What better way to welcome you all, than with a smile? Mid-May to Mid-June happens to be National Smile Month, which is the U.K.’s largest and longest-running campaign, (forty years old this year), to promote good oral health. In a world which often seems to try its hardest at times to make us feel inadequate and sad, it’s worth remembering that it’s much easier to smile than it is

to frown. On page 60, you’ll find some interesting snippets about smiling. Remember … life is like a mirror- we get the best results when we smile at it.

May’s issue is hopefully going to fill you all with the joys of early summer. If you are getting ready for the holidays, our advice here on travelling to where delicious food is to be found may make you smile. I hope you enjoy the feature on Wherry’s Lane and how the increasing popularity of this area of Bourne is starting to make residents happier than before. Finally, I was pleased to hear that this month’s Hot Seat incumbent, James North, was once able to supply a customer with a pair of Size 19 shoes – “That was no small feat”, he assures us!

This beautiful time of the year sees new life re-emerge from winter, and hedgerows and gardens become a kaleidoscope of colour - but a word of warning to all of you outdoor types, “with more head than hair”. Richard Clevedon-Smith, 49, an Exeter bus-driver, had what might, to most of us, have been a “hair-raising experience”, when he is convinced that he was targeted by a huge, Eurasian eagle owl recently … because it mistook his shiny

bald head for an egg! Scary stuff, indeed.

Let’s hope that this month’s collection of articles and wise words from our knowledgeable contributors will help you make the most of what Bourne has to offer in the weeks ahead, with several new businesses happy to introduce themselves to the waiting public. In response to Claire, I’d add that, to me, a smile is like a tight pair of pants - it makes your cheeks go up.

Many thanks for the contributions from our usual suspects, and the positive and encouraging feedback we receive from you, our readers. Enjoy the read!

It is always a pleasure to meet people who clearly love their work, who show an abundance of passion and are convinced that they can provide an excellent result. To then consult a respected reviewing site on-line, and discover that six of the last seven customer reviews have been excellent, with maximum points awarded, makes it even more encouraging. The Nag’s Head in Bourne’s Market Place, is at present benefitting from these fabulous reviews. Yes, there have been some tweaks and changes recently, and they have bravely decided to change what they are about, around the same time as their new Head Chef, Leighton O’Callaghan, joined the team at The Nag’s Head.

The new strategy involves the provision of top quality, fresh food, locally-sourced wherever possible, expertly cooked and presented with great service. There will be new menus every six to eight weeks, and the emphasis is not so much on “going up-market”, with all the extra costs passed on to the diner, but instead, a reassuring “keep it all fresh, nothing out of a packet and all home-produced sauces, desserts, pickles and chutneys”.

Some of the new things they now offer are a “Pie and a Pint” night on a Tuesday, from 6pm, with a fabulous home-made pie plus a pint of real ale for only £10.95.

They have then gone on to introduce a separate menu for those looking for something a little more

special, with dishes such as honey-smoked pork belly, served with bubble and squeak and a pea puree, or slow roasted shoulder of lamb, served in a potato cake with roasted carrots and herb salad - (both taken from the “Something Special” Menu and priced at £12.95 each). They have kept their popular “Smokehouse Menu” with some updates and delicious twists on traditional dishes, cooked ‘low and slow’. The “Weekly Specials”, at £9.95 each or two for £18, are still there, whilst the “a la carte” choices, (six starters, seven “Pub Classics” and three “From the Grill”) continue the theme of variety without undue expense. An all-new Grill Night, using Herefordshire beef, is now running on Fridays, from 6pm. Two grills for £25, choosing from Rib-eye, Sirloin and T-Bone steaks, is sure to be a hit! They have even brought in an “Early Bird” deal for Wednesday and Thursday, between 5pm and 7pm, with two courses for only £12.95.The kitchen team consists of Leighton, talented sous-chef Ben Allen, and Oliver Thorley. Ben has a number of years’ experience and has worked his way through the ranks, sharingLeighton’s passion for food. The front-of-house team, led by Reece Johnson and Kayleigh Exton, are very enthusiastic and work hard to ensure that the eating-out experience at The Nag’s Head is second to none. The reviews, after only two months, are saying that the food and service are very good indeed!

Bourne Rotarian Joins Polio Fight in IndiaPresident of the Rotary Club of Bourne St. Peter, alan Kaye, and his wife, Maggie, recently returned from India, having joined a large group of volunteers in late February, to immunise thousands of young children against Polio. Over one hundred Rotarians from the U.K. were joined by Rotary International members from the U.S.A, Canada, Japan, Belgium and Luxembourg, to add their support to National Immunisation Day.

Based in Delhi and working in the slum areas, Alan and Maggie were kept busy administering

two simple drops on to the tongue of literally

thousands of youngsters, all aged less than five years,

and one barely a week old! Operating from a total of only five centres around the whole country, 172 million children were treated within the week. Although the country was

declared free from the disease in 2014, there is still the real risk of re-infection from the cases found in nearby Pakistan and therefore it is essential that high levels of immunisation are maintained.

Alan commented, “It’s important that we don’t lose momentum if we are going to beat this disease, and the large group of Rotarians travelling out this year illustrates that we are still as passionate as ever. If you want to make a difference, you could join your local Rotary club, or donate.”

To donate to “End Polio Now” or to join Rotary International in Great Britain and Ireland, visit www.rotarygbi.org or contact your local Rotary Club.

Bourne N.S.P.C.C. – Still Caring but Looking for New FacesThe Bourne branch of the N.S.P.C.C. came into existence in June 1973, and there are still two lady members in the town who have been there right from the beginning. Wonderful as that may sound, it also serves to highlight the concern shared by many of today’s members. In the words of Kath Dolby, “We’re all getting a bit long in the tooth and the branch needs some new faces!” Hopefully, as a result of the following words which Kath has written, there will be amongst our many readers a large number of you who will feel encouraged to contact the branch and volunteer to become involved in the fantastic work carried out by the Society, in trying to create a better world for the thousands of disadvantaged youngsters out there.

“We are essentially a happy and dedicated fund-raising group”, Kath explains, “who meet on

a monthly basis, in order to organise and then run a number of money-raising activities. We have Table-top Sales in Bourne Corn Exchange during the winter, and then Jumble Sales, Coffee Mornings, Plant Sales and Open Gardens throughout the rest of the year. Our main money-spinner is the Ukelele Evening, involving the brilliant Spalding Ukulele Orchestra, which is usually a sell-out. This year, it will be held on Lincolnshire Day, (October 1st.) Watch out for more information nearer the time in “Discovering Bourne”.

“Our next venture will be a Plant Sale in the Abbey Church Hall on Saturday May 14th, (10am to 2pm). There will be lots of interesting plants for sale, including bedding plants, and, of course, there will also be our now famous home-made soups, rolls and cakes for you to enjoy. We would be most grateful for any

contributions of plants please.

“Back to earlier request, our branch of the N.S.P.C.C. is looking for new members, anyone who could help us keep on with our most valuable work – maybe just for a couple of hours a month. I can assure you that you’d be made most welcome and would be alongside like-minded, friendly individuals”.

Please contact either myself, Kath Dolby, on 423210, or Audrey Durno on 426487, for more information. Alternatively, why not come and have a chat when you visit us at the Plant Sale on May 14th? See you there!


Making Bourne Dementia-FriendlyDementia awareness Week begins on May 15th. Cupcakes will be much in evidence and will be decorated with blue forget-me-nots – the Dementia Friendly Communities’ symbol.

The aim of this Alzheimer’s Society initiative is to make Bourne more dementia-friendly by encouraging local organisations and businesses to take one or two practical steps to help ensure people living with dementia can continue to live well in their local community.

