Close your eyes… …and imagine you’re reading this issue of yll while swinging in a hammock in a warm country garden. there’s an ice cold drink in your other hand, the birds are happily tweeting away, and the sun beats down onto the lenses of your comfortable shades. Picturing it? okay, read on. wow, what a month! it’s a scorcher of an august, and one and all are out in the glorious sunshine, soaking up rays, and cracking wise. we’ve compiled a magazine just as hot as the weather, bursting at the seams with local stories, offers, competitions, and fun events to go to while it rains. oh no, we ruined the illuSuion! Sorry about that. it’s just that we really do hope that august will

turn out to be a nostalgic British summer, and not an actual British Summer, complete with surprise downpours and unexpected thunder storms. whatever happens this month, feel confident that we’ll have you covered – literally. you see, there’s a huge pile of events at the back of the mag, ones to enjoy both inside and out, and this month we also delved into the worlds of two of our city’s most important charities; york against Cancer and SnaPPy. But, the glossy cover of the magazine can withstand more than a few raindrops, so keep this issue close to you while out on your summer adventures, and you could always use us as an impromptu rain hat. all part of the service. See you in Sept! SARAH

DANI IS A FRUITCAKE the following is taken directly from an email office administrator dani sent to writer howard: “over the past few weeks i’ve been experimenting with fruits – which includes me deciding i don’t like them, and then bringing them into work to palm off on others. april was lychee, last month was kumquats (which had a success rating of 0%), and today was tiny bananas (Chiquita minis). three out of seven people approve, but technically hannah only opened hers and didn’t like the look of it, and Krystal declined hers after watching hannah. next month: Sharonfruits.” Just a small insight into some of the burning topics being discussed at the yll office.

John Vanbrugh was a dude although we only mention this guy in passing in this month’s time travel feature (which is about heslington hall – the daughter of the 17th century owner married him, you see), we discovered that the designer of Castle howard (and Blenheim Palace if you’re bothered about things “down the south”) was actually a pretty awesome bloke. not only was Sir John locked up in the Bastille for allegedly spying on the french, and – following his release – immediately joined the navy and attacked france (awesome), he also wrote some forward-thinking (and sexually graphic) plays promoting the rights of women. all that before designing the splendour of Castle howard (and marrying a posh lass from heslington who was less than half his age). dig deep, and you’ll find these little gems.

There’s a fun Micklegate Run think ‘micklegate run’ and you’ll no doubt imagine drunken debauchery, puddles of vomit, and slurring people hungrily devouring kebabs outside of the post office. But soon all that will change, and ‘the great Street’ (which is what micklegate means, don’t cha know?) will become known for down-hill action, high-speed cornering, and those wheel-shattering cobbles. that’s because on 28th august the inaugural micklegate run Soapbox Challenge will take place, with more than forty home-made racers tackling the ancient thoroughfare. we honestly can’t imagine anything more exciting and think it makes the tour de france seem like a race for the last biscuit in a retirement home.

You’re all and we really mean that – you have to be, because after delving into the work of two of york’s local charities in our special supplement this month, we learnt just how much they rely on the kindness of residents. flip to the bumper special section to find out about york against Cancer (who are really giving cancer a bad time these days), and SnaPPy (who help to make the lives of some of our most special young people more fun), and you’ll see just how charitable a city we can be. But... they both still need our help, so check out the feature now to see how you can get involved.

and life in general

as seen by rachel ragg

Something shocking has happened. i have moved into the twenty-first century. this is a big moment for a technophobe who still writes letters (yes, letters!) using paper and a fountain pen. my iPhone-wielding family and friends despair of me. i have been happy to bask in the moral superiority of having the oldest but most brilliantly robust phone on the planet. my ten-year-old nokia does nothing but phone and text. this is good. why would i want anyone to email me while i’m in Boyes? and no, i don’t feel the need to carry around a mobile photo library. my trusty brick has survived fire and flood and acts of god. more to the point, it contains my entire textual life over the past ten years. Birth announcements. addresses. messages from my children when they were small and

sweet (“to mummy, i have been old maid and donkey at granny’s house”). useful messages about where to sell a short-reach bassoon. messages that can’t possibly be replaced. it’s a diary for someone who’s too lazy to keep a diary.

causes the phone to go flying across the stone floor.

But, tragically, my hand has been forced.

then i look at my phone.

“good job it’s not an iPhone,” i think oh-so-smugly. this is not the phone's first accident. in fact, it’s probably its second accident that day.

the screen is blank. not in a black, i-accidentallyswitched-myphone-off sort of way. in a greenish sort of way.

“i have moved into the twenty-first century”

i do what everyone does in such emergencies, namely switch it off and switch it back on again. only it won’t switch off. it is completely dead. i am surely imagining this. maybe if i leave it alone and do some shopping, it will spring back into life.

a forensi need.

“is there nothing you can do?” i plead.

and lo! g team wh data.

things are looking up.

i resist the urge to cry, and set off for a second opinion from the foss islands phone place.

travel aspects are in the ascendant, especially during the second week, and while this may enrich your emotional life, it will inevitably bend the plastic. relationships enter a very rewarding period of special anniversaries and celebrations, which indicates a boost to your love life and your social life. in many ways, the last week of the month is the most interesting insofar that something you thought you had lost will be returned to you, old favours are

repaid, and there should be payment of a sum of money that is owed to you. Could be fifty quid from the bloke down at the pub, or an envelope in the post with inland revenue stamped all over it. also, you can look forward to some good news where a career ambition is concerned, vaguely somewhere between the 22nd and the 28th.

a good month for making money, especially if you’re prepared to take a couple of calculated risks. an opportunity on or around the 8th has much to offer! Partnerships and sexual relationships may become very intense, but in an exciting and exhilarating kind of way. gentlemen in particular stand a good chance of getting what they want.

you’ll find that this month flies past as you successfully get to grips with half a dozen different things you’ve been putting off all summer. in an argument around the 17th you’ll make it clear to other people that they cannot just leave everything to you, and that they have to assume some responsibility for themselves.

mother/Son relationships go through a period of turmoil… if the son is still a child, the mother must make sure that she wins! Some sort of family reunion on the 10th could not go as planned, so if necessary, zip the lip and keep your thoughts to yourself. lovely news concerning pregnancies and births.

Quite a lot of spare time on your hands throughout august, but not a lot of folk around for you to share it with. therefore make the most of your independence and do things on your own, rather than not doing them at all. a health aspect is high profile between the 10th and 20th – either yours or someone else’s.

21ST APR - 21ST MAY

much of your time will be taken up with one particular work project, but you need to keep your wits about you and your options open, especially where finances are concerned. Some belt tightening may be needed during the third and fourth weeks, and some efforts need to be made to pay off old debts.

cancer 22ND JUN- 22ND JUL a good month for independent ladies who have clearly defined ambitions… not such a bright time for domestic ladies who will find they have to struggle and juggle to get things done. gentlemen should do well in business deals and career moves, but only if they’re prepared to be a little bit ruthless.

messy divorce

Hey Daphne, my mum and dad are going through a horrendous divorce at the moment. I’m 18 and the eldest of three siblings. I feel like our parents are trying to get us to take sides and being really horrible about each other when the other isn’t around. How can I get them to see that I don’t want to take sides. It’s not just them going through this divorce, but us too.

