Boxing for Britain Jade Ashmore

Words: Simon Paterson Images: Jade Ashmore

I

was going to start this interview by telling you how good Jade Ashmore is at boxing, but rather than do that I decided to publish her very long list of achievements, just so we are absolutely clear!

Junior National Champion 54kg Youth British Champion 54kg Youth European bronze medal 54kg Derbyshire Challenge belt 51kg Senior National silver medal 51kg Senior English Title Belt holder 51kg East Midlands title belt Holder 51kg Senior British championships silver medal 51kg Having boxed (badly) for a good few years I was eager to catch up with Jade and find out what it takes to box at an elite level!

Simon: How did you get into boxing, and how old were you when you started?

Jade: So, before I started boxing, I did martial arts at Grassmoor Community Centre. We then moved to a new house and my next-door neighbour went boxing. My brother got bullied a bit at school, so we decided to give boxing a go.

Me, my little sister and brother started together at Pro Fitness in Clay Cross. I did about six months down there then went to Robbie’s gym (Spire Boxing Academy). I was twelve when I started.

Simon: I boxed at Spire Boxing Academy for a few years. Robbie is a great guy and it wouldn’t surprise me if he won our local hero award in the future. How old were you when you had your first fight?

Jade: I had my first competitive bout when I was 15. I had a few fights and won my first national title before turning 16!

Page 6

Simon: Wow, that’s impressive! What was your next move?

Jade: Thanks, I did a lot of boxing at Ozbox which was set up by the police and was free!

After a couple more fights I went on to do an Apprenticeship at Bradford College. I had to commute there everyday and come back, without a car! I did all my college work and trained with the coach at break times! At night I boxed at Chesterfield ABC as I couldn’t make it back in time for sessions at Ozbox. ABC really turned me into a boxer, and I came on loads technically.

Simon: Well, no-one can question your commitment to the sport. I believe you went on to represent your country not long after this?

Jade: I did, I got the call up to represent England not too long after my apprenticeship.

My first fight was a duel; England Vs France at the Institute of Sport in Sheffield. I was the only female on the show and many of the males went on to box in the Olympics a couple of years later!

Simon: Have you had the pleasure of travelling to other countries with your boxing?

Jade: I have, yes, in the Europeans. I had three fights over three days and came away with the bronze medal. It was held in Hungary and was fully funded, I just needed to get myself to the airport and take a bit of spendo! It’s cool ‘cos you get to see the country as well whilst you are there. I was still a youth boxer at this point.

Females aren’t classed as senior boxers until they are 19.

Simon: I’ve never been to Hungary, but it’s on the list. How are you doing as a senior boxer now?

www.s41local.com

Jade: It was tough to get selected once I turned senior because we have some world class boxers such as world silver medallist Lisa Whiteside. After a lot of nagging, they put me in the squad, there was only three places!

I did well and went on to box Lisa. I went all four rounds and put up a really good fight.

Lisa had previously won a gold medal at the Commonwealth Games, so I was dead proud of myself.

Simon: Going the distance with a boxer of that calibre is a huge achievement, rather you than me!

Jade: Off the back of that performance I got the call up for team GB! Simon: Nice one, Jade. How did it feel when you took the call?

Jade: There’s no feeling better in the world, being asked to represent your own country, amazing, I was on top of the world. My family were over the moon.

Simon: Who’s the most famous boxer you have ever met?

Jade: Anthony Joshua was on camp most weeks! Tony Bellew who was in the movie Creed. Tyson Fury and his dad haha!

Simon: Which characteristics are essential if you are to make it as a fighter?

Jade: Confidence is a big one. You must always display confidence to your opponent and have the belief you can win. Fitness, if you think you haven’t trained hard enough then you probably haven’t. Survival of the fittest. Passion for the sport, you must enjoy it, other wise you won’t be committed.

Simon: What is your go to cheat meal and where would you go in town to have eat it?

Jade: I love pasta, Italian food. I’d have to go to Lambarelli’s on Chatsworth Road. Proper little Italian that.

Simon: So, what’s next for Jade Ashmore?

Jade: I’m a fully qualified personal trainer and teach various boxing classes. In fact, your cousin Becky has just started having some sessions with me! I am looking to turn pro and hopefully have a great career, representing my hometown (Chesterfield) on the big stage!

Simon: I wish you every success with your career, and you will be my first port of call when I decide to get back in shape.

Jade is available for one to one and group sessions, catering for all age’s and abilities. For more information call her on:

Business intro

Harold Lilleker & Sons Serving the community for three generations Wherever we go we always seem to bump into Harold Lilleker & Sons. Now, it’s not that we attend a lot of funerals (thankfully), it’s the fact that both S41 and Harold Lilleker & Son’s know the importance of being part of a local community and therefore support as many local events as possible.

The Dawn Rose is Chesterfield’s only canal boat in existence, hand built by local volunteers in 2015.

