Police take fight against knife crime to the classrooms

{

MERSEYSIDE Police are taking their fight against knife crime to the classrooms as they try to educate youngsters against the dangers of carrying the weapon.

A week-long campaign was launched nationally and will run until Sunday, September 23 as forces come together to combat the growing concern of young people arming themselves with knives.

Officers in Merseyside are going to give talks in local schools, as well as carry out a social media campaign targeting teenagers and young people, test purchasing in shops and diversionary educational activities run by local community groups.

Locals can also expect to see increased police activity and police presence in key areas, where it is believed to be a hotspot for knife crime.

Community Policing Inspector Andy Creer said: “I want to reassure our communities that we are committed to reducing knife crime and educating people about the dangers and consequences of carrying knives.

“The work we do to tackle this important issue takes place on a daily basis but by taking part in this national week of action means the work we are doing is more visible and gives us the opportunity to show the importance of what we are trying to achieve alongside our partners and communities.

“Our officers work extensively within schools across Merseyside to educate young people about the dangers of becoming involved in knife crime and the impact it has on the community. But we cannot do this alone and we want parents, guardians and schools to help reinforce our message to young people – if you are caught carrying a knife,

Community Policing Inspector Andy Creer

you are reducing your future prospects.

“We would also urge people to think before they consider carrying a knife. There is never a good reason to carry one.

“Many of those who do carry knives say initially they carried them for their own protection.

“Evidence shows that those who carry knives for their own protection are more likely to become a victim as a result and the knife can be turned on them.

“If you know somebody who is carrying a knife when they go out I urge you to come forward and tell us. We will act on all information reported to us.

“Anyone with information can DM @MerPolCC, call 101 or contact Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.”

Clotted Cream Tea event at church in aid of children’s charity in Kenya

Liz McBride and Phil Shotton.

Orchestra score found in bargain bin to get public performance!

Report by Henry James A COMPLETE orchestral score which was in danger of being thrown away will be given a public performance on Saturday, September 22 thanks to a sharp-eyed musician from Maghull Wind Orchestra.

Liz McBride, who plays bass clarinet in the orchestra, spotted the sheet music in the bargain section of a music shop in York, at a giveaway price of £2.99 for the score.

This included the music for all the different sections of a wind orchestra – trumpets, trombones, clarinets, flutes, saxophones and many more, and also the sub-sections of the orchestra such as first alto saxophones, second alto saxophones, and so on.

An orchestra would normally expect to pay up to £70 for such a detailed score.

She said: “I just spotted this music in the shop.

“I had no idea if it would be any good, but I thought somebody should be able to use it, even if it was only as an exercise in sight reading.

“I was delighted when our musical director, Phil Shotton, decided to include it in out setlist for concerts. It’s a nice piece and there’s enough in it for

everyone to enjoy it, which is good.”

The composition is Seven Hills Overture by John Fannin, an American composer and music teacher, based in Kentucky.

It is a lively, rousing piece which has been chosen

by Phil Shotton to open MWO’s upcoming concert at Edge Hill University’s Rose Theatre, Ormskirk, on Saturday, September 22 at 7.30pm.

Phil said: “It opens with a big fanfare and keeps the interest with a dance-like melody, then a slower section before the fanfare returns at the end. It’s great fun to listen to.

“This will be an exciting concert. We’re playing some new works for wind band alongside some more established works.

“We’ve got works from local composers Adam Dutch and Adam Roberts, who will both be playing with the band on the evening, plus Philip Sparke who is another English composer, alongside some highly respected American composers.”

The concert is supported by the British Association of Symphonic Bands and Wind Ensembles which last year appointed MWO as an official ambassador band.

Tickets are on sale at the Edge Hill Arts Centre, call 01695 584480, edgehill.ac.uk/artscentre, price £10 (£8 concessions, free to Edge Hill students).

Two men arrested over car break-ins POLICE arrested two men following reports vehicles had been broken into in Maghull in the early hours of Monday, September 17.

A report was received shortly before 1.45am that two males were trying the door handles of cars on Bedford Avenue.

Officers attended and two

males were located in a shed on the street and arrested.

A Mini Countryman and a BMW 118 were reported to have been broken into, and a stolen pedal cycle was recovered next to the shed on Bedford Avenue.

A screw driver and knife were also located by dog

patrols in the area.

A 46-year-old man, from Kirkby, was arrested on suspicion of burglary and theft from a motor vehicle.

A 34-year-old man, from Kirkdale, was arrested on suspicion of burglary, theft from a motor vehicle, Section 47 assault and resisting arrest.

A CHURCH in Maghull will be putting the kettle on in support of a children’s charity in Kenya.

Maghull Baptist Church will hold their Great Annual Cornish Clotted Cream Tea event on Saturday, September 22 at the church on Hall Lane in aid of To Kenya with Love.

The ukulele band MADUkes (which stands for Maghull and Distict Ukes) will be performing and there will be activities to keep children entertained.

Sefton Central MP Bill Esterson urged local residents to support the event, which raises money for the charity.

The MP said: “This is an event where you always get a warm welcome, a great cuppa and all for a good cause, helping children living in poverty in Kenya.”

To Kenya With Love (TKWL) is a UK Christian charity that works to transform the lives of children in Kisumu, the third largest city in

Kenya, where levels of poverty are amongst the highest in the country.

To Kenya With Love’s child sponsorship programme provides each child with a comprehensive package of care, including quality education, food, clothing and medication.

The event organiser Diane Ball said: “We raised around £2,600 at the event last year.

The money is used in our school and usually goes on books and food.

“We built a school in a slum area in Kisumu, Kenya, which provides schooling for over 300 kids from that local area.

“We also give them a lunch each day as for many that is the only proper meal they get.

Thank you to everyone who attends our event as it really does make a different to those kids in Kenya.”

The Maghull Baptist Church event will take place from 2pm-4pm on Saturday, September 22 at the church on Hall Lane.

The first bike was taken from Harrops Croft, in Bootle, which they say was being "driven around the estate causing a nuisance for some time.”

The second was taken from the small Hapsford Park, in Seaforth, again officers saying they had

Brian needs a hand to clean up the town!

Report by Jim Sharpe MAGHULL has a long history of active volunteers keeping the town a great place to live in.

