Your Local Link began when I was nine years old. I didn’t live in the catchment area, but my grandma did and it was always on the kitchen table alongside paperwork, reading glasses and, if we were lucky, a plate of biscuits. I’d plonk myself down, pick up the magazine and hastily turn to the health and beauty pages. Little did I know that I would end up working there one day... It’s come a long way since then and, ninety-one issues later, I’m proud to see Your Local Link through its 200th issue. But without our readers, advertisers and staff, we simply wouldn’t be here today. So the biggest thank you goes to you: the local independent businesses who promote yourselves with us and the local community who use those services and keep us in check when we mess up the sudoku.

You’ve all shown up time and again, through pandemics, recessions, jubilees and so much more than I could possibly write down in this little slot. 200 issues is a big deal and to celebrate in style we’ve got a bumper page of prizes to be won from some fantastic York businesses, turn to page 18 to enter now. Here’s to the next 200,

HERE ARE SOME FA M O U S FAC E S YO U S HA R E YO U R S I G N WITH… L-R: Idris Elba, British actor, writer & DJ; Beyoncé, American singer, actress, model, designer and businesswoman; ‘Pidge’ Local Link Distribution Assistant; Bernie Sanders, American politician.

You will be fuming with frustration at some of the restrictions which are being imposed upon you, but go with the flow and stop trying to push a snowball uphill. If some plans have to be delayed until 2021, then delay them, and

use this time to take a long term view of your future and consider all of the options. There should be a healthy buzz of activity in all the social aspects of your life, so make a point of enjoying what is going on here. There could be a romantic hiccup around the 3rd or 4th

but this should be sorted, done and dusted by the 8th or 9th. Nevertheless, this “incident” may open the doors to a few negative memories, and you should stamp down on these as hard as you can. Your present is not a reflection of your history, but the first step of your future.

Children and younger people have a benign role to play in your life right now, and one youngster, in particular, will present you with a lovely surprise… a broad guess would suggest anywhere between the 10th and the 20th.

CAPRICORN

23RD SEPT - 22ND OCT

Some inevitable changes on the work scene, which I suspect will be to your benefit – although you might not see them in this light at the time. But quite honestly, it is all the personal aspects of your life which will be seen as being more important, and September is a lovely month for cementing relationships and finding firmer foundations.

OCT - 21ST NOV

Parents and/or peripheral family members make demands on your time and attention. It will be hard to ignore them, but you must not forget your own priorities, and if workable compromises cannot be found, then you must be strong and put your own needs first. Other people must learn that you are The You that you are and not The You that they want you to be.

NOV DEC

You might not see it, but you are holding a lot of power and influence in your hands right now, and whether you like it or not, you’re the one who is calling the shots. On a lighter note, relationships with children are quite harmonious, and there should be at least one important family reunion before the end of the month.

Quite a tense time in relationships, almost certainly caused by outside influences rather than any emotional problems. Moods will vary, almost on a day to day basis, and please be aware of the fact that your moods will affect those of other people around you. A very tight grip on finances is extremely important at this time, so no great luxuries or spending sprees.

22ND DEC - 19TH JAN

JAN - 18TH FEB

This should be a rewarding month where money is concerned, and anything owed to you should find its way back into your bank account. It is also a period of high optimism when you view your own future business/ career prospects, and any worries or concerns you may have had during the summer now begin to evaporate.

PISCES 19

FEB - 20TH MAR

The concept of buying and selling is high on the cards at this time, and also this could be a period in which there is a boost to your social life, and increasingly you come into contact with new people and new faces, who ultimately may become new friends. One member of the opposite sex will be showing a great interest in you, (the 8th, 9th, and 10th), which would open some romantic doorways for you.

