CHURCH-GOERS preparing for the 60th anniversary of their place of worship, were devastated to discover mindless yobs had broken into and trashed the building.

The intruders, who used a spade to break through a back door at St Mark’s in Netherton, ransacked the church and wrote explicit graffiti on the walls.

They smashed items that had been donated for the church’s anniversary and even emptied tins of biscuits over the floor and trampled on them.

Shocked locals turned up for their weekly coffee morning at St Mark’s on Wednesday, May 29 to discover the damage.

It is thought the intruders could have struck at the church, in Dartmouth Drive, any time following a service there on Sunday, May 26 as the building had been unoccupied between those dates.

Although nothing has been reported stolen, what has made the break-in even more devastating for congregation members is that St Mark’s is due to celebrate 60 years of serving the Netherton community with a family fair in July - but all the items donated for the event such as

Mindless yobs left trail of wreckage and daubed obscene graffiti over walls - they even smashed items which had been donated for 60th anniversary celebrations

St Mark's Church

gift sets and vases were destroyed.

They are now hoping to raise money to replace the items so the event can still goahead.

A coffee morning regular who was one of the first to discover the break-in told the Champion: “They (the intruders) have used a big spade to get through the

back door and then smash everything up.

They didn’t leave a thing untouched and they've wrecked vases, cups and gifts donated for our anniversary event. They even emptied a load of biscuits on the floor and then just trampled all over them.

MOTORISTS in Sefton are being urged to stop ‘car idling’ as part of a new campaign by Sefton Council to help protect the environment.

The local authority has launched an anti-idling campaign, which begins today (Wednesday, June 5), to coincide with World Environment Day. Idling refers to running a vehicle's engine when it’s not in motion – typically when stopped a red lights or parking for a short length of time.

It causes air pollution and releases harmful gases into the air that can have a negative impact on health and can cause serious consequences for vulnerable people living with lung conditions such as asthma.

The council say they want to pro- Motorists are being urged to stop car idling mote clean air initiatives to protect the health and wellbeing of residents and improve ents to make a positive behaviour change that will improve the environment and even save them the quality of air in the borough.

The campaign will focus on hotspot areas such as money in the long run.”

Cllr Paulette Lappin, Sefton Council’s Cabinet schools where car idling is common and will also target taxi and bus drivers who often leave car Member for Regulation and Compliance added: “Car idling is a particular problem around schools engines running while waiting for passengers.

Cllr Ian Moncur, Sefton Council’s Cabinet Member as parents pick their children up and drop them for Health and Wellbeing said: “An idling engine can off.

“This is not only a waste of fuel but also threatens release as much pollution into the air as a moving the health of the children who use the roads to get one.

“Air pollution is a major threat to public health to school.

“I urge parents and other idling-offenders like taxi and by turning off your car engine while waiting in your car you can help make a big difference to the and bus drivers to switch their engines off the next quality of air in Sefton. This campaign will help to time they’re waiting for their passenger and make a raise awareness of this issue and encourage resid- difference to air quality in Sefton.”

“I just hope we can still continue with our 60th anniversary plans and we can replace the items which were destroyed. We might have to reach out to the community or start an online fundraiser to make sure it can goahead.”

A spokesperson for Merseyside Police said: “We are appealing for information following a burglary at a church in Netherton. Damage was

Pampered pooch rides again.. thanks to Bootle business A PAMPERED pooch who has become well-known in Liverpool for riding along in a bike basket with her owner has been given a treat by a Bootle business.

The Staffordshire Bull Terrier, called Princess Cleopatra Superchill, is dressed up by owner Anthony Welsh and paraded around the city on his bike and they appear at charity events and fundraisers.

But it all came to a halt when thieves stole their bike.

Now, Bootle-based The Old Griffin Antiques and Collectables, on Derby Road has stepped in to help after boss, Paul Nichols, heard about what happened and gave a £315 donation so Anthony could replace the stolen bike.

Paul, general manager at the antiques shop, said: “The nasty people who stole Princess Cleopatra Superchill's bike haven't won because The Old Griffin Antiques and Collectables have helped them.

Their new bike will allow them to continue their travels and the fant-

Report by Tom Martin astic work they both do together. It’s such as a shame that this happened to them but we were happy to help out.”

Known as ‘Britain’s most pampered pooch’, Princess Cleopatra Superchill hit the national headlines last year for her extravagant lifestlye.

Anthony claims to have spent a staggering £40,000 on the beloved pet pooch over the years, including £1,000 on a party to mark her seventh birthday.

The dog is said to have an extensive wardrobe, comprising 65 different ensembles and 175 pairs of sunglasses.

She has become popular with locals over the years, and many Liverpool fans will recognise the dog from outside Anfield stadium when she performs tricks on matchdays.

Curtis triumphs at Chemistry Olympiad From page 1

Run annually, the Olympiad is an opportunity for teachers to challenge their students, helping them to develop creative thinking and apply their existing knowledge in new and interesting contexts.

Firstly, Curtis was awarded a silver award for the Chemistry Olympiad which involved taking part in an online competition made up of a written test that challenged him to use his chemical knowledge to solve real-world problems. The test questions aimed to stimulate debate and raise awareness of how chemistry can be applied.

Secondly, Curtis was awarded a gold award for the Biology Olympiad which involved different challenges designed to test Curtis’ knowledge.

Curtis said:“I still can’t believe I achieved both gold and silver awards. I worked really hard and enjoyed the challenges that both Olympiad’s presented me.

“I like to try and test myself and push myself to learn new things

that will help me down the line when I start studying my degree.

“I would also like to mention the support and tutoring given by the staff at the Hugh Baird College Sixth Form Centre. It really has been a great place for me to learn and develop and I’ve enjoyed lots of different learning opportunities.”

Ruth Mead, Hugh Baird College Alevel Chemistry Tutor added: “The Chemistry Olympiad is a very stiff test for sixth form students. The students have to sit an extremely challenging two-hour exam at the end of their final year at College.

“They also have to work very quickly in the given timescale. Taking part in the Chemistry Olympiad has challenged not only Curtis but all students involved and it has helped prepare all students for their final exam.

“Curtis’ silver award is testament to his impressive intellect and is a reflection of his drive and motivation to understand complex chemical principles and concepts.”

Locals sow the seeds at the new wildflower meadow.

Locals sow the seeds of new wildflower meadow Report by Tom Martin MORE than 150 people gathered to sow the first seeds of a huge wildflower meadow on Rimrose Valley Country Park.

The latest phase on work to create the new addition to the park was carried out on Tuesday, May 28 when locals played their part by planting seeds.

This was after the ground was prepared and mechanically sown by Maghull farmer, Dave Roughley.

Joining the large group of local residents was Jazz trio, ‘The Jubilee Stompers’ who played as people walked and scattered seed across the ‘Chaffers Field’ section of the park.

The wildflower meadow has been created following a crowd-funding scheme, called the Bees, Blooms & Butterflies campaign, which raised more than £4,600 in just over three weeks, with public donations totalling over £1,800 and the remainder coming from two corporate sponsors; the Esmée Fairbairn Foundation and Idverde UK. Expected to be in bloom by August, the meadow is set to become an important, new habitat for bees

and other insects and to be a visual spectacle on a previously overgrown section of the park.

The project was planned and supervised by Richard Scott from the National Wildflower Centre.

Project Leader, Linda Gaskell said: “I’m delighted at what we’ve been able to achieve in such a short space of time.

“We couldn’t have done it without the incredible public support we received which helped us attract the backing of the corporate sponsors.

“We want the meadow to become a symbol of how much Rimrose means to local people and to send another message to Highways England about how unwelcome its road is.

“We are calling on those in power to see the madness of destroying this beautiful space and demand that plans for the road be scrapped.”

Speaking on behalf of Sefton Council, Cllr Michael Roche said: “This project has been a huge success and is something Sefton Council have been happy to support.

“Having seen what has been achieved, councillors are now considering extending the project next year with a half mile long, 50 meter wide strip in the adjacent field alongside Queensway allotments”

Community hut to be expanded by council

An artist's impression of the new hut

Report by Tom Martin SEFTON Council is set to give a green light for work to be carried out on expanding a community hut in Bootle’s South Park so even more groups can hold activities.

A planning application will be discussed by the local authority at a Planning Committee meeting tonight (Wednesday, June 5) when the proposal is expected to be given the go-ahead.

Sefton Council want to upgrade The

The existing community hut in South Park

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 report by the council published ahead of the meeting has recommended the plan for approval.

It states: “The existing hut is used by ‘Friends of South Park and Kings Gardens’ as an all-weather meeting space and as a base for activities such as gardening, litter picking and fruit and vegetable growing on the adjacent allotments.

“The proposal to extend the hut for the benefit of various community groups would enhance an already valuable asset which is compatible with the wider use of the park. “Furthermore, the hut would remain the only built facility in the park and does not encroach on the park’s main useable ‘open’ spaces, facilities or pitches. “It would provide environmental enhancements and a range of social benefits for the local community. “The proposal is sustainable development which accords with local and national policy and is thus recommended for approval.�

Strand hail fundraiser as a huge success A FUNDRAISER at The Strand Shopping Centre has been hailed as a huge success by organisers.

One Great Day took place at the Bootle centre on Wednesday, May 29 when a number of events were held to support Great Ormond Street Hospital and Zoe’s Place.

Shoppers, retailers and staff from The Strand joined forces to raise money through a toy tombola and Scoot-fit disco which had both children and adults getting involved.

In Mons Square there was cosmic fun with a rocket making workshop, and meet and greets with an astronaut complete with a space satellite model.

