Career burglar whoruined a couple’sholiday is back in jail
A CAREER burglar - who beganbreaking into homes when hewas just 12 years old - has beenput back behind bars.
A court heard that John Mock-ler has had two periods when hestopped offending after seekinghelp for his drug addiction, buthad unfortunately fallen backinto his old ways.
“You are a heroin addict and acareer burglar and it seems to methat when you have the need to fund your habit youclearly could not care less about the misery yourcrimes cause,” said the judge, Recorder Timothy Han-nam, QC.
His most recent crime involved burgling the homeof a couple who had gone away to celebrate thewife’s 65th birthday and their week’s holiday wasruined when their daughter told them an intruderhad stolen irreplaceable sentimental jewellery.
60-year-old Mockler, of Cedar Street, Bootle, wasjailed for a total of four years after admitting break-ing into the house in Eshe Road North, Crosby andalso breaking into Boots pharmacy in Bootle’s NewStrand.
Liverpool Crown Court heard that he has commit-ted 41 previous offences and he has now carried out20 burglaries and it was the second time he hadbeen a “third striker” meaning a minimum threeyear term had to be imposed.
Recorder Hannam said that on April 5 this yearMockler smashed his way into Bootle’s New Strandshopping centre and then into the Boots storearmed with a hammer and a towel to shield himselffrom the breaking glass.
He searched in the prescriptiondrugs area of the shop but on see-ing a security guard he ran off. Hewas apprehended at his homelater in the process of washing hisclothes. He was arrested and inter-viewed and made no comment.
Fifteen days later he broke intothe house in Crosby and thecouple’s daughter came home tofind an intruder had made anuntidy search and taken jewelleryof sentimental value. Whilebreaking in Mockler cut himselfand his DNA led to police identify-
ing him and arresting him again.Derek Jones, prosecuting, said that in an impact
statement Sean Dorgan told how they still had fivedays of their holiday to go but the news of the burg-lary ruined it for them.
They were very upset and could not believe theyhad been burgled and had since considered moving.Mr Dorgan said that he had become paranoid athearing noises at night and had upgraded theirs e c u r i t y.
Paul Lewis, defending, said he committed burglar-ies because of his long standing drug addiction. Hehad stopped offending between 2007 to 2013 andthen a four year gap before these last offences.
He had been successfully rehabilitated and in thelast period he was off drugs.
However his doctor took him off anti depressantsbecause they did not agree with him and put him onDiazapam which unfortunately “was only a shortdistance” from the drugs to which he had beenaddicted.
“He is capable of turning his life around. It hastaken him the best part of four and a half decades todo so but better late than never,” said Mr Lewis.

7,000 fish rescued aftercanal culvert collapseMORE than 7,000 fish have been rescuedfollowing the collapse culvert beneath theLeeds & Liverpool Canal at Melling.
The incident, as reported in the Cham-pion last week, happened the evening ofTuesday, June 12 and caused water to flowout of a stretch of the canal into nearbyfields.
It left narrowboats marooned and thou-sands of fish left struggling to survive inthe little water that was left in the canal orin overflow pools that had formed in thefields.
Engineers from the Canal & River Trustcharity worked into the early hours ofWednesday morning assisting emergencyservices to stop water flowing out of thecanal.
The Trust then organised a fish rescueover three days retrieving fish from thecanal but also some that had been washedinto the nearby field.
More than 7,000 fish, including: bream,carp, pike, roach, and some eels, weighinga total of 1,100lb, were safely put backinto the canal away from the drained sec-tion .
The canal is currently closed to boatsfrom Holmes Swing Bridge into Liverpool.
Engineers from the Trust are nowinstalling more permanent dams at Spen-cer ’s Lane bridge and Holmes Swing
Bridge to enable them to investigate thecause of the collapse and determine a pro-gramme of works to fix the canal.
Canal & River Trust project managerRichard Spencer, said: “We ’ve been work-ing hard to stop the flow of the water andinstalling more permanent dams.
“Due to the remote location, we havebeen working with local landowners toenable us to gain access with ourmachinery so we can fully understand thecause of the collapsed pipe and plan a pro-gramme of repairs.”
Steve Bergquist, customer operationsmanager at the Canal & River Trust added:“I’d like to thank the emergency servicesthat helped, working together we man-aged to stop the flow of water quickly.
“We ’ve been working with the affectedboaters to keep them updated and offerany help we can but they have been verysupportive and we’re really grateful.
“The Leeds & Liverpool is a wonderfulplace for local people to walk and cycleand to escape too, so we’re doing all wecan to get it fixed as quickly as possible.”
Canal & River Trust workers rescued fish which were left in shallow water.

From page 1The description on
the website states:“The former publichouse will create upto three retail units, inaddition there is theability to create a fur-ther drive-thru unit of1,500 sq ft withvehicle access fromboth Copy Lane andOrmskirk Road. Newleases are availablefor a term to bea g re e d . ”
Last year the formerOld Roan pub wassold by EnterpriseInns, with a view to itbeing turned into amix of retail units andapartments.
Commercial Realitythen submitted aplanning applicationto Sefton Council tocreate three shops onthe ground floor withfour one-bed apart-ments above.However, this wasthen withdrawn.
The pub was closeddown in 2013 at therequest of MerseysidePolice after a massbrawl which saw six
people arrested.A petition was then
set up opposing theclosure stating that itwas a communityvenue and cham-pioned the localmusic scene.
Some nearby resid-ents, however,welcomed the closureas they claimed noisefrom the venue late atnight affected theirquality of life, andthat it was a centre fordisturbances.
For the last fewyears, it has beenboarded up withmetal shutters placedacross the windows.
Meanwhile, one res-ident believes therecould be a covenantplaced on the build-ing, meaning it can'tbe altered or changedfor another use.
The Champion askedSefton Council aboutthis possibility, butthey said they wereunaware of any cov-enant and if there is,it would be registeredwith the LandRe g i s t r y.

