elcome to our October edition.

give Nicky a call in the office – she is the font of all knowledge about our local area!

I always love autumn. I think it’s my favourite time of the year with its beautiful colours, cooler evenings and weather which has not quite slipped into winter. Why not get out and about and take in the change in colours and light.

If you have something special happening in November or December, please let us know as soon as possible as the magazines always fill up quickly at this time of year. Yes the ‘C’ word will be mentioned in the office this week!

It seems everyone has come back from their holidays reinvigorated and we’ve had to literally lever everything in to the magazine this month! So much so in fact that I’m afraid we’ve had to lose our local group listings. We’ve included those that had updates but everything else can still be found on our website at www. thehandymag.co.uk (under community) or if you really need some local information, feel free to

RV Roger Apple Weekend Saturday 8th & Sunday 9th October 2016 10am to 5pm, with activities and demonstrations throughout the weekend. Hot drinks and tasty snacks will be available, as well as apple juicing demonstrations (and tastings!) from the Kirkbymoorside Fruit Group.

ou know the apples that you buy at the supermarket? Those, where there are usually only the same 4 or 5 varieties all year round, many of which are imported from across the globe? Well, instead of that, if you visit the RV Roger plant centre in Pickering on the 8th and 9th October, you will be able to join in celebrating the richness and diversity of British grown fruit, in their annual Apple Weekend. The plant centre will have displays of more than 200 fruit, including many rare and heritage varieties, and there’ll be fruit experts on hand, who you can talk to about all aspects of choosing fruit to grow in your garden, so that you can have apples you can really taste!. Admission to the Plant Centre and the apple displays will be free, and the gates will be open from

There will be the opportunity to talk to fruit experts from RV Roger, who can help you choose the right type of fruit trees for your garden or orchard, and select the varieties that best suit your taste. In addition, you can watch demonstrations of how to prune your fruit trees to get the best out of them, and get advice on what to do about pests and problems. The old adage of ‘An apple a day, keeps the doctor away’ has been strengthened recently by research from Oxford University. Apples contain lots of Vitamin C which aids the immune system, and phenols which help to reduce cholesterol. They also reduce tooth decay by cleaning one’s teeth and killing off bacteria. And, although nine in 10 of us do manage to eat at least one portion a day, Dr Adam Briggs and his colleagues from the British Heart Foundation’s Health Promotion Research Group at Oxford University, say that we would all benefit from eating more. By their calculations, if adults of all ages ate an extra portion of fruit or veg a day, as many as 11,000 heart-disease related deaths could be averted each year. Apple celebrations have been growing in popularity since Apple

Day was initiated by Common Ground 25 years ago. Common Ground describe the day as a way of celebrating and demonstrating that variety and richness matter to a locality. Common Ground has used the apple as a symbol of the physical, cultural and genetic diversity we should not let slip away. In linking apples with their place of origin, they hope that orchards will be recognized and conserved for their contribution to local distinctiveness, including the rich diversity of wild-life they support. And RV Roger hope to encourage this by stocking more than 200 varieties of apple, pear, quince, mulberry and plum, including many local and regional varieties not found anywhere on the supermarket shelf!

Highlights of the Apple Weekend will include:

• A display of more than 200 varieties of fruit • An opportunity to watch or take part in pruning demonstrations, • And, to get advice from experts on the growing of fruit • Books and tools available • Apple identification • Apple juicing and sampling from the Kirkbymoorside Fruit Group

