The car was laterfound abandoned.During the attack, which happened onQueen’s Drive, the doctor was cut in the facebut escaped serious injury after his thick coatstopped any knife puncture wounds.He told the Champion: “I was going on ahome visit to see a patient who was dying and Iwas leaving the surgery four guys held a knifeto my throat.“Then five of them approached me and putthe knife on my face and said hand me yourRolex watch, car keys and your wallet.“As I pushed them away they stabbed meHooded men stabbed medicduring cowardly assault, thenran over him as he tried to stopgang stealing his Audi TT carDr Srinivas Rao Dharmana being assaultedby five men at his Queen’s Drive surgerytowards my abdomen but luckily I had a bigcoat on and it protected me.“They then stabbed me on the face andstarted punching me, I tried to punch themback but they stamped on my right knee.“Two of them tried to grab my watch and mykeys, they ran towards my car but I followedthem with my camera phone on but it was toodark.“They then ran me over and I was thrownover the bonnet.”Dr Dharmana still managed to attend hissurgery the next day to see his scheduledpatients. He said: “It’s just one of those thingsthat happens and I don’t want to give amessage that I’m scared.“I didn’t want to let them win by making themthink I was scared or they had got to me, so Iwent to hospital that night and got my injurieschecked out before returning to work the nextday to see my patients.“The watch broke when they took it off mywrist so they haven’t got away with much.“Obviously we will be more cautious nowwhen we lock up and we will have extrasecurity measures in place.”Attack victim Doctor Dharmama shows hisfacial scar.Code1056227We accept all major credit/debit cardsTel: 0151 928 2722URBAN CHICKEN& PIZZALUNCHTIME OFFERS 12pm-4pm1 Piece of Chicken4 Chicken Nuggets2 Chicken Strips7" Pizza with 1 topping3 Spicy WingsChicken Classic BurgerOnly£1.99eachIncluding fries & drinkBuy 1 Get 1 FREE✁Pizzas on Wednesdays!12" or 14" Pizza(COLLECTION ONLY, WITH THIS VOUCHER)Not in conjunction with any other offer.

He also demandedher necklace and ring, even thoughshe was not wearing them, said EricLamb, prosecuting.The robber, 21–year–old LiamO’Hare, fled with the watch in awaiting white van driven by hisaccomplice Zack Baptiste. Theyswitched vehicles shortly afterwardsfor a blue Ford Fiesta anddisappeared.However, their movements had beencaptured on CCTV and the van,containing the machete, wasrecovered and the two men werequickly arrested.Baptiste, also 21, of Webster Drive,Kirkby, and O’Hare, of TownsendAvenue, Norris Green, both pleadedguilty to robbery and were each jailedfor three years four months. At thetime of the offence Baptiste had aLiam O’Haresuspended sentence hanging over himand this was activated to runconcurrently.Sentencing them Judge StephenClarke, pointed out that they both hadcriminal records but this offence was“a step up to serious offending.”He said the background to theoffence on September 5 last year wasthat O’Hare had got into considerabledebt and had been told to repay it byZack Baptistecarrying out the robbery and handingover the watch.Baptiste was brought into it andknew what was going to happen butdid not go into the Hawthorne Roadshop and waited outside.Judge Clarke said that the offencehad been traumatic for Mrs Mitchell,who had to seek medical help and feltit had “ruined her life.”Her young daughter was alsoaffected by the incident.Merseyrailservicesdisruptedby bridgecollisionMERSEYRAILservices weredisrupted on theSouthport to HuntsCross line after avehicle smashed intoa railway bridge inSeaforth at about10.37am onMonday, January28.Trains weresuspended betweenBootle New Strandand Hall Road afterthe bridge crash anddelays then followeduntil the afternoon.A Merseyrailspokesperson said:“Services on theSouthport andHunts Cross lineresumed followingan earlier roadvehicle striking abridge at Seaforth.”Network Rail thentweeted: “We’re onsite and haveassessed the bridge.Lines havere–opened.”A Network Railspokesperson said:“At 10.37am a roadvehicle struck theSeaforth bridge sowe closed the lineuntil an engineerwas available toinspect the damage.Three trains wereaffected but thetrack was declaredsafe and re–openedafter 20 minutes.”LIncludes: 1700x700 Acrylic bath & leg set (5mm) 25 yearguarantee, Chrome pop up waste, Front & end panel (luxury),Bath filler tap, Basin tap mono mixer with sprung waste, Toiletand seat, Basin and full pedestal, Bath screen chrome/glass (6mmtoughened safety glass), Trizon thermostatic bar & valve kit, NewUPVC ceiling in white gloss, Chrome IP65 rated downlights, Fullytiled walls and floors (choice of designs), 1100x500 Chromecurved heated towel rail complete with valves, MirrorAS PER SHOWROOM DISPLAYView your bathroom design on our state of theart computer aided planning systemCall us for a FREE home survey without obligationT: 0151 284 65852 Oxford Road, Waterloo L22 8QEwww.splashbathroomsandtiles.co.uk •Email:salessplashbathrooms@hotmail.co.ukOPENING TIMES:Mon-Tue 9.30am - 5.30pm • Wed 9.30am - 12.30pm.Thur 9.30am - 7pm • Fri 9.30am - 5.30pm • Sat 9am - 3pm.*Conditions may apply to free delivery1116082Beat TheCREDIT CRUNCHVan Hire from* PRICES BASED ON A 7 DAY RENTAL PERIOD0151 284 11395% OFF TOKENFIND US AT THE NEW STRAND, BOOTLE, L20 1AA✃With Our Superb Dealsper dayCar Hire✔✔✔Small CarsMedium CarsLarge Cars11153051116058

