Microsoft change the upgrade to a mandatory (important) upgrade rather than a recommended one. It wouldn’t surprise me if they took this step at some point in the future.

Remove the Windows 10 upgrade from Windows Update The Windows 10 update prompting is actually delivered to you via the standard Windows Update process that most of us are familiar with. It is actually update KB3035583 and, as an update this can be removed.

D I S C O V E R I N G

Another method, as reported by a national magazine recently, is to use an application called GWX Control Panel to block the Windows 10 update process. This is available online from http://ultimateoutsider.com/ downloads/. This is reported as being effective but I cannot vouch for it as I have never used it, preferring the manual method detailed above.

| Spotlight on Schools

Market Deeping Community Primary School – At the Centre of the Community Tucked away down Willoughby Avenue is Market Deeping Community Primary School (MDCPS), which has a huge amount to offer, to both the children who attend this popular, over-subscribed school, and to their families. “Community” is in the centre of the school’s name and, by working with the Market Deeping Children’s Centre, Madcaps Out of School Club and Ready Teddies Nursery, we provide a variety of services to children and their parents to help them become part of the community they live in, and to thrive within that community. The school also forms part of the “Deepings Cluster” of schools, a collaborative working partnership between both the primary and secondary schools in the local area. We believe that sharing information and working together with others promotes an inclusive, supportive learning environment to all children, and gives them the strongest foundations on which to build for their future. Market Deeping Children’s Centre: Sure Start Children’s Centres give help and advice on child and family health, parenting, money, training and employment, as well as early-learning activities for pre-school children. The centres are open to all parents, carers and children, and many of the services are free. A brochure of activities is available for parents, carers or grandparents of under-fives, to access free sessions throughout the week at certain times during Monday to Friday. During the school holidays, the Children’s Centre offers a range of free activities and sessions for children, up to five years, and also for older siblings, up to the age of eight years. Madcaps Out of School Club: Under the leadership of Sue Bell, Madcaps Out of School Club (rated “Outstanding” by Ofsted), provides pre- and after-school care for children aged from three to fourteen years. Children have lots of opportunities to choose and create their own

plans and activities, which range from sports, crafts, fun games and trips out to ICT, and lots more. Madcaps incorporates the full EYFS programme for all under-fives. Ready Teddies Nursery: The Nursery provides pre-school education to twenty-six children each year. If there is space, the Nursery can accept children the term after their third birthday, and follows the EYFS programme through a range of fun, play-based activities both indoors and outdoors. It is open from 9am to midday, every weekday in term-time. Market Deeping C. P. School: The school has currently a one-form entry of thirty children, and is rated as “Good” by Ofsted. Good and outstanding teaching is supported by a vibrant curriculum and, through this broad and interesting curriculum, the school helps pupils achieve well in all subjects. We feel that children learn best if they find enjoyment, stimulation and security at school. Parents have a vital role to play, and we endeavour to work together as a team to fully realise the potential of every child. Our aim is for children to leave our school as well-adjusted and wellrounded human beings, ready for the challenges of secondary school, with happy memories of the time they have spent here at Market Deeping Community Primary School.

Babesiosis - Advice for Dog Owners

Babesiosis has long been a disease seen only in Southern Europe, Asia and Africa. In the past, it has only been diagnosed in dogs returning to the UK from abroad but, recently, there has been a localised outbreak in Harlow in Essex prompting concerns that this may spread further through the country. Babesiosis is spread most commonly by ticks, but also occasionally in dog bites and blood transfusions. Babesia are protozoan parasites that attack red blood cells of dogs, causing them to break down (haemolysis) and this releases haemoglobin. This results in anaemia and jaundice. The incubation period is about two weeks, and dogs affected are usually very ill with a high fever, lethargy, red urine and anaemia and they often collapse. This can lead to organ failure. We already recognise a similar disease called Autoimmune Haemalytic Anaemia(AIHA) which we diagnose on blood smear. Babesiosis often induces AIHA, so in future we will need to differentiate between these diseases.

This disease is still extremely rare and localised in the UK. There have been no reported cases in Lincolnshire. The best control is to treat for ticks. Killing the ticks, in the first twenty-four to fortyeight hours after getting on to the dog, dramatically reduces the chance of contracting the disease, as well as reducing the spread. There are several good products on the market that can achieve this. Speak to your local vet for more information.

For more information, please contact the surgery on 01778 422863.