GIVE OR TAKE DAYS The next Give or Take Day will be on Sunday 30th October, from 9.00 – 12.00 in the Kirkbymoorside Memorial Hall. Goods can be delivered from 8.00 am onwards on that day. The earlier you bring them the more likely they are to be taken. Even better they can be brought the night before, Saturday 29th October, between 6.00 – 8.00 pm. It’s called ‘Give OR Take Day’ not ‘Give and Take’. That is because you don’t have to give in order to take. All sorts of goods are given by people who no longer need them. Anybody can take anything that they want, if they can find a use for it. It isn’t a ‘deal’ or a ‘bargain’ and no money is involved. There’s nothing quite so liberating as clearing out a drawer, a cupboard, a whole room even, and knowing that all the stuff you don’t want will be used by someone else. There’s a big thrill in finding just the right little table, child’s bike or useful lawnmower, and being able to just take it home. Too much ‘stuff’ goes to landfill, and there is a limit to how much waste the planet can absorb. Of course the best answer would be to buy fewer items, and for them to be so well-made that they don’t wear out. However the wheels of commerce that drive the global system don’t like this approach. They can’t comprehend a world without ‘growth’ – but they may soon have to. We do live on a finite planet. I hope they have got a Plan B! See you in October. 10 • info@thehandymag.co.uk

‘BOMB HAPPY’ N

RAILWAY IN WARTIME PLAY

ew for 2016, The North Yorkshire Moors Railway is working with York Normandy Veterans and Everwitch Theatre to create an innovative new verbatim play as part of the annual Railway in Wartime event. The play will be based on the first hand experiences of D-Day and the subsequent battles to liberate France by the last five living members of York Normandy Veterans. ‘Bomb Happy’ will be performed on the 12th, 13th and 14th October at 8pm at Pickering Station, Platform 2, in an original 1930’s historic railway carriage. This extraordinary new play, built from testimonies of the last remaining York Normandy Veterans, explores through first hand experiences how at the tender age of 18 years these ordinary young conscripts found themselves part of the Normandy Landings. “The noise was horrific. We used to say we were bomb happy…after several months of constant shelling, you begin to get-it’s not shell shock – but we used to say we were bomb happy. And I could just feel that starting in myself, and I had to get out…” (excerpt from play). One such veteran, George Meredith, volunteered at the NYMR for 10 years restoring wagons, and has this month been presented with the Legion D’Honneur medal by senior personnel of the French Armed Forces, honouring his bravery. Aged just sixteen years old when he signed up for the army, George explains, “My friends who were eighteen went and signed up, and I didn’t want to be left behind! We wanted to fight for our country. The York Normandy Veterans are all getting older – there are only five of us left now. So it’s important to us that this project happens so that younger generations will know about our experiences.” Chris Price, General Manager at the railway said “The play is of vital importance as it documents what a great contribution the Normandy veterans have made to all our lives. The play uses the actual words of the veterans thus giving first-hand accounts of D-Day and battles in France, Belgium and Holland”.

of D-Day and the subsequent battles to liberate Europe, together with archived interviews held at York Explore. Tickets cost £15 per person, contact Customer Services on 01751 472508 and nymr.co.uk/ wartime/events-schedule/. This is a static 60-minute performance (It does not include a rail journey). Rehearsed reading of a brand new play. For further information on Railway in Wartime visit www.nymr.co.uk/wartime/

MEMORIES

Oil Boiler Care Plumbing & Heating

BY MARY MAHON

Our lives are in constant turbulence; currently many students are moving into their new university lives, people move jobs, move house, move schools. Change in life is inevitable, so one way of creating comfort is through a sense of familiarity. Memories are a vital part of humanity - they’re the sole reason we have advanced so far! Yet whilst remembering something seems so simple, the mechanisms of memories are vastly complex… Often the memories that appear so vivid to us are the ones we don’t want to remember. Unfortunately, experiences of fear can linger with us and years later people can still be haunted by childhood fears that plague their dreams, or traumatising moments of public humiliation remain. So why does our brain simply not erase or diminish these miserable memories and store the moments that gave us such a rush of positive emotion? Our memories are prioritised by emotion, so memories with strong feelings are resilient in our minds regardless of whether they’re positive or negative. Our personal memories are divided and organised into ‘chapters’ in our brain - essentially creating a cellular storybook of our life. Yet whilst our brains are very good at organisation, scientists have also recognised that false memories are very easy to implant. In theory, our entire lives could subconsciously be reinvented! If a seed of an idea is subconsciously planted in our mind, or an uncertain question is asked, our brain will develop it or invent details, coming up with new ‘false’ memories. The more we recall memories, the more distorted from the truth they become through being remembered slightly different each time – almost like a game of Chinese whispers! However, whilst false memories may seem like a scary concept, and our old, painful memories of loss, humiliation, rejection or fear may still affect us to this day, it is important to remember that your memories are what make you who you are. Bad or good, happy or sad, real or invented, all our experiences and memories affect us, so embrace them all, because they’ve helped to make you who you are today. 20 • info@thehandymag.co.uk

