MAN WITH CANCER IN BATTLE FOR WIFE TO TO STAY IN COUNTRY ‘Murshida is caring for me during my treatment and if she has to go back to America my world will be destroyed’

EVERTON manager Carlo Ancelotti has already endeared himself to Blues fans and now he is seemingly taking in the local amenities in south Sefton after he was spotted in the Strand Shopping Centre!

The Italian was in the Bootle shopping centre last week when it prompted a surge of Everton fans to ask for selfie pictures.

Speaking to Jamie Carragher in his Telegraph column, Ancelotti said the Strand is “difficult to park, but full of Evertonians!”

Since he arrived in Merseyside last December, Ancelloti has been living in Crosby, and he has revealed how he is a big fan of Sir Antony Gormley’s Iron Men statues on Crosby beach.

He also talked about how he prefers the area to London, and how he has already found a “good Italian restaurant.”

He said: “I was at the beach on Monday. It is beautiful.

“I walked three miles and counted all the statues. There are at least 100.

“This part of England is different to London. It is more friendly.

“London is more cosmopolitan–there are a lot of Italians in London. Usually I stay in the centre of the city but I feel good here, and I have already found a good Italian restaurant.”

A MAN from Bootle who was diagnosed with cancer last November is fighting to keep his American wife in the country so she can care for him during treatment.

Kane Grosvenor, 28, met Murshida, 25, from Virginia, when they were both studying at Liverpool Hope University four years ago and since then they have been travelling between the two countries to spend time together.

They got married in March 2019 and the plan was for Kane, who worked at Santander, to move to the States to live with Murshida on a permanent basis.

However, Kane discovered a rash on his chest and in December last year he was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma and his health has quickly deteriorated.

He also suffers from a chronic pain condition known as fibromyalgia, so his condition means he is unable to travel to America. Murshida has travelled back to

Netherton to care for him, but her current six-month visa is due to expire and they are now desperately seeking legal advice to see if she can get a Spousal Visa to be able to remain in the UK for the next three years.

Kane told the Champion: “My wife does everything for me from making me food to taking me to appointments.

“I have radiation therapy and she helps me with that. She’s my rock and if she leaves, my world would be destroyed.

“She has been shunned from her family for marrying outside her faith so she would be homeless if she went back to America.

There is nothing for her there.

“My uncle is able to be her visa sponsor.

Murshida studied psychology and her dream is to help people and children who have been abused which she could do here when I get better.”

To add to the stress, the couple have been told legal fees could rise to more than £10,000 unless they can be waived, but even then a visa application would cost £1,500.

He said: “I thought because she was my wife she would have rights to stay in the country but this isn’t the case.

“It’s very expensive to apply for visas and we need to go through immigration lawyers who say it could cost £10,000. If we Continued inside

Report by Danielle Thompson RESIDENTS in Sefton are being urged to do what they can to stop the spread of coronavirus.

Sefton Council are working closely with Public Health England (PHE) and NHS partners to follow the national guidance issued by the Department of Health and Social Care.

They are asking residents to help prevent the spread of germs and infections by carrying out good hygiene practices.

Sefton Council leader Cllr Ian Maher said: “We are working hard to make sure our communities are resilient and informed enough to be able to cope should coronavirus come to the borough.

“We all have a part to play in preventing the spread of all infections, including coronavirus.

“You should always take steps to reduce the spread of germs by catching your sneezes in a tissue, binning used tissues, then washing your hands.

“We have strategic and operational groups in place and meeting regularly, with key partners round the table, to review the situation at all levels to ensure that we take the necessary steps to protect the health and wellbeing of people who live, work and visit the borough.”

Workplace advice Meanwhile, workplaces across the North West are being urged to look into how to handle an outbreak of the coronavirus.

The outbreak has sparked concerns around what rights someone has when it comes to sick leave or how employers should handle a situation at work if a staff member is affected by the virus.

The Advisory, Conciliation and Arbitration Service (ACAS) has published new advice to help employers and their staff understand their rights when it comes to handling the impact of coronavirus at work.

This includes tips on how to handle sick pay, staff in quarantine and staff who do not want to come into work due to fears over catching the coronavirus.

The advice also gives tips for employers if the virus spreads widely in the UK or if a business needs to shut temporarily.

A workplace’s usual sick pay policies apply if someone has coronavirus.

Employees should let their employer know as soon as possible if they are not able to go to work.

But if someone is not sick and their employer tells them not to come into work then they should get their usual pay.

For example, if someone has returned from an affected country since the virus outbreak and their employer asks them not to come in as a precaution.

The Government has stated that if NHS 111 or a doctor advises an employee or worker to self-isolate, they should receive statutory sick pay.

They advise employers to follow the Government’s advice as this can help to reduce the risk that a staff member may feel compelled to come into work and spread the virus if they have it.

Talent show set to raise money for defibrillators A COMMUNITY talent show will be held in Orrell Park in the hope of raising enough money to buy three defibrillators for the area.

Orrell Park’s Got Talent will take place on Thursday, April 9 at the Orrell Park Ballroom when locals will take to the stage to entertain an audience for a charitable cause.

It has been Sue Benson. organised by a group who want to place defibrillators around the area to boost survival hopes if anyone suffers heart problems.

The aim is to raise £5,500 which would buy at least three of the life-saving pieces of medical equipment, which would be placed in different locations around the local area.

Sue Benson, who has helped organise the event, is a nurse and NHS 111 Senior Clinical Call Handler.

She said: “I always strive to improve the health of those people I encounter. Working at NHS 111 alongside my 999 ambulance colleagues I am more aware and often think about what happens when someone collapses suddenly in the street.

