Willaston Scouts can canoe far and wide!

Cllr Myles Hogg, Scout Leader Dave Kendall, Scouts Matty and Daniel and Assistant Scout Leader Chris Powl.

1st Willaston Scouts have a new trailer so that all their canoes can be safely and securely transported across the North West. Funding for the project came from Cheshire West and Chester councillor Myles Hogg and fundraising by the Scouts. The Willaston councillor contributed £2,000 from his Council Member Budget. Cllr Hogg said: “The Scouting movement does so much good work in helping young people become responsible citizens.

“I am pleased to have been able to help the 1st Willaston Scouts group in this small way and I know that it will make a real difference to local young people.” Added Scout leader Dave Kendall: “The new trailer means that as a Troop, we can take more Scouts at a

time canoeing because we can now fit all our canoes on the trailer. “We can continue to get out on the water regularly – and now as one Troop together. We are extremely grateful to Myles for his continued support of the Scout Group in Willaston.”

LEGAL MATTERS Legal Column with Jackie Campion, Principal Solicitor at Campion Solicitors

Spring is in the air S

prinG is traditionally a time when the housing market improves and you may be thinking of putting your house on the market. There are steps you can take to make your property more marketable: Kerb appeal

Clear pathways; tidy the garden or parking area, repair and paint the fences, make sure the number or name is prominent and that the doorbell works. Maintenance and repairs Get all those niggling jobs done. They neednâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t cost a lot of money, just a little time. De-Clutter Be ruthless and get into the garage, loft, shed and under the stairs. Legal process You can also take steps to prepare for the legal process, so when a buyer has been found you can proceed quickly: 1. Where are the Title deeds? Deeds are always useful and

they may contain documents which may be needed. If they are held by a bank or Solicitor, request them now. 2. Gather together all inspection reports and guarantees for work and maintenance carried out at the property. This could include structural alterations, damp proof, roof repairs, central heating and replacement windows. Put them in a folder to give to your Solicitor. 3. If you have to pay ground rent and/or service charge, make sure they are paid and find the appropriate receipts. If receipts

cannot be found contact the Managing Agents. 4. Get your finances in order. If there is a mortgage to pay off, know the balance. If you are buying and require finance you will need to put in place your lending requirements in principle. At Campion Solicitors, our aim is to help you move home as quickly and efficiently as possible, whilst guiding you throughout the legal process. We will provide you with a fixed fee quote, friendly service and regular updates.

Georgie’s memory lives on with big sister’s trike ride GOOD luck to Jessica Weaver who is doing a sponsored trike ride next month in memory of her little sister who tragically died at five days old. The seven-year-old, from Neston, is doing it to raise awareness of the condition Tracheal Agenesis which meant that baby Georgie was born without a windpipe. Jessica will be riding her trike along the Wirral Way from Willaston to West Kirby on 31st May and hopes to raise some money for Alder Hey Children’s Hospital where Georgie was cared for during her brief life. Mum and dad Leigh and Emma said: “We are now concentrating all our energies on raising as much money as possible for Alder Hey, Ronald McDonald house Alder Hey and any other charity that has touched our lives. “We want to raise awareness of the condition that is so rare Georgie was only the 3rd baby in 18 years to be cared for at Alder Hey. “We want the world to know our daughter as she was truly a miracle, being able breathe when born against all the odds. Georgie will live on in all that we do in her name.”“ Georgie was born six weeks early at Arrowe Park Hospital. It was soon apparent she was struggling to breathe and quickly transferred by a specialist team to Alder Hey.

Leigh said: “We were told by the head consultant that Georgie did not appear to have a windpipe and that our baby would die. “This was not the news we were expecting. We were numb. Georgie looked so perfect, you could not believe there was something wrong with her. The further tests revealed that Georgie was indeed without a trachea. However what she did have was a tiny hole from her oesophagus to her lung. It was a miracle she had breathed at all. Consultants from Great Ormond Street were contacted but they could not offer any help. We spoke with a specialist in Stockholm and he offered to try a series of operations in Russia but there was no miracle cure. “We had Georgie Christened on the Wednesday witnessed by 30 plus of our friends and family. On the Thursday we were able to hold her for the first time. The Friday we spent the day making memories, doing hand and foot prints of Georgie, her big sister Jessica and her cousins. We knew the time was coming when we needed to let go. On Saturday 31st May Em held Georgie in her arms as the life support was withdrawn. She breathed for 10 minutes by herself. Our little fighter.” Visit www.justigiving.com/Emma-Weaver2 or go on twitter with #ThePowerOf Georgie

Cloudy2Clear Windows – Service With A Smile!

