Inside this issue we have news of the Jazz Festival and the Carnival, some saucy seaside frolics and a look ahead to Festival8 which looks like being a great weekend.

AGE CARE AND DEVELOPMENT Life in Mukunyu can be very hard. Few in this population are well enough or old enough to work in the local tea plantations so just finding shelter, food and clothing is a constant struggle. The diet of the locals is mostly posho which is a maize flour. Bread, meat or green vegetables are luxuries reserved for holidays and the nearest clean water supply is more than two miles away. Even the most basic medicines like paracetemol are beyond the reach of the meagre resources of most people in the community and an education is all but impossible for children who do not have the money to pay school fees.

AGE CARE AND DEVELOPMENT

“WE’VE MADE PROGRESS BUT THERE’S STILL SO MUCH TO DO” HELPING TWO COMMUNITIES

rom time to time we like to bring our readers an update on one of our favourite local charities Age Care and Development which does so much to assist the disadvantaged in Western Uganda. ACAD is the brainchild of our good friend Mark Howarth of Garden Aid who donates 10% of his profit to funding projects aimed at helping a community of elderly adults and children, mostly survivors of civil war and HIV epidemics in Mukunyu Province. At present Mark and Age Care Development are working to raise £10,000 for the building of a much needed hospital, workshop facility and residential centre. As you can see from our pictures some progress has been made on the building although there is still much to be done before the building is ready. In the meantime an outbreak of typhoid and dysentery has lead to several deaths among the local population who were simply unable to afford the bottled drinking water that they were advised to drink. In large parts of the world dirty drinking water is one of the commonest causes of death and illness and the establishment of new clean wells is high on the list of ACAD’s priorities. They are also seeking to raise money to pay the school fees for many of the local children to enable them to get the education which will help to raise them out of hardship. If you’d like to help Mark make life better for the residents of Mukunyu he’d love to hear from you. You can contact him by telephone on 07742 638423 or at gardenaid2010@yahoo.co.uk

LEARNING

It’s Alice’s sesquicentenary which means she has spent

150 Years In Wonderland

ho’s the most celebrated character in children’s literature? Harry Potter? Charlie Bucket? The Wimpy Kid? They’re all good but the greatest of them all is a young woman who first met the public 150 years ago and has remained a star ever since, not just in books but in film and theatre too. 2015 marks the 150th anniversary of the publication of Lewis Carroll’s Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, a landmark in the history of children’s literature and one of the strangest and most enduring stories ever written. It was originally

entitled Alice’s Adventures Under Ground, and came about as a result of a friendship between Reverend Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, a young Mathematics don at Christ Church, Oxford and the children of the Dean of the college, one of whom was Alice Liddell. Originally a story made up to entertain the children on a boat trip, Alice requested it be written down, which Dodgson did as a Christmas gift in 1864 with his own illustrations. There have been special

editions, stamps and conferences to celebrate but we think the best thing to do is just to sit down, open the books and enjoy one of the greatest masterpieces of world literature ever created! And if you think you’re too old then read them to the kids!

PETS

Would you like the pleasure of canine company without the expense or the long term commitment? Then consider being a doggy holiday host with

Barking Mad We all love a holiday but every dog owner knows how difficult it can be booking to go away and worrying about a beloved pet. Relatives can sometimes step in to help but for many people kennels are the only option and although they can be very good, it isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t quite like home. Fortunately now thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an alternative. When a dog owner goes on holiday, their dog can have a holiday too - with Barking Mad. Barking Mad are travel agents for dogs, organising thousands of doggie holidays nationwide every year, and due to the popularity of their service the Grimsby office is looking to recruit new hosts. To be part of the Barking Mad family all you need is to be a dog lover and to have sufficient free time. It often suits a retired person or someone who works from home. If you have a sociable dog that enjoys company or if you just yearn for canine company this could be for you.

Barking Mad offer a fantastic opportunity to enjoy all the companionship and exercise that comes with having a dog but without the expense. All visiting dogs arrive with food and bedding so there is no cost burden for the host and everything is arranged in strict confidence so you never have to worry about anyone other than a Barking Mad representative coming to your home.

