FromEDITOR the Welcome to Look Local in March!

British Summer Time is just around the corner, which means the clocks are on the verge of springing forward. We can expect longer, brighter evenings and hopefully we can save some money on the heating bills, as well as see a whole variety of spring bulbs peeping through the soil.

However, in exchange for less darkness, we are handed one less hour in bed on a Saturday night.

British Summer Time starts on Sunday March 26 2017 at 1.00am. It also coincides with Mothers’ Day, so a longer day to spoil your mum too!

Crowdfunder Campaign

TEAM

PARACHEER

Local lady Wendy Pinney has been selected to be part of Team England ParaCheer, representing England at the ICU World Cheerleading Championships in Orlando this April.

10 Looklocal Magazine - March 2017

S

he is currently fundraising for a new wheelchair and the entry fees for the competition, as everything has to be completely self-funded and the NHS have decided that she is not eligible for a sports chair from them, which is a real pity.

All her life, Wendy has danced and taught others to dance. When she went to university, she discovered cheerleading too. She loved the sport instantly and worked hard to start the first competitive university cheerleading team in the UK. They went from strength to strength, winning multiple national titles. She coached her own team, but also travelled the country and the world, guest coaching other teams and training new coaches. Wendy worked with multiple international cheerleading competition & event companies, ranging from behind-the-scenes planning to setting up and running the UK’s first ever university cheerleading competition. She was also an internationally accredited judge.

Unfortunately, she has a disability called Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy which causes constant pain in her feet and legs, and in 2009, she had to admit that she could no longer stand well enough to continue cheerleading. It must have been truly heartbreaking for her. This is why she is so thrilled to be part of the first ever competitive paracheer division and so proud to be

representing England. What a fantastic achievement.

Unfortunately, the NHS does not recognise cheerleading as needing an ‘active user’ wheelchair, and the standard chair they have provided for her is not at all suitable.

Therefore, not only does she have to find the money to travel to the World Championships and pay for the competition entry fees (they receive no funding from anyone, everything has to be paid for by the athletes), but she will also have to buy a new wheelchair. Sports chairs generally cost £2500+ for even the most basic model; luckily, Wendy has found a secondhand one that might be suitable, but even that will cost £1500.

She works currently at 2 part time jobs, as well as being a mum to her 2 small children. It is proving very hard to raise the money for this active user wheelchair, so maybe we can help her ?

Wendy has started a crowdfunder campaign with the hope that she can raise the money for her chair. Details can be found at

http://www.crowdfunder.co.uk/wheelsforwendy

Please follow our lead and send Wendy a little donation to help her on her way!

We’d love to hear how you get on at the World Championships in Orlando, Wendy. Please keep us posted and good luck with the fundraising too!

recipe Home-made carrot, coconut & lime soup with fresh coriander Serves 4 I found this recipe while rummaging through the Neal’s Yard Healing Foods cook book and it is amazing! Lots of great things about it: carrot and coconut enhance our digestive system, soothe inflammation and protect against premature ageing and degenerative diseases. Carrots are a traditional recipe for acne and rheumatism, while coconuts promote a healthy complexion and glossy hair, and support the health of the immune system. But forgetting all that, just enjoy this delicious soup.

INGREDIENTS:

1 tbsp coconut oil 3 shallots, finely chopped 250g carrots, chopped 2 cloves garlic, crushed 900mls coconut water Juice and zest of ½ lime Salt and freshly ground black pepper 4 tsp coconut milk A small handful of chopped coriander leaves to garnish

METHOD:

1. Heat the coconut oil in a saucepan over a medium heat, add the shallots and cook until translucent. Add 3 tablespoons of water and the carrots and sweat for 2-3 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 15 more minutes, covered, or until the carrots are soft.

2. Pour the contents of the saucepan into a blender or food processor, add half the coconut water, and whizz.

Return the blended soup to the pan.

3. Heat the soup through gently (there is no need to bring it to the boil). Add the lime juice and zest, season with salt and black pepper to taste and divide between 4 serving bowls.

4. Swirl a teaspoon of the coconut milk into each portion and garnish with the chopped coriander leaves.

ASK BRUCE:

PUPPY PADS...

Reader Lucy Miles is collecting her new puppy soon and asks: are puppy pads a good idea for house training puppies? In short, yes, they are a useful training tool, but they shouldn’t be used too much or for too long.

