MUSIC MAESTRO FORMS HIS OWN ORCHESTRA - AT AGE OF JUST 18!

Resort musician, composer and conductor launches Northern Philharmonic... and debut performance will be in home town

•

INSIDE THIS WEEK...

Theatre billionaire hails from Southpor t

Report by Tom Martin A YOUNG musician, composer and conductor from Southport has created his own regional orchestra.

Joshua Quinlan, at the age of just 18, has established the Northern Philharmonic Orchestra which is set to play its debut concert in his home town in August.

According to Joshua - who is also a talented clarinettist - the formation of the new orchestra is the realisation of an ambition that dates back to his earliest involvement in music as a child.

The creation of the Northern Philharmonic Orchestra follows hot on the heels of another landmark musical milestone for the musical prodigy.

Late last year Joshua was invited to conduct his own piece at London’s Royal Albert Hall as part of the Music for Youth proms concerts which highlight the work of some of the UK’s ‘most creative, innovative and energetic young musicians’. Joshua, who is currently studying for a degree in music at the University of York, led members of the Liverpool Philharmonic Youth Company who were performing his composition, Songs of Stone.

The new orchestra is mainly comprised of top conservatoire students and professional musicians, though it also contains a number of players from the National Youth Orchestra of Great Britain, the Halle Youth Orchestra, the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Youth Orchestra and junior conservatoire students.

Star Trekkers converge on the starting line to take part in the 13th annual midnight walk through Southport

Almost 1,000 walkers turn out for Star Trekk ALMOST 1,000 participants put their best foot forward to take part in Queenscourt Hospice’s 13th annual sponsored 10K night walk.

The Star Trekk event started and finished at Southport Pleasureland, passing the hospice and returning back through Birkdale Village. It is the hospice’s flagship event and over the past 12 years it has raised more than £750,000.

Although organisers are still totalling up this year ’s amount, they are hoping it will be ‘the best yet’.

A spokesperson for Queenscourt said: “Friends, family members, work colleagues and neighbours of all ages joined forces to show their support with many taking part in memory of a loved one while others simply wanted to do their bit for charity.

“The evening began at Casablanca with the chance to soak up the festive atmosphere and enjoy the pre-Trekk entertainment from Jules and The Ballyhoos and So Talented Academy, along with a warm-up session provided by fitness instructor Sarah McGuinness from Dunes Splash World.

“At 8.30pm, the Trekkers were led over the start line by Queenscourt Hospice therapy dog, OneEyed Jack and waved off by hospice mascot Queenie. The route took the walkers and runners

We, once again, want to express our thanks to the many organisations and businesses from across Southport, Formby and West Lancashire who got behind the event.”

Champion reader Rebecca Dutton told the Champion that she did the walk with friends and family for the ‘fantastic staff’ who cared for her late brother-in-law.

That’s rich! Billionaire theatre impresario hails from Southport

by Henry James THIS year’s Sunday Times Rich List is full of household names who have made their fortune.

But the latest list contains the name of one man very few people outside the world of theatre will have heard of... and he hails from Southport!

Theatre producer John Gore, who grew up in the town, is a new entry in the 2019 Rich List compiled by the Sunday newspaper.

Though boasting an estimated fortune of £1.5bn Mr Gore still only manages to get on the wealthy people list at joint 101st!

Gore, 56, has made his millions from being involved in some of the biggest hit shows on Broadway and the West End including: Hamilton, Wicked, Chicago, Jersey Boys and School of Rock. He has also won an Olivier, an Emmy and 13 Tony awards.

He is also revealed as the biggest donor to the Conservative Party and since the beginning of 2017 he has handed the Tories £2.6m.

He is quoted as saying in the The Sunday Times: “Every single penny made is the result of people enjoying themselves.”

His entry on the Rich List means he joins the likes of famous theatre impresarios Andrew Lloyd Webber and Cameron Macintosh.

After growing up, says the Sunday Times, in the ‘genteel Merseyside town of Southport’, Gore went to Harrow and produced a school play while there. The play was Alan Ayckbourn’s comedy, Confusions, and among the audience was the actress, Diana Rigg, who went to watch it because her stepsons were in it. She said it was ‘funnier than a West End production’. And so the career of John Gore was launched.

Gore, who the Sunday Times says is a single father of one, then read drama and film at Royal Holloway and while there he staged Joe Orton’s farce What the Butler Saw at the Bloomsbury Theatre.

He tried his hand actually on the stage at acting and started drama school in Ealing. However, a life treading the boards was not to be - his career as a thespian lasted just one term... as he couldn’t afford it!

Gore turned once more to producing and he was behind putting on a stage show of Batman which a young Simon Cowell wanted to see transferred to the West End. The two of them worked on

He’s the local boy made good (really good!) on New York’s Broadway and London’s West End thanks to a string of stage hits to his name including Wicked, Jersey Boys and Hamilton... but how many of you have heard of John Gore? achieving their goal, but their efforts failed. Warner Bros then made a Batman film in 1989 for which Gore was involved by selling the merchandising for the film.

As his career progressed, he became theatreland’s youngest ever producer at 26 when he brought Thunderbirds to the West End. Gore, it is reported, has become so powerful on Broadway due to the fact that he bought investments in the original London productions of Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Cats and Phantom of the Opera in the mid-1990s.

Today the John Gore Organisation (JGO) has two divisions: Broadway.com, which carries theatre news and also sells tickets; and he has Broadway Across America, which presents and produces live theatrical events in the United States and Canada.

His business interests, says the Sunday Times, look secure as profits at his New York-based company increased by a third last year to £59.6m on turnover of £588.5m.

