Chesterfield’s assistant manager said Sylvan Ebanks-Blake and Kristian Dennis did what was expected of them as the Spireites won 2-1 at the Proact.
For Ebanks-Blake it was a first start of the season, having fallen down the pecking order at the Proact.
“I thought Sylvan was excellent, he led the line and played with a real intensity,” said Morgan.
“He’s not had a lot of game time of late so he probably tired a little bit late on.
“He showed a real good attitude and did what he does best, got a goal. He could have had a hat-trick.”
Morgan insisted the management team had not abandoned the experienced striker.
“He’s never really been out of the reckoning, he’s always been in the group, always trained,” he said.
“In pre-season and early part of the season a couple of other boys on the bench were a little bit in front of him.”
And Dennis’ name on the scoresheet was no surprise to Morgan.
“Kristian does that, he played at Matlock, similar sort of game to tonight, took a chance to impress and got a goal. He’s a goalscorer. That’s what he’s there to do.”
The EFL Trophy group stage game, which was watched by fewer than 1,000 at the Proact, was seen by the Spireites management as a chance to involve some of the youngsters at the club.
Morgan said: “It was a good opportunity for some of the younger players to get experience in the stadium in front of a crowd.
“It’s always good to get the young players involved, they’re always knocking on the door and it’s an opportunity to learn a bit about them.”
And he praised the opponents, who despite going down to 10 men in the first half gave Chesterfield a tough battle right to the end.
“I think everyone forgot second half we were playing against 10 men, I thought Wolves were excellent.
“We knew Scott (Sellars) would have his lads at it and they’ve got some good young players there.
“We knew it would be a test so we had to have a balance between experience and the younger lads.”
One player who only featured in the first half was Gboly Ariyibi, the subject of so much transfer speculation.
Morgan said there was no special significance in his withdrawal at the interval.
He said: “We had always planned on giving Dan Gardner and Gboly half a game but things change, Jon Nolan tired a little bit, felt a bit of tightness so Dan had to play the full game.
“Both widemen have started every league game so we wanted to give them half a game.”
With clubs like Barnsley and Brentford said to be very keen to land the winger before tomorrow night’s transfer deadline, Morgan is hoping for an uneventful Wednesday.
“Danny and I will probably be sat watching Sky Sports like everyone else, watching everything come up.
“Hopefully it is quiet.
“If people are making bids for our players it says we’re doing the right thing and producing good players. If you’re producing good players you expect people to keep an eye on them.
“We can’t control them. If bids come we have to deal with it.” | http://www.thestar.co.uk/sport/football/chesterfield-fc/chris-morgan-praises-trophy-goalscorers-hopes-for-quiet-transfer-deadline-day-1-8096907 | en | 2016-08-30T00:00:00 | www.thestar.co.uk/a6e55e31555e7150914107df3929c1de88355ba458d12af7979198b125475f85.json |

The presentation, primarily led by Detective Norris, explored the many reasons why young people join gangs, as well as preventative measures the city might take to mitigate future growth.
Detective Norris defined a gang as “a group that is individually or collectively engaged in antisocial, unlawful criminal activity to further [its own] economic or social status.” Gang activity runs the full gamut of criminality, from graffiti to human trafficking. In 2009, the Justice Department’s National Gang Intelligence Center estimated that gangs are responsible for nearly 80 percent of crimes nationwide.
Prince George’s County is home to some 300 gangs, ranging in size from three members to several hundred. Detective Norris called the county, “the east coast hub for MS-13,” although he said most of the activity happens outside of Hyattsville in bordering cities like Mt. Rainier, Brentwood, and Langley Park.
Detective Norris has been working on the county’s Gang Task Force since its creation in 2002. He said that his experience has taught him that good parenting is the key to keeping kids out of gangs, not necessarily extra-curricular programming.
“One of the problems is, that people want an easy answer. [They say,] ‘We want a program for intervention/prevention.’ Something like an extracurricular sports club. But when you ask 100 kids why they joined gangs, you’ll get fifty, sixty, seventy different answers. … They may have been raised to be a gang member, they may do it out of fear, or for love, or attention, or discipline, or money. You have to figure out what drove that kid to join a gang before you intervene. There’s no one program that will cover it,” he said.
Area schools have attempted to reduce gang membership through programs like G.R.E.A.T. (Gang Resistance Education and Training), which offer officer-instructed classroom curriculum on gang prevention, but such programs are costly and “have been proven to have almost zero effect,” said Detective Norris. Rather, he said, the best intervention programs start at home.
“There’s a common saying that a lot of people refer to: ‘It takes a village to raise a child.’ I understand the premise behind it, but I disagree with it,” said Detective Norris. “It takes parenting to raise a child, and I don’t mean two parents, or one parent, or both parents. It can be foster parents, or an aunt, a grandparent, or a mentor. There needs to be some kind of adult supervision in the home life of that child to teach the child right or wrong. Because what we have is a lot of kids at 13 or 14 years old and someone tries to instill some discipline in them and — best case scenario — they have no discipline. It’s almost impossible for the village to raise that child when there is nothing to support at home what that village is trying to raise.”
Detective Norris also said that`school officials need to be more honest with themselves about the extent of the gang problem in the county. “In the school system gang is a 4 letter word. … I have principals that say we don’t have gangs, we just have some gang graffiti. We have a presence, but not a problem. That’s like saying, ‘I have rat droppings in my house, but I don’t have rats,’” he said.
Parents and educators should immediately report suspected signs of gang activity, like graffiti and suspicious social media pages. Social media in particular has changed the way gangs operate. Adolescents tend to be more social media savvy, allowing young gang members to stay one step ahead of their parents and law enforcement. Social media also allows young gang members to connect with more experienced gang members outside of their neighborhoods.
“Social media has been a force multiplier, it allows gangs to communicate. Members can get to know people they might never have met before,” said Detective Norris.
With large international gangs like MS-13, the scope of this communication is especially dangerous. “We have gangs in Central America sending pictures and videos to MS-13 members up and down the East Coast in real time,” said Detective Norris.
The Police and Public Safety Committee will use September’s meeting to reflect on the detectives’ presentation and brainstorm solutions to the city’s gang issues. They will consider recommending parenting classes and other interventionist programs through the city’s Community Services and Recreation department.
Detective Norris left the committee with this final thought: “Law Enforcement can’t solve the problem alone. We can go arrest people every single day, but all we are doing is cutting the tops off dandelions in the lawn. They’re going to spread and they’re going to come back. … A lot of times people ask me to come to schools and talk to the kids about gangs, but I’d rather talk to the teachers. Talk to the parents. Like that saying, ‘Talk to your kids about gangs before we have to,’” he said.

Having worked in the Prince George’s County Public School system for the last 12 years as a teacher, a math specialist and most recently, assistant principal at Carrollton Elementary School, Bey was already interviewing at another PG County school when the deputy superintendent placed her in Hyattsville. And she’s “honored to be here,” Bey told the parents, students and staff members who packed the school’s cafeteria on Aug. 11.
Effective Aug. 1, Bey replaced Julia Burton, who has spent the last four years as HES principal and took a job closer to her home. The transition came as a surprise to many parents, who learned they were getting a new principal just a few weeks before school starts on Aug. 22. But judging by the size of the crowd at the meet-and-greet and the applause that followed many of Bey’s remarks, they were encouraged by her positive outlook for the school.
More than 60 parents and their children joined several HES staff members and Board of Education member Dinora Hernandez at the event sponsored by the HES Parent Teacher Association (PTA). “You guys were really curious about this new principal, right?” Hernandez said, as she looked around in awe of the large crowd.
The self-proclaimed “Brooklyn-strong educator,” Bey said she was working as a paralegal in New York when she was inspired to pursue a master’s degree in education from Hunter College. She took her first teaching job in one of the toughest neighborhoods in her native Brooklyn, where she said students “came with the willingness to learn and because [of that] I was willing to go there and duck bullets if I had to to make sure they were learning.” Bey and her family, which include husband Kareem, adult sons Ivan and Kareem, and teenage daughter Tamia, relocated to Prince George’s County in 2004.
Bey also shared her “preliminary” vision for the school, which is based not only on county goals, but on what she has seen and heard thus far from the community. One key goal is to ensure that all students are “literate learners,” meaning they aren’t just able to read but can use the information they’re learning in a meaningful way. And she says she’ll work to achieve that goal through a focus on “culture, data and performance.” In other words, she said she wants to use “different types of data” such as attendance records to determine how students learn and why they may not be performing in certain areas. Moreover, she said she wants to increase the involvement of parents and other community partners, and continue to bring more arts into the curriculum. “The building is full of artwork,” she observed. “While assessing the needs of this building, I’m going to see what I can do to make sure that we have more arts integration.”
That was a message that resonated with parents. “Continuing the arts is great. I think that was something that Ms. Burton did a lot for and sacrificed a lot for in terms of the budget to make that happen. So it sounds like that’s going to be played through, and that’s great because that’s what we all want,” said parent Lee Cain. “And I think one of the other things that’s really encouraging is how many people are here tonight.”
Joe Ludes, another parent and a former public school teacher who is on the city’s Education Advisory Committee, said one concern he hopes Bey will share with parents and address is the poor condition of the building, a matter that the PTA has put before the city council. “She’s just getting here, she hasn’t been a principal before anywhere, and I think having been an assistant principal, I’m sure she knows what she’s walking into, but she [still] has to get to the know the teachers and the community and the kids,” he added. | http://hyattsvillelife.com/new-principal-teresa-bey-meets-with-packed-room-at-hes/ | en | 2016-08-13T00:00:00 | hyattsvillelife.com/288e34ca21ca1490dc70e6b148e643c402e7c7ca38acde1d815b2956dfe0afbc.json |

Guests enjoyed complimentary glasses of wine, desserts by Batter Up Patisserie, hors d’oeuvres, and a champagne toast.
The Hyattsville Farmers Market is the oldest market in the county. It started in 1991 in the parking lot of Prince George’s Plaza. When the city agreed to take over the market three years ago, it moved to its current location in the parking lot of Redeemer Lutheran Church on East-West Highway.
Nicholson praised Wellness Programs Coordinator Ellarose Preston for her smart management of the market.
“If you’ve noticed, this market continues to focus on health and wellness initiatives,” said Nicholson. “It has some of the most creative programming we’ve ever had out here.”
Under Preston’s guidance, the Hyattsville Farmers Market became the first in the nation to obtain a grant through Share Our Strength: Cooking Matters, providing low-income families with $10 to spend at the market every week. With some vendors, like Knopp farms, that buys about a week’s worth of apples, onions, tomatoes, and potatoes for a small family.
Preston presented Robert “Bunk” Knopp and Cynthia Knopp of Knopp’s Farm with a certificate of appreciation for their continued support of the market. This year marks Knopp’s 13th season with Hyattsville, making them the longest-running vendor at the market.
“They are a staple,” said Nicholson.
Several city representatives attended the celebration including: Mayor Candace Hollingsworth, Councilmember Robert Croslin (Ward 2), Chief of Police Douglas Holland, and Assistant City Manager Jim Chandler.
Nicholson ended her remarks with a toast to Preston and the many vendors of the market.

Customers from all walks of life who frequented the shop were in attendance for the celebration.
Celebrated persons in attendance included Harry Clifton “Curley” Byrd, past president of Maryland University; Mr. Tingley, Postmaster of Hyattsville; Perry Wilkinson, past Speaker of the House of Delegates; Harry Shaw of the Washington Suburban Sanitary Commission; Carroll Beatty, past School Superintendent for Prince George’s County; Paris Glendening, former Governor of Maryland; John Moylan and Morgan Wootten, of DeMatha, and Robert Armentrout, former Mayor of Hyattsville.
Mayor Candace Hollingsworth and members of the city council were there as well. Mayor Hollingsworth presented a congratulatory certificate to the present owners. There have been four owners of the shop since its inception: Carl Taliferro, Gus Masincupp, Lin and Tina Nguyen.
Seventy-five years ago when the shop opened in 1941, World War II was in progress. The old DC Transit buses traveled along Queens Chapel Road taken residents to the Avondale bus terminal, where commuters would board the buses going into DC. At the bottom of Hamilton Street, where the West Hyattsville Metro Station is now located, stood the old Palmer Ford dealership. Mr. Palmer was also a customer of the Queens Chapel Barber Shop. The barber shop was considered the neighborhood social center.
Many long-time customers gathered to share fond memories. Customers like Randy Hamas, a Hyattsville native, has been a loyal customer since 1955. Hamas still remembers the .5 cents Coca-cola machine and the wooden telephone booth. Alan Jones has been a steady customer for 64 years and Jan Sanderson shared special memories of the shop. Sanderson used to accompany her grandfather to the shop. Frank Key of 32nd Avenue, remembers being in the shop as a toddler with his father, Melvin Key, who has been a barber at the shop for 50 years.
A commemorative banner now hangs outside the barber shop in recognition of the 75 years of the shop’s existence. | http://hyattsvillelife.com/neighborhood-barbershop-celebrates-75-years-of-service/ | en | 2016-08-28T00:00:00 | hyattsvillelife.com/c4b90ddadc5ab2d2e21f82897ebe4a4408a1bcaaadd5c3a9bd3a850d26fb7c66.json |

It starts Sunday, Aug. 14-Saturday, Aug. 20 and stores are gearing up for customers’ arrival.
Tax-Free Week includes apparel and footwear that is $100 or less. Accessory items, such as backpacks and jewelry, do not qualify. This year Maryland’s Tax-Free Week falls a week before kids go back to school and retailers are expecting school uniforms to be out of stock fairly quickly.
Some businesses are urging customers to buy children’s clothes before Tax-Free Week to guarantee their sizes will still be in stock. Old Navy currently has back-to-school sales that are up to 60 percent off.
“Customers know if they wait until next week a lot of their sizes will be out of stock. … It’s crazy even for younger girls’ clothes; we cannot keep the stuff in stock,” said a manager at Old Navy in the Mall at Prince George’s.
The busiest times usually are lunchtime, but during Tax-Free Week the times will change to 5 p.m., when customers are getting off of work.
At Jimmy Jazz at the Mall at Prince George’s, the manager, Ahmed Samura, said popular items include sneakers and any black color clothing including cargo pants. Samura expects the volume of customers to be high during the weekend when parents are shopping for back to school clothes.
The Mall at Prince George’s will have activities throughout the week including a back-to-school pep rally followed by a free immunization clinic for Prince George’s County Public Schools. The pep rally is Saturday, Aug. 20 from 10a.m.- 2p.m. and will feature local sports teams, bands and cheerleaders showing their talent and also fundraising.
The immunization clinic will be held Saturday, Aug. 20 from 11a.m.-3p.m. It’s open only for children entering kindergarten, seventh grade or repeating the ninth grade. The immunization will be for HPV, MMR-Varicella (chickenpox), Tdap, Meningitis, Varicella and DTaP-Polio.
Store employees are expecting a good turnout with busy days all week and suggest customers come earlier to find the best deals. Tax-Free Week is also accessible online, if you’re trying to avoid the crowds.