Puppy pads are specially scented pads designed to encourage dogs to relieve themselves on the pad rather than the floor, and being highly absorbent, they keep mess and odours to a minimum. Good news in the first days of a puppy’s life in its new home!

However, while it’s important to teach your puppy to use the pad in the house, it’s more important and natural that it learns to go to the loo outside. This should always be your long-term aim.

Start by using the pads in the house but near the door, and reward your puppy when it uses it. Once it understands what’s required, as soon as you see it heading for the pad or circling to go to the toilet the next time, take the pup outside immediately. Once it’s done its business outside, praise and reward hugely. Make it seem like this is the best thing ever and the message will soon get through!

Continue the process until your puppy is heading for the door with no need for the pad. Remember to stay vigilant for the signs so that no opportunity is missed and accidents don’t occur.

Within weeks, you should have a fully house-trained puppy and no need for puppy pads. Like nappies, their job is now done and it’s time to move on.

Tecres - Computer Tips

Goodbye, Vista . .

This guide about backing up our computers was written by Les Beer from Tecres in Leatherhead, which has been providing computer solutions since 1989.

If you have a Windows Vista machine, 11 April 2017 will have significance to you, as from this date onwards, your Vista installation will be unsupported.

But what does this really mean?

Your PC will continue to work, but you will not receive any updates from Microsoft. Superficially, you may think this doesn’t present a problem, but this is a naive way to think if you use the internet.

The probability is you use your machine for online banking, shopping and/or social media such as Facebook. As they see your machine as not up-to-date and unsecured, you represent a breech to their security and they will stop you accessing their services.

Many browsers such as Internet Explorer & Google Chrome have stopped supporting Vista. There are non-mainstream browsers that will work, but all you are doing is delaying the inevitable of having to replace the machine.

We can copy all your data and settings from your machine to a new one and offer advice as to what you need to be looking for in a new machine.

Fake warnings‌.

Rather than the usual Microsoft scam where someone phones you up and claims to be from Microsoft, you get a pop on your screen usually when on the internet, claiming to be from them. We have seen a variety of different text options, sometimes claiming they have found a problem with your machine, stating you have a virus infestation that is now affecting others, or anonymous and suspicious activity is coming from your machine. They proceed to provide you with a phone number, saying it is for Microsoft and asking you to call them as soon as possible so that they can fix the problem for you. If you get this pop-up on your screen, we highly advise that you DO NOT call this company: it is not Microsoft attempting to contact you about a fault. This is a scam.

We have experienced this problem on both PCs and Macs. The probability is that you do have some malware on your machine and it could be doing all sorts of harm, so it does need to be sorted out.

For further information, please contact us.

Gardening Matters

Gardening Season Well, here’s March already and it’s officially now The Gardening Season. Pruning tasks predominate, hooray, so arm yourself with a sharp pair of secateurs. There are 4 good reasons to prune: firstly, to create an open centre so that air can circulate; secondly, to remove unnecessary parts so that growth is stimulated; next, to control the quantity of fruit/flower; and finally, to remove dead/diseased/damaged material.

I

f in doubt, the golden rule is prune immediately after flowering. Cut back to an outward facing leaf bud (or potential bud swelling) to avoid branches crossing in the centre. Make it a clean cut with no jagged edges as close as possible to the bud without nicking it with the secateurs. Slant the cut downwards so that moisture drains away from it. To thin a shrub, take out 1 in 3 of the branches altogether. If you cut the side branches, you’ll encourage it to grow taller, and cutting the tops off branches will make it bushier.

So, plants to prune now include roses, winter-flowering clematis, viburnum, daphne, skimmia, some irises, heathers and hellebores, and gooseberry and currant bushes. Winter jasmine can be tidied too. Personally, I hate yellow, so as far as I’m concerned, you can butcher it, but I know many people

like the splash of colour it provides in bleak old winter.

Prune fuchsias to where new shoots are evident at ground level and tidy up bush fuchsias. Pinch out straggly shoots of pinks and shear the tops if they’re too woody/leggy. Cut back deciduous shrubs such as lavatera and buddleia to a growth point 6-9 inches from the ground, and cornus to 3 inches. This seemingly harsh pruning maintains shape, vigour and health, and with cornus, the colour.

