Welcome to theSeptember issueof The DialogueHang on, how can it be September already? Itdoesn’t seem five minutes ago that I wrote inthe summer issue that we would have a “long,hot summer”. And guess what? We did! It mayhave been too hot for some (we are British afterall) but as the tabloids would say, “Phew! Whata scorcher!” Our tans and vitamin D levels (if you read last month’s issueyou’ll know what I mean) should be well and truly topped up and whoknows, maybe we’re in for an Indian summer as well.
I’m no gardener but I’m hoping that the good weather will help producesome great displays at the village show on the 14th. Schedules have beendelivered around the village, so please have a look through and see whichclasses you could enter. As I write this letter the weather looks pretty good,so fingers crossed it will have lasted until Saturday 17th August for the “Onthis day” photography class.
Now for the serious part - YOUR MAGAZINE NEEDS YOU!
We have some fabulous regular contributors to The Dialogue, who producegreat articles every month – Country Matters, Health Page, Days Out – butwe need more! There have been a number of events in and aroundDiseworth over the summer – Twelfth Night and Sherlock Holmes atLangley Priory, Boogie in the Barnyard – and we would love to includereviews and photographs in the magazine. If anyone attended any of theseevents (and indeed any future events) and has pictures or feels they couldput a few thoughts on paper (or pc, tablet, ipad etc.) please send them in toany of the email addresses on the inside of the cover. Also, if you have anyideas for new features you would like to see or contribute to, we’d love tohear from you.
Finally, there is an envelope included with this issue for any donations youfeel you are able to make towards the running costs for the magazine. We allappreciate that budgets are being squeezed more and more each year, butevery year the Dialogue committee is overwhelmed by this village’sgenerosity in supporting the magazine. Thank you for your support, it reallydoes make a huge difference and enables us to keep producing the Dialogue.

‘Nice? It’s the ONLY thing,’ said the Water Ratsolemnly, as he leant forward for his stroke.
‘Believe me, my young friend, there isNOTHING ... absolute nothing ... half so muchworth doing as simply messing about in boats.
Simply messing,’ he went on dreamily: ‘messing... about ... in ...boats; messing .......’
‘Look ahead, Rat!’ cried the Mole suddenly.
It was too late. The boat struck the bank full tilt.The dreamer, the joyous oarsman, lay on his
back at the bottom of the boat, hisheels in the air.
And so the Water rat introduces the Mole to the delights of boating in Kenneth Grahame’s greatnovel, The Wind in the Willows.
In the real world too, as the summer days unfold the lure of boats and the rivers and the sea is strong.There’s something about floating along on the water, travelling by wind or muscle power and gentlygoing who knows where. Of course it’s not always like that. Being caught in a small boat on a wideriver or at sea when the weather turns and the wind blows hard and the waves rise and start poundingagainst the sides is an altogether different experience.
Boats figure often in the Bible, even though the ancient Israelites were far from being a seafaringnation. Noah, his family and all the animals were saved by a boat. Jonah hopped on a boat to avoidGod, but ended up doing His will anyway. St Paul was shipwrecked three times and through trust inGod survived. And of course there were many occasions when Jesus and his friends set sail or rowedacross the Lake of Galilee. Some of these journeys were ‘plain sailing’ others were not. Once whenthe disciples were struggling to make way against a headwind, Jesus walked out over the water tothem, got into the boat, the wind dropped and they reached the shore safely.
For millennia men and women have found that sudden changeability of great bodies of water whetherthey be lakes or the sea, from flat calm to crashing turmoil not only a fearful experience, but in manysenses a metaphor for life. One minute all seems to be going well….and then…and then...somethingcomes along and the fragile boat of our life is rocked, we are ‘all at sea’ and it looks as though weshall be lost. That’s very much the view of the Bible, as is the confidence that having God ‘on board’makes all the difference.
I suspect that we have all had those experiences of being caught in the storms of life with the realchance that it may all go disastrously wrong. On those occasions reminding ourselves of God’soverriding love for us and his desire to be with us in both storm and calm can help us through.Perhaps we could say this beautiful and simple prayer from the Breton fishing community:
Dear God, be good to me;The sea is so wide,
And my boat is so small. Amen

