Fighting fres

POLICE in Heswall have been tring to track down the people who have been startingres in elds around the town.

Inspector Steve Hall said: Of concern has been an increase in the number of

incidents whereby young people have been congregating and setting re to litter,

shrubs and street

furniture.

This in itself is anti-social behaviour and has a damaging effect on the local

community. It also has other potential consequences when these res are on Whiteld

Common, The Pudddale and in The Dale

Due to the weather, a more serious incident could develop and so I am keen to

identif the perpetrators and deal with them accordingl. We are therefore working withWirral Anti-Social Behaviour Team and Merseside Fire Service in order to deter this

behaviour.

More patrols in Lower Heswall

EXTRA police patrols have gone out in Lower Heswall following a string of burglaries in

the area. Ofcers have also given advice on crime prevention and property marking.

l Michael Peers, 20, from Woodeld Road, Heswall, was arrested and charged with

Weather forecast for tonight: dark - George Carlin

It is good o hear of a localbusiness expanding andperhaps his is a enaivesign of an upurn in heeconomic climae?

SkinFirst are a specialist skin clinic fornon- invasive aesthetic treatments, usingthe very latest and safest technology,so maybe their rapid growth in Heswall

is due to a recognition that anti-ageingtreatments are now around which yieldexcellent results, without recourse todrastic action?

Or maybe the success of SkinFirst isdown to the calibre and commitmentof the team whorun the business,driven always by

the mantra: Goodenough is NEVERgood enough?

Or could it bethat they havejust got the mixright in terms ofpricing, in this eld which has been, formany years, dominated by the medicalpractices who seek to recover the highest

possible nancial returns?

Expansion

Whatever the reasons, it is a formulathat is not just working in Heswall, butelsewhere, as SkinFirst have opened3 other clinics in Cheshire (StocktonHeath, Knutsford and Congleton) in thelast nine months and are set to openmany more around the Country.

SkinFirst are the only local clinic tohave a water and oxygen machine,

for deep dermal cleansing and foroxygenating at the lower cellularlevels (great for acne, especially whencombined with their light based acnetreatment) and the only local clinic tohave both bipolar and monopolar radiofrequency, for both supercial and deeplines, wrinkles and skin tightening. Ifthis technology is unfamiliar to you,they welcome you to pop in for a chat, to

explain, completely without obligation.

SkinFirst started out last Septemberin Heswall in a small room above ahairdressing salon, and they have nowtaken their own retail premises next

to Thorntons, over2 oors. They willbe having an ofcial

launch on Friday 1stJuly but are takingbookings beforehandon 0151 342 2409.At the launch event(which will run from10am until 4pm) there

Flower club joins in Ness celebrationsHESWALL & Neston Flower Clubs joined Ness Botanic

Gardens in May to create a three-day oral exhibition

to celebrate 150 years of Arthur Kilpin Bulleys vision,

Beginnings & Beond.

Arthur Kilpin Bulley (1861-1942) had a Vicorian ethic of

public service having the gardens created for his own

delight then sharing his pleasure b opening them to

the public. In 1948 the gardens were given to Liverpool

University by Lois Bulley as a practical and tting tribute

to her father. These links still remain.

As links between China and Ness were strengthened

at Shanghais Expo 2010 and Liverpool has the oldest

Chinese communit in Britain, educational and cultural

links are strong and the oral displays reected this

oriental theme as well as the link with Bees Seeds Ltd.

Mrs June Lanceln Green MBE & friends helped re-create the histor of these events

with readings & character enactments.

If God wanted us to bend over hed put diamonds on the oor - Joan Rivers

Fiction: Island beneath the Sea by Isabel Allende

It is 1770 and Tt, born into slavery on Saint-Domingue,

has survived a childhood of brutalit and fear. When

ambitious Toulose Valmorain arrives on the island he

purchases young Tte as his bride. But bloody revolution

arrives at the plantation gates and they must ee the

threatening chaos of the colon which will become Haiti

for the raucous , free-wheeling enterprise of New Orleans.

There, Tt nally has the chance to forge a new life, but

onl if she can sever her ties to her husband. Spanningfour decades this is the moving stor of one womans

determination to nd love amid loss, to offer humanity to

others in spite of the wa she herself has been treated, and

to forge her own identit in the cruellest of circumstances. Full of the wonderful and

rich descriptions that have made Allende so popular with so man readers through the

ears.

Non-Fiction: To Miss with Love

by Katharine Birbalsingh

A third of teachers leave within their rst term on the job.

This one wouldnt quit for all the world. Written in the form of

a diar and spanning a ear of shocking truths and hard-won

victories, of ghts and phone-thefts, teenage pregnancies

and the dreaded OFSTED report, this is the remarkable

autobiograph of an inner-cit school teacher. Revealing the

extraordinar chaos, mismanagement and wrong-thinking

that plague our education sstem, it is a funn, surprising

and sometimes heartbreaking journe from the frontlines of

the classroom to the heart of modern Britain. Recommended

for trainee teachers and parents who want a greater insight

into what goes on in our schools.

Gardening: Gardening Women by Catherine Horwood

From Flora, Roman Goddess of plants, to todays gardeners at Kew, women

have alwas gardened, growing vegetables for their kitchens and herbs for their

medicine cupboards. The have been featured in footnotes in horticultural annuals

for specimens collected abroad, and taught ounger women about gardening man

years before womens horticultural schools ofcially existed. Their inuence on the

stle of our gardens, frequentl unacknowledged, survives to the present da. In

this beautifull illustrated book Catherine Horwood, a passionate gardener herself,

attempts to redress the balance in a collection of true stories which are a celebration

of women who changed a male-dominated activit to one that is enjoed b all. Abrilliant present for an woman who loves gardening.
