PONDSANDPITS

by Stephen Guy

They were places ofmystery, as well aspleasure, with thepossibility of newdiscoveries comingto light.

Any time of the yearwas suitable for ex-plorat ion but thedepths of winter or theheights of summerheld equal attractions.

Many of the pits,ponds and lakes scat-tered around the openspaces were man-made. Some served todrain the land, othersgrew by accident butall had a certain mag-ic.

Two of my earlymemories feature twostretches of water inChildwall Valley andCalderstones Park.

A big pond offBarnham Drive wasused as a playgroundby local children.Father had also knownit in the 1920s.

An island stood in

the middle and someboys made a raft to getto their den. Hard win-ters saw the pondfreeze. It was filled inlong ago but you canstill see an outlinewhere the ground isboggy.

An equally fasci-nating place to me wasa group of ponds setamong mounds ofearth in Calderstones.There were stickle-backs and water bee-tles in the clear water– the beetles were easyto scoop up and ex-amine.

Later this area waslandscaped with abridge and prettyflower beds but it didnot have the samesense of the unknown.

Calderstones Parklake was created in1933 by workers em-ployed during the eco-nomic depressionwhich saw many outof work.

A much older lake

is in Greenbank Park– a big house onceoverlooked its calmwaters when it was aprivate estate.

A series of pondscalled Forty Pits lay offAllerton Road, northof Booker Avenue. Thepits filled up after marl– a clay-like rock – wasexcavated to fertilizecrops. This was a pop-ular beauty spot.

Princes Park is pic-tured on an Edwardianpostcard showing thearea around the lakekept private for the ex-clusive use of localresidents. The outerareas were for the gen-eral public.

Agentleman strollstowards a bridge thatonce led to the island.Today the scene is verydifferent with this partof the lake virtually dryand filled with treesand shrubs sproutingfrom the mud.

A p a r t i c u l a rfavourite of mine in re-

cently-refurbishedSefton Park is a pondnext to the grottowhere water makes itsway gently to the lake.

BLACKBURNE HOUSEHIGH SCHOOL FOR

GIRLS REUNION 2014

Emma Boylan was3 1 w h e n h e rbeloved Father,J o h n B o y l a n ,passed away afterbeing diagnosedwith a brain tu-mour in 2011.

Since then, Emmahas been a great sup-porter of the MarieCurie Hospice inWoolton where herDad was cared for.Taking part in an over-

seas trek through theBrazilian rainforest in2012 and helping withGreat Daffodil Appealcollections in 2013,Emma has raised in ex-cess of £4,000! Here’sEmma’s story:

“When Dad wasdiagnosed with cancer,it was heart breakingto take him from hos-pital to hospital, andhear him ask mostnights if he could gohome. It was only

when he was admittedto the Marie CurieHospice in Wooltonthat he didn’t ask to betaken home. He hadhis own room with aTV and space for hisown personal items.He felt at home. It wasa place where his fam-ily could drop in andstay with him forhours. He felt com-fortable.

The most comfort-ing thing about the

Emma supportsGreat Daffodil

Appeal in memory ofher beloved Father

Marie Curie Hospicewas the warm, friend-ly welcome that we allreceived from the doc-tors and nurses, whowere so good to us all.They kept us up to dateon a regular basis giv-ing that special per-sonal touch. They werealways on hand withsupport, advice, a cupof tea and an extrahelping of dessert forour food loving Father!The staff at the hospicehad genuine sympa-

thy and helped us copewhen the time came todeal with our belovedFather’s passing. Forall of those things, wewill be truly and for-ever grateful.

We do our best togive back in any waythat we can. Last year,I took part in the GreatDaffodil Appeal, andthis year, I will be don-ning my yellow tabardand mad hatter hat todo it all again! It’s aneasy way to support

Marie Curie, by just sparing a cou-ple of hours of your time, you canmake a real difference to local peo-ple with a terminal illness. I gotmy friends and family together tocollect in the City Centre, but thereare lots of collections acrossMerseyside for people to get in-

volved with, and I would encour-age everyone to spare an hour ortwo this March to help more ter-minally ill people in Merseyside”.

STRANGE TALES

ANNIE ON THE IVORIESby AntonValdemart

The organ musicsoared and cas-caded around thelittle valley, some-times solemn butmore often manicin its gaiety.

“Annie’s on theivories again,” saidPatience Pugh to herfriend Constance asthey walked throughthe village. “Let’s goand talk to her.”

They entered thegospel hall, a simpletin tabernacle standingin an orchard.

Annie Bromley wasa stout, jolly womanwhose musical skillwas admired by thewhole community. Herplump hands danced orhovered over the keysdepending on what shewas playing.

Annie was admiredfor her inspired ren-dering of popular

hymns, of course, butshe was equally athome with catchy mu-sic hall tunes.

She could haveeveryone tapping theirfeet or plunging intogloom, such was theemotional power ofher expertise.

“I need some freshair,” she told herfriends, easing herselfout of the wooden seat,stepping down on tothe slate floor.

T h e t h r e e e x -changed some pleas-antries before Annieset off alone up the hill.“She’s a strange one,”said Patience as theywatched her go.

It was a hot day andAnnie sat down on aboulder to catch herbreath. The air waftingdown from the higherslopes was intoxicat-ing.