“Often the outcome is not good for that person, whether an adult or child, because there are firstly no first aiders available or secondly there is no necessary essential equipment that might help them.

“So, I decided that this needs to change in our area! I have since brought together a group of residents from across our community to form the Walton Vale & Moss Lane Defibrillator Fundraising Group.

“There are 11 of us who run the group and we are speaking with local councillors to help us on occasions. We have tried to involve local organisations and churches as we very much see this a whole community event.

“Our aim is to raise £5,500 towards buying at least three defibrillators for the area. We are working with support from Oliver King Foundation and we will purchase the defibrillators from them.”

To audition for Orrell Park’s Got Talent, register in person at the Orrell Park Ballroom.

Tickets to the event cost £2.

School’s ski trip to Italy is axed over coronavirus fears Report by Tom Martin A SCHOOL in Crosby has cancelled a ski tip to northern Italy over Coronavirus fears.

The Champion reported last week how Chesterfield High School had informed parents that the trip for pupils was in doubt following concerns over the outbreak of Covid-19.

On Tuesday, March 10 headteacher Kevin Sexton confirmed it had been called off after the UK Foreign and Commonwealth Office advised against all but essential travel to northern Italy.

Italy is struggling to contain Europe’s worst outbreak of Covid19, which on Tuesday had claimed 463 lives and infected 9,172 people in the country.

More than 60 million people were placed under lockdown after the Italian government extended emergency measures across the entire country in an attempt to stop the spread.

Mr Sexton wrote to parents to inform them of the cancelled trip and also to reassure them that the money that they have already paid will be refunded.

A letter sent to parents, states: “Current advice from the Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) advises against all but essential travel to the following areas in northern Italy, due to an ongoing outbreak of coronavirus and various control and isolation measures imposed by the Italian authorities.

“As this affects the travel arrangements of the trip and for health and safety reasons we are taking the decision to cancel the ski trip.

“We can confirm that you will receive a full refund of all monies paid to date. It is an extremely disappointing outcome, but I would like to thank you for your patience and understanding during this difficult situation.

“We are looking into the possibility of arranging a ski trip for

Dance school forced to temporarily close after window smashed by yob

Man charged on allegation of committing sexual assault

‘More than 100 students are unable to come to class and that will affect my ability to pay the rent’ says teacher

Guilty plea over gun find in bathroom airing cupboard

Report by Tom Martin A DANCE school in Netherton had to temporarily close last week after a yob smashed the studio window and made it unsafe for children to attend their classes.

Shine Theatre School, in Marian Square, was targeted late at night on Thursday, March 5 by a “local youth” who kicked the glass so hard it resulted in a large crack.

When staff turned up for work the following day, it was decided to cancel classes as a safety precaution until it could be repaired.

Thankfully, Shine Theatre has now reopened and staff are hoping the police can catch whoever caused the damage.

Wendy Ehlen from Shine Theatre said at the time of the incident: “A local youth kicked our studio window with such force it has made an enormous crack in it, which spans the window from top to bottom.

“The window is currently too vulnerable to allow classes to continue. If it were leaned or kicked again it may collapse.

Charity wants to set up facility to give financial advice to women A CHARITY in Bootle wants to set-up a ‘money management shop’ for women to access financial support and advice.

Venus Charity, on Linacre Lane, has launched a £20,000 fundraising campaign to set up the facility in the local area to offer “all aspects of debt and money management.”

The Bootle charity was set-up 25 years ago to support women, young women and their children and they offer a wide range of services.

This new venture, which will focus on money advice, will be set-up as a ‘meanwhile shop’, which means they will occupy an empty unit during a short-term period until it can be brought back into commercial use.

A spokesperson for Venus said: “We are wanting to set up a community meanwhile money management shop for women to be able to access support, advice and guidance on all aspects of debt and money management Staff from Venus Charity “We aim for this to be a safe space where women can feel comfortable and We want to re-educate and empower for the next generation! confident in coming to us for advice “We have been working with the comand support, safe in the knowledge that they will leave feeling lighter at making munity for 25 years delivering support.

Youth banned from area ‘to remove him from gang culture’ 17-year-old first person in Merseyside to be given a Juvenile Gang Injunction’ Report by Tom Martin A YOUTH has been banned from entering large parts of south Sefton for an entire year after police decided to “remove him from gang culture.”

The 17-year-old, who can’t be named for legal reasons, is the first person to ever be given a ‘Juvenile Gang Injunction’ by Merseyside Police and he is no longer allowed to enter parts of Litherland, Bootle and Waterloo until February next year.

Officers have used the unusual measure because they fear he could be involved in gangs and become vulnerable to older criminals who would use him to “do their dirty work.”

The injunction also means he can’t associate with other named individuals.

This form of intervention was supported by the local authority and youth offending teams with the intention to “steer him away from gang-related activity.

Inspector David Uren said: “We know more established gang members seek young people who might be vulnerable to do their dirty work and we can’t let this continue.

“Therefore, gang injunctions are a great tool in preventing criminality in any given area and restricting the growth of gang networks.

“This is the first Juvenile Gang Injunction sought by Merseyside Police and I am pleased this young person has been removed from this gang culture and hopefully takes the opportunity to seek a more positive

The youth has been banned from large parts of south Sefton.

future.”

Within the last two years, Merseyside Police has successfully obtained gang injunctions against 29 people across eight different gangs.

A total of 13 of these have been breached, which relate to 40 separate breach proceedings, which has resulted in a combined 1,110 days of prison time.

A further 218 days of imprisonment are currently suspended against three gang members.

Inspector Uren added: “Being in a gang, causing crime and making others scared is wrong and I would encourage all members of the public to come forward with information on those involved in crime.

