Karols Korner Have the January Blues struck yet? Maybe it’s time to book up the diary with some thing to look forward to, this is the right time for me to plan a few key events over the year so as I have something to look forward to every 8-10 weeks.

Five Tips To Feed The Flame by Kate McLelland Ask any long-established, middle-aged couple how they keep romance alive, and there’s a good chance they will laugh out loud. It’s not surprising. All those shared experiences of childrearing, family crises, career ups-and-downs and house moves can leave you with a “joined-at-the hip” feeling that’s a million miles away from the attraction to an exotic “other” \RX IHOW ZKHQ \RX ÀUVW IHOO LQ love. The number of people aged sixty years and over heading off to the divorce courts (aptly dubbed “Silver Splitters”) has ULVHQ E\ IRUW\ ÀYH SHU FHQW RYHU the last decade and one of the main reasons for this dramatic statistic is that people are now living longer and seeking more from their relationships. So what is the secret when it comes to keeping love alive? +HUH DUH ÀYH NH\ WLSV WR NHHS your relationship fresh: 1. Challenge yourself and your partner Trying out new pastimes and hobbies or travelling to new places can be great ways to revive a tired relationship, but the key word here is “new”: it’s important to move out of your comfort zone. You’ll be surprised how quickly the spark returns

when you do something unexpected or face a challenge together. 2. Hug more, praise more Have you both fallen out of the habit of touching, hugging and smiling? Giving the odd kiss or word of encouragement? It may be GLIÀFXOW WR VWDUW KXJJLQJ DQG kissing your partner if you don’t usually behave in that way, but begin by looking for small opportunities to offer praise and physical reassurance and gradually build up from there. With luck – and given enough time - your partner will respond in the same way. If not, then have an honest discussion about why physical contact is important to you. 3. Don’t create your own stereotypes You’re not “mum” and “dad” to each other. Avoid the trap of falling into cosy stereotypes that prevent you from expressing your individuality. Remember that friends and family may also be reluctant to see you change, so gently assert yourself if you’re feeling under pressure to conform to their expectations. 4. Eavesdrop on your own conversations Listen to yourself as you talk

with your partner and make a mental note of any negative conversational habits. Some couples constantly put each other down, while others know each others’ thoughts VR ZHOO WKH\ WHQG WR ÀQLVK each others’ sentences. Neither approach is particularly helpful if you want to refresh your relationship, so if you’re not happy with what you hear, start working out ways to improve your communication. 5. Don’t be afraid of nostalgia There’s no shame in indulging in a little nostalgia. 5HYLVLW WKH PXVLF \RX ÀUVW listened to together, look at old photographs and go to places that were once important to you both. Enjoy your shared history and think back to the spark that made it all happen. You’ll need courage and honesty to break down habits that have built up over years. It may take time for the process to work, but it will be worth it in the end. If you can tap into some of the excitement of your youth by discovering new interests and rediscovering old pleasures, there’s every FKDQFH \RX·OO UHOLJKW D ÁDPH that will keep you warm for many years to come.

SPOTLIGHT ON

SAINT MARKS PLACE Under new ownership with Big plans to help bring more vitality to the town and provide Newark’s loyal customers with an attractive retail environment. The 150,000sq ft open air shopping centre has recently welcomed 2 new retailers, La Di Da, a specialist ladies Occaasion Wear boutique, and Trespass, the outdoor clothing and Pursuits specialist. Alongside major retail brands such as M & S, Wilkinsons, New Look & Game, there really is something for the whole family at St Marks. St Marks is also full of independent retailers, offering a wide array of products & services, from beautiful flowers, to local artists work. You can even while away some time having coffee or lunch overlooking the market square. Following the recent letting to Trespass and Ladida, Topland have agreed to let Unit 11 to another National Retailer that will bring a new and exciting use to the scheme. Topland are also in discussions with a range of major retailers on Unit 7 and 21. Solicitors are instructed to let a unit in Saracens Head Yard to a local independent trader which will further reinforce the variety of offers in this scheme. St Marks has been acquired by a 8

