elcome to November, the month of sparklers, toffee apples – and conkers!

Has anyone else noticed the lack of the shiny, brown ‘fruit’, encased in a spikey green husk this autumn? Apparently this year’s crop has been disappointing due to unfavourable weather back in the spring. Yet, when taking the dogs for a walk around our village, the hedges are full of rosehips and crab apples! What does mean? Does it herald a harsh winter ahead? We’ll have to wait and see.

Here at the Handy Mag office, we’ve been working hard to fit in lots of forthcoming events. Now the clocks have gone back, life should be slowing down – not so! It’s a busy month, with Bonfire Night, Remembrance Sunday and the steady build-up to Christmas.

If you like the odd tipple now and then, visit the Milton Rooms on 19th November for the Derventio Wines Annual Charity Tasting Event. See page 51 for details.

Elim Church celebrates its centenary this year and you can read all about this amazing anniversary in our centre pages.

And we can’t mention November without referring to rockets, Catherine wheels and sparklers!

We all enjoy warming ourselves against the chill night air at Bonfire Night celebrations, but if you’ve got a pet or two, then you’ll know they can get very nervous at this time of year. So turn to page 76 where local vet Lucy Nowell about what to do with your petrified pooches and ‘scaredy’ cats.

Don’t forget we have our social media presence with Facebook and Twitter, so ‘Like’ us or ‘Follow’ us and keep up to date with what’s happening in the in the Ryedale area and in the Handy Mag office!

We hope you enjoy this month’s edition and don’t forget our December edition deadline on 3rd November.

Congratulations to Mrs Lumley of Norton for winning our last competition. Your prize is on the way!

Until next month …

The cold and icy conditions mean it’s not just you that needs an extra layer or two of protection.

To ensure you and your family stay safe on the roads this winter we’ve designed our Winter Safety Check to provide that extra protection.

If Helmsley wins, not only will they get a share of prize pot worth £80,000, but they’ll win expert training and tailor-made tips from Google’s training taskforce – the Digital Garage on Tour – for one hundred of their shops, bars and restaurants.

High Streets Minister Marcus Jones said: “We had a record amount of entries to this year’s competition – testament to the brilliant work being done to boost Britain’s high streets.

The Great British High Street Competition 2015 is now in its second year and is one of a number of initiatives to help champion high streets as the cornerstones of the community.

The first Great British High Street competition last year saw 135 communities battle it out to be crowned the nation’s best. Belper in Derbyshire, first overall winner, found that winning not only boosted town pride, but also had a tangible economic impact with retailers reporting increased footfall.

Local business owner Carolyn Frank, who led Helmsley in Business’ entry for the competition

hopes that will happen for Helmsley too. “We’re all over the moon! We’re so proud of Helmsley being officially recognised as one of Britain’s best market towns. We’ve long known it, but now everyone else can do too!

“Obviously we’d be delighted to win, and with the prizes including advice for 100 businesses, we’d even be able to work with other towns and villages in the area. We’re going to be pulling out all the stops to make sure local people know about Helmsley being a finalist, as we need everyone to show their support and get voting. We can’t do it without you! So if you love Helmsley – as a visitor or resident – please do vote for us! And if we do win we hope everyone will be on standby for some big celebrations!”

Alongside the public’s votes shortlisted towns have also been inspected by the Future High Streets Forum judging panel – made up of industry leaders from across retail, property and business.

To go online to cast your vote, visit the Great British High Street website (http:// thegreatbritishhighstreet.co.uk/) and follow @TheGBHighSt on Twitter. Voting closes in November.

Lynne and Edward, owners of Hearth & Stove, explain why it’s a good time of year to think about installing a stove in your home: “We offer a free site survey, so you can choose which type of stove would be best for your home.

“We stock Parkray, Burley, Heta, Dru, Dik Guerts, Nordpeis, Hunter, Termatech, Pevex, Westfire, Jydepejsen and Trianco just to name some of the brands available to us., all well-known brands, which mean the stoves are versatile and can fit into most homes, even without a chimney.”

Hearth & Stove are also HETAS

registered, giving customers peace of mind that their installations comply with all current regulations.

Lynne continued: “We also offer a full after-sales package, including servicing.”

While considering which stove is perfect for your home, you will also be inspired by the delightful range of fireside accessories and gifts, which will brighten any shelf, mantelpiece or hearth.

Hearth & Stove have their welcoming showroom at 13 Market Place, Malton, overlooking the lovely market place and with 2 hours free parking close by. And with their new raised display area for their stock, you will clearly see why Hearth & Stove should be first on your list for heating your home this winter.

December 6th as the HandyMag’s November issue went to press.

It has regularly been held in Malton Methodist Church where the choir is based. However because of unexpected structural work at the church a replacement venue was being sought in early October.

