The Champion • Wednesday 17 April 2013Community servicefor teenager who soldfake concert ticketsBy Court ReporterA YOUNG man who set up fakeFacebook accounts to sellnon–existent Creamfields tickets hasbeen given community service.Dale Tully, 19, of Fern Hey, Crosbyhad previously pleaded guilty to fivecharges of fraud at Sefton Magistratesand was sentenced on April 12, whenit emerged that he’d given his ownbank details and phone number tovictims.Lynne Ingman, prosecuting told thecourt that Tully had set up Facebookaccounts in the names of KaleighRobinson and Keira Tully in thesummer of 2011 and advertisedtickets for the upcoming musicfestival.He sold a total of £740 worth oftickets to five different buyers, one ofwhom paid £230.Victims were directed to transfer themoney into Tully’s own NatWest bankaccount. When they contacted him toask where there tickets were, hewould either ignore their calls or saythat the tickets had been sent.After tracing him through his bankdetails police arrested him in January2012 on suspicion of two fraudoffences, and during an interview headmitted three others.Arguments“He said he knew it was wrong andthat he had been stupid”, she said.Pamela O’Brien said in herprobation service report that Tully,who left school at 16 and did an NVQjoinery course at Hugh Baird College,Bootle, had left home to live with hisgrandmother following argumentswith his disabled father. While thereUseful advice on howto avoid falling victimto those online scamsBy Champion ReporterDURING the court proceedingsof Crosby man, Dale Tully,prosecuted for selling fakeCreamfields tickets throughFacebook, his solicitor said hedid it because he could see itwas easy to do.According to website Get SafeOnline–ajointgovernmentand private sector–fundedresource providing practicaladvice on online security – itwould appear that it is indeedeasy to get people to part withtheir cash for that sought–aftermusic festival or concert.When tickets sell out quicklyfor that must–see gig as manyas 1 in 10 people have beencaught out in an online scam.The result is that fans eitherreceive no tickets, get differenttickets to the ones they paid for,or are turned away at the eventfor having fakes.However, as the new festivalseason approaches, musiclovers can avoid thesenightmare scenarios by takingsimple precautions.With as many as 50% of onlinefestival sites being fake, GetSafe Online recommends onlybuying tickets from “the venuebox office, promoter, officialagent or reputable ticketexchange sites.”Just because a ticket–sellingsite advertises itself and looksthe real deal it is not necessarilyauthentic, as Get Safe Onlinewarns: “ cyber criminals willoften pay for search advertising(e.g. Google ad words) so thattheir fake sites appear at the topof event search results. Theyare also known to enlistprofessional web designers sothat their sites appeargenuine.”Also beware: “One methodused by scammers is to targetmusic fan websites and forumsand other social networkingsites.“Posts will be displayed from‘fans’ claiming they havebought tickets from a certainsite, encouraging those not yetsuccessful in obtaining ticketsto visit it.“More consumers are thendriven to the fake site and moregenuine fans fall for the scam.”Other good advice is to onlyuse credit cards wheneverbuying online, as purchasesover £100 mean that the creditcard company has to acceptsome liability.And only ever enter credit carddetails on a secure website. Thewebsite address should always<strong>star</strong>t https, not http, with the sstanding for secure.EnsnaredThere should also be padlocksign in the browser windowframe – which you can click onand find out the server’ssecurity certificate.

It’s just another example ofhis antagonism towards private business.Mr Esterson has form in this regard.His behaviour, together with his littlefriends in the ABetterCrosby group, causedSainsbury’s to withdraw £50million ofinvestment in this community, costing 100+jobs.As I have said before and am happy to keepsaying, profit is good.Private businesses have a legitimateinterest in making profit.Private businesses create jobs; BillEsterson and his useless friends inABetterCrosby destroy them.David Giles,CrosbyI’ll run a bank intothe ground for a£16m pension pot!Two members of theWest Lancs DogDisplay team whoenthralled visitorswhen they featuredas one of theattractions at lastSunday’s Animals inNeed fundraisingevent in Lydiate.Picture by MartynSnapeCode: 1057977.The Government has completely lost touchwith the British people.The Chancellor George Osbourne went toEurope lobbying, but not for a rebate for hardpressed British taxpayers or to enhanceworkers’ rights.At the time RBS posted record losses of£5billion, while simultaneously paying out£600million in bonuses, he was over therelobbying for something that we all care sodeeply about, protecting banker’s bonuses!He was over there trying to stop a newEuropean law which would cap banker’sbonuses to no more than one years pay.The argument he’ll use is that if we cap theirbonuses then London won’t be able to recruitthe brightest and best.I’m going to apply for a job in the City becauseI guarantee I can run a bank into the groundevery bit as quick as Fred Goodwin so long as Iget to keep my £16million pension pot.We need to debate what happensif Scots vote for independenceIn less than two years, we will see the biggestshake in national “who–we–are–ness” whenthe voters of Scotland (only!) are given theright to vote for independence.This appears to be an open ended question(judging by the wording of the ballot) since byinterpretation, a ‘yes’ vote might be seen as avote for Scottish dissolution, not just itsrelationship with the rest of the UK, but alsothat with the EU, Nato and any otherinternational arrangement they are presentlytied into.I wonder what legal position the Scotsgovernment and its people adopt if the twointerpret the results differently?What bothers me more though for us southernBrits, is that there is virtually no publicdiscussion or debate south of the border as towhat sort of post–independence country thepresent UK will become, our national flag, ournationality or even the official name of thecountry, since United Kingdom will clearly nolonger be relevent.Why is our political class simply ignoring theissue?Assuming the Scots will vote ‘no’ is not aviable gameplan and belongs in the long line ofdisasterous political planning that Britishgovernments have mastered throughout ourhistory.As a country all of us have a right to know, notjust those under the banner of St Andrew.Mark Erickson–Rohrer, By emailWrite to the Editor atClare House, 166 Lord Street, Southport PR9 0QAEmaileditorial@champnews.comFollowing on from David Atherton’scomments about wind turbines I think it ispertinent to quote the figures issued by theNational Grid for Monday, February 18 –4,300 of those devices supplied 0.1% of ourelectricity during a cold spell, just when weneed them to deliver what they promise.The same happened during cold snowyweather in the winters of 2009/10 and2010/11.

