Dear Readers, Welcome to the April edition of your DNfourteen Magazine.

Why not check out our ‘Too Much Information’ article which tackles the topic of bowel movements or the lack of movement in some cases! Not to be read whilst eating your lunch I might add! We have a great new sporting event in the Tour de Yorkshire taking place on our doorstep so do read the article and get out to support the teams as they cycle by. Hopefully it may encourage a few more of us to get our bikes out too. In our Gardening feature for April we give you all the advice you need to get you out and start things moving in the green fingers department. However, if you would rather just sit back with a glass of wine and enjoy the labours of others; we have some of the best gardening professionals in the area advertising - so if you need your mower fixing, a new spade or a complete redesign and build they can do it. And finally… please remember that we would love to hear from you. So if you have a story to tell or just want to write something that other readers would find interesting please do get in touch.

The Government has invited tenders from rail companies and has asked potential bidders to consider putting into their bids proposals for increased services on presently under-used lines such as the Goole to Leeds line. Andrew reports, “The current services on the Goole-Leeds line are about as useful as a chocolate fireguard. The outward morning service leaves very early at 7.04am, and the return service isn’t until 5.16pm. It can’t be used by shoppers or people wanting a few hours in Leeds, and nor is it much use for commuters. Worse still, if you get the later evening service, you can’t get back until the next day! The other week I met with one of the companies looking to operate the new franchise, Keolis. The company wanted to know from me what I felt about current services and what I felt about this line. I explained that, with towns like Snaith growing and more people commuting further, there was a definite demand for a more regular service to Leeds, possibly two-hourly or something similar. In terms of the services to Sheffield, Doncaster and Hull, these are frequent but many people complain about the quality of the service and the trains. The Government is requiring the replacement of the ancient pacer trains and I have made clear my view that we need access to things like Wi-Fi on rail services as standard now.” Andrew Percy MP 83 Pasture Road, Goole, East Riding of Yorkshire, DN14 6BP Tel: 01405 767969 Email: brigg.goole @gmail.com email: recording4funstudio@gmail.com Call: 07580 662 308 or 01405 469 453 • For ages 7 upwards, Kids, Teens & Adults! • Groups sizes from 5 to 25 Singers. • Less Hassle, We bring the party to you! • Mobile call out all across Yorkshire. • Gift vouchers & Singing Experiences. • DBS Registered (CRB Checked). • Public Liability Insured. • Stag & Hen Parties (Ladies Nights)! www.recording4fun.co.uk We bring our professional mobile recording studio to your home or party venue!

Your pets and you: a winning team National Pet Month will be encouraging people to team up with their pets to get happy and healthy. During the month, thousands of people will be celebrating happy times with their pets at hundreds of events up and down the country. While many of these events will raise funds for local animal charities, National Pet Month is not just about fund raising. It is also all about raising awareness of how pets make people’s lives happier and healthier, and how we can repay the pets we love by looking after them responsibly. Details of how to join in and become a supporter are on our website www.nationalpetmonth.org.uk. You can set up an event yourself, or enter one of the National Pet Month competitions, or just check out the website to see what’s happening in your area. Phil Sketchley, chairman of NPM said: “Keep in touch with what’s on in your area by looking on our website. We are also planning some great competitions too.” “National Pet Month is an opportunity for us all to learn more about responsible pet care so we can enjoy our pets and make a winning team for many years to come. By following our 10 top tips, our animals will enjoy healthier and longer lives,” he said. 7 Happiness is...... time with your pet. Top Ten Tips for Responsible Pet Ownership 1. Think carefully before getting a pet and learn about its special requirements. 2. Ensure your pet is sociable and well trained. 3. Provide a nutritious and well balanced diet. 4. Provide suitable housing and bedding. 5. Clean up after your pet and worm it regularly. 6. Protect against disease. Your vet can provide you with advice. 7. Prevent unwanted litters and neuter your pet when appropriate. 8. Groom your pet regularly. 9. Control your pet and ensure it is properly identified. 10. Take out pet insurance for dogs, cats, rabbits and horses to cover against unexpected veterinary fees and third party liability.