“I would also like to thank the public who continually work with us to provide us with information on those acting illegally and also thanks to the officers and support from our partner agencies.”

Mechanic scrapped customer ’s car by mistake A COURT was told that a mechanic had mistakenly scrapped a car belonging to a client who waited eight months for it to be returned before contacting police.

Nicholas James Houlston, 37, appeared at Sefton Magistrates Court on March 4 for sentencing after previously pleading guilty to theft of a Vauxhall Zafira.

Amanda York, prosecuting, said that a motorist had taken his car for repair to NJ Autos in June 2018. The garage, which has since closed down, was based on Bedford Road, Bootle.

Despite repeated requests, the car was never returned to the owner and after eight months of waiting he finally contacted police.

The court heard that officers discovered that the car had been scrapped at S Norton’s in Bootle in November 2018 for £291.

The prosecutor said the car’s owner had been assured by Houlston that the garage was still dealing with his car and that it would be returned even after it had been scrapped.

Reading from his victim impact statement, Miss York told of how dealing with Houlston had caused him “stress” as the months went by and he felt he was being continually misled.

Not only he had to buy another car in order to keep his job and also transfer his insurance, but he he started receiving letters from Seton Council because of where the car had been parked while it was in Houlston’s care The court heard that the civil matters with Sefton Council were resolved.

Solicitor Paul Kilty, representing Houlston, said he had shown an element of remorse.

Magistrates sentenced Houlston to 120 hours of unpaid work and to pay £800 in compensation to the victim for the loss of his car.

He was also sentenced to an additional 20 hours of unpaid work because he was supposed to have attended court the day before,

Dispersal zone imposed after yobs throw bricks at passing cars A DISPERSAL zone was used by police in Bootle this week after gangs of youths threw bricks at passing cars in Bootle.

Merseyside Police received a number of reports from local residents that “large groups” of yobs were throwing items at vehicles near North Park.

One man claims he was on a bus travelling past the park on Sunday, March 8 when a brick hit the window.

He said: “This happened to me. I had just dropped my The dispersal zone son off at home and in Bootle got the bus opposite North Park and a brick hit the window. Luckily it didn't go through.”

A dispersal zone was brought in by police on Monday, March 9 and remained in place until 4.30pm on Tuesday, March 10. It covered the North Park area, as well as the Strand Shopping Centre and Marsh Lane.

It means police were able to disperse groups of youths and ban them from entering the area or face getting arrested.

A spokesperson for Merseyside Police said: “There was a dispersal zone to deal with increased reports of anti-social behaviour. We have received numerous reports of large groups of youths riding bikes on the pavement and throwing items at passing vehicles.

Do you know where your teenagers are and what they're doing when they're out?”

Drug user given away by ‘aroma’

Kevin Duncalf.

Cocaine dealer who had lavish lifestyle is jailed for 16 years Report by Lynda Roughley A MAN from Crosby has been jailed for 16 years for his role in a “business-like operation” to supply drugs across four counties.

Kevin Duncalf, 35, of Vogan Avenue, was among 22 people who were sentenced to more than 100 years in prison at Leicester Crown Court on Thursday, February 27.

The court heard how police found footage on Duncalf ’s mobile phone showing how he lived a lavish lifestyle, including staying in hotels counting large sums of money on a cash counting machine.

When officers raided his Crosby home last summer, they recovered cash and designer clothing.

The 35-year-old supplied cocaine from Liverpool while he was wanted by another police force for unrelated matters.

The fact he was wanted didn’t deter him from continuing with his life of crime.

The investigation identified Ashley Boyd and Clint Jones, both from Leicester, as the brains behind the drugs plot, which covered Liverpool, Leicester, Nottinghamshire and Lincolnshire.

Boyd and Jones were part of an organised criminal network, dealing drugs and making money from the misery of drugs.

East Midlands Special Operations Unit (EMSOU) Detective Inspector Lee Hunt said: “Between them these individuals will now serve more than 100 years behind bars.

“The conviction and subsequent sentences show how seriously we and the courts take these crimes.

“These criminals were part of an organised network who operated not just in Leicestershire but Nottinghamshire, Lincolnshire and Liverpool.

“During the enforcement we executed more than 50 warrants across those counties and cities.

“This was a significant operation for us but our work doesn’t end here.

“We know there is always someone waiting to fill the gap left by others and we will continue in our efforts to stop the misuse of drugs and carry out further operations of the nature to disrupt the criminal activity.”

Duncalf was found guilty of conspiracy to supply Class A drugs and was sentenced to 16 years in prison.

This sentence will commence after he has served two years of a four year sentence for a previous conviction.

That conviction related to conspiracy to supply class A drugs (MDMA) and class B drugs (cannabis).

A MAN from Bootle was caught with cannabis after a police officer detected the aroma of it on his clothes.

Anthony Owens, 38, of Oriel Road, pleaded guilty to possession of the class B drug when he appeared at Sefton Magistrates Court on March 4.

He was found with the drug on December 28 of last year after Merseyside Police had cause to speak to the defendant, and an officer “detected the aroma of cannabis emanating from him.”

The court heard he had four like offences on his record, the last being from August of last year.

Solicitor Rachel Worthington said that since his arrest for the latest offence he had referred himself to drug support agency Ambition Sefton for help.

She said he had been smoking cannabis to help him sleep.

The magistrates fined him £80 with £117 in costs.

John Stone with the 'death trap' taxi

Councils across Liverpool City Region exposed for issuing licenses to taxis fitted with ‘illegal and unsafe’ tyres Report by Danielle Thompson SEFTON Council is one of four local authorities in the Liverpool City Region who have been exposed for issuing licenses for taxis fitted with illegal, unmarked and unsafe part-worn tyres.

