Intro

We have all waited what seemed like four months’ till payday and can once again eat and drink as we wish, well until March when we start to panic about our summer bods!

If you would like to advertise, list a classified item, tell us about your local event, contribute in any way or simply want to get in touch please see below.

I am pleased to say last month’s edition had zero grammatical errors or spelling mistakes in it, it’s just a shame we sent the wrong one to the printers lol.

January is done!

Last month’s front cover really put us on the map, literally! The response was incredible, so much so we have launched our ‘S41 cover challenge’. Each 2019 edition will see a different local Artist or Designer take on the task of creating a bespoke S41 Local front cover.

At the end of the year we will publish all the art work and ask you, the reader, to vote on your favourite! Only one will be crowned ‘Cover Artist of the year 2019’.

Delivering S41 is a mammoth task to say the least.

Without the support of our friends and family I think we would still be delivering our Christmas edition! We simply cannot thank you all enough for your time and effort. Although the pint in the pub after is a start!

Please continue to send us your good news stories and local events, we will do our best to publish them for you.

We have some fantastic articles and great prizes to be won in this edition and hope you enjoy reading it as much as we like writing it.

Peace, love and positivity

It's a dogs life Doggy birthday parties!

There is no better party to attend than your best friends!

Words: Simon Paterson Images: Three Cottages

All your mates that you haven’t seen in ages are there. You get to reminisce about old school days and tell exaggerated stories of the past (never let the truth get in the way of a good yarn), eat drink and be merry!

Well what if your best friend is a dog?

Most dog owners would say that their best friend IS their dog. They love you unconditionally, never pass judgement and give the best cuddles after a tough day at work.

John and Nicky at the Three Cottages are fellow dog lovers who believe it’s time we celebrated our best friends’ birthdays in style; Say hello to ‘doggy birthday parties’.

The Three Cottages is a perfect place for a canine birthday. Take your best friend and his mates out for a long birthday walk and then head over to the Three Cottages for a birthday party. I know what you are thinking, the world’s gone mad, but bear with me!

The Three Cottages recently hosted their first ever doggy party and the owners loved it! With doggy beer, pawseco (yes that’s right, pawseco) and a

function room big enough to hold lots of dogs and humans, it is the obvious choice to celebrate your best buds’ birthday.

Why not plan some activities on the day?

• Pin the nose on the Pug – Find a photo of your favourite Pug and get it printed in A1 size. This will make an excellent poster for the game!

• Musical sit – Everyone shouts sit when the music stops. Last dog to sit is outta there!

• Name the breed – Prepare a quiz. On A4 paper place pictures of different dog breeds and ask the owners to identify them. Don’t forget the quiz prize!

• Competitions– award prizes for ‘waggiest tail’ ‘naughtiest dog’ or ‘best trick’ Don’t forget the birthday cake Everyone loves cake and that includes dogs.

Cakes by Bobbies Den make the best cakes full stop!

P.S don't forget the doggy bags To book your best friends birthday party call the Three Cottages on:

Bekah Anstey Am I doing it right?

Words & images: Bekah Anstey

J

anuary has been a ‘nice’ month. After a hectic Christmas and New Year, it’s been good to make few plans other than the odd family party. I always find January a bit of an odd month, everyone is in a lull as they’ve spent up at Christmas, drank far too much alcohol and feel overweight after eating all the mince pies and quality street's (or roses in my case). This January was very much the same as every other, we didn’t see a lot of friends as we’re glad for a break after overindulging in friends’ parties and nights out. It’s nice to just lock the door, take stock and do nothing. Although saying that doing nothing for me is working full time, running a new venture, keeping two children, the hound Zack and a Simon alive by feeding them and generally being the house maid picking up everyone’s pants and socks. Does anyone else find it infuriating when all other humans in your house can’t seem to separate their pants from their leggings/jeans before they go in the washing basket? This is my life.

The highlight of January for me has been my work with Young Enterprise, I’ve had the opportunity to work with lots of Year 10 students on employability and enterprise.

It really makes me happy when you meet students and they have no idea of what running a business means, at the end of the day they have so many ideas of what they could do to start a business. I met one student who may well be starting his own clothing line, if you’re reading this don’t forget my freebies.

work. Am I doing it right, should I do things differently? I keep telling myself ‘my way is the best’ I know my child and know what she needs. I keep trying to adopt the ‘my way is best’ in all other aspects of my life but I don’t think it’s going down to well with Eva and Simon – ‘let’s have Soya milk from now on’ Eva – ‘no it’s disgusting’ That’s pretty much the end of that conversation.

March is going to be a very exciting month, I have Florie’s 1st birthday which I’m yet to plan for (no judgement please). I’m also going to be an Auntie to little Penelope who is due at the end of March, I’m vey excited to see if she has the Anstey features (hopefully not the Anstey nose though no one wants that).