Celebrating 10 years in business

At Ian Townley Plasterers

an Townley Plasterers are celebrating 10 years in business this year and with almost 700 customers in that time, they really deserve to celebrate! Knowing the right materials to use, how to approach the job and ensure a durable finish with a quality surface is a real art. Calling in the experts for a plastering

job – especially a team of highlyqualified, apprentice-trained plasterers with more than 20 years’ experience between them – makes good sense, as it’s no job to skimp on. The team comprises Ian and Jake Skilbeck and they specialise in boarding, dry lining, wet plaster and normal plastering ie skimming. They also do small rendering of any type including new and old buildings such as churches, barn conversions and farm buildings. More of the team’s recent jobs have required lime work plastering

which is ideal for older buildings and conservation areas. They also take on damp proofing work. Ian said: “We pride ourselves on our professional and clean standards of work and very competitive rates which will be hard to beat locally. References are available for private customers. We also work with many building firms in the area and across Yorkshire.”

For professionalism and an expert plastering job, call Ian Townley or Jake Skilbeck

he people who are best qualified to speak for the benefits of Instyle Kitchens and Bedrooms are its customers. In fact, owner Gary Langley says more than 80 per cent of his customers come through referrals from their family, friends and neighbours. For example, James and Heather, from Wiggington, write: “You made the experience stress-free and were a great help from designing the kitchen right up until it was installed. Your team of installers were first rate and I couldn’t fault them one bit... The end result is exactly what we wanted and

more. The quality of the kitchen is excellent and I would not hesitate to recommend you to anyone.” Gary said: “Often, someone looking for a new kitchen visits us while they’re shopping around, but they place their order with us, because once they’ve mentioned to their family and friends they had a look at Instyle, people tell them ‘You must go with Instyle – they did my kitchen, my neighbours’ kitchen, my aunty’s kitchen’...” A kitchen is a long-term investment – but Instyle has received repeat business from some customers. Gary added: “One lady had

her second kitchen from us, because she moved house and wanted exactly the same kitchen as she’d had before. The kitchen in her new house was fine, it was only ten years old, but she said she couldn’t do with anything less than we’d fitted for her before.” After over 25 years of trading, Instyle Kitchens & Bedrooms has grown from a one-man band fitting one kitchen a month, to a six-strong team designing and installing three kitchens a week, plus bedrooms and P.V.C. windows.

Dalby Firewood :: Logo 1

“Quality is our middle name,” says Joseph Woodhead of Dalby Firewood. “Whether you’re looking for firewood, outdoor pizza ovens or hot tubs, we supply and deliver the best.”

delivery drop-off vehicles fit down most driveways and the delivery team will leave the logs in the bag without mess or stress. Crate deliveries are also arranged at a time to suit.

Based at Low Marishes between Malton and Pickering, Joseph said: “We deliver to London, Leeds, Hull and all over the UK from our North Yorkshire base and delivery is FREE to the North Yorkshire area.”

