Eds’ Letter

It’s hard to believe this is our 100th edition of Go Local for the Ryburn Valley and it was just over 10 years ago the idea was born over a bottle of wine.Over the last 10 years I’ve met some great people, made some lasting friendships, found out a lot about local businesses, had a baby - who’s now a lovely boy and watched him go to school and fallen in love with our local area. It truly is one of the most beautiful and underestimated areas in England.As for the mag, we’ve grown from just 24 pages in black and white to much more than 100 pages of colour glossy mag. Thanks to all our lovely advertisers and our trusty team of deliverers but most of all to you, the readers, for using the magazine and using our local businesses.Here’s to the next 10 years!Rachel

Town Hall Dental Implants – for the natural-looking solution to your Smile

Dental implants at Town Hall Dental are becoming a very popular choice for many of their clientele. When it comes to providing a natural-looking solution to replacing permanently lost teeth – many patients have described their implants as the next best thing to still having their own teeth. Imrantoldus“FollowingthefittingofourImplants–gaps are elimated along with any chewing discomfort soourpatientscansmileandeatconfidently.Theuseof Implants can also stop bone loss which can make your face lose volume – Implants prevent this.” Dental Implants are a great way of replacing one or more missing teeth. They are strong, permanent and look and feel completely natural. The implants themselves are tiny titanium metal rods/screws which are gently placed into your jawbone at the precise location of the intended tooth. Over a few months your jawbone bonds with the rods to form, in effect, a false tooth root. “The implants can then be used to support crowns or bridges. The end result is tooth replacements that look and feel so realistic you may even forget they’re not your real teeth,” Imran told us, “Implants can also be usedtoholddenturesfirmlyinplace,makingiteasierforyoutoeatandspeakwithconfidence.” What sort of Surgical Planning is required?“Prior to commencement of surgery, careful and detailed planning is required to identify vital structures as well as the shape and dimensions of the bone to properly orient the implants for the most predictable outcome. Two-dimensional radiographs are often taken prior to the surgery.”, said Imran. CT Scans and 3D Images may also be required in more complex cases. So – what is the Dental Implant procedure like?“It’s actually a very straight-forward, painless procedure,” said Imran, “They may be a ‘hi-tech solution’,butfittingoneisstraightforwardandalldone under local anaesthetic so our patients don’t feel a thing. Once the implant is in place, we’ll probably

have to wait about twelve weeks for it to settle before a crown’sfittedontop.”

“Whatever is required – we can discuss the best options for you in terms of Dental Implants when you call in for your Consultation,” said Imran, “It’s a procedure that we are very familiar and experienced with and you are in very safe hands here.”

Ever considered being a foster carer? Calderdale Council is recruiting new carers to provide loving homes for children who cannot live with their parents. We offer payment and an allowance for the child you look after, support from the fostering team and specialised training which can lead to NVQ level 3. We particularly need carers who can look after sibling groups, challenging children and teenagers.

All our children are different, so we need all our carers to be different; many people can play a part in providing a child with the care they need.

One of our foster carers, Anna, said:

“I currently care for a young person who is facing the move to high school. When joining our family she was overshadowed by her behaviour; people labelled her as ‘naughty’. The child we see is

THE MOMENTwe celebrated his first goal

There are children aged 11 - 17 looking for a loving family home. Foster a young person in Calderdale, change a life and receive up to £450 per week.

caring, loving and has many strengths, however she needed support and care to help manage her behaviours. Working with the team around us, we continue to give her the life she deserves. We love her as one of our own and would never change anything. Fostering has changed our whole family for the better!”

If you would like to know more about fostering, please ring 01422 288001 or visit www.calderdale.gov.uk/fostering.There is no commitment at this stage; it’s your opportunity to make an informed decision about what could be one of the most rewarding things you’ve ever done!

Well it does if you have the very latest 4K UHD, Smart TV with Freeview Play…

I’m hoping that I’m not the only one who hasn’t really got a clue what that first sentence actually means. It sounds good though… For those of you who are completely tech savvy then I apologise if you know all this (and more) already, but for others here’s a potted history of the TV and what the latest innovations are for 2015.

