It’s time to learn all about science, kids!

BOOTLE pupils - and their teachers - have been enjoying some action-packed lessons to celebrate British Science Week.

Youngsters from Hillside High School were tasked with learning about this year’s theme ‘Journeys’ and they discovered more about Charles Darwin and his theory of evolution through natural selection.

To help youngsters learn, they were paid a visit by an inflatable dinosaur, the name of which they had to guess, and also a reallife reptile in the form of a lizard.

They also carried out research into endangered and extinct organisms, did DNA extractions along with fun problem-solving activities.

British Science Week is a ten-day celebration of science, technology, engineering Up close with a lizard during science week and maths.

PLANS UNVEILED TO TRANSFORM EYESORE BUILDING AN ‘eyesore’ building in the town which has been a blight on a busy street for more than a decade, could finally be transformed into a restaurant, cafe, retail shop and apartments under plans submitted to Sefton Council.

A planning application has been put forward to change 18-20 Hawthorne Road, which used to be a gym before it closed down, into a new ‘mixed-use’ building.

The local authority is set to make a decision on the proposal at a Planning Committee held today (Wednesday, March 27), with it likely to be given the go-ahead.

The current state of the property has been described by locals as an eyesore, with even Sefton Council labelling it

Report by Tom Martin ‘dilapidated’ with it being empty for more than a decade.

The building stands on a prominent position on the corner of the busy Hawthorne Road and Ursula Street, and it also neighbours a number of other shops.

The planning application states: “The site is vacant. It previously comprised a mix of uses, including a gymnasium within the retail unit at ground floor level, which has granted planning consent since October 1985. The gym no longer occupies the ground floor unit.

AN anti-burglary initiative held across Merseyside has been hailed a ‘huge success’ one year after it was launched.

Merseyside Police's Operation Castle was created in response to community concerns around burglaries.

Since March 2018, the force has seen a 24% reduction in offences, an increase in intelligence resulting in over 1300 people being arrested for burglary and convicted offenders receiving sentences totalling over 137 years.

The primary focus of the Operation Castle team, which is made up of officers and staff from different departments, is to reduce the number of burglary offences, raise community confidence and encourage reporting, whilst supporting existing local policing officers.

One example of a high-profile case was that of Dale Kelly, 24, and Lewis Callaghan, 21, who were jailed for a total of 10 years and eight months for two burglaries committed on June 5, 2018.

They were spotted by a member of the public acting suspiciously at an address in Freshfield and were detained by officers with a number of stolen items including cufflinks, watches, a camera and Xbox games, all of which were returned to their owners.

Head of local policing, Chief Superintendent Matt Boyle said: “Over a year ago, the public came to us, voicing their concerns about burglary and how being a victim can cause both emotional upset and financial strain.

“With that in mind, we invested in the #OpCastle team who are there to support frontline officers and

local policing teams in their fight against crime, in particular residential burglaries. One year on, we’ve seen a huge improvement in not only community confidence but also the number of offences successfully investigated and offenders brought to justice.

“Your home is your castle and we believe everyone has the right to feel safe and secure wherever they live or work.

“We’ll actively continue with the operation and hope to see more and more of these successes.

Anyone that may have information on burglary is asked to contact our dedicated hotline on 0151 777 7926 or email operation.castle@merseyside.pnn. police.uk. You can also pass information to the social media desk @MerPolCC, call 101 or you can call @CrimestoppersUK on 0800 555 111.”

Bootle-based firm launches recruitment drive for apprentices

A BOOTLE-BASED firm has launched a recruitment drive as they look to hire 15 apprentices.

As a result of the new intake, the Sovini Group, on Dunningsbridge Road, will have 50 apprentices employed across the company by September.

The current vacancies range from a Bilingual Housing Apprentice with Pine Court Housing Association, to a Warehouse Apprentice based at Sovini Trade Supplies’ Ellesmere Port branch.

The recruitment drive by Sovini has been backed by both the Metro Mayor of Liverpool City Region Steve Rotheram and Mayor of Liverpool Joe Anderson.

Mr Rotheram said: “Increasing the number and range of apprenticeships available across our city region is vital, both to enable individuals to fulfil their potential and to ensure our businesses have the skills they need to succeed.

“It is really good news that The Sovini Group will now be employing

50 apprentices and I hope more of our businesses follow their example.”

Mayor of Liverpool Joe Anderson said: “Apprenticeships play an important role in the Liverpool City Region.

They provide a real in-road into the world of work for young people in our city, giving them the on-the-job training and experience they need in today ’s ever-competitive jobs and careers market.

“Liverpool City Council is a firm supporter of the apprenticeship system

and we have our own successful scheme in place. It’s great to see companies like The Sovini Group doing such great work in providing real hope for our young people for the future.”

Roy Williams, The Sovini Group CEO, said: “As we continue to grow it is essential we invest in our future, as this will not only benefit our organisation, but it will have wider benefits for the communities where we operate.”

For a full list of vacancies visit the website:https://sovini.co.uk/careers/

‘Eyesore building to be brought back to life if plans get the go-ahead From page 1 The upper floors comprise residential accommodation albeit this remains vacant.

The site currently sits boarded up, with a number of windows in the upper floors missing “The development will bring the ground floor units back into use, adding to the established cluster of shops and local amenities and further animate the frontages on this terrace, states the report.

This will enhance the immediate area and contribute to the perception of a ‘safer and more secure environment’.

Although the council has concerns over a lack of ‘outdoor

space’, the application is likely to go-ahead.

A report published ahead of the Planning Committee meeting states: “The main issues to consider are the principle of development, matters relating to residential amenity, design, access and highway safety.

“The property is understood to have remained vacant for at least a decade; its dilapidated appearance is a local eyesore. The redevelopment of the building is very much supported in that respect.

“The benefit of bringing a prominent vacant building back into use is considered to outweigh the shortfall in outdoor space.”

The proposed flats

Flats scheme for former car park A DERELICT patch of land in Bootle could see the arrival of five three storey buildings made up of flats.

The land, which is located behind 5862 Balliol Road, used to be a parking/garden facility for the adjacent HMOs (Houses in Multiple Occupancy) but it has now been targeted by developers who want to create more residential properties in the area.

Sefton Council is yet to make a decision on the proposal.

The planning application put forward to the local authority states: “The site is a substantial rectangular plot of land enclosed with walls to the rear and side boundaries. The site was formally the extended garden areas and additional parking for the two HMOs fronting Balliol Road.

“It was considered that the design was appropriate to its location and would enhance the character of the area. The proposal has been designed with all

Young photographers show off best of town in Strand exhibition PHOTOGRAPHY students have been showing off their work in a pop up exhibition in the Strand to capture the best of the town.

The undergraduates are in the first year of a Foundation Degree in Digital Imaging and Photography at the Hugh Baird University Centre, and the exhibition formed part of their Experimental Photographic Practice module.

Thanks to the University Centre’s ongoing partnership with the Open Eye Gallery, the undergraduates were

supported on the project with firsthand advice from an industry professional. Photographer, Phoebe Keily, joined the University Centre undergraduates on a ‘photographic walk and talk’ around Bootle for the project.

The undergraduates’ work will also be on show at a free exhibition in the former FM Boutique unit in The Strand from May 4-7.

As well as being invited to view the photos showing Bootle as it is now, visitors will also be able to see historic archive photos of the town.

“The architectural process led to the design of a building which would provide a natural rhythm within the plot whilst respecting the locality of neighbouring properties. Aesthetically, the proposal will sit well within the plot and will not be visually intrusive to neighbouring occupiers due to size or proximity to boundaries.”

District nurse handed driving ban for three years after second court appearance in two weeks A DISTRICT nurse has lost her driving licence for three years after being convicted for a second time of drug driving in the space of two weeks.

Suzanne Strain, 41, of Carr Meadow Hey, Netherton, has been warned by magistrates she will go to jail if she continues to drug drive or drive while disqualified.

Strain pleaded guilty to two drug driving offences at Sefton Magistrates Court on March 20.

Prosecutor Olivia Murray said that she was pulled over by police on Brown’s Lane, Netherton, on January 3 due to the poor condition of her vehicle.

When spoken to, however, officers suspected she may be under the influence of drugs after noting that her eyes were glazed and that she was slurring her words and acting nervously.

A roadside test showed the presence of cocaine and subsequent blood tests showed the presence of both cocaine and benzoylecgonine in her blood, at 25 micrograms per litre and 134 micrograms per litre respectively. Benzoylecgonine is produced by the liver on the breakdown of cocaine and the legal limit is 50mcg/l. The legal limit for cocaine is 10mcg/l.

Dangerous Miss Murray said that Strain had been in court on March 6 for two drug driving offences when she was banned from driving for 12 months. Having two drug driving convictions within a ten year period Strain would be subject to a mandatory disqualification of at least three years, the prosecutor said.

Solicitor Nick Archer said that Strain was still employed as a district nurse. He said she had personal issues following an incident last August which had ‘knocked her for six’. He said it was debatable whether her previous offences could have been dealt with together and so avoid the three year ban.

Magistrates banned her from driving for three years, fined her £120, and ordered her to pay £115 costs and victim surcharge.