The Dawn Rose was recently pulled along (towed) by a horse called Charlie who was made famous on Country File! Harold Lilleker & Sons are proud sponsors of the Dawn Rose providing them with much needed hi-vis jackets, Drew had this to say:

Based in Hasland, at the helm of Harold Lilleker & Sons is Drew Lilleker. Drew is the third generation of Lilleker’s to run the family business and he does this with not only great success, but compassion and empathy as well. Harold Lilleker & Sons provide a truly tailored service including a wide range of vehicles available such as a Model T Ford, a World War 2 Jeep hearse, a Vintage Tractor Hearse, Motorcycle Hearses and Horsedrawn Funerals. With a private chapel of rest and a second one under development, a 24-hour service there’s a package to suit every budget.

We have a soft spot for horses at Harold Lilleker & Sons after conducting so many horse drawn funerals. The Dawn Rose is a fully working example of a narrow boat that would have been used on the Chesterfield Canal shaping our town. Powered by sail or horsepower they need donations to keep this working history alive. I love that children get to see it in person and not just on a computer screen. Many thanks to LGS design for the wonderful artwork and printing.

Environment What's On

Let's make the change Small changes, big impact!

Words & images: Nathan Hamer

I

am writing this article around six weeks after I attended the ‘Extinction Rebellion’ protest down in London. It is also the day after our government have declared an environment and climate emergency. But what does that mean for us?

The UK are the first country in the world to formally declare the climate epidemic we are facing as an emergency – So we get bragging rights with that! It means that we would stop burning fossil fuels and stop investment in overseas projects that do so.

Which to me is a no brainer, being as though there are already alternatives out there. Much cooler ones as well. For example, ‘hydro-dams’ and ‘solar farms’ sound way more exciting than ‘power stations’, they also don’t destroy our eco-system!

We could see an acceleration in the transition from petrol and diesel cars to electric. Again, a no brainer, especially when you see the new Audi e-Tron! Lastly for the UK to become carbon neutral by 2050 (an update to 2030 is currently being pushed). Being carbon neutral doesn’t mean we don’t emit any pollution, just that we offset it by using more renewable energy, planting more trees and recycling more. At this point in time these are the only things I can see the government have stated, but hopefully when this is published, we’ll all have a clear idea of the direction we’ll be heading over the next ten years.

Ten years is a long way away though, so what can you be doing in the meantime? Here’s my ten top tips on how you and your family can become more

Page 18

environmentally friendly. Hypothetically speaking that’s one a year, something I’m sure you’re capable of!

Walk more – Well not just walk, cycle, skateboard, rollerblade, use public transport, anything that reduces the amount of time you spend in your car.

Which not only lowers pollution levels but improves your health and wellbeing.

Borrow things – One of the most effective ways you can reduce waste is to stop buying things you don’t really need. For instance, I’m sure we’ve all bought a new drill or lawnmower we’re only going to use a handful of times a year. What we could do instead is nip next door and ask your neighbour.

It’s reducing your waste and getting you into conversation with your neighbour. As a community focused magazine, something that we’re never going to miss an opportunity to promote.

Invest in reusables and ‘dispose with disposables’ – Now I don’t mean to go on a rant about ‘The good old days’ here; mainly because I wasn’t born until 2000. However previous generations didn’t dream of using single-use razors, knives, forks, cups, bags, food packaging, just to name a few of the many things we use for five minutes and throw away to decompose over the next 50 years. So why are they so prominent in our lives’? Switching to reusable or recyclable alternatives wherever possible will have a huge impact on the amount of toxins you are putting out there.

www.s41local.com

Properly recycle – To be honest as a teenager I haven’t got a clue how to properly recycle, but I’m faithful my Grandma does a good job (so big shout out to Neen). If like me you’re unsure then visit Chesterfield borough council’s website or ask a neighbour.

Conserve energy and water – Although I’m not sure on how to properly recycle, surprisingly I have a few tips for this one! Albeit simple stuff like not leaving the tap running whilst you brush your teeth and turning the lights of when you’re not in the room. Like my grandad used to say, “We don’t live in a lighthouse”. The famous “Were you born in a barn?” saying also comes into play, as making sure your house is properly insulated can save you masses of energy and money. One of the best things you can do is to ring your energy provider to schedule an ‘energy audit’ to see where your power is being wasted. Most companies will do this for free or very cheaply.

Support local businesses – Just like promoting talking to your neighbour and increasing community spirit, we never miss a chance to encourage you to support your local businesses!

If you do this wherever possible you are hugely decreasing the miles your products have travelled.

For instance, most of our meals have travelled 1500 miles before they end up on our plates.

So instead nip into town and see Ibbertsons for your fruit and veg or go down to the northern tea merchants in Brampton rather than buying PG tips.

Eat a vegetarian meal where possible – “the enemy of ignorance is experience”; a great quote for any topic. This time it applies to how nice veggie meals are! Up until a few weeks back 90% of my meals consisted of some form of meat. But after learning that a piece of lamb on your plate is part of a process that emits as much carbon as 91

miles in a car, (sounds crazy I know!) I decided to do my best to be vegetarian for five days a week, and only eat meat on weekends. And it’s going well, Either scrambled egg on toast or granola and yogurt with some fruit for breakfast. Then a cheese or some other veggi sandwich or wrap for lunch.

