18TH ANNUAL SHEFFIELD DOC/FEST THIS WEEK Now in its 18th year, Sheffield Doc/Fest the most important documentary and digital media festival in the UK - packs an impressive 120 films and 70 sessions into five intense days, starting tomorrow 8 June with Morgan Spurlock’s Pom Wonderful: The Greatest Movie Ever Made.

Unique in the UK film festival calendar with its highly successful market place, which, in 2010 resulted in an injection of over £20million (through sales and investment) into the documentary

industry. This year boasts another impressive film line-up - including a new outdoor screening programme on Devonshire Green - Sheffield Doc/ Fest looks set to attract record number of industry delegates and film-going public through its doors this week.

The guest line-up including Morgan Spurlock, Molly Dineen, Nick Broomfield, Albert Maysles, Steve James and Adam Curtis plus Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall, Mark Thomas, Ozwald Boateng and Pat and Sam from My Big Fat Gypsy

Wedding, together with the new June dates, have contributed to create an unprecedented pre-festival buzz among delegates and press this year.

This year’s festival is embracing the current rise in protest and revolution.

The conference session on Saturday 11 June: The Revolution Will be Tweeted includes presentations from people at the heart of the Arab Spring who broke through the various regimes attempts to curtail internet traffic. These so called Hacktivists operate in a grey area between what’s

Domestic & Commercial Flooring

legal and what’s right but they, together with people grabbing raw footage with hand-held devices, have made history and forced change in the MiddleEast. On Sunday 12 June the festival closes with a screening of the Tunisian film No More Fear directed by Mourad Ben Cheikh, which premiered at this year’s Cannes Film Festival. Elsewhere within the film programme a number of films take a look at the wider protest movements: If a Tree Falls: A Story of the Earth Liberation Front directed

by Marshall Curry;

Just Do It directed by Emily James; Up in Smoke directed by Adam Wakeling; Wiebo’s War directed by David York; You’ve Been Trumped directed by Anthony Baxter; Inside Job directed

by Alex Gibney; Zero Silence directed by Javeria Rizvi Kabani, Jonny Von Wallstrom, Alexandra Sandels and UK Uncut directed by Gemma Atkinson, Fred Grace.

Other festival highlights includes a surprise screening and of Kevin MacDonald and YouTube’s Life In A Day on Saturday 11 June. On

Wednesday 8 June, Jeanie Finlay, the director of Sound It Out - about the only surviving vinyl shop in the North East - will attend the festival with her pink and portable juke box! And on Thursday 9 June the French artist Jean Marc Calvet, subject of Dominic Allan’s Calvet, will adorn the wall of the Sheffield Showroom bar with his distinctive artwork.

All films and many sessions are open to the public. For more information visit: www. sheffdocfest.com.

Weekly Wit With...

ALBERT SNODGRASS

A man died and went up to heaven. Upon arriving he noticed two signs One said “Men Who Are Bossed By Their wives,” the other one said “Men Not Bossed By Their Wives.”

After closer inspection he noticed that while next to the first sign was a big line, by the second sign there was just man. After getting even closer he realized it was his friend Harry. “Hey Harry” the man questioned “what in the world are you doing here?

Your wife bosses you around more then anybody.”

“I don’t know” Harry replied “my wife told me to stand here.”

A man died and went to The Judgment, they told him , “Before you meet with God, I should tell you — we’ve looked over your life, and to be honest you really didn’t do anything particularly good or bad. We’re not really sure what to do with you. Can you tell us anything you did that can help us make a decision?”

The newly arrived soul thought for a moment and replied, “Yeah, once I was driving along and came upon a person who was being harassed by a group of thugs. So I pulled over, got out a bat, and went up to the leader of the thugs. He was a big, muscular guy with a ring pierced through his lip. Well, I tore the ring out of his lip, and told him he and his gang had better stop bothering this guy or they would have to deal with me!”

“Wow that’s impressive, “When did this happen?”

“About three minutes ago,” came the reply.

There’s a lot of doom and gloom around at the moment. Terrorists threaten to blow us sky high and North Korea is ready to start World War 3 that’s if anyone’s left after Goat Flu has finished us off. And then there’s the deadly strain of E.coli that’s doing the rounds – and I’ve not been this afraid to put something in my mouth since I foolishly agreed to take part in the ‘what type of sausage is this (in the dark)?’ competition at Wentworth Prison last year (it was a Bratwurst, if you’re wondering).