Look Out! | null | null | hyattsvillelife.com | BY LASHON BLAND — For many, back to school means stocking up on last-minute school supplies, early bedtime, and end of summer vacation. But for the Maryland Department of Transportation State Highway Administration (SHA), back to school is about safety. On Wednesday, Aug. 17, SHA held a press conference promoting back to school safety: “Look Up! Look Out! It’s Time for Back to School” at Rosa L. Parks Elementary School in Hyattsville.
Partnering with SHA were representatives from Prince George’s County, public schools, AAA, police, the Baltimore Orioles Bird, and the Bowie Baysox mascot to ensure the safety of everyone. Gregory Johnson, Maryland Department of Transportation State Highway Administrator urged pedestrians “to see and to be seen on roadways.” Johnson spoke about focusing on pedestrian safety.
The “Look Up! Look Out!” campaign encourages students and drivers to stay alert.
Representatives anticipate an increase in traffic and in pedestrians once school resumes and reminded everyone that it’s imperative to obey traffic laws, follow the directions of crossing guards, and to stop for school buses.
“Safety is our number one priority,” said David Hill, Operations Supervisor (North) Transportation Prince George’s County Public Schools. “We educate all of our bus drivers for pedestrian safety.”
To reinforce the message, “Look Up, Look Out – Stay Alert & Walk Smart,” the Baysox mascot Louie will visit Prince George’s County schools to demonstrate safe walking tips. Parents can enter their children’s schools to be chosen for the visits via the Baysox Facebook page now through Sept. 4. SHA and the Baysox will announce the winning schools Sept. 8. One of the winning schools will also receive a visit from the Oriole’s Bird.
Hector Velez, assistant chief at Prince George’s County Police Department, spoke about crossing guards and how they are some of the most dedicated people. Velez also stressed that the police department will focus on distracted drivers.
When asked about the Safety Patrol Program in schools, Joseph Beddick, Traffic Safety Services Manager, AAA Mid-Atlantic Foundation for Safety and Education said, “It works. Plain and simple.” Beddick attests to the positive impact of Safety Patrol programs in schools throughout Prince George’s County as well as other counties. “It’s a valuable tool to assist the school staff to get kids to school safely.”
Tara Lobin, principal at Rosa L. Parks Elementary School, discussed the significance of this back-to-school safety campaign: “This is extremely important. Ninety percent of our students are daily walkers. That’s about 800 students.” It’s also important to ensure “parents are aware of driving safety rules.” In discussing dismissal time, Lobin also noted that “Principal presence is important coming to and from school.”
As students head back to school, everyone has a role to play in keeping students safe this school year, so: Look Up and Look Out! It’s time for back to school.
To further enhance children’s safety, SHA offers the following tips:
For pedestrians:
Use sidewalks and marked cross walks whenever possible.
Press the pedestrian signal button and wait for the walk signal.
Always stop at the curb and look left, right and left before crossing a street.
Watch for cars turning in or leaving driveways.
Walk, don’t run across the street.
Wear light or bright colored clothing.
Look up and stay alert; take off headphones while walking – no texting or playing games.
For drivers:
Always stop for pedestrians.
Treat every intersection as a crosswalk, even when none is marked.
Obey traffic signs, signals and markings.
Stop for red lights; yield to pedestrians when making a right turn on red.
Observe posted speed limits. Speeding only makes it more difficult to stop for pedestrians.
Keep your eyes on the road. It’s illegal to use a handheld phone/device or text while driving.
When a school bus stops, the flashing red lights go on and the stop sign flaps come out, drivers in BOTH directions are required to stop. This is the most dangerous time, with children getting on or off the bus.
It is against the law to pass a stopped school bus with its flashing red lights activated and stop arm extended.
Drivers must be patient. There is simply no room for aggressive driving around a school or school bus. | http://hyattsvillelife.com/back-to-school-means-back-to-safety-look-up-look-out/ | en | 2016-08-23T00:00:00 | hyattsvillelife.com/44932b24f064a9e6f2cf6b0c38d93370ef124ebbd538c3a7018af9b598842bea.json |

The conversation was held at First United Methodist Church on Aug. 11. It was the first in a series of four community-building conversations with residents, to be held in local churches. About 40 residents and 15 officers and city officials attended.
If the conversation could be summed up in one sentence, it would be: We need to work together.
CPD Chief Douglas Holland began by citing some of the recent, national incidents involving police and said, “the levels of trust and the levels of partnerships have really, really gotten to a low level that we all, as a group, need to work on.”
Chief Holland talked about “the gap” between police and the communities they serve, saying “the main reason for being here tonight is for you to meet our officers, to get to know them in a non-enforcement situation, and to be able to just have a conversation.”
He spoke about how he and Mayor Candace Hollingsworth were invited, along with about 35 other jurisdictions, to a meeting at the White House to discuss the President’s Task Force on 21st Century Policing. The mayor and council have since formally adopted the President’s Task Force on 21st Century Policing as a guide for community-focused policing in Hyattsville.
Chief Holland went on to highlight some of the things the police department and city government already do to bolster their relationship with the public. The police open house, National Night Out Against Crime, Shop with a Cop, the department’s ride-along program, the citizen’s police academy, coffee with a cop, the school resource program, Neighborhood Watch, the numerous block parties that occur in the city that officers attend, and now these community conversations — all offer an opportunity to interact with police as people.
Along with the many events and programs, Chief Holland said the police department has adopted procedures to “try to increase our accountability and transparency.” The Police and Public Safety Citizens Advisory Committee, which provides advisement and feedback on issues related to community policing and public safety, was established in October. CPD has been conducting a body camera trial program that now has funding and the department will be issuing body cameras to every officer “very shortly,” he said. The department is also working to put more information on its policies and statistics online.
Chief Holland also spoke about training programs — some of which the department has never done before. All of the officers in the department have gone through a training called Fair and Impartial Policing, which places attention on acknowledging bias and working to recognize it so it doesn’t impact how an officer responds to a situation. All officers have also gone through Verbal Defense and Influence training, which has a focus on verbal de-escalation.
In their call for comments, both the mayor and the police chief asked attendees to be honest and straightforward and “tell us like it is” — and residents obliged.
There was a wide range of concerns raised by residents, including: more bike/foot patrols in neighborhoods; officer conduct and actions — speeding, approaching a vehicle with a hand on their gun or standing with a hand resting on their gun holster; frequent parties and drug activity; which agency to call and when; multiple cars parked on the street, blocking residents’ parking; officer retention with the department; “escalating violence” in West Hyattsville; outreach to the Spanish-speaking community; activities for school-aged youth in the summer.
One woman who lives just outside Hyattsville but has a Hyattsville address, spoke about two encounters with county police, one involving a call she made to police and one incident when police came to her door but she had not called them. “I want police to respond to the needs of the community and not presume things about what the needs are,” she said.
Another frustrated resident complained about the constant line of cars blocking her street and the lack of response she had received from police, parking enforcement and other city officials. “Enough is enough,” she said.
Chief Holland and other officers addressed each concern raised, took notes, and asked for those residents with specific complaints to speak with an officer and share more information after the meeting.
Chief Holland urged residents to call the police whenever they see anything suspicious, at the time the incidents occur and each time it happens. “Call all the time, call often. As many times as it is happening, we will keep responding.”
Cpl. James Denault followed up, saying, “We’re here 24 hours a day, seven days a week … every day of every year, we’re here. … Call. Call, call, call, call, call. … We are here to work for you.”
On the topic of outreach to the Spanish-speaking community, Chief Holland said that was “improving.” He spoke about recruiting specifically for Spanish-speakers and the bonus available for Spanish-speaking officers and city employees who are hired. He also noted that there is bilingual representation in each department. But he added, “we’re aware that we need to do better.”
While answering the question about officer retention, Chief Holland spoke about the competition for officers among the other city, university, county and federal agencies in the area. He talked about the standards of the department and the hiring process that involves, among other steps, two sets of interviews. He also announced the brand-new process for the first interview, which will now include at least one civilian as an interviewer.
Chief Holland ended by stressing the need for partnership. “This is not something that our police officers can do by themselves. It’s a three-legged stool: It has to be the police, it has to be elected officials, and it has to be you, the community. If any one of those pieces are missing, it ain’t gonna work, folks.”
Others in attendance agreed.
Bob Ross, the president of the Prince George’s County NAACP branch, said, “We’re in this together.” He went on to say he was pleased with the meeting and called it “the first step in establishing [a] good community relationship.”
A resident who spoke about going out to talk to young, homeless black men who hang out near her apartment complex said it wasn’t just police that needed to do something. “The community needs to get involved. … We need to participate.”
Col. Stephen Walker, Edmonston Chief of Police, said, “We can’t work without our community working with us, as a partnership.”
The next “Community Conversation” will be held Sept. 8 at First Baptist Church of Hyattsville at 7 p.m. | http://hyattsvillelife.com/community-conversation-focuses-on-police-community-partnership/ | en | 2016-08-18T00:00:00 | hyattsvillelife.com/7534df636b2a5cdb730f27aa1b9cdf98da40e5d6c92c7221cd3647a68d6e5064.json |

The Bedford County Sheriff’s Office of Bedford, Virginia, and the FBI also participated in the search. The Hyattsville City Police Department (HCPD) provided perimeter security during the search, but were otherwise uninvolved. MCPD reported that no evidence was obtained during the search.
Law enforcement identified the garage as a place of interest after a relative of Richard Welch, a resident of Hyattsville and a “person of interest” in the case, claimed to have seen him sexually assaulting one of the sisters there in 1975. Thomas Willoughby, the current owner of the property, could not be reached for comment.
Katherine and Sheila Lyon disappeared from Wheaton Mall on March 25, 1975. Their bodies were never found. After an intensive search for the girls in the months after their disappearance, the case went cold until 2013 when Montgomery County detectives reopened the files. A suspicious interview with former Hyattsville resident, Lloyd Lee Welch, caught their attention. A week after the girls’ disappearance, Lloyd Lee Welch confessed that he had seen the girls getting into a car with an adult male on March 25. Lloyd Lee Welch failed a polygraph test, but was ruled out as a person of interest until the case reopened in 2013. In 2015, Lloyd Lee Welch admitted to kidnapping the girls. He was charged with two counts of first-degree felony murder.
Lloyd Lee Welch, however, maintains his innocence in the murders. He told investigators that his uncle, Richard Welch, helped him abduct the girls from the mall, but then dropped Lloyd Lee Welch off at his home. Lloyd Lee Welch claims that he saw Richard Welch sexually assaulting one of the girls at the Willoughby garage the following day, but that he does not know what happened to them after that.
Although neighborhood sources identify the Willoughby House as a former place residence of Richard Welch and his family, Patricia Ann Welch, Richard Welch’s daughter, who was 8 years old in 1975, maintains that her family never lived at 5229 42nd Place. She reported that her grandmother, Gladys Welch, and her father’s brother, Luther Welch, lived on the property and that Luther Welch’s name “needs to be put out there.”
Patricia Ann Welch voluntarily took the police to the Willoughby property on June 30. She regularly speaks on behalf of her parents and meets with detectives “two to three times a month.” Welch said that she brought the police to the house in order to be candid and cooperative.
“They didn’t even know about the house until I told them about it. I’ve been helping them. I don’t understand why people won’t put it out there that we’ve been helping them. All they want to put out there is bad stuff,” she said.
The garage at 5229 42nd Place was packed full of junk the day of the investigation. A neighbor who observed the search said law enforcement “removed a fair amount of construction materials and other large items” including an old rusted automobile and pieces of broken furniture. The scene was busy with both uniformed and plainclothes officers moving in and out of the garage. Eventually, the officers returned all the large items that had been removed and left the premises.
Bill Greene, Director of Technical Operations for the Crime Scene Investigation Division of Prince George’s County Police Department said that for a cold-case investigation like this one, law enforcement likely would have been searching for DNA evidence connected to the crime.
“You’re going to look in potential areas that maybe have discoloration, or maybe they don’t because they’ve been cleaned up with bleach or detergent, or because time itself has bleached the surface. Nevertheless, you’re still going to swab it for a presumptive test for blood,” he said.
Although collecting DNA is more difficult in a cold case, Greene said there is hope some will be recovered in the Lyon sisters case. Greene’s lab helped close the case of the 1982 murder of Laurel resident Stephanie Watson. In 2013 Greene tested one of the blood stained seats of Watson’s car and positively identified the DNA of John Ernest Walsh. Walsh was sentenced to 33 years in prison in March 2016.
Patricia Ann Welch said she is not surprised the police left the search without any evidence. She said her father is innocent and Lloyd Lee Welch implicated him in the crime because “he has nothing else to lose. … Lloyd is 100 percent guilty; he’s already admitted it,” she said.
Welch said she brought the police to the house in an effort to be transparent, not because she believes Lloyd Lee Welch’s accusations.
“[Law enforcement] wanted to know everywhere that any of my father’s family lived, that way they can look for clues or evidence. If somebody kept something [from the crime]. You think I’m going to just skip over that place? No, because these cops are getting people on perjury charges. I’m going to tell it from the beginning and how I know it,” said Welch.
Patricia Ann Welch’s mother, Patricia Jean Welch, was found guilty of perjury on Aug.16. | http://hyattsvillelife.com/willoughby-property-searched-in-connection-with-lyon-sisters-cold-case/ | en | 2016-08-26T00:00:00 | hyattsvillelife.com/3b6bbc0b8414a6d84e69c7a553688233e4b287013bb2b4db0f5e993e1445c285.json |

