FUNDRAISING TARGET SET AS PLAYER LEAVES HOSPITAL DANIEL Lowe, the teenage footballer saved by a defibrillator last weekend, has been discharged from hospital and has been reunited with his Stocksbridge Park Steels team mates. The under 15 Yellows have had a week that they will probably never forget. Last Sunday they were devastated when their friend and team mate had a heart attack while playing. The heroics of several individuals kept him alive and he ended up in the special Heart Hospital in Leeds, where he underwent heart surgery. The trauma of the ordeal has affected a lot of people and through social media, people from around the country have sent best wishes and get well messages. So it was some surprise when just seven days later, Daniel requested to join his team mates and go back to the pitch where the incident took place. Daniel, fifth from the left, was surrounded by ecstatic and relieved players and managers. Daniel’s family have been keen to use the unfortunate incident as a way of raising awareness of defibrillators. His father said in a statement: “I would like to thank everyone who was at Daniel’s match “Their quick thinking not only saved his life but on Sunday. brought him back to us without any mental defi“Everyone contributed to saving our son’s life. From cits.

This amazing, life saving, piece of equipment that started his CPR and brought him back to us. is priceless. If we learn anything from this event,

please let it be that these defibrillators need to be in every sports ground, in every school and in all our communities. “Each week in the U.K. apparently healthy young people die from sudden cardiac death. There is free screening available from an organisation called CRY. Screening in Italy has reduced the occurrence of sudden cardiac death by 89%. Please

use the screening to ensure the safety of our young people in this country.” A Just Giving page has been set up in an attempt to raise £15,000 for more defibrillators. Visit https:// www.facebook.com/Stocksbridgeparksteels/ for details on how to contribute.

HILLSBOROUGH BURGLAR JAILED A 30-YEAR-OLD Hillsborough man is starting a three-year prison sentence after being convicted of burglary.

Dominic Ransom, of Leppings Lane, appeared before Sheffield Crown Court on Wednesday November 21. He pleaded guilty to two burglaries and was sentenced to three years in prison. On August 7 of this year, Ransom broke into a house on Wadsley Lane in Shef-

field, stealing watches, wallets and an amount of cash.

On August 13, he broke into a second house, this time on Stanwood Crescent in Sheffield, stealing laptops and a wallet. Investigations led officers to Ransom’s home on September 6 where he was found hiding in a kitchen cupboard. He was subsequently arrested.

Investigating Officer PC David Stacey said: “We are pleased with the sentence that Ransom has received; burglary can have a long-term impact on victims, especially in cases like these where the homeowner witnessed Ransom in action. “Our officers worked hard to track Ransom down and I hope the community are reassured by his sentence.”

Young bards praised for 12th Night performance DEEPCAR St John’s CE Junior School have recently performed a Shakespearian play, Twelfth Night, at Barnsley Civic Theatre. This was part of the Shakespeare Schools Foundation Shakespeare Festival for schools. Miss Anne Danks, a Y4 teacher, successfully applied for some funding from the BlueSpark Foundation. This enabled the pupils to gain an invaluable experience to perform in a professional theatre both in acting and in technical roles - learning how to work the lights and sound to bring the production to life.

The children were initially very nervous but performed the play superbly in front an audience. They were brilliant at learning their difficult lines and were praised by the Shakespeare Schools Foundation professionals for their understanding of the language of Shakespeare and their characterisation. Their comedic performance of the exaggerated characters in Twelfth Night brought laughter from the audience who, like the actors and technicians, thoroughly enjoyed the performance.

Oughtibridge Village Made draws in the crowds

6th December 2018

www.looklocal.org.uk

MP backs campaign to improve access to financial support for terminally ill ALONG with actors Jim Carter and Nichola McAuliffe, Angela Smith MP is backing a campaign that will enable more terminally ill people to access benefits more quickly and easily, regardless of the condition they have. The MND Association and Marie Curie are working together to push for a change in the law that will enable more terminally ill people get quicker access to the benefits they need to live well until they die. Currently, someone is only considered terminally ill if there is a reasonable expectation of having six or less months left to live.

By Ewan Pendleton

a Thursday evening at the end of November.