But there is some good news: Britain’s Got Talent is over for another year and the contestants are preparing for the live tour. The final saw Jai McDowall beat Ronan Parks to the finish. Normally, you’d get a smutty joke here involving the words “beating”, “off” and “finish”. But not today. Oh no, the all new hard-edged political columnist that I am, I’ve got my fingers around the meat of this story and I’m going to keep pulling until I get a reaction.

While there wasn’t as much talent in the 2011 series as previous years, which saw Spelbound and Diversity the runaway winners, I think the right man won, although I still love to see Jean bashing away on her organ every day of the week. The live shows are coming soon, and you can get more information by looking a few inches to the right where I hear they’re giving away free tickets. Go on, do it now.

They’re free!

Also at an end this week was Doctor Who, so don’t read on if you’ve not seen the final episode. The big reveal was that River Song is actually Amy and Rory’s baby (surprise). Well, it was a surprise only to those whose brains are made of moon cheese. This big revelation has been spoon fed to us since the start of the series, and while writer Stephen Moffat laughs in glee at his ‘cleverness’, the rest of us sighed in abject non astonishment at the “twist”. But wait, Moffat backpedals, you’ve not seen the end, there’s more secrets to come. So, expect to see River in the space suit shooting the Doctor at the end of the series (don’t worry, he’s not really dead). Personally, I’m hoping the writers will regenerate into a tub of lard; that way they might produce more interesting stories. The last episode was a valiant effort, but oh so transparent.

Right, time’s up and I’ve got a backstage pass to the Britain’s Got Talent rehearsal party. I hear it’s a “bring your own” buffet. Now, where did I put that German salad sandwich?

CASH FOR KIDS DAY RAISES £59K FOR TEENAGE CANCER TRUST AT WESTERN PARK HOSPITAL South Yorkshire’s generosity shines through as local charity Cash for Kids doubles fundraising target.

National debt and spending cuts don’t seem to be getting South Yorkshire folk down as the generosity they have shown towards local charity Cash for Kids has been tremendous! This has meant the charity has doubled its latest appeal fundraising target by raising a phenomenal £59,009.30!!

15 days ago Hallam FM and Magic AM’s Cash for Kids charity set out to raise £30,000 in just 10 days in aid of Teenage Cancer Trust at Western Park Hospital.

The appeal received a huge response from Hallam FM and Magic AM listeners who were touched by the stories of teenagers and their families who are being supported and treated at Teenage Cancer Trust at Western Park Hospital.

One of the stories was that of James Nutal from Barnsley. At the age of 17, James started experiencing night sweats and was constantly tired. After spending two months visiting GP’s and hospitals for test, he was diagnosed with Anaplastic Large Cell Lymphoma on Christmas Eve. He was transferred from his local hospital to Teenage Cancer Trust’s unit where he had seven months of chemotherapy.

Talking about his cancer experience, James says: “From the moment you hear the words that you have cancer, many things run through your brain at a great deal of speed. One is disbelief and now I can look back and remember the times in a weird awe for what I actually achieved. I constantly remind myself that the beating one of the toughest diseases known to man was no easy feat; whenever life gets tough and rough and it’s hard, I just need to remember that it isn’t as hard as what I had to deal with.”

Katy Winterschladen, Charity Manager for Hallam FM & Magic AM’s Cash for Kids commented on the final total: “We really can’t thank everyone enough for their involvement, support and donations. We are so grateful to everyone who has been fundraising and donating towards our Cash for Kids Day, it will make such a difference. We have seen such huge support from hundreds of generous businesses and individuals from all across South Yorkshire.

Dawn Carney-Stirman, Regional Manager for Bauer Radio’s Cash for Kids said: “This is an absolutely amazing achievement and I feel so very proud of our charity, our stations and presenters for the huge amount of on air support and of course the listeners for their generosity. When people are facing hard times themselves, what a truly amazing amount of generosity we have seen in such a short time.”

Hallam FM wanted to say a massive thank you to South Yorkshire, so on Cash For Kids Day they took all the presenters and Cash For Kids team on the road including Courage the Cat (The Cash for Kids Mascot). JLS, The Feeling and Clare Maguire leant their support too, by recording some exclusive on-air performances from The Hallam FM Soundstage.

Cash for Kids is now looking forward to their Cash for Kids Hollyoaks Charity Football Match at Don Valley Stadium on Saturday 18th June. To register for tickets or play in the Hallam FM All Stars Team against Hollyoaks please visit the website www. hallamfm.co.uk

WEDDING VENUE

Weekly Psychic Article by Psychic Glynis

Zodiac Friends We all have friends, some good and some bad! The worst kind of friend is the borrower that never pays you back but will always expect you to help them out of a risky situation. You’ll have jealous friends that will copy everything you do and will be happy if they manage to get one up on you. Then you’ll have your good friends that are always there no matter what. I have many friends but only four special friends who I can rely on.

