Lord Mayor of Chester Cllr Razia Daniels and Members of Chester Riverside Rotary planting purple crocus bulbs in Edgar’s Field Park in Handbridge on World Polio Day.
Lord Mayor digs deep to highlight polio campaign The Lord Mayor of Chester Cllr Razia Daniels bent her back to help the local Chester Riverside Rotary Club raise awareness of the campaign to eradicate polio. Armed with a spade the Handbridge councillor and Rotarians planted purple crocus bulbs in Edgar Park to highlight the campaign. Polio, a debilitating illness, has been all but eradicated in the Western world through vaccinations, and it’s down to just a few cases a year in Pakistan and Afghanistan. The purple crocus being planted represents the purple pin given to children throughout the world to signify that they have been immunised. Cllr Daniels said “I would like to thank everyone for supporting The World Polio Day and if you would like to get involved and find out more about the Chester Riverside Rotary Club please visit their website - rotarych4.org.uk”

Christmas events in this area THERE are plenty of chances to get into the Christmas spirit in Westminster Park, Curzon Park and Handbridge this December. Cllr Razia Daniels and Cllr Neil Sullivan are using their members’ budget to support three Christmas events. l The first is on Wednesday 6th December when the Christmas lights will be switched on at 5pm at Westminster Park Shops. Belgrave Primary School Choir will start the festive season by singing carols. l On 17th December there will be carols on the green in Curzon Park from 6pm. There will be community singing, mulled wine, mince pies and lots of festive fun. l Handbridge will celebrate the build up to Christmas with a procession of Christmas Lanterns and carol singing on Wednesday 20th December from 5pm. Children from Overleigh St Mary’s CE School, together with members of local uniformed groups, will be making lanterns to light the carol singing. The children, parents and staff will leave school at 5pm for a procession through Handbridge finishing at the Old Dee Bridge. At various stages they will stop to sing carols which members of the wider community are welcomed to join in with. Anyone wishing to share the event is asked to gather at St Mary’s Church in Handbridge where the children will sing Christmas songs before moving towards the Old Dee Bridge.

Christmas Services Look up.... at St Mary’s and useChurch, all the space in your home Handbridge We would all like more space in our homes and with houses in the UK getting smaller, space is at a premium. But what if there was an affordable way to create more space in our homes? A simple solution for all those people fed up of living among clutter and one that doesn’t require planning permission or any major structural building work. For most, the loft is a dark and dingy place visited seasonally; once to dig out the Christmas decorations and then again to bring down the holiday suitcases. A precarious scramble across dusty beams, torch in hand; grabbing what’s needed then clambering back past boxes filled with long-forgotten belongings. But that dark and dingy place is worth thousands. In fact, it takes up a third of

THE GENIE TEN MINUTE The Genie TakeTen is known as the personal trainer for the face. As we age, our muscles shrink causing surrounding fat and tissue to take on a drooping appearance. With exercise and the right diet we can generally keep our bodies in shape, but the facial muscles are more difficult to exercise - until now. The Genie Take Ten System is based on the unique Baxendale Wave developed by Dr. Ronald Baxendale, a world leading neurophysiologist. He developed a safe waveform up to one thousand times stronger than anything else available on the market. The Baxendale Wave exercises the facial muscles in exactly the same way as we work our bodies in the gym. With exercise, sagging facial muscles return to their former position,

increase in size, lift the features, reduce lines and wrinkles, resulting in a younger, healthier appearance. By rebuilding the ageing muscle mass to its previous state the face is fuller and benefits from a visible lift which can be retained with regular treatments. The Genie Take Ten lifts the brows, enhances the cheekbones, lifts the corners of the mouth, fills out the upper lip, sharpens the jawline and smooths the skin of the neck. Skin texture and tone improves. Eyes appear more open as the brows are lifted. Because we are “power building�, a 10 minute treatment is sufficient to achieve all that is possible in one session. For 24 hours after a treatment the muscles are still working and regenerating themselves.

The school teamed up with the university, which now owns the old Western Command and County Hall buildings, to offer students a taste of what university study is like and to consider potential career pathways in business, marketing and public rela-tions. The session featured a look at marketing strategies that can be used to sell a product or service and students worked in teams to develop their own marketing strategies. 22 To advertise call 350398

