Graham Stewart MP: CADEY Campaign is one step closer to helping prevent cardiac arrest deaths.

When a heart attack strikes every second counts; the slightest delay in the time it takes for the person to get help can be the difference between life and death.

This is why for some time I have been chairing a campaign to improve survival rates from cardiac arrest. My work is through CADEY (Community Access Defibrillators for East Yorkshire), a campaign group which seeks to raise awareness of cardiac arrest and help provide every community in my constituency of Beverley and Holderness with a potentially lifesaving community access defibrillator in their village.

The CADEY campaign team is lucky to be comprised of great people from various walks of life such as Yorkshire Ambulance Service and local charity ‘Smile Foundation’ who help coordinate and fund the vital AEDs. The team and I recently held our monthly strategy meeting where among other things we celebrated the completion of a massive step forward in our campaign; contacting every parish council in the Beverley and Holderness constituency asking them to

BeverleyMag October 2018

become a ‘CADEY Council’ by installing a defibrillator in all villages they are responsible for.

I am so pleased our campaign has completed this step and that we are now ready to provide support to our parishes with installing these life saving devices. I hope all of the parishes in my constituency will sign up to be a ‘CADEY Council’ and help provide full coverage of defibrillators.

Even without full coverage we have already seen defibrillators saving the lives of local residents, so imagine how many more people we could potentially save if every single community has a community access AED.

Some local campaigners have already taken the initiative and raised money for defibrillators for their communities. For example, Walkington village girls Amelia and Jessica’s ‘Team Stand Tall’ campaign for an extra village Our local parish councils and defib for their playing fields and those who run them already CADEY team member Jordan do incredible work in our communities to better the lives of Moor from Beverley who has raised over £25,000 for village all residents. So, it is no surprise defibs. They and all those who that many of them already have AEDs installed. However, for every have campaigned for the access to defibrillators we already enjoy single person in our area to have have done truly impressive work. access to one should the worst happen, we absolutely must have them in every single community. But as a community we can and

must do more until everyone has access to a defibrillator regardless of where they are. I would ask everyone in Beverley and the surrounding villages to help raise the profile of my campaign and to get involved with their parish council’s work to raise the money necessary for installation.

I look forward to taking the CADEY campaign forward by working with our parish councils to achieve full coverage of these increasingly important devices.

All set for autumn: five easy ways to clear the clutter and make your home feel bigger - and brand new

So long hazy summer days, autumn is fast approaching and so too are our plans to rid homes of clutter before the winter chill sets in. Here are five easy ways to get started...

It seems spring isn’t the only time of year we feel the need to have a good clear out, as a recent survey

by Pinterest reveals 43 per cent of Brits want to declutter and re-organise their homes between the last few weeks of summer and the onset of autumn.

While we’re all happy to turn a blind eye to a bit of clutter during the summer heatwave, come autumn the lights have most definitely been switched on.

Storage solutions are becoming

BeverleyMag October 2018

increasingly popular, too, with concealed storage searches up 59 per cent and handbag storage searches up by 99 per cent on Pinterest in the year to May. Seven out of 10 Brits feel stressed by household clutter, according to a report by self-storage company Space Station. But, if you’re living like most Londoners, it is likely you are short of time as well as space – so why not start small?

“Instead of looking at the home as one huge declutter project, take a measured approach, do a little bit daily and start small,”

advises Tracey Ousby, House & Home Features Editor, “When it comes to updating your home for the new season, a good place to start is by organising cupboards, packing bags for the charity shop and getting order back into the house again.”

Where to start: Here is our pick of what to buy to help declutter your home

“Having a tidy space to come home to is a sure-fire way of feeling calmer, more productive and motivated for the months ahead,” says Ousby.

We’re in. Here are Tracey Ousby’s five top tips for decluttering your home before autumn arrives.

www.beverleymag.co.uk BeverleyMag

House & Home 1. Start small “Start with a drawer. Not a room.

Not even a cupboard. Start small and tidy one drawer. Why? Because the feeling of ticking that task off the to-do list will motivate you to do more. We all have that drawer filled with random wires, chargers and earphones. Get an old soap bag or even a sealable freezer bag to store them in so you’re not dealing with a tangled mess every time you open the drawer.”

2. Tackle the wardrobe “This is the time to be ruthless.

If you haven’t worn something in a year, then it needs to go to the charity shop. Be honest with yourself and if it doesn’t fit, or it’s still got the label on months later, then give it to someone who will feel the benefits.”

3. Bag it up “Vacuum bags are a lifesaver when it comes to organising and decluttering. How many bedspreads, duvets, pillows and sleeping bags etc do you have taking up valuable space?

Shrink them down and store them above your wardrobe, loft or under your bed. You could also vacuum pack your summer holiday clothes away until next year, creating even more space.”

4. Take on the kitchen “Treat your kitchen as a project

BeverleyMag October 2018

within itself. From the cupboard under the sink where cleaning products are stacked upon cleaning products, to out of date spices, the kitchen is often where you’ll get the most satisfaction from a deep clean and organisation.”

“Buy plate stackers to create more room in cupboards and sort through tupperware boxes with odd lids – try to use the plastic pots you have before buying anymore. Use a basket under the

sink to store away any cloths, polish, bleach etc and go through every single thing in your fridge and cupboards to check best-by dates.”

5. Why are you keeping it?

“The most important question to ask when you’re decluttering is, do I have realistic plan to use

this? If you’re keeping hold of something “just in case”, “you’ll fix it in the future”, or even “because what if it comes back into fashion”, then you need to learn to let go. Unless it’s serving you with a sentimental purpose, put it in a bin liner and move on. The therapeutic feeling of decluttering will be worth it.”

Clear the air:how to improve the air quality in your home, from houseplants to purifiers

The dangers of pollution are well documented. Accelerated ageing and respiratory problems are among the most serious health impacts of air pollution across the UK and worldwide.

The UK has the highest prevalence of childhood asthma out of all European countries, according to the report, with indoor air quality described as particularly important as it “may affect the health, performance and comfort of school students and staff.”

Allergens such as moulds and house dust mites can worsen symptoms usually associated with asthma – wheezing, shortness of breath – and in extreme cases can result in seizures.

So what can you do to minimise the impact of these indoor pollutants?

Whether you live in a pollen hotspot or in a small city flat near a polluted zone, here are some top tips for improving the air quality in your home.

PURIFIERS Air purifiers trap dust and pollen particles, reducing the impact of allergies, asthma and hay fever.

BeverleyMag October 2018

It’s advisable to turn air purifiers off and open windows in one room at a time for at least 10 minutes, to ensure a new supply of air for the purifier to clean.

Get rid of major dust collectors such as old cushions and heavily upholstered furniture.

And, in really polluted areas, it’s a good idea to use a purifier-fan

combo to make sure the clean air reaches the entire room rather than concentrating in one part. Some purifiers have indicators on them so you can track, and improve, your home’s most polluted areas.

PLANTS “Indoor air is up to ten-times as polluted as outdoor air so, as we sit in our offices breathing recycled, air-conditioned air we are also

exposed to many common toxic chemicals,” says Mathew Cooper, founder of houseplant supplier Plant Grow Bloom.

“Plants have been shown to be the most viable way of reducing these chemicals in a domestic or office setting.”

House & Home in 1989 but widely regarded as the most comprehensive to date, found the top air-purifying houseplants to include Weeping Fig, Devil’s Ivy, Flamingo Lily, snake plants, bamboo palm, spider plants, peace lillies and ferns.