They aren’t my friends because of my psychic ability.

Some ‘friends’ will just ring up and say ‘I need you to tell me this..’ I probably won’t have seen or heard from them for years. I chose my friends carefully and they will be my friends forever.

08/06/11 Sheffield 50+ - The Voice of Older People Heard Nationally Warning Farewell Community Assemblies for Patrick Council Tax Payers Sheffield City Council website

Sheffield City Council (SCC) has been made aware that a number of their customers are being contacted about their council tax. These callers are advising that an overpayment of council tax has been made and that if bank account details are provided the overpayment can be refunded.

In some cases these people say they work for SCC or that they are representing SCC. These calls are not from SCC and they urge customers not to return these calls. Under no circumstances should customers provide this information to these callers.

Calls falsely claiming a rebate SCC is aware of another telephone scam that targets council tax payers, falsely claiming they are due a council tax rebate.

Households have received calls from crooks claiming to be Valuation Office Agency or our officials who advise them that they are eligible for thousands of pounds in council tax rebate.

People are being asked to send the caller their credit card or bank account details so the money can be refunded. Other scams ask for a oneoff administration fee to process the refund.

Door step scams SCC have also received reports from other councils in the country that residents are being approached by

people door-knocking and asking the same questions. These crooks appear to be targeting vulnerable residents.

These calls and visits are not from SCC or the Valuation Office Agency and we urge customers not to provide any information or payment to these callers. Under no circumstances would SCC ever request a payment from a customer in order to refund any monies owing.

Don’t give your bank card details Other incidents have arisen where taxpayers are asked for details of who they bank with, and the caller then provides them with the first four digits of number on their debit card. They are then asked to confirm the other details on their card. This is not an approach SCC would take and taxpayers should not provide this information.

Beware calls saying you’re due £7,000 More recently, yet another Council Tax scam appears to be operating in our area. Apparently someone claiming to be from SCC is telephoning customers to state that ‘As they have been good Council Tax payers they are eligible for a payment of up to £7000’. They have been left a London telephone number to contact.

As always with these issues, these calls are not from SCC and under no circumstances should you be giving anyone your bank details.

CONTACT SCC IF YOU’RE TARGETED If you receive one of these calls or visits please let SCC know immediately, with as much information as you can, by emailing at council. tax@sheffield.gov.uk or by phoning on 0114 2736633 .

SCC would also like to ask anyone who receives a call or visit similar to these to contact South Yorkshire Police on 0114 2202020.

LOOK TO THE LADIES Look to the ladies!

Suffering from lack of day time trade? Wondering how to improve your takings during the day?

There is a real movement within the pub trade to attract ladies – with Molson Coors creating the BitterSweet Partnership, aimed at changing its reputation and relationship with lady customers.

“A lack of seating and cleanliness and poor music choice put women off visiting their local pub,” says Kristy McCready, BitterSweet communications partner. “However, one-third of women visit a pub at least once a fortnight and nearly three-quarters opt for their local, with food being one of the key reasons.

“With one in five women preferring beer at the pub and 8% wanting a wide choice of beers, how about recommending beers with dishes and publicising tantalising details about your offer, rather than just naming ales on your blackboard?”

“We’re not asking licensees to paint the walls pink or use potpourri. If you want women to dine at your pub, create a more welcoming, fresher environment with better seating and a great choice of beers.”

Take the example of Adam Holland, manager of the Old Dairy in north London’s Crouch Hill, who noticed that daytime trade lacked regular custom and energy, and stumbled on the idea of a daytime Mothers’ Club.

“Now mums can meet here, chat and enjoy lunch in a friendly environment with an area designed for babies who are not yet mobile.

“The club runs every Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday from midday to 5pm, offering a lighter, priceconscious menu, including smaller examples of evening dishes, such as sausage & mash for £7 instead of £10, plus free soft-drink refills.

“We’ve plenty of unused daytime space and run the club with minimum disturbance. Trade has increased by £100 to £200 per day, with 10 to 20 mums coming in.” Birthdays, christenings and parents returning for evening meals generate extra business.

HOORAY, HORRAY, ITʼS A HOLI-HOLIDAY MAGIC AM

by Trevor Thomas

I don’t know about you but I’ve seen so many parallels being drawn between this year and that year of the record breaking summer, 1976.

35 years ago, the tender age of 8 at the time and I can remember so clearly the warnings after all that hot weather, and then going away for a fortnight with the family and seeing mass swarms of ladybirds clinging on to the railings on the sea front.