“There is still some work to do and we haveplans to further expand the displays.
“The project will be a massive boost to ourwork in commemorating the home town of theworld’s greatest toymaker,
“If anyone out there has anything associatedwith Meccano, Hornby, Hornby Dublo or Dinkythen please consider lending or giving it to us sothat we can share it with everyone.

Maghull North will bring great benefits - MPFrom page 1
The new station is located just off School Lanenext to the former Ashworth Hospital site, betweenthe existing Maghull and Town Green stations onthe Ormskirk branch of Merseyrail's Northern Line.Operated by Merseyrail, it is the 68th station ontheir network.
Work began on the scheme in September 2017,with Network Rail and contractor BuckinghamGroup constructing the station on behalf of Mer-seytravel. The first service departed at 5:58am onMonday, June 18.
The £13m scheme has been funded through theGovernment's Local Growth Fund, Merseytravel anda contribution from the Homes and CommunitiesAssociation, which previously owned the land onwhich the station will be built.
Bill Esterson, MP for Sefton Central, said: “It isexcellent news for residents in Maghull and Lydiatethat the station has opened and I am sure it willbring great benefits to the people living here.
“It will also be very important as hundreds of newhomes are planned nearby. The additional car park-ing will help and the extra station will take somepressure of the existing station in Maghull. This is avital part of infrastructure development that willboost economic growth and is good news for pas-sengers.”
Andy Heath, managing director at Merseyrailsaid: “Maghull North is a welcome new addition tothe Merseyrail network, providing improved accessto local rail services for the residents of Maghull.”
Cllr Ian Maher, leader of Sefton Council, added:“The new station acts as a key piece of infrastruc-ture in our Local Plan giving our towns and valuedcommunities sufficient support to grow. It also con-nects the local area through the development of alocal transport hub with facilities for buses, cyclingand park & ride.
“Not only will the new station boost the local eco-nomy but it will further improve public transportcapacity and connectivity across Sefton and the CityRegion .”
It’s been a ‘long timecoming’ says Lynn, 86
THE NEW Maghull Northrailway station has been a verylong time coming, says oneMaghull resident.
The first rail service for the newMaghull North railway stationleft for Liverpool Central onMonday, June 18.
Champion reader Lynn Blun-dell, 86, says that she remembersher father telling her about plansto build a station on the sitewhen she was just six years old.
Arthur Blundell originallyworked for the railways in South-
port before moving to Aintree in1937.
Lynne said: “When he movedhe used to say they are going tobuild a new station. He said itwould be exactly where it is now.In all the reading I have doneabout this new station, it’s likeit’s all a new thing, but I know for
a fact that it is not. It has taken ahell of a long time but I ampleased that it has finallyarrived.”
A spokesperson for Mer-seytravel said: “How wonderfulthat this lady has rememberedand has been able to see the newstation come to life.”

WOULDN’T it be fantastic tonever have to worry about adenture moving or slippingever again?
To have the confi dence tochoose anything off themenu and be able to laugh,sing and speak in publicwithout that subconscious
fear that your denture will letyou down at the worstpossible moment?
Dr Marius McGovern,clinical director at LiverpoolImplant and AestheticDental Spa, is passionateabout ending denturesuffering by using implants
to provide same-day teeth.He said: “Having missing
teeth can have a social andfunctional impact, but hereat Liverpool Implant andAesthetic Dental Spa we aimto address this for ourpatients by providingsame-day fi xed teeth.”
“Many people are nowaware that dental implantscan replace single missingteeth in a highly successful,attractive and long-lastingway.”
“However, the advancementin dental implanttechniques allows replacementof all missing teeth andfull dentures with All-on-4 ina single day!”
The All-on-4 system issimilar to many other dentalimplant systems; the maindifference is that only fourimplants are required,cutting down the amount ofsurgery needed to fi t themand the number of screws tohold the teeth in place.The All-on-4 systemprovides a secure base for a full arch of lower or upper teeth.
Dr McGovern continued:“With dental implants the
roots of your missing teethare replaced with thehighly-specialised titaniumcylinder which actuallyintegrates with your boneand becomes a part of you!“The pressure of biting onfood is transferred throughthe implant into your jaw,just like with your own teeth.Multiple implants are placedto distribute the biting forceand allow almost naturalfunction.”
“At Liverpool Implant andAesthetic Dental Spa ourhighly experienced team ofdental surgeons are delightedto offer you a comprehensiveconsultation to discussyour dental issues anddevelop a customisedtreatment plan, just for you.”
“The team are so excitedabout this rapidly-evolvingfi eld of advanced dentistryand see dental implants as away to change people’s livesfor the better.”• For more details call 0151 236 8280, visit www.liverpoolimplants.co.uk, or drop into Liverpool Implant& Aesthetic Dental Spa atBrunswick Street, Liverpool,L2 0PJ.