“We are confident the concert will go ahead in Malton even though we’re not sure where at the moment”, said choir Chairman Tom Todd. “We hope to be able to announce an alternative venue before not too long”.

On Christmas Eve this year the choir entertains guests and visitors for the second year running in Malton’s prestigious Talbot Hotel. A programme of carols and Christmas music is planned.

Malton District MVC is a friendly and informal group and welcomes new members of all ages.

MALTON MALE CHOIR HEADS FOR THE SEA-SIDE

Call Secretary David Ackroyd on 01944 758693 or Chairman Tom Todd on 01653 692362.

M

alton District Male Voice Choir is off to the sea-side again this autumn to perform in a music festival in Bridlington before getting on song for a Christmas concert in Malton and a Christmas Eve appearance at Malton’s celebrated Talbot Hotel.

The choir is in Bridlington on November 7th for its second appearance at Bridlington East Coast Churches and Community Music Festival after first attending last year. It will join Bridlington Girls’ Choir, Castleford Male Voice Praise, Hull and Withernsea ladies choirs and the Wolds Valley Voices, among others.

It is the third time the Malton choir has taken part in a major joint coastal event. It also sang at a National Association of Choirs concert in Scarborough last year, helping raise more than £2,600 for charity.

As this issue of the HandyMag went to press the choir was preparing for its first concert in Cropton, adding another local village to the many it has perfomed in since it was founded in 2007.

There was some uncertainty about the venue for the choir’s upcoming annual Christmas Concert on 24 • info@thehandymag.co.uk

Cloudy2Clear Windows – Service With A Smile!

It’s been a crazy few months for Cloudy2Clear Windows. The company which specialises in repairing windows which are steamed up, broken or damaged by replacing the panes – not the frames has grown rapidly as homeowners take advantage of their services.

Managing Director Paul McGeechan feels that it’s all about service.

‘Our product is simple.

If your double glazing is 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 5 year guarantee. But it’s not just about saving

people money, although that obviously helps.

Many tradespeople have struggled since last year and I honestly feel that during the good times a minority perhaps didn’t focus on customer care as much as they should have done. 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. I often get comments back from customers on how they really didn’t expect that sort of service which, in a way, is very sad for the service industry as a whole.’

Cloudy2Clear service the Malton, Norton, Kirkbymoorside, Pickering & Helmsley

areas and Paul is finding that his 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.’

So, if your windows are steamed up, broken or damaged give Paul a call for a free quotation on 0800 61 21 118 and he’ll be happy to help!

KIRKBYMOORSIDE ENVIRONMENT GROUP

IN PRAISE OF THE CHRISTMAS MARKET Over the past few years there has been a growing interest in the continental style Christmas markets with many travel companies offering special ‘package deals’ to visit the various markets in northern Europe and people are planning their winter breaks around a trip to these markets and coming back with cars laden with potential Christmas presents.

These imported Christmas markets have even started appearing in towns and cities across the UK, the organisers have obviously spotted an untapped business opportunity, but perhaps in this headlong rush to embrace the continental tradition we are in danger of missing something.

The markets are popular because as we head in the depths of winter they offer a lively and colourful atmosphere with lots of local food and drink and craft stalls full of interesting Christmas present ideas. again with a stall full of interesting and unusual gift ideas, all produced by our volunteers with profits going back into community organisations.

This year we will have several new and unique gift ideas including bottles of Spiced Apple Cup, and our newly grafted local heritage fruit trees, each with its own personal family history. Also new this year we have some ‘cocktails and cordials’ gift boxes featuring our unique fruit cordials with accompanying cocktail recipes developed specially for us by an award winning mixologist.

Our gifts are always popular and we have a very limited supply so make sure you get there early!

The markets are popular because as we head in the depths of winter they offer a lively and colourful atmosphere with lots of local food and drink and craft stalls full of interesting Christmas present ideas.

But there is no need to go to all the expense of travelling to northern Europe for a Christmas market, many local communities in this country are now staging their own colourful Christmas markets featuring locally produced food and drink, often from small artisanal producers, and providing an opportunity to view and buy unique gifts from local small scale craft producers.

Kirkbymoorside Christmas market began in 2010 to showcase the wide variety of high quality products available locally and is now an established part of the calendar. This year it will be held on Saturday 28th November from 11am – 3pm.

There will be a brass band, reindeer, Christmas lights, lots of colourful stalls and of course Santa will be there. The Kirkby Fruit Project will be there 28 • info@thehandymag.co.uk

IT’S THE FINAL COUNTDOWN TO CHRISTMAS

Tickets now on sale for the last ever NSPCC Christmas Fair at Castle Howard

T

ickets are now on sale for the fifteenth and final NSPCC Christmas Fair at Castle Howard. The NSPCC Christmas Fair committee looks forward to welcoming shoppers this year for their last ever chance to experience this exciting event at its long-running home of Castle Howard on 5th, 6th and 7th November 2015. The Fair will move to Duncombe Park near Helmsley for 2016.

