Editor’s Note
Front Cover credits: Many thanks to Monica from Tanya Casting agency, Darren from Edgleys Florest, Marian of
Welcome to the July/August 2011 edition of Yesmag. I cannot believe how quick this year is moving, summer is here, well in time anyway, not sure about the weather, it has been so strange. I hope you have all booked your holidays and raring to go, myself I will be renovating my house as usual, so far it has taken nearly 3 years, but the end is in sight and it has been made a lot more easier by some of the fantastic advertisers we have used from our magazine, just to name a couple, Richard Williams who have supplied all the materials required to complete the job and K Hughes Plasterers for the great Rendering job on the outside of the house. If you require a plasterer then please try K Hughes, you will not be disappointed. I am happy to show anyone who is interested, the work they did for me. We had some great competitions in our last edition of Yesmag, the winner of a Cream Tea for Two at Sally's Coffee Shop, Rhos on Sea was: Mrs Margaret Brayshay , Rhos on Sea, I would like to congratulate her and thank her for participating as it all helps to keep our local businesses going and our readers to get some enjoyment. In the last two editions of the magazine, one of our readers, Jennifer Creech, Penrhynside supplied a poem and asked if it could be included, we were more than happy to do so. If anyone has any ideas that they would like to see published in Yesmag then please contact us, we are happy to discuss it with you. I will finish off by saying have a lovely holiday or whatever you have planned in the next couple of months and I will speak to you again in our next edition. Best Wishes Dianne Harris (Editor) 4 Thursday 9th June.indd 4

Summer Hair Care You may have a vision in your mind’s eye of your hair blowing in the summer wind looking fresh and gently highlighted. However the reality is that strong sun, high temperatures, humidity and pool or sea water will damage your hair leaving it dry, brittle and anything but healthy. You can help yourself by generally taking a gentler approach to your hair styling in the summer months. Use a mild shampoo, wash less frequently to allow the natural oils to be absorbed and when you do wash your hair, finish with a cool or cold rinse to seal the cuticle. Try to limit hair treatments such as bleaching and cut back on your usage of heated hair styling tools such as curlers and hair straighteners. If your hair is long enough, put it into a
loose bun and tuck the ends out of sight as this is the most vulnerable part. Pulling your hair back in this way can also mean you don’t have a parting which will prevent sunburn on your scalp, although don’t forget to apply sunscreen all around the hairline. If you don’t have long hair, do have a parting and don’t want to wear a hat, it’s essential that you apply sun lotion to your scalp. Your hair might look a little greasy during the day, but that’s better than a peeling scalp making you look like you have bad dandruff. Wet your hair with plain water before going into a pool or the sea as this will reduce the amount of chlorine or salt absorbed into your hair. Once you’ve had a swim, rinse your hair with plain water again before sitting back in the sun, and use a mild shampoo at the end of the day to ensure those chemicals and salt aren’t continuing to do their worst.