There are already threats of a drought after such a mild spring but it has been wonderful to enjoy such a great spell of warm sunshine in the last few days, so here’s hoping at least some of the great weather will hang around.

If you haven’t booked your holiday yet, or even if you have, we have some great news this week at Magic.

We have managed to secure another dream holiday for two to the island of Bermuda to give away. Just seven hours away flying direct from London Gatwick Airport, you will get to stay at the Fairmont Southampton resort and enjoy a 7 day break taking in the capital Hamilton, the island’s sights and celebrations and the gorgeous pink sand beaches.

Just make sure you’re listening through the day on Friday for details of an easy to answer competition question, have a go and you could be a winner.

EYES DOWN VOICE OF THE NIGHTINGALE PART 2 CLUBHISTORIANS.CO.UK

by Ruth Cherrington

Last week I wrote about some of the origins of bingo and how it was played hundreds of years ago in many places in Europe. But it could be found further afield. One traveller to Mexico in the early part of 19th century found that it was going great guns there.

There were 90 numbers, with cards of 3 horizontal lines and 9 vertical ones and those playing would have grains of corn to mark off their numbers. This version seems to be the standard one we play today more or less in the same format though we have different tickets each with only 3 vertical lines per ticket. It crossed the border into the USA and was a popular game in County carnivals. In 1929, the travelling salesman Edwin Lowe was passing by one in Georgia and found people playing the game using beans. Not surprisingly it was called Beano. He saw its addictiveness as people kept wanting one more game and he went on to develop it commercially.

He also involved the help of a mathematician to work out formulas for the random numbers on the tickets so no two tickets were the same. It was a game for private gain but churches held beano games to raise money for charitable causes and this still goes on the States.

When my sister first arrived in Iowa, for example, she was taken to a church game and was quite surprised to see people playing bingo with corn kernels as markers!

How did it get to be called bingo?

Legend has it one woman who called out was so excited that she called bingo instead of Beano.

The name stuck. So did it cross the Big Pond from the USA in this form to our clubs? Perhaps but we must remember it was being played in other countries where we had armies stationed and the European version was a popular military game according to bingo historian Carolyn Downs. It’s probably that former services people were used to the game and wanted to carry on playing in peacetime. After the war, people played the game at home but clubs saw it as a useful recreational activity and its popularity spread from the 1950s onwards. But it was quite strictly regulated in terms of pay outs and rules and if clubs didn’t pay due regard to the law, they could be prosecuted. Clubs were not meant to be ‘common gaming houses’ and had to make sure that no private gain was made by the club or committee.

All takings were to paid out to the players. Over the years, the Gaming and Gambling Acts were frequently changed and clubs became more aware of what they could and couldn’t offer in terms of bingo games and winnings. So, next time to get set to have your eyes down, dobber at the ready, remember the Mexicans, the Italians, Germans and many others who shared a love of and perhaps a bit of addiction to this game!

RADIO NIGHTINGALE

by Mel Jacques

The Radio Nightingale Sunshine lottery has changed! There is now just one draw per week but the top prize is £25,000. The cost is still £1 per line. Prizes are available for matching three through to all six numbers correctly, and all prizes are guaranteed with no sharing if more than one person matches the sequence.

The Radio Nightingale lottery winning numbers are taken from Fahrenheit temperatures around Europe, with the last digit of the temperature in six cities forming the winning sequence with which your numbers must match.

Not only has this change increased your prizes, but the money the lottery makes for Radio Nightingale is even bigger too! The Sunshine Lottery is administered by The Weather Lottery and a huge 45% of proceeds will be coming to Radio Nightingale.

If you’re interested in joining our lottery to win the new jackpot of £25,000 you can register online at www.weatherfunds.co.uk or contact us for an information leaflet.

Radio Nightingale broadcasts 24 hours a day, 7 days a week for the patients and staff of the Rotherham General Hospital on 945 &1350mw and Hospedia. For more information about the station visit www.radionightingale.org.uk Contact us on 01709 304244 for more information on volunteering.

INTERVIEW by KT Evans DUTCH UNCLES

A Dutch Uncle: A person who issues frank, harsh and severe comments and criticisms to educate, encourage or admonish someone. Do Manchester’s ‘intelligent’ indie band embody these characteristics in any shape or form…well no, they don’t. In fact quite the opposite. Having been at the brunt of some pretty mixed press surrounding their second album and UK debut release ’Cadenza’ in April 2011, Dutch Uncles have quickly grown a thick skin and, with a positive yet realistic outlook on their future, are shrugging off ‘haters’ to do things their own way.

