BYPASS REOPENS AFTER MAJOR FLOODING Armed robbery in Ecclesfield POLICE are investigating following reports of an armed robbery at a shop in Ecclesfield on Sunday January 21.

Just before 5.50pm a man entered the Co-Op, in High Street, carrying what is described as a machete.

He made demands for money before leaving via the back entrance of the shop with a quantity of cash, made up mainly of coins.

He left the area heading towards Barnsley Road in a silver Vauxhall Corsa, thought to have been stolen the previous evening from the High Green area.

No one was injured during the incident but staff members were understandably left incredibly shaken.

The man is described as wearing a blue ski mask/ balaclava, a blue hoodie, grey jogging bottoms and carrying a Sainsbury’s bag.

The car was later found burnt out in the Shiregreen area and enquiries remain ongoing to identify the offender.

The A616 Stocksbridge Bypass has re-opened with traffic management measures in place after being closed for almost a week due to flooding.

These photos from Highways England show the extent of the problem which saw the road closed between the A6102 and the A628.

Officers are asking anyone with information to come forward and for businesses to be mindful of anyone trying to change large quantities of coins.

Anyone with information is asked to call either 101 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111 quoting incident number 756 of 21 January 2018.

POLICE HUNT THIEVES THAT STRUCK AT HAULAGE COMPANY THERE has been an appeal for information from South Yorkshire Police following the theft of five lorry trailers in Deepcar, as reported in Look Local last week.

The flat-bed loaded vehicles, that belong to Brian Kaye Transport Ltd, were stolen from Ernest Thorpe Storage Yard on Station Road, Deepcar, sometime overnight from 8pm on Saturday January 13.

PC Liz Wilson, who is leading the investigation, said: “We know that the gates were locked at 8pm and had large concrete blocks in front of them.

“It appears that a chain has been used to move the blocks and the lock then removed from the gate.

The trailers are marked with yellow BK identification plates on the front.

Three of the trailers are blue, one of which has a green Moffett truck mounted forklift on the rear. This trailer was carrying green wire fencing.

Two are red extended trailers.

All the trailers, apart from one, were loaded with steel girders.

Two of the loads were covered in blue sheeting with Brian Kaye Transport written in white on the side.

PC Wilson added: “It’s most likely that they were driven onto the Stocksbridge by-pass or along Wortley Road and out toward Thurgoland.

“Due to the size and weight of each trailer, some form of tractor unit must have been used to haul them from the yard.

“They may also have been driven along Manchester Road through Deepcar/Stocksbridge or toward Sheffield City Centre on the main road. “

“We would like to hear from anyone who heard or saw anything suspicious or may have seen which direction the lorry trailers were driven in.”

Anyone with information is asked to contact 101 quoting incident 482 of 14 January 2018.

Tonnes of tinned tomatoes THE Real Junk Food Project in Sheffield have a strange situation on their hands after being asked to help shift 50 tonnes of tomatoes.

They run pay-as-you-feel cafés, the Sharehouse Market and a Fuel for School program alongside their popular catering function.

The Real Junk Food Project Sheffield is a nonprofit social enterprise saving food from being wasted and making it available to the people of Sheffield.

The project is powered by volunteers from all walks of life who give up their time to keep the wheels turning.

If you, your business, organisation, charity, school or other cause would like one or more of these 10kg tubs of tomatoes then you can fill out a form at realjunkfoodsheffield.com.

But now they face an unusual situation after being contacted by a large food manufacturer who has 50 tonnes of sliced, frozen, cherry tomatoes

They will then contact you to arrange collection as soon as they know the official tomato landing date.

Since June 2015 they’ve fed over 25,000 people and saved hundreds of tons of food from going to waste. In 2018 they expect to save 500 tons.

New service launches with options in the north of Sheffield A NEW Health and Wellbeing service is on offer across the north of Sheffield and they are free to people who live, work or receive health treatment in Sheffield.