Gunman ‘intended to kill’ in daytime attack
A COURT has heard how two men were shotafter a gunman chased one of them throughSouthport town centre and blasted him in thehead.
Jamie Bridge, from Aintree, launched the attacklast December when the town was “thronged withvehicles and pedestrians, shoppers, going abouttheir last-minute Christmas shopping,” said HenryRiding, prosecuting.
22-year-old Bridge denies the attempted murderof Christopher Jopson but has admitted woundinghim with intent to do grievous bodily harm.
A jury at Liverpool Crown Court heard onMonday, June 25,that he has also pleaded guilty towounding nearby bus driver Lee Armstrong andpossessing a firearm with intent to cause fear ofviolence and with intent to endanger life.
Mr Riding told the court that Bridge, of Wyresdale
Road, chased the victim through the town centre at12.30 pm on 21 December while carrying a double-barrel sawn-off shotgun.
“As he did so he took out a double barrelled sawnoff shotgun, took aim at Mr Jopson and fired theshotgun once at him as he fled.
“There were numerous witnesses to the incidentand one of them, Mr Gibbons, was of the view thatthe defendant “took aim” before he fired at Mr Jop-son. Another, a 15-year-old girl who witnessed theincident... formed the view that Mr Bridge ‘pointed[the gun] at the upper back or head’ of Mr Jopson.
“If he was aiming at the upper back or head, MrBridge succeeded because Mr Jopson was indeedshot in the back of the head; but, although some ofthe shot from the cartridge peppered the back of hishead, he wasn’t that seriously injured and was dis-charged from hospital that day.”
Mr Riding said, “However, Mr Jopson wasn’t MrBridge’s only victim because a bus driver, Mr Arm-strong, who was waiting at a nearby bus stop totake over a bus from another driver so as to begin
his work shift, was also hit in the back of the headand shoulder and wounded by the shot fired fromthe shotgun, although mercifully, not being in thedirect line of fire perhaps, he wasn’t seriouslyinjured either.”
Bridge was dressed all in black and had his hoodpulled up and some type of covering obscuring hisfacial features but unfortunately for him his jackethad distinctive logos and the bike he arrived on inEastbank Street had very distinctive green handle-bars.
Mr Riding said, “Unfortunately for him and hisplan to get away with it, the police combed theentire town centre of Southport for all the availableCCTV footage they could find, then trawledthrough it all piecing the movements of the gun-man together until they found footage of himwheeling his bike onto the forecourt and going intothe shop at Morrisons petrol station on VictoriaWay about an hour before the shooting. At thattime he hadn’t concealed his face and a policeofficer who had interviewed him previously wasable to identify the defendant as the gunman.”
Mr Riding said that faced with that evidenceBridge had pleaded guilty to four of the charges.Explaining the attempted murder charge he said:“The Crown say chasing after a man no doubt flee-ing for his life, blasting him in the back of the headfrom a distance of no less than 10m is about asgood evidence as you can get of intention to kill.”
Some of Bridge’s movements in the town werecaptured on CCTV and Mr Riding said they showedhim taking out his firearm and running down East-bank Street towards Lord Street. This was becausehis intended victim had just come out of the Bet-Fred bookies on the other side of Eastbank Street.
He came out of the bookmakers and turned left togo down Eastbank Street towards the Wellington,but on seeing Bridge, realised he was pulling out ashotgun. Mr Riding says he turned and “fled for hislife”.
Mr Jopson ran towards Lord Street and ChapelStreet. Bridge fired his shotgun once, peppering MrJopson in the back of the head and catching theunfortunate Mr Armstrong. Afterwards, Bridgeturned and fled.
The time between Bridge running after his vic-
tim, then running back the way he came, wasprecisely 10 seconds. “That’s all it took to chaseafter and shoot Mr Jopson,” he said.
In his witness statement, Mr Jopson said he hadcome out of the Betfred shop when he saw a manundoing his jacket and getting out a shotgun.
He said: "I thought the gun was fake but that I'dbetter run in case it wasn't."
Mr Riding said Bridge was arrested on January 4and completely denied any involvement in theincident. However he was re-interviewed on Janu-ary 12 when all the CCTV had been examined butmaintained it had nothing to do with him. The trialis expected to last three days. The case continues.

Plaques unveiled forpolice officers whodied in First World WarC O M M E M O R AT I V E plaques inmemory of 160 police officerswho died in the First World Warhave been put on display.
They have been placed alongthe railings of Merseyside Policeheadquarters, on Canning Place,complemented by the poppiesplanted by school childrenearlier this year.
Within the first few months ofthe First World War almost 600city policemen had signed up foractive service overseas withofficers from Birkenhead, South-port and St Helens Borough.Over the four years of war,13,726 servicemen died from theMerseyside area with 160 policeofficers losing their lives.
Emma Jones, service improve-ments manager at MerseysidePolice, came up with the idea tocommemorate the officers whodied. She said: “This is thesecond event we are holding tocommemorate those officers whosacrificed their lives in the FirstWorld War. It’s fantastic to beable to meet and speak with therelatives of those brave officerswho not only served the publiclocally but also served theircountr y.
“It’s great to hear their storiesand I hope more families will seewhat we’re doing and get intouch with us, as they would bewelcome to join us later in theyear for our church service.”
Merseyside’s Police Commis-sioner Jane Kennedy said: “I amhonoured to be able to supportthe events Merseyside Police arehosting throughout the year tomark the centenary of World WarOne and commemorate the 160police officers who were amongthe 13,000 servicemen fromMerseyside who were killed.
“It is an opportunity to pay myrespects to those who servedtheir country and made the ulti-mate sacrifice.”