privately owned property investment company, “ Topland Group of Companies”. in May 2015 for over £19m. The scheme is anchored by major national retailers, Marks and Spencer and Wilkinson, along with a 512 space secure NCP car park and 32 retail units with other High Street names including New Look/Game/Holland & Barrett/WH Smiths. The scheme forms an integral part of Newark’s attractive central retail area linking the historic Market Place and Stodman Street with the town’s bus station / the towns principle covered car park operated by NCP and a major new Asda store. The purchase forms part of Topland’s drive to acquire more shopping centres / major multi let assets and follows their acquisition of the Saddlers Centre in Walsall in 2013. Topland have retained specialist retail agents GCW (London) and FHP (Nottingham) to lease the remaining 4 vacant units and to create new exciting retail space to attract more household names to Newark and Saint Marks Place, in particular.

Topland have also engaged major international architect, Benoys, who are based locally in Newark, to prepare a rebranding/signage/streetscape project for the scheme, which they hope to progress in 2015 . Benoys will be coming forward

with a plan appraisal in spring that will give the scheme an improved environment and strengthen the links with Market Place and Stodman Street. Topland are also pleased to announce the launch of a new

website to promote Saint Marks Place and provide an interactive relationship with its customers/retailers. www.saintmarksplace.co.uk. The site provides up to date information on all retailers within the scheme and provide

news on upcoming events and offers from various retailers. One of the retailers at St Marks Place is St Marks Gallery, who have a couple of local artists in the Gallery every day painting. They are happy to talk to you about their work and you can purchase original works of art from them. Whilst Unit 7 is free, the gallery will work with Topland, to provide special events and exhibitions. Posters are in place requesting musicians and street performers to register their interest. There are only three rules, no racist material, no bad language and no political motivated performances. These three rules have no flexibility There has already been a great response, and a covered area is being looked at to allow electrical facilities to allow for musicians instruments and amplifiers. So if you'd like to be involved in a slot showing your skills, then call in at the gallery to register your interest. GoPhotography are also looking at the following ideas. Newark Past and Present - Here we asking the public to bring in their old photographs of Newark on selected days, and we can either scan and reprint these or exhibit the originals as part bog the exhibition. We will then try and find these places in the photographs and take an up to date picture to show the changes over the years. We did this once for Balderton, and it proved very successful. So we need your pictures now. Call in to express your interest in supplying pictures, so we can plan several open days where you can bring these in. 10

"Me and my Mum/Dad" - This is not for a competition, but a studio shoot as a great idea for a present as Mothers Day and Fathers Day come round again. Again ask at the gallery or call GoPhotography on 01636 614040 We are also looking at an Industrial event, and we'll be approaching Flowserve to see if we can exhibit the history of this great local company. Formerly Worthington Simpson, In 1901 the company established itself in Newark and built the factory on Hawton Lane, Balderton, Newark. The company became part of the Flowserve Corporation in 2001. Approximately 300 people are employed at Newark, and through new and old images, show the contribution of the company to the people of Newark. We'll also be running several general photography competitions with GoPhotography, and these will be; "Newark's Next Top Model" Looking for male or females looking for a photo-shoot. "Me and My Horse/Pony", Here we'll come out and take a series of images with your horse or pony. "My Pet Portrait" - Bring your pet in or take them to an allocated photo place and get a great shot for memories. All these are free to enter and cost nothing for the studio or location shoot. Images taken will be shown to the entrants before publication, allowing

And Another Thing... by Tom Hughes

Spring being just around the corner reminded me of the time last year me and Sarah decided to visit a wedding show to give us some inspiration for our impending Big Day.

as well go home now.” Chastened, we proceeded down the next aisle. Walking past photographers and old men in peaked caps waving pictures of Rolls Royces, I stumbled upon the strangest stall I had ever seen. A woman was sitting behind a counter which contained nothing more than a few photographs. Then I saw it. Behind her, sat on its perch was a real life tawny owl. Yellow and black saucer eyes, a beak designed for eviscerating rodents and claws that could probably VWULS \RXU ÁHVK GRZQ WR WKH bone. I whispered to Sarah -

The lady smiled as I leaned forward and asked, “You haven’t by any chance got a pea green boat and a pussy cat hidden under there have you?” Another sharp dig from 6DUDK 7KURXJK D À[HG VPLOHG she explained to me that the owl’s job was to deliver the rings at the ceremony ² Á\ DFURVV WKH YHQXH WR WKH handler who would present them to the best man. “Yes but then who signs for them?