Dear Daphne, my mother in law keeps on buying us useless presents that are quite frankly unaesthetically pleasing and not particularly useful either. I don’t unWanted want to go into too much detail so as not to hurt her gifts feelings, but I’m concerned she will realise we don’t use or display the gifts when she comes round. I’ve had horrendous clothing that I feel obliged to wear and various decorative items that aren’t all that pleasing on the eye. How can I get her to stop? Anonymous, Bootham you only need to wear something once to show appreciation. did you ever hear the saying ‘it’s the thought that counts!’ unless you think she is deliberately trying to wind you up by giving you more and more horrendous and useless presents, the next time she’s round make sure all of her decorative items are out on display and as soon as she’s gone, get them shipped off to the charity shop and get thinking of some decent excuses as to where they have gone for the next time she comes round. you could always keep a box of things she buys you to display before she visits. alternatively you could gently explain that you’ve now got plenty of aesthetic items in the house and she’s better off saving her money, or come up with a lovely suggestion for her……we are saving for a lawnmower/house plant/ holiday/conscience. worse things have happened at sea!

hey tired referend have spo it. your c and there an impor politics aw causing r put in pla to your c of life and world. if on board

Anonymous, Skelton Parents’ divorcing is the worst. it’s happened to me, luckily my parents weren’t too bad in the slagging off department but they did have horrendous rows and it made it tough on me and my siblings. you need to tell your parents exactly what you’ve just told me. it’s not fair for them to expect their children to take sides – how selfish do they want to be? it’s a difficult time for all of you, but a lot of hurt can be saved if your parents confide in their adult friends about their grievances, instead of their children. don’t put up with it!

WLD wldyork.co.uk Ever since the EU referendum our family can’t sit at the table without it turning into a heated debate. My brexit young adult children were both in favour of remaining, has torn while my husband and I voted for Brexit. If I’m being my family apart totally honest I have become increasingly unsure of my decision but I don’t feel I can admit this to my children who are terribly bitter about the result. It’s even got to the stage where they have left the room out of anger. I want my peaceful family back. Tired mum, Fulford. hey tired mum, this seems to have been an issue for a lot of families since the referendum. the important thing to remember now is that the general public have spoken, such is democracy, and there’s nothing anyone can do about it. your children shouldn’t be so rude and disrespectful at the dinner table, and there’s certainly no need for them to lose their tempers. the vote was an important one and tensions did run high. my recommendation is to keep politics away from the dinner table. it may seem awfully old fashioned but if it’s causing regular rows then maybe a referendum tea time ban may need to be put in place. while they live under your roof they live under your rules. explain to your children that tolerating other people’s opinions is an important part of life and they’re going to need to get used to it aSaP to survive in the adult world. if you’re being just as argumentative maybe you should take my advice on board too.

Join us as we journey back in time. No pushing. THIS MONTH: heslington hall delve right in, shall we? although these days the area is crammed with colleges, theatres, teaching rooms, the Science City business park, and a whopping great artificial lake, heslington prior to the arrival of the uni was a quiet little prenorman Conquest village comprising of a single main street, a church, and – from 1568 – a grand manor house. the hall of today is actually mostly a 19th century reconstruction, but the original hall was also built on three sides around an open courtyard. despite it's 1960s origins, and all those... interesting... concrete buildings, there is a structure within the campus of the university of york that often gets noticed for looking out of place. heslington hall is a grand old house amidst the hustle and bustle of a busy university, and one with an interesting history. So lets

brand new huge manor house? nar guv, i'll have the cash. it was sold to the hesketh family, who clearly appreciated it more, living there for more than a century. on the death of thomas hesketh in 1708 it passed to the yarburgh family, whose daughter, henrietta, married the playwright and architect Sir John Vanbrugh in 1719. yep, the bloke after which one of the uni's colleges is named, and the guy that built Caste howard (and general all-round awesome bloke).

the hall was built for Sir thomas eynns, a prominent politician, and Secretary and Keeper of the Seal of the Council of the north, which was based at King's manor. however, eynns died just five years later, and the hall and estate was passed to his nephew... who flogged it. need a

Speaking of pretty legendary chaps, the final member of the yarburgh family to live at the hall was major nicholas yarburgh, who wasn't just the high Sheriff of yorkshire, but also a famous jockey. he won the St. ledger Stakes in doncaster in 1839 on a horse called Charles the

twelfth, and nicholas became such a local celebrity that a nearby pub was named in his honour. Praise indeed. following nicholas' death in 1852 heslington hall was passed to the owners of Sewerby hall near Bridlington who adopted the yarburgh surname, as it was dead posh, like. artictect Philip Charles hardwick (a favourite of Queen Victoria's, no less) was commissioned to rebuild the hall in the Victorian style, demolishing much of the medieval structure. the formal front courtyard, the ceiling of the great hall, and two staircase towers are all that remain.

his deceased brother. from this point on heslington hall was the seat of the Barons deremore, still remembered by the name of the pub on main Street, the deremore arms. the hall was then lived in by their son, and then their grandson, whose family vacated the estate in 1940, ending almost 400 years of heslington hall being a family home. and why? Because of the nazis. the hall was taken over by the raf Bomber Command to be used as the headquarters of no.4 group raf, with the grand rooms being converted into administration offices and communication bays. following the end of the Second world war the hall was not retaken by the yarburgh-Batesons, and instead stood empty for almost two decades, although it received grade ii listed Building status in 1955.

seat of learning the brand spanking new university of york purchased the hall and grounds as the huge campus was being created, intending it to act as the administrative hQ of the new school. Sir Bernard feilden was brought in to convert the hall into offices; the man who would go on to oversee restoration works at major cathedrals, including york minster. So although the private comforts of a family home may now have been lost amongst the comings and going of students, the rattle of keyboards, and the groan of laser printers, there is still one quiet place. at the rear of the hall is the Quiet Place, a secluded garden designed to allow the staff and students some peaceful introspection. you could pop along there and think about all the people who owned this place before you got there.