Chairman Alan Crossland said being a district nurse, Strain was obviously an intelligent person and that before her recent court appearances she had been of previous good character.

However, he also said: “If you drive under the influence of drugs or alcohol you go to jail. This is the second time you were caught driving with drugs in your system. You will not be allowed to go on any further, it’s dangerous for yourself and other road users.”

Mr Crossland added: “And if you drive while disqualified you could go to prison.”

JAMIE Carragher paid a visit to a Litherland charity which was recently ransacked by thieves to drop off a £2,440 donation.

The Liverpool legend and his 23 Foundation charity reached out to the Big Help Food Club, on Carr Meadow Hey, after it was burgled in February.

The kindhearted gesture from Carragher will help cover the cost of the damage caused by the thieves, who smashed their way through the front door before trashing the place and stealing £50 in cash.

During his visit, Carragher met staff and volunteers and found out more about how the Big Help Food Club gives people an opportunity to access a healthier range of food within a realistic budget, instead of relying on foodbanks.

Carragher said: “I’m delighted to be able to help

families in the area who need some support. All of us at times need the support of others.” As well as cover the cost of the damage, the £2 donation will also help towards buying better storage facilities to increase the range the Food Club can offer.

Unlike foodbanks, Food Clubs work on a membership model and are open to anyone who wishes to join.

Members can choose from a range of chilled, fresh, frozen and ambient food and stock is sourced through FareShare, a national network that redistributes quality, in-date food to organisations across the country.

Peter Mitchell, executive chair of the Big Help Project said: “We are delighted to receive this cheque from the 23 Foundation, which will cover the costs of updating our food storage at the club.

“The Big Help Project is committed to bringing in new ways to address food insecurity, and we will not rest until quality, fresh and healthy food is within the means of all.”

Actress avoids jail after posting picture of James Bulger killer Report by Tom Martin An artist’s impression of the new-look park hut

Park community hut set for revamp and expansion A COMMUNITY hut in Bootle’s South Park could be expanded so more groups can hold activities.

Sefton Council want to upgrade The South Park Community Hut, located in the middle of the park, so it can become a new “multi-purpose space to be used by community groups.”

They also want to revamp the existing facilities inside the hut, with plans to bring in new toilets and a kitchen.

A planning application on behalf of the council states: “This statement is to support a planning application to extend the current South Park Community Hut facility to incorporate a new multi-purpose space to be used by community groups.

“The existing facility will also be updated with new toilets and a kitchen as part of these plans.

This will enable the facility to be as flexible as possible to maximise use by local community groups.

“This project supports the wider regeneration of South Park, which over the last 18 months has benefited from a new play area, environmental improvements and a new multi-purpose games and sports area.

“A community consultation event managed by the council’s Neighbourhoods Team was undertaken as part of the South Park fun day in August 2018 and the proposals received very strong support.”

Sewing project shows support to Women’s Day A SEWING project in Netherton that enables people with support needs to acquire embroidery skills showed its support for International Women’s Day. Members of the New Directions textile workshop, run by adult social care provider New Directions, produced a special range of tote bags, lunch bags and cushions to mark the recent event.

The products, in a variety of eye-catching colours, all featured the project’s own customised design, and aimed to raise awareness of the annual event which celebrates the achievements of women, and campaigns for greater progress towards gender equality.

New Threads were invited by trade union UNISON to promote and sell the bags at an International Women’s Day celebration they organised in Netherton. The union also commissioned the team to produce some bunting for use at the event.

Operations manager Michelle Wilson said: “Events like this are opportunities for the people we support to show their skills and hard work, promoting independence and self-

A LIVERPOOL actress who avoided jail for posting a picture on social media of one of James Bulger’s killers has made an emotional appearance on national television to claim the case has “destroyed” her.

Tina Malone, 55, best known for appearing on Shameless between 2005-2013, was fined £10,000 and given an eight-month suspended prison sentence after admitting contempt of court for putting an image of killer Jon Venables on her Facebook page in January last year.

This is against the law because there is a global ban on publishing anything about the identity of Venables or the second killer Robert Thompson.

Following the recent court case, Ms Malone chose to be interviewed on ITV's This Morning show, where she claimed the £10,000 fine means she can no longer take her five-year-old daughter to Disneyland.

She said: “I happened to believe anything that’s on the internet, whether it’s girls beating someone up or terrorist stuff or whatever, it’s legal. It isn’t.

“I’m not daft - I just thought if something was out there because of the current situation of the person involved, I just didn’t realise what I was doing was illegal.

“I didn’t mean to provoke or incite any violence or anything. It was over a year ago, and so the repercussions have been horrendous on my life.”

She also claimed that at the time of posting the image, she had just come out of a breakdown and was on “heavy anti-depressants”, although she added “that’s no excuse”.

Ms Malone added: “In the last 12 months, I’d lost

“And my daughter was five in December and I’d kind of promised we’d take her to EuroDisney this June for the third year running but we couldn’t have a birthday party for her even on her fifth birthday ’.

“I’ve got to pay the fine back. I’m terrified. I’ve got to tell the five-year-old we’re not going to EuroDisney. I just feel I’ve let my mum down, and my husband.

“It’s a lesson learned. I would say to people, seriously, watch what you do on social media.”

In March, James Bulger's dad, Ralph Bulger, failed in an attempt to quash the anonymity ruling for his son's killers after a High Court decided it would result in “grave and possibly fatal consequences.”

achievement, while also supporting a very worthwhile cause at the same time.

“We are very proud of what the people who attend New Threads are producing, and equally proud of our employees for their commitment to providing the support to enable them to do it.”

Team member Yvonne Taylor added: “I really enjoyed making the bags and I was pleased they attracted such a lot of interest.”

The New Threads textile workshop is currently based on Dunningsbridge Road where

staff teach sewing, dressmaking and embroidery skills to around 25 people who attend regularly.

This enables team members to produce the wide range of made-to-measure soft furnishing items supplied by New Threads, including curtains, Roman blinds and cushions.

The project also supplies offthe-shelf items such as aprons, bags and runners, as well as a bespoke curtain and garment alteration service, with all profits being ploughed back into more resources for the project and the people who attend.

PUPILS from Our Lady of Walsingham primary school in Netherton celebrated World Book Day on Thursday, March 7 with a bundle of new books for their school library, donated by Morrisons Maghull.

The books were gifted to Our Lady of Walsinghan Primary School thanks to a partnership between the Morrisons Foundation and the National Literacy Trust. It aims to help children from local communities to fall in love with books and reading this World Book Day. The books were presented to pupils by Helen Roberts, community champion at the local Morrisons in Maghull, who said: “I’m delighted to be donating these new books to a local school. There’s a great selection and I hope that every pupil will be able to find a story they will enjoy.”

Support service launched for residents affected by suicide SEFTON residents who have been affected by a friend or family member committing suicide can find help from a new support service.

The Barbara Bettle Foundation service has been launched by charity Caring Connections to support individuals bereaved by suicide across the Liverpool City Region.

The service is set up in memory of Knowsley resident Barbara Bettle, who lost her life to suicide in 2015.

The foundation provides fully funded counselling and cognitive behavioural therapy to adults who have lost someone through suicide, a range of group styles activities are also in the planning process to be launched.

Paul Growney CEO of Caring Connections said: “We are really proud of this service as we think there is great support needed to help people who have been affected by suicide.

“When someone dies through suicide it’s such a total shock and

often has devastating effects on family, friends and community in general.

“The process of death with inquests, coroners courts, unanswered questions is very difficult and people who are bereaved by suicide are found to be three times more likely to have a recurrent suicide in the family.”

Family of mum who died of cancer to hold charity event in her memory Report by Tom Martin A FUNDRAISER will be held in memory of a Crosby mum who passed away on Christmas Day two years ago.

Kirsten Hawksey, 23, who had a one-year-old daughter called Penelope, was diagnosed with Acute Promyelocytic Leukaemia (APL) at the end of November 2017 and less than four weeks later she died.

Her friends and family will remember Kirsten in May when they hold a day of fundraising, with the money going to the Teenage Cancer Trust.

Firstly, a charity football match will be held at Wigan Athletic's DW Stadium on May 11 and then in the evening a charity night will take place at The Railway Club, on Melling Road, in Aintree.

Tickets for the match cost £5 and this includes travel to and from the stadium. The evening event, which also costs £5,will then start from 7.30pm and can be bought by calling Adam Heath on 07926 214 332.

A few weeks before Kirsten was diagnosed with APL, she noticed some bruises on her legs, but didn't think it was that serious.

It was only after speaking to family members and colleagues at her dental practice, where she worked as a dental nurse, that she went to see a doctor.

Kirsten, who was a pupil at Chesterfield High School, was told she had an 80-85% chance of survival and went through chemotherapy.

She began treatment but because patients with APL have a weak immune system, after a week she developed a chest infection. This got worse and she had to be taken to intensive care at the Royal Hospital in Liverpool.

She was transferred to Wythenshawe Hospital, in Manchester, where doctors placed her on an ECMO machine, but she passed away on Christmas day.

APL is a blood cancer, which affects the myeloid cells, which include red blood cells, platelets and some white blood cells.

It is a rare sub-type of acute myeloid leukaemia (AML). When a person has APL, the bone marrow is not able to make enough normal blood cells.

