14 Years of The Clock It has been fourteen years since the charity was formed and the organisation is going from strength to strength. It is expected that over 900 individuals will be supported by The Clock this year.
to come back to Thirsk in hope that he could live with his Dad. He hitch hiked and walked to Thirsk but unfortunately arrived to find his Dad in a new relationship with very little interest in him.
A young person who has benefitted from the support said, ‘Having a member of staff to talk to has changed my life, they helped me see beyond the crisis I was in and supported me in turning my life around. I will never forget that they were there when I needed them’.
Jack was alone, homeless, hungry and cold and resorted to sleeping under a bridge outside of the town. During the day he kept warm by visiting the library and that’s where he saw a poster for The Clock. He went to The Clock, knocked on the door and was greeted with a warm welcome. Over a cup of tea and some toast he told me his story.
The staff and Trustees believe it is the T.L.C. element which makes The Clock unique. The staff try to do the things for some young people that other people’s families do such as washing clothes, providing food and buying clothes when necessary. This aspect of the organisation has been essential for some young individuals over the years and has made their difficult lives that little bit easier. Staff would not be able to do this without the donations of food, household items and money given by members of the community. Everyone involved is committed to making sure that The Clock is here for future generations of young people. The charity relies on donations from the community, and can guarantee that every penny is used wisely. When I met Jack I could see that he was very low, he was painfully underweight and had a face that shouldn’t belong to a teenager. I sat down with him, made him a cup of tea, and he told me his story. Jack and his two sisters were born in Thirsk but moved to Derby with their mum when the marriage ended. They moved numerous times as their mum struggled to maintain relationships, keep a tenancy and regularly misused alcohol. Jack and his mum’s relationship broke down completely during his GCSEs and she threw him out of the flat. After sleeping rough for a time he decided

Fundraising Examples Cake Stall
Abbeyfield Supported Housing, ‘The Limes’, organised a cake stall with 50% of the takings donated to The Clock. They asked people they knew to bake cakes. They raised £750, of which, The Clock was given £375 £375 pays for a trip to try something new for 15 young people
Marathon
Andy Butcher collected sponsorship from his friends and family when he ran the London Marathon. He raised over £800 for The Clock.
Over the next two weeks we supplied Jack with something to eat and found some short term accommodation. He came every day to speak to the staff, warm up, and have a hot drink; we managed to provide him with new clothing and toiletries, all donated from the community. He started to fill out a little; he looked human again. We arranged a meeting with a housing association that could provide him with longer term accommodation and could also give him the ongoing support that he needed. He has made some new friends, and managed to re-acquaint himself with some old school friends, he now feels like he has truly come home. We helped him to enrol at a local college where he is now working towards a diploma in horticulture; Jack has always been interested in plants and flowers. He also has a part time job. He pops in to see us every month, usually on payday, although he says that he will never be able to thank us enough for the support that we gave him, he likes to get a few tins of food for us when he goes shopping. Thanks to the donations, food and clothing from individuals, groups and businesses in Thirsk, Jack is enjoying being a teenager.
£800 pays for one of The Clock’s vans to be insured for the year
Tea Party
A friend of The Clock organised a tea party for her friends. She asked them for a donation of £10 each which resulted in her raising £250 for The Clock. £250 pays for a place on The Clock’s anger management course
Coast-toCoast
Staff from The Clock organised a sponsored bike ride across the country. They raised £2500 for The Clock £2500 pays for the youth café to be open on 25 evenings

