[From the Editor You’re hopefully receiving your summer edition of The Clarion a week

or two early this year to ensure it is out in time to remind you about

Lane End fete and dog show. This is a wonderful day where the whole

village comes together on the green in front of the church for fun, food

and frolics. This year it’s a week early on Sat 4 June—save the day!

If you’d like to get involved and help out for an hour on any of the stalls,

let Bob Nix know on 881000 [email protected].

On a more serious note, this Clarion issue contains important infor-

mation about how to save lives in our community. Will Lacey reports

on the tragic loss of livestock locally due to the rising incidence of dog

attacks (p41) and you can find out how you could actually save the life of

a local person on p58 through Lane End Parish Council’s purchase of

two AED units.

Finally, thanks to Pauline Thomas for the lovely cover picture of

foxgloves on Ditchfield Common, taken last year. Happy summer!

Route 48 (Arriva) Monday - Saturday, at roughly hourly intervals during the

working day, runs from Lane End to High Wycombe to Great Missenden.

Route 28 (Carousel) Monday - Friday, fills in some gaps in the route 48

service. Runs between Lane End and Asda. Some buses continue through

Lane End to Cadmore End and Stokenchurch. It does not run on Saturday.

Route 32 (Arriva) Evenings only, Monday - Saturday. Runs to and from

High Wycombe via Asda.

Route 48A / 48 (Vale Travel) Sundays only. Runs between Lane End,

Cadmore End, Stokenchurch and High Wycombe.

Bus Stops The bus services serve several stops as they pass through

Lane End and Cadmore End. Information sheets at each stop list the time

and route number of each bus, plus its destination. This can be confusing

because route 48 buses are shown going to Great Missenden, but they do

go through High Wycombe. In this guide, departure times of buses to High

Wycombe are shown from the Archers Way stop - at other stops the times

may be a minute or so earlier or later, but these can be found at each stop.

Please clean up after your dog

Let’s face it, this isn’t going to

happen. Cleaning up after

your dog is your responsibility.

The situation is getting worse

on the common around the

church, on the playing fields

and even on our walkways

and pavements.

If you wouldn’t want to step in

it, don’t leave it for others to.

Daffodils and spring flowers are be-

ing replaced by early summer ones

on Oleron and the lilac is in flower.

The garden is lovely, but there is a

distinct lack of bees and not much

fruit has set on the trees. The winter

was not nice this year, very wet and

cold, but not of course as cold and

wet as UK! But the Seudre estuary

is looking very fine; Fort Boyard is

standing out well today and the sky

out to the west is clear.

The much argued toll (peage) on the

viaduct over to Ile d’Oleron is still to

be finally agreed; but the word local-

ly is that the amount is to be €16

which seems a lot. The residents of

Oleron will not have to pay it but

everyone else will, and the cost for

commercial vehicles will be higher;

up to €28 for artics. It may well make

some difference to the popularity of

the island as a visiting spot, and

since La Palmyre and Ronce le Bain

are on the mainland and also very

attractive then visitors may opt for

them instead. The decision is to be

made in June, but it is highly likely

that the toll will happen.

Our small congregation of St Igna-

tious continues to hold services on

the last Sunday of each month in

the Protestant Temple in l’Eguille.

We now alternate between Baptist

and C of E services. We are most

fortunate to have Keith Smith, former

head of music at a public school, as

our organist and we enjoy the ser-

vices very much—especially the tea/

coffee and cake afterwards. After the

Easter Eucharist we enjoyed a sim-

nel cake; lovely!

If anyone coming this year would like

to join us, then you are most wel-

come and we plan to join with Rev

Doug Nelson (American protestant

minister at Royan) in outdoor ser-

vices at La Palmyre in July and Au-

gust.

So the Summer begins again. My

little boat ‘Trout Beck’ is remounted

on a new trailer and ready for the

season; some pleasant days out on

the water to come. Hope you can

make it !

Lane End Parish Council has purchased 2 AED units for the village.

Automated external defibrillators are portable devices that check the heart

rhythm and can send an electric shock to the heart to try to restore a

normal rhythm. AEDs are designed to be used by non-medical people to

treat sudden cardiac arrest (they won’t shock a healthy heart).

The parish council will hold a public briefing about the units and how they

work on Tuesday 19 July 7pm at Lane End Youth and Community Centre.

For months it's been rain and more

rain which of course leads to mud

and more mud. As I write in late

April we are having a few dry spells

which allow the ground to dry out a

little, though it then rains again.