WHO: Sarah millican WHERE: york Barbican WHEN: 2, 3 & 4 September INFO: yes, this is usually the music corner but i’m going to be doing loads of music online so head over there. in the meantime go and see this woman she will make you laugh and feel happy.

it seems like recently a lot of us have lost our compassion. one of the main battle grounds for the eu referendum was immigration. it wasn’t the whole battle, but it sure seemed to take up a lot of the media’s attention. we’ve made our decision now; it wasn’t the way i voted but we are lucky enough to live in a democratic society and must stick to our collective decisions. So instead i’ve turned my attention to the rising levels of hate crime, as reported by the police, and to reflect over what a bitter referendum this one was. it’s time to be nice again. i was proud to be British. the economically successful and tolerant country that we had become seems

to have faded a little bit over the past month and i want it back. i want people to feel welcome here, and i am happy to share Britain’s prosperity. it seems a little odd that one day we are born, and the geographical location can determine what we will be entitled to later on in our lives. let go of your self entitlement, remember that all human beings are equal and you are definitely no better than anyone from any other country, nor, in my humble opinion, do you deserve to be treated any differently. Seriously, those who think that we should ‘take back our borders’ or ‘pull up the draw bridge’: take a look in the mirror. why are you so much more

important? Because one day you woke up and voila there you were sat in an nhS hospital and no one was throwing bombs on your house and it wasn’t exceptionally difficult to find meaningful employment and you guessed it – education was free. if you were out of work you could claim job seekers allowance – even if you had never worked a single day in your life you could still claim the bare minimum… well aren’t we just the lucky ones? i’m not saying that British people don’t have struggles, of course we do, we all do – but can’t you see how some of ours pale in comparison? now don’t get me wrong, this column is by no means a

whether you’ve never heard of it, or use it every day, groves lane today is a handy short-cut from huntington road through to lord mayor’s walk. in the past, however, it was slightly more significant, being the northern route out of the roman fortress of eboracum. let’s have a wander, shall we? step 1

we start by the gate… the gate that no longer exists. Stand on lord mayor’s walk by Sinclair Properties and Press green. look at the city wall opposite you. notice the dip in the grassy embankment? that marks the site of the Porta decumana; the back way out of the roman fort. turn around and notice just how straight groves lane is, running away from the ex-gate. you’re roman now. • Walking down the alley, what number is the lamppost? • Who handles security solutions around here?

head down the alley. • In which year was the highways act passed?

step 3 the car park ends, but the route goes on, partially along lockwood Street toward the alleyway ahead. But… • What is the connection between this area and the train station in edinburgh? • You just passed a bunch of parkers in the car park, but can you find another here? • What colour is the cat that lives around here (who fed us all these fascinating facts, by the way)?

at the end, carefully cross over Penley’s grove Street (which references the fact that the whole of the groves was once called Paynley’s Crofts and was made up of private gardens and orchards) and walk along the next short alley. alight onto the corner of Jackson street. • What cottage also references the area’s horticultural past? • In stark contrast to the organic past, name the 1960s house on the left.

step 5

step 2 yes, it’s a

car park, but look how groves lane continues along its side. trudge on, eh? • In which year was St.wilfred’s School established? • What number should you quote when paying your parking charge by phone? • Who gets their own special parking around here?

step 6

step 4

Cross lowther Street, glancing to the left to see how the distant wesleyan Chapel lines up with the street. nice. • Heading for the alleyway opposite, how many things should you not block the access to? • At the end of the alley, why do motorists on Park grove need to pay special attention?

And then you alight onto Huntington Road! But wait… • Who has some motors around here?

You’ve just walked the tattered remnants of a major Roman road. From around here there would have been a bridge over the River Foss, and then the road would have continued all the way to Malton (Derventio Brigantium), roughly along the line of the modern A64. What did the Romans ever do for us? They gave us a few short cuts. Cheers lads!

SPORT REPORT with Dan Tait each month dan delivers his thoughts on local, national, and international sporting clashes. Pray silence.

Return of The Minsterman

Unexpected result in the bagging area why do we even bother watching football? as if it wasn’t bad enough seeing york City meekly fall out of the football league, england topped it by being on the end of arguably the most embarrassing tournament result in their history losing to iceland. i was annoyed as much as the next man, but i paled into insignificance against some other supporters who really took it to heart. one bloke punched the wall so much he recreated a scene from the Shawshank redemption while, another bemoaned losing to a nation, in his words, who think that trolls live under bridges. Some other fans were more philosophical, stating they were looking forward to getting the shirt for a fiver from Sports direct the morning after. my dad’s post-match

analysis of england was that “they just froze”. Just when you think it can’t get any worse, look at the odds to replace roy hodgson as manager. mike Bassett with Chris Brass as his assistant looks a promising move. at the time of writing, Sam allardyce has quickly become favourite which, although not my cup of tea, i enjoyed the Sunderland fanzine response of “oh, think twice, it's just another day for you and me and allardyce”. one man will be pleased; Kevin nolan will probably now get that elusive england cap.

Boo-ros

it wasn’t just the rubbish england put out, but i was really disappointed with the tournament as a whole. when one of the major highlights was a moth landing on ronaldo, you know it’s not caught fire (unlike will grigg). many people were asking why there were so many moths in Paris that evening, and an arsenal supporter tweeted it was because arsene wenger had opened his wallet. apparently they only have a life expectancy of 15 days so they probably thought england hadn’t qualified.

So now that the tournament is over there is no rest for the wicked, as york City, albeit with a pretty much brand new side, are well and truly back in pre-season training and preparing for the new campaign. the club are going to be televised by Bt Sport for the opening fixture at maidstone united on the 6th august, whilst home games come thick and fast with macclesfield (tuesday 9th) and Boreham wood (Saturday 13th), before woking arrive at the Crescent on Saturday 27th. it’s amazing how quickly the season comes round again. i am writing this the night after Celtic lost to lincoln red imps. i have watched football for 24 years and never heard of this side. i thought it was someone’s five-a-side team. Perhaps if they turn the 2nd leg around they will face the likes of Steau needarest, fC twente Somethings, a3 milan or ivory toast.

onto cricket now and yorkshire’s title defence looks like it will go down to the wire with key home games against warwickshire at headingley starting on thursday 4th august. Scarborough festival begins on tuesday 23rd august, when nottinghamshire are the visitors to north marine road. hopefully the weather will be better than my last trip to headingley for a t20 blast game, when pitch inspection after pitch inspection (and people had bought food and drink) it was finally called off.

the school summer holidays offer a great chance for your pintsized penalty-taker to hone their footballing skills. york City football Club foundation have some amazing summer courses taking place, allowing the next generation of ronaldos, aged four to 12 years, some ball practice time, right up until September. the advanced courses, taking place at huntington School, will focus on the skills of older players (eight to 12) who might already be a part of grassroots clubs, while the girls only classes are tailor-made to the needs of up-andcoming female players. also, there is

a great chance to try their hand (or rather feet) at futsal, the fast-paced small-sided game that is played around the world to encourage quick thinking and progress talent. But it isn’t just the diehard career players who could benefit from the foundation’s courses, as many of them are designed to be just for fun. these relaxed, informal, and crazy lessons take place across the city in places such as energise, fulford School, york Sport Village, and the regen Centre, riccall. to book your child’s place, or to find out more, visit www. officialsoccerschools.co.uk/yorkcity

LEADING THE FIGHT We catch up with Jenny Southgate, head of the Jack Birch Cancer Research Unit at the University of York this advance – the team’s demonstration of how it could make cells become ‘specialised’ – has enabled study of how that process happens at the molecular level. “it led us to identify genes involved in specialisation and these very same genes have recently become recognised as being involved in bladder cancer. we are now working with collaborators across europe about interpreting our findings in normal cells, in terms of what’s happening in cancer.”