First let’s go back a bit. John Logie Baird, born in Glasgow in 1888, is credited with inventing the television, or at least he was the first to show moving pictures in 1925 on a screen in Selfridges, Oxford Street. Baird lived through an amazing time, when he was born there were few cars on the roads, no radio or television or planes in the skies, when he died in 1946 there were rockets, jet planes and the first computers.

For the first 60 or so years technology for TVs didn’t change so much from the first heavy Cathode Ray Tube (CRT) models which showed a picture made up of green, red and blue dots. Moving a TV around then was a 2 person job!

From the 1990s however the pace of development has just sprinted away both for TVs and computers… The first plasma and LCD screens became available, so light and thin compared to the CRT that they were a joy. Meanwhile the personal computer became affordable and the Internet was available though dial up Internet Service Provides like AOL.

Fast forward to 2015 (passing by the digital switch over from analogue in 2102 and available fast broadband) and the screen type that has currently won

The sun always shines on TV….out is LED (Light Emitting Diode). We are now buying into sharper, true to life picture quality and the ability to watch what we want, when we want without having to plan in advance or “record” where the world of TV and computer has met in the middle.

Here are some of the hottest features for 2015:

Picture quality4K Ultra HD TVs (also known as UHD TVs – ultra high definition) deliver four times as much detail as the standard 1080p Full HD, that’s eight million pixels compared to two million pixels. What that means in terms of potential image clarity is more fine detail, greater texture and an almost photographic emulsion of smoothness.

On demand TV gets betterWatch what you want, when you want. This is where TV and computer technology have met… Smart TVs have various features and use broadband connectivity to offer a whole host of features integrating cameras and smart phones, allowing Skype and internet access among others…

Two recent on demand applications are Freetime and coming in the latter part of 2015 Freeview Play.

Freetime lets you catch up on the last 7 days of TV across 26 channels with a roll back guide as well as being able to pause, rewind and record live TV. Handy…

Freeview Play is the latest and most exciting feature for 2015. Freeview is the free-to-access broadcast service that launched back in 2002, enabling the switch from a few analogue channels to more than 60 digital TV channels for anyone with a Freeview box. Freeview Play is the same but is broadband connected and emulates rival paid services such as Sky TV and YouView in integrating online catch-up TV services into its regular digital TV choices. Freeview Play users will see live TV, catch-up TV, and on-demand TV all rolled into one relatively seamless service via a customer’s broadband connection. Sounds great!

Hepton Singers Benefit Concert

in support of CROWS (the Community Rights of Way Service)

‘….Noises, sounds and sweet airs’, a concert of music on the themes of Shakespeare and Scotland. The programme includes songs from ‘The Tempest’,’ A Midsummer’s Night Dream’ and ‘Twelfth Night’ set to music by Vaughan Williams and Frank Harris among others.

The Hepton Singers, based in Heptonstall, have a reputation for performing dramatic performances of exciting unaccompanied music from all ages. The choir has toured widely in the north of England and Europe.

CROWS is a small local charity working to improve access to the beautiful countryside of the Upper Calder and Ryburn Valleys. All volunteers, we help to maintain and improve the many footpaths and bridleways in our area. We put in steps, mend stiles, cut back overgrown vegetation, deal with drainage prob-lems, waymark routes – anything that improves the public enjoyment of the countryside.

Why not look at our website to learn more about CROWS and our work – www.crows-coop.co.uk . Walkers can also email us to report any footpath problems on [email protected] Tickets are available on the door or in advance from www.heptonsingers.co.uk

Saturday, 4th July 2015 at 7.30 pm at Christ Church, Scammonden Road, Barkisland, HX4 0AF (doors open 7.00pm)

Walking with History – The Sam Hill TrailSaturday June 6th, 11am.

Fortunes, Feuds and Scandals. Join us for a guided walk through the colourful yet troubled life of Sam Hill, the Ryburn Valley’s notorious 18th century wool millionaire.