DIFFUSERS “Ultrasonic essential oil diffusers can help to combat some pollutants in the home if used correctly,” says lifestyle guru Mojabbi Miah.

“Die-hard aromatherapists believe that essential oils can help with breathing difficulties caused by chemicals, pollutants and other allergens.

“However, for some users, essential oil use can exacerbate certain conditions caused by air pollution as even 100 per cent natural essential oils contain some allergens.”

“We find that oils can help ease some of the discomfort caused by pollution and allergens. Eucalyptus

and peppermint can help to ease the symptoms of hay fever and nasal congestion.”

CLEANING PRODUCTS “You should be as careful about the products you use in your home as the ones you use in your beauty regime,” says Sarah Hole, cofounder of Livkleen.

Cleaning products, paints and printers all contain organic compounds which can worsen symptoms for sufferers of common breathing problems.

“Use eco green cleaning products that are open and transparent about the ingredients they use. You don’t need products that have been dyed hot pink to know that they work,” says Hole.

“An airborne pollutant that can commonly be found in cleaning products is bleach, so choosing products that don’t rely on harsh chemicals to do the cleaning is a great way to swap out the bleach.”

WAYS TO IMPROVE INDOOR AIR QUALITY 1. Invest in your vacuum cleaner Allergens can build up in household dust so it’s a good idea to invest in a powerful vacuum cleaner which can help minimise the amount of chemicals and pollutants found in our homes, but also pollen, pet fur and dust mites too. Don’t forget to clean walls, carpet edges and furniture too.

2. Leave your shoes at the door Use doormats to make sure dirt from the outside world stays there.

Or, even better, leave your shoes at the door.

3. If you have a pet it’s time to banish it from the bedroom Clean regularly, and make sure to brush pets outside as often as possible to decrease the amount

BeverleyMag October 2018

of dander in your home. If you shampoo your pets, use lukewarm water. Hot water dries the skin and actually increases the flaking.

Wash their bedding regularly, in hot water.

4. Ditch the fake fragrances Air fresheners cover up smells rather than eliminate them, releasing nasty chemicals in the process. As an alternative, try dipping cotton balls in essential oils and leaving them around the house. Another top tip is to choose fragrance-free laundry products.

5. Stop using aerosols Use roll-on, preferably aluminium free, deodorants. Microwave sliced lemons, water and baking soda to cut through cooking smells and get your kitchen smelling fresh again.

6. Clean (the air) as you go Use an extractor fan in your bathroom and in the kitchen when

Thank You Beverley Lesiure Centre I would like to take this opportunity to express my appreciation and gratitude to Coby Kemp and her professional team at Beverley Leisure Centre for all of their support throughout my weight loss journey. With their help I have managed to lose 25kg in a year and went down from size 26/28 to size 14 /16.

When I joined Beverley Leisure Centre in February 2017 following a GP referral, I was not sure if this was the right way for me as I had never been active and I didn’t like exercise. After a couple of months of going on and off, I had a few sessions with Paul Cutill. Paul has so much patience and is very understanding, he put in so much effort and has gone above and beyond his responsibility to help me through this journey.

BEFORE: SIZE 28

Paul Cutill, Daniel Moore and Andrew Marchant encouraged me to enjoy the gym - so much so that I miss it when I don’t go! I am so thankful for all their support and kindness. Thanks also to Darren Gladstone, Karen Wright and Val Burnman and all the other staff who have helped me. Even the staff in the café have prepared meals based around my diet.

I am so grateful to all of you again.

You have helped make my life so much better; I’m so much happier and generally more positive. Thank you for everything!!

Helping one person might not change the whole world but it could change the world to that person! kind regards Soheila Mahdavi

East Riding’s YORSwitch collective energy switching scheme delivers savings for residents again Let’s Get Switching – with rising energy prices – Now is the ideal time to switch and fix your tariff. More than £5 million saved for East Riding Residents on the YORSwitch scheme Since the scheme started in 2013 YORSwitch has delivered more than £5 million savings for East Riding residents. In the latest auction more than 6,700 East Riding households registered for the YORSwitch scheme.

Registrations were combined with a number of other similar initiatives around the UK, to create a collective of more than 24,000 households from 38 local authority areas.

East Riding householders who signed up for the latest round of the Council’s YORSwitch scheme saved an average of £165 each following an auction between

energy companies. The council partnered with iChoosr, the UK’s leading expert in collective energy switching, together were able to deliver bespoke and highly competitive tariffs.

Now is the ideal time for residents, especially those on standard tariffs, to switch.

Residents should see if they could secure a good rate for the year ahead as wholesale energy prices are likely to continue increasing in the coming weeks.

The current round of YORSwitch ends on 27 November 2018. Registering is easy and straightforward, just visit www. eastriding.gov.uk/yorswitch, alternatively call (01482) 393939 or visit your local customer service centre. If you do not have access to the internet, please register before 19 November to enable us to get your personal offer sent out to you. Make sure you have your current energy bill to hand.

How it works: * Register for free to express your interest. * You register online at www. eastriding.gov.uk/yorswitch or Telephone (01482) 393939 * An auction takes place on 9 October between energy suppliers who try and win your business. (The winning supplier is the one making the lowest offer.

YORSwitch is not affiliated to any supplier.) * Personal offers will be sent out

from 22 October, based on the usage information you submitted. * You are under no obligation unless you decide to switch. * If you decide to accept the offer you have until midnight on the 27 November 2018 to let us know * East Riding of Yorkshire Council takes care of the entire switch for you, making the whole thing is as smooth and hassle-free as possible.

The health benefits of nuts Nuts of all kinds are packed with health promoting elements.

Their unsaturated fats support heart health by lowering unhealthy LDL cholesterol and promoting healthy HDL cholesterol.

They are also a good source of Omega-3 fatty acids, which lower triglycerides and prevent plaque build up in the arteries.

Nuts are high in fiber, which protects your health and keeps

you feeling full longer. They are rich in antioxidants such as vitamin E, folic acid, magnesium, selenium and other phytochemicals that protect your cells from oxidation and inflammation. What’s more, people who eat nuts have lower rates of several types of cancers.

Pistachios are high in resveratrol, an antioxidant also found in red wine. These and other nuts also contain arginine, which helps relax arteries and increase blood flow.

Nuts also contain plant sterols, which can improve cholesterol.

A cup of tea a day could keep glaucoma away Great news for those of us who love a cup of tea! A new study has found that, due to its high Vitamin A content, a traditional cup of tea could help to lower the risk of glaucoma.

Dr Catherine Hood of the Tea Advisory Panel said: “A new study in 1,678 adults published in the British Journal of Ophthalmology has found that enjoying at least one cup of tea daily was associated with a statistically significant 74% reduced risk of being diagnosed with glaucoma.

“This is an irreversible condition where a build-up of pressure in the eye can result in sight loss. No beneficial effects were seen when participants drank caffeinated and decaffeinated coffee, iced tea or soft drinks.

“Around two million people in the UK live with sight loss according to the RNIB. A major cause is

BeverleyMag October 2018

glaucoma which is thought to be responsible for one in ten people who register as blind.

“This study found a significant reduction in risk when people dank tea regularly. A reason for this health benefit could be the link between tea and its high flavonoid content as these compounds are known to have many health antioxidant properties.

“While the mechanisms involved in this study need to be explored further, it would appear that drinking at least one cup of tea daily could help to prevent conditions such as glaucoma which cause irreversible sight loss.”