I have the wonderful Young Enterprise Trade Fair on the 7th March, be sure to come and see some of my student teams in town from 9am, we will be based in the precinct. This year see’s teams from St Marys RC High School, Mount St Marys, Brookfield, Eckington, Dronfield Henry Fanshaw and Lady Manners. You’re sure to pick up a unique gift for Mother’s Day! I hope you all enjoy our third edition with hopefully fewer typos… each edition is a learning curve!

Have a wonderful March.

Bekah

Florie has had her ten-month MOT and thank goodness she passed with flying colours, it’s always a worry when someone you don’t know is checking your hard Page 6

L

ife is great and I am beyond privileged to live the life I do, but it doesn’t come without hard work, focus and dedication.

My typical day starts between 5:30am and 6:00am when the Kraken awakes (Florie).

We go down stairs, I make her breakfast which usually consists of Ready Brek (classic), toast or some weird baby stuff in a beautiful package! I will then sit on the floor and read the Guardian via the app on my phone whilst squeezing various baby toys that make a variety of noises, none of which anyone wants to hear in a morning (excluding babies and dogs!).

The daily bathroom battle begins around 6:30am, which I always lose because I am a boy and the girls needs are a priority!

I am 100% sure that every dad has this problem. Dad’s rank just below the dog in the table of importance!

Around 7am I will start my working day on either the magazine or my Project Management position, deadline dependent!

I absolutely love both my jobs. They enable me to work for a purpose and not just a pay-check. Knowing what I do on a daily basis makes the world a slightly nicer place to live is my driving force and very important to me.

I usually arrive in the office by 8am. My office is in Chesterfield College about a 10-minute walk from my house. I joined the cycle to work scheme last year in order to save the environment and stay fit. My bike has been sat in my office now for a couple of months and hasn’t moved! It makes a great ornament although a little bulky. Hey no one is perfect!

I have the most fantastic team of staff.

They are beyond dedicated and share the same passion to shape young minds, raising aspirations and building skills sets. Days are extremely diverse, one minute I am reviewing data on a report,

the next I am on Facebook live launching a competition or on the train to London to work from Amazon’s head office (they have three different types of water available from one tap, crazy!)

I can’t remember the last time I had a lunch break! My time is very limited, so lunch is spent on the magazine. Despite this I still appear to be increasing my BMI on a weekly basis. S41 is a pleasure to write, design and deliver...you get to meet truly inspirational people like our S41 Local Hero’s Alysha and Joe. I am thinking about holding a S41 Local Hero’s of 2019 party, what do you think?

I leave the office around 6pm for my favourite part of the day, family time. As soon as I walk in the door I am greeted by big smiles and meaningful hugs. Bekah is an absolute star and has not only kept the kids alive post nursery and school, but fed, watered and entertained them, no mean feat! We sit at the table to have our tea and catch up about our days (no phones or Ipads are allowed). I’ll then play for with Florie for a while before putting her to bed. It’s Daddy’s job to do bed time and I wouldn’t have it any other way.

The laptop is back out for around 7:30pm cracking on with magazine. Either Bekah will be writing an article, or I will be designing. We make such a good team.

By 9pm We both have nothing left, make a cup of tea, get in bed, pass out! We take it in turns to do the night shift with Florie but we generally both muck in.

So, this is the routine. I am aware that this cannot be sustained long term, but one year of sheer hard work can put you five years ahead professionally and personally, so game on, let’s have it!

I’ll retire at 50, if I make it that far!

Tired but happy.

Simon

Bottle & Thyme...

At Any Time Words: Paul Chapman Images: Bottle & Thyme and Facebook

W

hether it’s breakfast, morning coffee, relaxed lunch, afternoon tea, after work drinks, an evening meal or a catch up with friends, Bottle and Thyme’s evolving offer will be the right place for you.

The ambience, the food and the drinks change throughout the day – and the friendly, flexible team work to accommodate your needs.

Gavin Grainger invited us down to experience and sample their Friday evening offering of two cocktails for £10 and live acoustic music.

Even though it was early February we arrived to find the place bustling with a post-Christmas party, whilst couples and groups of friends were enjoying an evening meal or calling in for cocktails on their evening ‘round town’.

We’re not connoisseurs of cocktails so we were pleased when knowledgeable Rhianna assisted with our cocktail choices and made suggestions and recommendations based on our favourite flavours and spirits. My ‘About Figgin Thyme’ was a B&T signature and consisted of a blend of Havana 7-year rum, fig liqueur, fresh lime, maple syrup, thyme liqueur and cloudy apple. It was yummy, but then I like anything with maple syrup. Nicola went for a ‘Rosemary Bramble’ consisted of Portobello gin, Acai liqueur, Raspberry liqueur, lemon juice, rosemary, sugar syrup, decorated with fresh rosemary, the aroma of which is enough to lift any spirit.

The cocktail list is extensive and if you’re a firsttime visitor it's worth checking out the drinks menu at bottleandthyme.co.uk/tipplethyme to help narrow down your choice before going.

