Beauty by Jas 

Beauty by Jas 

Beauty by Jas is now open in Gillingham. Owner Jasmine Boult has a 

passion for beauty and prides herself on the service she offers. She had 

always planned to open her own salon, a chance opportunity before 

Christmas brought the plan forward! Jasmine said “I’ve loved choosing the 

décor and fixtures for the salon. I’m really pleased with how my ideas 

have come to life and I’m sure my customers will love it too.” 

Treatments available include waxing, tinting, lash extensions, lash 

perming, spray tanning, manicures (including gel and acrylic), pedicures, 

massage and microblading. 

Jasmine said “Microblading is a semi-permanent make-up technique used 

to create perfect eyebrows. It’s great for people that have sparse or 

thinning brows as it allows me to create long lasting natural looking 

brows. I’m very excited to be able to offer this treatment.” 

The salon is located in Station Road, Gillingham next to the Barber Shop. 

The salon will be open Monday to Saturday. To ensure customers can fit 

in their treatments around working days Beauty by Jas will have evening 

appointments available. 

To find out more 

about the 

treatments on 

offer please give 

the salon a call on

Community hall project nears 

completion thanks to grant success. 

Gillingham Scout Group want to thank all their supporters who voted for us in the Aviva 

Community Fund Competition. We managed to secure enough votes from supporters in 

our community to be entered into the finals, where a judging panel awarded us over 

£4800 to buy tables and chairs for the new community hall we are currently building in 

Milton on Stour. 

Our vision is for this new building to be a valuable asset for the whole community when 

the build is complete in March 2019, but to help us realise this dream we need funds to 

equip the building. Our success in the Aviva competition is a fantastic boost to our 

fundraising efforts. 

Another great help bringing us closer to having a 

functional community facility was our recent 

successful grant application to the People’s 

Postcode Trust, a grant-giving charity funded by 

players of the People’s Postcode Lottery. We were 

lucky enough to be awarded £10,000 which will fully 

equip the kitchen . 

Community building progress to date 

We have been granted planning permission for a 

new community building and building work started 

in August 2018. Local contractors including Burfitt 

and Garrett, Rose Engineering and Lampard 

Electrics have been contracted for a completion 

date of Mar 2019. We hope to move in in summer 

2019. 

Most of the funding is in place as we have been 

successful in securing a LEADER grant from the EU 

for £140,000, but to complete, and ready the 

building for occupation we now have to raise the 

remaining funds to finish off the interior.

Serves 6-8 

Preparation time 45minutes 

Cooking time 30 minutes 

Ingredients 

A creamy meat-free version of this supper 

Pack lasagne sheets 

125g Mozzarella, sliced 

30g Parmesan 

For the tomato sauce 

Olive oil 

1 Onion, finely chopped 

2 Garlic cloves, crushed 

150ml Red wine 

2 x 400g Tins chopped tomatoes 

1 tsp Sugar 

2 tbsp Worcester sauce 

2 tbsp Tomato purée 

Bunch fresh basil, chopped 

For the creamy spinach and ricotta 

sauce 

375g Spinach 

Knob of butter 

500g Ricotta 

250g Mascarpone 

4 medium free-range egg 

yolks 

Grated zest 1 lemon 

Pinch freshly grated nutmeg 

40g Parmesan, grated 

Method 

Preheat the oven to 200° 

C/180°C fan/ gas 6. Heat the 

oil in a medium pan, then fry 

the onion for 6-8 minutes until 

soft. Add the garlic and fry for 

a further minute. Pour in the 

red wine; turn up the heat and 

simmer for 3-4 minutes to 

reduce the liquid by half. Add 

the tomatoes, sugar, Worcester sauce 

and tomato purée. Reduce the heat and 

simmer for 15-20 minutes until 

thickened. Add the basil, and season 

well. 

Place the spinach in a large pan with a 

knob of butter. Cover and cook over a 

medium heat for 2-3 minutes until the 

spinach has wilted. It will seem to almost 

disappear! Drain the cooked spinach in a 

colander and press to squeeze out any 

excess water. Roughly chop, then mix 

with the rest of the creamy sauce 

ingredients. Taste and season well 

Spread a little of the spinach and ricotta 

sauce over the base of the baking dish, 

then cover with slightly overlapping 

lasagne sheets. Pour over a third of the 

remaining white sauce, sprinkle over a 

little of the grated cheese and top with 

half the tomato sauce. Cover with 

another layer of lasagne sheets, top with 

half the remaining white sauce, then all 

the remaining tomato sauce. Add the 

final layer of lasagne sheets, then spread 

with the rest of the white sauce. Scatter 

with the remaining grated cheese. 