Jenny began working with the charity in 2002, which since then has funded her research. without the money raised by yaC, Jenny would not be able to carry on her work, which includes some groundbreaking research; a study that has been a major advance for both cancer research and tissue engineering. “when we take cells out of tissue and grow them in a Petri dish,” says Jenny, “cells divide to generate lots of new cells. But they are unspecialised and no longer function like cells from the original specialised tissue. we have discovered a way to make these cells form back into a specialised tissue and we have a patent protecting this finding. this discovery has

been really important for understanding how cells change in cancer, and has also opened possibilities of cell therapies in patients with diseased bladders.”

a new project is now about to get under way at the Jack Birch unit, examining the part hormones play in the development of cancer. find out more about the research yaC funds, at www.yorkagainstcancer.org.uk/research

Of all the things for York to be against, cancer is deﬁnitely the most important. Fortunately we have a great team leading the charge. Here’s how it started... Beginning in 1987, the aim of york against Cancer has always been the same; to improve the level of care given to cancer patients, raise funds and awareness of cancer, and to pioneer research into cancer cures. the charity was started by Steve leveson and John Craven; two surgeons who, along with research scientist Colin garner, believed that the facilities for cancer patients in york could be better, as could the level of support they received. Jack Birch, a local businessman and the ex-lord mayor, was appointed as the first chairman of the new organisation. Since then the team behind york against Cancer has worked closely with york hospital and the university of york to establish the Cancer Care Centre at the hospital and to set up the telephone: Jack Birch unit of molecular Carcinogenesis at the university. “those are the motives,” says Steve leveson on

Give and take

setting up the charity, “and what continues to amaze me is how it has been so successful. the science has been productive and the additional patient-related activities have drawn acclaim from many organisations and from external quality assessment organisations. most importantly the public have benefited greatly from these activities and have been very appreciative.”

Cancer can, unfortunately, affect anyone at any time. one person who knows that all too well is Julie harrison, york against Cancer fundraiser, who then became a user of its services. “i was in the shower and i felt a lump,” says Julie. “i knew i needed to go to the doctor but at that time i didn’t really think it could be anything. But i saw the doctor and within a week they had got me to hospital. i had a mammogram and a biopsy, went into a room afterwards to see the consultant, and he said “i am not completely sure, but i think that this is cancer.”” Julie had been a long-standing fundraiser and supporter of york against Cancer, following the support her aunt had received from the charity years before. But now she was to experience the team’s work from the other side, giving her a unique insight into the vital services they offer. “the Cancer Care Centre is a fantastic, fantastic place,” she said. “the staff there must be trained Astek Garden design & build

FAREWELL GRAHAM, HELLO PAUL! One of the most important things that YAC does is help get cancer patients over to Leeds for vital treatments in the charity’s own minibus. If you’ve ever ridden in the bus, you would have deﬁnitely gotten to know the driver!

specially, as they are so lovely. it doesn’t feel clinical, it feels really nice.” Julie also found the charity’s respite apartment in whitby, available for cancer patients to visit, a tremendous boost. “it is an amazing apartment! to get that rest at the end of the treatment, and to have my family with me is wonderful, because it’s not just you going through this, it is everyone. “you come to realise how much a local charity can mean to people. large charities do a lot, but a local charity is something to be proud of. you can really see the benefits.” Julie is on the mend now. She’s back at work and taking part in fundraisers again. n To find out more about the work she is helping with, and the apartment in Whitby, visit www.yorkagainstcancer.org.uk

after three and a half years of ferrying hundreds of people to and from leeds each day, minibus driver graham Bradbury is handing in his keys in time for a well-earned retirement. graham’s replacement is former policeman Paul warner. Paul joined the police aged 21 and notched up 30 years in the service before retiring at the rank of inspector. ”when i retired i was looking for something really worthwhile to occupy my time,” said Paul. “when i saw this job advertised it seemed perfect. Cancer is something that affects everybody and i lost my mother to the

disease. i think when people are going through a difficult time it will be good for me to be able take away their stress about driving and let them concentrate on getting better instead.” york against Cancer general manager, Julie russell, said: “we have been providing transport for patients for the last eight years and during this time we have helped literally thousands of people, getting them to their appointments on time, relaxed, and free of charge. i’m delighted that Paul has joined us to help provide this service.” Paul is sharing driving duties with ian Stevenson, already a familiar face to users of the minibus service. n To find out more about the Minibus service, visit www.yorkagainstcancer.org.uk/ minibus

FUNDING DOCTORS, SAVING LIVES A test to identify people at risk from bowel cancer could be on the way thanks to the work of a York hospital doctor, backed by York Against Cancer. dr James turvill, a consultant gastroenterologist at york hospital, hopes to significantly improve the way gPs decide who to send for bowel cancer investigations, and could even lead to people buying home testing kits, which work like pregnancy tests. “one in 30 people will get bowel cancer during their lifetime”, said dr turvill, “and when caught early it is much easier to treat than with a late diagnosis. family doctors currently decide who should be referred to specialists through national guidelines based on patients’ symptoms, but these symptoms can be misleading; of every 100 patients undergoing fast-track hospital assessment, just six actually have bowel cancer.”

EARLY DETECTION doctor turvill is interested in two chemicals associated with a high risk of bowel cancer, believing they could lead to a much improved testing regime. york against Cancer has given £35,000 to fund further tests, and if they prove successful, a large-scale national study would follow. if that, in turn, bore fruit, the national guidelines on bowel cancer referral could be amended, potentially reducing greatly the numbers sent for investigations that subsequently turn out to have been needless. gPs could administer the tests, but ultimately, it is hoped that anyone concerned about their risk of disease could buy a test off the shelf, giving them speedy results and helping save nhS time and resources. “we are ahead of the curve with this,” said dr turvill. “other units are interested in this up and down the country. it could lead to us diagnosing cancers urgently and with much more efficiency.”

7TH AUGUST Jane tomlinson run for all. york against Cancer are an official partner of this event and have 30 free places available for entrants who pledge to raise at least £100. you don’t have to run to be involved, as the charity also need people to go along and help out on the day. if you would like to run, or help, please get in touch.

25TH SEPTEMBER york sWings against cancer. Starting at 7pm at the Joseph rowntree theatre is the third instalment of

this hugely successful evening. the show will feature the Sam Johnson Big Band along with local musicians and singers performing all your favourite swing classics. tickets are £13 available from Joseph rowntree theatre. n Call 501935.

A LESSON TO LEARN... york against Cancer are committed not only to helping those suffering with cancer, but also helping to cure the disease. as well as funding scientific tests in the laboratory, they can also help out schools with educating young folk about staying healthy; an important thing in the fight against cancer. this is something the children of wheldrake with thorganby School know all too well, because as well as being a teacher at the school, Sophie tams also serves on york against Cancer’s education Committee. Sophie has a great method of teaching her kids how germs are spread... with copious amounts of glitter! with a hand full of the sparkly stuff, she pretends to sneeze, showing the class with glitter. although fun, Sophie points out that this is how germs are so easily spread, and as the children touch each other, shake hands, and play, the glitter ‘germs’ are passed to everyone. only by thoroughly washing their hands can the children see how the glitter is removed, and learn just how important doing that regularly each day is.