Le Tour de France 2011
E
very July the Tour de France takes over the streets and towns of France, and the TV screens of the world. This legendary event has grown hugely in popularity since its inaugural run in 1903 and is now watched by an estimated two billion television viewers. The 98th Tour commences on 2nd July 2011 from Passage du Gois La Barre-de-Monts and 3,500 gruelling kilometres later, it finishes on the Champs Élysées in Paris on 24th July. In early 20th century France, anyone envisaging a near-2,500-km-long cycle race across the country would have been widely viewed as unhinged. But that didn’t stop Géo Lefèvre, a journalist with L’Auto magazine at the time, from proceeding with his inspired plan. His editor, Henri Desgrange, was bold enough to believe in the idea and to throw his backing behind the Tour de France. And so it was, that on 1 July 1903, sixty pioneers set out on their bicycles from Montgeron. After six mammoth stages (Nantes - Paris, 471 km), only 21 “routiers”, led by Maurice Garin, arrived at the end. Le Tour soon won over the sporting public and the roadside crowds swelled. The French people took to their hearts this unusual event which placed their towns, their countryside and, since 1910, even their mountains, in the spotlight. The Tour originally ran around the perimeter of France. Cycling was an endurance sport and the organisers realised the sales of L’Auto magazine they would achieve by creating supermen of their competitors. Night riding was dropped after the second Tour in 1904 after there had been persistent cheating because judges could not see riders. That reduced the daily and overall distance but the emphasis remained on endurance.A succession of doping scandals in the 1960s, culminating in the death of Tom Simpson in 1967, led the Union Cycliste Internationale to limit daily and overall distances and to impose rest days. It was then impossible to follow the frontiers, and the Tour increasingly zig-zagged across the country, sometimes with unconnected days' races linked by train, while still maintaining some sort of loop. The tour is split into stages, each stage being completed within a day. Stages can be flat, undulating or mountainous. Riders are judged by the time each has taken throughout the race, a ranking known as the general classification. There may be time deductions for finishing well in a daily stage or being first to pass an intermediate point. It is possible to win without winning a stage, as Greg LeMond did in 1990. Riders normally start together each day, with the first over the line winning, but some days are ridden against the clock by individuals or teams. The overall winner is usually a master of the mountains and of these time trials. Probably the most famous participant in the race is American Lance Armstrong. In 1996 Armstrong was diagnosed with testicular cancer, a tumour that metastasized to his brain and lungs. His cancer treatments included brain and testicular surgery and extensive chemotherapy, and his prognosis was originally poor. Incredibly he went on to win the Tour de France each year from 1999 to 2005 and is the only person to win seven times, having broken the previous record of five wins.
TOUR TRIVIA A rider consumes the equivalent of 26 Mars Bars per day in calories. There has not been a French winner since 1986. An estimated 15 million spectators will line the route. “Le Tour” was founded as a publicity stunt for the sports newspaper l’Auto in 1903 The longest Tour was 5,745km in 1926 The oldest winner at 36 was Firmin Lambot of Belgium. ►The youngest was 20 year old Frenchman Henri Cornet. 24

SUDUKO
Did you know? When the only queen ant dies, so does the entire colony, because no new workers are born.
The Picnic It’s a lovely summer’s day; we’ve laid our picnic on the ground, There’s Mother, Auntie Vera, John and Jazz, our mongrel hound, We’ve lemonade and salad, with some crusty home cooked bread, Strawberries too, and clotted cream, a really lovely spread, Then “Bzzzz” - a wasp lands on my head; I jump up in the air, My lemonade goes flying; lunch is scattered everywhere, Mother’s started swearing and her words are quite obscene, My husband calmly helps himself, to strawberries and cream, The wasp decides to settle, next, on Auntie Vera’s arm, She yells out loud, my husband says “It won’t do any harm,” He adds a tad more cream and grumbles “Such a cabaret,” It won’t hurt you, just ignore it; it will likely fly away,” Auntie Vera’s apoplectic now; she starts to shout and cuss, My husband’s getting stroppy “Will you not make such a fuss,” Then he yells so loudly that his florid face contorts, As the wasp that ‘just won’t hurt you’ finds its way into his shorts... ©Jan Jack’s Perfect Verse 2011 www.perfectverse.co.uk

It’s that time of year again; the kids are off school and if you’re lucky enough to have a holiday coming up, there’s no better way to while away the hours in the sunshine than with a good book. Here we’ve put together a collection of new and recent titles to keep everyone entertained over the summer season, with something for all the family. Hothouse Flower by Lucinda Riley Having suffered a huge personal tragedy, concert pianist Julia Forrester returns to the stately home where she grew up. Now undergoing renovations under a new owner, a hidden diary has been discovered which transports Julia and the reader to France and Thailand as she pieces together a love story from the distant past. Both funny and heart-breaking, there’s a real depth of emotion to this debut novel which won’t be quickly forgotten.
Artichoke Hearts by Sita Brahmachari This is the touching tale of twelve year-old Mira, who is on the verge of adulthood and trying to cope with the loss of a beloved Grandmother whilst also experiencing a blossoming friendship which opens a new chapter in her life. Exploring emotion on every level, from love,

