Tributes to car crash victimsTRIBUTES have poured in to the four people who died in the tragic crash on the A540.Friends John Aston, 20, Eddy Smith, 19, Michaela Favager, 19, and Gill Fowle, 43,

were killed when the car hit a tree near the Runnel junction at 2.10am on Sunday 19th July.They had been travelling towards the Wirral in a Vauxhall Tigra when the accident

occurred.It is believed that the car somersaulted several times after hitting the tree before

ending up on its roof.Flowers have been placed at the scene of the tragedy and a Facebook site has been

set up for people to leave their messages of condolence.Paul Casserley wrote: ‘R.I.P. My deepest sympathies go out to everyone who knew

them and their families. A tragic accident. May peace be with you.’Ella Storey wrote: ‘Sometimes God has to call his angels home. Such a heartbreaking

waste, may you all rest in peace.’Thomas Andrew Prosser wrote: ‘It is weird how it just happens like that to good people

that never done anything wrong to people and just lived there lives like they should.’Lynda Thompson wrote: ‘Your lives were too young to be taken. You should never

have been taken in this way.’The cause of the crash remains a mystery, although there are some suggestions that

the car hit a pothole. Police are still appealing for witnesses and will submit their findings to a future inquest.

THERE was much activity at Neston High School recently, when pupils from Neston, St Winefride’s, Parkgate, Willaston, Bishop Wilson and Woodfall Primary Schools along with pupils from Mostyn House School took part in an Eco-picnic. The event marked the opening of the new outdoor classroom at the High School by Alan Beer, director of Beers Timber and Building Supplies Ltd who sponsored the classroom. Pupils picnicked on the grass before taking part in a

round of activities ranging from building bird boxes with the Cheshire Rangers, worm charming, eco-art and visiting birds of prey courtesy of Rockcliffe Raptors. Students from Neston High School acted as hosts at the event organised by Michelle Broughton, the manager of Neston High School’s Leonardo Centre. Judy Gilmour, assistant headteacher (community development) said: ‘The event was a splendid occasion which allowed us to showcase our new

outdoor facility as well as encouraging everyone to take part in activities which are supportive of our environment. “This is a focus for us this year as we, along

with Woodfall Primary, have been successful in obtaining British Council funding to work with partners both locally and with our respective partner schools in Cape Town on a project entitled ‘Eco United’. “The opening of our outdoor classroom and

the eco-picnic form a part of this and I am delighted to say that the day has been so successful that we have been asked to repeat it again next year for more pupils.”

A tasty new arrival for your pet…For many years as a vet I have recommended the use of high qual-ity complete dry foods for healthy pet patients, naming leading top quality brands. From a dietary point of view I am still very happy with this advice. However, over the last year or so, such pet foods have suf-

fered horrendous price increases. Whilst this can be largely explained by costs of commodities, importation and the fall in value of the £, I personally find these huge increases very unacceptable. A second problem I perceive is that these ranges are now so vast

and diverse that they are now almost incomprehensible. As a vet I find that, so what chance do our pet owners have? We have foods for all different ages, so many differing flavours and base ingredients, ones for big dogs, little dogs, medium dogs, “natural diets”, GM free and organic

diets, diets including herbs and all kinds of additives. Even foods for specific breeds. Isn’t a dog a dog any more? Where, oh where, will it all end?So, in recent months, I have set

about creating an alternative! My aim was to source a high quality range of day to day “lifestage” pet foods, for dogs cats & rabbits, which was simple and easy to understand, and affordable, with a target that the selling prices should offer a very significant saving over the current “high end” products. Whilst it’s all kept me very busy indeed, I can definitely say that our Annie & Bramble have been very pleased with the taste of the ones they have tried out!More than that I really can’t

add.....but you may find an advert close by! Yum yum!

NESTON TOWN COUNCILNESTON Town Council met in Neston Parish Church for its second meeting, chaired by Moira Andrews.Mike Shipman was elected as Deputy Chair

following a close vote.The Chairman said she had attended Neston

Village Fair, Willaston Fair, and graduation day at Neston Sure Start, where the children wore gowns and mortarboards, and the Chairman wore her regalia.The Council agreed to join Cheshire

Association of Local Councils (Chalc) who the Chairman pointed out had helped in setting up the Council, from the beginning when Neston Civic Society organised a petition. The annual sub will be £1888. They also agreed to join Cheshire Community Action, a charity that gives grants for local projects. The annual sub will be £100.Mike Shipman raised the

problem of ward boundaries. Pauline English explained that the Boundaries Commission had decided that CWAC should have 75 councillors instead of 73, and proposed two councillors for Neston with Parkgate, and three for an area including Little Neston, Riverside, Burton, Puddington, Willaston, Hooton, Childer Thornton, and Shotwick Park. The chairman presented the Civic Regalia that belonged to Neston Urban District

Council until 1974.Janet Griffiths passed on a request from the Street Scene workers, who keep

our streets clean, for an extra pair of hands from May to September in Parkgate, because of the influx of tourists. Celia Garvey asked for higher quality plants to be planted by CWAC in Neston. The next meeting was fixed for Tuesday August 18 at 6.30 pm in Neston Parish

Church.After the public had left, the Town Council discussed co-option of an extra

councillor for Riverside Ward, and negotiations about a permanent place for the Town Council to meet.