One of them is Brian Moreton who ‘adopted’ the subway beneath Northway at Central Square years ago, clearing litter and painting over graffiti.

Now Brian is looking for likeminded volunteers to help him extend the area to include other problem spots in the Deyes Lane area.

Brian has also been talking to the Maghull Town Council leader Cllr Patrick McKinley.

“I have been aware of the great work Brian has been involved in over a number of years and had the subway repainted after he contacted us.

“Brain asked if we could do anything to help him rekindle residents' interest in getting involved in keeping their community tidy. He also suggested some novel ways of addressing

the graffiti problem in the subway.

“We are committed to helping Brian and will be joining him on his litter picking and would encourage others to get involved too!”

Both Maghull Town and Sefton Councils still do litter picks - but the problem is still growing, particularly folk discarding plastic bottles.

Brian needs are volunteers willing to give just an hour or two, once or twice a month, to keep the town litter free. Neighbouring Lydiate and Melling already do just this.

Cllr McKinley added: “All required equipment will be provided and this is an ideal way to exercise and experience camaraderie along the way.”

The Town Council will supply gloves, grabs, collecting bags and high visibility jackets.

The litter picks will take place on the last Saturday of each month starting at 10am and will last for about two hours meeting at the subway.

If you want to take part in the Maghull subway/Deyes Lane litter picks, call Maghull Town Council on 0151 526 3705.

Antiques Roadshow expert to give talk A FAMILIAR face from BBC's Antiques Roadshow will give a talk in Crosby to reveal some of the exciting items he's seen over the years.

Marc Allum, who has appeared on the popular daytime show since 1998, will tell some tales at a meeting of the local Arts Society, to be held at St Michael's Church Hall on Wednesday, October 10 at 2pm.

During his time on the pro- Marc Allum gramme, Marc has been asked to evaluate a wide range of items, including Neil Armstrong`s camera and Napoleon`s briefcase, so it`s no surprise that he lists “all

things strange” among his interests.

Marc has also made a study of the Grand Tour, the continental travel that was an essential part of a young aristocrat`s education in the 17th and 18th centuries.

Many treasures were brought back to Britain at this time, among them the collection once housed in Ince Blundell Hall and now in Liverpool Museum.

The title of Marc’s talk is entitled ‘Collecting: The Grand Tour’, and anyone who wishes to attend is welcome. For non-Arts Society members, it will cost £6.

Public invited to meeting at hospital AINTREE University Hospital is holding its Annual Members’ Meeting on Wednesday, September 26 which the public invited to attend.

The Annual Members’ Meeting will include presentations from

the Chair, Lead Governor and Board of Directors and will be followed by a question and answer session.

The hospital says it has been a busy 12 months, which has seen the launch of a £1m air ambulance helipad and the Royal opening of the £35m Urgent Care and Trauma Centre by the Duke of Cambridge.

The meeting is free to attend and there is no need to book in advance.

Man seriously injured after car collision A MAN in his 60s suffered serious injuries when he was in collision with a car at around 2pm on Tuesday, September 18.

YOUNGSTERS have been shown how to have fun without scrambler bikes at an action-packed sports day held at Crosby Lakeside Adventure Centre.

Sefton Council, Merseyside Fire & Rescue and Merseyside Police invited children from schools across south Sefton to the special event, which was held to show pupils how they can still have a good time without resorting to the use of dangerous off-road bikes Schoolchildren from primary schools including Hatton Hill, The Grange, St Oswalds and Lander Road donned their all-weather gear on Sunday, September 16 and took part in an exhilarating inter-school sports day.

As well as learning about the emergency vehicles, children took part in a host of activities including raft building, sailing, fencing, teamwork, and problem solving.

Cllr Trish Hardy, Sefton Council’s Cabinet Member for Communities and Housing, said: “This was a fantastic day out for all involved despite the weather!

“Around 150 schoolchildren took part in the day and our partnership with both Merseyside Police and Merseyside Fire & Rescue continues to work extremely well to highlight the dangers associated with scrambler bikes and how they can affect local communities.

“By getting involved in the campaign we hope all the young people have learned some valuable lessons and they have now been rewarded with a great day out using our amazing facilities at Crosby Lakeside.”

The next anti-scrambler bike event will involve the schoolchilden playing the role of emergency services in a live re-enactment of a scrambler bike crash later this month.

During this re-enactment they will come face to face with the dangers of becoming involved in scrambler bike activity.

Sefton Neighbourhood Chief Inspector Jerry Harris said: “Education and engagement is such an important part of the work we do alongside Sefton Council and our other partners.

“This inter-schools activity day is a brilliant way for children to channel their energy and creativity in a positive way. During our yearly scrambler bike initiative, we not only want to show young people the serious dangers and nuisance that scrambler bikes cause across the community, but also encourage them to learn different activities, skills and pursuits.

“The enthusiasm we saw from everyone was great, and this autumn term will see them get involved in all sorts of competitions and activities.”

Man stabbed by gang who tried to rob him Report by Henry James A MAN was stabbed by a gang who tried to rob him near to the canal bridge on Wango Lane in Aintree on the evening of Saturday, September 8.

High school faced hectic year but ‘challenges met’ Report by Jim Sharpe THE past school year was one of the most “hectic and demanding” in the history of Maghull High School said new headteacher Davina Aspinall, speaking at her first presentation evening in the role.

“2017/18 was one of the most hectic and demanding years in the history of the school.

“We were challenged by delivering new content and preparing for a wide raft of revised courses with a bigger emphasis on the demands of the final examinations - and we have also been watching our new school building being built ‘before our very eyes’.”

Ms Aspinall said that over the year there had been continued ‘belt tightening’ and they had to do more with less as income fell and costs rose.

She said staff had been prepared to ‘go that extra

mile’ to provide a quality and enriching experience for pupils. And she pointed out that at 'A' level the pass rate continued high with the majority of subjects achieving 100% success rates with many securing their places at university.

At GCSE Year 11 “rose to the challenge of the new specifications,” said Ms Aspinall, with the total percentage of A*-C grades - 4+ on the new system, increased to 70%, up on the previous year.

Ms Aspinall said this academic year is shaping up to be a busy and exciting one.

“Our exciting multi-million pound investment in our new main school building growing before our eyes,” she said.

She said the new build will house “state of the art” facilities including an arts theatre, dining facilities and kitchen, new music suites and science labs.