And a veggi lasagne or Quorn mince pie for tea.

Just to name a few examples. Through doing this I’ve also managed to shed a few pounds in time for Zante this Summer as well, bonus!

Educate the people around you - Whether it’s getting your loved ones to have a read of this, relaying the message, or telling them what you already know; the only way we can progress as a society is to be both students and teachers. So be open to new ideas and never miss an opportunity to educate another – Nathan’s life tip #109!

Think Twice before shopping (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle) – Similar to borrowing stuff, make the most of what you’ve already got, it will lead you to save money and throw away less. And when you do have to throw it away, take the extra 10 seconds to put it in the right bin. You won’t get a medal, but it all adds up.

Choose environmentally conscious companies – I know that if I get a takeout from The Society of Coffee Shop and Bar that the cup and lid is biodegradable! If I order a takeaway from Hakasan, I know it will come in a container that is NOT made of plastic.

Ghandi said “be the change you want to see in the world” and he was a pretty wise, dude!

Artist Food

Peak eats!

An autumn adventure Words: Jennie Sim Images: Jennie Sim

W

ith autumn upon us it’s time to put the flip flops away and dig out the wellies and all-weather footwear, for me Autumn is a time for great family adventures, and I look forward to seeing the changing colours of the countryside.

The perfect family day is taking a vote on where to go and then we know where we will be eating afterwards!

Some of our top adventure places and favourite food spots I thought I would share.

Mam Tor also known as the shivering mountain is four miles east of Chapelen-le-Frith (A6) and just west of Castleton (A6187). We usually allow roughly three hours to complete the steep ascent up parking near the top of Winnats Pass and then very slow descent down as it can be quite slippy at times. The children love watching the hang-gliders and paragliders with them copying racing around at the top being blown away by the winds which FYI can be quite strong!

With rosy cheeks and hungry bellies, we then head to Ye Olde Nags Head (1 Cross Street, Castleton, S33 8WH) where you are guaranteed a fantastic home cooked meal. I am still yet to eat off the main menu as the specials always tempt me, their vegan cottage pie was incredible. My husband always has their pie of the day and

Page 22

is never disappointed. I have taken friends there and they have indulged in their cream tea’s, which are equally as fantastic as the rest of their grub!

Three Shires Head could be argued as one of the most attractive places in the peak district and easily enjoyable all year round, the walk starting point is four miles south-west of Buxton on the A54. The River Dane provides the fun as it flows under a packhorse bridge (poo sticks at the ready!) and over a waterfall…. Who doesn’t love a waterfall? Walking time is only two hours, but we can spend four hours easily here paddling, relaxing and looking for treasure! After heavy rainfall the river can become harder to cross so bear that in mind.

Toes dried we head off in the car to The Knights Table which is roughly a ten-minute journey but long enough when you are all hungry from an adventure in the fresh air. The knights Table is an amazing knights themed travellers rest relating to the legend of Sir Gawain and the Green Knights. If the sun is out it’s a shame not to take some time on the beautiful patio area and admire the views over the Peaks.

The Sunday dinner is a favourite amongst our family but make sure you book so as not to be disappointed! If they have the Baileys Cheesecake, then get in fast before the rest of the tables do!

www.s41local.com

Longshaw Estate is definitely a good few hours of fun, reached by the B6051 through Owlers Bar it’s a National Trust property free to enter and they often put on additional free activities for the children – winner! You walk around the grounds heading to the lake.

On route there is a vast forest area with natural obstacles for climbing, hiding and of course exploring. Wellies are a must especially as we get closer to the wetter months – many a welly has been left behind and then retrieved by a child in one muddy sock. There is a tea-room on site if you fancy a cuppa and snack, for

those out of energy after an extensive game of hide and seek I recommend you head to The Scotsman’s Pack Country Inn Hathersage, less than ten minutes away via the A6187. Sunday lunches are fantastic but do book prior to your visit as they get booked up well in advance, any other day you are spoiled for choice with the main menu.

Bubble and Squeak terrine for me with a roasted chicory salad on the side!

Worth mentioning that their Bakewell pudding has won a Great Taste award!

The specials change weekly so if you were to visit more than once in a month no one could blame you!

John King This Edition's Cover by West Studios Tenant, John King Words: Annie French Images: John King (Photography by Defeye Creative)

F

or anyone who has visited West Studios in Chesterfield, you will have noticed the large portrait in the entrance, you really cannot miss it. It’s a portrait of John King, painted by his son the artist John King in the 2014.

I first met John in 2009, when as a mature student I enrolled onto the Foundation Art and Design course at Chesterfield College. John taught painting and life drawing classes, so it is a great pleasure for me to have this opportunity to interview John and talk about his artwork, how artists have to juggle to make a living and the importance of life drawing classes for all artists.

AF: John, did you always want to do a portrait of your Dad? JK: The painting of my Dad was going to be one of a set of six, the title for them was going to be Big Heads. They were going to be paintings of people who had figured as important and somehow, they found a switch that had changed something in our lives or theirs. My Dad was an obvious one because he was such a selfless, deeply loving parent, I thought it was appropriate for him to be the first one. He was becoming much older because of his pneumoconiosis, ‘Pit Disease’. He was becoming very frail, I had to start painting.