Following the enormous success of 2014 when the NSPCC raised £55,000 from a new extended three-day format, the Fair will again benefit from an extra day’s

opening to attract the Saturday shoppers. This year, the NSPCC Christmas Fair will open as usual with a VIP preview evening on Thursday 5th November from 5pm to 9pm. Numbers are strictly limited for this ‘party and shopping’ experience so advance booking is essential with tickets selling out fast. The Fair will then continue during the day of Friday 6th and Saturday 7th November from 9.30am to 4pm.

Tickets for the preview evening are £15 to include canapés and a glass of wine and the chance to spend an evening socialising and shopping in an impressive stately home setting. Day tickets cost just £8, can be bought on the door or on-line at www. nspcccastlehowardchristmasfair. co.uk and include entry to the gardens and playground with children under 13 free of charge.

have so far nearly raised for the NSPCC since we moved from The Orangery at Settrington to Castle Howard 15 years ago,” says Harriette Murray Wells, joint chairman of the NSPCC Castle Howard Christmas Fair Committee. “We shall be very sad to say goodbye to Castle Howard and the Howard family who have tirelessly supported us over the last 15 years but we’re already hugely excited about our new home for next year’s Fair.

“We urge shoppers to get ahead with their Christmas gift search, lose yourself in the Christmas spirit and browse our carefully handpicked selection of 70 stalls.

Half of our stalls are new to the Fair so there’s plenty of reason for shoppers to come back year after year for inspired ideas, in a relaxed and stunning location of a beautiful stately home.”

The 70 stalls are carefully selected over the course of the year and this year the Fair will benefit from even more stalls as the food and drink section is significantly increased with the addition of a specially erected, heated marquee adjoining the Grecian Room.

Around 40% of this year’s stalls are local independent retailers, and include new categories such as Christmas decorations and more kitchenware. In addition, gifts on offer include toys, books, jewellery, gardening, fashion, homeware, and gentlemens’ accessories.

Income from ticket sales, sponsors and donations, raffle tickets and 10% of each stall holders’ takings go direct to the charity. Money raised at the NSPCC Christmas Fair goes towards the NSPCC’s vital services for children, young people and families in the region.

WILL YOU LEAVE YOUR KIDS A MASSIVE TAX BILL WHEN YOU DIE?

ADVERTISEMENT FEATURE

£4BILLION PAID OUT UNNECESSARILY EVERY YEAR More than £4 billion is collected by the Tax Man every year in Inheritance Tax (IHT).

There’s been some form of death duty in the UK for thousands of years.

The general idea is that this kind of tax attempts to redistribute wealth stopping the rich from getting richer and the poor from getting poorer.

The theory is that some of the money goes to the state and gets distributed for the benefit of all.

THE MECHANICS Everyone gets an allowance they don’t pay IHT on. The current allowance is £325,000.

This means if your house, car, cash, savings and investments – everything you own on death – are worth less than £325,000 when you die, there’ll be no tax to pay. Anything above that limit is taxed at 40%. This means that if you are worth, say, £600,000 when you die, your heirs will get a tax bill

of £110,000.

From 2021, an additional £175,000 allowance is available for those passing on family homes to direct descendants.

FREE CLAIM YOUR COPY NOW

TAX COMES FIRST The tax generally has to be paid within 6 months of death – before your heirs can even inherit their share.

CONTROVERSIAL People have widely differing views on Inheritance Tax. Some agree that it is fair to redistribute wealth on death. Others think that what they have accumulated through their own hard work should go to their family and not the tax man. Particularly when they think the Government wastes taxpayers money on ill-fated schemes and endless quangos and jobs for the boys.

Whatever your views, IHT could clearly have a huge impact on your family’s future. After all, if you’ve been smart with money all your life you might not

Legal ways to reduce your IHT

EXCLUSIVE READER want to lose a chunk of it when you die. If so, you need to arm yourself with the facts before you can make sensible decisions.

A VOLUNTARY TAX The late Roy Jenkins, MP, said Inheritance Tax is a voluntary levy paid by those who distrust their heirs more than they dislike the Inland Revenue. That’s because there are things you can do to soften the blow for your family or

even avoid IHT altogether.

EASY TO READ GUIDE The most important thing is to figure out if you’ve got a problem and if you want to do anything about it.

WINTER WARMERS FOR YOUR FEET

A

s the weather turns colder and the nights draw in, it’s time to wrap up against the elements and this applies to your feet too.

