Local women is fundraising for Suzie the Jack Russell in Clifton
By Thomas Hewitt
because I know that Suzie means
a lot to them and they love her to
bits.
A kind-hearted woman is helping
raise funds for the treatment of a
dog after it was left badly wounded.
“I think more dog owners in Clifton
should be more careful because
things like this will happen if you
don’t look after them properly.”
Suzie, a 12-year-old Jack Russell,
suffered horrific injuries to her
torso following a vicious attack by
a Staffordshire Bull Terrier outside
Clifton Cornerstone, leaving her
needing numerous stiches to her
stomach in order to save her life.
Widdowson, who was driving past
the Cornerstone and stopped to
pull the Staffordshire off Suzie’s
torso.
Toni Lancaster, of Gardendale
Avenue, Clifton, has since set
up a donation page through the
crowdfunding website Go Fund Me
to pay for the vet costs, and so far
she has raised more than £190.
“I know that Tracey Etches has also
very kindly put collection tins in
the Cornerstone Café to help raise
more money for Suzie as well.
Toni says she is now determined to
raise the £850 needed in order to
pay for Suzie’s vet bill.
“I just hope that we can bring some
peace to the family, so that they
don’t have to struggle and know
that we have a strong community
here that looks out for one another.”
She said: “I’ve set up the page
because she is a sweet old dog
who wouldn’t harm a fly and I
couldn’t believe it when I heard
how savage the attack was that
happened on her.
Suzie was saved from certain

The parcel courier from Ruddington
has since been keeping in touch
with Suzie’s owners Dave and Jean
Peel following the attack, and says
he could not stand by and watch a
dog be innocently attacked.
He said: “I went with Dave last
week to the vets in Ruddington
and the vet said to us that if I
had arrived 30 seconds later or I
couldn’t have got it off Suzie, then
she would have been dead.
“It makes me happy and proud
to know that she’s still alive and
see Dave and his family smiling,
Dave and Joan Peel, of Rochester
Walk, Clifton, say they are
overwhelmed by the support the
estate has shown them during
the ordeal.
They said: “Suzie is getting better
every day, and we can’t thank Toni,
Alex and the people of Clifton
enough for the kind support
they have shown us during this
difficult time.
“We just hope that owners will be
more responsible and careful when
they are out walking with their dogs
in future.”

Cental College Nottingham charity
cakes bring students together
Nottingham underwater team dive to 50 metres without getting wet
Staff and students from Central
College Nottingham in Clifton were
thinking of others this Easter, as
they held a special bake-off to
raise money for charity.
A team of 12 divers from
Divemaster Scuba Nottingham
travelled to a diver training college
at York.
This was to
experience
the effects of
pressure on the
body by being
pressurised in
a Chamber to
the equivalent of
50 metres. They raised just shy of £65 for
Cancer Research UK by selling
them off at the college.
She won over the judges with
her interesting and delicious
cake which had a great mixture
of spinach, cream cheese and
pomegranate seeds. Beata was presented with a trophy
at the event.
This is the first year that students
got involved in the bake-off, after a
successful staff event last year.
Jane Needham, lecturer at Central,
said: “We hope to make the bakeoff an annual event. It was a lot of
fun for a good cause and it had
benefits for the students.
“For example, they took part in
literacy activities by researching
recipes and practised their
English through handing out flyers
and talking to other students to
promote the event.”

