Parking problem
WESTMINSTER Park Residents Association (WPRA) chairman Allan Stobie has rged
motorists on the estate not to park on the pavement.
He told the WPRA annal meeting: I have noticed that a lot of cars are being parked
partially on the pavement. This is not a recommended practice because, rstly, theconstruction of footpaths is to a much lower specication than roadways and eventually
the surface will break up or subside. Secondly, it often makes it difcult for mums with
pshchairs or disabled people to get past the obstrction withot diverting into the road,
which is obviosly very dangeros. Please think before parking.
Play date
PLAY Day 2010 is to be held in Westminster Park on Tesday 10th Agst. Organised
by CWAC Concil, there will be a climbing wall, water chte and many other pieces of
eqipment. Watch ot for posters in yor school.
Glan Aber Tennis Club
The Clb was fonded in 1908 and is now located in Westminster Park. There are for
all-weather corts, which have been refrbished in the last two years and one mini tennis
cort. There is a private clbhose with changing facilities.
There are adlt clb nights on Tesday from 6.30 pm and less experienced adlts meet
on Thrsday. Tesday mornings are also proving poplar. There are tornaments for
jniors and occasional adlt social events sch as Tennis and a Takeaway. The Clb
rns mens, ladies and mixed teams.
For frther information, please contact Se Britton on 01244 677936.
Westminster Park Gardening Club
THE rst two meetings have been well attended and two more events are planned this
year. The next is an evening gided tor of Ness Gardens on Thrsday 15th Jly, 6.30pm,
with Andy Lambie who lectres in Horticltre at Ness.
For info email the chairman Mike Pollard at mkpll@aol.com or ring 675222.
On 29th September there will be a meeting in the commnity centre at 7.45pm for an 8pm
start with a frit and vegetable swap planned.
Dropping off is disaster waiting to happen
THE subject of parents dropping off children outside Belgrave School wasdiscussed at the recent Westminster Park Residents Association meeting.
The WPRA has written to the headmistress about the problem of parents letting
children out onto the road instead of the pavement.
Chairman Alllan Stobie said: It is considered that with so many cars dropping off
that this is a disaster waiting to happen. It is in the interest of the childrens health
that they should walk, if at all possible, or if not please think before opening the car
door.

SUMMER is the time or bringing out
our eet which have been cocooned in
thick socks and tights, sheepskin boots
and winter shoes during a particularl
cold, long winter. As ou slip into those
sandals or fip fops, that eeling o
summer is here! Its reedom or oureet.
Beore slipping into that summer mode
did you happen to glance down at those
eet? Bearing in mind our eet are the
urthest extremity rom our eyes, when
did you honestly last closely inspect their
condition?
Having your eet in tip top condition isnot just so that they look attractive, but
healthy eet reect your general health
and your deportment.
Taking a shower is more popular than
bathing, but paying attention to washing
your eet with soap or shower gel in the
shower is so much more dicult than
washing your eet in the bath. However,
just by letting the water run over your eetand then not drying properly between
your toes is a breeding ground or ungal
inections such as athletes oot.
Wearing ill-ftting shoes and slopping
around in loose ftting winter boots can
cause a build up o hard skin, calluses
and even corns and in growing toenails.
Leaving these conditions untreated can
cause us to change the way we walk,which in time lead to back problems, poor
deportment and oot pain. For chronic
oot pain we do recommend that you do
visit your local podiatrist.
Having a regular pedicure helps keep
your eet in tip top condition. At The
Hough Green Clinic ater inspecting your
eet we remove hard skin with an electric
skin smoother that melts away the hardskin. We then exoliate the eet and apply
a mask that literally ingests dry skin. Ater
a warm, bubbling, vibrating, aromatic ootsoak we pay attention to cuticles, nails and
any remaining hard skin. A massage o the
toes, eet, ankles and lower legs ollows. To
fnish nail colour is applied i required. The
pedicure takes between one and one and
a hal hours.
An additional treatment we recommend
is a skin peel or the eet or deep
exoliation and ultimate rehydration at36.