National Pet Month 8 To contact please Email: ask@daltonspire.co.uk • Telephone: 01964 552 470 Fleas can cause infestation even in spotless homes or on the cleanest pets. Once fleas take hold they can quickly cause big problems, so keeping up-to-date with regular flea treatment is really important, particularly as the weather gets warmer and fleas breed more. The thirsty adult flea will alight onto a dog or cat and have a blood meal, and within a matter of hours will start to produce up to 50 eggs a day. These eggs roll off your pet and settle into dark, cool places in your house. For every live flea you see, there are 200 eggs lurking somewhere in your house ready to hatch. Fleas are not only unpleasant to live with, biting humans as well as our pets, but they can also carry serious diseases. Fortunately fleas cannot survive on human blood alone, preferring dogs or cats, where they can multiply, transfer tapeworms and blood borne diseases which cause anaemia and viruses. They can also cause severe skin allergies from sensitivity to their saliva. If you think you pet is carrying fleas act quickly. Not only do you need to treat your pet but also your home. Household sprays are available for this and it is also important to wash bedding regularly and vacuum floors and skirting boards. The most common way of diagnosing a flea infestation is by seeing the adult flea or flea dirt on your pet. If you are unsure, your vet will be able to help to make the diagnosis, as it is not always as easy as it sounds. There are many products on the market, ranging from “spot-on” treatments to injections. All are designed to eliminate the life stages of a flea and stop its reproductive cycle. You are now able to actually tailor make your flea prevention programme for ease and convenience. One notable important point is that cats are quite sensitive to insecticides such as permethrines so ensure that your cat has a product made especially for cats and if you have both dogs and cats in your home ensure that the cat doesn’t come into contact with your treated dog directly afterwards. Fleas will never be completely eradicated from our lives but we know how to control their numbers. With a little forethought, by treating the house and by using effective year round products to place on your pets, you will at least be ready to take on the growing numbers of fleas as temperatures pick up. If you have any queries about flea treatments for your pet you should contact your Vet for advice. Dealing with Fleas!

Tour de Yorkshire 10 To contact please Email: ask@daltonspire.co.uk • Telephone: 01964 552 470 The Tour of Yorkshire would not have been on the bucket list of palmarès for the likes of Bradley Wiggins and Mark Cavendish when they set out on their long and glorious journeys to cycling stardom. Indeed, the likes of cycling giants Alebrto Contador and Vincenzo Nibali would probably have struggled to locate Yorkshire on a map of Great Britain prior to the 2014 Tour de France. Yet the overwhelming success of the 2014 Tour has opened hearts and minds to the existence of a true hotbed of cycling fanaticism in the North of England. The challenges facing the organisers of those truly epic two days in Yorkshire last year was how to create a lasting legacy and build upon their quite unexpected but deserved success. It would be easy to consign the 2014 Tour de France to a sepia-tinted image of a brief epoch but that is not the way of Gary Verity, orchestrator of the campaign to bring the Tour de France to his beloved county. His relationship with Christian Prudhomme was one of the most significant and intriguing backdrops to last year’s Tour. Director of the Tour de France at Amaury Sport Organization, Prudhomme is one of cycling’s movers and shakers. “After the grandest of Grand Départs of the Tour de France, we were keen to return to Yorkshire” may have been interpreted by some as a courteous adieu but it was much more than that; it was a statement of intent from a key figure in world cycling sport. His willingness to return to Yorkshire and, importantly, once again partner with Welcome to Yorkshire, represented more than just a pat on the back for a job well done. It is the keystone of a precious legacy for cycling sport in the region. “With its stunning landscapes, iconic cities and tough climbs, Yorkshire offers all the ingredients needed for a great cycling race. The welcome we received in Yorkshire in July 2014 was simply spectacular and I am very much looking forward to returning there in May for the Tour de Yorkshire.” This could be mistaken for Prudhomme’s marketing spiel, after all, he is a highly effective business practitioner but behind his words lies a genuine warmth for the county and its people. The irony is that it takes a Parisian to see such potential in a region so sadly overlooked by our southern brethren. Of course, Prudhomme has an eye for the figures. He realizes that the crest of the wave on which UK cycling sport has grown, particularly since the 2012 Olympic and Tour de France triumphs of Wiggins, seems to have created a rich untapped market with more potential growth to come. Jean-Etienne Amaury, Prudhomme’s ASO’s president, has even admitted that he has been astonished by the development of cycling sport in the UK. Money and sport, sport and money. It is not always a happy partnership but any self-respecting business person within the county cannot overlook the potential gains that the cycling circus could bring to the region. Sheffield provided one of the finishing points for last years’ Tour de France. It is reliably estimated that the city benefitted from an inflow of £11m from the event with an expected £3.4m of future income expected to flow from their successful staging of the Day Two finish. These are bold and impressive figures, open to challenge perhaps, but anyone who lined the routes of the Yorkshire’s 2014 Tour de France will not be surprised to learn that spectator numbers were estimated at 2.5m. Do the mathematics and the income for the Yorkshire stages of an estimated £100m represents a realistic spend of £40 per head. With an overall cost of £27m – this represents a spectacular investment not a cost. We cannot escape the lamentable truth that Hull could not raise to the occasion and bid successfully for a stage of the 2015 Tour of Yorkshire but the business community in East Yorkshire should not despair. Stages will take place Bridlington, Flamborough and Scarborough on Day One Le Tour de Yorkshire Bradley Wiggins during Tour de France 2012 Stage 11