You know what they say…it’s better to be talked about than not at all. Dutch Uncles, take note.

‘Cadenza,’ the debut UK album release for the fivepiece has, it’s fair to say, had more mixed reviews than Liam Gallagher’s solo project Beady Eye. No one really knows quite what to make of it. Other than Dutch Uncles. Evidently aware of the stir they are causing, attitudes reflected by the band are that off optimism and success. ‘We wouldn’t want to be tucked in everyone’s pockets. The fact is that with every bad review that says it isn’t achieving, they always pick out something different whereas with all the good reviews they always pick out something different aswell. So I like the fact that there’s no real general consensus.’

But is this all just a façade to cover up the fact that

if you have any news, reviews, releases/events you’d like us to cover please forward details to info@mercurynewspaper.co.uk

Dutch uncles have not been received aswell as they hoped? ‘We’re taking (the mixed reviews) quite well. You get quite ambitious when you’re in the studio but once you’ve lived with the album for half a year, you start to realise how small it is… all press is good press though.’ And good on them.

Demonstrating that one man (or a band) really can be an island, Dutch Uncles don’t need to be pandered to; they’re realistic, something which comes as a breath of fresh air, yet they can reap comfort in knowing that, at the end of the day, they’re ultimately doing what they want. ‘We’re seeing this as a new beginning, we’re really proud of what we’ve done.’

Following on from ‘Cadenza’s UK launch, this coming July will see the release of ‘XO,’ a synth, electro inspired single, with distinct influences from the likes of Tears For Fears, one of the bands biggest references whilst writing ‘Cadenza.’ ‘We started doing tracks into tracks on the same lines as each other, the same style, because (Tears for Fears) mastered that. The way they do head over heels is brilliant, how it’s just between two songs.’

With the plan of releasing a further two more tracks from the album, with the recent backing of a new record label Memphis Industries, the band are now focusing on music videos, which historically has been somewhat…problematic for them. ‘We made one with me in a wedding dress. It’s kind of cool in a League of Gentlemen way! It’s all about making videos now.’ Let’s hope wedding dressing aren’t going to be making an appearance again then!

PREVIEW by KT Evans ARCTIC MONKEYS HOMECOMING ‘The View from (Friday and Saturday) afternoon’ is going to be a damn special one…a major ‘Cornerstone’ for Sheffield music. And chances are, you’d be a ‘Mardy Bum’ if you haven’t got a ticket. You might just find yourself ‘Crying Lightning.’ This seems to be working less and less, however we’re sure you get our drift…Arctic Monkeys are back! This weekend, the hugely anticipated hometown gigs are set to blow all who witness through the make-shift roof of Don Valley Bowl, the location for one of Sheffield’s most exciting live music events to date.

So, have you got your tickets through the post?

Have you bought ‘Suck It and See?’ Have you spent relentless hours making you ‘Future Mrs Turner’ poster which, chances are, you will get taken off you anyway? Good. Prepare yourself for true Northern comradery…10th and 11th June have been creeping up on us and before we know it, this heavily discussed weekend has arrived. Not only portraying Sheffield as a leader in the British Music scene, these two gigs are a perfect example of hometown pride…Alex, Jamie, Nick and Matt, welcome home.

Located bang outside Motor Point Area, The English Institute of Sport and Ice Sheffield, the make shift tent has a capacity of almost 10,000, with tickets for both Friday and Saturday selling out in less than one hour back in February. Friday 10th will play host to Sheffield band Dead Sons, Londoner’s The Vaccines and Miles Kane support, who will also be main support on Saturday 11th. Known for his smooth and sophisticated song writing ability, Miles Kane is former band mates with Alex Turner, in his number one solo album ‘The Age of The Understatement’ with The Last Shadow Puppets. Re-inverting back to his roots however, Arctic Monkeys are fuelled with adrenaline from their new album ‘Suck It and See,’ the long awaited fourth release under Domino Records. Saturday will see Mabel Love and Anna Calvi support, however, let’s be honest, it’s all about the Arctics!

The tent itself opens at 5pm on both days, with the support acts gracing the stage from 6-8:30pm.

The Arctic Monkeys are set to perform from 9pm, however we suggest in order to get a decent view, come as early as possible. The Super Tram is ideal if you are travelling from the City Centre as it stops outside the venue, but we aware of long queuing times. And just a quick reminder…remember your ticket!

In the UK 5.4 million people have asthma* but many people don’t realise that it’s a condition that can also affect our pets. Cats are most commonly affected and in summer the condition can be triggered by high levels of pollen.