GARDENING BY JANET HEATH
CHRISTMAS CHEER Winter is when you notice evergreen shrubs with a good shape or rich foliage, that at other times of the year blend into the background. These shrubs can form the centrepiece of a winter corner of any garden. There is no point in having winter interest hidden away, put the plants where they can be seen from the house or by a path used daily. For Christmas cheer a few shrubs will provide red, yellow and green colour in your garden. A slow growing columnar golden Yew – Taxus baccata Standishii will form a slim column of green and golden yellow foliage. Next to it plant a rounded Skimmia shrub with white or red flowers and then maybe a couple of Pittosporum Tom Thumb shrubs. They have a dumpy rounded shape with new growth being lime green that then fades to chocolate brown. At the back plant a red stemmed Cornus alba Sibirica and cut the stems back to 30cms each year in February to encourage a forest of new red stems for the next season. Or look for some of the variegated Hollies such as Ilex aquifolium Argentea Marginatai which can be kept trimmed to shape. If you have a male and female, you should have red berries too. Smaller plants that will give you colour at year end before the bulbs pop up include any of the Euphorbias. These have evergreen foliage ranging from silvery grey, to plum red and green edged with red. Some such as Euphorbia characias subsp. Wulfenii can grow to 1m in height and width. Then there are smaller Euphorbias such as Silver Swan which will form a neat plant with white edged green foliage and bottlebrush flowers in spring. The ever reliable Heucheras do well in winter where they have some shelter and well drained soil. They will keep their leaves well into winter if it is mild. I have clients who have overwintered the orangey, fudge coloured leaved varieties and in my own garden the purple leaved varieties do well. Make sure that any tender plants are brought into a greenhouse or well lit garage to overwinter. Or cover plants with a fleece if they are borderline tender. Bubble wrap around any pots with plants that you don’t want to freeze. If the roots freeze then the plants will die.

Sixth formers’ double bonus Citizenship Day saw a group of Queen’s Park High School Sixth Former students exercising their green fingers to help regenerate the school’s sculpture garden and enhance the school environment. Students worked alongside teaching staff to cut away thick undergrowth with the aim of reinstating a longlost pond. To coincide with the project and help raise awareness for World Polio Day on 24th October, Chester Riverside Rotary visited the project and donated over 200 crocus bulbs for the students to plant. Mrs Scanlon, Assistant Headteacher and Director of Sixth Form, said: “As well as highlighting Chester Riverside Rotary’s brilliant work, our one-day project created a benefit for the whole school community and paves the way to transform the former sculpture garden into a ‘peace’ garden that offers all students a quiet space to reflect, read, contemplate and enjoy whilst also attracting a host of wildlife.” The pond is now almost complete with a new liner, rockery, grasses and bulbs planted around the edge.

Annual inspection of the River Dee The annual inspection of the River Dee has been carried out by the Lord Mayor of Chester, Cllr Razia Daniels, who is also Admiral of the Dee. The title dates back to 1354, when admiralty powers were granted to the mayor by the Black Prince, and an annual inspection is undertaken so that any issues can be addressed. When on the river, the Admiral of the Dee has a miniature silver oar which was presented in the 17th century and is called the Water Bailiff’s Oar. There are only 21 Lord Mayors in England and the Chester title of Admiral of the Dee is unique. The Lord Mayor said: “It was a great honour to evoke the title of Admiral of the Dee, which dates back to the middle of the 1300s. Chester at that time was second only to the River Thames as a busy port. “The title of Admiral of the Dee was bestowed on the mayor because the Black Prince was Earl of Chester, and this was one way for the king to increase income paid as duty and taxes from river users. “I am proud to bear the ancient title of Admiral of the Dee on behalf of the City of Chester.” l The Lord Mayor was accompanied by her consort Stephen Daniels. Also in attendance was Sophie Grinnell, representing the sea cadets, Bob Rudd, Chairman of Cheshire West and Chester Council, Rear Admiral Jeremy Larken, Commodore Ken Doughty, Chester Motor Boat Club, Phil Proctor, Chester Sailing and Canoeing Club, Handbridge Community Association, Colonel James Fuller and Commander Damian Exworthy from HMS Albion, Chester Cathedral, Ahoy Boats, Friends of the Meadows and members of the environmental team from Cheshire West and Chester Council who carried out the formal inspection of the river.
New ventures in Westminster Park Cllr Razia Daniels and Cllr Neil Sullivan have welcomed two new ventures in Westminster Park: Chatwins has opened at the shopping parade and also there are new owners of the Golden Dragon Fish and Chip shop.