The food is always delightfully presented and delicious and tonight did not disappoint, starters of beetroot terrine (goats cheese, crushed walnut, spinach and a burnt orange dressing) and pulled duck parcels (damson and port sauce, burnt orange dressed rocket) followed by mains of confit duck leg (fondant potatoes, carrot puree, roast parsnip, green beans, damson and port sauce) and a spicy falafel burger (smashed avocado and red onion marmalade), we skipped puddings. ‘Nuff said.

Page 14

The music kicked off at around 9:30pm, Beanie was playing. He’s a local singer, guitarist and very talented he is too. His set includes something for everyone, Portugal. The Man, Nirvana, The White Stripes, through more local tunes from Pulp, the Stone Roses, Oasis (ok, local’ish) to The Eagles, Buddy Holly and Elvis. It was a bitterly cold night outside and, taking requests, Beanie continued to warm his audience with laid back tunes to please.

Bottle and Thyme gives us a place to chill and catch up with friends or loved ones without the pushing and shoving of an over-crowded bar, without massive TV screens over-head and where the music gives atmosphere but doesn’t prevent conversation. It’s a place where you could head out for an afternoon drinking session, where you can stay for some food and head home in time for jammies at 10pm, having righted the world and caught up with the latest gossip.

The two cocktails for £10 offer is available from 3 to 7pm Sunday through to Friday. Friday and Saturday evenings are accompanied by live music from 9pm, see facebook @ bottleandthyme for artists performing each night.

Wednesday night Wine Down Wednesdays offers menu specials, free wine tasters, wine carafes and 20% off the wine menu.

If you’ve never called in to Bottle & Thyme we can recommend it, but only if you’re looking for a lovely environment with a warm friendly welcome in which to meet friends at any time of the day or night!

Bottle and Thyme… at any time.

Bottle & Thyme 15-17 Knifesmithgate • Chesterfield S40 1RL T: 01246 768283 www.bottleandthyme.co.uk Telling it as it is: Our meal and drinks for the evening were generously provided by Bottle & Thyme.

Prime Vets Words: Paul Chapman Image: Prime Veterinary

­D

inu Catilina is the veterinary surgeon behind Prime Veterinary Practice - the newest practice in Chesterfield.

Born and raised in Transylvania, Dinu is a long way from home, but his life-long love for animals has led to a veterinary career which has recently involved the opening of their new, completely independent veterinary practice PRIME VETS, in Chesterfield.

Dinu is 14 years qualified and has worked for the last four years in a local practice, before that he was based in South Yorkshire. I asked what led him to make the jump from employee to owner? “Over the past few years there have been significant changes in the way many veterinary practices are run and owned” explained Dinu.

“Many of the independent practices are being bought out by big corporations, they may look like a local practice but actually they are part of something much larger. We are one of only two Chesterfield-based vets that are privately owned” “I think this influences the relationship between clients and their vet. Out-of-hours support for example, may only be available from one practice in the group or outsourced to other clinics so should you have any problems you need to travel out of the area. It’s important to me that I get to know the animals and their owners and build a strong long-term relationship. Being there for our clients and their pets means a 24/7 service to me and we are very proud to be able to offer out of hours care to our registered clients at our own practice.”

PRIME can provide a wide range of services from routine work to advanced procedures. Dinu has an RCVS certificate in small animal surgery and enjoys doing advanced soft tissue and orthopaedic procedures for registered or referred clients. The practice also offers small animal reproduction services, being one of only five veterinary practices in the UK with canine semen banks.

Page 16

Dinu is supported by his wife Lisa who helps run the practice, together with two very experienced registered veterinary nurses, Jenny Gibbons and Kayleigh Lievesley who complete the team.

Whilst I was there, it was clear to me that Dinu and Lisa care very much about the quality of care they offer. They spoke about the growth in the client base since their opening, all from recommendation. This was proven by my visit, cancelled the first time as they responded to an out-of-hours emergency caesarian followed by a full day of appointments.

The building has been completely refurbished, it’s clean tidy, contemporary and with ample parking to the rear. The reception is large and spacious with a modern homely feel.

“We want the practice to feel like it’s part of the community, it’s important for us to be the family vet of choice” explained Dinu.

“We opened in November last year and the first few months have been amazing” says Dinu.

“People are so happy with what they find when they come through the door, their feedback is constantly telling us they feel relaxed, not rushed and they appreciate the longer appointments, this also means that waiting time is minimised ... provided no emergencies arrive that is!”

As we finished, we had an interesting chat around community and the impact of large corporations on them. I feel like this team have it right. If you need services for your family pet please call down and see for yourself, and as always, be sure to mention where you saw them.

Top tips

The perfect pooch Top dog training tips Words: Sue Laughton

N

o doubt we all have a special relationship with our beloved canine friends, but how well do you really know them?

