PLANS FOR ALL PURPOSE SPORTS PAVILION SCRAPPEDDuffield Cricket Club hasreluctantly withdrawn froma scheme to build a new all-purpose pavilion on `EyesMeadow.Representatives of DuffieldCricket Club, who wished todiscuss the new pavilion,attended a meeting with theParish Council and raiseddoubts about the viability ofthe project because ofdifficulty in raising funds. In the current financialclimate the stakeholders havefound it difficult to raise anymeaningful funding in the lastthree years even though theCouncil had offered to match
funding up to £500,000. The Cricket Club has urgentneeds to repair and improvethe existing pavilion and havetaken the reluctant decision tofocus efforts in this area, thuswithdrawing from theDuffield Community SportsAssociation. This position means that therecan be no furtherconsideration of an enlargedpavilion that could be used byall sports users, although theCricket Club remainscommitted to working withother local sport andcommunity groups bycontinuing to make the
cricket facilities available.The Council agreed that theyshould review all facilities onEyes Meadow and tailor anyParish Council developmentto the needs of its users.The Parish Council hasstarted to meet withrepresentatives of the othermain users of Eyes Meadowin order to understand theirrequirements for facilitiesthere.The Parish Council wouldwelcome any further views onfuture development on EyesMeadow.

staggering,” added Ingrid. “I could never have managedto sustain such a successfulsalon without local support fora local girl and I can’t wait forsome of them to come andstay with us in Austria!“I am so lucky to have greatemployees. “I am positive that they willdo a fantastic job of runningthe salon.” Edelweiss Ski chalet & Spaare taking bookings forDecember 2013 onwardsand to all readers of theDuffield Scene they areoffering a special discountedrate.

Thanks for theresponse from thelast article and aquestion that cameup consistently was:“When should wevisit a chiropractor?”Simply, if yousuffer from anymusculoskeletalpain a chiropractorwill give you a neurologicaland orthopaedic evaluation,which will narrow yourspecific symptoms and signsdown to a diagnosis withwhich he will manually beginworking with. We treat to reduce pain anddiscomfort, all the timelooking for a primarydysfunction that may causethe chain of events,compensations and reflexesthat weaken the tissue eitherlocally or away from thedysfunction. This weakness can result instrain, which will lead to joint,ligament, muscle or other
disorders. In many casesthese pains canreplicate organpain, or vice versa,organ pain mayseem like muscularor joint pains. It is our job aschiropractors torule out any
potentially dangerous causesand make sure that the causeis treatable by chiropracticmethods. There is plenty of research tosuggest that chiropractic helpcan ease musculoskeletalpain, and improve function.Chiropractors do not prescribemedication, though we are notagainst it, and will help togradually get our patientsback to normal strength andstability with long lastingeffects. Please call us at GenesisIntegrated Health, 01773-240020, for an appointmentif we can help.

There were calves being fed with milk, adults feedingin the barn, but no sign of the bull who must have heard the beaverscoming and hid! The milking parlour and bottling plant were spotlessalthough the beavers found some muddy puddles and had a great timegetting muddy and stroking the calves. Many thanks to John and hisfamily who made us feel very welcome.