loss and acceptance to family, friendship and growing-up, this is a lovely book which every girl must read.
The Man who Broke into Auschwitz by Denis Avey Perfect for Dads with a taste for a gripping true story, this is the incredible account of a British soldier who in 1944 marched willingly into Auschwitz to see for himself if the awful rumours were really true. Swapping places with a Jewish inmate, Denis Avey witnessed the horrors of the camp as well as the final Death March. Here he recounts his heartbreaking experience with both courage and wisdom.
War Horse by Michael Morpurgo The worldwide success of this story confirms that it is one that’s not to be missed. Here we have an unusual account

of the WWI trenches, as seen through the eyes of a horse, Joey. Both horrific and powerfully involving, the author has captured hidden tales of friendship and humanity whilst revealing the futility of war in a way which both children and adults will understand. This special edition from Egmont will make a great gift, featuring beautiful illustrations from François Place.
The Pile of Stuff at the Bottom of the Stairs by Christina Hopkinson Mary Gilmour is a frustrated mum with too much to do and too little time. Life is passing her by, she’s missing out on quality time with her two young sons and as far as she can see, there’s one thing making it all twice as
difficult - and she’s married to him. Compiling a spreadsheet of ‘infringements’, from displaced used teabags to wet towels left on the bed, as well as a few positives to redress the balance, husband Joel unknowingly has six months to correct his score. Or else. Brilliant, funny and sharp – all mums/partners to untidy spouses will love this.
The Help by Kathryn Stockett An utterly absorbing, deeply moving tale which delves into 1960s America and the story of the black maids who raised white children whilst dealing with ongoing discrimination from a prejudiced society. The author creates some truly wonderful characters in her presentation of ‘the other side to Gone with the Wind’. Inspirational, beautifully written and sincere - you won’t be able to put it down.

Design Tips The Perfect Guestroom If you’re expecting visitors, help them feel welcome by preparing the guestroom in the manner of a five star hotel. Make the room look inviting, lived in and encourage them to feel at home. Make the room comfortable and relaxing to impart a feeling of friendliness and wellbeing as well as adding some luxury. Give the room a good airing before your guests arrive by throwing open the windows and letting fresh air circulate. Add some scented flowers as a cheerful welcome. Use beautiful bed covers and make sure there are plenty of pillows. Don’t forget to leave fresh bath towels, hand towels, face flannel and some pretty soap. Put out some extra items to make your guests feel even more special. Include shampoo, hair conditioner, bubble bath, toothpaste, cotton wool and anything else you may think could be useful. Add a bottle of water and glasses for the ‘hotel touch’. Make space in the wardrobe and drawers and leave them open so your guests don’t think they need to live out of their suitcase. Ensure there are plenty of hangers too. Leave out some books or magazines they may enjoy and show that you’ve really thought about them and their stay with you.