19TH NOVEMBER James bond ball. '007'pm for a drinks reception followed by dinner at 7.45pm at the Voltigeur Suite, york racecourse. this black tie event will feature an auction, raffle and tombola, plus live music from the Superlicks. n For tickets call the YAC office on 764466 or visit www.yorkagainstcancer. org.uk

Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t just take our word for it... Thinking about volunteering at SNAPPY? We grabbed five minutes with someone who already has. Hello! Who are you? my names is rhianna and i was a volunteer at SnaPPy. this involved looking after the children, assisting them with play, taking them out on trips, and generally making sure the children were happy.

Nice. What was your favourite thing about volunteering there? my favourite thing about volunteering at SnaPPy was the relationships that i built with the children. By the end of my time there i had gotten to know all of the children, and since leaving i miss them all. the children are fantastic and all have amazing personalities. it is so much fun volunteering at SnaPPy.

How has your experience of SNAPPY helped with what you want to? i am now a primary school teacher with the intention to move from mainstream schools to special needs schools in a few years; this is a decision that SnaPPy influenced. SnaPPy gave me responsibility and opportunities that helped me gain the confidence to work with children who could be seen as challenging. i now feel more passionate about working with children with special educational needs.

Would you recommend it, and if so, to what kind of person? i would definitely recommend volunteering at SnaPPy. it is very different to anything i have done before but it was one of the best decisions i made. i liked it so much that i carried on volunteering on a Saturday when i was full time teaching on placement during the week. it is a brilliant place where children can have fun and be happy. Seeing the children progress on an individual level is very rewarding. i think volunteering for SnaPPy could benefit most people but it helps if you have an

interest in working with children with special needs.

Thanks! Any message for the staff and kids at SNAPPY? i would like to say thank you to all the staff at SnaPPy. i was always made to feel very welcome there and i have been given very beneficial experiences and opportunities. and to the children, i miss you all very much and i really wish you all well in the future. if i could transport SnaPPy with me, i would still be volunteering there!

if you run or own a business, and are looking for a way to promote it in a unique way while also helping to keep a local charity afloat, you need to join the club. SnaPPy's Club 100 is an initiative designed to support the great work the team does through annual funding from the local business community. as SnaPPy is so small, they can't push for huge national fundraising campaigns like the bigger charities, so therefore are asking for 100 york companies to give just £100 towards the running of two very special Saturday projects. if you sign up, you'll be rubbing shoulders with some esteemed company who

Get off your soap box... and ride it! if you thought sponsoring a local charity would be a pretty boring affair, and you’ll never actually see your money get spent on something, you are wrong... especially if you back the SnaPPy team on the micklegate run Soapbox Challenge. although micklegate might currently (and undeservedly) be associated with heavy drinking, loud geordie accents, and puddles of things you have to step over the following morning, soon it will be known for hair-raising excitement and danger. expected to be six million times more exciting than the tour de france, the micklegate run Soapbox Challenge will see more than forty teams racing down the cobbled hill in home-made soap box racers. SnaPPy will have a team in the race on 28th august, which has been organised by the micklegate Business initiative, and they are calling out for sponsorship. n Find out more, and get updates on the team’s progress throughout August, on SNAPPY’s Facebook page,www.facebook.com/SNAPPY.York

Oh yes they did! one for your future diary here, but SnaPPy will be making this Christmas extra special with the return of their Pantomime! oh no they won’t! Stop it, they definitely will. taking place on 19th december, the mad-cap play will be aladdin, and the venue will be confirmed closer to the date. n To keep up to date, visit www.snappyyork.co.uk/fundraising-and-events

Pot-luck

according to the aa, last year 39% of their members reported damage to their cars as a result of driving over a pot hole. that should come as no surprise considering that, last year alone, 2.2 million of the blighters were repaired, costing us £120 million. fortunately the fight against potholes has taken a leap forward recently thanks to the archway roadmaster 295; a specially kitted out truck with a pothole-filling arm on the front. the roadmaster approaches a pothole, blasts it with compressed air to clear it out, then sprays the inside with bitumen solution, before pouring in an aggregate and bitumen mix. the entire repair job, requiring just the lone driver of the truck, takes only three minutes. hopefully this will reduce costs, make long-term road closures a thing of the past, and finally show those potty buggers who’s boss!

nah... CarS! the tesla model S is known for being a very advanced car, what with its self-driving capabilities and unique hybrid engine. But did you know it is also a boat?apparently; if you believe both a video from Kazakhstan and creator of the car himself, elon musk. the video uploaded to youtube shows the tesla getting bogged down in the flooded section of a tunnel... only to rise up through the water and power on on regardless; passing by other stricken motorists. responding to the video, musk tweeted: “we *def* don't recommended this, but model S floats well enough

to turn it into a boat for short periods of time. thrust via wheel rotation.” what?!? elon, mate, if you make an advanced robotic car that also floats, then don't tell the world about it, you're not a very good technological genius and we probably won't be getting into your space ships any time soon. if we'd made that, we'd call it the tesla model fliPPin' Boat, innit?

LOVE A BARGAIN?

looking for a sound investment? according to research carried out by insurance broker footman James, an increasing number of us are investing in classic cars over the likes of traditional bricks and mortar. apparently the low interest rates of savings account, coupled with financial instability in the stock market, has encouraged many people to seek investments in rare and classic vehicles. it’s no surprise when you hear that older model cars such as the fiat dino have increased in value by over 100% in the last year alone, so keeping it pristine in the garage for a couple of decades could result in a tidy retirement sum. But, unlike stocks and shares, if you’re a petrol head perhaps the temptation to jump in the car and whiz it around the ring road might be just too tempting...

in an effort to cut the number of young people dying in road collisions, the driver and Vehicle Standards agency will be making changes to the uK driving test in 2017, to include 'real-life' manoeuvres. apparently the new test will scrap the likes of reversing around a corner in favour of reversing into, then driving out of, a parking bay, and also increase the independent driving section of the test from ten to 20 minutes. newbie drivers will also be asked to fiddle with things inside the car while driving, such as operating the windscreen heater, or taking instructions from a Sat-nav. and, judging by the way things are going, they might also be asked how to navigate duel-carriageway traffic while hunting down Pokémon. Best of luck to all.

hey idiotS, audi iS watChing!

many new cars feature some form of autonomous driving capability; where the car can actually drive itself, with no need for the human driver to even touch the wheel or pedals. however, this has caused a few brainless twonks to put just a touch too much faith in the onboard computer, by filming themselves climbing into the backseat of their cars, often teslas, while speeding along at 60mph. one man was even captured on camera by another motorist having a kip! to tackle this less than safe behaviour, audi have announced that their new range of a8 cars, which can also drive themselves, will include a camera which keeps an eye on the driver. leave the driver’s seat, or fall asleep, and the car will issue an alarm and threaten to disengage the autopilot. Brilliant. we’d love to watch a video of a moron scrambling back into this seat with five seconds to spare. 004 RC 0912 24/07/2012 17:11 Page 4

Focus on this

Cosying up by a roaring fireplace might be the last thing on your mind at this time of year (we would hope, anyway), but the summer is the perfect time to think about any improvements and alterations you’d like to make to your living room heating set up. As electric fireplaces are becoming increasingly popular, Focus Fireplaces are leading the charge in York with their new showroom, Focus on Living. It is often true that when we decide to get a new fireplace, it can also mean a total makeover for the whole room as well. That’s when a visit to the Focus on Living showroom, Just outside Stockton on the Forest, would bring plenty of inspiration, and offer some practical solutions from the highly experienced (and dead friendly, like) staff. In addition to all the stunning new electric fireplaces on display, Focus Fireplaces has introduced a carefully selected range of products to put the wow factor back into your living room.