Forgotten He is also involved in charitable work and through the Arthur Miller Theatre Education Program, he is paying for thousands of New York children to be taught drama.

His online bio describes him as ‘a committed philanthropist’, and reveals that John and his companies provide support to a ‘diverse array of more than 60 organisations spanning virtually every conceivable sector of not-for-profit theatre work’.

However, his early childhood days here in Southport appear long forgotten. Nowhere is there any mention of his days spent in the seaside resort as a youngster, his bio describing him only as a ‘British producer’.

To be in the Sunday Times Rich List of 1,000 millionaires and billionaires in Britain you would need at least £120m.

For one Southport-born man that goal has been reached and, as he says, by people around the world enjoying themselves.

Sacked player banned from football for four year after failing drugs test

Mike Phenix in action for Southport before his ban

A FORMER Southport FC player has been banned from all footballrelated activity for four years after failing a drugs test.

Mike Phenix, 30, was sacked by the Haig Avenue club in October with immediate effect after failing an out-of-competition test on September 17.

He admitted the presence of Oxandrolone, an anabolic steroid and Benzoylecgonine, which is a metabolite of cocaine, in his sample.

His suspension from football by the FA will run until September 16, 2022 and as well as being banned from playing, he is also barred

Report by Danielle Thompson from working in any capacity within the game including coaching, officiating or other off-field activities.

Phenix joined then-National League side AFC Telford United in 2013 before moving to League One side Barnsley for £25,000, but he made just two substitute appearances for the Tykes.

He moved to Macclesfield Town and Southport on loan before agreeing a permanent deal to join Salford City in 2016. He was Salford

City's top scorer in his first season with the club in 2016-17 as they reached the National League North play-offs He left Salford last summer after they were promoted to the National League and joined Southport in the National League North.

The club also sacked Zac Corbett in October, citing “serious issues” involving the two players.

They have not released the reason that Mr Corbett's contract was terminated.

The period of ineligibility applies from the date of sample collection (September 17, 2018) until midnight on 16 September 16, 2022.

Police and NHS care chiefs team up to put new mental health triage car on the road Report by Tom Martin A NEW mental health triage car has been rolled out to help people with mental health problems get urgent assessment and access to the services they need.

Mersey Care NHS Foundation Trust and Merseyside Police have launched the bespoke vehicle, which is a Mercedes Vito and cost £25,000, to focus on improving urgent mental healthcare across the region including Sefton.

The two organisations, in conjunction with Liverpool and Sefton Clinical Commissioning Groups, have run a triage car service since 2014, until now using a marked police car.

But after a successful joint application to the Beyond Places of Safety Fund, they secured finance to buy a fully equipped new triage car.

Marian Bullivant, Mersey Care’s criminal justice liaison and diversion and triage care operational manager, said: “The mental health triage car initiative has been a great success for all parties – it has helped free up police resources and allowed us to reach people in crisis and provide the

Merseyside Police and their partner organisations show off the new mental health triage car

assessment and care they need.

“This new triage car will enable us to reach more people who need us and strengthens the partnership between ourselves and Merseyside Police. We’ve learned a lot on both sides about how we each work and shared best practice to ensure a highly successful working relationship.”

The vehicle has several bespoke features inside the car that will help provide a more relaxed environment to engage with those in crisis including a seat that allows the option of turning to face the rear seat and a table in between.

The service consists of a police officer and a mental health practitioner in the vehicle, which responds to calls to the police

which may have a mental health theme. It operates seven days a week during the afternoon and evening until midnight.

Merseyside Police’s Mental Health Liaison Officer, Hayley Sherwen, said: “Too often, the police deal with vulnerable people when really they should be signposted to other emergency services who are better placed to support them.

“The triage car allows us to operate more efficiently with our partners and engage more openly with individuals in crisis. The service encounters individuals in both public places or in their own homes and aims to provide them with the safety and confidence to explain their situation to the team.”

Residents hit the roof over £500k building repair bill

by Danielle Thompson PENSIONERS in a town centre retirement development hit the roof when they were told their fully refurbished former hotel needed repairs of almost half-a-million pounds... and they faced having to stump up £14,000 each towards the cost.

The Champion was contacted by a member of the Queens Hotel Court Residents’ Association, who bought his retirement living flat at the former Queens Hotel on The Promenade, overlooking the town's Marine Lake, in 2003.

He said that the brochures advertised the development as a ‘new build’ that had been fully refurbished in 2002, to the tune of £1million.

But he was horrified to be shown a copy of an Inspection Report on the property, completed in June 2017, that revealed the complex needed a new roof, rendering work, and some new windows.

The report, seen by the Champion, stated that second hand slate was used for the refurbishment, and that the ‘quality of workmanship was evidently poor with uneven alignment and sizing’. The leaseholders were told that one option was for some of the residents to pay £14,000 each, while the occupiers of seven flats in another part of the building were told they faced paying £8,000.

TV

But after being contacted by the Champion, Redwing Living has told the worried residents that they will not now be asking them to pay - news which came as a huge relief to the elderly folk who live in Queens Hotel Court.

However, they are angry that it was ever suggested they should pay thousands towards the repair costs.

“It was absolutely disgusting to be asked to contribute to the repairs,” fumed one resident.

“We're all retired, with some residents even in their nineties – where exactly did they think we could rustle up £8,000 to £14,000 from?

“The report makes it crystal clear that the ‘full refurb’ was done on the cheap, reusing old, poor-condition slates and they clearly wanted to push the cost onto a load of vulnerable pensioners despite the report showing that the rendering and roof faults are entirely of their own making!

