EIGHTIES POP ICON IN THE CITY American singer and 80s pop icon Belinda Carlisle is back on the road with a very special UK tour this Autumn, called the ‘Heaven 30th Anniversary Tour’, which will be kicking off at City Hall, Salisbury on October 1. She will be performing a selection of tracks taken from her classic solo album ‘Heaven On Earth’, along with impressive back catalogue of material, including her personal favourites. Fans won’t be disappointed. Born on 17th August 1958, Belinda rose to fame in the early 80s where she gained worldwide fame as the lead vocalist of the Go-Go’s, one of the most successful all-female bands of all time. The band sold 8 million albums in just three years. Belinda later went on to have a very successful solo

career with hits such as ‘Mad About You’, ‘I Get Weak’, ‘Circle in the Sand’, ‘Leave a Light On’, ‘Runaway Horses’, ‘We Want The Same Thing’, ‘Live Your Life Be Free’, and of course, ‘Heaven Is a Place on Earth’, which were major successes in the United States, United Kingdom and around the world.

Nevertheless I’ve had one or two people in those postcodes say they haven’t received the magazine. Is it that they have forgotten that they have received it? Or is it that the local Royal Mail office don’t cover the homes that we think they do? We have a mystery to solve!

Producing this magazine (and the others we do) is no small task. We put a lot of effort in to finding what community news we can, researching the events listings, and working with our advertisers, without whom we wouldn’t have a magazine at all. The very last piece of the process in our production is to have the magazine delivered to you. The SP5 postcodes are very rural though; there are no easy deliveries to big housing estates. So we have always used Royal Mail to do the delivery – they are going door to door anyway, so it make sense for us to tag on.

SPECIAL SPEAKERS AT THE LIGHTS Making a debut visit to The Lights on 16 October, Professor Robert Winston explores how humans are obsessed with their genes. Does the sequencing of the human genome really herald a new opportunity for medicine, or is there a darker side that we ignore? On the 4 November Michael Portillo makes a welcome return to tell his extraordinary story; from the threshold of Number 10 to a popular television historian and railway enthusiast famous for his coloured jackets! There are visits from two men at the pinnacle of their chosen

pursuits – Kenton Cool with One Man’s Everest on 20 September and Hans Rey, former World Champion and member of the Mountain Bike hall of fame on 22 November. Finally stand-up comedian Jeremy Hardy is back at The Lights on 25 October. A kind soul in The Guardian once wrote of him, “In an ideal world, Jeremy Hardy would be extremely famous, but an ideal world would leave him without most of his best material.” www.thelights.org.uk or call 01264 368368

History

MAN’S BEST FRIEND By Catherine Rose The domestic dog (canis familiaris) has been around for almost 20 thousand years. Despite much speculation, modern research has concluded that all dogs are descended from the grey wolf (canis lupus), although it is difficult to see what some of today’s diverse breeds have in common with them. Today’s domestic dog is the most varied mammal on earth in terms of shape, size and behaviour. The oldest dog remains date back 19 thousand years and were uncovered at a Palaeolithic site close to the Ukraine. Another Palaeolithic tomb excavated in Israel contained the skeletons of a man and his dog who had been buried together, demonstrating the bond in life between the two. Like man, wolves are sociable pack animals who accept the authority of a group leader. This made them readily adaptable to human leadership, being naturally loyal and able to obey the rules of their pack. Scientists believe that our huntergatherer forefathers took grey wolf puppies from the wild, taming and interbreeding them to have traits according to the needs of their owners – from being hunting companions to helping herd livestock. This selective breeding meant that some dogs developed an acute sense of smell, hearing or vision, while others developed speed and stamina, or guarding, hunting and retrieving skills. These traits evolved over thousands of years to produce diverse canine types that were then bred within 8

those types to evolve into the domestic dog breeds we have today. We know from murals that dogs were kept by the ancient Egyptians, Greeks and Romans. Chinese emperors lavished so much care on their canine companions that they were even said to have their own servants. In Europe, owning a dog gained popularity from the 13th century onwards, and during the Middle Ages it became a status symbol. Dogs were still largely kept for purpose rather than pleasure until the mid-19th century, when the Victorians made family pet-owning a sought-after social practice. With it came organised dog shows and the birth of the Kennel Club in 1873 to differentiate between and regulate ‘pure’ or pedigree breeds. Dogs outside of the specialisations came to be known as mixed breed or mongrels. The first Crufts was held in 1891. Different dog breeds differ widely in their life spans. Larger dogs tend to be shorter lived: Great Danes, for example, typically only survive eight years. The breed with the shortest lifespan - around five years - is said to be the Dogue de Bordeaux, while the longest-lived breeds are Toy Poodles and Border terriers, both of which can survive for up to 15 years. According to the Guinness Book of World Records, the oldest dog was a mongrel named Pusuke, who was almost 27 years old when he ‘crossed over the rainbow bridge’.