In order to raise awareness, local business people will offer their customers forget-me-not cupcakes, encouraging them to think about how they can become more dementia-friendly.

Local Dementia Action Alliance chairman, Heather Gilling, said: “Everyone can play a part in enabling people with dementia to live well. For businesses, their actions can be as simple as making sure they communicate clearly – listening and using simple short sentences when speaking to someone with dementia.

“We would also encourage businesses to become a Dementia Friend, which involves an information session of less than an hour designed to help understand more about what it is like to live with dementia.”

A Dementia Friends session will be held as part of Dementia Support South Lincs’ celebration of Dementia Awareness Week. Its usual monthly coffee morning, at Bourne Corn Exchange falls on May 18th, starting at 10 am. An invitation is extended to all members of the community to go along to talk to the group members. They can also enjoy a taster session of Tai Chi – an activity that brings benefits for people with dementia – but is also fun! And of course there will be cupcakes to go with the coffee.

On Thursday May 19th, representatives from Dementia Support South Lincs and Dementia Action Alliance will have a pop up shop in Barclays Bank, Bourne and will be happy to have a chat with anyone who wishes to know more about helping Bourne become more dementia friendly.

More information about this initiative please contact heather Gilling, tel 01778 342421, email [email protected], or visit www.dementiaaction.org.uk or www.dementiasupportsouthlincs.co.uk

Words from the Mayor

My mayoral year is racing to a conclusion on May 24th, when the Bourne Town Council will elect my successor and our focus is on a last couple of outstanding charity events. Recently, I have hosted a Lancashire Night at the Corn Exchange which attendees seemed to enjoy, and a Beetle Drive, which between them raised more than £600.

By the time you read this, the Mayoress’s Tea Party on April 30th will be upon us and my last event will be a Quiz, once again at the Church Hall on Friday May 20th. The price is £6 a head which will include a Fish and Chip Supper and will start at 7.30 pm prompt. So that we can order the correct volume of food, we will need to assign tickets in advance, and they can be purchased from the Town Clerk on 426123, from Double and Megson in West Street, or from me on 425438. The quiz will be for teams of four, but we will accommodate individuals and couples on the night. Please bring your own drinks and glasses.

Our year as Mayor/ Mayoress has been most enjoyable. It has been a privilege for a mere Lancastrian who moved to Lincolnshire some twenty-six years ago (as a missionary!!!) to represent the lovely town of Bourne across the county (and some neighbouring counties too). From Louth and Gainsborough in the north to Peterborough in the south, and from Mablethorpe and Wisbech in the east to Melton Mowbray in the west, we have consistently sought to portray the town in a very positive light.

The people and businesses of Bourne have been very supportive to my charities. It has become increasingly clear that Bourne has a very caring community with literally dozens of voluntary organisations and hundreds of people giving their time and energy to support worthy causes, ensuring that Bourne is a better place because of their efforts.

The number of people we need to thank is huge and, with the indulgence of ‘Discovering Bourne’, I shall acknowledge the business assistance in June’s edition.

I wish to record now our very grateful thanks to all the individuals from many walks of life, too many to list, who have contributed to our year, by welcoming us into your company and helping and supporting our charity events.

A VERY BIG THANK-YOU TO YOU ALL.

One of Bourne’s most popular eateries celebrates eleven years in its Abbey Road premises this month. The unusual “recipe” of combining quaint tea-rooms with a clock supply, repair and renovation business has continued to prove very successful for owners Andrew Spencer and Kevin Taylor.

A recent innovation has been the supply of bakery products from local firm, “Compendium 74”. Their hand-made gourmet treats include macarons, cookies, biscuits and Duffins, (a hybrid Muffin & Doughnut speciality), and are available either to eat in or as a take –away.

“Time for Tea” lunches, between 11.30am and 2.00pm, Tuesday to Saturday, are very popular, and two main courses are yours for £16.

The full English breakfast, served all-day, is great value at £6.95, (to include toast and a drink.)

“Time for Tea” - Ticking along Nicely!

Coffees, teas and luxury hot chocolate drinks can be accompanied by a wide range of cookies, muffins, flapjack and banana loaf.

THE BOX ROOMboutique

Tel. 01778 393969 1 West Street , Market Place, Bourne PE10 9NB

“Small but perfectly formed”, it may be, but to owners Jayne Towers and Barbara Fox, their new venture, The Box Room Boutique, in Bourne’s Market Place is enormous, when compared with their usual means of selling to the public – two six foot long trestle tables! For five years, long-time friends and Bourne residents, Jayne and Barbara have been regularly selling their wares at Country Fairs, shows and events within a sixty miles radius of

Bourne, including Newark, Heckington, Peterborough and Skegness. Now,

since opening The Box Room on March 12th, their large range of handbags, jewellery and fashion accessories will fill the recently refurbished premises in town,

although Jayne and Barbara plan to continue with some of their

shows and Country Fairs, time permitting. They will now be able to direct to the Box Room the large number of customers who have asked them in the past whether or not they have a shop of their

own - you can only display so much on a couple of trestle

tables!

Besides the large range of colourful handbags, scarves, fashion accessories and jewellery, all aimed at any age from little girls through to their grandmothers, there is also a gentleman’s section, offering pure silk ties, dickie bows and cuff links. The small range of specialised wedding and prom- style jewellery, to include tiaras, is already proving popular, as the “season” gets under way.

Jayne and Barbara are deliberately keeping their merchandise within an affordable price range. By carefully selecting and purchasing quality stock, including something out of the ordinary at times, they feel confident that the public of Bourne will be able to pick up gift items and treats, often at a much more competitive price than at larger outlets. Early feedback from many satisfied customers has

The Box Room BouTique – (“The best things come in small premises”)

been universally positive, much of it alluding to this “good quality at a great price” aspect.

There is an encouraging turn-over of the stock, with new items appearing all the time. The present clutch of handbags, displayed along one wall and providing such a fantastic splash of vivid colours, has proved sufficient more than once to attract browsers in off the street. Jayne and Barbara are more than happy to just let you browse, with no pressure on to buy. They know that the contents of their little Box Room will soon be finding their way into your homes!

In his workshop on Meadow Drove, just outside of Bourne, there is one very hard-working, ambitious craftsman who, it seems, is forever juggling the demands placed upon him by customers, with the feasibility of projects, and whether or not there will ever be enough hours in the day to keep everyone satisfied! Those customers are, for the most part, people already known to Mark Davis, or who have been recommended to him by clients, for whom Mark has transformed parts of their home in the past.

Having re-located to South Lincolnshire three years ago, and now resident in Hanthorpe, Mark brings an excellent reputation and enthusiastic attitude to his business, as “The Fitted Furniture Specialist”. “Well over half of my work is from customers returning to me. I’ll have fitted some furniture in their home in the past, for instance, and now they’re wanting a bedroom planning and installing,” Mark explains. Nearly thirty years as a “City and Guilds- qualified”, sole-trading carpenter and joiner in his native Essex, followed a spell in the Royal

Engineers. Several “high-end contracts” on exclusive London developments

provided Mark with many years of experience, fitting out hotels and show-homes, but it was the Forces discipline, he thinks, that made Mark appreciate the value of trust and

honesty in his dealings with the public. “If you can be trusted to do a good job,

and on time, the public will come back … and they do”, he continues, with modesty.

Now, Mark is establishing a customer-base in his adopted town and he will soon be needing extra hands in his workshop to meet present demands. Modular fitted wardrobes, bedroom, bathroom and kitchen units provide

the backbone of his business, although he is ready, willing and more than

able to design, produce and then install anything his customer may be seeking,

to add value to their home. After an initial discussion with a customer, Mark will advise, produce detailed plans, manufacture the items and then install them, at a competitive price, and on time – hence his proud

assertion that he is indeed a “Specialist in Fitted Furniture”.