The Champion • Wednesday 30 January 2013Beware threatof ‘silent killer’CVisit us @ www.ChampNews.com • 11UNDER NEW MANAGEMENTLitherland’s newest friendly family pubby Stephanie O’ConnorA NEW project has been launched to highlightthe threat of Carbon Monoxide to homes acrossthe borough.The new awareness campaign by the Gas SafeRegister sees six appliances from MerseysideFire and Rescue carrying messages raisingawareness of the risks of Carbon Monoxide(CO) poisoning and encouraging the public tohave their gas appliances safety checkedannually.Carbon Monoxide is known as the ‘silentkiller.’ You can’t see it, taste it or smell it and itcan kill quickly with no warning. Every year theSilent Killer attacks over 4,000 people in theUK.All frontline fire engines in Merseyside arealready equipped with ToxiRAE monitors,which are worn by firefighters and can detectdangerous levels of Carbon Monoxide atlocations visited by them either responding toincidents or while carrying out Home FireSafety Checks.Merseyside Fire & Rescue Service is the onlyFire and Rescue Service in the UK to carry theGas Safe awareness campaign imagery. Deputychief fire officer Phil Garrigan said: “As a fireand rescue service we fully support thiscampaign.“This move follows research work weundertook along with Liverpool John MooresUniversity and West Midlands Fire Servicewhere firefighters took readings of CarbonMonoxide (CO) in homes across Merseyside aspart of our Home Fire Safety Checks.“The research found high levels of CO goesunnoticed in many homes across Merseysideon a daily basis, due to a low level of CO alarmsGary Oakford and Sarah Hill from Gas SafeRegister at the launch of the awarenessprojectin properties. Merseyside Fire & Rescue Serviceis committed to supporting safer, strongercommunities across Merseyside. The findingsof the study we took part in with LiverpoolJohn Moores University emphasised theimportance of keeping you and your familysafe by using a Carbon Monoxide alarm andmaking sure a Gas Safe registered engineerinspects and services your boiler.“The previous study work and these newadverts will all contribute towards helping toprotect the most vulnerable people in oursociety in Merseyside.”The adverts see the hard–hitting words“4,000 victims.

Over the last few weeks therehave been two outbreaks of measles in Sefton, one ina nursery and one in a high school. Measles is highlycontagious and can spread rapidly among children. Itcauses an unpleasant illness, which can cause manyside effects and complications and your child mayneed to be admitted to hospital.Dr Janet Atherton, Sefton’sDirector of Public Health(left), said: “Many schoolaged children have notreceived both doses of MMRvaccine and are at risk frommeasles. Parents may notbe aware that their childrenare not fully protected.“For this reason we will beoffering children who havemissed their vaccination an opportunity to have thefull course of MMR. Parents of primary school agedchildren will be offered the vaccination at their GPpractice. Secondary school aged children will beoffered the vaccine by a school nurse at school overthe next few months.”The MMR vaccine is safe and effective. It protectschildren against mumps and rubella (Germanmeasles) as well as protecting against measles.Dympna Edwards a Consultant in Public Health andmother of two children said: “When I heard aboutmeasles affecting children locally I checked with myGP practice to make sure that my children were up todate with all their vaccines. I know that we had missedsome appointments a few years ago and it is easy tothink that everything is ok when something has beenmissed. I wouldn’t want to take the risk- not when Iknow about how poorly it has made some children”If you are unsure whether your child is fully protectedagainst measles contact your GP. Watch out for theletter from your school or GP in the next few weeks.For more information on MMR visit www.nhs.uk/conditions/mmr/Pages/Introduction if you areconcerned you or your child may have measlesphone NHS Direct on 0845 4647.1116085Walk in and receivetreatment 365 daysof the year here…GPGP Out-of-hoursNHS Walk-inServicesNo need for an appointment t or to be registered with a local GPDoctor and nurse led centres, es, as well as specific centres for childrenPharmacistNHS Direct1116060www.nhs.uk