I have been discussing this with local animal trainer and all-round doggy specialist Sue. Sue has owned lots of different breeds of dogs for over 30 years and even taken in a few that have needed a temporary home and someone to love them. A few years ago, after binging on Caesar Milan, Sue decided to put all her experience to good use and study to be a dog trainer. Sue has a fantastic insight for us!

As dog owners we use our voices and body language to communicate while dogs use sounds such as barking, growling and whining in addition to their body stance.

Understanding the difference between how we communicate is key and can really help to understand your pets better. Thanks to your dog’s intelligence (which is like a young child) they are able to read social situations very well and the clues you give to them.

Dogs thrive in social situations, this is where they develop similarly to children and adults. They are also in their happy place which boosts their mood and wellbeing.

From puppy age dogs should be around people and other dogs, they need play times, companionship and don’t like being alone. This companionship helps the dog to mature correctly and teaches a lot of behaviour. You must be careful though not to overwhelm them as this can have a negative effect if they get scared or feel intimidated.

Domestic dogs and wild dogs may look similar but have evolved so differently which is why they react to situations in very different ways. Domestic dogs rely so much on their human companions, they look to their owners for guidance, problem solving and reassurance.

I experienced this at the weekend with my dog when he got stuck in a tree – he got a huge branch stuck in his collar and couldn’t get free. Instead of working out how to escape he looked at me and started barking, I now know this was his way of saying – please help me.

Sue’s hero is Caesar Milan, this is where Sue got the idea to study and pushed her to follow her dreams of working with animals. From owning her first dog called Kim as a child Sue is now a successful doggy expert with lots of clients ranging from springers with too much spring, overweight Labradors that enjoy the luxury lifestyle to yappy jack Russell’s that don’t know when silence in beautiful.

If you would like help with your doggy friend or some respite, then get in touch with Sue for a free consultation on: 07872 417 442 Sue’s final tips are to set boundaries from the beginning, invest time in your dog and take them for lots of lovely walks. Not only will this please your dog it will give you lots of healthy fresh air and keep you active. A win, win situation.

P.S don’t forget your poo bags!

Food

Spoilt for choice The rise of the independents

Words: Jennie Sim Images: Pizza PI and Pump & Grind

L

iving in Chesterfield and being a complete foodie has never been so good, it’s as if there is an underground movement taking place to challenge our taste buds like never before!

Independent venues are opening, sticking around and giving us much more of a taste adventure than your typical stand-alone chains. #localbusiness

years prior with numerous beers - and quite rightly so. Their menu sees an extensive loaded fries’ range perfect as a gluten free choice, or those simply not wanting to indulge in their handmade pizza dough.

A personal favourite is the full vegan pizza menu! If I could insert the saliva dripping emoji here I would but the S41 editors are also part of the emoji Police!

What’s great, and I mean mega is that they offer specials. So, if you are a huge pizza lover (lets face it there are lots of us out there) your favourite treat meal never needs to be boring. Most recently the Purple Broccoli and Blue Derbyshire pizza with their signature homemade sauce was an inspiration to the pizza world - Broccoli on a pizza - one of your five a day right there!

The independents are really grasping the need for an 'alternative' menu option and by alternative, I mean healthier option, gluten free, vegan or vegetarian. Allergies, intolerance's and dietary choices are on the increase .... 2019 is the year of the Vegan - there I have said it and won’t mention it again!

For many of us eating out of an evening isn't always that easy, the constraints of our mini humans and the added cost of childcare can make evening dining tricky. Luckily for us if we fancy a cheeky brunch, lunch or afternoon tea we are spoilt for choice with a wealth of venues to choose from, offering quirky, traditional or boutique when it comes to a dining experience.

Pizza Pi of Beetwell Street have grasped this with their menu. Established in 2017 they got their menu bang on, this came from many discussions taking place over several Page 20

Libby’s on Chatsworth road is a true hidden gem with a traditional take on British food, I have lost count of the amount of times I have recommended Libby’s only for the recipient to comment they had no idea it was there.

The food is ALL home cooked, scones to die for, quiches changing daily offering a gluten free crust option and cakes to make even Mr Savoury drool! What really gets you though is the staff, the ladies are all so, so, friendly remembering you from your first visit to your last, nothing is too much troublede and there is always time for them to take interest in you and your day.

www.s41local.com

Another fabulous venue is the H & F tearooms the quote from the owner Sharon Hilton says it all ‘the vintage tea rooms is a place to come and escape from the hussle and bustle of our busy modern lives. With its vintage decor and traditional values, we offer an experience quite unique in this area."

A step back in time with a modern-day twist on delicacies makes a visit to the H & F tearooms a memorable experience. It is great for a full-on lunch experience or simply coffee and cake. I love the personal touch of free water, infused with cucumber, mint or lime and the friendly atmosphere that encompasses you as you walk in.