ARIES 21

MAR - 19TH APR

A rather flat mood prevails throughout the month, and although you could be doing this, that, or the other, there’s a voice whispering in your ear saying “why should I?” You could help yourself by setting a few new targets and becoming a bit more active: there is no problem with physical energy, but your mental energy levels are low and need a boost.

claustrophobic and cornered. Even if there is some financial improvement, budgets are still under a lot of pressure, and although you know this well enough, partners and spouses still need to be convinced – so make yourself unpopular and keep reminding them.

GEMINI 21

YORK LIFE

AQUARIUS20

MAY - 20TH JUN

You will begin to feel some improvement in moods which have been prevalent throughout the summer and there is a perceptible lightening of your emotional load. Partners try hard to please, and there should be some improvement in relationships with children and the broader family. Do not be tempted to go back on old decisions in which you have made your point.

CANCER 21

JUN - 22ND JUL

A quietly satisfying month as plans and agendas fall into place. This might not happen as quickly as you might like, but it is happening, so be patient and bide your time. Some notable improvements in relationships with children, but I suspect it is only because they want or need something, and you are their first port of call.

WANDERER WALKING WITH THE

HOVINGHAM AND SCACKLETON

This walk in the Howardian Hills explores the undulating countryside to the south and west of Hovingham. The walk, which goes through farmland, woodland and parkland, includes several climbs, especially on the quiet road between Coulton and Scackleton. There’s also a very short stretch alongside a fast road at Point 6 in the directions where care should be taken. Apart from this, the route is straightforward and well signed, except after Point 3 in the directions where paths are indistinct and can be overgrown.

Directions

1 Starting outside The Park café and hair salon on Park Street go across the green opposite and head down the pavement of Main Street passing the Hovingham Inn and Stores. At Hovingham Bakery off the main road to the left take the adjacent footbridge and go left down Brook Street. In 100 metres go right on a tarmacked bridleway. In about 100 metres, where the bridleway turns left, go over a stile on the left just before the bend. Follow the path along the edge of the field, then cross a stile and track to continue with trees to the left. At the end of the trees, go over the footbridge and continue ahead (not left) along a line of trees between fields. At the kissing gate, turn left before passing through a farm gate. 2 With an ornate bridge visible ahead turn right and head through the grass pasture between the trees and the stream. Eventually, a stile will appear next to a white gate. Go over the stile, cross the road and take the signed footpath opposite through a gate into woods. At the end of the trees go through a kissing gate and continue with a fence and stream to the left. Keep with the stream on the edge of several fields to arrive at a kissing gate and track.

3 Take the track left but after 15 metres head right through a kissing gate into a field heading slightly left but keeping below house and garden. After a gate follow the path through an overgrown area with a pond to the right. Go through a metal gate into a field and follow the path through tall grass keeping near a fence on the right. At narrow end of the field go through a gate and over bridge to head up a slope towards a gate in the fence line ahead. Pass through the gate and head uphill aiming for a telegraph pole. Before the pole, at a right angle in the hedge, go over a stile and continue with hedge on the left. Where the hedge ends keep ahead on the track between crops. At grass field follow the track right but soon veer diagonally left across the grass to the left corner and exit onto the road at edge of Coulton by a kissing gate. 4 Turn left on the road. This is followed for nearly a mile, at first steeply downhill passing Coulton Mill at the bottom and then steeply uphill to the edge of Scackleton. 5 Just after the Scackleton sign, take a sharp left down a tarmac lane. Continue on this No Through Route, going downhill and passing Newstead

Time:

3 1/2 Hours

The recommended starting point is Park Street in Hovingham where there’s usually plenty of roadside parking. It’s also possible to start in Scackleton but roadside parking is limited. Hovingham is 18 miles north of York approached via Strensall and Sheriff Hutton. Public transport to Hovingham is difficult. The only feasible route is to travel to Malton by bus or train and then take bus 194 which runs five times a day to the village (no Sunday service).

Refreshments Both The Worsley Arms Hotel and Hovingham Inn (open Thu.-Sun.) have lunch menus. The Hovingham Bakery & Rolling Pin Café is open Wed. to Sun. On Park Street, The Park at Hovingham hair salon doubles as a café and is open Tues-Sat.