With boot-wearing season now upon us, pamper your feet both outdoors and indoors so they are healthy for autumn and winter. Stuart Moore Foot Health Practitioner has some advice for autumn and winter foot care: “When out and about in the cold wind and rain, wear your boots or Wellingtons to keep your feet warm and dry. And you can get fashionable yet practical footwear, so you don’t need to compromise on style and looked-after feet.

“Once at home, have a pair of warm slippers at the ready to slip your feet into to help keep your feet in good ‘working order. There’s nothing more miserable than having cold feet.

“To boost foot health, I offer quality foot care that is suitable for the cold weather season.”

Stuart has covered the Scarborough and Ryedale district since 2010 and knows the value of looking after your feet at any time of year, but particularly in autumn and winter.

REMEMBERING

IN RYEDALE

When the guns fell silent at 11am on the 11th November 1918, it signalled the end of the Great War, 1914 to 1918.

Six hours before, the Armistice had been signed in a railway carriage in the Forest of Compiegne, France. This meant there would be peace in Europe following some of the bloodiest battles in history.

In 1919, King George V sent out a proclamation requesting a two minute silence be observed at war memorials and at other public places at 11am on the eleventh day of the eleventh month, and on the second Sunday in November.

Following the end of the Second World War, Armistice Day became known as Remembrance Day: a day which we would remember the fallen of the two World Wars and other conflicts.

Specsavers are giving away jackets in conjunction with Road Safety Week, an annual initiative by the road safety charity Brake. Specsavers opticians has campaigned in the past decade to highlight the link between vision and road safety.

Road Safety Week is now in its 19th year and this year’s message is ‘drive less, live more’. Brake will be asking families to consider how they use roads, and if they can ditch some vehicle mileage, and instead walk, cycle or use public transport as much as possible. Road crashes are the biggest cause of death among young people, so raising awareness of road safety and creating safe spaces for sustainable and active travel is vital.

“At Specsavers we urge everyone to have their eyes tested regularly,” says Josie, “Especially drivers and those using the roads regularly.”

KEEPING CHILDREN SAFE

With the clocks going back and the arrival of dark mornings and long evenings we want to make sure children are visible when they are being escorted by parents on the way from school, clubs and activities. The initiative highlights the importance of eyesight in staying safe on the roads.”

Now celebrating 20 years of trading, the Pine Shop showrooms include three floors set in a historic farm wheelhouse and granary.

From candles to coffee tables and from wine racks to wardrobes, owner Carol Mercer thoughtfully places furniture and accessories in her showrooms from a selection of suppliers, coupled with the ability to order many other designs from furniture makers based in the UK and beyond.

Carol explains: “The quality and pricing of our products will suit most budgets, and our range of stock includes smaller items such as greeting cards up to dining sets and a variety bed steads.

“Our style is a mix of traditionally timeless items

with a contemporary twist, with a country theme to most of our products.

“We can advise on how to achieve a certain look in your home too, so if you browse our showrooms yet unsure as to how to start, we can help.”

From a practical yet stylish office space to a delightful dining suite, from a kitchen table to a living room side boar, whatever your furniture style – distressed, traditional, reclaimed or contemporary, painted or waxed - there will be a pine or oak piece that will suite your own style and budget and that will enhance any home.

The Pine shop is open from 10am six days a week.

OUR HERITAGE

100 years ago, in County Monaghan, Ireland, the Elim Pentecostal Church was founded. They were Christians who believed the Bible and trusted in the God who loves everyone. The name Elim was taken from an account in the Bible where the Nation of Israel found refreshing as they fled to freedom. Many new churches were planted and began to grow rapidly in the UK. The church in Ryedale, known as Elim Ryedale Church, began in 1935 and 80 years later continues to be a place where many find refreshing, freedom and hope.

We have facilities for all ages including: babies, children and young people.

At Hope Central at 7 pm on Sunday evenings we run our Coffee House Church; informal church where topics are discussed, friendships are built while chatting over coffee and cake. The relaxed format gives time to question, think and interact with each week’s theme.

HOPE CENTRAL

It houses a great Coffee House which is open to the public and also hosts Ablaze Youth for 11-16 year olds, G-Force for 7-11 year olds, Stepping Stones for Parents and Tots, Quiz Nights and Music Events as well as vital support services such as Hope Debt Advice and Ryedale Foodbank.

HELMSLEY DECORATIVE & FINE ARTS SOCIETY 2 NOVEMBER Lecture - The Role of the Arts in the Cycle of Crime, Prison and Re-offending

by Angela Findlay

Angela Findlay has a BA in Fine Art and a Diploma in Artistic Therapy. She has spent years working as an artist within the Criminal Justice System in England and Germany gaining unique insights into the destructive and costly cycle of crime, prisons and re-offending.