Fluffy.I’m well aware thatbragging is never a goodthing to do, but I know I tendto bang on a bit about howgenerally healthy I am.I should just count myselflucky and keep quiet.Because for the last week Ihave been not really up tosnuffatall.I’ve had shivery bits, amucus cough, my tum hasbeen far from at ‘grade A’operation and my head hurtswhen I cough.Add to this that my legs haveached and you can see what awreck I have become. Andapart from anything else,what all this has added up tois that Tina has had tomanage with but one walk aday, the evening one havinggone by the board in thecause of staying put andkeeping warm.Anyway, a couple of daysago I felt sufficiently better toventure forth to Maghullstation and a trip by train toOrmskirk.Now this is an excursionTina enjoys for some reason,and from my somewhatfragile point of view is goodin that it includes three fairlyshort walks with a sit in thewarm on the train inbetween. Now obviously theLaw of Sod is about to takeover here – and indeed it did.Train the Ormskirk, fine,warm and on time.Mile and a half walk aroundnorth east Ormskirk neatlyaccomplished in the required30 minutes.Train for Liverpool arrivedon time, dog and I installedwith a bag of peppermints tocheer us up (well meanyhow), driver in cab andautomated message abouthow welcome we were to thisMerseyrail service etc etc.successfully delivered.Then the first intimationthat all was perhaps not well.Like nothing furtheroccurred. No closing of doorbeeps. Nothing.And the sight of the guardrunning along the platformand having a ‘heartfelt’ withthe driver did nothing toinstil confidence.Mind you, the inevitableannouncement when it camewas at least different.A small landslip near TownGreen station was causingdisruption.There was talk ofreplacement buses –perhaps.Now had I been alone therewould have been no realproblem. I’d simply havedecamped, walked thecouple of hundred yards tothe bus station and found myown alternative route home.But Tina presented aproblem. She’s four and ahalf now, but the only time inher life that she has everventured on a bus (she wasless than two then) she madesuch a to–do that I got off inembarrassment half wayhome and walked the rest ofthe way.The problem with a dog insuch a situation of course isthat unlike a small child thereis simply no way ofexplaining what is going onto her.Or, indeed, in this case whyshe should be forced toabandon her familiar train inthe first place.There seemed no real optionthough. No way of knowingwhen or if the train would begoing. The alternative of arail replacement bus (whichwould probably be full). Ortry the bus station.So I did. And apart from avery few and muffled squeaksof protest from Tina, we bothbehaved amazingly well andwere delivered home safely.The only casualty of coursewas the final walk home fromthe station. And tryexplaining that to your dog.1115976

A Champion Newspapers DirectoryThe Champion • Wednesday 30 January 2013ENTERTAINMENTSDC’s Good Things play‘meandered on aimlessly’Good ThingsSouthport Dramatic ClubSouthport Little TheatreReview by Ron EllisTHE action takes place in a typicalcharity shop run by the bolshieMarjorie (Dyan Ensenat) with theassistance of Fraser (Giles Davidson)and Susan (Trudi Hirsch). So typicaland well–stocked in fact that I wouldhave liked to have bought a couple ofthe items displayed.Susan’s husband, Tony (RobertJones) has left her for a youngerwoman and, after giving up oncounselling and speed dating (whereshe attracted a stalker), she decides toturn to internet dating to findromance. The first ten minutes of theplay is taken up by a virtualmonologue as she ponders aloud to abored looking Fraser how she willdescribe herself to prospectiveadmirers.Fraser prefers counselling. It helpedhim when his dear mother died.Indeed, he recommends it to David(Barry Johnson), who comes into theshop to donate a jumble of effectsbelonging to his recently deceasedwife. What a sad lot they are. Fraserhas lost his mother, Barry has lost hiswife, Susan has lost her husband andher Dad (Ed Robinson) has lost hismarbles, an affliction which seems tohave affected Ed’s other role as‘scruffy old man’.The one bright spark in the play isprovided by Helen Pritchard whogives a spirited performance asNatalie, who comes into the shopladen with designer goods and turnsout to be Tony’s mistress, thoughwhat she ever sees in the bovine Tonyis a total mystery.The play becomes a series of trivialintrospections and inconsequentialchit–chat, interrupted by irrelevantevents like the never–seen stalkerbeing mown down by a bus outsidethe shop which adds nothing to theplot.We are aware that Fraser and Davidboth fancy Susan but none of theiremotions are examined in depth andthe play meanders on aimlessly withno obvious goal in sight.Ann Richards is seen fleetingly as awell–dressed lady; Simon Hawkinsdoubles as a policeman and a floristwhilst Sabrina Regazzoni is bothCMBHelena (David’s daughter–in–law)and a WPC.Pat Simpkin has a nice cameo,wandering in and out of the shop asScotch Doris, a dotty bag lady, whodisappears into the changing roomtrying unsuccessfully to make asuccession of outlandish clothescircumnavigate her swelling waist. Asher name implies, she boasts a curiousScottish accent, something which isalso attempted by Marjorie andFraser. Luckily, the lady sitting in theseat adjoining mine was fromMotherwell so she was able totranslate for me.The Celtic influence is explained bythe playwright being Liz Lochhead,who is the national poet of Scotlandand regarded by many as a dramatistof some renown.Obviously they never saw this play.Watching it was like standingimpatiently at the supermarketcheckout listening to the person infront blethering to the till girl,oblivious of the queue behind.Interesting for a few minutes but nomore.Star Rating: 6 out of 10.