Rowland Parry, The Strand’s centre manager said: “We were delighted with the turn out and it was brilliant to see so many shoppers and retailers coming together for two very worthy causes. I would like to thank the Scoot- fit and the Luna astronaut team who came to make a very special day even more memorable.�

Natasha Baggaley, the Corporate and Events fundraiser at Zoe’s Place added: “We are really excited to have the support of The Strand, Bootle for another year supporting ZoÍ’s Place

Vicky said: “An Evening of Dance was something a bit different for us and I’m delighted to say it went down a storm with the audience who seemed to appreciate the eclectic mix of music and styles. “Once again, everyone was amazed at the talent of our members, and the real emotion they managed to convey in their performances. “It was another wonderful showcase for New Centre Stage, and I would like

to pay tribute to everyone involved, and thank them for all their hard work.�

The show is the latest in a series of successful productions by the group which this year have included a memorial performance for the victims of the Holocaust.

Members are now working towards two festival appearances in June, and their next big production later in the year will be their take on hit 2017 circus movie The Greatest Showman.

We would like to say a huge thank you to everyone who puts in all the hard work to make this possible.

Thank you.�

The Strand management team will be continuing their fundraising efforts next month as they climb Mount Snowdon for the One Great Day cause.

YOUR KITCHEN TRANSFORMED

Talented drama group put on action-packed show TALENTED members of a Bootle-based drama company made all the right moves when they presented their latest dance production.

The show, called An Evening of Dance, featured a cast of around 20 performers who belong to the New Centre Stage drama group, run by adult social care provider New Directions.

It was presented in the group’s studio theatre at the David Brown Centre, on Magdalen Square, in Netherton.

The packed programme of solo, duo and group pieces featured a wide range of styles from contemporary dance to the 1920s American Lindy Hop and even robot dancing.

And there was a similar breadth to the music the performers danced to which ranged from opera favourite O Sole Mio to the theme from Harry Potter and songs from the Barry Manilow musical Copacabana.

The company also reprised two numbers they performed at the recent walkthrough production of The Alice Experience at Liverpool’s St George’s Hall in which they appeared as playing cards.

The show was directed by New Centre Stage Activity Lead Vicky Bennett and colleagues Denise Airey and Veronica Morrison.

The One Great Day organisers

The cast of more than 30 children and adults were delighted to meet the new Mayor of Sefton Cllr June Burns before they went on stage to entertain a sell-out audience.

Cllr Burns recently replaced Cllr Dave Robinson in the role of Mayor of Sefton and this was her first official engagement.

Euro champs make it Repeat drink-driver banned from road for 12 months a red letter day for ton-up birthday ‘girl’ A BOOTLE man has appeared in court for drink driving for the third time.

Terence Byrne, 46, of Hawthorne Road, pleaded guilty to driving with 41 micrograms of alcohol per 100ml of breath, and also to driving without insurance, when he appeared at Sefton Magistrates Court on May 22. The drink-drive legal limit is 35 mcg/l.

Debbie Byrne, prosecuting, said that police pulled him over on Olivia Street, Bootle, at 1.30pm on May 1 for checks on his insurance.

It was confirmed at the road side that he was not insured, Mrs Byrne said, and officers also detected the smell of alcohol. After failing a roadside breath test he was taken to Wirral Police Station for further tests.

The court heard that Byrne had “historic” convic-

tions for drink driving from 2006 and 1998. He was last before the court in 2015 for the unauthorised sale of football tickets, the prosecutor said.

Representing himself Byrne said that he had bought the car less than 24 hours before being stopped and was about to get it insured.

“I was looking around for insurance,” he said, “I could have caused an accident and I am sorry. I've now lost the car. It was my own fault. I had been drinking the night before and did not realise that it could still be on my breath.”

The magistrates fined him £120, ordered that he pay costs and victim surcharge of £115, and banned him from driving for 12 months. They emphasised that they were not offering him the drink-drive awareness course which would have reduced the ban by a quarter.

Body found was man who fell in sea in Wales

Edna showing her cards from LFC and the Queen along with family Carole (left) and siblings Fred (centre), Keith and Lisa.

Report by Kenny Parker LIVERPOOL FC were celebrating more than just the Champion League win this weekend as Bootle born Reds fan Edna Wither also received a personalised greeting from the club to wish her all the best on her 100th birthday.

Edna received the surprise birthday card from the club signed by all the players along with a customary message from the Queen.

The centenarian celebrated her birthday with more than 75 members of friends and family, some of whom had come from the USA, Canada and the Dominican Republic, at Hurlston Hall, Scarisbrick, on Sunday June 2. This was the day her team enjoyed a victory parade through Liverpool.

Edna was originally from Bootle and moved to Ormskirk after the Second World War, during which she met her husband Fred. She worked as a radio operator during the conflict, informing gunners where enemy aircraft were. Fred, who came from Scotland served as a gunner.

Fred died 22 years ago and the couple had four children and five grandchildren. Now Edna has 13 great grandchildren with another one on the way.

Daughter Carole Watling says that Edna, who still lives independently in Ormskirk, enjoys getting out and about, has the occasional brandy, and likes to spend time with the family.

She puts her longevity down to luck. However, Carole says it seems to run in the family. “Her father died when he was 90 and that was a good age then,” Carole said. “So maybe it’s in the genes.” kenny.parker@champnews.com

Cocaine street dealer in court A BOOTLE man has admitted street dealing in cocaine.

Michael Kelly, 32, of Stanley Road, Bootle, pleaded guilty to possession of cocaine with intent to supply when he appeared at Sefton Magistrates Court on May 29.

The court heard that police stopped a vehicle on Marsh Lane, Bootle, on August 21 of last year.

Lynn Clark, prosecuting

said: “This is a case of street dealing in cocaine. The officers believe they saw what they believed to be a drug transaction.

“The defendant is the driver of the vehicle which is searched. The cocaine found is valued between £292 and £731. There is a search of his phone and his home address where scales and a tick list is found. £2,000 in cash is seized

from his home address.”

Miss Clark said that the magistrates court’s powers were not sufficient to sentence Kelly and that the matter should be sent to the crown court.

Granted him unconditional bail and ordering apre-sentence probation report the magistrates told Kelly to appear at Liverpool Crown Court on July 26.

Offender defrauds store with used receipts A COURT has heard how a man defrauded Bootle Asda store by taking items from the shelves and then getting a ‘refund’ for them using an old receipt.

As Paul Jones, 39, of Bank Road, Bootle, appeared at Sefton Magistrates Court on May 29, it was heard that on the afternoon of March 1 he aroused suspicions of Bootle Asda store staff “due to his strange behaviour ”. He was seen to select numerous grocery and household items from the shelves and place them in his trolley.

Sophie Leyland, prosecuting, said that he then paid for some of the items at a paypoint before going over to the customer service desk.

“He made a request for a refund from an old receipt to the value of £58.99,” Miss Leyland said, “He then made his way to the store exit where he was stopped by security staff and detained for fraud.”

Jones pleaded guilty to fraud by false representation. However, he pleaded not guilty to a charge of assaulting an Asda staff member and a trial was set to be heard at Wirral Magistrates Court on July 25.

He will be sentenced for the fraud offence following the assault trial.

Solicitor Keith Webster apologised to the court on Jones’s behalf as Jones had turned up to the hearing wearing short trousers.

A BODY found at the dock in Bootle was a man who fell into the sea in Wales three months ago.

Steven Lee Ancill, 46, (pictured right) was reported missing in February and it was believed he fell from a cliff at Great Orme in Llandudno.

A search was carried out of the Irish Sea but no body was recovered, but specialist divers claimed at the time he could eventually be found washed up along the coast.

On May 3, emergency services were called to an area of the Bootle dock near Gladstone Dock after a body was found.

A wallet was found on his person containing his bank card and driving licence but Mr Ancill had to be identified by a forensic odontologist who specialises in analysing dental records.

There is currently an inquest taking place in Ruthin into Mr Ancill’s death.

Charity marks 20 years of serving town’s community Report by Tom Martin A BOOTLE charity is set to mark 20 years of supporting older residents in the community – and locals are invited to help celebrate!

Sefton OPERA (Older Persons Enabling Resource and Action) will hold a special event on Monday, June 10 at 1.30pm at Bootle Cricket Club, when they will mark the anniversary with live music and entertainment.

When the charity was set-up in 1999 after funding from social services, it was expected to last no more than six months.

However, two decades later and it is still going strong and based from St Matthew’s Church, on Stanley Road. They continue to offer support to older members of society.

Sefton OPERA and their volunteers, called the Bootle Belles, provide health and wellbeing activities to local older people across Sefton seeking to improve their quality of life, while helping to reduce the health inequalities for those most disadvantaged.

Ann Mardell, from Sefton OPERA said: “I started OPERA with funding from Social Services which was to last six months. We have had romances and weddings, awards and accolades and many more. I was even fortunate to be awarded Merseyside’s Women of the Year.

“Three years ago I went to a garden party at Buckingham Palace for my charity work, which was one of the highlights of my life.

“I was told when I started OPERA that I’d be lucky if it lasted seven years. Well it’s lasted 20 years and I’m sure this is due to the excellent staff,

Finn celebrates success of his cancer treatment by scoring in cup final!

YOUNGSTER Finn McEwen celebrated the wonderful news that his treatment for cancer had been successful by scoring a goal in his football team’s cup final victory!

The 11-year-old was told last week by doctors at the Royal Manchester Children’s Hospital that the Myelodysplastic syndrome which he was first diagnosed with in 2015 had been successfully treated.

The Champion reported how Finn was given a life-saving stem cell transplant in 2015 after a nation-wide donor search found a match in the form of Norfolk lorry driver Russell Webb.

He now no longer needs any further treatment or check-ups as the blood cancer is completely cured – but Finn hardly had time to celebrate as his football team, Silcox Villa JFC, had a Hightown Cup Final to prepare for!

