DOUG & STEVE THE STAG
2019 CHARITY CALENDAR Please purchase our calendar and support local fundraising! Back in 2016 Doug was diagnosed with Kidney cancer, which had spread to his Pancreas and Lungs. Despite various treatments and hospice stays, in August 2017 the cancer had spread to the Liver, and he was given a prognosis of 3-6 months. Doug now spends most of his time relaxing in Scotland, at Inverbeg Holiday Park on the banks of Loch Lomond. This helps with his recovery, and photographing the local wildlife and resident Stag ‘Steve’, gives him something to focus on. In 2018 he started a Facebook page for Steve, to share with others the photos he takes of his new friend, posting regular updates, and hopes other people enjoy his page and now this calendar as much as he does looking for Steve. This is a non-profit calendar, funded by various businesses, with all profits going to the two charities of Doug’s choice, Trinity Hospice and Cancer Research UK To order please contact Martin Patchett

Caring for your pet
L
ooking after our pets takes a lot of commitment and devotion. As they age, they may need more of our help, but by keeping a close eye on our pets, they can continue to lead happy and healthy lives into their twilight years. PDSA Vet Olivia Anderson-Nathan explains that many of the ailments old age pets can suffer from are similar to those we might expect to get ourselves. she says ‘It’s incredibly common for our pets to start to slow down as they reach their senior years but, with a little extra care and attention, we can treat or accommodate for many of the things that cause them to slow down. Regular vet check-ups help to spot problems earlier and mean treatment can be started sooner, helping your pet continue to lead a happy and healthy life. It’s important pet owners don’t dismiss signs of disease as inevitable due to old age. Stiffness, tiredness and changes to toileting habits are just some of the symptoms that may mean there’s a problem and it’s important to speak to your vet to see what you can do to alleviate symptoms and help your pet.’ Arthritis, dementia-like symptoms and most cancers are all more prevalent in older pets, as they are in people. Older pets are also at risk of other diseases like diabetes, kidney and liver problems and hormone imbalances. A check-up at the vet every six months, even if they seem healthy, will help ensure any illness your pet might be developing are spotted at an early stage, when there’s a better chance of successful treatment or management of many conditions. Signs your pet may be unwell are the same for older pets as they are for younger pets. In older pets, there are some subtle signs that it’s good to keep an eye out for: • Changes in weight (i.e. unexplained loss or gain) • Changes in energy levels (most often tiredness, but an unusual increase in activity is also a symptom) • Stiffness when standing up or walking, or
Looking after Old Age Pets PDSA advice on recognising signs of illness in older pets lameness that’s worse after resting • Changes in appetite (most often off their food, but being ravenous all the time is also a sign) • Drinking more • Changes to toileting habits (e.g. going to the toilet more than usual or toileting in unusual places) • Bad breath or sweet-smelling breath • New lumps and bumps or swellings • Seeming confused • Barking or meowing at night If your pet shows any of these symptoms, no matter what their age, it is worth getting them checked by a vet to get any health problems treated. Treatments and management
can include medication or surgery, as well as changes to your pet’s routine or environment (like offering ramps for arthritic pets, or feeding diabetic pets at specific times). It’s important to remember that many pets stay very healthy through later life, but spotting problems early often means treatment is more effective. Olivia adds ‘Even if your pet does develop an illness in old age, many can be treated or managed, ensuring they can lead a happy life. So if you’re worried about your pet’s health at any time, take to them to your vet as soon as possible to stand the best chance of successfully treating the condition.’

Down in the Park
A
£30,000 grant from the Lancashire Environmental Fund (LEF) has been awarded to the Friends of Jean Stansfield Vicarage Park to enhance the play area at the park in Poulton. This, in addition to funds of £22,000 raised by the Friends of Jean Stansfield Vicarage Park and up to £10,000 from Wyre Council means that the final phase of improvements to the play equipment can now press ahead. Work will take place next spring to replace the junior climbing frame and complete the refurbishment of the play area. This will include a tree top tower centrepiece complete with three slides, interactive play panels, a rope bridge ravine crossing and look out posts. Wyre Council is pleased to have supported the Friends of Jean Stansfield Vicarage Park, working on ideas for the project and helping to put the funding application together, and will oversee the work through to completion. Councillor Simon Bridge comments ‘This is a real boost for what is already a much loved space in the heart of Poulton. The friends group has worked tirelessly over the last few years to raise funds for the 26
park and together with the LEF grant and our funding, this money will make a real difference to the park and everyone who uses it.’ Steph Hasty is Chair of the Friends of Jean Stansfield Vicarage Park and comments ‘We are over the moon that we have been successful in our application for a £30,000 grant from the Lancashire Environmental Fund and along with the existing funding this means we can now move forward in replacing the old climbing frame and junior play area. We know this will be a huge enhancement to the park and we can’t wait for its completion and being able to see the children enjoy hours of fun.’