Over the last couple of months a

number of repairs have been done to

broken gates, a couple of stiles have

been replaced by kissing gates, and

fallen trees removed.

If, when you are out walking

our paths you notice a broken gate/

Dave’s Mystery Plant:

I am an evergreen shrub of many

species originating from China,

ranging from short 1m varieties to a

mammoth 6m in height. I grow as a

multiple of single stems, often

woody, often forming a large clump

from the ground. I like moist soil and

spread by running horizontal shoots/

roots under the surface of the

ground then suddenly throw another

tall grass like stem up away from the

main plant. I can therefore be very

invasive and problematic when es-

tablished. Apparently pandas love

me!! What’s my name?

Answer: Bamboo (Phyllostachys/

Arundinaria

This is the time of year where all our

hard work has paid off and we

should be relaxing on that small

bench set in a quiet secluded area of

the garden away from the house,

hidden by the scented aromas of

rambling honeysuckle and summer

jasmine sprawling and spreading

overhead on rustic wood pergola......

Seasonal Top Tips:

Now’s the time to start trimming box

hedging and box topiary. If you trim

them whilst there’s still a risk of frost,

the cut leaf tips will get damaged

and go brown and unsightly.

Our good friend Alan Titchmarsh

would recommend using the Derby

Day as a good guide and aim to cut

afterwards. Equally, the same ap-

plies at the end of the year, but we’ll

not go there yet!

How about moss in lawns? Well,

there are companies who will treat

lawns on a monthly or bi-monthly

basis spraying moss killer as a pre-

ventative treatment before it gets a

real hold. You can of course get all

these products from the garden cen-

tre and do it yourself. It’s a good idea

as to prevent is better than cure!

Favourites:

This woodland plant is probably not

the most showy from afar but close

up is quite an interesting and unusual

looking thing. As shown, the flowers

of Polygonatum multiflorum, or Solo-

mons Seal, are borne on long arch-

ing stems half a metre or more,

somewhat resembling a tall version

of lily of the valley, which is a close

relative.

You need a good few stems or plants

to get a bit of a show going, but if you

do it makes a shady damp area a

little more interesting planted

amongst ferns.

This plant has many medicinal val-

ues, but one thing to watch out for is

that it makes a tasty meal for the Sol-

omons Seal Sawfly caterpillar, a grey

Well the competition bug has well

and truly bitten this Lane End-based

quartet! After reaching the top 10 in

our first ever national

UK ladies barbershop

singing competition

last October, the Aca-

Holics had the oppor-

tunity to compete in

the SABS (Spanish

Association of Barber-

shop Singers) compe-

tition on 1 April – no

joke!

We were so excited, then realised

that half of the quartet didn’t have

passports and none of us spoke

Spanish…..but hey, why should that

stop us!

After organising passports, buying

Spanish phrase books, Euros, sun-

screen and new swimming costumes

(well, you never know), we headed

to Gatwick for our flight to Alicante,

which was slightly delayed…good

job too, as we nearly missed it.

Once in Spain we made the most of

everything: sun, sangria, paella, the

beach…..and of course competing in

the International category at the

competition venue. We loved it, be-

fore too long the competition was

over and we were thrilled with our 7th

place, competing against singers

from all over the world, including

Russia.

Next stop, UK prelims……only

weeks away now, where we hope to

qualify to compete in the national UK

ladies barbershop competition once

again – this year in Har-

rogate. Then, who

toms are related to the destruction of

red blood cells. Diagnosis is made

by examining the dog’s blood under

the microscope or using specific ge-

netic tests to detect the parasite.

How can it be treated?

Treatment is focused on kill-

ing the parasite and prevent-

ing the dog’s immune sys-

tem from attacking red blood

cells. In severe cases, dogs

may need blood transfusions.

How can it be prevented?

As there is no vaccine available for

Babesia in the UK, prevention in the

form of regular anti-tick medication

combined with daily inspection of

your dog’s coat is the gold standard.

What is Cherry Tree’s advice to

dog owners?

We recommend that all dog owners

check their pets for ticks after

walks. If one is found, it

should be carefully removed

completely using a tick-

remover. Various anti-tick

medications are available but

not all treatments will kill the

tick before 24 hours. Please speak

to us if you would like further infor-

mation on preventative medications.

If owners spot suspect symptoms in

the dogs, such as weakness, pale

gums or “coffee-coloured” urine then

they should contact us.

page 54 The Clarion — Summer 2016

What is Babesia?