The water there has got very deep,and there are still worries with the lowtemperatures that it could freeze over.“Interestingly, the problem with the standingwater only seems to have started after all theconstruction work at the nearby Ashworthprison site was carried out.“Although there has been work on the roaditself and on a nearby layby which could alsohave something to do with it.“I have contacted the council because this isan ongoing problem for people coming intoMaghull.”Motorist Simon Davidson, who uses SchoolLane, said that he is worried it could pose asafety risk for drivers using it.He said: “I’ve driven through it on a fewoccasions now and every time I go through it,particularly with the weather we’ve beenhaving lately, it seems to be deteriorating.“Also you can’t go around – it goes rightacross the road, so you’ve no choice but toplough through it.“Frankly, I’m amazed the problem’s persistedfor as long as it has and that more hasn’t beendone to sort it out.”Sefton Council said the flooding problem wascaused by the very heavy rainfall, and thatwhile it had put up signs to warn motorists ofthe standing water, it is looking into removingit.A spokesman for the local authority said:“Flooding in this area has been an ongoingproblem and is caused by backed up drainsafter very heavy rainfall which are running atfull capacity rather than being blocked.“Flood warning signs have been put upwarning motorists of the problem and ourcontractors will continue to monitor the areaduring heavy rainfall and will look at thepracticalities of removing any excess floodwater if and when necessary.”local.news@champnews.comTraffic negotiates a flooded section of School Lane, Maghull.25,000 CUSTOMERS CAN'T BE WRONG...UPVC Windows • Doors • Bi -Folds • ConservatoriesMAGHULL DOUBLE GLAZING • FENSA Registered InstallerFREE Survey & Estimate • Local Company established 35 YEARSFREE 10-Year Insurance Guarantee TEL: 0151 526 8200Code1056241Recommendationis our successALSO AVAILABLEaluminium windows,doors & bi foldsFactory & Showrooms: Sefton Lane Ind.

The Champion • Wednesday 30 January 2013Further cuts to‘inflict more pain’in Sefton, warnscouncil leaderReport by Natasha YoungFURTHER cuts are set to “inflictsignificantly more pain” on Sefton’scommunities, as the council revealedmore options to balance its budgetthis week.Yet another list of potential savingswill be discussed by the borough’scabinet members tomorrow(Thursday, January 31), as the localauthority attempts to tackle itsmulti–million pound deficit, whichhas increased by a further £7millionsince the Government Settlement forLocal Authorities was announced inDecember.The council was already strugglingtowards finding savings of £43m overthe next two years on top of the £64mit has already slashed, and describedthe new figure as a “massive blow”.As it now continues working towardsa two year budget plan and continuesits bid to “reshape the council to meetthe needs and priorities of the futurein such a financially restrictedenvironment,” the cabinet willconsider bringing in changes whichwill hit council staff as well as morecuts to services in the borough.Proposals to save £3m, rather than apreviously suggested £6m, by alteringstaff terms and conditions are beingrecommended for progression,subject to further consultation withtrade unions.If given the go ahead they will seeemployees’ pay frozen over the nexttwo years, apart from in schoolswhose governing body controls suchmatters, saving a projected £1.69m in2013/14 and £1.5m in £2014/15.Meanwhile the four–day shutdownof many of the council’s buildings andservices over the Christmas period isalso proposed to continue.New savings options to be discussedby the cabinet include “redefining”the information, advice and guidance‘It is hard to believe how this level ofcuts in Sefton could be seen as fair’Cllr Peter Dowdprovided to young people through theConnexions service; reducing thecouncil’s subsidy to Formby Pool andin return varying the Formby PoolTrust and Formby Land Trust’scontract to allow them to chargehigher rates to users and extend theirlease of operation; and no longersupplying, installing and maintaining11 Christmas trees across the boroughor financially supporting Chrismascelebrations.A review of support packages forchildren with additional needs is alsoproposed, along with integratingdrugs and alcohol services in theborough; charging the full council taxrate for properties empty for morethan a month, rather than the current50%; reducing the number of areacommittees across the borough fromseven to three; reducing thegovernance structure of the councilalong with the number of meetingswhich are held; running the alreadytrimmed back Local History Servicethrough the voluntary sector ratherthan council; and also exploring anMin–house management option andinviting tenders to take on theSouthport Theatre complex in a bid tosave £100,000.Previously discussed optionsincluding the recharging ofmaintenance and utility costs forjunior sports teams and also strippingback mayoral services to the statutoryminimum are recommended to not beprogressed at this point, while cabinetmembers are also expected to confirma strategic review of parking servicesand hold off on controversial on andoff–street parking charge increasesuntil 2014/15.Sefton Council leader, CouncillorPeter Dowd, said: “It is hard to believehow this level of cuts in Sefton couldbe seen as fair. Some of the savings wehave already had to make have had adevastating effect on ourcommunities, and they are likely to behit hard again.“Making cuts of £43 million for thenext two years was bad enough butnow we are faced having to makedecisions which will inflictsignificantly more pain for ourcommunities.“These further cuts, now totalling£50 million, are as a direct result ofthe government reducing its fundingto Sefton Council.“The council is currently consultingon a range of options and this willcontinue. But we have also had tolook, once again, at our budgetoptions and cut deeper into services sothat we can balance our budget –which we are legally required to do.”No final decisions will be made untila meeting of the full council at the endof February where the budget will beset.local.news@champnews.comMORE than 50 jobs areexpected to be lost at an Aintreefactory after a glassmanufacturing specialistannounced it will be closing itssite.Pilkington, a St Helens–basedfirm, said it is expecting to closeits roof glazing site at theAintree Racecourse businesspark later this spring after areview of its operations, withthe loss of 51 jobs.The Nippon Sheet Glass group,who own the company andsites, said in a statement thisweek: “Following a review ofthe IGU Processing businesswithin the UK, the NSG Grouphas announced its intention toclose the PilkingtonVisit us @ www.ChampNews.com • 3Aintree glass factoryset to shut by springmeaning 51 jobs lostBasingstoke IGU and PilkingtonAintree sites.“Where possible, remainingproduction will be transferredto alternative sites within theUK.