The host role is very flexible. You can host as frequently as you wish and many hosts soon build up a selection of doggy friends that can become regular visitors. And youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re never left feeling on your own because your local office will always be available, 24 hours a day, for help and support if you need it. Collection and delivery is carried out by Barking Mad and they also provide Public and Employers Liability Insurance. If doggy hosting sounds like something you would enjoy then why not give Claire a call at the number below to arrange an informal meeting. This will help her to match the right dog to your home and lifestyle. You can discuss the kind of dog that will suit you best so everything works just right for you, the owner and most importantly for your doggy visitor. If you love dogs and would like to enjoy the company of a visiting dog then please contact: Claire Dutton 01472 822233 or claire.dutton@barkingmad.uk.com.

LINCOLNSHIRE SHOW

of food production in the country. From Grimsby in the north with its long tradition of fishing to the flat agricultural landscapes around Boston that supply so much of our nation’s fruits and vegetables, it’s a county where food matters. Not just any old food either – the name of Lincolnshire is synonymous with quality and a ‘second place will not do’ attitude that means that when you buy Lincolnshire foods you know that you’re buying the best. Our famous food heritage includes the succulently marbled beef from the Lincoln Red cattle which graze many of the county’s pastures, Lincolnshire sausages with their rustic texture and rich sage aromatics, and fine lamb and poultry, including ostrich, for whom the county has proven to be an ideal environment. Grimsby fish is of course legendary but it’s not just a centre for cod and haddock. The local smoked fish was awarded protected geographical indication status by the EU in 2009 and the fish docks are also home many salmon specialist firms and to boats dedicated to the crab and lobster harvest, supplying top quality shellfish to customers all over the continent.

There are also a wide range of delicious artisan cheeses, and on the sweeter side of things let’s not forget Lincolnshire plum loaves, each made to the bakers very own secret special recipe and the centuries old favourite Grantham gingerbread. We could go on. We haven’t even mentioned the fine restaurants and hotels which the county has to offer, nor the many craft breweries and wineries or the fabulous bakers, and confectioners but we’ve said enough to make the case that Lincolnshire is a county that’s all about quality food and when you but from Lincolnshire you know that you’re buying the best.

SUPER foods?

all they’re cracked up to be?

Blueberries are the original superfoods. They’re a fantastic source of Vitamin K and have been linked to improved memory and cardiac health and may have antiinflammatory properties. Chocolate and cocoa are widely believed to have major health benefits. It’s the main beverage of the Kuni indians of Panama and they have been found to have Goji berries come from Tibet. Bittersweet and packed with Vitamins C, B2 and A plus iron and other anti-oxidants and they’ve been . Recommended by Madonna no less!

remarkably low blood pressure. Recent studies have also linked chocolate with lowered stress and anxiety. Tastes nice too and the bit of banana will do you no harm.

Mackerel. Sardines. Salmon. Just about any oily fish in fact, you take your pick. An essential part of the Mediterranean diet oily fish can be an important part of a healthy lifestyle plus they’re rich in Omega 3 fatty acids which are essential for growth and development.

Garlic contains vitamins C, B6, manganese, selenium and other antioxidant. More recent

SUPER FOODS FACT OR FICTION? It seems like barely a week goes by without a new food craze starting up. There’ll be banner headlines, promises of longer life healthier hearts, a reduction in the signs of ageing. Suddenly the new miracle food becomes almost unobtainable as eager buyers descend on the supermarkets and shelves empty as fast as they can be restocked. In fact “superfood” is a term that isn’t used by doctors or dieticians and since 2007 it has been illegal to use the term in marketing without solid scientific evidence. The foods on this page have all had the superfood label applied at one point or another but these ones are all listed on the NHS website as being good for you as well. So fill your boots but don’t go mad. Moderation is the key. How boring is that?

Pomegranate is a good source of fibre. It also contains vitamins A, C and E, iron and other antioxidants (notably tannins). There’s lots of research going on about its benefits to heart health, but as yet the jury is out.

research suggests garlic may be effective against high blood pressure, cardiovascular disease, cholesterol and colds.

Beetroot is full of iron and folates. It has been linked to decreased blood pressure (but so has going for a walk) and also to improvements in dementia sufferers.