“The whole thing has been very stressful for us. There are 31 flats, with each dweller paying

£150 every month for maintenance services. So in the 15 years we have lived there, we have all paid £1,800 a year, or a total of £27,000 each, to maintain the building. Between all of us, that comes to a staggering £675,000!

How about they use some of that?”

A spokesperson for Redwing Living said: “As set out in the leasehold agreement, we must inform customers of any required repair works and enter into a period of consultation. Most major works will be covered by the building’s sinking fund.

However, in some cases there might not be enough within the fund to pay for the repairs in full.

This is the case with Queens Hotel Court However, we can confirm we will not be asking residents to pay.

“This particular report was commissioned in 2017 but due to the financial significance of the findings, we requested further investigations and comparable reports as we wanted to present a full and accurate picture to all residents.”

SOME of Sefton’s most vulnerable children and young people have been recognised for their outstanding achievements at the ‘No Limits’ awards ceremony.

Social workers, teachers and mentors nominate children and young people who are in the care of Sefton Council, for an award in recognition of their successes throughout the year.

Now in its 19th year, the ‘No Limits’ awards predominately acknowledge a young person’s achievement in a learning environment, whether in school, further education or an alternative setting.

However, the awards are not based solely on academic progress as they can be won by showing improvement in attendance, personal development, skills and knowledge. Many of the children who have won awards have gone on to do some remarkable things in their lives.

Each year the event is attended by about 300 children and young people and more than 100 foster and kinship carers. Every child nominated is invited to the awards ceremony, with their guests, and all nominees receive a medal, vouchers and certificates in recognition of their hard work.

Twenty-one-year-old Caitlyne is the winner of this year’s top prize. She came into foster care at 13 and has had such a positive experience that she has stayed put with her foster family.

She was described as a dedicated, passionate and extremely hard-working student. She is about to complete a foundation degree in Children and Young People’s studies and has secured a place at the University of Central Lancaster starting in September.

After having gone through a rigorous professional assessment process.

Cllr John Joseph Kelly, Sefton Council’s Cabinet Member for Children, Schools and Safeguarding, said: “Every one of the young people at these awards fully deserves to be recognised for their determination, hard work and dedication. I’m delighted that we are supporting them to reach such achievements.

“Children in care and care leavers are the most vulnerable young people within our communities.

The circumstances in which they are growing up in are more complex and they may not have the same family support as their peers. It is our responsibility to fulfil the traditional parenting role.

“We also need to be ambitious for them and support and encourage them to make a success of their adult life.”

The former Dunscar Garden Centre will be demolished to make way for new offices.

Plans to build offices on former garden centre site approved COUNCILLORS have given the green light for a former Tarleton-based company to return to its roots.

An application to build new offices on the former Dunscar Home & Garden Centre site have been approved by West Lancs Council’s planning committee.

The plan is to redevelop the site on Southport New Road into office buildings to accommodate haulage and logistic specialists Barron Wood Distribution Ltd. The company, which was formed in 1993 by brothers John and David Fairbrother and run from their grandparents’ farm in Tarleton, outgrew its premises and moved to Much Hoole in 2010.

It continued to expand, however, growing from employing 40 staff to approximately 200, and having extended its present building three times has now reached the capacity of the site.

The development will see the demolition of the existing garden centre, cafe, and two bungalows and associated outbuildings and the erection of two one-storey H-shaped office buildings.

The cafe site will be used for car parking.

Dunscar Home & Garden Centre had been run by three generations of the same family for more than 70 years before closing its doors last year.

It was latterly owned by Shaun Lewis and his wife Hilary who announced that they were selling up in January of last year.

Churchtown pub offers road trip across UK for summer sab-bar-tical!

Report by Danielle Thompson STAFF at a Churchtown pub have launched a search for an ‘event tester’ who will be paid £2,000 to travel around the country to visit hostelries.

The Bold Arms on Botanic Road, is advertising a dream ‘Summer Sab-bar-tical’ for event lovers to help shape the pub’s event programme.

The lucky winner will undertake a road trip across the UK, attending a range of events at pubs.

Each one must be reviewed thoroughly, from the atmosphere and activities, to the food and drink, with all feedback provided to management at the Bold Arms.

The role has been created to celebrate the launch of Greene King’s Great British Summer Social, which will see more than 1,500 events take place at Greene King pubs nationwide, from beer yoga and beach parties. The campaign has been designed to bring the community together and celebrate a great British institution - the pub.

Andrew Wilkinson, general manager at the Bold Arms, said: “Events are a great way to bring the community together and there’s nothing better than spending time with family and friends at your local pub, especially over the summer. That’s why we are creating an action-packed summer of events for locals, with help from our first ever official event tester.

“We’re looking for one lucky applicant who will get paid to attend exciting events across the UK to help shape our own entertainment calendar and make Bold Arms’s events the best in the whole country!

“We’d love for someone from Southport to be selected to experience this once in a lifetime opportunity! So, if you fancy attending pub events and

sampling an exciting range of food and drink - all while getting paid to do so, then we want to hear from you!”

Interested applicants must apply by Sunday, June 9 at summer.greeneking.co.uk/sabbartical.

Community association celebrates 20th birthday CROSSENS Community Association is celebrating its 20th anniversary at its summer fayre on Sunday, June 2 between 2pm and 4pm.

Taking place at the Crossens Community Centre on Rufford Road, the event will feature fairground rides, games and refreshments.

The association was formed in 1999 after local lay Methodist preacher Colin Pattenden and Sefton councillor John Dodd called a meeting of local residents and traders to discuss how to recreate the community spirit in the village of Crossens.

Having met at the local St Johns CofE Primary School, the association moved into the old library on Rufford Road after it was refurbished in 2005 becoming Crossens Community Centre.