The pep rally kicked off at center court with inspirational words from Mayor Candace Hollingsworth, who encouraged the students to, “be good to yourselves, each other, your teachers, and your families.”
The rest of the day included a flurry of activities all throughout the mall.
Northwestern High School cheerleaders performed in the center court, and the school’s jazz band and chamber orchestra performed in the food court as well.
Art Works Now hosted a DIY art activity at the JCPenny center court, while face painters and balloon clowns kept students entertained. Ronald McDonald made an appearance, as well. Along with fun and games, parents were able to sign up their children to receive the immunizations needed to start back at school right on the spot. | http://hyattsvillelife.com/photos-school-spirit-is-high-at-back-to-school-pep-rally/ | en | 2016-08-22T00:00:00 | hyattsvillelife.com/3452414f6b1ae40e8ff5cac45e5b9d0c2853ad1027f1cef7dc7d791678dc00f0.json |

CHESAPEAKE, VA. — Following every DeMatha Catholic High School football game, Head Coach Elijah Brooks gathers his team on the field. The players take a knee. Assistant coaches are invited to address the young men.
After Friday night’s season-opening 42-7 victory at Oscar Smith, the coaches’ message was clear: We’re proud of you, enjoy the win and come back ready to work hard Sunday.
“Get off your feet [Saturday]. Maybe go catch a high school game back home. Enjoy time with your family,” Brooks told his sweat-soaked players at hot and humid Beard-DeLong-Easley Field.
DeMatha earned the day off. It had just manhandled what is annually one of the finest high school football teams in Virginia. The Stags showed the Tigers and their legion of spirited fans why they are considered one of the finest programs in the nation.
DeMatha, ranked as high as seventh in the nation and No. 1 in the Washington area, racked up 481 yards of total offense, 298 on the ground. Senior quarterback Beau English completed every one of his passes.
Brooks improved to 5-1 in season openers since taking the reins from Bill McGregor in 2011. He was pleased to open 2016 with a dominating performance over Virginia Group 6A’s top-ranked club.
“Oscar Smith is a very good team,” said Brooks, a former running back in the Hampton Roads area at William and Mary. “Don’t let the score fool you. They’re well-coached and have a lot of talented players. I’m proud of how well we met the challenge.”
English was 11 of 11 passing for 167 yards and a touchdown. Nine of his completions came in the first half as DeMatha bolted to a 21-7 halftime lead. He added 63 rushing yards and two touchdowns in one of the top all-around showcases of his career.
The intersectional battle started at 6:57 p.m. on a day when the heat index rose to as high as 103. Action stopped a number of times to tend to players suffering from heat-related muscle cramps. One severely dehydrated player left by ambulance.
All in all, DeMatha handled the humid conditions well. The Stags also benefitted from wearing white uniforms, which reflect more of the sun’s rays. By contrast, the dark uniforms Oscar Smith wore absorb more sunlight.
DeMatha senior Delante Hellams said his team’s two-a-day practice schedule and summer yoga classes prepared them well to withstand the heat. The Stags also made a concerted effort to run their no-huddle offense at a lightning-quick pace.
“We like to kill teams with our tempo because that’s what we condition for in practice,” Hellams said. “People can’t stay with us.”
The Tigers, 13-1 last year, recovered a fumble on DeMatha’s opening drive and moved 52 yards in eight plays to the Stags’ 11.
DeMatha’s defense, led by Ohio State recruit Chase Young, pressured quarterback Shon Mitchell to misfire on three straight passes. Austin Benoit’s 28-yard field goal sailed wide left.
The Stags responded with an 80-yard drive highlighted by two English completions to junior wide receiver Dominic Lyles. One was good for 16 yards. The other for a 39-yard touchdown. Lyles beat two defenders over the middle and caught English’s aerial at the 4.
Senior Gregory Torcaso made the extra point to give DeMatha a 7-0 lead with 3:12 remaining in the first quarter. He sent the ensuing kickoff to Khalik Perry at the Oscar Smith 1.
Torcaso and sophomore Joseph Hood give the Stags two outstanding kickers. They are both capable of putting the ball inside their opponent’s 10-yard line.
“You don’t realize how valuable kickers are until you don’t have a good one,” Brooks said. “Fortunately we have two.”
The Stags, playing for the first time since finishing 11-1 and capturing their third straight Washington Catholic Athletic Conference championship, never trailed in Friday’s nonleague battle.
Senior Khory Spruill swept right untouched 9 yards into the end zone to make it 14-0. English ran one in from 41 yards out midway through the second quarter on a quick-snap rush that seemed to convince the Tigers that the play was either a dead ball or a penalty. Neither was the case.
English went up the middle, shook off one defender and ran unscathed to paydirt to give DeMatha a 21-0 lead.
“Everybody was a little confused, and I just took advantage of that,” he said. “My teammates did a great job of getting set, getting on the ball. After that I just tried to make a play.”
Oscar Smith showed how good of a team it will be this season late in the first half when it marched 92 yards to draw within 21-7. Mitchell completed passes of eight and 13 yards before finding Perry over the middle for 53 yards to the Stags’ 1. Jahmeek Jones scored two plays later for the Tigers’ only TD.
English punctuated a 15-play, 92-yard drive in the third quarter by running in from the 1. He completed a 14-yard pass to Lyles and an 18-yarder to Jermaine Johnson. He also scrambled for 12 yards to the Oscar Smith 2.
Spruill was barely touched on a 38-yard scoring jaunt, and senior Carlton Taylor rushed for 8 yards to account for DeMatha’s final points. Junior quarterback Tyler Lenhart led the 82-yard march, which included a 16-yard run by Spruill and a 13-yard scamper by Taylor.
Lenhart also rushed for 6 yards on a broken play and completed two passes. Hellams took a short one from Lenhart and went 36 yards to the Tigers’ 30.
English and senior tight end Grant Donaldson have committed to play at the U.S. Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs, Colo. Falcons coaches should enjoy hearing how English beat the Tigers with his arm, his feet and his command of the offense.
“Oscar Smith is a great team. We knew if we came in and trusted our preparation that they wouldn’t be able to stop us,” English said. “We can only stop ourselves. I’m not surprised with the result.”
The Stags host Avalon, a private school in Gaithersburg, Md., at Marvin F. Wilson Stadium in Landover on Friday at 7 p.m. The Black Knights lost their opener, 30-8, to St. Frances.
Minor Signing — DeMatha offensive lineman Marcus Minor announced on CSN Mid-Atlantic that he will sign to play for Maryland next year. The 6-foot-5, 291-pounder is considered a four-star recruit at tackle. He plans to major in broadcast journalism.
Anthony McFarland, who suffered a season-ending broken left fibula this month and will miss the season, is also reportedly considering Maryland. He attended Friday’s game with the aid of a wheelchair and crutches. The 5-9, 203-pound senior is ranked the fifth-best running back prospect in the nation.

She appeared in Bedford (Va.) Circuit Court on Tuesday morning for a plea hearing. According to WDBJ7 in Roanoke, Patricia Welch entered an Alford Plea, but was found guilty. In an Alford Plea, the defendant in a criminal case does not admit guilt, but acknowledges there is enough evidence for a conviction.
Patricia Welch was sentenced to two years but the sentence was suspended. She also received a $1,000 fine and five years of unsupervised probation.
Patricia Welch is the wife of Richard Welch, who police have called a person of interest in the case. She had been charged with perjury after her testimony before the multi-jurisdictional grand jury in 2014.
Prosecutors alleged that they had recordings of phone conversations in which Patricia Welch urged potential witnesses not to cooperate with investigators; however, she denied speaking to witnesses during her grand-jury testimony.
Lloyd Lee Welch, Jr., Richard Welch’s nephew, was indicted in 2015 on two counts of first degree felony murder in the kidnapping and killing of 10-year-old Katherine and 12-year-old Sheila Lyon in 1975.
Katherine and Sheila Lyon disappeared from Wheaton Mall on March 25, 1975. | http://hyattsvillelife.com/breaking-news-patricia-welch-found-guilty-of-perjury/ | en | 2016-08-16T00:00:00 | hyattsvillelife.com/c2c6a46191b90090e97e0c11d7a4049af24efc64ba7decf2f6538e879519fcbe.json |

The Lions won 2-1 against Sporting Khalsa last Wednesday but followed that up by being thumped 5-1 at Westfields on Saturday and then failing to break down Long Eaton United in a 0-0 draw on Bank Holiday Monday.
That left Clarence and his management team frustrated at too many players not performing to the required standard.
Clarence said: “Westfields have started well and will be up there all season as they’re very good going forward, but we knew that. We didn’t counteract them with what they can do or deal with what they’ve got.
“I feel let down. We haven’t got a big enough squad as it is and we were missing four out of what we do have.
“We brought a couple in on loan and still had enough quality but it wasn’t there against Westfields - certain people didn’t step up and weren’t up to standard against a very good side and when those factors get mixed together you can lose heavily, which is what happened.
“We haven’t got a very big squad but have given a few youngsters a chance during what has been a tough start in terms of the packed schedule against good opposition.
“The game against Long Eaton should have been over before half-time. We’re relying too much on one person to get the goals and it’s not good enough.
“We’re certainly looking to get more faces in to create competition for places. If players don’t take their chance then their place is under threat.
“The fact is that we’re disappointed with a 0-0 draw against a decent side like Long Eaton because we’re winners, and the same goes for three or four players who were disappointed too.”
Assistant manager Steve Huntington added: “We came in at half-time on Monday relatively pleased and having done well and I felt we were comfortable.
“We sent the lads out with the clear message to maintain the clean sheet and convert some chances. Their bench were constantly shouting about keeping a clean sheet which shows they’d probably come for a draw but we allowed them to get it.
“So it’s frustrating and again we weren’t good enough. It’s two points dropped and one or two players need to have a look at themselves.”
Matlock have had an inconsistent start to their Evo-Stik Premier Division season with only one win so far, but come into Saturday’s tie off the back of a 0-0 draw against another of Heanor’s local rivals, Ilkeston FC.
Clarence added: “There are no excuses. Everyone will want to play. It’s a one-off game and form goes out of the window and it’s about beating them and getting through.
“Hopefully we’ll have a good support behind us as it’s a massive game for the club.”
Should a replay be required from Saturday’s tie it will take place next midweek, otherwise the Lions will travel to Coleshill Town on Tuesday providing Coleshill also don’t need a replay from their FA Cup tie with Halesowen Town. | http://www.ripleyandheanornews.co.uk/sport/local-sport/coaches-disappointed-by-misfiring-lions-1-8095455 | en | 2016-08-30T00:00:00 | www.ripleyandheanornews.co.uk/b5cf644de4f315b607eb2b026af822f6cd73d239de6030d1a536217be067f650.json |

Chesterfield magistrates’ court heard on Friday, on August 26, of Jane Louise Williamson, 56, of Northwood Avenue, Darley Dale, Matlock, was spotted by police attempting to reverse as she collided with a parked vehicle and she had slurred speech.
Prosecuting solicitor Becky Allsop said: “Police were contacted by a member of the public who reported that they had seen a drink-driver.
“Police went to the home of the keeper of the vehicle and observed an Audi TT driving on to Northwood Avenue and it attempted to reverse park but collided with a Vauxhall Astra.”
Police revealed that Williamson had slurred speech and appeared drunk, according to Mrs Allsop, and the defendant registered 123microgrammes of alcohol in 100millilitres of breath when the legal limit is 35microgrammes.
Williamson pleaded guilty to exceeding the alcohol drink-drive limit after the incident on August 7.
The probation service explained that Williamson had drunk a bottle of wine but she had felt she was okay to drive because she has a high alcohol tolerance level.
Williamson also revealed to the probation service that she drinks when she is faced with difficulties and following a family argument she had drunk to excess.
Defence solicitor Bertie Mather said: “This experience has been a massive wake-up call for Mrs Williamson and brought to the forefront the potential dangers of driving when taking alcohol.”
Mr Mather added that Williamson who works as a student support teacher at a school and works at a shop has been concerned how the offence may affect her employment.
Magistrates sentenced Williamson to a 12 month community order with a Rehabilitation Activity Requirement and an Alcohol Treatment Requirement.
She was also given a three-month curfew and ordered to pay £85 costs and an £85 victim surcharge.
Williamson was also banned from driving for 30 months.