Living with a long-term physical health condition such as diabetes or a heart condition can affect how we feel, stopping us from doing the things we enjoy and making life more difficult. This in turn can make us feel isolated or lonely, sometimes leading to anxiety or depression.

It also works the other way.

How we feel can have a big impact on our physical health. When you feel low or anxious you can find that you are eating more, drinking more or being less active. It is estimated that around 65% of people with common mental health problems also have a long term physical health condition.

Many of us will have heard the statistic that one in four people each year experience a mental health problem and we are all affected at different times in our lives by stress, worry and low mood. Feelings such as anxiety or stress can affect the strongest of us regardless of our age or abilities.

In the past, people have had to access different services for their mental health and physical health but here in Sheffield this is changing. Sheffield Health & Social Care NHS Foundation Trust (SHSC) firmly believes that neither mental wellbeing or physical health should be treated in isolation.

Thanks to £1.8million of national funding, SHSC has expanded its Improving Access to Psychological Therapies (IAPT) Service, developing a new Health and Wellbeing Service.

The new Health and Wellbeing Service offers a greater level of support to people with long-term physical health needs. It provides free specific psychological support and treatment to people experiencing a range of health conditions including heart conditions, musculoskeletal conditions,

chronic persistent pain, diabetes, chronic fatigue syndrome/ME, irritable bowel syndrome, skin conditions, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), life after cancer treatment and health related anxieties.

It also offers additional courses suitable for people with any long-term physical health condition: Mindfulness for Health, Stress Control and also Living Well with a Long Term Condition.

The majority of the support available is offered through short courses which take place at accessible venues across Sheffield. One to one support is also available. In the North of Sheffield, current venues include Thorncliffe and Concorde Leisure Centres, Grenoside Grange and a few GP practices, with a number of courses starting this week and in the coming weeks.

All services are free to people who live, work or receive health treatment in Sheffield. No referral is needed, just call 0114 2716568 to book on to a course or ask for an assessment to see which options are right for you.

The people who have already attended courses have found them really helpful - one person who had had IBS for 17 years said: “I haven’t had any support since diagnosis, it’s been such a relief to meet other people with the same problem.”

Others said they felt more positive about living with their health condition in the future, and had used the techniques they had learned to make positive changes to daily life. Another said that spending time on the course with others who understood her condition encouraged her that she wasn’t alone and that there is help out there. The Health and Wellbeing team hope that everyone who might benefit will self-refer to the service and make the most of the courses on offer.

Hillsborough Park Bowling club seeks new members HILLSBOROUGH Park Bowling Club are looking to increase their current membership, both in terms of competitive bowling as well as social bowling with the latter focusing on the health benefits that Crown Green Bowls has to offer.

Post-war S6 making waves worldwide WHEN Jack Watson started scribbling down a few Hillsborough childhood memories for his grandkids he had no idea what he was about to unleash.

Roll on 24 months and his book, ‘A Nice Tailend From Mr Burrows’, has been in demand right around the world, he has been re-united with his wife’s long-lost cousin he lost contact with 45 years ago and he has just started writing his second book!

Not bad for a man that didn’t write his first book until the age of 64.

Jack, who is export manager at DA Cooper & Sons in Rotherham, said: “From Pitsmoor to Penang. From Treeton to Trini-

dad. From Darnall to Denmark.

From Catcliffe to Qatar. I’ve lost track of the near and far places orders have come from and I can’t get over the interest in S6 in the 1950s and 1960s!”

His book – which came out a few weeks ago - brings post-war life in Sheffield’s Hillsborough area vividly back to life.

Whilst Britain was still in the grips of austerity, young Jack had everything he wanted and more on Proctor Place – his home for the first few years of his life.

Friends, family and the longgone Hillsborough Kinema – the picture house that gave him his lifelong love of films – was ev-

erything he needed within a 500 yard radius of his house.

Mr Watson said: “We were one of three terrace houses that shared a communal yard covered in sinkholes. We had an outdoor toilet, no hot water and the only heating was an open fire in one room.