My aim has always been to offer customers food cooked simply but with subtle layers of flavour and to make a visit to Restaurant Nathan Outlaw an experience to remember, not only for the food, but also for the professional and welcoming hospitality our front of house provides.

2. L’ENCLUME

Simon Rogan certainly isn’t complacent about his Cumbria restaurant retaining its coveted number two spot: ‘Getting ten from such a historic and trusted guide for so many years still means everything to us and it shows the way we strive to continually reinvent and make things better’.

GFG Editor, Elizabeth Carter says, ‘Simon Rogan has achieved something of a miracle. His farm-to-table operation has influenced chefs right across the country; it’s beyond dispute that British food owes him a lot.

The obsessive search for flavour begins on the farm and continues in the kitchen where Rogan’s approach is to extract maximum flavour from produce that is already pretty intense. L’Enclume delivers a complete package, with unobtrusive but attentive service that underscores the impressive food and drink.’

Also joining the elite club of ‘perfect tens’ is Core in London’s Notting Hill, the first solo venture for Clare Smyth and the highest ever new entry. Absent from the Guide for two years, Smyth, who previously headed the kitchens at Restaurant Gordon Ramsay, is back with a smash hit.

Elizabeth Carter comments on her return to the Guide; ‘At Core, Clare Smyth has found a stage on

which to show off her brilliantly artistic, deeply memorable creations, and we are delighted to welcome her back with another perfect 10. With cooking that has come on in range and delicacy since we last tried it at Restaurant Gordon Ramsay, she epitomises the genius required for a perfect 10. We love her strikingly vivid flavours and a dining room that screams class whilst being genuinely relaxed – she makes it all seem so effortless.”

Clare Smyth adds, ‘We are absolutely blown away by the news. It is wonderful to receive this kind of endorsement from such a well respected and loved guide. It is so good to know that people appreciate what we have all been working so hard for at Core’ www.thegoodfoodguide.co.uk

THE PIG & WHISTLE, Beverley also gets the approval of the Good Food Guide in the ‘Local Gem’ category ‘It’s different, certainly for Beverley,’ admitted one visitor to James Allcock’s pint-sized bistrocum-charcuterie, found beneath a modern development just off the Market Square. Just 25 covers are split between simply furnished bistro tables and the sought-after counter stools at the open-to-view kitchen.

Tapas-style small plates take in crab tartine with pickled fennel, cold roast loin of Ryedale lamb with pickled chicory, very good Galician-style octopus, and smoked fallow deer tartare with egg yolk and sourdough toast.

Pair one of the sharing boards of English charcuterie and Courtyard Dairy cheeses with a bottle from the mostly European wine list (from £19).

World of Wine English winery Chapel Down has leased 388 acres of land in the North Downs so that, along with other leased land, the winery now has 788 acres of leased land and with its own vineyards of 168 acres will, when fully planted, be the largest UK winery with 950 acres under its control.

add to the 9,500 already in the ground and with this year’s harvest completed at the end of September, the family business is pushing ahead with plans to extend their range of white and rose wines with their first red and their first fizz.

The site in Boxley, which adjoins Chapel Down’s existing vineyards on the North Downs, will be planted between 2019 and 2021. Once fully planted Chapel Down will produce one million bottles of wine.

For the second year running Laurel Vines has been named winemaker of the year and best grower in a prestigious competition run by the Mercian Vineyards Association, which covers an area from the Midlands to the North of Scotland.

Last year, according to Wine GB, the UK produced 5.9 million bottles, with supplies set to reach 8-10 million in 10 years time, making Chapel Down responsible for 10 per cent of the UK production.

In addition, the vineyard entered their six current wines into the competition, all of which picked up either a bronze or silver medal.

Other large UK producers are Nyetimber with 438 acres, Rathfinny Estate has 400 acres, Denbies 256 acres and Champagne house, Tattinger with 171 acres in Kent.

Although not on this scale, one of our two East Yorkshire vineyards, Laurel Vines, at Aike, near Beverley, has planted another 2,800 vines this year to

And the winery, whose wines are stocked by such restaurants as the Michelin-starred Pipe and Glass at South Dalton and the new York eatery, Roots, opened by Tommy Banks and the team behind the Michelin-starred Black Swan at Oldstead, are also celebrating after picking up more prestigious awards.

Laurel Vines were represented at last month’s Cottingham Food Festival and will be at Beverley Food Festival this month, on October 7.

And talking of English wine and hoping to capitalise on the growing thirst for home-grown fizz, UK supermarket Asda has released an own-label English sparkling wine from Denbies in Surrey.

Part of the supermarket’s Extra Special

Made with grapes from the 2015 vintage, Asda’s “Extra Special English Sparkling” is said to boast notes of “baked apple, citrus and complex toasty aromas”, making it a great pairing for seafood and chicken.

“English sparkling has seen such incredible growth over the last year, with our customers now looking to trade-up from Prosecco to something a little more premium for special occasions,” said Asda wine buyer, Sean Aitken.

course to produce almost 600 million bottles of fizz from the current 2018 harvest. * You might like to know a gin school has opened in Hepworth’s Arcade in Hull. Hotham’s Gin School is the brainchild of teacher Emma Kinton and her partner Simon Pownall. The couple kept up their day jobs as they put together the plans for the business venture. Simon still works for the University of Hull but Emma has now taken a complete break from conventional teaching to become head of the school.

“To ensure we’re providing customers with quality sparkling, we’ve worked closely with the team at Denbies to bottle a crisp, delicious English fizz plucked straight from vines on London’s doorstep,” he added.

Denbies Winemaker John Worontschak is heartened to see the industry he’s been a part of for 30 years finally getting the recognition it deserves.

“Having been a part of the English wine industry for 30 years, it’s extraordinary to see it blossoming so quickly, with many of the world’s finest sparkling wines now straight from English vineyards,” he said.

“The Extra Special Sparkling we’ve produced for Asda is an excellent example of a high-quality sparkling wine showing all the finesse and complexity that can be obtained with careful winemaking and a temperate climate,” he added.

Interestingly, Prosecco - and it’s amazing how cheap you can pick up a decent-drinking bottle these days from the local supermarket - is on

In addition to holding classes in the Grade II listed building Emma and Simon produce their own-brand hand-crafted gin – with cardamom a speciality – and sell at pop-up gin bars at events including the Hull Street Food Nights organised by HullBID.

Local authors to feature in the Festival of Words

Local authors will be featured heavily in the East Riding Festival of Words – the new look literature festival coming to the area in October.

The festival will be officially launched by Val Wood (picured top right) at Beverley Art Gallery on Thursday, 18 October, at 7.30pm. Val will be giving an exclusive reading of her latest novel, ‘A Place to Call Home’, which will be published in November.

Those attending the event will be able to purchase copies of her new book ahead of its publication, in an exclusive deal through East Riding Libraries.

Val Wood has written 24 novels, all set in and around Hull and the East Riding. Her first novel, ‘The

Hungry Tide’, published in 1993, won the Catherine Cookson Prize for romantic fiction. Val’s catalogue of books were named among the most-loaned titles in UK libraries on BBC Radio Four’s ‘Open Book Show’.

Tickets for this event cost £5 and are available now, visit www. festivalofwords.co.uk Another local author, Wendy Mitchell, will be at Beverley Library in the Treasure House on Thursday, 18 October, at 2.30pm.