I saw a bank that said 24 Hour Banking, but I dont have that much time.
WHEN regular columnist PeterColhoun invited me for a foot as-sessment I was certainly not going
to refuse.Normally, Im a little nervous about seeking medical
treament but this time I was grateul.As a regular runner, I am used to the aches and pains
that inevitably ollow training runs.But this year it was dierent. I was unable to shake
o a persistent ankle injury which got progressivelyworse over the months.It became so bad that thetraining stopped altogether and I abandoned myplans or the Chester Hal Marathon.So I dropped in at the clinic, at 137 Hough
Green, last month to see i Peter couldnd the solution to my problem.Peter was very welcoming and
seemed remarkably unperturbed atthe prospect o looking at my eet!Ater removing my trainers andsocks, I sat on the treatment tablewhere Peter poked and prodded vari-ous parts o my eet and ankles.He then produced a protractor to
work out how fexible - or otherwise -my joints were.Later, I was asked to walk up and
down the room at least a dozen timesso that Peter could take a closer lookat my gait.
He was able to diagnose that my pain was emanatingrom my fat eet which was pulling on the achillestendon and the tibia (shin bone).My next job was to stand in two boxes which took a
mould o my eet. Te moulds have now been sent oto America which will be used as the basis or special
inserts to go into my shoes and trainers rom now on.Peter qualied as a podiatrist 12 years ago, and sincethen has developed a special interest in biomechanicsand walking/gait assessments.He says its amazing that most o us check the
balancing and tracking on our cars regularly butwe never have our own postural and walking habitsassessed! Tis should be important to us, as conserva-tive estimates indicate that we each walk an averageo 5,000 steps each day or enough to take us ve
times around the globe in a lietime!Peter enjoys the practical application o biomechani-cal treatment, by using specialist shoe insoles (pre-scription orthoses) where indicated to help balanceyour skeleton and body when standing, walking or
running.He points out that so many o our oot
and leg problems originate rom theway we walk and stand.I will have the insoles tted later
this month and will report back ontheir success in the August edition.So, i you have any aches and pains
in your eet and legs then its denitelyworth paying a visit to Peter. He may
well have the answer.Contact Peter today or a ree chat, orto arrange an appointment on 620 249or visit his website at www.petercol-houn.com
Next time: Did the footinsoles work?

Q. Help! I have very puffy skin below my eyes. What can I do to
reduce the pufness?
A. This qestion is asked so freqently that I have decided to give an
extended answer to yor qestion.
The soltion to pffy eyes will depend very mch on the case of the
pufness. If you have always had puffy eyes, this may indicate that you
are genetically predisposed to having fatty deposits in this area; or, the
pufness could be a result of ageing when the fat pads beneath the skin
start to shift altering the eye contor. In both of these instances there is
really is no cre other than with srgery.
However, if your eyes arent usually puffy and you awake to nd your
under eye area is swollen, this type of pufness is relatedto inammation. Firstly, you need to apply something to
redce the swelling. Cold compresses are a good, qick and
inexpensive soltion becase cold cases swollen skin to
contract. Soak cotton wool pads or a piece of clean cloth
in cold (not icy cold) water, or apply a gel-lled eye mask
from the refrigerator.
Cold ccmber slices are also helpfl, bt they work
becase they are cool, not becase they have any magical
ingredient. Yo can also apply sed, cooled tea bags,
however they need to be the caffeinated type as the
caffeine together with the tannins helps to contract thedistended skin. Whatever yo decide to se, lightly press
the cold compress on the pffy areas for several mintes to
help the swelling sbside.
Continual pufng up and then deating of the delicate
skin arond the eyes will eventally lead to eye bags and
wrinkling so its important to nd the cause of the pufness.
If yo wear eye makep ensre that yo are removing all
traces every night. Avoid sing an oily eye makep remover
as this can often cause pufness.
Whilst on the sbject of skin care prodcts make sre thatyou use a product specically designed for the delicate
eye area and se the prodct very sparingly. A bead of
eye cream abot the size of a grain of rice is ample for the
eye area. Dring the daytime it is also important that yor
eye cream contains a snscreen to prevent the thin, fragile
skin arond the eyes from prematre wrinkling. Check the
ingredient list of yor skin care prodcts to ensre that
they do not contain fragrance. Throw ot any prodcts that
contain fragrance.
Rubbing the eyes can also lead to pufness and check out
any allergies that yo may have from pollens or food withyor GP.