Coming into focus

Create the perfect ambience thanks to their range of lighting, including a massive choice of lamps and energy-saving bulbs, and you’ll be floored by their range of high quality engineered oak flooring, with the further option of colour matched oak skirting and architrave. There are also timber wall panels – made in the Focus factory – as well as a choice of occasional furniture, mirrors, clocks, and stylish ornaments – even plug sockets! So although you might originally have gone to quite literally focus on fireplaces, Focus Fireplaces will significantly widen your focus to get your home refreshed and modernised for the coming chillier seasons. We’ll grab our slippers, some hot chocolate, and we’ll meet you at yours! n Visit www.focusfireplacesyork.co.uk or call 400525.

BouQuet-doKey the hidden CoStS

Buying your home technology products and kitchen appliances online is a great way to compare prices and find the cheapest deal. it’s so easy, isn’t it? a picture of the product, a clear price tag, and a great big button that says ‘Buy now’… what could go wrong? although many online retailers will either include delivery costs in the price, or indeed make it clear how much delivery will be, what they don’t specify is whether or not the delivery person will actually take it into your home. unbelievably, many delivery companies are told not to enter your home at all, leaving your item with you on the doorstep. that isn’t really a problem if you’ve only ordered a book, but what if it’s a new dishwasher?

that’S how they get you

when dealing with the likes of ao and John lewis, the cost to have an item installed, and also to recycle your old appliance, could cost you as much as an extra £150! Suddenly that ‘amazing deal’ you found online isn’t so amazing. also, if you install it yourself (or pay someone else to do it) and the product turns out to be faulty, you could be charged again to have another delivered and installed. our advice: stay local. we offer free delivery and installation on most of our items. we basically try and make the whole process as easy as possible, with a two person delivery team (we even deliver upstairs, which no national company will do), predelivery surveys as necessary, fitting, on-site training, telephone assistance after, warranty registration, and recycling of the packaging and of the old product. we feel that once a customer has, with our help, made their decision, they should not have to lift a finger after that. n Visit www.htodd.co.uk

if you've ever dreamed of creating a bouquet as stunning as the ones made by professional florists, you're in luck. dutch nurseries in haxby are now not just offering a free bouquet to the winner of our monthly word search, but also a splendid new Summer workshop on how to tie your own. taking place at the shop on 3rd august, the workshop will involve selecting your own flowers and then following the advice of the expert tutors to make something unique and

beautiful. all materials are provided, you can take your bouquet home with you, and there will even be a light summer buffet. n To book your place, call 768439.

W h at to do in the g a rden during august august is generally one of our hottest months of the year and although you may just want to sit back and relax, there are still plenty of jobs to be doing in the garden.

THE FLO W E R GARDEN • Give hedges their ﬁnal trim of the year. • Prune rambling roses once they have finished flowering. • Lavenders and hebes can also be given a light trim after flowering. • Give any drought-stressed shrubs a thorough soak, especially newly planted shrubs, preferably with recycled or rain water. • Deadhead, water and feed hanging baskets as this will help them last through until autumn. • Cut back hardy geraniums to encourage a new flush of growth.

• Plan ahead and buy spring flowering bulbs for next year.

T H E V E G E TA B L E GARDEN • Continue to pick fast maturing vegetables such as cucumber, beans, and courgette. • Pot up strawberry runners and shear off foliage just above the crown of the plant. • Prune out old canes from raspberries once they have finished fruiting.

L AW N S • Continue mowing your lawn, but in hot, dry weather conditions raise the height of the cut to avoid drought stress. • Avoid using lawn weedkillers in late summer; they will be more effective in cooler autumn weather conditions.

PONDS • Keep ponds aerated in warm weather by running pumps and

fountains overnight. • Continue to remove any blanket weed that may be forming. • remove dead foliage and blooms from waterlilies and other aquatic plants.

Bee there THE GREENHOUSE • ensure adequate ventilation on warm, sunny days and dampen down on hot days to increase humidity. • Make sure plants in the greenhouse are well shaded to avoid scorch. • Continue to regularly check for pests such as greenhouse whitefly, red spider mite, mealybugs and scale insects. treat any infestations as appropriate.

looking for a unique event to take the kids to? on 3rd august, 12noon-3pm, rawcliffe Country Park will play host to a Pollinator Picnic, filled with food, a pollinator prowl, story-telling and games for children based around bees, butterflies, and other pollinating insects. all money raised will go to york urban Buzz. n Find out more by calling 07880 316031.

got a gardening Question? ask

ChriS broWn from Brown nurSerieS if you have a question for Chris, please email info@yourlocallink.co.uk. Call Chris on 766266.

i have just moved into a new house. could you recommend some good shrubs to make a nice hedge, please?

a. Shrubs suitable for hedging can be pruned or

clipped annually for a formal effect, or allowed to develop a more natural appearance. those of stronger growth, and ultimately larger habit, are useful for screening, to hide intrusive views, filter noise, or lessen the effect of wind. here a few good hedging plants: • berberis ‘darWinii’. this large, mounding evergreen shrub is densely covered with small, dark green leaves. Clusters of orangeyellow flowers in spring are followed by black berries. • buxus sempervirens. this makes a small formal upright evergreen hedge that is ideal for around paved areas and paths. • lavender hidcote & munstead. these could be used in the same way, but with nice rich blue flowers that attract butterflies and bees to the garden. • escallonia ‘crimson spire’ & ‘donard seedling’. these are both a longtime favourite of mine; both reliable shrubs with

arching stems. each is clothed in glossy evergreen leaves, with masses of flowers that open in the summer. • ilex aQuifolium ‘argentea marginata’. this makes a good formal hedge or screen, with cream-margined, prickly toothed, evergreen leaves and red fruits when pollinated by a male holly. • prunus ‘rotundifolia’. the most commonly used laurel for formal hedging, it has striking, glossy green evergreen leaves and an upright growth. it can also be grown as a specimen plant. • fagus ‘sylvatica’ green beech. this makes a perfect hedge with smooth grey bark in winter and pale green leaves in spring, turning shiny mid-green in summer and golden yellow in autumn. the leaves stay on the plant during winter, even though it’s a deciduous plant! • viburnum tinus ‘eve price’. heads of reddish buds open into many white flowers with subtle fragrance from autumn onwards. neat and rounded, this shrub has glossy, dark evergreen leaves. hope you find something you like!

i have a large magnolia bush in my garden and would like to reduce it in size. can you give me some advice on how to do this, please?