Wendy was diagnosed with early onset dementia at the age of 58.

Her career in the NHS, and her ability to drive, cook and run were all suddenly gone, and she had to face profound questions about memory, loss, feeling, life and identity. Shocked by the lack of awareness about the disease in the community and in hospitals, she vowed to spend her time raising awareness about dementia and encouraging others to see there is life after a diagnosis. She is now

an ambassador for the Alzheimer’s Society.

Her memoir, ‘Somebody I used to know’, is the first of its kind, and is a tribute to the woman she once was and also a brave affirmation of the woman that dementia has made her become. This Guardian bestselling book challenges our understanding of humanity and confronts what we think defines us.

Tickets for this event cost £3 and are available now.

Bestselling local author David Mark will be joined by fellow writer Richard Vergette at Beverley Art Gallery on Saturday, 20 October at 5pm, as part of the festival’s ‘Dead Good Day’.

This will be a fascinating conversation about the dark stage adaptation of David’s first novel, ‘Dark Winter’, which led to the creation of a series of books about DS Aector McAvoy. The stunning stage adaptation will be back by

popular demand at Hull Truck Theatre in November.

Tickets for this event cost £5 and are available now.

The Festival of Words features four days full of poetry, literature, and spoken word events in Beverley, Bridlington and Goole, from 18-21 October. To book tickets, and to get full details of the programme, visit www.festivalofwords.co.uk Tickets are also available by calling 01482 392699, or in person by visiting Beverley library Follow on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram to keep up to date; search for @erwordfest

World News

Fifty per cent of all plant and animal species in the Amazon and Galapagos to become locally extinct by 2100 Fifty per cent of all plant and animal species in the world’s most naturally rich areas, such as the Amazon and Galapagos, could face local extinction by the turn of the century if carbon emissions aren’t brought into check.

That’s according to a new study carried out jointly between the University of East Anglia, James Cook University and WWF which claims that even if the Paris Climate Agreement 2°C target is met, these places could lose 25% of their species.

The research was published earlier this year in the journal ‘Climatic Change’ – ahead of WWF’s Earth Hour, the world’s largest environmental event.

Researchers examined the impact of climate change on nearly 80,000 plant and animal species in 35 of the world’s most diverse and naturally wildlife-rich areas – exploring a number of different climate change futures, from a no-emissions-cuts case in which global mean temperatures rise by 4.5°C, to a 2°C rise, the upper limit for temperature in the Paris Agreement.

They found that the Miombo Woodlands, which are home to African wild dogs; south-west Australia, and the Amazon-Guianas could be among the most affected areas.

The report suggests that if there was a 4.5°C global mean temperature rise, the climates in these areas could become unsuitable for many of the plants and animals currently liveing there.

This means: l Up to 90% of amphibians, 86% of birds and 80% of mammals could potentially become locally

BeverleyMag October 2018

extinct in the Miombo Woodlands, Southern Africa l The Amazon could lose 69% of its plant species l In south-west Australia 89% of amphibians could become locally extinct l 60% of all species are at risk of localised extinction in Madagascar l The Fynbos in the Western Cape Region of South Africa, which is experiencing a drought that has led to water shortages in Cape Town, could face localised extinctions of a third of its species, many of which are unique to that region.

As well as this, increased average temperatures and more erratic rainfall could become be the “new normal” according to the report – with significantly less rainfall in the Mediterranean, Madagascar and the Cerrado-Pantanal in Argentina.

Potential effects include: l Pressure on the water supplies of African elephants – who need to drink 150-300 litres of water a day l 96% of the breeding grounds of Sundarbans tigers could become submerged by sea-level rise l Comparatively fewer male marine turtles due to temperatureinduced sex assignment of eggs.

If species can move freely to new locations then the risk of local extinction decreases from around 25% to 20% with a 2°C global mean temperature rise. If species cannot they may not be able to survive. Most plants, amphibians and reptiles, such as orchids, frogs and lizards cannot move quickly enough to keep up with these climatic changes.

Lead researcher Prof Rachel Warren of the Tyndall Centre for Climate Change Research at UEA said: “Our research quantifies the benefits of limiting global warming to 2°C for

species in 35 of the world’s most wildlife-rich areas.

“We studied 80,000 species of plants, mammals, birds, reptiles and amphibians and found that 50% of species could be lost from these areas without climate policy.

However, if global warming is limited to 2°C above pre-industrial levels, this could be reduced to 25%. Limiting warming to within 1.5°C was not explored, but would be expected to protect even more wildlife.”

Overall the research is said to show the best way to protect against species loss is to keep global temperature rise as low as possible.

The Paris Agreement pledges to reduce the expected level of global warming from 4.5°C to around 3°C, which reduces the impacts, but WWF says we see even greater improvements at 2°C; and it is likely that limiting temperature rise to 1.5°C would protect more wildlife.

That’s why, on Saturday, 24 March at 8.30pm, millions of people across the world came together for Earth Hour and showed their commitment to reducing global emissions, as well as protecting people and wildlife from the impacts of climate change.

WWF says the event sent a clear message to businesses and governments that there is a global will to change this trajectory.

Dr Sam Gardner of WWF Scotland, said: “Within our children’s lifetime, places like the Amazon and Galapagos Islands could become unrecognisable, with half the species that live there wiped out by human-caused climate change.

“Around the world, beautiful iconic animals like Amur tigers (Pictured above) or Javan rhinos (Pictured top) are at risk of disappearing, as well as tens of thousands of plants and smaller creatures that are the foundation of all life on earth.

“That is why through Earth Hour we were asking everyone to make a promise for the planet and make the everyday changes needed to protect our planet.”

“This commitment will help to build the momentum we need if we are to prevent the worst impact of climate change on our most precious species.”

LOCAL PEOPLE, LOCAL LIVES Name : Tudor Jackson Job: School Crossing Patrol Officer – (since 1991 when my wife and returned to Beverley to be near family) What job did you do before?

I wanted to become a Solicitor, but coming from a humble, working class background found it very difficult to open the right doors.

However, hard work and determination resulted in me finally taking my bar examinations in September 1965. The Foreign and Commonwealth office then recruited me to go to Kenya to Africanize the legal profession. In 1970 I became Principal of the Kenya School of law and went on to publish a standard textbook on the Law of Kenya. In 1989 I was awarded the O.B.E in the New Year’s Honours List for Services to the Legal Profession and legal education in Kenya.

Tell us about your family?

I was married to my wife Marion for 61 years but sadly became a widower in 2015. I have three grown up children, (two sons and daughter), 9 grandchildren, the youngest of which is 16 and currently studying at Beverley High School, sixth form and the eldest Sarah, is head of biology at Beverley Grammer school.

What do you do in your spare time?

I have an allotment and enjoy growing fruits and vegetables. I enjoy reading the ‘Times’ and watching cricket, football and rugby league on ‘Sky” TV. I have been a Leeds United supporter since 1946, but sadly missed the ‘glory’ years, when I was living in Kenya.

How would you describe Beverley to a visitor?

A very friendly, historic town with lots to see and do. Great character pubs like ‘Nellys’ and the Micro Brewery in Swabys Yard, is well worth a visit. Saturday Market Place is the hub of the town and the weekly market is now an institution.

What do you like most about Beverley?

I think it really comes down to the people and my fellow independent shops. There always seems to be such a feeling of community. My family have had a business in Beverley for over 30 years now and the support we have been given and can give back is always amazing, so much so I feel I can call many of my customers, and local businesses, friends. I feel that’s a lovely thing to be able to say.

