ello and welcome to our July edition, This month we’re focusing on getting out and about – whether that’s with family, friends or your canine companions. Perhaps you could enjoy a bike ride in the beautiful Dalby Forest or enjoy a day of uplifting sunshine bands at the new music festival coming to Malton this month? Along with our usual vast event listings there are Jazz festivals, summer fetes and agricultural shows – we have it all. Make sure you read this magazine from cover to cover so you don’t miss out!

We’re shining a spotlight on Ruth and Neil Hannah from Musical Memories this month. If you know me well, you know I love singing! Music lifts your mood – a fact proved in a 2011 scientific study that showed dopamine level rose by up to 9% in people’s brains when they were simply listening to music they liked. Numerous studies have shown that the release of endorphins and oxytocin when singing together relieves anxiety and stress and creates strong ties of friendship and community.

Ruth and Neil would definitely agree with this at Musical Memories singing sessions for older people. Have a read about their experience on page 36.

We’re celebrating 14 years of publishing the Handy Mag this month. Who knew that a magazine started on a whim would become such an integral part of the local community. We have been able to expand the magazines in pages and content, whilst standing by our principles of building stronger communities by helping our local businesses and organisations thrive. I’d like to thank all of our advertisers, contributors and readers who continue to support the Handy Mag – some since right at

ENOUGH WITH IT!

By Julie Wilson, Chartered Financial Planner at PenLife Associates

enerally speaking, there are 2 main groups of people when it comes to money; the overly circumspect, and the improvident.

The first type are likely to hold back from doing things they want from life. The ‘what if ’s’ and unpredictability of life can deter these people from treating themselves and improving their lifestyle. “I’d love a new kitchen, and I’ve seen the car that would be perfect for me. But I know I need to save for retirement and need to make it last. It’s not worth the risk”.

And the second type - carefree, ‘enjoy life in the moment because you only live once’ type of people. “I might as well buy the things I want now, and enjoy life while I can. You never know when your last day will be, so why not enjoy it?”.

Some people have traits of both. Whichever group you feel you fall into (if any), this is normal human behaviour. And I’m not saying either are necessarily wrong.

But have you ever thought about actually finding out the amount you’ll need to live comfortably - doing the things you want AND not running out of money?

How much is enough for you?

We are a Yorkshire-bred Chartered Financial Planning Firm. We know Yorkshire folks’ attitude

✔ FREE BOOK

towards money because we are Yorkshire folk. And we use our heritage and 30 + years of experience to guide our clients towards improving their lives - by using heavily researched investment planning and your own personal life goals.

We don’t just measure growth, we measure quality of life and we are results driven. We want our clients to achieve what they want – quitting that job, having that trip, buying that house, driving that car. That’s what makes us feel like we’re making a difference to people – not just having more money. Most of our clients already have that… We want to give them more.

We offer this FREE book which delves into the world of what to think about when finding out the amount you’ll need to live the life you want. We give these away to help get you started on the right path because we know it’s hard to take action when it’s so easy to sit idle.

Once you’ve requested and read this book, and have seriously thought about what you want out of your life (‘seriously’ means writing it down!). Then you’re ready to start taking the concept of financial and lifestyle planning seriously. That’s when YOU need to pick up the phone and speak to a professional. Sadly, we can’t do that bit for you…

Award for local volunteer Gordon at the Awards ceremony in London.

A

volunteer from a small, volunteer-run museum in Pickering has been ‘Highly Commended’ in the national Museum and Heritage Awards held in London. Gordon Clitheroe, who has volunteered at Beck Isle Museum in Pickering for 52 years, was Highly Commended in the ‘Volunteer of the Year’ category.

also uses this knowledge to give illustrated talks to community groups in the area.

Gordon has produced six books illustrating the history of Pickering and district, and from 2014 to 2018 lead a team which researched all those from Pickering who served during the 1914-18 War. In 2018 the second volume of this research: ‘Beck Isle Museum Remembers Pickering’s Returning Heroes’ was published, tracing the biographies of over 500 servicemen, and some women, who returned from the war.

Gordon still comes into the Museum most days and continues to use his skills helping to maintain the building, doing anything from clearing gutters and sweeping paths to liaising with contractors.

He continues to play a formal role by serving as a trustee of the charity, but it is his outgoing nature, his generosity of spirit and his utter dedication to the Museum over the last 52 years that is an inspiration to everyone who knows him.