Sefton, Liverpool, St Helens and Wirral councilapproved test centres passed the vehicles, despite the risk to passengers The recent report found that 34% of all part worn tyres are sold with dangerous, potentially life threatening defects while 98% are sold into the marketplace illegally.

John Stone, owner of Stone Tyres, who are a full National Tyre Distributors Association (NTDA) member, and founder of the Independent Tyre Fitters Alliance, purchased a Skoda Octavia and fitted it with four illegal, part-worn tyres and submitted the vehicle to the four council-approved test centres for a taxi compliance test.

Each council’s approved test centre passed the

vehicle as safe, despite part worn tyres dating from 1999, 2001 and 2003 being fitted on the taxi. To make matters worse, the fourth tyre was an illegal part worn winter tyre, imported from Germany 10 years ago. No tyres were marked ‘Part Worn’, as they should be by law.

John Stone said: “This lack of care from our local councils is appalling and raises serious questions over taxi passenger safety in the North West and indeed across the United Kingdom.

The NTDA, which represents national and independent tyre distributors across the UK, recently reiterated its call for an outright ban on part worn tyres due to safety concerns.

John has set up a website and petition to ban part worn tyres at banpartworntyre.net A spokesperson for Sefton Council said: “The safety of the travelling public is our priory and the issue highlighted is extremely important to us.

“Whilst we acknowledge that it is difficult to identify a ‘part worn tyre’ that has not been labelled, going forward we will be working with our testing stations to review our licence conditions in relation to tyres.”

Town council only Library visit made me realise Traffic lights are mows the grass that they must have a future out of sequence Once again we approach the time for Community Charge bills.

And again we will have an increase of the maximum allowed.

In Maghull we will once again have the highest precept in Sefton but why?

The floral displays are done by volunteers, and the litter is cleared by volunteers.

The council tell us they support us in defending our greenbelt then allow over four thousand homes to be built on greenbelt.

This is the same council who told us they would save our ambulance station, our police station and our youth centre - all long gone.

They have given us a radio station and they occasionally mow the grass in the parks.

Worried community charge payer, Maghull

I am not in the habit of writing to local newspapers, but a recent excellent experience at Crosby Library prompted me to write!

I work as an activity coordinator in a local nursing home and, as a result of initiating a reading group, have recently had the pleasure of working with Crosby Library, not having visited for a decade!

Hence prompted to write to the Champion recognise and applaud the staff and service.

They have issued my residents with tickets and provide a selection and pick-up service for us.

Recently, instead of relying on their volunteers, I spent an exceptionally pleasurable couple of hours choosing books for my lovely residents.

What a fabulous experience to rediscover the joy of browsing amidst books and reading snippets to myself, sitting in one of the many chairs and simply enjoying the sensation of turning the pages.

I am an avid reader, but am guilty of accessing a

range of technologies to provide my reading material, but my experience has confirmed that libraries must be the thing of the future not the past.

The staff are so polite and helpful that it was a joy to visit.

The senior library assistant makes you feel nothing is too much trouble, he has set up our initiative with great efficiency and positivity, While choosing books for others, trying to match them to their tastes and personalities, I was taken back to why I love books and thankful that I have the time to read them.

I hope my experience inspires anybody out there that is glued to a screen to take a moment out of the chaos of life and visit a library, with your kids, dad, your gran, or just by yourself!

I drive in all areas of Sefton, mainly Crosby, Netherton and every day there are two sets of traffic lights that are badly out of sequence.

They allow traffic to be backed up for some distance, while allowing traffic coming from side roads etc get more time.

This allows the little traffic from the side roads to hold the main stream of traffic polluting these areas unnecessarily just because the lights are set wrong.

The two main hold-ups are Crosby Road at the South Road junction.

The second is the newly reshaping of Edge Lane at Buckley Hill.

These need to be reset to accommodate the main stream of traffic getting more time to go through. It is bad traffic management.

Feeding a hungry child is the perfect Mother’s Day gift This Mother’s Day, I am thinking about everything women do to give their children the best start in life.

Like the women in countries such as Malawi, Liberia and India, who rise early each day to cook and serve food to hungry children in their communities with the charity Mary’s Meals.

Their dedication epitomises powerful motherly love.

And it is thanks to them that Mary’s Meals is able to feed 1.6 million hungry children around the world every school day.

The food they lovingly serve attracts little ones into the classroom, giving them the energy to gain an education that can, one day, be their ladder out of poverty.

I am in awe of these incredible women.

And that’s why I am asking your readers to send a Mary’s Meals gift card to the special women in their lives this Mother’s Day. For just £15.90, it will feed a hungry child every day for an entire school year.

Please visit marysmeals.org.uk/mothersday to purchase your gift card in honour of the mums who make Mary’s Meals I have already told my boys this is a gift I would be delighted to receive!

It’s not much of a recycling centre!

Thank you for handing in wallet

Footballers need to stop spitting

Just been to Sefton Meadows Household Waste Recycling Centre after a clear out at home.

The clothes bank has gone, the shoe bank has gone and on asking a worker where I should deposit about 1,000 carrier bags I had accumulated, he told me to put them in with the ‘non recyleable’ waste.

I couldn’t believe my ears.

No wonder we don’t hit our recycle targets.

If possible I would just like to thank a lovely couple who found and handed back my wallet early on Saturday morning after I had lost it in Crosby village near to the Greg’s bakery shop.

It was a very honest and lovely thing to do, and it was much appreciated.

Thank you!

It seems the FA are to issue a warning to all football teams not to shake hands as this could encourage the spread of the coronavirus and other germs and diseases.

When are they ever going to issue a warning to players to stop spitting and clearing their noses onto the grass and the sliding on their knees and skidding over this mucus when ever they score a goal.