14 • Visit us @ www.ChampNews.com CMBA The Champion • Wednesday 17 April 2013Hybrid buses offer a fine ride but just don’t have soulI TOOK half a day off this week – well kind of.I went one of those trips which my fellowcolumnist David Simister would have calledworking while enjoying every minute of it.I was sampling the latest in hybrid technologyin buses. For some time I have been tempted tohave a ride on one of the hybrid midi–buses tobe seen these days on the circular routesaround my home town of Maghull.I never have – partly because I have anin–built aversion to riding anywhere inMaghull instead of walking. It might be takenas a sign I was getting old – it might even be thecause of it if I took it up. But partly because Ihave never really accepted these ‘little buses’as being quite pukka – if you see what I mean.Arriva have introduced a fleet of hybriddouble–deckers onto its cross–river routes inLiverpool. So I ventured forth – and took thebus into town rather than the train.I was lucky with that – the bus I got toLiverpool was one of Arriva’s latest full–sizediesel single deckers. Anyway, so it was that Istood at the stop in St Thomas Street andwithin a couple of minutes a shiny new hybrid‘decker going to West Kirby turned up.The first thing you noticed was the total lackof engine noise as you boarded, and the almosteerie ‘sound’ – if that’s the word – of just avery subdued electric whine as it pulled away.Mind you, the small(ish) engine cut in almostimmediately, but with no shudders, and apartfrom an almost imperceptible drop in speedjust at that moment no fuss either.The problem for me thought was that whilethe engine was running it sounded much likeany old diesel bus to me, with the engine doingquite a bit of the work, though admittedly moreeconomically.It was bus stops that rather spoiled the wholething for me though. Without knowingprecisely how a large (12 tonne) hybrid works Ican only presume that depending on the stateof the battery at any given time, the engineeither keeps on ticking over at a stop, or shutsdown altogether.When it did there was a considerable ‘clunk’,rather like someone throwing a very largecircuit breaker – which I suppose it was, really.The bus itself though was quite impressive,with good lighting and heating and ‘real’leather seats. Very swish. Only trouble withthose sets was though that leather though theycertainly were, they also had very thin squabsso that after a 50 minute or so journey I wasactually quite pleased to stand up again andrelieve my backside.I got the electric train back to Liverpool – andon to Maghull. And though Merseyrail trainshave a sound repertoire of their own, at leastthey are quite obviously linked to compressorsetc cutting in and out or the train controller‘notching up’.One thing I never quite got used to on my busride into the future were the odd clicks andwhirrings that punctuated the ride.I was mightily impressed with the big hybrid. Icouldn’t fault its performance (though it hadlittle chance to show any real pace on the openroad).But I’m afraid that, as a bus enthusiast for aslong as I can remember, this vehicle somehowlacked ‘soul’.And I still wonder about any hybrid’s ‘green’credentials given the manufacture of thebatteries – and their eventual disposal.Surgein organdonor ratewelcomedby hospitalReport by David Raven1118259TRUST members at a Liverpool hospital havewelcomed news of a surge in organ donorsuccess rates over the last five years.The Governors and Foundation Trust (FT)members at Aintree University Hospital haveplayed a key role in supporting organdonation, helping to sign up hundreds of newpotential donors.The NHS Blood and Transplant Serviceannounced this week that the number ofpeople donating organs after death has risen50% since 2008.More than 1,200 people in the UK donatedtheir organs in the last year, leading to about3,100 transplantsFT members and Governors at Aintree havebeen key to the work of the hospital’s organdonation committee.They have chaired the hospital’s organdonation committee and have joined specialistteams to run awareness events, as well as usingnewsletters to gain more members for theNational Organ Donor Register.The results have seen hundreds of extra staff,patients and visitors joining the NationalOrgan Donor Register.Pam Peel, a former FT Governor who nowchairs the committee, said: “It’s great thatwe’re seeing so many successful organdonations.