Local Slimming World Consultants keptall the local Slimming World groups open for business despite thearctic conditions, to make sure that members could weigh in andkeep their weight loss on track.Tina Whewell, Team Developer for West Lancashire says: “OurSlimming World promise is to run our groups 52 weeks of theyear to ensure members’ weight loss success. So, whatever theweather, we’re committed to making sure that members get thesupport they’ve signed up for. In return we ask for members’commitment to come and stay to group every week. That cansometimes be tough in January and it can be easy to fi nd excusesnot to stick to resolutions – especially when the weather turnscold and icy.“For anyone who’s just started their slimming journey and isbeginning to see the pounds drop off, getting to group and beingable to share ideas and tips is essential to ongoing success. Sowe were determined that the weather wouldn’t stop us. Eventhough it was diffi cult to get around.“For anyone who has resolved to do something about theirweight, shutting down support at this key time and letting themgo off track early on in their weight loss journey might mean theynever get back. That’s why it’s so important to make sure thegroup runs as normal – at Slimming World we promise to be withour members on their weight loss journey every step of the way,and it takes more than a snowfall to stop that!’A local successful Slimming World member, who has been attarget weight for 9 years, Judy Hughes says: “I’ve lost over2st, and I still eat all my favourite things. I wouldn’t miss mySlimming World group for the world. The eating programme isfantastic, because you never go hungry, but it’s the support atthe group every week that really makes the difference. BecauseI know that my Consultant will be here no matter what and she’scommitted to me and I know that fellow group members needsupport, it takes a lot to keep me away every week – and snowwould never stop me!”Judy’s favourite Slimming World mealRoast Lamb DinnerIngredients2 sprigs of rosemary3lb 5oz/ 1.5kg leg of lambSalt and freshly ground black pepper4 large baking potatoes, peeled and cut into chunksLow calorie cooking spray6 carrots, peeled and cut into batons9oz/255g frozen peas1 head of broccoli, cut into fl orets1 head of caulifl ower, cut into fl orets¼ pt/ 142ml gravy, made with granules according to the packetinstructionsNo-added-sugar mint sauce (optional)MethodPreheat your oven to 200°C/400°F/Gas 6.

I was right outside the shop door and if I wasany closer I could have been killed.“It was like nothing I have ever seen, the flames were 20ft highand the fire went on for hours, it was very dangerous and it’svery lucky that nobody has been hurt.”The incident, which happened at 12.20pm, also left around 70homes and businesses without power for nearly 11 hours.Scottish Power said the fire was ‘very unusual’ but early signssuggest it could have been weather–related with snow or icemelting and water leaking into the underground cable box.Andy added: “At first I noticed that the manhole covers hadbeen removed but there was no tape or barriers around so itdidn’t look like any work was getting done.“Then I came back and noticed a small flame coming out of theground like a blowtorch so I went into the shop and told the girlbehind the counter to get out of the building.“As soon as I left the shop it just exploded into the air right infront of me so I ran back to work and my boss called the firebrigade.”Firefighters also claim that it directly caused an electrical fireat a nearby restaurant connected to the link box with ScottishPower claiming that two small cables melted in their fuse box.The devastation caused by the blast in Stanley Road.The electricity company has apologised to all of those affectedby the fire and has said this type of incident is ‘very rare’ and ithas launched a ‘thorough investigation’.A spokesperson for Scottish Power said: “It looks as if it couldhave been weather related with water getting into the cable boxand we apologise for any inconvenience caused.“This is a very rare and unusual incident but we will becarrying out an investigation.”A Merseyside Fire and Rescue Service spokesperson said:“Firefighters attended a electrical fire at a junction box just after12.20pm. While they were dealing with the incident anelectrical fire broke out in a nearby restaurant, which wasconnected to the electricity supply of the junction box.“Firefighters contacted Scottish Power, who isolated theelectricity along the road and both fires were extinguished.• To see a video of the fireball drama, go to our website atwww.champnews.comfreeconsultationTEETH WHITENING • GENERAL DENTISTRY • WRINKLE REDUCTION • FACIAL FILLERS • WHITE FILLINGS • VENEERS • BRIDGESSMILE MAKEOVERS • COSMETIC DENTURES • INVISIBLE BRACES • INMAN ALIGNER • GUM TREATMENTS • DENTAL IMPLANTSNATURAL PORCELAIN CROWNS • STRAIGHTENING • CLOSING GAPS • ZOOM - ADVANCED POWER WHITENING0% Interest free creditSMILES DENTAL CLINIC20 Crosby Road North, Crosby, L22 4QFDr. K.J.