What to see This walk takes you through a wide array of countryside with plenty of woodland and attractive streamside sections. Good views can be had at several points over the Vale of Pickering and towards the North York Moors. Hovingham is an attractive stone-built estate village. The standout feature is the Palladian style Hovingham Hall with its unusual stable block entrance from the village. Further views of the house, normally open for a limited period in June, can be obtained from the path through the parkland. You’ll see Coulton Mill on a quiet roadside section, it’s part of a restoration project and developing cider making enterprise.

Farm, until the tarmac turns sharp left. Head straight down the bridleway signed Potticar Bank. At the corner of the field take the obvious grassy path uphill with a fence to the right. You’ll then reach a road.

6 Turn right on the road and go along it for 150 metres to take the signed public bridleway on the left. You’ll pass a

7 Arriving at a gate: don’t go through it but take the path before on the left, signed Hovingham. Follow this between a field and a stream. Continue into the woods with a field on the left. At a gate follow the sign and go right over a ditch towards a gate to the left of a large oak tree.

8 Go through the gate into the wood heading uphill. At a junction go right on a track as indicated by a blue arrow on a low post. At a cross-track, continue ahead uphill. Ignore a path coming in from the left and in 20 metres keep ahead at crossing track. Soon leave the wood on a clear track heading across fields. Follow this with the roofs of Hovingham eventually coming into view to the road. Turn right then cross the road to take a tarmac footpath alongside the small green to join the main road as it turns sharp right. Continue on the main road, ‘High Street’, for a short distance to Park Street on the left.

DISCLAIMER: Walks are undertaken at your own risk Due care must be taken in following the walk, particularly after poor weather. Whilst every care is taken in compiling the description changes may have occurred since publication. Neither the walk author nor LocalLink can accept any responsibility for errors or omissions.

PRESTIGE NURSING LAUNCHES CARE COMMUNITY SUPPORT FUND

The Great British September Clean Help keep York spic and span by taking part in the Great British September Clean. Doesn’t *quite* roll off the tongue, we know, but the spring clean got postponed due to COVID. Organised by Keep Britain Tidy the clean up runs from 1127 September and people are being encouraged to organise their own private cleanups in small bubbles. More than 680,000 volunteers have pledged to give up their time to tidy

up their local areas through litter picking. You can make your pledge too at keepbritaintidy.org, follow the event online by searching the hashtag #LitterHero.

K E E P S H O P P I N G LO C A L ! City leaders have thanked York residents for supporting local businesses by shopping local after the pandemic. The city’s independents have worked hard to create a safe and welcoming experience for customers and it has been well-received. Keith Aspden, Council leader, commented: “It’s been inspiring to see the resilience and compassion with which our communities have responded to the crisis. Our local

business community have worked hard to reopen safely, so it’s great to see so many people supporting the creative, independent businesses which make our city so unique. “By shopping locally not only do we support our small and independent businesses and the staff and suppliers who rely on them, but also directly invest in our local communities at this challenging time.

If you are part of a charity, community or volunteer group in York that benefits people aged 65 and over or people living with disabilities you could qualify to receive £250 from Prestige Nursing. Prestige Nursing supports people to live safely, happily and as independently as possible in the comfort of their home but now the care provider is going one step further by donating money to community groups in York, too. Prestige Nursing said: "We understand that local charities, community and volunteer groups; who also help our communities to thrive, have been impacted by recent events. We have therefore decided to create our own Community Support Fund to provide these groups with some much needed support so that they can continue to carry out the wonderful services they too provide. We will be awarding

£250 periodically throughout the year to applicable organisations/groups within the local area of York." Application Criteria • The organisation (or its beneficiaries) must be based in the local area of York • The community fund must be used to benefit people aged 65 and over or people with mental illness, physical or learning disabilities or a life altering condition. Application Process Applications will be available from 1st September 2020, closing date 30th September. For full details of the application process, please visit Prestige Nursing + care website, and view our News section www.prestige-nursing. co.uk/press-releases/prestigecommunity-support-fund

Have your say Healthwatch York is looking to hear from York’s BAME residents. They want to know: Does the colour of your skin or ethnicity affect how you are treated when you use local health and social services?