PICTURE of the week
Grassroots football is important andshould be supported by everyoneI would like to reply to the recent letter writer whostated how glad he was that a junior football teamwill no longer be allowed to play on a school play-ing field.
It beggars belief that parents of young footballersare wholly responsible for the layout of Sandy Lane,Lydiate and have turned it into a blind corner.
These children are there one evening a week andSaturday morning.
Does the letter writer believe the school shouldclose every day of the week?
There are far more cars there every weekdaymorning and afternoon on the normal school run.
During football times, yes there are cars there butevery one of them is parked legally and not in con-travention of any road markings.
It seems he has tried through his MP previously to
get some sort of road markings in place and failed.Nothing has also been mentioned how the school
asked the football club to start parking on SandyLane and using the double gates instead of thesingle pedestrian gate on Lambshear Lane.
For him to be ‘glad’ that over 150 children nowhave no place to enjoy football, maintain a healthylifestyle and even get them off the scourge of mod-ern society, their electronic games, shows why ourcountry is going the way it is.
Come along and watch the kids play football,maybe you’ll enjoy it.
Grassroots football is important and should besupported by everyone.
Name supplied,Lydiate
Children shouldn’t be taught thatwar is an exciting form of recreationRe: Military School encouraging young peopleto attend cadet camps.
Like the member of Merseyside Peace Net-work, I strongly object to the military’sinfiltration of our local primary and secondaryschools.
I object to our children being taught that waris a form of exciting recreation or that joiningup will provide adventure, comradeship andthe chance to prove themselves in ‘honourablecombat.’
Our children are being sold a lie - honour andpersonal bravery have very little to do with thereality of modern warfare.
‘Keeping the Peace’ in the 21st century, is aeuphemism for delivering death and destruc-tion to overwhelmingly civilian populations ofcities in the developing world.
It is a largely technological and, with theadvent of unmanned drones, increasinglyimpersonal process.
The harsh truth is that recruitment anddeployment of young soldiers is becomingincreasingly strategically irrelevant except as apatriotic cloak to mask the obscenity of indus-trial warfare.
By allowing the armed forces to bang therecruiting drum in our schools, we are collud-ing in a lie, and one that, too often ends withour young men being blown up in the dustystreets of hostile cities among people aboutwhom they know almost nothing.
Peter Wilson,Cro s b y
Drunks and beggarsput shoppers offgoing to the StrandWhen are Sefton Council and the police going todo something about the alcoholics and drug userswho sit outside the post office at the Strand shop-ping centre in Bootle.
Almost every time I go there they are arguing ortrying to beg for money or cigarettes off you.
The sooner the authorities start bringing in thefixed penalties for these people the sooner theywill move on and leave the shoppers alone.
There are already videos on social media of twowomen fighting by the bus stops drunk.
It puts people off going there shopping and if thetrend continues it will just encourage them togrow in numbers.

Other areas not as wellmaintained as MaghullRe: Letter in June 6 edition entitled ‘Shameful How SwitchIsland is so Scruffy.’
I have worked in Maghull for nearly ten years.At least every two to three weeks there are lanes of the dual
carriageway from just after Switch Island up to Lydiate,which are closed off in both directions due to maintenance ofthe trees, grass, central reservation and clearing of the path-ways.
Once you get to Switch Island or Brooms Cross Road travel-ling towards Bootle, and Netherton it all ceases.
The central reservations are overgrown as well as the path-ways and from Switch Island nothing gets touched.
All of these areas are under Sefton so why don’t Netherton,Litherland, Bootle and Seaforth get the same respect andmaintenance as Maghull does?

Disgrace for councilto spend more moneyon shopping centreRe: Money that Sefton Council is planning onspending on Bootle Strand.
I think this is an utter disgrace.Not only are the roads a disgrace but we have
a antiquated health centre that is not fit forpurpose.
Surley it's time that money was spent inMaghull rather than Bootle and Southport.
I am sure I am not the only person inMaghull that feels this way regarding thisissue.

Sadistic people who shootbirds need to be caughtWith regard to a recent letter in theChampion Newspaper about the hor-rific shooting of wild birds on theLeeds Liverpool canal - Melling to Ain-tree stretch by two young men.
In answer to the writer’s questionwild birds and their nests includingswans, mallards and other wildfowlare protected by The Wildlife andCountryside Act 1981 which states itis an offence to intentionally kill,injure or take any wild bird or to take,damage or destroy its nest, eggs oryoung.
He must report it to the police on101 and also alert the RSPB investiga-tions section on 01767 680551 whostate on their website if you witness a
bird crime or suspected offenceagainst birds you should contact themi m m e d i a t e l y.
The public play a major role in thefight against this type of cruelty.
It is heartbreaking to hear of suchdespicable behaviour towards thesedefenceless birds and the sadistic mor-ons responsible need to be caught andprosecuted with a punishment that fitsthe crime.
Shooting air rifles on a canal bank isalso putting children and passers-by atrisk.

I don’t want dogsjumping at me whenI’m on the beach!Re: Letter supporting dog walkers on Crosby beach.
It doesn’t mention in the letter that not every-one likes dogs.
Some of us don’t want them running up tothem, or barking at them and even jumping upat them when they’re walking on the beachminding their own business.
The dog owners are often either nowhere to beseen or away from the dog shouting ‘it’s okaythe dog is friendly.’
Friendly or not I don’t want the dogs runningaround me, it’s really as simple as that, andunless every dog owner has full control of theirdog off the lead this is always going to keephappening.

Merseyrail oneof top threeoperators forpassengersatisfactionMERSEYRAIL has been ranked bythe National Rail Passenger Surveyas one of the top three operators inthe country for having the mostsatisfied passengers.
The rail provider had a 92% “satis-faction score” in the spring 2018National Rail Passenger Survey, whichis 10% higher than the average of82% for other regional operators.
Merseyrail out-performed otherregional operators in 33 of 41 factorsand came second of all operators forboth value for money and the experi-ence passengers had at stations.
It also improved on 18 factors com-pared to the autumn 2017 surveyincluding ticket buying facilities,overall environment and availabilityof both staff and Wi-Fi.
Merseyrail achieved high scores forsome key customer service measure-ments including 93% for the way inwhich station staff handle passengerrequests and 92% for the provision ofinformation about train times.
Andy Heath, managing director atMerseyrail said: “The results of thissurvey show that Merseyrail still hassome of the most satisfied passengersin the country, which is no easyachievement when we’re workingwith 40 year old trains.
“Our network is unique in how itruns, but to out-perform otherregional and national operators so sig-nificantly is a real testament to thecommitment Merseyrail has toprovide the best possible service, in allcircumstances, to our passengers.
“Whether that’s our teams whoworked through the night to keeptrains running during the freezingconditions earlier this year, the reli-able 12 hour service that we haveensured we provide on any days ofindustrial action or the extra effortthat we make to support local eventswith enhanced services.
“There are factors in this survey thatwe will certainly look to increase ourscores on by making improvementswhere possible.
“Merseyrail has a range of develop-ments taking place over the next fewyears, in partnership with Mer-seytravel, including delivering smartticketing and the new fleet of trains,arriving in 2020, which we hope willcontinue to improve the experiencefor our passengers.”
Merseyrail has welcomed the results