It is designed to take divers down
to the depth needed to treat what is
commonly known as the bends. These sorts of chambers are most
widely used in the context of scuba
divers, both as a means of ensuring
routine decompression from deep
dives and as a way of correcting
decompression sickness.
One of the most important issues
here is that increasing pressure
correlates to increased absorption
of nitrogen, so that the deeper
someone goes the more nitrogen
enters his system.
Divers combat this phenomenon
by taking care to ascend slowly.
This ensures that, as the body
acclimates, nitrogen bubbles
don’t become too large to exit the
blood and can be expelled through
proper breathing. £100 OFF ONLY WITH THIS ADVERT

Underwater pressure is directly

the greater the

more likely that a

SPECIAL CLIFTON TICKET
OFFER ON THE TRAM

Local residents and visitors to Clifton will
also be able to use a £1 Clifton Saver
Short Hop ticket, which will be available
at all times for a single journey within the

Jamie Swift, NET’s Head of Marketing, explained: “Our new line to Clifton has proved
very popular with local residents since it
opened last year and we hope these offers
encourage many more people to discover
the benefits of travelling on the tram.

weeks from Monday, April 18 and will offer
our Clifton customers great savings when
travelling into the city and around the local
area.”
Both the tickets will be available to purchase at tram stop ticket machines within
the network’s Clifton zone which includes
the Clifton South, Summerwood Lane,
Holy Trinity, Clifton Centre, Rivergreen and
Southchurch Drive North Stops.
Promotional posters and flyers are now

Jamie added: “We had a really great response to a photoshoot we held in Clifton
and we’re delighted to have a few local
faces front our new ticket campaign.”

great value £5 Group Ticket will
be available from the earlier time
of 4pm every weekday, offering
unlimited tram travel for two adults,

NET’s Head of Marketing, Jamie
Swift, explained: “Following a
trial late last year, we listened to
responses from groups and families.
They said they liked to use the tram
straight after school or work to help
them get around the city so we’ve
now made the ticket available an
hour earlier.”
The ticket, which can be bought
from all tram stop ticket machines,
will also continue to be available all
day at weekends and during school
holidays. Tram users can also make
use of over 5,000 free parking

Local resident spearheads new Breakfast Show at BBC Radio Nottingham
1. I decided to go in to
broadcasting because:
I fell in love with radio as a child.
Plus, I am very nosey and that’s
perfect for this job.
2. Favourite thing about the job:
Celebrating Nottinghamshire and
having the privilege of meeting
extraordinary people with exciting
stories to tell.
3. Describe Andy in three words
Persistent, generous and he's a
good dad.
A local resident is spearheading BBC Radio Nottingham's new-look
Breakfast Show. Sarah Julian has been a regular on BBC Radio Nottingham
for the past decade.
4. Before presenting the
Breakfast Show on BBC
Radio Nottingham I was:
Either presenting the Sunday
faith show or live reporting on the
Breakfast show, which included
broadcasting from micro-light
over Clumber Park, vaccinating
badgers with Notts Wildlife Trust
and interviewing miners as the last
colliery closed.
She has now she has teamed up with Andy Whittaker to bring the news to
the people of Nottingham each weekday morning. Lets find out a bit more
about Sarah...
5. If I wasn’t a
broadcaster I would be:
A librarian or a lifeguard. It's difficult
to say because I've always known I
want to work in radio but I do love
books and water.
6.Something people would be
surprised to know about me is:
I almost made it into the Guinness
Book of Records for sending a
message in a balloon to USA. They
didn't believe me but it was true.
7. I’m looking forward to:
Taking my children on an interrailing adventure around Europe
8. My favourite thing
about Nottingham is:
The people - they're feisty, funny
and not afraid to say what they
really think
9. Nottingham in three words:
Quirky, arty and historic
10. What advice would
you give people wanting
to get into broadcasting?
Be flexible and resilient. Don't
be afraid to try things which are
challenging or unusual and stick at
it through the knockbacks - there
will be a few.

