DOGS TRUST LEEDS Dogs Trust Leeds is set in approximately 32 acres of rolling countryside just outside Leeds city centre. The site not only has kennels for the dogs to relax in, but enrichment areas for the dogs to play in and explore so that they get the best care whilst they are staying with Dogs Trust. There are 39 full time members of staff that vary from vets, to behaviourists to the canine carers who look after the dogs on a daily basis. At any one time, the centre can hold around 100 dogs, all of whom are looking for their forever home.

It’s been a crazy few months for Cloudy2Clear Windows. The company which specialises in repairing windows which are steamed up, broken or damaged by replacing panes - not the frames has grown rapidly as homeowners take advantage of their services. Manager Joel Skinner feels that it’s all about service. ‘Our product is simple. If your double glazing is misted up we can replace the glass at a fraction of the cost of a new window, in any time of frame, and with a new 5 year guarantee. But it’s not just about saving people money, although that obviously helps. Many tradespeople have
struggled since last year and I honestly feel that during the good times a minority perhaps didn’t focus on customer care as much as they should have done. We make sure we turn up when we say we will, do the job the customer requires and leave their house as clean as a whistle. I often get comments back from customers on how they really didn’t expect that sort of service which, in a way, is very sad for the service industry as a whole.’ Cloudy2Clear service the Alwoodley, Shadwell, Moortown, Chapel Allerton, Roundhay and Oakwood areas and Joel is finding that his approach is a major factor in his success. ‘The truth is that it’s not just the personal
satisfaction that I get from doing a good job but also it makes good business sense. I get a huge amount of business from friends and family people I’ve done work for, which just goes to
show how much a little bit of effort is appreciated.’ So, if your windows are steamed up, broken or damaged give Joel a call for a free quotation on 0800 61 21 118 and he’ll be happy to help!

LOOK WHO’S ARRIVED IN YOUR NECK OF THE WOODS Spring migration is in full swing so you may have noticed some different sounds coming from your garden, local parks and woodlands. Some of these birds have come all the way from southern Spain while others have travelled from as far as sub-Saharan Africa and beyond. Let’s have a look at three of the most common spring visitors that can be found right now in your area of Leeds. One of the first migrants to reach the suburbs of Leeds is the chiffchaff, a little warbler that likes to sing from tall trees. It sings its name ‘chiffchaff’, ‘chiff-chaff’ with a thin, stuttering, metallic sound that often drifts away on the breeze. These birds arrive from the beginning of March and are closely followed by their close cousin, the willow warbler. Both birds look similar but sound very different. The
Willow Warbler
willow warbler prefers lower growing trees in more open habitat. Their song is also thin but it is sweet, starts off high and gradually descends down the scale, like a waterfall.
See if you can find a chiffchaff, willow warbler and a blackcap in your neck of the woods. If you need some help then record it on your phone and get in touch.
Arriving about the same time is the blackcap. This is a different type of warbler which likes dense shrubs. They are larger than the chiffchaff and willow warbler. The male is grey with a black cap and the female has a ginger cap. Male blackcaps have a fast, fluty song which I think sounds like a blackbird played at high speed.

LOCAL NEWS ADVICE FROM THE OFFENDER’S MOUTH... West Yorkshire Police has been working with convicted burglars to bring down the number of burglaries in the area this summer. With advice straight from the offender’s mouths, there are a number of simple, practical suggestions to help you take steps to make your homes less appealing to burglars. Neighbourhood Policing Team Inspector Andrew Briggs said, “As we move towards the summer, people need to take steps to maintain the security of their properties. “It’s quite often the case that the little things make a real difference. You don’t necessarily have to spend money on additional security, using what you already
SUBURBAN SPORTS TEAM Tell us about your team and send us a team photo Where you play? How good you are? What’s special about your club? editorial@suburbanleeds.co.uk
have and making changes to your routine around the home will go a long way. “People can have the best locks, alarms and lighting available, but leaving doors Insp. Andrew BRIGGS or windows unlocked and valuables on show creates the opportunity that a burglar might just be looking for. “Removing laptops completely out of sight, putting charger units for electronic items in a drawer rather than plugged in and on show, locking doors and removing the keys from the lock, securing tools away in the garage or shed after use and using the security that is already in place are all things that are cost free and could help in making your property less
attractive to burglars. “Offering to keep an eye on your neighbour’s home when they are on holiday by opening and closing blinds or curtains, and removing mail from the letterbox are also simple things that prevent a burglar from identifying if a property is unoccupied. “We are committed to reducing house burglaries and every day we revisit all such crimes and ‘super-cocoon’ addresses all around the victim. The aim of this is to find new lines of enquiry and make the neighbouring properties more security conscious. We also routinely check second-hands outlets (both shops and on-line versions) to try to track property from burglaries being sold on.

