DO YOU REMEMBER?

e don’t seem to get winters like this any more. Can anyone recognise this local snowbound scene? Many of you instantly spotted that last month’s photo was Rivelin Valley Road, which was built in 1905 providing work for 176 unemployed men. The following year 700 lime trees were planted and we showed young Bessie Walker taking a walk in the snow in 1920. Regular Sixer correspondent Joe Castle instantly recognised the location and pointed out that the trees in question, now mature and rather magnificent, are at the centre of the disputed tree-felling being undertaken by Sheffield Council as part of a £2.2bn PFI highway maintenance contract.

Get on track MAKE GOOD ON YOUR INTENTIONS BY CHOOSING RESOLUTIONS THAT ARE REALISTIC AND ACHIEVABLE, WRITES PHOEBE SEYMOUR. very January, we set ourselves resolutions with the best of intentions. And yet by February, most of us start to slip back into our old ways. Last year, Bupa published a poll based on 2,000 British people which found that out of those who said they would be setting a new year’s resolution for 2017, half were not confident they would stick to it. With this kind of attitude, it’s no surprise we fail to keep them. So what is it about our resolutions that leaves us feeling as though they are unattainable? Bupa found that around one in five people also admitted to setting overly ambitious and potentially unsustainable goals, while psychology professor Peter Herman and his colleagues have identified what they call the ‘false hope syndrome’, meaning our resolutions tend to be significantly unrealistic and out of alignment with our internal view of ourselves and so our minds reject them. From losing weight to saving money, each resolution requires us to change our behaviour, which ultimately means changing our mind-sets.

E

Here are some tips to help you keep your mind on track and to help make your resolutions more achievable this year. 28 Sixer | www.sixermagazine.co.uk

BE REALISTIC If your resolution is too ambitious, it will be unrealistic to achieve. Your chances of success are much greater when you channel all your energy into changing just one aspect of your behaviour. So rather than vowing to lose weight and cut out drinking, concentrate on lowering your calorie intake and doing more exercise – and allow yourself the odd glass of red from time to time. Diets are about everything in moderation, and the same goes for your goals. BE SPECIFIC The more specific you can be, the more you can break your resolution down into smaller, more manageable goals. Another thing which tends to happen with non-specific goals is that they are easier to put off and you’ll be tempted to keep moving your goal posts. Instead of saying, ‘I want to lose weight this year’, say ‘I want to lose two stone this year’ so you will have a clear target and know when you have successfully met it. @SixerRMC


FEATURE

RECORD IT

When it comes to our resolutions, many of us find it much easier to talk the talk, than we do committing to the walk. By recording your goal, you make a conscious commitment to working toward achieving it. Write down your resolution or even make a chart where you can track your progress regularly and place it somewhere it can easily be seen such as above your desk where you work, on your bathroom mirror or on your kitchen fridge. DON’T GIVE UP

Finally, if you do come up against some obstacles or fail to meet your short-term goals, don’t beat yourself up about it, and most importantly, don’t let it discourage you.

MEASURE IT

Another reason the resolution ‘I want to lose two stone’ works so well is that it can be tracked and regularly measured. Goals that have deadlines are also a great way to motivate you. ‘I want to lose two stone by my son’s wedding in July’ is therefore a more effective measurement of your success, while, ‘I want to lose four pounds each month’ is even better, as it can be measured regularly and in the short-term – just remember to keep it realistic. MAKE IT EXCITING

People are often put off their resolutions because they can feel like a chore. You may happily tuck into a bowl of vegetables and quinoa for a day or two, but after two weeks of eating the same meal, not so much. If you are aiming to eat healthily, create a varied and interesting menu. The same applies for long-term goals. Instead of saying, ‘I want to save money’, adding a reason such as, ‘so I can take my children to Disneyland’ gives you something positive and specific to look forward to.

HEALTHY EATING

Eating for health RACHEL MARTIN’S GUIDE TO THE SUPERFOODS YOU SHOULD BE INCLUDING IN YOUR DIET THIS YEAR. ccording to Mintel’s 2018 global food and drink report, plant-based diets are set to explode into the mainstream this year, and in a bid for optimal wellness, 'superfoods’ are now seen as a direct pathway to radiant health and boundless energy. While in 2017 we turned to the healing properties of turmeric, macadamia nuts and maca powder, this year edible clays, matcha

A

and hemp products are set to be huge, according to experts. And the new alternatives, though a little strange sounding on the face of it, claim to offer myriad health benefits and are of course environmentally sustainable. Here, Southside takes a look some of the health food trends predicted to be huge in 2018, and reveals what could well be set to become your new nutrition normal.

