Issue 70 West Derby & Croxteth Park April 2012
The monthly independent advertiser 15,000 copies 12,000 into Homes 3,000 into Businesses
BIG changes have been made to the Link from today….and YOU, our readers and advertisers alike, are the winners. You can see today’s issue is much bigger, brighter and will be seen in a lot more homes which are being added to our growing family. Also from today the Link becomes the local free title being delivered to more homes in West Derby than any other regular publication. From today 12,000 homes will receive a free copy of the Link in addition to a further 3,000 copies being made available at business premises and local supermarkets. That’s a total of 15,000 copies being distributed EVERY month. And it’s all down to the hard work and determination of two ladies….Moira Hesketh and Dawn Williams, who had a dream of establishing an entirely independent affordable advertising publication . Both highly skilled in the world of newspaper advertising Moira and Dawn have not only achieved their ambition but are quick to recognise that improving their publication is the number one priority. Take the size: Yes,
the Link is now Tabloid on very good quality newsprint and - if you have an eye for detail you will have noticed that it is stapled to provide an overall neat and easy to handle product. It goes without saying that you can’t stand still in any business these days. The improved benefit for advertisers is that your message will reach a lot more readers. When it comes to the cost for advertising space, the Link’s your best vehicle to get the right message across at the right price. For instance: An advertisement in the Link of 6.5cm deep x 9cm wide will cost from only £41.66 for 15,000 distribution compared with the cost of a same size advertisement with other local titles of £32 for only 2,000 distribution. The difference is that the Link costs only £2.77 per thousand copies compared to an astonishing £16.00 per thousand with others! How’s that for good business… One of the biggest improvements is for you, our readers. More space for your news and pictures. Yes, Moira and Dawn want to hear a lot more from YOU. If you are in a club like the scouts, brownies,
guides, women’s or district social and community organisations or sports clubs then they want to offer you FREE space to tell Link readers about your activities. The Link is opening up its columns for reports and pictures of your events and happenings. So if you’ve always fancied trying your hand at being a reporter then here’s your chance. It may be you want to tell people when something is going to happen or it may be you want to report on an event which has already been and gone in the weeks before the Link is published. That’s fine, but why not include a picture with your report as well? And it couldn’t be easier: Just write your report and send it to Moira and Dawn at the Link e-mail site at the end of this report, together with your name, whether you hold an official post with your organisation, and your telephone number. The only thing to remember is deadlines…the Link prints in the last week of each month for distribution a couple of days before the start of the next month. Play safe and plan ahead to get your “copy” in really early. You need to “Think the

Dawn Williams Link” needs to have your report before the middle of the month and you will be fine. Some of you might like to start the ball rolling by sending your views on your new-look Link. So how’s that for a good deal if you belong to a club, school or any
Moira Hesketh other organisation. It’s over to you now to help us make the Link even better and full of news of your own organisation. Remember the Link keeps you in touch with the people and essential businesses around you…thanks to two women who pushed
ahead with a plan to launch a title which they wanted to be truly independent. *Send e-mails to: westderbylink@yahoo. co.uk **Telephone Moira on 07930 654264 or Dawn on 07930 874594

Crowds turned out to welcome the popular prince as he arrived by royal train at the newly-opened station. Albert Edward, Prince of Wales, stepped down on to the red carpet at West Derby Station to be met by the Earl of Sefton and Lord Castlereagh. The Earl’s immaculate carriage, bearing his coat of arms, was drawn up in Mill Lane. The prince, Queen Victoria’s eldest son and the future Edward VII, was soon on his way to Croxteth Hall. As The Daily News reported at the time: “The royal party, who travelled by special train from Lincoln, were warmly greeted by spectators assembled at the station and the entrance to Croxteth Park.”
West Derby Station is pictured about 1930 with an electric tram rumbling past. It was 26 March 1884 when Bertie, as he was known, came to Liverpool for what would be a memorable Grand National. He was travelling with several cronies including Lord Hastings. Doubtless there was lots of animated talk at Croxteth Hall, over drinks and cigars, about which horse would win the great steeplechase. Victoria did not approve of Bertie’s lifestyle - he was involved in several society scandals – and she blamed him for his father Prince Albert’s premature death. The 1884 Grand National was to prove another slap in the eye for Bertie from his strict mother. continued on page 4