Through extraordinary slides

of prisoners’ art, interspersed with personal stories from art projects, she demonstrates how within the process of creating art there are vital opportunities for offenders to develop key life skills. In the context of prisons it is clear that the arts are not simply decorative or commercial pastimes, but absolutely vital, hugely relevant and potentially life-changing. Her talk is moving, informative and original and has kept audiences across the country engrossed.

Top Tips from a dental professional

ORTHODONTICS PART 1

T

he dental development of your child goes through 3 phases the Primary,

by Christine Parker Mixed and Permanent BDS (GDC 72136) Dentition. Most parents seek our advice when their children are in the mixed dentition (ages 6- 13).

Most parental concern is that the teeth look ‘too big’, are twisted, crowded, have spaces or are darker in colour. Firstly teeth often look too large as they start getting the bigger adult teeth from age 6, however they still have their small child’s face. One of the problems for the orthodontist is that your childs face can continue to mature and grow into their late teens, what may appear as a rather crowded mouth at 9 may be perfectly aligned all by itself at 18.

When space is short the tooth may twist so it can come through into the available space, again even quite severe twisting can improve as the space available increases. The same applies to gaps.

The permanent teeth usually look darker and rougher in texture than the baby teeth, the front teeth may have quite bumpy edges, these are called Mammelons, they tend to wear down as we age. No amount of brushing will make the teeth lighter than their natural shade.

If you think your child isn’t brushing properly get them to use disclosing tablets , these will stain any plaque purple or pink and demonstrate where to brush more.

Where your dentist suspects a tooth may be missing or out of position they may take an X ray this will usually show if the tooth is present. Where they feel an orthodontic opinion is required they will refer to the local orthodontic clinic.

If your child does require orthodontic treatment it is very important that their cleaning is excellent as they can develop cavities and stains on their teeth under the braces. Most orthodontists will not start treatment unless there are no new cavities and the teeth are very clean.

Looking At Your Garden And Thinking, “What Next”?

R

ichard Keast from Astek Garden Design & Build, near York, explains some basic rules to help design your perfect outdoor space: “Your garden space is usually a large part of your home, even if it’s a small area. So making good decisions as to how you can develop your garden so it fits your lifestyle and create a link to your home will make it a much better place to spend time in.

“Planning how your garden could look is an intelligent way to make decisions without spending money building something that doesn’t work as effectively as it could.

link to your house. Stand at your main rear windows, and pick out some areas in which a focal point would be beneficial from inside, as well as outside.

If your garden is an average sized family garden, I would suggest that two thirds of the whole space should be lawn – too many hard materials can appear commercial and unbalanced. This leaves one third for planting, along with entertaining areas, structure and features to create a balanced garden that flows and looks good.

“The orientation of your garden also defines where certain elements can be placed. It makes life harder when constructing that natural pond in full sun, or when planting that lovely Acer Griseum in a place that will shade your main patio all day. Plant choice is often decided around locations and desired effects, and there is a plant for every occasion.

“Next it is essential to create that link between your house, and the macro landscape that surrounds it. For example, a cottage style garden won’t fit with an ultramodern new build. Creating a link with materials and style will help your property to flow from within.

GARDENING Gnome Down!

I doubt he saw it coming. A headshot like that was never going to be surviveable and was the mark of an expert.

many gardens… and three countries!

We first became acquainted when I spotted him perched in a Belgian antique shop, dangling his little fishing rod in a futile but pathetically endearing manner – and I was to be his catch of the day! I bought him on a whim as I was ‘between gardens’ at the time and wanted something that didn’t need watering but had an obvious horticultural link.

So, I paid my francs and I stuck him under my arm and took him home. At that time home was an RAF Officers Mess in Germany where he endured a poissonfree existence, much to the amusement of my colleagues. We

There were no witnesses to this heinous slaughter of an innocent mini fisherman and, to date, I appear to be the only mourner.

Chief suspects are a pack of children (names and addresses can be supplied!) last seen in his ‘patch’ a few weeks ago whilst in the possession of a very dangerous looking football.

He stood no chance against their well-aimed shots and my piscatorial gardening friend’s sad demise marks the end of a two decade partnership that spanned

both survived in our various ways, his main threat coming from over exuburant kidnapping attempts and mine from the constant, and probably understandable, ribbing.

It was during this time that he unfortunately lost his ‘tackle’ – at a very memorable black tie dinner where he was sneaked in as our Squadron guest. Apparently, his little rod and plastic fish was last seen in a very surprised diner’s prawn cocktail, much to the hilarity of my fellow officers… ha ha.

So, rodless and looking even shabbier than the shabbiest bit of shabby chic you could ever imagine, he finally made it back to Blighty and the peace and tranquility of a garden – albeit with no pond to dangle his imaginary tackle into. I did consider rearming him with a substitute but I’d got to quite like his strange

little grasping hands which were, quite literally, clutching at straws.