The chairman Moira Andrews presented the Civic Regalia that belonged to Neston Urban District Council until 1974. The regalia has been cleaned by Balducci, in Neston

Market change: NESTON’S Friday Market will relocate onto Brook Street and the site of the former Belmont Cottage. Town centre bus routes will be diverted to accommodate the market and Brook Street will be closed.

“Excellent service extremely pleased with the results. I came home expecting to clean up and it was cleaner than when I’d gone out!”

Mr M. Neston, Wirral

“Michael’s work was of good quality and was performed in a timely, efficient and courteous manner. He also cleaned up well after himself; a rare quality in plasterers.”

Mr P. Meols, Wirral

TIME served plasterer Mike Boyd has just started his new business.Mike does all aspects of plastering as well as rendering, pointing and artex removal.

His speciality that separates him from most of his plastering competitors is that he is also fully qualified in polished plaster and textured walls. Most companies

either offer just the standard plastering or just the polished plastering not many do both.

Mike and his wife Stephanie decided to set up MEB Plastering two months ago. With Mike’s plastering talents and Stephanie’s business experience

they hope to build a successful company over the coming years to cover the Wirral, Cheshire and Merseyside areas.

Said Mike: “We have done lots of research on our competitors pricing so therefore believe we can offer professional services at

affordable prices.“We will offer a 5% discount to customers who return to us for further work.”

The plaudits have already come in for Mike’s work with one Neston man saying: “Excellent service extremely

pleased with the results. I came home expecting to clean up and it was cleaner than when I’d gone out!”

AUGUST IN YOUR GARDENGardening by Janet Heath

AUGUST can be a dull month in the garden as the spring and early summer flowering shrubs and perennials are over and tree foliage can look a bit tired. With a bit of planning, you can have colour in the garden if you concentrate on flowering

perennials and some shrubs. Flowering shrubs include such favourites as hydrangeas, Hypericum Hidcote with its shiny buttercup yellow flowers, Lavatera, which flowers for weeks in shades of white and pink and Buddleia, try the variety Black Knight with its deep purple flowers.If you go for flowers, there are many perennials that will reliably flower every year especially if

you have a sunny border. Campanula lactiflora is tall with clusters of bell flowers in white or pink. For something different and if you have slightly damp soil, consider Inula hookeri which will give you large, yellow delicately fringed daisy flowers about 75cm (30ins) tall in July and August. Pair it with scarlet or deep pink Dahlias for a bright show of summer colour. Gypsophila or Baby’s Breath is an old cottage garden favourite with tiny button white flowers on tall stems (75cm (30ins) which will give you an airy cloud of white. In the vegetable garden you should keep your, salads, tomatoes, beans and courgettes watered.

If you pick them regularly, they will continue to produce. Beans and peas will tend to stop producing if pods are allowed to mature. Late salads and radishes can be sown for cropping in autumn. Try some of the salad leaves for winter such as Land Cress which is similar in flavour to watercress but easier to grow in fertile soil that does not dry out. Spinach can also be sown for winter and spring cropping again in rich fertile soil. August is a good time to clip hedges for the last time in the year. Lavender can also be clipped

back after flowering for bushy growth next year. Remember not to cut back into wood where there is no green growth, as this will kill the plant. Lawns may well be looking tired after long dry spells but they will come back again after early

autumn rains. Rather than waste water on the lawn, just accept the situation!Janet Heath – The Garden Mentor Tel 01244 318258 [email protected]

HEALTH AND BEAUTY

Q. I am very fair skinned and I am going on holiday to a hot country. I always burn, so should I have some sunbed sessions before I go to protect my skin?A. I would never advocate the use of

sunbeds. A suntan is the skins response to exposure to harmful radiation in order to protect itself. In short, a tanned skin is a damaged skin. If you are very fair skinned take sensible precautions – apply a very high factor sunblock at regular intervals, stay out of the sun during the hottest hours and wear a hat. If you want to go brown – fake it with a self-tan product. Either build up the fake tan gradually with a product applied daily or visit a professional therapist for fake tan treatment. Don’t forget that fake tan is purely cosmetic and

will not protect your skin from the sun.

Q. I have small unsightly red veins on my cheeks, how can I remove them?A. These small red veins are often called ‘thread

veins’ or ‘dilated capillaries’ and the ones that have a centre with ‘legs’ radiating out from the centre are called ‘spider naevi’ due to the fact they look like little red spiders! There are a variety of solutions to your problem. Masking them with a remedial camouflage cream or green tinted concealer may be suitable. If this is not acceptable they can be successfully removed with either laser or short wave diathermy, which is also often called advanced electrolysis. Not everyone is suitable for these treatments so ensure that your qualified therapist gives you a consultation prior to treatment. Prevention is always better than cure with

most skin problems so ask your therapist about measures you can take to reduce the likelihood of the formation of further red veins.