“Gordon has been unstinting in his commitment to the Museum over the last 52 years and the trustees are delighted that he has received national recognition for his dedication to Beck Isle Museum” said Dr. Mike Pitt, Chair of the Trustees. “It is an accolade not only for Gordon, but also for a local, volunteer-run museum to be recognised in this way.”

Gordon has been a volunteer with Beck Isle Museum since its foundation in 1967. When the founders took over the Georgian house, which had been divided into flats, Gordon brought his skills as a qualified plumber and associated building skills, enabling him to play a key role in the team of volunteers who converted the Grade II* Georgian house into the Museum as it is today.

Gordon has served on the management committee in roles from Chair to Honorary Curator and remains a trustee. Over recent years, Gordon has continued to be an anchor for the Museum, with his vast knowledge of the history of the Museum and of Pickering and the surrounding district providing a unique source of information for volunteers and the Museum Manager.

Before you set off, pick up a map and familiarise yourself with where you’re going.

The Ellerburn trail is a multi-user pathway for everyone to enjoy with two distance options.

It’s also accessible for disabled cyclists and safe for children learning to ride – including a skills area.

It’s a great way to see different parts of Dalby. The four mile extension takes in the beautiful Crosscliffe and Jerry Noddle viewpoints so it’s well worth the extra miles!

As you crank up through your cycling gears and gain more skills and fitness, you can tackle the blue and red routes. For extreme and experienced riders there’s Dixon’s Hollow bike park and the World Cup cycle trail.

AN EVENING OF CLASSIC COMEDY

NOMADS PRODUCTIONS

F

or this year’s summer production Nomads are putting on three one act comedies. Two of them are classic Ayckbourn and the third is a play written by Anthony Booth (famous for his role in “Til Death Us Do Part”). The two Ayckbourn’s

are “Between Mouthfuls” and “Gosforth’s Fete”.

The Anthony Booth play is “None The Wiser” and although different in style is equally entertaining.

The group has 12 actors performing across the three plays directed by Roger Kay. The plays are made up of a range of comic styles from a conversational piece to classic farce set in a restaurant, a village fete marquee and a nun’s convent. Some variety there!

The production takes place on the 15th,16th and 17th of August at Norton College. Tickets are £7.50 from Malton Library’s Booking Office or can be bought on the door. As usual with Nomad’s productions seating will be cabaret style and there will be a bar on the night. Nomads hope that their many regular supporters will come along to their evening of classic comedies as well as people who are new to a Nomad’s production.

Spotlight On...

Ruth and Neil Hannah of Musical Memories

R

uth and Neil Hannah have been running Musical Memories since October 2015 and will be celebrating their 500th session in November this year. To date there have been over 9,000 attendances at their sessions. A remarkable achievement!

Music had been a big part of Ruth’s childhood with singalongs around the piano with her Dad, something that Ruth and Neil have continued to enjoy in their own family. The vast range of sheet music left to Ruth by her Dad included show tunes, standards, traditional, pop and folk songs. She knew it must be useful somehow and Musical Memories, a social enterprise providing fun singing sessions for older people, was born.

Studies into singing sessions for older people have shown that singing together can boost levels of immunity, reduce stress and improve mood and

36 | Handy Mag | July 2019

memory leading to a positive impact on overall health and wellbeing. Having experienced a session myself, they are joyful, relaxed and the perfect opportunity to get together in a social setting, reminisce, make new friends and sing!

The group has 90 minute sessions in Malton, Pickering, Kirkbymoorside and Helmsley with a 20-25 minute break in the middle for tea and a biscuit.

Ruth and Neil see themselves as facilitating rather than performing. “Singing together is really uplifting, but the songs also seem to set us off chatting, laughing and sharing stories so if there’s a hubbub in the room then we know that things are going well. People tell us that these sessions really make them feel good and we’ve seen lots of new friendships form and some old ones rekindled.”

Neil says that three main ideas combine to make Musical Memories sessions a success: 1. All songs are transposed down into a range that everyone can sing. As we get older, the range of our voices gets smaller so we transpose all of the songs down to make them easier to sing and accessible for everyone.

2. The stress of choosing songs is removed by randomly selecting songs using numbered balls in a bag. There are plenty of large print songbooks for everyone with Ruth’s Dad’s songs but also some more recent additions.

3. All attendees at sessions are given name badges to break down the barrier of not knowing someone.

Our fantastic volunteers help make people feel at home and make refreshments.

www.musicalmemoriesic.org.uk Ruth and Neil are keen to stress that Musical Memories is totally inclusive. “It is definitely not just for people with dementia. We have always been keen for our sessions to be free from stress and worry.