BUY YORKSHIRE 2015 Suburban visited the 2015 Buy Yorkshire event at Leeds Royal Armouries on 29 April (the second day of two). With some sectors, visitors were spoilt for choice. For example, there was no shortage of charities, education and training providers, energy and telecoms services and suppliers of promotional and advertising material. But the only terrestrial broadcaster there was Made in Leeds TV who, on the day, seemed busiest of all. Dean Rayson (Senior Accounts Manager) told Suburban; “It’s been crazy. I haven’t even had a chance to look round the other exhibitors. We’ve been three deep at times. Some of the contacts we made yesterday returned today to confirm their interest and make doubly sure that we’d be getting in touch. How many of
those contacts will generate programmes or revenue remains to be seen, but we have found the event very encouraging.” Suburban also made a few contacts and will be featuring their stories in forthcoming issues.

TOUR DE YORKSHIRE– LE SPORTIVE With Suburban being monthly, we asked photographer Ivor Hughes to look for a different angle on this year’s inaugural event... The Welcome to Yorkshire team would have had good reason to be apprehensive about the new three-race three day cycling event, conceived by them in the wake of last year’s Tour de France and its phenomenal success throughout the county. Managed by ASO, the French sporting events management company also responsible for le Tour, it was very much an unknown quantity. Early retiree Richard Harley with local couple Kim Williamson and Jonathan Halliwell, there supporting a friend taking part. Richard’s story is included in our report.
Most participants stayed in groups, sharing the workload and increasing road safety
Not only were there no close bases for comparison, the international cycling calendar is so busy that it clashed with two major events elsewhere. First there was the climax of the eight-day and eight stage Presidential Tour of Turkey, in which Britain’s Mark Cavendish was competing (he won the sprint title). Then there was the Frankfurt Grand Prix – cancelled at short notice due to a terrorist threat but to which many professionals were already committed. And it preceded le Tour’s Italian equivalent, Giro d’Italia, by less than a week. Well, the Tour de Yorkshire has been and gone and was hailed as a resounding success, though to say they needn’t have worried would be to invite complacency. Nonetheless, Yorkshire’s Tour had much to offer that le Tour did not. Over three stages rather than two, it was able to include more of the

county, particularly the coastal stretches in Stage 1. Stages 2 and 3 were far less disruptive than last year’s Stage 2, which had cut the north of England in half for almost the entire Sunday. The new routes were carefully chosen openended horseshoes that shut some of the roads for as little as ninety minutes. Which, in turn, made more of the route accessible for the 1,500,000 spectators and didn’t keep them penned in for half a day. Finally, the Tour de Yorkshire more than matched the club cyclist element of the French event. Whereas l’étape is a fixed full stage of the Tour de France open to the pre-booked public on a professional rest day, invariably in the middle of nowhere and nowhere near any action, the Yorkshire event offered a choice of three distances on day three itself. Starting and finishing in Leeds’ Roundhay Park, they were also

You see, I’d been a part-time professional cyclist in the sixties and seventies. None of the major tours, but around northern Europe competing as a domestique (jobbing pro) in criteriums (town centre evening races). The prize money was a welcome addition to my salary as an engineer. For some years I was with Raleigh Cycles, as luck would have it. “I didn’t feel as if I had anything to prove, didn’t want to get wet or chilled to the bone and told him that I’d accompany him for the first few miles before retiring. In any event, my so-called state-of-the art carbon fibre bike is fitted with cork brake pads which don’t have the necessary bite in the wet, not for the steep descents later on the course.
In safe and experienced hands. Pictured at last year’s Tour de France, Gary Verity remains Chief Executive of Welcome to Yorkshire. Bernard Hinault, fivetimes winner, was ASO’s advisor and ambassador at the time and assumed a similar role for Tour de Yorkshire. Come in Number 12.