A disease spread by ticks that caus-

es anaemia in dogs. The disease is

caused by a single-celled parasite

named Babesia which is carried in

tick saliva. Although this disease is

more commonly seen in Europe, Afri-

ca and Asia, increased pet travel on

the Pet Passport Scheme may have

allowed the ticks that carry the dis-

ease to spread to the UK.

What’s the latest?

Babesia is not a common disease

and for the first time, a small out-

break of Babesiosis has occurred in

dogs in the UK. Four dogs in Essex,

with no history of foreign travel have

contracted the disease in the past

three months. Experts believe the

particular tick that carries the dis-

ease, Dermacentor reticulatus, may

become more established over the

next few years and are encouraging

owners to incorporate tick prevention

in their parasite prevention schedule.

How are dogs infected?

Babesiosis is spread in a similar way

as Malaria is spread in humans,

although it’s nowhere near as com-

mon. In order to transmit the dis-

ease, a tick must first feed on an

infected dog. This transfers the

Babesia parasites to the tick’s sali-

vary glands. When the infected tick

bites another dog, Babesia parasites

invade the dog’s red blood cells,

which damage the cells directly and

causes the dog’s immune system to

attack its red blood cells. This leads

to signs of anaemia which, in some

cases, can be life-threatening. A tick

typically needs to be attached to a

dog for 24-48 hours to successfully

transmit the disease and the disease

is not contagious between dogs.

What are the symptoms?

Although symptoms can vary, the

main symptoms are: lethargy, weak-

ness, pale gums, jaundice, red/

brown urine and fever. These symp-

page 12 The Clarion — Summer 2016

In March, we had our final Talk of

the season before we stop for our

garden visits that go through the

spring and summer months. This

talk was presented by author and

journalist, Ursula Buchan on the

subject of her recent book on WW2;

‘Did we really Dig for Victory?’ What

a fascinating topic this was!

Before the

war, much of

our food was

imported and

in fact 70,000

tonnes of

food was lost

in the first

year of the

war in our

effort to bring

it to our

shores. Many items of everyday food

became scarce and in fact onions

became such a rarity that they were

given as birthday presents or raffle

prizes!

Although the number of allotments

increased greatly to 5 million at the

height of the war, the numbers fell

after the war ended. However, the

general public had found a new,

cheap and healthy passtime and our

love of gardening was born from this

war-time need for growing our own

food.

Our first garden visit this year was to

Chesham Bois House at the end of

March. The original 13C Manor be-

came derelict and in the 1800s was

replaced by the existing house. The

garden had also fallen into disrepair

but in the mid 1960s the present

owners acquired the house and

started to restore the garden. The

garden is an interesting mix of

‘rooms’ of both formal and informal

areas with some really interesting

and unusual plants. The day was

cold but dry and we finished our visit

with a welcome cup of tea and cake

Our next visit is to Hardy’s Nursery in

Whitchurch. This nursery is owned

and run by Rosy Hardy who has won

several Chelsea Gold Medals and

will be making a show garden this

year at Chelsea for the first time.

upcoming garden visits

Ask the: plumber

with Bill Blake \

Bill – My toilet won’t flush—the handle just goes up and

down

A toilet handle works on a symphonic action.

When you press the handle down, a post-and-grill system is lifted inside

the syphon. On top of the grill is a thin sheet of plastic that lifts the water

over the syphon invert and starts the flushing action. The thin plastic sheet

bends out of the way to allow the water to flow through the grill and

through the syphon to complete the flush. Over time, the plastic sheet

eventually cracks and tears, eventually causing the flush to fail.

A new syphon or plastic sheet must then be fitted to make the toilet work

again.

That is why asbestos cement is a

really good and safe roofing material

which farmers in USA, Canada,

Russia, and most other countries in

the world, can still purchase and use

without any restrictions.

As a building material it is more du-

rable and better than the modern

‘Mineral Cement’ roofing sheets

which have had to be used on UK

farm buildings – ever since the sale

of products containing any type of

asbestos was banned in Europe and

the UK, and the EU Waste Frame-

work Directive failed to differentiate

between the amphibole and the

chrysotile forms of asbestos.

deaths caused by work with asbes-

tos cement have been falls, when

roof repairs have been attempted

without using crawling boards. Such

falls are an even greater risk with

new mineral cement roofing sheets

than with work on roofs which had

been built with asbestos cement be-

fore its use was banned in the UK.

The reason for the differences in risk

to health from the different types of

asbestos can be explained easily.

All forms of asbestos are naturally

occurring fibrous silicates, which are

mined in countries such as Canada,

Brazil and Russia.