“But nowhere could I have found a better grounding than S6 – everything from the colourful characters I encountered to the famous Hillsborough roar and the World Cup group games of 1966.”

A Nice Tailend From Mr Burrows is published by www.acmretro.com and sells for £9.95.

Memories of Steps wanted as nursery celebrates 20th anniversary STEPS Community Nursery, based at the Paces Campus in High Green, are celebrating their 20th anniversary this year.

sessions a week. Some of the current staff were involved with running the group as far back as 1993.

In 1997, they were given the opportunity to move into the Paces Campus and began offering services such as a crèche and preschool from January 1998. There were only five or six staff back then!

With the help of a Lottery Grant and a lot of hard work, Steps gradually expanded to become a full day nursery in 2001, open 50 weeks of the year.

Did you attend Steps Community Nursery, formerly known as Steps Crèche & PreSchool, in the last 20 years? Tell them what you’re doing now and show them your picture, then and now!

Steps will be celebrating with a party later in the year and hope you’ll be able to join them for some cake. In the meantime, check out their Facebook page for some wonderful memories.

FROM Monday January 22, South Yorkshire Police are supporting a week-long national initiative to target drivers who continue to use their mobile phones behind the wheel.

Their delighted musical director, Derek Renshaw, commented: “Results like this don’t happen without a lot of hard work, with hours of practice in the bandroom and at home.

They beat 21 other bands in the First Section to scoop second place. Twenty-three bands, from all over the country, played the same test piece - Renaissance by Peter Graham - and were scrutinised by two adjudicators, Martin Heartfield and Nicholas Garman.

“I’m extremely proud of the standard we’ve achieved against a wide field of competition.

The band are building up a good record at this contest, also being runners-up last year.

Officers from the force’s Operational Support Unit will be out on the region’s roads, stopping motorists seen using their handheld mobile phones behind the wheel.

Under the new legislation, from March 2017 drivers caught using their phone will receive six points on their licence and a £200 fine. In certain circumstances, drivers may be sent on an educational course.

“We will now be concentrating on doing well at the Yorkshire Area contest so it’s back to rehearsals - with an extra bit of spring in our steps.”

Acting Inspector Lee Beck said: “Using a handheld mobile device while driving, or even while the car is stationary with the engine running, is illegal

The band’s next contesting challenge will be the Yorkshire Brass Band Championships in March when it will be up against the First Section’s cream of the county.

and has been so since December 2003.

“However, the change in law last March doubled the punishment for those individuals who continue to flout the law and use their handheld devices while driving.

“Using a mobile while driving is distracting and draws your attention away from the road – it can have fatal consequences.

“We will have marked and unmarked police resources on our roads equipped with video cameras to record breaches of the law, so the warning to motorists is clear: don’t use your mobile phone while driving, don’t have it in your hands, or else you could be stopped by one of our team.”

In addition, to run alongside the mobile phone operation, officers will be carrying out a ded-

icated Safe Pass operation. This involves officers on bicycles being deployed onto the roads, to identify motorists that fail to adhere to safe passing distances for bicycles.

Insp Beck continued: “While we have officers dedicated to raising awareness about the dangers of using handheld devices behind the wheel, we thought it would be useful to highlight once again another vital element of road safety: safe passing distances for cyclists.

“Driving too closely to a cyclist is incredibly dangerous and can have serious consequences, so it’s important that we continue to educate motorists about safe passing distances and to encourage a greater awareness of, and respect for, other road users.”

The dedicated operation will run until Monday January 28.

SHEFFIELD-BASED charity Support Dogs is looking for local people in to take care of puppies who are training to become assistance dogs.

However, they are not finding enough suitable dogs so the puppies will add to these existing sources to help the charity meet the current demand.

The national charity, whose headquarters are in Brightside, is bidding to increase the number of dogs it trains by taking on 12 eight-week puppies over the next year.

They are also recruiting for a full-time puppy coordinator to its training team who will be responsible for selecting puppies and providing a structured training programme.

The move is in response to a huge increase in demand from the public for its services and for its life-changing support dogs.

