WOMAN, 78,ASSAULTEDBY HER SONA SOUTHPORT man has pleaded guilty toassaulting his 78–year–old mother, who saidher son “appeared to enjoy hurting her”.Andrew Page, prosecuting at Sefton
Magistrates Court on December 12, said thatSimon Jackson, 52, was at home with hismother Eileen Jackson on Wennington Road at5pm on December 9, when she went to closethe blinds while he was watching TV.He said that without warning Simon put a
cushion across her face, before quicklyremoving it.Following that, Ms Jackson, who has poor
mobility and walks with a frame due to anunsuccessful hip operation, was said to havesat down but Simon “grabbed her sore leg andpulled her to the floor, and her bad hip cameinto contact with the floor”.Police and paramedics quickly attended the
scene after Ms Jackson activated a mobiledistress alarm she carries with her.Following his arrest, Simon, who was
“unsteady on his feet and appeared drunk” atthe scene, said to police: “Look, I look after mymother and it’s just frustrating. I’m sorry.”He later said at interview: “She’s nearly deaf
and keeps repeating herself,” and that bycovering her face he tried to “make her quiet,
but when he thought he might be hurting herhe stopped”.Page said he admitted pulling her to the floor
by her leg and “he chose that leg because heknew it was her bad leg”.Ms Jackson was taken to hospital but suffered
no injuries, except for soreness to her leg.Page told the court that she thought the
incident was caused by something she’d saidabout the program he was watching, and that“her son appeared to enjoy hurting her”.John Jones, representing Jackson, said it was
a “very serious common assault” as it involveda “very vulnerable victim.”Informing the court that the police had
originally arrested him on suspicion ofattempted murder before charging him withassault, he said there was “clearly a lot ofbackground” and that “he clearly has a chronicalcohol problem”.Magistrates bailed Jackson on condition he
stayed away from his mother and WenningtonRoad. He will be sentenced at LiverpoolCommunity Justice Centre on January 9.

SIX men have been arrested in connectionwith the attempted burglary at Birkdale’sSantander Bank on Liverpool Road in Mayalong with several others across the region.The six men aged between 27 and 39, have
been arrested for attempted burglary oncash machines and causing explosions, aftera number of warrants were executed at fiveaddresses in Liverpool.The arrests have come after an extensive
investigation by the specialist Matrix team,working together with the West MidlandsRegional and Organised Crime Unit and theNorth West Regional Organised Crime Unit(TITAN), into offenders targeting cashmachines.Detective Superintendent Chris Green,
said: “The arrests are the culmination of athorough and complex investigation intocrimes involving thefts of and thefts fromcash point machines in North West andCentral England.“We have used all the resources available
to us, including technology and forensics, aspart of our investigation and I would like tosend a message out to those who committhese types of crime and think they can getaway with it.“Police forces will work together and will
do everything in their power to identifythose responsible.“Offenders may believe that by committing
crimes in different force areas that they canescape arrest, but forces do work togetherregardless of boundaries to bring people tojustice.He added: ”Some of the techniques used by
offenders in these crimes are extremelydangerous and we are fortunate that no–onehas been hurt. The people who commit thistype of offence are motivated by greed but ifthey think they can get away with this theycan think again.“

Thornton, was stopped when she tried toleave Southport’s Boots with a haul of giftssets and razor blades she’d placed in acanvas bag.Andrew Page, prosecuting at Sefton
Magistrates Court on December 11, whereDonoghue pleaded guilty to theft, said shetold police that she was behind on her rentand would have sold the goods to buyelectricity and pay other household bills.He told the court she tested negative for
drugs but had a record for “numerous likematters going back some time”; her lastconviction being in April for theft.Mark Ellis, representing Donoghue, said
that she’d had a drug problem in the pastbut had swapped her addiction to alcohol,and that she also has a number of debts.“Due to the bedroom tax and other
outgoings she has about £2 per week forgeneral living expenses,” he said.Saying that she sought professional help at
the Windsor Clinic for her drinking problemafter the incident and “hasn’t touched adrop of alcohol since”, he invited themagistrates to “make a brave decision” andconsider giving her a conditional discharge.The magistrates declined however, saying:
“It is quite a lengthy record of offending butwe do take into consideration that you havesought help and hopefully are on the road torecovery.”“But we feel it is a quite serious matter, and
so will deal with it by a curfew.”Making her pay costs of £85 and a victim
surcharge of £60, they put her on a six week7pm–7am curfew, and said: “That will allowyou to continue with all the help you arereceiving.”

BIRKDALE Library could soon be listed as anasset of community value.The proposal has been put forward by the
Friends of Birkdale Library Group, and ifapproved by Sefton Council tomorrow(Thursday, December 19) it means theLiverpool Road building could not be sold forsix months to give time for the group to raisecapital and bid for the facility.The library meets all the nomination criteria
to be listed an asset of community value as itcontributes to the social wellbeing and culturalinterests of the community.Friends of Birkdale Library is a recently
established charity that features three trusteesincluding chairman Val Owen, Sally Moss andSouthport MP John Pugh.Where an interest is registered by a group
such as Friends of Birkdale Library, the assetcannot be sold for six months.This is to give the group time to develop a
proposal and raise the required capital to bidfor the asset when it comes to the open market.The idea for nomination was prompted by
similar action taken by Friends of CarnegieLibrary in Crosby in October.Chair of the trustees of the Friends of Birkdale
Library charity is Val Owen who is a formerhead librarian in Southport.She said: “We have applied to the Council
under the Localism Act 2011 to have Birkdale
Library registered as an Asset of CommunityValue. This means that we would have firstrefusal if the council wants to sell the site sometime in the future.“We would then have six months to put
together a bid to acquire the whole site, to runit as a community facility.“Library campaigners continue to meet on a
regular basis, developing our business plan, sothat we would be ready to move if the Councildoes decide it wants to sell.”The Community Right to Bid does not oblige
the asset owner to sell the asset to thecommunity group nor is it intended toinfluence the price at which the asset iseventually sold.Equally, community groups which have
registered an interest are under no obligationto bid for or purchase the listed asset.