“Ne’er cast a clout till May be out“ says the old English proverb. May is a difficult month to judge, as the weather can vary between heat and mini-drought to late

frosts and heavy rain with strong winds. So you may have to protect young seedlings from the possibility of a late frost, or make sure they are well watered if we don’t have the rain. Either way, the weeds seem to spring up from nowhere, so make sure these are kept in check as they take precious nutrients away from young plants and seedlings. Also, May sees the appearance of a number of garden pests: aphids, slugs and snails will all be out in force and regard the new seedlings and young plants as a scrummy free meal. Action is needed! The sooner you spot the problem the better, to stop them getting to plague proportions. There is no way to get rid of all of these pests, but there are commercial insecticides both organic and chemical. I might try a few tricks I read about recently:

To get rid of aphids:

• Stir together 1 quart of water, 1 tsp of washing-up liquid and a pinch of cayenne pepper. Do not dilute before spraying on plants.

• Peppermint, spearmint and pennyroyal naturally deter aphids and ants, so plant (or put them in pots) throughout the vegetable plot.

• Plant flowers that attract the pest predators such as marigolds and nasturtiums.

Seeds to sow out this month are too numerous for me to list but a few include: carrots, beetroot, French beans, lettuce, spring onions, salad leaves and peas. Succession sowing ensures that you have a continual supply and not a glut of the same crop and is particularly good for salad crops which you need to cut and use immediately. Any seeds that were sown earlier will need thinning out: doing this when they are quite small lessens the disturbance to the surrounding plants.

Harden off young plants that have been grown under glass or indoors before planting out: wind damage can be very serious in this area, as much as any frost.

Indoors, you can sow chillies, courgettes and squashes, runner beans and cabbages. Towards the end of the month, when the risk of frost has gone, it is possible to plant the chillies, peppers, courgette, sweetcorn and aubergines plants that were started off indoors. This is the last chance to propagate artichokes, by dividing and taking offsets from established plants.

Factors affecting Property Prices – advice from Newton Fallowell1. Give your home “Kerb Appeal”This is estate agent talk for “make the front of your house look nice” and it will help you sell your property.

2. Boilers, electrics, plumbingSellers often take a financial hit when buyers start looking at things like the boiler. A tricky scenario occurs when buyers don’t want to buy a house with a boiler on its last legs and sellers don’t want to replace the boiler. One of you has to cave in, either get it fixed or come up with a price negotiation to cover the costs. The same applies to problems with things like damp, broken roof tiles and plumbing issues. Whether it’s better to get all the stuff done, which should increase the value anyway, or hope buyers don’t notice, you’ll have to decide.

3. Get rid of the kids’ roomsThe general rule is to paint over any rooms made up for the kids. Estate agents call it “neutralising” - neutral colours also make rooms appear bigger.

4. ImprovementsIt goes without saying that new kitchens/bathrooms/extensions usually boost the value of a house.

5. The Waitrose effectApparently, we estate agents always let you know early if there’s a Waitrose nearby!

6. SchoolsBuy a house near a good school and you could benefit. Being near to one that is rapidly improving could help your sell-on value increase.

7. Make sure it doesn’t smellBuyers are put off by smells like animals and stale cigarettes, so take action if you’ve got people coming to view.

8. Live in a Market TownPrices in market towns are rocketing.

9. Live by the seaTricky where we are, but being close to the beach boosts home prices.

10. Live in an odd numberAccording to a survey by Zoopla, odd numbered homes are worth about £500 more than even numbered one. Why? No idea.

11. Other developmentsIf you’re buying, it’s a good idea to look at what may have permission but not necessarily be built yet. A planned development could significantly change the character and tone of your chosen area. Beware, too, of areas where there are lots of empty homes, as you don’t have any idea what may be done with them.

12. Look out for the dreaded Japanese KnotweedApparently, if buyers spot this invasive plant, either in your garden, or neighbouring gardens, it dulls their interest somewhat. It’s not easy to get rid of, so the advice is to get an expert in.

Cloudy2Clear Announce Trusted Trader PartnershipConsumer champions Which? have now joined the thousands of customers who recognise that Cloudy2Clear Windows really are a business that you can TRUST. The company which specialises in repairing windows which are steamed up, broken or damaged by replacing the panes – not the frames has received the coveted ‘Which Trusted Trader’ status after going through a rigorous accreditation process entirely focussed on customer service. Group Managing Director Marcus McGee believes that Which? have endorsed Cloudy2Clear’s long standing company policy of delivering the highest standards possible

But it’s not just about saving people money, although that obviously helps. Whilst a number of tradespeople perhaps don’t focus on customer care as much as they should do, we make sure we turn up when we say we will, do the job the customer requires and leave their house as clean as a whistle. Locally Cloudy2Clear service Bourne, Morton, Dyke, Haconby, Kirkby Underwood, Thurlby and Northorpe areas and manager Mark Sherwood

agrees that this approach is a major factor in his success. ‘The truth is that it’s not just the personal satisfaction that I get from doing a good job but also it makes good business sense. I get a huge amount of business from friends and family of people I’ve done work for, which just goes to show how much a little bit of effort is appreciated as both my customers and, obviously a body as nationally important as Which? now recognise.’ So, if your windows are steamed up, broken or damaged give Mark a call for a free quotation on 0800 61 21 118 and he’ll be happy to help!

| Consumer AdviceBy Eileen Le Voi www.safelocaltrades.com

Secure your garden against green-fingered thievesAs the fine weather settles in and the gardening bug bites, the temptation and opportunities for green-fingered thieves grow faster than weeds in the driveway.

However, we can all take some simple precautions to protect our garden and possessions, particularly during weekends or summer holidays, when the home is empty.• Take a walk around your garden and check things that may be appealing to a thief - an unlocked back gate or shed (particularly if the shed contains expensive garden tools / machinery or bikes).• Get a reputable locksmith to secure gates and sheds.• Lock away ladders or anything which could be used to gain entry to your home.• CCTV surveillance will allow you to view your garden and any unwelcomed activity from your home.• Install some sensory / outdoor lighting.• Alarm the garage to provide additional security or think about installing garage roller shutter doors.• If your fencing is flimsy, broken panels could provide easy access to intruders, so consider investing in some new and improved fencing or panels.• If you are going away, even for the weekend – lock any back or side gates or other entrances to the garden to limit access.• Pack away out of sight any garden tools or equipment; even if you take a break from cutting the front lawn, keep your mower out of reach of opportunist thieves.• Secure expensive plants with wire pegs dug into the ground around the root ball.• Use a security pen to mark valuable items, like garden furniture, ornaments or trampolines, with your postcode.• Consider defensive planting like prickly hedges or shrubs.• Join a local Neighbourhood Watch Group – where you and your neighbours can look out for each other (see www.ourwatch.org.uk to find your local group)When thinking about having any security, garden maintenance or crime prevention work carried out in your home and / or garden, always use someone reputable and trustworthy.

Body Shape? Let our Ladies Gym RENU it for You!

| Health by Claire Saunders, Renu - Health, Beauty & Fitness

CHANGE THE SHAPE OF YOUR BODY – 30 MINUTES AT A TIME

32

BOOK YOUR FREE TRIAL TODAY

“ I was apprehensive at the start as I’ve never been one for the gym, but six weeks in, the results speak for themselves. I’m really

enjoying it, the staff and support is second to none.”

It’s never too late to make a change to your body. Excess weight, cellulite, skin conditions and slack or saggy skin can take the fun out of enjoying the sunny days ahead.

The right diet and exercise regime can make a drastic difference in your skin tone, body shape and confidence.