A bad day to be stuck indoors waiting for the phone to ring Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m sitting here with the sun blazing through the window and not a cloud to be seen.

The perfect morning in fact for taking dogs Tina and Cinders for a proper walk - or even, being Thursday, for taking the bus to Ormskirk and having a good look around the market - which I havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been able properly to do for weeks because gale force winds and rain has forced most of the putative stall holders to very sensibly stay at home.

And yet, as I have said, I am instead sitting here dutifully trying to think of a decent â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Dogâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; to do.

And itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all because yesterday evening I rashly told a friend that â&#x20AC;&#x153;oh yes, of course I will be in tomorrow morningâ&#x20AC;? so that he could phone me to make arrangements for a rather important meeting with him (and he would buy me lunch as well!).

I said this without thinking because I have become so used to living in the shadow of â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Storm this or thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; that I really did not expect this marvellous weather.

He promised heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d give me a ring this morning but neglected to say which part of the morning he was referring to.

Well, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 10.35 at the moment and the phone remains stubbornly silent.

And since â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;this morningâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; still has 90 minutes to go I suppose I cannot phone him without seeming rather rude. Bummer!

Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll give him 'till noon and then try to contact him - much later than that and it will be too late to get a bus to Ormskirk, and get back home again in time to prepare my evening meal at 5pm.

Having listened to a radio programme about healthy eating Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been trying to push this forward.

Mind you, the same nutritionist expert also cast doubts on that old chestnut that breakfast is the most important meal of the day - indeed she thought some people would probably be better off doing without it.

Now ever since I left the family home when I was just 19, I stopped having breakfast as such (when I was living in a bedsit I often gulped down a pint of milk - you might remember the slogan â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Drinka Pinta Milka Dayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; - which these days would of course be frowned upon (it was full fat of course).

For many years indeed I had breakfast only when on holiday or travelling for work (a full English if in a hotel and ditto when my late brother George and I bought out motor cruiser, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Manxmanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;) Then, about eight years back I was persuaded by the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;expertsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; that breakfast was a â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;mustâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; and since then have had my dose of porridge every day.

The only cloud on this horizon seemed to be that I still stuck with using only full fat milk - now I am being told that I am probably wasting my time with breaky anyhow.

And hey - itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s now 11am and still the blasted phone doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t ring.

I keep telling myself not to take any notice of, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;expertâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; foodie advice. OK, the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;five a dayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; does seem a good idea but for I am increasingly of the opinion that you should eat when you feel like it.

Perhaps your body actually knows best.

My granny thought the foods best for you were such now no-noâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s such as butter, and cream. But then she took for granted fresh fruit in season (she grew a lot of it herself) and fresh vegetables too.

Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d have given you short shrift though if you tried to tell her that beef or lamb or for that batter eggs and bacon, were bad for you.

Now folk of granny's generation did not have as long a life expectancy as we enjoy today - but I rather think this is far more due to vast advances in medicine rather than taking to veggie burgers and bottled water.

Right, well itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 11.10am now and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve completed this 'Dog'.

Rude or not, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have a quick coffee (with milk and sugar) and then phone my recalcitrant chum.

Sharon Thompson from Southport, together with her Husband Neil, are launching a new annual event full of live entertainment featuring Merseyside bands and an auction to raise much needed funds for Dementia UK. Sharon’s mum, Gladys has lived with vascular dementia for 9 years Sharon & her Mum Gladys and is now in her final stages of the condition. It’s a heartbreaking time for the family not least a very difficult time for Gladys. So they’ve decided to do something positive and arrange this special event and raise much needed funds for Dementia UK. With great local bands Pigshoes, The Left Backs and The Extras, it’s planned to be a night to remember. Great support has been given in way of specially signed merchandise from The Undertones, The Skids, Buzzcocks, Hugh Cornwell, Dr. John Cooper Clarke, Hazel O’Connor, Stereophonics and Elvis Costello. These items will all be auctioned on the night together with a signed Everton football donated by Everton FC. Hangar 34 is an amazing venue with a capacity of 500 people and they intend to pack it out.

With 850,000 people living with dementia in the UK today, Dementia UK offers a huge amount of help, support and advice to families going through the dementia journey. The proceeds from the night will help towards funding Admiral Nurses who offer incredible support to families dealing with Dementia.

Locals gather on Crosby beach, alongside the Iron Men statues, to see off the warship as it sails past the coastline. Picture by Ron Davies

Locals gather on beach to see off HMS Prince of Wales LOCALS gathered on the Sefton coastline to wave goodbye to HMS Prince of Wales as the huge warship left Liverpool.

The Royal Navy’s new aircraft carrier, which is the length of three football pitches and weighs 65,000 tonnes, docked in the city on Friday, February 28 for a week-long stay.

On Friday, March 6 the ship departed and could be seen travelling past the Sefton coastline to provide a chance to take some

stunning images, such as the one above by photographer Ron Davies.

Ron said: “As the aircraft carrier sailed out of the Mersey it was watched by many people who had travelled down to the beaches at Waterloo and Crosby just to wave her off.

“The setting sun sparkled on the water and it was a lovely evening for a send off. When I posted the picture on Twitter it seemed to bring an amazing response.”

Public meetings to discuss future of former church LOCALS can have a say on the future of a closed-down Blundellsands church.

Two public meetings will be held so people can give feedback on the future of the

former Blundellsands United Reformed Church, on Warren Road.

The first will be held on Thursday, April 2 from 7.309pm and then Friday, April 3

from 10.30am–midday.

The meetings will be held in the church and locals will be able to give their ideas on how the building could be used by the community.