Hemp Seeds These small seeds are rich in essential fatty acids and polyunsaturated fatty acids, including omega-3s, which can help fight coronary heart disease, cancer, and even symptoms of depression. Hemp seeds are also a rich source of the polyunsaturated fatty acid gamma linolenic acid, or GLA, which has been known to help with a number of maladies, ranging from allergies and attention deficit disorder, to lowering cholesterol levels.

Chicories Haven’t heard of this one? Chicories are those bitter winter greens like endive and escarole or purple radicchio. They are a good source of vitamin C and may also help boost heart health.

POMEGRANATE Pomegranates are known for their antioxidants and are an excellent source of fiber and vitamins C and K.

Matcha Chock full of polyphenols, matcha is lauded for its anti-aging properties. Importantly, it may help lower the risk of certain cancers and heart disease. And if you’re trying to stay focused on your goals this year, sip on this. Matcha is known to boost mental alertness too without the jitters you might get from other caffeinated drinks.

Activated Charcoal Activated charcoal can help you get purer skin and whiter teeth, as well as absorbing the standing tannins found in drinks like coffee and red wine.

Açai

SEAWEED Unlike their land-bound counterparts, sea-grown vegetables are packed with omega-3 fatty acids, which may prevent sudden heart attack and stroke. Seaweed is also full of important minerals, such as bone-friendly calcium and magnesium, as well as iron, potassium, iodine and zinc.

42 Sixer | www.sixermagazine.co.uk

@SixerRMC

Native to the rainforests of South America, the açai is a small purple berry that has been touted as a weight-loss and anti-aging aid. The fruit contains very high levels of antioxidants in the form of anthocyanins, which help fight cancer and heart disease.


HEALTHY EATING

GOJI BERRIES Goji berries have become a common sight on supermarket shelves, and for good reason: they contain a lot of vitamin C. Native to Tibet and Inner Mongolia, these orange-red tangy berries have been used by Chinese herbalists for centuries to treat visual ailments and poor circulation and to help boost the immune system. Scientific research has yet to support such claims, but there’s no denying that goji berries are rich in plant-based antioxidants and compounds.

Chia Seeds Native to Mexico, these nutrient-rich seeds have become all the rage among superfood seekers. And it’s no surprise - chia seeds are packed with omega-3 fatty acids, fiber and calcium.

Nutritional Yeast Not to be confused with active dry or brewer’s yeast, nutritional yeast is made from deactivated yeast and has no leavening power. It’s a great source of protein and fiber and is also among the only vegan-friendly sources of vitamin B12, which is essential for normal brain and nervous-system function but found mostly in meat and dairy products.

Black Garlic Black garlic has long been prized for its health benefits, but it became widely available in Western markets only a few years ago. The black bulb is created by fermenting raw garlic through prolonged exposure to heat and humidity, giving it a sweet, mellow flavour and an inky hue. In addition to the sulfuric compounds that provide garlic with its heart-healthy and anticancer benefits, the fermented cloves are a source of important probiotics.

Kale

GREEN TEA This ages-old health secret has been used as a natural remedy for everything from cancer to heart disease. The secret to this delicious drink? Antioxidants. The main superhero here is Epigallocatechin gallate, or EGCG, a phytochemical that slows irregular cell growth, which could potentially help prevent the growth of some cancers.

Move over spinach, you've got some fierce competition. Kale contains a type of phytonutrient that appears to lessen the occurrence of a wide variety of cancers, including breast and ovarian. Though scientists are still studying why this happens, they believe the phytonutrients in kale trigger the liver to produce enzymes that neutralize potentially cancer-causing substances.

Salmon Salmon contains omega-3 fatty acids, which the body cannot produce by itself. These fatty acids reduce inflammation, improve circulation and increase the ratio of good to bad cholesterol. Salmon is also a rich source of selenium, which helps prevent cell damage, and several B vitamins.

QUINOA This teeny-tiny, grain-like seed packs some serious nutritional prowess. With a mild, nutty flavour and a texture similar to rice or couscous, quinoa is one of the only grains or seeds that provides all nine essential amino acids our bodies can't produce themselves. And it's filled with protein - eight grams per one-cup serving, to be exact.