“Just loving cute puppies is not enough – potential puppy socialisers will have to be prepared to put in some hard work, cope with typical puppy behaviour and are committed to meeting the puppy’s physical and mental needs,” said Support Dogs’ chief executive Rita Howson.

‘Puppy socialisers’ will be expected to be at home for most of the day to dedicate their time to training and raising a puppy, and attend regular group obedience classes to further their training. They must also live within an hour’s drive of Sheffield.

The puppies will need to be looked after for up to 15 months before they embark on their full training.

Support Dogs, which trains assistance dogs for children with autism and adults with epilepsy and physical disability, receives thousands of requests for help every year, and has an ever-growing waiting list.

In the past Support Dogs has recruited prospective assistance dogs between the ages of 10 and 18 months from a variety of sources including other Assistance Dogs UK charities, rescue centres, council dog pounds, and unwanted pets.

Farmers Ales are available in eaway bottles, 5 litre mini kegs, tak lon gal 9 and es jugs, 10 litre box y casks, subject to availabilit ails det her furt for us tact con se Plea

“But they will have the enormous satisfaction of knowing they are helping us train more muchneeded assistance dogs for people with autism, epilepsy and physical disability.”

Ms Howson added that Support Dogs received more than 3,500 requests for its services in the past year from individuals and families in need – double the previous year.

“We’re training more dogs than ever before but even so we can’t meet demand, so we hope this new puppy scheme will help us bridge that gap,” she said.

Big thank you I would like to say a big thank you to kind and considerate person who found our ginger cat Marmalade who had been savaged by a dog and was found laid on the ground suffering. Thank you for taking our cat to PDSA at New Hall Road.

We will forever be grateful to you for your act of kindness.

Unfortunately, she had too many injuries, as well as the fact she was a well aged cat with problems.

The fact she had gone missing for two weeks was heartbreaking, always wondering where she was alive or dead.

So we owe you, the Good Samaritan, our gratitude our thanks that on such a bleak, cold and icy night.

This policy is not a generic protection of all open countryside in Sheffield. It applies only to four sites – Hollin Busk being one of them. This policy is in place to prevent development of a single dwelling let alone a housing estate. It is there to protect our Thank you once again highly valued visual amenity of Hollin Busk.

Mr and Mrs P. Law, Remember this is an outline planning application.

The 2017 Housing White Paper clearly directs future housing development to ‘brownfield’ sites (900+ houses in this area) and reaffirms strong protection for valued Open Countryside.

On a final note, I didn’t see Mr Gethin at the City Council meeting on January 3 so I’m presuming Adam Hurst told him what was said because he was there. I recorded the meeting and transcribed the words spoken by Councillor Mrs Mary Lea and they don’t match his version. Maybe an independent source would be better.

Reply of a NIMBY A walk along Hollin Busk Lane is a walk in the countryside. It’s a pleasant and uplifting experience to see horses, cows, sheep and geese along with a wealth of birdlife. In summer the swallows swoop low over the fields. There are often rabbits and I even saw a weasel disappear into a drystone wall once. To add to it all there is the fine view of Hunshelf Bank in the distance.

There is a proposal that all of this should be at an end. The proposers would like me to enjoy, instead, the sight of the back ends of vehicles parked in driveways and, at Christmas, Rudolph in flashing lights in somebody’s front garden.

Rest assured that this will be the thin end of the wedge; the foot in the doorway.

As a result, today it is launching its â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Pass It Onâ&#x20AC;&#x2DC; campaign to help encourage the next generation to learn vital new skills and become amateur home DIYers themselves as part of their New Yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s resolutions.

Researchers polled 1,500 Brits and discovered that 35 percent of Sheffield residents have resigned themselves to being hopeless around the house, with a further 20 percent admitting they have never put up a shelf and 16 percent insist they canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even change a plug.

A further 28 percent said they still ask their parents to come over to help out with practical tasks including putting up wallpaper, painting a wall or fixing a broken toilet seat.