A SCORCHING HAYMAKINGSEASON
After a freezing winter and a dull and dreary spring, summer suddenlyarrived in July with searing heat and endless sunshine, excellenthaymaking weather. As the weather forecast predicted a long hot spell,and the grass earmarked for hay had finally put on a growth spurt, itwas game on for haymaking. Will connected up the mower to thetractor, sharpened up the blades, greased up all its moving parts, andoff he went to mow all the hay fields as quickly as possible. The best hayis always made in the hottest, driest weather as good hay should bemade quickly to keep its nutrients and a good fresh green colour.
Standing grass is about 90% moisture and needs to be between 15%and 20% to keep well as hay, so a lot of drying has to take place. Theslightest bit of moisture in it when it is baled up can cause it to gomusty and mouldy during storage. Not the sight you want to see indarkest January when you open up a bale to feed some calves. A farmersaid to me that when he opens a really good bale of hay deep in thewinter, the smell can transport you back to summer, that sweetnessand freshness, just the same as when you baled it up. A moredangerous result of some moisture in hay is spontaneous combustionresulting in a fire. This can happen many days or even weeks after thehay has been baled up. This problem is hard to predict as a field ofmown hay may look perfectly dry, especially on a stinking hot day, but ifjust enough of it is too moist, then there may be trouble with the balesheating up. I have heard farmers say that you should always bale haywith the sunshine on it or it will be heavy, a sign that it has too muchmoisture in it. The mower leaves the grass in rows too thick to enable itto dry properly so it needs to be spread out across the field. Using amachine called a tedder; it is turned, spread and aerated. This needs tobe done a few times to enable the grass to dry evenly.
When the grass is dry, it is put back into rows again ready for baling up.Years ago, when only small balers were available, there was a lot ofmanual work to be done during haymaking, individual small squarebales popped out of the back of the baler into a sled that was dragged
13
behind it.When it wasfull, a ropewas pulled bythe tractordriver whichreleased theeight bales.Next thesebales had tobe piled up byhand on top ofeach other toform a smallstack twobales wide andfour high. Each stack was collected by a special grab which held all thebales tightly together and transported them to a trailer parked in thefield. Each little stack was placed carefully on the trailer and then handstacked again to make a safe load to bring home. The next bit was hardgraft, as all these hundreds of individual bales had to be stacked byhand under the barn to keep them safe and dry until they were neededin the winter.
Now the majority of hay and straw is handled purely by big machineryfrom start to finish, hence all the big round bales you see dotted aboutin fields. So fast forward forty years and back in the present, a smilingWill returned pleased to have knocked down all the hay in one go. Theweather being so hot he went up the next day with the tedder to spreadit about and returned to announce that it was almost hay already andthe one flick through would probably be enough. That proved to becorrect and all he had to do then was row it back up into swaths again.
A phone call to his cousin with the big baler, and a day later it was allbaled up. And there it stopped out in the fields for a couple of weeks orso, until Will had time to go with a trailer and bring it home a load at atime. Then just a 15 minute job to unload eighteen big bales two at atime with the JCB loader, and another four tonnes of precious winterfodder is safely under cover and protected from the elements. Then it’sback up the field for the next load, and all untouched by human hand, amuch easier job than all that back breaking hand stacking.

Wish you were here……………Krakow, Poland
Dear Aunt Babs,
Well, we made it and I must sayso far it is living up to yourtales and recommendations.Your advice about needing asensible pair of shoes was agood one as we seem to havewalked miles already.
Our free walking tour starting from thechurch in the main square was quitedelightful. The guides are only allowedto be Polish nationals and they have topass a very difficult exam or threebefore they can be given their workingpass. They are very passionate abouttheir city. The tale about the trumpeterin the tower of the church was veryamusing. Did you know that manyyears ago a huge army was advancingupon the city and the watchman in thetower sounded a warning on histrumpet to the citizens? A keen-eyedbowman from the army shot him in thethroat and he died mid ‘blow’ and so tothis day on the hour every hour, yes –all through the night – a man plays atrumpet which is cut off suddenly torepresent the arrow shot. Wow, howromantic. But it is not really true - justa myth. The trumpeter has beenblowing his tune for only about twentyyears or so. It was a story thought upto delight the tourists!
We also visited the university whereCopernicus put forward his theory thatthe Sun was the centre of theUniverse, and saw the Bastille wherein order to outwit invading soldiersusing a battering ram, they built thesecond door at an angle from the first
one so that the enemy could not havea straight run through!
The main square itself is the largestmediaeval square in Europe that isstill intact, and although most of thebuildings date from the 18th centurythe Cloth Hall in the centre is stillintact – full of little shops sellingtourist tat. The history of Polanddictated that Krakow was actuallyGerman so during the Second WorldWar it was not attacked or bombed bythe Germans as the rest of Polandwas.
Thank you for recommending theBigos (pronounced Bigosh) as a meal.We ate this amazing Polish dish onmore than one occasion andthoroughly enjoyed it. Food out here isvery filling, varied and cheap. Anotherof our favourites was Polish SourSoup. I don’t know if you came acrossthis but it consists of a flavoured stockfilled with potato, sausage and hardboiled eggs. Unusual to say the least.Pirogi – the dumplings stuffed withvarious fillings were absolutelydelicious too. I can see why you cameback from your trip feeling well andtruly stuffed!!