SIXER HEROES

YOUNGSTERS CHAY AND FALLON RAISE THOUSANDS TO HELP LUNG DISEASE SUFFERERS LIKE THEIR GRANDAD, GORDON. In the swim: Fallon, Gordon and Chay

LITTLE SUPERSTARS he young grandchildren of a lung disease patient were so touched by the story of his care, that they raised thousands of pounds for the Sheffield Hospitals Charity backed group which has supported him. Gordon Harrison, aged 60, from Dronfield, was diagnosed with chronic and progressive lung disease: Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF) five years ago, leaving him breathless and relying on a home oxygen supply. His grandchildren, Chay (nine) and Fallon (six) raised £2,000 for Sheffield Hospitals Charity to help fund the Sheffield Interstitial Lung Disease (ILD) Support Group, which has supported Gordon and his wife Lynn throughout his diagnosis and care. Gordon said: “At the start of my diagnosis my symptoms were easily manageable, but over time I have become more and more breathless, and I’m now on a waiting list for a lung transplant. “The seriousness of the illness, its progressive nature and my long term prognosis has required lots of soul searching and management. I could not have done any of these things without the support of my wife Lynn, our family, our network of friends and the Sheffield Interstitial Lung Disease (ILD) Support Group. “The group was formed so that patients can meet up together outside the hospital environment and share experiences of coping and living with the disease. It is focussed on mutual support, learning and research. It ensures that everyone remains positive and can maintain the best quality of

life - and it works. “I could not be more proud of Chay and Fallon. The idea of doing something to help me and the support group was exclusively theirs. The last length of their epic swim marked a seminal moment for our family and one which we will never forget.” Chay and Fallon’s mum, Cheryl, said: “The Sheffield ILD Support Group has been a great help to Gordon and my mum. It’s really important to have the opportunity to chat with other people who are, or have been, in a similar situation to yourself and who can provide practical advice and answer those difficult questions that only people who’ve been there can do. “The kids decided to do a sponsored swim to try and raise money for their Grandad as they wanted to help him get better. They are both extremely close to Gordon and look up to him a great deal. We all share days out and holidays together. “Chay swam 2km and Fallon swam 1.6km – the equivalent of 144 lengths. Neither of them had done anywhere near this distance before, we were amazed. They are little superstars and we’re so very proud of them.” As well as Chay and Fallon’s fundraising, Jonathan Hardwick at Ryehill Wealth Management, who is Gordon’s financial advisor, donated a further £2,000, and an extra £1,000 from other sources brought the total to £5,000.

WE’RE ON THE HUNT FOR HEROES Never mind Superman or Wonder Woman... Sixer is on the look-out for some real life local heroes. We know there are lots of people out there who dedicate a huge part of their lives to making the world a better place for others. We’re taking about people like John Burkhill (far right), our very own prampushing, wig-wearing, fund-raising legend. He’s the Man with the Pram, who has dedicated his life to raising money for Macmillan Cancer Support. Quite rightly, John has become an instantly recognisable and widely praised local personality because of his tireless efforts to improve the lives of others. But we know there are many more inspirational characters out there whose stories deserve to be shared. That‘s why Sixer is searching for the heroes and heroines who are really making a difference in our community. Do you know someone who is going that extra mile to raise funds for a good cause or make a difference in their community? Has a friend or relative overcome adversity and channelled their energies into helping others? Please let us know... so we can share the good news in Sixer every month.

In with the new! FROM NEW FACES TO NEW TREATMENTS, THERE’S LOTS TO DISCOVER AT KALEIDOSCOPE. t’s a new year and there are plenty of new and exciting developments taking place at Kaleidoscope for 2018. The salon recently welcomed two new members to their team. Lilly and Alison have many years of experience in cutting and colouring between them, and look forward to meeting all their new clients. Kaleidoscope have also introduced new opening hours to meet their clients’ demands. Furthermore, the salon is delighted to now to be using the Wella range, which includes the WellaPlex bond treatment. Bond treatments have become very popular in salons all over the UK over the past few months. WellaPlex is a three-step treatment, which repairs much of the damage caused by colouring and discolouration, to create reinforced and resistant hair. The WellaPlex No1 Bond Maker is step one and helps to create bonds within the hair during lightening or colour services. This is mixed with your colour, enabling optimal lift and penetration of dye molecules, while helping to reconstruct inner hair bonds for stronger hair. Step two is the WellaPlex No2 Bond Stabilizer, which further strengthens the bonds, rebalances pH and strengthens the hair structure after chemical treatments, while step three is the WellaPlex No3 Hair Stabilizer and should be used at home following your in-salon service to keep the hair strong,