AF: Did your Dad sit for that?

JK: He sat for some photographs, I worked from one primary photo and the others gave me suggestions for how the light would be needed to shift around and get the shape of his face. I produced a small A1 sketch first, before attempting the final painting.

AF: Sadly, your Dad passed away, did he get to see the finished painting?

JK: He was around when West Studios first opened and saw the photograph of Toby Perkins MP standing in front of it. It wasn’t finished, but my Dad died shortly after that, and then I had this period where I couldn’t concentrate on that painting, it was too difficult.

AF: You said it was going to be a set of six,

Page 26

who are the other people you are planning on painting?

JK: They will still be of people that flicked that switch and made a difference to me. One of them will be my old art teacher, who spent most of his time living in France. I also have the need for their faces to be interesting.

AF: The portraiture of your Dad is larger than life - why is the scale so large?

JK: The larger surface gives me a chance to explore clumsier, cruder brush strokes. It gives me a chance to be less fussy with the painting.

Anyone who knows John or has attended his life drawing classes knows that he ordinarily paints people, from the large-scale paintings of Alison the life model to the larger-thanlife painting of his Dad. So, when John and I shared a studio in 2016, I was amazed to see large-scale paintings of flower meadows. I asked John what brought about this change in direction.

JK: It was a moment of madness, I thought I should be doing something that is commercial and try to sell them in galleries.

A flaw in the plan was that John would have to go and tell people about them and show them.

This is a normal dilemma for many artists, - they enjoy the process of making and painting, but not being the centre of attention when it comes to exhibitions. One of the key skills that artists have to learn is how to price their work and to be realistic with their time.

JK: I limited myself to spend eight hours on each painting over a period of a month. When galleries take 50% commission and then you have to buy materials, that doesn’t leave much at the end. As an artist, you have to juggle between earning a living, and fulfilling your passion and the need to draw and paint.

AF: Did you always want to be an artist?

JK: My Dad didn’t want me to work in the mines. I studied A’ level Art then went on to do the Art Foundation at West Mansfield College. I started a BA in Fine Art at Newcastle Poly, but dropped out in the first year. With a new family

www.s41local.com

to support I had to find work, so I ended up working in the pit for three years. I then went on to become the world’s worst salesman for a furniture store.

Eventually John started to draw again and achieved his BA in an odd mix of Illustration and Fine Art at Bradford College. John currently works for a nonprofit organisation working with groups of adults with learning disabilities. Alongside this he runs regular life drawing and painting classes at West Studios.

AF: John I can remember how nervous I was on my first life drawing class at the college, can you talk a little about why life drawing is an important skill to have?

JK: When learning a set of drawing skills, you have to genuinely look. When you are not an artist, it could be argued by a lot of people as inappropriate gaze because somebody you don’t know is unclothed in front of you. What you are doing is striving to produce that surface and shape as accurately as you can, so there is a long stare and a return to the drawing, and the process repeats itself again and again.

While looking, we are seeing more, and we are adjusting and changing shapes and moving the drawing on the paper. As marks and lines become more successful, the drawing say more about the person doing the drawing rather than the model.

The Dark Flower paintings can be seen at the Leabrooks Arts Complex in Somercoats, Derbyshire. https://leabrooksartscomplex.com Drawing and Painting classes take place at West Studios on Wednesday evenings, twice a month.

The Kicklips talk haircuts, influences and their gig highlights Words:Simon Paterson Image: The kicklips

H

aving recently had a track played on the TV show Tattoo Fixers, played Tramlines, Ynot and the Isle of Wight festivals, I thought I'd better interview the Kicklips before they are too big for a local community magazine! They are a threepiece band from Dronfield consisting of:

Who are your biggest musical influences?

Beck Harley on bass and lead vocals, Mo Ghani on guitar and Dan Siddall on drums.

Toto were quite big in Africa for a while!

Who came up with the name the Kicklips?

Mo: We like to use the term ‘Garage Rocknroll', but we’ve been described as ‘indie’ before.

Beck: Mo and I came up with the name The Kicklips one night in The Dronfield Arms; we thought it far beat our original name, 'Poems For Children'.

Mo: Just for the record – I had nothing to do with that dreadful pre-Kicklips branding.

'Poems For Children' would cause real problems for parents using Spotify when your adult, rock and roll anthems start playing!

Mo: Metallica, Hendrix, and Pink Floyd are the big three.

Dan: Toto are definitely a big one for me.

How would you describe your sound?

Beck: Yeah we don’t really like the term ‘indie,’ as it’s gets thrown about far too much. I’ve heard Oasis and George Ezra described as ‘indie’ in almost the same breath – what’s that all about?

Oasis, definitely, maybe, could be rock and roll stars (you see what I did there).

Who has the best haircut?

How did you guys meet?

Beck: Mo.

Beck: Mo and I have known each other for around 13 years – having met in the first year of primary school.

Mo: Beck.