Babs – I know you said we should visittwo places out of town when we werehere and we followed your advice bybooking them before we left England.Both trips were very interesting indifferent ways and it would be a hardhearted person not to be affected byeither site.
First we went to Auschwitz andAuschwitz-Birkenau. The sheerhorrific enormity of the place reallysank home when, as part of themuseum in Auschwitz, we saw acabinet of shoes. Shoes? Yes each pairbelonging to someone who had passedthrough the camp and not survived.There were about 40,000 pairs therewhich represented a fraction of thetotal. I found it very hard tounderstand the reasoning behind allthis. It is a place everyone should visit.The conditions on the brick huts werepretty grim but nothing compared tocamp 2 at Birkenau. This camp coversa vast area and has been left exactlyas it was found – horrendous. Part ofSchindler’s List was filmed here andthe site of the arched gateway in thewall where the train comes throughwas very thought provoking. TheGateway of Death.Our guide was anelderly lady with first-hand experienceof the camps through her father-in-law, who was imprisoned for two yearsat the age of 19 for giving bread tosome starving prisoners. He weighed33Kg on his release.
Our second trip was totally different –this time to the salt mines atWeilsazka. We started the journeydown in a small, rather claustrophobictunnel with a big wooden door. Whenit opened we were faced with 390steps – going down in flights of 7. Iwas mightily dizzy by the time Ireached the bottom and I am glad Ifollowed your advice to take some
water with me. It was a brilliant place.People who worked in the mines wereconsidered very privileged and jobswere passed from father to son.Because of the salt particles in the airtheir life expectancy was far greaterthan other folk. The one point I think,where we all said ‘Wow’ in a collectiveexhalation of breath was when wereached the ‘Cathedral’. I rememberyou saying we would do this but I wasa bit sceptical. The sheer size of thiscavern built by four men in their ‘sparetime’ is overwhelming. The intricatebiblical carvings are so amazing andlife like. People even come here toworship each Sunday at a Mass.The old city of Krakow is surroundedby a green belt called the Planty whichwas where the original moat was whenthe city was fortified. At the south endof the city lies Wavel Castle which Iknow you said you did not visit forwhatever reason. I can see why, as itwas a bit ‘dry’. The best part was thefire breathing dragon at the base of thecliff by the river. Another lovely storythere about maidens, princes, fortunesbeing offered and the dragon’s demiseby being blown up!!
We also visited the Jewish Quarterwith another free tour but I lost theplot early on and when we were told tolook at a building with symmetry and Ilooked and could only see gravestonesI gave up completely. Sorry Babs – hemeant cemetery!!
As I write this we are having a finalbeer, of many supped these threedays, and are waiting for our lift backto the airport.
Thanks again for some of your tips,and I will return the guide books toyou when I catch up with you next.