And to cap off an incredible week for the family, Finn, from Litherland, managed to get himself on the scoresheet to help his team win 53 in a moment which his mum, Carole McEwen, said was “written in the stars.”

She said: “At Finn’s post bone marrow transplant check-up at the Royal Manchester Children’s hospital last week, his consultant, the amazing Professor Rob Wynn, commented on how well he looked and then told him he had something important to say - ‘you’ve done amazingly well and I’m discharging you'.

“Overwhelmed but confused I asked if we had to attend clinics at Alder Hey and he said no because he’s cured and it’s over!

“And at that I got the biggest lump in my throat as I struggled to thank him - the most unbelievable, unexpected and wonderful words I’d ever heard.

“Then in a week that kept on giving, our hero, Russell Webb, Finn’s donor, drove up from Norfolk to see Finn and his football team Silcox Villa

Finn McEwen

JFC play in the final of the Hightown Cup. “I think it must have been written in the stars that his team would win and that he would score!”

Silcox Villa JFC coach Peter O’Brien said: “There’s been some dark days over the past four years but this kid has the heart of a lion and, at the final whistle, his team mates spontaneously went over and threw him in the air - what an end to this story!”

Carole added: “As a family we would like to take this opportunity to thank the club, the community and everyone who has supported us and followed Finn’s story.

“All those who registered as a result of the donor drives, the many charities who helped to keep Finn’s spirits up during a long recovery and of course Russell - his lifesaver.”

College hosts careers day for aspiring students HUGH Baird College held their annual Careers and Wellbeing Fair so students could get advice on their future prospects.

Siemens, Everton in the Community, HMRC, The Army, Asda and The Samaritans were just some of the big names in attendance.

The organisations helped by advising students on the type of roles available to them within their companies and also highlighted the current employment and voluntary opportunities they could consider and apply for.

The Careers and Wellbeing Fair assisted students to think about their next steps and raised aspirations with groups in attendance from the 14-16 College, South Sefton campus which is home to

the college’s A-level provision and undergraduates of the Hugh Baird University Centre.

Kelly Shannon, Hugh Baird College retention and progression co-ordinator, said: “The Careers and Wellbeing Fair is an invaluable and exciting opportunity for all our students to meet with a range of companies and organisations across a number of sectors. Our aim is to help our students as they plan their next steps, whether it’s employment, an apprenticeship or further study.

“It was great to see so many of our students in attendance and we’d like to thank all the employers who took time out of their busy schedules to provide our students with valuable information and opportunities.”

PLANS to turn the former Old Roan pub into a Turkish restaurant have been approved by Sefton Council.

The Champion reported in November how the closed-down building on Copy Lane was targeted by the owners of Anar Turkish BBQ Restaurant, who have an eaterie in Liverpool.

Anar is described as a family owned restaurant business which offers “a variety of Mediterranean and Turkish dishes, all served within a comfortable, warm setting.”

A report published by Sefton Council following the decision states: “The building is in need of renovation and it is welcomed that it will be retained as part of the current proposals.

“The former hotel has not been subject to any requests for nomination as a Community Asset.

“A full public consultation exercise was carried out and the outcome of this is one of broad support for the proposals.”

The Old Roan pub closed in 2013 and some residents welcomed the move following complaints of late night noise, anti-social behaviour at the pub.

There have been a number of false dawns since then when locals thought the former pub would be transformed, most recently when plans were submitted to turn the building into shops, but this proposal fell through.

Anar Turkish BBQ Restaurant say they will renovate the pub “to a high standard” and the design will

be similar to their restaurant in Liverpool.

A planning application submitted on the company's behalf states: “The current building is abandoned and in desperate need of repairs and a renovation, which the client is willing to undertake.

Since the building is well established in the local area, the client seeks to retain the existing building and add a modern dining area to the main building.

“The restaurant provides a renewed vitality and life back into this popular and well known landmark.”

The plans involve building an extension at the side of the existing building to make room for 166 customer seats and the creation of a car park for 34 vehicles.

The applicant adds that much of the current site is overgrown and would be remodelled to provide additional parking.

New colourful planting and trees will be added around the building “to help soften the boundaries and provide an attractive visual landmark.”

One year after man gunned down police issue fresh appeal Report by Tom Martin THIS week will mark one year since Miguel Reynolds was gunned down in Netherton – and police are using the 12 month anniversary of his death to issue a fresh appeal for information about his murder.

The 21-year-old was shot on Thursday, June 7 at around 8pm on Assissian Crescent and suffered a fatal gunshot wound to his neck.

Detectives believe that an earlier shooting, also with a handgun, in Marie Curie Avenue is linked to the murder investigation.

A number of men and women have been arrested and remain under investigation in connection with the murder and an extensive investigation continues.

Officers remain keen to speak to anyone who may have information about the incident and would urge those individuals to come forward.

Detective Chief Inspector Ian Warlow said: “It has now been a year since Miguel was brutally murdered and while we have made significant progress in our investigation, we are still asking for anyone with information to contact us.

“Miguel’s family continue to suffer his loss every day and we are determined to give them the results they deserve and bring those involved in this horrific crime to justice.

“The shooting occurred in Assissian Crescent, a residential area on a light summer’s night in June so we know a number of people must have heard or seen something.

“The public and local community have been a great assistance so far which I would like to thank them but I would ask you once again to cast your mind back and try to recall any suspicious behaviour, no matter how trivial it may have seemed at the time, and come forward to police.

Miguel Reynolds

“We are particularly keen to speak to anyone who may have witnessed males, some on foot and some riding mountain bikes, in the area of Harrops Croft estate and the canal path shortly after 8pm on the 7 June.

“We are also keen to speak to anyone who saw a small fire and males in the area of the sports field adjacent to Harrops Croft estate shortly after 8pm.

“Violence on our streets is unacceptable and gun crime will not be tolerated by Merseyside Police. I would like to reassure the community that we are pursuing a number of lines of enquiry and continue to do everything we can to put those involved in Miguel’s death behind bars.”

Anyone with information on the incident is asked to contact Merseyside Police via Twitter @MerPolCC or Facebook Merseyside Police CC. You can also call 101 quoting reference 18200118111 or call Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.

Two arrested over targeted stabbing at playing field TWO men from Anfield have been arrested after a man was stabbed on a playing field in Netherton.

The Champion reported last week how a 23-year-old was attacked with a “bladed weapon” on a field off Carlisle Avenue at around 4.45pm on Sunday, May

26. He suffered injuries to his back, chest and hands following the incident and police said they believed it was a targeted attack.

On Wednesday, May 29, two men, both aged 21, and from the L4 area in Anfield, were arrested on suspicion of s18 assault.

Detective Inspector Gary Stratton said: “This was a shocking incident which happened in broad daylight on public playing fields.

“Families in the area should not have to put up with incidents like these happening on their doorsteps and I want to reassure them

we are committed to finding the person or people responsible and bringing them to justice.”

Anyone with information is asked to DM @MerPolCC, call 101 or contact Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111 quoting log 618 of May 26.

A MAN from Waterloo has been charged in connection to a city-centre drugs supply operation.

Leo Benain, 22, of York Street, Waterloo, has been charged with possession of an Section 5 firearm and possession of a controlled drug as part of a wide-scale police crackdown on drugs being sold to people on nights-out in Liverpool.

It follows early morning raids in Wavertree and Toxteth on Thursday, May 30 when police targeted individuals thought to be involved in a city centre drugs supply.

Along with Benain, three other people were also charged with different offences – and four other men have been released under investigation.

In total, 23 people have now been arrested as part of the eight-month investigation, and of the 23, 17 have been charged with drug supply/conspiracy offences.

In addition to the arrests, a Taser, $8,000 and a small amount of Class A drugs were recovered.

The investigation focuses around the areas of Concert Square, Slater Street, Fleet Street, St Peters Square and Wood Street.

Superintendent Mark Wiggins said: “The action taken by officers is the latest stage in a lengthy investigation which has involved the gathering of evidence of drug dealing in the busiest areas of Liverpool city centre.

“We have used a range of tactics including high visibility patrols to deter criminal activity in the city centre, and covert policing to catch those who continue to put the safety of clubbers at risk.

“Our operation has targeted both those suspected of directly selling Class A drugs on the street as well as those higher up the chain who have pocketed much of the profits of their illegal enterprise, so that we can cut the supply chain.

“Some people regard taking illicit drugs on a weekend as a bit of fun – but they need to realise they are helping to maintain an industry that requires the use of violence, threats and intimidation to stay in business.

“In many cases, guns have been used to settle petty disputes between drug dealers, and those buying drugs are effectively funding the purchase of those weapons that bring so much harm and fear to the streets of Merseyside.

“My message to those involved in drug dealing in the city centre is that we will continue to take action to target you and you will not know where we are and who we are targeting.”

Possession of indecent videos case goes to Crown A MAN from Brighton-Le-Sands has appeared in court in relation to making indecent videos of children.

Graeme Caldwell, 50, of Warrenhouse Road, was charged with making an indecent photograph of a child at Sefton Magistrates Court on May 29.

The charge states that on June 13 of last year at his home address, he made "four category A videos of a child".

Making of an indecent image can refer to opening, accessing, downloading and storing online content and category A is the most serious of the three categories of image A, B, and C. Caldwell gave no indication of plea to the charge.

Granting him unconditional bail the magistrates sent the matter to Liverpool Crown Court where he was told to appear on June 26.

Parking fines are annoying but cars use up space and people can use other transport

Blitz programme brought back vivid memories

In a recent edition of the Champion a local resident complained about the council raising an income through parking fees.

I can understand how annoying it is to find that in a place where you have been parking all your life, you suddenly are landed with a parking fine.

On the other hand we have to think more thoroughly about how we want to use our public spaces – and the road is a public space.