Make-up artist works with star Report by Tom Martin

The young beach cleaners from Bedford Primary School

Pupils clean up beach BOOTLE pupils have been getting their hands dirty after they rolled up their sleeves to clean up the beach.

Youngsters from Bedford Primary School teamed up with Friends of Crosby Beach to take part in two clean-up days at the stretch of beach next to Crosby Leisure Centre.

Carole Watson, Science lead teacher at Bedford Primary, said: “Showing our children the impact of single use plastic at our local beach and what is happening in our area - is extremely important to us. The children were extremely enthusiastic about their trip to the beach and the role they are playing locally to

help provide a solution for a worldwide problem.”

Before the visit, the children had been learning about single use plastic and the danger it poses to the environment. Bedford Primary was supported by Gaskells Waste, Asda, Bootle Action Group and volunteers from the Friends of Crosby Beach and Green Sefton who provided invaluable assistance on the day.

Mrs Watson added: “This exercise is a great example of successful cohesion between organisations and how important it is for the community to work together on a local level to help tackle these global issues.”

A MAKE-UP lecturer at Hugh Baird University Centre was tasked with making sure Liverpool FC star Roberto Firmino looked as sharp in a recent photoshoot as he does on the pitch!

Lucy McKeown, who is a Creative Make Up Design and Practice lecturer, made sure the Brazilian striker looked his best for a recent photoshoot which appeared in New York based Football Magazine, Eight By Eight.

Firmino, who is currently flying high with Liverpool in both the Premier League and the Champions League, was the subject of a profile piece for the magazine and during the shoot, Lucy used her expertise in male grooming.

Lucy has been working professionally in the make up sector for more than 20 years and has applied blusher, eye liner and more to many celebrities and has also worked with top fashion brands such as Vivienne Westwood.

The chance to work with Liverpool’s number 9 came about thanks to the extensive links she continues to maintain with the industry.

Lucy said: “The opportunity to work on this shoot came about thanks to a recommendation from a fellow make up professional based in the US. “This shows how vital it is to constantly network with existing and new contacts locally and globally during your make up career.

“Since the invention of social media the world and the make up industry has become a small place.

“It is amazing how much work is gained through networking online and showcasing your skills through social platforms.

“This is something I stress to my undergraduates.

“They need to understand how to showcase their skills and that’s why we’ve worked social media and digital skills into the course.”

Firmino’s photoshoot for the football magazine

Colette Mawdsley, dean of Higher Education at the Hugh Baird University Centre, added: “Lucy is a shining example of how we bring industry to the classroom. Many of our tutors are heavily involved in creative communities across the region and beyond.

“By remaining in industry, tutors are able to not only keep their skills current but are also able to ensure that our students are career ready when they leave us. I am extremely proud of how all staff see the value in sharing their networks and skills with our undergraduates. In the past, this has led to students receiving some unbelievable work experience opportunities and even job offers.” tom.martin@champnews.com

Stolen items found in Transit Midwife calls on residents van after police stop check to make their voices heard STOLEN items which had been reported missing from Cheshire were found inside a blue Transit van, which had been stopped on Southport Road, in Bootle, following a vehicle stop-check by police.

The police operation on Friday, March 22 led to a 14, 17 and 24 year old all being arrested.

On the same day a kitchen knife was found near Rimrose Valley Country Park and stolen items seized in Bootle as part of a day of police action last week.

Officers were told by a member of the public that a knife had been found near the Rimrose Valley, at the Pendle Estate in Litherland, and the weapon was taken by police to be forensically examined Chief Superintendent Mark Stanton said: “We are determined to keep up the pressure on criminals in Merseyside and make sure

they are left in no doubt that their activities are not welcome in our communities.

“Every drug, knife and firearm we seize hits these criminals where it hurts. It restricts their ability to cause harm in our communities and takes away their ability to fund and carry out their criminal activity.

“Every stop check and every arrest we make should serve as a reminder to them that we will not stand by and allow them to bring crime to our streets.

“And I hope this activity reassures the wider public that we are determined to make our communities safer places to live.

“The public play a crucial role in helping us root out those who are intent on creating fear and harm in the very communities they live in.

“All we ask is that you keep engaging with us, and we will disrupt this criminal activity.

on where to invest in NHS Report by Danielle Thompson

A FORMER midwife has spoken out to urge Sefton residents to have their say on NHS changes.

Anne Major, 63, who worked as a midwife and neonatal nurse for more than 30 years and whose husband has had a quadruple heart by-pass, believes that healthcare across the borough will only work if people make sure their voices are heard.

Now Anne, from Southport, is publicly backing the What Would You Do? campaign, led by independent health and social care champion Healthwatch Sefton, which appeals for views on how extra money from the government should be spent on local NHS services.

The government is investing £20 billion a year in the NHS as part of the NHS Long Term Plan. Local organisations are now being asked to explore how services should change locally to make the NHS work better for people.

Anne, who is also Healthwatch Sefton locality representative for Central Southport, said: “When I have been at listening events at Southport and Formby hospital with Healthwatch Sefton we get fantastic comments and feedback about health services through talking with and listening to people.

“Patients are the experts. Each and every one of them has a story to share – whether that’s good or bad. I would encourage others to take part in the campaign and make sure their voice is heard.”

Maureen Kelly, chair of Healthwatch Sefton, added: “The NHS only works when the voices of the people who use it are heard. This is a once-in-a-generation chance for local people to help decide where this extra money from Government should

From left, Anne Major and Betty Boner, Healthwatch Sefton's engagement and participation officer at Southport Hospital

be spent in our NHS services in Sefton.

“We want to hear from as many people as possible about what works, what doesn’t and how they think local health services should be improved. No matter how big or small the issue, we want to hear about it.

Sharing your experience with us is quick and easy and could make a big difference.”

Student’s book debunks Teenager fighting conspiracy theories on for his life after Hitler’s escape after war being hit by car Report by Henry James

A BOOK written by an author from Maghull seeks to disprove conspiracy theories about how Adolf Hitler did not commit suicide but escaped from the bunker after the war.

Hitler’s Death: The Case Against Conspiracy is the work of 24-year old Luke Daly-Groves, who is a PhD Researcher at Leeds University.

He states that the book “sets out the case against conspiracy theories of Hitler’s escape.”

Rather than recounting the familiar story of Hitler’s last days in detail, it investigates the AngloAmerican intelligence investigations into Hitler’s death and rumours of his survival in order to provide ample proof of his suicide on April 30, 1945.

The book is the product of five years' worth of research for Luke starting out as an idea when he was attending Deyes High Sixth Form College to being a student at the University of Central Lancashire, and completed during his master’s and doctoral studies at Leeds University.

Before writing this book, Luke read all the books about Hitler’s death that he could find.

He said: “By the time I submitted my thesis, I had also read all the

main British intelligence files concerning Hitler’s death that were available to the public at the National Archives in Kew. “Since then I have visited the American National Archives in Maryland and Washington DC where I studied in detail the files preserved by numerous American intelligence agencies concerning rumours of Hitler’s survival.

“Consequently, the book analyses the ‘evidence’ used by conspiracy theorists themselves to disprove their theories.

“But it also contains a considerable array of fresh evidence concerning Hitler’s last days, including previously unpublished sketches of the bunker and never before published photographs of the bunker taken by a Captain of the British Intelligence Corps.”

Luke was influenced to write this book after reading Grey Wolf: The Escape of Adolf Hitler, which claims that Hitler did not commit suicide in 1945 but escaped to Argentina.

He said: “I thought it would be a disservice to history to allow such works to go unchallenged.

“The distortion of historical facts by conspiracy theorists can have very negative (albeit possibly unin-

tended) consequences, such as undermining vital public trust in our intelligence services.

“On a personal level, the Second World War has always been an important topic of discussion in my family, especially with those relatives who have lived through it.

“Studying Hitler’s last days is essential for truly understanding the evils of the Nazi regime.

“It enables one to see Hitler in a more personal light, which makes him more frightening.

“A man capable of love and friendship can also murder millions.”

A TEENAGER is fighting for his life after suffering serious head injuries when he was struck by a car near Maghull town centre.

Alex Moffitt was walking along Kenyons Lane, near the junction with Dodds Lane, in the early hours of the morning on Saturday, March 23 when he was hit by a grey coloured Honda CR-V car.

The 17-year-old former Deyes High School pupil was taken to the Walton Centre, where his condition was described yesterday (Tuesday) as ‘critical but stable.’

A 50-year-old woman was arrested on suspicion of causing serious injury by dangerous driving and drink driving.

She has since been released under investigation.

Messages of support have been posted on social media for Alex who is a talented cricketer and footballer and is wicketkeeper for Maghull Cricket Club Under 18s and 3rd team.

The cricket club posted a message saying ‘Keep fighting Alex’ while Maghull Under 18s football team said the “overwhelming love and support for Alex showed how amazing he is.”

The club posted medical updates stating that he was in an induced coma and that swelling on his brain was being monitored.

Among dozens of messages posted online one said: ‘Keep fighting my mate. We are all with you x’ while another simply said ‘Fingers crossed for a great kid.’

