Welcome to our 12th Birthday Celebration issue! How did that happen?! It seems like only yesterday I had this hair-brained idea of starting a local magazine! As it’s our birthday, I decided to buy Look Local a present. It comes in the form of another local magazine! We’re delighted to add to our collection the ever-popular Ashtead & Leatherhead Local. It’s a great publication and a lovely area to add to our circulation. If you’d like to advertise your business in that direction, please give us a call, we’ll be happy to help. We have lots of interesting local news and events for you to read about in this month’s issue: under 8 footie news, an update on the Bookham Youth Project from Oli Bell and a little feature by one of my sons who has been working in Australia for the past two years; accompanied by his lovely girlfriend Lucy, he’s now travelling home via many different locations around the globe. A few weeks ago, they were in Borneo and went to visit the Sepilok Orangutan Reserve, which we’ve featured before in Look Local, as Orangutan Appeal UK, which supports Sepilok, is based right here in Bookham. I hope you enjoy Elliot’s account of their visit. I am so jealous, it’s certainly a place I’d love to go! News from the Bookham and Horsley Riding for the Disabled. It’s been too long since we heard about this wonderful local charity, and we’re delighted to include them in this issue. Another year on, and Rotary is hosting another wonderful brunch event in the Barn Hall. See page 53 for details. Of course, it’s the season for Christmas Fairs and shopping evenings, so do take a look at the notices and What’s On pages. Hopefully, there’ll be something there that you’ll fancy attending too. That’s it for now, lots to do here to welcome in our new addition, so I’ll sign off. Until next time, take care,

ASK BRUCE SECOND CHANCE

Look Local reader, Melissa, is planning to take on a rescue dog as a family pet, and asks where is the best place to start and should she consider a dog from overseas? Giving a rescue dog a second chance is a wonderful gesture and the rewards far outweigh any initial concerns. We have several rescue dogs at day care and they can make super pets. Patience is needed, as they may require extra support, love and time, particularly if they have had a difficult past. Interestingly, overseas rescue dogs are often very well socialised with other dogs because they have been used to being around them on the street or in groups at rescue homes. At Bruce’s Doggy Day Care, we are huge supporters of the Dogs Trust charity. They rescue, rehabilitate and rehome dogs, and have centres all around the UK that you can visit to find your forever friend. The benefit of taking on a dog from them is that they know all the dogs in their care very well and will ensure you get the right match for your lifestyle. For example, if you have young children or other pets, they will pick a dog that will get along with both. I suggest you check out their website and pop along to your nearest centre for a chat. They’ll be delighted to see you, as will their many residents! Bruce Casalis is director & founder of Bruce’s Doggy Day Care, a multi-award winning business in Bookham. Do you have any dog training or canine behavioural questions which you would like to ask Bruce? Send your questions to :-

BYP started in the Bookham community in September 2016, with Oli Bell as lead youth worker. The first term was spent meeting community partners, organisations, local businesses, setting up a programme for projects and building a team of volunteers and staff. We started projects in January 2017, with a variety of programmes for young people in the community at the Bookham Youth Centre and in the schools and churches. Over the year, we worked regularly with over 100 young people from Bookham on relational projects, offering a mixture of support, activities and engagement, with young people starting to take more ownership of projects. In order to know how best to support local young people, we went out and talked to some. Your Community Your Voice is the result of that; it is a youth research paper. We gathered data from 450 local young people from Bookham, asking them a series of questions about their community and their needs. This data was analysed and collated and can be found on our website www.leatherheadyouthproject.com or available in print on request. The main findings of the report were really interesting, showing us that young people want to be active and healthy. They want places to spend time in positive activities and be part of their community. They told us that they feel safe generally in Bookham, and 75% of young people have someone to go to when they have problems. However, this still leaves 1 in 4 young people who feel they don’t have someone to talk to when they need support. As Bookham Youth Project, we want to step into that place and offer young people the support, guidance and activities they need and deserve. The results from this have been helping to frame our work with young people. It is a valuable tool for anyone in Bookham looking to support young people, or who wants to hear what they think. For more information about the Bookham Youth Project or its results, please contact Oli Bell at LYP. oli@leatherheadyouthproject.com.