Pizza Ovens and Hot Tubs

As one of the UK’s most reputable suppliers of kiln-dried ash and seasoned hardwood logs, Dalby Firewood consistently supplies top-grade timber to their customers with their friendly, efficient service. All of the wood supplied by Dalby Firewood is certified with Woodsure, the UK’s only woodfuel quality assurance scheme. The scheme comprehensively checks wood fuel producers to ensure that they produce and supply wood fuel to the correct standard. To ensure perfect burn quality, Dalby Firewood also tests for moisture before despatch and firewood is delivered bone-dry and ready to burn. Joseph explained: “Seasoning means drying the wood out until it’s in prime burning condition. Freshly felled and chopped hardwood has about 50% moisture content. Trying to burn wood in this condition is harmful to the environment because it produces creosote, which can cause chimney fires. We season and dry our logs until the moisture content is 20% or less. This makes them 60% more energy efficient than at the time of felling, and guarantees an efficient, carbon neutral fuel that burns with a clean, bright flame. No seasoning, no roaring fire! “Our hardwood logs - eucalyptus, ash, birch and beech - are supplied and stored separately ensuring our customers receive the best quality logs for their purposes.” Delivery is made within five working days, dependent on location and the time of year as the team are generally busier during the colder months.

SAY GOODBYE TO BIG ENERGY BILLS

ith autumn creeping even closer, its time to think about how you’ll stay warm this winter. By tapping into the earth’s naturally renewable resources, Pickering-based Peak Power Systems can help you be kinder to the environment while heating your home and helping you reduce your energy costs. Peak Power Systems can help their customers cut their energy bills and take full advantage of government- backed schemes, which offer financial incentives for those who upgrade their old heating system in favour of new, efficient, cost effective systems, that are also cheaper to run.

RYEDALE • OCTOBER 2016 • ISSUE 125 Biomass boilers are fuelled by wood pellets, delivered directly to your fuel store. Heat pumps extract heat from the air, or the ground, and heat your home without the need to burn any fuel. Like a traditional gas or oil-fired boiler, these systems provide heating and hot water for the property concerned. “The first thing to do” says Debbie, “is to contact us and ask one of our fullytrained surveyors to visit your house to assess your heating requirements.

“These heating systems will run traditional radiators or underfloor heating, effectively replacing your current boiler. “There’s an easy online form for registration of new heating systems, after which payments will commence. These payments run for seven years, and in many cases will pay substantially more than the cost of the system. “Commercial buildings can also receive the RHI, but the registration system is different for commercial customers.” Although the Feed in Tariff has

now been reduced, you can still expect a return of between 7%10%, so as well as benefiting from free electricity, it is also still a very good investment. Peak Power Systems encourage new customers to ask for their free initial survey, as this would indicate which type of renewable energy is right for them.

Physical prints are still an integral aspect of digital photography according to Paul Crick Fine Art Photographer. Paul says that traditionally photographers, including how he started himself many years ago, recorded images onto film stock, which needed to be developed and printed in order for the image to be viewed. In this digital age you are probably more used to looking at images on your smart phone, computer screen or sharing low quality images on social media sites; this has largely become the way that people think of photographs these days. Paul thinks that a lot of people have lost sight of how impressive a large well printed and framed image looks on the wall. This fine art image is 90cm x 120cm or 4’ x 3’ in old money, it makes a statement focal point and looks stunning on any wall. Although Vivien and Paul do work in colour, the black and white fine art prints that they specialise in are simply brilliant. These fine art prints are dependant upon the quality of the lighting to create the light and shade, which creates the depth and contrast in the images. To facilitate this their well equipped photographic studio is completely blacked out, ensuring total control over the lighting.

Once the images have been developed they also need to be printed and framed to a very high standard; this sort of quality is not found with a high street printing service, so to ensure the quality of their prints, they have invested in a large format photo printer and do their own in- house fine art printing. They get their frames made with a local craftsman and mount the images into them themselves to ensure the quality and confidentiality - but you would expect nothing less from a skilled and professional photographer. Digital images are fine for their intended purpose, you will receive some together with the video compilation that Paul puts together of your shoot. These are placed on the memory stick that is positioned in the bottom of your luxurious hand made presentation box. The box also contains the printed physical images that are mounted in strut mounts as part of their photographic packages. Please see: www.pcphotographics. co.uk for full details, or call Paul or Vivien on 01653 668110 to discuss your requirements.

