Welcome Welcome to the new look Rutland Community Scene magazine! We are delighted to bring together all of Rutland every month, to share all the fantastic community news and what’s on available. Rutland has been busy this month, with news across pages 6-10. Stay in touch with us if you have your own community news and updates. Our September garden scene is all about preparing your garden for the cooler months. It’s time to store crops and make sure your lawn is all set for those chilly mornings. (see page 13). Indoors, we’re all drawing the curtains earlier, so now is a good time to consider a mini makeover for those window dressings. (see pages 22 – 23). This month is the start of the Rugby World Cup, hosted in New Zealand. Plenty of early morning starts to watch the matches live! Also, take note, it’s the ‘World’s Biggest Coffee Morning’ on 30 September – why not organise your own? www.coffee.macmillan.org.uk Stay in touch and if you have news, email us at naomi@scenepublishing.co.uk

Community Following the success of “Just Desserts” in 2010, The Lions Club of Rutland have organised their second annual restaurant appeal, this year called “Dine for the Lions”. All proceeds from this event, which will runs throughout September will go towards supporting junior sports clubs within Rutland. In conjunction with Rutland County Council, Rutland Lions will be working with the Local Sports Alliance to reach out to junior sports clubs within Rutland, and will be inviting bids from them which are aimed at attracting and retaining young people in sporting activity. This might be in the shape of equipment, facilities, coaching or even travelling expenses. So far 27 local restaurants have signed up for this appeal. Each will offer all customers who donate £1 or more when paying for their meal, entry into the Dine for the Lions draw for a Free Meal for Two at their restaurant; so there will be a large number of Free Meals for Two to be won during this appeal. Main sponsorship is by Rutland Radio who will be providing plenty of coverage during September as well as displaying information and listing all participants on their website. www.discover-rutland.co.uk/site/food-and-drink

Kitchen garden Lift and store main crop potatoes to avoid damage from slugs. Dry and with loose soil knocked off, store in paper or Hessian sacks. Pick apples as they ripen. Extras can be stored in boxes or on shelves in a cool room or shed out of the sunlight. Never store damaged or bruised fruit and check regularly for rot. Prepare a bed for autumn planted garlic and over wintering onions. For an early crop next year sow broad beans.
Ornamental garden Keep dead heading to get the longest display from late flowering perennials. Collect and sow ripe seed, take late summer cuttings of Salvias and Penstemons.
Lawns This is the perfect time for lawn maintenance; 1 Scarify your lawn using a wire rake or petrol scarifyer. 2 Improve drainage by plunging the tines of a folk to their full depth across the lawn.
3 Apply an autumn/ winter slow realise fertiliser, to keep the sward healthy. 4 Apply evenly a bagged top dressing with grass seed that suits your lawn added to the top dressing.

Feature
Goldmark Gallery welcomes Jim Malone Goldmark Gallery is very pleased to announce the dates of the forthcoming, highly anticipated exhibition of new pots by Jim Malone. Somewhat of a maverick within his field, Malone’s nonconformist approach to life has echoed throughout his potting career, leading him to become one of the most important and respected British potters working today. Malone was first convinced of his calling in the early 70s after seeing early Korean pots at the V&A. His inspiration from Far Eastern pottery continues today, producing highly accomplished work with an emphatic personal stamp all of his own. Expect to see striking combinations of Tenmoku jars and slab bottles with brilliant blue/green copper pours, elegant bottles with perfectly proportioned necks finished with a rich olive Nuka and yunomi; teabowls, ashed and incised or ridged and stamped. Now living in Cumbria with his wife, he revels in the imposed near-isolation of his surroundings, living an almost self-sufficient way of life. From his very large bottles (some over 2ft high) to the smallest of yunomis, they all display the natural unforced beauty distinctive not only of Malone’s pots, but also of the landscape in which he makes them. That is, as Jim puts it, “so long as the kiln gods smile on me!”. 17 September – 15 October 2011 | Free entry. Goldmark Gallery, Uppingham, Rutland. 01572 821 424. Open Monday to Saturday 9.30am - 5.30pm, Sunday and Bank Holidays 2.30pm - 5.30pm www.modernpots.com

Starting with an initial 1900 metre swim which sets the standard for the rest of the race. The following 84km bike which includes two climbs over the notorious Rutland Ripple and incorporates nearly 1000m of climbing is just the second stage of suffering before the 21km run gets under way just to finish things off. 10 September

Pet Scene
GRASS SEEDS Dog owners
beware!
At this time of the year vets can see this problem on a daily basis. Grass seeds are shaped like tiny darts. Once it pierces the skin (toes, ears, eyes etc). The dart is unable to come out and tracks its way through the dog. It is not unknown for a grass seed to enter the dog through the toes and travel up to the shoulder and get trapped - which will need to be surgically removed - this can be painful for your dog and costly to you. All dogs are at risk from grass seeds but long haired, long eared dogs like spaniels, and dogs with hairy feet are especially susceptible. Avoid walking in areas where grass seeds are likely to be present Always check your pet’s feet, ears, eyes, and coat after every walk Keep coat short especially around the feet.

Patching passion A simple but very effective craft is ‘ Decopatch’. Not heard of it? It is a similar technique to Papier-mâché but with beautiful papers, allows you to transform simple everyday items around the home. It’s easy, not too messy and not an expensive hobby if you look to recycle picture frames for
Family Scene example. The paper is deep dyed and glazed and doesn’t break apart when glued. The colours also don’t run. Ideal for; picture frames, tired looking side tables, mirror frames, trinket boxes www.decopatchplace.co.uk www.hobbycraft.co.uk
Because it is a very thin, but strong and flexible paper, decopatch is especially easy to use. Decopatch can be applied to most materials, for example metal, wood, plastic, glass, paper mache, wicker, ceramics and cardboard. *Decopatch paper is easily applied to any kind of surface (flat or uneven). *Decopatch is the only paper which produces a smooth texture and a real paint effect. *Decopatch paper is deep-dyed and glazed. It will not break apart when glued, and the colours will never fade or run.
If you’re stuck for ideas on how to entertain the children on those late summer weekends, then why not take them to Sacrewell Farm and Country Centre for some holiday fun on your doorstep? www.sacrewell.org.uk or call 01780 782254. Telephone: 01780 783613 | September 2011