Rising in Value Car buyers are used to driving their new purchase off the forecourt and it instantly plummeting in value. It’s a fact of motoring life. Or is it? What if we told you there are some cars out there that are actually rising in value? And we’re not just talking about automotive exotica either. We spoke to experts from trade price bible CAP as well as leading auction house BCA to uncover the cars that are turning residual values on their heads. ‘There are some classic and sports cars that will keep going up in value,’ one expert told us. ‘Others will simply hold firm. But it’s all dependent on how much you use them and their condition.’ So here are our depreciation-busting top picks.
Jeep Wrangler This one surprised us too. CAP has found that the Hard Top 4.0 Sahara two-door model with an automatic gearbox has risen £475 in the last 12 months to a trade price of £5,450. CAP says even at this price it’s considered to be a cheap, heavyduty vehicle – but only for those that can afford to run it.
Ford GT London-based dealer Clive Sutton specialises in selling the most exclusive supercars. He often sees cars rise in value, but if he was spending his money it would be the Ford GT he’d shell out on. ‘The Ferrari Enzo was the one to go for a while ago, but prices have cooled,’ he told us. ‘Now the Ford GT is the car to invest in.’
Audi R8 It’s the V8-engined sports car from Audi that’s popular with buyers, reports CAP. Our experts said it had a slow start in the used market, but in the last 12 months a 2007 model with 20,000 miles has risen £1,900 in the trade to £53,100. ‘It’s increasing in popularity,’ said CAP’s man in the know
Astin Martin DB7 Mini BCA says despite the volumes currently being sold, the Mini is a future classic in waiting. The auction house told us that One models are selling well for around £3,500 to £4,000 even with as many as 100,000 miles on the clock. But prices for well looked after Countryman, Convertible and Clubman models are the firmest.

This is a good sign that the recession is easing. Prices for the Volante Convertible version of the stunning Aston Martin DB7 have risen £1,300 in the trade during the last year, according to CAP. An 04-reg, 50,000 miler currently costs £31,400. ‘Today’s buyers appear less concerned about running costs than they were 12 months ago,’ said CAP.

HEALTH
Treating Sunburn Although the obvious way to prevent sunburn is to avoid going out in the heat of the day at all, it is both necessary to have a little sun for our health and a pleasure to feel those rays on your skin. Although most people will use a sun cream or lotion as a preventative measure, studies have shown that many people do not use enough sunscreen to provide adequate protection. If you do find that you have caught more sun than you intended, it’s important to treat your skin to minimise the damage. As with any burn the skin will be overheated, so the first thing to do is to find a way of cooling the area. Apply a flannel soaked in cold water or take a lukewarm shower or bath. Make sure you drink plenty of fluids as dehydration will only make matters worse and avoid alcohol. For mild sunburn using a moisturising

lotion which contains Aloe Vera or a specially formulated after-sun lotion will both cool and rehydrate the area, and relieve the feeling of tightness. For more intense sunburn ask your chemist about a hydrocortisone cream and take over the counter painkillers such as Paracetamol or Ibuprofen to reduce your temperature. If your sunburn is severe, or it’s on a young child, you should ask for advice from your doctor or – in the worst cases – visit Accident and Emergency. If your sunburn is accompanied by other symptoms such a fever, dizziness or vomiting you could have sunstroke. It is essential in this case that your temperature is lowered and as a minimum you should seek advice from NHS Direct on 0845 46 47.