equipment weren’t cut out for the additional challenges. One retiree, at Pool in Wharfedale, ticked all three boxes.
“My surgeon? Oh yes. Adam operated successfully on my bowel cancer. It had at one time been regarded as inoperable, due to other complications. But, you see, he also serves part-time as a colonel in the Royal Army Medical Corps. I’m certain that his battlefield-honed surgical skills enabled him to succeed where others might not. Pro cyclist in the sixties? Yes, I’m seventy years of age.”
Richard Harley from Nottingham; “Hi – you’re the first supporters I’ve seen this morning, out on the route proper that is. My surgeon, Adam Brooks (of Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust), asked me weeks ago if I’d join him on this event.
Wow. I’d already been feeling exploitative, photographing all those rain-sodden cyclists just before the sharp climb up Pool Bank and with another seventy miles to go after that. Though I didn’t feel quite as bad after dropping off young Richard back at Roundhay Park.
more convenient and didn’t get in the way of the start of Stage 3 proper – in Wakefield. At 140 km, the longest of the three routes passed through Pool in Wharfedale, Otley, Denholme, Hebden Bridge, Haworth and Ilkley. Thousands of participants left at staggered intervals starting at 6.30 and never found themselves that far from civilisation. By 6.30, and well beyond, the rain had become so heavy that it caused some entrants to withdraw or retire. Some for reasons of comfort, others deciding that either they or their

MAY DAY BANK HOLIDAY Two of the biggest events of the year took place over the May day bank holiday in our area. Saturday the 2nd of May (Oakwood Day) saw the much awaited opening of the new Oakwood Clock. Despite cold weather and showers the event was well attended by local people and dignitaries and people were able to see the personalised paving stones for the first time. Sunday the 3rd was the finale of the Tour de Yorkshire, a name which has divided opinion but never the less has been a great event for our region and pulled in lots of customers for businesses along stage 3. Heavy showers made the going hard in the
morning but by afternoon the sunny spells and warmer weather meant spectacting was more pleasurable and indeed the turnout in Roundhay park was tremendous and the atmosphere amazing. Lets hope Yorkshire gets the event again next year.

CHAPEL ALLERTON A SUBURBAN VILLAGE Article by Liz Maguire
Chapel Allerton is known to many, as the area where Leeds graduates move to when they’re ready to settle down, attracted by the great shops, bars and restaurants with a welcoming village feeling yet still within easy reach of the city centre and with good regular bus services, a local library and a beautiful park. Good schools are also a big consideration for those ready to settle and start a family and the recent OFSTED report for Chapel Allerton Primary will help make the decision an easy one.

OLLY THE OWL PART III
In the late 1950s, Guiseley schoolboy Brian Firth rescued an injured tawny owl chick and nursed it back to health and, in a year, young adulthood. Things were now on an even keel – until a neighbour reported young Brian to the authorities for keeping a wild bird. Brian, now retired, related the story to Suburban. This is the third and concluding part. It was three agonising weeks before they arrived. The policeman looked distinctly uncomfortable, so I guessed it wasn’t all going to be good news. The RSPCA inspector pulled out reams of paperwork. He was a really grumpy old fogey – must have been at least thirty ... Surprisingly quietly spoken, he asked me how I’d found Olly. Had I ever stolen birds’ eggs or been in trouble for interfering with wildlife? When Dad protested he 30 | SUBURBAN MAGAZINE
Brian, Olly and Kell
explained that they were routine questions. We had done our best to keep Olly comfortable, following a vet’s advice. I refuted the allegation that I had been keeping Olly against his will – he had been free to come and go as he pleased during our field trips. Not only was the inspector satisfied that no laws had been broken, he was impressed that Olly had been catching mice during our field trips – evidence that Olly was comfortable and indeed free to make his own way in the wild if he wanted. He was also pleased to see that Olly resisted physical inspection, retaining the natural caution that wild birds needed to have. Now for the bombshell. “I am satisfied that he has
been well looked after and is more than capable of surviving in the wild. My recommendation is that you release him in fields away from this area and leave him to his own devices.” Olly had been with us for a year. Any thoughts of releasing him into the wild, maybe even forcing him, had long disappeared. We should have questioned his ruling. Olly was in good health and we weren’t breaking any laws. But, back in those days, most people just did what they were told. We agreed to release him the following weekend. What a hard week that was. We had decided on Cragg Wood at Rawdon and pulled up alongside a field bordered with trees and shrubbery. Mum and Dad waited at the fence while I