SUPPORT for traders in Birkdaleagainst plans to introduce aSainsbury’s Local Store in the villagehas been boosted by the Federation ofSmall Businesses (FSB).John Allen, national chairman of the
FSB, this week launched Keep TradeLocal campaign supporting Birkdalevillage’s shop owners against the newSainsbury’s store plan – which wasrejected at a recent planning meetingJohn, who is originally from the
resort, joined local member activistsin Birkdale Village for Small BusinessSaturday (Saturday, December 7)where they launched the FSB’sheadline ‘Keep Trade Local’campaign in support of independentbusinesses.Small Business Saturday came ahead
of a Sefton Council planning meetingon Wednesday, December 11 at whichSainsbury’s existing plan for a newstore in Liverpool Road, which hasseen two petitions against itcontaining more than 3000 signaturesin total, was rejected.The applicant is expected to return
with an amended plan.The FSB is supporting Birkdale
traders’ stand against the proposal.National chairman John Allan said:“Sefton Council should wake up andsmell the coffee.“It must realise that its actions in
Southport, in particular, are doinglittle to help small businesses.“The main issue, whether it is Tesco
or Sainsbury’s applying for planning
permission for a new store, is that thecouncil makes a big deal about thejobs being created.“They fall for it every time – sooner
or later they will realise that ratherthan creating jobs they are displacingsome jobs from small businesses thatwould otherwise be able to trade. Infact, overall, jobs are lost.”FSB member Karl Jennings of
Birkdale based Jenning’sGreengrocers said: “It’s great that weare being supported as local traders.“Birkdale is a very supportive place
anyway – we are very lucky that localpeople want to continue to come tothe village to shop.“I don’t think we need a new
supermarket in the village because ithas a good selection of shops as it is.It’s another piece of the cake that’s atrisk – if some small traders lose even alittle bit of trade it could push themover the edge.”Joanne Matthews of Birkdale Cheese
Centre, added: “We’re very gratefulof the work the FSB is putting in tosupport local businesses.“As a local community of traders we
are trying to be as proactive as we canourselves to put the message acrosswith our own initiatives.“We held a Victorian event recently
which was very well attended, as wellas a late night shopping event which isset to take place this coming week.“As a trading community we are
pretty unique with the variety that’son offer from the many independentbusinesses in Birkdale.”Parking was the other main issue
raised by small shop owners inBirkdale. Sefton Council suspendedparking charges across the boroughon Small Business Saturday and alsoon two further days in December.John Allan welcomed the move butsaid the council’s present review ofparking must better supportindependent traders in the longerterm.He said: “We are also aware that
there are also proposals being drawnup for parking meters and restrictionsin Birkdale which would result thefurther decline of the village.”

PLANS to create a new salt marsh at HeskethBank have been put on hold while morediscussions over aviation safety andnavigation take place.The Environment Agency, Natural
England, who safeguard England’slandscapes and protect wildlife and theRoyal Society for the Protection of Birdssubmitted a planning application inSeptember to create an intertidal salt marshhabitat at Hesketh Out Marsh.A salt marsh is a grassed or shrubbed zone
between land and open salt water floodedby the tides, which delivers nutrients tocoastal waters, support land animals andprovide coastal protection.The salt marsh creation would involve the
upgrade of the existing inner flood defenceembankment and breaches in the outerembankment to enable the creation of thesalt marshThis includes the excavation of lagoons
and creeks, construction of access ridgesthrough the site, installation of bird hide,
extension to existing car park,improvements to the footpath along thecrest of the embankment and reprofiling ofexisting access ramps into the site.But plans were met with protests by a
boatyard and an airport who fear that theproposal could put them out of business.Raymond Jackson, the director of the
Douglas Boatyard raised fears that changesto sedimentation and additional silt in theRiver Douglas could make the channelun–navigable, while a spokesman for theCanal and River Trust said affectedsedimentation patterns would bedetrimental to the leisure value of thewaterways.A spokesman for Preston Marina said that
an adverse effect on navigation could be‘very serious’ for their business and aspokesman for Blackpool Airport raisedfears that the development presented ahazard aircraft around Blackpool AirportThe decision was made by the West
Lancashire Borough Council planningcommittee on Thursday December 12 thatplanning permission was deferred forfurther safety [email protected]

national trends, as the number reportedassaults nationally has risen, jumping from59,744 in 2011/12 to 63,199 in 2012/13.Alan Lee, hospital physical risk manager, for
Southport and Ormskirk NHS Trustsaid: “TheTrust is committed to protecting staff from anyrisk to their health and safety.“Staff are encouraged to report any incidents
of verbal or physical abuse which are thenanalysed to identify and monitor trends.“In 2012/13, 16,475 physical assaults were
recorded in acute hospitals across England, 50of which were reported by the Trust.“Often assaults happen as a result of the
patient’s illness. We work closely with localpolice and provide them with all necessarysupport to pursue the prosecution of offenderswhere it is possible.”Meanwhile figures show that the number of
children being treated at Ormskirk A&EDepartment has soared by almost 20% over thelast five years.Children admitted to the Accident and
Emergency department increased from 20,815in 2007–8 to 21,959 in 2008–9 and some22,120 children admitted in 2009/10.
There were 24,464 admitted in 2010/11,some 24,130 in 2011/12 and 24,371 in2012–3.Adults treated in the Accident and Emergency