BeverleyMag October 2018

If you could have dinner with anyone (alive or dead) who would it be and why?

Geoff Boycott , not only because I love cricket and in particular am a ‘Yorkshire Cricket’ fan but because he became a legend in his lifetime.

What is your favourite food?

Having spent many years in Kenya, it would have to be a nice, hot and spicy prawn curry, accompanied with rice, naan bread and a chapatti or two.

When did you last go to the cinema and what did you see?

It must be 20 to 30 years since I have actually been to the cinema. I enjoy watching films at home on the TV or from my large DVD collection.

Name the best place in the world you have visited and why?

Mobmassa – it is on the edge of the Indian ocean and the sea there is blue and the temperature hot and humid. I am also a life long member of the Mombassa Club located in the arab quarter, overlooking the ocean, where you can dine on freshly caught lobster and crab and it won’t break the bank!

What is your favourite season of the year and why?

I love the late summer months because it means that I can harvest al the fruit and vegetables I have grown over the year on my allotment.

What do you love most about your job?

Serving the community and helping children, parents and senior citizens to cross the road safely.

Reasons to volunteer Volunteering can be rewarding in so many differing ways - Here we take a look at some of them.

1. There is a personal tie to the cause. A particular cause calls to you because you, or someone close to you, have personally experienced the hardship the cause is aiming to minimize or eradicate. Perhaps your mom survived breast cancer or you grew up in a household without enough to eat. Whatever the cause, it touches your heart and empathy drives you to give back and make a difference in the lives of those going through the same situation now.

as “different”. Volunteering with these groups allows the chance to expand your horizons and celebrate other cultures and peoples. Teaching abroad or working with refugees are examples of volunteer opportunities that allow for people from different backgrounds to come together as one.

2. Volunteering is a great way to build experience up for your CV. Perhaps you are out of work and looking for something to bide your time and keep your resume fresh. Or maybe you have a job but your current position does not allow for the training you seek. Many volunteers are able to learn a new language or to develop managerial skills in volunteer positions they commit to.

4. Volunteering sets a good example for others. Lots of folks “talk the talk”. But very few actually make the time and effort to “walk the walk”. By volunteering, you inspire others to get involved to make a positive change in the community. It also sets a good example for children. Serving food at a local soup kitchen, leading a corporate team to raise funds for a charity run, or working with atrisk adolescents in an after-school program are great examples on how to spark a passion for volunteering in others.

3. It’s a good way to bridge the gap between yourself and others who may perceive you

5. Meeting like-minded, motivated, positive people is super easy. The way someone

chooses to spend their spare time is a true reflection of their values and priorities. Connecting over shared passions for a cause while helping others is a great way to meet new friends. By volunteering, your “circle of friends” can get a whole lot bigger in just a short amount of time.

6. Volunteering can offer unique and exciting opportunities.

Depending on the project, you may get “behind-the-scenes” views of large organizations, such as political campaigns, at work. There might even be opportunities to meet famous and influential people who are spokespeople or involved in a particular cause. Or, volunteering as an usher at a theater house, for example, might enable you to see many amazing productions for free.

These are pretty cool perks for a couple hours of your time.

7. “Doing good” is important.

Every day we are bombarded with disheartening news stories.

Volunteering presents a proactive way of doing something to make the world a better place. Even the smallest gestures make a difference.

And if we all band together, those small gestures can add up to a big change! For example, when you donate clothes and toys to the Salvation Army, you are helping our world by recycling, creating jobs in thrift stores and providing a way for others to purchase needed items at an affordable price.

8. Volunteering creates empowerment. Maybe someone offered you a helping hand when you were down and out. Volunteering gives you the opportunity to pay that favor forward. Often times, a word of encouragement and a little assistance to those in need can help them get back on their feet. And when they do, they’ll most likely do the same for others. And the cycle continues.

9. Volunteering has never been easier. There is a nonprofit

BeverleyMag October 2018

organization for just about every interest or cause out there. Finding the right organization to volunteer for is just a Google search away.

Organizations recognize that do-gooders have varied skills and talents to bring to the table. These organizations have begun taking a real interest in putting the talents and expertise of volunteers to use to produce the greatest good for their clients. They have also become more flexible in volunteer scheduling, offering after work and weekend opportunities to help accommodate busy schedules.

10. Volunteering can help you get or stay healthy. It’s true!

Charity runs and walk-a-thons are excellent ways to stay motivated in your personal goals of weight loss or simply maintaining a healthy lifestyle.

When you know you have others relying on the funds you’re raising, it’s a lot easier to tie up those laces and get moving.

11. Volunteering gives greater perspective and self-awareness.

Depending on the cause, it is possible you will come face to face with some pretty heart-wrenching situations. As a volunteer, you will be expected to keep a calm and positive demeanor. Dealing with these situations can make you question your perspective on the world and the choices you make in your personal life. Though this can a bit overwhelming at first, developing a keener sense of self-awareness is an amazing transformation many volunteers experience.

12. Volunteering is good for you.

Studies show that volunteering releases tension. By helping others in need, you take the focus off of your own problems, putting into perspective how precious having a healthy, fulfilled life really is. Many volunteers realize that, while not perfect, their life is a blessing to be celebrated every day. In my opinion, this is priceless.

Bygone Beverley - In association with the East Riding Archive

SUGAR AND SPICE, AND ALL THINGS NICE...

We’ve all heard of Dundee cake, Pontefract cake, and Kendal mint cake, but very few people, if anyone, will have be aware of the ‘East Yorkshire’ sugar cake, at least not until recently. That’s because the recipe had remained hidden for centuries until its discovery in one of our archive collections.

The recipe, written on a small piece of parchment, gives simple instructions on how to bake sugar cakes. It was found amongst an archive collection of title deeds and financial records relating to the East Riding, and is part of the remains of someone’s notebook. The writer of the notebook however, is a mystery, and will sadly probably remain so. Originally, we thought that it dated back to around 1720, based on the date of some of the items found with it, but on closer inspection of the handwriting we now think it is far older, possibly 16th century from around the time of Henry VIII. There are actually a few different recipes for sugar cakes around the world, but it looks as though this one could have been a local variation that was gradually forgotten over the centuries. We couldn’t resist trying the recipe for ourselves but can confirm that if followed to ‘the letter’ it is rather spicier than the sweet biscuits we have nowadays, thanks to the recipe’s inclusion of mace as a preservative.

In the years since we first discovered it, James McKenzie at ‘The Pipe & Glass’ restaurant in South Dalton has adapted the recipe to the modern palette and incorporated it into his dessert menus, which is great news because it helps to give the ‘East Yorkshire sugar cake’ a new lease of life.

For anyone who would like to try the recipe, this is what it says: “To make sugar cakes Take 3 pounds of finest flower (flour), A pound of fine sugar, clowes (cloves) & mace each an ounc (ounce) finely searced (sieved), 2 pound of butter, a little rose water, knead & mould this well together, melt your butter as you put it in then mould it with your hand forth upon A bord (board), cut them round, lay them on papers & put them in an oven, be sure it be not too hot so let them stand til they be colourd (coloured).”

The original page also contains a recipe for ‘Princess Elizabeth Cake’and can be viewed on request at the East Riding Archives, in the Treasure House, Beverley.

A beginner’s guide to:

WINTER CABBAGE Patrick White of Cherry Burton Gardeners Collective explains how to produce this sturdy crop.