SUMMER READING AND LIBRARY ACTIVITIES

There is somethingdelightful about watchingchildren, beside themselveswith joy, wonder anddisbelief, standing in astrawberry fieldsurrounded by ripe fruitthat can be eaten withoutreservation whilst thegrown ups pick fruit totake home. Mouths arestuffed full to bursting,juice runs down chins,hands are delightfullysticky and attempts to savethe biggest ones bymistakenly putting theminto pockets, causesinevitabledisappointment! Such opportunities forgluttony do not present veryoften!This surprising hot summerweather has at last producedgluts of produce in thegarden, in the fields and onthe meadow. However, in my garden, thepeas never reach a saucepanas fistfuls of pods arepopped open to provide amouthful of sweet, juicyjewels and even thetomatoes are eaten beforethey get to the table. One thing I have noticed isthe lack of blackfly this yearalong with a dearth ofhoneybees. My broad beans and runnerbeans are relying on thehover flies, wasps andbumble bees for pollination.This relative lack of sapsucking aphids is not goodnews for birds such as bluetits and makes the job offeeding young even harderfor the swallows and housemartins that are gracing theskies above the meadow intheir continual search forfood whilst on the wing.These graceful summervisitors can be seen
swooping low over theponds and thewetland areawhere there isoften anabundance offood, theirbeaks open totrap theinsects intheir throats.Swallows arethe ones withthe slenderforked tail, amore acrobatic,swooping, flowingflight mostly low to theground and a beautiful,liquid twittering call. House Martins have ashorter tail and broaderwings, a flutteringbackwards flick of the wingsin flight (often flying higherthan swallows) and their callis a drier, twittering song.Even higher in the sky, oftenscreaming in groups, are thelarger, sickle shaped swiftswhose chocolate brownplumage appears almostblack in profile against theblue sky. They are unusual in that theyspend their whole life on thewing – they eat, collect nestmaterial in the air and evensleep whilst flying. This evolutionary trait alsomeans that they cannot walkwell on their very short legsand they only land whennesting and brooding theiryoung!
Their feet haveforward facingtoes that arevery strong togrip on oncecrawling intothe nest.They have avery widegape to theirshort beaksand prefer toeat aphids ormidges thatmay be swepthigh by the wind
but will takeanything that they can
swallow but not includingstinging insects like wasps. No one knows how theyavoid these as they eatharmless hover flies thathave the same markings. Eating on the wing like thishas been compared to livingoff beans and peanuts andtossing them in the air andcatching them in your mouthwhilst running along atspeed!Swifts have no crop (theelastic pouch that most birdshave in their lower throat) socollect food for their youngin balls in their mouths,sticking the hundreds andsometimes thousands ofinsects together with salivafrom their enlarged salivaryglands.During an aphid plague inOxford, one food ballcontained 726 aphids, 48leaf hoppers, 22 spittle
bugs, 23 crane flies, 18dung flies, 13 ladybirds,120 ants and various otherinsects like spiders caughtas they fly around ongossamer threads.Swifts live for 10 to 15 yearsmigrating to and fro fromAfrica via France and Spainand they tend to have thesame partner for years. When bad weather threatens,the parent birds will fly intothe wind for up to 600 mileseach way to find food, oftennot returning for two or threedays. The young swifts go into asemi hibernating state with aslower heartbeat andmetabolism whilst theyawait their return. Fledglings can feedthemselves from the momentthey leave the nest and thenmigrate to Africa with theadults. They may be permanentlyflying for the first 4 years oftheir lives before finding amate and nesting.Make the most of admiringthese remarkable birds –they are usually all gone bythe end of August and arefollowed by the Swallowsand House Martins thatgather on telephone lines inlate summer, looking for allthe world as if they arediscussing their ownforthcoming Africanjourney, before flying south.Every time I sit andwatch these birds whenI am walking on themeadow – oftenwatching as they diptheir beaks for a drinkin the big pond – Iknow why our NatureReserve is importantand why we mustpreserve thebiodiversity of ourlocality.

Derbyshire Constabularywishes to remind membersof the community to use thenational 101 number toreach police in a non-emergency. The force launched the newnumber in October 2011 aspart of the national scheme tomake it cheaper and easier tocontact police. More than 60per cent of non-emergencycalls to Derbyshire police nowcome through on the 101number as opposed to the old‘0345’ number with thatfigure steadily increasing. Unfortunately a small numberof calls that are notemergencies come through topolice via 999 as the callerdoesn’t know the newnumber. This could prevent genuineemergency callers gettingthrough to police. The policesay that the number isgenerally working well and isfar easier to remember thanthe old number and in themain people are now
comfortable using it. thenumber 101 can be used toreport a crime that is not inprogress, get crime preventionadvice and for any other non-emergency. Calls to 101 are15p for the duration of thecall, whether from a landlineor a mobile. Deaf, hard ofhearing or speech impairedcallers can access the servicevia textphone on 18001 101.The non-emergency number isa 24 hours a day seven days aweek service which should beused for all police matters of anon-urgent nature andinclude:• Giving police informationabout a crime in the area• Contacting a local policeofficer (such as someone fromyour Safer NeighbourhoodTeam)• Stolen or damaged propertyand it is not a crime inprogress• Suspicion of drug use anddealing in the area• m m m m m m m m mReporting a minor traffic
collisionAlways ring 999 in anemergency. An emergency is wherethere is a crime inprogress, or an immediatethreat to life or property.