Supporting The Local Economy THE COPY DEADLINE for the MAY EDITION is 20th APRIL 2015 11 with a second day of racing through Market Weighton, Walkington, North Newbald and Beverley before returning to last year’s totem, York Racecourse. For those who are interested in the Tour of Yorkshire but not all out cycle enthusiasts it is difficult to gauge just how important a sporting event this is. Starting on 1st May in Bridlington and ending in Leeds on 3rd May, the race fits between the Tour de Romandie and the Tour de France. It offers an ideal warm up race for the Tour de France and has already attracted some of the world’s biggest teams with rumour that Bradley Wiggin’s own newly formed team taking part. We should make no mistake; this race is not a sideshow. It takes its place among the elite events of the cycling calendar with a three year commitment to extending the event throughout the county. Cycling enthusiasts would be forgiven for thinking ‘So is this just about money and status’? Anyone who scaled Holme Moss at last year’s Tour de France can answer that question in the turn of a pedal. Few events could touch the emotional heights that 60,000 spectators witnessed that day. Riding through Holmfirth in the company of my cycle buddies, I never expected to see a crowd of that nature. Turning the last corner before the climb up Holme Moss, I gazed at painted greetings decorating the sticky hot tarmac road. ‘City Road Club’ was one which caught the eye straight away and to my right, those hardy members had established a blue and yellow CTC corner. I would like to say that my progress was distracted there as ‘Superman’ Gary overtook me followed by ‘the model’ Carl, Ben, Cam and Nadine, with ‘Allez’ Ali still entertaining the spectators. However, unbeknown to me, the seat post on my new BMC cycle was slowing sliding back into the frame. Thanks to the young kid who said ‘Daddy, that man looks like a little monkey on a bike.’ If anything was going to motivate me to stop, kick my wheel, raise the seat post and press on, then his words did the trick. However, it was the reassuring words of ‘cool’ Cam ‘just stick to my wheel Ian, we’ll get there soon’ that truly inspired me to ride on despite my seat post still slipping down on every peddle stroke. Memories like that are priceless but more importantly we must now embrace the Tour of Yorkshire as one of the rare gift horses that have blessed God’s Own County. Cont. Page 12