The 3.5mile circular walk starts from St Bartholomew’s Church, Ripponden. Be prepared for muddy footpaths. There is no charge but donations are welcome.

If you can’t make the walk, then why not Download the App?

Pennine Horizons have developed a series of eTrails, working with community groups around the Calder Valley. Each trail is available as an App which can be downloaded to your Smart Phone or Tablet; including a map, walking directions, historical images, and audio commentary to take on the trail. There are also printed route guides available.

There are 12 trails, of between 2 and 8 miles, which enable you to explore the spectacular scenery of the Calder Valley, as well as informing you of the area’s rich history; 19th century water powered textile mills, Packhorse Trails, Radical history (women’s suffrage, plug riots, workers cooperatives, Chartism), Sam Hill and the Ryburn Valley, Todmorden Tops and the Fieldens, Heptonstall, and Hebden Bridge’s Woodland Heritage.

David Fletcher, chair of Pennine Heritage said; “The South Pennines are a combination of unique landscape and outstanding industrial heritage; ‘the hills that built the modern world’. The area has long been a favoured resort for walkers and historians. Pennine Horizons Trails provide you with an opportunity to explore the area on foot with the bonus of having information about the landscape, ecologyorhistoryatyourfingertips.”Seewww.pennineheritage.org.uk/Trails for much more information.

Broken or Damaged Windows?Faulty Hinges, Handles or Locks?

Want The Latest Energy Saving Glass?All Glazing Backed By Our

5 Year Manufacturers Guarantee

www.cloudy2clear.com

Priority Freephone 0800 61 21118

...we make saving money perfectly clear...

STEAMED UP DOUBLE GLAZING?Don’t replace the Frames... just the Panes!

Cloudy2Clear Windows – Service With A Smile!

It’s been a crazy few months for Cloudy2Clear Windows. The company which specialises in repairing windows which are steamed up, broken or damaged by replacing the panes – not the frames has grown rapidly as homeowners take advantage of their services. Manager Andy Routledge feels that it’s all about service. ‘Our product is simple. If your double glazing is misted up we can replace the glass at a fraction of the cost of a new window, in any type of frame, and with a new 5 year guarantee. But it’s not just about saving people money, although that obviously helps.

Many tradespeople have struggled since last year and I honestly feel that during the good times a minority perhaps didn’t focus on customer care as much as they should have done. 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. I often get comments back from customers on how they really didn’t expect that sort of service which, in a way, is very sad for the service industry as a whole.’ Cloudy2Clear service the Ripponden, Rishworth, Barkisland, Norland, Sowerby, Mill Bank, Soyland & Sowerby Bridge areas & Andy is finding that his

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.’ So, if your windows are steamed up, broken or damaged give Andy a call for a free quotation on 0800 61 21 118 and he’ll be happy to help!

Ancient Benchmarks like thisare to be found on structuresthroughout the Ryburn Valley The term benchmark, originatesfrom the marks chiselled intostone structures, into which anangle-iron could be placed to

form a "bench" for a levelling rod, thus ensuring itcould be accurately repositioned to calculate theheight above sea level relevant to other nearbybenchmarked datum lines. `The benchmark’ is also a professionally accepted

term for determining or measuring the quality ofstandards and performance.

Even though technology has overtaken levelling rods,new benchmarks are still appearing on buildings inour area, as a trademark of the quality standards of alocal buildingcompany.

“Our standards arehigh and ourcustomers arepleased for us tocarve our owndiscrete benchmark on completion of our newstonework, so look out for more of them appearing”says Robert Gear of Ryburn’s Benchmark Builders.

Benchmarking in the Ryburn Valley

What our customers say... “We employed RJD, now Benchmark Builders to completean extension to our property and were delighted with their work.

They were hardworking, industrious and extremely conscientious, their timekeeping exemplary andtheir honesty such that we gave them full access to our home whilst we were absent.

Their standard of work is of the highest quality and we would be happy for any prospective clientsto come to our property to view the work for themselves.” Barry and Ann Birkby Huddersfield