PDSA Senior Veterinary Surgeon, Sean Wensley says: “There can be many triggers for asthma in affected pets, including pollen, aerosol sprays and cigarette smoke. The condition is worse in overweight animals so it is important that pets are fed and exercised correctly to maintain a healthy weight. Asthma can cause coughing, wheezing or difficulty breathing and if your pet is showing any of these signs it is important that they are seen by a vet straight away.”

Asthma has these effects because it causes the airways to narrow and increases the amount of mucus produced. The symptoms are usually treated with antiinflammatory drugs, together with drugs which open up the airways.

“It is essential that your home is as stressfree as possible for your pet” adds Sean.

“Stress can aggravate asthma and cats are particularly sensitive to stress so it is important that you maintain a routine and provide places where they can go to get away from hustle and bustle if they want to. Cats feel most secure when they can sit and sleep in an elevated position so giving them safe access to raised areas, such as the tops of cupboards and shelves, is ideal”.

Smoking is also a common asthma trigger that can easily be avoided. Secondhand cigarette smoke is a major factor contributing to our pets’ respiratory problems, so if you do smoke, keep your pet’s health and wellbeing in mind and smoke well away from them, ideally outside. Better still, why not give up altogether for the benefit of their health as well as your own?

Angler’s Corner

by Clint Walker

The fact is, most carpers fish with boilies at some time. Many of those carp anglers will take a boilie straight from the bag, pierce it, and then shove it on the hair before casting it out and hoping the bait will do all the work and catch the fish of a lifetime. To be fair, the quality of baits available today has improved greatly since the idea of boiled baits first surfaced, and many WILL catch straight from the bag, but, in this two part piece, I’d like to consider what you can do to boost your chances of catching on the humble boilie.

Size matters, if anglers around you are biteless on 18mm baits, then why try a 14mm or even two 10mm baits? If you are new to a venue this can provide a huge boost to your chances. I once fished a (well known) venue in Warwickshire and, after having my customary walk about for an hour, came to the conclusion that 95% of anglers were using 2 oz leads and dark coloured 16-18mm baits (and catching nothing). I decided to fish ‘The Method’ with a hook bait of two 10mm white boilies. Of the five fish that were caught that day, I had four! Two were well over 20lbs! So size DOES matter! (Don’t tell me you’ve never heard that before..........)

As mentioned above, colour counts too. If you are a regular to a fishery, then you may soon learn that a certain hue does far better than others. I’m currently fishing a NW pool that responds extremely well to black or very dark brown baits; put on a white bait in the same flavour....no chance, the carp will not go near it! Find out what this season’s fashion is, and you are onto a winner.

Once you find out what colour and size of bait to use, there are many other methods which can be used to increase catch rates. How many times have you just put a boilie on and lobbed it out without changing the shape of the bait? I’ve found out after I’ve spent many hours up trees, that big fish will often ignore whole baits in favour of chops or bits of boilies. The only reason I can think of is familiarity, and the danger they associate with picking up ‘bag ready’ bait. Cutting or breaking a boilie in half, then mounting it ‘back to back’ or ‘butterfly ‘ style can often trip up a wary fish. Mounting the two halves facing the same way can also give the appearance of free offerings which are starting to degrade. Fishing just half a bait on a short hair with a smaller hook (size 10-12 instead of 6-8) amongst a bed of broken bits can be deadly, especially in the margins where it can be carefully placed. Try it for yourself; do something a little bit different and see if it scores!

Racing Form

by Timelord

After the dizzy heights of the Epsom Derby we are back to earth with a bump this weekend as York and Sandown offer some pretty ordinary fare for Saturday’s TV racing. There are 7 races on Channel 4 and they all look well nigh impossible to solve. All seven races have animals that I assess as being within a few pounds of each other.

Six of them are fiendishly difficult handicaps, including one for lady amateur riders, and the other is a Listed contest for 3yos with several unexposed types taking on some last time out winners.

To complicate matters further the weather forecast for the next few days predicts unsettled and showery conditions so what state the ground will be in by Saturday can only be guessed at.

Taking it all into account it looks like a “keep your money in your pocket” weekend ahead of the Royal Ascot meeting next week.

Nevertheless I shall have a go at finding a few winners, although confidence is pretty thin, given the nature of the races, the uncertainty about the ground and the unexposed horses contesting the events.

York: The first televised race at 2.10 is the Queen Mother Cup an all-age 0-90 handicap over 12 furlongs for lady amateur riders. Without being disrespectful in any way it is hard enough to pick a winner in a tight handicap like this without having to factor in riding ability, particularly when there can be a wide gulf from the best to the worst and some the riders are totally unknown to punters. However, we do know that Sarena Brotherton is an excellent rider and she happens to link up with one of my top rated animals, Embsay Crag, who accordingly gets the vote to land this prize. Recent winners Trip The Light, Just Lille and Bavarica are much respected along with Record Breaker, Antigua Sunrise, Inspirina and Bowdler’s Magic in what should be quite an open race.