Guests at the evening were entertained by Hayley Hassall, award winning investigative journalist and anchor on BBC TV's ‘Newsround.’

Student choir group wow judges at X Factor audition

S A U T O B OesDas IE standard!

Where excellence com

Report by Tom Martin A LIVERPOOL-based choir group have their sights set on X Factor glory after sailing through the live auditions last weekend.

LMA Choir, which is made up of current students at the Liverpool Media Academy, got a standing ovation from judges Louis Tomlinson, Robbie Williams, Ayda Williams and Simon Cowell.

There are four local singers from Sefton and north Liverpool area in the 15-person group - Jenny Fairbrother, 21, from Bootle; Sam Conlan, 23, from Bootle; Sophie Ortt, 22, from Maghull and Rachel Chambers, 25, from Anfield.

They are all studying either music or musical theatre at the LMA, located in the city centre, and they are now hoping to carve out a career as singers as part of the LMA Choir.

They certainly showed potential on the Saturday, September 15 episode of the X Factor, when they sang a rendition of This Is Me, from The Greatest Showman, to a packed out audience at The SSE Arena at Wembley.

Robbie Williams was so impressed by the group, he even went backstage after the audition to congratulate them all and give them a celebratory hug!

Following in the footsteps of successful acts such as Little Mix, One Direction and Leona Lewis, the group will now perform in the next stage of the competition.

The LMA choir is made up of the founder and Creative Director, Stephanie Wallace Carr, and 14 young people from musical courses at LMA.

Stephanie said: “We really wanted to audition for The X Factor. Who wouldn’t?

It’s a huge opportunity for both the students and for LMA. “It’s the biggest platform on TV in terms of music, and showing yourselves off.

“For me, seeing the choir perform at the auditions was a proud moment. I feel like I’m the proud mum!

“I was a performer myself – and I think this even beats that feeling. What I get from the students is just surreal, they’re so talented.

“There’s just no other feeling like it. It’s just absolute pride.”

Choir member Lyndsey Skeaping said: “One of the stand out moments was

when we went backstage and Robbie Williams came back to congratulate us.

He gave all 15 of us a big hug and said ‘I just want to hug you all and tell you that you were amazing’.

“That was definitely the most star struck ‘oh my god this is real’ moment for me.

“Being part of LMA has given us some amazing opportunities. It offers hands on experience into the industry you want to go into after you leave.

“The thing with LMA is that it is a bit smaller than a normal university too so it gives you an environment where everyone is friends and it’s safe to grow, learn and get better. We really are just one big family.”

LETTERS to the Editor Fine parents if their children’s commit vandalism In order to stop the many mindless acts of vandalism, bus shelters being wrecked, graffiti spraying etc., we should make the parents responsible for ALL the damage done by their feral children.

Drivers should take care when overtaking cyclists

Having recently had a few near misses with motor vehicles pulling out of side roads etc, I thought I would highlight a problem.

Many drivers think, it is only a cyclist approaching, and as such, they could make their move without interfering with the cyclists progress.

As a keen cyclist for many years, can I remind drivers that many cyclist do travel at speed, 25 plus mph is nothing new for those on training runs or just keeping fit.

Giving cyclists sufficient room to make a sudden manoeuvre when overtaking them, is not asking too much for the safety of the cyclist and other road users.

I wear all the correct safety conspicuity gear,

clothing/footwear etc, and still, drivers make the excuse that they had not seen me.

My experiences have led me to purchase a small helmet mounted camera.

This was something I did not want to do, but circumstances have forced me.

I have asked for this article to be included in the hope that it brings about a little more thought from those who do not, or did not realise what speeds we can achieve while cycling, and why enough room should be given to a cyclist when overtaking them.

PICTURE of the week

Members of Southport Model Railway Society in period costume last Saturday as they met at the town’s railway station to embark on a special journey to mark 170 years since a rail link was established between Southport and Liverpool in 1848. Picture by Martyn Snape.

Big tech companies should do more to protect children Big tech companies need to do more to protect children from online groomers and tackle the vile trade in indecent images.

NSPCC research shows that the equivalent of one child in every primary school classroom surveyed has been sent a naked or semi-naked image from an adult; and one in 50 had sent a nude or semi-nude image to an adult.

That is appalling, and something no child should have to experience.

But this isn’t inevitable.

Social media sites often know where we shop, what we buy and even where we go on holiday to target us with adverts.

If they can use that technology for profit then why not to flag the risks to our children and proactively detect these groomers.

These companies clearly can’t be trusted to mark their own homework so it’s time the Government acts and forces social networks to play their part.

The NSPCC’s Wild West Web campaign is calling on the government to create an independent regulator, with the power to investigate and to fine social networks which fall short.

And social networks must be forced to publish annual transparency reports about the scale of abuse on their platforms.

We already know from police that where the method used in grooming offences is recorded, more than 70% are happening on Facebook, Snapchat or Instagram.

Of course, parents need to take steps to ensure their children are as safe as can be online, and we must teach children online safety in schools so that they can take steps to guard against online harms and be savvy about what’s risky.

But online platforms should be built to be safe in the first place, just like any other product used by children.

Helen Westerman, NSPCC campaigns manager

Catholic Church does not care about state of my wife’s grave

One Vision Housing should look after their decent tenants

I could not agree more with the letter in the Champion on her complaint to the Roman Catholic Church.

I too, wrote to the Liverpool catholic Cemeteries, Croxteth Drive, Sefton Park, at the mess that was left on the headstone of my wife’s grave in Ford Cemetery.

A grace was dug next to my wife’s grave.

The grave was covered but the headstone was left uncovered.

The stone was covered from top to bottom with soil and mud, the vases were smashed and flowers we had in the vases were crushed.

My family and I visit every Sunday, and keep

Having read the letter in the Champion, September 6, regarding One Vision Housing, I would like to say that I agree entirely with the person who wrote in.

We too in our road are suffering with OVH. A few people across the way have been informed they are no longer allowed plant pots, sheds, fences and garden furniture!

The reason being, it is all a fire hazard in the communal gardens.

I want to know if this applies to every OVH, house, flat and bungalow.

Hanging washing out is, therefore, a fire

the grave clean and tidy.

We contacted the firm that maintains the cemeteries and showed pictures of the mess on the headstone and got no apology.