She quenched herthirst in a crystal clearspring gushing fromrocks and set off backinto the village.

Annie felt energisedby the cool water, herthoughts raced – shefelt inspired. The nextday she was imbued

with an eerie power asshe entered the gospelhall.

Her playing took oneven greater com-plexity and skill. Agroup of childrenwalking past sponta-

neously began to dancebefore their teachertold them to stop.

Annie returned tothe spring, craving thecool water. She filleda bucket to the brim,carefully carrying it

back to her cottage.T h e f o l l o w i n g

morning was clear andbright. Annie strodethrough the village,her face beaming withan inner light.

She sat at the organ,

flexed her fingers andbegan to play. The mu-sic rose to a crescen-do, filling the air withmagical melodies.

The children werethe first to be affect-ed, sat at their desksin the school next tothe gospel hall.

They stood up andbegan to dance. “Sitdown!” shouted the

teacher as the childrendanced more and morewildly. Then she joinedin as well. They alllaughed hystericallyas they danced out in-to the road.

The screamed withlaughter as the elderlyminister came dancingout of the manse, hislimbs flailing madly.

Soon everyone was

dancing uncontrol-lably up and down,round and about. Thewhole village swarmedaround the gospel hall,dancing to Annie’sfrantic playing.

They surged out ofthe village, into themeadows where sheepand cattle fled as theyapproached.

Suddenly the music

stopped and everyonefell to the ground ex-hausted.

When they awokeAnnie was gone.

Services were nev-er quite the same againat the gospel hall.

At The Chiropractic Clinic we are

a lways looking to improve our

treatment and options for you. We

b e l i e v e t h a t a d d i n g e x p e r t

physiotherapy to our remit is a great

way to do this.

It is extremely rare to have the

opportunity to consult with such

experienced practitioners in private

practice and we are delighted to

provide this service. Also from

working previously with Leigh we

k n o w t h a t p h y s i o t h e r a p y a n d

chiropractic compliment one another

to provide the best overall options for

the patient. This is the key positive

for us.

Chiropractic and physiotherapy are

sometimes seen as professions that

don’t get along. Here at The

Chiropractic Clinic we are dedicated

to changing stereotypes and working

together to provide the best possible

care for you.

At The Chiropractic Clinic in Garston we

are delighted to announce that Leigh

Halfteck, physiotherapist at British

Athletics will begin consultancy work at

the clinic as of February 2014.

Leigh is a great addition to the clinic

team and brings a wealth of experience.

Leigh has been working in professional

sport for 6 years. He works full time for

British Athletics (the performance arm of

UK Athletics); prior to that he worked for

the English Institute of Sport with the GB

Taekwondo Squad, for the 4 years leading

up to and including the London 2012

Olympic Games.

However, treatment is not just for

sport ing individuals and athletes,

everyone can expect to receive the

same high level of treatment that is

given the professional athletes Leigh

treats.

Leigh has a specialist interest in visceral

treatment. Visceral treatment involves

addressing movement and restriction

dysfunction within the abdominal organs.

This is assessed with specific palpation

on the surface of the abdomen. These

issues can often be associated with low

back and pelvic pain.

Leigh has many commitments with

Athletics camps and competitions and

therefore his clinical time will be limited to

accommodate this. For more information

or to book an appointment, call the clinic

on 0151 4275000

those legs of certain-ty from under these be-liefs. Choose the twomost disempoweringbeliefs and ask your-self the followingquestions:

• How is this beliefpathetic and absurd?

• Was this person Ilearned this belieffrom worth model-ling in this area?

• What will it ulti-mately cost me emo-tionally if I don’t letgo of this belief?

• What will it ulti-mately cost me inmy relationship if Idon’t let go of this be-lief?

• What will it cost mephysically?

• What will it cost mefinancially?Once you have an-

have just eliminated.Once you have chosennew beliefs think ofsome references, or‘table legs’, that willsupport your new be-lief.

Whatever the resultsyou are after, think ofa person or role mod-el who is alreadyachieving results in aparticular area and askthem or think aboutwhat their beliefs are.

It’s tempting to be-lieve that Mother’sDay was the in-vention of greet-ings card manu-facturers orfloristsbut, like so manyother customs, itcan be traced to theancient Greeks,who held an annu-al Spring festivalto Rhea, the moth-er of the gods.

T h e R o m a n scopied the idea withofferings to Cybele,who was also a moth-er of deities. EarlyChristians embracedthe idea by dedicat-ing the fourth Sundayin Lent to Mary themother of Christ and,as time went by, theEnglish extended theidea to include allmothers in what be-c a m e k n o w n a s“Mothering Sunday”.

From the early 16thcentury, families cel-ebrated with servantsbeing allowed hometo visit their mothers,and even a specialcake baked to markthe day.

Presidents Taft andRoosevelt supportedAnna’s campaign andin 1914 PresidentWoodrow Wilsonproclaimed that May2nd was a national

holiday - “ Mother’sDay”.

Sadly, the growingcommercialisation ofMother’s Day wasdeeply distressing toAnna, who admitted

before her death in1948 that she regrettedstarting the tradition.

Mother’s Day con-tinues to flourisharound the globe, al-beit on different
