Welcome to the May edition.

While walking the dogs the skylarks are now singing high in the sky against the bright blueness; could it be spring at last? But even if weather-folk are forecasting continued easterlies for eternity, there comes a time when you have to believe better times are ahead. I feel this way with our businesses and that despite relentless forecasts of dip, double-dip and even triple-dips in our economy if only that were describing chocolate – that we must get down to business and this will see us through. So, come spring with our pastimes, or in businesses with our trade, it’s within our gift to make things happen and the Handy Mag is here to help you.

The Handy Mag is all about local – local businesses, local organisations, local events. In bringing out that which is unmistakably of the region, we look to protect our identity against the increasingly generic world of the big national brands from shops and restaurants to service providers. It’s a wellknown fact that supporting your local area builds

strong communities, sustains vibrant towns, links neighbours, creates more local jobs, enables local decisions and sees a larger share of the revenue cycled back into the local economy. Buy local, support local; use your local Handy Mag! This month, it is all-change at the Handy Mag office. Hattie, who has helped keep me sane and organised for the last year is off to see the world.

I’d like to wish her all the best for her trip and not to forget about us back here in sunny Yorkshire!

Coming in, not an entirely new face, is Nicky. If you have contacted us over the last 5 years, you may have spoken to Nicky in her role collating all of the community events every month. But now, undeterred by this experience and the madness of month-onmonth deadlines (and me stressing out), she is going to do more in the office and on a permanent basis!

Well done to Kathryn Pickering of Norton for winning the March competition.

Until next month…Marianne

Cheese, Bacon & Onion Pie Makes 8 Slices

Ready in 1½ hours, plus chilling

Pastry: • • • • •

225g plain flour 1 tsp mustard powder Pinch of salt 115g butter, chilled and diced 4-5 tbsp iced water

Filling: • • • • • •

175g smoked bacon pieces 4 onions, peeled and thinly sliced 1 tbsp sunflower oil 200g mature Cheddar cheese, grated Beaten egg, to glaze Tomato salad, to serve (see Tip)

Tip: To make the pastry, sift the flour into a large bowl and stir in the mustard powder and salt.

Add the diced butter and rub into the flour between your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse breadcrumbs.

Stir in enough of the iced water with a round bladed knife to mix to a crumbly dough. Knead very lightly until just smooth then flatten into a disc and wrap in cling film. Chill for 20-25 minutes.

Meanwhile, prepare the filling. Dry-fry the bacon pieces in a large non-stick frying pan for 4-5 minutes until just golden. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside. Add the oil and sliced onions to the pan and fry gently, stirring occasionally, for about 15 minutes until the onions are very tender and pale golden. Leave to cool. Preheat the oven to 190°C, 375°F, Gas Mark 5. Place a baking sheet in the oven to heat up.

Roll out just over half the pastry on a lightly floured surface and use to line a 20x30cm loose-based fluted flan tin. Layer the bacon, onions and grated cheese in the pastry case and season between the layers with freshly ground black pepper.

Roll out the rest of the pastry and use to cover the filling. Seal the edges of the pastry with water then pinch them tightly together with fingertips. Trim off any excess pastry.

Brush the pastry with the beaten egg and pierce 3-4 holes in the top of the pie to allow the steam to escape. Bake on the hot baking sheet for 25-30 minutes until the pastry is crisp and golden. Serve warm or cold with tomato salad, if liked.

14 • info@thehandymag.co.uk

Serve simply with a fresh tomato salad made by thickly slicing ripe vine tomatoes and layering with finely chopped spring onions and a few fresh basil leaves. Drizzle with a little olive oil and season with freshly ground black pepper.

owever much effort you make with your garden, you can be sure that there will still be a few things that look awful.

You may have made (or hope to make) beautiful borders, sensational shrubbery and lots more besides, but how do you cope with those things you just cannot seem to hide?

A washing line may be essential but rarely adds to the appeal of the garden. If yours consists of two large poles with a line in between, try growing a pretty climber up the poles.

If you use a self-clinging plant such as variegated ivy it won’t need any additional support.

Alternatively make a chicken wire, trellis ‘box’ or frame around the posts and then allow the

climber to scramble up, using plant ties if necessary. Summer flowering clematis or sweet pea will look great too. If you do use a more vigorous climber then be prepared to do some intermittent pruning.

Decrepit sheds or moth-eaten garages can be a real eyesore.

Sometimes a thorough scrub of the walls will do the trick, or why not make a feature out of the shed or garage and re-paint it.