I wrote to the Catholic Church and heard nothing, phones them several times, but got no apology.

They won’t even listen to my MP after I contacted Peter Dowd’s office.

Pete Williams, Litherland

hazard as is having plant pots in your home with plants.

However, if you are a drug user you are looked after, not prosecuted or evicted.

Come on OVH, isn’t it about time you started looking after the decent tenant who try their utmost to keep their gardens nice.

OVH, you disgust me and many more tenants.

Major road into city to close for upgrade work WORK is underway on installing new underground utility trenches as part of a £22million upgrade to a major route linking Bootle and the city centre.

Contractors started the latest phase of the Great Howard Street (A565) scheme on Tuesday, September 18, which means the inbound lane, heading south to the city centre, will be closed for four weeks from the junction of Blackstone Street. The outbound lane will also be reduced to a single lane.

Motorists travelling into Liverpool from Bootle will be guided by a series of road diversions at Millers Bridge, Bankhall Street, Sandhills Lane and Boundary Street

– and the advised route is to use Stanley Road, Commercial Road and Vauxhall Road.

The utility works are timetabled to run until Friday, October 19, but will be suspended from Thursday-Sunday, October 47 as the city hosts The Giants spectacle.

The upgrade of Great Howard Street, which will see it become a full dual carriageway in Autumn 2019, is part of a wider £100m investment in the roads infrastructure along the north Liverpool docks including the relaying of Regent Road with a new cycle lane, as well as the forthcoming creation of two new waterfront link roads to support Liverpool City Council’s new Cruise Terminal and the new

Isle of Man Ferry terminal.

Earlier phases on the Great Howard Street scheme included a new bridge, completed last September, which was designed to support freight traffic for the Liverpool Superport and a new wall to improve access to the historic Stanley Flight canal lock system, which sits within Liverpool’s World Heritage site.

The investment is seen as crucial to the development of major regeneration schemes such as the Ten Streets creativity district and Peel’s £5bn Liverpool Waters scheme. The works would also benefit Everton FC’s proposed new stadium at Bramley Moore Dock.

Man, 28 in court over medication theft from care home

Man who possessed cannabis was given away by smell A MAN from Bootle was found in possession of cannabis after a police officer smelt the drug on him.

Angela Blackmore, prosecuting at Sefton Magistrates Court on September 12, said a 28-year-old man was seen by an officer on the car park of Bootle’s Lidl store on August 20.

“He was approached by the officer and there was a noticeable smell of cannabis on him,” she said, “He was searched under the Misuse of Drugs Act. When spoken to, he said, ‘I have got some weed on me.’”

The magistrates fined him £100 and ordered that he pay £115 in costs and victim surcharge.

The Northern Club, on Elm Avenue, has been able to build the new facility after getting £60,000 from the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) as well as £10,000 from Sefton Council towards a security fence.

It has taken around four weeks to complete, with work coming to a conclusion on Thursday, September 13, and there are plans to hold a grand unveiling at the end of the month.

He said: “State of the art, all weather practice facilities will enable more junior practice, coaching and improvement of cricketers at all levels.

“Local schools can hire the facility most months of the year.

“As a club it will help us retain and attract more young players to bolster our playing membership and help run the five teams we have on Saturdays.

“Lancashire CCC plan to play more 2nd XI games at Northern next season and all the county playing staff can train at Northern now we have this facility.

“The new facility can help young cricketers because it’s not reliant on dry weather or grass pitches, which are difficult and costly to prepare.

“Four lanes means up to 32 players can practice simultaneously.”

A MAN from Bootle has been charged with burglary when a “large amount of medication” was stolen from a residential home.

Liam Mooney, 28, of Chaucer Street, Bootle, has been charged with burglary after someone broke into Lyndhurst Residential home, on Orrell Lane, in Walton, and stole medication on Friday, August 24 at 3.30am.

He is due to appear at Sefton Magistrates Court.

Tougher jail sentences for attacks on emergency service workers welcomed A NEW law aimed at handing out tougher jail terms to people who attack emergency service workers has been welcomed by the Deputy Police Commissioner for Merseyside.

It means those responsible face a maximum sentence which will double from six to 12 months in prison, and this will cover police, prison officers, custody officers, fire service personnel, search and rescue services and paramedics.

The Assaults on Emergency Works (Offences) Bill,

also creates a statutory aggravating factor which means that judges must consider tougher sentences for a range of other offences - including GBH and sexual assault - if the victim is an emergency worker.

The Bill, which has become known as the Protect the Protectors Bill, will come into force in November and has been backed by Merseyside’s Deputy Police Commissioner, Cllr Emily Spurrell.

She said: “Emergency service workers risk their lives to protect people and to keep our communities

safe from harm. It is abhorrent that they are subjected to threats, violence and attacks for doing this vital work.

“This is a welcome step in the right direction in ensuring emergency service workers get the protection they deserve. Being attacked should never be part of working life for those who put on a uniform to serve the public.

“I hope we will now see more severe sentences for those who carry out such attacks.”

School cleaning job taught me a vital lesson about the worth of manual workers EVEN as I sit here tapping out this week’s ‘Dog’ I should in fact be sitting in a reserved seat as a guest at Maghull High School's annual presentation evening.

This will be the first of such evenings I have missed over the best part of 30 years.

The reason for my absence this time around is a real stinker of a cold - and though it has got somewhat better than it was yesterday, I'm still snivelling, coughing and wheezing like a, oh I don't know, like a thing that wheezes.

For the first time in my life I don't reckon I'd be altogether welcome at the school.

In fact, I well remember the school - then Maghull Secondary Modern, being built - it is but a five minute walk from where I live.

And it also provided me with my first (and only) experience of work outside journalism.

When I, along with my boss was made redundant from my job in the PR department at BT's Colchester HQ, I ‘came home to mum’ in Maghull and eventually to the Champion (while my boss arguably did better becoming an MP).

Mind you, I still work for the Champion, my erstwhile boss and friend got the sack in a subsequent election.

But back to Maghull High. Lounging around with time on my hands, I met the then caretaker who offered me a job as a school cleaner.

The early morning hours suited me fine, but it became apparent that my presence as the sole male cleaner upset one or two of the existing cleaning staff. So I agreed that instead of cleaning classrooms I would busy myself making sure the outsides of the school were clean and litter free.