Hair stylist and owner of Kaleidoscope, Gina said: “Wella is a fantastic range because it’s affordable and great value, as it creates a long-lasting and vibrant colour thanks to its WellaPlex bonding treatment. “We’ve already seen some fabulous results with our clients and look forward to using the products on our new and regular clients in the New Year.” Gina and her team are experts in all aspects of colouring and colour correction, as well as offering perming, re-styling and everyday styles.

The weight loss is on the move... IF YOUR NEW YEAR’S RESOLUTION IS TO LOSE WEIGHT, TWO NEW LOCAL SLIMMING WORLD GROUPS COULD HELP YOU TO REACH YOUR GOALS. n January not only will you find the dogs at Sheffield Greyhound Stadium but there will be a new Slimming World group. Alistair Brookes has lost over four stone following Slimming World’s Food Optimising plan. He will now be helping his own Slimming World members when he launches his new group on 16 January. “Like most men I thought slimming clubs were for women and expected to be eating nothing but salad. But the minute I walked through the door I realised that nothing could have been further from the truth. There’s a real mix of people – men and women of all ages – and we have a great time. Plus with Slimming World’s Food Optimising eating plan, no foods are banned,” said Alistair. “I’ve learned how to cook healthier versions of my favourite meals like curries, steaks, burgers, roast dinners, fry-ups, and fish and chips – even enjoying the odd glass of beer too. Every week in group we share new recipes and handy tips.” Lori Kitchin launched her Slimming World group in January last year and knows only too well the amazing satisfaction you get from helping members lose weight and live happier healthier lives. “This really is the best job in the world as far as I’m concerned. Having lost weight myself I know what an enormous difference it can make to your life and so being able to help people to change their life like I have is the most rewarding thing,” said Lori.

56 Sixer | www.sixermagazine.co.uk

As well as running her group at Stanwood, having a job and three primary school aged children, Lori loves helping people and from January she will be taking over the Thursday evening group at Tabernacle Church in Hillsborough. “As a franchisee I love being my own boss and I’m lucky to have the flexibility to continue to enjoy my other work, busy family and social life. I always believe that you get out what you put in and that’s certainly the case at Slimming World. “With the number of people you can help, the excellent training and support you get and with the generous financial returns, I’d recommend the role to anyone looking for a rewarding job,” adds Lori. Local team developer Jo Groves said: “All of our consultants originally joined us as Slimming World members, giving them an understanding of what it’s like to struggle with their weight and all have had success on the plan. Personal qualities are so important and we look for warmth, energy and enthusiasm, good listening skills and, most importantly, a caring non-judgemental nature and a genuine desire to help people lose weight – giving people the confidence to achieve their dreams is our ultimate mission and you don’t get a better sense of purpose than that.” Please see the advert for your nearest group and for consultant opportunities in your area, email Jo at jogroves@sky.com. @SixerRMC

Steve Lelew lost 3st 2lb

STEVE AND HELENA LELEW WERE AMAZED AT THE RESULTS AFTER THEY DECIDED TO LOSE WEIGHT WITH THE HELP OF ALEVERE THERAPY AT G&M HEALTHCARE. f you are looking to transform your life and lose weight rapidly, choose the Alevere Therapy. Trying to lose weight can be a slog, especially in the early days when carrying those extra pounds can make exercise all the more challenging. That’s why Steve and Helena Lelew decided to get a head start, with the Alevere Therapy at G&M Healthcare. Dr Grace and her team are on hand throughout the process, providing a friendly, supportive and professional service. “We’d lost weight in such a short space of time, and once we’d got down to our baseline weights it was easier to keep it up,” says Steve. “We now have much more energy and more motivation to exercise.” Steve had tried diets and slimming groups in the past, and even a similar weight loss treatment five years ago, but the weight had slowly crept back on. “I’m approaching 60 now and one thing that really motivated me was a few years ago when I went to an event with my twin brother. He weighed a stone more than me R TE AF