Yorkshire's latest Radio 1 stars The Sherlocks had a muddy great time at Leeds Festival - they drew a crowd of more than 6,000 fans then camped out with them.
The Sheffield indie four piece turned down a five star hotel and proved they are a real band of the people.
After packing out the Festival Republic stage they decided to pitched a tent in one of the muddy camp sites.
Frontan Kiaran Crook, aged 20, revealed: "We played our set then decided to camp through the night. We had an option to go into a five star hotel, with a jacuzzi and everything, but we decided to camp.
"We just love it."
He then joked: "We ended up camping next to the Red Hot Chili Peppers- I could hear Anthony snoring.
"But no, seriously, we love it. We love a bit of mud. We just thought, we might as well have the full festival experience."
Melvin Benn, Reading and Leeds Festival boss, said: "I didn't know The Sherlocks went and pitched up in the camp site. It doesn't surprise me. It's what my kids do. They want to be in the public camp site. Anybody who thinks the VIP area is the place to be, I can tell you it's a bit more boring."
Other Yorkshire bands who played at Leeds over the weekend included Sheffield's The Wired, Liberty Ship, Bang Bang Romeo, Leeds band Dusk, Fighting Caravans, York based Faux Pas and many more.
The Sherlocks, also featuring Kiaran's brother, drummer Brandon, 23, guitarist Josh Davidson, 22, and his brother and bassist Andy, 17, recently played the biggest music festival in the world, SXSW in Austin, Texas.
The Sherlocks played to over 6,000 people then camped out with fans in muddy fields at Leeds Festival.
They also played at Reading Festival at the weekend but said Leeds, their Yorkshire homecoming, was the highlight of their year.
Kiaran added: "Leeds Festival is really important to us. It's given us a chance to pick up new fans. We had a blast. The tent was packed. It exceeded what we thought it would be.We're going on tour next month, starting in Brighton and finishing in Stockton, with a sold out gig in Leeds.
"It would be nice to do the NME/Radio 1 stage next year, I think that's where we are heading."
Brandon added: "We are at home when playing Leeds festival. Now we need to get an album out while we've got momentum behind us."
The Sherlocks, who will record their debut album later this year, begin a 16-date UK headline tour later this week, including a sold out show at The Wardrobe in Leeds, on Tuesday, September 20.

Drummer vocalist Isaac Holman and band mate Laurie Vincent, on guitar and vocals, play Leeds Festival main stage on Sunday after Reading Festival on Saturday.
And they say northern fans are often more wild than anywhere else in the country.
"I don't know if we can take control of the Leeds crowd but I'll give it a good old go," laughed Isaac, promising fans 'blood, sweat and laughs'.

"We are a southern band so we did a bit better down south at first. But the northern crowds are even more wild for us now than down south sometimes. I think Leeds is going to go off.
"It's completely what I live for. I love playing live. It's the only time my mind goes quiet and I feel comfortable when I step out on stage. The more people there the merrier."
GET LEEDS AND READING FESTIVAL APP: Daily set times for Reading and Leeds Festivals are now live on the R&L App - iTunes and Android.
Slaves are on the same bill as Red Hot Chili Peppers. Imagine Dragons and Courteeners.
Other superstar bands playing this weekends include Biffy Clyro, Fall Out Boy, Foals, Disclosure, The Vaccines and Chvrches - along with rising local stars, such as South Yorkshire's own Radio 1 hitmakers The Sherlocks. Leeds Festival is set to attract around 80,000 people.
Isaac, who also revealed they still get starstruck, said it will be a highlight of their year which also includes a 15 date UK headline tour in November and the release of next album Take Control on September 30.
Isaac added: "Sometimes you get starstruck. Me and Laurie definitely do fanboy some people we meet. But the more you get into the scene you realise everyone is just a person and it becomes a little bit more normal.
"We've worked our way up through the stages. Being main stage is like another level - Leeds and Reading were the festivals we went to when we were younger and I don't think we ever imagined we would be on the bill let alone on the main stage. It's brilliant."
Slaves, from Royal Tunbridge Wells, Kent, will be laying waste to venues across the country as they launch into a full UK tour in November. Yorkshire dates include Leeds O2 Academy on Tuesday, November 15 and Sheffield O2 Academy, on Friday, November 25.
See full tour, ticket details and album download links links below.
Slaves earned a reputation for themselves as one of the UK’s fiercest live acts with their constant touring and festival appearances off the back of last year's debut album, Are you Satisfied?
Their next hit album in waiting was part recorded at Jackson Browne’s studio in Santa Monica, California.
Take Control was produced by one of the legends of early hip hop and New York punk, Mike D who, says Laurie, “Became like another member of our band – we can safely call him our friend, which is just surreal!”
The album finds the young pair sharpening up their skills, both in songwriting and in execution and sounding heavier in places.
Several tracks on the album were recorded on vintage equipment used by the Beastie Boys on their classic records, Including STD’s PhD’s, Angelica and Consume Or Be Consumed.
Recorded back home in London, Steer Clear was a collaboration with another hero, Baxter Dury, who lent his distinctive vocals to a duet with Isaac.
Slaves first emerged in 2012, working their way up through the local toilet-venue circuit to become one of the success stories of 2015.
The band’s debut album Are You Satisfied? smashed in to the UK top 10 and earned the band huge critical acclaim. Thanks to their charismatic mash-up of punky urgency and silly humour, they bagged Kerrang!’s Spirit Of Punk award and NME’s Best Video award (for Cheer Up London), while also securing nominations for the Mercury Music Prize, and for Best New Band at Q and NME.
Along the way, they’ve won the hearts of The Streets’ Mike Skinner, stolen the show on last year’s NME tour, had Skepta join them on stage at Radio 1’s Big Weekend and toured with Jamie T and Wolf Alice – the latter in America in March, after which Wolf Alice’s drummer Joel Amey bunked off to California to play on new track People That You Meet.

Think the English country house with the obedient Labrador, tatty leather luggage, stuffed animal heads, the hit films Gosford Park and The Shooting Party.
Country pursuits brings to mind hunting, shooting and fishing and items from these areas will be well represented at the auction. With Derbyshire being a county of real importance for all these, having grouse moors in the north, a hunting tradition extending back into the eighteenth century and famous rivers, the Dove, Derwent and Trent marking its boundaries, there will be a wealth of interesting items featured in the auction.
Past sales have included equestrian equipment, boots, saddles and more, sporting firearms, from wildfowling pieces through shotguns to air weapons, fishing tackle from rods, reels, creels and baskets down to the smallest accessories and lures. Not just the essential equipment needed for the active participation but also paintings and other works of art, prints, books, catalogues, hip flasks, diaries and other documentation.
Taxidermy is much in demand, particularly with interior designers and has featured strongly in recent auctions. A stag head recently sold for £760. Stuffed fish are also hotly contested at auction, particularly those by famous taxidermists such as Cooper and Sons. An Edwardian period pike in a bow fronted glazed case sold for £1,800 last year. Watch out for fakes though as some ‘fish’ are in fact caved in wood, although these are a more affordable collectors item.
Let us not overlook other countryside activities, farming and the essential crafts needed to maintain those iconic views we all hold dear. The work of our Derbyshire dry Countrystone wallers and hedge layers always attract interest and comment.
The Hansons country pursuits auctions include rural bygones, vintage agricultural and domestic tools - all that go to present a complete picture of country life as it was, as it is and as it continues to be.
Do you have any items by Westley Richards, Ustonson, B James, Sharpes, and Bruce and Walker combine with those from Malloch, Abu, Milward, Ogden Smith and Edgar Sealey? Or high quality modern fishing tackle too, made by the likes of Orvis, Sage, Hardy, Farlow, Thomas and Thomas, and Shimano? Entries are now being invited for the auction at Hansons Etwall Salerooms on September 26 with entries closing on August 31.
Please contact Hansons for further details on fishing@hansonsauctioneers.co.uk or phone 01283 733988. | http://www.ripleyandheanornews.co.uk/news/local/column-country-collectables-to-go-under-the-hammer-1-8089108 | en | 2016-08-25T00:00:00 | www.ripleyandheanornews.co.uk/88d229bcd5cfb6986febe0d52237c9ec5c23cccdc6bfae7619c0c1b2234fd9da.json |

For too long though, the apprenticeship route has been looked at as the second class route to qualifications and preparation for a career. University is still perceived as the best way to get ahead of the game by many.
We need to get over this perception and celebrate all the benefits apprenticeships offer. Apprenticeships can take you just as far if not further than studying full time at university. Learning and earning not only delivers the qualifications employers are looking for, it gives that valuable experience that can make you stand out. Teachers, parents and young people probably still have the perception that apprenticeships are associated with blue collar, practical jobs. The government’s ‘Get In Go Far’ campaign aims to challenge those myths and show the range of apprenticeships available and where they can lead. For more visit: www.getingofar.gov.uk.
I was an apprentice myself in one of those ‘get your hands dirty’ kind of jobs but learning in this way sparked a passion in me and I was the first in my family to go to university. I come across lots of other passionate young people doing some exciting and unusual apprenticeship roles with us who are destined for great things. | http://www.ripleyandheanornews.co.uk/news/local/column-college-principal-explains-earning-and-learning-benefits-1-8090132 | en | 2016-08-27T00:00:00 | www.ripleyandheanornews.co.uk/2557819b847a1c292a80cb74364ef2acd69b34526a9bea8333c1ac85c55397b3.json |

Sadly, that isn’t the case in this day and age. Breeding operations place more emphasis and value on speed than the kind of stamina attributes required to win Doncaster’s historic race. A Champion Stakes or the Arc are more likely to be on the agenda of the top 10f and 12f 3yos, rather than a tilt at the 14f Classic. So there is little chance of revisiting the days when Guineas, Derby or Oaks winners in the mould of Oh So Sharp (1985), Reference Point (1987) and User Friendly (1992) landed the spoils.
However, the Ladbrokes St Leger is still a big deal. It is still the jewel in the crown of a four-day festival ranked among the best in the country. One that will attract more than 65,000 enthusiastic racegoers to Town Moor next week and equate to a £25 million shot in the arm for the Doncaster economy.
It might have become fashionable to knock the race in some snooty quarters. But Leger Day is a day out beyond compare for the many doyens of Donny. And let’s face it, the race is still a Classic, for heaven’s sake. The oldest too, dating back to 1776, and one that still forms the last leg of a Triple Crown, as revered as it elusive.
Who can forget the fervent anticipation of four years ago when the crowds flocked to witness Camelot’s bid to become the first horse since Nijinsky way back in 1970 to land the Guineas/Derby/Leger hat-trick? And equally the burst-balloon-type deflation of Aidan O’Brien’s colt failing.
Who can forget either the high drama of just 12 months ago when the winner, Simple Verse, was controversially disqualified on the day, only to win the race back on appeal, leaving O’Brien, trainer of the runner-up-come-winner-come runner-up, Bondi Beach, with more heartache?
Oh yes, the St Leger continues to give, make no mistake about that. So what might the race have in store this time round?
Not surprisingly, it again revolves around O’Brien, the best trainer in the business. Notwithstanding his disappointments of 2012 and 2015, he has saddled four winners since 2001 when Milan strode to probably the most impressive victory I have seen of the great race. And a week on Saturday, he will send out the red-hot favourite, IDAHO, third in the Derby and winner of York’s Great Voltigeur Stakes, one of the main trials for the Doncaster showpiece.
A class act, the son of Galileo is almost sure to win if he stays the 14f trip. But his pedigree, his style of running and the patient way he is generally ridden instil sufficient doubts to suggest you should cast your net in search of better value.
There is still time for supplementary entries to throw a spanner in the works. But at present, Idaho’s chief rival in the market is MUNTAHAA, trained by another successful patron of the race, John Gosden, who has fielded three winners since 2006. Another not exactly bred to relish the Doncaster distance, he has made rapid improvement this term, culminating in a taking pillar-to-post triumph over 13f at Chester two weeks ago. It was only a Listed handicap, but the son of Dansili had to defy a mammoth mark of 108 against older, more seasoned rivals and also the tight turns of a track far from sure to suit such a big, long-striding colt. He’s a player.
Two horses who were behind Idaho at Epsom, RED VERDON and ALGOMETER, might well get closer faced with an extra 2f, and don’t rule out the favourite’s own stablemate, HOUSESOFPARLIAMENT, reversing Voltigeur placings. He is guaranteed to stay and will relish the galloping expanse of Town Moor. Similar comments apply to a third O’Brien contender, Royal Ascot winner SWORD FIGHTER, while ORMITO is no mug and VENTURA STORM would have to be considered if the ground turned on the Soft side.
It’s a head-scratcher that makes punters grateful the Leger Festival is not all about the main event. Classy, competitive racing abounds on all four days, while the Leger Legends contest on the opening day, featuring past jockeys, continues to delight the crowds and raise valuable money for racing charities in equal measure. Last year, it was won by Tony McCoy no less. This year, two more ex-champions, Richard Hughes and Joseph O’Brien, Aidan’s son, are in the line-up.
Day two on the Thursday is DFS Ladies’ Day, highlighted, appropriately, by a couple of Group races for fillies, the Park Hill Stakes, where Sir Michael Stoute’s ABINGDON will be primed to continue her progression, and the Sceptre Stakes, which has been earmarked by Charlie Hills for his lightly-raced 3yo, JADAAYIL.
The historic Doncaster Cup for stayers is the star attraction on the Friday when PALLASATOR will be a warm fancy to repeat his 2015 success. Vying for the limelight are three crack 2yo contests, including the Flying Scotsman Stakes won so spectacularly by the mighty Frankel six years ago. The 5f Flying Childers Stakes could throw up a thrilling duel between the unbeaten filly MRS DANVERS and Mark Johnston’s YALTA, while the Mallard Handicap on the same day might be a target for Roger Varian’s MONOTYPE.
The supporting card on Leger Day itself includes the Champagne Stakes, one of the leading juvenile heats of the season, in which RIVET and PEACE ENVOY would be interesting, and the 7f Park Stakes, which might yield as striking a winner as last year with NEMORALIA aiming to follow in the footsteps of Limato.
I’m hoping too that there might be openings over the four days for ANOTHER TOUCH, HAGGLE, EL VIP and CARTMELL CLEAVE. If not, best of luck in finding a few winners of your own.
Spectacular autumn schedule ensures the Flat season no longer fizzles out
Autumn is fast approcahing, but gone are the days when the Flat season fizzled out during September and October. On the contrary, next week’s Ladbrokes St Leger Festival at Doncaster is followed by a veritable feast of action across the world to wrap up what has been another compelling campaign on the level. Newmarket’s under-rated three-day Cambridgeshire meeting is swiftly followed by a sensational Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe day in France. Back to Newmarket it is for the two day Future Champions extravaganza. On to Ascot next for the Qipco Champions Day finale, and we haven’t even mentioned the global giants of the Breeders’ Cup in the USA and the Melbourne Cup in Australia. I love Jumps racing as much as the average racing Joe, but I couldn’t even have a National Hunt horse on my mind until late October at the earliest.