Dan: I got in touch with the guys over Facebook after seeing their advert looking for a drummer around two years ago now.

I bet Beck and Mo have some good stories to tell having grown up with each other! I look forward to hearing some of these on the Late, Late Show with James Corden.

What’s your song writing process?

Beck: Bloodshed, shouting, tears, and the occasional Greggs.

Mo: Beck usually comes into the rehearsal studio with a few songs written, tries them out with us, throws out most of them, and we end up with a tune or two.

Page 28

Beck: Will have to be Elvis Costello, Jarvis Cocker and a fair bit of John Lennon.

Dan: Me I guess – but definitely Mo. I love it how Beck said Mo but clearly thinks it’s himself. Hair like that doesn’t manage itself, Beck!

Where have you performed, and which is your favourite gig of all time?

Mo: We’ve played all over really – when we first kicked things off we were bouncing around Sheffield venues like Plug, The Leadmill and Café Totem, but since then we’ve been on two tours and hit festival season. The best gig for me so far must be either the Lincoln date of our February tour, at The Engine Shed, our recent hometown headline show, or Ynot Festival 2018.

Beck: The favourite for me would either be

www.s41local.com

our recent Sheffield headline or Isle of Wight festival this year.

Dan: Definitely Ynot 2018 so far.

Ynot and the Isle of Wight festival are pretty big names… I have to say I am very jealous.

What advice do you have for people who want to form their own bands?

Mo: Just do it. Don’t try too hard to be something specific; you don’t want to end up looking like a tribute band.

Beck: Don’t worry about looking stupid, because that’s inevitable.

And they say rock and roll is dead!

If you could collaborate with anyone past or present who would you choose?

Beck: I think I’d donate my left leg to an Oxfam if it meant I could have a sit down with Elvis Costello.

Mo: Almost certainly Pink Floyd.

Dan: Gotta be Toto.

I’m with you here, Mo. Pink Floyd is a good shout.

What’s the craziest thing that’s happened on tour, please bear in mind that your parents read this?

Mo: Blackpool. Need I say more?

Beck: I mean I got a fine for going in a bus lane in Nottingham. I’d say that’s pretty rock'n'roll.

Dan: Beck accidentally stole my wallet in London and it almost caused World War III.

ArtistLocal Hero S41

Dianne Wildin Caring is in her nature

Words: Bekah Anstey Images: The Green Care Home

F

Dianne is clearly a passionate and devoted lady, we asked her why she chose caring for elderly as her profession

All our S41 Local Heroes are deserving of the title’ S41 Local Hero’, we go the extra mile to ensure that we reach those that make a positive impact on our community.

This month’s local hero has been on my radar for many months, I have seen firsthand the passion she has for the residents of The Green Care Home in Hasland. I was delighted to receive a nomination from a family member of one of Dianne’s residents. If you’ve seen our past Local Hero Facebook videos you will see that I am a bit of a softy, and often get teary eyed when I am surprising our heroes. This one was no exception, I made it through reading the nomination to Dianne... only just… Here is what Liz who nominated Dianne had to say about our local hero –

As well all the amazing work she does with the older generation, Dianne is a dedicated fundraiser. She undertook and completed a 10k run for Cancer Research and completed a Pretty Mudder, let me assure you, there is nothing pretty about an obstacle course in the mud, it’s hard work!

rom knitting to nattering, puzzles to painting and dancing to dining, Dianne has the entertainment covered at The Green Care Home, introducing this month’s S41 Local Hero – Dianne Wildin!

I would like to nominate Dianne Wildin of The Green Care Home in Hasland for the S41 local hero award. Since my Dad became a resident at the care home Dianne has really made his time there fabulous. She has brought out his personality and helped him enjoy quality time there involving him in all the activities including joining in with the ladies at the knitting club! She sent us photos and videos of him enjoying himself and treated him like her own. Sadly, Dad passed away today and right up to this time (and I’m sure beyond) Dianne has been an amazing support to me and my sister. I cannot praise the beautiful selfless person enough, such compassion for everyone she cares for – please tell her how special she is as I don’t think she realises what a blessing she is.

I decided to work in care because I need to feel that I’ve made a difference to someone in any way I can. To enhance their quality of life and because I am naturally drawn towards elderly people as they are so fascinating, knowledgeable and you learn so much from them.

Dianne is an inspiration to many including me! I love to see her Facebook posts of all the fantastic selfless work she does with her residents from painting, trips out, crafting and all the fundraising events she is involved with. If only we could all be a little more like Dianne!

All that is left to say is a huge thank you Dianne for all your hard work and support within the community. The residents and families are so very grateful for making an emotional journey a happy one. Thank you!

Bekah Anstey Memories

Words & images: Bekah Anstey

S

o, the school holidays are now a distant memory…I always love the school holidays as it is a chance for me to spend some quality one to one with Eva. In the past we have done lots from camping weekends in air streamers, and even Disney. However, this year has been very different. Having two children to organise and entertain is a complete game changer and almost impossible on top of working and trying to get the magazine done and delivered! Thank goodness for Grandad Dave, Nana Jackie and Auntie Lynda! They have been absolute troopers in helping us out over the holidays and we really appreciate it, thank you!

