September has been a fabulous month! Fiver Fest in Newark and lots of great retail offers in the town, hope you started your Christmas shopping?

Talking of Christmas, its time to get those parties booked, Newark Showground are doing their usual fabulous evening parties and so is Greek Steakhouse, both really good value and with great entertainment. Take your “party to a party” themed nights, ideal for those of us who have a small business.

We have been doing well in the show ring this last couple of months having visited and competed in Ireland and T has become a Junior Champion (subject to IKC approval).

October, Autumn and Christmas are all on the horizon, so time to get out and about and take advantage of all that Newark has to offer.

I love Christmas!

Single people and couples could receive up to £13.07 and £14.75 of Savings Credit per week respectively. You may be entitled to one or both elements if you’ve reached state pension age, and are on a low income.

As you grow older, you become entitled to certain age-related SXEOLF EHQHĂ€WV DQG FRQFHVVLRQV that can help with day-to-day living. The most obvious is the state retirement pension, but what are the other less wellknown top-ups and concessions that might be available?

Although pension credit is D ZHOO HVWDEOLVKHG EHQHÀW not everyone realises they are eligible to claim it, so it’s worth checking whether you’re missing out on this valuable supplement to your state pension.

Additionally, there may be local authority concessions available in the area where you live IRU DGXOW HGXFDWLRQ RU ÀWQHVV classes, for example. Here are VRPH RI WKH EHQHÀWV WKDW \RX might be missing out on, plus a brief guide as to the current eligibility criteria.

PENSION CREDIT There are two elements to pension credit – Guarantee Credit which guarantees a minimum income of £155.60 if you’re single, and £237.55 for couples. The second element, Savings Credit, is for people who have saved a small amount towards their

ATTENDANCE ALLOWANCE Attendance Allowance is a EHQHÀW DYDLODEOH WR SHRSOH DJHG 65 or older, who have care needs at home. You don’t have to receive professional care to EH HOLJLEOH IRU WKLV EHQHÀW DQG it’s often the case that a careprovider is a spouse or family member.

There are two different rates available, depending on the level of care needed: • Lower rate: £55.10 per week. • Higher rate: £82.30 per week.

People who claim the lower rate often need help with washing and dressing, and the higher UDWH UHĂ HFWV JUHDWHU FDUH QHHGV during the day and night.

CARER’S ALLOWANCE If you care for someone for 35 hours a week or more, and they DUH LQ UHFHLSW RI FHUWDLQ EHQHÀWV you could get Carer’s Allowance at a weekly rate of £62.10. If you’re eligible, you will also automatically receive National Insurance credits.

It’s worth noting that Carer’s Allowance can affect other EHQHÀWV WKDW \RX DQG WKH person you are caring for receive, so you should factor in the possibility that these may reduce or be taken away.

WINTER FUEL ALLOWANCE You can receive between £100 and £300 from the government to help with your winter heating bills. To qualify for the winter payment this year, you need to have been born before 5th May 1953. Once you’ve claimed, you should receive the payment automatically between November and December in future years.

TV LICENCE You can apply for a free TV licence if you are aged 75 and over. The government also offers concessions to older people in residential care, and the cost for a licence in these circumstances is ÂŁ7.50.

PUBLIC TRANSPORT There are various concessions available for older people using public transport. Both men and women are entitled to a bus pass at the female state pension age, giving free offpeak travel on local buses.

PRESCRIPTIONS Those aged over 60 are also entitled to free prescriptions and NHS sight tests. You will need to complete the back of your prescription and let the pharmacist know that you’re eligible – you may also need to provide proof of age in this respect.

The government website (www. gov.uk) is a good resource for ÀQGLQJ RXW PRUH DERXW WKHVH EHQHÀWV DQG \RX PD\ EH DEOH to make a claim for them online.

Russell Grant how the STARS affect the stars of strictly come dancing class of 2016 Whether it’s for the fun of taking part in a national treasure, the glitz and glamour or the chance to impress judges with a perfect dance performance, what does astrology reveal about this year’s Strictly Stars?

ARIES thrives in a high pressure, highly competitive environment. With a strong desire to be the best of the best, they set high standards for themselves. Aries Actress Tameka Empson will show how strongly motivated Aries can be.

TAUREANS are realistic. They know what they are capable of and are best at focusing on slow, controlled movement. They work at their own speed and can’t be pushed. Taurus TV Presenter Laura Whitmore will reveal the incredible Taurus stamina.