Charity volunteers are given special training to support domestic abuse victims Report by Kenny Parker STAFF at YMCA Liverpool and Sefton have been given specialist training to support victims of domestic abuse.

A Domestic Abuse Workplace Scheme training course was held for 15 staff from the charity so they could become ‘Champions’ in offering expert advice.

The training was offered by Merseyside Police Commissioner Jane Kennedy to help employees in a workplace who are affected by domestic abuse.

Among the staff who volunteered to take the training were YMCA Liverpool and Sefton’s hostel managers, refuge staff, mental health workers and support staff.

Police Commissioner Kennedy said: “I’m delighted that YMCA Liverpool and Sefton have so enthusiastically engaged with this scheme.

“By putting forward 15 fantastic volunteers to take this training, they have demonstrated a huge commitment to their staff’s wellbeing and welfare and to tackling domestic abuse.

“The British Crime Survey estimates that one in four women and one in eight men will experience domestic abuse in their lifetime. Given the nature of the work carried out by YMCA Liverpool and Sefton supporting and caring for people who are potentially vulnerable and may have complex needs, their staff are more likely than most to work with men and women who are at risk of domestic abuse.

“I hope this training gives them the knowledge, skills and confidence to listen and provide a safe response and effective support to anyone who may be in need.

“As a social housing provider, the YMCA are also in a crucial position to provide a safe place for people to talk about their situation, make

Merseyside Police Commissioner Jane Kennedy

sense of it and gather information to make an informed decision about what they want to do.

“That means their staff can play a hugely important role in helping to support someone who may be suffering and even help them to break free from an abusive, controlling or potentially violent relationship.”

In April 2017 YMCA Sefton merged with YMCA Liverpool so the organisation could ‘thrive through difficult financial times.’

Ellie McNeil, CEO of YMCA Liverpool & Sefton said: “We are really pleased to work with the Merseyside Domestic Abuse Workplace Scheme.

“We seek to ensure that YMCA is a place of safety not just for the people who use our services but also for our staff and volunteers and our team of workplace Champions will use their training to help us do that.

“We see the impact of domestic abuse on a daily basis and we understand just how much the Workplace scheme is needed.”

DRAW US A PICTURE OF YOUR MUM FOR MOTHERS DAY Healthwatch Sefton volunteers for their local areas on a visit to Litherland Town Hall walk-in centre last year

Would you volunteer to ‘make a difference’ in your community?

THE team at an independent health consumer champion are offering ‘exciting volunteering opportunities’ for those ‘wanting to make a positive difference to local health and social care services.’

Healthwatch Sefton are looking for people who love talking with others in their community about using health and care services and wants to hear from those interested in improving those services now and for the future.

As a volunteer representing Healthwatch Sefton, you would be acting as a point of contact for residents living in your local area; letting Healthwatch Sefton know of any issues local residents have when using health and social care services; and supporting Healthwatch Sefton with engagement activities.

Among other specific duties, the volunteers are expected to attend steering group and community champion network meetings, promote Healthwatch Sefton’s aims and objectives and to help build effective relationships.

Diane Blair, manager of Healthwatch Sefton, explained: “We are really pleased to offer these volunteering opportunities and look forward to meeting those with an interest in making sure the voices of people in their local area are heard by those delivering health and care services.”

The closing date for people interested in these roles is Monday, March 30.

To find out more visit healthwatchsefton.co.uk, email info@healthwatchsefton.co.uk, or call 0151 920 0726 (ext 240).

Sheridan Smith to reprise Cilla Black role for new musical

SHERIDAN Smith will revisit her award-wining portrayal of the late Cilla Black to star in a new musical.

The actress, who portrayed the entertainer in an ITV series in 2014, will reprise the role in Bill Kenwright’s stage production, Cilla The Musical, written by BAFTA award-winning writer Jeff Pope.

The musical will open at the Liverpool Empire for a four week residency from September 23, ahead of a UK tour to Aylesbury, Edinburgh, Birmingham and Leeds.

Tickets are on sale now.

Sheridan wowed fans and critics alike with her portrayal of Cilla Black in Jeff Pope’s BAFTA awardwinning ITV series.

It won Sheridan both a 2015 National TV Award and a 2015 TV Choice Award, and went on to see her nominated for a BAFTA (2015) and a second international EMMY Award (2015).

Cilla The Musical is a spectacular and heart-warming musical adaptation of the TV series. The 2017 debut tour was met with five-star reviews and standing ovations up and down the UK and was nominated Best N ew Musical in the WhatsOnStage Awards.

The story follows the extraordinary life of an ordinary teenage girl from Liverpool, Priscilla White, and her rocky, yet incredible, rise to fame. By the age of just 25 she was recognized as international singing star Cilla Black.

By 30 she had become Britain’s favorite television entertainer headlining series of Blind Date, Surprise Surprise and many more.

Sheridan Smith played Cilla Black (inset) for a television series in 2014

The musical score features the ultimate soundtrack to the 60’s including Cilla’s greatest hits Anyone Who Had a Heart, Alfie and Something Tells Me, alongside a backdrop of the legendary “Liverpool Sound”.

After Sheridan started a career in such sitcoms as The Royle Family, Two Pints of Lager, Gavin & Stacey and Benidorm, she starred in Jonathan Creek (2013) and went on to receive acclaim for a succession of television dramas such as Mrs Biggs (2012), Cilla (2014), The C Word (2015), Black Work (2015) and The Moorside

(2017). Sheridan was named Best Actress at the 2013 BAFTA TV Awards for Mrs. Biggs.