The Champion • Wednesday 17 April 2013Make a will andhelp WoodlandsHospice schemeby Henry JamesWOODLANDS Hospice’s Will Scheme is againrunning this month giving people the chance tohave a standard will prepared in return formaking a donation to the Hospice.Woodlands Hospice in Aintree hold theannual ‘Make a Will Month’ scheme inpartnership with local solicitors andprofessional will writers to encourage thosepeople who haven’t yet made a will to do so.Carole Riley from Woodlands Hospice said:“Making a will is sensible, practical andinexpensive. You can make provision for yourfamily and know that your wishes will becarried out.“No one likes to think of making a will andsurprisingly only three in 10 people actually doso. The absence of formal arrangements cancause a lot of distress to family members at atime when they are already very upset. Ourresearch shows that of those who have made awill few rarely revisit it once it has been writtenand with the increase in property values werecognise that many estates are nowvulnerable to inheritance tax.“A properly organised will ensures that yourassets go to the people you love or to yourpreferred charity rather than to the State, oftenthrough Inheritance Tax. If you choose to makea donation to Woodlands Hospice or indeedany other UK registered charity in your will,that donation will be free from InheritanceTax.”Solicitors participating in the scheme willhelp people by waiving their usual standard feein return for the person making a donation tothe Hospice via the solicitor at the time ofmaking their Will. People are able to makeappointments either at the hospice, at thesolicitors or in their own home to have theirWill prepared.If you have not yet made a will and would liketo take advantage of the scheme contact eitherTracy Barnes on 0151 529 8193 or email:tracy.barnes@aintree.nhs.uk or Nick Morris on0151 529 8152 or email: nick.morris@aintree.nhs.ukCarole added: “A great way of supporting theHospice is to leave us a Gift or Legacy in yourwill, after you have provided for your family.“It doesn’t matter how large or small theamount is, or whether you leave money orbelongings, we are just really grateful for yourGift. If you have already prepared your will butwish Woodlands Hospice to benefit in someway this can easily be added to your initialarrangements.”Keep in touch with the local news and viewson our websitewww.champnews.comCMBAN o 1OPENING TIMESMONDAY TO FRIDAY 9am–5.30pmSATURDAY 9am–5pm • SUNDAY 10am–4pmIN NEW & GRADEDAPPLIANCESVisit us @ www.ChampNews.com • 21Do you suffer from...Fluid Retention, Bloating, or Cellulite?We are the only clinic in the NorthWest offering this NEW treatmentGet real results:• Reduces excess fl uid• Cellulite reduction• Firms & tones• Volume reduction on legs & buttocks• Relaxing & pain free!• Launch offers availableThinning or balding?The proven solution to hair loss...Come to our open daySat 20th AprilWe’ll carry out a freedigital microscopeassessment & we’llthen advise you of thedifference Halo Elitecan make to your hairradiant livinglaser & skin clinic14 Station Rd, Parbold, WN8 7NUwww.radiantliving.co.uk☎01704 229075135/137 FYLDE ROADNEXT TO CORKILLS VW SHOWROOMMARSHSIDE · SOUTHPORTINCLUDING: • BAUMATIC • BELLING • BOSCH • BRITANNIA • CANDY • CANNON • CREDA • HOTPOINT • HOOVER • INDESIT • MIELE • NEFF • NEW WORLD • SIEMENS • RANGEMASTERBEFOREHAIR RESTORATIONAFTER~ After 6 MonthsThe Halo Elite Laser System:• Stops hair loss almostimmediately• Over 95% of patientsexperience re-growth• Increased hair thicknessand density• No surgery, no sideeffects, no pain!Call now for a free trialon either treatment012574634641118282All pictures are for illustrative purposes only and prices are valid for available stock only, subject to being unsold.JVCLT-24HD32J24” HD LED TV & DVDCOMBI £139AVAILABLEFROM FRIDAYJVC LT-42TG30J42” LCD HD TV £249JVCLT-22HD32J2J22” HD LED TV & DVD DCOMBI £129JVCLT- 24HG31J24” HD LED TV£119PANASONICTX-L55ET5B55” SMART VIERA HD LED TV£899SAMSUNGUE50ES630050” SMART 3D, HD, LED TV£799UMC 40” LCD TV£199UMC 32” LCD TV£1791118288

As a result ofthe recession, this kind of discrimination hastaken on even more significance.”The findings by Maxwell Hodge are echoed ina recent study which revealed that one in sevenReport by Holly Rummensmothers lost their job on maternity leave andhalf reported working hours being cut or beingdemoted.Said Heather: “The law states it is illegal todismiss or disadvantage an employee forreasons related to her pregnancy or maternityleave.She added: ”The cases we see are probablythe tip of the iceberg when it comes topregnancy discrimination.

The Champion • Wednesday 17 April 2013Former <strong>Everton</strong> playerthanks Aintree hospitalstaff for saving his lifeReport by David RavenA FORMER <strong>Everton</strong> player whobattled bowel cancer has thanked thestaff from Aintree Hospital who savedhis life.This week Kevin Sheedy, who alsomade several appearances forLiverpool, met surgeon Paul Scaifewho performed the life–savingoperation last year.Now the <strong>Everton</strong> Academy coach hassigned up to an event to raiseawareness of bowel cancer.Focus on Bowel Cancer will provideinformation about the causes,symptoms and treatment options forbowel cancer. Kevin will joinconsultant surgeon, Paul Skaife todiscuss his experiences of bowelcancer.Early diagnosis of this cancer iscrucial to successful treatment andthis event will help guests to betterunderstand this disease and thesupport available.Since successfully battling bowelcancer, Kevin Sheedy has been raisingawareness of the disease, supportingthe Be Clear on Cancer campaign.Kevin, 52, was diagnosed with bowelcancer in July 2012 after exhibitingsymptoms including blood in hisstools and a change in his bowelhabits.He went to see his GP and wasKevin Sheedy and Paul Skaifereferred to Aintree UniversityHospital in Liverpool for further testsand treatment. It is believed that earlydetection of the cancer helped ensureeffective treatment.Currently, more than 570 people diefrom bowel cancer each year inMerseyside and Cheshire, which isabove the national average.Kevin said: “I can’t thank the staff atAintree enough for what they havedone for me – it’s only when you arein that position that you realise whatan incredible job our healthprofessionals do.“I would urge anybody who hasconcerns to go immediately to theirGP. My life has been saved throughearly detection.”CMBAKevin added that while there is ahistory of the illness in his family – hismother died of bowel cancer twoyears ago and his father is currently inremission after an operation sevenyears ago – the diagnosis still came asa shock.He said: “I don’t think you can everprepare yourself for that news. As afootballer I was fit and healthy, had agood diet and never smoked, but Iguess it was in my genes.”Paul Skaife, consultant surgeon atAintree University Hospital, treatedKevin and said: “People can often beembarrassed to talk about their bowelmovements with their GP but it is soimportant to share any concerns youhave. We are all delighted thatKevin’s treatment was effective andthis is in no small part down to the factwe caught the cancer early.“The road to full recovery is a longone and we’ll keep in touch withKevin for the next five years to runtests and ensure the cancer isn’tcoming back.”According to NHS Choices, bowelcancer is the third most common typeof cancer in England and affects morethan 40,000 people each year.