and someone said, ‘Is that your older brother?’ It was then I realised that being heavier can make you look much older.” This time, Steve was more determined and committed than ever before. And doing the treatment and diet plan together with his wife, meant they were able to support each other to stay on track. “I didn’t like the idea of a gastric band, but I wanted something with quick results, that would keep the weight off long term.” “They do three things. First of all you have an ultrasound where they find and deal with those bits you can’t lose through exercise. Second, they use an LPG machine to give you a skin tightening treatment. They then give you vitamin supplements and instructions of what you can eat. “Our therapists Sarah and Leyanne have been really nice and helpful. They’ve been on the plan themselves and it was reassuring to have regular check-ups once a week. “We also saw Dr Grace at regular intervals, who was very thorough and informative about the programme. We had lots of tests and she

explained why each stage of the diet was important.” The whole process took 12 weeks, in which time, Steve had lost 3st 2lb and Helena had lost 2st. This meant Steve had gone down to 13st 2lb, whilst Helena was delighted to ditch her size 14 wardrobe in exchange for a slim size 8. Now at what Steve calls their ‘baseline weights’, managing their diet has become much easier. “I didn’t used to like vegetables, but after being weaned off the supplements, I actually craved them! Now we go to the supermarket and we know what a healthy trolley looks like, so it’s been a massive education too. “I used to see slim people and think ‘I want to look like that’ and now I do. Helena says she feels like a new person. I actually came home the other day and was surprised to find her boxing. We’ve been getting so many compliments – I feel younger!” And it’s not just their appearances and attitude to fitness that have changed. It’s improved their general health too. “We feel more positive. Our cholesterols and blood pressures are both down, which is amazing!” Despite being more motivated than ever to keep the pounds off, Steve says he still gets to give into temptation from time to time. “When I’ve been low and started creeping down to the fridge, Helena will stop me. Although you can get away with the odd treat and bounce back.” Looking back over his whole weight loss journey, would Steve recommend Alevere to other people? “As long as you stay committed and fully embrace all of their advice, it’s well worthwhile. It’s nice to know that G&M do other treatments too, but neither of us want to go back to our old lifestyles now!” G&M Healthcare & Alevere Sheffield 5 Broomfield Road, Broomhill, S10 2SE Tel: 0114 268 6128 www.gandmhealthcare.com Sixer | www.sixermagazine.co.uk 59

A new era for G&M Lunt EXPERIENCED FUNERAL DIRECTOR MARTYN JOINS OLD-ESTABLISHED FAMILY FIRM. he clocks may be going back but things are moving forward at G&M Lunt, family funeral directors for over 80 years. Michael Lunt has announced that Martyn Askew, who is Woodseats born and bred with over 40 years in the profession, has joined the company as director of funeral services, responsible for the day to day running of the company after many years’ experience managing the John Fairest Funeral Homes. G & M Lunt was established by George Lunt in 1932 with his wife Mabel, son Jack and daughter Mary, who joined the company as the business grew. Michael joined in 1969. In 1976 George passed away and Mary’s son Andrew joined in 1985. Sadly Jack passed away in 1987, so Michael and Andrew ran the business together until Andrew retired. Michael carried on running the business for many years with the support of his dedicated staff. Now time has come to hand over the reins to Martyn, a friend for over 40 years and an outstanding funeral director. Michael Lunt will still be actively involved in the business on a day to day basis.

It is like coming home, and I am looking forward to working for such a well-established and much respected funeral directors as G & M Lunt.” While G & M Lunt are moving forward, the core values that have enabled them to help grieving families and loved ones when they are at their most vulnerable remain at the heart of everything they do. With this very firmly in mind they offer the following, to ensure peace of mind to anyone faced with the task of arranging a funeral: a personal family service at all times home visits to make all necessary arrangements private Chapel of Rest and Service Chapel

BITS &S PIECE New records mark Percy Pud’s 25th year This December, runners laced up their trainers as Sheffield’s most popular 10k race. the Percy Pud, returned with 2,519 athletes taking part. In its 25th year, the popular Loxley race in which all runners receive a Christmas pudding, took them along the picturesque Loxley Valley on the outskirts of Sheffield. For a second year in a row, both the male and female course records were broken, and each winner was given a £1,000 cheque. Local runner from the Hallamshire Harriers, Andrew Heyes, took 15 seconds off last year’s record, completing the course in 29:42. While Rio 2016 Olympic finalist Eilish McColgan finished in 32:32. Percy Pud will return once again for Christmas 2018.