Consider erecting a trellis on one or more of the vertical surfaces and grow a selection of favourite climbers up it to make an even more attractive feature. If the garden can be a little gloomy then it helps if you paint any surfaces such as garage or shed walls with a paler colour.

If your heating is fuelled by gas from an unattractive and

enormous cylinder or oil from a large green tank, you will know that they have to be sited in an accessible position. You can use hazel wattle hurdles to hide them which are perfect as they also match with the adjacent boundary fence. Try using standard fence panels in the same way and again planting them with climbers or scramblers will help. Whatever you do, make sure that you check on it from time to time and remove excessive climber growth so that the tank remains accessible.

Is it the neighbouring garden that harbours the eye sore which makes you want to retreat back into your house? Something nasty next door is of course even harder to conceal but why not add a layer of trellis to the top of your existing fence and then use climbers once it is in position.

Hold the trellis in position using batons of wood attached to the existing fence posts or special post-joining metal sleeves that you can buy from your fencing

supplier or garden centre. Trellis is available in a range of shapes and need not be straight edged so you can create a range of different looks to suit your gardening style. Another option is to erect a pergola or arch to obscure or break up an unsightly view or the eyesore in the neighbour’s garden and adding plants will help to add a bit more height and soften the outline.

If you combine some of your favourite flowering climbers with some evergreen planting too, you should even achieve good effects during the seasons when the leaves have fallen from many plants.

A higher standard of cleaning

T

raditional window cleaning that goes a little bit further is the secret to success for A Touch of Glass.

Owner John Mathers’ van is equipped with a high-tech ‘Reach and Wash’ system which uses innovative technology to heat the water on site to 70 degrees, purifying it of all minerals or chemicals as it goes, which means you’re guaranteed a gleaming, streakfree finish without harming the environment.

What’s more, dormer windows, conservatory roofs and skylights in awkward places are no problem for John, as the equipment he uses makes short work of even the hardest-to-reach windows.

As well as traditional window cleaning, A Touch of Glass can give a thorough cleaning treatment to roofs, soffits and guttering, windows above lean-tos or conservatories, solar panels and signage.

Further benefits of the Reach and Wash system, which is operated from the ground, are reduced risk of damage caused by ladders and less disturbance with increased privacy for the customer.

John set the business up in summer last year. A butcher by trade, he discovered a love of outdoors work after helping a friend with their window cleaning business. Although he originally intended to only work a couple of days a week, to fit around family life – John has a young daughter at home – word of mouth about

the quality and value of his service spread and A Touch of Glass is now a thriving business with a constantly-growing customer list.

A Touch of Glass is based in Malton and covers the whole of Ryedale. For a free quote on your exterior cleaning job, call John Mathers today on 01653 694046 or 07384 778962.

ost people misunderstand money, including, worryingly, the people regulating advice on money.

The FSA (that’s the Financial Services Authority not the Food Standard Agency, though they’ve both made such a hash of regulation, I swear they couldn’t have done a worse job if they’d been regulating each other’s market) say advisers must “identify clients that are best suited to placing their money in cash deposits because they’re unable/unwilling to accept the risk of loss of capital.” No mention of inflation risk. Low interest/high inflation environments slash the real buying power of money. My Grandma and Grandad bought their first house for three hundred quid. It’s now worth £130,000. That’s inflation at work. No mention of tax risk. If you have a cash deposit but are liable for Inheritance Tax – you’re nailed on to lose 40% of it on death. No mention that the lot could be lost in paying for care.

Warren Buffet, the most successful investor in the world said “people who hold cash deposits feel comfortable. They shouldn’t. They have opted for a terrible long term asset. One that pays virtually nothing and is certain to depreciate in value.”

So who do you think is right? A multisquillionnaire, or a little Herbert at the FSA earning a few grand a year? Think it through.

If you’d like a FREE copy of my “Straight-Talking Guide to Investment” which look at the difference between savings and investment, proves that cash is one of the worst long term investments, shows the devastating impact of tax and inflation and explains the different approaches to long term investment, just ring O330 1001744 and ask for Helen, email your name and address to helen@pen-life.co.uk, fax 01904 466206, or send your name and address to Helen Scurry, Pen-Life Chartered Financial Planners, Equinox House, Clifton Park, York YO30 5PA and we’ll send you your FREE copy.

An amazing line-up in Malton

M

alton Food Lovers Festival has announced a top line-up of Patrons and visiting Chefs for Saturday 18th and Sunday 19th of May including: Antonio Carluccio, Tom Parker Bowles, James McKenzie and Andrew Pern. The Festival has also confirmed that Selina Scott will be Festival President. Tom Naylor-Leyland, founder of the Festival says, “We are very fortunate to have such a wonderful line-up and we’re hoping that this year will see Malton’s best Festival yet.”