The blue and brown forms are iron

silicates, containing sharp needle

like fibres which are insoluble in the

acid of the human lung. These harm-

ful fibres, when inhaled deep into the

lungs, will remain there - sometimes

for forty or fifty years, before finally

penetrating the lung and irritating the

mesothelium which surrounds it,

thus causing mesothelioma or lung

cancer.

But the white form of asbestos,

chrysotile, is a magnesium silicate in

which the fibres are soluble in acid,

with a texture more like soft wool.

So if any fibres from asbestos ce-

ment should unfortunately be in-

haled deep into the lung they will be

dissolved within about two weeks by

the natural acid in the lung. Chryso-

tile fibres have never been shown to

have caused mesothelioma.

Bryan and Alison Edgley started

farming Kensham Farm at

Cadmore End in 1955.

Their son, Charlie Edgley,

manages the arable crops for the

family partnership—around

2,300 acres, mainly of milling

wheat, centred on Kensham Farm

Garsington Opera is based on the

Wormsley Estate at Ibstone and is

thriving.

Lane End is lucky as we are close

enough to join in the community

based events that are organised for

local people.

Two years ago they performed ‘Road

Rage’, an opera written for amateur

choruses with professional lead sing-

ers. Seventy adults, and choirs from

local junior and senior schools came

together for memorable performanc-

es with a professional orchestra on

the opera stage.

This year the adults have been

working with patients at the National

Spinal Injuries Centre at Stoke Man-

deville and performed a musical

based on Tchaikovsky’s ‘Eugene

Onegin’ in April.

People of all ages have been in-

volved, most of whom cannot read

music and have never sung serious

works. The assumption is always

that everyone is a novice. There is

excitement in being taught choruses

by hugely enthusiastic, dynamic and

nationally known professionals.

Report by Andrew MacTavish

The Clarion — Summer 2016 page 51

The reason for these differences in

risk is that ‘asbestos’ is a generic

term, which includes the dangerous

amphibole forms such as ‘Blue’ and

‘Brown’ asbestos, as well as Chryso-

tile, often called ‘White Asbestos’-

which has never caused any ill

health, and is the type of asbestos

used for the manufacture of asbes-

tos cement.

The tall bar in the chart shows the

real risk to health caused by inhaling

the sharp fibres from the amphibole

form of asbestos which was used

before the 1970s in spray applica-

tions of insulation. At that time Gov-

ernments throughout the world real-

ised the danger to workers who

worked in factories using blue and

brown asbestos, where often the

air which they breathed was full of

those harmful asbestos fibres.

That was the reason why all future

mining or use of blue and brown

asbestos was forbidden by law.

The chart also shows some risk to

those factory workers who used to

work for prolonged periods manu-

facturing Asbestos Insulation

Board (‘AIB’) which was used be-

fore 1999 to protect parts of build-

ings from fire risk. The negligible

risk to health from manufactured

products containing asbestos,

such as flooring, car battery cases

and asbestos cement, is shown

clearly. The International Chryso-

tile Association of Canada makes

the point that the only recorded

of farm production has increased

during the past 55 years.

Suitable farm buildings are an

essential part of farm production,

whether in the form of stockyards for

cattle, lambing pens for sheep, pig-

geries, hen houses or just storage

buildings and machinery repair work-

shops. They must all have roofs to

keep dry and can be made from vari-

ous materials including asbestos.

The histogram bar chart below was

published in 2006 in a risk analysis

paper by the UK Health & Safety

Commission and is available to view

on the Government HSE website. It

shows the comparison of risks to

health from different materials which

contain ‘asbestos’.

Risk analysis from the Health & Safety Com-

mission paper HSC/O56/55 showing annual

risk of death per million workers from work-

ing with different asbestos containing materi-

als. The brown bars are spray and other

insulations and ‘AIB’ millboards.

[ Open Farm Sunday 5 June

We look forward to welcoming read-

ers of The Clarion to Kensham Farm

between 2-5pm Sunday 5 June

when we will be open for ‘Open

Farm Sunday’. This is a national ini-

tiative run by LEAF (Linking Environ-

ment and Farming) when around

400 farmers welcome the general

public, especially youngsters, onto

their farms to see how food sold in

the shops is produced on the farms.

We generally alternate this event

with Laceys Family Farm at Bolter

End, so this year it is our turn – but

there should be some of Laceys’

calves on display, as well as our

farm machinery and tractor rides

around our arable fields where we

grow wheat for bread making.