Are you making your child fat? DID you know that 1 in 3 children aged between 6-9 years are obese? Did you know that food/ eating habits in young children are what can contribute to them being overweight as an adult. There are several factors in today’s society that contribute to a childhood obesity, simply things such as; Larger portioned foods, snacks between meals, sugary drinks, lack of activity, skipping breakfast, bad habits observed by parents the list goes on. HOW IMPORTANT IS IT TO BREAK THIS CYCLE? You may think what’s a few treats they are children that’s what kids do, eat sweets, ice cream etc. However you could be contributing to their risks of developing type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular problems, reduced mobility, low self-esteem and depression plus many more negative consequences. The fact is when a child is young they only know what they are taught and see on a daily basis, if they think having full fat coke for breakfast and take-aways of an evening is the norm, they are more likely to continue this when they get older. If you’re guilty of this it’s not too late to change habits and you being a good role model is the first place to start. If your child is a fussy eater, try a variety of foods and offer lots of praise and encouragement for trying something they wouldn’t usually have. Sit down with them at meal times and show them that you eat the new foods too and tell them how good for you they are. Children need to try foods on more than one occasion, they might not like it the first time but keep trying, try adding different sauces, or mix it in with something they do like. Be sure to make a big fuss if they do finish or even try a new food.
like simple tasks but they can make a huge difference. A child should be physically active 60 mins of the day! It’s important also not to use food as a reward, “oh well done honey you did your homework, here’s a cream cake!” use sticker charts, praise and days out to reinforce good behaviour. You often hear lots of mums saying “Give him this it will keep her quiet!” yes you might get two minutes peace while they finish off a bag of sweets. But you will have more grief when your child needs teeth removing due to tooth decay! Keep snacks to savoury treats, cheese, crackers, veggie sticks for example. Keep in mind of the effects in later life, cut of sugary snacks, encourage good eating habits and show them good life skills by being a good role model. It’s never too late to make changes!
It’s important they stay active, how many Written for Talkabout Publishing children do you see as soon as they get home by Hayley Ryder from school are straight on the computer/ Personal Trainer and Class instructor social media.

IS BACK PAIN HOLDING ACCORDING to a recent report carried out by The British Pain Society there are ten million chronic pain sufferers in Britain alone which affect not only their social life but interferes with their working life. Back pain costs the UK billions of pounds in health bills, loss of earnings and lost productivity. However many people in the UK who are unable to work due to back pain are not covered by this or by allowances. Instead these sufferers are reliant on their partner or early retirement. Following a recent survey British businesses lose an estimated 4.9 million days from employee absence due to work related back pain. The North East suffers than most, with 2 people every hundred having to cope with the condition. As a result, each affected employee takes 19 days of work which in turn puts the business at stake. GPs tend to refer patients to chiropractors, physiotherapists, acupuncturists and in some cases suggest surgery. In recent studies carried out by the NHS there has been a significant increase in teenagers suffering with back pain. This age group costs the NHS nearly £4billion per year alone working out at an average of
£8,000 per teenager. Despite this the number of back pain sufferers is still prominent with treatment showing no guarantee of success. Bowen Therapy is an alternative therapy which has slowly but surely been sweeping the nation over the last 20 years.
RELIEF The Bowen Technique is a natural, drug-free noninvasive complementary therapy which was invented in Australia and introduced to the UK in the 1990’s. Bowen Therapy has a particularly strong record of success in the treatment of back pain. A national study, carried out by The Bowen Therapy Professional Association (BTPA), showed that 95 per cent of back pain sufferers experienced either complete relief or a marked improvement, after a series of no more than three Bowen treatments. It prides itself on being able to trigger the body’s own healing systems. Rather than ‘making’ the body change, Bowen ‘asks’ the body to recognise and make the changes it requires. With primarily fingers and thumbs, the Bowen practitioner makes small, rolling movements over muscles, tendons, ligaments and soft tissue at precise points on the body, using only the amount of pressure appropriate for that individual. No hard-tissue
manipulation or force is needed or used. Between each set of moves, the body is allowed to rest for a few minutes, to allow it to absorb the information it has received and initiate the healing process. Bowen is generally pleasant to receive, each session lasting 30 – 60 minutes, depending on the age of the client and the nature of their condition. Many clients become so relaxed they fall asleep during the treatment. Short-term (acute) injury may be resolved in one to three Bowen treatments, while long-standing (chronic) conditions may require longer. A gap of five to ten days is recommended between Bowen sessions; so that the body can process the subtle information it has been given. Once the healing process is underway, the treatment would have taken the relief off your back meaning you can carry out activities in and outside of the workplace which you had on hold. As well as back pain Bowen Therapy also may help with a host of other health issues such as: frozen shoulders, sports injuries, whiplash, migraine, hay fever, asthma, IBS, fertility matters to name but a few.
IT WORKED FOR BEAR! Bear Grylls explains “Bowen Therapy has helped keep my body together despite the continual bashing it takes. It’s a vital support in putting
NG YOU BACK? right a whole range of new aches and pains, making sure that old injuries don’t cause me problems, and helping me fight stress and fatigue.” As with many other alternative therapies the success of a treatment mainly depends on visiting a legitimate, well trained practitioner, who is a member of BTPA (The Bowen Therapy Professional Association). BTPA is the largest UK professional association for qualified Bowen Therapists.
Members of this association are qualified in Anatomy & Physiology and First Aid. They are also fully insured, abide by a strict code of conduct and ethics and are committed to a programme of continuing professional development. l For further information on Bowen Therapy, registered BTPA members in your area, how to become a BTPA member and/or testimonials visit www. bowentherapy.org.uk or call 0844 561 7173