matic experience, it is only right they getthe best possible care and support to helpthem on the road to recovery.
“These are still early days in the com-missioning of local support services forvictims, so it is right that I keep this underreview to make sure we are deliveringwhat is needed. Crime too is constantlyevolving, so I want to make sure we aremeeting the needs of victims today, andin the future. That’s why, last year I tookthe decision to fully review the VictimCare Merseyside service to make sure itstill fits the bill and whether anyimprovements could be made.

New cancerservice aims tosupport LGBTcommunityA NEW project to improve services and support forpeople in the LGBT community who are affected bycancer has been launched on Merseyside.
The Macmillan LGBT Cancer Project aims toensure that the needs of LGBT people affected bycancer in the Liverpool City Region are acknow-ledged and addressed in the provision of services,information and support.
A key part of the project, which is funded by Mac-millan Cancer Support and hosted by Sahir House,is the Merseyside LGBT Health Survey 2018, whichwill help the team build a picture of the health ofLGBT people, and identify where any gaps are, andtailor resources and services to meet the specificneeds of LGBT communities across the region.
Richard Hunt, Partnership Manager at Macmil-lan Cancer Support said: “LGBT people withcancer can often face disadvantage, inequalityand discrimination. That’s why we have set up theMacmillan LGBT Cancer Project, and launched theMerseyside LGBT Health Survey, to get a greaterunderstanding of the health of LGBT peopleacross Merseyside.
“If you are an LGBT person affected by cancer, orhave cared for someone from the LGBT communitywho has experienced cancer, then we want to hearfrom you. We currently have a national picture ofthe challenges faced by the LGBT community,when they are affected by cancer, but not a localone. We need to understand the issues and experi-ences faced by the LGBT community acrossMerseyside, so we can work together to tackleinequalities, address any unmet needs and bridgeany gaps in service provision, and to help improveoutcomes for people affected by cancer.”

Gareth to swim Scottishlake for community cinema
A SWIMMER wants to raisemore than £1,000 for thePlaza Cinema by bravingLoch Lomand in Scotland.
Gareth Williams will swimThe Trossachs National Parklake by starting in Inversnaidand finishing in Inveruglas,which is around 1.5miles.
He has done this twice beforefor different charities, butwanted to do it for a third timeto support the Waterloo-basedPlaza to “give something back”after spending time volunteer-ing at the cinema when he wasy o u n g e r.
He said: “For the last twoyears I have swam across LochLomond from Inversnaid toInveruglas which is a distanceof approximately 1.5 miles fortwo different charities.
“This year I have decided toundertake the swim onceagain in aid of the Plaza Com-munity Cinema.
“For the last 20 years, myparent's company, CrosbyIntruder Alarms, has suppor-ted the Plaza by providingthem with installation, serviceand maintenance on theirsecurity alarm systems, CCTVsystem and fire alarm and haverecently upgraded the CCTVsystem at both the Plaza Shopand Cinema and installed abrand new fire alarm at the
cinema, all at cost price.“Having completed volunteer
work many years ago at thePlaza for my Duke of Edin-burgh Award, I thought it wasabout time I gave themsomething back and decidedthat I would support a morelocal charity that is an import-ant community asset forWaterloo, Crosby and sur-rounding areas.
“I enjoy swimming, it hasbeen a hobby of mine from ayoung age and I have been aregular visitor to Loch Lomondfor as long as I can remember;I still go there for family holi-days now and enjoy going outon my boats and jet ski.”
Jonathan Lines, the Volun-teer coordinator at the Plaza,said: “Despite being a charitysince we opened in 1996 somemembers of the communityare surprised that we are stillrun predominantly by volun-teers.
“Its great Gareth has chosento bring attention to that factand is inspiring others to getinvolved.
“Without the support of thecommunity we wouldn’t beable to offer the services wed o.
“So it’s really important forthe people to get behindGareth and show him all yoursupport on this gruelling chal-lenge.
“I ask everyone who can todonate and spread the word to
friends, family and strangersalike. Together we can con-tinue to make a difference inthe community and add valu-able resources to improveservices for everyone.”

Care workerstole £3,000from elderlydisabledwoman tofeed hergamblingaddiction
A CARE worker from Walton repeatedly stolefrom a 79-year-old disabled woman to fund heron-line gambling addiction - and left her penni-less and reliant on food banks, a court heard.
The vulnerable victim, who has various healthissues, only found out that Nicola Bartlett had emp-tied her bank account when she was taken out byanother carer to buy food and her bank card wasre j e c t e d .
When she then went to the bank she discoveredthat a total of £3,270 had been stolen over the pre-vious five months in 174 transactions.
As a result of the fraud the bank froze the victim’saccount for eight weeks which meant her directdebits including her electricity bill were not met andshe was unable to charge her electric wheelchair.
Chris Taylor, prosecuting, told Liverpool CrownCourt that until matters were resolved her carershad to push her wheelchair around and debt agen-cies were chasing her about the unpaid bills.
She also did not have the funds to pay for itemssuch as the hairdresser and cleaners and had to relyon food banks.
Bartlett had set up an on-line gambling account inthe victim’s name after tricking her into signing anauthority but at one stage in the application hadgiven her own details.
The defendant was one of the carers who came toher Anfield home four times a day to help thewoman, described as “vulnerable and socially isol-ated.”
Her offending came to light on January 2 this yearand when arrested and interviewed she made fulland frank admissions, said Mr Taylor.
Bartlett, 31, of Carnarvon Road, Walton, pleadedguilty to fraud and was sentenced to eight monthsimprisonment suspended for two years, ordered tocarry out 150 hours unpaid work and up to 30 daysrehabilitation activities.
Sentencing her the judge, Recorder Timothy Han-nam, QC, said that he had to consider the effect ofthe sentence on her family and the only reason hewas suspending the sentence was because of herchildren .
Osman Munir, defending, said that Bartlett, whohas no previous convictions, has two children, onejust a toddler.
She has taken steps to address her gamblingaddiction and is eight steps into a 12 step recoveryprogramme, he said.