He never seemed to mind his lack of the tools of his trade but, by way of compensation, I gave him the choicest spot in the garden where his immediate bedfellows were such beauties as hardy orchids and Trilliums.

In fact it was only when checking on these yesterday that I discovered his mortal remains where the perpetrators (yes I know it was you Ollie and Theo!) had left him – broken and forgotten.

Having just spent the previous few hours doing gardening chores, I was feeling less than enamoured with my lot anyway.

As treacherous as it might sound, I’ve never been a great garden tidier and find such activities as mowing, weeding and routine digging really boring. Give me

designing, scheming, planting and I’m happy as Larry, but a day spent weeding drives me potty – which is probably why I need such perverse distractions as garden mini people to keep me occupied when I’m doing the essential bits that I don’t enjoy!

To cap it all, I was attacked by a wasp who managed to stick me in the neck as I was pulling up some Dandelions – not a great day in the life of this gardener who had just lost a trusty old (plaster) friend in such tragic circumstances.

I don’t think I’ll ever be able to go fishing ever again…!

HAVE YOU STARTED YOUR CHRISTMAS SHOPPING YET....?

Ryedale Dog Rescue have lots of events coming up where you can buy lots of fabulous Christmas gifts with all proceeds going to help us save more dogs lives. Our popular Ryedale Dog Rescue Calendar, featuring some of the dogs we rescued this year who found loving new homes, will also be on sale for £6 so get yours before we run out!

DOG OF THE MONTH: ARCHIE This is the gorgeous Archie.

He is seven years old and likes playing with tennis balls but won’t always give you them back! He loves to chase his tail and crows too – Who doesn’t like a game that never ends? He is scared of thunder and loud bangs and likes to sleeps all curled up in a little ball. He does have slight arthritis in his hips, but nothing that slows him down or stops him enjoying a good walk just maybe not for hours on end. He is a very affectionate special lad who loves to sleep in front of the fire and would like a quiet home to live out his days with someone to love him.

Can you spare an hour a week or month to volunteer with us? - We are very busy with lots of fundraising events coming up in the lead up to Christmas and we need some new faces to join our friendly team - Call us on 07581 324153 if you would like to help us - We’d love to hear from you!

COMING EVENTS - PLEASE HAVE A LOOK AT THE HANDY MAG EVENTS PAGES FOR OUR FUTURE EVENTS. For further information on Ryedale Dog Rescue please visit our website www.ryedaledogrescue.com or you can contact us on 07581 324153 (Please remember we are a charity run entirely by unpaid volunteers, most of whom work full-time, so please be patient and we will return your call as soon as possible. Thank you)

Skylar is a lovely, bubbly girl who is very active so will require lots of long walks to keep her happy. She has had an unstable start in life, so still has a few things to learn, an active and understanding family would be great. She could live with older children and possibly another dog after a successful introduction.

Bud is a very sweet boy who gives everyone lots of kisses!

He loves attention and is very affectionate. He can be quite bouncy so older children would be ideal for him. He is not so keen on other animals so would need to be the only pet in the home.

MY PET IS TERRIFIED OF FIREWORKS, WHAT CAN I DO? Lucy Nowell BA VetMB MRCVS Station House Vets

The firework season is almost on us again. Whilst it might be exciting for some, it can present a real worry for pet owners – a recent study showed almost half of all dogs in the U.K. show some level of fearful response to loud noises. However, with a little advanced planning there a number of things you can do to help.

WHAT TO DO NOW:

• Take refuge! Prepare a refuge area or hiding place for your pet to go to during the fireworks. You can encourage your dog to use it by placing treats there.

• Cats will usually find their own hiding places but you might want to keep them confined to the house prior to the event and will need to provide a litter tray.

• There are a number of safe natural products available from your vet that will help keep your cat or dog feel more relaxed. ‘Feliway’® and ‘Adaptil’ ® diffusers are plug in devices that release a synthetic analogue of a pheromone into the home environment which has a calming effect on your cat and dog respectively.

Pheromones are released by nursing bitches to comfort her pups and by the cat when they ‘scent gland’ prominent objects. There is also a collar which releases pheromones available for dogs which can be worn continuously for 1 month.

• Zylkene® is a supplement available to sprinkle on food for cats and dogs and again helps them to feel calm, this can be used for all sorts of stressful situations.

76 • info@thehandymag.co.uk

• These products should be started before the event and continued during the fireworks season.

• ‘Thunder ‘ shirts work for some animals, this is basically a tight fitting t-shirt which act as a sort of cuddle – the closeness of the material can provide comfort.