CLIFTON MAY 2016 EDITION
The stylish Alfa Spider 4C at this years Motor Show
02
Roll on summer - and if you’re
seeking a super car to enjoy fun
in the sun check out the new 4C
Spider from Alfa Romeo.
Here is a drop-top that’s dropdead gorgeous and it’s a car sure
to attract much attention when
displayed by the Alfa Romeo
dealership of Chris Variava at
the Nottingham Motor Show at
Woollaton Hall over the weekend of
June 4 and 5.
Clearly, the iconic Italian brand has
produced a truly outstanding model
in the 4C. Take your pick from the
original coupe version or the Spider
with a roll-up soft-top that can be
stowed in the boot. Together they
signal the dawn of an exciting new
era for the manufacturer that will
see the launch of the first-ever
Alfa Romeo SUV plus new sports
saloons to rival the 3- and 5-Series
cars from BMW. Currently, the
UK line-up is restricted to the 4C,
plus MiTo and Giulietta hatchbacks
with all available through Chris
Variava’s Alfa Romeo showroom at
Nottingham Road, Basford, one of
the brand’s leading dealerships in
the UK.
at the expense of the environment.
The car’s light weight plus the
advanced engine and transmission
technologies ensure emissions
of the 4C fall well within the
strict limits of Euro 6. Its official
combined-cycle fuel economy
figure is 41.5mpg and its CO2
emissions are 157g/km.
Choose a 4C and you’ll enjoy a
compact two-seater that’s not only
exceptionally beautiful but also one
with an outstanding turbocharged,
mid-mounted engine which
produces more power per litre than
that of a Ferrari 458 Speciale.
It also boasts a lightweight chassis
built from exotic carbon fibre, so,
yes, is very much a scaled-down
supercar.
It means the 4C is a pure driving
machine, an uncompromised
thoroughbred marking the
flamboyant brand’s return to the
world of lightweight sports coupes.
Its natural beauty makes it a worthy
descendent of one of the most
beautiful coupes of all time: the Alfa
Romeo 33 Stradale.
Carbon-fibre was chosen for the
one-piece monocoque because of
its high levels of structural rigidity
and exceptionally low weight and
the car is built using sophisticated
Formula 1-derived technologies.
Sheet Moulding Compound,
which is lighter than both steel
and aluminium, is used for the
bodywork and even the thickness
of the glass has been slimmed
down by 15% to help reduce the
overall weight.
Acceleration is stunning. The car
storms from rest to 62mph in just
4.5 seconds, reaching a top speed
of160mph.
But this supercar performance isn’t
In the cabin a multi-function, digital
display occupies the instrument
binnacle in place of traditional
dials and the steering wheel is a
bespoke, flat-bottomed, two-spoke
one with integrated paddle gearshifters. The remaining controls
are grouped together on the tunnel
console, including the buttonoperated TCT transmission selector
and the DNA system selector. The
DNA system alters the operational
parameters of the engine,
transmission, ESC and electronic
Q2 differential depending on the
driver’s requirements.
With composite bucket seats
and aluminium pedals, too, the
minimalistic, driver-focussed cabin
is, indeed, a good place to be,
further reinforcing that the 4C is a
truly special Alfa Romeo.
4C SPIDER. PURE ALFA ROMEO.
It’s no surprise the Alfa Romeo 4C Spider is turning heads. Beautifully crafted from carbon fibre, aluminium and advanced composites, it’s a sports car with both remarkable agility and supercar performance.
Weighing less than 1,000 kilograms, it has an exceptional power-to-weight ratio. And with advanced technologies directly inherited from Formula 1 and aerospace it achieves the perfect balance between elegance