The association became a registered charity in 2008 and the community centre, which is run by association volunteers, is now being used by many different organisations representing all age groups in the Crossens village community.

Raise a mug to Master Lock & Safe North West Air AUTO LOCKSMITHS Ambulance crews!

Specialists in Vehicle Keys Report by Henry James IN celebration of its 20th birthday this month, the North West Air Ambulance Charity is asking the public to ‘raise a mug’ in honour of its lifesaving work.

Brew with the Crew has been launched to run over the next few months and hopefully will bring people together over tea, coffee and cake in order to help keep its air ambulance crews in the sky.

Back at their Blackpool and Barton base, the charity’s crew estimate they miss out on an approximate 6,782 brews each year due to mission call outs.

Sometimes no sooner than the kettle is on, the crew are called out to reach critically injured patients across all corners of the North West including here in Sefton.

So as the crew save lives while their teas and coffees cool, NWAA urges people to brew up!

By hosting an event, people can thank their local helicopter heroes and raise vital funds over cake and a cuppa.

This could be with a ‘par-tea’ at a local community centre, inviting friends round for a brew or even just by bringing a tray of

Locked out - No Keys?

We can assist

North West Air Ambulance 20th birthday celebrations

cakes in to the office and raising donations.

All money raised will go towards making a life-saving impact in the North West.

Andy Duncan, lead helicopter emergency medical service paramedic at the charity, said: “To be able to celebrate our 20th birthday is testament to the fantastic support of our amazing fundraisers and volunteers. As an organisation which is entirely dependent on charitable contributions, we quite literally couldn’t do it without them.

“It’s a bit of a running joke amongst our crew that as soon as we click the kettle on, that’s when we always seem to get a mission call-out! There’s never any delay though – we’re straight

onto the aircraft, getting to where our patients are as soon as possible.”

Just £9 can fuel one of NWAA’s three helicopters for one minute of a mission. A donation of £25 can buy a warming blanket to maintain the body temperature of a severe trauma patient, and £650 can provide a specialist stretcher to ensure that patients with neck or spinal injuries can be transported to hospital safely.

No matter how big or small your donation is, you will be helping to save a life.

To receive a free fundraising pack complete with games, recipes, bunting and much more, go to nwaa.net/bwtc, call 0800 587 4570 or contact fundraising@nwaa.net.

LETTERS to the Editor

MPs should cast their votes in the best interests of the country In view of some recent criticisms of our local MPs, I wish to point out that new Members of Parliament are instructed that their duty is to be their constituency’s representative, NOT its delegate.

Thus, Messrs Moore and Esterson’s jobs as representatives for Southprt and Sefton Central respectively, is to cast their votes according to their own best judgement of what is in the best interests of the country and that may be completely at odds with what their constituents or their parties want.

Graham Nelson, Formby

BID money should be used to reduce town centre rates With regard to the Champion’s report last week on the empty buildings in Southport.

I was enraged to read a previous article in the Champion, about the BID asking for more money to decorate the town with more flower beds etc, when, ‘on their watch’, they have presided over failing businesses and increasing numbers of empty shops. Their attempts to attract business to the town centre have, in my view, failed.

Perhaps it would be better if the BID money was used by Sefton Council to reduce business rates in the town to attract more traders.

Far better - and more practical than flower beds and Christmas lights.

‘Curb your dog’ in urban environments

Articles and letters covering the question of dog control seem to appear on a regular basis in your excellent paper, which does rather beg the question, ‘is there one, just one, responsible dog owner in all of Southport’?

The answer would appear to be ‘no’ which is a view I would sympathise with, even though I like dogs.

Yes, some of you (an increasing number perhaps) do now scoop, bag and dispose of dogs’ excrement correctly but all of you seem to think it’s OK to allow your dogs

to urinate at will; every corner, every lamppost, tree, shop front, the balcony supports down Lord Street, street furniture and all and every green space - regardless.

Well, it’s not OK .

In the worst case it can be dangerous to youngsters and in every case it leaves behind stains, foul smells and leaves the town (especially during hot weather) looking and smelling like a public toilet.

It’s disgusting and it has to stop.

Happily, the solution is simple: curb your dog!

Just curb your dog and dogs being dogs the rest will follow.

I know this is not an original idea, but it’s a solution that has worked well, for example, in ‘upmarket’ New York and should, with some good will, work equally well in ‘upmarket’ Southport.

If you love your dog and wish to continue owning and exercising your dog in the urban environment, please pay heed and start a campaign to ‘curb your dog.’

‘Disgusted’, Southport

Hospital staff are a credit to the NHS I was recently a patient in Southport and Formby District General Hospital.

May I say a massive ‘thank You’ to Mr Artiouleh and Mr Gerrard for the Emergency Life Saving Surgery they performed on me. Also to ITU, HDU and the ‘tissue team’.

When I was transferred onto Ward 10B I was lovingly cared for by all the wonderful Nurses. Day and night nothing was too much trouble for them. The standard of care was superb as were the hygiene levels.

You are all a credit to our hospital.

I am now on the road to recovery and cared for by Churchtown district nurses.

Sad to see stores in Lord Street closing down It is sad to see Lord Street like it now is and the speed at which shop closures are occurring.

When Argos moved to Kew I was concerned that others may move out of town too, assuming it is cheaper rent there.

Why is rent so expensive in town now?

A lot of us don’t have our own transport and would rather go to town than out of it - in a car park surrounded by stores.

I know the rise in online shopping has been given as another reason for the demise of the high street but Marks and Spencers and Roman are often busy. As are Sports Direct and Flannels, to name but a couple of examples.