Swindon, inspired by Don Rogers, defeated mighty First Division club Arsenal 3-1, humbling the illness-hit Gunners in heavy rain on a mudbath pitch.
Not many football fans do, even those with rose-tinted, nostalgia-laden spectacles like myself, who love a delve back into the past and the ‘good old days’.
Do you remember Bradford City, again from the third tier, making the 2013 final, defeating Premier League Aston Villa in the semi-final before a 5-0 trouncing by Swansea City at Wembley in the final?
No, to be honest, I had also forgotten. Just like I had forgotten that a year later MK Dons defeated a youthful, but still strong, Manchester United in the opening round. I say defeated, but actually they hammered them 4-0!
The reason those giantkillings don’t seem to stay in the memory banks of the neutrals is because the competition has never had the romance and general appeal of the FA Cup.
We might have forgotten Swindon’s 1969 heroes, but I bet, like me, that many of you will recall the day non-league Hereford United, for example, knocked then top-tier, First Division Newcastle United out of the FA Cup.
Ronnie Radford’s screaming 25-yard drive to equalise England international Malcolm McDonald’s late goal lives long in the memory, as does Ricky George’s winner for the minnows.
We may have forgotten already Bradford’s run to the 2013 final, but many more fans will recall Chesterfield’s FA Cup semi-final adventure, even though that was almost 20 years ago.
That is one of the reasons why, reluctantly, I think it might be time for footballing authorities to scrap the League Cup — or whatever it is called these days after it has undergone more regenerations than Dr Who because of sponsorship requirements.
Giving the winners an automatic place in the Champions League, scrapping replays , regionalising the early rounds, scrapping the two-legged opening round — none of the recent changes have made the competition more appealing to the fans, clubs or players.
This year’s competition was seen as even more of an irrelevance by lower league clubs because of the changes to the EFL Trophy and the addition of two more matches into the football calendar.
No wonder so many managers ‘experimented’ with their team selections for the matches. No wonder there were so many empty seats in the stands up and down the country — for example, just 1,400 watched Chesterfield lose at Rochdale.
If the clubs and players are not going to treat the League Cup as a major priority than why will the fans?
Even the final no longer has top billing on the day it is held as it vies for TV coverage with the Premier League.
I know that traditionalists — like I usually am — will scream foul. I know it gives some lower league clubs the chance to topple ‘the big boys’ or go to grounds that they would normally not get the chance to visit.
For example, in this year’s second round League Two Accrington Stanley toppled Premier League Burnley and League One Gillingham won at top-tier Watford.
And in the first round Stevenage from League Two went to Championship Ipswich and won, while Cambridge — also from the fourth level of English football — pulled off a surprise by toppling Sheffield Wednesday from two leagues higher.
Not to mention Luton Town’s fightback to continue Aston Villa’s slide from the Premier League to Championship mediocrity.
As a Mansfield Town fan and reporter back in the 1980s I was lucky enough to go to Stamford Bridge, for example, as the Stags held the stars of the then First Division 2-2 at home and then lost 2-0 in London. No disgrace, a great evening out and great memories — for players, the club and fans alike.
So I fully appreciate the excitement that this competition can bring.
But in these days of an ever-expanding football schedule — and the opportunity for fans to watch the topsclubs live every weekend via their television screens — not to mention the cost of leisure activities in general, perhaps it is time to end the competition and let the FA Cup have an even greater focus.
The FA Cup is fighting hard for relevance and exposure as the Premier League sweeps all before it.
Scrapping the League Cup might give it a boost as well as allowing lower league clubs a little breathing space in the hectic list of matches now added to by the minimum three games in the EFL Trophy. | http://www.ripleyandheanornews.co.uk/news/opinion-scrapping-league-cup-would-give-clubs-breathing-space-1-8089870 | en | 2016-08-25T00:00:00 | www.ripleyandheanornews.co.uk/eb26b4f0b8ce4b38d511ca4d9552c677d502dc72c52a8fc1dba1d683419e7e5d.json |

Alfie Skinner was one of the top achievers with seven As and two Bs. He said: “I’m really happy. I wasn’t sure about what I was going to get. I didn’t think I’d done so well in some of my exams but there was a couple I thought I had done well in.
Archie Paskin with his results.
“It was just in this last week that I started to feel nervous as people kept reminding me that results day was coming up. I was very nervous and didn’t get much sleep. I went in with my friends Josh and Ben to get my results. I was surprised when I opened my results and I texted my dad and rang my mum, she said she was really happy that I’d done so well.”
Alfie is staying on at The Amber Valley Sixth Form, which is based at The Ripley Academy and is run in partnership with John Flamsteed School, in Denby.
Josh Lomas, 16, of Ripley, achieved four As and five Bs and said he was thrilled with his results.
He said: “I put a lot of hard work into the exams so I feel like it has all paid off now. There have been a lot of nerves so I just feel relieved now.
Ripley Academy pupils Alfie Skinner, Ben Proudler and Josh Lomas with their GCSE results.
“I felt like my exams went well but as the summer went on I’d forgotten how I’d done so I didn’t know what to expect. I have managed to switch off a bit as I’ve been working with the National Citizen Service raising money for charity. We’ve been organising car washes and cake sales and so far we’ve raised about £250. That’s taken most of the summer up.
“Last night the nerves really kicked in but I did manage to sleep. I went into school with my friends and we picked up our results together. When I opened the envelope I was quite surprised, particularly with my Product Design grade which was much better than I expected.”
Josh will be staying on at The Amber Valley Sixth Form and is hoping to attend university and pursue a career in accountancy.
Other success stories at The Ripley Academy included Ben Proudler who achieved one A*, four As, two Bs and two Cs; Archie Paskin with six As, two Bs and one C; and Alisha Brearley who scored one A*, two As, four Bs and two Cs.
Joe Ryde, Mia Gilbert.
Carey Ayres, Principal at The Ripley Academy, said she was proud of all of the GCSE students.
She said: “Our students have worked so hard to achieve these results and we are proud of each and every one of them.
“We wish them every success for the future and we are hoping to see many of them in two weeks when the new term starts at The Amber Valley Sixth Form.”

The 33-year-old Palladino has committed himself to a two-year contract that will keep him at the club until the end of the 2018 season. Alongside his playing duties with the first team, he will also take up a coaching role.
Palladino has claimed 258 wickets across all formats for Derbyshire since joining the county from Essex in 2011.
So far this season, he has bagged 26 wickets at an average of 36 in 11 Specsavers County Championship games, with his best bowling figures being 5-83 against Glamorgan.
Head coach John Sadler said: “Tony is one of our most experienced and knowledgeable players in the dressing room and can offer a lot, both on and off the field. He continues to take wickets and provides us with a consistent and reliable performer with the ball. He will now also play a key role in coaching and providing advice to the younger guys in their developments.”
Palladino said: “I’m delighted to sign the new two-year deal. I believe I still have plenty to give both on the field and also helping the guys off it as we push for success.”
Meanwhile Cork, son of ex-England all-rounder and Sky Sports TV pundit Dominic Cork, has signed a one-year contract extension with Derbyshire until the end of the 2017 season.
Cork, who made his first-team debut in 2014, has played 13 games for the county, taking 13 wickets with best bowling figures of 2-17 against Somerset in a List A fixture in 2015.
The 21-year-old has played 19 games in total for the second XI this term, scoring 362 runs, including a highest score of 73 against Lancashire. He has also claimed 17 wickets, with best bowling figures of 3-21 also coming against Lancashire.
Sadler said: “Greg has worked extremely hard over the summer, and his game continues to improve. He’s taken wickets and scored runs for the second XI this summer and is developing into a genuine all-rounder across all forms.
“Greg may have had limited opportunities in the first team this season, but we believe he has plenty of potential and can produce matchwinning performances for Derbyshire in the future.” | http://www.ripleyandheanornews.co.uk/sport/local-sport/fresh-deals-for-derbyshire-duo-tony-palladino-and-greg-cork-1-8094015 | en | 2016-08-29T00:00:00 | www.ripleyandheanornews.co.uk/868715a437cc8e6ec420af95486574cd972211f6204236c8f6a34fb62b4d6112.json |

Chesterfield magistrates court heard how James Parnell, 24, formerly of Gipsy Lane, Old Whittington, Chesterfield, admitted punching Kelsey Darby in the face after she had threatened to throw a cup of water at him to calm him down.
Prosecuting solicitor Rod Chapman told a court hearing earlier this month that Kelsey Darby and Parnell lived together and both stated they have grumpy moods and they were in a bad mood on the morning of July 7.
Mr Chapman added: “An argument started almost immediately as they awoke. Miss Darby threatened to calm the defendant down by throwing a cup of water at him.
“Parnell asked her how she would like it if he threw a cup of water at her and he got the cup and got in her face and he threw his arm and made contact with her face.”
Parnell told police he had snapped and had hit his partner with his fist maybe twice to the face.
The defendant, who moved to Codnor Drive, Newbold, Chesterfield, pleaded guilty to assault after the incident on July 7.
Defence solicitor John Wilford had said that both the defendant and the complainant had previously been referred to a domestic violence support team after they had both received a caution from a previous incident.
He added that they did not visit the support team which Parnell now regrets.
Magistrates sentenced Parnell on August 24 after considering a probation report.
He was given a 12 month community order with a Building Better Relationships programme and a Rehabilitation Activity Requirement.
Magistrates also sentenced Parnell to 180 hours of unpaid work and ordered him to pay £85 costs and an £85 victim surcharge.

Neighbours pay tribute to murdered Derbyshire backpacker Mia Ayliffe-Chung
Friends of the young woman have set up the crowdfunding page to support her family at this painful time, and have already raised over £3,000 of their £5,000 target.
Judith Ryan said on JustGiving: "Following the horrific murder of Mia in Australia yesterday we would like to offer some kind of assistance to Rosie and the rest of Mia's family with any expenses that may come up so please, even if it is just a couple of pounds, lets try and help."
Mia's family paid tribute to the 'amazing young woman with an adventurous spirit'.
In a statement on behalf of Mia's mother Rosie Ayliffe, her partner Stewart Cormack said: "Mia was full of the kind of open-minded compassion for life that you don't see that often. It felt as though she was reminding us all of the beauty and possibilities we each have that we should live life to the full.
"Mia was a rare person who saw beyond race, creed and belief. She would always treat others with dignity, respect and kindness.
"As a peaceful person Mia had huge respect for everybody. She would not want to be the reason for any hostilities caused by any misrepresentations of the events."
Her sister, Nicola Chung, said from their father Howard Chung-Yep's London home: "She was bubbly, carefree and had trained to be a nanny because she loved children."
Scarthin Books, where Mia worked in Cromford between her studies, paid tribute to her on Facebook. A post read: “We're all deeply shocked and saddened to learn of the tragic death of Mia, who had worked in the bookshop cafe during her studies as a high school pupil and as a college and university student. She was a much-loved and highly respected young woman and our thoughts go out to her family and many, many heartbroken friends. We feel immensely privileged to have known and worked with her.”
Police said the young woman - a former Chesterfield College and Buxton & Leek College student - received multiple stab wounds, and a post-mortem examination is due to be conducted today.
Sources have suggested Mia was dragged from her bed by Ayed - a kickboxer who is said to have been obsessed with Mia, and reacted when he found out her feelings were not mutual.
Popular young woman missed by so many friends
Mia went to Anthony Gell School in Wirksworth and Ecclesbourne School in Duffield. She had studied a course in childcare at Buxton & Leek College and is believed to have been travelling in Bali before visiting Australia for the second time in a year.
Head of Pastoral Care at Anthony Gell School in Wirksworth, Paul Lovett, said: “Everyone at the school is shocked and saddened at the news that Mia has lost her life in the most tragic of circumstances. We knew Mia as a student with so much joy and energy who was well-liked by her friends and teachers.
“She joined our school in Year 9 and flourished here both in making strong friendships and in achieving high level GCSEs. Mia was a bubbly student who was energetic, caring and who immersed herself in life, enriching the school environment she contributed to. Our thoughts are with her family and friends at this most difficult of times.”
Rachel McVeigh, Childcare leader at Buxton & Leek College, said: “Mia studied Childcare and Education at Buxton & Leek College from 2012 – 2014. She was a bright and hardworking young lady, whose bubbly personality and sense of humour endeared her to everyone she encountered. Mia had a zest for life and was free spirited, with a keen desire to travel. We are devastated and extremely sorry to hear such tragic news. Our thoughts are with her family and friends.”
The Foreign and Commonwealth Office said: "We are working with local authorities and providing support to the families of a British national who was killed and another critically injured in an incident in Australia. Our thoughts are with the family at this difficult time”.