GEMINI’S curiosity knows no bounds. They learn quickly, leaping from problem to solution without going through the usual steps inbetween. Gemini TV Personality Judge Rinder will communicate his Gemini wit and creativity through dance.

Ruled by the Sun, LEOS hold within themselves a determination and optimism so strong that they see opportunity in every challenge. Highly motivated TV Presenter Melvin Odoom will project the Leo zest for life through dance.

Conscientious VIRGO will feel a duty to perform to their best ability. Virgo Singer Anastacia will find a way to keep going despite the pressure this challenge puts on emotional and physical health.

Venus ruled LIBRANS love moving to music and will enjoy the social side, the glamour and the sparkling outfits as much as the dancing. Libran

Actress Lesley Joseph will have that sense of rhythm and creativity that all dancers need to perform well.

SCORPIOS will never quit unless forced to do so. Whatever they take on they put their heart and soul into it. Look to this year’s Scorpio Strictly Stars for lessons in resilience. Athlete Greg Rutherford will achieve through careful and consistent practice, TV Presenter Ore Oduba will try over and over again ‘til he gets it right. Singer Louise Redknapp’s can-do attitude will reflect the Scorpio’s stamina and Gymnast Claudia Fragapane will be looking to improve by learning new things.

CAPRICORN sets realistic goals and expectations. Strongly motivated and willing to put in the work, Singer Will Young’s passion and dedication will exemplify the Capricorn’s powerful ambition.

Always eager for new experience, AQUARIUS will have their own unique learning style.

Aquarians are not out to conform and their performance will leave a lasting impression.

Aquarius Model Daisy Lowe will show how fiercely independent an Aquarius can be all through her Strictly experience.

For PISCES it’s about the journey, not the destination. Any defeat motivates them for the next challenge. Pisces TV Presenter Naga Munchetty will rehearse and perform with enthusiasm and creativity. Politician Ed Balls will improvise to cover up missteps and Pisces Actor Danny Mac will exhibit how the Strictly journey can be a rich and rewarding process.

Your chance to find out more about Newark’s £60 million sewer plans than we’re used to and the original pipes are now too small to cope with it.”

Severn Trent’s plans are well underway for a multi-million pound investment in a major new scheme that will protect homes in Newark from sewer flooding and provide a reliable water supply for decades to come. However, before work begins, the company invited residents in the town to a drop-in session to hear more about the work.

The company, who also confirmed that it would be taking the opportunity to replace and upgrade water pipes at the same time, will be using specialist tunnelling machinery to replace some of the sewers. The tunnels, one being large enough to drive a transit van through, will reduce the number of roads that would otherwise have had to have been dug up to install the sewers. Nick explains: “By tunnelling underground we will reduce the impact our work has on local residents, businesses and traffic. We understand that a project of this size is likely to cause quite a bit of disruption for the people of Newark, but we want to assure everyone that we will be doing all we can to reduce the impact our work has on the local community.”

Nick Wallace from Severn Trent explains: “Earlier this year we announced that we would be spending £60 million to replace more than 12 miles of old pipes with new, larger ones, over the next four years in Newark.

“To explain the work in more detail we invited residents in the town to drop in sessions to hear more about the scheme and get their input. This is the largest investment we’ve made in a project to replace sewers in one area for many years and it’s important that we get it right for our customers, so we encouraged local residents to come along to hear about the work. The drop in sessions took place at Newark Town Hall on Tuesday 13 September and Wednesday 14 September 2016. The team explained our proposals in more detail, and answered any questions or concerns people had about the project.”

Nick added: “A key part of this work is to reduce the risk of sewer flooding, and we know that there are around 400 properties in Newark that are currently at risk. Sewer flooding

is one of the worst things that can happen to our customers and that’s why we’re making this investment to help prevent it. The sewer pipes in the town are just not big enough and, with the changing weather patterns, we’re seeing more rain

Councillor Jim Creamer, Committee Chairman for Environment and Sustainability, at Nottinghamshire County Council adds: "Nottinghamshire County Council welcomes the significant investment from Severn Trent to renew the water supply and sewers and to reduce flooding issues in Newark. The county council will continue to work in partnership with Severn Trent Water to assist with the successful delivery of the scheme."

Severn Trent will provide regular updates about their work on their dedicated website, http://www.stw.works/NewarkSTW

OCD Awareness Week 9th-15th October or thoughts patients are compelled to repeat as a result of the anxiety â&#x20AC;&#x201C; although often, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not realistically connected.

4. Temporary relief when the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;necessaryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; actions are completed.