In my childhood, I was able to play in the streets with the neighbours’ kids like I am sure many of your readers were.

Today ’s children have not got that freedom anymore: the roads are too busy and dangerous and all residential roads are completely parked up with cars everywhere.

The recent TV programme on the Blitz of Liverpool brought back vivid memories for me.

I was seven at the time in May 1941.

My school St Thomas Infants, Thompson Road, Seaforth was bombed and closed.

Some time later the library, in The Crescent, Seaforth took its place.

Anyone out there remember how long we were without schooling?

I remember Miss Quirk and Miss Watson calling at Seaforth Vale, where I lived, to let my mother know when I had to attend at the library.

I also remember helping fellow students to read sitting on benches in Bowersdale Park in the summer of 1941 or 1942.

In September 1942 I started at Christ Church Boys, Melrose Road, Waterloo.

I have no idea whether or not the library continued as a school after that.

As road traffic is increasing and a lot of people also seem to want to also increase the size of their vehicles, we have to have a public debate about how we want to use our public space.

Do we really want to live in a place full of metal boxes all around where pedestrians or cyclists have to fear for their lives and there is no room for our children to play anymore?

Or do we want to maybe start thinking about valuing the space around us – and value in today ’s world is to do with money.

Who says it is a given right that we can park our car anywhere without paying for it?

I am all for discouraging people to take their cars everywhere.

There are alternatives like walking, cycling or

using buses or trains.

And if people do not want to use these, I think it is only fair they should pay for the use of the space their car takes up, because this space is a limited commodity.

I also agree with the council trying to raise some extra cash.

All this money will be spent on services in our community, and at times when the central government grants for local councils are ever decreasing, any extra funding is surely a good thing.

Not talking about death can make it harder to deal with Recent media stories on research by Macmillan Cancer Support shows the pain of not planning for death can leave bereaved loved ones experiencing emotional, financial and/or practical issues as a result of not knowing all of the deceased’s wishes.

Almost one in four people recently bereaved did not know all of the deceased’s wishes and have experienced one or more emotional, financial or practical issues as a result.

Issues included being unsure if the funeral was what the person would have wanted, emotional distress over not knowing what their wishes were and having to front unexpected financial costs following the death.

These were some of the findings from a YouGov survey of over 2,000 adults carried out for Macmillan.

For many people living with cancer, having these things in order can give a sense of control.

But whatever stage of life you are at, tackling the important ‘death admin’ and vital paperwork can help you feel less anxious about the future knowing that your practical and financial affairs are taken care of, so you can get on with living life as fully as you can.

We are therefore urging people to consider their loved ones as well as themselves by talking to them about death and starting to make practical arrangements to help ensure their wishes are carried out.

Things you could chat about include the sort of medical treatment you want at the end, the funeral you’d like, the legacy you want to leave behind and who you want to remember in your will.

Macmillan has information and resources on its website to help tackle the ‘death admin’ including a quiz to find out how ready you are to talk about death, a guide for starting the conversation and a checklist.

Death is sad and hard on people you leave behind.

But talking about it now can stop it being harder than it should be.

Tanya Humphreys, Macmillan head of services - North West England

Hope Tina has a speedy recovery

It’s incredible that 75% of people Bills are rising - as is in Sefton don’t recycle food waste the price of haircuts!

To One Man and His Dog writer Jim Sharpe, Tina and Cinders.

I just want to send best wishes for a speedy recovery for Tina.

Dog lovers everywhere will know how you feel and understand the anxiety it brings when your friend and companion is poorly.

Please keep us posted on her progress.

I find it incredible that 75% of Sefton households do not use the food waste recycling caddies, especially now that it is more or less universally agreed that we must recycle as much waste as possible.

This is an easy contribution to that aim.

In our household we try to waste as little food as possible but inevitably do have vegetable peelings, apple cores, orange and banana peel, plate scraps, etc.

To be able to dispose of this food waste in a dedicated caddy that is small and unobtrusive is a godsend.

Lavinia Bennett, Burscough

The caddy is easy to clean and it means the grey bin stays smell free particularly in summer.

Sefton Council should do more to promote use of this system.

Perhaps a leaflet issued via the Champion extolling the virtues of food caddies and how the waste is converted would be a good start and education through schools, colleges and other institutions.

Today a letter from United Utilities stated my water bill will increase, by 8.25%.

My gas and electricity deal are coming to an end and the best deal I can get will be an increase of 7.55%.

Today a visit to my barber in Hillside, the price of a haircut was £8.50, now it’s up gone to £11, an increase of 39%.

Can anyone better that?

PS, I will now have a lot longer hair.

Salvation Army in volunteer appeal

By Champion Reporter A CHARITY is appealing for more volunteers to help it continue the growing support it offers on a daily basis to the Bootle community.

The Salvation Army, based on Stanley Road, currently has a team of 25 volunteers, but due to increasing numbers using the centre it needs more.

Its current team volunteers, aged between 18 and 82, speak a range of languages and offer their time in the Hope Centre, charity shop, community café and during seasonal activities They also offer a variety of skills to the charity, such as organisational and administrative skills, and their abilities come from a range of sectors including customer service, hospitality and retail.

Catherine Smith, 48, has been volunteering at the Bootle Corps for six years.

She said: “It makes me so emotional thinking back about the support The Salvation Army gave me when I first arrived.

“They provided me with a roof over my head and supported me through a very difficult time in my life so I wanted to give something back.

“I volunteer two days a week at the Bootle Corps where I work in the charity shop, sorting clothes, arranging them in the shop and also price tagging.

“I get to talk to a range of people and share my story and listen to theirs.

“I’ve found everyone has a story to tell and I hope sharing my own experiences and listening will give people hope. Volunteering for The Salvation Army allows me to do that and puts my skills to good use.”

Volunteering opportunities available at The Salvation Army Bootle include supporting the charity shop and community café and the corps welcomes a variety of skills including good communications, computer and organisational skills.

The corps also welcomes volunteers with experience in a variety of sectors including customer service, catering and retail industries.

Merseyrail scraps printing receipts in bid to save 600km of paper each year MERSEYRAIL has stopped automatically printing receipts for customers in the hope of saving up to 600km of wasted paper each year.

Ticket offices will no longer print out lengthy receipts for customers as the rail operator continues its commitment to being more environmentally friendly.

Automatic ticket vending machines will still provide them, and staff will issue

receipts when requested by a passenger.

Each year Merseyrail uses 12,000 rolls of till receipts – enough to stretch from Liverpool to Paris – and most of these are not wanted by the customer and are discarded.

These changes are part of an ongoing commitment to reducing waste and increasing sustainability at Merseyrail, as multiple initiatives are taking place

across the network.

A ‘Carbon Cup’ competition has encouraged staff to save energy across the network in a bid for their station to be crowned Carbon Cup Champion, resulting in huge energy savings.

LED lights have been introduced in several stations across the region, saving energy in areas of higher consumption.

Captain Annette Booth, leader of The Salvation Army Bootle said: “Our community volunteers are a vital part of our work here.

“Whether you have specific skills to offer, have just retired, need to improve your English or are not sure if there is something for you, do pop in and have a chat with us.

“Many of our volunteers discover much more than their initial expectations and find friendship, fulfilment and a whole new sense of worth, as they offer their time to serve our community.”

Volunteering can also be a stepping stone for getting people back into work, needing to gain experience or develop social skills. The Salvation Army Employment Plus Job Club on Tuesday Afternoons also provides further support with training, computer skills and job search.

Anyone interested in supporting the Bootle Corps in a volunteering role are encouraged to visit the centre and speak to Captain Annette Booth or community co-ordinator Alan Roper.

From one hero to another!

Reds skipper made sure war veteran was at final Report by Tom Martin LIVERPOOL captain Jordan Henderson proved to be a hero even before lifting the Champions League trophy last Saturday after he went out his way to get a ticket for a Bootle fan.

Andy Grant, who is a motivational speaker after he became the fastest man with one leg to run a 10km race, first met the Reds skipper after he gave a talk for the England squad ahead of the 2018 World Cup. Struggling to find a ticket for Liverpool's final against Tottenham in Madrid, Andy received a call out of the blue from Henderson who asked if he needed a ticket for the match.

The 28-year-old midfielder then personally delivered the ticket to a delighted Andy, who was able to cheer on his beloved Reds as they won their 6th European Cup with a 2-0 win at the Wanda Metropolitano stadium.

Andy said: “A year ago I delivered a motivational talk to the England football team as part of their preparation for the upcoming 2018 World Cup. It was here I met Jordan.

“One year on from that motivational talk and a week or so before the Champions League final and Jordan got in contact and asked if I still was struggling for a ticket.

“Then 48 hours prior to Jordan lifting Liverpool's sixth European Cup he was meeting up with me and my daughter Alba

Free menopause information and advice event to be held AN information event on menopause treatments will be held in Bootle when experts will be on hand to help locals.

The free event will be held on Tuesday, June 11 at the May Logan Centre at 6pm when Southport and Ormskirk hospitals consultant Dr Paula Briggs will provide up to date information about treatment options, alternative strategies for coping and current drug trials.

Alongside Dr Briggs will be a specialist nurse and ‘expert patients.’

Small group discussions will be possible following a series of brief presentations and a booklet written

by Dr Briggs, will be handed out.

The booklet pulls together the latest advice for women experien-

cing the menopause.

Dr Briggs said: “We know this can be a difficult time of life for women and their families. Our research suggests that women are experiencing a serious impact up to 20 days each month.

“It has a serious impact on relationships with 75% admitting it has caused problems.

“Help is available, but many women wait years before seeking it.

“At Southport hospital we have a menopause clinic, which women from all over the region can attend with a GP referral.