It’s been a crazy few months for Cloudy2Clear Windows. The company which specialises in repairing windows which are steamed up, broken or damaged by replacing the panes – not the frames has grown rapidly as homeowners take advantage of their services. Managing Director Alan Ball feels that it’s all about service. ‘Our product is simple. If your double glazing is misted up we can replace the glass at a fraction of the cost of a new window, in any type of frame, and with a new 5 year guarantee. But it’s not just about saving

people money, although that obviously helps. Many tradespeople have struggled since last year and I honestly feel that during the good times a minority perhaps didn’t focus on customer care as much as they should have done. We make sure we turn up when we say we will, do the job the customer requires and leave their house as clean as a whistle. I often get comments back from customers on how they really didn’t expect that sort of service which, in a way, is very sad for the service industry as a whole.’ Cloudy2Clear service Neston, Parkgate, Little Neston, Burton and Ness

& Alan is finding that his approach is a major factor in his success. ‘The truth is that it’s not just the personal satisfaction that I get from doing a good job but also it makes good business sense. I get a huge amount of business from friends and family

of people I’ve done work for, which just goes to show how much a little bit of effort is appreciated.’ So, if your windows are steamed up, broken or damaged give Alan a call for a free quotation on 0800 61 21 118 and he’ll be happy to help!

A You don’t have to spend a vast amount of money to purchase a Geberit toilet. There are also less expensive models in the range such as the Geberit AquaClean 4000. This compact loo seat is designed to replace your existing loo seat and is straightforward to install, as it fits on the existing seat.

Q Should I be concerned about how much water is used in spray-function toilets? A The Geberit AquaClean 4000 only uses 400ml of water at each use, and although this is more than a normal loo, there are positive environmental aspects to this choice, such as using less toilet paper. Water, chemicals and other raw materials are wasted in the production of toilet paper, and while it’s biodegradable, the process still leaves chemical traces in our water supply.

No problem for Woodfall maths masters Woodfall Primary School’s Year 6 Maths Team triumphed at the Neston and Ellesmere Port Inter-Primary Maths Quiz finals in March. This is the fourth year the event has been held and the second time that Woodfall has taken the trophy. This year’s team was Lucy, Fern, Ben and Adam (Y5). The team of four had to compete against the winners of all the local heats, in four separate rounds, consisting of problem solving, logic puzzles, visual puzzles and a mental maths buzzer round. After a tricky start, they shot into the lead in the third round and held their place to the end. Their teachers are incredibly proud of them.

The club for older swimmers at Neston Recreation Centre warmly welcomed the Mayor of Neston, Cllr Janet Griffiths on 9th March as she commissioned a set of pool access stairs in with Brio Leisure manager Stuart Brown and Over 50’s Club chairman Sue Shipman. Hon Secretary Robin Hughes said: “This is a club initiative to allow easier access for people with mobility-limiting conditions like arthritis. Swimmers with dodgy wrists, knees and hips don’t have to clamber up vertical ladders any more.” The stairs have been paid for partly from Club funds and with a grant from Neston Town Council. Brio Leisure Ltd will insure, maintain and manage them. The Mayor said: “I hope everyone enjoys their swimming. This is a good example of how partnerships between local government and voluntary organisations benefit everyone.” l The Neston Over 50s Swimming Club has its origins in a 1983 North West

Year 5 children enjoyed learning about fire safety thanks to the ‘Smokebusters’ from Cheshire Fire Service.

Neston Primary School had a number of events centre around World Book Day to encourage pupils to get reading. Every Friday the ‘Book Swap Shop’ is open – This is when pupils can bring a book to school and swap it with a friend. It has become very popular and it is an idea that is being adapted by other schools. Talent musician - Felix Ngindu Kasanganayi, visited school to tell the children about his music and there was a great deal of fun (and noise!) when the children had the opportunity to create their own music alongside Felix.