An Englishtranslation from the French was lit up on anoverhead display.Musical on way toLittle TheatreBIRKDALE Orpheus Society isset to return to the SouthportLittle Theatre next month withCarousel.The classic Rodgers andHammerstein musical is anemotional roller–coaster of aride filled with laughter, love,and life told through a thrillingtale of tragedy and triumph.Director of music atCathedral to make firstappearance in townA MUSICAL event will takeplace this Saturday (April 20)when David Poulter, director ofMusic at Liverpool Cathedral,visits Southport to play aconcert of music on the pipeorgan.The event, held in EmmanuelParish Church, CambridgeRoad, is David’s firstappearance in Southport andwill play a programme of musicon Emmanuel’s fine organ,built by Harrison and Harrisonof Durham whose instrumentsare to be heard in WesminsterAbbey, King’s CollegeCambridge and many EnglishCathedrals.David came to Liverpool in2008 having previously servedThe basic themes of love and passion, betrayaland jealousy are what have made this opera alasting success plus, of course, the music withthe famous ‘Toreadors Song’, as always,being the highlight of the show.International mezzo–soprano, NadezdhaStoianoiva, made a seductive Carmen whoentices the soldier, Don Jose (Sorin Lupa), todesert his regiment and leave his childhoodsweetheart, the sweet and virginal Michaela(Ecatrina Danu), only to discard him in favourof the preening bullfighter, Escamillo (IurieGisca).Ellen Kent herself was in Liverpool for theshow and, over a glass of wine at the interval,she told me how she had cut 30 minutes off therunning time, “to keep it faster paced”.“The donkey you have just seen onstage is arescue donkey,” she said, adding that hermother had run a sanctuary for donkeys and, ather shows, she had collected over £30,000 fordonkey sanctuaries.“I have a big house near Canterbury in 15acres with a giant swimming pool. I’m 64 now,perhaps I should retire.”But not quite yet. Already an Autumn tour islined up featuring ‘Aida’, ‘La Boheme’ and‘Nabucco’.

I absolutely loved the UKtour. Thank you to all audiences for giving ussuch great concerts,” he said.The maestro praised the British audience fortheir enthusiasm and added: “My Orchestraand I had a great time in December, weabsolutely loved the UK tour.“Maybe it’s a bit odd to say, but in othercountries you often hear that British people arerestrained or not very emotional. But in fact,we experienced the complete opposite on ourtour! The British audience gave us such a warmwelcome... we are all really looking forward tocoming back!”According to Rieu it all has to do with themusic – particularly the Waltz: “Every nightwhen I play around the whole world, I see withmy own eyes what the waltz does with theaudience.“People get out of their seats and waltz in theaisles spontaneously. Whether they’reMexican, Australian, Canadian, German orBritish. They sing, they smile and for a momentthey forget all their worries and are happy.Marie is the main protagonist,played brilliantly by Elizabeth Carterwho stole the show with welldelivered numbers includingTeenager In Love, I Count The Tearsand Please Mr Postman.Marie falls in love with a young blackAmerican soldier called Curtis (KieranMcGinn) and they both battle againstracial oppression, sexism and socialdivides to make the most of theirholiday romance.Marie’s sister Jennifer, played byVerity Jones, also made the stage herown as she portrayed the older, caringsister who faces her own love woesAndré RieuCode NAThat is why this tour is an ode to the waltz!”The maestro has said he and his orchestra willperform beautiful waltzes on this tour. Rieu’sconcerts are a mix of romantic, festive andemotional melodies combined with surprises,balloons, soloists and of course Rieu’s sense ofhumor.Tickets are on sale now and can be purchasedat the Echo Arena box office on 0844 8000 400or www.echoarena.comeditorial@champnews.comShow is not to be missedReview byOllie CowanSave the Last Dance for Me castwhile trying to look out for youngMarie.Kieran McGinn and LeeHoney–Jones played their partsbrilliantly as the two American bestfriends Curtis and Milton. The duodrive the story forward and mirror therelationship of the sisters with greateffect.Will the two sisters find true love, oris this just another holiday romance?You’ll have to go and see the show tofind out.The audience on the night loved theconstant sixties references to goodsand radio shows of the time, whilstthe musical numbers all hit the rightnote. By the end of the show peoplewere dancing in the isles and manywere wiping away a nostalgic tear.Credit must also go to the rest of thecast who supported the leadsbrilliantly. Joe McCourt especially, asthe young actor stood in the for sadlyindisposed Jay Perry to play the role ofSergeant Rufus.Choreography on the night was nearperfect from Bill Deamer and you’dneed to be eagle eyed to spot anymistakes in Mark Bailey’s set andcostume design.Save The Last Dance is a great showwhich really should not be missed.9/10