Merseyside Police are appealing for witnesses following the collision which happened at around

Police are appealing for witnesses to the collision on Kenyons Lane.

1.50am, and involved a grey Honda CR-V. Enquiries are ongoing to establish the full circumstances.

Inspector Phil McManus added: “We are keen to speak to anyone who witnessed the incident or may have seen the vehicle in the area prior to the collision occurring.

“We would urge anyone who lives in the area and has CCTV to check if it has captured footage of the vehicle or collision itself.

“Likewise, we would be grateful for anyone with dashcam footage to please get in touch.”

The field known locally as the ‘Seaforth Triangle.’

Group launched with mission to improve ‘Seaforth Triangle’ Report by Tom Martin A COMMUNITY group has been set up to improve a field known as the ‘Seaforth Triangle.’

Friends of Seaforth Triangle say the empty patch of land, off Verdi Street, is popular with dog walkers and has the potential to offer more for the community.

They also want to stop anti-social behaviour, such as yobs riding off-road vehicles, and reduce a litter problem.

Founder of the group, Barbara Corish said: “I've lived here for a long time now and I think it's time

to improve this field and make it into a lovely place to go for residents.

“We are working with Green Sefton to plant trees and there is external funding we can apply for which is available to environmental and Friends groups.

“We want to plant more trees, have wildflower meadows and generally just make it a more interesting place to visit.

“There are problems with people riding motorbikes and litter so hopefully this can be reduced.”

The group will hold an event on Saturday, April 13 between 10am-midday when an information stand will be set up on the Seaforth Triangle to advertise the new group.

Locals are invited to attend and find out more about the group and join as members.

School given damning report by Ofsted Report by Tom Martin

A DAMNING report has criticised a Bootle high school and claimed “most pupils do not benefit from good teaching.”

A latest Ofsted report for Savio Salesian College, which was made public on Monday, March 25, has labelled the school “inadequate” and it will remain in Special Measures.

It was first rated as inadequate in 2016 but a recent inspection has failed to find much improvement.

The report states: “For far too long, pupils at this school have not benefited from a good quality of education. Consequently, during their time in school, they do not make the progress of which they are capable across a range of subjects, particularly in English, mathematics and science.

“Leaders have been unable to bring about the much-needed improvement. They do not systematically monitor the quality of what happens in the school. Nor do they routinely evaluate the impact of their actions.

“In the last three years, pupils’ outcomes have been weak and show no sign of improvement.

Indeed, in 2018, from an already below average position, there was a significant deterioration in the progress rate of pupils.

“The attendance rate of disadvantaged pupils remains low. Most pupils do not benefit from good

teaching. This has a detrimental effect on the progress that they make. This is particularly the case for disadvantaged pupils and the most able.”

Ofsted also claimed that the number of fixed-term exclusions is too high, particularly for disadvantaged pupils and those with special educational needs and that “most teachers do not have high enough expectations of what their pupils can achieve.”

However, there was some praise for the school within the report: “This is a very caring school where staff show genuine concern for the welfare and personal development of their pupils. Most pupils behave well in lessons and around school.

They are polite and friendly.”

It also singled out headteacher Anthony Costello, who was appointed on a two-year secondment in September 2017, who was praised by Ofsted who said he had “brought a more focused leadership.”

A spokesman for Savio said: "We are pleased that Ofsted have recognised improvements in behaviour, attendance and safeguarding over the last two years but acknowledge that results are not where they need to be.

"We are committed to addressing this and supporting pupils to achieve the best in their education."

Some of Savio's notable former pupils include Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher, ex-UKIP leader and current MEP for the North West England Paul Nuttall and Manchester United ladies footballer Alex Greenwood.

Liverpool City Council say “essential engineering works”, which began on Monday, March 18, will last for a month on Waterloo Road and Regent Road, adding more traffic misery for motorists.

The street closures came into effect between Paisley Street and Blackstone Street to allow for drainage repairs, carriageway resurfacing and critical utility works.

Residents should unite to insist on smart solution

Private firms better than councils at delivering a reliable bus service

For the safety of young children keep Edgemoor blocked

Re letter: (Rimrose Valley road is only practical solution).

I would like to ask the letter writer if they would be prepared to buy a house overlooking Rimrose Valley if the road is built?

I appreciate that the plight of the A5036 residents is untenable but I believe all the residents of South Sefton should be uniting to insist that the government find a smart solution to the issue that significantly reduces pollution (air, noise and vibration) within the borough rather than just exacerbating the pollution over the whole area by wanting to build a new road.

I noted with interest the article headed ‘Unacceptable” cuts to bus services.’

MP Bill Esterson states that deregulation has been a disaster for passengers, especially on lesser used routes that are not profit making.

He goes on to say that he wants to see services that are based on need, and not profit.

Could he explain how this is to be funded if it doesn’t cover its costs and return a “profit”?

It is this that allows investment in vehicles under seven years old, with wi-fi and USB charging at every seat which is now the minimum aspiration of the combined authorities Bus Alliance.

Profit is not a “dirty ” word. It is a necessity for a bus operator to survive and invest in its assets and staff.

Mr Esterson quite rightly states that many elderly people rely on bus services to attend important appointments and to decrease social isolation, but there is a national underfunding of the concessionary pass scheme - £650million in 2017/2018.

How can bus operators maintain services with such cuts and underfunding?

I am writing with regards to my view on the constant comments in the paper on people wanting Edgemoor Drive to be reopened.

I live on Edgemoor with young children and the amount of traffic coming through the estate due to people wanting a ‘short cut’ was ridiculous.

Drivers exceeding the speed limit by 3040mph was a daily occurrence with no thought for the residents of this road.

I feared for the safety of my children as soon as my door was opened due to reckless drivers who couldn’t adhere to speed limits.

The journey into or out of Crosby takes a bit longer but an extra five minutes onto the journey isn’t a major issue.

People who are complaining are those who have no consideration for those who live on this road.

Could Mr Esterson explain how he and his Labour colleagues would fund these “proper bus services for Sefton” that he aspires to have?

Politicians look at the bus industry with rose tinted spectacles and would have you believe everything was perfect prior to deregulation in 1986.

Far from it. Buses were dirty, old and the local “corpy ” bus company came within a whisker of losing its operators’ licence for poor maintenance!

Is this really want we want to go back to?

You only need to look up the road to Halton Transport, which is owned and operated by the council, to see how a ‘local authority’ owned bus company can end up - not having made a profit for the last three financial years, an underinvested fleet and now the threat of drivers being asked to take a pay cut for the operation to survive.

Leave bus ownership in the private sector, with people who know how to create and deliver a reliable, efficient product with minimal cost to the tax payer.

People should be The George shows We need more educated to recycle good outshines bad! speed cameras I just read in your recent edition that food waste collection is to be scrapped because not enough people are using it.

And instead of food caddies we are to put it in the grey wheelie bins.

For starters we don’t have any wheelie bins on my road and for those that do have them they are going to have to routinely clean them out!

Surely the council would do much better to educate people and enforce it anyway.

This throw away mentality has to stop somewhere.

I went for a pub lunch with my family to the George in Crosby Village and we realised later that my wife had left her bag there.

It had her purse, glasses, bus pass, the lot all inside.

The next day we got a call from a lovely young lady called Vicky who worked there and she said they ’ve got the bag.

I went down to collect it and thanked them because I thought it was a lovely gesture.

It goes to show that sometimes good people can outshine the bad ones and that’s what Vicky did for us so thank you to her and the George.

It was interesting to read about the monitoring of speeding vehicles at the junction of Crosby Road South and Cambridge Road.

Perhaps they can help on Liverpool Road between College Road and Endbutt Lane.

I've been trying, via both my Sefton councillor and the Police and Crime Commissioner - unsuccessfully for more than six months - to get speed controls installed.

Outside of the rush hours, one can see vehicles regularly traveling at over 30mph and on a Sunday afternoon more than 50mph on that stretch of road.

We’d be no better off in West Lancs Re: Letter about Lydiate would be better off in West Lancashire.

The point over increases of at least 6% in forthcoming council tax in Sefton may be valid but West Lancashire are also likely to increase their precepts by a similar amount given its past history.

Council tax paid is comparable, especially once a Lydiate precept is added, or shall we have a referendum to dispose of Lydiate Parish as well!

And the nearest fire and police stations would still be based in Merseyside. For the sake of saving £40 a year there would be longer waiting times for emergency services to respond, because only rarely will Lancashire call upon Merseyside to mobilise a response.

Ambulance response that will remain the same as we have a North West Ambulance Service.

LETTERS to the Editor

Rat run is due to traffic gridlock

Recycling drop due to fewer collections

Re: Rat run Have the people complaining about the ‘rat run ‘ on The Crescent road in Thornton not spared a thought as to why people use this.

I shall tell you.

It is because the traffic on Moor Lane is utterly horrendous!

Maybe the people of Thornton should be asking the council to do something about this as it is practically grid locked traffic on Moor Lane even worse at peak times!

The council can block the entrance of the rat run but all this will do is force drivers to find another way to skip the bottle neck traffic on Moor Lane.

This is what happened when they blocked off Edgemoor Drive.

Plus the shops on The Crescent will have their business affected by blocking off the road as drivers won’t drive down there!