Some shrubs become so overgrown, old and downright ugly that they too need a hard prune to 6 inches. You’ll miss out on 1 or 2 years’ flowering but may save a shrub otherwise doomed for the bonfire. Beech, laurel, privet and rhododendron all respond well to hard pruning, but afterwards, the plant will be in shock, so hoe in Growmore or pelleted poultry manure and

water well. Feed rhododendrons with ericaceous feed. Avoid cutting plants such as lavender/santolina/rosemary right down into the brown woody part because they’ll die. Cut down by all means, but to a green growth point.

OK, pruning lecture over. Other tasks for March? Well, you could prepare seed beds, feeding with Growmore whilst doing so. Plant summer flowering bulbs, such as nerines, agapanthus and freesias, making sure you plant them shallow. In contrast, gladioli need to be planted 2½ times as deep as the bulb is tall. Gladdies dislike damp (we’re so alike), so add compost and 1 inch of grit/sharp sand for drainage and sit the bulb on top.

Finally, plant out onion sets. By now, your spring bulbs should be exploding into colour, so sit back and delight in the fruits of your hard autumn graft – and pat yourself on the back.

Tai Chi for Charity

A very relaxing fundraiser Start your weekend with meditation in motion at a Tai Chi fundraiser on Saturday 25th March at Stoke D’Abernon Village Hall.

L

iz Kendall will be introducing Yang Family Style 13-Movement 5-Element Tai Chi QiGong in a two hour workshop, in exchange for donations to Woking and Sam Beare Hospices.

Liz started learning Tai Chi and QiGong alongside Taoist meditation in 2006, and qualified to teach in 2016. Tai Chi is a series of flowing movements with slow steps, keeping the spine upright. There are many different forms and traditions. Each movement has a martial arts application, giving meaning and purpose to every gesture. Liz loves the experience of continual progress and improvement it offers, and says “Tai Chi is a life-long companion; we can aim for perfection while enjoying where we are”.

Tai Chi has many proven health benefits, with studies from Harvard and Reuters demonstrating a wide range of positive results. The effects of Tai Chi range from improving flexibility, posture and balance to lowering high blood pressure and reducing stress. Liz says “Tai Chi teaches us a graceful efficiency of movement, fine-tuning our physical awareness and responses. I often do Tai Chi to prepare for giving Shiatsu and massage. It’s an energising start to the day.”

For the past eight years, Liz has held an annual Shiatsuthon, giving Shiatsu treatments in exchange for donations to charity. After Tai Chi teacher training, she saw a good opportunity for another fundraiser to bring people together in a shared experience. “It’s a chance to try something new, whether it’s your first time doing Tai Chi or you’ve been practising a different form for years. I hope that people will leave feeling strong, balanced and calm after Tai Chi, and happy that they have helped our community hospices.”

Currently, Woking and Sam Beare Hospices are building a new hospice in Goldsworth Park. This will expand and improve their ability to help people with terminal

and chronic illness and to provide respite care for their families. There are many ways to support their work, whether by volunteering, fundraising or attending one of the many events on offer.

The Tai Chi for Charity workshop will be held from 10am until 12 noon on Saturday 25th March at Stoke D’Abernon Village Hall on Station Road, KT11 3BN. Tai Chi is suitable for most people, and Liz will start the workshop with an energising warm-up and chi selfmassage to make sure everyone is feeling fit and ready to explore the movements.

Advance booking is essential so to reserve your place Please contact Liz on 07944 872332 or liz@surrey-shiatsu.co.uk.

Liz is a member of the Tai Chi Union of Great Britain and is insured.

Weekly Village Market

Hersham Village Market The market is held every Friday at Hersham Village Hall, next to the day centre, off Queens Road, Hersham KT12 5LT, from 10.30 - 12 noon.

M

any people do not know that Hersham has its own weekly market which has evolved over the last thirty years, initially under the umbrella of the Women’s Institute Market.

A few years ago, due to Charity Commissioners’ rules, we were forced to split from the W.I. and the organisation became known as Country Markets Limited - we were ‘Elmbridge Country Market’. In 2008, we agreed to become independent, and, as we wished to promote the name of ‘Hersham’, we decided to trade under the name of

Mole Valley Meeting Report We celebrated our 52nd birthday with wine and homemade cakes.

As it was Valentine’s Day, our tables were decorated with hearts, and the flowers on the President’s table were various shades of red.