Maybe it would help if stores asked their customers what they would like, then they may get more of them.

Not surprised by FRAG contradictions in its Neighbourhood Plan Re: The Champion’s front page story in the Formby edition ‘Plan under fire from MP’.

‘It comes as no surprise to me that the ‘Neighbourhood Plan’ commissioned by the FRAGcontrolled parish councils of Formby and Little Altcar, contradicts their own alleged agenda.

After all this is the same bunch of headless chickens that passed plans for a market in the village which allows the majority of stall holders to sell what is already available to buy in the village shops.

Quite laughable when you consider that the parish councils argued that it was going to help the village.

A so-called people’s vote could never Pavement must reflect the true wishes of the people parkers be tackled

I really must object to the misguided opinion of John Coles concerning Brexit (Southport Champion May 16).

The 2016 referendum took place for the people to decide whether to leave Europe and included no provision for politicians to change the result if it did not conform to what they were prepared to accept.

The result confirmed the wish of the people to leave whatever the unspecified and unprecedented details may be, not for politicians to argue about the ‘wrong’ result when the Tories and Labour had both stated in their 2017 election manifestos that they supported Brexit.

Any referendum taking place now could never reflect the true wishes of the people concerning Europe as it would reflect to a significant

extent their wishes to stop all the arguing so they could carry on with their lives as before.

All politicians are fully aware of this fact as it is not what politicians tell you that matters, it is what they don’t tell you that is most important to them - facts about which many people remain fully unaware.

Therefore, those who wish to remain now want a second referendum to ‘confirm’ the earlier result, knowing very well that this would not happen.

Democracy

Mr Coles may, I imagine, be aware of the second referendum held by Labour dominated Sefton Council a few years ago to decide the future of council housing in this borough,

which reversed the result of the earlier referendum, when previously undeclared facts were made known.

Sefton had no intention that the housing service should remain inhouse and made sure of it by using genuinely undemocratic dirty tricks, in my opinion.

The precise repetition of any referendum can never be true democracy unless it takes place a long time after the previous one.

I suspect that the independent Electoral Commission would therefore allow one to take place right now only if it asked the simple question as to whether you support Brexit on the current deal or on no deal at all.

John Lee, Southport

across the whole borough

Can someone from Sefton Parking Services explain why the offence of parking partly or fully on a pavement, (and across single and double yellow lines) is only enforced around Pontins in Ainsdale, and totally ignored across the rest of the borough?

Could it be due to the fact that most of the people they are going to ticket are from outside of Sefton, or away from their vehicles and not likely to kick up a fuss with the wardens, who will be gone by the time the drivers get back?

Specialist group set up to combat causes of violence Report by Tom Martin NEW ‘multi-agency group’ will be created made up of specialists in police, health and local government who will work to tackle the causes of serious violent crime.

Merseyside’s Police Commissioner, Jane Kennedy, wants to set up the Violence Reduction Partnership, with the aim of preventing and reducing the incidences of violence, as well as identifying the underlying reasons for the recent increase in serious crime on Merseyside.

The announcement comes in response to the government’s announcement that they would be allocating £100million to tackle the surge in serious violence across the country.

Merseyside Police are still waiting to hear if their proposal to establish the policing aspect of a Violence Reduction unit will be supported with funding from this Serious Violence fund.

The Police Commissioner said: “The causes of serious violence are extremely complex and deepseated. It is not possible to simply ‘police’ our way out of violent crime.

“We need to look beyond, at societal problems including poverty, mental ill-health, education, issues of addiction and lack of opportunity.

“Central Government are also pushing for a public-health focussed response to addressing this issue and as region we need to respond to this challenge.

“By developing this partnership, I want all the agencies who have a role to play in policing and community safety to step up and play their part in addressing the contagion of serious violence.

“Between all the partners we have a wealth of information and data on many of these factors, but at the moment we are not using it as wisely as we

“By bringing together specialists from across the sectors to set up this Violence Reduction Partnership, my aim is to pool our combined intelligence and resources so that we can diagnose the problem, better understand it and then develop and deliver effective plans to address the areas of most need.

Cricketer’s book tells of life as an outspoken athlete in Zimbabwe FORMBY cricketer Tatenda Taibu, who was brought up in Zimbabwe, but now lives in Sefton, has brought out an autobiography about his eventful life, which tells of what it was like to be an outspoken athlete in the country during the regime of Robert Mugabe.

Taibu, who played for Hightown St Mary’s and now for Formby in the Liverpool Competition, has called his book Keeper of Faith: Cricket, Conflict and God in Zimbabwe’s Age of Extremes.

It tells about his upbringing in a poor township near Harare to becoming captain of his national team in 2004 at the age of just 20, the first black skipper of the team.

Just over a year later he was exiled in Bangladesh, on the run from a cricket board that tried to threaten him into silence.

He was forced to quit the sport at the age of 29 to devote more time to his Christian faith before later moving to the UK Much of Taibu’s career took place against a backdrop of constant mismanagement, poor administration and regular political interference, and he provides first-hand accounts of the damaging effect this had on Zimbabwe cricket, from Andy Flower and Henry Olonga’s ‘death of democracy ’ protest at the 2003 World Cup to his own stand in 2005, which compromised the safety of him and his young family.

The fame that the sport brought him also caused him to question his purpose in life and Taibu reflects on the rediscovery of his faith, which helped him to put cricket – and his life – into a better perspective.

He announced his retirement for good in 2012, as his rediscovery of faith began to demand more of his time, while making him view the sport in a different light.

He returned to help Zimbabwe as selector, scout

and academy director in 2016, but once again mismanagement and interference from above led to him and many others’ departure a year later, leaving Zimbabwe.