Of those polled from Sheffield, 22 percent said they have tried and tried but have given up ever being able to master basic home maintenance.

The research showed that six in ten respondents said that as a nation, Brits have lost the art of DIY and over a third of Sheffield adults feel immense pressure to be able to perform

To coincide with the launch of the Pass It On campaign and as part of the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2DC;s New Yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s resolutions for 2018, it has introduced a new inspiration hub, allaboutdiy.com to help pass on essential DIY and gardening knowledge and skills to consumers. It provides expert step-by-step guides, DIY advice for

learning new skills, as well as detailed projects to encourage people to make items for themselves and give them the confidence they need to get hands on.

The poll also revealed 65 percent have never attempted to tile a bathroom, over one third couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t fix a dripping tap and 18 percent would be clueless about fitting a toilet seat.

In addition, 55 percent of all adults have never had a stab at cleaning out the guttering.

Church avoid banana skin with point at Thackley Thackley 1 Penistone Church 1 PENISTONE Church travelled to Thackley for their Toolstation NCEL Premier Division fixture on Saturday and they came from behind to draw 1-1.

Luke Robinson opened the scoring for Thackley two minutes after the break but Church didn’t have to wait long for a response and Jordan Coduri levelled for them on 52 minutes.

After the game, manager Ian Richards said: “Credit to Thackley today, I thought the players put in a performance of great resilience and commitment for their new management team.

“I wish their new management team all the very best, it’s a difficult job to do and it’s even harder when you do it as player manager and they seem to have their players who are very much committed to them so I can only see them improving.

“I thought that the pitch, which was a very heavy quagmire of a state, made it a bit of a leveller and it was a little more difficult to play our fast, freeflowing football even though I thought for 85 minutes we edged the game and created chances but on a better surface we would have been a bit more slicker and sharper in our play and our finishing would have come through.

“The third thing that made it a draw today was their keeper, Luke Wilson, who was exceptional, he was the man of the match today, not the biggest lad but his spring, his handling, his shot stopping and all round play was superb and if it hadn’t have been for him we could have won 4-1.

Richard with Head of Communications at Dransfield Properties Amanda Holmes.

NORTH Sheffield runner Richard Hayes – known as the Mohican Runner – is setting himself a tough challenge during 2018 and the team at Dransfield Properties are helping him to get out of the starting blocks.

Richard, from Stocksbridge, is a Northern Masters athlete and no stranger to pushing himself to the limit.

Over the next 12 months, the 36-year-old will be taking part in 18 separate tough running challenges across the UK – completing 12 10k runs and six half marathons with the aim of raising funds for the NSPCC’s Childline.

He’ll be setting out to run each 10k race in under 37 minutes and each half marathon in under 80 minutes.

He is being supported in his 2018 challenge by the team from Dransfield Properties who are sponsoring his fundraising push to ensure he can cover the cost of his races as well as his running gear.

Dransfield Properties own and manage Fox Valley in Stocksbridge where Richard is a regular visitor on his daily training runs around the hills of his hometown.

Richard has completed two previous challenges for the NSPCC after the charity supported him through Childline when he was a teenager.

His first race of the year will be the East Midlands 10k on February 25th and over the next 12 months he’ll be heading to towns and cities right across the UK including Leeds, Liverpool, York, Hull and Manchester.

He’ll also take part in the Run for All in Sheffield in September and the Great North Run in Newcastle the same month.

Richard, who’s unconventional hairstyle gained him the nickname at race meetings of The Mohican Runner, said: “It is going to be a tough challenge but I am determined to achieve it and make sure I stay fit and well over the next 12 months.

“I am really focussed on achieving the best possible times at each race and raising as much money as possible for a charity that helped me and does so much to help children and young people.

“I am over the moon to have the support of the Dransfield team on this journey and I’ll certainly be doing my best to put my home town on the map throughout the challenge.”

Communications Director at Dransfield Properties, Amanda Holmes, said: “Richard is certainly hard to miss and incredibly focussed on his challenge and everyone on our team is really proud to be supporting him during 2018.