“We know from the feedback we get that thecare our staff provide at Ormskirk hospital isvery much appreciated by children’s parents.“There has been a national trend towards
more children attending accident andemergency departments. We have also noticedmore children coming to see us from outsidethe hospital’s natural catchment area ofSouthport, Formby and West Lancashire.“However, it is important that parents
examine their options before bringing a childto A&E. There is always extra pressure on A&Eservices throughout the winter, so if a child isunwell but your case is not an emergency,consider other ways you can get advice.Walk–in centres, out of hours GPs andpharmacists are all useful options.”

Don’t be caught out this winter
WINTER DEATHS INCREASE BY A THIRDFigures issued by the Office forNational Statistics have shownthat there were an estimated31,100 excess winter deaths inEngland and Wales last year – upby almost a third on the previouswinter, with people aged over 75making up 25,600 of the totalnumber.
The north-west of England had thehighest rates of deaths according tothese figures.
A spokesperson for Age ConcernLiverpool and Sefton said theorganisation feared that the figurecould increase further still unlessmore care and provisions are put inplace to support and protect olderpeople: “Whilst these figures areworryingly high, we as an organisationsadly aren’t shocked.
“With fuel poverty affecting moreand more people as energy pricescontinue to rise faster than older
people’s income, people are beingforced to turn their heating down, orindeed off, during the winter months.
“Older people are often moreaffected than most by cold weatherand can often be incrediblyvulnerable as the winter months taketheir toll.
“What we want to see is more carebeing taken to protect older peopleenabling them to adequately managethe cold weather”.
Help a relative or neighbourThe Age Concern spokespersoncontinued: “More awareness shouldbe made of UK wide schemes thataim to address fuel poverty and oftenprovide assisted or free support withheating and insulation.
“The ECO (Energy CompanyObligation) initiative offers installationof free boilers for those living inprivate accommodation and in receiptof pension credits or other statebenefits.
“We believe that a significantnumber of older people are not awarethey may be eligible and urge anyperson who meets these tworequirements to get in touch with us.
“A new A-rated boiler will providebetter heating and can reduce energybills by an average 30%.
“Our partnership with FletchroseHeat Team has helped thousands infuel poverty over the last four monthshaving new boilers installed free ofcharge. This will continue into early2015.”
Chief executive of Fletchrose PaulDurose stated: “ If you are in receiptof certain benefits it’s a fantastic wayof getting a new boiler free of chargefor your home.
“As a company we are always tryingto keep prices as low as can be for aquality service.
“If you don’t qualify for a free boilerwe have other excellent deals thatcan save you on average of £300 ofyour heating Bills.
“These recent figures of avoidableexcess winter deaths are incrediblydistressing and it’s sad toacknowledge in today’s society thatmembers of our community can diefrom the effects of bad weather.
“For anybody who has an elderlyrelative, who may be able to benefitfrom the ECO scheme and gain afully fitted free boiler, please pass thisimportant message on.
“Help is here and there aremeasures that can be taken to helptackle the British winter”.

MEN in Sefton are being urged tolook out for their mates andthemselves over the festiveperiod, after there was a massive20% increase in calls to a helplinein November and December lastyear.THE Campaign Against Living
Miserably (CALM) charity, whichis highly active in Merseyside, hasincreased its work in Sefton overthe past 16 months because of arise in suicide rates among menaged over 35.CALM’s Man Down campaign,
which was launched in Augustlast year, sets out to assure men inthe area that it is OK for them toopen up if they feel under stressor unhappy.It has resulted in a 467%
increase in calls to the CALMhelpline from men in the Seftonarea.Simon Howes, CALM campaign
co–ordinator, said: “We aredelighted that the Man Downcampaign has hit home with somany blokes across Sefton so farand they are realising that it is OKto talk to someone about theissues that are worrying them orgetting them down.“In the first month of the
campaign we had more than 300men contact our free andconfidential helpline whichshows us that there is a real need
for support. Since then, we’vehad thousands of calls from mendealing with a range of issuessuch as anger management, thebreakdown of a relationship,caring for a sick loved one or theafter–affects of redundancy.”CALM has taken its message to
where men are such as gyms,running groups, sports clubs,fishing clubs, music venues, pubs,bars and social clubs acrossSefton.Mr Howes: “We know from our
work last year that Christmas is apressure point for men.“It doesn’t help that often the
media portrays us blokes as beingnot much use this time of year.“Men also don’t tend to have
many support networks in theirlives which can make Christmaseven harder to deal with.“We want to get across that
being silent isn’t being strongand there is help out there if menneed it.”CALM offers advice to anyone.