This young woman has penneda book about what it is like tolive with a rare brain disorder
A WOMAN from Crosby who has arare brain disorder has published abook to raise awareness about hercondition.
Georgina Peterson, 25, was dia-gnosed with Periventricular NodularHeterotopia eight years ago, whichcauses severe epilepsy and has led toher suffering anxiety and depression.
Despite her health problems, Georginawent on to graduate from Edge Hill Uni-versity with an English Literature degreeand she decided to use her writing talentsto pen a book about her daily struggleswith the condition.
The book is called ‘Freaks Like Me’, andwas given its name after a stranger madea remark about Georgina, is being pub-lished by Austin Macauley Publishers andhas a release date of Friday, June 29.
The former Chesterfield High Schoolpupil explained to the Champion how hercondition affects her: “Seizures are themain way in which my disorder affects me.
“I have both tonic-clonic seizures, andalso complex-partial seizures, more com-monly known as absent seizures.
“I never have a warning beforehand, foreither type of seizure, which is why I need
somebody with me all of the time. Theseizures can put me in danger, and theystill scare me sometimes, but we dealwith it as well as we can.
“But when it happens it always makesme feel embarrassed, no matter howmuch people tell me it’s nothing to bebothered about.
“There are also side effects to my medic-ations but the exhaustion and headachesare the recurrent problem.
“There are many ways my disorderaffects my life. I don’t have any independ-ence. I can’t learn to drive. I can’t drinkalcohol, which sometimes makes mesound like I’m not a ‘f u n’ person .
“I couldn’t get a ‘normal’ job, or evenstay in voluntary work, primarily becauseof how uncontrolled my condition is.
“Though I try my hardest, I still live infear of my seizures. It’s kind of like living
on egg shells, waiting for the next timeit’s going to happen, as it inevitably will.
“There are quite a lot of implications formy future too. I also struggle hugely withmy mental health, specifically clinicaldepression and anxiety, which is not alldown to my disorder – there are other
reasons too – but it certainlyd o e s n’t help!”
Georgina explains how hermum encouraged her to writea book, but she was hesitantat first.
She said: “Writing the bookwas tough, cathartic, upset-ting, peaceful at times.
“I originally began writingthings down to help myself
o n l y.“I was in intensive therapy for depres-
sion and anxiety, and found that writingthings down was incredibly helpful to me.
“I’d always written stories as a child,and love to use my creativity in that way,but I’d lost it somewhere along the way.
“Slowly, I started to piece all the hand-written notes and typed documentstogether and it became a book, and I star-ted to think that this could actually helpsomebody else.
“This could have helped the newly-dia-gnosed, petrified 18-year-old I used to be,when everything changed overnight.”
Georgina will be holding a private booklaunch at Crosby Lakeside on Friday,August 24, with proceeds raised from theevent going to charities MIND and TheWalton Centre.
She is looking for individuals and busi-nesses to donate prizes for a raffle. Tocontribute, contact 07517 802 731

A littletolerancecan go along wayA COUPLE of weeks ago I wrote a story for the Aintreeand Maghull edition of the Champion about MaghullTown Council’s plans for their annual fireworks dis-play this year.
The main theme of this was that this year’s displaywill be ‘bigger, better and safer’ highly laudable forsure - but it got me thinking back to Maghull’s fire-work displays of yore, and how our attitudes to safetyand possible risk taking have changed in not verymany years.
Maghull’s annual display is well known throughoutSefton (and indeed beyond) as being one of the best -and certainly the best value - of any even vaguelycomparable displays in the area.
But only a very few years ago, though the displayitself was ofcourse in theexpert hands ofp ro f e s s i o n a l s ,the marshallingof spectatorswas by volun-teer towncouncillors andparks and gar-dens staff withthe local policeofficer and perhaps a couple of PCSOs to mingle withthem.
Indeed, the council once also had a very popularbonfire - which was only abolished because the firebrigade was really too busy on Bonfire Night to ensureit had been sufficiently damped down to be safe.
Now I note that there will be 30 professional stew-ards at this year’s display along with “a dedicatedpolice presence.”
Now don’t misunderstand me - I am not criticisingthe Town Council for going to these lengths.
Quite apart from a different health and safetyregime the attitude of visitors themselves haschanged too.
Now as far as I know, no serious incident has everoccurred at a Maghull firework display.
The fact these days though is that should there be anaccident of any kind, the first instinct is to findsomeone to blame, and quite possibly sue them.
At the same time, organisers have changed theirattitudes too, and the safety culture has become der i g u e u r.
Whatever, it has to be somebody’s fault - and thatsomebody is somehow never ‘me.’
I’ve mentioned before about my mum’s annoyinghabit of telling a young Jim when something hadgone awry: “It's your own fault!”
As of course it usually was - if only one of personalc a re l e s s n e s s .
Try telling that to the victim of any accident thesedays.
I honestly think that, just occasionally, you shouldadmit that whatever happened was at least to adegree the result of your own lack of judgement or,that it probably was the fault of somebody else, butwhoever it was quite obviously couldn't realise whatwould occur.
And no, I'm not saying you should not claim if youreceive serious injury to self or property, just that alittle tolerance can often go a long way and stop whatwas a trivial incident spoiling an event or perhaps agood friendship.
Just possibly a dose of ‘pick yourself up, dust your-self down’ and laugh whatever off might be a farbetter policy than demanding an inquiry with theidea of a cash payment at the end.
To be fair, if my experience of recent large-scaleactivities organised by Maghull Town Council isrepeated, the presence of professional stewards andpolice will not mar the event for us ordinary mortalsin the least - though the probable expense in thesestraightened times is food for thought.
Needs must when the devil drives though, and I sin-cerely wish the council well in its efforts to bring uswhat should be a wonderful spectacle and a thor-oughly enjoyable evening.
A far cry from the wonderfully dangerous but mar-velously exciting bonfire night we used to have in ourback garden when I was a nipper but probably betterby far for a couple of generations brought up toexpect (and indeed told to do so) everything to bedone for them and handed to them on a plate alongwith the parkin and cups of warming drinks.

