Tributes to car crash victims

TRIBUTES 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.’
COMMUNITY

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.
4 Police are still appealing for witnesses and will submit their findings to a future inquest.

Pupils get
a taste of
the great
outdoors

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
COMMUNITY

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
10 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

diets, diets including herbs and all

q NESTON police have been visiting areas in the town where youths gather in an
attempt to tackle anti-social behaviour. The hot-spots are Drake Road, Flint Meadow,
the Clayhill and the back of the Library.

q POLICE dealt with nearly 870 incidents in Neston, Parkgate, Burton and Willaston
over the last three months, including escaped lambs, a charity box theft, two distraction
burglaries and many cases of rowdy behaviour in the town centre.

FOCUS ON: MEBoyd Plastering

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 GARDEN

Gardening 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!

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.
