ONE MAN AND HIS DOG by Stephen Guy, West Derby Society
The policeman was on his beat outside the mansion when he spotted a dog running about on the road outside. Pc 269 took immediate action, picked up the dog in Moss Lane (now Queens Drive) and knocked on the door of the
imposing residence to enquire about the stray animal. It was Sunday 12 September 1875 and the officer doubtless knew who lived at Basil Grange, Sandfield Park – prominent magistrate James Lister, who gave his name to nearby Lister Drive. The JP was the
biggest fish caught in a police swoop that netted 100 people who allowed their dogs to be at large without a lead. Lister was summonsed to appear at L i v e r p o o l Magistrates’ Court along with all the others. At first he tried to bluster it out, telling
the court: “I have two dogs and they are never allowed to go at large without somebody being with

them. “I was in church at the time. I have two little dogs and they are in the habit of going from my grounds to the coachman’s lodge but to get there they must go into the high road. The animals are quite harmless.” Lister puffed out his chest and declared: “A little discrimination would have told the police that there was really nothing in it. There has been too much zeal shown.” However, his fellow magistrate trying the case, Lt Col Bidwill, had done his homework and upon closer questioning Lister admitted that his dog did not have to cross the road to get to the lodge.
There is a short private drive from Basil Grange (pictured) to the lodge. Lister still insisted the dog was under his control even though it was not on a lead and he was in church! He was fined 2s 6d (12.5p) and ordered to pay 5s 6d (27.5p) costs.
A repentant Lister told the court: “Quite right and I am happy to pay it.” Another defendant, Charles Nye of Edge Lane, produced his little dog in court, denying it had been at large because he was nearby at the time. He was told the law required that
dogs must be on a lead. Nye and all the other 98 defendants paid the same penalty. • Join the West Derby Society at the West Derby Courthouse (built 1586) in the Village - open 2 pm to 4 pm every Sunday, April to October.

Concept Taekwondo Girls kick their way to the British Open finals by Peter Harrison Now that the Olympics have finished attention is drawn to some of our home grown talent: in July, two of Liverpool’s brightest taekwondo stars Amy Kristiansen and Ruby Lee were both victorious in one of the biggest taekwondo events of the year. Both girls were in the medals, reaching the finals in a very tough competition watched by over 2000 people at the K2 Centre in London which hosted the 2012 British Taekwondo Open. Amy, aged 13, who has only taken up the sport in the last twelve months, convincingly won her semi-final 13-1 against Hannah Plowright from TKD Academy Liverpool. Ruby, aged 7, also won her semi-final 13-1 against Kang Han’s TKD Tahya Fells. In her best performance to date, Ruby showed her class throughout a one-sided fight with an array of amazing kicks to the head and body. Amy went on to the final with a tough contest against London’s Zaynab Farrugia from Hadri TKD; this was a hard fought fight but Amy dominated throughout and led all the way to the buzzer where she won gold with 13 points to 7 to become British Open champion at C class in the -51kg category. Ruby had a very tough opponent in the final where she came up against the experienced A class fighter Joanna Santos. Ruby worked
hard throughout the final, but just could not land the scoring kicks she needed. Santos led the fight 4-1 but Ruby could not close the gap in time; Ruby won silver in the A class division at -26kg which is a great achievement for the B class fighter. Both girls now move on to the British National Open in September at Manchester’s
Velodrome. Concept TKD train at Alder Sports Club Tuesdays 6pm till 8pm and also at the Millennium Centre West Derby Mondays 6.30 pm to 8.30pm. All ages welcome in a safe and enjoyable environment. Pictured are Amy and Ruby with their medals after the competition.

MAJOR DEVELOPMENT FOR EAST LIVERPOOL FINAL detailed discussions are Liverpool that desperately needs jobs in underway with a developer order to be able to give the local commuabout a potential facility for a nity hope for the future, and will transglobal company which would create over 1,000 jobs in east Liverpool. Liverpool City Mayor Joe Anderson was recently approached by a developer that had identified the council-owned Stonebridge Cross site off the East Lancs Road in Gilmoss as the preferred location for a major new facility. A planning application is due to be submitted at the end of August, and if successful the scheme could be complete by autumn 2013. A consultation is already getting underway with the local community to inform them about the potential proposals. Mayor Joe Anderson said: “This is a hugely exciting proposal which has the potential to be a real game changer for this part of the city. “It will create over a thousand quality jobs on a scale which has not been seen for many decades. “They approached me following the media coverage we have had as a business friendly city, and attracted by the speed of decision making that the new Mayoral arrangements can deliver. “This is really good news for a part of
form the lives of many people.” The council remains committed to delivering the original plans for the site
which included new homes, retail development and a new St John Bosco school, on alternative land.