Strictly's most successful couple, now parents to one-year-old Valentina Rose, are returning to their family's City Limits Dancentre studio in Penistone Road, Sheffield.
They will take part in free taster sessions on Saturday, September 3, from noon to 2pm. Full details and more at www.city-limits.co.uk
City Limits is run by Sheffield born Darren's parents, former dance champions, Tony and Judith, and his twin brother Dale.
Darren, aged 39, and his Moscow wife Lilia, 37, are the most successful competitor couple of their generation, winning four British amateur championships, three UK championships and representing Great Britain at the World and European Championships.
They turned professional in 2003, winning the British National Professional Championship two years running and made the final of the World and European Championships.
But they became household names when they joined the cast of Strictly Come Dancing in 2004 and won the show in consecutive years.
At his first attempt Darren, dancing with Jill Halfpenny from Eastenders, won the show and then went on to win the Champion of Champions dance off.
In 2005, Lilia waltzed off with the title while partnering Barnsley's own former Yorkshire and England cricketing star Darren Gough, after which they also went on to win the International Christmas special.
They went on to host their own West End show, Latin Fever, which they toured nationally and are today still regarded as one of Britain’s finest Latin American dance couples.
More recently they have worked on the Turkish and Lebanese versions of the Strictly TV show, Darren, born in Deepcar and brought up in Todwick, as a judge and Lilia as a consultant choreographer to the professional dancers.
Darren has also consulted on Danse Avec la Stars, the first series of the French version of Dancing with the Stars.
As well as being successful competitors and performers they have built up an International reputation as coaches, choreographers and first class trainers in both dance and corporate arenas.
They have also trained many of the top junior, youth and amateur couples, including the British Junior champions and No. 1 youth couple in the UK.
Darren's twin Dale said: "Strictly is back and we have Darren and Lilia joining us for an open day, with free taster sessions for children and adults to come along and see what being a student at City Limits is like.
"Fans can take part in one of our Ballroom and Latin classes led by Darren and Lilia.

Every year, YMCA Derbyshire helps hundreds of troubled young people aged between 16 and 25 get their lives on track by offering them education and accommodation.
“We take young people from the chaotic to contributing members of society,” Grace Harrison, fundraising communications manager for the charity, explains.
The Young Men’s Christian Association was founded in London in 1844 by Sir George Williams and the Derbyshire branch was set up shortly afterwards in 1847.
Nowadays the Christian organisation caters for young people indiscriminate of their faith or gender with the mantra, ‘protect, trust, hope and persevere’, which is taken from Corinthians 13: 4-7.
Grace continues: “We protect them, we trust them to make the right choices, we hope for their future and we persevere for them.”
She explains that the charity may help a young person more than once and persevere to help them overcome their troubles.
The YMCA has education and training centres in Ashgate Manor, in Chesterfield, Coronation Street, in Ilkeston, and various locations in Derby.
“We can offer maths and English GCSEs, we offer a lot of vocational training, hospitality, computer skills, health and safety,” Grace says.
“We track the jobs market to see where the most opportunities are and we offer training to meet that. That way we give young people the best chance of getting a job.”
The organisation works with employers throughout the county to offer young people work experience. An example of this is a group of ten young people who are currently carrying out work experience at Toyota in South Derbyshire, where they are working in various different sectors, such as catering, security and administration.
Young people learning catering are also able to put their skills into practice through the charity’s own learning kitchen in Derby.
They are often called upon to cater large events and will be doing so for a fundraising evening being held later this month, due to be attended by the High Sheriff of Derbyshire, Lord Lieutenant of Derbyshire and managing director of Toyota among the 200 guests - the aim of which is to raise £15,000 for the charity.
Grace explains that the YMCA is a college, and like all other colleges, it is regulated by Ofsted - achieving an overall rating of ‘good’ in it’s last inspection.
YMCA Derbyshire offers accommodation or young people from all over the county who have no place to go on its campus in Derby.
“We have 88 units of accommodation on site with 24/7 care and support. We also have over 40 ‘move on’ units across the city,” says Grace.
The ‘move on’ accommodation is for when young people are ready to leave the campus, but not quite ready to be on their own yet. They are still able to access advice and support from the charity.
In 2015 alone the charity supported 211 people through accommodation and 262 through training.
Gillian Sewell, CEO of YMCA Derbyshire comments: “We offer young and vulnerable people a safe front door, supported accommodation, suitable accredited training and education courses, access to employment projects and mentoring opportunities. All of which is aimed at getting individuals in to further education, employment and on to independent living.
She continues: “I have seen many young people arrive at YMCA Derbyshire with damaged hope and enjoy seeing them leave with qualifications, increased confidence, self esteem and resilience. We believe that every young person should not limit their horizons they should work hard, engage in the support provided and then reap the rewards that comes with that.”
Gillian says the charity can offer you people a second chance.
“Whether mainstream school hasn’t quite worked for them, or there has been a breakdown in the family home YMCA Derbyshire are here to offer the support and guidance needed to enable every young person to belong, contribute and thrive,” she says. “We work in the local community for the local community.
“The need for our services is greater than ever and we require support to sustain and develop our work, and remain responsive to the real needs in our local community. We welcome support from individuals, businesses, churches, community groups and schools.
YMCA Derbyshire has regular intakes for training and education courses.

To fulfil such ambitions, some people may be considering the new pension drawdown option. So what is the pension drawdown? And what are the advantages and disadvantages to this method?
Drawdown is a way of achieving greater flexibility with your pension funds. Every time you move your money into drawdown, you’re allowed to take 25 per cent of this as a lump sum, tax free. Sounds good, but be warned, there are downsides too. The rest of the fund continues as an investment, with taxable income able to be drawn straight from your pension whenever you choose. The tax-free lump sum must be taken at the start, but as you don’t have to move your whole pension at once multiple lump sums can potentially be taken. Another attractive feature of drawdown is the greater flexibility it allows you in withdrawing your pension. You can choose regular withdrawals monthly, quarterly, biannually or annually, as well as having the option of taking one-off lump sums or taking a break from withdrawing whenever you like. Anything left after your death can be passed on to beneficiaries nominated by you. However, here comes the disadvantage and something you must be aware of. If you withdraw more than the amount by which your pension is growing, choosing to draw on capital will lead to your pension value going down over time. Another important aspect of drawdown is that it does not offer the secure income that other forms of pension do, such as an annuity. Your money could run out if you live for longer than you anticipated, you simply withdraw too much, or your investments underperform based on your expectations. A further risk to drawdown is that there will be variations in your yields over time, and you may end up receiving less than the amount you invested. So in brief, whether drawdown is right for you ultimately depends on how you weigh up the benefits of greater flexibility against the risks of investment and the possibility of running out of money.

The Midland Railway hosted its second vintage weekend of 2016 over the Bank Holiday weekend.
Midland railway centre's Anne Deeth waits for the visitors to board the train.
The events give the museum chance to bring out some of the painstakingly well-preserved rolling stock in its museum exhibits, allowing visitors to ride the rails as passengers might have done in the early days of rail.
Museum development officer Alan Calladine said: “It was an extremely successful weekend, very encouraging—both in visitor numbers and the kind of comments we got.
“I think people are just amazed they can travel in the carriages—the oldest one dates back to around 1865.”
As well as the real-life steam trains, there were model layouts running all weekend, and lots of other activities as volunteers dressed up in costume to entertain visitors.
Driver and fireman Marnie and Eugine Wheelright signal they are ready to roll.
Alan added: “The highlight for me is the reaction of the children. They’re really taken aback when they see someone coming along the platform in a bowler hat, tailcoat and cane.”
There will be more delighted young faces to come as the museum begins work for a teddy bears picnic at the end of September and then the winter Santa Specials.

When they return to four day action next Wednesday after a two week break, Derbyshire will be trying to avoid unwanted records in the three games remaining.
They are currently bottom of Division Two and are the only team in the country without a victory in the championship.
Derbyshire last went through a season without a championship victory in 1924 and it is nearly two years since they won a game at home so there is a lot to play for in the next month, starting with the visit of Gloucestershire next week.
Injuries have depleted the seam attack and Shiv Thakor will not play again this season because of a stress fracture in his back but Derbyshire have to find a way to end a disappointing campaign on a high.
Former skipper Wayne Madsen, who passed 1,000 championship runs in the previous game against Essex, admitted: “We only had three seamers so we are a bit light on bowlers but you have to make do with what you’ve got in terms of your attack.
“We have to find a way of taking 20 wickets in order to win games and we haven’t quite got that right yet.
“We are doing everything in our power to make sure we win not just a game but a couple of games this season.
“We’ve got two home games and we haven’t won a game at home for a while so we have to make sure our performances are improving and we have to find a way to take 20 wickets.”
Madsen was the first player in Division Two to score 1,000 runs but recognises the most important statistic is what is in the wins column.
“It’s very special and it’s an accolade but at the end of the day, I would love to be winning more games of cricket. So yes, it’s great and it means a lot but I want to be winning so, for me, it’s about helping this team to win games and be more consistent and there’s a lot of work to do in that respect. As a team we have to improve.”
Madsen will have a benefit in 2017 when he and Derbyshire will hope for a much more productive season.
“I feel very honoured and privileged to be awarded a benefit and it’s going to be an exciting year and for me, I’d like to make it a good year on and off the field and that means turning the results around and winning more games.” | http://www.ripleyandheanornews.co.uk/news/derbyshire-ccc-aiming-to-finally-win-a-championship-game-1-8089747 | en | 2016-08-25T00:00:00 | www.ripleyandheanornews.co.uk/ebccc780da1e588cf6629b8e4fa1613f528d3b73fa2a4edd14c1ecd4bbe3946e.json |

Chesterfield magistrates’ court heard on Wednesday, August 24, how Martin Claridge, 32, of Morley Close, Heanor, up-turned the table and a fruit bowl was smashed and his partner Kirsty Allen was injured.
Prosecuting solicitor Rod Chapman told a previous court hearing that Ms Allen had returned home and there was an argument and Claridge up-turned a glass-topped dining table with a fruit bowl which was smashed.
Mr Chapman added that a shard of glass struck the complainant leaving a two centimetre long laceration.
Ms Allen phoned her mother and her mother phoned the police, according to Mr Chapman.
Claridge also visited Ms Allen’s work on the following day where he grabbed her by the arm and followed her, according to Mr Chapman.
The defendant pleaded guilty to two counts of assault which were committed on July 9 and July 10 in Ripley.
Defence solicitor David Gittins said the day after the first assault Claridge went looking for the complainant and spoke to her because he wanted to apologise and he grabbed her because he was trying to hug her.
Magistrates sentenced Claridge to a 12 month community order with a Rehabilitation Activity Requirement.
He was also ordered to complete 180 hours of unpaid work and must pay £100 compensation, an £85 victim surcharge and £85 costs.

The first opportunity anyone will have to hear any of the songs from Skeleton Tree, will be to watch One More Time With Feeling, directed by Andrew Dominik (Chopper, Killing Them Softly).
The film will be shown in 150 cinemas across the UK and Ireland including QUAD in Derby and Nottingham’s Showcase and Broadway cinemas.
Dominik delves into the tragic backdrop of the writing and recording of the album.
Interwoven throughout the Bad Seeds’ filmed performance of the new album are interviews and footage shot by Dominik, accompanied by Cave’s intermittent narration and improvised rumination.
Filmed in black-and-white and colour, in both 3D and 2D, the result is stark, fragile and raw.
Director Andrew Dominik has issued the very first public statement about working with Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds on new 3D black-and-white feature film One More Time With Feeling:
“When Nick approached me about making a film around the recording and performing of the new Bad Seeds album, I’d been seeing quite a lot of him as we rallied around him and his family at the time of his son’s death.
“My immediate response was “Why do you want to do this?” Nick told me that he had some things he needed to say, but he didn’t know who to say them to. The idea of a traditional interview, he said, was simply unfeasible but that he felt a need to let the people who cared about his music understand the basic state of things. It seemed to me that he was trapped somewhere and just needed to do something – anything - to at least give the impression of forward movement.”
Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds’ 16th studio album, Skeleton Tree, will be released globally on vinyl, CD and across all digital platforms on September 9. The album began its journey in late 2014 at Retreat Studios, Brighton, with further sessions at La Frette Studios, France in autumn 2015. The album was mixed at AIR Studios, London in early 2016.