GARDENING
here is something lovely about this time of year: even on the less appealing days it rarely gets too chilly, the soil is warm and feels all the more full of potential. But there is no doubt that your vegetable growing
may seem to be close to peaking and perhaps in some areas on the decline. Rather than forgetting the fun of growing your own until next year, why not add to what you already have and start some crops from fresh? If you’ve missed the boat totally and never actually planted anything this year, there’s still time to grow some tasty home grown vegetable and herbs....it’s not too late to start, but you’ll have to get your skates on.Knowing what responds best to late sowing is the key, and knowing what might be worth the risk has the potential to be the icing on the cake. That lovely warm soil is a real advantage to those somewhat tenuous sowings made right at the start of the season, but you may also have to spend more time watering your vegetables, especially when the plants are small. Sow yourself some ruby chard. These fantastically brightly coloured plants mean you can create something seriously good-looking as well as tasty. ‘Bright Lights’ is the wackiest with bright yellow, orange, red, pink and purple stems. It can be sown successfully into August and can be used as ‘baby leaves’ for salads or as an alternative to spinach. Several of the oriental vegetables respond especially well to later sowing. Mizuna is one of my favourites. With its pretty divided leaves and ability to grow very fast, it can be sown right through from now and into September. Good in stir fries or as a salad ingredient, Mizuna does best in a sunny site. A covering of fleece helps to keep the flea-beetle away and so prevent the leaves becoming riddled with tiny holes. Spring onions make really tasty additions to salads, ploughman’s lunches and stir-fries. They grow rapidly and although it is getting late, a prompt sowing now should still give you a crop of tiny spring onions in October. Sow enough to leave some in the soil where you can then harvest full-sized versions in March. Carrots can be sown for many weeks of the year and some varieties of ‘maincrop’ carrot including ‘Ideal’ can still be sown until early August. Sow within the week and you’ll be cropping from autumn to Christmas time. Choose a light soil, free from stones, or grow in a deep container. If in doubt about sowing times, just check the packet. I love eating them, but hate buying those ridiculously expensive baby spinach leaves, but grow your own and you can have as many as you like for little outlay. They are perfect in salads and sandwiches....and much, much tastier and more tender (and a lot cheaper) than those you buy in cellophane bags. Make successional sowings from now and in to September and in five to six weeks you can harvest the baby leaves. If you like full-sized spinach leaves, then just leave the crop in the ground and allow it to grow a little more. Chinese cabbage is another late-season stalwart. It is one of the fastest growers I know and perfect for anyone who wants a delicate steamed vegetable or a wonderfully tasty and crunchy addition to a Chinese style meal. Also known as Chinese leaves, if you sow promptly you should be harvesting in late October. If you enjoy miniature beetroot or baby beet as they’re often known, then buy a packet of beetroot seed and sow some of them promptly for a delcious, crop of small-sized beetroot from the autumn until Chrismas. French beans are so much better when grown at home. It is hard to make them tough or tasteless. A speedy sowing now should produce plenty of beans that you can harvest in mid-autumn. Choose a variety such as ‘Tendergreen’ and it should perform well. Kohl rabi is, admittedly, a peculiar looking vegetable as it has really tasty and crisp swollen stems, but it is perfect for adding to salads and great in stir fries too. It performs well in most areas if sown up until about the middle of this month, and just nine to ten weeks after sowing you should be able to harvest your first crop. There are numerous different colours and shapes of salad leaf available and they can be sown now, either singly or in combination. Simply use scissors to snip off what you need and as long as you don’t cut too low, they’ll act as a cut-and-come-again crop. Look out for mixed seed packs including all sorts of tasty varieties such as rocket, baby beet, lettuce and basil. As conditions become cooler, cover the row with fleece. Rocket with its spicy dark green leaves makes a great ingredient for salads and because the plants grow so fast, a sowing made now will soon be producing a brilliant crop. Make successional sowings every couple of weeks. There...almost too much to eat!

REPLENISH BODY & MIND
Reiki helps where there is stress and tension and helps to balance the emotions. It is a gentle therapy and can be safely used by all ages. It can be used alongside conventional medicine or natural remedies andcompliments other treatments. The treatment starts with a consultation, you will be asked to lie or sit downand remain fully clothed during the therapy. Your comfort during the treatment is very important and soft gentle music will be played. The therapist's hands are placed on or held over the body during the treatment. After the treatment, you will be left to relax in peace. After care advice will be given.
Here at Enochs we are providing you with new alternatives so you can still enjoy the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s favourite fi sh and chips with a conscience. In January 2011 we launched the Enochs Sustainability Project (ESP) as we believe we have a duty to improve and sustain our environment. As part of our commitment we are taking a good look at the fi sh we serve, where it has come from and how it was caught. We have also been fi rmly supporting Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstallâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Fish Fight campaign, to change the Common Fisheries Policy (CFP) when it comes up for review in 2012. Fish Fight persuaded us to offer mackerel as an alternative to your usual fish & chips with great success. Since then we have been exploring other avenues, so now we can offer you other tasty, approved, sustainable alternatives and seasonal varieties. 146 Conwy Road, Llandudno Junction, 01492 581 145