Types of OCD â&#x20AC;˘ Checking: e.g. rechecking locked doors or checking that intrusive thoughts arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t real memories. â&#x20AC;˘ Contamination / Mental Contamination: a fear of germs or verbal abuse, which makes sufferers feel dirty/ unworthy. â&#x20AC;˘ Hoarding unnecessary and/ or excessive items. â&#x20AC;˘ Ruminations (prolonged, time-consuming thoughts on harmless topics) or Intrusive Thoughts (disturbing and repetitive in nature, e.g. imagining violence).

What Causes OCD? Genetics: OCD seems to run in some families; this may be a genetic link or â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;learned behaviourâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;.

Brain differences: In some sufferers, imaging shows increased activity and blood Ă RZ LQ EUDLQ DUHDV WKDW KDQGOH emotional response and a lack of serotonin (a neurotransmitter LQĂ XHQFLQJ PHPRU\ PRRG DQG sleep).

Trauma and Emotional Upset: Suffering neglect, abuse, isolation or trauma such as a break-up or bereavement seems to increase vulnerability to developing OCD. Personality: Certain personality traits, such as perfectionism, may increase the likelihood of developing OCD. While many people exhibit OCDtype symptoms when stressed, OCD is only clinically diagnosed

if symptoms: â&#x20AC;˘ Consume over an hour a day. Â&#x2021; &DXVH VLJQLĂ&#x20AC;FDQW GLVWUHVV â&#x20AC;˘ Interfere with ability to function in day-to-day life.

OCD symptoms may wax and wane, but if left untreated they usually become more severe.

Treating OCD Fortunately, OCD can usually be treated with professional help, although improvement may take several months.

CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy) encourages people to talk through their fears and EHKDYLRXUV DQG Ă&#x20AC;QG KHDOWKLHU ways of thinking. Behavioural exercises including ERP (exposure and response prevention) support patients to face fears one at a time and let obsessive thoughts run their course without â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;correctingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; them with compulsive behaviours.

Over time, this challenging treatment can help patients reduce symptoms or sometimes achieve complete recovery.

Some people may need medication alongside or before CBT to relieve their anxiety enough to undertake therapy.

Medication: SSRIs (selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors) increase serotonin levels. At higher doses theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re often highly effective in treating OCD, but need to be taken for 12 weeks EHIRUH EHQHĂ&#x20AC;WV DUH QRWLFHDEOH Patients with moderate or severe OCD may need long-term medication.

While people may joke about being â&#x20AC;&#x153;a bit OCD,â&#x20AC;? this trivialises a serious and potentially debilitating condition. OCD Awareness Week aims to correct the misconception that Obsessive Compulsive Disorder merely concerns harmless habits or quirks.

What Is OCD? 12 in every 1,000 people suffer from OCD, experiencing a range of compulsions, obsessional thoughts and repetitive behaviours that seriously affect their day-to-day life. On average itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s undiagnosed for 10-15 years, yet 50% of cases are severe, meaning symptoms occupy more than three hours a day.

Sufferers typically develop OCD in their late adolescence or twenties, but it affects people of all ages, genders and backgrounds. They may recognise their condition, yet Ă&#x20AC;QG LW KDUG WR EHOLHYH WKHLU compulsions wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t relieve their anxiety or prevent harm.

OCDâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s four step cycle: 1. Obsession: intrusive, repetitive thoughts, images or impulses.

2. Anxiety: caused by the obsession. Paranoia or a feeling of over-responsibility may develop and sufferers may believe they or their loved ones are in danger from something harmless - or that their actions can prevent or cause unrelated harm.

3. Compulsion: behaviours 38 Use Locally â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Partners with Newark & Sherwood District Council

Halloween Story

by Tom Hughes Follow Tom on Twitter @groomsdaybook

After blasting out Monster Mash for the third time in a row, I pulled the Mondeo Ghia onto the path, shut the door, pointed the key over my head to plip the lock and then - blast! I remembered what I had forgotten to purchase - a pumpkin!

Maze?â&#x20AC;?

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Oh, donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t bother about that Tom - now wrap up warm, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re taking Hannah and her friend Laura to ScaryFarm for Halloween. Come on, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be fun.â&#x20AC;?

The ruddy-faced farmerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s son with the carrot top glared at the two sophisticated young ladies by my side. â&#x20AC;&#x153;How old are they?â&#x20AC;?

Tools Of The Trade

You can then use the head of the rake to help level off the soil.

If you plan to grow vegetables, then a small hoe known as an onion hoe is an invaluable tool and allows you to weed quickly and easily, even between fairly closely spaced crops.