Liverpool’s Yellow House founder meets his hero For more than 25 years George McKane has celebrated the life of Vincent van Gogh by dressing up as the painter on the artist’s birthday. This year he pays homage to the troubled genius by visiting the Lady Lever Art Gallery to see van Gogh’s stunning selfportrait which is on loan from the Musée d’Orsay in Paris. George founded Liverpool’s Yellow House charity in 1986 naming it after van Gogh’s house in Arles which the artist shared with Paul Gauguin, whose self-portrait is also on display at the Lady Lever Art Gallery, on loan from the Musée d’Orsay. The two brilliant works by the artists whose tempestuous friendship created a catalyst in art are displayed until 11 June 2012. George says: “Vincent worked as an artist in the community with doors and windows always open so
To advertise see page 2 people could see art as an everyday event. “I found this very inspiring and our Yellow House is open every day for young people. I have been fascinated by van Gogh since reading his biography Lust for Life at Kirkdale Library in Liverpool when I was 15.” Yellow House has developed a local, national and international reputation for the innovative and powerful nature of its work with excluded young people. George adds: “Van Gogh was an outsider and Yellow House is a place for outsiders. It is not only a place of great theatre and art but a place of healing. This is how Vincent influenced me.” Sandra Penketh, head of the Lady Lever Art Gallery, says: “George’s experience illustrates how Van Gogh has inspired and enriched the lives of generations of people not only through his amazing paintings but his unique personality.” Every year on van Gogh’s birthday (30 March) George and the young people from Yellow House in Eastern Drive, Cressington, celebrate with performances and usually a birthday party. The celebrations include live performances in cafés, art galleries, train stations and boats. George generally dresses up as van Gogh and answers only to the name Vincent. People from around the world send George birthday cards addressed to Vincent. Van Gogh’s selfportrait at the Lady Lever dates from 1887, the year before the two charismatic painters worked together at the Yellow House in the south of France. Van Gogh rented the house in an
attempt to set up a community of artists but only Gauguin joined him, with disastrous results. Early in 1888 both men left Paris to find new inspiration Gauguin went to Brittany while van Gogh headed south to Arles. Gauguin wanted somewhere with a simpler way of life while van Gogh wanted a sunny climate so he could experiment with colour. Van Gogh invited Gauguin and other artists to join him at Arles but all refused. Eventually Gauguin changed his mind and arrived in October 1888. For nearly two months they lived and worked together while debating and theorising about art and experimenting with painting techniques. They argued a great deal and an intense, brooding atmosphere developed in the house. Gauguin had had enough and talked of returning to Paris unstable van Gogh became distraught. He threatened his friend with a razor and Gauguin fled - the two men never met again although they wrote to each other. Depressed, lonely and angry van Gogh mutilated his own left ear. He later became a voluntary patient in an asylum before killing himself in July 1890. The paintings have been lent to the Lady Lever Art Gallery in exchange for its loan of The Blessed Damozel by Rossetti to the exhibition Debussy, Music and the Arts at the Musée de l’Orangerie, Paris, until 11 June 2012.

Mosquitoes prefer children to adults, and blondes to brunettes. No two spider webs are the same. Only female mosquitoes bite. Females need the protein from blood to produce their eggs. Only full -grown male crickets can chirp. The animal responsible for the most human deaths worldwide is the mosquito. The disease-carrying mosquito, delivering encephalitis, the West Nile virus, malaria, and Dengue fever, is by far the deadliest beast in the animal world. The World Health Organization says mosquitoes cause more than 2 million deaths a year worldwide.

It was a special race for the Prince of Wales because the first horse he had ever owned, The Scot, was running. The 1884 race was the best-attended Grand National ever. The crowd roared themselves hoarse as the 10 – 1 favourite Voluptuary ridden by Ted Wilson romped home ahead of Frigate and Roquefort. Bertie was more restrained as he peered through his binoculars – Voluptuary was his mother’s horse. Remarkably, Voluptuary had won after never jumping a fence in public before. Voluptuary later had an extraordinary theatrical career, appearing on the
stage of London’s Drury Lane Theatre in a sporting drama called The Prodigal Daughter. Ridden by Irish actor Leonard Boyne, Voluptuary and six other horses jumped over hurdles including a water jump in an astonishing recreation of Aintree Racecourse, encouraged by excited cheers from audiences. How did Bertie’s horse The Scot fare in that unforgettable 1884 Grand National? Sadly, he failed to finish.

