Welcome to our December issue Stephen Ault EDITOR Wow! Hasn’t this year flown by! I cannot believe that the year end is in sight and here I am welcoming you the December edition of the Whitby Advertiser, the number one choice for advertising in Whitby and the surrounding district. Just where did this year go, eh? hope that you enjoy this Christmas edition of our magazine, whether you are a local resident, business owner, or a visitor or holidaymaker to our lovely town. As I write this, the town is about to enjoy its annual Christmas Festival organised by Whitby Town Council which I am sure will be the usual excellent weekend of festive fun and activities. It runs from Friday 26th to Sunday 28th November, and includes the Christmas light switch-on by local celebrity Alistair Griffin, live music, a traditional Christmas market and a spectacular animal-friendly fireworks display on the Saturday evening. There are lots more festive events taking place during the Whitby Winter Festival which runs through to March 2022, including a full size undercover real ice rink to Sunday 2 January open 10am - 8pm daily (except Christmas Day). Tickets can be booked online with a 20% discount for local residents! Our December issue has everything you need for this special time of the year – ideas for Christmas gifts, Christmas menus for local pubs and restaurants as well as tradesmen who can help out with those frustrating problems that have a habit of occurring just when you don’t want them to - car and boiler breakdowns, burst pipes, blocked drains & other emergencies. There is also our ever-popular prize crossword, the prize for which is a fabulous £25 gift card donated by the equally fabulous Chris Blenkey and his hardworking team at the new look Co-op right in the centre of town, a store full of bargains and festive treats at this time of year! So, what are you waiting for - put your feet up, pour a glass (or two - but no more or you could end up making a muddle of things!) of mulled wine or some other pre-Christmas tipple, have a go at the crossword and enjoy our magazine! Did you know that our print run stands at 24,000 copies and we deliver far and wide – as well as the whole of Whitby and villages reaching far up into the Esk Valley, our door-to-door distribution includes Guisborough, and coastline villages northwards up to and including Skelton and Saltburn, and southwards down to Cloughton on the outskirts of Scarborough. This is complemented by our stand at the Co-op supermarket in Whitby which is always popular with visitors who pick up a copy there. Before I sign off, I would like to thank all our advertisers, readers, and everyone involved in the production, distribution and delivery of the Whitby Advertiser for your great support over the past year and for making the Whitby Advertiser the success it is today. I wish each and every one of you a very Merry Christmas indeed!

TRAILBLAZER NHS NORTH YORKSHIRE PLAYS IMPORTANT LIFE SAVING ROLE Hundreds of thousands of people across the UK will now be able to test their blood pressure at home, thanks to the national rollout of a life-saving scheme which has been piloted in North Yorkshire. As part of NHS North Yorkshire Clinical Commissioning Group’s (CCG’s) BP@Home programme, GP practices have been loaning monitors to patients with high blood pressure and those at greatest risk of developing high blood pressure (hypertension). The devices allow patients to check their blood pressure from their own homes and report the results back to their practice, giving GPs the ability to intervene when they spot the early warning signs of heart attack or stroke. Following the success of the pilot scheme in North Yorkshire and in other NHS ‘trailblazer’ sites, the NHS says blood pressure monitors will now be made available to 220,000 people who have been diagnosed with uncontrolled More than 65,000 blood pressure monitors have high blood ressure and who could benefit from already been delivered to patients across England regular checks. and are similar to those used in GP practices. NHS North Yorkshire CCG Governing Body Member, Dr Bruce Willoughby, said: “Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the biggest cause of preventable early mortality and health inequalities in our communities.
Patients wrap the small machine around their upper arm to measure their blood pressure reading and send the reading to their GP to review by telephone, email or through a digital remote monitoring platform.
“The monitors that have been loaned out allow patients to quickly and easily update their practice teams with information about their blood pressure health in almost real-time, which has then allowed healthcare professionals to take any appropriate action.
The rollout supports the NHS Long Term Plan ambitions to prevent up to 150,000 heart attacks, strokes, and dementia cases over the next 10 years.
“Controlling blood pressure is one of the best ways to improve CVD outcomes and I am in no doubt that these simple checks have not just reduced emergency admissions to our local hospitals but have saved lives.
All adults over 40 are advised to have their blood pressure checked at least once every five years. If you do not have your own home monitor, you can get your blood pressure checked at your local pharmacy or during an NHS Health Check appointment offered to adults in England aged 40-74, at home or at your local GP surgery.
“I’m delighted the work we’ve already undertaken More information about the blood pressure test in North Yorkshire has helped pave the way for a and home blood pressure monitoring can be national rollout of this programme.” found on the NHS website 8