This month we were very lucky that we were able to attend Leeds Festival! (shout out to Grandad Mark, Nana Linda and Nanna Wendy for the childcare!) Yes, there really are that many Nanna and Grandads thank goodness. We have been to Leeds festival many times however perhaps not feeling as tired as we are now (Florie still isn’t sleeping through the night). We managed to organise the kids though, pack enough booze for a lifetime (which we barely touched), off we went to Leeds in our wellies and jumpers in the blazing sun (we were expecting rain of course, it always rains). We couldn’t wait to pitch our tent (thanks to Martyn who actually ended up pitching our tent), we watched some amazing music and queued for an hour to pay a ridiculous amount for a pint of beer (I’m not bitter at the cost of the drinks). We had a wonderful time and made some amazing memories with our family and friends, despite the dog eating our tickets, driving with no lights on the way home and almost running out of petrol it was pretty much a stress-free weekend!

This month I have spent a lot of time in bridal shops, who knew it took so many visits to find the perfect dress??

Also, who knew there were so many variations to a white wedding dress? I’m now an expert on sweetheart, A line, princess and cap sleeve. It’s been a pretty magical journey watching someone you care about so much in their element picking a dress they are going to get married in!

I’m very excited for the big day!

All in all, we didn’t go on a fancy holiday, but it has been pretty amazing and definitely eventful. I have made some fantastic memories which is what life is all about! I’m very excited for Eva moving up into year 5 and can’t quite believe I have an almost 9-year-old!

I hope you have all had an amazing summer like us and are now looking forward to Christmas! It won’t be long…. I saw advent calendars in Home Bargains this week!

This summer I have had the absolute the pleasure of attending a few festivals, both local and national.

Edge Events put on two fantastic festivals this summer, the first one being the Street Food and Grooves Festival in Chesterfield town centre.

Street food is all the rage right now, and, for good reason. Bekah and I went down on the Saturday and sampled some truly scrumptious delights. I visited the guys at Disco Fries and absolutely nailed, in a matter of minutes the ‘Doner Summer’. Perfectly cooked fries topped with slow roasted spiced lamb, feta cheese, chilli sauce and mint yoghurt! OH. MY. DAYS. A few weeks later we went to the Chesterfield Food and Drink Festival at Queens Park, which was buzzing by the way and despite there being about 50 different food options I ordered the Doner Summer, again!

What can I say about the Chesterfield Motorfest! I haven’t, no, I have never seen Chesterfield town centre so busy, giving our local, independent shops are well deserved boost. There were automobiles of every variety to feast your eyes upon, with some fantastic live music to boot. I take my hat off the to organisers and a job well done.

Bekah and I attended the Peakender Festival in Bakewell with my cousin Ross and his awesome wife, Hattie.

Peakender is a fantastic little festival

by Thornbridge Brewery. My cousin Ross is into his craft beer and writes for a London based beer magazine!

He has been promising me, for about eight months now, that he will write an article for S41 magazine, but it remains to be seen (named and shamed). Get your finger out our kid!

It’s the first festival I have been to in a while where I don’t look or feel 20 years too old to be there. It was great value for money at only ten pounds per ticket, it’s just a shame the car

Earlier this year I turned 40 (I’m not happy about it) and Bekah got us Leeds Festival tickets. For most of my life I have attended festivals, concerts and gigs, they are my happy place, a moment in time where I am truly present! Aside from watching amazing artists and bands such as The Foo Fighters, 21 Pilots and Youngblud, I get to spend three days with some of my closet friends and just be myself. I am not a Project Manager, an Editor or a father at Leeds festival, I’m just a dude drinking a beer and living in the moment! If you have never been to a major festival, I highly suggest you do. Add Leeds Festival to your bucket list, you won’t regret it. A big shout out to my friend Dale Pashley, who after years of threatening to come to a festival, finally did it and has probably booked next years ticket already!

I hope your festival season was as good as mine!

Peace, love and positivity Simon Please Mention S41 Local

News West Studios Exhibition White Light White Peak – The Live Experience.

Written, photographed and performed by Simon Corble, stage direction by Alice Bartlett.

The award-winning playwright, poet, photographer and performer, Simon Corble, pulls together his varied talents into a unique evening of Peak District experiences, which is touring across the region and beyond, alongside the publication of his book, White Light White Peak.

West Studios Theatre Space, 10 October 7:30pm.

Starting in the depths of a snowy winter, both book and live performance are a journey through a Peak District year, including encounters with the weather, wildlife and people; some amusing, some thought-provoking and many involving a Springer Spaniel...or two. Simon delivers his poems from memory and in a conversational style. More like miniature short stories, complete with twists and some happy endings, or, as Buxton Festival Fringe reviewer, Jim Marriott wrote, “this is a conversation he is holding with you in a quiet corner of a local pub on a Winter’s evening. Words and metaphors flow delightfully and with ease. Spellbinding writing…”

accompanying soundscape, captured locally - and in all weathers.