A LIFE saving defibrillator has been placed atCrossens Bowling Club by Southport charityHeart4Heart who, in memory of big banddrummer Reg Howard, are fundraising toplace potentially lifesaving defibrillatorsacross the town.The defibrillator was purchased following a
series of fundraising events.Reg, a well known member of the Southport
community, lost his life following a cardiacarrest which he suffered at home in August2012.His family and friends, determined to keep his
memory alive, developed the Heart4Heartcampaign.They originally began fundraising to provide
a defibrillator at Fleetwood Hesketh Club, butthe response from the community has been sogreat that they have now progressed –resulting in four defibrillators being purchasedfor the resort.Training on CPR and how to use the
defibrillator was also held by North WestAmbulance Service for members of CrossensBowling ClubIt is proven that intervention during the first
few minutes of cardiac arrest is vital, and nowtrained members of the community will be onhand to give immediate help to anyone whosuffers a cardiac arrest. The machines giveverbal instructions and tell you where to placepatches on the patient’s chest.They read the patient’s heart rate and, only if
needed, will deliver a shock to re–start theheart.Pauline Howard, Reg’s wife said: “We are so
pleased to be able to locate a defibrillator inCrossens and it is nice to know that it will belocated in the bowling club.“The community support for our campaign
has been phenomenal, and is growing all of thetime.“Reg would be very proud of the way family,
friends and our local community havesupported Heart4Heart and I only hope thattogether, we can make a difference and save alife.”

Doing nothing about the state of localgovernance in Sefton is not an option.Ever since it was created in 1974, Sefton has
never been a happy council; party politics havecombined with the politics of geography tocreate a toxic cocktail, which has corrodedlocal government here.As far back as 1997, a Local Government
Commission report observed that “The level ofdiscontent does not suggest that Sefton is anauthority at one with itself.”Ideally local government should be run as a
local business.There would be a small board of elected
decision–makers with a detailed knowledge oftheir community and a head for business andmoney, buying in services from the privatesector as required.They would oversee a small but adaptable
workforce who have a commitment to the areaand to the residents, who in turn take an activeinterest in local politics.I am afraid what we have is exactly the
opposite – a centralised artifice of impersonalregional public corporations run by remoteone–party cabinets, staffed by aunion–dominated workforce and run byoverpaid officers who run rings aroundmediocre career councillors, most of who bringlittle else to the table other than their partisanpolitics, which ill–equips them to run amulti–million pound business.
Moreover, local government was once thecoalface of British democracy wheremembership of a political party was amainstream social activity in which peoplegave their time and expertise for the benefit oftheir community.I contend that, after the 1974 replacement of
local councils with mega authorities, ordinarypeople lost interest in daytime meetings held indistant places and huge budgets which nopart–time elected representative could hope toadequately oversee.Once ‘local’ became ‘regional’, the whole
process of participation went off the boil, as didvoters’ appreciation of the relevance ofdemocracy to their everyday lives, witnessdeclining voter turnout at elections.I suggest that, as part of a pilot exercise in
democratic renewal, Sefton be split into three‘mini’ metropolitan boroughs of Bootle,Southport and South West Lancashire, inrecognition that each of these communities hasits own distinct priorities, identity and needs.Size isn’t important; if Rutland Council has
satisfactorily performed the role of a unitaryauthority since 1997 notwithstanding its tinypopulation of 37,369, there’s no reason whythree ‘mini–mets’ with an average populationof 90,000 a–piece could not work up here.

Re: article on raised kerbs.This motion put forward by councillors
supporting raised kerbs is veryshort–sighted to say the least.All kerbs should be lowered.As a mobility scooter user you cannot get
up and down kerbs.I am sure I am speaking for all the other
mobility scooter users, wheelchair users,rollator users, people who have difficulty inwalking, not forgetting mums with prams.The councils could use knobbly pavement
flags just before a road. Then blind peoplecould feel them underfoot and know theyare at a road.They will know they are safely across when
they feel the knobbly flags.So then all people with disabilities would
not have to negotiate high kerbs.

I must congratulate Merseyside Police foracquiring smoke grenades ‘designed todisorientate offenders’.How does this magic smoke know who to
disorientate?Only last week, I took an escalator upstairs in
a large and very noisy HMV store, and then hadtrouble finding my way downstairs.If smoke is released in a large store, I imagine
that panic would follow.

I have complained to Merseyside Policethree times now regarding Stamford Road,Southport where lorries, vans and cars oftenwell over 30mph even when pupils are goingin and out of Christ the King High School.Also on Bedford Road, Kew Road,
Lyndhurst Road and Clifford Road, evenresidents in those roads drive at 30mph andover!If the authorities are not going to ‘police’
these newly implemented speed zones, thenthe money spent in erecting poles andplacing speed limit signs is totally wasted.The council are all too quick to fleece the
motorist for parking minutes over theparking time – easy pickings.We may feel the new limits are needless,
but they will reduce injury and extent ofdamage caused in a crash whether werecognise that fact or not.