If you’re looking for a boutique feel, head to Blu Bistro on the Chatsworth Road, they offer an exceptional breakfast and evening meal menu. Their afternoon tea with an option of Prosecco or G & T might just tip the balance when looking for a daytime dining experience.

I must mention Pump and Grind. They offer superb coffee, craft beers, top cocktails and ace grub. A relaxed atmosphere, super cool vibe and a taco menu that speaks volumes.

The menu can be changed to suit all dietary requirements so it’s a win, win, from me. It’s the sort of place you can sit, eat, work and drink exceptionally good coffee on your own but not feel lonely.

Be warned the cocktails are on another level, a piece of art almost a shame to drink - which of course you always do! How many though that's up to you.

Horseshoes in Clay Cross to see Craig and Mark, these guys make you feel at home with exceptional home cooked food catering for all. The fabulous weekly entertainment on every night apart from a Monday means you can enjoy a fun night out even on a school night! Portions are large, homely and give comfort food a whole new meaning, I recommend booking to avoid disappointment.

On the same traditional feel, we have the Three Cottages, they are winning all round with their take on pub classics for their menu, especially as they offer extensive vegetarian, vegan and gluten free options.

The venue itself has been around for over 100 years changing from three dwellings to an inn in the 1960s. The venue has retained all its wealth and charm from years gone by, making this an easy place to relax, kick back and enjoy some mighty fine traditional food.

The local food and drinks industry are celebrated each year at the Chesterfield Food and Drink awards which is organised

by Destination Chesterfield. Nominations are made by the public so if you would like to have your say on where to eat and drink in and around Chesterfield look out for when voting opens in 2019 There are so many other places to try in Chesterfield I am looking forward to continuing my quest to #supportlocal and #supportsmallbusinesses don't just take my word for it get on board.

Cover Artist

Challenge accepted Meet this month's cover Artists Words: Paul Chapman & Simon Paterson Images: Defeye Creative

Defeye Creative step up to the ‘S41 Cover Artist Challenge’ this month.

But who are they?

Based in the studio next door to S41/S40, Defeye is a full-service creative agency, they produce intuitive creative content with video production, design for print, design for web and digital.

They also make a good coffee and have a cooler looking studio than me!

The team of four have skills across all platforms, Tom and Matt, have a film and photography background, Phil, print and web design and Steve, digital development.

Why did the four of you decide to start Defeye?

"We saw that there were only a few creative agencies that work across all disciplines, film, design, web and photography. The world of digital and design is fast paced and we had a desire to work together collaboratively on projects working across disciplines as we have skills in each area and between us we offer something unique."

What’s the story behind the cover artwork?

"One of our shared interests in the team is our love of an eclectic range of music.

We thought it would be cool to explore Chesterfield’s musical heritage and so we got talking about musicians and bands from the area and how we could represent it visually. We settled on Phil “Philthy animal’ Taylor because he’s (in our opinion) the most iconic musician from town."

What was it like working on the cover artwork as a team?

"So we approached this project in exactly the same way with Phil then developing on the ideas we’d initially had into the final artwork.

We think this is a real strength of ours and luckily we get a chance to work that way all the time."

You are hosting a dinner party and can invite four guests. Whomever you invite will attend, past or present, dead or alive, who do you invite and what do you serve them?

"I think given our cover it would have to be the classic Motörhead lineup of Lemmy, Phil Taylor, and ‘Fast’ Eddie Clarke. Who wouldn’t want to have drink with these three proper rock & roll icons?

'Then it’d probably be Richard Pryor.

Although with those four it’d probably not be worth cooking anything and just spend the money on the booze instead.'

Finally, what are Defeye’s plans for 2019?

"We’ve got some really exciting clients that we’re working with at the moment, so seeing that work come to fruition will be really cool.

The business is really growing as well so hopefully in 2019 we can expand our team and bring in even more ideas and talent into the fold."

If you’re setting up a business and need some support with the digital and physical media please drop Defeye an email at hello@defeye.co.uk, check out their website www.defeyecreative.co.uk or call into the Studio at West Studios.

Defeye West Studios, Sheffield Road S41 7LL www.defeyecreative.co.uk

"Every project we work on starts with us working together then whomever’s specialism is best suited to the project takes the lead and develops on those initial conversations, concepts and ideas forward.

One Man, One Cause On Foot Across America Words: Jack Alexander Images: Eric Keeler

I

n September we met with Eric Keeler, a Chesterfield local raising money for Spinal Research by running coast to coast across the United States. He was back in the UK to apply for another visa before heading back out to complete the second leg of his epic journey, from Denver, Colorado through to the Pacific coastline of California.

Geography buffs out there will already know the immediate challenge awaiting Eric upon his return - the Rocky Mountains. Stretching for more than 3,000 miles from British Columbia, in western Canada, all the way down to New Mexico, The Rockies contain the highest peaks in central North America.

For Eric, crossing the mountain pass was inevitable.