Health & Wellbeing 14 To contact please Email: ask@daltonspire.co.uk • Telephone: 01964 552 470 Interest Free Credit Available Interest Free Credit Available By Debbie Pickering I have recently discovered an Aloe Vera Gel drink. Yeah, no kidding! You can actually drink Aloe Vera! It is “a daily nutritional drink to maintain a healthy digestive system, balance the immune system and maintain healthy energy levels” and it tastes disgusting! However…here’s where it gets interesting (if a little too much information): Back at the beginning of March 2011 I had to have a hysterectomy. Since then, so for 3.5 years, I have been unable to go to the loo properly. According to the NHS website: Constipation is a common condition that affects people of all ages. It can mean that you’re not passing stools regularly or you’re unable to completely empty your bowel. Constipation can also cause your stools to be hard and lumpy, as well as unusually large or small. The severity of constipation varies from person to person. Many people only experience constipation for a short time, but for others, constipation can be a long-term (chronic) condition that causes significant pain and discomfort and affects quality of life. Trust me when I say I have the chronic variety and significant pain and discomfort have become part of my daily life! On the days that I could go, I referred to it as ‘sheep-dodding’ but most days I just couldn’t go – despite upping fruit and fibre in my diet etc. Then I started drinking the gel – really disgusting – but fresh out of the fridge, first thing on a morning, just down it (like a shot) before my first coffee. I didn’t even consider that it may help with the loo issue… But it has! Too Much Information!

I felt like the two year old who has ‘just gone potty’ for the first time. I wanted to lead everybody into the toilet to see what I’d done. I felt so proud! But better still, I’ve been everyday since. Too much information? I don’t care, I’m not bored yet! I AM NOT A DOCTOR and I have no medical training but I know what works for me and has worked for others too. My friend has IBS (with continual indegestion and bloating - really really uncomfortable) and she is now in love with the gel drink too. It’s a completely natural product and doesn’t come with a volume of side-effects! If you want to try the drinking gel for yourself – you don’t have to admit to any toilet issues, (It’s an all round tonic that has 75 nutrients that our bodies can use). I would recommend a really good quality one. You can buy Aloe Vera Drinks all over but the percentage of Aloe Vera in the drink can vary enormously. It’s worth a try though don’t you think?

Gardening Sponsored by Heritage Landscape Centre 18 To contact please Email: ask@daltonspire.co.uk • Telephone: 01964 552 470 April Gardening Beware of late frosts and keep vulnerable plants and new shoots protected at night if frost is forecast. Don’t be tempted to put out tender bedding until much later on in the month, and even then be prepared to cover it if necessary. Deadhead daffodils and narcissi; give them a liquid feed or a sprinkling of bonemeal and then let them die down. Don’t cut off the leaves as they are necessary to replenish the bulb for next year. Keep deadheading spring bedding to keep it looking neat, and to encourage new flowers. Mulch away while you can still see what you are doing and before the herbaceous growth really takes off. Use your own garden compost or leaf mould, well rotted manure, the contents of out-of-date grow bags or ready- made soil conditioner. Now the soil is warming up and things are starting to grow, add general purpose fertiliser before covering with mulch especially in borders, the fruit and vegetable patch and containers. If you have already mulched, draw it back (if possible), tease the soil a little, add fertiliser and replace the mulch. Carry on removing moss and weeds from paths, terraces and drives. Make new beds and borders - mark the shape with sand trickled from a bottle, remove the top layer of growing vegetation and dig the ground over, incorporating as much organic matter as possible. If you are making a bed in the lawn, remove the turf – if you dig it in the buried grass will regrow. Clean and repair your garden tools, book the lawn mower in for a service and check garden furniture for any rot. When it is warm enough, treat sheds, fences and trellis with wood preservative; brushes and rollers are fine for