Muscles create tone in the body, and they degenerate over time,

so it really is a case of “use it or lose it”. Once your muscle tone has diminished, skin looks saggy and we lay down more body fat. Regular exercise will increase your metabolic rate to aid weight loss, increase circulation to improve skin tone and cellulite, and give you a burst of energy and radiance. You don’t need to be an athlete; thirty minutes, three times per week in our ladies gym gives an average loss of eight pounds and eight inches.

Dairy, wheat, sugar and caffeine can all contribute to skin conditions and/ or bloated ness. Become your body’s detective, and see how it reacts when you take one of these out of your diet for a week. You may be surprised with the results!

If you would like a free trial at our ladies-only gym, please call us on 01778 423923

Does the thought of fetching out your summer wardrobe fill you with dread? Body parts that have been safely covered up over the winter have nowhere to hide, once flimsy fabrics replace chunky knits.

We’re famously a nation that doesn’t like fuss, but new statistics from the British Acupuncture Council reveal that, when it comes to pain, nearly half of Britons just ‘grin and bear’ it.

Why “grin and bear it”?Try acupuncture - advises

registered acupuncturist, Tina King

According to the report, released to mark Acupuncture Awareness Week in March, almost three in ten exercise more now than they did ten years ago, but more than half say they’ve been injured during sport in the past, and a third claim to have never recovered from their injuries.

To overcome a sporting injury, almost three in five people take oral painkillers, and nearly a third turn to ice and heat packs, compared to just 11% who opt for traditional acupuncture.

Many people put up with pain when they don’t need to. Often, discomfort from musculoskeletal problems can be alleviated with the correct identification and treatment -one of those options could be acupuncture.

Traditional acupuncture is an evidence-based therapy, shown to help reduce pain and swelling, increase blood flow to promote recovery and help restore movement.

Acupuncture is one of the oldest documented systems of

medicine, based on principles which go back nearly two thousand years. It involves placing fine, sterile needles at specific points on the body to trigger a healing response; it is believed that pain or illness can occur when integral systems are damaged or interrupted. Acupuncture aims to identify the root cause of a problem, as well as addressing the symptoms.

Most people who attend for the first time are a little nervous, so Tina will take

a full medical history and explain the treatment process. Despite acupuncture’s widely recognized health benefits, statistics also show that one in five people say they are too scared to try it because of the needles. It is worth pointing out, that acupuncture needles are as fine as a human hair and are, more often than not, painless on insertion.

To ensure a high standard of safety, it is important to find a fully qualified and insured acupuncturist registered with the British Acupuncture Council.

The Olympic swimmer, Rebecca Adlington is an advocate of acupuncture and you can hear her talk about her experiences with acupuncture and surgery, following an injury, at www.acupuncture.org.uk.

Tina is always happy to talk to you in person or by phone about what acupuncture might be able to help you with, under no obligation.

| Spotlight on Wherry's Lane

The narrow lane between North Street and Burghley Street is named after local businessman William Wherry who built the house and shop at

No 17 North Street in 1840 but by the late 20th century it had become neglected and untidy and defaced by litter and graffiti.

An ambitious scheme by South Kesteven District Council to rejuvenate the lane was announced in 2010 and finally opened in the summer of 2014 at an estimated cost of £2.2 million.

Also involved was the old red brick grain warehouse in Burghley Street purchased for £350,000, together with workshops and two houses (£285,000) and the old Masonic lodge (£375,000) although these buildings were demolished to make way for the final development which included a complex of seven shops and 14 apartments.

The entire area has been attractively landscaped and seat-ing installed while with vacant land left over on the north side awaits further development in the future.

The changing face of Wherry’s LaneLeft: Wherry’s Lane before devel-opment in 1999.Below: Wherry’s Lane today

By Rex Needle

Since last summer, the skaters, BMX and scooter riders of the area have been lucky in that a shop dedicated to their sport and associated apparel has

been doing a brisk trade right in the heart of town, on Wherry’s Lane. Owner, Rolando Wright, is now looking to ensure that Session 365 is perceived to be also a family-ori-ented outlet, where it’s not just for the lads. Girls and their mums can browse the rails of the shirts and tops, as well as a most popular recent addition, the versatile back-pack, of which there is an impressive range.

The walls and floor of the shop are more well-stocked than ever. Various components, alongside helmets and t shirts, hoodies, beanie hats and snapbacks are in abun-dance.

Courtney Marvel, co-owner of The Beauty

Box in Wherry’s Lane, certainly believes in maximising her skills wherever possible, in order to provide a better service for her increasing number of clients, as her beauty salon heads towards its first anniversary next month. Extra intensive training has meant that Courtney has recently become a “Pro Stylist”, and within the next few months, her intention will be to progress to “Master Stylist” status, once new techniques will have been mastered.

To improve your own skillset voluntarily is always to be welcomed, and is an indication that this young lady has serious ambitions. Another significant improvement since “Discovering Bourne” last paid her a visit in March, has been the way in which the HD range has been re-branded as pro stylist with “High Definition Brows”. The impressive new logo and generally more up-market product-range will no doubt help Courtney and her clients. With the summer getting closer, the availability of a good, top quality spray tan service becomes more important by the day. At The Beauty Box, the St Tropez range is available, and “The Ultimate Tan” could be yours.

As we slowly start to head towards the summer, Courtney is eager to remind existing and potential clients that she will be offering “Prom packages” during July, alongside a “Bridal package” for when those wedding bells start to chime – some time very soon!

Maxey Hair is owned and run by local woman, Sandra Upton. Sandra had always wanted to work in hair since being a child and worked at

Top Knot in Peterborough as a teenager but, after getting married and having her first son, she entered the nursing profession, and remained as a nurse, both in hospitals and in the community for forty years, eventually managing sev-eral local care homes. On reaching sixty, Sandra decided that she wanted to come out of nursing, and realise her dream of running her own salon and so, with the support of her husband, Maxey Hair was opened late in 2015. With its relaxed atmosphere and caring attitude to every customer, it is going from strength to strength.

Working alongside Sandra now is Kelly Stoffel. Kelly has many years’ experience working in salons locally. Origi-

nally wanting to be an air hostess, she became a hairdresser instead, and completed a course at Stamford College in 1991/92. Upon leaving, she worked at Bojangles for about four years, then in Market Deeping

Maxey Hair – Now with Stylist Kelly at “Designer Group” for two years. This was followed by three years at Amici in Langtoft, seven years at Antony James in Peterborough and then four years for Sloanes Hair and Beauty in Uppingham. Whilst working for all of these salons, she has enjoyed all aspects of hairdressing and can offer specialist skill and advice on colour and wedding hair.

H A I R

TIP OF The MONTh

When having a new hair style, always ensure you have a thorough consultation with your hairdresser and ensure you explain fully how you want the finished look to be. If possible take a picture along to help your Stylist to achieve your desired finish.


Now well-established on Wherry’s Lane after four years on North Street,

Carol Danylew’s main business is still to make alterations and repairs to all types of garments, specialising in wedding and bridesmaids’ dresses, along with prom gowns. With the “prom season” just around the corner, it is worth noting that Carol’s Sewing Services will again be on hand to prepare you for your big event of the year.

Due to circumstances beyond Carol’s control, however, there will unfortunately be times over the next few months when she will not be around to carry out the requests of her many customers. For that reason, she has taken on a very experienced assistant, Yvonne, whose career as a seamstress goes back to even include time at “Cute Lingerie”, (Remember the “knicker factory” on what is today’s Baldwin Grove?)

We, at “Discovering Bourne”, all send Carol our very best wishes for the future.