LINK-Mag Entertainment by Ann Montini
F
ormer Strictly Come Dancing finalist Jason Donovan, tells Ann all about Fame, Musicals, and why he is having a ‘midlife crisis’ on stage nightly.
Tell me more about you new tour ‘Midlife Crisis’
JD ‘I hit 50 and figured now would be a great time to tell all on stage, but it’s a great show and the questions from the audience are very direct, but again you are part of people’s history which is wonderful’
You were the biggest selling pop act of 1989, great memories?
JD ‘Of course, I was very young, so did not really appreciate it as you don’t when you’re that young, but looking back now, it was madness, but a great madness. I mean, what a feat to do that, but it was also down to great songs and having great producers in Stock, Aitken & Waterman.’
Strictly Come Dancing?
JD ‘Loved the show, and more so that I made it to Blackpool. I can’t begin to tell you the competition that there is to get there. It’s seen as the Mecca of the show and we all wanted it so I was very pleased that I got to dance on the Tower ballroom floor.’
What did you enjoy so much about Strictly Come Dancing?
JD ‘Well the outfits and what they did to turn you into a Prince, I mean some people don’t embrace it, but I sure did, and I liked what they did to me every week. I mean they make you look so good in that you really feel the character you’re dancing. It’s amazing really’
You are also turning to producing as well with Priscilla
JD ‘I have starred in the show many times, but when they offered me the chance to produce I jumped at it because knowing the show, I know what I believe the audience want to see, so it’s a very exciting time’
What advice would you give to others starting out?
JD ‘Work hard and grab the opportunities, because you will learn something from them and above all, keep working hard because a little rejection does us all good from time to time and makes you work harder’ 28
Especially for Blackpool
Ann Montini meets Musical star and 80s pop icon Jason Donovan
Priscilla Queen of the Desert is coming to Blackpool next year , what can fans expect? JD ‘It is Ann, well done. It’s at the Winter Gardens from the 21st to 26th October in 2019 and we want to see everyone there, ready to party and sing along. We want them to experience a wonderful night out
You appear to love Blackpool and came here last with the Hit Factory show – what is the appeal? JD ‘I do you know, and the appeal is the town is known all over the world as a party capital and to be asked to appear here is always an honour. I do think you have a vibrant entertainment scene, with visitors and locals really embracing it all – wonderful place’
Finally can we mention your other mega hit show ‘Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat’. Is it true you kept the famous coat, and still have it today? I do have it, but how do you know about that? Well I can’t wear it out and about can I, but yes on the final night I just slipped off home wearing it, and as of, yet no one has asked for it back, so I am happy about that’ Find out more about Jason at www.jasondonovan.com

LINK-Mag Recipe Serves 4 Preparation time: 15 minutes Cooking time: 45-50 minutes
You’ll need: 250g shortcrust pastry 325g plain cooked (vacuum packed) beetroot, drained 3 eggs 75g soft brown sugar 2tsp ground mixed spice ½ tsp ground allspice (optional) ½ tsp ground ginger (optional) 250ml double cream
American style Beetroot Pie Why not try this beetroot pie as an alternative to pumpkin this Halloween?
What to do: Preheat the oven to 200˚C/Gas Mark 6. Roll out the pastry and use it to line a 23cm loose bottomed pie tin. Line with greaseproof paper and fill with baking beans. Bake blind for 20 minutes. Whilst the pastry is baking, prepare the filling by pureeing the beetroot along with the eggs in a food processor. In a small saucepan add the sugar, all the spices and cream and bring slowly up to a simmering point. Pour into the food processor and mix thoroughly with the beetroot puree. Remove the pastry case from the oven and reduce the temperature to 180˚C/Gas Mark 4. Pour the filling carefully into the pastry case and bake for around 25-30 minutes. The edge should be puffed up a little and the centre will still be a touch wobbly. Allow to cool and chill in the fridge. Serve with crème fraiche. www.lovebeetroot.co.uk

Introducing us to some strange words Drong, Backman’s Warbler, Onager, Kattzen Klavier and Baldrick each of the girls gave a very convincing explanation of the words, all totally different, then we had to decide which was the true definition and which were false, a random choice seemed
to be the only way to win. This was followed by the three ladies and Ian giving an account of an incident or happening in their lives, we then had to say if they were telling porkies or the truth, no one got full marks and only one person received nil points. We all had a good laugh; Chris Seed gave the vote of thanks. Diary dates:- Mon 8th Oct Monthly Meeting 7.30pm URC Church Hall, Sandy Lane – a talk by the Bowland and Pennine Rescue Team.

WINDMILL PLAYERS PRESENT ‘THE ACCRINGTON PALS’ Tuesday 16th to Saturday 20th October, curtain up 7.30pm. Written by Peter Whelan ‘The Accrington Pals’ follows the story of the innocent and enthusiastic men who volunteered their services to their country after Kitchener’s calls for a New Army. Their experiences of life on the Western Front are contrasted with the women who are left behind in Accrington, women who come together as friends when facing financial, social and sexual deprivation, as well as being thrown into the social changes that came along with the absence of many men. The play has fun and light-hearted moments, which are starkly contrasted with the terrifying reality hundreds of men faced at the Battle of the Somme in 1916. Tickets £7 available from Wyre Theatres 01253 887693 or www.wyretheatres. co.uk.