RECIPERHUBARB AND APPLE CHARLOTTE
Method:
1. Pre-heat the oven to 220C/425F/Gas Mark
7 and have ready six 7-8 x 5cm individal metal
pdding molds or a 12.5 x 6-7cm cake tin.
2. Cut six bread discs to t the bases of the
moulds and six to t the tops. Cut away the
crsts of the remaining slices and slice into
approx. 3cm ngers.
3. Btter all of the bread on one side only.
Then place a disc, btter side down, in the
base of each mould. The ngers can now be
laid, btter-side against the mold, slightly
overlapping all the way rond.
To make the fruit lling:
4. Peel the rhbarb, if stringy, and ct into 1cm
chnks.
5. Melt half of the btter in a large sacepan
and, once bbbling, add the rhbarb.
6. Trn the frit pieces in the pan for 1 mintebefore adding 50g of caster sgar. Contine to
cook for a frther minte.
7. The rhbarb can now be strained in a
colander, allowing the sweet jices to collect in
a bowl.
8. While draining the rhbarb, the apples can
also be prepared. Peel, core and ct each into
eight wedges. The wedges can now be ct in
half, leaving chnky pieces.
9. Melt the remaining btter in a sacepan,
adding the apples once bbbling.
10. Cook for 2 mintes before adding the
remaining sgar. Contine to cook for 1-2
mintes then leave to cool.
11. The rhbarb will now have drained. Take
a qarter of the frit pieces and mix with the
jices collected, bring to a simmer and cook
ntil tender.
12. Once tender, liqidize and psh throgh
a sieve. Yo now have fresh rhbarb syrp to
serve with the charlottes.
13. Once both frits have cooled, gently mix
together. It is best now to taste for sweetness.
If the avour is too tart, add a sprinkling of
caster or icing sgar.
14. Divide the mix between the charlottes and
top with the lids. Any excess bread at the sides
shold be folded over to keep the lids in place.15. For individal charlottes bake in the pre
heated oven for 20 mintes, a large charlotte
will take 40 45 mintes.
16. Once cooked, trn ot the charlottes onto
plates and reveal the crispy golden nish, then
spoon the rhbarb syrp arond and serve.
Serves 6
Ingredients:
450g stale bread (approx. 12-18
slices)
Softened butter, for spreading
450g fresh rhubarb
50g butter
75g caster sugar
Three green desert apples

JULy HIGH SUMMERGARDENING By JANET HEATH
IN July, many of the owering shrubs
are over and colour comes from the
perennials in your garden.
Cool bles can be fond in lavenders
which enjoy hot dry sitations and will seed
themselves into gravel if yo have a gravel
path or drive. Lavender Hidcote with dark ble
owers is a smaller shrub than the originalEnglish Lavender which has longer stems of
pale blue owers. Both look good bordering
a path or near a seating area where yo can
brsh against the foliage to release the scent.
They can die off in hard winters and tend to
become sparse with age so expect to replacethem after a few years. Once owering is over,
clip the shrb back bt do not ct back into
wood withot green growth. Lavenders do not
sprout new shoots from leaess wood.
Try planting lavender with deep prple sage
plants for contrast in foliage color and textre.
There are some good robst perennials that
ower in July that will come up year after year
and reqire little attention. If yo want vibrantmagenta color, try the perennial geranim
Ann Folkard. The plant is not very tall and
produces stems of owers with black andmagenta pink owers from summer to autumn.
Cut off the stems after owering and moreshold be prodced in atmn.
Plant the geranim with a yellow Hemerocallis
or day lily for a bright and cheerfl display of
contrasting shapes and colors. Hemerocallis
come in a range of large and small varieties
with grassy or strap like leaves and tall heads
of lily owers in July.
In the vegetable garden, plant ot winter leeks
and brassicas sch as broccoli and sprots.
Sow lettce when the weather is cooler,germination of lettce seeds is poor in high
temperatres so wait for a cooler period before
sowing seed. Net frit sch as strawberries
and bleberries so the birds do not eat the frit
rst. Raspberries seem to be largely immune
probably as the frit is not so easy for birds to
reach.