TV’s Antonio Carluccio, will top the bill and be cooking live. New this year is the ability to buy tickets to have a cookery lesson with Antonio.

Also new is the Festival’s first Charity Gala Dinner, cooked and hosted by Antonio himself. Proceeds from all tickets will support Malton CIC, thus benefitting the local community.

Proving that the county already has an enviable culinary reputation, Michelin-starred James Mackenzie of the Pipe and Glass, and Andrew Pern of the Star Inn at Harome, will cook live and also give special cookery lessons. James says, “At the Pipe and Glass, we are committed to sourcing as much local and seasonal produce as possible - but first and foremost it’s quality that counts.” Festival goers will have the opportunity to learn first-hand how quality produce makes all the difference to the dish.

Meanwhile, Tom Parker Bowles, renowned food writer, stepson and godson to H.R.H. Prince Charles and Food Editor at Esquire magazine, returns to entertain the Festival audience with his culinary skills and cook books. Tom introduced last year’s Festival visitors to positively posh pork scratchings which were seriously tasty!

Keeping them all in order will be Festival President Selina Scott. Selina will interview some of the Festival’s special guests in front of a live audience.

Clearly, May 18th and 19th are definitely dates for the diary because this is one Festival you do not want to miss.

Fabulous feet

Summer’s on its way - hopefully?! So here’s 5 summer foot care tips from Stuart Moore Foot Health to get your feet in shape.

1. Flip-Flops Don’t be tempted to wear flipflops all through the summer. They don’t provide support for your feet and can give you arch and heel pain if you wear them for too long.

2. Remove hard skin Hard, cracked skin around the heels is very common in summer, often caused by open-backed sandals and flip-flops rubbing around the edge of the heel. Use a foot file, emery board or pumice

stone to gently rub away the hard skin, then apply a rich moisturising cream such as aqueous cream or E45 to soften the skin.

3. Banish blisters Blisters strike more often in hot weather. They’re caused by rubbing, especially between the toes if you’re wearing flip-flops with “thongs”. The key to preventing summer blisters is to keep your feet dry, wear shoes or sandals that fit well and aren’t too loose, and give your feet ample rest so they don’t get hot and sweaty. If you do get a blister, don’t put a plaster over it. Leave it to dry out on its own.

4. Watch out for foot infections The floors of communal showers and changing rooms at open-air and hotel swimming pools are hot spots for infections such as athlete’s foot and verrucas. Don’t wander around public pools bare-

foot. Protect your feet by wearing flip-flops in the changing room and at the pool edge.

5. Ring the changes Wear a variety of different sandals and shoes during summer to help prevent cracked heels, hard skin and blisters. I realize that when the summer arrives, people are naturally going to opt for lightweight footwear so alternating your footwear so that you aren’t wearing the same style of shoe day in day out, whether they are high heels or flats Lastly get help if you need it If you have any problems, such as hard skin that you can’t get rid of, it’s best to seek professional help.

Top Tips from a dental professional

Understanding what your dentist is checking for...

by Christine Parker BDS (GDC 72136) hen we attend the dentist many people feel bamboozled by the jargon that is used, by trusting your dental professional and talking to them they will be able to explain exactly what they mean in lay peoples terms.

• Your dentist will take a full medical history and update this regularly, you must inform them of any changes to allow them to treat you safely • Your dentist will visually check your lips, tongue and all the soft tissues in your mouth and entrance to the throat.

• They will then examine your teeth and may use terms like MOD, occlusal, buccal, etc these refer to the tooth surface and allow them to identify and chart any fillings present or needed.

• They will then, at least once a year, fully examine your gums using a special probe, this is gently inserted into the natural space between your tooth and the gum and a series of numbers called out. The lower the number the better your gum health, ideally we are looking for zero. Any numbers of 3 or above merit additional gum treatment, possibly with a hygienist. Poor gum health has been linked in several studies to heart problems and diabetes.

• Your dentist will also look at any factors which may increase your likelihood of increased dental disease, is your mouth dry, are you on certain medications that can affect your gums, is your diet high in sugars and do you brush correctly?

These, and many other considerations, will allow them to develop a treatment plan personalised to your needs. They should then discuss this with you and give you information on how to reduce your risk.

If you would like a comprehensive oral assessment and to receive information on how to achieve and maintain good oral health then contact Georgina at Howardian Dental Practice to book an appointment.

Tortoise or the Hare?