It was an ominous prospect in itself, made more so when, less than two hours in, Eric beheld huge red clouds gathering on the horizon.

“I saw the dust rolling in and knew I wouldn’t make it,” says Eric. An hour and a half from civilisation, Eric opted to set up camp, tying both the tent and his stroller, filled with all is worldly belongings, to a nearby tree.

It had been a season of extreme weather in the US, with four hurricanes in the space of five weeks charging up from New Mexico into California.

Combined with huge quantities of ash left over from wildfires, phenomenal dust storms were enveloping entire swathes of the Midwest.

“Give it a few hours,” thought Eric. “It’ll blow over.”

He spent the next 18 hours trapped inside his tent competing with 80mph winds just to keep it on the ground.

He showed me a video clip filmed from inside.

Page 24

The noise was deafening, all around him the walls flapping wildly. I asked him how he possibly slept.

He laughed: “I didn’t!”

Eric continued south into New Mexico, where he spent another long night clutching a knife and bear repellant, his tent circled by coyotes. Then he followed the highway west into Arizona, Nevada and finally California, where he linked up with Route 66 and spent seven days in the Mojave Desert. A giant section of the highway was, quite literally, deserted, as the road was closed for maintenance.

“It was the most peaceful, the most alone I’ve been - it was the last challenge.”

As Eric left the desert landscape behind he followed the telltale signs of civilisation, straightlined twilight silhouettes and wires hanging vine-like between, he found himself churning through the final miles of his Herculean endeavour.

California meant the end; it meant the ocean.

Eric resisted the urge to swim until reaching San Diego, where his family were waiting to welcome him and cheer him along as he took a most welldeserved plunge.

3,646 miles, 186 days, 2 feet and 1 man with a cause; he’d done it.

“When times were tough, I’d remember how far I’d come, and all the people who’d supported me along the way, and everyone who’s donated to the charity.”

Eric has been raising money and awareness for Spinal Research, the UK's leading charity for funding research into spinal cord injury, for over five years. In that time he’s raised over £7,000, mostly through his running, and his latest endeavours look to add a further £12,000 to that figure.

Page 25

People Shortly after completing his adventure, Eric returned home to the UK. “It was only after two weeks that I had the realisation: I’m not going back!” he tells me. “But at the same time, it’s not really over.”

Eric refers to the opportunities which have arisen since finishing the run; the possibility to share his story and further promote the cause of Spinal Research. In December he was interviewed by BBC Radio Sheffield, and has been invited to speak at his local schools in the Wingerworth area.

“I still don’t consider myself a runner!” Eric claims. Despite that, he plans to keep himself busy through 2019 by setting up his own running company, providing running apparel and virtual racing events to all.

With each competitor choosing a race and completing the distance however they like, whether that’s on a treadmill, as part of a running group or as a personal challenge, virtual racing is a surprisingly simple concept which has taken the running world by storm. The best part is, with just a few simple calculations, wheelchair users can

convert their distances into conventional ‘steps’ and compare their stats the same way as everyone else.

“It’ll be for everyone,” says Eric, “a network for support, and to compete, and completely wheelchair accessible.”

It’s clear that for Eric, running is about people.

Perhaps that’s why he still doesn’t see himself a runner, because he is, and will always be, an amateur who achieved the extraordinary, who crossed a continent on foot, and of all the things experienced along the way, valued the human connections most of all.

“I got by on my own two feet, but I owe so much to the kindness of good people along the way.”

As I made to leave and shook Eric’s hand I commended him once more on his achievement, and he chuckled.

“Well, all that’s left now is for you to have a go,” he said.

Well, there’s an idea.

To learn more about Spinal Research, head online to www.spinal-research.org.

If you'd like to show your support for Eric’s incredible achievement you can still sponsor him through his blog at www.c2c.run. And speaking of which, Eric’s been shortlisted at the Running Awards in the Best Personal Blog category, for the second year running. Register your vote online at therunningawards.com.

Chesterfield Rugby 100 Years This coming season sees the Chesterfield Panthers Rugby Club achieve it’s Centenary, with many events being organized in celebration of all they have achieved in that time.

Words:Graham Bell - Hon. President CPRUFC Images: Chesterfield Panthers

The Briefest History 15 November 1919 Mr J.T.Todd of Blackwell and Mr W.Walton Pitt set about establishing Rugby Union in Chesterfield, what followed was a meeting in the Portland hotel on the 6 December 1919 when a Rugby Club was formed.

18 Men of widely varying backgrounds and social standing came together and the first firm plans were made for Chesterfield Rugby Football Club.

“We didn’t have a shirt, a pair of boots or a ball between us and what’s more we didn’t have a rugby field to play on”

Founder Member Harold Webb recalled “We didn’t have a shirt, a pair of boots or a ball between us and what’s more we didn’t have a rugby field to play on”.