“We hope this event will help to provide women with the right information. Once they feel empowered, they can make good choices to ensure they enjoy the best of health at this stage in life.”

Andy lost his leg after a horrific bomb blast in Afghanistan in 2009 when he was serving in the Royal Marines.

He battled back to become a world

THANKFULLY it seems I have almost certainly been worrying unnecessarily about Tina (the eponymous ‘dog’) since her operation.

You see, for the first couple of days she continued not to eat - then, to my relief, she started again, only to stop once more.

One problem with that was, of course, that it was impossible to administer the pills and liquid designed to combat any possible infection, since they were to be taken with food.

A further check-up to the vet brought some reassurance and sure enough, after a couple of foodless days, she reverted to her normal eating habits.

For all of three days this time.

Still, she was due for her final vet’s visit only two days further, so I sat tight and hoped for the best.

And on this occasion, after I had seen three different female veterinarians, I was met by a male version who explained that these days most folk who wish to become vets are indeed females - as apparently is the case with human-type doctors.

Not that I’m complaining - each vet I came across treated both Tina and myself very well indeed.

But it was this final vet who put my mind at ease.

He confirmed what I had previously been told that dogs (and cats even more so) are far better at concealing pain than us weak-kneed humans.

After a really major operation he reckoned that Tina was standing up very well, especially as a woman who had had similar surgery would almost certainly still be in hospital!

He also thought having most of her womanly bits removed might well have upset her hormones and this could well be part of the problem.

Having given her a good check-up he reckoned Tina could most certainly be ‘signed off’, particularly since she now weighs a little more than she did immediately pre-op.

So now I am a far happier bunny that I was.

Anyway, seeing the male vet this morning got me thinking again about the various jobs men and women do, and their title when doing it.

I am quite happy with vets, teachers or doctors all being called the same since they are doing the same job - but that doesn’t stop me from thinking that that is an excuse for calling folk in other jobs and professions by silly names.

A ‘bar person’ for instance or ditto police, fire, or any other made up ‘person’ title.

What on earth is discriminatory about a barman or barmaid? Why is it morally wrong to know you will be seeing a police man or police woman?

In some cases it can be an obvious help to know whether you are to be confronted by a person of the male or female persuasion and to me at least it helps to build a mental picture of the kind of person you’re likely to be confronted with.

For that matter, no-one I would think would be annoyed at the grotto with a Father or Mother Christmas - but what child would look forward to seeing a Christmas Representative Person? With or without a beard.

There are some jobs which can be too physically demanding for most women and some which used to fall into this category but now do not.

Bus driver for instance. I remember in the 1960s, bus drivers having to stand up from their seats in order to heave an eight ton double decker round a tight junction without the aid of power steering.

Now though, female bus drivers are a common sight - and good luck to them I say.

It’s not any kind of crusade on my part over this subject - it’s simply that I dislike the bastardisation of our language just to accommodate a few zealots.

Even when there is no good reason why both men and women can do an equally good job of whatever it is, there are times even in this day and age, when you may be asked: “would you prefer to see a man or a woman?” - or indeed when you might make a point of asking specifically for one sex or another.

Who, appointed these guardians of the English language? And why does everyone try to fall over backwards to accommodate them?

School proves it has right chemistry for science award Report by Tom Martin A SCHOOL in Litherland proved they had the right chemistry to earn a national accolade after they were awarded the Primary Science Quality Mark.

English Martyrs Catholic Primary School was one of only 200 infant, junior, primary, middle and special schools in the UK to get the special recognition, which is evidence of a “commitment to excellence in science teaching and learning.”

So far, since its national launch in 2010, over 3,000 schools across the UK have achieved the Primary Science Quality Mark (PSQM).

PSQM, which is the only national award scheme to develop and celebrate the quality of science teaching and learning in primary schools, is awarded after a yearlong application process.

Lewis Dinsdale, headteacher said: “I am delighted that English Martyrs has been recognised for the hardwork and commitment to science that we have made.

Contactless payment system introduced to Arriva buses ARRIVA bus passengers in Merseyside are now able to buy their bus tickets using contactless payments.

Passengers across Sefton and the wider Merseyside region will still be able to pay with cash, but from Sunday, June 2 have also had the option to go contactless.

The contactless payment system is quick, easy and secure, the company says, providing passengers with a variety of ways to pay, including debit and credit cards, as well as Apple and Google Pay. Arriva Merseyside managing dir-

ector Howard Farrall said: “We are constantly looking for ways to improve our customers’ journey.

“We are introducing contactless as a step forward in opening up bus travel for those who do not find cash payments convenient.

“The new technology will create a faster, easier and more convenient way to pay for our customers, which in turn will help to speed up boarding time and improve the customer experience as the UK moves even closer towards being a cashless society.”

Marine FC to create Under 23s team for new college course Report by Tom Martin MARINE FC will create a new Under 23s team as part of a new football degree offered by City of Liverpool College.

A BA degree in Football Studies will be set-up at the city-centre based college to provide opportunities for aspiring footballers to progress on the field while also gaining an education.

As part of the course, Marine FC will create an Under 23s side, which will play in both the competitive West Cheshire League and the university league set-up.

Students will have the opportunity to train regularly and play competitive football supported by a UEFA qualified coach, whilst also studying for a degree with the college.

The course is the first of its kind in Liverpool City Region and will provide a rounded footballing education, covering topics such as performance analysis, sport psychology, coaching, physiotherapy, nutrition and club management.

The course will combine theoretical study with practical sessions, also providing a chance for the team to train and play at the Marine Travel Arena.

The course will also provide opportunities for learners to specialise in non-playing areas such as physiotherapy and sports nutrition.

To launch the course, The City of Liverpool College and Marine FC are hosting a trial event at the Jeffrey Humble sports ground in Liverpool tomorrow Thursday, June 6 from 7pm. Anyone who is interested in finding out more is welcome to attend, regardless of ability.

James Leary said: “This course is ideal for anybody looking for a long term part-time or full-time

Marine FC

career within the football industry.

“It can be incredibly difficult for young people to get their chance in the football industry, which can often be a saturated market.

“It can also be challenging for players who have been released from Premier or Football League clubs to find their way back into the industry.

“We identified an opportunity to provide these aspiring footballers with a real pathway into the industry as well as those who are looking for a second chance, whether as a player or as part of the non-playing staff, to gain real experience in a professional setting whilst studying for a degree.”

To find out more about the course, visit the City of Liverpool College website.

Remember a loved one with a Forget-me-not flower to help hospice Report by Henry James PEOPLE are being asked by Woodlands Hospice in Aintree to remember a loved one with a Forget-me-not flower.

Hand-crafted from durable steel the flowers have been described as “an enchanting addition to your garden.”

They will be displayed in the hospice gardens during July creating a vibrant display, and at the beginning of August residents will be invited to visit the hospice, and collect their flower.

There will also be the opportunity to talk to some of the hospice staff about their work.

When individuals dedicate a flower they will receive an acknowledgement letter along with a Certificate of Dedication through the post.

Through this simple act of remembering a loved one, and supporting the local Hospice, people will be helping others when they are at a really difficult time in their life.

Linda Arnold and her family have supported the Forget-me-not Campaign for a number of years now in memory of her husband William (Billy) Arnold and she has shared why she chose to support the hospice.

She said: “My husband Billy was a patient at Woodlands in 2015. The staff and doctors showed us such great compassion, kindness, care and attention during his stay.

“They were always there with a smile to lift our spirits, they helped make a very difficult time easier to cope with. They became like family and nothing was ever too much trouble for them.

“They took away the worries of day-to-day life allowing me to be a wife and not a full time carer.

“This enabled Billy and I to spend very previous

time together.

“My family and I will continue to thank such wonderful and special people for their love and support and will always endeavour to help Woodlands Hospice in any way we can.

“We will once again be supporting the Forget-menot Campaign as it is so very close to our hearts and do hope that you will join us in doing so.”

If you want to remember a loved one through the Forget-me-not Campaign, do so at www.forgetmenotappeal.org or download one to print off at www.woodlandshospice.org and post to the hospice, or call Carole on 0151 529 4143.

The parcel is delivered to a named person at an address including the postcode, given to the company by the fraudster.

“Later the same day, the fraudster or an accomplice calls at the property where

“A week later, bills started to arrive at the home of the innocent resident. In spite of giving the firm an account of the incident, bills continue to arrive with a final demand notice warning the debt would impact on their credit rating.

Tributes paid to former Maghull Citizen of Year Report by Henry James TRIBUTES have been paid to a former Citizen Of The Year for Maghull who died on Tuesday, May 21.

Alan Charnock, who had lived in Eastway but who died in a care home in Netherton, had been heavily involved with Maghull Home Watch.

He was also a life governor of the RNLI, and sponsor of Guide Dogs For The Blind.

He played a part as well in helping to maintain an underpass in Maghull from Maghull

Town Centre to Eastway, which cuts under Northway. There have been calls to rename the underpass Charnock Way. His friend John Johnson said: “He was a quiet guy who just got on with what he had to do and was respected in the community.

“He was very busy with Maghull Home Watch and was involved with many things, and travelled all over the place with the RNLI. “He saw the importance of the underpass too, as it provided a safe way to cross Northway.

His funeral was held on Tuesday, June 4 at the Parish Church of St Giles in Aintree.

Catch comedy caper at Liverpool Empire FOLLOWING the sell-out success of its award-winning comedy The Play That Goes Wrong, Mischief’s first UK tour of The Comedy About A Bank Robbery is on tour and is at the Liverpool Empire this week until Saturday.

Now booking into its third year at the Criterion Theatre in London, Mischief Theatre’s smash-and-grab hit, The Comedy About A Bank Robbery, is a fast comedy caper hailed the funniest show in the West End! Summer 1958. Minneapolis City Bank has been entrusted with a priceless diamond.