Cabbages are perhaps not the most fashionable crop to grow, compared to, say, its widely publicised relative,trendy super food kale. But this veg is highly nutritious and delicious in stir fries, soups or made into coleslaw. They can look decorative, too, especially winter types such as crinklyheaded savoys. Cabbages are divided into three main groups – spring, summer and winter. However, these divisions are not clear cut. The focus here is on winter cabbage, but all the groups are grown in the same way – only the sowing and transplanting dates vary.

CHOOSING VARIETIES As the name suggests, winter cabbages are mostly hardy enough to take the worst winter weather. Some are tougher than others, though, savoys being the hardiest, with the added benefit of coping well on poor soils.

There are lots of winter cabbage cultivars available, many with the RHS Award of Garden Merit (AGM). ‘January King 3’ AGM is extremely hardy, down to -15˚C, with a good flavour. ‘Tundra’ AGM is a savoy and white cabbage cross, is frost-tolerant which matures quickly and holds well through the winter. High-yielding ‘Kilaton’ AGM, a ball-headed type, has excellent club root resistance and stores well. ‘Marabel’ AGM is extremely hardy and good-flavoured with an attractive pink head.

SELECT YOUR SITE Cabbages like a sunny location but sheltered from strong winds, which could knock the heavy heads over. It is beneficial to add well-rotted manure or compost to the bed to add nutrients, aid moisture retention and improve the soil structure and drainage. But as cabbages (and other brassicas) like a firm soil, do this in the autumn before planting.

It is best practice to rotate particular groups

BeverleyMag October 2018

of crops on a three or four year cycle in the vegetable garden to prevent pest and disease build up. For this reason, brassicas should not be planted in the same area year after year. In the rotation, these edibles are planted in the area previously occupied by legumes, taking advantage of nitrogen ‘fixed’ in the ground by the peas and beans.

Like other brassicas, cabbages need an alkaline soil, which will help prevent club root disease. Soils can be ‘limed’ (lime added) to make them more alkaline, a pH of 7 to 7.5 is ideal, but this should be done three months before planting.

SOW LIKE A PRO Winter cabbages require a long growing season and take up a lot of space when fully grown, which means they are not usually sown straight in to their final planting location (fast-growing crops can use this space first, such as radishes). Instead, cabbage seed is sown in a smaller bed, or started off in pots or modules in a cold greenhouse or cold frame, before being transplanted to the final bed. Sow seed in May and transplant in July. For outside sowing, prepare a seedbed by raking the soil surface to create a fine, crumbly texture and create a seed drill with the edge of a hoe.

Sow thinly at 1cm deep, allowing 23cm between rows. Protect with a net to prevent damage from pigeons and use some form of slug control. For indoor sowing, sow at a depth of 12mm in trays or seed pans and cover with vermiculite. Prick out into individual pots.

Biodegradable pots are useful, as they can be planted straight into the ground, avoiding unnecessary root disturbance. Or the seeds can be sown directly into module trays.

Harden the plants off by placing outside during the day for a week and day and night for another week. The plants are ready to transplant when they have five or six true leaves. An alternative, if space is limited, is to purchase some cabbage plants to transplant from the garden centre, although there will be a limited range of cultivars available.

TIPS FOR TRANSPLANTING Rake a base dressing of general purpose fertiliser into the bed a week before transplanting. Before planting, rake the soil to create a fine, crumbly texture and firm with your feet. Transplant in cool weather if possible, such as early morning. Try to keep Continued on page 48

the rootball intact and use a trowel to plant.

Firm in well. Seed packets should give the correct spacing for the cultivar. As a general rule, space compact cultivars 30cm apart and larger varieties 60cm apart, with the same distance between the rows. Place root collars around each plant after planting to protect against cabbage root fly.

Water the plants in well. If they are puddled in, they won’t need so much subsequent watering, perhaps once or twice a week in dry periods.

AFTERCARE AND HARVESTING Hoe between rows to keep weed-free. Planting through landscape fabric (cutting holes for each crop) will reduce weeds and aid moisture retention. Feed occasionally with a high nitrogen liquid feed, such as seaweed.

Peel off any dead leaves to prevent rot. Earth up stems regularly to keep the plants firm. Depending on the cultivar, cabbages will be ready to harvest from October to March. Harvest by cutting through the stem just above ground level with a sharp knife. Winter red and white cabbages will keep for a long time if placed in a box lined with

BeverleyMag October 2018

straw stored in a cool place. The hardiest varieties, such as ‘January King 3’, can stay in the ground for several months over the winter and harvested as required.

PESTS AND DISEASE WATCH Birds, particularly pigeons, are a major pest of cabbages, so cover with netting.

Caterpillars are another problem, mainly those of the cabbage white butterfly. If you have only a few plants, these insects can be picked off. A preventative measure is to inspect cabbages regularly and crush any clusters of the yellow cabbage white eggs.

If you have a lot of cabbages, you can use insect-proof netting (this will double up as bird protection).

Cabbage root fly is another major pest, so use brassica collars after planting. Aphids, and more especially white fly, can be an issue. Keeping on top of weed control can reduce the prevalence of these pests – larger outbreaks can be treated by spraying with SB Plant Invigorator. One last tip is to not compost cabbage roots or leave them in the ground to prevent the spread of club root – instead, dig them up and bin or burn them instead.

TOP TEN CABBAGE VARIETIES Patrick explains his favourite brassicas ‘Celtic’ (H4) A white cabbage x savoy type with good solid heads that stand well in the soil.

‘Deadon’ (H5) Fairly large January King type with dark blue-green leaves flushed with red.

‘Endeavour’ F1 (H5) A typical savoy with mid green foliable and well-blistered outer leaves. It creatures small and medium-sized dense heads with a sweet taste. It is also winter hardy.

‘Huzaro’ (H3) A medium-sized, red cabbage.

The plants are a medium pewter colour, flushed and veined purple-red.

‘January King 3’ (H5) Large January King type; dark blue-green plants flushed with red produce a solid, flattenedround head with creamy internal colour. A good yield and long spread of cut.

‘Medee’ (H5) A medium-sized savoy type with dark blue-green leaves and a solid, round head with a creamy to pale-green internal colour.

Average weight is 500g – will crop into March.

‘Noelle’ (H4) This hybrid January King type has flattened-round heads and darkgreen leaves that are flushed with purple. It has a creamy internal colour.

‘Tundra’ (H5) A medium to large-sized cabbage; dark green plants produce a solid, roundoval head with creamy internal colour.

‘Wintessa’ F1 hybrid (H5) Dark green, well-blistered outer leaves with small solid heads. The uniform, tidy plants have proved to be winter hardy.

The Last Word

FIONA’S FOOD FOR THOUGHT

By Fiona Dwyer, broadcast journalist, PR & media consultant, slave to 2 children and a husband.

IT’S COUGH AND COLD SEASON

Oh yes. The seasons are changing. Sometimes it’s warm, sometimes it’s blowing a gale and raining. At the time of writing I am full of cold and have a horrible cough! Yay! The children are back at school and we’ve all been ill (I blame germs from school!) some with temperatures, some not. A lack of sleep from coughing all night doesn’t help!

Paracetamol and plenty of fluids are the order of the day. If you’re in the same position, you might also want to try warm lemonade. It might sound weird but a very wise friend of mine recommended it to me last year and it is incredibly soothing on the throat and really helps to clear the soreness – and it’s currently my go-to drink! I’m sure we’ll be as right as rain in a week or so, but for now, to everyone feeling a bit under the weather, get well soon!