Broccolli is good for you. That’s why it tastes the way it does. It’s got vitamin C and folate and vitamins A, K, calcium, fibre, beta-carotene and antioxidants. You should eat it more. But you won’t., will you? You’re a bad person.

The real superfoods. It’s a bit boring but if you really want to dine on superfoods then get down to your greengrocers, and get your five a day. There’s lots more information on so called superfoods at www.nhs.uk and they also have guidance on how to make sure that you, and your family, are getting their five a day.

FESTIVAL8 Josie-Anne Gray talks to Festival8 curator Sean Atkinson

o make an impact in today’s crowded festival calendar a new event has to be a bit special. Festival8 is that special event. It’s as much about wellness and finding happiness as it is about music, with a fantastic range of activities for festival goers to enjoy. When I speak to Sean he tells me about the participatory ethos of the event. “We want people to be part of what they’re seeing, to become part of the spectacle.” There’s certainly plenty of opportunity for that with workshops on cheer leading, circus skills, painting, lantern making, percussion and singing. There is also a place limited workshop on making LED jellyfish, I'll be booking early for that one. This festival has a water theme and is the first of five, each dedicated to one of the four elements and the fifth in 2020 dedicated to spirit. The skills learned in the workshops can be put to good use in the Saturday night festival parade, a water themed costume spectacular. Sean and his team are certainly putting in the hours in terms of planning and preparation. “It takes hundreds of hours to get ready for something like this,” Sean tells me, “there’s so much to do. From arranging PRS licenses and security to the six weeks of site preparation and the three weeks take down. And the price for all this entertainment? “In an era of austerity we are keeping the ticket price low at £55 for the weekend but we will have to increase it over the years to £75 in order to ensure that we are sustainable.” The festival is genre defying. Punk bands share with classical musicians. There’s a healing area with massage, ear candling and aromatherapy will be on hand to soothe body and mind and booking a treatment gives you access to the wood fire hot tub. “Bring your swimming costume,” Sean advises. His enthusiasm is infectious as he tells me about the art trail in the woodland that is planned, the water slide on the hill, the mud wrestling and the Holi colour fight planned for the Sunday afternoon. Giant chess and jenga will also be available alongside green woodworking and chainsaw sculpture. They really have thought of everything. Tickets are selling fast and numbers will be capped so book now via the website www.festival8.co.uk for this unique boutique festival on one of the most beautiful sites in Lincolnshire.

CARNIVAL

In 2012 the Cleethorpes Carnival Parade was officially over. Funding had disappeared and it looked as though the event would be consigned to history. Fortunately Young’s Seafoods had other ideas and they stepped in and rescued the event and the past few years have seen the parade go from strength to strength. We spoke to Marina Richardson, Marketing Controller at Young’s Seafoods about their role in saving the carnival. How long have you been involved with the Carnival? I’ve been with the team since Young’s started to support it in 2013.

Was the Carnival an important part of your childhood? I lived in Yorkshire but I remember coming to Cleethorpes for the Jubilee and How did the Young’s link up watching the carnival.

SADDLE UP FOR SUMMER

British cycling is on a roll and following the success of last year’s visit by the Tour de France the good people at Yorkshire Tourism didn’t want to let the grass grow under their feet, so this year we have a follow up. Three days of racing featuring some of Europe’s best teams and riders and we got an invite so we thought we’d pay a visit to Stage 2 of ....

Le Tour de Yorkshire T

he start is in Selby, next to the abbey and the streets are decorated with blue and yellow bicycles, bunting and balloons to welcome the race. From there the route heads east, passing North of Hull, through Beverley and north via Wetwang before ending up in York. It’s a total of 174km which is 108 miles in English money. It’s a cold day and even with all those layers of lycra thermocladding you wouldn’t want to swap with them. In the paddock (which is a Morrison’s car park everything is remarkably free and easy. I’d expected the stars and their multi thousand pound bikes to be kept well away from the public but not a bit of it. We wander in and out of the team busses, spotting the big names. It’s not easy because there are thousands of club riders in full gear. The biggest crowd is around the team Wiggins HQ and the man himself pops out to shake hands and pose for selfies with his fans. The excitement increases as the riders sign in and then gather at the start. At the front is Lars Petter Nordhaug, wearing the leader’s shirt with the blue and yellow of Yorkshire. Alongside is the sprint leader in green, the mountains leader in pink and the holder of the combativity prize in grey. Eventually the crowd performs a countdown and then they’re away and after a lap of Selby they head for open country and we set off to meet them at York Racecourse. When they arrive there’s a group of seven who have managed to pull ahead. About three minutes later the pelotton arrives, coming down the hill past the racecourse at amazing speed,