Top with mozzarella slices and the 

grated Parmesan and bake for 30 

minutes until golden and bubbling.

How to play Sudoku 

It’s simple! 

Fill in the grid so that 

each row, column and

numbers 1 through to 9 

with no repetition. 

You don’t need to be a 

genius. These puzzles 

use logic alone. 

Watch out! Sudoku is 

highly addictive.

The Gift by Rik Lonsdale 

That morning the postman brought Rachel a card. She knew who it was from, of course. 

The envelope had a US stamp and the only person she knew in the States was her son. She 

missed him, but Tim had met, and fallen in love with, an American while at university. They 

were both computer experts and had gone to live in San Jose where the well-paid jobs were. 

She didn’t expect to see him anytime soon either, they were working hard to save enough to 

buy a house. 

Rachel opened the card. It was lovely and contained a proper, handwritten letter from Tim. 

She stood the card on the coffee table and saved the letter to read later. It was a fine, spring 

day so she spent the morning and much of the afternoon in the garden. She was exhausted 

when she finally put her feet up with Tim’s letter and a cup of tea. 

Rachel woke to the sound of her husband’s voice. 

‘I’ve got this for you,’ he said. 

Rachel had fallen asleep on the couch. She stirred when he spoke and stroked her cheek. 

‘Hello Johnny, I didn’t hear you come in, when did you get home?’ she said. 

‘Just now, it was quiet at work, so I sloped off early.’ 

‘I must have fallen asleep,’ said Rachel, with a sidelong look. 

She’s feeling guilty for sleeping in the afternoon thought Johnny. He picked up the cold cup 

of tea from the coffee table. It was full. 

‘I bet you’re thirsty as well. Would you like a fresh cup?’ 

‘Please,’ said Rachel as she levered herself into a sitting position. ‘What’s this?’ she said, 

picking up the small packet that Johnny had left behind on the table. 

‘It’s just a little something for you,’ called Johnny from the kitchen. 

‘I wonder what it is?’ said Rachel, but Johnny couldn’t hear her over the noise of the kettle 

coming to the boil. 

It was rectangular, grey and plain. Rachel shook the packet and held it to her ear. There was 

no sound. She thought it might be jewellery but hoped not. Lovely as he was, Johnny had 

never understood Rachels taste in clothes, or jewellery, despite their thirty years together. 

She put it down next to Tim’s card. It was joined by a fresh cup of tea and Johnny sat next 

to her. 

‘I’ve got a card and a letter from Tim,’ said Rachel, ‘and now a present from you, what’s 

going on, it’s not my birthday.’ 

‘Why don’t you open it and find out?’ said Johnny. 

Rachel opened the packet carefully. Inside was a 

bulging envelope. Rachel looked quizzically at her husband. 

‘What is this?’ she said. 

Johnny laughed. ‘Have a look, I’m sure you’ll like 

it.’ 

Rachel opened the envelope and found five hundred 

US Dollars. ‘Why are you giving me foreign money?’ 

‘I thought you might need some cash when we fly 

over to see Tim next week. It is Mother’s Day and you 

should see your only son at least once a year.’

Nuremberg’s Voice of Doom 

The autobiography of the chief interpreter at history’s greatest trials 

Wolfe Frank edited by Paul Hooley 

FREE 

LOCAL 

DELIVERY 

‘MAKING 

YOUR HOUSE A HOME’ 

ALL UK MADE 

This photograph was taken following a talk 

given to members of the Rosemary Goddard 

Centre in Mere about the book 'Nuremberg's 

Voice of Doom' which is a posthumous 

autobiography of Wolfe Frank, the Chief 

Interpreter at the International War Crimes 

trials of Nazi war criminals, as compiled, edited 

and expanded by local author Paul Hooley. 

Frank played an important role in 'history's 

greatest trials' and the reason the RG Centre 

was such an appropriate place to give this talk is 

that Wolfe Frank retired to Mere, where he 

completed his memoirs, and he lived next door 

to the Centre in Lynch Close – now Eileen 

Burfitt’s residence (Frank would have visited the 

Centre himself ).