HEALTH PAGEBOOST YOUR B’S
All vitamins and minerals are extremelyimportant for maintaining good health, but theB vitamins are so vital that they are worthexploring in detail. The B vitamins are anextensive family and its many members play awide variety of roles within the human body. Bvitamins are not stored in the body as they arewater soluble, so we need a regular daily intake.
All the B vitamins, except B12, are involved inreleasing energy from food. Thiamin, (B1) is essential for the body to convertcarbohydrates and fats into energy. It also prevents the build up of toxins in the bodywhich would otherwise damage the heart and nervous system. Riboflavin, (B2), is againvital for releasing energy from food, and is also needed for the proper functioning of B6and niacin. Niacin is necessary for the formation of two co-enzymes involved inassisting the production of energy within the cells. It is also vital for the formation ofneurotransmitters, and helps to maintain a healthy skin and digestive system.Pyridoxine (B6) is needed for the breaking down of proteins and the release of theirenergy. It is also involved in helping to stimulate the production of antibodies that helpprotect the body from bacteria, and is vital for a healthy nervous system. Pantothenicacid is again important for the releasing of energy from food and supports the normalfunctioning of the adrenal glands. Biotin helps in the production of fatty acids in thebody but intake is not as important as it is readily made in the intestines. Folic acid isessential for the formation of healthy red blood cells, vital for normal cell division andthe formation of DNA, our genetic blueprint.
Any woman trying to conceive is recommended to take a daily supplement of 200mcgfor 3 months before conception and during the first twelve weeks of pregnancy. There isstrong evidence that doing this can significantly reduce the chances of having a babywith neural tube defects. Choline works together with inositol to help preventhardening of the arteries and also to protect the kidneys and liver. B12 is needed forgrowth and division of the cells. Also integral for the making of DNA and myelin, thewhite sheath that surrounds nerve fibres.
Because all these different B vitamins tend to work together, it is best to eat a range offoods that will supply them all. B vitamins are found in all meats and fish, but therichest source is in liver. Milk, cheese, yogurt, wheat germ, brewers yeast, marmite,brown rice and dark molasses are also good sources. Green vegetables, pulses, Soyabeans, nuts, eggs, potatoes and many other fresh vegetables contain lesser amounts ofthe B vitamins. Bread is fortified with some B vitamins as are breakfast cereals.

The biggest problem with B vitamins is that they are seriously depleted in the body bythings such as stress, smoking and alcohol. This can lead to slight deficiencies whichcan result in many and varied health conditions. For example, studies have shown thatdeficiencies of thiamin and riboflavin can cause the liver to fail in the inactivation ofoestrogen. This can result in women suffering symptoms of premenstrual tension,irregular and heavy periods, breast cysts and hot flushes during menopause. Lack ofthiamin can also be a contributing factor in poor thyroid function. Research found thatgiving patients with poor thyroid function a B1 vitamin supplement improved theirthyroxine levels enough to make it unnecessary for them to have to take thyroxinemedicine.
Memory is also affected by lack of B vitamins. Some research has shown thatforgetfulness in older people can be helped by giving them B complex supplements. Itappears that many health conditions can be improved or avoided by consuming foodsrich in B complex and taking a B complex supplement. Ways to fortify your meals withB vitamins can be as simple as sprinkling wheat germ over your salads, eating plenty ofyogurt, eating liver once a week, adding marmite to stews and casseroles and usingmolasses for sweetening instead of sugar. If you are being treated for a medicalcondition consult your doctor about taking a B complex supplement.

Beat NewsBelow are the crime figures for the month of June: X1 Theft from motor vehicle - diesel siphoned from fuel tankX1 TheftPCSO 6178 Nicola Stanhope, Valley Beat Team, Leicestershire PoliceExternal 101http://www.leics.police.uk [email protected]
Obituary - Nev CheethamNev died in June, in France, where he and his wife Cally retired in 2006. Hewas already ill and his condition worsened recently. He was only 68.
Nev had two strong links with Diseworth. He was Clerk to the ParishCouncil for several years, starting about the time I was elected in 1998. Hewas an experienced Clerk, and when I became Chairman he was mostsupportive. I also got to know Cally and learned of the huge amount of workthe two of them were putting in to establish Treetops in Draycott where theylived. Treetops is a hospice providing palliative care for children, particularlyat home. They now record over 30,000 hours of home care a year, and aregoing from strength to strength.
Nev’s other claim to fame is music – usually New Orleans style. He will beremembered particularly in Diseworth for the contribution his band made tothe Millennium Street Party, marching down Hallgate led by Nev as drummer,in spite of the damp conditions, and getting the party started in earnest.
Cally organised a memorial service in Draycott in July, when the ParishChurch was packed, not least with a ten man Jazz band, whose contributionsensured a memorable celebration of his life. The service was taken by hisformer next door neighbour who I knew first as the Draycott butcher, butwho was ordained about five years ago. (He is still the butcher).
The service culminated in the band leading a procession around the localstreets in best New Orleans style.
He will be sorely missed.