TLF?? TENDER LOVING OF FEET

eing honest just how much time do we set side to care for or pamper our feet each day? Or even just to look after them? We spend ages on our hair and our makeup, even just having a shave this morning took me 4 minutes! But we don’t even give our feet that! We get up wash and then they are pushed into socks or stockings then shoes or boots. Or in the summer straight into slippers and sandals.

As part of our daily wash, if we check our feet, we are more likely to spot problems before they become major issues and so can deal with them before they cause excessive pain.

your feet less prone to problems. But never fear! If you feel you need assistance with a foot care problem help is only a phone call away.

Gents, you have work shoes and boots but having two pairs and alternating between them can help the health of your feet. Ladies, the above is also true for you, as is varying heel height which can make the difference and make

‘The more the merrier’ as Scampston prepares to welcome Ryedale’s residents’

n the 8th & 9th October, Scampston opens its gates for its bi-annual Community Weekend, offering free entry to all local Ryedale residents.

“We were so thrilled to see so many new faces and families last April, we have decided to re-open to residents at the tail-end of the open season. There was such a fabulous atmosphere here in the gardens, and we were really keen to recreate that, or even to top it!”

Following the huge success of the last Community Weekend in April, Scampston has decided to again invite local people to the gardens for free on the 8th and 9th October. Scampston welcomed nearly 1000 locals into the gardens in April and it is hoped that even more of Ryedale will take advantage of the invitation on this occasion. Chris Legard, owner of Scampston Hall & Walled Garden, commented:

“We have chosen this weekend in October as it will allow visitors to see the transition that the garden goes through across the seasons. It was designed by Piet Oudolf to have a different character throughout the year, but still to maintain its striking beauty. It is known for being quite a late garden, so there will still be plenty to see!” “As it generates such excitement

in Ryedale, we hope to run in it on two weekends in the future. Please do check our website for the next date in April 2017!” To gain entry to the Walled Garden and Parkland at Scampston on the 8th and 9th October, residents are asked to bring proof of a Ryedale postcode. Opening hours for the gardens and the Garden Café are Tues – Sun, and Bank Holiday Mondays, 10am – 5pm. The gardens close for 2016 on the 30th October. For more information about opening times and prices, visit www.scampston.co.uk, email info@scampston.co.uk or call 01944 759 111.

STAPE SILVER BAND

PICKERING’S LOCAL BAND

tape Silver Band have had another really busy year. The Spring/Summer programme started in April at the Pickering Memorial Hall and featured the training band as well as players from the Junior school with their tutor Jeannette Kendall. The band then went on to perform at Scarborough’s Peasholm Park in June and at the Filey Bandstand in July. Thornton le Dale welcomed the Brass Band again at concerts on The Green on 24th July and 7th August. On the 10th September the band played at the Kirk Theatre in Pickering to a ‘Proms Evening’ theme, playing music by R Vaughan Williams, Elgar, Parry and traditional brass band music. The Band will play on Smiddy Hill during Saturday afternoon of the Pickering War Weekend. The programme will feature music from the wartime era which is always popular with the audience.

On 18th December, the Band hosts its own annual concert for Yorkshire Cancer Research in Pickering Parish Church at 2pm. This year is the 50th anniversary of giving these concerts and they are planning an extra special event to celebrate. New players are always very welcome, so if you are interested in playing, please contact Mike Breckon on 01751 472224. The band has a training band which practices on a Tuesday evening so if you wish to learn, whatever age you are, come and join us. Instruments are provided and tuition given.