One reviewer says Taibu’s book “lifts the lid on the challenges of representing Zimbabwe in the era of Robert Mugabe, and details how constant controversy and conflict ultimately restrict meaningful progress.”

Keeper of Faith is published by deCoubertin books priced £12.99.

School chums spend savings on raffle for hospital unit TWO friends who spent their own savings to host a raffle have raised £300 for the stroke unit at Southport Hospital.

Miya Maclean and Nova Brookfield, who are both 15 years old, and pupils at Christ the King Catholic High School in Southport, came up with the idea after hearing Miya’s mum, Abbey, talk about her work there. The pair spent £160 on Apple AirPods, which they raffled to raise £230 for the ward’s family room, while their school added a further £70 donation.

Abbey, who has been working as a health care assistant on the ward for the last two years, said: “I am incredibly proud of both of them. They wanted to do something for charity, and off they went and did it, it was totally their own idea. They were really well supported by their school who helped with publicity and money handling, so great work all round.”

Juliette Cosgrove, director of nursing, midwifery and therapies at Southport and Ormskirk NHS Trust added: “What a fantastic effort from these girls!

“Generous not only with their

own savings, but also with time and energy. We are delighted to receive this money and hope that everyone is very proud of these two, they are an absolute credit to their families and school.”

The girls’ head teacher, James Lancaster said everyone at the school is ‘very proud of the commitment and passion that Miya and Nova have shown for this worthwhile cause’.

“The school is delighted to support this by contributing a further £70 from our charity funds.”

Celebration day at Eco Centre GREEN Sefton is to host a celebration day at Southport Eco Centre this Friday (May 31).

As part of the Liverpool City Region 2019 Year of the Environment, the free event will be held from 10am to 4pm at the centre on the Esplanade and aims to celebrate what the borough’s greenspaces and coastline have to offer.

Working with the team at the Eco Centre, it will feature exhibits and displays from across the region, looking at green issues including transport and energy.

Guided walks will explore the Queens Jubilee Nature Trail to enjoy the flora and fauna of the Sefton coastline, while there will also be the opportunity to find out more about neighbouring parks, including King’s Gardens and the border at Rotten Row.

Teachers not paid due to tech hitch THOUSANDS of teachers were left without their wages last week after Sefton Council suffered a technical issue with their payment system.

Every teacher on their payroll system was affected on Thursday, May 23, meaning they didn't get their monthly payment and had to wait until the following day (Friday 24) for it to be transferred into their bank accounts.

A spokesperson for Sefton Council said on Thursday: “We apologise for any inconvenience this may have caused.”

Tory group leader claims council plan to improve youth crime is ‘hollow ’ Report by Danielle Thompson

THE Tory group leader on Sefton Council has described the local authority’s plan to improve its youth crime service as ‘hollow’.

Councillor Tony Brough was commenting on reports that the team responsible for tackling youth crime in the borough “needs to improve” after a recent assessment.

Earlier this month, the Champion reported how Sefton Youth Offending Team (YOT) had been given a ‘Requires Improvement’ rating.

HM Inspectorate of Probation conducted a routine inspection of Sefton Youth Offending Team in February and found it was delivering an ‘inconsistent service’ and rated it its second-lowest grade.

Inspectors found staff and senior managers were committed to delivering highquality services, but more robust systems

Cllr Tony Brough, leader of the Conservative Group on Sefton Council

and processes are needed to support this ambition.

Cllr Tony Brough, leader of the Conservative Group on Sefton Council said: “This multi-agency team provides a vital service by managing young offenders to try to prevent re-offending and reduce the impact this can have on the wider Sefton community. It is reassuring that the

Inspection Report rates the staff within the team as ‘Good’ as this reflects their commitment in this challenging service.

“Yet the report rated Governance and Leadership as ‘Requires Improvement’ and Planning as ‘Inadequate’. The claims of having an improvement plan already in place may prove to be hollow. The previous report on the Youth Offending Team had similar ratings. The response then was that there was ‘a robust improvement plan’ in place and that the team would get the focus it needed.

“Yet it is now revealed that since that last report, key management posts in the team have been left vacant so it is now easy to understand how Governance and Leadership was rated as ‘Requires Improvement’.

“It is worth noting that councils can manage this challenging area successfully.

The last report on Knowsley’s YOT rated it across all areas as needing ‘Minimal Improvement’.

“We look forward to Sefton Council improving this service to the benefit of all in our community.”

Volunteers set to be recognised for their hard work A SPECIAL event will be held in Southport to mark national Volunteers’ Week celebrations.

Volunteer’s Week, which takes place in the first week of June each year, pays tribute to the hard work of locals who

give up their time for the community.

On Wednesday, June 5, Volunteer Centre Sefton, which is part of Sefton CVS, will be hosting a volunteer drop-in event at Southport Library in the Atkin-

son Arts Centre on Lord Street, from 10am until 4pm.

Volunteer Centre staff will be on hand to talk to residents about the benefits of volunteering, how to get involved and what roles are available locally.

Members of the public can come along and speak to representatives from a range of local good causes, who will be talking about the exciting volunteer roles they have to offer.

GP practices to get involved in popular ‘parkrun’ events GP practices across England will be celebrating the first anniversary of the ‘parkrun’ practice initiative this Saturday (June 1).

‘Parkrun events are volunteer-led 5k runs that take place each Saturday morning across the UK and are open to walkers, runners and volunteers of all ages and abilities.

More than 900 general practices have linked up with their local events to promote the health and wellbeing of patients and staff – with about 150,000 people taking part every weekend.