That’s exactly what’s on offer with WiFi Wars coming to Buxton’s Pavilion Arts Centre on Saturday, September 3.
The event is hosted by comedian and regular video games commentator, Steve McNeil, and his tech wizard sidekick and coding king Rob Sedgebeer.
The pair will be featured in a new BBC Radio 4 documentary about video gaming, While My Guitar Gently Bleeps. A television adaptation of their original live show, Go 8-Bit, hosted by Dara O’Briain will be screened on Dave this autumn.
We spoke to Rob about what audiences can expect at WiFi Wars:
Q. Tell us, why should people come to a WiFi Wars show?
A. To come and play a range of fun video games with the rest of the audience, using the latest smart phone technology. With the added bonus of watching two sweaty men panic on stage.
Q. What’s the dynamic like between the two of you in/out of the show?
A. Outside the show, Steve does all the admin work, I do all the coding. During the show, Steve does the talking, I do the buttons. It’s a fair division of labour.
Q. Can you explain how the audience gets involved in WiFi Wars?
A. The audience connects to our WiFi network using their phone or tablet. From there I can send games and controls to their device, using web based technology. No wizard magic required!
Q. How does the show differ from other live shows out there?
A. It’s the ultimate in audience interaction. No other live show demands you keep your mobile phone switched on!
Q. What excites you most about the show?
A. It’s an entirely new form of live entertainment. We get to build and play video games with huge numbers of people in a way that has never been done before.
Q. Go 8-Bit was your original live comedy gaming show that has been commissioned as a TV series on Dave to air this autumn. How is the TV series similar/different to WiFi Wars?
A. Go 8 Bit is all about watching beloved comedians making fools of themselves playing classic video games. The audience do get to play along with a few games, but in WiFi Wars they get to play ALL the games. It’s a much more interactive show.
l WiFi Wars starts at 7pm on September 3. Tickets £17.50 and £12 (under 16s) with £1.75 discount for groups of eight and above, students, seniors, disabled, JSA, income support.

Chesterfield magistrates’ court heard on Wednesday, August 24, how 24-year-old James Edge, of Queen’s Road, Hodthorpe, had drunk around seven or eight pints of beer before the assault happened.
Rod Chapman, prosecuting, told a previous hearing that Edge and the complainant had been in a relationship for about three years.
Mr Chapman said the reason for the end of the relationship was that the complainant had suffered a miscarriage and that had created difficulties but Edge visited the complainant’s home, on July 17, when he was drunk.
Edge barged through the front door, according to Mr Chapman, and grabbed the complainant and demanded to know who she was seeing.
Mr Chapman added that the complainant was able to phone the police but Edge pulled her by her hair and took and threw the phone at a door causing it to come apart.
Edge told police he had about seven or eight pints of beer and the relationship break-up had been playing on his mind.
He admitted pushing the complainant and taking her phone off her.
Edge pleaded guilty to the assault, which happened in Whitwell.
The court heard the complainant had indicated she did not support the prosecution case.
John Wilford, mitigating, said Edge accepts it was wrong to go around in a drunken state.
Magistrates sentenced Edge to a 12 month community order with a Rehabilitation Activity Requirement and 120 hours of unpaid work.
He was also ordered to pay £85 costs and an £85 victim surcharge.

The academy graduates have both made their Specsavers County Championship debuts for the county this summer. Davis has made three four-day appearances, claiming 14 wickets at an average of 30, including figures of 7-146, the best by a Derbyshire bowler this year. He is the second youngest player ever to claim seven in an innings for the county.
Hemmings has featured in one first-class fixture this year, making his debut versus Worcestershire in June. The 20-year-old has also impressed for the second XI, earning him his first professional deal.
Head coach John Sadler said: “Will and Rob are promising young players who have both impressed after making their debuts this summer. They will now both benefit greatly from another winter working full time with the first team as they continue their developments.
“We have a good group of talented young players who continue to learn and improve. We hope Will and Rob will be part of a crop of youngsters who will stand up and help contribute regularly to winning games for Derbyshire for years to come.” | http://www.ripleyandheanornews.co.uk/sport/local-sport/new-deals-for-exciting-derbyshire-ccc-academy-prospects-1-8083927 | en | 2016-08-23T00:00:00 | www.ripleyandheanornews.co.uk/31bdeb79b10bb669464397fad841d3807b187a2054bc63f9d6ebec353fbda58e.json |

Launching the autumn season at the King Street-based venue, Cloudbusting are a group of five talented musicians who love to perform the music of the legendary Kate Bush.
They focus on performing the music exactly to the original to bring all those classic songs to the live stage.
You can expect to hear all the favourites including Running Up That Hill, Wuthering Heights, Babooshka and many more.
Having performed at many venues up and down the country as well as festivals across Europe, they are no strangers to the stage and are receiving huge recognition whereever they have been performing, including the only official Kate Bush fan club.
Then, on Saturday, September 3, the visitors to The Flowerpot will be Skinny Molly.
RAW Promotions are proud to present a band who are currently touring Europe to promote their latest studio album Here For A Good Time.
Featuring the former Lynyrd Skynyrd and Artimus Pyle Band guitarist Mike Estes, Skinny Molly was founded by Estes and Nashville studio drummer Kurt Pietro.
Originally put together to do a one-off tour of Europe in 2004, Skinny Molly has, 12 years later, become one of the hardest working and popular rock bands out of the southern United States.
Solidifying the current line-up in 2008, the band boasts guitarist Jay Johnson (formerly of Blackfoot/Rossington Band), and Grand Ole Opry stalwart bassist Luke Bradshaw.
This line-up has toured relentlessly, their first jaunt found them crossing three continents in 30 days on the strength of their debut CD No Good Deed.
In 2012, word of their legendary live shows reached Ruf Records president Thomas Ruf, and Skinny Molly immediately embarked on recording their first CD for the label, the critics’ favourite Haywire Riot.
Doors open for both of these gigs at 8pm.
Admission is £12 for Cloudbusting and £13 for Skinny Molly.
Advance tickets for both of these gigs at the venue are available from The Flowerpot and RAW Promotions.

A superb 30 yard strike in the sixth minute from Linby’s Matt Murphy was the early highlight, as the visitors opened brightly.
They held the lead until the 37th minute when Chris Gilson headed home the equaliser.
Aiden Harris restored the visitors’ lead a couple of minutes from the break with a curling shot at the near post.
Pinxton equalised on 47 minutes, with a goal attributed to Jake Vernon via a couple of deflections, and took the points with a Danny Evans penalty and two more from Vernon in the last eight minutes, which completed his hat-trick.
A couple of miles down the road it was also 5-2 as South Normanton overcame Keyworth United.
Two goals apiece for Sam Chambers and Adam Gillott and one from James Pearce gave the home side their first win of the season with Richard Whyman and Ryan Tittensor scoring Keyworth’s goals.
In the North Division Phoenix and Dronfield Town Reserves shared four goals at Brinsworth on Wednesday.
Scott Austin opened the scoring for Dronfield on six minutes but Phoenix retaliated with two in four minutes midway through the half, both from Rob Gorman.
Dronfield left it late to claim a point, there were just three minutes remaining when Aaron Gordon struck the equaliser.
Radford opened their season in the YourFootballWorld Reserve division with a 3-1 win at Swanwick.
They scored in the first minute through Emmanuel Tchome with Joe Evans and Andrew Jeffries also on the scoresheet, Henry Brooks replying for the Swans.

Marshall Milton Keynes AC’s Mark Ryall and wife Linsey combined house-hunting with medal-winning in this morning’s second annual Reach Mansfield 10k race.
And there was a big boost for the race’s future with the news that Mansfield District Council looks set to back the embryonic event for the next five years.
Mansfield 10K
As local focus on athletics left television coverage of the Rio Olympics for the sunny streets of Mansfield, Ryall, 35, won the race in 34:12, three seconds ahead of Sutton Harriers’ Richard Robinson, going one better than last year’s third, with Mansfield Harriers’ James Mee third in 34:37.
Meanwhile, Ryall’s wife Linsey took the women’s Veterans 35 years title for a family double as they combined the morning’s race with looking for a house in the area.
The overall women’s winner was Jane Potter, of Charnwood Harriers, in 35:49 in a race which raises funds for local charity Reach Learning Disability.

Daniel Alton, 21, lost control of a Ford Focus along the A5012 at Newhaven, between Matlock and Buxton, and was taken to hospital for a check-up, according to a Chesterfield magistrates’ court.
Prosecuting solicitor Neil Hollett told the court hearing on August 23: “Police were called to a road traffic collision on the A5012 at New Haven after a Ford Focus had left the road and gone into a verge.
“The defendant remained at the scene and he was checked out and failed a roadside drink-drive breath test before he was taken to hospital.”
Mr Hollett added that he was later taken to a police station where he recorded 55microgrammes of alcohol in 100millilitres of breath exceeding the legal limit of 35microgrammes.
He told police he had been to a festival and had been drinking but thought he would be okay to drive but overshot a junction and crashed into a verge.
Alton, of Stanton Road, Stapenhill, Burton-Upon-Trent, pleaded guilty to exceeding the alcohol drink-drive limit after the incident about midnight on August 8.
The defendant, who has no previous convictions, told the court: “It was completely out of character and I am normally a completely sensible person.”
Magistrates fined Alton £335 and banned him from driving for 15 months but he intends to take a drink-drive rehabilitation course to reduce the disqualification.
Alton was also ordered to pay £85 costs and a £34 victim surcharge.

Almost half of motorists don’t wash their own cars | null | null | www.ripleyandheanornews.co.uk | More than four in ten motorists in the East Midlands get someone else to wash their car, according to a new survey.
The research carried out by AA Cars, found that 45 per cent of motorists in the region get someone else to clean their vehicle.
The AA-Populus poll, which canvassed 19,619 AA members on how often they clean their cars, and the methods most frequently used, found that almost a quarter (22%) of British car owners polled now use a pop-up hand car wash.
The survey also revealed that fewer professionals across the country (54%) wash their own cars compared to semi-skilled and manual workers (63%).
The results also highlighted a difference between genders, with two thirds of men (61%) claiming to do a DIY bucket and sponge job, or home pressure washer, compared to 49% of women who prefer to pay to have their cars washed.
But the survey also showed that just one in ten respondents give their car a clean on the outside once a week, with 29 per cent admitting they only gave their vehicle a wash once every few months.
Paul Yates, managing director of AA Cars, said: “The British tradition of washing our cars at the weekend does seem to be dying though. Across the UK, 32% of car owners now outsource the job, with around a third of these opting for an automatic car wash.
“Obvious as it may sound, cleaning your car is a prerequisite if you’re looking to sell. Advertising a dirty vehicle is a sure-fire way to give potential buyers the wrong impression – that you’re willing to cut corners.”

Alfreton Town found themselves on the wrong end of an eight-goal thriller when AFC Fylde visited the lmpact Arena on Saturday.
The Reds fought back twice during the first half before establishing a 3-2 interval lead, but were sunk by three goals after the break without being able to muster a reply.
Fyldes substitute keeper Tony Thompson makes a tremendous save to deny Alfretons Todd Jordan(7).
Danny Rowe did most of the damage with a haul of four goals, but Alfreton can count themselves extremely unfortunate not to have gone into half-time with a bigger lead after Craig Westcarr’s goal had been disallowed in added time, his back post conversion coming after Dan Bradley had dispossessed Steve Williams.
There was also a degree of controversy over Fylde’s second goal, which came amid defensive confusion after Todd Jordan had not been allowed back on the field after changing his shorts.
Alfreton had started the game with a flourish, forcing three early corners before Wright opened the scoring for Fylde by blasting an eighth minute free-kick high into the net from the edge of the area.
Six minutes later though the Reds had drawn level in style, Ryan Wilson hammering the ball past Rhys Taylor after being left one-on-one with the keeper from Jordan’s outstanding through-ball.
Parity was only observed until the 16th minute though, Wright working his way through a distracted defence to tap the ball in, the referee having to speak to Reds’ manager Nicky Law after vehement appeals about the circumstances allowing play to continue without Jordan had been waved aside.
Alfreton were level at 2-2 by the 21st minute of a frenetic encounter when Westcarr curled a free-kick from 25 yards past Taylor, then a few minutes later Wilson went close at one end and Bohan Dixon did likewise at the other.
The Reds finally took the lead on 36 minutes after Taylor had superbly tipped over another good effort from Wilson, the corner leading to Sam Smith being brought down and Bradley swept the ensuing penalty firmly past the keeper.
Deep into first half added time Smith missed a Bradley cross right in front of goal, then eight minutes after the break Wright struck again with a lethal free-kick that took a deflection to deceive Fabian Spiess.
A goalmouth scramble ensued from Westcarr’s 58th minute free-kick, with Taylor left injured as Tom Allan stabbed the loose ball wide of the near post.
Reserve keeper Tony Thompson had only been named on the team-sheet moments before the kick-off after original sub George Newell had been declared unfit during the warm-up, so Fylde were extremely fortunate to have a recognised replacement for Taylor available.
Spiess pulled off two commendable saves from Andy Bond and Wright as the Coasters pushed further and further forward, the latter scoring his fourth goal from close range following a corner in the 68th minute.
The fifth goal came seven minutes from time amidst torrential rain and ironically stemmed from a long Niall Heaton throw that was cleared swiftly upfield, Wright feeding James Hardy who followed up after Spiess had parried in vain.
Late chances from Adam Priestley and Brad McGowan failed to test Thompson, the Reds left to rue a game that had slipped from their grasp.