“Our guests post their cards inside them so they don’t get lost.”

“Do you think she’s got her events mixed up? Do you think she knows this is a wedding show?”

I was then dragged away to a tax-dodging generic coffee emporium, where Sarah had to have a little word.

“Well that’s no good for us is it?”

“Of course she knows it’s a wedding show.”

“Why?”

“Then what is she doing here with that owl?”

So, after a good talking to, we continued with our investigations. But there seemed nothing here that was of any practical use for the Groom About Town. It was then I chanced upon the kind of stall I had been waiting for all day - the eyebrow stall!

I elbowed my way to the front of the queue, muttering something about sorting out the caterpillars above my eyes. “Tom, please don’t.” But it was too late. I presented my eyebrows to the nice lady. She glanced from one fuzzy outcrop to the other, emitting a worrying tuttut with each inspection. “Well sir, it’s gonna take a lot of hard work, but together, we’ll get there.” She then rolled out a set of miniature tools that were either for repairing the disaster above my eyes, or she had stolen a Lilliputian’s car repair kit. She then produced a tiny comb and proceeded to comb my eyebrows (I’m not

making this up by the way). Then suddenly, some powder appeared. Wary of edging into guy-liner territory, I was about to object when she reassured me, “Don’t worry about the powder sir, it’s waterproof.” This confused me further. “Madam, I anticipate my wedding day being emotional. However, I don’t think I’ll be reciting my vows whilst standing on my head. In any case, I thought you might be trimming them, I believe the correct term is shaping? She stopped in mid-powder. “I’m sorry sir, we don’t do that here. That’s a different stall.” I turned to Sarah who, noting that I appeared to be wearing a slightly more alarmed expression than usual,

declared that maybe arranging our wedding was something best left to the experts, which as it transpired, didn’t include me. “Look Tom,” she sighed, “On the day, just turn up and leave the rest to your bride, OK?” I think life goes smoother if we all just play to our strengths, don’t you?

Health Tackling Tinnitus

Use Locally - Issue 22 February 2015

By Alison Runham www.alison.runham.co.uk can cause temporary hearing loss and tinnitus, and need to be treated swiftly. Damage to the hair cells in your ear â&#x20AC;&#x201C; these delicate cells decrease as we age, and can be damaged by exposure to loud noise too. This can cause hearing loss, which in turn can make tinnitus more noticeable. Stress and anxiety - they may make tinnitus more noticeable. 6RPH SHRSOH Ă&#x20AC;UVW QRWLFH tinnitus during or after an emotional upheaval, such as redundancy or bereavement.

This month, Tinnitus Awareness Week takes place on 2nd - 8th February, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important; according to the British Tinnitus Association, around 30% of people will experience tinnitus at some point in their lives. Yet many of us donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really understand what it is, or what to do if we suffer from it. So letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tackle the most common PLVFRQFHSWLRQ Ă&#x20AC;UVW

The causes arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t clear. Even audiology experts donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t fully understand tinnitus. But itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more common in people with hearing loss or ear problems, although people with normal hearing get it too. Normally, sounds travel into the ear and nerves take the signals to your brain for processing. But your ears canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t always tell whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important. They send unnecessary information to the brain and when it canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t cope, LW Ă&#x20AC;OWHUV RXW ZKDW LW FODVVLĂ&#x20AC;HV as unnecessary background sound, such as the hum of a IULGJH RU WUDIĂ&#x20AC;F QRLVH

If you think you have tinnitus, donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t panic.