THE CHRISTMAS COUNTDOWN IS ON! Summer hadn’t even ended and there were already Christmas displays in some shops. Of course, if you’re sensible you’ll buy things gradually over the next few months so that you don’t have a massive hit on your bank account in December. I can’t understand (and secretly envy) the people who manage to have everything bought and wrapped by the end of October! For readers of this column, you will know that I always plan to be organised so that there’s no stress on the run up to the festive season. It just doesn’t always pan out that way though! Please let this year be the year I do it properly! Good luck with your own shopping!

IT COSTS NOTHING TO BE NICE I know it might sound like a Hallmark card, but it really doesn’t cost you anything to be nice. None of us really knows what’s going on in other people’s lives, so I find that the best policy is to try to be nice at all times. If you’ve got nothing nice to say about someone, then don’t bother saying anything. And smile! Sometimes that’s all it takes to brighten someone’s day – to make them realise that they’re not invisible and they’re not alone.

However, hard work and determination resulted in me finally taking my bar examinations in September 1965. The Foreign and Commonwealth office then recruited me to go to Kenya to Africanize the legal profession. In 1970 I became Principal of the Kenya School of law and went on to publish a standard textbook on the Law of Kenya. In 1989 I was awarded the O.B.E in the New Year’s Honours List for Services to the Legal Profession and legal education in Kenya.

Tell us about your family?

I was married to my wife Marion for 61 years but sadly became a widower in 2015. I have three grown up children, (two sons and daughter), 9 grandchildren, the youngest of which is 16 and currently studying at Beverley High School, sixth form and the eldest Sarah, is head of biology at Beverley Grammer school.

What do you do in your spare time?

I have an allotment and enjoy growing fruits and vegetables. I enjoy reading the ‘Times’ and watching cricket, football and rugby league on ‘Sky” TV. I have been a Leeds United supporter since 1946, but sadly missed the ‘glory’ years, when I was living in Kenya.

How would you describe Beverley to a visitor?

A very friendly, historic town with lots to see and do. Great character pubs like ‘Nellys’ and the Micro Brewery in Swabys Yard, is well worth a visit. Saturday Market Place is the hub of the town and the weekly market is now an institution.

What do you like most about Beverley?

I think it really comes down to the people and my fellow independent shops. There always seems to be such a feeling of community. My family have had a business in Beverley for over 30 years now and the support we have been given and can give back is always amazing, so much so I feel I can call many of my customers, and local businesses, friends. I feel that’s a lovely thing to be able to say.

If you could have dinner with anyone (alive or dead) who would it be and why?

Geoff Boycott , not only because I love cricket and in particular am a ‘Yorkshire Cricket’ fan but because he became a legend in his lifetime.

What is your favourite food?

Having spent many years in Kenya, it would have to be a nice, hot and spicy prawn curry, accompanied with rice, naan bread and a chapatti or two.

When did you last go to the cinema and what did you see?

It must be 20 to 30 years since I have actually been to the cinema. I enjoy watching films at home on the TV or from my large DVD collection.

Name the best place in the world you have visited and why?

Mobmassa – it is on the edge of the Indian ocean and the sea there is blue and the temperature hot and humid. I am also a life long member of the Mombassa Club located in the arab quarter, overlooking the ocean, where you can dine on freshly caught lobster and crab and it won’t break the bank!

What is your favourite season of the year and why?

I love the late summer months because it means that I can harvest al the fruit and vegetables I have grown over the year on my allotment.

What do you love most about your job?

Serving the community and helping children, parents and senior citizens to cross the road safely.

BeverleyMag July / August 2018

Briefly explain your working day and what your job entails?

My day starts at 4am, by making dough from the sponges that were started the day before. The first breads come out of the oven for 9.30am when the bakery opens. I then combine baking and serving customers throughout the day. I also get to wash up as I work on my own.

What do you love most about your job?

I’ve always loved making things, and to get direct good feedback from customers is great. It is also lovely getting to know local customers.

Where do you see yourself in 10 year’s time?

Hopefully still enjoying baking!

Gardening Advice for July and August Bishop Burton College is proud to announce that it has been chosen as the host venue for the 2018 Federation Equestre Internationale (FEI) Pony European Championships in 2018.

Some late-flowering border perennials may benefit from a quick-acting feed before they come into bloom, especially if the soil is not very fertile.

Mulching borders can help retain moisture, and keep down the weeds - this will save a lot of work. A really thick layer of mulch (5-7.5cm/2-3in all over) works best.

Flowers Sowing and planting Autumn-flowering bulbs, such as autumn crocuses, Colchicum, Sternbergia, Amaryllis and Nerine, can be planted now.

Some seeds are best planted just after collection, and others may need specific climatic conditions to break dormancy (e.g. some alpines). If unsure, then sow seeds in ‘batches’, i.e. one immediately after collecting, one in winter, and one in the following spring.

Cutting back, pruning and dividing Cutting back plants in baskets followed by feeding can encourage new growth and help revive tired displays.

Most perennial weeds are best dealt with in the summer when the weeds are in active growth. Digging out often works, but applying a weedkiller can be more practical, particularly for large areas.

Cut back delphiniums and geraniums after the first flush of flowers to encourage a second flowering period. Feed after cutting them back.

dead-head dahlias if growing for large blooms. Leave roses that produce attractive hips.

Deadhead flower borders regularly to prolong flowering. Disbud and

Plants with a carpet-like growth habit, e.g. some alpines, can become patchy, with central areas dying off. These patches can be in-filled with gritty compost, to encourage re-growth.

Divide clumps of bearded iris.

Propagation Take cuttings of patio and container plants ready for next year.

Pinks and carnations that have become leggy, can be propagated by layering or by cuttings.

Propagation can improve the appearance of untidy clumps.

General maintenance Prop up tall perennials such as lupins, delphiniums and gladioli if staking was neglected earlier in the season.

Liquid feed containerised plants and keep well watered in dry spells.

BeverleyMag July / August 2018

Planning ahead Start collecting seed from plants you want to grow next year, especially annuals such as Calendula, poppy and love-in-amist.

Pest and disease watch Inspect lilies for the scarlet lily beetle whose larvae can strip plants in days.

Vine weevils can also be a problem at this time of year.

Small holes and tears in new foliage of ornamentals such as Caryopteris, Fuchsia and Dahlia are most likely caused by capsid bug damage.

Watch out for aphids (greeenfly and blackfly) on stems and leaves of young shoots.

Sudden collapse of apparently healthy clematis, especially the large-flowered cultivars, could indicate clematis wilt.

In dry weather powdery mildew can play havoc with plants such as clematis, roses and Lonicera.

Look out for and treat black spot on roses and scab on Pyracantha.

How To Indentify Japanese Knotweed And How To Deal With It Without Ruining Your Garden Along with “subsidence” and “damp”, there is a new utterance that is guaranteed to make any homeowner or landlord’s heart sink – “Japanese knotweed”.

Where does it come from?

Brought to the UK in the mid 19th century by explorer Philipp Franz von Siebold, who found it growing on the side of a volcano, Japanese Knotweed, or Fallopia Japonica, was so admired for its beauty that it was named the “most interesting new ornamental plant of the year” by the Society of Agriculture and Horticulture at Utrecht in Holland in 1847.

What do we know about it?