Our long relationship with dogs runs deep into the backwaters of human history and will no doubt continue to do so. With the right training, dogs have consistently proved themselves to be intelligent, loyal, affectionate and often invaluable companions, rightfully earning themselves a place within our homes as a much-loved member of the family.

TECH FOR THE NEW TERM

The best solutions for students and schoolwork It’s that time of year again: schools, colleges and universities are readying for a new term and parents are running around trying to get everything their children need. Increasingly that includes technology, whether that’s a basic laptop for younger children’s homework or an all-rounder for studying, social media and streaming video at home or in student accommodation.

It’s worth thinking about streaming video if your children are staying away from home, because you can get almost all the TV you want for free, entirely legally, via the internet and most catch-up TV apps (BBC Iplayer does need a licence). There’s no need for a pricey Sky or Virgin contract, just a decent broadband service. If video is going to be a key thing, make sure whatever you buy has a good-sized screen or buy a Chromecast, which enables you to stream video from your computer to a TV. The best all-rounder is a Windows 10 laptop, and you’ll find lots of really good bargains from the likes of Dell, Lenovo, HP, Acer and Asus around the £400 mark. 1

There’s another option: tablets such as the iPad. Previously we’ve said they aren’t really ideal for serious work but that’s changed with the arrival of the iPad Pro, which is a genuine alternative to a powerful laptop. It’s pricey though (from £619) with another £159 for a keyboard cover or £99 for the Apple Pencil (£99). 16

In the unlikely event that your child doesn’t already have a phone, give Apple a miss unless you’re really fond of their products or don’t care about the cost: Lenovo’s 2 P2 and the Moto G5 are both brilliant Android smartphones and cost less than £150 SIMfree. And if they need an e-reader, Amazon’s all-conquering Kindle remains the one to get - but you don’t need to buy the top-end Kindle Voyage (£169): the basic Kindle is just £59.99 and does the job perfectly well.

It’s worth checking your insurance policies too, especially if your children will be moving out for college or university. Your home insurance might already cover your children’s gadgets when they’re away from home, but don’t assume that’s the case - and if they do, check the excesses, which might be higher than the cost of repairing or replacing a gadget. The same applies to any contents insurance you may take out for your children’s accommodation. Lots of companies have insurance policies specifically designed for students’ computers and smartphones, and sites such as money.co.uk enable you to compare the cover, cost and excesses quickly. We’d particularly recommend insurance that covers you for accidental damage: if something can be dropped, smashed or accidentally covered in liquid, it probably will be. Main Image- iPad Pro 10.5” £619. 1. Google Chromecast £30-£69. 2. Lenovo P2, around £300.

Short Story

Hair of the dog

By Jackie Brewster

“The Euclidian Geometry course is cancelled,” the registrar informed Eugene brusquely. “Too few people signed up.” “How many?” Eugene asked in astonishment. ”Just you.” The lady avoided eye contact. “I suggest you choose something else.” Eugene was perplexed, yet relieved, because he didn’t want to study Euclidian Geometry either. His sister had spent the entire summer bullying him into attending a night class. “You’ve got to get out there and meet new people,” she’d insist during their evening dog walks. “Choose anything. Just be creative with it.” Eugene believed his knitting brought out his creative side, but, according to his sister, knitting wasn’t going to help him meet new people. He sat in the college cafeteria and took the dogeared brochure from his satchel. The college offered everything from Origami to Beginners Taxidermy. There was too much choice. “Penny for your thoughts?” A lady in a fluffy black beret put her coffee down on his table. “I’ve been ordered to choose a course that is both creative and sociable, or my sister will never speak to me again,” Eugene said. “Any advice?” “What sort of thing are you into?” The lady smiled sympathetically and held out her hand. “I’m Megan by the way.” “Nice to meet you, I’m Eugene.” He shook the proffered hand. “That’s a lovely beret.” 20