Our monthly column by Andy Boxall, Minister of Elim Ryedale Church

If there was a top 10 of essential qualities required to succeed in our modern world would ‘faithfulness’ appear? Recently, I had a conversation in which, when faced with a choice, they kept saying, ‘What about my personal happiness? Isn’t that important?’ Faced with the choice of faithfulness or personal happiness, which would you choose?

The fable told by the Ancient Greek story teller contrasts the speed and cunning of the Hare with the steady doggedness of the tortoise. The hare, confident in his own speed, challenges the tortoise to a race, but after taking the lead takes a nap half way only to wake up to find that the tortoise has won. Like the hare, today we tend to mock the steady, reliable and faithful associating them with ‘boring, dull and uninteresting.’ Sadly today, ‘faithfulness’ has become commonly viewed as outdated rather than a virtue to be cherished.

Plus, I find being faithful really difficult, don’t you? I don’t like the thought of feeling trapped or being considered stuck in my ways or a bit of a plodder. I want to be on the edge, pushing the boundaries, creative and spontaneous. This type of person seems to get all the kudos and is considered ‘successful’ and praise worthy.

However, I believe that to be truly happy I must learn to develop faithfulness. Faithfulness is often elusive because it is hard, takes commitment, perseverance and determination. It means we must keep going when everything within us shouts, ‘give up!’ It is in these moments that we have the opportunity to be faithful or walk away.

Sadly, many relationships, jobs and opportunities are thrown away at this critical moment.

I believe faithfulness is a quality to be admired.

As a Christian, it is the faithfulness of God to never leave me, to always love me when I don’t deserve it that encourages me each day to be faithful in my relationships, and remain faithful to the commitments I make. It’s not always easy; to be faithful sometimes mean to put my ‘personal happiness’ to one side temporarily. To take a step back, to look at the bigger picture and take a decision that has the potential for long term happiness and contentment. I certainly believe that faithfulness should appear in my top 10 essential qualities to succeed in our modern world, do you? www.thehandymag.co.uk • 01653 658776 • 31

hese days, we’re doing more and more things digitally: our holiday snaps sit on hard disks, our music is often in MP3 and we’re as likely to download films as buy them on disc.

That’s great when your PC’s working perfectly, but how do you make sure it stays that way?

Protecting your PC falls into three key categories: protecting your valuable data, protecting your PC from online threats and protecting your PC from physical damage.

Protecting the hardware is the easy bit.

Surge protectors can prevent nasty spikes in the electricity supply from causing any damage, and if you have a laptop you can buy a Kensington Lock to secure it to something suitably hefty. A compressed air canister can blow dust out of fan vents and debris out of keyboards, and it’s a good idea to keep your PC away from extremes of temperature - a sunny room

in summer is a terrible place to keep a PC. Be particularly aware of potential spills: liquid can destroy computers and you won’t believe the damage a tin of baby food can do to a keyboard. It’s a very good idea to keep food and drink and PCs separate.

No matter how careful you are, computers can and do break: every hard disk will wear out eventually. That’s why it’s really important to keep backup copies of anything important such as family photographs, home videos or iTunes downloads. You can do this in several ways - using an online service such as Mozy (www.mozy.co.uk) or Skydrive (skydrive.live.com), by burning them to DVD or by copying them to an external hard disk, but remember that if your backup is in the same place as the original, a domestic disaster such as a burst pipe might ruin both of them.

It’s worth remembering too that services such as Facebook won’t

How to avoid a digital disaster

compensate you if they accidentally delete or damage your online photo libraries; once again make sure that if it’s important, you have more than one copy in case of disaster.

The other issue to worry about is “malware”, which is software designed to do nasty things. Sometimes malware spies on you, trying to obtain your passwords and other details; other times it just damages files or slows your PC to a crawl. The good news is that it’s relatively easy to avoid: Windows 7 and Windows 8 both have firewall software, which can prevent nasties getting in, and if you’re suspicious you can avoid most malware. Don’t open unsolicited email attachments from people you don’t know, and don’t let fake emails from the bank fool you: your bank will never send you programs or zipped documents in an email.

Always make sure you’re downloading from reputable sources, such as Microsoft.com,

Malton and Norton students have Got charity Talent

Talented students from Malton School and Norton College are going head to head in a talent contest in aid of local charity Louby’s Lifeline Appeal.

Twelve acts will battle it out in Malton’s Milton Rooms on Friday April 26th at 7pm to raise money for the charity, set up by teenager Laura Tierney Robertson and her mum Emma, to raise funds for research into treatment of brain tumours in young people. Bands, singers, dancers, comedians and even a magician will take to the stage and face a panel of judges including star of the chart topping Helmsley band One Night Only, Daniel Parkin.