New Kia Sportage to feature at Nottingham Motorshow 2016
UK drivers have given the new Kia
Sportage a huge thumbs-up with
10,000 orders for the model placed
during its first two months on sale
in this country.
Features common across he range
include Trailer Stability Assist, Hillstart Assist, Downhill Brake Control
and cruise control with speed
limiter.
Never before has a new Kia proved
so popular in the UK and during
March the compact SUV accounted for 46% of the brand’s
total sales here.
An increased wheelbase has made
the five-seat cabin more spacious
with greater legroom and headroom
front and rear. Boot capacity has
risen by 26 litres at 491 litres with
all seats in use or 1,480 litres when
they’re folded.
Owners of previous Sportage
models and new customers have
taken the latest range to their
hearts and it’s a vehicle certain to
attract much attention when it’s
displayed by the Nottingham Kia
dealership of NK Motors at next
month’s motor show.
Kia has produced a winner by
creating a car that’s stylish as well
as practical with the super-duper
SUV further appealing by having a real classy feel while also
featuring more efficient engines
together with advanced driver
assistance technology.
Altogether 18 versions of the
fourth-generation model are
available, priced from £17,995 and
including a new GT-Line trim level
for drivers seeking a particularly
sporty Sportage.
These versions stand alone in
being powered by a new 1.6-litre
turbocharged direct injection
petrol engine linked to a sevenspeed dual-clutch automatic
gearbox while other models
have extensively re-engineered
1.6-litre GDi petrol and 1.7- and
2.0-litreturbodiesel power units
delivering improved fuel economy
and CO2 reductions of up to 29g/
km, which means significantly lower
company car tax for the Sportage’s
loyal legions of business drivers.
Kia has won legions of fans by
offering drivers a lot for their
money and in the case of the new
Sportage buyers get an extensive
spread of equipment.
Add a five-star safety rating from
Euro NCAP plus the company’s
unique-in-the-UK sevenyear/100,000-mile warranty which
is fully transferable should the car
be sold before the time or mileage
limits have been reached and
the new Sportage represents an
attractive proposition for anyone
considering a compact SUV/
crossover vehicle.

The stunning Abarth range coming soon at t.i.m Motors
t.i.m Motors are delighted to
announce that as of June 2016 they
are the of official Abarth dealer for
the Nottingham area.
Alongside racing, the company
started to produce tuning kits that
improved performance, power and
speed of standard vehicles.
Abarth is an Italian racing brand
and with a great tradition of
developing and upgrading compact
sports cars.
In the following years, the Abarth
brand continuously and incessantly
made a name for itself in the public
mind as the synonym for sport,
tuning and performance, changing
the sports car world.
“We’re very pleased to welcome
t.i.m Motors as the of official
home of Abarth for Nottingham,”
said Gerry Southerington, Abarth
Brand Manager. “These stylish and
powerful little cars are a perfect
addition to their dealership.”
Back in 1949, Carlo Abarth wanted
to build road cars with racing
elements by having performance
stemming from excellent tuning and
set-up, to get the very best from
every machine.
Today, that philosophy is still
serving Abarth well, as evidenced
by the impressive range of small,
precise handling cars with mean
little engines. The latest of which is
the Abarth 124 Spider, available to
pre-order now and in showrooms
this September.
“It’s exciting for us to be involved
in this historic brand, with its
strong ties to motor racing and
performance,” said Phil Henery,
t.i.m Motors. “They’re engaging,
agile compact cars – we’re looking
forward to the challenge of keeping
up with them!”
Today, over 65 years on from its
origins, Carlo Abarth’s vision to
take modest everyday cars and
achieve levels of performance
through design and engineering
excellence is more alive than ever
and apparent in the Abarth 595,
Turismo, Competizione and Biposto
695 models.
Carlo Abarth founded the Abarth &
C. S.p.A. with Cisitalia racing driver
Guido Scagliarini in Bologna in
1949 using his astrological sign, the
Scorpion, as the company logo.
For more information come and see us at the Nottingham
Motor Show 2016!
The first vehicle produced was a
204 A Roadster, based on the FIAT
1100. It immediately won the 1100
Sport Championship as well as
Formula 2.