NEW PRESIDENT FOR RYEDALE LIONS 50TH ANNIVERSARY Ryedale Lions Club has a new President as it prepares to celebrate its 50th anniversary. David Warin, of Pool Court, Pickering, takes over the post with the aim of promoting the Lions traditional role in fundraising and providing support to those in need in the local community. “The world has certainly changed a lot since our local Lions club was founded 50 years ago but we still have many disadvantaged individuals and deserving community groups in our area who look to organisations like ours to give them help and financial support,” said David. David is a well-known figure in the area for his community efforts and was awarded the MBE in 2013 for his work with his wife, Janet, in promoting road safety in local schools for many years, following the death of their 17-year-old son Daniel in a car accident in 1995. He retired 20 years ago as deputy head at Norton School. Since then he has been heavily involved in voluntary work across the wider community of Pickering including bereavement supporter at St Catherine’s Hospice, volunteer at the hospice’s shop in Pickering, and the organisation and provision of Christmas Day meals for the elderly at St Peter and St Paul Church, where he was also a member of the parochial church council and deputy church warden. Not only is it the Ryedale Lions Club’s 50th anniversary this coming year, but it also marks the centenary of the international Lions organisation. With around 50 members in the Ryedale Lions sharing a common interest in wanting to help others, the club is now regularly raising over £20,000 a year and lending a hand at a wide range of local events. The club also operates a fleet of more than 50 mobility scooters to help those who would otherwise be housebound to retain their independence. 60 • info@thehandymag.co.uk

Stunning bathrooms on any budget

A quality bathroom on pretty much any budget can be yours with help from Paul Chaplow Plumbing and Heating.

aul is an experienced tradesman with 30 years in the business, and is fully qualified and registered with GasSafe.

BEAUTIFUL BATHROOMS

Paul specialises in fitting exquisite bathrooms that will have –as both he and his happy customers put it –the ‘wow’ factor. He said, “I take pains to use the best quality materials from local merchants who I personally trust. When it comes to the supply and installation of a new bathroom, if it wouldn’t be good enough for my house it isn’t good enough for my customers either.” Paul prefers to source all the bathrooms fixtures and fittings himself, so he can guarantee the quality of the finished bathroom. He works to your budget, advising on how to allocate it

sourcing suites and fixtures at the best possible prices and guaranteeing incredible value for money. It’s a completely effortless service for the customer –he’ll project manage everything from start right through to decorating. All you need to do is pick up the phone each evening while work is under way for Paul’s update on how things are progressing. Fans, glass screens or even complex spaces that need a bit more expertise to work with are all part of Paul’s specialties – he has even installed a television into a customer’s bathroom!

ADVICE AND PORTFOLIO OF PREVIOUS WORK

Free consultations and quotes are available to anyone thinking of having a new bathrooms installed. Paul has an extensive portfolio of images from work he’s completed in the past which as well as giving an idea of what he can do, can also inspire your design ideas.

CENTRAL HEATING

Paul Chaplow Plumbing and Heating specialize in installing heating into new builds or extensions. As well as traditional gas central heating installations, they are also happy to install increasingly-popular under-floor heating.

LEAD WORK SPECIALIST

Lead work on roofs and around windows is most often carried out by leadsmiths –but it was traditionally part of the plumbers’ job, and Paul’s apprenticeship included full training. Loft conversions and roof extensions with dormer windows often benefit from a more intricate type of lead flashing, which Paul can take care of, along with traditional lead bay windows and box gutters.

No job too big or too small. 30 years experience. Plumbing, Heating & Leadwork Specialist info@paulchaplow.co.uk 45 The Ridings, Norton YO17 9AP

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!

