[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/
stile, or damaged/missing signage
please let me know on 881170
My thanks to my merry bunch of

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?

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
knows, maybe France

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-

Report by Jane Osborn
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.

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.

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.

site garsingtonopera.org to find out
what community activity is planned
for the future.

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.

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.

round some of our farm buildings,
including our newest grain dryer and

[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.

Bucks League Division 1, having

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.

ticed using a moonwalker and
looked at the life support machines

[Lane End Scouts
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.

and leaders names are based upon

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.

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!

organised a highly successful ‘Clean
for the Queen’ litter pick at the begin-
ning of March and the village really
did look immaculate. My very grateful
thanks to all those who participated
in the clear up.
Sadly more rubbish started to appear
soon afterwards. Some of the worst
offenders are car travellers ‘chucking’
litter out of windows and so littering
our roadsides. The roads to Bolter
End, to Wheeler End and to Sands
are prime examples of this wanton
vandalism – and must stop.
Please respect our beautiful country-
side for the enjoyment of all - do re-

home or find a litter bin.
Should anybody wish to clear away
rubbish from the vicinity of their
home I have a few spare litter pick-
ers which you would find very use-
ful. Do contact me if interested.

[Lane End Youth Clubs
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

body for voluntary
organisations that

ple in Buckinghamshire. We are
also very fortunate that District
Councillor Ian McEnnis has been

you are interested in joining the com-
mittee, please contact the current