ON THE DAY OF THE EVENT:

• Engage your dog in energetic exercise during the day to tire him out, but otherwise try to stick to your usual routine.

• Keep your cat in the house and make sure all escape routes are blocked.

• Draw the curtains in the room/s the animals may retreat to and turn on some music with a lot of constant drum beats or turn the television up.

• If your cat has chosen to hide, leave it well alone until it

feels safe to come out, and perhaps leave the lights off in the room it has chosen to hide in.

• Stay calm yourself and avoid fussing over your pets excessively, attempts to reassure or punishing your pet will only reinforce the behaviour as it suggests there was something to be afraid of.

• Allow dogs free access to its preferred refuge but otherwise try to be in the same room and act normally, engaged in some sort of activity, apparently ignoring the noise. Keep some toys handy to play with your dog as a distraction.

• Horses or ponies should be brought in if possible. Each year we see one or two animals who have panicked by fireworks and injured themselves.

Bonfire Night

By The Pastoral Poet A steward of the fest proclaims, “Time to start!” Then lights the fire.

Skyward leap the crackling flames, Licking, reaching ever higher.

Children gaze in wide-eyed wonder, Catherine wheels are in a spin.

Patch the dog, has slithered under Bedclothes to escape the din.

A ragged trilby hatted Guy, Is soon engulfed in orange flame.

The crowd emits a mocking cry.

All part and parcel of the game.

Rockets grave the blackboard sky, Then fire a fearsome fusillade.

Harsh on ear, but kind on eye, As soothing, coloured stars cascade.

Wine and ale for early starters, Baked potatoes, home made soup.

Sandwiches and chipolatas, Welcomed by the gleeful group.

After fudge and sticky toffee, The dour collective gamely sups Undecided tea and coffee, Served in polystyrene cups.

A GOOD READ

By Willow Coby

Me Before You By Jojo Moyes If you prefer to read a book before seeing the film adaptation then this is your chance to discover one of next summer’s highly anticipated films.

26 year old Lou Clark still lives with her parents in the quiet market town she grew up in.

Almost deserted in the winter the town’s one draw is an old castle and when we meet Lou she works in the local tea shop serving the coach loads of tourists who come to visit. With a quirky dress sense Lou never really feels as if she fits in and as a teenager longed to travel the world. However circumstances meant that she could never bring herself to leave. After losing her job she reluctantly takes a job caring for Will, a young quadriplegic man injured in a motorcycle accident several years earlier. She is told the job is just for 6 months and despite a rough start she decides to stick it out and soon an unlikely bond develops between Lou and Will.

A romantic novel this also deals with the sensitive issue of disability and the descriptions of Will’s day to day life are well written with brutal honesty and little sensationalism. Things take a darker turn when Lou learns the reason why her contract is only to be for 6 months and she sets out to bring Will new experiences and remind him of the simple joys of life: not easy for a wheelchair bound man whose ideal way to pass the time before his accident was skydiving or climbing Mount Kilimanjaro.

As a reader you are drawn into the lives of these characters and the development of their relationship is believable. In the hands of the wrong writer this plot line could turn out to be very twee and cliché but Moyes does not fall into this trap. The resulting novel is engaging, difficult to put down and will lead you to appreciate the small wonders of life.

The Fault in Our Stars by

By John Green

Continuing with the theme of personal relationships in the face of illness comes The Fault in Our Stars the hugely successful teen novel exploring the impact of teenage cancer on the lives of two individuals.

16 year old Hazel has cancer and is, reluctantly, convinced by her parents to attend a support group for others in her situation.

Amongst the other patients there is Augustus, a 17 year old boy who lost a leg to cancer. The two begin talking and agree to read each other’s favourite books. Hazel’s book is a novel by a Dutch writer about a young girl with cancer: Hazel sees many parallels to her own life here. Augustus is angry after reading the book and discovering that it doesn’t have a nicely wrapped up ending. There is no conclusion, no neat package, no ending: happy or otherwise.

Of course life has an ending, but it often isn’t happy or neatly wrapped up. Hazel becomes aware of her fears about getting close to others. She is afraid that when she dies it will hurt them, and this naturally affects her relationship with Augustus.

This moving novel deals with issues that most of its teen readers won’t have yet faced in their lives. As a teenager you often feel immortal. You feel as if life is stretching out ahead of you and death is the furthest from your mind. Hazel and Augustus, along with the other young people at the support group view life differently. There is no expectation that everyone will make it to the next meeting. No one is immortal.

With a huge teenage following and a successful movie adaptation this novel stays with you long after the closing paragraph.

MOTORING Volve XC90

By Kit Johnson bestselling car Volvo has ever produced? It wasn’t a great looker; an overly tall estate car jacked up on big wheels is never going to set the pulse racing.