Organised by Mayor of Norton, Councillor Di Keal, the event is part of her charity of the year drive to raise money for Louby’s Lifeline.

Di said: “I decided this year instead of holding a council Civic Dinner I would do something to raise money for a great local charity.

“I have seen some of the acts who will be appearing from both schools and there are some amazingly talented young people appearing in the show which everyone will enjoy – it would be great to see the Milton Rooms full on the night and raise as much as we can for Louby’s Lifeline.”

we’re going

Malton & Norton

If every adult in the Malton and Norton area spent £5 in the local independent shops that they would have otherwise spent online or in a big supermarket, the total would be worth an extra £2.6 million to the local economy.

Makes you think, doesn’t it?

If you buy a home made pork pie for your lunch, the money goes to the pie-maker and the shop where you bought it (which might or might not be the same person). The shop employs a local accountant, a decorator, a window cleaner…they advertise in local publications….the piemaker buys meat from a local farm…the farmer spends money at a local garage….and so on. With each step, around 80% of each spend goes into the local economy and the money staying in the local area keeps increasing.

Totally Locally was started four years ago to help the independent shops in Hebden Bridge. It was so

successful that it has spread to other towns across the country…..seventy by the end of 2012….and rising. Malton and Norton together are full of small independent shops, offering variety as well as good old fashioned service. Totally Locally provides – for free – a simple but effective branding and marketing scheme, organised from the bottom-up. It is not about ‘How do I promote my own business?’ It is about ‘How do we work together to get people to understand what Malton and Norton together have to offer.’ www.totally-locally.co.uk for lots of very readable background to this exciting project.

Come and find out more...

Totally Locally Malton and Norton Drop-In Afternoon, Thursday 9th May, between 3 and 7pm at The Yard, Malton market place The Launch Day of Totally Locally Malton and Norton will be on Saturday 8th June.

From the playground to the workplace, we all know we’re not going to get by without a little help from our friends. But how do we go about forging those friendships in the first place? We’ve put together a collection of stories where a friendship is central. And it just goes to show, bonds can be formed in the most unlikely of places.

How to Win Friends Of Mice and Men John Steinbeck

George Milton and Lennie Small are two migrant workers who dream of owning their own farm. George is intelligent but uneducated and Lennie is a great hulk of a man; physically strong but mentally weak. Set during the Great Depression, the pair is forced out of the aptlynamed ‘Weed’, California after Lennie’s fondness for touching ‘soft things’ lands him in trouble.

Chasing the elusive American Dream, George must decide what kind of a future their friendship can have.

The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas John Boyne

Bruno is the son of an SS officer and is also a natural-born explorer, so it’s no surprise that when his family moves to ‘Out With’, he has a lot of questions about the children who appear behind the barbed wire fence wearing blue striped pyjamas.

Bruno meets Shmuel, who lives the other side, has a shaved head and is constantly hungry and the two form a friendship that will have devastating consequences. Boyne’s children’s book about concentration camps is a must-read for all adults. It will stay with you for days, weeks and months afterwards, just as it should.

Wonder R.J. Palacio

Starting high school is tough enough for any kid, but when you have a facial deformity and it’s your first time stepping into the torrential current of mainstream education, you’re bound to be washed away.

August Pullman is starting in the Fifth Grade and has the rather unenviable task of helping his classmates see beyond his disfigurement. There are tears and laughter in equal measures as ‘Auggie’ tries to make the right friends and find his place in the unforgiving environment of Beecher Prep.

The Help Kathryn Stockett

This is the story of three women: Skeeter, Aibileen and Minny, and their attempts to change the social structure and confines of a segregated Mississippi in the 1960s. Young Skeeter is a white woman with a degree, but no husband. Aibileen is a black maid who is essentially raising a white woman’s child for her, whilst grieving for her own dead son. Meanwhile Minny is a fantastic cook but an even greater gossip. Between them, the three plan to write and publish their own stories, revealing social scandals and ‘tellin’ it like it is’.

Starter for Ten David Nicholls

It must be every teenage boy’s dream to appear on ‘University Challenge’ mustn’t it? For anyone who ever felt the odd one out, this book is testament to the fact that within institutes of higher education, everyone can find kindred spirits. Working-class student Brian Jackson is off to university on a full scholarship and he’s determined to flex his intellectual muscles by winning a place on the UC team.

The Joy Luck Club Amy Tan

Before Carrie Bradshaw et al, four Chinese women began meeting in San Francisco to compare notes as recent immigrants. It was 1949 and they called themselves ‘The Joy Luck Club’. It’s a complex and delicately interwoven tale of Chinese mothers and daughters, revealing secrets and lies and all striving to find a place in the modern world whilst feeling the constant tug of their past.