Makeovers & Maintenance

a. magnolias are a large genus of trees and shrubs, grown for their showy, often fragrant flowers. they are fully to frost-hardy, but most need protection against strong winds, and early-flowering species may be marred by late frosts. Plants grown on poor soil seldom make well-shaped specimens in general. avoid pruning established magnolias unless essential. many species bleed and should only be pruned from summer to before mid-winter. where light pruning, make cuts no more than half an inch in diameter. Prune in mid-summer those that flower before, or with the new leaves, in spring, and prune the late-flowering species that bloom after new leaves are produced in spring as new growth begins. many magnolias break from old wood and respond well, if necessary, to hard pruning during the correct season. recovery is slow, as the trees usually direct their energy toward wound healing in the first year, producing new growth only in subsequent years. the more vigorous may produce sappy water shoots around the cuts, which must be removed. heavy flowering, followed by the production of copious seed, can reduce vigour. if possible, remove flowers when faded. Badly shaped specimens can be renovated by hard pruning, staged over two to three years. all the best!

tony ChalCraft giVeS uS the lowdown on our gardenS.

you’ll never bee-lieve this!

knoW your onions: how to harVeSt and Store onions are one of the easiest vegetables to produce, especially if grown from sets (baby onion bulbs). while growing onions may be relatively straightforward, harvesting and storing can be tricky. treated carefully, onions grown from spring planted sets should keep in good condition until march or april the following year. get it wrong and all you’ll have is a squidgy and smelly bulb, not even fit for the compost heap. in most years mid to late august is when onions planted as sets in late march or early april should be ready for harvest. the weather is also important. if there’s a lot of rain lift the onions sooner rather than later. leaving onions in soggy ground into September is the surest way to ruin the keeping qualities of a crop.

teaSe me the key indicator that onions are ready for harvesting is when the

leaves cease to be upright and collapse at the neck of the bulb. once the vast majority of the tops have fallen i use a fork to tease the roots out of the ground. if the soil is dry and no significant rain is forecast, i may place the onions on their side and leave them on the ground for a week or so. this helps any soil left on the roots to dry and crumble and for sunlight to ripen the skins. it’s sometimes recommended that the tops of onions are bent over before they have fallen naturally. this seems to appeal to excessively tidy gardeners who like to have their onions ‘on parade’ in neat rows. i never do this; not only does it seem unnecessary, but i feel it may hinder the drying process and risk damaging the tissues near the neck of the onion where rots often begin.

high and dry getting onions thoroughly dry, especially at the neck, is the key to good storage. i complete the drying process in the greenhouse, laying

the bulbs out on the staging for two to three weeks. if you don’t have a greenhouse or sufficient space, setting the bulbs out in a sunny space, ideally lifted off the ground on a pallet or similar to aid quick drying after rain, can also work. do not on any account cut off the foliage; as with bending this can set off rots. Just let the leaves wither naturally. also, do not remove too much of the outer skin from the bulb; naked onions do not store well! once you have the onions crispy dry, making especially sure that there is no moisture left in the necks, it is time to think about how to store. i plait mine in the manner of the legendary cycling ‘onion Johnnies’, tying the top of the plait with string and hanging from nails on an outside wall in a covered area. this ensures they stay dry but have a good airflow. Keeping off the rain and some ventilation are vital to prevent rotting or sprouting. Be careful if storing in an enclosed shed or garage as this may be too stuffy or give rise to condensation. Best of luck!

Quick question... are you into bees? if you are, and the dream of keeping bees seems like something that happens to an alternate reality version of yourself, you're wrong. that's because, for just £10 for the whole year, you can rent bee keeping space at Carr allotments and also receive bee keeping support. Bees are so very important to our natural environment that City of york Council, backed by the green lord mayor dave taylor, is getting bee-hind an initiative to improve bee numbers. imagine it; all the honey you can eat, and finally a legitimate reason to wear all that bee keeping equipment you bought on eBay. n To find out more, call 553399.

Pretty soon the summer will be over and the pond keeper’s thoughts should turn to the season to come. autumn is still a time to enjoy your pond but there are a few things you should do to make sure that it is in good shape for the winter and for next year. when the leaves start to fall they can get into your pond and sink to the bottom. there they will turn into a layer of brown, smelly sludge that can look unpleasant but will also serve to add to the algae problems you’ll face next spring and summer.

if you don’t cover your pond then do your best to get the leaves out, using a net while they are still floating. if it is the best solution is to make sure that too late for that then the sludge and the leaves don’t even get into your leaves can be removed with a pond pond. if you have a raised pond then vacuum before they do any damage. you should be safe but look out for take a look at your pond plants and overhanging trees and cut off any dying leaves and stems cut those back. for and watch out for more as the rest of us a for advice call: autumn passes. net that covers the pond is the easiest way to stop them.

s’ your attention mum of two mya ‘grab grabbing issue. to talk about her son’s my son, Shay, is currently going through the lovely stage of grabbing objects and declaring them ‘mine’. in scenes reminiscent of the seagulls in finding nemo, i struggle not to giggle at his new found love of declaring things his own, but when he’s playing with other children it’s not so funny. i’ve searched far and wide for advice on what to do when your little one starts to grab, so without further ado, here’s what i’ve learned: • People can often label children who grab as strong willed or selfish, but it’s not always the case. Children who tend to grab can be sweet and thoughtful, and grabbing is often a symptom of tension. • If your little one is a grabber don’t wait until you have to step in to prevent a blow up.

it’s best to beat them to the punch. try and pay attention to his interactions and remain warm and friendly. • When they go to grab something from another child, swoop in and stop their hand before they can grab it. talk to your child as warmly as you can. Say something like, “that’s alice’s right now. She’ll be finished with it in a while.” offer eye contact. • If the child is able to make relaxed eye contact with you, and can decide to move on to something else to play with, he’s okay for now. • If the child squirms, runs away, or has a paddy, stay and reassure them that it will be their turn soon, and that you will wait with them. they’ll use the limit you’ve set to offload frustration or sadness. there are so many underlying feelings that could be causing his inability to be thoughtful of other children. • Listen to them while they ofﬂoad their emotions, you should be able to tell what the underlying feelings are. as you listen try and undo the power these feelings have over their behaviour.

reassure your little one that you’re on their side by explaining you will wait with them. after a hearty cry you should see a notable difference in your child’s ability to play nicely. if they didn’t have a proper cry then there may still be some tension to get rid of. let them finish the job they started with the support of an understanding and thoughtful adult.

i was introduced to this wonderful poem by denise thompson, manager of a wishing well Care home. If a child lives with criticism, he learns to condemn. If a child lives with hostility, he learns to ﬁf ight. If a child lives with ridicule, he learns to be shy. If a child lives with jealousy, he learns to feel guilty. If a child lives with encourage ment, he learns conf idence. If a child lives with tolerance, he learns to be patient. If a child lives with praise, he learns to appreciate. If a child lives with fairness, he learns just ice. If a child lives with security, he learns to have faith. If a child lives with approval, he learns to like himself. If a child lives with acceptance and friendship, he learns to f ind love in the worl d.