Carol’s Sewing Services – “Business as Usual”

uly 4th 1996 and Wherry’s Lane, Bourne becomes home to the Bourne Big Wash Launderette. Almost twenty years (and an enormous quantity of sparkling

clean items) later, husband and wife team, Simon and Katie Rowlands are still providing a very popular, reliable and professional service to the families and businesses of the area who return on a regular basis. Simon has been in charge for fourteen years and explains how this time of the year will be amongst his busiest, as bed linen, quilts, duvets and blankets, curtains, rugs and associated household furnishings are given the “spring clean” treatment; this alongside his regular customers with their service washes.

The rows of industrial washing and drying machines have seen a huge range of products pass their way, including parachute canopies, boat sails and marquee linings. Simon is proud of the continuing contract he has with Stamford-based, prestigious wedding and events company, Lily King, whose vast number of chair covers are regularly given the Big Wash treatment.

It is curious how a tragedy can sometimes lead to a happy and successful outcome, as the experience of Michelle Meynell will serve to confirm. As Funeral

Director and Manager of the Bourne and Deeping branches of R.J. Scholes, Michelle should perhaps feel more empathy than most, when dealing with and consoling grieving people who have come to her to make funeral arrangements for their loved ones.

Within the space of a few years, Michelle had the loss of her eleven-year-old handicapped son followed by her husband, succumbing to cancer. Her mother was soon to develop motor-neurone disease and her death occurred within eighteen months. Through her meeting an excellent Funeral Director, who was able to offer not only comfort, but also massive inspiration, Michelle decided to change her career path and so became a qualified Funeral Director. Fifteen years later, after spells in Oakham, Melton Mowbray, Corby and Leicester, Michelle took over at Bourne, following the sad passing of the popular Kevin Hicks, last May.

R.J.Scholes Funeral Service is part of the Co-operative Funeral Care and Central England Co-operative and,

R.J.Scholes Funeral Serviceas such, can offer, a personal service, and also call upon a large support network which a larger organisation can provide. Customers who are already with “The Co-op” can benefit, by using the expertise of Michelle’s team, from their Wherry’s Lane base.

That expertise includes all aspects of the full funeral service, taking all the necessary steps from the initial customer enquiry, following a death. Floral tributes can be arranged via the local florists, Stephanies, (with whom the present contract resides) and Joy of Flowers. Headstones and pre-paid funeral plans, along with a “24/7 care-line” and access to the on-site Chapel of Rest, out of hours and also at week-ends, are just a few of the ways in which R.J. Scholes endeavour to support those suffering the loss of a loved one. Prices are competitive and cater for everyone’s financial needs.

Michelle’s team comprises two newly appointed administrators; Sam King from Deeping, and Lisa Mawhinney, previously a receptionist at Bourne’s Hereward Medical Practice. The funeral service assistants are the vastly experienced David Fawcett, along with relative newcomer, Ben Smith.

The Other B.B.C. The Bourne

Business Chamber

Bourne Business Chamber (The Other B.B.C.) – April MeetingThe third Tuesday of the month saw another successful and well-attended meeting of the Bourne Business Chamber at its usual venue of Wake House.

Following a “meet and greet” of existing members and guests and a local news update, Emma Goldsmith, of local painting and decorating firm, K. Goldsmith and Daughters, gave a heartfelt and interesting talk on how their business started, and how it is now going from strength to

strength. Emma also updated the club on her planned trip to The Gambia in November, to assist in the repair of a local school.

Belinda Smith, a family law specialist, gave members an entertaining and informative insight into the benefits of collaborative law. Assisted by other local solicitors, Belinda and her guests used role-play to show how collaborative law can help make a very difficult situation somewhat less painful

and stressful for all parties concerned. A collaborative approach offers a refreshingly different option to the traditional court process, when a relationship breaks down.

The meeting closed at 8pm. The next Bourne Business Chamber meeting take place on Tuesday May 17th and any potential new members wishing to join us should contact the Club via the website (www.bournebusiness.co.uk).

43 MAY 2016 Bourne Business ChamBer

This month sees a special birthday for one of Bourne Business Chamber’s key members, Joanne Dolby, as she can now look back on ten very successful years in business. Joanne’s Bookwork Services provide a full range of bookkeeping services, tailored to suit specific business needs. Smaller businesses and the self-employed can benefit from owner Joanne’s assistance, with over sixteen years’ experience in keeping accurate records for both taxation and V.A.T. purposes.

Joanne is flexible and can come to your premises to work with your own software, or work with clients from her office in Dyke. She works with Excel, Sage and Quickbook and does V.A.T, P.A.Y.E, C.I.S. and Self-Assessment.

One of Joanne’s clients, Ray Pawlett, of Ki-Ways, comments, “I have known Joanne for many years now and know her as a person who shows integrity and honesty. I therefore had no hesitation to let her do my bookwork. Now that Joanne does this work for me, I can also add efficiency and patience to her long list of virtues. I have always been pleased with her work, how she delivers it and her eye for detail.”

Good bookkeeping practices benefit your business by helping you manage and control your finances, plan for future growth and ensure that your accounts are completed more efficiently. Outsourcing your bookkeeping can give you more time to focus on adding value to your business.

Joanne says, “I can go to a client, either on a weekly, fortnightly or monthly basis, or, alternatively, they are welcome to drop

WHOSE FAULT IS IT?Primitive as it may seem, you still cannot get divorced in this country without blaming the other party for a matrimonial fault, unless you have been separated for a minimum of two years.

There have been many rumblings behind the scenes for a long time to try and reform this situation and at long last, there is a Private Members’ Bill on No Fault Divorce, making its way through the House of Commons.

The family lawyers association, Resolution, which represents 6,500 family lawyers, has got its weight behind supporting the Bill, which would have the effect of not needing to prove one of the spouses committed adultery, or behaved unreasonably, which requires all sorts of allegations of nasty conduct in order to satisfy the divorce criteria.

The latest figures show that 60% of divorce cases were based on adultery or unreasonable behaviour although, when interviewed by YouGov last year, 27% of those who cited adultery or unreasonable behaviour, admitted this was not the real reason for the divorce, but they chose it as the easiest technical option. In other words, thousands of couples every year are having to fabricate blame in order to meet current divorce law requirements.

The objective is to change the law so that a divorce can be progressed “where one or both of the parties to a marriage give notice that their relationship has broken down irretrievably and one or both of them are still of that view six months later”.

It sounds simple enough, so we will see how it goes in the next few months.

The Lifetime iSA

From April 2017, savers aged between 18 and 40 can open a new Lifetime ISA (“LISA”). Announced during the March 2016 Budget, the LISA is, according to HM Treasury, designed to help young people to save “simultaneously… for a first home and for their retirement, without having to choose one over the other”.

Any amount up to £4,000 can be saved into a LISA each year, between the ages of 18 and 50. LISA savers will receive a 25% annual government top-up, to a maximum of £1,000 per year. A LISA that is opened at the age of 18 offers the opportunity for 32 years of saving and bonuses. If you save the annual maximum of £4,000 per year over 32 years – a total of £128,000 before any capital growth or interest is included – this could net a total government bonus of £32,000.

The money saved into a LISA may be used towards a deposit on a first home worth up to £450,000, or can be saved until the age of 60 to fund retirement. Any contributions to a

LISA will sit within the overall annual ISA allowance of £20,000 for the tax year 2017/18.

LISAs are limited to one per person rather than one per household; therefore, two first-time buyers will both receive the government bonus when they buy a home together. Meanwhile, the “Help to Buy ISA” will remain open to new savers until November 30th 2019, and open to new contributions until 2029. Savers can save into a “Help to Buy ISA” and a LISA, but may only use the government bonus from one account to purchase their first home. If you make any withdrawals before the age of 60 that are not for the purpose of buying a first

home, you will lose the government bonus and incur a 5% penalty charge.

