HESWALL Police Station will remain open despite thecutbacks at Merseyside Police.
But the station will no longer have general enquiry ofce,
which is essentially a front counter.
The only two front desks to remain open in the Wirral will be
at Birkenhead and Wallasey.
Police chiefs say the decision was made to allow more
ofcers to be out on the streets, rather than being stuck
behind a desk.
Superintendent Kevin Johnson said: In all the changes
we have made we have focused on what the public tell usis important; maintaining a visible policing presence, answering your calls within our
target time and attending, both emergency and non-emergency calls, within our agreed
target time.
No police stations will close but as part of the cost savings, the number of GEOs
across the force will reduce from 34 to 12. I would like to reassure our communities that
residents in every area will continue to have access to a 24-hour police station within
their local area and another that is open from 8am until 10pm.
Call 101 for non-emergency queries.
Ne rideay pannedA NEW route for horse riders could be opened between Lower Thingwall Lane and
Station Road / Stourton Lane, in Barnston.
The Wirral Committee of the British Horse Society is conducting a survey which will
contribute to a decision on whether to open a new bridleway to bypass a busy part of
the road.
To contribute to the survey please e-mail bhswirral@talktalk.net
Cae to run through gof coure?
PART of Arrowe Park Golf Course could be dug up so that major electrical cabling can
be laid.The National Grids Western High
Voltage Direct Current Link cable will
bring power from Scottish wind farms
via the Irish Sea, then through the Wirral
to a power station in Connahs Quay by
late 2015.
The cable would need to be laid across
part of Arrowe Park Golf Course,
potentially closing up to three holes for
nearly three months.

Chiy dip
HESWALLS Mark Sargent was among the daring swimmers who took part in the Boxing
Day Dip at West Kirby Marine Lake
The shrieks above the surf were not the usual seagulls - but madcap people braving the
wintry water for a festive dip.
Screams from the waves of fancy-dressed funsters were an accurate thermometer that
told exactly how cold the water was on Boxing Day, but it did not stop more than 80
entrants tackling the event at West Kirby.
One of the prize hampers went to Mark Sargent, from Heswall Round Table, for dressing
up in a Morph outt to enter the water in. Another went to brave dipper, Iolene Marie
Parry, entered the water in an Hawaiian outt, has raised over 650 to help the Northern
Lights charity send seriously ill children to Lapland.

Death o well-known
community fgureA PROMINENT gure within West Wirral RotaryClub had died.
Vernon Schwarz died late last year at the age
of 64 after a battle with cancer.
Vernon had a distinguished career in
secondary education, working at a number
of Wirral Schools, including Pensby Boys
School.
In 1986 Vernon was one of the founder
members of the Rotary Club of West
Wirral and was its president for the year1990-1991.
He was well known both in his local
community and in Rotary as a hands-on
contributor and champion for the needs of young people both at home and abroad.
He was Vice-chairman of governors at Meadowside School in Upton; a school for
children with complex learning difculties.
Vernon was also chairman of the Dale Farm Association. This non-prot day centre
for adults with learning difculties in Lower Heswall promotes independence through
various aspects of horticulture. Vernon was often to be found working closely with
these adults on plots producing organic vegetables, honey, perennial and beddingplants for later sale in the farm shop.
Over the last two years Vernon and his wife Jenny visited Lucknow in India to help
with Rotarys Polio Plus campaign to vaccinate millions of children under the age of
ve in one day.
Alan Swift, from the Rotary Club, of West Wirral, said: Sadly Wirral is poorer by the
passing of this outstanding member of our community.

The way we were
Heswall Golf Club
was founded in 1902,
overlooking the River
Dee on land leased from
John Baskerville Glegg.
Work began on the nine
hole course in June and
was ready for informalopening by September. The
temporary clubhouse was
part of Gayton Hall Farm
and with a membership
of almost 200, the club
was able to build a new
clubhouse next to the
temporary one in 1904. This
two storied clubhouse was
burnt down in 1924, with
total damage of 10,000.
The new clubhouse opened
in 1926.
Pilot Ofcer Pentlands
RAF bi-plane crash landed
onto Heswall Golf Course
in 1926, the River Dee
side of the railway line. His
life was saved by using a
parachute and he became
the rst British member of
the Caterpillar Club whose
membership was open
to those whose lives had
been saved by parachute.

BOOK REVIEWS:
BOOKS FOR THE NEW YEARBY ELEANOR DAVIES, FROM LINGHAMS BOOKSTORE, HESWALL
Genera Fiction: Jamrach Menagerie: Caro birch
This magical novel begins with the encounter between eight year old
Jaffy Brown, a lad from the slums of Victorian London, and a tiger who
happens to be roaming the streets of the city. This leads to a whole
series of events which shape Jaffys life, eventually leading to his
waving goodbye to his true love Ishbel and boarding a ship bound for
the Indian Ocean. Besides the tiger we meet other animals including
a whale and a dragon; we also get to know Tim, Ishbels twin brother,
who goes through many adventures with Jaffy. Eventually they become
shipwrecked and thats when we discover who the real menagerie
are, those members of the crew who are left with them oating on the ocean in a lifeboat. Not abook for the fainthearted- the last third is pretty grisly- but it is a fantastic yarn with a beautiful and
bizarre atmosphere. Shortlisted for the Booker Prize last Sept, this is a must-read for anyone who
enjoyed Life of Pi and also a great novel for a book group.
l Author Carol Birch will be at Linghams Book Club to discuss the novel on Thursday 8th
March. The event is open to the general public and all are extremely welcome- details at the
shop: 342 7290
sport: The Inpirationa wiiam McGregor: Peter lupon and John leri
The name of William McGregor, founder of the Football League, stands alongside those of
Ebenezer Cobb Morley (father of the Football Association) and Charles Alcock (founder of the F. A.competition) as one who belongs among the games great innovators. In this beautifully produced
little book local writer Peter Lupson (author of Thank God for Football and Across the Park) and
John Lerwill tell the story of William McGregor who, as a committed Aston Villa man and an
important ofcer of the club, became vitally concerned about the organisation of the national game
leading to his starting a movement which resulted in the creation of The Football League in 1888.
This publication came out on the 100th anniversary of William McGregors death and introduces
the reader to the character of the founder of all league football. It contains several photographs and
illustrations and there is a foreword by Kevin Moore, the Director of the National Football Museum .
Recommended for football fans.
Genera Interet: something of the Night: Ian MarchantHeres an original book which has had some great reviews from national
papers- a journey into the darkness of the British Isles. When you look up
into the night sky, what do you think about? Are you cowed by the vastness
of the universe and the insignicance of human beings? Night time is not
just a time for sleep or reading in bed, but also reworks and frivolity, parties,
music, romance, and, in some cases, work. If nobody worked at night, Britain
would cease to function. Night can be beautiful but it can also feel cold,
haunted, inhuman and wild and the book reminds us that most people die in
the dark hours. Set over the course of an intoxicated night in a house up a
mountain in West Cork, Ian Marchant offers a darkly funny account of whatpeople get up to when the sun goes down, explores his own experience of a
life of night times, and shows us how we all have something of the night about us.