L

earning to drive is considered by many to be like a right of passage, a step along the journey to growing up, to becoming an adult. Scary stuff for any seventeen-year-old.

Even more daunting, is that for young drivers, it’s really not uncommon for the insurance to cost more than the car itself, add the price of driving lessons onto that, and it’s no surprise that less and less teenagers are learning to drive. The figure has actually decreased by almost 20% since 2007, according to a quick google search.

For some of my friends living in towns and cities, walking and taking the bus is a whole lot easier and cheaper, and they don’t have to rely on anyone else, but considering the distinct lack of available public transport in little villages such as my own, a driving licence is basically a ticket to freedom, even if it’s an expensive one.

Personally, I’m looking forward to (hopefully) passing my test and I’ll be able to wave goodbye to the parental taxi service, which I’m pretty sure they’ll be pleased about too! I was originally petrified at the prospect of being trusted to be in control of a car, but have quickly realised that it’s not the possibility of accidentally ploughing into someone’s living room that scares me the most, it’s that I know I’m annoying everyone else on the road.

For some unknown psychological reason, people are a million times more aggressive when in a car, maybe it’s that you’ve got a big protective steel box on wheels, but even still, the majority of drivers I know wouldn’t dream of hurling the same strings of obscenity they can come up with for other drivers if they were on foot or cycling.

Whenever I time my turning a little bit wrong, I can feel the hatred seething out of the car’s radiator grill behind me. It’s enough to want to have a little sign I can put in my back window, saying ‘Sorry!’

Have a Happy dog

H

appy Paws kennels have hosted hundreds of dogs since they were set up in 2010 by owners Rosie and Richard Stephenson. And they have certainly made many dogs, and owners, very happy!

Rosie and her boy!

Rosie has long had a very keen interest in the welfare of dogs.

She studied for her Foundation Degree in Canine Behaviour and Training at Bishop Burton College and is also an active member Ryedale Dog Rescue. Born and raised on a farm, Richard has been involved with farm livestock and dogs all his life and has previously trained his own gundogs (spaniels and labradors).

The kennels are set in 25 acres of beautiful Yorkshire countryside well away from any major roads and comply with all current boarding regulations, are fully insured and local authority licensed.

The main things that strikes you when visiting the kennels is that the dogs seem calm and contented. Every dog has it’s own cozy indoor space, complete with underfloor heating, and an outdoor run of their own. They’re taken out at least three times a day, and there are enclosed paddocks where they can run around and play.

Rosie says “We know it is

Agility training

A contented dog in the kennels hard to go on holiday and leave your dog in kennels. so we have a very active routine full of opportunities to exercise and play so the dogs are relaxed, settled and very content.”

It’s not just at holiday time when you need good dog care.

If you’ve got an important appointment, you’re working late or going on a family trip, leave your dog at Happy Paws day creche and enjoy a worry-free day.

You are welcome to visit Happy Paws for a look round before taking your dog there.

Contact Rosie to arrange an appointment on 01944 758068, 07711 803389 or visit www. happypawsboarding.co.uk.

Dog Agility at Happy Paws

In partnership with Canine aspects, Rosie now offers agility training for you and your dog at Happy Paws. Classes are run by Lesley Suggitt who is a grade 6 handler and founder member of the East Yorkshire Agility Club.

Lesley initially started learning agility with her cocker spaniel for fun and soon became totally hooked! Now she competes all over the country in this hugely popular international sport and is a fully qualified trainer.

Dog agility involves the dogs negotiating obstacles on a course under the guidance of his/her handler who controls the dog only by voice and body language.

It’s great fun, good exercise and helps strengthen the bond between dog and owner.

Classes at Happy Paws are for everyone from complete beginners to advanced levels, whether you’d just like a bit of fun to keep your dog on top form or would like to compete. Lesley is also happy to arrange one-to-one training with you if you wish to take things a little bit further.

Lesley’s classes are every other Saturday morning at Happy Paws. There is a large secured outside area for agility. For more information and to book call Lesley on 07917 601953.

ard to believe as I write this at Easter in the swirling snow that summer is ever coming to Yorkshire! Sadly the blistering heat of our typical summer brings the midges in clouds which can cause a serious problem for some ponies and horses.

Sweet-itch is a condition caused by by an allergic reaction to the saliva of the midge, and results inrelentless itching of the body-especially the mane and tail. These poor animals rub themselves raw and it is most distressing for for the pony and their owners.