Early games and practice were played at various venues including an area of ground at Highfield and then Brampton on fields which are now Brookfield School. The players changed at this time in stables at the Terminus Hotel and bathed in two halves of a beer cask.

The First Match Report (13 MARCH 1920) from the Derbyshire Times. “The Chesterfield and District club’s debut at Blackwell on Saturday against Burton-on-Trent ‘A’ side was a good start.

The Chesterfield team did just as much as could be expected of them. That Burton won by 14 points to 3 points is not a discouraging result. The homesters led at the interval with a try by Colin Linathan, a Blackwell youth.”

In 1923 the club split with Blackwell, to become Chesterfield Rugby Union Football Club. Many family names from those early days still support the club today.

Thanks to the work of the Charles Shentall, J.W.Thompson and the Redfern/Short families the club acquired the grounds at Stonegravels for the princely sum of £1200 with the first match being played at Sheffield Road on the 8 October 1927.

Sport The club flourished during the late 1920s and until suspension due to the 2nd World War in 1939.

This growth of the club required more and better facilities and this was achieved with the move to Dunston Road in 2012.

During this period two former Chesterfield players progressed to play for England, Firsly, Prince Alexander Oblensky, whilst at Trent College and secondly Clarence Gilthorpe who played for Chesterfield before going on to play for Wasps, Royal Air Force, Coventry, Oxford University and England between 1938 and 1946.

The club was able to buy the Dunston site from Chesterfield Borough Council in 2010, after realizing the asset value of the Stonegravels site. After more than 20 years of negotiations and protracted planning issues the club finally sold the Stonegravels site for residential development to Miller Homes Limited.

After the war years the club re-established its self in 1946, playing in plain red shirts, the hooped shirts previously worn could not be purchased because of rationing.

Today

The club obtained its first clubhouse on the ground in 1953 with two tennis courts added in 1955.

The club purchased a second pitch and training area in 1961 for the sum of £1250, once again the Short family connection made this possible.

The club continued to grow with the 1970s being the most successful period in the club’s history to date. Floodlights were installed and became the envy of many other clubs.

Having started in the late 1950s to encourage rugby coaching in local schools by the mid-1980s junior rugby was established with sides playing other local club juniors on Sunday mornings. The club now has more than 300 Mini and Junior members from 7 to 19 years of age.

The Ladies Rugby Team, formed in 1993, will this year celebrate 25 years of Ladies Rugby at Chesterfield. This section has grown with the introduction of girls' rugby from junior level where boys and girls play together up to the age of under 13.

The club now boasts junior and girl players representing the club at Notts, Lincs and Derbys and Midland Division at Junior level.

With the juniors have come mums and dads, and grandmas and granddads.

The club now regularly field 2 senior sides, a ladies side, a girls side, mini and junior sides from Under 7’s to under 17’s. In addition, the “Panther Cub’s” (3 to 6-year olds) are enjoying the Sunday morning use of the new clubhouse and surrounding pitches.

The community sports pitches forming part of the development at Dunston have now become the home of “Espial Football Club” and regularly host soccer matches each weekend.

The club continues to improve and add to the facility at Dunston, this year floodlights were installed to pitch 2, car parking extended, and pitch-side paving added.

The club encourages and welcomes use of their excellent new facilities by community and corporate groups. This use varies from NHS, teacher and business training to wedding receptions and childrens parties.

As part of the “Centenary” an exhibition of the club’s history is being held at Chesterfield Museum from October to Christmas 2019. If you have a story to tell or memorabilia for display at the exhibition the club would love to hear from you.

Contact via www.chesterfieldpanthers.com Call Graham Bell on 01246 272394 Email Graham at g.bell898@btinternet.com

The investment in youth has led to the formation of “The Panther Cubs” for 3 to 6-year olds.

Pomegranate Youth Theatre & Gekkota Arts Who's line is it anyway?

Words: Carole Copeland Images: Gekkota Arts

T

he Pomegranate Youth Theatre offers weekly drama workshops that are available to all, regardless of their ethnic or social background, at a low cost.

The Pomegranate Youth Theatre was formed in 2002 from an external drama group consisting of 10 to 15 members. It has grown to an existing group of up to 90 young people ages 7-30, drawn from all around Chesterfield and outlying area.

'Promotes teamwork, life and social skills, creativity & confidence'

The fun workshops provide a service to teach all aspects of stagecraft with professional facilitators which promote teamwork, social skills, emotional intelligence, creativity and confidence.

The young people involved choose and explore issues relevant to themselves and the area in which they live as well as subjects and events from other aspects of life through research, improvisation, devising, scripting and performing.

Gekkota Arts evolved from the Pomegranate Youth Theatre. It was formed with a group of long-standing Youth Theatre members who wished to continue their journey and further their skills in every aspect of stagecraft.

The Pomegranate Youth Theatre senior groups are part of the National Theatre's Connections this year and will be performing 'Salt ' by Dawn King at the Rose Theatre , Chesterfield and Sheffield Theatres studio in March.