I thoroughly enjoyed it - and took a pride in making Maghull High’s exterior spotless each morning.

And as a bonus, I was allowed to use the incinerator too - a comfort in the cool morning air.

Anyway, since rejoining local newspapers I suppose I sort of ‘adopted’ my local school and have delighted to see it grow in stature to one of high national status.

Now I am three-quarters of the way through my self-imposed two-day isolation and in truth feeling a good bit better - which is just as well because if I don’t emerge from hibernation tomorrow the paper won’t receive this column and you won’t be able to read it.

Bad news indeed. But worse - if I do not get about tomorrow I will run out of spuds for my dinner - as well as the vital green vegetables for the main course and the goats' milk which I believe is thought better for your tummy than the plain old cow variety - though I still draw the line at taking anything less genuine than the ‘blue top’ variety.

Also the dogs are I fear getting bored with me moping and coughing around the place - though I’m afraid Tina (who is moulting) will find a revitalised me ready with the dog brush, which she hates.

Cinders finished her moulting while on holiday but loves being brushed and will take any amount of grooming. In fact, Cinders seems to take enjoyment out of just about every aspect of her frantic life. I've never seen her sad for more than a moment - she is one of life’s perpetual optimists.

I seem to have strayed quite a way from schools though the then Tina did accompany me occasionally when I was cleaning outside the school.

Not really satisfactory because one eye had to be kept for the dog whilst the other supervised the tying up of rubbish sacks.

I'll tell you what my few months of school cleaning did do for me though.

It banished any stupid thoughts I may have harboured about manual workers being somehow inferior to those in office jobs, and it made me realise that Cinders might just have something - you can take pleasure from the most unlikely things.

You remember I mentioned Cinder's stuffed lamb? It still exists, soggily these days, in the back garden - and it's still the first thing the daft dog goes to pick up and trot hopefully around with when she goes out there.

Residents enjoy garden party ELDERLY residents at a retirement home in Bootle got dressed up to enjoy their annual party.

Those who live at Mill Spring Court organise the event every year so they can have afternoon tea and sing some songs.

This is the second time it has been organised by Cathy Graham, who hailed it as a complete success and is already planning next year's event.

Campaign aims to warn of shisha smoking dangers Public health officials target ‘hubble bubble’ users Report by Tom Martin

HEALTH officials in the borough have issued a warning over smoking shisha pipes as part of a new awareness campaign.

Shisha, which is also known as hookah, narghile, waterpipe, or hubble bubble smoking, is a way of smoking tobacco, sometimes mixed with fruit or molasses sugar, through a bowl and hose or tube.

The tube ends in a mouthpiece from which the user inhales the smoke deep into their lungs.

But studies show an hour smoking a shisha pipe is the equivalent of having between 100200 cigarettes.

Shisha smoking is traditionally used by people from Middle Eastern or Asian community groups, but is becoming increasingly popular elsewhere, particularly among young people aged 1825.

Now, public health officials want to raise awareness of the harmful health effects by targeting students during the opening weeks of the new higher education academic year, including

Shisha smoking is becoming more popular with young people

visiting fresher fairs, community events and college open days to spread the word. Director of Public Health, (Cheshire and Merseyside) Dr Sandra Davies, said: “We have had huge success in reducing the smoking rate in Liverpool, which has virtually halved over the last decade, meaning long term health benefits to many thousands of people.

“However, we risk some of this great work being undone as a result of people smoking shisha, which has the potential to be far more harmful due to the intensity of deep inhalation of chemicals and poisons.

“There is some evidence that because shisha is flavoured, people don’t realise how harmful it is and that it is equivalent to them smoking a huge number of cigarettes in one go.”

There are around a dozen shisha cafes in Liverpool, and people who use some of them are at risk of being issued with a £50 fixed penalty notice because it is classed as smoking indoors.

Smoking increases the chances of coronary heart disease and oral, lung and stomach cancer.

People who want to stop smoking can get support from Smokefree Liverpool on 0800 061 4212.

ENTERTAINMENT

Acts returning with memories of town and Merseyside

Tony Manero (Richard Windsor) and Stephanie (Kate Parr) on the dance floor

TV star led cast in terrific production of Saturday Night Fever Review by Henry James YOU were hit by the pulsating music right at the start of Saturday Night Fever and it never relented throughout the show.

This soundtrack from the film is the second most popular of all time - and it is not hard to see why.

It includes some of the Bee Gees’ greatest hits, such as Stayin’ Alive and Night Fever.

The show's gritty story stands on its own as well, even without the music, and has been directed

by Bill Kenwright who was watching in the auditorium of the Liverpool Empire where the production could be seen last week.

Richard Windsor played Tony Manero, the role made famous by John Travolta. Audiences may remember him as Cal in Casualty, a similar character to Tony and also a ladies’ man.

However Richard used more of his ballet training here and in particular after tragedy hits his life in the second half of the show. He also led the dancing throughout the night.

The dancing was slick and the company needs a mention. It looked like they were all enjoying being in this production.

Some of the cast had solo numbers too. Annette (Anna Campkin) who loves Tony, but finds her love is not returned, gave a good rendition of If I Can’t

Have You, sung by Yvonne Elliman on the movie soundtrack.

Bobby C (Raphael Pace) who has the weight of the world on his shoulders, also sang Tragedy.

Stephanie (Kate Parr) performed What Kind of Fool.

The action took part on many levels and there were some realistic backdrops, which accurately showed the famous New York skyline. They included the Brooklyn Bridge.

I liked the fact too that the band was on stage with the actors as it made them part of the action.

AQUARELLE Guitar Quartet have been touring ‘pop-up’ performances in shopping malls and supermarkets in Wigan, Skelmersdale, Chorley and Burscough to announce the opening of Parbold Douglas Music’s 2018-19 season.

The Aquarelle Guitar Quartet in a performance in the Auditorium in the Village Hall WN8 7DN this Saturday, September 22 at 7.45 p.m.

From their roots at the Royal College of Music Manchester more than a decade ago, the Aquarelle Quartet is now acknowledged as one of Britain’s leading music groups.

These four classical guitarists (Michael Baker, Vasilis Bessas, James Jervis and Rory Russell) are praised as a dynamic and innovative quartet that is known for their extraordinary ensemble in performance.