Music at Wisewood Inn The Wisewood Inn is fast becoming one of the places to catch local musicians perform. The pub held two music nights before Christmas, featuring singer Lindsay Dracass and pianist Lewis Nitikman. The intimate Cellar Bar room was filled to capacity and the audience enjoyed a selection of ballads and a good few Christmas songs. Local photographer Andy Harris captured the magical event and commented on the fantastic atmosphere, as well as the delicious food. The gig was organised by Lynne Robertson, who is building a reputation for organising great music events around Sheffield. To find out more, join Lynne’s Live Lounge group on Facebook.

LEARN FRENCH THIS NEW YEAR Et Voila is a small private school of French, situated on Ben Lane/Dykes Hall crossroads, opposite Tesco Express - its colourful frontage is sure to catch your eye. The school is run by Christine Gloppe, who is French and has taught the language in England for a number of years. Their students want to learn French for a number of reasons. Some have properties or are holiday makers, while others want to give their brain a good workout. Students range from absolute beginners to those who have studied French before and want a refresher course. The teaching is very thorough and all aspects are covered including writing and grammar, but the main focus is developing the ability to understand spoken French and speak it yourself. Teaching groups are small and there is a friendly atmosphere, with chatting (in French of course) encouraged over a cup of tea or coffee and biscuits. To find out more, visit www.gloppe.co.uk.

Three national kickboxing titles for Sheffield

S6 EVENTS

Sheffield’s Powers Martial Arts has triumphed in the Premier Corporate K1 Kickboxing event, with three of its fighters scooping International Sport Kickboxing Association (IKSA) titles. The family event, sponsored by supply teacher recruitment specialist, PK Education, played host to a capacity crowd at the Mercure Hotel. It was a clean sweep for the martial arts centre, which won all of the categories it entered. Powers MAC fighter Blayne Armitage, who was sponsored by Sheffield-based PK Education, won an English ISKA title, while fellow Powers MAC fighters, Nicolae Pirogan and Nathan Riddle both scooped British ISKA titles. More than 50 young people from Powers Martial Arts took part in the daytime event, competing in a number of demo fights ahead of the five K1 kickboxing title fights Paul Powers, owner and founder of Stannington-based Powers Martial Arts Centre said: “Giving young people exposure to the benefits of martial arts is something I’m a big believer in. By hosting events in the daytime at weekends, and incorporating demo fights with youngsters aged 12 to 16 in the shows, we are able to make the sport as inclusive as possible.” Supply teacher agency PK Education works closely with Powers Martial Arts, providing martial arts training and personal development sessions to schools in South Yorkshire. PK Education has recently collaborated with Powers Martial Arts to give away a free training session to secondary schools in South Yorkshire and North East Derbyshire. To enter the competition, email pkeducation@ebusinessworks.co.uk by the end of January. To find out more about PK Education, visit www.pkeducation.co.uk.

Welcome to my office – views from the roofs of S6 Simon Slater of Slater’s Aerial Services has a different ‘office view’ to most of us – a rooftop vista of Sheffield. But can you guess exactly where in S6 he was when he took these photographs? To find out, follow @SlatersAerials and @SixerRMC on Twitter – the answer will be revealed at the end of each month. Last month, we asked you to guess which European island Simon was in for a chance to win a Christmas hamper. Check back next month to find out who won. @SixerRMC

Sixer: Looking back IT’S BEEN ANOTHER BUSY YEAR HERE AT SIXER. WE’VE MET SOME INTERESTING PEOPLE AND HEARD ABOUT THE INCREDIBLE THINGS THEY HAVE DONE. HERE’S A LOOK AT SOME OF THE HIGHLIGHTS THAT MADE 2017 SO SPECIAL. BY HANNAH SANDERS.