40 • Visit us @ www.ChampNews.com CMBA The Champion • Wednesday 17 April 2013MOTORSOff–roaders don’t need apassion for fashion!THEY don’t make ‘em like they usedto. It’s probably the most overusedcliché in the motoring book, but in thecase of one off–road encounter lastweekend it’s definitely true.The car in question was an old LandRover – specifically, a 1969 Series IIAof the ex–military variety – which Iencountered at a garage in Rainfordand I couldn’t help but swoon over itjust slightly. When you’ve been raisedaround old Range Rovers andDefenders, like I have, you can’t helpit. At least one mate of mine (youknow who you are) just doesn’t getmy fascination with old off–roadersbut the great thing with old LandRovers is they acquire a patina overdecades which the new ones justdon’t have.Whereas it’s right for someone witha sports car to spend hours on endpolishing their pride ‘n’ joy, a SeriesCHAPMANMAWDSLEYSALE SALE SALESALES • SERVICE • MOT’S• Established Over 50 Years• 1000’s Of Satisfied Customers• 3 Month No Quibble GuaranteeCALL NOW FOR OUR BEST DEALS10 SEAT IBIZA SPORT 5-DR 1 owner, FSH, 25,000 miles, in white ........... £8,49509 KIA CEED 1.6 AUTO 5-DR 33,000 miles, in silver, CD, r/locking ........... £5,79509 TOYOTA RAV 4 2.2 DIESEL XTR SE metallic grey, 1 owner, FSH, A/C, alloys,reversing sensor, bluetooth, s/roof, cruise, climate control.........................

Yes, old off–roaders areslow and noisy and corner like oceanliners, but the important thing is thatthey’re hard as nails.Or at least, they used to be, becausewhen I got in that night I saw BMW’slatest take on the off–roader – the X4,which is a bit like an X6 and about asup for a spot of Arctic exploring as GokWan is. Yes, I know I drove an X3 lastyear and found it annoyingly brilliant,but to bring out a spinoff with bizarrecoupe styling and even less off–roadability just seems completelypointless.1118333PRESTIGE SECTION53 AUDI A6 1.9 TDI MANUAL met blue, 1 owner, full Audi history, alloys....................................................................................................£1,99553 BMW 320 DIESEL AUTO silver, PAS, alloys, full black leather ...£2,995MANAGER SPECIAL05 JAGUAR X-TYPE 2.0 DIESEL in grey, parking sensors, full Jag servicehistory, full leather, top spec ............................................2 from £1,995PEOPLE CARRIERS AUTOS & ESTATES05 ZAFIRA 1.6 LIFE, black, 7 seater, s/history ................................£1,79551 ZAFIRA LIFE 7 SEATER blue, alloys, A/C, s/history ...................£1,49554 CITROEN PICASSO 1.6 DESIRE 2 PAS, 1 owner .......................£1,495R GALAXY GLX AUTO 7 SEATER 1 yr MOT/tax ...............................£995FIESTA SELECTION53 FIESTA 1.4 ZETEC 3-Dr black, PAS, alloys, A/C, CD ..................£1,99553 FIESTA 1.4 ZETEC 5-Dr black, 62,000 miles, PAS, alloys, CD ..£1,795The Range Rover Evoque has beenput to the test in the arctic...Doubtless BMW’s boffins in Bavariawould laugh politely at my suggestionif they read The Champion, andsuggest that all sorts of people, forreasons beyond modern science,WILL buy one.

We hope thateveryone will join in and see how much theycould save by collectively switching.”You can find out more and express yourinterest in joining the switch at www.LCRenergyswitch.co.uk or by calling the localSave Energy Advice Line on Freephone 0800043 0151.Model railwayclub on right trackMODEL railwaybuffs are in for atreat on Saturdayand Sunday, April27th and 28th whenLiverpool ModelRailway Club will behosting their annualrailway show for thesecond yearrunning.After a verysuccessful show lastyear the eventreturns with morequality layouts fromacross the UK at theOld Christ Church,Waterloo runningfrom 10am to4.30pm on bothdays.Some of the modelson display willinclude Dolgelauand Penmaenpoolwhich wherefeatured in the Mayedition of theRailway Modellerand have also wonthe RailwayModeller cup in2011

The Champion • Wednesday 17 April 2013Make a will andhelp WoodlandsHospice schemeby Henry JamesWOODLANDS Hospice’s Will Scheme is againrunning this month giving people the chance tohave a standard will prepared in return formaking a donation to the Hospice.Woodlands Hospice in Aintree hold theannual ‘Make a Will Month’ scheme inpartnership with local solicitors andprofessional will writers to encourage thosepeople who haven’t yet made a will to do so.Carole Riley from Woodlands Hospice said:“Making a will is sensible, practical andinexpensive. You can make provision for yourfamily and know that your wishes will becarried out.“No one likes to think of making a will andsurprisingly only three in 10 people actually doso. The absence of formal arrangements cancause a lot of distress to family members at atime when they are already very upset. Ourresearch shows that of those who have made awill few rarely revisit it once it has been writtenand with the increase in property values werecognise that many estates are nowvulnerable to inheritance tax.“A properly organised will ensures that yourassets go to the people you love or to yourpreferred charity rather than to the State, oftenthrough Inheritance Tax. If you choose to makea donation to Woodlands Hospice or indeedany other UK registered charity in your will,that donation will be free from InheritanceTax.”Solicitors participating in the scheme willhelp people by waiving their usual standard feein return for the person making a donation tothe Hospice via the solicitor at the time ofmaking their Will. People are able to makeappointments either at the hospice, at thesolicitors or in their own home to have theirWill prepared.If you have not yet made a will and would liketo take advantage of the scheme contact eitherTracy Barnes on 0151 529 8193 or email:tracy.barnes@aintree.nhs.uk or Nick Morris on0151 529 8152 or email: nick.morris@aintree.nhs.ukCarole added: “A great way of supporting theHospice is to leave us a Gift or Legacy in yourwill, after you have provided for your family.“It doesn’t matter how large or small theamount is, or whether you leave money orbelongings, we are just really grateful for yourGift. If you have already prepared your will butwish Woodlands Hospice to benefit in someway this can easily be added to your initialarrangements.”Keep in touch with the local news and viewson our websitewww.champnews.comCMBAN o 1OPENING TIMESMONDAY TO FRIDAY 9am–5.30pmSATURDAY 9am–5pm • SUNDAY 10am–4pmIN NEW & GRADEDAPPLIANCESVisit us @ www.ChampNews.com • 21Do you suffer from...Fluid Retention, Bloating, or Cellulite?We are the only clinic in the NorthWest offering this NEW treatmentGet real results:• Reduces excess fl uid• Cellulite reduction• Firms & tones• Volume reduction on legs & buttocks• Relaxing & pain free!• Launch offers availableThinning or balding?The proven solution to hair loss...Come to our open daySat 20th AprilWe’ll carry out a freedigital microscopeassessment & we’llthen advise you of thedifference Halo Elitecan make to your hairradiant livinglaser & skin clinic14 Station Rd, Parbold, WN8 7NUwww.radiantliving.co.uk☎01704 229075135/137 FYLDE ROADNEXT TO CORKILLS VW SHOWROOMMARSHSIDE · SOUTHPORTINCLUDING: • BAUMATIC • BELLING • BOSCH • BRITANNIA • CANDY • CANNON • CREDA • HOTPOINT • HOOVER • INDESIT • MIELE • NEFF • NEW WORLD • SIEMENS • RANGEMASTERBEFOREHAIR RESTORATIONAFTER~ After 6 MonthsThe Halo Elite Laser System:• Stops hair loss almostimmediately• Over 95% of patientsexperience re-growth• Increased hair thicknessand density• No surgery, no sideeffects, no pain!Call now for a free trialon either treatment012574634641118282All pictures are for illustrative purposes only and prices are valid for available stock only, subject to being unsold.JVCLT-24HD32J24” HD LED TV & DVDCOMBI £139AVAILABLEFROM FRIDAYJVC LT-42TG30J42” LCD HD TV £249JVCLT-22HD32J2J22” HD LED TV & DVD DCOMBI £129JVCLT- 24HG31J24” HD LED TV£119PANASONICTX-L55ET5B55” SMART VIERA HD LED TV£899SAMSUNGUE50ES630050” SMART 3D, HD, LED TV£799UMC 40” LCD TV£199UMC 32” LCD TV£1791118288