FIRST of all I must thank all those kind peoplewho have given me their condolencesfollowing the death of my brother George.I never suspected that there was so much
goodwill and even affection for either me orGeorge – the response both in cards and fromfolk simply stopping me on the street has beentruly heart–warming.But back to business...Although not feeling particularly festive at the
moment, I was cheered by the announcementthat Merseytravel has at last been persuaded toprovide buses on Boxing Day and New Year’sDay to my neck of the woods (Maghull) for thefirst time in donkey’s years. At last I, and otherswithout access to a motor car, will be able toget out and about to some extent.Mind you, these services are being touted as
‘new’. Well, new indeed for Merseytravel whoare providing them, but back in the days of mychildhood there were ‘normal’ bus services onboth these days and a skeleton service at leaston Christmas Day as well.Now I know what you will be thinking. Bus
drivers too want to spend Christmas withfamily and friends. Of course they do. But then,we all expect the TV to function normally,many will be popping down to the pub forfestive drinks or indeed their Christmas dinner.And we would be a little put out if the lightsdidn’t work.For all these things men and women have to
forego at least part of their own Christmascelebrations. But more to the point, I do notthink there would be any great difficulty infinding enough volunteers to drive a bus onChristmas Day. There must be several who, likeme this year, have precious little reason to bemerry. People who would probably quite liketo have something to fill their time and earn afew bob on the way.In fact, I reckon the real reason that so few
make any fuss about the lack of any means ofgetting about, short of horrendously pricedtaxis, is that since the majority now have a car,or easy access to one, lone voices crying in thewilderness can safely be disregarded.
And, for once at least, I’m not thinking aboutmy own situation. The two dogs, Tina andCinders, will need good walks anyway, sothat’ll fill quite a bit of time.I have been very kindly invited round to one
person’s home for my Christmas dinner – aninvite I feel I can’t really take up because itwould mean abandoning said dogs.Instead I have decided on starting a new
tradition for the three of us, with Christmasdinner (including Christmas pud) and a goodsit–down to watch the repeats on telly. Andthere’s Dr Who to look forward too as well.Then, on Boxing Day, just to show willing I
can catch the ‘new’ 250 bus into town and dosomething or other quickly before catchinganother back to relax with the hounds.Now if only Merseyrail could be persuaded to
bring back local Boxing Day trains my cupcould indeed run over and the dogs and I couldhave a good long ramble along the lanesbetween Ormskirk and Maghull.Sorry if all this seems a tad sorry for myself –
as I said at the beginning of this column, I’mgenuinely chuffed at the number of folk who docare – and would no doubt do so no matterwhat the time of year.And so to all readers of this column, a
heartfelt Happy Christmas. Make it a time ofgoodwill to everyone.
Cheered by ‘new’ bus services
AS the festive lights go up on the formerCarlton Hotel and the new bespoke EightyEight Bar and Brasserie opens I thought itwould be quite apt to focus this week’s StrangeBut True around number 88 Lord Street...When you open your Christmas crackers
chances are you’ll find a joke about a horsewalking into a bar. You always get one.However, in the 1970s a horse walking into a
bar certainlywasn’t a joke in Southport!Among the thirsty clientele of what was once
one of Lord Street’s iconic hostelries were localshop–owners, businessmen and a Birkdale cardealer/racehorse trainer by the name ofDonald ‘Ginger’ McCain.Even if you’re not au fait with steeplechases or
furlongs, chances are you’ll have heard ofGinger McCain – a legendary trainer who wonthe Grand National four times – three of themwith an Irish–bred gelding called Red Rumwhose name also probably rings a bell!On March 31 1973 Red Rum stormed home bya mere three–quarters of a length (innon–racing terms about 6ft) in what was thena record time of nine minutes and two seconds.Rummy became an instant hero across the
UK, no more so than in Southport where theequine superstar returned with a beamingGinger McCain.Everyone in the town wanted to see Rummy
after that win and the place they’d most likelyspot him was the bar at the Carlton Hotel.It wasn’t uncommon for Ginger to take
Rummy into the bar from time to time andshortly after his first win at Aintree, thechampion thoroughbred would be propping upthe bar, completely at ease with the admiringpunters and regulars around him.One shop manager who worked at Paige, now
the Gift Company, on Lord Street was finishingfor the day on April 2 and joined her staff for adrink across the road at the Carlton.As they entered they were greeted by Rummy,
by then well into his second pint of water.
The story recounted to me is as follows: “Wefinished for the day and locked up beforeheading over to the Carlton.“When we got there Ginger, who we all knew,
called us over for a drink and was effusive in hispraise of Rummy, who had attracted quite a bitof attention.“It was just after he’d won his first National.
To be honest I don’t think many people werefazed by a great big horse at the bar.“We all got a round of drinks and chatted
about how incredible the race had been.“Rummy was calm as anything – he wasn’t
scared of the crowds or all that bothered butyou could tell how proud and elated Gingerwas and who could blame him?”The original building at 88 Lord Street was
erected in 1901 and called The CarltonMansions. Local millionaire John Craig made amove for the building shortly after in 1924 andthe name was changed to the Carlton Hotel.In 1977, after Red Rum won his third Grand
National and took a well–earned rest, thehotel’s bar became known as The Red Rum barin honour of the horse’s magnificentachievements.Who knows, perhaps Rummy galloped to the
finishing post so quickly to make sure he madeit to the bar for last orders...