SADDLE UP FOR SUMMER front wheels almost touching the rears wheels of the man in front. It’s over in a flash but it’s fantastically exhilarating and we settle in to wait for them as they come round for their second of four visits. Gradually the lead group are hauled in by the pack and as the racers enter the final straight alongside the racecourse it seems like any of twenty could cross the line first. In the event it is Dutchman Moreno Hoffland of the LottoNL-Jumbo team who crosses first in a time of 3:57;58. To give you an idea of how close the race is the rest of the top ten finish on the same time. We head off as the clear up teams start work. It’s been a great day and it makes you think how great it would be if, in future years, the race could come South of the bridge for a while. After all, if the Tour de France can visit Yorkshire it ought to be possible for the Tour de Yorkshire to visit North East Lincs. Somebody should ask.

JC Cook

LTD

SADDLE UP FOR SUMMER

hether you’re already a keen cyclist or you’re just thinking about taking it up then one place that ought to be high on your list for a visit is the new JC Cook Ltd showroom on Jackson Place (down Wilton Road, take the first left and follow the signs). When you enter and the doors glide shut behind you it’s like stepping into a big city prestige store with hundreds of bikes, massive displays of clothing and equipment, a repair centre, changing rooms and a first rate coffee shop. It’s the kind of place that makes shopping for your new bike a real pleasure. JC Cook Ltd is a well known local name of course. Founded by Jack Cook in 1954, present owner Adrian Blow took over twenty years ago. As an ex-army mechanic and keen cyclist he had a special interest in the repair side of the business and that department is still going strong both at the new showroom and at the firm’s shop in Ladysmith Road. Cycling has been enjoying a boom in popularity lately following the UK’s Olympic success and every weekend finds hundreds of local people out on the Wolds roads or enjoying the thrills of off road riding or cyclo-cross. Cooks carry a range of excellent machines by the likes of Cube, Orange and many others to meet the needs of the most demanding of sports cyclists but they also offer ranges suitable for commuters and beginners and a great range of kid’s machines. There’s even a selection of electric bikes for those who like to let the battery take the strain. All of which means that if you’re in the market for a new bike or if you just fancy a leisurely look at what’s available and a great cup of coffee, you couldn’t pick a better place to start than the new JC Cook Ltd.

Orange are mountain bike specialists and they’re British. From their Halifax base they produce an acclaimed range of off road bikes that are tough enough to take on any terrain.

Cube bikes are manufactured in Germany and combine high specifications and superb quality with great value. They offer a range of bikes for all purposes from commuters to high performance sports machines.

Planning a summer getaway?

POWDER CHECK your vehicle for perfect peace of mind!

hat’s the dumbest thing you can do when driving to your summer holiday? Well believe it or not last summer over 2000 drivers had to be rescued because they had run out of fuel on the motorway! So before you set off a few basic checks – POWDER checks – are in order to make sure you arrive safely and on time. And if you’re not feeling confident you’ll find some excellent mechanics on these pages who’ll be glad to help.

P O W D E R

Petrol: Make sure that you have enough for the journey and plan refuelling stops along the way to avoid mishaps. Oil: Check it when the engine is cold and the vehicle is level. Also check clutch, brake, and power steering fluids. Water: Radiator and windscreen washer bottles should be checked while parked on a level surface. Damage: Check bodywork, wheels and fixtures, including the mirrors. Ensure windows are clean inside and out. Electrics: Check all lights, indicators and hazards are in good working order and clean. Also test the horn. Rubber: Check tyre pressures and tread depth, and look for damage to the tyres and wheels and wiper blades.