Aquarelle’s original arrangements of music from a wide range of styles, periods and cultures is a feature of their performances.

Their Parbold programme draws on music from four continents and a host of styles and genres, featuring many of the group’s most popular performance pieces, in what the Gramophone calls their “blend of highoctane virtuosity, relaxed lyricism, tonal richness and perfection of ensemble.

P.J.Proby at Kingsway Club with Pete James (guitar on right) and Frank Johns (keyboard) in 1990

Report by Ron Ellis THE last ever Sixties Gold Tour arrives at Southport Theatre on Wednesday, October 3 and on top of the bill are three acts with special memories of Southport and Merseyside.

Sixties superstar, ponytailed P.J. Proby, was the country ’s biggest attraction in 1965 before he split his trousers at the Croydon Empire after which his career nosedived.

I first saw him at The Liverpool Empire on a Sunday night show when the curtain came down at 10.30pm prompt. Proby, though, carried on singing and even after the sound had been switched off he crawled under the ensuing safety curtain to finish his number to the delight of screaming fans.

I met him in London, some time after the Croydon incident, and we stayed in touch over the years. He played the Southport Floral Hall a couple of times, made an album with Savoy Records in Manchester and then in 1989, he made a CD featuring a song I had written for him called Hot California Nights with Kenny Parry of The Merseybeats on guitar and Frank Johns, of Bootle-based Bilbo Baggins Band, on keyboards.

To launch the CD, Liverpool club owner, Roy Adams, put P.J. on his Kingsway Club on Southport Promenade. The band was augmented by Southport guitarist, Pete James (a.k.a. Eddie Vincent) on lead guitar.

Hot California Nights was later recorded by the Womersley Brothers, Barry and Don. Barry Womersley was in Southport’s Rhythm’n’Blues Inc. who had a hit with Louie Louie in 1964 and who later joined Inner Sleeve, winners of T.V.’s Oppor-

tunity Knocks.

By the early 90’s, Proby was back on top with his first hit for 30 years, Yesterday Has Gone, featuring Southport hitmaker, Marc Almond, and he was soon touring on the theatre circuit, starring in a number of nationwide shows promoted by Jack Good and Bill Kenwright, before joining the Sixties Gold tours. I spoke to him at his home in the Cotswolds and he said he is looking forward to being back in Southport again.

Both The Searchers and The Merseybeats too have made regular visits to Southport over the years, appearing at the Kingsway Club, The Floral Hall and Southport Theatre.

The Searchers started out in 1960 playing mainly on the Northern side of Liverpool. John McNally, who lives in Blundellsands, remembers playing at Litherland Town Hall and Aintree Institute for impresario, Brian Kelly. He said: “Brian ran Alpha Sound in Waterloo and supplied music equipment to many local bands. We also played St. John’s Hall in Bootle where Dave Forshaw from Litherland ran the dances.”

The Merseybeats too worked for Brian Kelly and Dave Forshaw at those same venues. Founder member, Billy Kinsley, who lives in Thornton said: “Dave was just fourteen and a half when he first started the gigs at St. John’s. He had The Beatles on the bill twice, and he is still running his agency today, well over half a century later.”

Billy later formed Liverpool Express in the 1970’s, with whom he had several worldwide hits and, although back with The Merseybeats, he still does occasional gigs with them today.

All three acts you can see live onstage at Southport Theatre on Wednesday, October 3 on the final Sixties Gold Tour.

Nationally acclaimed band to perform at church

Leyland Band performing

THE nationally acclaimed Leyland Band will perform at Holy Trinity Church, Southport, on Sunday, September 30 at 3pm.

Following their Southport visit the ever-popular brass band will be in London performing in the Royal Albert Hall - representing the North West in the finals of the National Brass Band Championships of Great Britain. This comes straight after being placed sixth in the 2018 British Open Brass Band Championships in a field of 19 of the world’s best bands.

Two seconds is a surprisingly useful measurement...

Which is why I’m glad that the man who briefly made moustaches cool in the early 1990s, Nigel Mansell, is giving his backing to a new campaign to stop people tailgating.

The 1992 Formula One world champion reckons it’s an ‘utterly deplorable habit’ that does precisely zilch to make you a better driver.

I’m glad that he’s involved, because none of my more radical solutions would’ve got past the Department for Transport’s sense checkTWO seconds. It might not seem that long as ers. increments of time go but it’s a surprisingly My initial idea of having snipers on motoruseful way of measuring things. way bridges with their crosshairs trained on It is, for instance, how far I’ll get into each tailgaters obviously wouldn’t have worked – if episode of Bodyguard before I’m completely only because every time someone cuts into and utterly lost trying to work out what’s going your safe space, they briefly make you the tailon. gater until you hit the brakes, and the last It’s also roughly how long I can listen to any thing you’d want in that tense moment is a Black Eyed Peas song before wishing for a pair bored ex-squaddie shooting out your front of noise-cancelling headphones.

The road safety mantra’s the same regardless However, I can’t see either of these ideas of whether you’re pursuing a tractor or the new making into commuting reality, so how about TVR – only a fool breaks the two-second rule. treating the ‘utterly deplorable habit’ the same way the Government already does with smoking?

It’s simple – every car is fitted with a TV screen embedded in its bootlid and a rearUSED CAR SPECIALISTS facing radar scanner, not unlike the ones already used for parking sensors. Get too close and the screen would show you images of cars that have totalled by tailgaters – and Mr Impatient Sales Rep backs off.

Mariners hit woodwork three times as Young is denied a winning start Warrington Town 1 Marine 0 MARINE began life under new manager Neil Young with a narrow defeat after a first half penalty was enough for Warrington to seal the points.

Young, 43, was appointed last week to replace Tommy Lawson after a disappointing start to the season.

Young’s playing career was cut short by injury at the age of 24 and he began his managerial roles in local football with Queen’s Park and Poulton Victoria, before joining Rhyl as assistant manager in 2004, the club winning the Welsh Cup in Neil Young.

2006 and also qualifying for UEFA competitions in three consecutive seasons.

He joined Cammell Laird as joint manager in 2007, the team being promoted to the Northern Premier League Premier Division as runners up.

A two year spell as manager at Colwyn Bay began in 2008 with success again coming quickly, the Seagulls making the playoffs in his first season but going one better the following year by clinching promotion to the NPL Premier Division as play-off winners.