To celebrate the anniversary of the initiative, national GP parkrun Pledge Day will be held this weekend to encourage GPs and general

practice staff across the UK to pledge, in advance, to join thousands of walkers, runners and volunteers at parkrun events. It aims to build on the success of last year’s celebration across hundreds of parkruns to mark the NHS’s 70th birthday when more than 146,000 people took part.

NHS England’s National Director of Strategy and Innovation Ian Dodge said: “What a start! If parkrun and the RCGP can keep up this momentum, the majority of GP practices in England will be involved within another four years. Thousands more people would benefit from the green spaces, the fresh air, the exercise, and above all the companionship and sense of community.”

ENTERTAINMENT

Bar production will be a moving drama Preview by Ron Ellis Visiting Mr Green SDC Bar Production JOHN Sharp plays the Warren Mitchell role of Mr. Green, an 86-year-old New York widower living alone after the death of the wife of 59 years. Into his life comes a young executive, Ross (played by Kyle Harrison–Pope), who has been ordered by a court to pay him weekly visits having nearly run him down.

Both men are Jewish and both are solitary people, Ross because he feels guilty about being gay, but soon a bond grows between them as they share secrets of their lives.

A compelling drama with lots of humour as well as some very moving moments.

Visiting Mr Green ran for a year in New York before going on to play 37 countries in 22 languages with more than 300 separate

Rehearsals for Visiting Mr Green

productions over the past decade.

Directed by Michele Martin, the play runs in the Bar from Tuesday, June 4 to Saturday, June 8 at 7.30pm.

Following five years in the West End, sell-out runs worldwide and smash hit tours in 2014, 2015 and 2016 (packed with mischief, bad behaviour and political incorrectness!) Tony Award-win-

ning Musical, created by Jeff Marx and Robert Lopez, co-creator of Book of Mormon and writer of the songs for Disney’s Frozen, is a tale of the loveable characters on a downtown New York street trying to make sense of life’s burning issues.

Meet Princeton, a bright-eyed graduate who comes to New York City with big dreams and a tiny bank account.

Brian the out-of-work comedian

and his therapist fiancée Christmas Eve; Nicky the good-hearted slacker and his closet gay Republican roommate Rod, an Internet ‘sexpert’ called Trekkie Monster, Lucy the Sl*t (the name says it all!) and a very cute kindergarten teacher named Kate Monster.

Featuring funny songs including The Internet is for Porn and Everyone’s A Little Bit Racist, Avenue Q is a musical with a warm (and very fuzzy) heart.

The cast of Fiddler On The Roof

By Ellen Campbell Fiddler On The Roof BOS Musical Theatre Company Little Theatre, Southport THIS is a musical based on the refugee crisis in Russia in 1905 when Jewish people were displaced by the Tsar and moved off their own land.

The central figure in the drama is the long-suffering Tevye, a milkman, who has lived in the same village all his life and desperately wants to continue with the old traditions but society is changing.

The days of the Matchmaker are over. Girls want to find their own husbands. A young generation is taking over.

A bare and dark stage emphasized the troubles lying ahead as the villagers congregated to discuss the problems. The power of

the show was in the story-telling, Tevye addressing the audience with his philosophical homilies as if talking to God, as he tries to make sense that the world he knows is slowly disappearing.

Alan Casserley made an excellent Tevye, showing the humour behind his blustery approach. A predominance of male voices was a particularly welcome feature of this musical and Tevye’s rich vocals were perfectly suited to songs like If I Were a Rich Man, and Tradition while his duet with wife Golde (Heather Lewis), Do You Love Me?, was particularly touching.

Yente, the Matchmaker (Lisa Tatlar), has arranged for Tenye’s eldest daughter, Tzeitel (Lucie Colman) to marry Lazar Wolk (Alastair Johnson), an elderly butcher, but Tzeitel refuses. She loves poor tailor, Motel (Craig Billington). Tevye gives in to his daughter’s wishes and also allows his second daughter,

Hodel (Samantha Keen) to marry her student boyfriend, Perchik (Carl Sedman).

Permitting his third daughter, Chava (Abbie Coy), to marry a Russian soldier, Fyedka (Tom Hallsworth), is one step too much for him but they marry anyway and he eventually gives his blessing and so it is a happy outcome for all three couples.

Tevye realises his time in Russia is over and sets off with his wife and two youngest daughters to find a new life in America.

Liz Clarke was artistic director of an excellent production with Steve Chesters the choreographer while the stirring musical accompaniment was provided by a 10-piece orchestra conducted by David Wall.

The society’s next production is The Sound of Music, coming to the Little Theatre on October 512.

Star Rating. 8 out of 10. A stirring production.

IT’S NOT often that you can say a Fiat Stilo is as good at something as a Porsche 911 is – but then it’s not every day that parts of the old Aintree race circuit are opened up for go-faster fun.

No, not that Aintree circuit – if you’ve ended up here by mistake because you’re actually looking for The Champion sports pages then I’m afraid to say that there are no jockeys, highly decorated ladies’ hats or whinnying thoroughbreds here. Nope, this particular course is the one famed for racing of the motor variety, including the very first British Grand Prix won

by Sir Stirling Moss. He tackled it in a single-seater Mercedes W196 – but if you wanted to follow in his tyre tracks last weekend then all you needed was a racing helmet and a secondhand hatchback.

Liverpool Motor Club holds a couple of track days a year on the surviving bits of the track – and for a fiver to spectate I reckon it’s a bargain-priced way of spending a couple of hours listening to screeching tyres and watching all manner of motors scrabbling for the best lines through the sweeping right-handers. I popped along last Saturday during the Bank Holiday weekend and the thing that surprised me was the mind-boggling variety of what was out on track.