Our members have attended as Guards of Honour at the opening of several memorials to those lost whilst serving in the R.A.F. In August of last year we opened the Memorial to commemorate the R.A.F. Station at Balderton and to Honour those of all Nations that were lost whilst operating from that Site. The Memorial is situated within the Grounds of the Lancaster Grange Care Home at FernWood just off the A1 on the southern edge of Newark. The site and the Monument were donated by the Barchester Health Care Company and the site is maintained by them. Anyone wishing to visit the site can do so by booking in at the Home reception. We are totally financed by Public donations and work carried out by our members, these include manning stalls, Collecting during our annual Wings Appeal and distributing collecting boxes. The Wings appeal takes place in September over the Battle of Britain period. During this time we make static collections in as many Stores and Venues as Possible, these collections depend on how many personnel we can raise to cover the numbers of sites. During our 4 Years we have manage to collect ÂŁ 9.400.00 to wards the appeal. More members could mean that we would be able to cover some sites in a different manner and hopefully increase our collections. Branch meetings are held on the first Wednesday of each month. 7.30 in the Church Hall. Main St. Balderton [ opposite Tesco ]. ALL ex-R.A.F. are welcome to attend and associate membership is open to other services or civilians who would like

to help and support. Come in and Meet Us.

A New Year, A New Broom

Are you sitting at home, enjoying a blazing fire and keeping warm on these cold winter nights? How about thinking of re-vitalising some of your furniture? Simply giving it a coat of paint, - don’t think this will be too daunting! Here at Newark Paint and Hardware we have the answer to transform your furniture. Painting dated and second-hand pieces of furniture is one of the big interior decorating trends. It gives furniture a new lease of life and provides a perfect means of adding colour and interest to a room – without spending lots of money. It can be a piece of furniture whose appearance you have tired of, or maybe even a bargain from a charity shop. A sideboard for the lounge perhaps? A bedside table, a wardrobe or perhaps a kitchen table and chairs. Look beyond the current finish of your furniture and imagine how good it will look painted. Choosing the right colour is very important, of course. Beautifully coloured furniture can instantly lift the appearance of your home. Rustoleum Chalky Finish Furniture Paint is the perfect paint for transforming your furniture, requiring very little preparation, and no sanding or priming is required on the majority of surfaces. So what are you waiting for? Call in at Newark Paint and Hardware and look at the furniture for sale instore and talk to Jon for free professional advice. He will make you most welcome.

Buy to let (BTL) vs. Buy to sell (BTS) Trying to compare an apple to an orange By Chris Gillon I thought it might be helpful to discuss the differences between buy to let and buy to sell, because they often fall under the overall heading of "property investment". However, I don't see BTS in that light at all! To me, it is comparing an apple to an orange. I thought I would make some comparisons here, to clarify why I think that: Buy to let is largely a passive income strategy. You purchase a property, you rent it out to a tenant, the property (hopefully) delivers net cash flow per month. In other words, set and forget. Buy to sell is much more like a J.O.B. You find a property, in some cases add value, then you then sell to release the profit. You pay tax on that profit. You need to have the next project in the pipeline to move on to to keep the cash flowing. It is much more hands-on and you have to be in the driving seat to ensure that you end up with a net profit after the sale. You have to bear the costs of acquiring and selling property too, and these eat into your profits. Buy to let involves tenants. Tenants are out clients, therefore we need to think like "service providers" and we need to be compliant to over 70 government statutes and regulations. Buy to sell does not involve any tenants At the end of the project, you sell. The property remains empty, possibly eating into your profit, until the sale completes. A BTL'er has the mentality of being involved for the long term. That means long term thinking and delaying gratification. A BTS'er has the mentality of being involved for the short term.

That means short term thinking and seeking "instant gratification". A BTL'er is running a business with clients to satisfy. We may be in long term relationships with our tenants. A BTS'er is trading a commodity. There is an end user in mind - the buyer, but the relationship is very short term and, once the property is sold, the BTS'er will not have any further connection with that property or the buyer. BTL is an investment on which you seek a profit over the medium to long term. You can build a herd of cash cows that you can milk for cash flow month on month. Taking equity release from them is like breeding from them to build other assets. BTS is making a profit by trading a commodity. You buy a cow, fatten it up, and then slaughter it to release the profit and buy another cow. What other differences to you see?

In the living room, opt for a plump and (of course) comfortable sofa, chaise longue or armchair in a traditional style, piled with cushions and bolsters trimmed with lace, embroidery or buttons, while in the kitchen an old-fashioned dresser is just the thing, piled with vintage patterned crockery.