ADVERTISEMENT FEATURE MANAGING YOUR LIFETIME ALLOWANCE
THE ROAD TO RETIREMENT CAN BE CONFUSING
By Mike Addison Financial adviser, NFU Mutual Thirsk If you’re looking forward to a comfortable retirement, recent changes to the total amount which can be built up in pension savings without incurring tax penalties could affect your financial plans. Since being introduced in 2006, the Lifetime Allowance (LTA) has been cut from £1.8m in 2010 to £1.25m in 2015. In April 2016, it was cut further to £1m. If you’re a long-serving employee, a senior professional, or you work for yourself and have built up a large self-invested personal pension pot, you could unwittingly find yourself in the danger zone. You could face a tax charge of 55 per cent on any lump sum taken in excess of the LTA, or 25 per cent on top of your normal rate of Income Tax if you take the pension as income. If the value of your pension benefits is approaching, or above, the LTA you should take action. You may decide to take your pension early, scale back on

high risk investments and switch to less volatile assets like bonds or cash, or even stop your contributions. If you are concerned about exceeding the £1m LTA you should seek advice on how you can apply to protect it. If you’re concerned about your liability in the future, consider how much you put into your pension and how well your investments are performing. Ask your pension provider how much you have built up in your scheme. If you’re in more than one pension scheme (excluding your state pension), you must add up how much you have in all schemes you belong to. Please remember: • The value of investments and any income from them can fall and you may get back less than you invested. • The tax treatment of pensions depends on your circumstances and may change in the future.

NEW CLEVELAND WAY WALK PROVIDES STUNNING VIEWS This Autumn a new circular walk suitable for trampers, mobility scooters and wheelchair users has opened in the North York Moors National Park providing a fantastic day of walking across the 5.3 mile long route. Much of the walk takes in stunning views from the Cleveland Way National Trail. Starting at the iconic Sutton Bank National Park Centre, renowned for ‘the finest view in England’, visitors can enjoy the outstanding views across the Vale of Mowbray to the distant Yorkshire Dales. It also takes in some of the Cliff Bike Trail so sightseers can appreciate winding and meandering through the woods and across the fields. Malcolm Hodgson, National Trails Officer for the Cleveland Way explains: “This is a great day walk which will suit some people who use a wheelchair, Mountain Trike or a mobility scooter. There is a lot of variety with the Cleveland Way escarpment and the woods at Hambleton Plantation to enjoy. It is a perfect way to enable people to have easier access to the beautiful North York Moors.”

The National Park Authority is keen to provide access to visitors of all abilities and works closely with a Disabled Access Group to see what can be done on pathways to ensure this is possible. Ian Lawson, a member for the Disabled Access Group for the North York Moors National Park said: “It’s wonderful to see this new circular walk open up at Sutton Bank providing spectacular views across the Vale of Mowbray. The stile and step free walk provides greater access for people with impaired mobility, enabling them to enjoy the special qualities of the National Park.” There are accessible toilets and refreshment facilities at the Sutton Bank National Park Centre. There is also a café at the Yorkshire Gliding Club, which is about 2 miles into the walk. This is not fully accessible, but there is seating outside to enjoy a drink and watch the gliders. The leaflet, with map and directions for the walk can be picked up at the Sutton Bank Visitor Centre or downloaded from http://www.nationaltrail. co.uk/cleveland-way/leaflets

New Studio Opening Soon in Northallerton As the opening of Holme Design’s new Northallerton kitchen studio approaches, we spoke to owners Haydn and Mel about the decision behind the new venture and their plans for the business. “We’ve always had a lot of great customers come to our Bedale showroom from Northallerton,” says Mel, “So the idea behind the new studio was simple, engage with that customer base in Northallerton so that we have a visible presence in the town. We are reducing their travel time and bringing our products and services to them. It’s a really exciting time and we are looking forward to welcoming customers new and old to the showroom. With the development work taking place in Northallerton close to our new showroom, we are anticipating large amounts of footfall and visibility to passing traffic. It’s great that we will be the only kitchen studio on the High Street. We have already received great support from customers who have seen the new studio being installed and have contacted us to say how delighted they are that we will soon be on Northallerton High Street.”
“The new premises are also ideal from a practical point of view,” adds Haydn,“We will be able to expand the product ranges we have available for customers to view and for an even greater choise we can invite customers to visit our larger Bedale showroom where they will also see our recently refurbished bathroom displays together with Karndean flooring. It will also be great as a point of liaison in the project management stages as customers who may have originally booked with us in Bedale can pop into Northallerton to have a catch up and discuss the progress of their project.” Opening in mid September and located near the lower side of the Town Hall, the new studio will feature kitchens ranges, as well as details of flooring and other interior services offered by Holme Design.