People can thank whoever built Brooms Cross Road as this has made Moor Lane traffic even worse and need serious attention!

Re: Food waste collections.

The amount of food waste collected has dropped not because people are wasting less but because it is now collected fortnightly.

I imagine the 5,000 tonnes collected in 2010 was when it was a weekly collection.

In my own road I know that 85/90% of caddies were put out when it was weekly collections but has now dropped well below 40% with the fortnightly collection.

Sefton Council failed to mention the drop may be a result of them changing from weekly to fortnightly collections.

Commissioner will still get her salary

Zara Fitzpatrick, By email

Police Commissioner Jane Kennedy feels so strongly about anti semitic abuse suffered by Luciana Berger and re-admission to the Labour Party of Hatton the Horrible that she has resigned.

But of course she won't step down for another 13 months, thus ensuring she gets a wad full of salary, pension entitlements and any severance payments her contract entitles her to.

She says she will carry on with her duties, but with what conviction If she feels so strongly, go now, can I please have a refund of the ÂŁ175.93 included in my rates for administration of her office?

I think not.

It would be stupid to reopen road It would be a stupid solution to reopen the road.

Previous letters are obviously not aware it went to public consultation!

The local residents voted to close Edgemoor.

It was a nightmare as a cut through.

If Sefton Council altered the Crescent as their plans showed (narrowing the entrance) this won’t be a problem.

Friends of Earth chief to visit Rimrose Valley

Transform your garden

Report by Tom Martin A LEADING figure from the Friends of the Earth group will visit Rimrose Valley Country Park to lend his support to campaigners fighting against plans to build a road through its centre.

Craig Bennett, the chief executive of the Friends of the Earth England, Wales and Northern Ireland group, will be at the south Sefton park on Friday, March 29 to show support to Rimrose Valley Friends.

Friends of the Earth, which was founded in 1969, is an international network of environmental organisations in 74 countrieswho fight to protect the “wellbeing of the natural world.”

Mr Bennett is expected to urge Highways England to reverse their plans to build a dualcarraigeway through the heart of Rimrose Valley, to create a new transport link between Switch Island and the Port of Liverpool.

Speaking ahead of his visit, Mr Bennett said: “It’s outrageous that this road could be allowed to plough through the middle of the local community.

“Not only will this destroy important local green space, but new roads simply lead to more cars and more pollution.

“Transport is the UK’s biggest source of climate wrecking emissions.

“In order to deal with the climate crisis we have to encourage people out of their cars by investing in better public transport, walking and cycling, and look at ways to move freight off our roads.

“This scheme is simply bad news for nature, our health and our climate.”

Stuart Bennett of the Save Rimrose Valley Campaign added: “We are delighted that Friends of the Earth is throwing its considerable weight behind our campaign. Craig’s intervention is particularly

timely, as we ready ourselves for Highways England’s statutory consultation, which is due to be announced at any time.

“We are encouraging everyone to reject the new road on the basis that it doesn’t solve any problems, it just adds to them, while destroying a priceless local green space.

“Friends of the Earth is an internationally respected organisation, so it is hugely significant that Craig has taken such an interest in our cause.

“If he is saying that not only is this road unsustainable and a threat to public health and the environment at a local level, but will also worsen climate change, then people need to sit up and take notice.

“We have always said our situation is part of the much bigger problem about how our country approaches the transport challenges of the 21st century. Building more roads is not the answer; it’s been shown it doesn’t work.”

Student who volunteers for scouts and sea cadets caught drink driving

Conditional discharge granted for cannabis user who has cancer

A STUDENT who volunteers for sea cadets and scouts has been banned from driving for two years after he drove his car while nearly three times over the drink drive limit.

Alex Beigan, 21, of Crosby Road South, Seaforth, pleaded guilty at Sefton Magistrates Court on March 20.

Olivia Murray, prosecuting, said that police were called at 1.20am on March 3 by a member of the public who was following a Vauxhall Astra in Seaforth driven by someone they believed to be drink driving.

When police caught up with the vehicle it was parked up on Rimrose Road, Beigan was across the road making his way back towards the car.

MAGISTRATES have granted a conditional discharge to a Crosby man who was caught with cannabis after hearing from his solicitor that he has cancer.

Neil Smith, 52, of Hillary Drive, Crosby, pleaded guilty to possession of the class B drug at Sefton Magistrates Court on March 13.

Andrew Page, prosecuting, said that he was stopped by police on Hillary Drive on February 2 while cycling and was searched when officers detected the smell of cannabis on him. Mr Page said that Smith had 17 previous matters on record in relation to drugs including conspiracy to supply drugs in 2016.

Smith’s solicitor Rory McCormack said that

HIs eyes were bloodshot, his pupils were dilated, he was unsteady on his feet and smelling heavily of intoxicants. He was arrested after failing a breath test.

Beigan, a nautical science student at Liverpool's John Moores University, told magistrates he did not think he should be banned as he uses the car to take his disabled girlfriend to college and to help the sea cadets. He is also a volunteer for scouts where he teaches sailing.

The magistrates said drink driving seemed “totally out of character” for Beigan but that his breath test reading had been “enormously high” and sentenced him to 60 hours of unpaid work and banned him from driving for two years.

the offence from 2016 was a “million miles” from what he was caught doing this time and asked for either a fine or a conditional discharge “Things are not good for Mr Smith,” Mr McCormack said, “He fell out of a tree he was pruning breaking his collarbone and a number of ribs.

“Then around the same time he was diagnosed with cancer. The prognosis is not particularly good. As a piece of personal mitigation I would ask that you take that into account when you consider what the punishment should be.”

The magistrates granted Smith a six-month conditional discharge but ordered that he pay £105 in costs and victim surcharge.

Sefton Skills Show puts students in the picture

The future may be electronic but it’s some time off yet I SUPPOSE I must spend quite a long time each week waiting at bus stops and with nothing better to do with my time, I tend to spend it, believe it or not, thinking.

And just yesterday I got to thinking about babies and bathwater and Kings and their new clothes.

What started this off was my antipathy towards our rush to electrify everything in sight NOW with everything having to have software (whatever that is) before it attracts any interest at all.

In particular, two recent happenings brought this on.

First the recent tragedy with two Boeing 737s inexplicably falling from the skies.

Secondly the very late introduction of new ‘Azuma’ trains on the East Coast main line because their electronics interfered with signalling systems, and services on a commuter line in London having to be halved because its new trains simply don't work properly.

They apparently have had 30 software upgrades and yet still stubbornly won't go. The King's new clothes? I rather think so if you still think this is ‘just progress.’

Boeing too, having now grounded all the planes affected, are looking at problems with 'software'.

In all this I am not a Luddite - back in the 1960s I remember writing a story for a local newspaper about the success of ‘the sparks effect’ when British Rail introduced their 'ton-up' electric expresses between Liverpool and London.

The difference was of course that they used tried and tested systems that worked straight out of the box.

And then, thinking of bus stops (well that is where I started) we have the rush to introduce allelectric buses.

Now mind, this is going ahead quite quickly in some parts of the country, despite the head honchoes of both Stagecoach and First saying that at the moment it is economic madness and that the technology is not yet ready for everyday use.

I’m afraid I cannot remember exactly where this has happened, but somewhere in the continent of Europe a company running express coaches was persuaded that this too could become an all-electric success.

It hasn’t. Not because the vehicles don't work but because they are slower in their journeys and have to wait far longer at each end to be recharged.

The really daft bit is that now the company has issued a new timetable for the service - one for journeys using conventional diesel coaches, and one for those with planet-saving electric ones.

Assuming you were using this as an express because you wanted to arrive quickly, which one would you plump for?

A case of babies and bath water perhaps?

I would certainly agree that the future is electric.

But this headlong rush to attain electronic nirvana is fraught with cost and problems - some unhappily apparently fatal.

And I think that perhaps we are deliberately overlooking for instance at the vast and rapid progress that has been made to clean up modern diesel units - so much so that vehicles so equipped can easily pass current pollution laws.

All I am asking is that we shouldn't dash into things just because they are new.

Perhaps we could save the babies from going down the plughole and avoid the King being seen in the altogether (even if we choose to take a blind eye to his nakedness) if we made haste slowly.

I know this flies in the face of those who want to Save the Planet at almost any cost - but cost it is, usually in the form of the pound in your pocket, or in the case unhappy commuters in London and passengers on East Coast express trains, but occasionally and tragically at the cost of lives.

HUNDREDS of students and residents gathered at Aintree Racecourse for the Sefton Skills Show recently.

Attendees discovered new vocational pathways, tried new skills and were told about different careers.

The Sefton Skills Show was the second in a series of four free events delivered by Liverpool City Region Apprenticeship Hub and organised

by All About STEM. At the Sefton Skills Show, a range of exhibitors from numerous fields aimed to inspire students and residents with new skills, hands-on activities and apprenticeship and careers advice.

Attendees tried their hand at various vocations from business to barbering and virtual reality to healthcare. Experts were on hand to offer guidance and each exhibitor brought along their apprentices to discuss their own personal pathways.

Popular bird watching Mersey cruise returns Report by Tom Martin NATURE enthusiasts can enjoy a different view of Merseyside’s wildlife – from the comfort of a bird watching cruise ship!