“Thank you,” she grinned. “I made it myself.” “Beautiful wool,” Eugene said. He had an eye for these things. The corner of Megan’s mouth twitched as she regarded Eugene thoughtfully. “I believe you’ll fit in just fine on my course,” she said finally. “We’re a friendly bunch.” “Which course is that?” Eugene asked. “Perhaps we shouldn’t discuss details here.” She glanced over her shoulder. “Some people are a bit squeamish about it.” Well, that rules out origami Eugene thought. “Do I need any special equipment?” he asked tentatively. “Nothing expensive.” Megan smiled and blew at the froth on her coffee. “Though it does help if you have access to a dog.” She’s one of the taxidermy crowd, Eugene thought. He had wondered what people who stuffed animals for a hobby were like. It turns out, he thought, they were rather nice. “So you’re working on dogs this term?” he asked as casually as he could. He’d assumed they’d start on something small like a vole. “Dogs are ideal,” she said, “particularly the longhaired kind.” “My sister has a Collie,” he said slowly, fearful of what he was agreeing to. “But she’s not dead.” Megan snorted, spraying her coffee across the table. “That’s fine,” she laughed grabbing a napkin, “we only want the bits that drop off her.” Goodness me, thought Eugene, is she talking about a leg or a tail? He would have to have a serious discussion with his sister about how much she really wanted him to take an evening class. “Perhaps you could bring some next week?“ Megan said, as though it was decided. “If not, I’ve got plenty of my Cocker Spaniel, Wilson, to share.” Eugene wondered what part of Wilson he would be entrusted with. “That’s very generous.” Eugene realised there was no backing out. “You’d better go and sign up, class starts in five


minutes.” Megan finished her coffee. ”Just tell them you want to join ‘Chiengora - wear your best friend’.” “Wear your best friend?” Eugene asked. He’d remembered seeing that mysterious course title. “Knitting with dog wool.” Megan gathered up her bags. “I’ll see you in class.” Eugene beamed with relief. “I can lend you some knitting needles,” she called across the cafeteria. “No need,” he said, because he always carried some in his satchel.

The exhibition features over 70 works, carefully chosen by Kaffe himself to create an immersive world of colour.

Dovetail Framing – where the framer comes to you!

Where the framer comes to you! Enjoy the benefits of: • Making framing choices in the comfort of your own home. • Wide range of mouldings and mount colours. • High quality, professional framing. • Free, no obligation quotations. • Free collection and delivery in the Salisbury area.

Dovetail Framing For advice and to book your consultation please contact Jonathan Birch

Tel: 01794 341274 info@dovetailframing.co.uk www.dovetailframing.co.uk

Awbridge picture framer, Jonathan Birch, has qualified as a Guild Certified Framer (GCF), the qualification that recognises skilled framers and allows consumers to find excellent craftsmanship and service. Over 1300 framers worldwide have qualified, and locals are lucky to have one to hand at Dovetail Framing. GCFs are awarded their qualification by the Fine Art Trade Guild, the industry’s trade association. After months of study and preparation, candidates sit a rigorous examination where their skills and knowledge are tested by an independent assessor. Jonathan was selected to receive a national award, which helped him prepare. “Last year I received a scholarship sponsored by the Guild and framing supplier Arqadia, which enabled me to attend a number of courses in preparation for the examination”, he says. “On the day of the assessment, I submitted three pieces of framed work, sat a written examination and carried out practical tests to ensure that I met the Guild’s standards”

Qualifying is not just about pride, but adds value for customers. Jonathan demonstrates an understanding of conservation framing, the use of appropriate materials to avoid future problems and the range of framing options customers may require. Knowledge and technology improve all the time, and key is a commitment to Continuing Professional Development, which is your assurance that you are trusting a craftsman who is knowledgeable and can advise appropriately.

Jonathan remains enthusiastic about the future: “I have enjoyed working with customers over the last few years and look forward to employing new skills to enhance and protect more works of art in the future. If you need help, call on 01794 341274, e-mail on info@dovetailframing.co.uk or visit www. dovetailframing.co.uk – I’ll be delighted to help” 23


FARMER SAYS “CHEESE” AT AWARDS The difficulties faced by dairy farmers in recent years have been well documented with many stories of farmers failing to forge a way through the troubled times. For Mike Smales, a dairy farmer from the New Forest, his key to survival has been his awardwinning cheese. At Lyburn Farm they have a herd of 170 dairy cows and it is their milk which is used to make a selection of cheeses popular not only in Hampshire and Wiltshire but across the UK. The focus on cheese has enabled Mike to add value to his milk whilst creating an award-winning product. Mike explains: “We feel fortunate to have had the cheese business to help us survive the tough times. Not everyone has been so lucky. It has also become a large part of our business as we are

passionate about producing only the very best quality cheese and take great pride in our work.” The high standard of their product has certainly been recognised at recent awards.