Babesia can be quickly diagnosed on blood tests. There are PCR tests available that detect the presence of Babesia DNA, as well as often being visible on blood smear. Most ticks in Europe are Babesia canis and will respond to treatment with Imidocarb Dipropionate and will recover over several weeks, if treated early. Some treated dogs can go on to be carriers for the disease and get a more chronic form of the disease later on. Many dogs will need hospitalisation and some may require blood transfusions and other fluid therapies.

| Motoring - monthly advice from Tom Ingram

“Dash Cams” to Combat “Crash for Cash” Claims Welcome to the motoring section and this month I am going to be raising the question of the value of “dash cams” in vehicles. “Dash cams” are small video recording devices, which come in a wide range of complexity and can be positioned around your car, including the dashboard, to record any incidents that occur whilst driving. My driving school car covered just shy of 30,000 miles last year, not just me driving, but my pupils on my Intensive Driving Courses! In all those miles, I can recall one solitary incident where a driver of a white van in Grantham attempted what I strongly believe to be a “crash for cash”. For those who are not aware, there was an incredible surge in insurance claims a couple of years ago, which often included costly compensation fees for a variety of medical reasons, all of which were strongly believed to be false and were deliberate

crashes for cash claims, hence the name. Although not as frequent, I still hear these days of highly suspicious incidents from my driving instructor colleagues across the U.K. According to the Insurance Fraud Bureau, it is believed to cost purely innocent U.K. drivers hundreds of millions of pounds collectively each year. If you look carefully in front and rear windscreens, you will notice that “dash cams” are increasingly being used by drivers, not only to combat this problem of fraudulent claims, but also simply to record the variety of dangerous, careless and inconsiderate driving that is occurring on the roads these days. They come in a range of prices, matching how smart the technology is, and they should be serious food-for-thought for any drivers out there in Bourne, Deeping and surrounding areas who actually take pride in their “no claims bonus”.

Tom Ingram is the owner of BIG TOM Driving School that provides Five Day Intensive Driving Courses in Bourne, Deeping and surrounding areas. Tel: 0800 689 4174 www.BIGTOM.org.uk 48

Market Deeping Bowls Club - (“Cream of the Greens”) Market Deeping Bowls Club used to be called the ‘Cabbage Patch’, but now it’s known as the cream of the greens, and comparable to any of the high quality bowls greens in the area. Now in its seventieth year, the club, at the end of Douglas Road, past the Community Centre, started off with only three rinks, next to an area that can only be described as wasteland. In the late 1980s, the green was extended to six rinks. A few years later, with the aid of a lottery grant, a new clubhouse was built, but there was still one ongoing problem to be solved - the green that nobody wanted to go and play on, the ‘Cabbage Patch’. The committee decided that it was time for action, so two of the club’s stalwarts, Mick Biggin and Mick Caldwell called in Mark Hammond, the area’s highly respected green-keeper and, under his expert eye, they have transformed the green into one where everybody longs to play. In fact, the President of the Northants Bowling Federation, Bob Warters, wrote to the club’s secretary, Tony Coe, saying ,“ I just wanted to say how much the team that I captain in the Stamford League - Ketton Kingfishers - enjoyed playing on your refurbished green. It was a revelation. 50

D I S C O V E R I N G

Congratulations”. As a result, the club has accepted an invitation to be affiliated to the Northants Bowling Federation, allowing club members to enter the county competitions. They will also be hosting the final of the Stamford and District League’s prestigious Oddfellows Rosebowl Final. An association with the adjacent Boundary Club offers the availability of their fully licensed bar facilities for after match drinks, and also fundraising activities, such as quiz and race nights. On the competitive side, the club runs three teams in the Stamford and District Bowls League and four in the Peterborough League. Bowls is a sport that has no age barrier, and can be enjoyed by everyone, as a family or by those who are single, and are looking for a new pastime and a way to meet new friends. To find out more, e-mail Tony Coe at marketdeepingbowls@aol. co.uk - it could be the start of an exciting new adventure!

| Police Patrol by Bourne’s Sergeant 503 Rick Mosley

Sergeant Mosley’s Musings – Rogue Traders There have been some reports recently of possible rogue traders operating in the area. It is important to know that many traders who come to your door are honest, legitimate people but there are some with the intention of scamming you out of your hard-earned cash. Rogue traders call on unsuspecting households, offering convincing deals to try to get you to agree to have work carried out. If you accept work from a rogue trader, you’ll pay much more than you intended … for very poor, unnecessary and sometimes dangerous work. The usual type of work offered includes garden clearance, roofing work and tarmac drives. Those who accept work may well find the price increases or the work is left unfinished. These simple tips can be found on the Action Fraud website. 1. Don’t sign on the spot – if you are interested, ask them to come back, maybe when you have someone else with you, or you’ve shopped around. 2. Always check the trader’s identity. Never use the number on their card. Check to see if they are a member of a reputable trade body.

8. Don’t hand over a cash deposit – a reliable trader will never ask you to do this (even if they need materials). Never agree to go with a trader to the bank to take money out. 9. Think before you agree to a trader starting any work straight away – have a seven day cooling-off period. 10. Trust your instincts - if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is! And finally ... it’s OK to say no. Remember, it’s your doorstep and your decision. If you feel pressured for any reason, ask the person to leave. To report a crime, call 101 (or 999, if in progress). Crimestoppers 0800 555 111.

3. Be wary of special offers or warnings about your home - don’t get taken in by sales banter or high pressure selling techniques. Don’t be hurried into a decision, even if there is a discount. 4. Always shop around for the best price - check with other companies offering the same product first. Make sure the price and product is right for you. 5. Read the small print - always read documents carefully before you sign them and make sure you fully understand your rights. 6. Double check the facts - make sure you fully understand the total costs of the transaction. 7. Talk to someone you trust for a second opinion.