40 • Visit us @ www.ChampNews.com CMBA The Champion • Wednesday 17 April 2013MOTORSOff–roaders don’t need apassion for fashion!THEY don’t make ‘em like they usedto. It’s probably the most overusedcliché in the motoring book, but in thecase of one off–road encounter lastweekend it’s definitely true.The car in question was an old LandRover – specifically, a 1969 Series IIAof the ex–military variety – which Iencountered at a garage in Rainfordand I couldn’t help but swoon over itjust slightly. When you’ve been raisedaround old Range Rovers andDefenders, like I have, you can’t helpit. At least one mate of mine (youknow who you are) just doesn’t getmy fascination with old off–roadersbut the great thing with old LandRovers is they acquire a patina overdecades which the new ones justdon’t have.Whereas it’s right for someone witha sports car to spend hours on endpolishing their pride ‘n’ joy, a SeriesCHAPMANMAWDSLEYSALE SALE SALESALES • SERVICE • MOT’S• Established Over 50 Years• 1000’s Of Satisfied Customers• 3 Month No Quibble GuaranteeCALL NOW FOR OUR BEST DEALS10 SEAT IBIZA SPORT 5-DR 1 owner, FSH, 25,000 miles, in white ........... £8,49509 KIA CEED 1.6 AUTO 5-DR 33,000 miles, in silver, CD, r/locking ........... £5,79509 TOYOTA RAV 4 2.2 DIESEL XTR SE metallic grey, 1 owner, FSH, A/C, alloys,reversing sensor, bluetooth, s/roof, cruise, climate control.........................

Yes, old off–roaders areslow and noisy and corner like oceanliners, but the important thing is thatthey’re hard as nails.Or at least, they used to be, becausewhen I got in that night I saw BMW’slatest take on the off–roader – the X4,which is a bit like an X6 and about asup for a spot of Arctic exploring as GokWan is. Yes, I know I drove an X3 lastyear and found it annoyingly brilliant,but to bring out a spinoff with bizarrecoupe styling and even less off–roadability just seems completelypointless.1118333PRESTIGE SECTION53 AUDI A6 1.9 TDI MANUAL met blue, 1 owner, full Audi history, alloys....................................................................................................£1,99553 BMW 320 DIESEL AUTO silver, PAS, alloys, full black leather ...£2,995MANAGER SPECIAL05 JAGUAR X-TYPE 2.0 DIESEL in grey, parking sensors, full Jag servicehistory, full leather, top spec ............................................2 from £1,995PEOPLE CARRIERS AUTOS & ESTATES05 ZAFIRA 1.6 LIFE, black, 7 seater, s/history ................................£1,79551 ZAFIRA LIFE 7 SEATER blue, alloys, A/C, s/history ...................£1,49554 CITROEN PICASSO 1.6 DESIRE 2 PAS, 1 owner .......................£1,495R GALAXY GLX AUTO 7 SEATER 1 yr MOT/tax ...............................£995FIESTA SELECTION53 FIESTA 1.4 ZETEC 3-Dr black, PAS, alloys, A/C, CD ..................£1,99553 FIESTA 1.4 ZETEC 5-Dr black, 62,000 miles, PAS, alloys, CD ..£1,795The Range Rover Evoque has beenput to the test in the arctic...Doubtless BMW’s boffins in Bavariawould laugh politely at my suggestionif they read The Champion, andsuggest that all sorts of people, forreasons beyond modern science,WILL buy one.