October History
Easingwold Players present:
In History:
The Battle of Hastings On October 14th, 1066, King Harold II, the last Anglo-Saxon King of England, was defeated by the Norman forces of William the Conqueror at the Battle of Hastings. According to legend, at the end of a bloody, all-day battle, Harold was shot in the eye with an arrow and killed and his forces were destroyed.

Just over two weeks earlier, William, the duke of Normandy, had invaded England, claiming his right to the English throne. According to Norman historians, Edward the Confessor, the childless English king, had promised to make his cousin William his heir. On his deathbed, however, Edward changed his mind and granted the kingdom to Harold Godwine, head of the leading noble family in England. In January 1066, King Edward died, and Harold Godwine was proclaimed King Harold II. William immediately countered his claim.

On September 28, 1066, William landed in England with approximately 7000 troops and cavalry. He seized the town of Pevensey then marched to Hastings, where he paused to organize his forces. On October 13, Harold arrived near Hastings with his army, and the next day William led his forces out to give battle. After his victory, William marched on London and received the city’s submission. On Christmas Day, 1066, he was crowned the first Norman king of England and the Anglo-Saxon phase of English history came to an end.

etchings, engravings, lithographs and screen prints to digital prints, guaranteeing a colourful and wide range of work from world renowned to lesser known printmakers. The Original Print Show is very much a ‘printmaker’s choice’ representing Ackroyd’s favourite pieces from this year’s Summer Show, with some of the most celebrated names from the art world agreeing to provide artworks, including Royal Academicians Bill Jacklin RA and Dame Elizabeth Blackadder RA. Exhibitors include: · Emma Stibbon RA · Barbara Rae CBE RA · Tom Phillips RA who will be exhibiting pages from Humument; a project that has occupied him since 1966. · Cathie Pilkington RA
Yorkshire born Norman Ackroyd, who is a Senior Royal Academician comments, “I have selected sixty or seventy of what I feel are exceptional prints from the Royal Academy Summer Show. I thoroughly enjoy bringing the diversity and energy of contemporary printmaking up to my home county of Yorkshire – and particularly to The Zillah Bell Gallery where I have been exhibiting for over twenty years.” Gallery owner John Bell adds: “We are delighted that once again Norman Ackroyd is curating this exciting show – one which gathers together work by the best of printmakers practising
today. This is an exhibition which any gallery in the UK would be proud to host.” The Original Print Show is at the Zillah Bell Gallery, Thirsk, North Yorkshire from 10 September to 22 October 2016, entry is free, for more details visit www. zillahbellgallery.co.uk

Stretch it out
Stiffness, inflexibility, aches and pains… They may seem like an inevitable part of aging, particularly if you have a desk job. But it doesn’t have to be that way.
Exercises such as pilates and yoga can really help to increase strength and flexibility. Physiotherapist and pilates instructor Sue Holmes explains, “Pilates and yoga are both fabulous exercise regimes to help increase the flexibility of your muscles. Both disciplines benefit you by actively working the muscles into an end range stretch, but yoga tends to encourage you to hold the positions for longer than pilates would. A weekly workout is a great way to enhance your joint and muscle range of movement, which would not be gained by usual day-to-day activity alone.” Key benefits of pilates and yoga include: • Improving and maintaining flexibility • Promoting better posture • Easing lower-back pain • Increasing the strength of core muscles • Improving balance and co-ordination • Reducing stress
infocus
You should be able to find a class that specifically caters for beginners, and there are also several types of yoga classes available to choose from, including ashtanga, hatha and power yoga. Do choose your instructor wisely. It can be quite easy to hurt your back when exercising, if your instructor doesn’t guide you correctly. Make sure your instructor is fully qualified and, if possible, ask current students for their opinions of the class, before you start.
Pilates and yoga can also help to realign any imbalances. We often favour one side of our body and over time this can limit our range of movement. For example, if you injure your leg, you may adjust your walk so that you’re favouring your good leg. Before long, this can become habit and lead to one side becoming weaker than the other. Pilates and yoga can alert you to these types of imbalances, and help you to correct them.
20
Pilates and yoga are suitable for most people, whatever their age or level of fitness. The focus is on low-impact, slow movements. You’ll need comfortable clothing that allows you to move easily, and an exercise mat. Other equipment, such as a pilates ball, will usually be provided by the instructor, although you may want to invest in one to practice on at home.
Don’t be put off by the images of size 10 twenty-somethings pulling impossible looking moves. You’ll find all ages, shapes and abilities in a class, and you won’t be expected to tie yourself in knots or push yourself past the point you’re comfortable with. Most people are far too busy trying to figure their own stretches out – they’re not interested in whether you have perfected your downward dog or not. By Kate Duggan