Scheme is being reconsidered inthe light of the Government’sproposed changes to pensionsand welfare benefits.The consultation is seeking
views on whether the applicableamounts and personalallowances for non–pensionerhouseholds should be ‘uprated’using Department for Work andPensions rates.This should avoid working age
claimants receiving less CouncilTax support.The proposed changes will not
affect customers who havereached their state pension agewho continue to have theirCouncil Tax Reduction calculatedon rules set by the Government.At the moment there are more
than 16,552 working ageresidents in the borough who areaffected by the scheme.The draft scheme is available to
view on the Sefton Council
website or at the two One StopShops and a consultation on theproposed new scheme is nowunderway which runs untilMonday, January 6.Cllr Paul Tweed, cabinet
member corporate services said:“Unfortunately, in real terms, ourfunding by Government has beenreduced by £114m since 2010.“We have also seen a cut in the
amount of Council Tax supportgiven to us this year of about£3.7m. However, we will alwaysdo our best to help those on lowerincomes and want to ensure thatanyone who has an interest in thisproposed revision of the schemehas an opportunity to have theirsay.“Your views and the
information provided will beanalysed and will then form partof a report when we have to makea decision for 2014/15.“This affects thousands of

PATIENTS with chronic pain in Southport areusing song to help treat their symptoms.The Good Vibrations choir formed in April
and now around 20 patients meet each week atWoodvale Community Centre to practice.The choir gave their first public performance
last week (Friday December 13) in theAinsdale Centre for Health and Well–being,near Southport.Karen Moss, a pain sufferer herself and
primary school teacher at Lydiate PrimarySchool, set up the choir with the support of DrBecky Simm, Principal Clinical Psychologist atSouthport and Ormskirk Hospital NHS Trust’sCommunity Pain Service.Becky said: “There is a growing body of
evidence that singing in a group can improvepeople’s well–being, although the reasons forthis are not yet fully understood.“Karen volunteers her time to run the choir
and the combination of her music skills and herexpertise as a pain sufferer works really well.“It certainly seems to have an effect from
what members of the choir tell me and is alsoshown by improvements on their well–beingmeasures.”At least one member misses a dose of their
pain relief medication on the afternoon thechoir meets to sing.Karen added: “The choir idea started when I
realised how much singing was helping me tomanage my conditions.“I asked Dr Simm whether it might affect
others in the same way. The pilot choir wasstarted and has grown in many ways ever since.The members talk about how singing throughthe pain helps them to manage.“The nature of singing together, providing a
synchrony within the group, seems to affect usfor the better.”Choir member Clare Patterson, from
Southport, said: “Singing takes your mind offthe pain and lifts your spirits.”

Always being accountable...
In choosing an accountancy fi rm, trust has to be a primary concern. Since 1997, Heriot Hughes has built up a client base organically and naturally who range from individuals to corporate. To understand the ethos behind the fi rm and its success, it is important to know that John Hughes is the Principal of Heriot Hughes Chartered Accountants and qualifi ed as a Member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales and Registered Auditor in May 1994. He completed his training contract with a medium sized fi rm of Chartered Accountants in Liverpool and then obtained signifi cant business experience working for a large multinational charity based in Cheshire. At the same time he worked as a Sessional Tax Lecturer at the John Moores University tutoring students in both CIMA and Certifi ed accountancy qualifi cations.
This put John in perfect good stead for the new accountancy practice he launched in 1997. Originally based in Formby, it relocated to where it stands now in Crosby Road North in April 2003.
Heriot Hughes’ success with varied clients stems from providing fi xed fees where at no time clients are exposed to surprise bills, an important point to consider when dealing with accountancy tasks. John realised that the key to the fi rm’s success was signifi cant marketing to gain new business contacts and also providing a high quality cost effective service focused on client retention. This could only be achieved by exceeding client’s expectations at all times.
Heriot Hughes now has a team of eight
employees all specialising in different areas of Tax, VAT, Payroll & Business Administration. The fi rm provides a range of services from Accounts Preparation, Company Formation, Personal Tax through to PAYE, Tax Planning and Business Advisory Services. Heriot Hughes’s team is second to none in providing sound advice and delivering on time and within any budget limitations.
John says: “We work hard all year round and at the moment our priorities are with our clients’ Self Assessment Tax returns.
We get those completed and aim to have them all fi led well in advance of the 31st January deadline.” John is quick to point out that Heriot Hughes welcome to help individuals preparing for this deadline if they fi nd this process too challenging.,
even at this stage.John has no doubts about the worth
of BNI to his business. He says: “A high proportion of our new clients come through personal recommendation and referral. BNI has assisted us in this respect as it is all about passing business through a systemised referral process. BNI has been great for us. Absolutely.” It is also worth noting that John attends weekly networking breakfast meetings were he is Chapter Director at the Ramada Hotel in Southport and this constant marketing has led to the signifi cant growth of the fi rm.

PEOPLE who get a new bike for Christmas arebeing offered a free present in the New Year.Police in Sefton are teaming up with a local
bike shop to offer free security marking forbikes and other valuable property.Officers are opening up Formby police station
between 1pm and 3pm on Friday, January 3 tohelp people register their belongings on asecure police database and mark them up todeter thieves.And the day before (Thursday, January 2),
also between 1pm and 3pm, they will be at abike shop in Station Road, Ainsdale offeringthe same thing.Ainsdale and Formby neighbourhood
inspector, Jim Atherton, said: “This is all aboutprotecting your property and deterring thieves.“At this time of year people will be getting lots
of new stuff for Christmas, much of which willbe expensive and valuable to them.“The last thing we want is find people having
their things stolen by ruthless criminals whodon’t care about the misery they cause byhelping themselves to things that aren’t theirs.
“By coming along to these free events, youwill be helped by my officers in registering yourbikes, electronics and computers on a securedatabase that the police have access to.“If your property is marked as being
registered with Immobilise.com, it may deter athief, and if it is still stolen but later recoveredby the police, we’ll know straightaway who therightful owner is.”Immobilise.com works by allowing police
forces throughout the country permanentaccess to a database containing the serialnumbers of every item of property registeredon it.The database links the serial number to the
contact details of the person who registered it.If officers stop a suspected burglar or robber
in possession of stolen property, they can makea quick call to Immobilise or a check on thewebsite so see who it really does belong to.Police in Sefton are also encouraging cyclists
to put a good quality bike lock on theirChristmas list and, when storing their bikes insheds or garages, ensure the building has goodquality locks and an alarm.Keeping your bike and other valuables away
from windows and out of sight under a cover isalso recommended.Sefton Homewatch is also encouraging
people to protect their property usingSmartwater. Call Merseyside Police on 0151777 3419 or visit the website to find out [email protected]