Residents left in thedark over rat-runRESIDENTS in Thornton claim they have beenleft in the dark by Sefton Council over theirplans to remove the controversial cordon placedon Edgemoor Drive.
The proposal was first revealed by the localauthority in January, who said the measure wouldbe a three-month trial to see how it would work.
The residential street is described by many as a“r a t - r u n”, with motorists using it to try and by-passtraffic on the busy Moor Lane.
Locals who live on and near Edgemoor Drive saythe cordon should have been removed by now -and they are now calling on Sefton Council to make
an announcement. However, the council remainedtight-lipped when pressed by the Champion.
A spokesperson said: "Further discussions withManor Ward councillors, our Cabinet Member forLocality Services and local residents have takenplace regarding the road closure on EdgemoorDrive.
“A report on the matter will be published shortly."Ever since the cordon appeared it has split opin-
ion, with some arguing that it has led to Moor Lanebecoming grid-locked at peak times, while othershave claimed that it has actually helped improvethe traffic flow.

TIMELINE
APRIL 1, 1918WHEN AIR POWER CAME OF AGE
The Royal Air Force was formed as a separate
Service, independent of the British Army and
Royal Navy – the fi rst time that any country had
formed an entirely separate and independent
air force. The new Service had its own ministry
under a secretary of state for air. The ‘new’ RAF
was the most powerful air force in the world with
more than 290,000 personnel and nearly 23,000
aircraft, and fought effectively from April 1 1918
over the Western Front in support of ground
forces. General Jan Christian Smuts said of Air
Power: ‘There is absolutely no limit to the scale
of its future independent war use.’
MARCH 5, 1936SPITFIRE: FIGHTER AIRCRAFT SUPREMEThe prototype fl ew for the fi rst time on March 5,
1936, although the fi rst Mk I was not delivered
to 19 Squadron at RAF Duxford until August 4, 1938. Designed by Reginald Joseph Mitchell, the Spitfi re became one of the most successful fi ghter aircraft ever built. By September 1939, ten Spitfi re squadrons were operational, and 19 were ready to engage the Luftwaffe during the Battle of Britain. The Spitfi re was championed as the most effective fi ghter during this period. The RAF fl ew its last operational Spitfi re (PR.Mk XIX) sortie over Malaya, on April 1, 1954, reconnoitring rebel positions.
JULY 10, 1940 — OCTOBER 31, 1940BATTLE OF BRITAIN: STRUGGLE FOR SUPREMACYThe Battle of Britain ranks alongside the
Battles of Trafalgar and Waterloo as one of the most signifi cant in British History.
Without the radar scientists; WAAFs and airmen; volunteers of the Royal Observer
Corps; plotters; tellers; and controllers;
telephone engineers; production workers in our
aircraft factories; airfi eld ground crews and the
Commanders, the valour of ‘The Few’ would
not have achieved their mission. The victory
combined organisational mastery, governmental
support, technological innovation, and industrial
capacity with the bravery, commitment and skill of our young pilots.
MAY 6, 1965BIRTH OF THE RED ARROWS
Established March 1 1965, the team’s fi rst offi cial display took place May 6 1965 at RAF
Little Rissington for the press. The fi rst public
air display was staged May 9 at the French Air
Force base at Clermont Ferrand. But the fi rst
air show in the UK was May 15 at the Biggin
Hill International Air Fair, Kent. During the fi rst
season the Reds fl ew 65 displays in Britain and
Europe and was awarded the Britannia Trophy
in recognition of its outstanding contribution to
British prestige in the fi eld of aviation.
FEBRUARY 28, 1991TORNADO HONOURED FOR GULF WAR OPSAn RAF Tornado GR4 has been painted in the iconic Gulf War ‘desert pink’ paint scheme to honour the aircraft type’s almost continuous operational service since the liberation of Kuwait in 1991. The ‘desert pink’ Tornado, number ZG750, is based at RAF Lossiemouth with XV(R) Squadron, and saw active service during Operation Granby, the UK’s codename for the Gulf War. The
aircraft carries 11 battle honours on its tail, including Operation Granby, Telic, Herrick, Ellamy and Shader. This two-seat, day or night, all-weather attack
aircraft has been in service with the RAF since 1979.
JULY 1, 2008MULTI-ROLE TYPHOON FIRST
Typhoon FGR4 became the fi rst RAF fast jet to be declared multi-role
capable. Designed as a swing-role combat aircraft, Typhoon is capable
of completing contrasting tasks in a single sortie. Its optimised airframe,
powerful engines and advanced fl ight control system confer excellent agility
at all speeds. Typhoon aircraft and their pilots, provide Quick Reaction Alert UK air
defence capability around the clock, with a permanent detachment of QRA aircraft
positioned in the Falklands.