If you use your LISA to fund your retirement, you can withdraw all the money after your sixtieth birthday, free of tax. In comparison, when you withdraw money from your pension pot, only 25% of that sum is tax-free. Nevertheless, a LISA is not necessarily a substitute for saving into a pension scheme. Pension contributions enjoy significant tax breaks; moreover, employees benefit from their employer’s contributions to their workplace pension scheme, so take expert advice before making any decisions.


how I got startedWhen I discovered “Forever Living Products”, I could see an exciting new career path which could provide me with an income to replace my existing salary. I started by using the products myself and, by sharing the benefits of them with friends and family, I was able to steadily build a customer base, and began to build a team, coaching them to grow their own businesses too. I have now gained a better work-life balance as I continue to grow my business, learning some new skills, whilst also having lots of fun and making new friends. I am gaining the most satisfaction from being able to help people become healthier, through the products.

Why are the products suitable for a home-based business?Forever’s wide product range includes drinks, supplements, skincare and personal care - popular everyday consumable and repeatable products that everyone uses, needs and wants. All have a sixty day money-back guarantee and a range of accreditations, including “animal friendly”.

how did I learn the skills to do what I am doing?I had no previous business experience having worked in the food industry and education, but this didn’t matter as full award-winning training and support are provided. I also found that having a personal mentor, on hand to guide me with activities I was unfamiliar with, was very reassuring.

you are in business for yourself but never by yourself. What I also found attractive was being able to build the business around part-time supply

❱ THE TEcHNoLoGY SITE BY TAFF LOVESEY, LITES PC


Microsoft are getting very aggressive in trying to ‘persuade’ users to move to Windows 10, and this will get worse as we approach the July deadline for a free upgrade for Windows 7 and 8 users. Many users are happy with their Windows version, so let’s look at how we can get rid of these nagging messages.

Hide the Windows 10 upgrade icon: If, at the bottom right of your desktop, you see the Windows 10 upgrade icon, then you can hide this by clicking on the small triangle on your task bar. You’ll then see a list of notifications. Find GWX and change it to Hide icon and notifications.

Remove the Windows 10 upgrade from Windows Update The Windows 10 update prompting is actually delivered to you via the standard Windows Update process that most of us are familiar with. It is actually update KB3035583 and, as an update this can be removed.

• Go into Windows Update (from all Programs in Windows 7) • Next click on Update History. Now scroll down to find KB3035583. • click the Installed Update button at the top of the window, find KB3035583 again • Right click (ie; press right mouse button on it) and select Uninstall

Change your Windows Update settings to hide ‘Recommended Updates’ The final piece is to now change your Windows Updates so that it only suggests ‘important’ updates (ie; essential ones). To do this go back into your Windows Update screen. click on change Settings and then untick the box that selects ‘Give me recommended updates’. This will prevent the KB3035583 from reloading.

The process above will work in most cases but becomes ineffective if Microsoft change the upgrade to a mandatory (important) upgrade rather than a recommended one. It wouldn’t surprise me if they took this step at some point in the future.

Another method, as reported by a national magazine recently, is to use an application called GWX Control Panel to block the Windows 10 update process. This is available online from http://ultimateoutsider.com/downloads/. This is reported as being effective but I cannot vouch for it as I have never used it, preferring the manual method detailed above.

“Set in Stone” specialise in the design and manufacture of both traditional and contemporary memorials and headstones. Based on Pinfold Road in Bourne, they supply a wide range of styles and designs, from small memorials and simple granite headstones to kerbed memorials and beautiful white marble headstones and hand-carved figures.

The owner of this family business is the vastly experienced Lorraine Cunningham. “Losing a loved one is a difficult time,” she says, “but having a personally-crafted memorial stone, made by us, can help a little with the pain and grief. With specially chosen words, the headstone can preserve special memories of the deceased – quite literally, set in stone”.

Personal touches on memorial stones can be sentimental, humorous, or may reflect the deceased person’s hobbies and interests. Besides the variety of fonts available, the stone can include drawings and engravings, subject to the regulations of the cemetery.

Granite is one of the most popular choices for the headstone. It tends to weather better than other types of stone and is easier to be kept clean. “Anyone seeking a headstone”, suggests Lorraine, “would be best advised to visit a cemetery, where the name of the manufacturer will be found on the back of the stone. That is how we get 95% of our work”.

Set in Stone – Headstones with that Personal Touch

Your Solicitor Could Help

Dementia is a disease of the brain, and some of the symptoms include loss of memory, mood changes and problems with communication and reasoning. There are many types of dementia and it can affect everyone differently. If you are worried that you, or someone close to you, may have dementia, then the Alzheimer’s Society say it’s important to talk about it.

Dementia can be scary and many people don’t know where to turn, so ….

How can your Solicitor help?• We are able to advise you and your family on legal and practical issues that can help make dealing with your personal, legal and financial affairs easier.

• One of the most important things you should think about is a Lasting Power of Attorney. This enables you to appoint who you want to deal with your finances and affairs or your health and welfare, when you become unable to do so.

• If you do not have a Power of Attorney, and you become mentally incapable of managing your affairs, then an application will need to be made to the Court of Protection who will appoint a Deputy on your behalf. This procedure is quite costly and can take up to six months to put in place.

• You should ensure that your will is up-to-date, and maybe discuss with your solicitor any possible ways of protecting your family’s inheritance from care-home fees.

• What about end-of-life care? Not everyone wants to think about their end-of-life care but, if you have strong feelings about it, a Living Will allows you to advise the medical profession and your family of your preferences regarding your end-of-life care and the refusal of certain medical treatment.

Dementia can turn your world upside-down but, by your sorting out your legal and financial affairs and putting them in order whilst you are able to, you ensure that in the future they will be dealt with in the way that you want.

| Legal Corner advice from Double and Megson

dementia awareness Week is the alzheimer’s Society’s annual awareness-raising campaign and takes place this year from May 15th – 21st. dementia awareness Week encourages people who are worried about dementia to confront their worries by addressing dementia directly and speaking to the alzheimer’s Society or their GP for information and support.

Travel CounsellorsT 01778 338530E [email protected]/clare.lockett

With us....it ’s personal

With so many destinations, and a world of exciting flavours to tempt your taste buds, it’s difficult to decide just where to start. Luckily I’m on hand to provide some culinary inspiration, so let me help you discover some wonderful foodie destinations.

This month and next, I’ll be taking you on a mouth-watering trip across parts of Europe, Africa and Asia, where not only the wonderful sights and the sounds of these five locations will astound you, but more importantly, the food will make it a trip to savour … in every sense of the word!

First stop … Granada, Spain There’s no such thing as a free lunch? Travel Counsellors beg to differ! We

For a chat about your upcoming travel needs, all built around the things you love most, call me on 01778 338530 at a time to suit you

Travel Counsellors know better than most that one of the best things about travelling is the chance to sample the local cuisine. Whether it’s the fresh, aromatic flavours of Vietnam, a delicious selection of Spanish tapas or the aromatic spices of a Moroccan tagine, there’s something to suit all palates.

love finding our customers the best bargains and travel tips, and this one is no exception. Granada is renowned for its wonderful tapas and it’s one of the few places left in Spain where you can sample it for free. Order a drink at one of Granada’s many bars or bodegas, and you’ll be given free tapas for each drink that you buy.

My Top Pick : Sample a full range of delicious small plates, such as marinated anchovies, delicious Portuguese style salt cod, goat’s cheese with honey or hummus with toasted sesame seeds.

Next … Vietnam Fancy an adventurous long-haul break? Then why not book your holiday to Vietnam with Travel Counsellors this

year? Perennially popular and rightly so, Vietnam is a diverse and beautiful country. Its cuisine is nothing short of incredible, thanks to the use of fresh ingredients and colonial influence, as found in the delicious Vietnamese ‘Banh Mi’ baguettes.