People can come and sing but they can also just come and listen and chat. There is no subscription and people don’t have to come every week.”

Musical Memories has also been involved with projects for York NHS Trust at Bridlington Hospital and Malton Hospital where they sang with older people in the wards. They also work with other local charities such as Ryedale Carers Resource and Next Steps.

Recently Musical Memories have been pleased to be awarded some Lottery funding from the Reaching Communities Award which focusses on projects that help with loneliness and isolation.

On 26th July Musical Memories will be holding their annual ‘Big Sing’ at The Milton Rooms in Malton.

Last year over 150 people came from all over Ryedale and further afield to sing wonderful uplifting songs from across the decades with a scrumptious afternoon tea.

If you would like the opportunity to sing or listen to music, chat and eat cake, why not go along to Musician Memories. Everyone is always welcome.

The people of St Mary’s Lastingham welcome you to their festival of flowers, music and displays, in thanksgiving for the arrival of Christianity to our beautiful valley on the edge of the North York Moors.

St Cedd came from Holy Island in AD654, to found a monastery in Lastingham. After his death he was followed by his brother, St Chad, who later took the Gospel to Lichfield and the West Midlands. With its unique Norman crypt, St Mary’s is one of England’s most holy places, a ‘Major Parish’ of the Church of England, and a perfect setting for the story of the northern saints.

TOP TIPS FROM A DENTAL PROFESSIONAL

KEEPING YOUR MOUTH HEALTHY AND SUMMER READY

T

he summer’s here! Some of us will be fortunate enough to be going on holiday so as

by Christine Parker well as getting your body BDS (GDC 72136) summer ready spare a thought for your smile.

When you get your teeth checked make sure you have them scaled and polished for good gum health, fresh breath and a brighter smile. Your dentist may offer this service themselves or they may have a hygienist or therapist provide the service.

Once your teeth have been refreshed it’s really important to maintain the spaces between the teeth where tartar and plaque can collect, ask about what types and sizes of interdentals would suit you best, everyone and every tooth is different so it’s essential that you use the correct size for each space.

Interdental cleaning done before the last brush of the day has enabled my patients to clean these areas better resulting in their cavity rates being reduced, their gums are much healthier and they have fewer problems generally.

So when they come back for their next check up their mouths are healthier and they feel much more confident about their smile. Very few patients need a full ‘makeover’ on their teeth most just need to be shown how to truly care for it.

For expert advice on mouth maintenance for maximum oral health contact Jan at HDP

Modern Dentistry Traditional Service Dr Christine Parker BDS invites you to register We are conveniently located at 11 Alan Farnaby Way, York Road Business Park, Sheriff Hutton YO60 6PG t: 01347 878111

Celebrating the 10th Anniversary Pride of Malton & Norton Awards

his year marks the 10th anniversary of the Pride of Malton and Norton Awards. Run by a volunteer local team, the awards have grown over the years into a prestigious occasion to celebrate local community and business heroes.

The Handy Mag’s very own Mandy West has been organising the awards since the very beginning (and well before she became part of our team) and is now part of a team of three in Malton and Norton Community Events which also includes Gemma Bicknell (The Topiary Tree) and David Macdonald (The Talbot).

It takes a huge amount of work to stage the awards. Mandy says “The aim has always been to celebrate those inspirational local people who make Malton and Norton a great place to live and work. It has been a real pleasure to be involved and see these people rewarded.” The awards are funded entirely by support from local businesses and over the years thousands has been raised for local charities with raffles and auctions on the night.

In 2018, £2400 was raised for Candlelighters and Sight Support Ryedale and in 2019 the chosen charities are Ryedale Special Families and Camphill Village Trust.

The awards ceremony will be held on Saturday 26th October at York House Marquee at The Talbot which provides a glittering backdrop to a great evening.

Do you know someone who has made our community better? Or a local business that has had a great year? Why not nominate them in the 2019 Awards!

Nomination categories: Bright Young Star Customer Service - Teacher of the Year - Business Personality of the Year - Food & Drink - Local Hero - Volunteer of the Year - New Business - Dedication to Sport - Established Business Charity of the Year.

Nomination forms are available online at https://tinyurl.com/y4e7cpnk and also from businesses around Malton & Norton or you can email your nominations to Mandy West - mandywest20@ icloud.com

WEATHER OR NOT..

By Rev Tanya Short

Minister, Ryedale Methodist Circuit

I

guess I’m one of those people who frequently talk about the weather. Generally it’s

either too hot or too cold.