ENTERTAINMENTGallery focusingon work of twoinfluential artistsTHE Life in Motion: EgonSchiele/ Francesca Woodmanexhibition can be seen at TateLiverpool until September 23.
Tate Liverpool presents anexhibition that highlights theexpressive nature of the humanbody, seen through the eyes oftwo influential and innovativeartists.
Life in Motion combines thework of radical Austrian expres-sionist Egon Schiele (1890 –1918) and American photo-grapher Francesca Woodman(1958 – 1981), and investigatestheir incredible ability to captureand suggest movement to createdynamic, extraordinary composi-tions.
Working at either end of thetwentieth century, Woodman’sphotographs help to refocus howwe see the work of Schiele, high-lighting how the latter’spractices and ideas continue tohave a relevance to contempor-ary art.
Renowned for their nude por-traits and self-portraits, Schieleand Woodman lay bare their sub-jects’ raw emotional state andphysical tensions in intimate andunapologetic work.
Life in Motion: Egon Schiele/Francesca Woodman sheds newlight on the intensity and passionshared and conveyed by thesetwo artists, whose approacheshave resulted in the portrayal ofcandid moments.
Schiele used quick marks andsharp minimal lines to reflect theanimated energy of his models,while Woodman employed longexposures to create a blurredimage that captures extended yetunsteady moments in time.
The exhibition offers theviewer a close and intimateencounter with these personaland powerful works.
Ten years on from Tate Liver-pool’s acclaimed Gustav Klimt
exhibition, the gallery showcasesthe works of his protégé, Schiele,on the 100th anniversary of hisdeath.
The exhibition offers a rareopportunity to see a large num-ber of his drawings in the Northof England, bringing attention tothe artist’s technical virtuosity,distinctive vision and unflinchingdepictions of the human figure.
One of the most prominentexponents of Austrian expres-sionism, Schiele developed adistinctive and daring style.
Viewed by some as controver-sial, he frequently depictedtortured and emaciated figuresin his drawings. His models areoften in a state of emotional andpsychological flux, posed withcontorted bodies and twistedlimbs.
The exhibition highlights thebreadth of Schiele’s practice,beyond his erotic depictions ofwomen, this includes a numberof self-portraits and also illumin-ates an evolution in his approachto line and colour.
Francesca Woodman was one
of the most innovative photo-graphers of the second half ofthe 20th century.
During her short, but excep-tionally productive career, sheproduced a large number ofstriking, surreal and oftenhumorous photographs.
Woodman worked at the inter-section of performance art,choreography and architecture.Her black and white photo-graphs express a heightenedawareness of her surroundings,interacting or merging with theoften deteriorating space aroundthe artist.
The direct, uncompromisingimages depict the existentialcomplexity of an identity in apermanent state of transition.
The exhibition will includeimages from My House Series,Providence, Rhode Island, 1976and Eel Series, Roma, May 1977– August 1978.
Life in Motion: Egon Schiele/Francesca Woodman is curatedby Marie Nipper, interim artisticdirector, and Tamar Hemmes,assistant curator, Tate Liverpool.

While the Billy Joel Songbook will continue in theautumn, he brings this new show to theatres acrossthe UK in a 15-date tour this July, including St.G e o rg e ’s Hall on Wednesday, July 4.

MOTORSThis can mean only one thing -it’s time to head to Le Mans!
THE FERRY tickets are booked. Aphrase book allowing the orderingof baguettes from service stationsin broken Franglais has beenpurchased. Oh, and a boot’s worthof all the safety-related clobberthat only the French seem to insiston has been ordered.
All of which can only mean onething – it’s time to head off to LeMans. A couple of colleagues and Ihave just serviced a slightly tired-looking Rover 216 Coupe, and thebig plan is to venture down to Ports-mouth and hop on an overnightferry. All of which means we’ll beable to watch Porsches thunderingaround the world’s greatest racetrack barely a day later.
I know what the race fanatics arethinking already – that I’ve got mydates spectacularly wrong, becausethe Le Mans 24 Hours race was acouple of weeks ago. You know, theone where Toyota spectacularlysnatched victory after decades ofn e a r- m i s s e s ?
When effectively Fernando Alonsowas the winner, because youc o u l d n’t remember the names ofanyone else driving the car thatcame first?
Ahhh. Actually the one I’m onabout is the Le Mans Classic, whichi s n’t actually one long race but lots ofshort ones, and is dedicated entirely– as the name suggests – to machinesthat pounded the Mulsanne Straightdecades ago. I love it not onlybecause it involves pretending to gocamping but actually sitting outsideyour tent with a beer watching some
Group C cars doing some nightracing, but because classic Le Mansracers actually look vaguely like nor-mal cars.
Think about it. Toyota will spendthe next year going on about howwinning Le Mans will somehowmake the next generation Auris a bitbetter, but when was the last timeyou saw anything even remotely likeits LMP1 racer on any sort of road?
A Ford GT40, on the other hand,was designed to humiliate Ferrari –which it did four times on the trot –but it still looks like a GT40 a veryrich bloke might drive to the shops.Same with the Jaguar C-type of the1950s, and if you don’t live in aworld of Pathe newsreels, it’s worthremembering that the McLaren F1that won in 1995 was based on aroad car. The world’s fastest andmost expensive road car, of course,but one that genuinely had as muchluggage space as a contemporaryFi e s t a .
Maybe it’s time they revisited therules at Le Mans to make the racers ateeny bit more relatable to normalpeople who aren’t Fernando Alonso –if it can’t be driven legally through,say, Crosby on a Friday night, then ita i n’t going to Le Mans. It mightmean the cars don’t look as bonkers,but it’d give hope to the rest of usthat we might see cars vaguely like itbringing joy to people stuck in Volk-swagen Passats.
Or just drive to France in a second-hand Rover and look at some oldones.
You know it makes sense.
Ford won Le Mans four times in the 1960s - a time when you could buy one for the road too