They’re composing a report that will be shared with local health and social care decision makers and the people who run those services. Have your say at healthwatchyork.co.uk/listeningto-bame-residents-of-york-2020/.

York’s indies

The streets of York are held together by a diverse blend of independent shops, cafés and restaurants. When you head into the city centre to pick up an artisan handmade soap, a freshly baked brownie, or a lovingly sourced accessory: you can be sure that what you’re buying has been made or sold by a local business person who will contribute to York’s economy, tourism industry and its

continued success. Coronavirus might have changed the way some of our local businesses operate, but they’ve proved that they’re determined, flexible and fast-thinking in times of need. If you can’t make it into the city centre, why not head over one of these fabulous indie’s websites and see what you can purchase online? A little online retail never hurt anybody, especially when it’s in support of our beloved locals.

ASK THE EXPERT...

Do you know what your assets are worth? Some people come to us having a rough idea of what they have got; others have no clue at all.

Quality insurance without the hullabaloo

A new insurance company has launched in York aiming to provide quality insurance at competitive prices. coverbaloo provides comprehensive home insurance with a variety of add-on covers, as well as standalone home emergency cover that aims to take the stress out of dealing with urgent problems in your home. With offices in Clifton Moor, coverbaloo serves customers across the UK primarily through its website, but the experienced York team are also available by phone to answer any queries. It’s also proud to be using local tradespeople for claims on its home emergency cover, which ensures that customers get the help they need as quickly as possible.

Proposition Director, Adam Thompson, says of the launch, “It’s a challenging time to be launching a new business, but our message is still as relevant as ever – having quality insurance for your home is important. More and more customers are being penalised for their loyalty to larger insurers and being stung with hidden fees when they look for flexibility. We think it can be different, which is why we always treat existing customers the same as new and don’t charge any fees to pay monthly, make changes, or cancel.”

And when it comes to calculating whether your estate may be liable for Inheritance Tax (IHT), it is important to know what is counted and how much you’ve got.

There are so many different factors that may determine whether or not you are likely to have an Inheritance Tax problem or not. Some things that can affect it are: -The value of your main residence -Cash savings (such as in a building society), -Investments such as shares or bonds -Other properties -Extra things such as your car, jewellery, antiques etc. There are a few different allowances that some people can use, but it is very complex, and should ideally be sorted out by a financial planner to ensure that you keep as much money with your family, not the Tax Man. If your assets are worth more than £325,000, anything above this threshold will be taxed at 40%. Yes, you heard it right- nearly half! It really is legalised robbery. Have a look at our flow chart below to see if you are likely to have an IHT problem. If you would like more information on Inheritance Tax, request our guide free of charge by filling out the form. If you would like to speak to a professional about making sure your money stays in the family when you are no longer here, call our office for a FREE initial telephone meeting on 01904 661140.

WHAT LOCKDOWN LOOKED LIKE FOR HERBERT TODD’S

Making the most of the stamp duty holiday

Local Expert, Matt Todd of Herbert Todd & Son gets us up to speed.

Your Local Link’s resident bathroom expert, Mel Collier from Karemel Bespoke Bathrooms, gives us some insider info. It would seem that over the last few months in lockdown we’ve had very little to be happy about – lockdown haircuts, lockdown weight gain… but as the country returns slowly to the ‘new normal’ a few things have been put into place to help us out, especially if you are thinking of moving house. At Karemel, we’ve recently had a lot of enquiries from people who want to sell their home and buy a new one because they want to make the most of the stamp duty holiday, but their estate agent has told them that the bathroom is letting their property down. It may be the smallest room in the house, but if a prospective buyer walks in and thinks it needs work, they can automatically expect nearly a £10,000 reduction on the asking price! To avoid this, I would say it is