An escaped convict is dead set on pocketing the gem with the help of his screwball sidekick, trickster girlfriend… and the maintenance man.

With mistaken identities, love triangles and hidden agendas, even the most reputable can’t be trusted. In a town where everyone’s a crook, who will end up bagging the jewel?

Producer Kenny Wax said:

“Audiences are in for another hilarious treat and we salute Mischief for having written another wonderfully funny play.”

Mischief Theatre was founded in 2008 by a group of graduates of The London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art (LAMDA).

Starting as an improvised theatre group on the London and Edinburgh fringes, they have grown into one of the UK ’s leading theatre companies, winning the Olivier Award for Best New Comedy for The Play That Goes Wrong, and licensing their productions worldwide.

Mischief Theatre have two shows playing concurrently in the West End: The Play That Goes Wrong at the Duchess A scene from The Comedy About A Bank Robbery Theatre - also playing on Broadway and touring the UK - the BBC with Peter Pan Goes in 2017 with a new Christmas and The Comedy About A Wrong (Olivier Award Nom- special, A Christmas Carol Bank Robbery at the Criterion inee 2016), which has also Goes Wrong.

Theatre. enjoyed two sell-out West End The company is led by artistic In December 2016, Mischief seasons. director Henry Lewis and commade their television debut on Mischief returned to BBC One pany director Jonathan Sayer.

Company presenting ‘compelling and haunting piece of theatre’ “WHAT’S the buzz, tell me what’s a’happening”.

Well, at Southport’s Little Theatre, from Wednesday 12 to Saturday, June 15, Maghull Musical Theatre Company are performing Jesus Christ Superstar.

Evenings at 7.30 p.m. with a Matinée at 2.15 p.m. on the Saturday as well as the evening performance.

This phenomenal award-winning show has not been performed by an adult Company in Southport before.

It is a compelling and haunting piece of theatre with show stopping songs such as Gethsemane, I don’t know how to love him, Hosanna and of course Jesus Christ Superstar.

A must see show, featuring a talented and experienced cast.

Play to make its debut at Royal Court PLAYWRIGHT Dave Kirby has written a new comedy: Lost Soul 2 – Smigger ’s Wrecked Head which is to make its debut at Liverpool’s Royal Court.

The original Lost Soul began at the Royal Court in 2007 looking at the lives of Smigger, Pat, Donna and Terry as they dealt with modern life passing them by while they yearned for the good old days.

50,000 people came to see that smash hit comedy and it really struck a note with a generation who spent their youths in the soul music clubs of the 1970s and 80s.

The original cast are back for the show, which begins a few months after the original Lost Soul finishes. Jake Abraham, Lindzi Germain, Catherine Rice, Andrew Schofield and Lenny Woodall return to their roles. Bob Eaton will direct again and the set design is by Jocelyn Meall.

In the show Smigger’s having a mid-life crisis. All he wants to do is roll back the years and dance to 70s’ soul music with Donna, Terry and Pat. But since the grandkid came along, Donna hasn’t been interested in their usual Sunday nights in town (or much else).

Their daughter hasn’t helped, lumbering them with the baby most weekends while she's out with the dad. Well, maybe the dad (it’s a one in four chance). Smigger's

Dave Kirby

had enough, his head’s wrecked and he’s not having it any more.

Smigger, Donna, Terry and Pat will take us from Scottie road to Pontins Prestatyn to Liverpool’s over-40's Sunday night pub scene for endless laughter set to a 70s' soul soundtrack that will have you dancing out of the Royal Court and strutting straight down to Smokie Mo’s.

Dave Kirby said: “Twelve years ago, Lost Soul opened at the Royal Court. Two more

runs and over 50,000 jubilant people later I finally got round to writing a sequel after being asked about 50,000 times!

“The mid-life crisis theme continues with real characters, real humour and a real buzz about the script, all woven together by the original cast and great 70's soundtrack. Look forward to seeing another 50,000 jubilant people.”

Smigger ’s Wrecked Head runs from this Friday (June 7) to Saturday, July 6.

Lyric Singers will be holding a charity concert THIS year the Southport Lyric Singers’ annual charity concert in June will be in support of Myeloma UK. The husband of one of the choir’s members died from this form of cancer and their daughter, Nuala Duxbury, has produced a CD of songs entitled I’d rather be 60 than Sweet 16.

Nuala will be singing a couple of these songs which she has composed herself and hoping to sell copies of her CD at £5 each in aid of Myeloma UK.

FEATHER FEST Sunday 9th June 2019 11am - 3pm Join Woodlands Animal Sanctuary for your chance to get up close and personal with a range of birds of prey!

A pivotal moment in BMW’s quest for world domination!

WHAT you’re looking at here (see right) – well, at least it would be, in some weird parallel universe where BMW had done things a bit differently – is the latest Rover 45.

The reason I mention BMW’s ill-fated six-year ownership of the West Midlands’ biggest carmaker is because that was originally going to be Munich’s way into mass market cars, with the 75 topping off a range of hatchbacks and saloons that would’ve taken the fight to Ford, Vauxhall, and so on.

But it wasn’t, Rover is long gone, and instead it’s the 1-Series that picked up that baton instead.

This week BMW’s started taking orders for the all-new, third-generation model, which hits the company ’s UK showrooms in September. It could be a pivotal moment in BMW’s gradual quest for world domination (which, bizarrely, also includes teaming up with direct rivals Mercedes to develop electric models), because it’s having to drop something that’s at the heart of everything BMW stands for in order to make it a better car.

Rear-wheel-drive. BMW used to bang on in its adverts about how sending all the oomph to the

back wheels made their cars better balanced and that little bit more satisfying to drive than their front-hauled rivals – and if all the ones I’ve driven over the years are anything to go by, from 320Ds to M5s, I’d have to agree. But BMW’s insistence on fitting its smallest offering with it too meant it was offering the first rear-drive hatchback since the Vauxhall Chevette went out of production – and they were compromised cars for much the same reasons.

In a big, powerful saloon it makes sense to send all that horsepower to the back, but in a smaller hatchback the propshaft robs space from the interior, which is why the outgoing 1-Series always had a chunky transmission tunnel between the driver and passenger and felt oddly cramped in the back. The new, front-wheel-drive 1-Series is a lot roomier than the outgoing car, which for the families who actually live with them day-to-day are really going to appreciate.

The bit that BMW are going to have be spot on with, though, is their claim that it’s more agile and fun to drive than the old 1-Series – which was a right laugh on a quiet country road – was.

Get it right, and make it feel like a properly sorted BMW should, and it’ll have a generation of faithful customers who value that sort of thing hooked for years.

It’ll particularly matter when it eventually brings out a go-faster 1M model – a lot of people who own these take them on track days and want to drift delicately around corners, and it’s going to be tricky to pull that off in a front-wheel-drive hatchback.

Get it wrong and BMW will be accused of selling out by going front-wheel-drive. In which case it might as well have stuck with the Rover 45.

Bootle restrict Ormskirk to 133 before Hale hits 75 to seal big win

The Northern Ninjas cricket team.

Ninjas off to a winning start NEWLY formed Northern Ninjas enjoyed their first Women’s Softball Cricket Festival on Saturday at Old Xaverians Cricket Club.

The team scored a succession of fours and sixes, which was backed up by some equally impressive fielding, resulting in three wins.

Their next fixture is on Sunday, June 9, when Northern are at home in the next round of the Liverpool and District Cricket Competition.

Ring century can’t save Maghull from defeat IN the Second Division, third placed Maghull suffered a shock 21 run home defeat to an improving Burscough.

The visitors chose to bat and thanks to runs from Ryan Hughes 67, Jon Stone 58 and Navdeep Aujla 50 were able to declare on 258-8.

Australian Joe MedewEwen was the pick of the Maghull bowlers taking 5-

67. In reply, opener Jon Ring cracked a century (104 inc 12x4 & 1x6) and Anthony Molloy 47.

But their efforts were in vain as Lee Berrie took 560 for Burscough to help dismiss the hosts for 237.

Hightown St Mary’s sit just one place off the bottom of the table after a 107 run defeat at Sutton, the hosts elected to bat and were dismissed for

150 with Ben Ashcroft 322 and Jayden Schadendorf 3-33 doing the damage with the ball, whilst Jamie Greener 53 and Adam Onion 45 top scored with the bat.

In reply, only Arslan Dar with 10 was able to reach double figures as Hightown were dismantled for just 43, with Jamie Greener 5-8 and Liam Dodd 4-14 on form with the ball.

This weekend’s local LDCC fixtures (1pm): Formby v New Brighton, Northern v Colwyn Bay, Southport & Birkdale v Ormskirk, Wallasey v Bootle, Prestatyn v Ainsdale, Wavertree v Fleetwood Hesketh, Alder v Hightown St Mary’s, Burscough v Spring View, Maghull v Liverpool and Southport Trinity v Parkfield Liscard.

FIRWOOD Bootle remain top of the Liverpool Competition Premier League winning at Ormskirk by seven wickets on Saturday.

Scott Butterworth, 3 for 47, and Jhangir Liaqat 3 for 21, had Ormskirk struggling on 83 for 7.

Tom Hartley, 19, and Ryan Maddock, 26, put up stubborn resistance for Ormskirk with an eighth wicket stand of 40.

Vishal Tripathi was then introduced to the attack with devastating effect.

His 3 for 9 off just 3.5 overs mopped up the lower order with a modest 133 runs on the scoreboard after 49.5 overs.

Will Hale held Firwood Bootle’s response together with a high quality unbeaten 75 from 109 deliveries.

Mike Farrell, 24, gave him fine support in an opening stand of 78.