Cadmore End School PTA will serve

teas in our farm machinery work-

shop. Visitors will be able to see

round some of our farm buildings,

including our newest grain dryer and

store for 3,000 tonnes which was

built in 2013. The Svegma grain dry-

er, made in Sweden, can dry the

grain at 46 tonnes per hour, whereas

when we installed the last new con-

tinuous flow grain dryer in 1961 it

was rated at 1.25 tonnes per hour –

[Frieth Cricket Club

Report by Ben Smiley

The season is upon us and Frieth

Cricket Club is enthusiastic to get

going. We were ready to go last

week, but sadly our ground at Par-

moor had a few too many puddles to

make a game possible.

It was fortunate in the end as our

groundsman was able to put his time

into other important jobs. Maintain-

ing a cricket square (the area from

which the wickets are cut) is a non-

stop job, with mowing, rolling, filling

and painting all required on top of

the six hours of preparation that are

needed to get a wicket ready.

Without it, the surface would be

uneven and making batting very diffi-

cult, and possibly unsafe, with incon-

sistent bounces and changes of

direction affecting each delivery. This

crucial work takes place before each

and every match. It’s a demanding

job for our groundsman.

To those that regularly read my

notes, I hope that you have been

able to build up an idea of the type of

club that Frieth Cricket Club is, or at

least aims to be. If you’re new to the

area, or are perhaps reading this

section for the first time, let me give

you a brief history

of our Club.

Frieth Cricket

Club plays on the

top of the Chil-

terns, in Parmoor

(a small hamlet

outside Frieth,

1/2 mile as the

Red Kite flies).

Cricket was rec-

orded as being

played here

about 125 years

ago. The ground

itself is stunning, with views reaching

as far as London, the Thames Valley

into Windsor and all the way to the

Hogsback, a part of the North Downs

near Guildford.

The beauty and serenity that can be

found at the ground is one of the

reasons why we host so many home

games each season. Playing-wise,

we put two sides out each weekend.

Courrier scam advice

There have been reports of courier

fraud where taxis are send to collect

cards or cash. Never give out your

bank details. If in doubt, hang up

your phone and use another phone

(the fraudsters may stay on the line

and trick you into thinking you’re

speaking to somebody new) or

check for the dial tone before making

your next call to your bank to confirm

the identity of the caller.

Litter and Fly Tipping—don’t

put up with it

Dropping litter in streets and other

public places is illegal. If you have an

issue with fly tipping or litter, contact

Wycombe District Council.

However, if you actually witness fly

tipping, call the police immediately

on 999 with descriptions of offenders

and vehicle registration numbers if

possible.

Class went on a

trip that was out

of this world!

Their fantastic visit to the National

Space Centre started with a plane-

tarium show about how to become

an astronaut and an exploration of

the known universe. Whilst training

to be astronauts, the children prac-

ticed using a moonwalker and

looked at the life support machines

they have in space. They used a

space crane to collect items and ex-

amine them and they visited the

‘Columbus’ part of the International

Space Station! It was a truly fantas-

tic day which was enjoyed by all!

visited West Wycombe and Ame-

thyst class have visited Marlow as

part of their local study work in geog-

raphy. Emerald class enjoyed

sketching maps of West Wycombe

as well as finding out about some of

the hidden secrets of the vil-

lage including a fake window and the

old prison! Amethyst class spent

some of their afternoon in Marlow

gathering survey data about the traf-

fic and businesses. We were very

lucky as the sun shone on both days

whilst it was trying to snow in Lane

End!

Report by Ian Harris

We measure lots of

things in our life, in

lots of ways. There

is a leaning toward

a complicated pro-

cess of measuring and analysing

everything we do, measuring exam

results, measuring response times,

measuring customer service levels.

All I suppose for the good of some

sort of improvement structure or in

Government departments to justify a

re-invention of the wheel.

Here at Lane End Scouts (and in the

wider Scouting Community) we

measure things too. We measure

how much fun the young people in

our care have, we measure as a

team what we do, what went well,

how we can improve activities if they

did not go as planned. Not to rein-

vent the wheel I hasten to add, we

work closely to the adage of ‘if it’s

not broken, don’t fix it’, and I can

proudly say that Lane End Scouts

are not broken in any way shape or

form.

The Beaver section is full and oper-

ating a waiting list. The Cub Scout

Section is only a few bodies away

from capacity and The Scout section

will be pretty much full in September.

More than 70 young people on a

weekly basis…Pretty good I’d say.