The Champion • Wednesday 30 January 2013Pharmacy’s donation is justthe tonic for OAP bowlersA BOWLING club for senior citizens that wasthreatened with closure due to soaring costshas been saved – thanks to a last–minutedonation.Council cuts mean the LitherlandPensioners Bowls Club’s annual fee for pitchmaintenance has risen to £2,700 as opposedto the usual annual £300 fee.Members feared for the future of the club,which has some members who are in their90s and provides a useful service to those inthe community who would otherwise behousebound.But after a borough–wide appeal,chairman Keith Sandon, 65, managed tosecure the £2,700 funding fromBootle–based pharmacy, Instant Pharmaafter they responded to his appeal on theradio.Keith said: “I’m over the moon about thisas it is very important to keep fees low as weare all pensioners and we can’t afford anyhuge increases in membership fees.“We thought we would have had to put thepayments up and that would have scared offa lot of the members.“Some are in their 90s and if they didn’tplay bowls then they would just be sat insideall year.”Co–owner of the Bootle–based homedelivery pharmacy, Gail Seavor, fromCrosby said: “It’s great to be in a position tohelp these people and so that’s what we aredoing.“They were looking for businesses to putmoney towards their costs so I spoke to mybusiness partner Steven and we gave themthe donation.“This no–strings–attached donation willenable them to keep membership as low asthey possibly can for the next eight years.“We are a closed–door pharmacy who dohome deliveries and it just gets our nameout in the older patient groups but we wouldbe happy to support them in the future ifthey needed it.”Council leaderwarns of ‘morepain’ to comeReport by Natasha YoungFURTHER cuts are set to “inflictsignificantly more pain” on Sefton’scommunities, as the council revealedmore options to balance its budgetthis week.Yet another list of potential savingswill be discussed by the borough’scabinet members tomorrow(Thursday, January 31), as the localauthority attempts to tackle itsmulti–million pound deficit, whichhas increased by a further £7millionsince the Government Settlement forLocal Authorities was announced inDecember.The council was already strugglingtowards finding savings of £43m overthe next two years on top of the £64mit has already slashed, and describedthe new figure as a “massive blow”.As it now continues working towardsa two year budget plan and continuesits bid to “reshape the council to meetthe needs and priorities of the futurein such a financially restrictedenvironment,” the cabinet willconsider bringing in changes whichwill hit council staff as well as morecuts to services in the borough.Proposals to save £3m, rather than apreviously suggested £6m, by alteringstaff terms and conditions are beingrecommended for progression,subject to further consultation withtrade unions.If given the go ahead they will seeemployees’ pay frozen over the nexttwo years, apart from in schoolswhose governing body controls suchmatters, saving a projected £1.69m in2013/14 and £1.5m in £2014/15.Meanwhile the four–day shutdownof many of the council’s buildings andservices over the Christmas period isalso proposed to continue.New savings options to be discussedby the cabinet include “redefining”the information, advice and guidanceprovided to young people through the‘Some of the savings we havealready had to make have hada devastating effect on ourcommunities and they arelikely to be hit hard again’Connexions service; reducing thecouncil’s subsidy to Formby Pool andin return varying the Formby PoolTrust and Formby Land Trust’scontract to allow them to chargehigher rates to users and extend theirlease of operation; and no longersupplying, installing and maintaining11 Christmas trees across the boroughor financially supporting Chrismascelebrations.A review of support packages forchildren with additional needs is alsoproposed, along with integratingdrugs and alcohol services in theborough; charging the full council taxrate for properties empty for morethan a month, rather than the current50%; reducing the number of areacommittees across the borough fromseven to three; reducing thegovernance structure of the councilalong with the number of meetingswhich are held; running the alreadytrimmed back Local History Servicethrough the voluntary sector ratherthan council; and also exploring anin–house management option andinviting tenders to take on theSouthport Theatre complex in a bid tosave £100,000.Previously discussed optionsincluding the recharging ofmaintenance and utility costs forjunior sports teams and also strippingback mayoral services to the statutoryminimum are recommended to not beprogressed at this point, while cabinetBmembers are also expected to confirma strategic review of parking servicesand hold off on controversial on andoff–street parking charge increasesuntil 2014/15.Sefton Council leader, CouncillorPeter Dowd, said: “It is hard to believehow this level of cuts in Sefton couldbe seen as fair. Some of the savings wehave already had to make have had adevastating effect on ourcommunities, and they are likely to behit hard again.