Some fiery seam bowling from Lancashire paceman Josh Bohannon, 2 for 46, and Tom Hartley, 1 for 34, temporally put the brakes on reducing Bootle to 93 for 3.

Danny Davies, with an undefeated 27, took the former out of the attack hitting eleven off his

eleventh over leaving his side no further problems claiming a seven wicket victory with 5.4 overs in hand.

Bootle also progressed to the second round of the Liverpool Echo Knockout Cup after six wicket victory at Maghull last Thursday night.

Jonathan Ring, 38, Joe Medew-Ewen, 23, and Joe Campbell, 15, saw Maghull well placed on 85 for 3. However Scott Butterworth, 3 for 14, and Will Purser, 4 for 16, rapidly dismantled the latter order restricting the home side to 107 for 9 in their allocated 20 overs.

Worthy contributions from Scott Butterworth, 22, Sam Kershaw, undefeated on 28, and Jamie Siddall, 33, eased the visitors towards a comfortable 6 wicket triumph with six overs to spare setting up a second round tie at Ormskirk.

On Friday night Firwood Bootle entertain Liverpool at Wadham Road at 6 pm in the National T20, before they take a trip over the water to Wallasey for a Premier League fixture on Saturday.

Bootle are at Ormskirk once again on Sunday in the Royal London National Club Championship.

Northern dismissed for 82 in heavy defeat to Formby NORTHERN were dismissed for just 82 in a four wicket home defeat against second in the table Formby.

Skipper James Cole was the top scorer with 19 as Northern’s batsmen struggled against the Formby bowling attack with new signing Dewi Jones taking 4-17 on debut and Sabbir Patel claiming 4-19.

In reply, Ollie Sutton top scored with 39 and Formby eventually wrapped up victory on 836.

Justin Snow 3-6 and Tom Sephton 3-38 taking all of the six wickets to fall.

Southport & Birkdale lost at home to third placed New Brighton by five wickets.

After a delayed start the hosts were asked to bat and thanks to Isaac Lea 74 and an unbeaten 54* from Australian Will Affleck were able to declare on 185-6, with David While taking 3-40.

In reply, While then top scored with 65, Leo Carter hit 64 and skipper Andy Clarke cracked an unbeaten 32 off just 13 balls as the visitors wrapped up victory in the 26th over on 186-5, with Chris Cunningham taking 3-56.

Focus on & Independent Living

Care At some stage in our lives, as we get older, most of us will come to rely on a care service program, whether for ourselves or a relative.

From home services to residing in a care home, fortunately we are lucky to live in communities that offer so many different options in levels of care. However, as there is such a vast array of choices available, it can often prove both daunting and confusing when selecting the service which is going to be right for you or a close relative.

The one common goal for both the patient and the professionals is to ensure that people remain as independent as they can for as long as possible.

Over the next few pages the Champion offers you a choice and advice on which services are out there and what you can expect.

Where care is concerned, one size can never fit all!

Care Homes When living at home independently is becoming too difficult, then it maybe time to consider what other options are available to you. You may look into adapting your home to help make life easier, or maybe you could look at getting some support at home to help with those things that are simply becoming too difficult. However, if you decide that moving into a care home is the best option for you then it can give you the chance to focus on your health and wellbeing, whilst also providing you with the opportunity to meet new people and develop new friendships.

Firstly you need to consider all of the options available and work out which will work best for you as there are several different types of care home to consider: Care Homes Help with personal care, such as washing, dressing, taking medication and going to the toilet.

They may also offer social activities such as day trips or outings.

Nursing Homes Personal care as well as assistance from qualified nurses.

Care Homes with Dementia Care (Sometimes called Elderly Mentally Infirm (EMI) homes) - They are designed to make people living with dementia feel more comfortable and safe.

Respite Care is a short-term stay, often around one to two weeks, in a care home. Respite breaks can be

planned or unplanned, in cases of emergency. Often, a respite break is arranged to give a carer a holiday from their care-related duties. This is particularly common when friends or family members are acting as a carer and allows them time to look after their own health and well-being.

Respite care can also be required when the normal carer cannot offer the support needed at a certain time.

Dual-Registered Care Homes They accept residents who require both personal care and nursing care. This means that someone who initially just needs personal care but later requires nursing care won’t have to change homes.

Do your Research Anyone can get access to information regarding a care home and see for yourself how the home functions. You can find these inspection reports by searching for the care home on the Care Quality Commission website (www.cqc.org.uk). These reports highlight a number of categories, ie. safety; caring; responsive.

You can also find out if the home specialises in any particular services and see their overall rating. For Children’s care homes this information can be found from Ofsted (www.gov. uk/government/organisations/ofsted).

Location Residents do not want to feel isolated. Always ensure that the care

Delivering quality services since 1888 to the people of Se on and surrounding areas

home is within reach of family and friends and that shops and facilities are easily accessible.

Noise can also be an issue so visit the location at different times of the day and week.

Visiting & Outings Find out about visits and outings. Does the home provide outings and can anyone come and visit any time?

Speak to family and friends for recommendations Does anyone that you know have a relative or friend who is already in a care home? A recommendation from a happy resident is worth it’s weight in gold.

Visit the Care Homes Try to visit all of the homes on your short-list, making an appointment to meet the care home manager. Before you visit, make a list of all the questions you want to ask and all of the things you want to look out for – it’s easy to forget things and doing as much research as you can is important. It’s useful to ask about the level of care provided

as well as the fees and waiting list. Talk to staff members and observe the way they work and care for residents.

Some homes may invite you to spend the day there so you can get a feel of the place and what it is like. It is also advisable that you find out about the details of the Care Home contract that you will be expected to sign.

Communication Find out how communication works with the staff.

This consideration is particularly important if you are acting on behalf of someone who is considering becoming a full time resident.

Other Considerations Think about ethnic, cultural and social needs as well as dietary needs. Finally, some homes will allow pets which may be important to you.

Before making a final decision, it is a good idea to ask for a temporary stay of a month or so. This can sometimes be arranged and is an excellent way of seeing for yourself whether the home is going to be right for you long term.

Home Care An increasing number of people are looking to receive specialist home care as an alternative to residential care. Home care, also known as Domiciliary care enables those with varying care needs (through illness, long term medical issues or old age) to remain in their own home indefinitely, or for a longer period of time than was previously possible.

These services are often delivered by a specialist homecare agency who employ carers with specific training and expertise in providing care within the home.

Choosing between these home care service agencies can be a difficult thing to do. Below are some important things to consider when looking at home care: Identify what type of home healthcare support you need Have a think about the help you will require from the home healthcare provider. You will find that there is a range of different support available.

The areas where people often require help and support is looking after their personal care and hygiene, help doing their weekly shopping,

assistance around the house with cleaning and tidying and as well as help to cook meals. Sometimes however, all that is needed is companionship.

Contact your local authority and find out what help they will give you

Your local authority will then either fully or partly fund this. This will be done through making ‘direct payments’ or through a ‘personal budget’.

Work out your home care services cost Estimating how much your home care services will cost is important as you need to ensure you are spending your money wisely. Work out your budget.

Think about how long you’ll need care for and estimate using an average

We would like you to nominate a carer by telling us in no more than 300 words why you are nominating them. Make sure to include your name and contact number, along with the name of the carer you are nominating.

Once you have identified the care

agencies you wish to speak to, it is important that you, along with any family or friends that are supporting you have a detailed conversation with the short listed home healthcare providers. This is important to ensure that they can provide the home care services and support that you need.

Whilst you are in the process of looking at care agencies, you should also make sure that you contact your local social services and ask them to assess your care needs. Once you go through the assessment process, your local authority will outline what support and help they can give you. If you choose not to take the support your local authority provide, you are free to approach care agencies yourself and choose your own home care.

Adapting the home Home adaptations are changes you can make to your home to help make it safer and easier to move around.

Your local council will offer a service that assesses your home and then recommends changes to help. This home assessment is free and the changes they may suggest can include the fitting of a stairlift or additional banisters, the widening of doorways, lowering of kitchen worktops as well as bathroom adaptations and the installation of additional lighting, ramps and railings to help with security and access into your property. The assessment may also recommend household equipment and gadgets to help make life easier.

Moving around your home Make sure your home is well lit. Think about getting motion-sensor lights installed that switch on automatically when you get out of bed or enter a room. Widening door frames or changing the direction your doors open can help you get about – particularly if you use a wheelchair.

An extra banister rail or a stairlift can make getting up and down the stairs much easier. Depending on the size and layout of your home, it might be possible to install a through-floor wheelchair lift.

In the bathroom Buying a bath to suit your needs If you struggle to get into and out of the bath, yet still enjoy a relaxing soak, there are different types of baths available that could help.

Walk-in baths have a door built in to the side of the bath so you do not have to climb over and risk a fall.

They come in a range of shapes and sizes from short walk-in baths designed for sitting in, to long baths with a whole side panel that opens out, suitable for those you enjoy a long soak whilst lying down.

Baths with a built-in seat. These baths have a seat moulded into the bath itself and have the same purpose as portable bath seats – allowing you to sit half immersed in the bath, yet with the added advantage of being more comfortable and of not looking institutional. Another benefit is they do not have a maximum weight capacity.

If mobility is severely limited, then consider a bath lift, which lifts your body from underneath, or a bath hoist which pulls you up from above.

If using a bath is becoming increasing more difficult, then sometimes people will opt for a walk-in shower or stand alone shower cubicle.

These can be more practical and less time consuming for everyday washing.

Wet-floor areas or full wet rooms are essentially bathrooms that have been adapted with waterproof flooring and walls and can be useful if bathroom space is limited.

Worried about overfilling the bath or sink?

A special safety plug that only allows water to reach a certain level, or a flood detector that alerts a monitoring centre if the bath or sink starts to overflow, might be helpful.