WITH Christmas just around the corner, some residents of Oughtibridge were working like elves to get themselves ready for the annual Christmas market, Village Made. With over a dozen stalls stocking all manner of handmade delights, such as sweet smelling soaps, brilliantly decorative baubles and candles, jewellery and tasty treats, everything for sale was produced locally. Village Made has been running for almost a decade now and interest in it certainly hasn’t wavered as time has progressed. This year, well over a hundred people braved the bitter weather to attend the market held in Oughtibridge Chapel on

There was something there for people of all ages. Christmas themed crafting workshops were available for adults and children, with both of which being fully booked up in advance. Traditional festive themed snacks and refreshments like mince pies and mulled wine were also on offer to keep the customers content. Not forgetting Oughtibridge brass band, who accompanied the proceedings with some Christmas tunes to add to the already lively atmosphere. With the ever growing popularity of online shopping and big brand stores, the people of Oughtibridge know that it is important to get involved with nights like

these - which was shown by the excellent turn out of both patrons and stall holders. Indeed, such was the demand for stalls, some people opted to share. Founder and co-organiser of Village Made, Kristen Berry, strongly believes that there is still a place for this type of community event. She said: “We all buy things online because it’s easier and I don’t think that’s going to stop, we can order something and it arrives at our house.” “But I think people do appreciate the fact that things here are made locally. Having it come right from your village from someone who’s made it that lives a few blocks away from you is a nice thing to do.”

This definition excludes people with complex and unpredictable terminal conditions from accessing the financial support they need in a timely manner. The current bureaucratic process for accessing crucial benefits can be lengthy, complex and instructive. The change in the law will allow clinicians to determine whether a person is terminally ill, instead of an arbitrary time-limit decided in years gone-by. This would mean that people with complex and unpredictable terminal illnesses, such as motor neurone disease, can apply for benefits in a way far better suited to their needs and circumstances. Angela said: “Chances are, we all know someone who’s been affected by a terminal illness, so it’s absolutely crucial that we make sure that

anyone facing such a difficult time gets all the care and support they need, when they need it. That is why I’m backing the ‘scrap6months’ campaign.” Scott Sinclair, Head of Policy and Public Affairs at Marie Curie, said: “Having the support of Angela, Jim and Nichola makes a huge difference to the campaign. “The current welfare system for terminally ill people is unfair and outdated, and results in cruel and distressing treatment for people who are at the end of their lives. “Nobody with a terminal illness should have to face multiple assessments and back-to-work interviews when the stark fact is that they are dying and have limited time left.” Marie Curie is there for everyone affected by a terminal illness, including those with cancer, dementia, heart or lung disease, and neurological conditions like motor neurone disease. If you’re living with a terminal illness or caring for someone, call the Marie Curie Support Line on 0800 090 2309 for support, or go to mariecurie.org.uk/help. The Access to Welfare (Terminal Illness Definition) Bill is seeking to change the current definition of terminal illness to allow terminally ill people to access benefits quicker, easier, and in a way that best suits the individual.

Greener Worrall goes for red

Local News

Local winners in awards ceremony LOCAL school girl Molly Hayes, 10, attended the Sheffield Star Superkids awards on Monday after being nominated for the Fearless Bravery Award by her school. Molly, who attends Deepcar St John’s Junior School, was one of several finalists to receive a certificate from mascot Theo the Bear. Molly was put forward for the award after a tough year being in and out the Children’s Hopsital with a heart condition that nearly took her life. In March, Molly became extremely poorly very quickly and was diagnosed with a heart condition called Supra Ventricular Tachycardia (SVT) at Sheffield Children’s Hospital - her heart rate spiked to 256bpm.

PASSING through Worrall? Look out for the new red maple tree by the junction of Kirk Edge Road and Worrall Road. Amey staff moved the four-metre October Glory with its 50-litre of rootball into position on Tuesday morning watched by 15 members of the Worrall Environmental Group and Sheffield City and Bradfield Parish Councillor, Vickie Priestley. Amey’s Andrew Greenwood worked with the group in selecting the site just across the road from a 20-yearold oak planted by a member of that

group – that now stands at almost 10 metres tall. The autumn colours of these two trees will contrast for decades to come. The red leafed maple was chosen to give a poppy-like colour around the date of the Armistice commemorations. Some of those gathered will water the tree next spring twice a week with 20 litres of water from the nearby drinking troughs. This planting pushes the number of newly provided trees around Worrall close to the 2,000 mark.

Despite several attempts to lower her heart rate nothing was working. The doctors administered a drug to Molly. The first attempt failed but on the second dose it worked and stopped her heart. For a few moments she was clinically dead with the heart monitor stopping. Thankfully, the crash team and those doctors at the hospital model to others in her school, which is amazing.” saved Molly’s life.

The school has consistently achieved above national expectations in writing, reading and maths in Key Stage 1 as well as phonics screening. It has a exciting, broad and balanced curriculum which is celebrated with the school gaining the NAACE ICT Mark, Arts Mark and the Sports Mark Gold Award.”