Checklist to keep your garden looking great this Autumn
Planting & Transporting work Autumn is a really good time for transplanting work because the soil has sufficient moisture thanks to regular rain showers. The ground is still warm from the summer, therefore the plants still have enough time to get used to their new position and form new roots. This means new plants can also be planted in the autumn with no need to worry. This is the last chance before the winter to bring a bit of colour into the garden. Roses, for example, should be planted ideally in Autumn, before the first ground frost.
24
infocus
Planting bulbs Bulbs can also be planted in autumn so their flowers germinate from the soil at the right time in spring to delight you with their blaze of colour. The right position is crucial for the heralders of spring to thrive and flower. Most like fresh, moist soil in spring, but during their dormant period in summer the soil can be dry and porous. Bulbs should be planted in the ground at a depth of two to three times their height. The GARDENA bulb planter provides an easy way of making a sufficiently large and deep hole. You then place the bulbs in the ground with their tip facing upwards, cover them with the soil from the
planter, and press down. Cutting herbaceous perennials, bushes and shrubs When shrubs go yellow, their stems bend towards the ground or they start to go to seed, it is time to cut them down. This is because the plants are now drawing their sap back to their roots. If they are not cut down, they may decay. Bushes and shrubs can be cut to approximately a quarter of their size. This can, however, vary according to the type of bush or shrub. You can usually find more information about this from plant labels or your local garden centre.

For a stroke of luck:
Stroke a black cat! Blue Cross takes in more black and black and white cats than any other colour combination and sadly they seem to be the most overlooked and are homeless for longer than other colours like ginger, tabby and tortoiseshell. It may be that black cats are not as visible in their cattery, especially if they are a bit shy. There are also lots of superstitions around black cats and their association with witches – especially at this time of year! Cats are considered both lucky and unlucky, depending on where you come from. Common myths about black cats include: • It is good luck if a black cat crosses your path in the UK and Japan, but in
the US and much of Europe it means bad luck is on the way • In Germany it depends which direction a black cat walks in front of you. Left to right means good times ahead, but walking the other direction means the opposite • Italians believe that if a black cat jumps on the bed next to a sick person, the person will soon die • If a black cat appears on your doorstep in Scotland it means you’re coming into money • In China, some believe black cats to be bringers of poverty At Blue Cross we just think black cats are beautiful and just as affectionate and loving as other coloured cats.
Protect your pet from firework fears With autumn nights soon drawing in we often talk to pet owners whose cats or dogs are terrified of the flashes and bangs fireworks celebrations bring. If your pet gets worried around this time of year check our advice at www.bluecross.org.uk or pop into the centre for a free leaflet. If you would like to find out more about Blue Cross in Thirsk, have an hour or two to volunteer at the centre or would like to make a donation to the charity’s work please contact the centre on 0300 777 1540, email thirsk@bluecross.org.uk, or join us on Facebook. .......................................................................................... .........................