10 CHRIS VARIAVA
30 years in business in Nottingham and the East Midlands Part 2
The second of a two part Your
Local Motors special on Chris
Variava. Last month we heard how
Chris Variava began, read on to see
how the company has gone from
strength to strength.
Chris continues: “We’ve added the
franchises of Alfa Romeo, Jeep
and Suzuki to our portfolio over
the last few years and enjoyed
great success with them. It means
that have been able to offer a
wide range of desirable vehicles
to customers which bring them
into our showroom. Our used car
selection also offers motorists a
huge amount of choice and quality”
Jeep is one of the fastest growing
automotive franchises in the UK
with the brand’s first compact SUV,
the Renegade hitting the spot! The
Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV electrichybrid SUV has been a magnificent
success story for Mitsubishi and
the New L200 Pick-up has been
warmly welcomed. The L200 has
always been a best-seller and this
new generation model has just
They’ve bought cars and continue
to have them maintained by us.
Indeed, we are now seeing their
children visiting our dealership
to buy vehicles or to use the
facilities offered by our workshop
operation.”
Chris Variava pictured in 2002
been voted “Best Pick-up” by Auto
Express.
Suzuki’s sleek new Baleno is set
to debut here soon, bringing with
it incredible engine and hybrid
technology. The New Vitara is
selling very strongly too along with
the Celerio city car offering the
best turning circle in its class, low
CO2 emissions and an ultra low
combined fuel consumption figure
of 65.7mpg.
Chris Variava continues: “Of
course, many things have changed
over the last three decades but
the fundamental principals remain
the same, and that’s looking after
customers. While our franchises
have certainly helped the business
flourish, it is the people within our fantastic team who have played a major role in the success
of the company.
They all have a remit to look after
customers, and each and every
member of our team works closely
to ensure that all our customers
gain the finest possible service.
Word of mouth recommendation is
important and many of our current
customers have been with us since
day one.
“I’d like to thank all our customers
for their loyalty and their business

Kate Blatherwick: What do you believe?
Montel aiming high for the Olympics
Our beliefs make us the person that
we are. Our beliefs were absorbed
and created.
Clifton teenager Montel Nevers
is aiming for the pinnacle of any
sportsperson by competing in the
Olympic Games.
Our beliefs are then fine-tuned right
from when we were very young
through to now.
Rio 2016 is probably a bit to soon
for the triple jump athlete, but
Tokyo 2020 is in his sights.
But what if we have unhelpful,
limiting beliefs.
The 19-year-old is currently
at Leeds University doing a
Geography degree.
These things might be “I’m not
good enough” or “nothing will ever
change, that’s just the way life is”?
Henry Ford famously quoted:
“Whether you think you can, or you
think you can’t – you’re right”.
If we don’t challenge ourselves,
nothing will change.
If you do what we’ve always done,
you’ll get what you’ve always got!
The good news is that it doesn’t
have to be like that.
We can’t change other people
but we can change ourselves, our
behaviours and our beliefs.
If you ever find yourself thinking or
saying “I can’t because...”.

As a youngster, he attended
Dovecote Primary, Farnborough
Secondary School and then
Emmanuel School.
Back in 2011, he won the
Nottingham Post Student of the
Year competition.
His triple jump medals are already
mounting up and his success on
the track has been fantastic.
Montel won his first national
championship at the age of 14 and
won the English school title three
times at each age category from
junior to intermediate and senior.
He has already broken the BUCS
indoor championship record and
represented Great Britain juniors
last year. He also came fifth at
European juniors in Sweden.

GARDENING
Find us on Facebook.com/nottslocalnews
Duncan Ross can help you with a perfect garden this summer
The density of new housing has
increased over the years and
new houses have been built onto
old plots.
Changes made to the garden that
may effect privacy, must be made
sympathetically with any legal
constraints.
Combine this with a greater wish
to be outdoors in the sunshine,
using the garden to entertain
friends and relax in means the
issue of privacy has become ever
more important.
Trees may have Preservation
Orders on them (TPOs) and
cannot be touched without council
permission.
Decking that sits over 300mm (1
foot) above the existing ground
level, must make sure to have
planning permission.
This creates both challenges
and opportunities for effective
landscaping.
We have all heard of neighbours
falling out as a result of conifer
hedging that gets out of control,
blocking light and air, in the desire
to have some screening.
There are so many nice ways that
can be found to screen and make
the garden more attractive to the
benefit of the home owner, their
neighbours and the environment
as well.
Thankfully, with a bit of knowledge
and thought, more successful
means are available that will tick all
the boxes.
Doing it properly first time will
save money and potentially an
unnecessary fallout between
neighbours.
It also doesn’t impact on their
neighbours and still complies with
the laws and Acts that do exist to
curb excesses.
New fencing needs usually to be
under two meters tall, as does
hedging, without the specific
agreement from your neighbour.
In my experience, from a landscape
designer’s point of view, privacy is
very high on the customer’s wish
list.
Being overlooked by neighbours
or passers-by can be dealt with
effectively and yet still achieve a
pleasant outcome.