Sepilok Orangutan My middle son Elliot and his girlfriend Lucy have been living and working in Australia for the past two years. They are returning to the UK in December but before they come home, they are enjoying a wonderful travel adventure. As part of this, they spent a few weeks in Borneo and went to visit The Sepilok Orangutan Centre. We have featured the centre in Look Local before because the UK Orangutan Appeal organisation is based locally to us here in Surrey. I asked Elliot to send an account of their visit to share with you. I hope you enjoy hearing all about it. The world renown Sepilok Orangutan Centre in Malaysian Borneo rehabilitat orphaned orangutans which have either lost their homes & families due to agriculture, de-forestation or in some cases because they were previously kept as inappropriate pets, and have now grown too big for their ‘owners’ to keep. During a recent trip to Borneo we were lucky enough to visit the center and see the amazing work they’ve

18 Looklocal Magazine - February 2017

been doing. Helen the Liaison Officer for the UK Orangutan appeal introduced us to the staff and the chief veterinarian Dr.Nabila. Their enthusiasm for, and devotion to these wonderful critically endangered animals was very apparent from the off. We were shown a video about a young Orangutan called Alexis and her path to rehabilitation having been kept as a pet by a plantation worker. It is estimated that the Orangutan population will be reduced by 86% between 1973 and 2025. The center has been helping since 1964 and has seen two generations of wild Orangutan born as a result of one rehabilitated female. A wonderful reflection of their tireless work. Helen then walked us through the jungle, along a boardwalk to the outdoor nursery area, which had been built by the UK Orangutan appeal. We were delighted to see a collection of young Orangutans practicing their climbing skills on a playground of suspended ropes, platforms and hammocks all were designed to teach


Rehabilitation Centre them how to survive in the jungle and they looked as if they were having lots of fun as they swung and moved with such ease from rope to rope using their hands and feet and tails too (they don’t have tails). Even at this young age they were very adept and moved with such ease. It was a wonderful sight to see. After another brief walk along the jungle boardwalk we arrived at the feeding platform. Here the older rehabilitated Orangutans can feed twice a day to ease the transition into the wild. After waiting a while we saw a wild macaque monkey but no Orangutans. This is testimony to how well the program works; it means they have learnt to find their own food in the wild and no loner rely on the provisions provided by the center. Fortunately for us, at during the afternoon feeding we did see saw two playful, young (Mimi is a full grown female)Orangutans that Helen informed us were called Mimi and Itiban. They were swinging from the branches and really enjoying their dinner, such an

amazing sight. Lucy & I would like to say a very big thank you to Helen and everyone at the Sepilok Center for showing us around and teaching us all about this totally fantastic rehabilitation program. While the center is doing a great job in helping the Orangutans, they are still critically endangered creatures and greatly at risk. If you would like to find out more, donate or even visit Sepilok (which I would very much recommend) please visit www.orangutan-appeal.org.uk The charity run an Orangutan Adoption Scheme which makes an excellent present for Christmas for young and old alike and it lasts all year! You will receive updates and a photo of your chosen orangutan, and in these materialistic days, what a wonderful gift to give/receive. Contact www.orangutan-appeal.org.uk for more information.


Gardening Matters NOVEMBER TASKS Cecelia John 01372 200 000 or ros@looklocalmagazine.co.uk

Drizzling here and has been all day. I’m almost looking forward to the crisp, cold days of November. Almost, I said. Here are some November tasks. When cutting down spent border plants, mark the positions of clumps of lilies and other bulbs with a handful of sand/gravel so that you won’t damage them when working on the border next spring. Protect hardy fuchsias from cold damage with a thick mulch around the bases, and on heavy clay soils or where slugs are a problem, mulch tender perennials with a fine grit: it will keep the crowns drier than bark or compost would and can be worked into the surrounding soil next spring. Also, now’s the best time for planting barerooted trees and shrubs, as it gives them maximum time to establish before next spring. And keep an eye on seedlings: foxgloves coming up like mad is fine, weeds and grass isn’t. Move permanently planted containers (box, camellias, bay etc) to a sheltered place for the winter, ideally with some overhead cover against a wall. You may need to water them a little if it’s dry and windy for a long period. Or if you’re worried about good containers standing outdoors all winter, take the plants out of their pots and sink them into the veg patch. They won’t then blow over or need watering, or be frost-damaged as they might against a wall, and you can repot them next spring.

20 Looklocal Magazine - February 2017

Now, more general tasks. Clean all equipment before storing it over winter. Spare pots, seed trays and precious/frost-susceptible pots should be emptied, scrubbed, dried and stored away in a shed to prevent the spread of disease and destruction. Remove moss from terraces, steps and paths. They can become very slippery in wet weather and you really do not want Grandma in hospital with a broken hip for Christmas. Check suspect fence panels, and if a post is broken at the base, replace it soon: when one post is broken, the fence waggles in the wind and adjacent posts can break too. Petrol mowers can be taken away for servicing... and have the blades sharpened at the same time to save you the aggravation of blunt blades next spring. Lag outdoor taps and pipes, and move hosepipes and the timers of watering systems under cover for the winter. And if you’re bagging leaves to make leaf mould, make sure they’re wet first or they won’t rot: trying to wet them thoroughly in the bag is impossible. If they’re dry, wait for rain (probably won’t take long), or spread them out and put a can of water over them. Finally, amaryllis bulbs can be potted up now and kept in a reasonably warm, well-lit room. And last but not least, feed garden birds on a regular basis and keep bird baths topped up with fresh water. Now go and get cosy. And roll on spring.