Mersey Ferries has revealed plans to bring back its previously popular ‘Liverbird’ Bird Watching and Nature Discovery Cruise, which will set sail in May and October this year.

They will provide passengers with the chance to see a range of wildlife up close, with sightings of peregrine falcons, long-tailed skuas, osprey and Atlantic grey seals being reported by passengers on previous ‘Liverbird’ cruises.

Sailing across the river and going out into the Liverpool bay, the three hour cruises are ideal for families and both new and experienced bird watchers, as experts from RSPB will be on-hand to answer any questions and help with the spotting of wildlife.

Gary Evans from Mersey Ferries, said: “Working alongside the RSPB is a great selling point for these cruises, as their experts offer our passengers a huge

“We were blown away by the response to last year ’s nature cruise.

“We’re expecting both of this year’s cruises to sell out, so would advise passengers to book their tickets early to avoid disappointment.”

Jayne Rigby from the RSPB in Merseyside, said: “The River Mersey is a wonderful destination for nature enthusiasts and birdwatchers, with the river banks being home to a wide variety of birds and mammals which we don’t necessarily get to see on a regular day.

“The unique cruises being offered by Mersey Ferries will provide a marvellous and rare opportunity to appreciate the wildlife of the Mersey Estuary.

“The whole family will be able to enjoy nature and the great outdoors, whilst also making the most of the experts on board, who can help with spotting rare animals and answer almost any question on Merseyside’s bird population.”

Countdown is on for Grand National weekend as thousands prepare to descend on Aintree

The Home of Rock Bottom Prices

Report by Henry James THERE is only a little over a week until the 172nd running of the world’s greatest and most valuable chase gets underway as tens of thousands of people prepare to arrive in Aintree.

This year’s Grand National (known officially as the £1m Randox Health Grand National) will see a total of 81 horses, up from 73 at the same stage in 2018, take on the famous four mile, two furlong and 74-yard handicap chase.

With more than £3.2million in prize money on offer over the 21 races - as well as all the bets being placed by punters across the whole world - there is a great deal at stake.

The main event will take place at Aintree at 5.15pm on Saturday, April 6, day three of the overall Grand National festival.

Merseyrail trains will be burst-

ing with eager race-goers arriving at the nearby train station across the three days.

It will start with Grand National Thursday, continue with Ladies Day on Friday and culminate with Grand National Saturday.

Last year’s winner, Tiger Roll (Gordon Elliott, 11st 1lb) captured the 2018 Randox Health Grand National and appeared in the form of his life when sauntering to a facile 22-length in

the Glenfarclas Cross Country Chase at Cheltenham on March 13.

The Gigginstown House Studowned nine-year-old won the same contest in 2018 ahead of his Aintree victory.

If successful at Aintree on April 6, Tiger Roll would become the first back-to-back winner of the great race since Red Rum in 1973 and 1974. He is the 5/1 favourite with Betway.

Litter-pick at cemetery ahead of Mother's Day BOOTLE Action Group will hold their annual litter-pick of Bootle Cemetery ahead of Mother's Day. The group will meet

this Saturday (March 30) to clean up the cemetery ahead of Mother's Day the following day when there is a rise in visitors.

If anyone would like to help out, they are meeting at 10am-1pm at the Menai Road entrance. All litterpicking equipment is provided.

The group has done previous litter-picks in the cemetery before Mother’s Day and they are welcoming anyone who would want to help.

The NHS says it aims to respond by around seven minutes to life-threatening call-outs

Ambulance response times vary across the borough Report by Tom Martin AMBULANCE response times for critically injured patients vary across south Sefton, according to new figures.

The BBC has found how long it takes on average for paramedics to arrive at life-threatening callouts, which is broken down into different postcodes. An average response time of around seven minutes is considered the target for the NHS, but this will increase depending on where you live, so those living in rural areas can expect to wait longer.

These times cover the point at which a trained person reaches the patient - so it could be an ambulance or volunteers trained by the service to respond to these highest-priority cases Bootle has one of the fastest response times, standing at only seven minutes and 28 seconds.

Perhaps unsurprisingly, it's a similar situation in Aintree and Fazakerley (seven and a half minutes) due to its close proximity to Aintree University Hos-

pital. However, the average response times seem to increase if you live further towards the north of the borough. For instance, in Netherton and Litherland the time creeps up to eight minutes and 46 seconds.

In Crosby the figure is ten minutes 17 seconds, and it's similar in Maghull where the time is ten minutes 31 seconds.

This would be over the ideal target of seven minutes, and experts say delays could make the difference between life and death.

In north Sefton, the average waiting time is more than 13 minutes in Formby, and just under nine minutes in Southport.

Anthony Marsh, who chairs the UK Association of Ambulance Chief Executives, said the levels of demand and the remoteness of some areas presented ‘challenging circumstances’ for the service.

He said: “Our staff are working flat out to deal with record number of 999 calls, to reach all patients as quickly as they can whether they live in rural or urban areas.

“Undoubtedly given the very rural nature of the majority of our country, there will be cases where we are longer to arrive than we would prefer.”

Firefighters say arson is ‘huge issue’ as they spread word of Awareness Week Report by Tom Martin MERSEYSIDE firefighters have been getting behind Arson Awareness Week by carrying out home safety checks and sending out information leafletsacross Sefton.

A number of houses in the borough were visited by firefighters, who checked if smoke alarms were in order and distributed leaflets to give safety advice.

They were supported by Sefton Council and Merseyside Police during Arson Awareness Week, which was held between March 18-22.

Merseyside Fire and Rescue revealed they have tackled nearly 20,500 deliberate fires during the past five years, and have described arson attacks as a “huge issue” for them.

Michael Buratti, Arson Reduction Manager for Merseyside Fire & Rescue Service, said: “The figures from the last five years show that arson is a huge

The Champion reported last year how arsonists targeted a children's play area in Derby Park, Bootle

issue for both local communities and our service, with sometimes deadly consequences for those affected.

“Arson Awareness Week saw organisations from across our county come

together to raise awareness of the dangers of arson and the impact fires have on our communities.

“Arson is a serious criminal offence which puts people’s lives at risk, causes damage to homes, businesses and community facilities and impacts on wildlife and the environment.

“It can range from mindless criminal damage to a deliberately-targeted attack but, either way, the potentially lethal results remain the same.

“If fire appliances are called out to deliberate fires this may delay the response to other emergencies, which could endanger lives elsewhere.

“We want to make people aware that deliberately setting fires in a public place is arson and, if caught, those responsible may face legal action.”

The Champion has reported how arsonists have caused damage across Sefton in recent years.

A notable incident was in Bootle’s Derby Park, when a notice board was damaged in a blaze as well as children’s play equipment.

Hospice to hold charity evening ST Joseph Hospice will hold a Midsummer Night Charity Ball to raise funds for the Thornton facility.

The black tie event will take place at The Crowne Plaza Hotel, in Liverpool, on June 21 and 22 and the hospice is inviting businesses from across Liverpool and Merseyside to attend.

Asa Murphy and his swing band will entertain guests, with Ronnie Orr to take on the role of host for the evening.

There will also be a raffle and an auction with a wide range of prizes to be won.

Tickets to the Midsummer Night Ball cost £65 per person, which will include a drink on arrival plus a three-course meal. Various sponsorship opportunities are also available.

Epilepsy initiative to run across North West Report by Danielle Thompson EPILEPSY patients across the North West are set to avoid unnecessary admissions to hospital thanks to a project giving paramedics instant access to their information.

Epilepsy is estimated to affect more than 500,000 people in the UK, and more than 57,000 in the North West. Following a seizure, paramedics will often convey people to hospital unnecessarily. The person may have had epilepsy for a number of years and all they need is a safe place to recover, to take their rescue medication and for a family member to be informed.

When patients are taken to A&E, staff do not have access to their medical information, resulting in unnecessary admissions, investigations and potential treatment errors.

To address this, Liverpool Health Partners is working on a project that has received a funding boost from UK Research and Innovation - PED4PED People with Epilepsy Sharing Data for Care with Paramedics and the Emergency Department.

A team at the University of Liverpool has been working with NHS staff including paramedics, patients, neurologists and A&E representatives to identify what type of data should be available to paramedics and A&E staff. This may include confirmation of diagnosis, usual seizure type, rescue medicine protocol, next of kin or place of safety.

The project could be life-changing for people involved, improving care for people with epilepsy whilst creating cost savings and better ways of working in the NHS. Leading the initiative is Professor of Neurology, Tony Marson, from the university’s Institute of Translational Medicine who also leads the Liverpool Epilepsy Research Group, as well as numerous epilepsy and neurological organisations.

The project is one of 10 innovations in the UK to receive a share of £3 million government funding

Epilepsy affects specific parts of the brain

from UK Research and Innovation.

The UK has some of the richest health data of anywhere in the world, yet it is fragmented, and its potential to improve lives is often untapped.

Health Data Research UK challenged the NHS, universities and companies to combine their expertise to create ‘Sprint Exemplar Innovation Projects’ using data to drive innovation and improve health outcomes for people across the UK. The University of Liverpool received a £214k boost to develop its innovative health data project to improve emergency care for people with epilepsy.