Theatre credits include her first Olivier Award nomination for Little Shop of Horrors at the Menier Chocolate Factory and her first Olivier Award and WhatsOnStage Award for her role as Elle Woods in Legally Blonde. Following this, she won an Olivier Award and an Evening Standard Theatre Award for her role of Doris in Flare Path. Ibsen’s Hedda Gabler at The Old Vic gave her another WhatsOnStage Best Actress Award. She also enjoyed a hugely celebrated run in the West End as Fanny Bryce in Funny Girl.

Folk group make welcome return to Liverpool after six year absence Review by Henry James THE Irish folk group Clannad returned to Liverpool and the Philharmonic on Sunday, March 8 as part of their farewell In A Lifetime tour.

This gig was their first time back in the city since 2014, and was a celebration of their 50 year recording career.

They started the evening with songs from their 1973 first album (Clannad), such as An Mhaighdean Mhara, which illustrated the beauty and ethereal quality of lead singer Moya Brennan’s vocals.

Among the highlights of the early part of the even-

Clannad performing on stage

ing was the band’s playing of the instrumental numbers, Eleanor Plunkett, and Fairly Shot of Her from the second album – Clannad 2.

They played N ewgrange and the environmental number, Thios Fan Chosta.

The first half ended with a medley of songs from their album, Legend, which was the soundtrack from the 1980s TV programme, Robin of Sherwood.

Moya, who played the harp, was joined on stage

by her brothers, Pól Brennan, on the flute, and Ciarán Brennan, on the cello. Noel Duggan was on the guitar, and Ged Lynch was fantastic on the drums.

Moya’s daughter, Aisling Jarvis, duetted with her mother on In A Lifetime at the start of their second set. Moya had sung with Bono on the original.

The group finished strongly with I Will Find You, Closer To Your Heart and the theme from Harry’s Game. The evening ended with an extended version of Dulaman.

Clannad returned with an encore, now well after 10.30pm, with Down By the Sally Gardens and Teir Abhaile. 9/10

A TINY, three-door hatchback with a launch price that matches an Audi A4’s? Weirdly, Fiat might be onto something.

This week should have been the new 500’s starring role at the Geneva Motor Show but – as anyone who read this column last week will already know – the Coronavirus outbreak has scotched all of its maker’s carefully-baked plans. So Fiat went to Milan to launch it instead, just before the entire region was locked down by the authorities.

Once you take out all of the unfortunate circumstances you’re left with what I reckon could shape up to be one of the year’s smartest new arrivals; the new Fiat 500 looks barely any different to the untrained eye but 2020’s all-new model is electriconly.

I hope my younger sister, who’s just about to take delivery of a Renault Zoe, isn’t reading this week’s Champion, because I suspect the 500’s about to knock the French contender’s lights out.

500s are, by and large, owned by people who a) want their car to look good and b) don’t tend to go on weekly trips to see their distant aunt in Aberdeen. The new Fiat’s got the first one licked because they’ve managed to tweak the old car’s looks just enough to keep them interesting, but for most of the 500’s old fans the claimed 199-mile range between charges should be enough. When was the last time you did 200 miles in a single hit? Exactly.

I don’t even think the initial £29k asking price is going to put many would-be electric car owners off, seeing as Fiat freely admits it’s launching it in range-topping spec first. That means in all likelihood most 500s are going to cost about the same as the £25,670 that an entry-level Zoe, with the same sort of range, costs. It’s also not a million miles off what people were prepared to pay for the old petrol-powered 500 with the right trim and engines – fashion sells, and all that.

But for me, the thing that I reckon will woo a lot of electric car fans into a 500 are the clever little design details. The seat moquette that actually reads ‘FIAT’ in its stitching is particularly neat, as is the way the last digit on the car’s bootlid has been shaped to look like an ‘e’, just in case you forget what it runs on.

In a troubled car market where small cars make less and less financial sense, I reckon Fiat deserves to be applauded for reinventing its big-seller for the electric age.

Not that I’d buy it – at least in its current form, anyway. I can only assume there’s a hot hatch Abarth version on the way…

Bucks’ promotion bid back on track Bootle 3 Irlam 0 BOOTLE got their promotion bid back on track on Saturday, writes ConnorO’Neill.

The month of February was one to forget for Joe Doran’s side, with them losing three of the four league games they played in the month.

But after overcoming Skelmersdale United in the Liverpool Senior Cup on Tuesday, the Bucks picked up where they left off against Michael Dodd's side on Saturday afternoon.

The Bucks opened the scoring on 14 minutes when Michael Carberry and Ben Hodkinson combined down the left before the latter crossed for Connor Millington who scuffed an effort into the bottom of the net from the edge of the box.

The rest of the half was a rather dull affair, with both sides lacking any real quality and clear-cut

chances hard to come by.

And after the opening five minutes of the second half brought more of the same, Doran opted to change things with James Hooper replacing John Connolly.

A minute later and Doran's substitution had the desired effect with Hooper doubling his side's lead.

The former Airbus man raced on to Liam Loughlin's through ball before coolly lifting the ball over the head of Lee White in the Irlam goal and into the empty net from an acute angle.

Further chances followed for Doran's side with Rob Doran, Hodkinson, and Hooper all seeing efforts saved by White, but four minutes from time and the Bucks would add a third.

Man of the Match Carberry advanced into the box before crossing for Doran who had the easiest of finishes from four yards out.

Remyca out of luck in five goal thriller Longridge Town 3 Litherland Remyca 2 LITHERLAND Remyca lost a five goal thriller despite putting in a spirited performance against a strong Longridge Town side.

Goals from Jon-Jo Morris, Rhys Turner and Andrew Howarth were enough for the home side to grab the win, although two goals from defender David Crist caused them plenty of problems on the day.

The result leaves Remyca 19th in the table and one point above the relegation zone.