Sure, you’d expect Elises, 911s and

Honda Type-Rs on a track day, but I wasn’t expecting the next car to barrel into the first corner to be an 05registered Fiat Stilo. Or a TVR Tuscan virtually unchanged from when it took part in the bonkers Tuscan Challenge race series 20 years ago. Or an Opel Manta, for that matter.

It’s good, old-fashioned car-related fun that doesn’t get hung up on who’s got the priciest entry or the quickest lap time – there was a chap with a Lister ‘Knobbly ’ continuation racer, for instance, but the chaps taking part in Ford Fiestas had equally big grins on their faces after venturing back into the paddock.

More importantly, it keeps part of the North West’s motoring heritage alive – yes, I know that the full Aintree circuit that Sir Stirling would’ve diced with Fangio on closed in the 1960s, but by having Porsches and Lotuses screeching around the club circuit it keeps the idea that Aintree isn’t just about horse racing in the wider public imagination.

And any element of keeping history that involves hoofing about in a Fiat Stilo has got to be worth it for the amusement factor alone. Count me in.

THE top of the Premier Division in the Liverpool & District Cricket Competition has tightened up with new leaders Bootle holding a narrow two point lead over Formby, writes Glenn Wallworth.

Bootle moved top of the table after recording an eight wicket home against Colwyn Bay. The visitors chose to bat and collapsed from 60-0 to 144 all out, with Ryan Westwell 34 and Zack Gidlow 29 top scoring, whilst Kieron New dominated with ball by taking 6-37.

In reply, Mike Farrell hit an unbeaten 79* and Will Hale made 38 as Bootle strolled to victory on 148-2.

Formby slipped off top spot after almost pulling off a remarkable run chase at home against Lytham.

An unbeaten century from Lancashire’s Steven Croft (118* 6x4 & 7x6) and 41 from Anthony Mulligan meant Lytham were able to declare on 233-6, with Sabbir Patel taking 4-119.

In reply, Sam Oldham 47 and Ollie Sutton 43 kept Formby in the chase and Dave Atkinson 65* and his skipper Elliot Ketteringham 40 almost got them over the line.

But Ketteringham’s dismissal to the penultimate ball of the day ended a thrilling contest with Jackson Darkes-Sutcliffe 1* unable to hit his only delivery out of the ground for victory.

Lancashire’s Steve Croft scored a century for Lytham against Formby.

Credit to former Ormskirk spinner Alex Mason 3-20 who held his nerve in the final over to deny the hosts the eight runs they needed to win.

Ormskirk suffered an eight wicket home defeat to Northern.

After choosing to bat the hosts were dismissed for 132, with only Alex Rankin 37 and Ryan Maddock 33* offering much with the willow, as the rest struggled against the bowling of Liam Grey 3-20, Tom Sephton 3-23 and Danny Houghton 3-54.

In reply, Grey cracked an unbeaten 71*

and Taylor Cornall 35 as Northern eased to victory on 134-2.

Southport & Birkdale suffered a 126 run defeat at Rainhill.

The hosts were asked to bat and thanks to Northamptonshire’s Luke Procter with an unbeaten century (100*inc 6x4 & 4x6) and Ross Higham with 53 were able to declare their innings on 240-7.

In reply, Will Affleck 26 top scored for S&B who were bowled out for 114, with Procter 4-39, Anuj Dal 3-23 and Qaiser Ashraf 3-44 doing all the damage with the ball.

Ainsdale maintain good start with 174-run win over Old Xaverians IN the First Division, Ainsdale maintained their fine start to the season with a 174 run home win against Old Xaverians.

After electing to bat Ainsdale recovered from early loss of both openers to post 241-5 declared up on the board, thanks to 73 from Connor Windell, an unbeaten 59* from Dylan Mullen, 49 from Lee Bolton and 42 from Mark Lucas, whilst Mark Newman took 386 with the ball In reply, the visitors slipped from 20-0 to 67 all out as Martyn Farrell 5-30 and recent signing Jan Gadzina 4-25 bowled the hosts to

a comprehensive victory.

Fleetwood Hesketh remain rooted to the foot of the table after suffering a 137 run defeat at home to Wigan.

The visitors were put in to bat and duly declared their innings after 44 overs without losing a single wicket on 239-0, thanks to an unbeaten century from Charles Taylor 131* and an unbeaten 90* from fellow opener John Richardson.

In reply, Alex Halsall and Irshad Desai both top scored with 19 as Hesketh were dismissed for 102, with spinner Avinash Yadav taking 6-22.

In the Second Division,

Maghull sit one point off second place after a 33 run win at Spring View.

Batting first, Maghull had slipped to 53-7 before a mini recovery led by Anthony Molloy 40, Paul McKenna 28 and Joe Bennett 25 enabled them post 140 up on the board, with Kevin Crowie 446 and Marc Birch 3-13 taking the majority of the wickets to fall.

In reply, 4-31 from Cam Lawrenson helped bowl out the hosts for just 107 to seal victory for Paul Walters’ side.

Southport Trinity made in two wins in two with a 47 run win at Hightown St

Mary’s. Trinity were put in to bat and declared after 52 overs on 232-4, thanks in no small part to skipper Craig Prince 80, Bobby Eyes 35* and Tony Campbell 33, whilst Jim Kelly took 3-89 with the ball.

In reply, Jayden Schadendorf top scored with 88 and Matt Laybourne hit 26 as Hightown were bowled out for 185, with the fit again Michael Roberti claiming 5-55 after his recent golfing injury and spinner Akshay Sreenivasan taking 3-44.