Dog of the Month - DINKY Dinky is a handsome two year old Staffordshire Bull Terrier cross who came to Dogs Trust Merseyside as an unclaimed stray. He is a lovely boy who greets the staff with a big waggy tail each morning. Dinky loves any fuss and attention and especially loves going for his walks. Dinky would fit into most family
homes quite easily and can live with children over 10 years of age. He will need a nice active family where he won’t be left for very long by himself as he is easily bored. He will need some basic training and regular exercise. If you think that you could offer Dinky his dream home, please call Dogs Trust Merseyside on 0151 480 0660.

A cockroach can live for up to a week without a head. A typical bed usually houses over 6 billion dust mites. Amazon ants (red ants found in the western U.S.) steal the larvae of other ants to keep as slaves. The slave ants build homes for and feed the Amazon ants, who cannot do anything but fight. They depend completely on their slaves for survival. Ants are social insects and live in colonies which may have as many as 500,000 individuals. Ants don’t sleep. Australian termites have been known to build mounds twenty feet high and at least 100 feet wide. Dragonflies are one of the fastest insects, flying 50 to 60 mph. Each year, insects eat 1/3 of the Earth’s food crop. In its entire lifetime, the average worker bee produces 1/12th teaspoon of honey. The honeybee kills more people worldwide than all the poisonous snakes combined. The largest cockroach on record is one measured at 3.81 inches in length. The venom of a female black widow spider is more potent than that of a rattlesnake. The world’s smallest winged insect, the Tanzanian parasitic wasp, is smaller than the eye of a housefly. There are more insects in one square mile of rural land than there are human beings on the entire earth. There are more than 900,000 known species of insects in the world. When ants find food, they lay down a chemical trail, called a pheromone, so that other ants can find their way from the nest to the food source.

20 to 29 Your heart just isn’t in it. The fight against infectious diseases such as MRSA and E. coli starts at home. You need to focus on targeting germ hotspots such as kitchen cleaning cloths to break the chain of cross-contamination, so you can reduce the risk of transmitting infections. Do a little cleaning every day, to keep on top of the chores and cut your risk of infection.
10 to 20 You’ve got the right idea. Your home may look clean and tidy but are you doing enough to keep the germs at bay? Bacteria, viruses and fungi carry disease and only targeted hygiene will protect you from infection. Targeted hygiene means getting rid of as many germs as possible, where and when there’s a risk of them spreading and causing infection.
Less than 10 Well done, you’re a hygiene highness. You’ve got high standards of cleanliness. Not only does your home look and feel clean and tidy, it is also hygienically clean. By doing a little cleaning everyday and focusing on the areas most at risk of harboring germs, you’re reducing your risk of picking up a nasty infection. Keep up the good work.
30 or more Your home could be a health hazard. It’s quite likely an army of harmful germs have invaded and colonised your home. You and your family may be at risk of picking up a nasty infection from bacteria, viruses or fungi that have taken up residence. You need to act quickly if you want to stay healthy. Focus your attention on the germ hotspots: cleaning

LUCKY HORSESHOES Horseshoes have been considered a symbol of good luck since the 4th century. In the past most people in Britain had a horseshoe hanging in their homes, especially above a door, as this was thought to keep the Devil away. In Britain horseshoes must be hung with the prongs facing upwards ‘or the luck will run out’. In many other countries it is the exact opposite, the horseshoe hangs with the prongs down so that the luck will pour out on to you.
Opening time Tue-Fri 9am-7.30pm Late night Wed & Thur 9pm Sat 9am-4pm
Horseshoes are made of steel, iron, or aluminium and there are many different kinds to suit the need or work of the horse. The person who constructs the shoes is the farrier and s/he specialises in making and fitting the shoes, whereas a blacksmith, by trade, crafts anything made out of metal. It is traditional to give a bride a horseshoe on her wedding day, and how much better to give a ‘real’ one, rather than a plastic or cardboard imitation. Maureen Bevan has specialised for many years in the supply of decorative horseshoes and told The LINK: “I have been working with horseshoes for many years. I collect them from a farrier then clean and paint them. They are then personalised and decorated to your own specification. Horseshoes are always recognised as good luck symbols and make unusual and personal presents. My horseshoes have proven popular for new homes, special birthdays, anniversaries, exam congratulations, and of course for weddings. They are boxed and delivered (within a reasonable distance) for just £7.50. Normal postage is approximately £2 extra”.