Words: Simon Paterson Ian was viewing the art in West Studios when I bumped into him. We started chatting and it was clear I needed to tell his story.

Back in 1997 Ian had a breakdown and suffered with serious mental health issues until events in 2008 lead to him experiencing what he recognised as his wake-up call!

Ian was admitted to the Hartington wing at the Royal Hospital on the psychiatric ward. At the time they had a day unit which was open to out patients. The day unit had an attached art room which patients were encouraged to use, to express their feelings as an alternative therapy.

Ian was a regular in the art room and his occupational therapist recognised the positive impact it was having on his mental health. He was persuaded to register as a mature student on a two-year access art course with a clear goal of graduating from university.

Following university Ian was involved in various mental health community groups, supporting and mentoring local artists and projects. Through his volunteering he’s found peace, stability and a passion for making a positive difference to the lives of others.

He goes forward with a message of hope for those who are suffering, that through connection and expression, you can improve your health and wellbeing and live a full and rewarding life.

Ian now runs his own community movement called Arts and Minds, where anyone is welcome to come along and express themselves through art, music, writing, anything that involves creativity. It’s a support network for people with mental health issues, social isolation, loneliness etc.

Ian is himself a talented artist and has an exhibition at West Studios running from the 8 to 29 March. His art reflects his own personal journey, one of despair, hope, and identity.

Arts & Minds is open Monday to Saturday 9am to 5pm at 43 Bridge Street, Killamarsh.

They are currently seeking premises to further expand the great work they do into Chesterfield town centre.

If you are able to assist Ian please contact him on 07711 271770.

Close at Heart

S41 Local Hero: Joe Robinson Words: Bekah Anstey Images: Joe's family

"At 16 I was working at Sports Division in Chesterfield, going out having fun with friends and probably causing havoc." States Joe "I would never have had the capability to start an amazing social action project with the involvement of over 1,400 locals."

But Joe Robinson from Bolsover School is doing just that!

Joe has launched a campaign to show our local community where they can find a defibrillator, this started off as a local project covering Chesterfield quickly gaining momentum and support. in Just a few months the project now spans from Barnsley to Leicester and shows no signs of stopping there!

Joe started this project in December, and it is going from strength to strength. I met with Joe and his family at his home and this is what they had to say.

‘I started out wanting to tell people about defibrillators and that they’re easy to use, you can’t really do it wrong. The instructions are all there and people shouldn’t be afraid to use them when needed’ ‘this grew to telling people where they can find one, I then launched the defibrillator map, it is a map available online that shows exactly where you can find one. I was surprised to see that some local councils use old phone boxes to store them. You can also find them in lots of Co-op stores, gyms and leisure centres’ Page 38

Joe launched The Tom Henson Charity Defibrillator map after losing his brother in 2018 to a Congenital Heart Disease.

Shortly after this he realised he had no idea where to find a defibrilator in an emergency situation. This led Joe on a quest to create a map of all the defibrilators in Chesterfield, publishing there locations with the hope of savings lives.

Tom was 23 years old and is Joe’s motivation to help others and spread the message of where you can find a defibrillator.

With almost 1,400 followers on facebook and support from Look North, BBC news Derby, Radio Sheffield and Spire Radio I can see that the message is being spread far and wide.

As well as spending most of his spare time on this project Joe is also focusing on his exams and working towards his dream of becoming a paramedic.

Joe is an inspiration to others and we wish him the best of luck with this amazing project, it was a pleasure to spend some time with him hearing about all the fantastic work he is doing for our community.

www.s41local.com

In remembrance of Tom a memorial fund has been created. So far it has raised enough money to purchase a defibrilator to be placed at Carr Vale Unted Football Ground, where Tom would often play the sport he loved. Donations can be made at:

www.c-r-y.org.uk

Joe is continuing to expand his map and has a visiion where every defibrilatior in the UK is listed and accessible to the public.

Conquer is Chesterfield's premier live action escape rooms.

Live action escape rooms are an interesting and unique group activity where you and your team must work together to solve puzzles, crack codes and figure out how to escape the room before the time limit runs out.

[ESC] was born from a love of games and puzzles and a wish to provide events and entertainment that simulate being in your own video game.

Similarly, as a kid, who didn't want to appear on TV shows like Crystal Maze and Knightmare?

Stories are really important to us here at [ESC] too, and by developing our trio of escape rooms with an ongoing narrative we hope to provide an experience that differs from the traditional Chesterfield nightlife.

Trio One is now available and will explore local history, with elements of our escape room puzzles involving Chesterfield's Crooked Spire and nearby Eyam and a what-if story spanning centuries.

I hope that any fellow lovers of puzzles and mystery will enjoy their time inside [ESC]

Call us on: 07545 120430 Or book directly on our website at entersolveconquer.com/book For a chance to win a free game at ESC simply email us the answer to simon@ s41local.com.