It’s free to joinand householders will be able to see how muchthey would save before they decide if they wantto switch suppliers.Councillor Trish Hardy, Sefton’s cabinetmember for communities and environment,said: “People in our region are concerned byrising fuel prices but many aren’t on theirenergy supplier’s best tariff.“The LCR Collective Switch scheme aims tocut through the confusion and make it easy forpeople to switch their tariff and get a betterdeal on their energy bills. We hope thateveryone will join in and see how much theycould save by collectively switching.”You can find out more and express yourinterest in joining the switch at www.LCRenergyswitch.co.uk or by calling the localSave Energy Advice Line on Freephone 0800043 0151.Model railwayclub on right trackMODEL railwaybuffs are in for atreat on Saturdayand Sunday, April27th and 28th whenLiverpool ModelRailway Club will behosting their annualrailway show for thesecond yearrunning.After a verysuccessful show lastyear the eventreturns with morequality layouts fromacross the UK at theOld Christ Church,Waterloo runningfrom 10am to4.30pm on bothdays.Some of the modelson display willinclude Dolgelauand Penmaenpoolwhich wherefeatured in the Mayedition of theRailway Modellerand have also wonthe RailwayModeller cup in2011

The Champion • Wednesday 17 April 2013Make a will andhelp WoodlandsHospice schemeby Henry JamesWOODLANDS Hospice’s Will Scheme is againrunning this month giving people the chance tohave a standard will prepared in return formaking a donation to the Hospice.Woodlands Hospice in Aintree hold theannual ‘Make a Will Month’ scheme inpartnership with local solicitors andprofessional will writers to encourage thosepeople who haven’t yet made a will to do so.Carole Riley from Woodlands Hospice said:“Making a will is sensible, practical andinexpensive. You can make provision for yourfamily and know that your wishes will becarried out.“No one likes to think of making a will andsurprisingly only three in 10 people actually doso. The absence of formal arrangements cancause a lot of distress to family members at atime when they are already very upset. Ourresearch shows that of those who have made awill few rarely revisit it once it has been writtenand with the increase in property values werecognise that many estates are nowvulnerable to inheritance tax.“A properly organised will ensures that yourassets go to the people you love or to yourpreferred charity rather than to the State, oftenthrough Inheritance Tax. If you choose to makea donation to Woodlands Hospice or indeedany other UK registered charity in your will,that donation will be free from InheritanceTax.”Solicitors participating in the scheme willhelp people by waiving their usual standard feein return for the person making a donation tothe Hospice via the solicitor at the time ofmaking their Will. People are able to makeappointments either at the hospice, at thesolicitors or in their own home to have theirWill prepared.If you have not yet made a will and would liketo take advantage of the scheme contact eitherTracy Barnes on 0151 529 8193 or email:tracy.barnes@aintree.nhs.uk or Nick Morris on0151 529 8152 or email: nick.morris@aintree.nhs.ukCarole added: “A great way of supporting theHospice is to leave us a Gift or Legacy in yourwill, after you have provided for your family.“It doesn’t matter how large or small theamount is, or whether you leave money orbelongings, we are just really grateful for yourGift. If you have already prepared your will butwish Woodlands Hospice to benefit in someway this can easily be added to your initialarrangements.”Keep in touch with the local news and viewson our websitewww.champnews.comCMBAN o 1OPENING TIMESMONDAY TO FRIDAY 9am–5.30pmSATURDAY 9am–5pm • SUNDAY 10am–4pmIN NEW & GRADEDAPPLIANCESVisit us @ www.ChampNews.com • 21Do you suffer from...Fluid Retention, Bloating, or Cellulite?We are the only clinic in the NorthWest offering this NEW treatmentGet real results:• Reduces excess fl uid• Cellulite reduction• Firms & tones• Volume reduction on legs & buttocks• Relaxing & pain free!• Launch offers availableThinning or balding?The proven solution to hair loss...Come to our open daySat 20th AprilWe’ll carry out a freedigital microscopeassessment & we’llthen advise you of thedifference Halo Elitecan make to your hairradiant livinglaser & skin clinic14 Station Rd, Parbold, WN8 7NUwww.radiantliving.co.uk☎01704 229075135/137 FYLDE ROADNEXT TO CORKILLS VW SHOWROOMMARSHSIDE · SOUTHPORTINCLUDING: • BAUMATIC • BELLING • BOSCH • BRITANNIA • CANDY • CANNON • CREDA • HOTPOINT • HOOVER • INDESIT • MIELE • NEFF • NEW WORLD • SIEMENS • RANGEMASTERBEFOREHAIR RESTORATIONAFTER~ After 6 MonthsThe Halo Elite Laser System:• Stops hair loss almostimmediately• Over 95% of patientsexperience re-growth• Increased hair thicknessand density• No surgery, no sideeffects, no pain!Call now for a free trialon either treatment012574634641118282All pictures are for illustrative purposes only and prices are valid for available stock only, subject to being unsold.JVCLT-24HD32J24” HD LED TV & DVDCOMBI £139AVAILABLEFROM FRIDAYJVC LT-42TG30J42” LCD HD TV £249JVCLT-22HD32J2J22” HD LED TV & DVD DCOMBI £129JVCLT- 24HG31J24” HD LED TV£119PANASONICTX-L55ET5B55” SMART VIERA HD LED TV£899SAMSUNGUE50ES630050” SMART 3D, HD, LED TV£799UMC 40” LCD TV£199UMC 32” LCD TV£1791118288