Welcome back, everyone! It’s been nearly six months since I last wrote to you all and I hope that you are in good health and looking forward to getting back to something like normal. I thought I would give you a little insight this month into how the lockdown looked for Herbert Todd’s and what challenges you might face if you need an appliance in the short term. Once the effects of the pandemic became apparent in early March I held what I called at the time a 'disaster avoidance meeting,' first with the partners and then with the whole of my retail staff. We made plans to mitigate the effects of a severe downturn in demand and everyone was on board. That soon went out of the window as the Boris and Rishi Show was thrust upon us and they unveiled their raft of measures to see us through the worst of it. With all three showrooms forced to close and most of our work colleagues furloughed I relied on the help of Heather, Chris, Pete and my brother, David, to run a business normally manned by nearly thirty people. The phones never stopped ringing for the three months of lockdown and we sold around half the amount of products compared to a normal quarter. David and I PPEd up and installed washing machines, dishwashers, fridges and freezers for those that couldn't manage it themselves as we wanted to make sure we did not leave our customers out in the cold. This also had the positive by-product of slimming us both down at a time when the gym was shut! On the flip side, we hardly sold any range cookers, large fridge freezers or full kitchen packages during lockdown. You guys clearly want to get in front of these products and get properly acquainted with

LOCAL EXPERT MATT TODD

them before you make a decision. On top of that, our electricians were all furloughed because it was clear that you did not want us working in your houses during that time - which is very sensible. Fortunately, both these facets of the business have bounced back fully with the unwinding of the lockdown and we are seeing very strong demand for new range cookers and built-in ovens as well as our new kitchen design service headed up by Melanie. I think it’s fair to say that during our forced time at home there are a few of us that have looked hard at our current kitchen arrangements and found them wanting, sadly that includes Mrs Todd! So, apart from the COVID safety measures we have in place, things are largely back to normal. What we are seeing though are stock shortages across the board. During the pandemic, nearly all factories across the globe had to shut for some time and even now may be operating at reduced capacity due to distancing issues. This is presenting a huge challenge to us to meet the demands you rightly put on us when you need an appliance but please bear this in mind when you visit us or our website because your first choice may not always be immediately available. This situation will undoubtedly improve as the year rolls on (COVID depending). Thank you for reading, we hope to see some of you instore soon and above all stay safe.

well worth thinking of having a makeover before you put the house on the market. Keep the colours and lines simple and make sure the bathroom lends itself to the house. For example, if you live in a family home, include a bath to make it easy to bathe children, if it’s a one bedroom flat, a walk-in shower enclosure works well. Most importantly, make sure the work is done by a professional as a poor DIY job could end up in you losing money rather than making it! Here at Karemel Bespoke Bathrooms Ltd, we can tailor the bathroom to suit you and your budget, and as the saying goes, you need to speculate to accumulate!

A Yorkshire Pear Not many varieties of pear originate in Yorkshire. Some of the choicer varieties, for example, the ubiquitous Conference, come from southern counties. Many others, including the delectable Doyenné du Comice, come from France. A surprising number have their origins in Belgium, a country better known for beer, chips, waffles and chocolate than its fruit. One of the few pears with Yorkshire roots is the variety Hessle. Sometimes also referred to as the ‘hazel’ pear, it is said to have originated in the small town of the same name just east of Hull. Although almost certainly more ancient, the variety was first officially recorded in 1827 when exhibited at a London fruit show. In the nineteenth century, it was popular throughout the