The hardback book, (signed copies of which will be on sale after each performance) with a colourful foreword by fellow White Peak poet, F. Philip Holland, has already had some fantastic reviews.

One is by Helen Moat, well known Peak District author, travel writer and book reviewer: “A joyous book - one to be slowly savoured…Simon Corble produces a little bit of magic in White Light White Peak…This is a book to keep and cherish.”

West Studios in Chesterfield are also hosting the travelling exhibition from 3 to 10 October of prints from White Light White Peak. This is a found Theatre production, in association with Rotherham Underground. www.whitelightwhitepeak.com

The White Light is all in monochrome photography: Atmospheric landscapes, wildlife shots and enigmatic moments, reflecting the images and moods heard in the poems and projected onto a large screen throughout the performance with an

John's Gritstone Challenge

John Lee, pictured left is taking on a huge challenge in order to raise funds for the charity Epilepsy Action. John's son Thomas is an epilepsy sufferer and he wants to give back to the charity that has supported his family over the years. Here is what he had to say: "So I am going to compete in at least 11 fell running races in and around Derbyshire over the next year. Ten of these are part of the Gritstone Series. In total I will be running roughly 100 miles, it's going to be incredibly challenging as navigation around these courses is not easy and certain safety equipment is required for some events.

"The first event I am doing is the Lost Lad fell race on my 42nd Birthday on the 28th September.

My knees aren't great from two operations in the past so I may hobble my way around some of the events but I want to to raise awareness for Epilepsy to help people with Thomas's condition."

John is hoping to raise £2000 for the charity.

You can sponsor John at the address below or pop into the Three Cottages for a pint to wish him luck and leave a donation. http://bit.ly/JOHNSJOURNEY Good luck, John!

Specialist Stroke Services

A local charity, unique to the area providing a fantastic service.

Words:Paul Chapman Images: Specialist Stroke Services FB

S

uffering a stroke is life changing, but for people in Chesterfield a service set up by two dedicated women provides a safe, supportive environment tailored specifically to the needs of stroke survivors and their carers, the like of which is not found anywhere else in the country.

survivors are impacted by aphasia, a condition that impairs language, affecting the ability to produce and understand speech, or the ability to read or write. You might know you want to say ‘the sofa is green’, but you can’t get the words out. And when you do get the words out, the words you’ve said aren’t right.

Derbyshire Stroke Centre is a registered charity set up by Julie Wheelhouse and Debbie Newton in 2001. Both were working in stroke care but realised different and longer term support was needed than was on offer.

“It takes control away from the individual and causes many problems. This is exacerbated because the disability is not visible. If someone is sitting in a wheelchair or has physical signs then others know to make allowances and offer support, but that just isn’t the case with injuries and damage to the brain.”

I was invited along by Ian Gerrard and went along to see the facilities and meet some of the survivors and their carers at the Derbyshire Stroke Centre, at Holmewood Business Park. I was blown away by what they have achieved and the support they offer.

A stroke is momentary interruption in supply of blood to the brain in the form of a blood clot or a bleed, the worse case scenario is death. Should people survive the resulting damage to the brain can cause long term effects that vary dramatically from patient to patient.

Julie explained “We started up in 2001 in a room at the Victoria Club on Whittington Moor. Debbie and I had seen first hand the problems people were facing. In some cases people who could no longer work needed to fill out forms to access benefits, but the result of the stroke made that difficult. Many people struggle to make the necessary decisions and with language problems can't just call someone up and ask for help. “Some Page 36

“We have our own stroke nurse who is mindful of the problems stroke survivors face. If people have language or cognitive problems, how do you make an appointment with the doctor?” explains Julie. “If faced with a decision you might shy away from it, stroke sufferers need careful handling as tempers and feelings can flare and range dramatically. Our nurses know this and allow for it in the way they care.”

“Of course, the damage caused by a stroke can also be physical with loss of movement and difficulties operating limbs. The centre has a fully equipped gym where the equipment is power assisted, this enables operation of both limbs, the good side is exercised in the traditional way whilst the affected side is able to move in unison, aided by the machine, allowing for passive movements.

“We’ve had some fantastic results in the gym, a neuro-physio comes in three times a week and

Community works with service users. We’ve seen some people stand, walk and exercise after being told they’ll never walk again” Julie enthuses.

The centre offers holistic support focusing on mental wellbeing, alongside the physical symptoms of both the stroke survivor and their carers - including mood swings.

The service is clearly very important for the people who go. The support from the staff is fantastic and people love coming. There are no inhibitions and people can feel comfortable here, positivity is the buzzword ... not everything can be fixed, but the centre gives people the space and time to try and most importantly, the support doesn’t come to an end.

The centre aims to help people always improve, for example, if they can’t speak and it won’t come back, there are ways the centre can help with confidence and finding other ways in which people can communicate.

Diane (top right), one of the service users at the centre was previously a farmer, and the centre have bought her a bee hive (which had to be positioned off site), which she now keeps and goes back to sell the resultant honey with funds to the centre.

They have a belly dancing class, visits from an aromatherapist, pilates and Zumba classes, art therapy, something different happening most days - groups of classes for people who share many of the same difficulties.