Thank you. most things, however a sprayer is well worth buying for tricky projects such as woven panels! Now is the time to wage war on slugs and snails. They love tulips and delicacies such as the delicious young shoots of delphiniums and the like, so use pet-friendly slug pellets, and drench the ground around hostas with liquid slug killer to exterminate slugs below the surface. Keep an eye out for snails and pick them off - what you do with them is up to you. Birds are your friends here - flat stones artfully located are useful accessories for birds to practise their snail catching techniques. Plant and move evergreen shrubs, conifers and trees and remember to water them well until firmly rooted in. Plant evergreen hedges such as laurel, yew and box and again keep them well watered in dry spells. A good soak once a week is better than superficial watering on a regular basis. Feed woody plants with general purpose fertiliser - this applies to roses, trees, climbers, hedges and shrubs. Feed acid loving plants such as camellias and rhododendrons with ericaceous feed if you are on neutral or alkaline soil. A dose of sequestered iron also helps prevent the leaves turning yellow. (Tip - mulch regularly with fresh or composted pine needles. This can acidify the ground slightly.) Finish pruning your roses and start spraying them with fungicide to ward against black spot and mildew. Repeat every fortnight until the autumn. Remember that if an infection sets in, all the stricken leaves must be burnt - do not leave them on the compost heap as this will become the perfect incubation site. Prune hydrangeas - do not remove stems with a bud at the top, but snip off old stems bearing deadheads to just above the topmost healthy bud and remove weak shoots altogether from the base. With established plants, remove some of the older shoots right down to the base - this will keep the plant compact. The latter also applies to forsythia (prune once it has finished flowering by cutting back flowered shoots down to a new shoot further down - all the new growth this season will flower next year) and to flowering currants (Ribes).

The event is set to take place in Beverley Minster on Saturday 25 April October between 10am and 4pm and entry is £1 to help raise funds for the Minster. Event organiser Jane Gough of Dalton Spire said “The Fair is shaping up to be the largest vintage shopping event in East Yorkshire with over 70 exhibitors already booked to attend. We had over 5,000 people attend last year and we have more happening this time around including a live performance from the Diamond Girls (pictured above) vintage singers.” Jane goes on to say: “There will be two vintage catwalk shows, make-up and hair demonstrations so that you can get the vintage look yourself. We have the Kingston Swing group doing Lindy Hop dance demonstrations; again this is another event that people can join in on, on the day. We also have live music and DJ Lynne will be playing all kinds of vintage and retro music throughout the day including air-raid sirens, Churchill’s speeches and more to give the proceedings a period atmosphere and to entertain and indulge all vintage hungry shoppers.” Aside from vintage clothing from the 1920s - 1980s, shoppers can also find re-worked and handmade clothes and jewellery, arts and crafts, homewares, kitchenalia, furniture, movie memorabilia, comics, toys and collectables, including exclusively discounted items from vintage dealers and wholesalers. This time we have got a vintage tearoom within the Minster that will be serving refreshments and food throughout the day. Traders at The Vintage, Retro and Handmade Fair are bringing a wide range of goods that are varied, quirky and eclectic to suit all tastes and budgets. So if you are an avid collector or just a casual browser you will find something here of interest. It is the ideal place to get a unique gift for yourself or that rare collectable that you have had trouble tracking down. Visitors are encouraged to get in the spirit of the event by attending in vintage clothing. There will be prizes for the best dressed visitors and exhibitors..

TOUR DE YORKSHIRE It’s expected to become one of the highlights of the cycling calendar – and it’s coming up at the beginning of May! Yes, this year sees the inaugural Tour de Yorkshire and it’s sure to be a spectacle not to be missed! And while the Tour de France didn’t quite make it to East Yorkshire, this one most definitely will. While it starts in Bridlington on May first, the second stage will see the cyclists making their way through Market Weighton and North Newbald before heading to Beverley. It’s also going to be broadcast live on television throughout Europe. This will undoubtedly be a huge boost for East Yorkshire’s economy. Looking at the figures from Le Tour last year, it generated £128 million for the economy as a whole, and £102 million of that came in Yorkshire. It’s going to be great - and I can’t wait to see it! And don’t forget to check out letour.yorkshire.com to get the full details of the route! AVERAGE SPEED LIMITS What is it about people driving through average speed limits? When I hit such a limit along the motorway I always make sure I stay within the average speed, which is more often than not 50mph on my travels across the M62. So why is it that I get lorries on my bumper which then move out to overtake so they can go faster? And other cars just career past with no thought to the limit at all? Some of them seem to think it’s OK to slow down just when they are approaching the cameras, but that’s because they obviously don’t understand the word “average!” The cameras are calculating your average speed over a fixed distance. So those people should either buy a dictionary and/or remember their maths classes from school. Fiona x