Little did we know back then, as the Royal Botanic Gardens in Edinburgh flogged the plant to nurseries, this exquisite bamboo-like plant would usurp ivy as the fast-growing scourge of gardens around the country.

What does it do?

Like ivy on steroids, Japanese Knotweed can work its way into walls, with foundation-ravaging roots which can grow up to three meters in depth and seven meters in any direction.

Naturally, this causes some problems for properties – £170million worth a year of problems to be precise – and has since been demoted from its flattering accolade from two

BeverleyMag July / August 2018

centuries ago and placed on the World Conservation Union’s “worst invasive species” list. Ouch.

How to spot it For such a persistent plant, it retires (dies back) in the winter, returning in early spring with red and purple shoots, accompanied by rolled back leaves which then grow very quickly.

By spring and summer you can expect bamboo-like shoots which grow up to 7ft tall, adorned with leaves up to 14cm in length. The leaves are large and arranged in a zig-zag pattern along the stem. By late summer you will see creamywhite flower tassels which grow up to 15cm and attract bees.

How to get rid of it This is not a job for a trowel and some weedkiller. Many gardeners accept that they’re out of their depth as the roots of this plant reaches new ones and hire a professional to rid themselves of it.

If you do decide to tackle it yourself, be sure to take on the roots and keep on top of any new ones which emerge. Not all weedkillers are created equal, so you’ll need to look for one which is glyphosate-based to make any headway.

The Environmental Protection Act of 1990 also classes Japanese Knotweed as “controlled waste”, which means you can’t just throw any remnants in your green wheelie

bin. It can either be dried out and burnt, or you can call a licensed contractor to dispose of the plant by taking it to a designated landfill site.

Top Ten Gardening Jobs for July & August 1. Check clematis for signs of clematis wilt 2. Care for houseplant while on holiday 3. Water tubs and new plants if dry, but be water-wise 4. Deadhead bedding plants and repeat-flowering perennials, to ensure continuous flowering 5. Pick courgettes before they become marrows 6. Treat apple scab 7. Clear algae, blanket weeds and debris from ponds, and keep them topped up 8. Order catalogues for next year’s spring-flowering bulbs 9. Give the lawn a quick-acting summer feed, especially if not given a spring feed 10. Harvest apricots, peaches and nectarines

A guide to gardening with children A garden is a wonderful playground for children of all ages.

There’s so much to look at like different leaf-shapes, stuff to mess around with like squidgy soil and lots to learn, like how big plants grow from tiny seeds.

Children’s gardening activities are all about learning and fun, rolled into one, and there are lots of projects you can do with them that they’ll love.

Learning all about planting If you can, set aside a garden bed, pot or container they can call their own.

Bedding plants are a great way for kids to learn all about planting and

they’re ready to pop in the ground when you buy them, so there’s not much work to do. Why not try vegetables and herbs too? They’re also available as small garden-ready plantlets.

All your child has to do is poke a hole in the soil or compost, pop the flower (vegetable or herb) in and then tamp the soil firmly around the plant. Add another few and they’ll have made their own colourful display, or little herb or veg patch, in an instant!

Bedding plants are also suitable for planting in pots, if you don’t have a big garden, or only a balcony or patio.

Learning all about soil Soil of course is what all plants depend on – and there’s so much

to learn about this interesting substance. There are lots of different types of soil – clay, sandy, silty, chalky, peat and loam. (Loam is a mixture of clay, sandy and silty elements.)

So how do you tell them apart?

Finding out can be messy fun!

You can tell a clay soil by taking a small amount and rubbing it between your palms – if it forms a ball, you’ve got clay.

If you have a sandy soil it’ll feel gritty when you rub it between your hands. A silty soil (one with finer, gritty particles of clay and sand) will feel quite silky.

A chalky soil will easily crumble between your fingers and may have bright white stones in it.

Is your soil acid or alkaline?

The other interesting thing about soil is that some is acidic and some is alkaline. Chalk, for example, is very alkaline; and sand, quite acidic.

So testing your soil to find out what you’ve got in your garden can be another fun and educational activity – especially for budding scientists.

You can buy a soil testing kit that tells you how acidic or alkaline your soil is by giving you a pH reading.

All you do is dig up a little bit of soil and pop it in – and then wait for the answer!

Why not go out into your garden with the kids and try it today?

A magical soil experiment To see how the acidity of soil effects plants, there’s an experiment you can carry out that magically changes the colour of hydrangea flowers

BeverleyMag July / August 2018

from pink to blue. All you have to do is buy some Hydrangea Colourant and apply it to the plant’s soil, as directed in the instructions. It’ll only take a short time for the flowers of the hydrangea to change their colour. The reason this happens is that a hydrangea likes a slightly acidic soil. The substance you’ve applied to it, aluminium sulphate, lowers the pH to make it even more acidic – and that makes the plant completely change its colour.

Colours and textures When you’re looking at plants, compare the wonderful variety of colours, shapes, sizes and textures.

The smooth leaf of a geranium feels and looks really different to the slightly furry leaves of a salvia. If you go for a walk in the park, compare the bark of different trees and the different colours of berries on bushes and shrubs.

What’s in a name?

Lots of plants have fun or interesting names so encourage kids to think about how these got their name?

• poached egg plants (Limnanthes douglasii) • lamb’s ear (Stachys byzantina) • butterfly bush (Buddleja) • chocolate cosmos (Cosmos atrosanguineus) • balloon flowers (Platycodon grandiflorus) • dog’s tooth violet (Erythronium dens-canis) • bird of paradise (Strelitzia reginae) Older kids could even use these names to give their garden a theme.

The Last Word

FIONA’S FOOD FOR THOUGHT

By Fiona Dwyer, broadcast journalist, PR & media consultant, slave to 2 children and a husband.

DON’T SPEND A FORTUNE THIS SUMMER

It’s always so difficult during the 6-week break to know what to do with the children, especially because everything seems to cost a fortune! Well, fear not! Martin Lewis’s money saving website moneysavingexpert. com has a fantastic list of over 100 things to do over the summer holidays that won’t break the bank. Just search for ‘School holiday deals.’ From ‘kids eat free’, 2 for 1 offers on regional attractions, free museums and cheap travel to picking your own fruit, camping in the garden and cheap cinema tickets. There’s loads of great ideas just waiting for us! I’m going to get my 6-week chart out and start planning! And don’t forget to fill your cooler with snacks and drinks at the beginning of summer and keep it in your car, so you’ve always got emergency supplies in case you’re stuck in a traffic jam or get delayed some other way. Whatever you do, have a great time and stay safe!

HOTTEST SUMMER IN 40 YEARS Well, that’s what the forecasters say and, at the time of writing, we’ve had absolutely scorching weather, so I think they might be spot on. It’s been glorious! Saying that, don’t forget to use your sunscreen. I burn just at the sight of sunshine so I have my Factor 50 on hand. I’m also walking around with a water bottle to keep hydrated and covering up as much as possible. The only thing I haven’t got is a widebrimmed hat to go with my sunglasses. Time to go shopping, methinks!

COOL DOWN WITH HOME-MADE LEMONADE This is a great recipe for home-made lemonade which is brilliant for cooling down in the summer heat. It’s one I found online – and if you want a more adult drink, just add some gin!!

All you need is 100g/3½ oz sugar, the juice of 4 lemons, ice and about 1 litre/15¼fl oz sparkling mineral water. Put the sugar and lemon juice in a jug, add some ice and top up with the water. Stir it all up together – and enjoy!

Have a great summer!