In the 2.40, a class 2 all-age 0-105 handicap over 9 furlongs, I would have been interested in Smokey Oakey if he had been showing any decent form of late but he looks to be in decline at present. Last time out winner Sam Sharp looks to be in good fettle however and he gets the nod in what looks a typically trappy event. Kay Gee Be, another recent scorer will be dangerous to dismiss, a remark that also applies to Smarty Socks and Balcarce Nov. Others with good chances are Gunner Lindley, Osteopathic Remedy and Vainglory.

In the 3.15, another 0-105 class 2 handicap but this time for 3yos over 6 furlongs, I like the look of the unbeaten Henry Candy inmate, Seal Rock, who gets a narrow vote over what looks to be a pretty good field of 3yos. Majestic Dubawi, down in class from group 1 races, heads a host of dangers. Jack Smudge, Madany, Dozy Joe and Bathwick Bear are all capable on their day as well. In a race where none can be totally discounted and many have yet to show their full potential the odds should reflect its open nature and may provide some decent value about the selection.

The York coverage concludes with another 3yo race, this time a 0-100 event over 10 furlongs.

Tim Easterby’s Mariachi Man put in some good performances last year and gets my top rating here.

He is followed in my ratings by Jehanbux, Iceblast and My Vindication but the two that interest me most are the two that have won their last couple of races, Fine Threads and Chain Lightning who both look to be on the upgrade. Narrow preference is for Fine Threads but the others will ensure that it is no cakewalk.

Sandown: Over at Sandown Park TV coverage kicks off at 2.25 with a 7 furlong 0-90 3yo handicap. With several recent winners in the field it is hard to predict what might happen in the race. However, I like the look of one that finished second last time, Malcolm Saunders’ Local Singer, and he earns the nod in a tight event.

Kingarrick, Barista, Shafgaan and Tipsy Girl are others that have good ratings and with last time out winners Jibaal, Anoint, May’s Boy, Qenaa, Johnny Castle and the unbeaten Sound Amigo also providing some stern opposition this looks a very difficult race.

At least the odds on offer should reflect the openness of the contest.

The 2.55 is an all-age 0-100 handicap over the same 7 furlongs. Here I have a real fancy for Ginger Ted, who won last time out but needs a few to drop out before he is sure to get a run. Again there are many dangers headed by: Fantasy Gladiator; Sunrise Safari; Perfect Silence; Axiom; Vitznau; Swift Gift; Our Jonathan and Mr. Rainbow.

The 3.30 is a Listed race over 5 furlongs for 3yos.

Night Carnation sets the standard and should prove hard to beat. Margot Did, Move In Time, Dinkum Diamond, Oor Jock, Pabusar, Arctic Feeling, Swiss Dream and The Thrill Is Gone head a host of dangers.

PITCH IMPROVEMENT NEW AWAY KIT AT THE LANE NOW ON SALE BLADES NEWS www.sufc.co.uk

Routine pitch maintenance has begun on the hallowed Bramall Lane turf.

The top 15mm, which includes all the grass, has been taken off the playing surface with the aim of relevelling and re-seeding ahead of the new season.

Bramall Lane’s Head Groundsman, Glenn Nortcliffe: “It’s been a busy season, it has been testing with the inclement weather, and the process we are going through now is to improve the pitch ahead of the new season.

“Since our last home game, we’ve had a busy time with additional matches that we’ve been committed to. However, the top is off now and within five weeks we’ll hopefully be having our first cut and making sure the pitch is ready for pre-season.”

The process, which also includes 30 tonnes of sand being applied to the surface as a dressing, is common in the close season and designed to assist new boss Danny Wilson play, what he has described as ‘his strong, attractive, effective brand of football’.

MAYOR DROPS BY TO SEE TO SEE MILLERS IN ACTION MILLERS NEWS www.themillers.co.uk

ROVER NEWS www.doncasterroversfc.co.uk

Doncaster Rovers Football Club can now confirm three pre-season fixtures, which will provide a prelude to the 2011/12 npower Championship campaign.

The Rovers open their pre-season schedule with the Club’s annual ‘community fixture’ against former Rovers midfielder Des Bennett’s Armthorpe Welfare side at the Welfare Ground on Thursday 7th July, kicking off at 7:30pm. The Rovers faced Armthorpe pre-season back in the summer of 2009 also, in the opening game of the pre-season fixture list ahead of the second season in the Championship.