It’s a healthy situation for the young

people in our Parish who are gaining

such important life skills from the

activities and camps we provide and

a demonstration of the professional-

ism, dedication and support from our

brilliant Leader Team.

Beavers 6 – 8 years of age

The Colony held a Circus/funfair

themed evening recently with various

activities in place such as hook the

duck, tin can alley bowling and they

even got the leader team into some

medieval stocks and pelted them

with wet sponges. All good fun of

course, but more importantly all in

the name of a good cause. The boys

and Girls from Beavers raised a fan-

tastic £100 for the Alzheimer’s Soci-

ety as part of their community award

badge work.

Cubs 8 – 10½ years of age

The Cub Scout section is 100 years

old this year and in late June our

section will be holding a summer

camp to celebrate following a tradi-

tional birthday party theme along

with party games, activities from 100

years ago and an enormous camp

fire for some traditional camp fire

singing and sketches.

The Section, its structure, history

and leaders names are based upon

the Jungle Book written by Rudyard

Kipling who was a friend and sup-

porter of Baden Powell and gave his

Scouts 10½ – 14½

Our first Scout camp

of the year was held

on 8–10 April and

those of you interest-

ed in the weather will recall, high

winds, torrential rain, frosts and a

massive hail storms and that was

all in a 24 hour period! It did noth-

ing to dampen the Scouts’ spirits

though and they spent the weekend

cooking on open fires and a first for

us, sleeping on Saturday night in

hammocks strung between trees

with a waterproof tarpaulin fixed

above it for shelter, Ray Mears

style. A number of them said it was

the best night’s sleep on camp they

have ever had!

I will leave you with an excerpt from

an email from one of the parents of

two children on this camp;

“I have been meaning to write to

you all week and say a massive

thank you to all the leaders for giv-

ing the children a really amazing

experience. They both loved it and

although they are completely tired

out have not stopped talking about

it ever since. The commitment and

effort you put into it is amazing…..”

That’s how we measure things at

Lane End Scout Group!

We welcome support in many ways and in whatever form not just volun-teering to be a leader, you might be

a plumber, electrician or carpenter who could help us with some mainte-nance on our Victorian Headquar-ters, you might even be a generous millionaire! If you’d like to get in-volved with this long-running and priceless youth community asset, then please give me a call.

Many thanks

Nature notes\

Among the best sights of the summer are bright

butterflies fluttering in our gardens and meadows.

But how much do you really know about

these pretty insects?

Article by Katy Dunn

‘Butterflying is all about loitering and pottering. Loitering with

intent. Don’t for a moment think it’s relaxing.’

This is the advice of Matthew

Oates, the National Trust’s

Specialist on Nature. He wrote

a book last year called ‘In

Pursuit of Butterflies’, so he

should know!

However, there is something

wonderful in the loitering,

especially if it’s on a grassy

wildflower meadow on a sunny

day. Moorend Common (on Church Road between Lane End and

Frieth) is perfect for this and you may even get a glimpse of the

rare and spectacular Purple Emperor butterfly (pictured above).

But before you set out, let’s get a few facts straight.

What’s the difference between a butterfly and a moth?

- Moths have feathery antennae and butterflies have smooth

antennae

- Moths are largely nocturnal, while butterflies prefer sunshine

- Most moths rest with their wings in and most butterflies rest with

their wings spread

- Moths tend to have a fatter body than butterflies

How many kinds of butterfly are

there?

There are approximately 60 species

of butterfly in the UK (moths are far

more diverse – there are approxi-

mately 2,500 species of moth)

How long does a butterfly live?

An adult butterfly has an average life

-span of a couple of weeks. Most

butterflies’ lives are shortened in the

wild because of predators, disease

or car crashes.

Where do butterflies go at night?

Most will perch under a leaf, crawl

deep between blades of grass or

find some other shelter and sleep.

What do butterflies do in winter?

Most butterflies spend the winter as

caterpillars or pupas. A few hiber-

nate as adults in holes in trees or

other shelters. Very few spend the

winter as eggs.

What do butterflies eat?

Most adult butterflies drink nectar

from flowers through their tongues,

which function like straws. Caterpil-

lars usually eat leaves. Most spe-

cialise in a particular type of plant,

for example, the Marsh Fritillaries at

Moorend Common like Devil’s-bit-

Scabious, and the Purple Emperors

like sallow trees and oaks.

Where do butterflies lay their

eggs?

Most butterflies lay their eggs on the

types of plants that their caterpillars

like to eat when they hatch. Some

lay their eggs on the tops of leaves,

some underneath, some on flowers

and some on stalks.