He became the first manager of the newly formed Chester FC in summer 2010. The Deva Stadium club went on to record an unprecedented triple promotion, winning the NPL North, NPL Premier and Conference North in consecutive seasons, breaking a host of records on the way. Neil was also given the accolade of Conference North Manager of the Year in 2013 as well as an Honorary Degree from the University of Chester.

He has also had spells as manager at Stockport County and Altrincham and more recently was head of scouting at FC Halifax Town with a spell also as caretaker manager until February 2018.

Young said: “I’m really happy to be given the opportunity to manage Marine. There is great potential here and recent results, in particular Tuesday night’s win in the FA Cup at Scarborough show the players are determined to improve results and move up the table. I am really looking forward to the challenge ahead.”

Marine chairman Paul Leary said: “This is a great appointment. Neil has a wealth of managerial experience and has been a very successful non-league manager.

“I am very pleased that caretaker manager Ian Johnson, who has done so well in the last three games, is to be retained by Neil.

“Ian masterminded a superb FA Cup replay win away at Scarborough Athletic this week and deserves the opportunity to continue to work with the players and the new manager.”

The Mariners were unlucky on Saturday and hit the woodwork three times, courtesy of Chris Doyle's thumping first half header, a long throw which skimmed off a defender ’s head and Danny Mitchley’s shot from a narrow angle all hitting the frame of the goal.

Marine’s best chance fell to Liam Hynes inside the opening ten minutes, his low shot being parried by an excellent save from Tony McMillan.

Warrington took the lead from a penalty, after Dylan Vassallo was brought down and Jack Mackreth’s well struck spot kick beat Martin Fearon.

The home defence have been strong so far this season and kept the Mariners at bay during the second half, the Yellows only really threatening to extend their lead late on as the game stretched.

Home substitute Richard Brodie saw red for a second yellow card but the visitors were unable to find the equaliser their display merited.

Marine came away from Scarborough last Tuesday with an excellent win in a pulsating FA Cup First Round Qualifying replay.

A Danny Mitchley bullet header gave Marine an early lead, followed up by an opportunist goal from Dom Reid after an defensive mix-up Scarborough reduced the arrears just before half time, but Marine got a third goal on the hour when Mitchley released Craig Carney who hammered a rising drive into the net Scarborough scored with nine minutes left but the Mariners held out to book a home tie with Frickley Athletic on Saturday, September 22.

Lacklustre Bucks crash out of Vase Bootle 0 Hallam 1 BOOTLE crashed out of the FA Vase on Saturday after Micah Bishop’s second half header handed Hallam a 1-0 victory, writes Connor O’Neill.

They were static, careless in possession and posed a minimal threat going forward. So minimal in fact that visiting goalkeeper Andrew Sneath

didn’t have a save to make.

And with Hallam also struggling to find any rhythm in the final third the game slowly became a difficult watch.

Bucks boss Stafford introduced Elliot Nevitt and Johnny Foy in a bid to freshen things up at half-time and it nearly worked as Nevitt drove into the Hallam box but despite making space to get a shot off he failed to

control his effort with the ball sailing well over the crossbar.

With twelve minutes remaining, the only goal of the game arrived. Reece Treasure swung in a corner with Bishop rising highest inside a crowded box to head the ball into the far corner of the net.

The Bucks return to league action on Saturday when they host Abbey Hey.

Early exit for Maghull in county cup FC Pilchy 3 Maghull 1 DESPITE suffering the first reversal of their campaign at the hands of Mossley Hill the previous week, Maghull retained top spot in the First Division of the West Cheshire League.

However their involvement in

the Liverpool Challenge Cup came to an abrupt end in the first round last Saturday when they were defeated by three goals to one by Liverpool County Premier League outfit F C Pilchy at the Liverpool County FA ground.

Maghull’s only strike came courtesy of an own goal.

Next Saturday Maghull hope to

repeat a two nil success of three weeks ago when the play hosts in the return fixture to current West Cheshire League Champions South Liverpool at Old Hall .

The Reserves have received a bye in the first round of the Liverpool County FA Junior Cup so at the time of going to press they are without a match.

The Northern players celebrate with the Champions’ pennant.

Champions Northern end season in style THE 2018 Liverpool & District Cricket Competition drew to a close with Northern, Southport & Birkdale and Old Xaverians duly crowned champions of the top three divisions.

Surprisingly nobody from the league committee was on hand to present the trophy as Premier Division champions Northern finished off their campaign with a 56 run home win against third placed Formby.

The hosts elected to bat and thanks to a third century in four innings from Liam Grey 101*, 58 from Chris Brownlow and an unbeaten 38 from Justin Snow they were able to declare 252-4.

In reply, Ben Aitchison 51 and skipper James Seward 39 top scored for the visitors who like so many other clubs this season were undone by the spin of Tom Sephton who took his season’s league wicket tally to 93 with 8-61 which included a hat-trick as Formby were dismissed for 196.

Ormskirk finished 65 points adrift in second place as they ended with a home draw against Rainhill.

The visitors chose to bat and thanks to a century from Tyler McGladdery 124 (15x4 & 3x6) and an unbeaten 34 from James Clarke were able to declare on 220-4 off 50 overs. In reply, George Lavelle top scored with 35 as the hosts finished on 142-6 with Ryan Williams taking 354.

Well that wraps up the league reports for this season. Thanks to all the clubs and individuals who’ve helped me out with information over the season, if any clubs sign or lose any players

Bootle bat well on tricky pitch to lift Ray Digman Trophy FIRWOOD Bootle concluded their 2018 season in the best possible fashion by lifting the Ray Digman Trophy for the eighteenth time in its various incarnations.

Rain delayed the start at Rainford by an hour and the match was reduced from 45 to 43 overs per side, Bootle’s acting captain Neil Williams opting to field when he won the toss.

It immediately became clear that the wicket was not an easy one on which to bat when the home side slumped to 76-7. A dogged 33 not out from their Australian Comrey Edgeworth,

01704 392 392

helped by tail enders Dan Houghton and Andy Davies, eventually took them to 134 all out.

Openers Will Hale and Michael Farrell gave Bootle a solid start with a stand of 48 when both were dismissed at the same total.