Rovers will also travel to Blue Square Premier side Mansfield Town on Tuesday 19th July. The clash at Field Mill will see Rovers take on a Stags side at their Field Mill ground, kicking off at 7:30pm also.

The game will be the first meeting between the two sides since the 2006/07 season, where the Rovers took on Mansfield in the FA Cup Second Round.

The initial tie ended in a 1-1 draw, with the Rovers eventually emerging the winners in the replay at Belle Vue. Goals from Mark McCammon and Paul Heffernan either side of the half time break allowed Rovers to progress to the Third Round for a home clash against Bolton Wanderers.

The final game confirmed as part of Doncaster Rovers’ pre-season warm-up will see Sean O’Driscoll’s side take on League One outfit Sheffield United. The Blades, preparing for their first season in the third tier of English football, welcome the Rovers to Bramall Lane on Tuesday 26th July, with the game kicking off at the same time of 7:30pm.

Ticket information for the fixtures will be confirmed shortly, as will any further dates confirmed as part of Doncaster Rovers’ pre-season schedule.

And the confirmation of pre-season fixtures keep on coming, as Doncaster Rovers can now confirm that the side will take on Blue Square Premier side Grimsby Town ahead of the 2011/12 npower Championship season.

The Rovers will take on the Mariners at Blundell Park on Friday 29th July 2011, kicking off at 7:45pm.

Doncaster Rovers faced Grimsby Town during the summer of 2009 in pre-season competition, in a clash in which Mustapha Dumbuya shone during his trial with the Rovers. The last competitive meeting between Doncaster Rovers and Grimsby Town came in the 2007/08 Johnstone’s Paint Trophy, where Grimsby Town emerged winners via a penalty shootout.

ICE HOCKEY

By Sarah Youle

On Tuesday the Steelers announced the signing of power-forward Colt King. King, 29, hails from Calgary, and was drafted in the 4th round of the NHL 2001 entry draft (Colorado). In the 2004-05 season he played for the Augusta Lynx alongside Steelers favourite Rod Sarich.

“This guy will be a star and a fan favourite”, said Finnerty “Clubs in North America, Europe and the Elite League were trying to sign this guy, he is a big strong winger who hits, fights and also finds the back of the net as well. He was my number one summer target, the first guy I thought of when I took over in Sheffield.

He is the perfect Steeler type player and the fans will love him.”

Last week the details for the Continental Cup were announced, with Steelers facing off in the Third Round Group D tournament against HC Asiago (ITA), and Herning Blue Fox (DEN) who also play host to the tournament November 25-27th 2011. The Super Final will be held in Rouen January 13-15th 2012.

The Sheffield Steelers Supporters Club are now making plans for a road trip to the Continental Cup in Herning and have already nearly filled two coaches. Prices are TBC but more information will be posted at www.thesssc. co.uk as it becomes available.

SHEFFIELD Tigers saw their Premier League title hopes suffer a setback with a 48-43 defeat at Redcar on Friday.

The Owlerton side, fresh from impressive wins at Somerset and at home to the Teesside outfit, had high hopes of another success.

But they had to settle for a consolation point after a hard fought meeting at the South Tees Motorsport Park Former Middlesbrough man Shane Parker was the late hero with two wins in the final two races to make sure the Owlerton men claimed a losing bonus point.

After Sheffield had drubbed the Bears at Owlerton just 24 hours earlier, the Teessiders returned the compliment with two 5-1s in the first five heats to wrench open a 21-9 lead.

Eric Boocock’s side did reduce the when Simon Lambert and Parker notched a 5-1in the seventh, while Sheffield went on to provide five of the last six heat winners as guest Josef Franc – in for World U21 Semi Final-bound Josh Auty - claimed two crucial victories But Sheffield simply couldn’t find enough strength in depth to make a dent in the hosts’ slender advantage and they went into the final two races trailing 43-36 with Parker’s back-to-back victories giving Tigers some reward, including victory in the finale over the previously unbeaten Matej Kus. Boocock’s side now head to Berwick on Saturday, for their fourth meeting in five days, Aaron Summers guesting for Auty.

REDCAR BEARS: J. Lyons 13 ,M. Kus 12+2, G. Havelock 8+1, A. Summers 5+1, P. Larsen 5+1, R. Branford 3, L. Tomicek 2.

TIGERS: S. Parker 12+2, J. Franc 8+1 , R. Ashworth 8, S. Lambert 7+1, H. Skidmore 7, A. Birks 1+1.