A Good Read
The
Yorkshire Sky
Rosetta space craft scheduled for landing on to Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko on 30th Sept The Rosetta mission is a European Space Agency project which was launched in March 2004. In August 2014 Rosetta became the first spacecraft to orbit a comet, and in November 2014, Rosetta dropped its lander named Philae onto the surface of the comet. During this time Philae has made intermittent contact with Rosetta which has continued to orbit the comet. The collected information has then been relayed by Rosetta to Earth.
Rosetta approaching Comet 67P/ChuryumovGerasimenko (Image courtesy of European Space Agency)
The comet, Rosetta and Philae orbited the Sun in August 2015 and are now approaching Jupiter on their way towards the outer solar system. This has resulted in significantly reduced solar power required to operate the craft and its instruments. For technical reasons Philae has stopped making contact with Rosetta which is scheduled to end its historic mission by landing onto the comet’s surface after having completed 80% of the mission’s scientific undertakings. During the descent Rosetta will make many final measurements including very high resolution imaging which will give valuable close up data of the surface of the comet. Once the orbiter reaches the surface, communications will cease bringing the mission to an end. For detailed information: http://www.esa.int/Our_Activities/ Space_Science/Rosetta

European spacecraft to reach Mars in October
The first mission of the ExoMars programme, is scheduled to arrive at Mars in October 2016, and consists of a Trace Gas Orbiter plus an entry, descent and landing demonstrator module, known as Schiaparelli. The main objectives of this mission are to search for evidence of methane and other trace atmospheric gases that could be signatures of active biological or geological processes and to test key technologies in preparation for ESA’s contribution to subsequent missions to Mars.

Goosebumps: Be careful what you wish for n RL Stine
Going with the Halloween theme for the children we have a classic Goosebumps book. Samantha is a bit of a klutz: she trips over, drops things, and despite being tall, can’t manage to shoot on the school’s basketball team. As if that weren’t enough she is picked on by the popular star of the basketball team, Judith. One day Samantha decides that she has had enough and a chance meeting with a strange little woman in the rain gives her the opportunity to get her revenge. Granted three wishes in return for helping the woman Samantha thinks she knows exactly what she wants to wish for. But, as the title says, she learns that you do indeed need to be careful what you wish for as the outcome may not be exactly what you imagined it to be. A great scary read for pre-teen readers this is another instalment of the successful Goosebumps series. The chapters are short with plenty of cliff hangers to keep you reading and a spooky ending that reveals revenge can never be sweet.
The Man in the Picture n Susan Hill
Susan Hill is best known as the author of Woman in Black and this short novel is in a similar vein. It certainly is short, at just 145 pages, and this makes it a perfect story to occupy a dark evening approaching Halloween. Oliver is a Cambridge graduate who is returning to his old college to visit his old professor, Theo Parmitter. The professor is well into his eighties but still attracts the attention of his old students and the younger fellows at the university. There is just something about him. It is during this visit, sitting in the old man’s college rooms on a dark January night with a fire burning in the grate that Oliver hears a story that will irrevocably change his life. In addition to teaching at the university, Dr Parmitter spent his younger years as an art collector, travelling auction rooms buying known and unknown works. It is on one of these trips that he encounters a mysterious painting of a Venetian carnival, complete with gondoliers and revellers in costume and masks. As soon as he sees it he knows that he must have it. After winning the auction he is approached by a man who insists that he must have the painting and tells Theo to name his

price. He turns down the offer and the painting enters his life forever. A chance photograph of the professor in a newspaper brings a mysterious old widow into the story. It is from the widow that Dr Parmitter learns the full horror of the painting: a painting with the power to trap and horrify you. For this is no ordinary painting and Theo will find himself drawn into the story told within it, as others have in the past. Who is the man in the picture and why is he screaming and pleading with the viewer? Like Woman in Black this story is told in the first-person as Oliver learns about the painting. The narrator switches during the novel to allow us to hear directly from the professor and the Countess. Using the story-withina-story device, allows the narrative to unfold at a leisurely pace but one which still drives the reader on to learn more. The true horror is revealed at the end and it is guaranteed to leave you wanting more, with so many questions still unanswered.