They often present to the vet after the owners have tried many over-the-counter treatments.

Insecticides such as DEET, Benzyl Benzolate and Avon’s ‘Skin so Soft’ (recommended by the SAS!). These are useful but shortlived. Sadly they cannot be used if the skin is broken. Other oils such as citronella, tea tree and eucalyptus are tried with varied success, but fragrant effects.

Vaccines and de-sensitisation have been trialled in the past with limited success, as have food additives such as garlic, brewer’s yeast, marmite and cider vinegar -delicious combination! Steroids and anthistamines have their place too.

Where there are numerous treatments used, it often means that there is no specific cure for the condition in all horses, but my first advice to owners is to avoid the midge. This can be achieved by selecting safer

If this is not practical, then avoid grazing at dusk and dawn, when midges are at their worst, stabling in the meantime.

The midge-proof rugs with hoods such as BOETT are very helpful but the secret is to shut them in before the horse becomes itchy, otherwise the rugs last minutes before being rubbed off themselves.

This is a complex condition, so contact your vet for advice on management and medical treatment options, so you can both work out for you and your pony.

Challenging Way of AllAn’s Chimney the Roses beckons for sweeping serviCes Team McClarrons Brush & Vacuum

R

iders face 170-mile journey across Lancashire and Yorkshire for Ryedale Special Families A 15-strong team of cyclists are determined to battle through the pain barrier and finish ‘The Way of the Roses’ later this year. The coast to coast challenge will see an attempt to cycle 170 miles in a single day – and raise £3,000 for Ryedale Special Families.

“The coast to coast ride is something that I’ve wanted to do for quite a while, but it was only last summer when I got involved with the Malton Wheelers that I had access to a group of people who might want to do something similar,” said organiser Darren Felgate.

“I initially put the idea out on Facebook and within 15 minutes I already had a few people who said they were interested and things just spiralled from there.”

The plucky peloton will leave Morecambe on June 22nd and pedal through parts of Lancashire and Yorkshire before finishing at Bridlington later that same day.

Darren has been sponsored by his employers, Malton-based insurance brokers, McClarrons Ltd, and has garnered support from Big Bear Bikes of Pickering, Ryedale Special Families and Grip Cycles of Scarborough.

Darren said “Raising money for Ryedale Special Families seemed the logical step when I heard that another member of the Malton Wheelers, Steve Kneeshaw, had first-hand experience of the assistance that they provide.”

Steve added “This is a great opportunity to help a group of people who really make a difference to families and children with special needs.”

Yorkshire Coast Dog Rescue By the time you read this our Auction will be over.

We will give details in the next issue. This month we would like to concentrate on our dogs.

All the dogs that come into our care are frightened and confused, and many of them have been badly abused, starved, or neglected, so contrary to the television advertising by the large dog rescues, you will not get a cute puppy that will come bounding into your life and slot in straight away. What you will get is a dog that has done nothing wrong and desperately needs patience, tolerance and understanding, and above all else, it needs love, and it will then reward you with loyalty, devotion and companionship for the rest of it’s life’ If you feel you can adopt or foster one of our beautiful dogs please ring 0758 3269614.

Max Born on 4th October 2012, our Husky/German Shepherd cross is just adorable, full of fun but very well behaved and eager to learn. He is fully housetrained and used to other dogs and children so will make a wonderful family pet.

Simon Our beautiful Border Collie/Saluki cross is under a year old, very friendly if a bit shy at first and good with other dogs. He recently took part in the Walk For Life in Scarborough and behaved impeccably, he coped very well with the crowds and other dogs, we were so proud of him.

I

t’s the Noel Edmonds of the car world: Some love his fuzzy patch of facial hair, while others detest his banker-bothering ways.

Much like the Panamera. OK, not a lot like the Panamera, but you get my point, sort of. This baboon-bottomed, super-sized porker isn’t for everyone. It’s big, brash and in your face – and this jazzed up GTS version is even more raucous. But is it too jazzy?

We find out...

What is it?

It’s Porsche’s executivetransporting-super-giant machine with added fizz-bangwallop. The GTS sits below the Turbo, but is still ludicrously swift for a car and as long as your average P&O ferry.

Slightly harder, sportier and more involving, the GTS is for

punting pen-pushers to the office with a bit more vigour and involvement.

What’s under the bonnet?

Under its Bergerac-esque conk is an utterly brilliant 4.8-litre lump lifted from the Panamera S. In GTS guise, it gets a bit more stomp – up 30bhp to 424bhp with torque at 520Nm. This is mated to a brilliant, self-shifting seven-speed ‘box which makes for rapid getaways. Despite its bulk, it will rival a BMW M5 in the 0-60mph sprint, covering it in 4.5s whilst going on to hit 174mph top whack.