Most versions made do with Volvo’s modest 5 cylinder 2.5 litre diesel, although there were T5 and T6 petrol engines available which produced plenty of power but drank lots of petrol. It wasn’t even much good in the mucky stuff, although it could handle 6 inches of snow with aplomb, and nor was it the height of luxury. What it did do was offer 7 seats, sensible running costs and all the practicality that any large family could ever require.

Back in the more confident days of 2002 Volvo did a remarkable thing; they launched a car that people actually want to buy. It wasn’t a boxy estate car or even a boxy coupé, it was a whopping great luxury 4x4.

Then, as now, the market was awash with big luxury SUVs, so what was it about this one that made it the

All good things must come to an end and, despite a facelift in 2007, the XC90 had become a bit old hat after 12 years in production. At the end of 2014 an all new XC90 arrived and now, somewhat belatedly, I am trying one out. The new car is longer, wider and lower than the old model so it is not just big, it is enormous. It doesn’t look like an SUV either; instead it looks like a normal Volvo estate care but with big

Inside though is another matter; it really is a very nice place to be. For starters, there’s so much space.

There are 7 proper full size adult seats and, even with the rearmost row in place, there is still a decent size boot. All those seats are very comfortable too and nicely trimmed in high quality leather. In fact, the fit and finish and quality of materials throughout the cabin is excellent, almost up there with Audi, which is praise indeed.

harassed of school run mums won’t find it remotely challenging.

The new XC90 fulfils its brief perfectly; it is luxurious but not ostentatious, fast but economical, spacious but easy to drive and practical enough to meet the needs of even the most demanding urban family.

Next time I’m in the market for a big estate car with reasonable off road ability, it will be right at the top of my list.

Car as tested Volvo XC90 D5 Momentum £45750 RRP

The dash looks like a Bang and Olufsen stereo with lovely matt ash inserts and what I can only describe as a tablet computer in the centre which controls almost everything.

The range of engines has been greatly simplified, though the various options are confusingly named.

All the engines are 2 litre 4 cylinder units. The two petrol variants are a turbo with 254bhp (the T5) and a supercharged turbo with an unlikely 320bhp output (the T6).

The diesel comes in 190 and 222bhp flavours (D4 and D5); I drove the D5. All the engine options are mated to an 8 speed automatic which is a big improvement on the old 5 speed box. The D5 engine is refined and responsive, hauls this huge car up to 62mph in under 8 seconds and still manages a very impressive 48mpg.

Volvo have done their utmost to make this the safest car in the world so it bleeps furiously when you manoeuvre in a carpark, applies the brakes if you get too close to the car in front and tries to stop you changing lane on the motorway if you haven’t indicated. Like the seats, the ride is soft and comfortable and it is a doddle to drive – the most

NEW CONDUCTOR FOR WHITE STAR BAND During the six and half years of ‘being in charge’, Cliff recalls how blessed he’s been with dedicated band members. He would like to say a massive ‘thank you’ to each and every one them.

F

ollowing the passing Margaret Wellard, former conductor of Malton White Start Band, Cliff hicks offered his conducting services on a temporary basis until a new one could be found.

This was back in March 2009 – and the so-called temporary position became permanent! Cliff and his wife Diane took on the White Star Band challenge which then consisted of nine members.

After ‘surviving’ its first summer season, including appearances at the Ryedale and Rosedale Shows, the message started to spread about the Band an how serious they about their performance and its future.

Cliff liked to try out new stuff, and enjoyed the freedom of being able to re-write certain pieces and bring them up-to-date. Cliff’s vision for White Star included finding new venues, and trying out new ideas. These included the Instrument Exhibition in Malton’s historic Town Hall and the twenty-four Play-A-Thon at St Michael’s Church in Malton Market Place. The latter event had a lot of interest from other bands and successfully raised £800 for Martin House Hospice.

Cliff is a man of many talents, as he’s taught brass in many different situations, including the School Band at Manor CE York, the Swinton Band, Yorkshire & Humberside Youth Band, Rowntree’s Band, along with private tuition in homes and in primary schools.

During the six and half years of ‘being in charge’, Cliff recalls how blessed he’s been with dedicated band members. He would like to say a massive ‘thank you’ to each and every one them.

“You have been a pleasure to work with and together we’ve achieved so much,” said Cliff.

86 • info@thehandymag.co.uk

Cliff’s notice period came to an end on 1st October and he handed over the musical baton of Band Musical Director to Steve Hague, the former Principal Cornetist of the Kippax Band and founder member of Scarborough’s ‘Simply Brass’.

Cliff said: “Steve will keep everyone on their toes.

I look forward to serving as Deputy when Steve is unable to attend.”

Cliff will also be getting some euphonium practice in before the Christmas Season begins.