Weird telly his birthday, and memories of Button moon, rainbow, he-man, and the thunder Cats came flooding back. yes; child of the eighties, baby! however, thanks to the seemingly in-exhaustive list of shows on netflix, i often find myself sitting with my children in the living room (or by any number of tablets in any number of rooms) watching something bat-poop mental. Here are some of the most strange:

mia and me

howard mosley-Chalk is a father and a husband. But more importantly he is a man. these are his (un)manly words. often someone will ask me, “did you see that thing on tV last night?” to which i have to reply, every time, “no, i don't watch tV.” Brows tend to wrinkle at my response, but i manage to quell the rage of the growing lynch mob by explaining that we do indeed own a tV, but it isn't connected to an aerial or satellite box. what it is connected to (and try to keep up here, granddad) is a roku, which gives us access to internet telly like netflix, youtube, and amazon.

that is the way it's always been for as long as i've been a parent, so asking what i think about this series of Big Brother, or if i'd seen that advert for that thing, is a complete wast of time.

i heart the 80s But before this month's column turns into yet another 'look how alternative i am' sort of thing, what i really wanted to discuss was modern kids' tV. i was reminded of the kind of stuff i used to watch when my sister bought my son a toy of danger mouse's car for

girl recently appeared in game of thrones. and yes, she took her top off. it's made it really hard to watch.

pocoyo if we are to believe narrator Stephen fry (i know, right?) it's pronounced PoCoy-yo, and features the adventures of a small, largely mute, boy who hangs around in a completely white world with a duck and large pink elephant. there are also aliens and trans-dimensional portals. rainbow never had those.

paW patrol

it's about an american girl who goes to a school in italy which is actually called the 'Prestigious international Boarding School' (no joke), who, when she taps her watch, gets transported to a computer-generated land of fairies and dragons and turns into character that looks nothing like the human actor. oh, and that same

this one really gets me. imagine living in a seaside town with zero infrastructure, where all emergency situations are responded to by a ten year old and his pet dogs. that's Paw Patrol, where the dogs can all talk and have specific tasks, like one that handles all the fires, and one that does recycling. Because in an emergency you need someone to sift through your rubbish. i could seriously write about this damn show all day.

team umizoomi again, imagine yourself in a world where emergencies are handled– not by dogs this time – but by tiny

& ruby does the same – might as be called 'max is awesome, ruby is a buzz-kill.'

the day my butt Went psycho! i'm not joking, that's what it's called. it's set in a world where everyone's bums have become self-aware and separated from their human hosts. that's all you really need to know, except that a premise like that would never have been used on Button moon. despite the name.

M: 07913 581967

So there you go. have you seen any of those? what do you think; is modern kids' tV weirder than the kind of stuff you watched growing up? having said that, rainbow was essentially about an elderly guy who lived with glove puppets and a man in a bear outfit, while being constantly visited by the polyamorous threesome known as rod, Jane and freddy. So swings and roundabouts i suppose.

elementary, dear direCtor… taking the newly refurbished york theatre royal by storm this month, Sherlock holmes: the hound of the Baskervilles will give a comedic and slapstick twist to Sir arthur Conan-doyle’s classic tale of Victorian intrigue and horror. at the helm is director damian Cruden, he of railway Children and Panto fame. we tracked him down for a grilling inquisition. hello. who are you? i am damian Cruden, artistic director of york theatre royal, and i am directing/devising this production of the hound of the Baskervilles along with the actors and the rest of the creative team.

Sounds very interesting. what attracted you to bringing Sherlock holmes to the theatre royal stage? it’s an exciting story, well known and loved by many. the story was originally a serialisation in the Strand magazine, with the first instalment published in august 1901, so the

episodic nature of the piece lends itself to stage adaptation. the characters are well drawn and the plot is a real page turner, with many red herrings, strange events in the night time, and fantastically atmospheric locations. the whole package offers us the opportunity to tell a story in an inventive manner. it’s based on actual legends from devon, so it has a very genuine feel to it. it’s an intelligent piece, with interesting questions about what we believe in: science or the supernatural, logic or legend.

what can we expect from the show? it’s a ripping yarn. fast and furious, with a cast of characters that demand attention. we are all suspects, and no one is to be trusted, "not even the woman who tore your ticket madam”. there’s music and laughs, chases and supernatural goings on. a murderer is loose on the moors and the hound can be heard in the night time. the inhabitants of Coomb tracy by dartmoor are aware that something dark is afoot. Sir henry, the new lord Baskerville, is determined to live in Baskerville hall but will he survive or will the curse get him…?

the set is beautiful with fantastic costumes, wigs, beards, and moustaches. it’s a family show with plenty of thrills and spills, and just a bit daft... where did the big dog go?

Sold! what's it like being back on 'home turf' following the theatre's rejuvenation? it’s great to be back in the building, which offers all the benefits of the refurbishment for the audience and for performers, whilst retaining the beauty and feel of our wonderful theatre. it’s the oldest theatre in continuous use outside london, and the stage is now flat, which makes building sets and moving on

Blend primer over the lids and under the eyes. wipe creamy concealer underneath the eye area either with a brush or your finger. to create the curliness of lashes use an eyelash curler and hold it on the bottom of your lashes for 5 seconds. Blend a dark shade of eye shadow and use a small angled brush to drag the shadow along the top lash line. using a smudge brush, smudge the shadow at the crease of your eye and at the bottom lashes. now the colour is in place use a creamy black eye pencil and carefully drag it along the top and bottom lash line. now blend the highlighter across your brow bone and the inner corners of eyes. finish this look with any mascara.

Sherlock Holmes: The Hound of the Baskervilles (29th July-27th August) On his foggy Dartmoor estate, Sir Charles Baskerville is found dead with a look of bewilderment on his face and suspicious paw prints next to his body. Has the demon hound struck again? Can our legendary detective and his trusty sidekick solve the mystery of the Baskerville curse before anyone else comes to a grisly end? A cast of lightning-fast actors will turn horror into howling comedy full of quick fire wit, tongue-in-cheek humour and physical slapstick in this barking mad theatrical extravaganza.

THE WITCHES (1st-3rd September) This is the story of courage in the face of a fiendish plan hatched by the Grand High Witch and the most mischievous gathering of witches ever assembled.

Frederic celebrates the completion of his 21st year, which means he is now free to return to society and respectability, or so he thinks.

WHEN WE WERE MARRIED (9th-24th September) J B Priestley’s heartily entertaining northern comedy plays right into the hands of the remarkable Northern Broadsides – a company celebrated by audiences for its charisma, vitality and relish of language.

Scarborough

Joseph Rowntree Theatre

Visit www.jrtheatre.co.uk The Pirates of Penzance (22nd-24th September) Jorvik Gilbert and Sullivan Company present one of Gilbert and Sullivan’s most famous and popular hits. As a child, Frederic was apprenticed to a band of tender-hearted pirates, by his hard-of-hearing nurse, who misheard her master’s instructions. Today