Mike Jackson from the North West Ambulance Service added: “As a trust we are dedicated to making sure that we give our patients the right care for them in the best possible place.

“The idea of the project is that by making additional information accessible for our ambulance clinicians, they will be able to make more informed decisions based on the patient’s medical history.

This means that if the patient could benefit more from care in the community, unnecessary A&E admissions can be avoided which in turn will free up vital emergency resources.

“We are extremely pleased that this funding has been awarded for the project and always welcome new ways of working which can help us provide better care for our patients.”

ENTERTAINMENT

Comedian starring in The Full Monty was ‘fast play about British moving and very funny’ actor David Tomlinson Review by Peter Rimmer

MILES Jupp, one of Britain’s leading stand-up comedians and revered actors (Mock the Week, Balamory, The News Quiz, Rev, The Durrells), stars in The Life I Lead about British actor David Tomlinson in the Floral Hall Ballroom on the Waterfront.

Best remembered for playing Mr Banks in Disney’s classic film Mary Poppins and Professor Emelius Browne in Bedknobs and Broomsticks, David Tomlinson was renowned for playing the classic English gent: forthright, proper, and a loveable fool.

His meeting with Walt Disney came to encapsulate his incredible life full of adventure and heartbreak. The Life I Lead sees Miles Jupp bringing David Tomlinson’s remarkable story to life.

As a World War Two fighter pilot, his early life contained action and adventure; but he suffered huge heartbreak with the tragic death of his first wife, and his fight to have his son Willie recognised as one of the first British cases of autism. The man who portrayed one of cinema’s most famous patriarchs was also defined by his relationship with his own father – a remote eccentric, who was hiding an extraordinary tragicomic secret.

The Life I Lead is a richly comic and moving tale of fathers and sons across the generations and fills in the blanks behind a very well-known face.

Miles Jupp said: “I was attracted to this first because of the character of Tomlinson himself - a man whose acting performances seemed effortless but concealed a great skill beneath the surface and not a little magic.

“And then by the story of his life, beautifully writ-

The Full Monty Liverpool Empire

Miles Jupp is to star in the show about the actor David Tomlinson

ten by my frequent collaborator James Kettle, which is full of surprises.

“It is a script that contains both comedy and moments of extraordinary sadness and pain and I hope that under the direction of Selina Cadell, one of my most favourite people in the world, I can do the play and Tomlinson justice.”

Described by the Telegraph as “a very British tourde-force”, Miles Jupp has appeared as a performer across a wide range of genres – from stand-up comedy and theatre to major television series and Hollywood films. His extensive screen credits include: the award-winning BBC2 sitcom Rev, The Thick Of It, Outnumbered and Gary: Tank Commander as well as the popular children’s TV show, Balamory, The Crown on Netflix, Howards End for the BBC, and The Durrells and Bad Move for ITV. See The Life I Lead at the Floral Hall Ballroom at the Waterfront on Saturday, April 6 at 7.30pm.

This show could also be called Girls Just Wanna Have Fun judging by the mostly female first night audience reaction to the fast moving and very funny production of The Full Monty stage show at the Empire. They were there to have fun and they sure did.

Gasps of delight greeted Gaz played by Gary Lucy and Louis Emerick playing Horse, perhaps in anticipation of what might happen later.

This show doesn’t need much introduction as it’s based on the hit 1997 film of the same name and follows the story of the out of work Sheffield steel workers forming a dance group to make money and as the programme notes will tell you the play touches on many themes including unemployment, sexual equality, body image and homosexuality.

So one wouldn’t expect it to be a fun night out and indeed the film version does get a bit heavy at times but not this version, it’s played for laughs from start to finish.

Much fun is had with a steel girder, a comic suicide scene and girls outside the club needing to relieve themselves and of course men taking their clothes off.

A split level stage structure with scenes of disused steelworks, job club and of course seedy nightclub

A scene from The Full Monty

move the production on at a pace. Set designer Robert Jones helped make this seamless with quick movement of props and good effects and quick fire direction from Rupert Hill from this well-rehearsed cast, many of whom have been touring this production for some time now making it a very enjoyable night out.

Of course the whole play builds up to the final climax of the fellas getting their kit off and this scene is a delight with the audience on their feet to join in the fun and give a standing ovation from the near capacity crowd.

Star Rating 8 out of 10. Another good night at the Empire.

Internationally famous musicians performing together for first time PARBOLD Douglas Music is to present the unique and exclusive event of two internationally famous musicians, cellist Natalie Clein with pianist Peter Donohoe performing together for the first time in the Auditorium in the Village Hall WN8 7DN on Saturday, April 6 at 7.45 pm.

Earlier this month news came that Natalie’s pianist for her Parbold concert was unavailable. A search began for another pianist.

At the same time Peter Donohoe was in Parbold in early March to play a concert.

He immediately volunteered to work with Natalie.

Messages flashed across the globe to Australia, the USA where Natalie was touring, and finally to the UK, and that is how this pairing of the cellist virtuoso, Natalie Clein and one of the foremost pianists of our time, Peter Donohoe, came into being.

Their programme will include Rachmaninov’s Cello sonata, one of the most famous romantic pieces, composed at the same time as the popular Second Piano Concerto.

Australia’s Sydney Herald reviewed Natalie’s recent performances as “a near flawless evening of 24-carat musicmaking... the evening's spectacular highlight: Rachmaninov's ferociously demanding Sonata -From the

first bar it was an astounding, boundless performance, worth its weight in gold.”

Born in the United Kingdom, Natalie Clein came to widespread attention at the age of 16 when she won both the BBC Young Musician of the Year and the Eurovision Competition for Young Musicians in Warsaw.

Described by the Times as 'mesmerising' and 'soaringly passionate', British cellist Natalie Clein has built a distinguished career, regularly performing at major venues and with orchestras worldwide. Natalie is a Professor at the Royal College of Music London and Music Academy Rostock.

This will be Peter Donohoe’s second visit to Parbold in only a matter of weeks and he will return again with Martin Roscoe later in April for the twopiano Gershwin concert.

Peter Donohoe CBE was born in Manchester and educated at Chetham’s School of Music.

In the years since his unprecedented success as Silver Medal winner of the 1982 7th International Tchaikovsky Competition in Moscow, Peter Donohoe has built a worldwide career, encompassing a repertoire and more than 40 years’ experience as a pianist, as well as continually exploring many other avenues in music-making. He is acclaimed for his musician-

ship, versatility and technique.

Concert tickets are £18 for adults and £5 for young persons and students. To book or order tickets go online to www.parbolddouglasmusic.org , e-mail: tickets@parbolddouglasmusic.org or telephone: 01257 498452 (booking answerphone). A limited number of stand-by tickets are always available at the Box Office on the evening of the concert.

The two musicians will present an “inspiring” programme. As well as Rachmaninov they will perform Ralph Vaughn Williams’s pieces based on English folk tunes, the early twentieth century English woman composer Rebecca Clarke’s Sonata for viola and piano, and Brian Elias’s L'innominata.

Theatre group to celebrate its 40 year anniversary SONG is to celebrate its 40th birthday by putting on West Side Story.

This is a special milestone for Southport's award winning youth musical theatre group.

In 1979 Clive and Jean Morris, with the help of others with the same vision, formed a group for enthusiastic and talented young people, interested in musical theatre, as the junior section of the Southport Amateur Operatic Society (now Southport Spotlights).

SONG has recently received an Award for Best Youth Production for their production last year of All Shook Up at the NODA NW District 6 Awards Evening.

A spokesperson for SONG said: “SONG is run by a small but dedicated committee of volunteers, whose reward is to watch these young and talented performers achieve their dreams on the stage and to reach their potential.

“The group is proud that its aims have always centred around performance and musical excellence, to give its members the best possible experience of musical theatre and its disciplines, whilst assisted by professional production teams.

“Whichever path these young people decide to follow in the future, the confidence and team building skills they have learned as members of SONG will stand them in good stead.”

West Side Story, which takes to the stage at The Atkinson Southport from April 11 to 13 is SONG's 40th

birthday production and is its most ambitious show to date.

Karen Edge is the director and a previous member of SONG, who has directed many past SONG productions.

Choreographer Victoria Harrocks and musical director, Charles Moss, have also both worked with SONG in the past.

All three are well known to Southport audiences.

Tickets are available from the theatre online @theatkinson.co.uk, or from the box office. 01704 533333 (Tickets £15 eve. £13 matinee).

Over the past 40 years, starting with its The Boyfriend in 1980 and up to the current production of West Side Story, The Atkinson (formerly Southport Arts Centre) has been SONG's theatrical home for its major productions and it is always a wonderful opportunity for SONG members to perform on its stage.

For this special 40th celebration they are looking forward to welcoming back to Southport, and to the show, those who have been associated with SONG in the past, whether as cast members, committee, production teams or backstage crews.

Belonging to the SONG family has always been very special, with lasting friendships created and many fantastic memories to share.

If you have been connected with SONG in the past, contact Linda (SONG secretary) on 07720784757.