in the towering, sinister trees. Slowly out of the menacing night they heard chilling howls sounding like lost souls. At first the travellers thought it was the wailing wind in the tree tops but the sound gradually grew louder and louder. Then there was the padding of dozens of feet in the snow. The man put his head out of the window and peered into the velvet darkness. The pack of wolves was getting closer – then one huge brute broke away from the rest and leapt at the coach. It ferociously clawed at the wheel but caught its paw and fell yelping into the snow. Other wolves, crazed with hunger, fell upon the injured beast, tearing it apart in a feeding frenzy. The man fell back into his seat and reassuringly hugged his wife and child. The forest was thinning and the road was widening – soon they reached the station and a train heading west to safety. It was 1871 and my great-grandfather Count Julius
To advertise see page TWO Valdemart was leaving Silesia for the last time with his wife Elisabeth and threeyear-old son Ferdinand. The Count is pictured in the ceremonial uniform of the Valdemarts. His family had lived in their turreted fortress home in the Sudeten Mountains for hundreds of years. Silesia was rich in natural resources and the Valdemarts owned lucrative coal and copper mines as well as stone quarries. Silesia’s valuable resources attracted the attention of the Prussians and in 1742 most of the region was absorbed by the growing imperial power in the War of the Austrian Succession.
The Valdemarts, however, were little affected at first in their remote mountain stronghold. The final straw came when Silesia became part of the German Empire with the formation of the German state. Julius and Elisabeth felt they must leave and start anew. Through family interests, they knew Liverpool quite well – Julius had visited once or twice as part of his business dealings and now decided this was where they could flourish. In those days no passports were required and few questions asked – and a solid oak chest full of gold accompanied the Valdemarts to Liverpool. Julius, who was
born in 1835, left six younger brothers in Silesia – Wenceslaus, Sigmund, Frederick, Henry, Charles and Gerhard. Once the family home was sold they also settled in Liverpool. Over the years our family amassed many strange tales from at home and abroad. Letters and documents form a unique archive of the unexpected. I have preserved and collated them here in the library at the family home in Liverpool, originally built by my greatgrandfather, and will share them with you over coming months. • Read my first Strange Tale – The All-Seeing Eye – starting in next month’s Link.

The 5k route will be marshalled by stewards and will take in the lovely grounds of Croxteth Park including the Riding School.

A certificate and goody bag will be given for each dog at the end of the walk.

Liverpool’s Lord Mayor, Councillor Sharon Sullivan said: “This is a fantastic opportunity for members of the public to visit one of the city’s most stunning buildings. “Too often we overlook such gems that are right on our doorstep, but I hope we can encourage as many people as possible to come and visit us and see for themselves the history and beauty of this magnificent building.” On entering the building visitors will be greeted by the splendid Flemish wooden fireplace from 1893.

Bruno is a handsome and friendly eight year old Black and Grey Cocker Spaniel at Dogs Trust Merseyside. He came to the rehoming centre from the dog warden who brought him in as his family didn’t want him anymore. Bruno has got cataracts which restrict his vision, but he is currently undergoing tests at the centre to determine whether this is operable. Despite his eyesight problems Bruno is bouncy and full of energy! However he does need a lot of human company and gets very distressed when left alone. He therefore needs to be rehomed with someone who is at home a lot of the time. Bruno can be rehomed with children aged over eight but not with cats. The rehoming centre is also currently running desperately low on stocks of tinned dog food, so is appealing to readers for any tins they can spare. If you would like to offer a home to Bruno or have any donations of tinned food please call Dogs Trust Merseyside directly on 0151 480 0660, visit the centre at Whiston Lane, Huyton, L36 6HP or visit www.dogstrust.org.uk

We first started a relationship with food when we were in our mother’s womb. We would tell our mum what kind of food we need to grow. This is why most mothers will have food cravings. The baby is telling its mum what it needs. As we get older we are told what we should and shouldn’t eat which in turn ruins our relationship with food. If we go back to our earlier years and eat what we feel like, over time we will eat a
19
healthy diet, I believe. The key to success here is to eat when you are hungry and stop when you are satisfied. When you have eaten too much your body will give off a sign that it has taken in too much, i.e. indigestion, stomach ache, burping, etc. Imagine you have a chart in your head. So, for example, 1 = so hungry you could eat a horse and 10 = so full you could burst: only try and eat when you are at a 5 and stop when you are at a 6. So you can eat anything provided you follow that
guideline. The second point here is to drink plenty of water. When you go into dehydration mode your body may give off a signal that it is thirsty and this can get misinterpreted for being hungry. Vital organs like the liver, brain etc. need water so you should always make sure you are hydrated. The best way to do this is to check your urine once or twice throughout the day to see how clear it is. The clearer it is, the more hydrated you are. My third point here is to think about what to achieve. As you are seeing yourself achieving this new goal, ask yourself : ‘why am I doing this?’, then ask yourself: ‘what do I need to do to achieve x?’ Finally when you have a moment to relax, visualise yourself going into a cinema, “sit at the back row” and watch a film about yourself, but fitter and slimmer and with new confidence. Watch the film back and forth a few times. When you’re ready, in your mind enter the film and live the experience of feeling fitter, slimmer and more confident. If there is any sound in the film, turn it up. If there are any feelings, spread them around your body. Really try and get in touch with the feelings your new weight and fitness give you. This exercise will sharpen your modalities towards your outcome and will help you become more motivated towards your goal.