Make sure you spring forward with a quality Prograss lawn
Dare we say that we can look past
winter and start thinking about
what we should be doing in the
garden now a seemingly second
spring has arrived?
We have had a strange few months
weather wise, which has been
almost back to front, with a late,
short and cold winter that seems to
have followed an early spring.
These conditions have combined
to make lawns very green, wet
and mossy.
Now is the time to get organised
and contact Prograss.
Prograss are your local,
independent, qualified, lawn
specialists and they can give you
a free, no-obligation lawn health
check and report on how to make
your garden look fantastic in 2016.
If your lawn looks good and healthy
then the rest will follow suit and it
will also make you want to make
the effort to get out in the fresh air
and enjoy doing the borders, etc.
Prograss make sure they use
only the highest quality products on
your garden.
These are applied with professional
equipment and the process in
undertaken by qualified operators.
What usually surprises Prograss
customers is more often than not
the price is not far away from what
you would pay if you bought lesseffective products yourself from
garden centres.
Also, if mechanical treatments
are required - hollow tine aeration
and scarification - Prograss use
the best heavy duty, commercial
machinery that is suitable for
domestic gardens.
Treatments start at just £15 and for
your free lawn health check, please

health and looks. Understanding

and work experience.
Your lawn will be assessed by a
trained agronomist with over 25
years' experience. The assessment

individual programme that will
maximise the potential of your
lawn. The results will be obvious.

FASCIAS & GUTTERS
Don’t be fooled by cheap prices! Capping over existing
fascias will ruin your home. It causes sweating, will rot
away old boards and eventually put dry rot through your
roofing timbers. Don’t be fooled by those who say they
cut rotten wood first then cap over.

Success for local residents in Devizes to Westminster race
The Devizes to Westminster race
starts in the small rural town of
Devizes in Wiltshire and follows
the Kennet and Avon Canal until
it meets the Thames in Reading.
From Reading, the Thames passes
through the well-known towns of
Henley and Marlow until you reach
the outskirts of London.
Alex finished the day in third place,
Sarah in 25th (fourth lady). The
weather on Easter Saturday was
not so pleasant, with a strong
wind making the paddling tough.
This stage took the competitors
from Newbury to Marlow, on the
Unfortunately, the fourth day of
racing was cancelled because of
storm Katie, resulting in Nottingham
finishing on the podium with
Alex in third place and Sarah as
second lady. Meanwhile, on Easter
Saturday the straight through
The river then widens as the tidal
part of the river below Teddington is
reached. This is the most daunting
part of the race, paddling under
bridge after bridge until you reach
Westminster Bridge and the finish.
Nottingham Kayak Club had four
entries into this iconic race in 2016.
Alex Abraham and Sarah Millest
were taking part in the Senior
Singles race, racing over four days.
Kat Wilson & Alexandra Lane and
Paul Lowe & Gary Lowe were
taking on the race in the Senior
Doubles class – paddling straight
through from start to finish, with
125 miles of paddling and 77 locks
to portage on the way.
Alex and Sarah set off on Good
Friday, racing the first stage from
Devizes to Newbury along the
canal. Around half the locks are
tackled in this day, making it tiring.

they stayed warm as darkness, and

From the canal the crews paddled

were flying – way ahead of the