MOTORS

Nineties nostalgia is all the rage now so the Probe has become compelling on the excellent Coogan’s Run killed its street cred in an instant. It also arrived just as two-door coupés were all the rage, so it had a lot of competition; not just from obvious rivals like Vauxhall’s Calibra, but real eye-grabbers like the Alfa GTV and Fiat Coupé too.

But look at one now, when there are fewer than 500 left on the UK’s roads – making it a far rarer beast than the Capri – and with Nineties nostalgia

all the rage, and there’s something really compelling about it. For starters, if you get the 24-valve version you have a silky, 2.5-litre V6 beneath the bonnet, delivering mid-range torque in a way that the turbocharged three-cylinder engines of today just can’t match. For me, the thing I love about the Probe is the way it looks, with those full-width rear lights and concept car profile.

And pop-up headlights, of course. Any car with

pop-up headlights is, I’ve always thought, automatically cool simply on account of having them. Why can’t we bring them back?

The Probe might have had a silly name, an unfortunate on-screen fan and the misfortune of following a motoring cult hero, but I reckon its time has finally come.

I’m just glad that Instagram – rather than Gareth Cheeseman - seems to agree.

I’M NOT sure if Gareth Cheeseman – the egocentric salesman character created by Steve Coogan years ago – reads The Champion, but he’ll be delighted by this week’s revelation if he does. The Ford Probe is a classic car.

Yes, the Ford Probe. Remember it?

It was the Nineties’ belated follow-up to the Capri, but for all sorts of reasons it never really caught on in the same way that the automotive star of The Professionals did.

After just three years and a little over 15,000 sales it was quietly dropped in the UK, making way for the Mondeo-based Cougar that arrived just a few months later.

That was way back in 1997, but 22 years on the Probe seems to get an excitable flurry of likes and retweets every time it pops up online.

It many ways it was entirely the wrong car to follow up the Capri – it was front-wheel-drive, so any cheeky opportunities of getting the tail out on wet roundabouts were dashed from the off, and its TV appearances with the aforementioned Cheeseman

Bucks beat Barlick to make it 16 wins on the bounce Barnoldswick Town 0 Bootle 1 RYAN Cox’s first-half goal was enough to help Bootle make it 16 wins on the bounce after they overcame Barnoldswick Town, writes Connor O’Neill.

The win leaves them just two points behind North West Counties premier league leaders City of Liverpool FC but having played one game more.

In truth, it could and probably should have been more, with Joe Doran’s side wasting of a host of chances in either half.

But the manner in which the Bucks dug in deep to get themselves over the line was more than impressive.

Bootle came into the game knowing that the slightest slip-up would all but end their hopes of catching current league-leaders City of Liverpool, but any potential nerves were eased on nine minutes when Cox fired his side ahead.

A long ball over the top was collected by the forward before he instinctively let fly with an effort that found the bottom corner of the net from 25-yards out.

Further chances followed for Doran's side, with Ryan Livesey in the Barlick denying Cox - before Ste Jones and Carl Peers both fired over.

The hosts were then reduced to

ten men on 30 minutes after Samuel Anankwaa was shown a straight red card for an off the ball incident.

But to their credit, Matt Barnes' side responded well to going down to ten men with Zach Dale twice testing Ryan Jones in the Bootle goal before the first-half was out.

The second-half, however, was all one-way traffic, with Livesey denying Jones in the opening stages - before Cox headed Michael Carberry's cross over.

Livesey then denied Peers with his foot - before the former Maine Road keeper produced a superb flying save to tip Cox’s effort over the bar.

The Bucks' best chance of the second period fell the way of Jamie Clark.

Liam Loughlin released Kieran Halligan down the right, before the full-back crossed for the unmarked Clark, but despite having the goal at his mercy, the midfielder somehow side-footed the ball wide from 12-yards out.

Barlick continued to battle hard, and their efforts were nearly rewarded in the dying stages.

Zak Dale managed to find some space on the edge of the box before letting fly with a rightfooted driven effort that was superbly pushed over the bar by Jones.

Super sub Murray strikes for Marine Gainsborough Trinity 0 Marine 1 SUBSTITUTE James Murray scored the only goal of the game as Marine recorded an impressive away win against fifth place Gainsborough Trinity.

Murray had only been on the pitch for two minutes when he latched onto Craig Carney's low cross before firing into the roof of the net.

The first half saw few clear chances at either end, although the assistant referee's offside flag ruled out an Ashley Worsfold effort for the home side that had found the net off the inside of the post.

Anthony Wilson had a James Murray’s strike ripples the net for the only goal of the game.

Late goal agony for Remyca

Lack of firepower proves costly for Maghull

Winsford United 2 Litherland Remyca 1

Rainhill Town 2 Maghull 1

REMYCA were denied a hardearned point after conceding a late winner against Winsford Town.

Paul Foy opened the scoring for Remyca after only seven minutes when he finished following a clever piece of skill from Jamie

Colbourne.

The home side equalised on the half hour mark through a debut goal for Da Silva, and both sides went into half time level.

Remyca struggled in the second half to create clear cut chances, and Winsford broke in the final minutes to score the winner through Sam Madeley.

TWO weeks ago Maghull visited the JMO Sports Centre in Skelmersdale and were dumped out of the West Cheshire League’s Pyke Cup by the odd goal in three by Redgate Rovers, and last Saturday they returned to the same venue for a league

game and suffered the same result against a good Rainhill Town side.

It was a disappointing result for Maghull who deserved at least a point in a much improved performance compared to the previous visit.

But two defensive mistakes and a lack of firepower in attack proved costly for Maghull who have now lost

their last four games. Christian Stewart was on target for Maghull.

After a goalless first half the youthful Maghull Reserves turned in another impressive second half display overcoming Litherland Remyca 3-0 at Old Hall Field.

Jordan Holmes, David Lynch and Michael Cummins were on the scoresheet for

Maghull but the highlight of the contest was the performance of youngsters Connor Rankin Sam Lawrenson and debutant Nick Sutton.

Next Saturday Maghull host Vauxhall Motors Reserves in the West Cheshire League First Division while the Reserves faced a tough test when they travel to second league leaders Page Celtic.

Coach wants Waterloo to be more clinical Firwood Waterloo 18 Blackburn 23 FIRWOOD Waterloo suffered an 18-23 loss at the hands of second-place Blackburn at Blundellsands on Saturday.

The Merseysiders, who had won three of their last five games, put in another impressive display despite the defeat.

“It was a really close game all the way through.

“It was very physical and they probably got the win because they were a bit more clinical than us,” revealed Director of Rugby Stuart Turner.

“We had three or four opportunities to score more tries and we didn't. They are one of the best teams in the league because they find a way to win.

“But overall there are lots of positives we can take from today's performance.”

Unconverted tries from fly-half Marc Maher and lock Corey Logan early on had initially given the visitors a 10-0 lead before Firwood Waterloo narrowed the deficit before half-time through Will Church after 26 minutes.

The hosts stole the ball from Burn's lineout from inside the away sides 22 and charged towards the line with purpose before the flanker spotted a gap

Clare House, 166 Lord Street, Southport PR9 0QA

and forced himself over the whitewash.

In the second half, Sam Gale put the visitors further ahead with a clinical finish before back-row Alex Tennev responded for the hosts, finishing between the posts after 56 minutes.

Fullback Darragh O'Brien then added the extras, 12-15.

Number 8 Gale then scored his second and Burn’s fourth try, again unconverted, to secure the try-scoring bonus-point for the play-off hopefuls.

O’Brien and Maher then exchanged penalties before another three-pointer from the Firwood Waterloo kicker with the final kick of the game rescued the

hosts an important losing bonus-point.

Turner was pleased to rescue a point but is now already turned his attention to next week when the Merseysiders travel to Stockport.

“It was very important for us to rescue a point but we need to take this into our next game.

“Stockport is always a challenge, they are a big physical side who are difficult to deal with especially when playing at their place.

“We’ve got a few things to work on but if we can be more clinical we know we can go and get something out of the game.”

ADVERTISING FEATURE

Terena is a lady of distinction!

Terena McCartan joined West Lancashire College 2 years ago after a health scare made her re-evaluate her life and led to her following her dreams.

After receiving a college Course Guide in the Champion, Terena decided it was time for her to do something she’d always wanted to do for herself and joined the Hairdressing Level 2 course in the evening. She is now in her second year and studying the Level 3 advanced course, and has received Distinctions in all her course units.

Terena said “I’d always wanted to do hairdressing and after a health issue I thought it would give it a go. I was nervous going back to college at first and thought it would be all younger students, however there were people of all ages on the course and the support and encouragement I received from the tutors was amazing.

I attend college two nights per week, and with a full time job it can be intense, but I love it! My Tutors Alison and Emma are fabulous, they always have time for me and if it wasn’t for their passion and showing me I can do it I couldn’t have achieved what I have so far.”

Terena added “In the future I would like to grow my clients as a mobile Hairdresser and I want to be that Hairdresser that people can trust and never want to leave!

I would recommend anyone to do the course, no matter what their age or previous experience. Joining the Hairdressing course at West Lancashire College has been a great decision for me and I look forward to my future.”

If you wish to be like Terena and start your career as a Hairdresser, West Lancashire College has a course for you. Whether you have just left school, or are an adult wishing to retrain, there are full and part-time study options available in the day or evening.