NEW SUPPORT FOR YOUNG HOMELESS IN RYEDALE

he youth homelessness charity SASH is delighted to welcome new colleague Nicky Taylor-Olsson, the latest member to join their team in North Yorkshire. Nicky, a resident of Pickering for 34 years, will be helping some of the most vulnerable young people in Ryedale and Scarborough and her first challenge is to find more volunteers to join SASH. SASH works across North Yorkshire and offers

accommodation and support for vulnerable 16 to 25 year olds with nowhere safe to stay by offering them a room in the home of a volunteer. The focus is on preventing homelessness, by ensuring that problems are resolved early on and enabling the young person to continue with their education or employment despite a crisis. The young people are then helped to move into their own, independent accommodation. Nicky says: “Being in a home environment with dedicated support is the best solution for most young people who find themselves homeless. We are particularly short of hosts in the Malton area. No special skills are needed, you just need a spare room, an open mind and a willingness to help young people in your community. I would love to speak to any people in the local area who think they could help.”

For more information, visit www.sash-uk.org.uk or call the SASH office on 01904 652043

TRACTOR RUN RAISES £92,000 FOR AIR AMBULANCE Organiser Bernard Simpson said “When we held the first run in 2002 we were hoping to have 100 entries and to raise £3,000 for the Air Ambulance, but the event has grown in popularity over the years, and we now regularly have over 200 tractors coming to take part from as far afield as Scotland, Liverpool, Newark, Retford, and the Lake District.

epresentatives of the Beadlam Charity Tractor Run held in May this year recently presented a cheque for over £8,000 to the Yorkshire Air Ambulance bringing the amount raised over the last 14 years to a staggering £92,686.

The 50 mile scenic ride through many villages and market towns of our beautiful Ryedale countryside is a great day out for the participants whose entry fees and sponsorship along with collections from the crowds of spectators along the route have helped to raise a substantial sum for a very worthwhile charity. We are very grateful to all those who take part, and in particular to all our helpers - stewards, clerks, caterers and collectors who give so much of their time to make it such a success. Next year will be our 15th anniversary and we are hoping to reach the £100,000 mark”.

It is estimated that approximately 45 per cent of dogs become stressed and fearful while fireworks are going off, yet many owners are unaware of how to help their pets with firework fears and the precautions that can be taken to help them cope with their fear of loud noises. Here are some hints and tips to help keep your pets happy during the fireworks season: 1. Provide a den or hiding place for your pets 2. Use an Adaptil® for dogs or Feliway® for cats diffuser as close to the den or hiding place as possible, or where your pets spends most of their time 3. Keep dogs and cats inside during fireworks and check that their microchip is up to date 4. Walk dogs early in the evening before fireworks start 5. Ensure windows, doors and cat flaps remain closed during the firework season to both prevent pets escaping and reduce the noise 6. Ensure your cats have access to enough litter trays during the firework season, especially if you’re keeping them inside 7. Provide distractions in the form of new toys and chews. Draw curtains and put the TV or music on to mask any noise 8. Do not punish your pets! This will only make them more distressed 9. Try not to leave your pets alone when fireworks are going off 10. Continue to use Adaptil or Feliway after the party or fireworks season ends. Prepare hiding places and plug in diffusers the week before fireworks start and do give us a call to discuss your concerns. Consider your small pets and horses too, using blankets or increasing the depth of their bedding for pets to hide in and checking whether there are any displays near where your horses are kept, and bringing them in where necessary. For further information on how to prepare your pets for the firework season, please call Station House Vets on 01653618303 and visit www.adaptil.com/uk or http://www.feliway. com/uk Copy deadline for the next edition is Tuesday 4th October

LUNGWORM

Battle Flatts Veterinary Clinic

The lungworm (Angiostrongylus vasorum) is a parasite that can cause serious health problems in dogs and can even be fatal if not diagnosed and treated.

dog eats slugs and snails, but is not showing any symptoms, arrange a check up as a precaution. Not all worming products are effective against this particular parasite

Slugs and snails carry the lungworm larvae, and dogs can become infected when they accidentally (or purposefully) eat these common garden pests whilst rummaging through undergrowth, eating grass, drinking from puddles or outdoor water bowls, or pick them up from their toys.

Lungworm & cats

The lungworm Angiostrongylus vasorum is now endemic throughout much of the UK.