JANUARY

MARCH

We began the year with a focus on Rebecca Hammond, the leader of Save Rivelin Valley Road, Hillsborough and Wadsley Trees campaign group. In 2012, Sheffield City Council signed a 25-year private finance initiative deal with contractors Amey to transform Sheffield’s roads “from some of the worst, to some of the best in the country.” Back in December 2015, The Independent Tree Panel was set up by the council to discuss those roads where more than 50 per cent of residents disagreed with the felling of trees. “Out of the 31 marked to be felled, about 26 trees were because of pavement damage, surface damage or – and this is illogical – the roots might be damaged because of the resurfacing. We’re not asking for anything hugely radical, we’re just asking for good practice to be implemented in Sheffield like it is elsewhere,” said Rebecca.

Here at Sixer in March, we were bike mad as the 2017 Tour de Yorkshire was just weeks away. Sponsored by Maserati, the tour offered a unique mix of Tour de France delivery, and combined with the Yorkshire hospitality and beautiful scenery it really was a day to remember. Taking place on the third and final day of the Tour de Yorkshire, stage three was a gruelling 194.5km ride with the journey starting in Bradford, moving towards Grassington via Ilkely before heading back down through Skipton, Keighley, Halifax and Huddersfield, to the finish line at Fox Valley.

APRIL

MAY

Two-year-old Jordan Reid was diagnosed with childhood ATRT (atypical teratoid rhabdoid tumour) in summer 2016, a very rare, clinically aggressive tumour of the central nervous system, and, in April Sixer writer Rachel Martin talked to grandad Kevan Adams. He was reaching out for volunteers to help him create a back garden ‘oasis’ for his grandson. “Jordan comes alive when he’s outdoors,” said Kevan. “Towards the end of last year we decided to make a safe area outside of the house for him to play in, including a new playhouse. Being disabled myself, I knew I was going to have to ask a lot of people for help, but thanks to the kindness and generosity of the local community our vision is becoming a reality.”

@SixerRMC

Some of the world’s best musicians were tuning up for the internationally acclaimed Bradfield music festival in June. Celebrating its 20th anniversary, the festival was one to remember this year as some of the finest musicians including Austonley Brass took to the stage. Outstanding pianist Benjamin Grosvenor (left), along with singers Elizabeth Watts, Nicky Spence and Christopher Ainslee, also performed this year. In addition, the concert included recitals from 2017’s two recipients of the Festival Young Musician Awards, as identified by Sheffield Music Hub.


RETROSPECTIVE

JUNE

JULY

June shone the spotlight on both the Stannington Carnival and Oughtibridge Gala. This year Oughtibridge’s theme was inspired by the Legend of the Dragon of Wantley, and kicked off as usual with a parade through the village followed by the grand opening at Coronation Park. Stannington Carnival was full of the usual favourites, along with a range of new stalls and entertainment from a dog show to facepainting and meet and greets with popular Disney characters.

SEPTEMBER

Sheffield is the real ale capital of the world and to the discerning ale drinker it’s the public houses that, over the years, have put the city on the map. In July we looked back on some of these beloved establishments. Mark Liversage has produced a book entitled Closing Times, which focuses on some of these establishments and where they were then and now. Mark’s book is a follow on from his father’s, Michael Liversage: The A-Z of Sheffield Public Houses, published around 20 years ago.

OCTOBER

The spotlight was on Richard Dunk in September, as he and a team of six took on the challenge of swimming the Channel. Richard grew up with a love of swimming and making the lengthy journey across the Channel was one of his life ambitions. A few years ago he joined Yorkshire Outdoor Swimmers. The team of six undertook months of training and, before attempting the feat, each individual team member had to do a gruelling twohour qualifying swim in water with the low temperature of 12 degrees. They swam well over 20 miles which took 15 hours – three hours longer than planned.

NOVEMBER

October saw the remarkable story of Nathan Hill. When Nathan was 13 months old, he contracted a viral brain infection, which left him with learning difficulties and problems with both his sight and hearing. Nathan has always been determined to live an independent life, and after leaving formal education, he enrolled at Henshaws College in Harrogate, a charity supporting people living with sight loss and a range of other disabilities. In September 2014, Nathan’s Craft’s and Tea Room opened on Stannington Road. With the help of carer Sam Webster – a baker in her own right – Nathan makes lunches, cakes and, in addition to working in the kitchen, he also takes on front of house roles. He also attends WI, assists with an S6 food bank and competes for Sheffield’s Top Club Athletics.