P

aul Weekley, who had bravely left his sick bed, provided the entertainment. He sang many songs from the shows and we had to identify the TV ad which had used an original song sung by Sammy Davis Jnr. in the early 60s. Paul has had a very interesting life, and acting and singing has taken him all over the world.

The draw was made for our Denman Bursary and one lucky member will be making her way to the WI’s

own college in Oxfordshire. There will be two other opportunities to win a bursary at the SFWI annual meeting and our group meeting, both in March.

We have a variety of activities going on during the week to suit all ages, tastes and talents.

If you would like to know more about us, please visit our web site www.molevalleywi.btck.co.uk or come along to our meeting on Tuesday 14th March 7.30 for 7.45. Our speaker will be an auctioneer from Ewbanks.

March Car Review

Skoda Kodiaq

Ted Macauley test drives the Skoda Kodiaq 2.0 TDI and lets us know what it has to offer....

L

et me start at what is usually off-puttingly the postscript in the last line or thereabouts in a new car review : £28,245.

That is far from what you would expect to fork out for a big shot, four-wheel drive humdinger of a bargain buy. But yes, your eyes are not deceiving you. That is the asking price for the Skoda Kodiaq, the company’s first seven-seater, a long-awaited and welcome challenger to the pricier rivals in the fast-accelerating SUV market.

The Skoda, once a make to be avoided at all costs, a cheapskate, sniggeredat brand you would be reluctant to admit you owned, has, under Volkswagen’s take-over steerage, zoomed in as a desirable front runner and has underpinned its reputation and rescued the Skoda name even further with the Kodiaq.

So much so that it clinched a Car of the Year accolade as the Best Large

SUV in What Car? And to my mind, utterly and thoroughly deservedly.

The Kodiaq – named after the largest known big bear – was also blessed with the award of ‘Best Family Car in the World’ in Top Gear magazine, and I would bet the honours won’t stop there.

I am told the design aces and engineering geniuses took notice of customer needs and desires, got their heads together and brainwaved the newcomer as the already-in-place Yeti’s bigger, sturdier, posher, big brother. And now the worries must be piling up on the opposition 4x4 likes of Kia, Mazda, Ford and Land Rover, with their costlier products that do not really out-equip or out-perform this worthy Skoda frontrunner.

All the required and desired information goodies, dials and buttons are neatly and handily stacked in unfussy style, and it is a comfort-zone on the move, with an off-road agility, excellent adaptive suspension system and capability that

cope without discomforting its seven occupants in its classy cabin.

This is a real range-topper, and the cheaper Kodiaqs make even more sense as a treat to your bank balance.

Okay, I know that the third row of seats may not be as accommodating as some of the rivals, but they are still plenty adequate for the teens or toddlers joining Mum, Dad, Grandpa and Grandma for seaside outings.

The ongoing advance of the Skoda brand under VW’s expertise is a complete reversal of its historic nothank-you reputation, and last year, more than 1.13million of its cars were eagerly bought in 102 countries.

When the Kodiaq word gets around off the back of its excellence, I guarantee that those numbers will take an upturn, leaving the company’s money men as chuffed as the customers who will be revelling in their value-for-money transport.

Specification: my choice: 2.0 TDI 150 4x4. MPG 52.3. Top speed 130mph 0-60 in 9 secs. Price £28.245.

MATTERS

Words by David Kid Jensen

my current on-air adventures

For those listeners who’ve been curious about my current on-air adventures, I’m now plying my trade with a fresh new radio station called My Music Radio, which is part of the Eagle family of radio stations.

My pal Pat Sharp and I began our individual weekend shows when My Music Radio first went into action in November last year.

The radio station specialises in the 70s (and more) and has already become one of the brightest and most energetic shows on the radio.

I feel like a born-again broadcaster, with a smart bunch of radio lovers and ‘desk jockeys’ supporting our endeavours.

If you haven’t yet discovered our terrific My Music Radio Live Hour, join us each weekday evening at 8, when we play 60 minutes of classic live performances from a different artist or band, such as Queen, David Bowie, Abba, Diana Ross and many more.

Don’t miss it.

Other specialist shows include the My Music Radio Saturday Night Party and our Jazz, Big Band and Swing show.