“Making cuts of £43 million for thenext two years was bad enough butnow we are faced having to makedecisions which will inflictsignificantly more pain for ourcommunities.“These further cuts, now totalling£50 million, are as a direct result ofthe Government reducing its fundingto Sefton Council.“The council is currently consultingon a range of options and this willcontinue. But we have also had tolook, once again, at our budgetoptions and cut deeper into services sothat we can balance our budget –which we are legally required to do.”No final decisions will be made untila meeting of the full council at the endof February where the budget will beset.Consultation continues around someof the options and more details can befound at www.sefton.gov.ukSCHOOLS across Bootle saw adecrease in exam success in theGCSE performance tables,which were published lastweek.Although the results showed amoderately high percentage ofBootle students achieving fiveor more grades A* to C at GCSElevel there was a distinctdecrease in the figures from lastyear.Hillside High School recorded42% of pupils achieving at leastfive GCSEs A* to C includingEnglish and Maths, comparedwith 47% in 2011.St Ambrose Barlow CatholicCollege topped the board forthe Bootle area with 51% ofstudents attaining five or moreVisit us @ www.ChampNews.com • 3Fall in percentageof pupils gainingA* to C grades inGCSE examsReport by StephanieO’ConnorMERSEYHOME BUYERSGot an interesting story to tell?Champ Newsdesk 01704 3924000800 096 3635merseyhomeA* to C grades, but again, thiswas a drop from the 58% theschool recorded for 2011.The former St George ofEngland Specialist EngineeringCollege, which has now mergedwith St Wilfred’s to form thenew Hawthornes, also went outon a low showing a 10–pointdrop in the tables.In 2011, 54% St George’spupils gained at least 5 A* to Cgrades in the Key Stage 4exams.This was shown to drop to 44%in results published in the mostrecent league table.There were no figurespublished for The Hawthornes.Savio Salesian College alsorecorded a drop in studentsreaching the top grades.According to the table, 39% ofstudents scored five or more A*to C grades in their GCSEscompared to 43% the yearbefore.We Buy Houses!Quick Decision to Quick Completion• Any Property, Any Area, Any Condition• Probate And InheritedProperty Specialists• Repossessions Stopped At Any Stage• Legal Fees Paid.

services has been bannedfrom dialling 999 indefinitely.Last year Richard Wade, 56, of BeechStreet, Bootle spent four months in prisonfor repeatedly prank calling the police,ambulance and fire services.But after being released from jail in May,Wade carried on making the hoax calls, 26of which were to Merseyside Police.On January 11 he was given an Anti–SocialBehaviour Order preventing him fromcontacting emergency services unless in agenuine emergency.It will last indefinitely until another orderis given.If he breaches the ASBO he will face a heftyfine or a prison sentence of anything up tofive years.Wade was given a 12 weeks prisonsentence suspended for 12 months after hepleaded guilty to making hoax calls andpossessing cannabis.The Anti–Social Behaviour Order wasgranted after investigations over the pastyear by the Merseyside Police Anti–SocialBehaviour Officer for Bootle and Crosby.Fire marshall Mark Schuler, who helps toinvestigate hoax calls at Merseyside Fire &Rescue Service, said: “We have a proactivepolicy to tackle hoax callers robustly and allhoax calls received are investigated withevidence given to Merseyside Police.“This individual made hoax calls to theemergency services in 2012, wasting thetime of the control operators and theemergency responders.“Hoax calls put lives at risk and are a costlyand wasteful abuse of resources.Merseyside Fire & Rescue Serviceinvestigates every hoax call we receive andFour–monthprison sentencefailed to deterrepeat offenderwork with Merseyside Police and the CrownProsecution Service to identify andprosecute offenders.”During the last two years Merseyside Fire &Rescue Service has identified more than 40hoax different callers resulting in fines andimprisonment.Shelly Dooley, head of the Force ContactCentre at Merseyside Police, said: “Not onlydo they show a lack of respect for theemergency services, which are run on publicmoney, but responding to false calls candivert our staff from genuine cases wherepeople need us most.“We aim to answer emergency calls in 10seconds, and to get a patrol to a genuineemergency within 10 minutes.“Some people – thankfully in a very smallminority – see hoax calls as a prank, but theyare definitely not humorous and theirconsequences can be extremely serious.“Hoax callers should understand that theycan face a prison sentence if caught.“I would urge members of the public tothink before automatically dialling 999, andto consider if our non–emergency number,101, is more suitable in their particularcircumstances.”40% OFF Laser Hair Removalusing the Soprano