• Jack and The Beanstalk• Southport Theatre
IT doesn’t feel like Christmaswithout a panto and SouthportTheatre and Convention Centreprovides a spectacular show full offun and surprises.Jack and the Beanstalk is original
and refreshing to watch but alsomanages to throw in every lovedpantomime cliché along the way.The classic tale will delight
audiences of all ages, with brilliantsongs and dances for the children –and even some mature jokes for theparents!There is also a wonderful cast and
Lee Latchford–Evans, who was amember of the band Steps, playedthe character of Jack and was thestar of the show.He seemed to love his role of the
hero and had the audience on theedge of their seat with an all actionperformance.But it wouldn’t be a panto without
a villain, and the giant’s henchmanis a perfect fit for children to ‘boo’!It also features popular and
current songs from the likes of OneDirection and Beyonce to give thepanto a modern feel.However, it doesn’t forget its roots
and there are plenty of references tothe origins of the tale.Jack, along with his Mum and
brother Billy, are down on their luckand desperately need money to paytheir rent.
When Jack is tricked into sellingthe beloved family cow for ahandful of magic beans, the heromust climb the beanstalk all theway up to the clouds and face theevil Giant Blunderbore.There is enough romance, action,
heartwarming moments and twiststo keep audiences guessing rightuntil the end.It is fun for the all the family and is
a perfect way to spend a few hoursduring the Christmas period.Champion verdict: 9/10.Jack and the Beanstalk is being
shown at the Southport Theatre andConvention Centre.The last performance is on
Tuesday, December, 31, but thereare plenty of chances to catch theshow before [email protected]
Pantomime full of fun and surprisesReview by Tom Martin
AN exhibition of work by aworld–famous artist is coming toSouthport.Matisse: Drawing with Scissors. Late
Works 1950–1954 the HaywardTouring Exhibition will open at TheAtkinson next February.The French painter, sculptor and
designer, Henri Matisse (1869–1954)was one of the 20th century’s mostinfluential artists. His vibrant worksare celebrated for their extraordinaryrichness and luminosity of colour.Matisse: Drawing with Scissors, from
the Southbank Centre, Londonfeatures 35 lithographic prints of thefamous cut–outs, produced in the lastfour years of his life, when the artistwas confined to his bed. It includesmany of his iconic images, such as TheSnail and the Blue Nudes.Matisse continued creating highly
original works into his eighties. Forhis cut–outs he used paperhand–painted with gouache, laiddown in abstract or figurativepatterns: He said: “The paper cut–outallows me to draw in the colour.Instead of drawing the outline andputting the colour inside it. I drawstraight into the colour.” The colours
he used were so strong that he wasadvised by his doctor to wear darkglasses.The lithographic reproductions in
this exhibition are taken from aspecial double issue of Verve, a reviewof art and literature, published byTériade, a major publisher of fine artbooks in 1958.Jane Brown, The Atkinson’s
Museum and Gallery officer said: “Itis exciting to be able to bring such ashigh quality exhibition from one ofthe world’s most famous artists to theAtkinson.” Matisse began his working life as a
lawyer, before going to Paris to studyart in 1890. At first stronglyinfluenced by the Impressionists, hesoon created his own style, usingbrilliant, pure colours, and startedmaking sculptures as well aspaintings. In 1905 he and hiscolleagues were branded the Fauves(wild beasts) because of theirunconventional use of colour, and itwas during this time that he paintedhis celebrated Luxe, Calme et Volupté(Luxury, Tranquillity and Delight).Running alongside the exhibition
will be Drawing with Scissors
workshop on Monday, February 17between 11am–2pm. The familyfriendly workshop inspired by theexhibition uses Henri Matisse’stechnique of collage and cut–outs tocreate small pieces for children to takehome, as well as producing a hugepiece of art for the gallery.The Matisse: Drawing with Scissors.
Late Works 1950–1954 is runningfrom February 15 until March 16 . Theexhibition is free.