My Top Pick : No trip to Vietnam would be complete without sampling the national dish ‘Pho’. This delicious noodle soup consists of light beef or chicken broth, flavoured with fresh ginger, spring onions, flat rice noodles and delicate slivers of chicken, pork or beef.

| Golf tip by Darren Game, PGA Professional, Bourne Golf Studio

Read the time to help release the club head properly through impactThe dreaded “slice spinning shot” is caused by the club face pointing to the right of the direction in which the club is swinging through impact.

To help create a natural release of the club head and a straighter flying golf shot, try this exercise. Think of reading the time on your watch but, instead of wearing your watch on the outside of your arm (picture 1), have the watch on the inside of the wrist (picture 2). To read the time you must turn your arm outwards (picture 3) - exactly the same movement needed to release the club head through impact correctly. Most people train themselves to slice the ball when they read the time!! Do this exercise with,

or without your watch on your wrist for the next month, and train yourself to release the club head correctly through impact. The result will be straighter flying shots. This exercise can be done anywhere (even at work!)

BABeSIoSIS - AdVICe foR doG oWNeRS

Babesiosis is spread most commonly by ticks, but also occasionally in dog bites and blood transfusions. Babesia are protozoan parasites that attack red blood cells of dogs, causing them to break down (haemolysis) and this releases haemoglobin. This results in anaemia and jaundice. The incubation period is about two weeks, and dogs affected are usually very ill with a high fever, lethargy, red urine and anaemia and they often collapse. This can lead to organ failure.

We already recognise a similar disease called Autoimmune Haemalytic Anaemia(AIHA) which we diagnose on blood smear. Babesiosis often induces AIHA, so in future we will need to differentiate between these diseases.

Babesia can be quickly diagnosed on blood tests. There are PCR tests available that detect the presence of Babesia DNA, as well as often being visible on blood smear.

Most ticks in Europe are Babesia canis and will respond to treatment with Imidocarb Dipropionate and will recover over several weeks, if treated early. Some treated dogs can go on to be carriers for the disease and get a more chronic form of the disease later on. Many dogs will need hospitalisation and some may require blood transfusions and other fluid therapies.

For more information, please contact the surgery on 01778 422863.

Babesiosis has long been a disease seen only in Southern Europe, Asia and Africa. In the past, it has only been diagnosed in dogs returning to the UK from abroad but, recently, there has been a localised outbreak in Harlow in Essex prompting concerns that this may spread further through the country.

This disease is still extremely rare and localised in the UK. There have been no reported cases in Lincolnshire. The best control is to treat for ticks. Killing the ticks, in the first twenty-four to forty-eight hours after getting on to the dog, dramatically reduces the chance of contracting the disease, as well as reducing the spread. There are several good products on the market that can achieve this. Speak to your local vet for more information.

May 2, 2011 - U.S. Special Operations Forces killed Osama bin Laden during a raid on his secret compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan. The raid marked the culmination of a decade-long manhunt for the elusive leader of the al-Qaeda terrorist organization based in the Middle East.

May 5, 1961 - Alan Shepard became the first American in space. He piloted the spacecraft Freedom 7 which reached an altitude of 116 miles above the earth. Shepard’s success occurred twenty-three days after the Russians had launched the first-ever human in space, cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin, during an era of intense technological competition between the Russians and Americans, called the Space Race.

May 6, 1937 - The German airship Hindenburg burst into flames as it neared the mooring mast at Lakehurst, New Jersey, following a trans-Atlantic voyage. Thirty-six of the ninety-seven passengers and crew were killed, and the accident effectively ended commercial airship traffic.

May 7, 1915 - The British passenger ship Lusitania was torpedoed by a German submarine off the coast of Ireland, losing 1,198 of its 1,924 passengers, including 114 Americans. The attack hastened neutral America’s entry into World War I.

May 10, 1994 - Former political prisoner Nelson Mandela was inaugurated as president of South Africa. Mandela had won the first free election in South Africa despite attempts by various political foes to deter the outcome.

May 14, 1796 - Smallpox vaccine was developed by Dr. Edward Jenner, a Gloucestershire physician. He coined the term vaccination for the new

procedure of injecting a milder form of the disease into healthy persons resulting in immunity. Within eighteen months, 12,000 people in England had been vaccinated and the number of smallpox deaths dropped by two-thirds.

May 19, 1943 - Royal Air Force bombers successfully attacked dams in the German Ruhr Valley using innovative ball-shaped bouncing bombs that skipped along the water and exploded against the dams. The dams had provided drinking water for four million people and supplied 75% of the electrical power for industry in the area.

May 20, 1927 - Charles Lindbergh, a twenty-five year old aviator, took off from Roosevelt Field, Long Island, in the Spirit of St. Louis attempting to win a $25,000 prize for the first solo non-stop flight between New York City and Paris. Thirty-three hours later, after a 3,600 mile journey, he landed at Le Bourget, Paris, becoming an instant worldwide hero.

May 26, 1940 - The Dunkirk evacuation began in order to save the British Expeditionary Force trapped by advancing German armies on the northern coast of France. Boats and vessels of all shapes and sizes ferried 200,000 British and 140,000 French and Belgian soldiers across the English Channel by June 2nd.

May 28, 1961 - Amnesty International was founded by London lawyer Peter Berenson. Today, Amnesty International has over a million members in 150 countries, working to free prisoners of conscience, stop torture and the death penalty, and guarantee human rights for women.

| Police Patrol by Bourne’s Sergeant 503 Rick Mosley | In the Hot Seat

He’s used to fitting shoes but, this month, James North, head of the North Shoes family business, tries out the ‘Hot Seat’ for size!

James, 44, lives with wife, Claire, and children Jasmine (11) and Freddie (10), in Bourne.

He’s extremely proud of the fact that he’s the fifth generation at the helm of North Shoes. Only two other independent shoe businesses in the UK can better that.

North Shoes was launched by James’s great, great, grandfather, William, in 1876 and still trades today from the original premises in North Street, Bourne.

James, who holds Society of Shoe Fitters qualifications, has built up the business, by adding three other branches, in Peterborough, Stamford and Cambridge.

Born in Stamford, he was educated at Kirkstone House School, Baston, and studied his A Levels at Stamford College, before taking up a three-year management trainee course with Newey and Eyre. His first role for them was as a manager in Bedford.

By 2006, when James took up the post of Managing Director at North Shoes (as his father, Roger, neared retirement), he was Senior Business Manager for Greater Manchester with “Electric Center”.

James loves push-bikes and is a cycling fanatic. He’s also a rugby fan and supports Northampton Saints – but his greatest passion is spending time with his family.

1 WHERE WERE You boRN, ANd WHAT IS YouR FAvouRITE MEMoRY oF YouR CHILdHood?

I was born in Stamford and my favourite childhood memories are of holidays with my grandparents and I think that’s why I love spending time with my family and doing family things.

2 WHo HAS HAd THE gREATEST INFLuENCE oN YouR LIFE ANd WHY?

That would be my grandfather FJ (Frederick John) North. He was the third generation of the family and led the company for forty years. He was a true gent.

3 WHICH TWo CHARACTERS, ALIvE oR NoT, WouLd You MoST ENjoY SHARINg A MEAL WITH ANd WHY?

I’d love to be able to go back in time and meet my great, great grandfather, William, and my great granddad, Frank. They’re from the first two generations of the family and it would be brilliant to get them round a table together and talk to them about the early days and ask them questions about the business. William started it all and Frank guided it through the Great Depression – they’d have so much knowledge to hand down!

4 HoW WouLd You dESCRIbE YouRSELF IN oNLY FIvE WoRdS?

Loyal, Honest, Fun, Punctual, Driven.