country, especially in northern England and southern Scotland. Today Hessle trees can still be found in old orchards in Yorkshire. Although no longer grown commercially young trees for home growing can be bought from several specialist fruit tree nurseries. I purchased one many years back and have it growing as an espalier (a tree trained with horizontal branches). Hessle has its virtues. It’s got Yorkshire grit and will thrive in wet or cold soils where other, softer, pears will sulk. Robust but not an overly vigorous grower, it makes a compact tree that’s easy to prune and pick. Most of all it’s a reliable cropper. Unlike some varieties that are prone to spring frosts or fruit abundantly one year but need to ‘rest’ the next, it always produces a worthwhile crop. It also has the advantage of ripening comparatively early in the season. Don’t believe the websites and nursery catalogues that claim it isn’t ready for eating until October. In my experience, the fruit usually starts to ripen in the first weeks of September. Judging exactly when Hessle is ripe can be tricky. It’s one of those pears that go from ripeness to mush in a blink of an eye. Leave it too long and the fruits will be soft and brown at the core. But this isn’t Hessle’s only shortcoming.

EXPERT

Tony Chalcraft The fruit is disappointingly small. A few bites and it’s gone. The skin, a drab greenish-yellow freckled with spots, also has a chewy texture. All this would be forgivable if compensated for by flavour. Unfortunately, for me at least, this is lacking. The fruit is juicy, perhaps overly so, and has a sharp tang, especially if eaten a little under-ripe. But there is little in the way of subtleness of flavour and certainly, none of that special pear taste offered by other varieties ready at the same time, like Williams’ Bon Chrétien. For much of the time, Hessle was more widely cultivated large quantities of its fruit went to jam factories. Presumably, it’s a variety good for jam; I have to confess that this has never been tried. It’s certainly usable in the kitchen for other culinary purposes but its small size does make preparation time-consuming. It’s important that varieties such as Hessle, for reasons of genetic diversity and local heritage are preserved. Despite its flavour flaws, this is a pear from Yorkshire’s past that worth keeping alive. I’m prepared to play my part by having a Hessle tree, but one is enough.

Got a gardening question?

Ask CHRIS BROWN from BROWN NURSERIES

If you have a question for Chris, please email info@yourlocallink.co.uk or call Chris on 766266. Q. We have a garden that has a large shaded border, could you recommend some shrubs that will tolerate the shade, please? A. There’s a surprising range of shrubs suitable for growing in the shade. Many are woodland plants from the wild that prefer to grow away from direct sun rays. This does not mean they can survive without any light. All green-leaved plants need light to photosynthesize, some, however, are more tolerant of lower light levels than others, and it is these that are most successful when planted in the shade of trees and buildings. Cornus Canadensis ‘Creeping Dogwood’ In late spring and early summer the starry white-bracted flowerheads of this carpeting perennial are borne above ruffs of oval leaves, red berries follow. Aucuba Japonica ‘Crotonifolia’ The jade green shoots of this spectacular bushy shrub develop into shiny green leaves blotched with yellow, this laurel is a most reliable evergreen.

Euonymus ‘Emerald and Gold’ A low growing shrub that is evergreen crowned with feathery gold margined leaves that look bright gold from afar. This plant is ideal as ground cover or as a specimen shrub. Hydrangea Serrata ‘Bluebird’ This bushy shrub will be covered in violet lace-cap flowers in the summertime to late autumn, this plant dislikes dry soils. Skimmia Confusa ‘Kew Green’ This deep green aromatic leaver is topped in spring by dense conical heads of fragrant creamy flowers: an excellent and adaptable evergreen shrub. Sarcococca This suckering evergreen shrub forms dense clumps of upright shoots in time, clusters of tiny sweetly scented white flowers are carried in the axils of its narrow leaves in mid-winter, hence the name Christmas Box. One of my favourite plants.