Do caterpillars and butterflies

have good eye sight?

Caterpillars can hardly see at all.

Butterflies can see, but very differ-

ently from us. They can see ultravio-

let rays which are invisible to us.

What about their other senses?

Caterpillars and butterflies feel

through sensory hairs all over their

body. A caterpillar smells with its

mouth, but butterflies smell via sense

receptors all over their body. They

page 24 The Clarion — Summer 2016

also taste through their feet. Cater-

pillars startle at loud noises, but but-

terflies hear through their wings.

What’s the difference between a

chrysalis and a cocoon?

Butterflies hatch from a chrysalis,

made from a hardened protein. A

cocoon is spun from silk and sur-

rounds the pupa of many moths.

Why do butterflies have dust on

their wings?

The ‘dust’ is modified hairs called

scales which form the patterns and

bright colours on a butterfly’s wings.

management, the trophy is regarded

as an award for all-round excellence

and goes to the UK’s best dairy

herd. To qualify for the semi finals is

a huge achievement when there are

7500 dairy herds in England. We are

very proud and have our fingers

crossed for the next round.

In the shop, things are progressing

well. Farm diversification plays a

very important part of all farm busi-

ness incomes today, and we can

only continue to do the good work

with our cows if we have a profitable

and sustainable market for the milk.

Dog attacks on the rise

The Chiltern hills are a place

of beauty and we are all lucky to call

it our home, it is a fantastic place to

take the dog for a walk.

Like many other local farms, our

farm is crossed with footpaths, and

is a hive of activity on a nice sunny

day. It pleases me to see so many

people enjoying our farm.

However, there is however a grow-

ing concern. The number of dog at-

tacks on livestock in recent months

has soared. This issue needs to be

highlighted and talked about, so that

the tragic incidences of dog attacks

on livestock can be reduced.

Many of you will have seen Isobel

Bowden in the national papers and

radio in recent weeks. Isobel farms

all over the Wycombe district and

has had issues with dogs far too

much in recent times. She made the

press most recently because two

dogs got in to a field of ewes and

lambs. The lambs were just a few

weeks old and the dogs took to them

like toys, killing over 40 lambs and

wounding many more. She was re-

luctant to tell people about this at

first because it is not a nice story,

but unless it is talked about and

highlighted it will continue to happen.

The dogs that attacked these lambs

are not aggressive, they are family

pets. Their owner had let them out at

night, and their natural instinct to

chase and kill took over. The dam-

age does not end with the deaths—

the stress and injuries caused to the

rest of the flock will have lasting

effects on these animals.

The British public should be

extremely proud of the way livestock

are reared in this country, we have

the highest animal welfare standards

of anywhere in the world, but dog

attacks are something that are out of

control of farmers and landown-

ers. The countryside is there for eve-

ryone, including livestock, so please

if you have a dog remember:

- keep your dog on a lead and under

control when using public footpaths

- don't let dogs out unsupervised

- no matter how small or cute your

dog may be, natural instinct will al-

ways take over.

[ Laceys reaches the semis...

Spring has been a funny one this

year. With such a mild winter and the

grass still growing in December, we

knew it would catch up with us at

some point. Just as we should be

looking to put cows back out to graze

after being in the barns all winter, the

frosts arrived with snow flurries,

heavy rain and hail. It put a hold on

getting the cows back in the fields.

There’s nothing worse than putting a

group of young calves out to graze

for the first time and then seeing the

weather change and them getting

soaking wet and

cold. We’ll hold off

for another day or

two before letting

them out and hope

it improves.

Overall, we have

been really

pleased with how

the cows have per-

formed this winter.

The silage we

made last summer

to feed them over winter has been

very good and milk yields are up

because of this. It’s a nice feeling to

know that the hard work which goes

in during harvest is worth it and

there is extra recognition this year as

we have qualified for the semi finals

of the Gold Cup.

Since its inception in 1920, the Gold

Cup has been the most coveted

award in the dairy industry and has

been won by some of the most influ-

ential breeders. Combining elements

[Lane End Runners

by Chrissie Quinn

On a dark, chilly Monday evening in

January, we started on a programme

to help non-runners on their way to

becoming fully fledged runners. The

15 week aims to take participants

from 0—5k in 15 weeks. We began

with five weeks of brisk walking and

progressed into running over the

next ten.