5 IF THERE WAS oNE THINg WHICH You CouLd CHANgE AbouT bouRNE, WHAT WouLd IT bE ANd WHY?

I love Bourne and the people who live in and around it, but I think the town would benefit from a few more independent retail shops that would make it even more attractive to shoppers.

6 WHAT AdvICE WouLd You gIvE To A “SIxTEEN-YEAR-oLd You”?

This has been my philosophy and it has stood me in good stead throughout my life: Make sure, whatever you choose to do with your life, you enjoy it. I’ve met a lot of people about to start out in business who did not even know if they liked what they were doing – they were doomed to fail.

Sergeant Mosley’s Musings – Rogue Traders There have been some reports recently of possible rogue traders operating in the area. It is important to know that many traders who come to your door are honest, legitimate people but there are some with the intention of scamming you out of your hard-earned cash.

Rogue traders call on unsuspecting households, offering convincing deals to try to get you to agree to have work carried out. If you accept work from a rogue trader, you’ll pay much more than you intended … for very poor, unnecessary and sometimes dangerous work.

The usual type of work offered includes garden clearance, roofing work and tarmac drives. Those who accept work may well find the price increases or the work is left unfinished.

These simple tips can be found on the action Fraud website.

1. Don’t sign on the spot – if you are interested, ask them to come back, maybe when you have someone else with you, or you’ve shopped around.

2. Always check the trader’s identity. Never use the number on their card. Check to see if they are a member of a reputable trade body.

3. Be wary of special offers or warnings about your home - don’t get taken in by sales banter or high pressure selling techniques. Don’t be hurried into a decision, even if there is a discount.

4. Always shop around for the best price - check with other companies offering the same product first. Make sure the price and product is right for you.

5. Read the small print - always read documents carefully before you sign them and make sure you fully understand your rights.

6. Double check the facts - make sure you fully understand the total costs of the transaction.

7. Talk to someone you trust for a second opinion.

8. Don’t hand over a cash deposit – a reliable trader will never ask you to do this (even if they need materials). Never agree to go with a trader to the bank to take money out.

9. Think before you agree to a trader starting any work straight away – have a seven day cooling-off period.

10. Trust your instincts - if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is!

And finally ... it’s OK to say no.

Remember, it’s your doorstep and your decision. If you feel pressured for any reason, ask the person to leave.

To report a crime, call 101 (or 999, if in progress). Crimestoppers 0800 555 111.


The County Police Act of 1839 paved the way for the establishment of county police forces and Bourne was then part of Kesteven, one of the three divisions in Lincolnshire. A police force for Bourne was in place by 1857 with an officer and two constables who were soon arresting offenders for petty theft and attending the May Statute Fair in the market place, normally marred by drunkenness and fighting and frequented by tricksters and pickpockets, but not a single case of disorderly conduct was reported that year.

The police strength increased as the town expanded and by 1861 a permanent headquarters had been established at the corner of Burghley Street and North Street complete with offices, cells and hostel accommodation for officers,

so enabling them to be available on 24-hour call to patrol the streets. There were then 16 officers and their presence was marked by a considerable decrease in crime and general lawlessness.

From then onwards, policemen on foot patrol day and night were a familiar and comforting sight and during the early years of the 20th century when the motor car was becoming popular, uniformed officers could be seen regularly on point duty to keep vehicles moving in the increasingly busy town centre, especially on market days when stalls erected at the kerbside reduced the amount of road left for passing traffic. But when the first traffic lights were introduced in 1973, they were no longer necessary and so began the reduction in the police presence on the streets.

The police station in North Street continued in use until 1960 when it was replaced by a new building in West Street although this was downgraded to office status in 2000, only open five days a week (closed for lunch) and an indeterminate staffing level for duties in the town.

In the past 150 years, modern policing methods have changed dramatically through the introduction of mobile patrols, new technology, shorter working hours and fewer points of personal contact, with the result that the friendly neighbourhood constable epitomised by the TV image of Dixon of Dock Green has all but disappeared.

Archive photograph of the county police on parade through Bourne in 1890.

law and order in past times was maintained by constables appointed by the magistrates, usually farmers and yeomen who combined official duties with their normal work. in times of riot and civil disturbance, special constables could be recruited from various walks of life provided they were of respectable character, such as shopkeepers, clerks, tradesmen and even elderly and retired people.

| Motoring - monthly advice from Tom Ingram

Tom Ingram is the owner of BIG TOM Driving School that provides Five Day Intensive Driving Courses in Bourne, Deeping and surrounding areas.

Tel: 0800 689 4174 www.BIGTOM.org.uk

Welcome to the motoring section and this month I am going to be raising the question of the value of “dash cams” in vehicles. “dash cams” are small video recording devices, which come in a wide range of complexity and can be positioned around your car, including the dashboard, to record any incidents that occur whilst driving.

My driving school car covered just shy of 30,000 miles last year, not just me driving, but my pupils on my Intensive Driving Courses! In all those miles, I can recall one solitary incident where a driver of a white van in Grantham attempted what I strongly believe to be a “crash for cash”. For those who are not aware, there was an incredible surge in insurance claims a couple of years ago, which often included costly compensation fees for a variety of medical reasons, all of which were strongly believed to be false and were deliberate

crashes for cash claims, hence the name. Although not as frequent, I still hear these days of highly suspicious incidents from my driving instructor colleagues across the U.K.

According to the Insurance Fraud Bureau, it is believed to cost purely innocent U.K. drivers hundreds of millions of pounds collectively each year. If you look carefully in front and rear windscreens, you will notice that “dash cams” are increasingly being used by drivers, not only to combat this problem of fraudulent claims, but also simply to record the variety of dangerous, careless and inconsiderate driving that is occurring on the roads these days. They come in a range of prices, matching how smart the technology is, and they should be serious food-for-thought for any drivers out there in Bourne, Deeping and surrounding areas who actually take pride in their “no claims bonus”.

Following a temporary closure at the end of 2015, the Nene Outdoors Water sports and activity Centre re-opened at the beginning of March under the management of Nene Park Trust.

In taking over management of the centre, the Trust hopes to build on the core water sports offered and link this with its existing outdoor education, forest schools and events and activities programme.

Anna Thompson, Outdoor Education and Activities Manager at Nene Park Trust commented: “We are really excited about the opportunity to develop Nene Outdoors as a hub for outdoor activities in the region. The centre is already a great place to enjoy water sports and, as we look to the future, we aim to develop a great range of land-based activities to add to our offering.”

To celebrate the reopening of the centre, Nene Outdoors will be holding a Family Fun Day on Sunday May 22nd. There will be a range of activities on offer for you to take part in, with plenty of instructors on hand to help you – so why not come along and try out something new?

Mike Dench – Tiler

• For all your tiling requirements • Professional service • Fully insured • 30 years experience

Mike DenchWall and Floor Tiling Specialist

Telephone: 01778 394571Mobile: 07702664827

Mike Dench has been a name closely associated with tiling in Bourne for almost twenty years. It was then that the amiable, skilled craftsman moved to the area, and established a successful business, employing several tilers and supplying a huge stock and fitting service from his shop. Now in his mid-fifties, Mike has been fortunate (and relieved!) to have been able to revert to just being a one-man-band, looking forward to just doing the job that he loves, and knows best – supplying and fitting kitchen and bathroom tiles, for both walls and floors.Personal recommendations are crucial, and the bulk of his work these days is from repeat clients or from word of mouth. His having expertly tiled three bathrooms, over the years, in my own home serves to illustrate the point. He has embraced the many changes in products and designs over his thirty-odd years in the profession, and continues to provide a top-quality, competitively priced service, operating within a radius of twenty miles from Bourne.