Be in the Kitchen CAULI, CUMIN & CASHEW PILAF

beinthekitchen.co.uk | be@kassapiam.com | 01372 803 821

Guess what, I’m excited about this recipe!! I’ve been really getting to grips with superfast recipes for #studentcooking: Take Be to Uni! This is a private Facebook group and it is great fun… students can watch all sorts of cooking videos or just ask me to put one up for them. Their wish is my command! Keeping their health at the forefront, this recipe has appeared and the family have loved it. Keep an eye on the website for all our events, they are coming thick and fast! Beinthekitchen.co.uk/be@beinthekitchen.com

Ingredients: 2-3 tbsp coconut oil 1 small cauliflower, green leaves removed, roughly divided into 12 pieces (including stalk) 1 onion, peeled and quartered 3 cloves garlic, peeled and crushed 1 tsp ground cumin 1 tsp ground turmeric 125g cashews (100g + 25g) To serve: Roughly-chopped fresh coriander or mint leaves (optional) Raita (cucumber, garlic, mint and yoghurt sauce)

22 Looklocal Magazine - February 2017

Method: 1. Preheat the oven to 180°/Gas 5. 2. Put the coconut oil on a large baking sheet (with a lip) and place in the oven to heat up. 3. Place the cauliflower pieces, onion, garlic, cumin, turmeric and 75g cashews into a food processor. 4. Pulse briefly until chopped to a rough ’couscous’. 5. Remove the hot baking sheet from the oven, tip the cauliflower mixture onto it and toss in the hot oil. Spread evenly over the sheet and sprinkle with the remaining cashews. 6. Place in the oven and bake for 10-15 minutes when the cauliflower will be ‘al dente’ and the cashews toasted.

Other items of interest: During the last few weeks, we have seen an unusually high number of modem routers fail, in some cases the connections have just gone stale. To flush your router if you turn it off, disconnect the mains power lead and the telephone cable, leave it off for 10 minutes or so, re-plug the cables, then turn the router on. This may just cure your problem. If not, we have good stocks of routers for immediate replacement Great time to buy a printer? Epson has just announced some very aggressive offers on its printer/copier/scanner rang. In some cases, this includes 3 year warranty upgrades and up to £150 cash back directly to you. The offers vary from model to model, so please call in for more details Apple is just rolling out its new operating system (iOS 11), updated for phones and tablets. This will not work with older devices, probably older than 4 years old, and some of your favourite apps may also not work with the update, as the new system is a 64bit operating system and the older apps were designed for 32bit only. If you would rather stick with your old apps, you do not have to take the update, so take your time and make your decision carefully Bullguard has just updated its internet security engine to include the next generation anti-malware protection, improved firewall and new vulnerability scanner. If you already have Bullguard installed, the new version will automatically download and install. If you don’t have Bullguard, please ask about the various purchase options we have.

Honda Civic OUR NOVEMBER CAR REVIEW

By Ted Macauley

As any Formula One follower will tell you and eagerly supported by struggling double-champion Fernando Alonso, the Honda engine in the once-world-beater McLaren is a hapless and hopeless grand prix nonentity. Week in, week out, a very frustrated Alonso, the Spanish Flyer in slow-mo, has been dumped down among the also-rans because of the pathetic performance and the handiwork, or lack of it, of the Japanese engine makers. Maybe they should have replaced their GP power unit with one nicked from the company’s red hot hatch, the Honda Civic Type R, a real winner, or at least, talked over how to make an engine that hits the high spots of its crucial aims. The updated, uprated new entry onto the hot-hatch scene is unrecognisible from its predecessor which was up for grabs for less than two years and which struggled to make any sort of impression over and above disappointment because of its ride (which was too hard) on tyre noises that raided the eardrums. After a re-think at HQ, the brainbox engineers and designers sent a substitute into the reckoning, the brand new Type R, a real treat, with vastly improved set-ups all round, quieter, more refined but even sharper and neater, without ruining its general handling capability. Okay, the overall styling may be a wee bit bizarre

