Poor balance can make us unsteady and fearful of falling, or even cause a fall. This is more common after the age of 65, but by acting proactively early on we can avoid many of these problems. Inactivity is one of the reasons that we develop poor posture and balance, putting us at risk of falls and fractures, as we get older. What happens if we lead a sedentary life? * Muscle loss Physically inactive people can lose as much as 3% to 5% of their muscle mass each decade after age 30. This speeds up after the age of about 60 – 70, and is more common in people who are sedentary. Muscle loss can adversely affect your health and fitness as well as your looks. Because it affects your strength it’s a factor in frailty and the likelihood of falls and fractures in older adults. Exercise using resistance training will improve muscle strength. For exercises that can be done at home see http://www.nhs.uk/Livewell/ fitness/Pages/strength-exercises-for-older-people.aspx or http://www.nhs.uk/Tools/Pages/ Exercises-for-older-people.aspx * Osteoporosis Bone strength is controlled in part by weight bearing exercise, as the effect of the impact of the lower limb on the floor actually stimulates the bone turnover process. This was demonstrated by the fact that returning astronauts have a greatly diminished bone density caused by weightlessness. Also, professional tennis players have been shown to have increased bone density in their serving arm, from the action of the impact of the racquet on the ball. Walking, jogging or dancing are good exercise for bones. However, brisk walking has been demonstrated to increase falls because of the walker’s other problems such as poor vision resulting in trips! * Stiffer Joints There are 200 types of arthritis, with osteoarthritis being the commonest. The cartilage which covers the ends of the bones can become worn with age or by trauma. The joint compensates for this - the bone changes shape, the capsule around the joint thickens, and the lubricating fluid in the joint diminishes. This all makes the joint stiff and painful, which is a common cause of poor balance, mobility and falls. A joint that has an acute injury (such as a sprain) needs to be rested temporarily, but an arthritic joint needs to move little and often on a regular basis to encourage production of the lubricating fluid. Non-weight bearing exercise such as swimming or aquarobics are good for joints. What is the best exercise? Exercise is good for preventing and managing a wide range of physical conditions and is good for our emotional health. Exercise as prevention or as a treatment now features in 39 UK national guidelines. Continued on page 3 2 Continued from page 2 If you have fairly good posture and balance and want to maintain it research has demonstrated that practising Tai Chi regularly is effective. If you need to improve your balance and posture there is strong evidence that a programme of specifically designed exercises is effective. The first 12 – 16 weeks of the programme is run in local leisure centres in conjunction with Public Health Wales and the National Exercise Refer- ral Scheme (NERS), and is delivered by qualified Exercise Professionals. During this time you will learn new skills to improve your posture and balance. A further period of about 16 weeks will help you to maintain these gains. At the end of the programme there is a step down to on- going exercise of your choice, ideally Tai Chi. Returning to a sedentary life will undo the good work! To access this programme please ask your practice nurse or physiotherapist to refer you. Celia Drew, Falls Prevention Coordinator, Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board.

  • Grave Slab, Hawarden the Memorial Inscriptions in Hawarden Parish Church
    GRAVE SLAB, HAWARDEN THE MEMORIAL INSCRIPTIONS IN HAWARDEN PARISH CHURCH By W. Bell Jones HE parish church of St. Deiniol, Hawarden, T probably dates from the thirteenth century, but with the exception of a tombstone or coffin lid of about that date, of which a drawing is here in­ serted,1 it presents no object of any great antiquity. There are several reasons which account for this. No doubt this church, in common with others, suffered heavily at the time of the " Great Pillage," as it certainly did during the Commonwealth period, when the ancient stained glass, and probably much else, was destroyed.2 Again in 1742 the church underwent a " renovation," which consisted of plaster and whitewash and the removal of old woodwork. In 1816 further "improvements" were effected, the remains of the old rood screen being then removed, while to complete the devastation a fire occurred in 1857, which practically left nothing standing save the tower and the walls. These circumstances account for the meagreness of ancient memorials in a church with a history covering at least 700 years and in close proximity to an old border castle, the scene of many stirring events, and the 1 The stone is 31 inches long, 12 inches wide at the top and 9 inches at the bottom. It was used as a gravestone in 1777, but it is now placed in the church porch. 2 See Phillips, Civil War in Wales and the Marches. 170 The Memorial Inscriptions in home of the Montalts, Stanleys, and other noble families. In recording the various memorial inscriptions now remaining in the church, the first place may be given to those of the Ravenscrofts of Bretton.

  • Flintshire Local Development Plan – Consideration of Deposit Consultation Representations and Responses and Submission for Public Examination
    FLINTSHIRE COUNTY COUNCIL Date of Meeting Tuesday, 29th September 2020 Report Subject Flintshire Local Development Plan – Consideration of Deposit Consultation Representations and Responses and Submission for Public Examination Cabinet Member Cabinet Member for Planning and Public Protection Report Author Chief Officer (Planning, Environment and Economy) Type of Report Strategic EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Deposit Local Development Plan (LDP) was approved for public consultation by the Council on the 23 July 2019. Consultation took place between 30 September and 11 November 2019 and attracted 1281 representations from 657 separate respondents. Details of these representations and a summary of the proposed Council’s response to them can be found in Appendix 1. Following consultation, the Council, as Local Planning Authority (LPA), had a statutory duty under the LDP regulations (Regulation 19) to make available all the representations received. This has been done by placing them on the LDP consultation portal and in a summary table on the Council’s website. Table 2 (after paragraph 1.07 below) shows the number of representations made against each of the policies in the LDP and other sections of the Plan. The largest numbers of representations to one site or policy (129 and 198 respectively) are objections to two housing allocations in Ewloe and Hawarden/Mancott (Policy HN1) although clearly it is the materiality of the points raised that is of most direct relevance. The representations received, along with a number of other documents, as prescribed in the Welsh Government (WG) LDP regulations (Regulation 22) (including the Sustainability Appraisal (SA) Report, Community Involvement Scheme (CIS), Consultation Report, Site Register and other supporting documents that the Council, as Local Planning Authority, considers relevant to the preparation of the Plan (e.g.