40 • Visit us @ www.ChampNews.com CMBA The Champion • Wednesday 17 April 2013MOTORSOff–roaders don’t need apassion for fashion!THEY don’t make ‘em like they usedto. It’s probably the most overusedcliché in the motoring book, but in thecase of one off–road encounter lastweekend it’s definitely true.The car in question was an old LandRover – specifically, a 1969 Series IIAof the ex–military variety – which Iencountered at a garage in Rainfordand I couldn’t help but swoon over itjust slightly. When you’ve been raisedaround old Range Rovers andDefenders, like I have, you can’t helpit. At least one mate of mine (youknow who you are) just doesn’t getmy fascination with old off–roadersbut the great thing with old LandRovers is they acquire a patina overdecades which the new ones justdon’t have.Whereas it’s right for someone witha sports car to spend hours on endpolishing their pride ‘n’ joy, a SeriesCHAPMANMAWDSLEYSALE SALE SALESALES • SERVICE • MOT’S• Established Over 50 Years• 1000’s Of Satisfied Customers• 3 Month No Quibble GuaranteeCALL NOW FOR OUR BEST DEALS10 SEAT IBIZA SPORT 5-DR 1 owner, FSH, 25,000 miles, in white ........... £8,49509 KIA CEED 1.6 AUTO 5-DR 33,000 miles, in silver, CD, r/locking ........... £5,79509 TOYOTA RAV 4 2.2 DIESEL XTR SE metallic grey, 1 owner, FSH, A/C, alloys,reversing sensor, bluetooth, s/roof, cruise, climate control.........................

Yes, old off–roaders areslow and noisy and corner like oceanliners, but the important thing is thatthey’re hard as nails.Or at least, they used to be, becausewhen I got in that night I saw BMW’slatest take on the off–roader – the X4,which is a bit like an X6 and about asup for a spot of Arctic exploring as GokWan is. Yes, I know I drove an X3 lastyear and found it annoyingly brilliant,but to bring out a spinoff with bizarrecoupe styling and even less off–roadability just seems completelypointless.1118333PRESTIGE SECTION53 AUDI A6 1.9 TDI MANUAL met blue, 1 owner, full Audi history, alloys....................................................................................................£1,99553 BMW 320 DIESEL AUTO silver, PAS, alloys, full black leather ...£2,995MANAGER SPECIAL05 JAGUAR X-TYPE 2.0 DIESEL in grey, parking sensors, full Jag servicehistory, full leather, top spec ............................................2 from £1,995PEOPLE CARRIERS AUTOS & ESTATES05 ZAFIRA 1.6 LIFE, black, 7 seater, s/history ................................£1,79551 ZAFIRA LIFE 7 SEATER blue, alloys, A/C, s/history ...................£1,49554 CITROEN PICASSO 1.6 DESIRE 2 PAS, 1 owner .......................£1,495R GALAXY GLX AUTO 7 SEATER 1 yr MOT/tax ...............................£995FIESTA SELECTION53 FIESTA 1.4 ZETEC 3-Dr black, PAS, alloys, A/C, CD ..................£1,99553 FIESTA 1.4 ZETEC 5-Dr black, 62,000 miles, PAS, alloys, CD ..£1,795The Range Rover Evoque has beenput to the test in the arctic...Doubtless BMW’s boffins in Bavariawould laugh politely at my suggestionif they read The Champion, andsuggest that all sorts of people, forreasons beyond modern science,WILL buy one.

This year,Father Severinus Ndugwa, who iscurrently studying for a doctoratein theology at Maynooth, Ireland,accepted the invitation to be themain concelebrant. A total of fourpriests helped with confessionincluding Fathers Simpson,McAllister and Matthews.“Some people had not been toconfession for many years butfound the experience relaxing andspiritually rewarding. It wasThe new Hillsborough monumentCode1058061of England.“There has been animprovement in publicrecognition over the past fewyears but it is really still a verylow–key event. It is clearly anideal topic for an e–petition.“We have far fewer publicholidays in this country thanmany European countries and Ibelieve it would be appropriatefor one to be instituted for StGeorge.“I hope as many people aspossible will show their supportfor St George by wearing atraditional red rose next Tuesday.“Gallons of Guiness is downedon St Patrick’s Day and no doubtthe patriotic English could do thesame on St George’s Day withtraditional real ales, which thanksto an increasing number ofmicro–breweries, are readilyavailable. This in turn could helpfor our ailing pub industry.”The Divine Mercy celebrations saw the congregation venerate first classrelics of Blessed John Paul II and Saint Faustina (a Polish saint)Code NAwonderful for people to venerateboth the relic of Blessed John Paul IIand Saint Faustina.”During the afternoon theA BOOTLE residenthas blasted SeftonCouncil’s decision tono longer providebin bags to housesthat don’t havewheelie bins callingit ‘completleyunfair’.Carol Maddockcontacted theChampion after sheand her neighbourslearned they wouldno longer bereceiving the freebin bags.She said: “We usedtogettwolotsofbinbags twice a year.When we receivedthe bags just beforeChristmas theydidn’t tell us thiswould be our last.“One of myneighbours went tothe One Stop Shop toget some more andshe was told thecouncil wouldn’t besupplying themanymore.“I think itscompletely unfairthat just because wecan’t have wheeliebins we have to payout for the bags.“How much perhousehold does itcost Sefton Council?It can’t really be thatmuch.”But Sefton Councilsaid that a newsystem was set to beimplemented andthere was still anumber of bin bagsleft that they woulddistribute toresidents.A spokesman forSefton Council said:“To help the councilcope with furthersignificantreductions ingovernment fundinga budget decisionwas taken that wecould nolonger purchaseand supply clear binbags for homes thatstill have a weeklycollection.“However thecouncil still has alimited stockof clear bags so,despite the budgetsaving, a finalsix–month supply ofbags will bedelivered to thesehomes in the nextfew weeks. Thismeanspeople should havebags to last untilDecember 2013after which they willno longer beprovided.“At the same timethese householdswill soon be able torecycle plastic andcardboard via a newdoorstep collectionfollowing asuccessful bid forgovernmentfunding.