BROWN NURSERIES

Q. I have a Rhododendron and Photina Red Robin in my garden, their leaves have been eaten around the edges but I haven’t seen a pest. Could you help, please? A. The pest is likely Vine Weevil, the biology of this particular beetle is unusual. Most beetles reproduce sexually but most Vine Weevils are females and they must reproduce parthenogenetically. Each female lays hundreds of eggs over several months during summer. The eggs are usually laid close to suitable host plants and the larvae, which hatch after about two weeks, feed for three months or more before pupating in small earthen cells in the soil. Adults, which are 7-10mm long, emerge in the autumn or spring the following year. There is only one generation a year but because of the staggered emergence of adults, there is some overlapping late winter and early spring when eggs larvae, pupae and adults may be present at the same time, especially in

Chris Brown

greenhouses. Vine Weevils prefer Clematis, Cyclamen, Primulas, Fuchsias, Begonias, Heucheras, Tiarellas and Saxifrage plants to lay their eggs. They hide at soil level during daylight in leaf litter, loose brickwork and loose woodwork before crawling onto the plants after dark. To control Vine Weevil numbers when repotting, keep a lookout for the larvae which are white brown heads and 10mm in length they eat the succulent roots under the crown of the plant which will eventually die if left untreated. Also because of the lack of chemical treatments, nematodes are available from commercial suppliers. The live microscope nematodes are supplied in a carrier, which, when mixed with water, produces an active suspension of nematodes, these are then watered into infested pots where the nematodes search for the Vine Weevil larvae and enter their bodies. Once inside, the nematodes release pathogenic bacteria from their gut which kill the larvae within a couple of days, treatment is most effective when applied in late August till mid-September.

HAVE A HOME? THESE CUTIE PIES NEED ONE.

BELLA

Is a sweet-natured older lady at 14 years young! She was brought to the Centre after her owner sadly passed away. Bella likes nothing better than to sit on your lap and have a cuddle and a fuss. She also likes to sit in the sun and watch the world go by. Bella does need a home where she is the only pet as other cats and dogs worry her. If you can offer this lovely lady a wonderful home, you won’t regret it!

PIPER AND WILLOW (3 ½ years old) Have to come to Cats Protection because their owner became allergic to cats. Willow is more confident and loves a fuss whereas Piper needs time to build a bond. However, she loves her grub, so there’s an easy way to her heart! They have been mostly indoor cats but do enjoy venturing into the garden. We would like them to have outdoor access again but ideally somewhere quiet, where they can enjoy a good mooch around and chase the odd leaf! If you’d like to discuss adopting them, get in touch on 01904 760356 or visit www.york.cats.org.uk

RIO

Lovely Rio has had a tough paper round and truly deserves a loving home. After being rescued from appalling conditions, he has had a long stay at the RSPCA while his previous owners were prosecuted. But now RSCPA York is proud to introduce one of the most gentle and sweetnatured of dogs. Rio is a total ‘gentle giant.’ Unfortunately, Rio suffers from arthritis, not only in hips but in his back as well, he is on pain medication which does help. He is looking for a home where he will not be taken on very long walks, he gets 3 x 15-minute walks which is all he can manage, but he does love every minute of his little adventures. Rio will need to be the only pet in the home as he does not like to be around other dogs. After such a terrible life before being rescued Rio really deserves to be in a loving new home, he really will make the most fantastic best friend. If you can help, visit www.rspca-yorkhome.org.uk for more information.

Many parents and children are feeling the pressure about heading back to school in September after such a long time off. But there’s no need to make your kids learn the hard way: York Tuition Centre offers support to help children get back into the swing of learning. Qualified Teacher and Centre Manager, Rachael Holmes, and her team of qualified staff offer professional and bespoke tuition for children aged 5-16. The tuition is affordable, flexible and focuses on building confidence and developing independent learning skills. Rachael said: “The new curriculum has a lot more in it than it did, so schools have to go through the information quickly. I’ve found that children can feel anxious about missing something

ABC because the pace is fast and it can feel tricky to catch up. We often go back to basics and work on the foundation for them. Children are rarely far behind, it’s more about helping them to become more confident and soothe their anxieties about learning.” If you would like to learn more about York Tuition Centre call 07968 049406 to book a free assessment or email Rachael@yorktuitioncentres.co.uk.