On Monday 18 April the group com-

pleted their first official 5K and grad-

uated into runners. The course has

been so successful we have now

formed Lane End Runners and will

be competing in our first local race

on 11 June in Stoken-

church. Everyone is welcome to join

us—we meet at 6pm in Lane End

Playing Fields Car Park every Mon-

day and we are now working on a

5—10K programme for the next 10

weeks.

Lane End Runners is completely

free, local and lead by a ‘Leadership

Are probiotic supplements worth the money?

Gut flora balance is the key to a healthy immune system. There are many

things that can wipe out your beneficial bacteria and disturb your gut flora,

including stress, infections, antibiotics, poor diet and prescription drugs. This

can open the door to pathogenic or ‘bad’ bacteria—viruses, yeast and fungi.

When these dominate, it can often result in allergies, inflammation and auto-

immune conditions.

Whilst probiotic supplements can provide some health benefits, the nutrients

from probiotic foods are more bio-available to the body. They work out

cheaper than supplements and have been shown to contain up to 100 times

more beneficial bacteria along with high levels of B vitamins and vitamin C.

Probiotic foods include live yoghurt, fermented vegetables such as sauer-

kraut and miso (a fermented paste used as a flavouring in Japanese foods).

Lesser known ones found in health food shops include kvass, kefir and

kombucha. All are great for good bacteria and can easily be made at home.

Active Bucks is a project created by

Buckinghamshire County Council

across the whole County to help resi-

dents of Buckinghamshire lead hap-

pier, healthier lives.

Too few of us are doing enough

physical activity to benefit our health.

This means we’re missing out on all

the other benefits being active can

bring, such as reducing our risk of

disease and disability, becoming

more independent, connecting with

other local people, our communities,

and improving our mental wellbeing.

So, across the County, from May

through to October, various local

programmes have been organised to

provide activities that are low cost,

easy to access and enjoy .

In this area, under the banner of

‘Gently Does It’, the Lane End

Action Group and Marlow Sports

Club have partnered to promote

weekly 30 minute sessions of Pila-

tes, Yoga and Tai Chi (all ‘in a

Chair’) using three locations - Lane

End Stokenchuch and Marlow.

In addition, there are Walking Foot-

ball sessions in the early evenings in

Lane End and Marlow. Some Gentle

Strolls will also be organised in the

evenings as the weather improves.

Each session is led by an experi-

enced coach or practitioner so that

you can get the most out of the ses-

sions, and above all, enjoy them.

There’s no need to book, although a

quick call or email would be helpful.

The real bonus is that the sessions

are high quality but low outlay –

each costs only £2, payable at the

session.

In return, all that we ask is for you to

complete a short registration at your

first session so that the success of

the project can be measured. Give it

a try and bring your friends!

Report by Mandy Dunning

On Tuesday evenings 6:30-8:30pm

we hold an informal session for 11-

16 year olds and on Wednesday

evenings between 6-8pm we hold

sessions for our younger members

aged 6 to 11, both at the Lane End

Youth & Community

Centre.

There are a number

of activities available

- tennis, pool, film

nights, baking cakes

and pizzas plus a

tuck shop. We also get many ide-

as from our members which we

always try to explore and include.

We are often lucky enough to go

on external trips in the summer too

to places like Thorpe Park.

If you would like your son or daugh-

ter to join, just pop along and speak

to Mark Lockwood or Jeff Collis or

perhaps just get them to pop in one

evening for a trial, you come too if

you like!

A number of parents already help

out as volunteers but we can never

have enough help – so if you can

spare a couple of hours each week,

Mark would love to hear from you.

We will arrange for you to have the

appropriate DBS (formerly CRB)

checks and any training required —

from food hygiene to safeguarding.

We are always looking for opportuni-

ties to promote the young of Lane

End, and at the moment we have a

number of candidates working

towards the Young Leadership

awards for next year.

We have a committee made up of

committed volunteers that meet

quarterly to look after the finances

and policies to keep

the Clubs on track.

We are greatly sup

ported by Ac

tion4Youth, the

leading coordinating

body for voluntary

organisations that

work with children and young peo-

ple in Buckinghamshire. We are

also very fortunate that District

Councillor Ian McEnnis has been

our Chairman many years and is

a great asset to us.

This year the AGM is to be held on

Wednesday 29 June from 8pm. If

you are interested in joining the com-

mittee, please contact the current

secretary Mandy Dunning on man-

[email protected] with your

interests and what you believe you

can do to support the clubs. We cur-

rently have vacancies for Fundrais-

ing and Safeguarding Officer posi-

tions. Perhaps you could benefit the

clubs by simply bringing your

knowledge and expertise - we would

love to hear from you.