The signs of lungworm

Lungworm infections can result in a number of different signs, which may easily be confused with other illnesses, but improved detection methods including blood test and poo sampling mean more and more cases are now being confirmed. Some dogs don’t initially show visible signs of infection but there are a few things to look out for. If your dog is displaying any of the signs below, consult your veterinary surgeon immediately. Coughing, tiring easily, excessive bleeding from even minor wounds, nose bleeds, paleness around eyes and gums, weight loss, reduced appetite, sickness and diarrhoea, depression, lethargy and sometimes seizures (fits). Some dogs will happily ignore a snail or slug, but many will want to investigate. Dogs have plenty of opportunities to come into contact with slugs and snails on walks. They hide in grass or under objects left in the garden, and seek out areas of moisture, such as outdoor water bowls, puddles and ponds. You can never be sure where they are lurking, but spring and autumn are peak times for slug and snail activity.

Cats can become infected with another type of lungworm (Aelurostrongylus abstrusus). However, infections seem to be rare and the outcome tends to be not as severe as in dogs. If you are worried that your cat may be showing symptoms similar to those described for dogs (particularly coughing), speak to your vet.

Lungworm & humans

The lungworm (Angiostrongylus vasorum) is not known to infect humans. However, dogs and cats can carry roundworms, which can cause diseases in people, so make sure you keep your pet’s parasite protection programme up-to-date.

ACanLOVE STORY...TEDDY AND MINDY you give this fabulous pair their happy ending? It’s not often that we choose to re-home dogs together, but we couldn’t separate this loved up pair. Teddy and Mindy are approximately 31/2 and 21/2 years respectively and although they came to us from different places they have become very good friends while at the kennels and it has been decided that in their interests we need to look to home them together. Teddy is a big bundle of fun, whilst Mindy is a quieter, shy lady. They love to run and play, so a home with lots of secure outside space would be ideal. If you think you could offer this fabulous pair the loving forever home they deserve please contact us on 07581 324153 to arrange a homecheck.

In azure skies, the lark held sway, And sang his heart out day by day. That selfsame sky is mute today, With frowning, leaden clouds in place. The thistle’s once proud purple crown, Has tousled plumes of wispy down, And trees have donned a golden gown, The changing year moves on apace. Now weary fields are under plough, And furrowed, like a troubled brow. The Summer is withdrawing now Into her silent carapace. Clive Milson

Reading and writing fans can look forward to a weekend full of varied and vibrant events at the fifth Ryedale Book Festival weekend coming up this October. The weekend kicks off on Friday evening in Helmsley with Yorkshire poet, broadcaster and comedian Ian McMillan and Cartoonist of the Year, Tony Husband. The two funny men will be cooking up poems and cartoons with help from the audience – suitable for anyone aged 7 to 107! Local expert on Dyslexia, Barbara Pavey will be speaking on her specialist subject of Dyslexia in Children in the Malton Library whilst Andy Seed entertains the more mature members of the community with his newly published poems for OAPS! Both

of these events are free. Those people seeking a rare “literati” experience should book early to secure a seat at a luncheon table with American author, Man Booker judge and former literary editor of The Times Erica Wagner. Saturday night promises more laughter from two talented young women; Nat Luurtsema and performance poet Hollie McNish followed by a bedtime story for grown-ups told by Ian Douglas. As always there are a host of imaginative and affordable activities for children and families including pottery painting, biscuit decorating, slam poetry and much more. Teens can enjoy meeting

Irish writer E.R. Murray and the author of summer hit “Girl out of Water. Festival Director, Sarah Tyson says, “This year’s programme is very much the result of a community effort. This makes our literature event so unique. We have managed to include subjects that we hope have relevant and are therefore of interest to a local interest. “We are once again grateful to the volunteers who work throughout the year to make it happen and of course the contribution of the local businesses should be acknowledged because without their generosity and support the festival could not continue.”