Working - and walking - to make Neston a dementia-friendly town

ver the winter, the Neston Angels project has been busy matching up local volunteers with older people living alone. Now the project is working with Dementia Friends Champions and other organisations to make Neston more dementia friendly. Free training for the public and local businesses, and a Memory Walk on Sunday 26th April from Neston to Parkgate are first on the list of awareness raising activities. The initiative is part of the West Cheshire Dementia Action Alliance, aimed at addressing the growing issue of dementia. The aims of the Dementia Alliance Action plan are: l To raise awareness and improve understanding of dementia within local communities l To consult with people with dementia and their carers about developing a more dementia friendly community l Establish community support including local businesses and retailers Did you know? l There are 850,000 people with dementia in the UK. l 60,000 deaths a year are directly attributable to dementia. Louise Irvine from Sainsbury’s Neston is a Dementia Friends Champion and has been working tirelessly to raise awareness within the community, as well as taking part in last year’s Memory Walk at Aintree. Louise says: “I give interactive information sessions to groups about the personal impact of dementia, and give them enough information to be able to help. My aim is to encourage others to make a positive difference to people living with dementia in their community.” Louise and another local Dementia Friends Champion, Rob Catlow, will be providing Dementia Awareness Training sessions over various dates, with sessions completely free, open to all and lasting about an hour.

Hayley’s health and fitness

Welcome to Talkabout’s Health and Fitness blog. Each month I’d like to share with you fitness knowledge, information about nutrition, how to get the most from your work outs and general tips for well-being.

BE A GOOD EGG THIS EASTER! Leading up to Easter is a tricky time of year, the good intentions of the New Year are wearing off and the threat of children being off surrounded by chocolate, is enough to test anyone’s will power! So what can you do to stay on track and avoid undoing your hard work? 1. Review your goals, you started January with the aim to drop some dress sizes or get bikini ready for summer! So what’s changed, you need to stay focused and remember what you set out to achieve, yes Easter is coming but does this mean you have to over indulge? No!

2. Allow yourself a little treat, but be realistic, there can be up to 1100 calories in a 200g Easter Egg, so this means even two of these a week equates to an extra 2200 calories this is an extra days calories in just two eggs! 3. Your Easter dinner...watch out for the calories! Many think the mounds of veg on a dinner and the fact its only a little bit of meat, you can eat as much as you want. Think again, you are looking at over 1000

calories for an average sized dinner with the trimmings, add this with the glass of wine maybe some dessert and your well on your way to your recommended daily allowance in just one meal! Keep servings small, lay off the roast potatoes , honied parsnips and Yorkshire puddings, steam the veg and stick to breast of chicken to keep calories down! Fruit, sorbets and yoghurts make for a healthier dessert.

4. Just because it’s a bank holiday doesn’t mean fitness classes, gym schedules or walking the dog has to be forgotten, yes you have time off but enjoy active family time, not eating, drinking and catching up on your favourite soaps. Burn off those little treats by bike riding, swimming, group fitness or family walks.

5. If you plan to burn off some extra lbs know how hard you have to work in order to get results. Do you know how hard you have to work to burn off 1000 calories? Just under two hours of continuous front crawl is needed to reach this target, leisurely bike ride 350 calories per hour, increase your speed and gradient to burn off more, low impact aerobics 400 per hour, up the intensity to high impact to reach 600. Continuous skipping for 1 hour reaching 700 calories ph. So next time you reach for that cream cake, chocolate bar or egg think how hard you will have to work to burn it off, it may help you rethink!

TIME TO TALK.... I

f, like me, you feel you are a member of the so-called ‘Sandwich Generation’, you may often find yourself feeling not only emotionally but financially responsible for both your adult children and your longer-living parents. This can be a great source of stress as we watch our loved ones struggle and try to come to terms with the challenges of later life. There can be a temptation to rush to the rescue. So how do we prevent ourselves from creating a bigger problem? Like most human relationships it helps to talk, but when we are concerned about the health and welfare of our parents, when is the right time and what are the questions? Over the next three months I shall highlight some useful tips and possible solutions which I have found very helpful within my own family situation.

PIck the rIGht tIme:

If you would like to discuss the many options available, please contact us on 01829 260280 to make an appointment. So you mIGht aSk:

• Avoid talking over the telephone, a face to face conversation always works better with sensitive subjects so take the time to sit down when no-one is in a hurry. • Ask questions rather than make statements so you can discuss their views, ideas and any concerns they may have. • Try to keep the conversation calm and reasoned. The subject of elderly care is a very emotional one so it is important to keep rash statements in check.

• Do you think some help around the house might be a good idea? • Do you still feel safe driving? • Is the garden becoming a chore rather than a joy? • Can you still manage the stairs safely? • Are you able to get into the bath/ shower easily? • Do you having any concerns about maintenance in the house? • Do you have trouble hearing the telephone or the door bell? • Are you eating properly and managing to keep warm?

Don’t expect instant solutions and be prepared to come back to the topic on another occasion which will enable all parties to consider the options. Difficult conversations and decisions can create a rollercoaster of emotions which can be very distressing to the whole family. Next moNth: How to be prepared and start planning