What’s the kit like?

Suitably impressive, but like all Porsches you’ll pay through the nose for it. This test model had a whopping £15,159 worth of options on it. The red paint cost £2,517 alone, then there’s

RYEDALE • MAY 2013 • ISSUE 88

The Knowledge Model: Porsche Panamera GTS Price: £91,239 Engine: 4.8-litre, V8 Power: 430bhp, 520Nm Max speed: 179mph 0-62mph: 4.5s MPG (comb’d): 25.9 Emissions: 256g/km

£3,197 for the dynamic chassis control and torque vectoring plus ceramic brakes cost a scary £5,924. You even pay £295 for the heated seats.

Any rivals?

Oh, you betcha. All premium manufacturers have a rival or two. BMW could flog you an M5 or a 7 Series, Audi has an S8 (which is awesome), Jaguar an XJ probably in R trim. And Mercedes would no doubt sell you something slightly duller like an S Class. But what you really want from them is something with an AMG badge. Anyway, you get our point – there’s lots of choice.

Is it any good?

In a word, yes. I was thinking of ending things there, but that wouldn’t have been much of a review. The GTS is quite possibly the best Panamera available. It’s rapid, incredibly entertaining, engaging to drive and sounds fiery. There are three driving modes, but I can’t remember them all as the only one you

really want is Sport Plus. It sounds better, it goes quicker and the steering feels crisp. On the road, the four wheel drive makes it feel planted and it’s one of the comfiest cars over distance I’ve tried for a long time.

The verdict I want one... and I wouldn’t have said that about a Panamera before I drove the GTS version.

For someone who likes involvement in their daily drive, but comfort to boot, the GTS ticks a lot of boxes. The looks won’t float everyone’s boat, but they certainly grew on me over my week with the barge.

However, you’re going to need pretty deep pockets to enjoy this Porsche as the options alone cost more than three Dacia Sandero’s!

But I know which I’d rather have on the driveway.

Don’t suffer in silence Being able to hear is fundamental to our ability to communicate. If we can’t hear, we can’t respond to others nor speak clearly or judge our pitch – try talking to someone with headphones and they’ll shout back at you. But like most of our senses we take our hearing for-granted and only notice it if it starts failing.

Most age related hearing loss is not noticeable until later life, but deterioration begins much earlier.

You start to lose some of your range as early as in your twenties.

Age related hearing loss is much the same as other types of “wear and tear” on the body. Just as hips and knees wear out so does our hearing. Constant exposure to the noisy world we live in gradually wears away at the “nerves” in our ears, reducing their number and the range of sounds that can be picked up.

What can you do to protect yourself?

Even if you already have some loss, looking after what’s left is imperative. Be aware of situations and environments that can damage your hearing such as: • Playing loud music through headphones and earphones • Attending loud live music concerts - even some classical concerts • Using simple DIY equipment such as hammers and power tools • Day to day activities such as riding a motorcycle (wind noise – not the engine noise as you might think) or even driving in a car with the window down (some truck and taxi drivers have more pronounced hearing loss in their right ear, nearest the open window) • Recreational activities such as 52 • info@thehandymag.co.uk

shooting So first off, be aware when there may be damaging levels of noise present and if there is, protect your ears.

Inexpensive foam earplugs can be purchased from DIY stores and some high street chemists.

Most concert venues have free earplugs available, and whilst they rarely offer them to you on arrival, there’s usually a good supply behind the bar. Keep a few pairs in a drawer for use around the house when tackling your latest DIY project too.

What if you already have hearing loss?

It’s not usually that you can’t hear at all but just that it’s not clear.

Often it’s the high frequency sounds that fade first, such as bleeps and bells. Then it becomes difficult to hear what people are saying when there is background noise such as in crowds or when the television is on.

If left undiagnosed or treated, a hearing loss can lead to other problems. Because it’s unclear what has been said, socialising in groups becomes awkward.

Sufferers find themselves pretending to laugh at jokes when they didn’t hear the punch-line, or just nodding and smiling and then being embarrassed because the person talking is awaiting an answer. This in turn leads to loss of confidence and feelings of social exclusion.

What can be done?

It’s really not necessary to – literally – suffer in silence. A simple trip to a specialist hearing centre, audiologist or your GP to arrange a hearing test will mean your hearing is tested and assessed.

Discrete and almost invisible the latest aids can make such a difference and vastly improve your hearing. You’ll never regain what has gone, but you can make the best of what you have left.