48 Looklocal Magazine - February 2017

compared with its impressive hot-seller rivals such as the Golf GTI, Mini Cooper S and Ford Focus RS, but it holds its own as full value for money and reliability on the move. Inside, the seating is superb and supportive, the cabin design stylish, the slick manual gearbox a treat. Throttle response is idea, the brakes are crisp and positive, the lay-out is practical, with easy-on-the-eye and reachable knobs and dials. Hot hatches exist basically in a very specialised zone and it is vital that their offbeat stance, compared with more sedate modes of transport, reaches into the real dynamics of motoring for fun and not just necessity for commuting or family transport. I must say that the rejigged Civic R covers the needs of practicality, economy and looks, with the added joy of being a genuine pleasure to drive around a town’s tight and busy streets or on the longer drags of motorways. Overall, it is sure to be a roaring and speedy success, unlike its flop of a big brother, blighting McLaren as a grand prix also-ran. Specification: price range £30,995 - £32,995. My choice, the fastest. VTEC Type R. BHP 320. Top speed 169mph. Acceleration 0-62 in 5.7 secs. Warranty: three years or 60,000 miles.

Report: Mole Valley WI MEETING 10/10/17

Meriel Sexton, our president, welcomed members, a visitor and our speaker Alan Aylward, a volunteer with the Woodland Trust. The business part of the meeting was brief and included updates on the various groups and a reminder of the Quiz Night on 21st October. Potted bulbs for Christmas were on sale from the gardening group and Marion Kemp was promoting her book of poems. Alan, who kindly stepped in at the last minute, spoke about the Woodland Trust, which was founded in 1972 by Kenneth Watkins. The Trust manages 10,000 woods, covering 50,000 acres; they have planted nearly 40 million trees and now have 500,000 members. Alan told us about Langley Vale Farm near Epsom

which was purchased by the Woodland Trust nearly 3 years ago. This is 640 acres of arable land alongside ancient woodland, dating back to the 1600s or possibly earlier. The Trust hopes to plant 200,000 native trees on the site, including beech, rowan and hawthorn. A Centenary Wood has been created recently to mark the anniversary of the First World War, and coincidentally, hundreds of poppies flourished in the summer months. Members were very interested in this project, as it is very local to us, and were making plans to visit and support the Woodland Trust. Next meeting at Fetcham Village Hall on Tuesday November 14th. Further details are on website. www.molevalleywi

Surrey Police Notice NEIL CLARKE, 13362 CRIME REDUCTION ADVISOR EASTERN DIVISION

Make sure your home looks occupied, even when you are not home.

I am the first to admit that I am not a fan of shorter days, with dark mornings and coming home in the dark after work. Part of me wishes that I could hibernate until next spring but somehow, I don’t think my employers would understand!! In particular, they would expect me to bang the drum about the importance of making sure that your home looks occupied, even when you are not at home. Opportunistic burglars can drive or walk along a street during the early evening, and a house in darkness will be the first thing that attracts them. Surrounded by other properties where the lights are on the house in darkness is very tempting. Also, there is far less risk of being seen as they attempt to gain entry – normally by getting to the rear of a property on the ground floor. Obviously, if the house in darkness has an audible intruder alarm, their attempts to burgle are likely to be halted as soon as the alarm sounds but…. Far better to create an impression that the house is occupied in the first place. Many people use simple timers to bring on lights when they go on holiday but the same deterrent effect can be employed during darker days and nights. Ideally, I would recommend at least three timers, so that lighting can come on and go off in a staggered pattern, with the aim of mirroring (as closely as possible) normal movement throughout the home. Most basic timers are plugged into a power socket and a

lamp is then plugged in to the timer switch. Nowadays, however, there are more sophisticated timers which can be put over the light switches on the wall, where they can bring on the main lights in a room. A little more expensive perhaps but they may well suit some people? Exterior lighting can also provide an additional deterrent, as it removes areas of shadow where a burglar can operate without being seen. Some people opt for motionactivated PIR lights, which come on when anything activates the sensors. Another alternative is to have dusktill-dawn lighting, which comes on when the natural ambient light level drops. The lighting then stays on until sunrise the following morning. Most dusk-till-dawn lights utilise low-wattage bulbs which makes them a relatively inexpensive option. The other simple thing that is so important when leaving your home unoccupied is the check that doors and windows are secured and locked and that the keys are not left in the locks, or where they can easily be seen from outside. I often suggest hanging window keys on a small cup hook, either on the wall behind the curtains or just underneath a nearby window sill. That way, they can still be found easily in the event that you need to get out in an emergency. As always, I am happy to visit any resident in Mole Valley and carry out an objective assessment of their security. This service is free, so if you would like me to visit, either contact me by email – neil.clarke@surrey. pnn.police.uk – or by telephone – 01483 630809.