“We’re hoping to join him on one of his 10k runs later in the year and will be following his progress with great interest as he racks up the miles over the next 12 months.”

Park Steels frozen off at Kidsgrove but face Romulus at weekend AFTER having their away fixture against Kidsgrove Athletic called off due to a frozen pitch last Saturday, Stocksbridge Park Steels will be hoping to be back in action this week with a Senior Cup fixture against Maltby Main.

On Saturday January 27, it’s back to league action as they host Romulus at Look Local Stadium with a 3pm kick off. Your support is appreciated!

“Saying that we’ve done really well for 85 minutes, apart from five minutes when we came out second half, we were still in the changing room. It’s a little bit disappointing because the lads are better than that. It could have been a banana skin today and ended our unbeaten run, we’re now 14 unbeaten, our away form isn’t an issue we’re as good away as we are at home so I’m really pleased with that and it’s another point that is really good.”

Skipton 9 Stocksbridge 8 STOCKSBRIDGE suffered a narrow defeat in a low-scoring game as they lost 9-8 on the road to Skipton on Saturday.

Skipton gave a penalty away soon after the start of the game, giving the Pigs a chance to take the lead by kicking for the sticks.

The kick went wide but the ball remained in play. This lead to another penalty and this time Bowskill made no mistake, putting the travelling team in the lead by three points.

Skipton were soon back into the match and in a bid to defend the try line, Rowett entered the ruck from the side resulting in a yellow card for consecutive infringement giving Skipton a penalty in front of the sticks making the score 3-3.

Stocksbridge kicked off back to the home team and again Skipton put the pressure on with big runners in their centres.

An altercation led to Smith been sent off for foul play bringing Stocksbridge down to 13 men. Skipton were awarded a penalty in front of the sticks which went over bringing the score to 6-3.

It then took a good five minutes for Skipton to even look like utilising the two man advantage by conducting three forward carries and then passing the ball out to the winger who knocked it on sending the ball out. Despite the pressure, Skipton couldn’t find a way through and Rowett rejoined the action. The half ended 6-3.

Skipton continued to make carries in their backs but the Stocksbridge defence kept them in their own half.

They progressed to the top corner of the field where they were awarded a scrum five meters out but again Stocksbridge defended their line until giving away a penalty allowing Skipton to kick for the sticks again making the score 9-3.

Play resumed with Stocksbridge putting the pressure on Skipton, forcing them to make mistakes, seeing a knock on in their 22. A scrum al-

lowed Brown to take the ball at his feet and pass out to the wing which looked like Frith could score. Skipton found the speed and tackled him into touch, the line out was called not straight and Stocksbridge took a scrum.

Play continued with Stocksbridge pushing forward with both forward and back play. Kazmierski was stopped on his tracks by being bent in half and then a penalty was awarded to Stocksbridge allowing Frith to take a quick tap and go running towards a sleeping Skipton, although they weren’t back 10 meters the ref allowed play to continue giving Stocksbridge the upper hand to play their phases.

About 10 phases in, the ball was sent wide to Smith on the wing to score the first try of the game. The kick was not converted making the score 9-8.

Play resumed with further aggression coming from the Skipton team, presumably from frustration. Stocksbridge camped in the opposition’s 22 working for one another, attempting to get the second try. Stocksbridge were awarded two consecutive penalties but the aggression of Skipton kept the visitors out until they kicked to safety.

Stocksbridge continued to work as a solid unit of 14 men against the 15 that the home team had. Although Stocksbridge attacked and worked even harder to defend, they just couldn’t break the defence of the home team.

The extra man really worked in Skipton’s favour, on a different day with 15 against 15 the story could have been very different.

Man of the match was lock Samuel Whitaker.

Saturday January 27 sees the Pigs travel to Baildon who sit below them in the league. This is another must win game and with the way they’ve played in recent weeks the win is in reaching distance. Book a seat on the coach by searching Stocksbridge Rugby and commenting on relevant posts or messaging privately.