Remyca came flying out of the blocks and were 1-0 up on three minutes. A foul on James Law on the wing, led to a free kick being whipped in perfectly by Alex Ryan for Crist to side foot home from six yards.

Crist then went from hero to villain in the space of two minutes, when Longridge's forward went through on goal and a rash chal-

lenge from the centre back saw the ref point to the spot and the kick was rifled home.

On 14 minutes, Remyca were 2-1 behind when they were caught napping after a short corner when the ball skimmed off the top of Will Doherty’s head and into the the goal.

Remyca started the second half well and on 62 minutes a looping cross from Ryan was headed home

by Crist for his second of the game.

The defender was on for a hattrick after making himself a nuisance in the opposition box throughout the day.

Litherland piled on the pressure but Longridge regained the lead on 67 minutes, when Howarth broke away and slotted home.

With 20 minutes to go Remyca nearly levelled again, but George Donnelly could only hit the side netting.

Remyca have another tough away game on Saturday at Charnock Richard.

Niall Cummins heads home for Marine. Picture by Susan Nugent.

Cummins heads home to seal win

Marine 1 Tadcaster Albion 0 MARINE captain Niall Cummins scored the only goal of a tense match against fellow promotion-hopefuls Tadcaster Albion, writes Tom Clarke.

The hosts began the game on the front foot, George Hassall almost opening the scoring after just three minutes but for a last-ditch clearance from Jack Vann.

After a tight first half-hour with limited goalmouth action, the game sprang into life on 34 minutes after Marine captain

Niall Cummins nodded in a Mark Howarth corner.

Marine began to assert their dominance on the game up until half-time, Cummins coming close to doubling his side’s lead but striking the post from close range.

Liverpool loanee Dan Atherton was called into action in goal on several occasions in the second half, making saves from Albion's Jake Day and substitute Damien Reeves.

Tadcaster defender Borinji-Mbeke Lebrun had to make a clearance off the line in the last ten minutes after another

Howarth corner to keep the visitors in the game.

Lebrun had a chance to steal a point at the other end late on, but for another Atherton save. The keeper then made a match-winning save with virtually the last kick of the game, showing fast reflexes to deny Reeves from a corner.

The win means Marine remain level on points with Ramsbottom United but behind on goal difference in third.

N eil Young's men face Ramsbottom at home this Saturday in what is another crucial fixture in their push for promotion.

Richardson scores all four for Maghull Ellesmere Port Town 1 Maghull 4 RETURNING to West Cheshire League First Division action last Saturday

after a month’s lay off due to postponements, Maghull produced a fine display.

Prolific goalscorer Jordan Richardson helped himself to all four goals for Joe Burns’ side but the man of

the match award went to Matty McHale for his all round display.

Maghull Reserves were narrowly beaten by league leaders Prescot Cables Maghull are away at

Chester Nomads on Saturday while the Reserves travel to South Liverpool where they will play Cheshire Lines in a Second Division contest. Both matches kick off at 3pm.

Firwood Waterloo secure win in scrappy contest Firwood Waterloo 32 Warrington 10 After a three week break, Firwood Waterloo returned to competitive action and secured a valuable win against a strong Warrington side..

It was an error-strewn game which offered little as a spectacle for the vocal home crowd.

“It was entertaining for all the wrong reasons,” commented one loyal supporter, referring to the many handling errors. The players were not helped by the squally conditions, but the win keeps the Merseysiders in second place, five points behind the leaders Burnage. The boys from Blundellsands head a chasing pack with only five points separating second from seventh with their destiny still in their own hands.

‘Loo took an early lead after a strong run by scrum half Luke Clifford for the first try. This was quickly followed up with a penalty from

Daragh O’Brien. Clifford made further breaks through the Warrington lines to keep the pressure on their defence and was rewarded with his second try after an earlier effort had been disallowed for a forward pass.

Both sides appeared to show some match rustiness with numerous disruptions to play for handling errors. They tried to play an expansive game but the conditions suggested that it was a day to keep tight possession and make steady progress up the field. The home side made the better of the conditions to secure a third try under the posts following a wind-assisted run of some 40 metres by captain Jack Weare.

Towards the end of the half, Warrington showed more of their attacking intent through their powerful forwards, scoring a try out wide.

The hosts led at half time by 20 – 5.

The second half continued with phases of interrupted play, Warrington manging to add

Clare House, 166 Lord Street, Southport PR9 0QA

their second try. This energised ‘Loo and their increased tempo led to the bonus point try by full back Dom Coe. There were some moments of good play – excellent running lines by Lee Ferrier and Josh Jenkins, Daragh O’Brien streaking up the field breaking many tackles and an outrageous dummy by Kurt Riley.

But in truth, the game was largely an opportunity to help both sides return to match fitness.

As Warrington tired, ‘Loo added a fifth try by winger Lee Ferrier with O’Brien bringing proceedings to a close kicking a difficult conversion from the touchline.

The game was a very welcome return to the team for Joe Bowmer after a serious elbow injury earlier in the year.

He said: “Having played half a game for the seconds and coming through some testing training sessions, it was good to join the lads

01704 392 392

again. They gave us a good battle, especially in the second half. And I didn’t give the injury a second thought.”

Coach and midfield general Alex Ward was pleased to secure the bonus point win commenting, “We won ugly due to some ringrustiness which was understandable as we had only had one field session in three weeks.

“We can’t always be at our fluent best, but we can always be better and I’ll take the five point win.”

Whilst pleased with the current league position, he is very aware of the competitiveness of the other teams in the six remaining fixtures.

Next week, Firwood Waterloo make the 43 mile trip to Bowdon who had a close win over local rivals Wilmslow. Nothing can be taken for granted in this intriguing league and the boys in myrtle would welcome a large contingent of supporters to cheer them on.