The team are seeing new referrals every week and the need continues to expand.

The service initially started small with Julie and Debbie requesting a day a week release from their jobs to set up a service within a community room at North Wingfield. They expanded the service, eventually leaving their jobs to set up the Specialist Stroke Services as a charity, full-time, as the numbers kept growing.

Julie remembers. “In the early days we had to beg people to loan us rooms, meeting three or four days a week, before we secured a small lottery grant. We wanted to make the jump from a support service to a place with a permanent home.” explained Julie.

our expanding gym and allow us to offer a range of new services. We want to be able to provide respite for people who are in need of a break from caring, or rehabilitation weeks where survivors can access the gym, exercise session and therapy daily.

We launched a campaign to fund our new Centre and we have found a building that would suit our needs perfectly, having space for respite, a wide range of activities and lovely outdoor space for relaxing. We are hoping to find the funds to allow us to move soon so that we can offer support to all the people in the area that ask for it.

FUNDING: Some service users are entitled to a Direct Payment which is a source of funding that many survivors and carers are unaware of “Direct Payments became available in 2001 and it’s flexible so people can choose how they access care support. In some instances, this can be used to fund daycare services such as time at the centre. People can use this money to access our services, £35 will provide support for the day” says Julie.

What’s amazing about what they do is that it’s unique to us here in Chesterfield. Nothing like this exists elsewhere in the UK! Ian Gerrard, Publicity secretary for the Chesterfield Male Voice Choir (CMVC) became involved after the CMVC staged a fund-raising concert for the centre as guests of the Whittington Moor Methodist Church. Mike Spriggs, Chairman of CMVC, and treasurer of the choir, Bill Snook, came and with Ian to present the cheque. "I was so impressed by what the centre was achieving I had to volunteer my services to help out".

You can see what goes on at Facebook: Derbyshire Stroke Centre and keep an eye out for the Chesterfield Male Voice Choir - singing comes from the automatic speech part of the brain and often isn’t affected by aphasia so is a welcome relief to sufferers, Ian is working with Mike Spriggs to form a singing group for patients, so please support the choir by attending a concert if you can.

“We’ve had other grant funding and support from local organisations e.g. the Inner Wheel, Chesterfield Male Voice Choir, the Rotary. All donations are ploughed back into equipment etc.

Chris's View: Chris (below) suffered his stroke seven years ago, his mobility and speech were limited for at least 18 months, he suffered double vision and still does.

He has to remember to swallow if he doesn't he chokes. He knows which words he needs to use but can not always find them.

He uses a drawer system in his mind and has to work really hard to find the words he requires, once he achieves that he tries to lock the word back in the right place. It took him over two years to develop a decent vocabulary.

Things we take for granted he and others have to work really hard at eg: posture for instance, they have to remember to hold themselves upright.

He describes his condition as like this, "remember the Thunderbird puppets?" he asked. "Bobbing around on their strings being controlled from above, imagine cutting those strings. Everything changes. Suffering a stroke is a bit like that, a puppet with no strings, always having to compensate for no strings."

Chris was also very keen to mention the strain placed upon carers. It is sometimes worse for the carer than the stroke victim.

He now visits the centre regularly, is a trustee and helps out in the kitchen.

Garden Tips

Autumn Garden Tips

If you have heavy clay soil, make a start on digging it over, leaving the lumps to be broken down by frost over winter. If you have any used compost, which will improve the soil structure, incorporate it as you go.

When leaves have fallen then this is the time to give your soft fruit, blackcurrants, blackberries and all Words: Inspire Community Garden the hybrids some shaping while Picture: Robert Nixon Betts they are dormant. Remember that many of these appear on the previous year’s growth, e.g. raspberries & blackcurrants.

When your crops of tomatoes etc. have finished, thoroughly clean greenhouses and cold frames while the days are still warm enough for them to dry out.

Birds (especially pigeons) are fond of leafy green vegetables, so deter them with netting or lengths of black thread tightly stretched across and around the plants.

Keep harvesting runner and French beans; like many vegetables (including courgettes) they will keep trying to produce more as long as they’re not allowed to set seed - it’s the same principle as dead-heading ornamental plants. But there comes a time when they really

have finished, so cut them off at ground level, leaving the roots, which will have collected valuable nitrogen, in the ground.

Plant over-wintering onion sets and garlic, and continue to sow winter lettuces - start in modules under cover (there are several varieties with varying degrees of hardiness: lamb’s lettuce, Winter Density, Valdor and All the Year Round are just a few).

It is time to think about ordering new fruit trees, and move existing ones (and shrubs) while the ground is still warm.

Keep on top of tidying jobs, but leave as many ornamental seedheads as possible; they can look good, especially frosted, and provide food for birds. Attracting these to the garden can also help with pest control, as they will eat the eggs and larvae of some nuisance bugs.

Houseplants will need watering less often, and don't need to be fed any more this year.

Cover ponds with nets before heavy leaf-fall clogs them up – remember to remove the collected leaves before they weigh the net down or start to rot.