ALDER FC BEAT PREMIER OPPOSITION by Peter Harrison The highlight of the last month was the first team’s progress in the Liverpool County Premier League Challenge Cup with a 6-2 victory against higher league opposition in the form of Warbreck.

Halle complete the scoring. League form has been inconsistent however, with a 1-0 victory over KCFC, with Anthony Wong again scoring, and a 3-1 defeat to West Xaviers. The second team bowed out of the Zingari Combination Challenge Cup at the quarter final stage with a 4-2 defeat after extra time to Old Xavs. Winning 2-1 with 5 minutes to go courtesy of goals from Danny McNally and Daniel Taylor they were
LOCAL FOOTBALL ROUND-UP by Jim Stanway As we move into March, and the winter becomes a distant memory, the destination of the season’s prizes becomes clearer. However, the name on the Liverpool County Premier League Premier Division title looks like going down to the
wire. The current champions Waterloo Dock are still well in contention but there are several clubs, most notably East Villa, Croxteth and Aigburth PH, who could snatch the title from the Dock, who have won the title in each of the five years of the league’s existence.

www.mosslandscapes.co.uk unable to hold onto their lead, and succumbed to a strong Old Xavs team in the extra period. Three welcome league points were gained with a 3-0 away win at Essemay, Alan Jobson with a brace and Neil Smith also on the score sheet. The Veterans also
bowed out of their challenge cup at the quarter final stage, losing 4-2 to Netherley Bridge Inn. Despite goals from Tony Wardle and Kevin Haddo, the team, which was depleted and for the first 20 minutes only had 10 men, were unable to grab the all-
important win. League form has continued on an upwards trend with a fine 1-1 draw to Aintree Villa, Kevin Haddo scoring from the penalty spot. It did feel, though, that three points had been thrown away as the opposition scored with one minute remaining.
The prestigious Liverpool County FA Challenge Cup will see first-time finalists, second division Kingsley United, facing perennial finalists Waterloo Dock. The Dock were winners on penalties against league rivals Croxteth in the semifinals while Kingsley were two goal winners against West Cheshire League outfit Marshalls. The Liverpool County Premier League representative team, who reached the final of the last FA Inter-League Cup in 2010, were eliminat-
ed at the third round stage in amazing circumstances in the Isle of Man. Playing the island’s representative squad, the Liverpool team were three goals ahead at half-time, only to be trounced in the second-half, conceding five goals in a snowstorm, including two in injury-time. Liverpool retained their proud record in the FA National Sunday Cup when Canada, leaders of the Liverpool Sunday League Premier Division, defeated Elm Farm (from Aylesbury in Buckinghamshire)
with two goals from Steve Tames, a promising young striker who also plays for Prescot Cables in the Evo-Stik Northern Premier League. They will now play Lakeside Athletic (from Plymouth in Devon) in the semi-final. Canada could be joined by fellow Liverpool Sunday League team Oyster Martyrs who were defeated by FC Tripimendi but may now be reinstated as the London team are being investigated for fielding an ineligible player in several of their ties.
STONEYCROFT PROGRESS IN CUP On a bumpy pitch and in changeable weather conditions home side Stoneycroft sporting a new red and white striped kit, saw off a challenge from North East Liverpool side BRNESC to progress through to the semi-finals of the Roy Wade Cup. Stoneycroft although not at their best were nevertheless too good for the visitors. The victory though was not achieved without a scare as the Maiden Lane based team spurned a plethora of opportunities to go
ahead and so had to settle to finish the first half goalless with concerns that they may be made to pay for missed chances. Sure enough those fears deepened when five minutes after the break and in a rare attack a cross from the right was sloppily dealt with by the Stoneycroft defenders and Danny Kearney seized on a poor clearance to shoot the visitors into the lead. The Stoneycroft players reacted by stepping up a gear and within six minutes were on level terms after the BRNESC defence
had failed to clear their lines, the scorer inevitably was the inform Eddie Baker who had been causing the defenders trouble all game. Then on the hour mark Eddie was on
the score sheet again after an excellent Mike Kinney thirty yard free kick had been pushed on the angle of the goal by the visitors’ competent keeper, and rebounded in to play
to allow Eddie to tap the ball into the net to take is team into the semi-final. Final Score: STONEYCROFT 2 BRNESC 1 Man of the match: Eddie Baker