walked into the field. The first time he landed in a tree but came straight back. The second time he flew out of sight. Mum and I cried all the way home. I cried well into the night. Monday morning and I was still upset. Could Olly really fend for himself? Mum and Dad agreed to take me back that evening. I walked into the field with my sister, Eileen. There he was, perched pretty much where I had last seen him. He must have heard me calling my parents and was soon back on my arm. This time I wasn’t going to take no for an answer – nor was Olly, by the look of things. He came home. Dad informed Guiseley Police the next day and we heard no more.
offering the explanation that I had no right to keep a wild bird. Apparently they did. Then Jim Slater, a local lad a little older and a lot larger than us, came over. He pushed the three away, threatening to punch them if they persisted. I didn’t see much of Jim for a while after that, though we were to become good friends in our late teens. My family dodged the genuine interest shown from time to time by the school and local press. We thought it better to remain under the RSPCA’s radar, just in case. Looking back, Olly could have been quite a celebrity. But then I wouldn’t be telling you his story now ...
There were only a few minor incidents after that. Olly’s curious bond with Kell (our Labrador cross) was put to the test when Olly landed on Kell’s back instead of my arm. Kell bolted but they quickly reconciled. Olly didn’t go anywhere near other dogs – though I expect would have defended Kell had any turned.
Olly had spent nearly all of his three-and-a-half years with us when the Olly era came to an inexplicably abrupt end. We’d been in the field for twenty minutes. One of Olly’s return flights ended half way through. He fluttered to the ground, sitting quiet and just staring up at me. I sensed something was wrong. I put him in his box and went home.
Then there was the time three lads approached me in the field. They watched us for twenty minutes and then demanded I hand him over. They were going to take him home with them, curiously
While my parents got ready for a trip to the vet, I sat on the lounge floor stroking Olly and speaking to him. He suddenly reared up, flapping his wings to prevent falling backwards.
Then he just went limp and fell forward into my hands. That was it. Olly was dead – likely heart failure, according to the vet some time later. My parents came in to find me holding him, tears streaming down my face. We decided to bury Olly on my uncle’s allotment on Coach Road. I called in at my auntie’s on the way to see if my cousin, Alan Broadwell, would go with me. We walked the long way, along Ghyll Royd where I had found Olly almost four years earlier. Before committing him to the ground, I opened the shoe box and took him out for a final look. I thought nothing at the time about having to bend his neck to get him back into the box. But I did several hours later. I was unable to get to sleep through the thought of Olly resting there for eternity with his neck bent by me squeezing him back into his makeshift coffin. Early the next morning we exhumed his remains, straightened his neck and reburied him in a larger box. Our beloved Kell went on to live until he was eighteen. But I shed more sweat and tears over Olly’s three and a half years than I ever did during Kell’s eighteen. Olly – long gone but never forgotten. SUBURBAN MAGAZINE | 31

SUBURBAN GARDENS With Eric Wells of Horsforth Allotment and Garden Association
May is a maddening month for most gardeners, as we want to enjoy the sunshine and start playing in the garden. Unfortunately, cool nights and late frosts can destroy all our good work if we plant and sow too early. Your maxim then is to plant and sow, when all danger of frost has passed. In the mean time, keep mowing and edging the lawn – removing moss and weeds as necessary. Then spray your roses with a combined fungicide and insecticide, to keep away any signs of blackspot and green fly. Prevention is better than cure. Perennial plants are growing strongly, so start staking the taller varieties like delphiniums, dahlias etc – to stop them being blown over and broken in strong winds. Dahlias and chrysanthemums should be planted out after the last frost. Hardy bedding plants can be planted 32 | SUBURBAN MAGAZINE
out at the end of this month, providing they have been hardened off. Half hardy items are better kept under cover until the weather is warmer. As your spring flowering bulbs go over, take all the dead heads off and give the plants a dose of fertiliser to bulk up the bulbs for next year. If the clumps are congested, or have flowered poorly, split them up and replant at a good depth. Forsythia, ribes and other spring flowering shrubs may be pruned after flowering to keep them to a reasonable size. In the vegetable garden, or growing in pots, potatoes which have been chitted can be planted now. Seeds can be sown of parsnips, carrots, Swedes, beetroot and all the brassicas family. Leave the runner and French beans towards the end of the month, together with all your salad crops. If your herb bed is looking forlorn, dig up the plants and split them before replanting to reinvigorate. Finally, the slugs are out and active, so use your favourite remedy to save your garden.