He also demandedher necklace and ring, even thoughshe was not wearing them, said EricLamb, prosecuting.The robber, 21–year–old LiamO’Hare, fled with the watch in awaiting white van driven by hisaccomplice Zack Baptiste. Theyswitched vehicles shortly afterwardsfor a blue Ford Fiesta anddisappeared.However, their movements had beencaptured on CCTV and the van,containing the machete, wasrecovered and the two men werequickly arrested.Baptiste, also 21, of Webster Drive,Kirkby, and O’Hare, of TownsendAvenue, Norris Green, both pleadedguilty to robbery and were each jailedfor three years four months. At thetime of the offence Baptiste had aLiam O’Haresuspended sentence hanging over himand this was activated to runconcurrently.Sentencing them Judge StephenClarke, pointed out that they both hadcriminal records but this offence was“a step up to serious offending.”He said the background to theoffence on September 5 last year wasthat O’Hare had got into considerabledebt and had been told to repay it byZack Baptistecarrying out the robbery and handingover the watch.Baptiste was brought into it andknew what was going to happen butdid not go into the Hawthorne Roadshop and waited outside.Judge Clarke said that the offencehad been traumatic for Mrs Mitchell,who had to seek medical help and feltit had “ruined her life.”Her young daughter was alsoaffected by the incident.Merseyrailservicesdisruptedby bridgecollisionMERSEYRAILservices weredisrupted on theSouthport to HuntsCross line after avehicle smashed intoa railway bridge inSeaforth at about10.37am onMonday, January28.Trains weresuspended betweenBootle New Strandand Hall Road afterthe bridge crash anddelays then followeduntil the afternoon.A Merseyrailspokesperson said:“Services on theSouthport andHunts Cross lineresumed followingan earlier roadvehicle striking abridge at Seaforth.”Network Rail thentweeted: “We’re onsite and haveassessed the bridge.Lines havere–opened.”A Network Railspokesperson said:“At 10.37am a roadvehicle struck theSeaforth bridge sowe closed the lineuntil an engineerwas available toinspect the damage.Three trains wereaffected but thetrack was declaredsafe and re–openedafter 20 minutes.”LIncludes: 1700x700 Acrylic bath & leg set (5mm) 25 yearguarantee, Chrome pop up waste, Front & end panel (luxury),Bath filler tap, Basin tap mono mixer with sprung waste, Toiletand seat, Basin and full pedestal, Bath screen chrome/glass (6mmtoughened safety glass), Trizon thermostatic bar & valve kit, NewUPVC ceiling in white gloss, Chrome IP65 rated downlights, Fullytiled walls and floors (choice of designs), 1100x500 Chromecurved heated towel rail complete with valves, MirrorAS PER SHOWROOM DISPLAYView your bathroom design on our state of theart computer aided planning systemCall us for a FREE home survey without obligationT: 0151 284 65852 Oxford Road, Waterloo L22 8QEwww.splashbathroomsandtiles.co.uk •Email:salessplashbathrooms@hotmail.co.ukOPENING TIMES:Mon-Tue 9.30am - 5.30pm • Wed 9.30am - 12.30pm.Thur 9.30am - 7pm • Fri 9.30am - 5.30pm • Sat 9am - 3pm.*Conditions may apply to free delivery1116082Beat TheCREDIT CRUNCHVan Hire from* PRICES BASED ON A 7 DAY RENTAL PERIOD0151 284 11395% OFF TOKENFIND US AT THE NEW STRAND, BOOTLE, L20 1AA✃With Our Superb Dealsper dayCar Hire✔✔✔Small CarsMedium CarsLarge Cars11153051116058

Every year theSilent Killer attacks over 4,000 people in theUK.All frontline fire engines in Merseyside arealready equipped with ToxiRAE monitors,which are worn by firefighters and can detectdangerous levels of Carbon Monoxide atlocations visited by them either responding toincidents or while carrying out Home FireSafety Checks.Merseyside Fire & Rescue Service is the onlyFire and Rescue Service in the UK to carry theGas Safe awareness campaign imagery. Deputychief fire officer Phil Garrigan said: “As a fireand rescue service we fully support thiscampaign.“This move follows research work weundertook along with Liverpool John MooresUniversity and West Midlands Fire Servicewhere firefighters took readings of CarbonMonoxide (CO) in homes across Merseyside aspart of our Home Fire Safety Checks.“The research found high levels of CO goesunnoticed in many homes across Merseysideon a daily basis, due to a low level of CO alarmsin properties. Merseyside Fire & Rescue Serviceis committed to supporting safer, strongercommunities across Merseyside. The findingsof the study we took part in with LiverpoolJohn Moores University emphasised theimportance of keeping you and your familysafe by using a Carbon Monoxide alarm andmaking sure a Gas Safe registered engineerinspects and services your boiler.“The previous study work and these newadverts will all contribute towards helping toprotect the most vulnerable people in oursociety in Merseyside.”The adverts see the hard–hitting words“4,000 victims.

He pointed out that developershave already drawn up plans to build500–plus houses in Formby and Lydiate.“Sefton may well have these developmentsand others imposed upon them, regardlessof local opposition,” he said. “It may well bethat there is some development to buildaffordable homes for people in places likeLydiate, but the Government is going waybeyond that and mean larger scaledevelopment, completely character of ourtowns and villages.“Community wishes are beingdisregarded. Local Councils are beingdecimated because of the cuts and decisionson how communities evolve are being takenin Westminster.“That is why Mr Bowles can say he willsend the bulldozers in to decimate ourgreenbelt.