HEALTH & BEAUTY FOR YOU

Return to sport following Covid-19 Leeds United FC Senior Men’s Physiotherapist and Senior Physiotherapist for Yorkshire Sports Medicine, Bill Atton, has put together some pointers for returning to sport following the initial wave of the pandemic. Now that the government has relaxed restrictions to allow safe return to sport, we have put together a few key points to ensure you return at your best level and avoid the risk of illness and injury.

Prior to return All participants (players, coaches, spectators etc.) should check for symptoms of Covid-19. If an individual is symptomatic and/or living in a household with a possible Covid-19 infection they should remain at home and follow Government guidance. The most common symptoms include; •High temperature (above 37.8°C). •A new, continuous cough. •A loss of, or change to, sense of smell or taste.

Bill Atton

•Be aware that at any point where the game/training session allows you should be socially distanced. •Avoid handshakes/huddles •Make time for regular hygiene breaks. •Avoid the sharing of equipment, and if any equipment is used it should be cleaned at the earliest convenient time.

Physical preparation

One of the most common causes of musculoskeletal injury is a sudden increase in activity. This is particularly relevant following the lockdown period as many will have not been able to train at their usual level and expect to return at a level they last trained at. At the venue This can put you at a heightened risk of muscle strains and tendinopathies •You should walk/cycle to the venue (where your tendons become inflamed if able and avoid the use of public and painful). transport.

muscles), quadriceps and hamstrings (muscles at the front and back of the thigh), and gastrocnemius and soleus (calf). There is an excellent resource provided by FIFA, called the FIFA11+ which is a program targeting these major muscle groups alongside balance and stability.

Injury management If you do pick up an injury on your return the immediate action should be

HEALTH & BEAUTY FOR YOU 44 44

NAMASTE Well, no one could have expected 2020! We have all been through challenging times and most of us are feeling this in one way or another in our bodies, minds, and spirits. Long weeks of not seeing those we love, not engaging in our usual social lives, and not working in our usual ways impacts our physical and mental health. Perhaps we have been ill and have had a lengthy recuperation. Perhaps we are suffering from loneliness and disconnection, or maybe we are dealing with personal grief, as well as the collective grief from these unprecedented times. Whatever our individual stories are, one thing that can bring us together and help our healing is our yoga practice. At York Yoga Studio we have kept our classes running online throughout the shutdown to offer community, exercise, meditation, and a sense of perspective. Students tell us that the chance to see their friends at their weekly yoga classes quickly became the highlight

of their week. In our classes, we feel the joy and support of community and are reminded that even in isolation, we remain connected to each other. And of course, the physical practice helps us keep our bodies limber and strong and our immune systems charged and healthy. Yoga is a practice for the mind and spirit as well as the body, and during these stressful times, this is where our practice sustains us. Yoga reminds us to be present in each moment, to experience each breath as a gift, and to feel a sense of gratitude for our lives. When the world feels like it has gone mad, yoga is the tether which keeps us grounded and real and our sense of positivity and optimism intact. We are preparing for a limited reopening at our physical studio in September, but we are retaining our online classes as well. You can choose how you carry on your yoga practice in a safe and supervised way: in-studio classes, with social distancing and hygiene protocols; strictly online, from the safety of your home; or in a blended format, with some students

present in the classroom and others online in the same class. No matter how you choose to come to classes, we respect your priorities and your boundaries. If you would like to join our yoga community, you are very welcome! Please do visit our website or Facebook page for more information and to see our timetable. All our classes now require pre-booking and prepayment, which is extremely easy to do using our Punchpass system. You can join a single, one-off class, or you can join a course. Beginners are welcome in our All Levels Classes! Yoga offers you a way to regain your sense of equilibrium and control, to reconnect with your community, and to heal your body, mind and spirit, breath by mindful breath.

See us at www.yorkyogastudio. co.uk, find us on Facebook www.facebook.com/YorkYogaStudio, on Twitter @YorkYogaStudio, or call us on 01904 785704.