AN ADVERT in last week’s Championapparently solved a motoringmystery. When the job gets too toughfor reindeer, Santa uses an IsuzuD–MAX!Plugs for Japanese pick–up trucks
aside, the question of what theworld’s best known delivery manwould opt for as his choice of wheels isa surprisingly tricky one to call.In fact, the topic occupied a
surprising amount of time with my
colleagues at the Classic Car WeeklyChristmas dinner the other day.Yep, I know we should get out more.Personally, I reckon it’s still open to
debate. Largely because I doubtFather Christmas would use any formof motorised transport – not evensomething as surefooted and spaciousas the aforementioned D–MAX – forthe job of dispatching all the poniesand Sony Xbox Ones to all the boysand girls who’ve been nice and
enough coal to heat Sheffield for amonth to all the ones who’ve beennaughty.If Father Christmas actually issued
Rudolph and his mates their P45s anddid his rounds next Tuesday nightwith a car, said vehicle would have tohave Antonov–rivalling levels ofroom inside for all the presents, andstill somehow be light enough to parkon a snowy roof without eithercrashing through the slate tiles ontothe mince pies simmering below orsliding off altogether, falling into thestreet below and landing TheChampion the festive scoop of thecentury.I reckon, boys and girls, that the
prestigious job of delivering all thepresents can only be done using adozen reindeer and a sleigh endowedwith a TARDIS–esque quality.Particularly because the only way I
can think of him doing the jobautomotively depresses me.Father Christmas clattering up your
driveway in a battered old MercedesSprinter would ruin the magic ofChristmas!If our bearded chum way up north
does own a car, I reckon he’d use it forrather more mundane duties. Poppingto the Lapland branch of ASDA,perhaps, or running the elves backfrom the pub on a Friday night.I quite liked the idea of Father
Christmas, if he’s anything like thegrumpy Englishman portrayed in the1991 cartoon, bobbing about insomething like an old TriumphHerald, but it stands to reason that heboth lives and works at either Laplandor the North Pole, both of whichrequire the use of something a bitsturdier. Something which is comfyenough for a portly bloke who’sgetting on a bit, but can still fight itsway out of a snowdrift.Therefore, after much deliberation,
I’ve decided that Father Christmas isa Range Rover man. Merry Christmas!
Santa is definitely aLand Rover man
Even a Mercedes Sprinter would fail to meet the load–lugging needs ofFather Christmas Code NA

NOW that winter has well andtruly arrived, you need to makesure you leave yourself enoughtime to prepare your car.Spending time to get the carready for the weather conditionsis important so that it copes wellthroughout your journey. Now isthe time to check the battery andthat your screen has afreeze–resistant additive.Clear the snow from the
windscreen and windows, fromthe roof and the car of the bonnetas well as it will blow black on toother cars when you get moving.Bear this in mind when
following other vehicles,particularly lorries. Ice and snowfrom the roofs of lorries can blowonto the road.Whatever the weather, make
sure your windscreen andwindows are clean. Low wintersun will highlight smears andscratches and cars get muchdirtier more quickly when theroads are wet. Clean yourwindows inside and out – a dirtyscreen will cause the windows tomist up much quicker.Don’t switch the engine on until
you are ready to go; a modern cardoes not need to warm the engine
up. When you get in the car, makesure all extras such as lights,heaters and the radio are turnedoff before you try starting it.When you’re ready to go, switchthe heater or the air con on, sothat the windows don’t steam up.Check that you can see throughall the mirrors and windowsbefore pulling away. Use the‘ice’ setting if your car has one.As well as making sure your car
is ready, it’s important thatyou’re appropriately preparedtoo. Make sure your mobilephone is fully charged. Programthe number for your breakdownprovider into it, and ensure youhave any policy numbers ormembership cards that you mightneed. Think about youremergency kit, particularly inrural areas – a high viz jacket,food and water, boots, de–icer,scraper, torch and shovel are allmusts when the weather isparticularly bad. And if you takeregular medication, make sureyou have enough with you in caseyou’re delayed.Don’t forget, if the weather is
really bad; think about whetheryou really need to make thejourney before travelling.

Formby 2Holker Old Boys 2
FORMBY had to battle for a share of thepoints when in–form Cumbrian side HolkerOld Boys came calling on Saturday.Despite their mid–table ranking, the Stags
had withstood the challenge of two of theother breakaway top five clubs from theNorth West Counties First Division, sodespite the Squirrels’ winning streak,Holker will have travelled with confidence.With the squalling wind creating
unpredictability both sides were trying longshots in the early stages, and Stags’ keeperOllie Bell fumbled and spilled them over andover again.It was no surprise when Formby took the
lead midway through the first half as MiniAdegbenro powered in from the left and hisshot was, predictably, not held, allowinghim to hit the rebound home.The lead lasted a mere five minutes before
a Holker corner was dropped in front of goaland Matt Daly pushed it through a thicket ofplayers into the net.Emboldened by their equaliser, Holker
took the game to Formby and earned a 2–1lead in the 34th minute, Paul Southwardsending a looping header over Formbykeeper Graham ‘Grumpy’ McLoughlin.The Squirrels came out of the interval a
changed, determined side.For all their pressure nothing was made in
front of goal until the 72nd minute whenAndy Olsen was brought down in the D ofHolker’s area.Marvin Molyneux did one of his ‘specials’
hammering a long range free kick into thenet to equalise.Buoyed by the goal, Formby went all out for
the winner, though Holker still hadtremendous spark and managed severalpenetrating attacks before the final whistledeclared the match a 2–2 draw.Squirrels travel to table–topping Nelson on
Saturday.The Admirals won 3–1 at Victoria Park in
August, but then lost 4–0 when theyreturned for a league cup game in October.Formby are currently fifth in the North
West Counties first division, 13 pointsbehind Nelson but with four games in hand.On Boxing Day Formby will be hosting
Irlam, kick off 3pm.