You can also use it to weed in amongst ornamental plants of course. For really tight spaces and weeding between paving, and in gravel in asparagus beds etc, I’m addicted to my SpeedWeeder, a small redhandled tool l which is the best I have used for hoiking out dandelion roots in one piece too!

Most hoes have a 1.5 metre (5 foot) or longer shaft which is comfortable for most gardeners to use. However, if you are very tall, then longer ones may be available from some manufacturers. My favourite is the SpeedHoe, UK designed and with an unusual almost heartshaped head with a blade running around all edges and a pronged rear, making it the easiest and most effective hoe I’ve ever used.

Motoring

By James Baggott

Renault Clio dCi 110 Dynamique S Nav

Renaultâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Clio has previously been seen as the teenager that refused to grow up. However, with the model celebrating its 25th birthday this year and the French carmaker introducing a host of new styling and design cues, could this be the most mature Clio yet?

We head to Bordeaux to test out the Clio dCi 110 Dynamique S 1DY DQG Ă&#x20AC;QG RXW

Renault has poured a lot of resources into the styling of the new Clio, which will lead the way for the rest of its range to

While the cabin may appear disarmingly similar to prefacelift Clios, a closer look reveals that quality has LPSURYHG VLJQLĂ&#x20AC;FDQWO\ ZLWK QHZ upholstery, matt chrome trim and soft-touch materials â&#x20AC;&#x201C; no more scratchy plastics to be found here.

With the option of 30 different FRORXU FRPELQDWLRQV Ă&#x20AC;YH roof decals, and four exterior customisation packs, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s little wonder that the model has been dubbed â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;the most stylish Clio yetâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;.

Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s under the bonnet?

The pokey dCi 110 diesel powerplant is linked to a sixspeed manual gearbox, which puts 108bhp through its front wheels. Reaching 60mph from a standstill takes 11.19 seconds,

while the model tops out at 121mph.

The diesel engine produces the typical grunting noise, which is particularly noticeable when the car is at idle or moving slowly, but fades to an indistinct hum at 3,000 revs. The dCi 110 returns an impressive 80.7mpg, while emitting just 90g/km CO2.

Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the spec like?

Spec on the ÂŁ17,755 dCi 110 Dynamique S Nav is extensive, with an updated sound and infotainment system with Bose speakers and the new R-link connectivity system featuring as standard.

However, the new diesel engine is only available in this top-level trim, meaning that drivers looking to spend less are left with the option of one of the preexisting powertrains.

The basic spec Clio starts from ÂŁ10,495, meaning the range includes both affordable and high-end (for the B-segment) options.

What is it?

This is Renaultâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s facelifted fourth-generation Clio. Originally launched back in 2012, the model has been upgraded both aesthetically and mechanically.

The latter comes in the form of a new diesel powertrain â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the 1.5-litre dCi 110 diesel, previously seen in Nissanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Qashqai â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and the option of a manual transmission coupled with the pre-existing TCe 120 petrol engine.

What’s it like to drive?

The Clio has been lengthened and widened, which alongside a sportier appearance and increased cabin space, delivers better handling. New polyurethane suspension bump stops and a quicker steering rack give the car improved agility and body control, but not enough to make the drive markedly different to its predecessor.

The 108bhp engine is powerful enough to allow the small car to dart around, and a spread of

torque across the revs means it can accelerate with ease in any gear.

the segment.

The stop/start feature, which comes as standard on a number of the Clio grades, is easy to get along with and doesn’t cut out at unfortunate moments - as it does in some of the Clio’s Bsegment competitors.

A driver-activated Ecomode, which is standard on the Dynamique Nav model and above, can reportedly improve fuel economy by up to 12%.

Verdict Renault claims to have developed the B-segment hatch into something much more versatile and mature than its predecessor. However, with the new diesel powertrain only available in the top-spec model, we can’t help but feel that the carmaker is shoehorning itself into the more upmarket end of

This facelift does well to refresh the product and keep it relevant amongst constantly improving competitors.

But with 13 million units sold worldwide since it was launched in 1991, and 12,589 sold in the UK alone between January and June this year, we very much doubt the Clio will be going out of fashion any time soon.

Any rivals?

Unfortunately for the Clio, the Bsegment isn’t a sparse market.

It is packed with affordable rival superminis including the DS3, Citroen C4 Cactus and Ford’s Fiesta. Drivers wanting a more premium experience can opt for the Audi A1, and try as it might, Renault’s updated model proves no match for this German hatch.