DECEMBER

Sixer writer Hannah Sanders met up with Percy Pud race director Richard Dunk ahead of this year’s run. Celebrating 25 years, the popular Loxley race, in which all runners receive a Christmas pud for their efforts, takes them along the picturesque Loxley Valley on Photograph: Steel the outskirts of Sheffield. City Striders The Percy Pud run raises more than £100,000 annually for charities, and this time the money raised went to St Luke’s Hospice in Sheffield along with Changing Faces. The race was run in memory of Strider Trevor Burton, who sadly passed away during the summer and a special Percy Pud mug was sold with proceeds going to the British Heart Foundation.

@SixerRMC

In December the Sixer team decided to invite schools in the local area to draw a festive image for our front cover. We asked pupils from primary schools in the area to design a cover with a festive theme and a splash of colour. It could include a nativity scene, Father Christmas, a local landmark or all three. The rest was up to their imaginations. After much consideration, Maverick Kelley was crowned the winner for his festive depiction of the old Dyson Industries factory in Stannington.

In your time of need... THE BEST POSSIBLE SERVICE AT THE BEST POSSIBLE PRICE – THAT’S THE PLEDGE FROM I DID IT MY WAY. Did It My Way based at the Niagara, Sheffield 6, continue to pride themselves on keeping their costs low, and they are constantly striving to provide the best service, at a price people can afford. A funeral can be conducted with dignity, respect and love without having to spend a fortune, and their funerals are testament to this. Their straight-to-crematorium service currently stands at £1,820 and can be attended by close family members. There is no service but this allows mourners to say goodbye in a way that best suits them. This service will also be booked at the family’s convenience. Just because there is no service does not mean that the family’s wishes should not be honoured at a time which best suits them. I Did It My Way’s basic service is priced from £2,310 (cremation only), with no other

I

costs to pay. A colourful coffin depicting the client’s life, or something special about them, with the hearse and a limousine, is fullyinclusive from £3,060 (cremation only). The price remains the same for a wicker coffin, which also prove to be very popular. The pre-payment business is increasing daily; an increasing number of people are

planning ahead as death and dying are no longer regarded as taboo. Peace of mind for families at such a difficult time appears to be made much easier when their loved one has planned ahead. There are no worries with a prepaid funeral, and the price quoted now is what you will pay, regardless of the date it is needed. Steve and the team pride themselves on the level of service they offer, they believe in acting in their clients’ best interests at all times. For enquiries please phone 0114 327 4936.

Maintain your motor GIVE YOUR CAR THE TREATMENT IT DESERVES THIS WINTER AND VISIT SMITHY GARAGE. hile many of us may rely heavily on our motor vehicles in our day to day lives, sometimes we may not be getting the best out of them. Smithy Garage in Bradfield can take care of all motor needs from servicing to repair, and also offer a number of services to ensure vehicles are running as cost efficiently as possible. This includes a re-chipping service for diesel drivers, where an electronic chip is inserted into the car to increase fuel efficiency and improve the overall performance of the car. Another money-saving service available to diesel drivers is the regeneration of Diesel

W

Particulate Filters (DPF). This diesel particle can be costly to replace, but Smithy Garage are one of a number of nationwide approved dealers who can offer alternatives to a complete replacement at a fraction of the price. Rather than charging inflated prices, Smithy Garage operate a fair and honest pricing system, building up trusting relationships with customers. Owner Steve Hammond believes that sustaining these relationships is the best way to attract business and many of their customers come from recommendations. The garage also offers a full MOT service. “Drivers often think they have to go back to the garage they bought their car from to be

serviced or get their MOT, but they don’t,” said Steve. “These garages will often charge a heavily inflated price and tell you that you have to pay it to keep your warranty up, but that’s not true. As long as you get your service book signed, your warranty is valid so why pay dealers’ prices?” Smithy Garage make life as easy as possible for the customer, providing a full pick up and collection service so your car can be repaired at your convenience. They appreciate life doesn’t stop just because your car is in need of repair, so can provide a loan car or van while your vehicle is out of action. They cater for any make and model of car, from Reliant Robins to Bentleys. “We’ve got so much experience working on a vast range of cars,” said Steve. “We couldn’t say we specialise in just one make – we specialise in them all. Our extensive experience means that we will take on most jobs and take on challenges that other garages won’t.” In particular, the garage has a great deal of experience with four-wheel drives in any make or model. If you find yourself in a car dilemma or it is due a service or MOT, Smithy Garage can provide a friendly and professional service that won’t cost you the earth.