If you miss any of our programmes or just simply want to listen again, you can do so by visiting the On Demand section of our free mobile app or by visiting mymusicradio.co.uk You’ll find me and my new show on Saturday and Sunday mornings from 10, and Pat takes over from me on both days from 2pm.

I look forward to your company soon.

Bookham LibraryNEWS Many people experience memory problems in their lives, particularly in their later years...

Surrey Libraries are keen to support wellbeing throughout life, and as such, we have a rich resource called ‘The Reminiscence Collection’. It is a huge range of materials to stimulate memories and conversation. These include picture cards, posters, CDs and films, boxes of items evocative of different eras and even a collection of smell bottles: lemon juice, lily of the valley, marzipan, new cut grass, pear drops, rose, the dentist, apple, Blackpool Rock, carnation, Germolene, hyacinth, Lavender, leather.

The reminiscence collection is designed to be used by individuals and healthcare professionals caring for and supporting people with dementia, memory impairment or loss. Often, dementia impairs shortterm memory, but earlier memories are intact and returning to them can increase happiness and wellbeing. The items can be ordered into your local library by anyone you don’t have to be a professional.

Type ‘Surrey Reminiscence’ into Google to see the full catalogue of items, or pop into Bookham Library for a chat about it.

More to explore in your local library!

REMINDER: Opening hours have changed at Bookham Library. It will be closing for lunch between 1pm & 2pm.

OPENING HOURS: MON, TUES, THURS & FRI 10am - 1.00pm & 2pm - 5.00pm

The Ember Players

PHOTO BY: RAY MORRIS

‘ Run for your Wife ‘

Heard the one about the bigamist taxi driver concussed while saving an old lady from a mugging, only to find himself hounded by the police as he struggles to keep his tangled love life secret from two glamorous wives who are later mistaken for a nun and a transvestite?

It could only happen in a good old British farc, and The Ember Players are taking a rare step into the genre with their spring production of Ray Cooney`s Run For Your Wife at the Cecil Hepworth Playhouse, Waltonon-Thames from April 27th - 29th. A rare venture perhaps, because farce is arguably the toughest and most disciplined form of stage entertainment.

The late Jimmy Perry, creator of Dad`s Army and Hi De Hi, once said ‘The art of good farce is `reality`.’ He meant that actors should play their characters as if they believe everything they do is completely logical.

Once performers have imbued their audience with that suspension of disbelief, they can push the boundaries and allow those characters to do things most rational human beings wouldn`t do in a million years - but they just MIGHT. Get that right, and you will earn your laughs.

54 Looklocal Magazine - March 2017

The Ember Players are in experienced hands. Director Steve Clunn has been active in Elmbridge theatre for the past 30 years. His productions have been wide-ranging, ambitious and often quite brave. They include Willy Russell`s Blood Brothers, Timberlake Wertenbaker`s Our Country`s Good, Joe Orton`s What the Butler Saw and most recently, the classic British comedy The Ladykillers.

‘Underestimate farce at your peril,’ he says. ‘There`s nothing lowbrow or trite about it – it`s highly disciplined and highly technical. Done with the right style, flair and precision timing, it`s as valid as any `legit` theatre. My cast is well up to the task – many of the team have won awards for their work in local theatre in the past.’

If last week`s Ember Players` rehearsal was anything to go by, their audiences are in for a treat. Why not have a great night out (and a good laugh) by supporting one of Surrey`s top amateur theatre companies at your own Walton Playhouse?

With tickets at only £13, your wallet might manage a smile as well - or does that take suspension of disbelief a step too far…? Box office: 07752 655 087 www.ticketsource.co.uk/emberplayers

TRANSITIONBOOKHAM Working to make our village more planet-friendly Vegetable shortages and rationing made the headlines last month as bad weather in southern Europe affected crops. It was a timely reminder of the importance of food security: an estimate suggested that Britain imports around 50% of its vegetables and about 90% of its fruit.

Growing your own is a popular Transition theme and many groups have started a community garden – our nearest is in Cobham. At home even on a small patch

there are a number of crops that can be grown in tubs and other containers, or a sunny windowsill could be home to a few herbs.

We have a guest speaker at our open meeting on Wednesday March 15th when National Trust ranger Ian Swinney will be joining us. See our website and local noticeboards for details. Also this month is the St Nicolas Fairtrade coffee morning on Saturday March 11th in the Pastoral Centre.