YORKSHIRE LOFT LADDERS, QUALITY YOU CAN TRUST!
These days most homeowners suffer from a lack of storage space. So many precious items that need to be kept – but where to store it all? That’s where Yorkshire Loft Ladders come in. The company, based locally, offers homeowners the opportunity to maximise their storage space with a loft ladder, 50 sq ft of boarding and a light all fully fitted in less than a day from just £277 + VAT. But it’s not just the affordability of the package the company offers that makes Yorkshire Loft Ladders stand out as manager Mark Hodson explains:
‘Our watchwords are Quality, Integrity and Value. Quality in the materials that we use for all our installations and the fact that all our loft packages are fitted by time served tradesmen so our customers are assured of the best job. Integrity in that we will turn up at the time we say and make sure the house is spotless when we leave, and Value in that we offer our services at a price people can afford.
Our business relies on referrals and we got a huge amount of our calls from people who have been referred to us by our existing customers - that simply wouldn’t happen if we didn’t adhere to our overriding principles.
At the end of the day the old adage that happy customers lead to more happy customers is true and we work hard to make that happen for every installation we carry out!’
So, if you want to make use of your loft space, however big or small, call Mark on 0800 612 8359 and he’ll be happy to pop round and give you a no obligation quote so you too can make use of your loft!

VETERINARY ADVICE
BE AWARE OF FESTIVE DANGERS FOR YOUR FURRY FRIEND! by Meg Dale
Winter and the festive season both presents a world of hidden dangers to our four-legged friends, from poisionous plants to battery powered problems. Many owners are blissfully unaware of just how many of our festive favourites spell out trouble on many levels for our beloved pets. Here are a few hidden festive dangers: Sub zero temperatures and candle light walks. Most of us will struggle to walk you dog in day light hours at the moment so the use of illuminated collars, reflective leads and fluorescent jackets is vital to making sure both traffic and pedestrians can see both you and your dog. Also, take note of the temperature and how many extra layers you put on, then take a moment to consider your dog. Geriatric, pediatric, and fine coated dogs are more susceptible to losing heat and suffering from hypotherima, so a dog jacket may be a great Christmas present (a fluorescent one will serve two purposes). Should you get separated from your friend, they will be more visible to all and have more chance of maintaining a reasonable body temperature too. Now for festive foods....top of the list...Chocolate! The chemical theobromine, is found in chocolate is very toxic to dogs. Even small amounts can cause agitation, hyperexcitability, tremors, convulsions and problems with the heart. The darker the chocolate, the more higher the levels of theobromine become( cooking chocolate is the most dangerous) Avoid putting any chocolate on or under the Christmas tree. One of the most overlooked....Grapes Grapes and their dried products (currants, sultanas and raisins) are toxic to dogs. Ingestion of even a small quantity can cause severe kidney failure. Beware! Bones Once cooked all bones become brittle and splinter easily. This can lead to fragments potentially getting ‘stuck’, causing gut irritation and perforation or even just difficulty toileting . Take all bones and carcasses straight outside into a sealed bin to avoid any problems. Onions (and garlic, leeks, shallots and chives) These can cause toxicity, whether uncooked or cooked. Initially there can be vomiting and diarrhoea but the main effect is damage to red blood cells, resulting in anaemia. Do not give your pet any left overs! Decorations Whilst not often toxic they can still cause significant problems if ingested. Baubles will tend to splinter or smash into shards which can cause irritation, perforation 74
or blockages and dogs and cats tend to enjoy playing with and eating tinsel. This can bunch up and cause blockages. Your dog or cat may also get a nasty shock if they chew through the electrical cable for your Christmas lights - and don’t forget the fire hazard. Christmas trees, holly, mistletoe and poinsettia These are all mildly toxic if ingested and can cause vomiting, drooling, diarrhoea to name a few. Pine needles can get stuck in paws and cause irritation as well as potentially causing irritation or perforation of the intestines if eaten. Vacuum daily and keep plenty of water in the bucket to help reduce the number that fall. Batteries If a battery is chewed and pierced it can cause chemical burns and metal poisoning. If swallowed whole it is possible they will cause an obstruction. All batteries are potentially toxic so if you suspect your dog has chewed or swallowed a battery speak to your vet. Presents Be sure to keep any presents that may contain chocolate/alcohol/batteries out of reach (have a shake of that mystery gift!). A lot of families buy their furry little friends their own presents to open with the family on Christmas day. This is great, but remember your pet doesn’t know how to differentiate between human and animal presents when you are not there to help out!