In the kitchen Think about how you use your kitchen and what would make life easier for you. Kitchen aids and feeding aids are important tools for those with flexibility, mobility or physical dexterity issues. There is a wide range of kitchen ware available to help the disabled or elderly. Adapted knives and other cutlery, along with non-spill feeding aids like cups and mugs, plates and bowls.

If you need a bit of help while cooking or making a hot drink, try: • a perching stool which supports you in a near-standing position • a kettle tipper to help you tilt the kettle • a spike board which lets you cut or peel vegetables one-handed.

If you find picking up, opening or moving things in the kitchen difficult, try: • wide-handled cutlery • high-rimmed plates and two-handled cups • assistive tin, bottle and jar openers • a sturdy trolley to support mobility and help you move food and drink from room to room.

Mobility bathrooms and additional toilets are our speciality

ADVERTORIAL

HomefromHome SEFTON

Home from Home is a truly unique, personalised day service that adopts a fully holistic approach to meeting each individuals wants and needs.

Individuals become part of our family, feeling supported, loved, respected, listened to, included and valued, which can lead to improved feelings of self worth, improved mental health, confidence, and quality of life. It is my life long passion to enure vulnerable older adults have the opportunity to live a full, healthy, happy, independent lifestyle, the way they want to live it.

The idea behind providing this service within my own home for 5 adults per day (sociable yet not overwhelming, in comfy, relaxed setting), came from listening to what individuals really want/how they prefer to be treated, during my 17 years experience working in a multitude of different services within the care sector.

Assisted & Independent Living For an older adult, the choice between assisted and independent living usually depends on how well an individual can manage daily activities without extra assistance. Examples of these activities include preparing meals, personal hygiene, managing medications and completing household chores. Someone who has difficulty with any of these may want to consider the maintenance-free lifestyle of an assisted living community.

Assisted Living Assisted living is a great option for individuals who have difficulty with daily activities at home. Residents are free to live an independent lifestyle, but also receive regular support for a range of daily activities from cleaning to meal preparation. Housekeeping and maintenance services are often

included in the monthly rental of an apartment, along with laundry services, utilities, transportation and meals. In addition to enjoying the peace of mind that comes from this, residents can also take advantage of a full calendar of events, activities, trips out and other opportunities for social engagement.

With endless opportunities of activities provided within my home, a focus on nutrition, wellness, improving fitness, mental health, and self-care, plus regular days out to places of interest, entertainment, local groups & schools, by actively linking in with local businesses, charities, independent living schemes, care homes, etc, we are bringing communities and generations together, promoting lifestyle choices, improving confidence, living well, and staying active and connected.

Independent Living In contrast to assisted living, independent living is ideal for individuals who can still live independently but enjoy having access to assistance when needed.

Independent living communities provide their residents with convenient access to dining, medical care, entertainment and more. They offers residents a safe living environment, but with minimal assistance.

Without this type of vital support, many vulnerable older adults can become very low of mood/depressed,

lose interest in food & drink and self-care, which can lead to poor physical health, reduced mobility, falls, infections, leading to repeated GP visits, hospital admissions, and ultimately needing full time care.

This is what we aim to prevent as much as possible.

If you feel our support may be right for you or a loved one, please do get in touch, we can also come and visit you in your own home first for a chat.

Staying engaged with Alzheimers

The following, from Dr. Potter and Home Instead Senior Care, are tips on how to help family carers continue to engage older adults with Alzheimer’s in everyday activities: 1. Allow the individual to do as much as they can but don’t expect them to do what they can’t. Give clear instructions, which may mean giving instructions one step at a time.

2. Simplify the task. When dressing, put them in a position to do as much as possible. Make it easier to dress, for instance, by laying out clothing in sequential order, with the underwear and socks on top.

Individuals living with Alzheimer’s disease or any other form of dementia should strive to continue to do as much as they can to retain their independence for as long as possible. And being at home is more often than not, the best place for this.

3. Start an activity and then ask for help. For example if your Mum has forgotten how to make that favourite family recipe, begin the process and ask for her help with whatever she can.

“The preferred environment for those living with dementia is generally in familiar surroundings such as their home.”

Keeping Mobile If you’re living with limited mobility there are a number of mobility aids available which can make it easier for you to get around – whether you’re in your own home or outside.

So whether it’s getting to and from your car or mobility equipment which can assist you climbing the stairs, there is an extensive range of care and mobility aids that can help in making daily activities simpler and more enjoyable. Mobility aids can make a huge difference to someone who is older or living with a disability, by giving them the opportunity to remain independent both at home or when out and about.

The choice of equipment available for those living with mobility issues varies

greatly depending on the individual’s range of motion. However, mobility aids are often viewed negatively by older people and they can therefore be reluctant to use them for fear of looking old or impaired by others.

In fact, mobility aids could do with a new image to reflect the positive benefit they bring to people’s lives.

Someone who is worried about having a fall may be limiting when and where they go out. For them, a simple walking stick can give them the confidence boost they need to be able to meet up with friends or to walk down the road to collect the paper.

The added bonus of exercise and the effect on a person’s wellbeing from seeing people and getting fresh air is immeasurable.

4. Make activities easier or change the activity. If the person can’t play bridge any more, play another card game instead.

This is the view of Dr. Jane F. Potter, who served on the expert panel to help develop content for Home Instead Senior Care® network’s free Alzheimer’s disease or other dementias CARE training programme.

5. Remember, it’s about more than just the task. Turn a bath into an opportunity to smell different soaps or, when picking out clothing, discuss fashion or special colours.

6. Remember that exercise can help keep seniors active longer. It is important to help them to get up and move more, not less.

Personal Care As we become older some of the things we take for granted, such as our vision, hearing and personal hygiene can deteriorate and become more difficult to us to take care of.

When it comes to bathing there is usually a deeper cause for someone’s refusal to wash than just “not wanting to”. Bathrooms can become dangerous places for someone with reduced mobility who is unsteady on their feet. The fear of falling can be a major contributor to their reluctance.

Those living with Alzheimer’s and other forms of dementia may simply forget

that they have not showered recently, whilst others may tire easily or suffer with shortness of breath.

It’s true that most seniors don’t necessarily need to, nor should they bathe as often due to their sensitive skin and relatively low activity levels, but semi-regular washing is crucial for their health and mental well being.

Helping someone bathe, shave and dress can be difficult. Knowing how to handle these delicate situations will make things easier for both you and your loved one. If the person needs more than a little help with bathing, ask your doctor about having a professional caregiver come to your home and show you how to make the task both easier and safer.

Oral health is extremely important and there are a few guidelines to follow: Clean teeth at least once a day; Check dentures regularly for cracks and other damage; Remove dentures for cleaning and store in liquid when out of the mouth; Have dentures checked if they aren’t fitting properly as this can be a common cause of eating problems – rather than just a loss of appetite.

And it’s not just our teeth we need to look after. It’s also essential that we all take good care of our feet in later life.

It lowers our risk of having a fall and reduces the risk of infection, as well as relieving pain. Foot care services help older people who are unable to look after their feet.

We must also pay more attention to looking after our eyesight in older age. Lighting in the home can be an issue. At the age of 60, your eyes need three times the amount of light than they needed at 20 years of age. To make the most of your lighting at home keep your windows clean and pull the curtains back as far as possible; consider replacing the curtains with blinds, which makes it easier to control the amount of light that comes into a room. Ensure stairs are well lit and use a flexible table lamp for reading or close work.

2 years. A sight test checks your vision straight ahead, as well as your peripheral vision. The test also looks for age-related changes as well as eye conditions such as cataracts, age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and glaucoma, which can lead to sight loss. These conditions can be detected at an early stage, often before you’ve even noticed that anything is wrong.

Hearing problems can also be serious. If you notice signs such as difficulties in hearing people on the telephone, or others complaining the TV volume is very high, then it may be time to seek professional advice.

Hearing loss is extremely common and approximately one in three people between the age of 65 and 74 experience hearing loss. Losing your hearing can have a profoundly negative effect on someone’s enjoyment and quality of life. It is another important area to check and get advice about in your later years.

Final Arrangements One of the most emotional times in someone’s life is saying goodbye to a loved one. This means it can be hard to think of all the practicalities that need taking care of next.

There are three main things you must do in the first few days after someone dies.

The financial part

departments can be informed of the death at the same time and takes a fair bit of pressure off you. This can be done online or by telephone.

1. Ensure you obtain a medical certificate from their GP or hospital doctor. This is very important as you will need this certificate to register their death. In the case of their passing being unexpected, or if they haven’t been seen by their family doctor in the 2 weeks prior, their death is reported to a coroner and could end up in a postmortem or inquest. If this happens it sometimes can mean a delay in the funeral.

3. Arranging the Funeral. When choosing the Funeral Director, try and choose an accredited one from an organisation who adheres to codes of practice. These must provide you with a price list if you request one. Organisations such as National Association of Funeral Directors, National Federation of Funeral Directors and Society of Allied and Independent Funeral Directors are all good examples.

2. Register the death. If you register the death within five days, you will be given all the documents you need for the funeral. Ask your registrar about the free Tell Us Once service. If this is offered in your area, this means that several government

The Funeral Director will take you through all the options available to ensure your loved one has the send off they deserve. Be clear on what is included in the price quoted for their services to avoid any unexpected costs for any extras.

This is the part that sometimes brings with it a bit of worry but if your loved one has been organised and left an insurance policy to either cover or contribute to the costs of their funeral, it takes a lot of that worry away. Perhaps your loved one had

a pre-paid funeral plan in place or has a sizeable estate (savings) that could also help cover the cost. If you have any difficulties in paying for the funeral, you may be able to apply for a ‘Funeral Expenses Payment’ from your local council.