It’s often too windy, but on a hot stuffy summer’s night a bit of wind would be better than the oppressive calm.

I frequently check out the weather forecast on TV, radio, or online. I have three different weather apps on my smart phone that in three different layouts tell me the forecast in Malton, and where family are in Skipton, Lancaster and Oxford hour by hour over the next 5 days.

And at the end of it all, I can’t alter tomorrow’s weather one iota.

I can of course mitigate some of the effects of the weather conditions. I can wear a raincoat or carry an umbrella if the forecast says rain. I can put on my bulkiest coat, wrap my bright red scarf around my neck and put on my thick woollen gloves if a cold snap is predicted. And I can even put on my summer skirt, T-shirt and sandals if heat wave is foretold, though lately that hasn’t happened very often.

And at the end of it all, I can’t alter tomorrow’s weather one iota.

I can of course, like many of us, complain about the weather. It is a national obsession not only to talk about it, but to complain about the weather. Hot, cold, wet, dry, windy or calm, it’s never what it should be, it’s never like it was when I was a girl in ’76!

And at the end of it all, I can’t alter tomorrow’s weather one iota.

The German theologian Reinhold Niebuhr’s writes his ‘Serenity Prayer’, the original, though it has been altered and revised over the years, goes like this:God, give me grace to accept with serenity the things that cannot be changed, Courage to change the things which should be changed, and the Wisdom to distinguish the one from the other.

Living one day at a time, Enjoying one moment at a time, Accepting hardship as a pathway to peace, Taking, as Jesus did, This sinful world as it is, Not as I would have it, Trusting that You will make all things right, 64 | Handy Mag | July 2019

“Thisuldo”, Plum Street, Norton, Malton YO17 9JA

If I surrender to Your will, So that I may be reasonably happy in this life, And supremely happy with You forever in the next. Amen.

I guess it’s not just in tomorrow’s weather that I could learn a bit of wisdom, but in quite a bit of my life; living one day at a time, enjoying each moment for what it is, trusting in the God who made the weather.

Love and blessings, Rev Tanya

Cloud 9 Windows Service with A Smile!

It’s been a crazy few months for Cloud 9 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.’

I get a huge amount of business from family and friends 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 328 8213 and he’ll be happy to help!

Cloud 9 Windows are based locally and Paul is finding that his approach is a major factor in his success. ‘The truth is that it’s not just personal satisfaction that I get from doing a good job but also it makes good business sense.

01653 618303 THE UNWRITTEN RULE OF DOG WALKING

24 hour emergency

Just off the A64 in Welburn near Castle Howard

w w w.stationhousevets.com

Recently I had a bad experience when I was walking with my mum and I thought I would share it with you all. I was walking on my lead when a dog ran up to me and around me shouting and growling at me, I was so scared that I bit my mum thinking that it was the dog trying to get me.

Some people think that us dogs are better if we meet when we’re off the lead. However, I find it scary when dogs run at me, I often react before thinking and prefer my own space.

I’m a bit wary of my elbow because of all the problems that I’ve had with it and if another dog comes near my elbow, I can be defensive. I hear other dogs’ mums and dads saying that their dog won’t hurt me, but I just don’t like people running straight up to me and shouting at me, would you?

On behalf of all the introverted dogs, please put your dog on a lead if you see another dog on a lead.

Thanks, Jasper x

These days most homeowners suffer from a lack of storage space. So many precious items that need to be kept – but where to store it all? That’s where Yorkshire Loft Ladders come in.

The company, based locally, offers homeowners the opportunity to maximise their storage space with a loft ladder, 50 sq ft of boarding and a light all fully fitted in less than a day from just £277 + VAT. But it’s not just the affordability of the package the company offers that makes Yorkshire Loft Ladders stand out as manager Mark Hodson explains: ‘Our watchwords are Quality,

Integrity and Value. Quality in the materials that we use for all our installations and the fact that all our loft packages are fitted by time served tradesmen so our customers are assured of the best job. Integrity in that we will turn up at the time we say and make sure the house is spotless when we leave, and Value in that we offer our services at a price people can afford. Our business relies on referrals and we got a huge amount of our calls from people who have been referred to us by our existing customers - that simply wouldn’t happen if we didn’t adhere to our overriding principles.

lead to more happy customers is true and we work hard to make that happen for every installation we carry out!’

So, if you want to make use of your loft space, however big or

small, call Mark on 0800 612 8359 and he’ll be happy to pop round and give you a no obligation quote so you too can make use of your loft!

At the end of the day the old adage that happy customers