A patient 37 from Sam Kershaw was instrumental in the visitors chiseling out the runs to win by five wickets with 33 balls to spare, Danny Davies being named man of the match for his economical 3-28 from nine overs in the first innings.

The previous day’s defeat at Rake Lane in a match which had a distinct end-of-term feel about

www.champnews.com

it nevertheless allowed Bootle to clinch fourth spot in the Premier League, half-centuries from Kershaw (54) and Vishal Tripathi (52) leading to a declaration at 226-8 after 54 overs.

An aggressive knock of 77 from 63 balls by opener Mark Rowland in a second wicket partnership of 82 with Tom Horrocks set New Brighton on the right track. This was reinforced by a subsequent stand of 103 between Horrocks (42) and Andy Clarke which took their team to within easy reach of victory, the latter being 72 not out when the hosts won by 6 wickets after 59 overs.

Kitchens Whether you are looking at ripping out the old and installing a brand new kitchen, moving your kitchen to a new room or are simply looking to update and modernise the space, there are a number of ways to achieve the look you want. An important factor to consider is whether you will carry out the work yourself, or look to employ the services of one of the area’s many reputable companies.

For many of us, the kitchen really is the heart of the home. Have you ever wondered why it is that family, and friends all tend to congregate here.

Looking for some budget kitchen ideas?

If your current kitchen is looking a little tired, you don’t have to spend a fortune to give it a fresh , modern look. All it takes is a little time, effort and creativity. If your cupboards are looking a bit dated, in terms of style or colour, why not consider replacing the doors providing the rest of the unit is still in good condition.

Alternatively, a few coats of paint can refresh the look

of them and both of these options are cheaper and less hassle than replacing the entire kitchen.

It’s amazing how much we accumulate over the years in our homes. And this also applies to the kitchen.

Wallcoverings & Decorating Decorating the home usually involves changing the decor on the walls. Once upon a time this meant wallpaper. Today however, wallcoverings are made from a whole array of materials of which paper is just one. So what is there to choose from?

To begin with, the traditional wallpaper is available in a huge array of colours and patterns and, most importantly, a range of qualities.

An alternative to paper is vinyl. Again this can be GLIĆ&#x201C; FXOW WR KDQGOH 7KH WULFN LV WR DSSO\ MXVW WKH ULJKW amount of the right type of adhesive. There are the so-called ready pasted vinyls. These usually come with a special pan into which water is put. Once cut to size, the length is folded into the pan then drawn out and ZRUNHG LQWR SODFH RQ WKH ZDOO 8QIRUWXQDWHO\ WKLV LVQĹ?W quite as easy as it sounds and again requires a certain DPRXQW RI SUDFWLFH WR DFKLHYH WKH SHUIHFW Ć&#x201C; QLVK

Even more necessary is to buy the very best equipment you can afford. For example, the cheapest SDVWH WDEOHV DUH XVXDOO\ YHU\ Ĺ´ LPV\ DIIDLUV WKDW ZREEOH alarmingly when you are trying to measure, cut and paste the wall covering. You do need a table that VWDQGV Ć&#x201C; UP 7KH VFLVVRUV PXVW EH JRRG DQG VKDUS The brushes too should be of good quality, the one to apply adhesive slightly stiff and absorbent, the smooth EUXVK VRIW DQG Ĺ´ H[LEOH 7KH Ć&#x201C; QDO UHTXLUHPHQW LV WKH DGKHVLYH DQG WKLV

If the paper is heavy or of another materials than paper, special adhesives will be required. They come both ready mixed and in easy to mix, powder form. For walls that are in any way susceptible to damp, the adhesive should contain a fungicide for obvious reasons though a damp-proof treatment before decorating is advisable. Walls that have been re-plastered within the past six months must not be covered. It takes at least six months for plaster to dry thoroughly. The alternative in such a case is paint.

Paint is generally applied over an undercoat.

When buying paint, always buy the recommended undercoat. In fact always follow the instructions exactly.

Decorating a room is best approached slowly and carefully. The best materials should be used and instructions followed exactly at all stages.

To hang a wall covering you need a certain amount of the right equipment, and to try to decorate a wall without it is a sure way to disaster. The minimum equipment includes:- a folding paste table, brush with which to apply adhesive, brush with which to smooth

However, never be put off. In decorating as in everything else, practice will eventually make perfect.

Furniture & Fabrics Until you really need to go out and buy new furnishings for your home, you probably won’t fully appreciate the changes in style, the wealth of design ideas and the sheer range of materials available in the shops today.

There comes a time however, when some refurbishment has to be done, when we move perhaps, or when some radical renewal of décor or internal building work has been carried out? Then it is we decide, not just to renew the decor, but to replace those familiar ‘household goods’ with which we have lived for so long. We are faced with the whole cultural shock of design ideas and a range of materials and fabrics we had never thought to see.

However, this is what living in the second decade of the 21st century is all about. Never before has there been quite the freedom of choice, scope of inspiration or value for money in furniture and furnishing fabrics with user-friendliness, durability and eye-appeal.

curtains, blinds, cushions, lamp shades and loose covers.

most up-to-date homes are furnished with a subtle combination of the two.

However some home improvements can add considerable value to your home, which for many of us is the main asset that we own.

Convert your basement Transform your basement into a living or storage space and you could increase the value of your property by as much as 30%, providing the build cost per sq foot is less than the price per sq foot of the area. Converting a cellar or basement into an additional room in your home is one of the most economical home improvements you can make as it generally doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t require planning permission.

Loft Conversion Not only will a loft conversion create additional space in the home without the need to move, research has indicated that converting your loft to create an extra bedroom can add up to 15% to the value of your home, especially if you can include an ensuite bathroom as part of the conversion. Most lofts can be converted although itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a good idea to get an architect or builder to double check before you start planning.

The bathroom is another area where buyers may have their own ideas and styles but a clean, modern, well maintained room will be money well spent. Installing a brand new bathroom can be expensive though. If your current bathroom is just a little dated rather than in very poor condition then you may not make back a huge amount more than the cost of the upgrade.

Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be afraid of introducing pattern into a small space behind a desk, as an interesting wallpaper or mural will cleverly distract from a messy desk and can play with the perception of space. If wallpaper isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t your thing, you could use a pinboard, wall-mounted clipboards or rows of curtain wire with small pegs to hang up inspirational tear sheets, photos and postcards to make an interesting backdrop to your study area.