HM Lord-Lieutenant of Derbyshire William Tucker visited Derbyshire Army Cadet Force’s annual camp in Thetford, Norfolk on Friday, August 12, and presented a number of certificates to those who took part in a special civic celebration of The Queen at Derby Cathedral in June this year.
Adult volunteer Sergeant Major Instructor (SMI) Paul Wright from Ripley, has been a cadet force instructor for over 28 years and as the guard commander, organised the guard of honour the cadets formed.
He said of attending the service of thanksgiving: “I was delighted to be a part of the history of Derbyshire.”
Reflecting on taking part in the guard of honour earlier in the year, Cadet Lily-May Payne, 16, said: “I felt proud to do the guard of honour. It made me feel special to be able to represent my Queen and country.
“But also because of the people there such as the Lord-Lieutenant.”
Cadet Jamie Maddocks, 14, added: “I felt not just pride in myself but also for doing my duty as part of the Army Cadet Force.” | http://www.ripleyandheanornews.co.uk/news/local/cadets-thanked-for-their-part-in-celebrations-1-8090172 | en | 2016-08-27T00:00:00 | www.ripleyandheanornews.co.uk/dda18c2bdfc5bf43fef43285bfde6e7e8ba9b5cbf11af6e479b99d02dd9b4866.json |

Intense pressure by the hosts had to be soaked up before the Reds struck from their first meaningful attack in the 23rd minute, Craig Westcarr neatly finding the far corner of the net from the right side of the area after taking a return pass from Liam Hearn, the move stemming from a long ball down the right by Terry Galbraith, Josh Gillies, Mark Beck and Liam Hardy had all gone perilously close to opening the scoring in those early minutes for the previously unbeaten home side, but a combination of weak shooting and determined defending saw Alfreton emerge unscathed by the mid-point of the first half.
The Vanarama National League North pace-setters were visibly shocked at going behind, and it needed a good save by Fabian Spiess from a firmly struck Gillies drive before the Reds broke away again to claim a second goal in the 32nd minute.
Ryan Wilson had won a right-wing corner after Hearn had sent Dan Bradley down the right, Wilson’s delivery from the flag-kick picking out Brad McGowan for a looping header off the bar before the predatory Hearn headed home the loose ball from six yards.
It was the popular striker’s first goal since returning to Alfreton, yet bizarrely the last time that the Reds had won 4-3 in an away game featured Hearn’s first-ever goal for the club on their travels almost eight years earlier in an F.A.Trophy tie, also in the North-East at Blyth Spartans in November 2008.
McGowan was harshly penalised and cautioned for a foul on Gillies on the edge of the area, the latter dusting himself down to plant the ball firmly past Spiess at his near post to reduce the deficit four minutes before half-time.
The majority of the large crowd were still cheering when Alfreton broke yet again, with Hearn, Westcarr and Bradley combining on the right to set up Andy Monkhouse for the sweetest of left-foot drives back across goal and into the net from ten yards.
It was much of the same after the break with Hardy and Gary Brown going close for the Quakers, before Spiess made a reflex save from a shot that rebounded off and ultimately injured Kennedy on the hour.
Spiess was the instigator of Alfreton’s fourth goal in the 64th minute, his long one-armed throw sending Westcarr down the right, with Bradley the recipient of his subsequent cross.
The Reds’ skipper side-stepped a defender before being brought down by keeper Peter Jameson, who only escaped a certain red card when referee Mather allowed play to continue, with Hearn ramming the loose ball home from just outside the six-yard box.
To their credit Darlington continued to press forward, but they were almost caught out yet again on 71 minutes when Brown gifted the ball to Westcarr and Hearn blasted inches over the angle of back post and crossbar in search of his hat-trick.
Five minutes later Gillies struck again with a carbon copy of his previous free-kick which left Spiess sprawling in vain, and by the 77th minute Darlington had reduced the arrears to a single goal when sub Amar Purewal was on hand to steer the ball home from 12 yards after Beck had managed to pull the ball back to him.
A trio of outstanding saves by Spiess from Leon Scott, Gillies and Nathan Cartman undoubtedly kept the Reds in the driving seat as they endured nine minutes of added time, the referee emulating the infamous Clive Thomas by blowing the final whistle just as Wilson was firing home what should have been Alfreton’s fifth goal.

But, having enjoyed the heights of a dramatic 4-3 win at Darlington, the Reds slumped to the depths of a miserable 5-2 defeat at home to Tamworth just 48 hours later.
Alfreton had fallen behind to a debatable penalty after 36 minutes, but recovered after the break to establish a 2-1 lead before conceding four times in a spectacular collapse during the last 20 minutes.
Joe Clarke’s header over for the Lambs and Liam Hearn’s angled drive that was saved by James Belshaw had been the only noteworthy efforts in a drab opening 35 minutes, but referee Martin Woods spotted a hand-ball as Jed Davies fired a free-kick into the defensive wall and by pointing to the spot sparked the game into action.
Davies calmly stroked the penalty past Fabian Spiess and the same player should have doubled Tamworth’s advantage on the stroke of half-time when he headed a Joe Clarke cross against the underside of the crossbar when it looked easier to score.
Six minutes after the break Andy Monkhouse stroked home the equaliser from ten yards after Hearn had held up a useful Ryan Wilson cross from the left, then just five minutes later Dan Bradley claimed his sixth goal of the season when he took a return pass from Hearn to fire the Reds ahead in the contest.
Todd Jordan’s header from a Craig Westcarr free-kick was held by Belshaw, then Spiess pulled off a spectacular save to tip over a Danny Newton rasper, but Tamworth were level by the 70th minute when Spiess failed to hold an equally venomous drive from Clarke that ended with Jack Lane lashing home the loose ball from close range.
Alfreton were still well in contention at this stage, but when Evan Garnett dragged his shot wide from Niall Heaton’s 81st minute through-ball the visitors sensed they had been let off the hook, regaining the lead five minutes later through Louis Ezewele’s snap-shot from 25 yards.
Worse was to come in added time as the Reds’ defensive discipline caved in, Newton stabbing home a Louis Briscoe cross in the first extra minute, then 90 seconds later Ross Dyer was left with an easy tap-in after Newton and Briscoe had combined effortlessly.

Girls from the 1st Heanor and Horsley Brownies were on hand to cheer as store manager Matt Hallam opened the doors at 8 am yesterday (Thursday).
And in return, the High Street store donated a range of products to the pack to support their weekly activities.
The store has almost doubled in size and now has space for 200 cars. It is offering shoppers more than 1,500 core-range product-lines, including fresh produce at low prices and a wide range of weekly ‘Specialbuys’.
‘Specialbuys’ are up for grabs every Thursday and Sunday and offer customers a range of products from sportswear to electrical items.
In re-opening week, ‘Specialbuys’ include a Dyson DC50, reduced from £189.99 to £99.99, a 48-inch UHD smart TV, reduced from £299.99 to £179.99, an inverter generator, cut from £269.99 to £149.99), a drone camera, reduced from £69.99 to £39.99, and a bread maker, slashed from £49.99 to £29.99.
Mr Hallam said: “We greatly enjoyed welcoming our customers back into our store after the refurbishment, and hope our customers enjoy the benefits of our larger, more modern store.
“We look forward to welcoming customers into our store over the coming weeks. We would like to say thankyou to the 1st Heanor Brownies for taking part in the morning ceremony, and hope they enjoy the products that were donated on behalf of the Aldi team here in Heanor.”
The opening times for the Aldi store are 8 am to 10 pm on Mondays to Saturdays, and 10 am to 4 pm on Sundays.
Aldi is the sixth largest supermarket company in the UK, with more than 620 stores and more than 28,000 employees. The company has more than doubled its market share since 2010. In the 12 weeks to July 17 this year, Aldi sales grew by 11% for a 6.2 share of the market, according to official figures.
Aldi is also attracting hundreds of thousands of new customers every year with its award-winning range of exclusive brands, and says it is passing on low operating costs to shoppers in the form of low prices.
This year alone, Aldi will open about 70 new stores, which will generate up to £1 billion of additional sales when fully operational. | http://www.ripleyandheanornews.co.uk/news/local/brownies-lead-cheers-as-new-look-aldi-re-opens-1-8091236 | en | 2016-08-26T00:00:00 | www.ripleyandheanornews.co.uk/423831009902fedc9f7739900d22ba3180a4c7411bfaf4e515472213e0ac4b84.json |

But when the final whistle blew, the consensus of opinion was that York’s Ebor Festival had been an end-to-end thriller.
Sorry about the footballing metaphors. It seems that not even the Olympics can camouflage the start of a new season. But you know what I mean. Certainly you will if you spent a day or four on the Knavesmire last week, lapping up some of the best entertainment Team GB Racing can deliver.
The trendy riposte to those who object to turning the sport into an artificial singing and dancing circus for the alcohol-fuelled masses is that racing should be fun. Well, if York’s meeting wasn’t fun, packing in as it did top-class, competitive racing, on a majestic racecourse, among sensibly-sized crowds that created a pleasant and comfortable atmosphere, then I don’t what is.
It definitely seemed to float the boats of Irish owners Aidan ‘Red’ Shiels and friends, judging by their wild celebrations after HEARTBREAK CITY’S runaway romp in the Ebor itself. Celebrations that even surpassed those the previous day of another owner, Clive Washbourn, who let rip with abandon when his juvenile colt, CONTRAPPOSTO, flew home to snatch second in the big £60,000 Convivial Maiden as a 50/1 shot.
Fun for those whose passion for racing runs as deep as Shiels’s and Washbourn’s equates to revelling in the kind of performances and storylines that emerged from York’s showpiece festival. Here’s my potted day-by-day review, complete with a handful of horses to follow:
DAY ONE (WEDNESDAY)
When the Ebor Festival was washed out by heavy rain in 2008, Juddmonte International Day became the first of four to be abandoned. This time round, the day belonged to POSTPONED, authoritative winner of the near £1 million Group One.
Roger Varian’s 5yo dismissed doubts not only about the wellbeing and form of the yard’s string, but also, and more significantly, the horse’s dubious record over 10f. One of the rare astute uses of a pacemaker, coupled with an eminently sensible ride by the brilliant Andrea Atzeni, put the fears to bed as Postponed made full use of his stamina to stride clear from the 3f pole.
A tilt at the Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe, for which he would surely have gone close last season but for owner Sheikh Mohammed Obaid’s fall-out with previous trainer Luca Cumani, is the logical next step. However, the outcome was also a welcome shot in the arm for the increasingly maligned King George, with the 2015 winner of Ascot’s great race beating into second this year’s winner, HIGHLAND REEL.
The opening day also featured, albeit in a sub-standard Great Voltigeur Stakes, a similarly convincing performance by IDAHO, particularly as he was only just ready after a break and was given a lot to do in rear. As we identified after the Derby, the son of Galileo is a class act, although I wouldn’t be certain that he’ll appreciate the extra 2f of the St Leger, for which he is now a short favourite. His style of running, his turn of speed and his pedigree all point to his optimum trip being 12f or even 10f.
THREE TO FOLLOW: Mutakkayef, Oceane, La Casa Tarifa.
DAY TWO (THURSDAY)
A swathe of well-fanced horses obliged during the week. But a notable exception was the 2yo Frankel filly, FAIR EVA, turned over at 4/11 in the 6f Lowther Stakes. Excuses abounded, but not from seasoned trainer Roger Charlton, who kept a cool head and wisely suggested that she was simply beaten by a speedier offspring of the great horse and is more of a miler than a sprinter. In fact, the winner, QUEEN KINDLY, looked special, and the runner-up, ROLY POLY, is improving rapidly too.
Improvement is also the key word belonging to SEVENTH HEAVEN, who powered to victory in the Yorkshire Oaks, swamping two top-notch rivals, FOUND and QUEEN’S TRUST, who were travelling much more sweetly. Aidan O’Brien’s filly has stepped up dramatically for hold-up tactics and galloping tracks.
THREE TO FOLLOW: Mustashry, Abingdon, Jadaayil.
DAY THREE (FRIDAY)
As the rain clouds hovered, punters were faced with their worst guessing-game nightmare, particularly for a fiendishly competitive renewal of the Coolmore Nunthorpe. In the end, enough rain soaked one of the fastest 5f tracks in the country to allow MECCA’S ANGEL to treat us to a textbook display of polished sprinting. When sold to the breeding sheds at the end of the season, the 5yo grey will surely fetch a fee of seven figures.
Not for the first or last time during the meeting, the runner-up ran a blinder as well, especially as LIMATO was tackling the minimum trip for the first time.
Half an hour earlier, what a delight it was too to see NEMORALIA back in the winner’s enclosure. If ever there was a Group One heroine in waiting, Jeremy Noseda’s filly is it.
THREE TO FOLLOW: Rivet, Via Serendipity, Another Touch.
DAY FOUR (SATURDAY)
Contrary to public myth, most of Irish handler Tony Martin’s UK plots and raids do NOT succeed. But this one did, with knobs on, as 5lb claimer Adam McNamara was showered with glowing praise for steering home HEARTBREAK CITY in the Ebor.
The 6yo dual-purpose gelding had to share the limelight, however, with Gimcrack winner BLUE POINT, who laughed at criticism of his defeat at Goodwood. Yes, he’d been a beaten odds-on shot on the Downs, but only in a massive step-up in class against the best UK-trained juvenile seen so far this season, MEHMAS.
THREE TO FOLLOW: a real shame that Sandown’s Solario day clashed with York. Hope that, as a result, you didn’t miss the eyecatching runs of Persuasive, South Seas and Cartmell Cleave.
Skelton’s gold medal caps the most colourful of life-stories
All kinds of sports received a boost via Team GB’s record-breaking heroics at the Rio Olympics. And thankfully, racing didn’t miss out, courtesy of Nick Skelton, father of Jumps trainer Dan and jockey Harry, who strode to a glorious gold medal. As a youngster in the mid-1970s and early 1980s, I remember watching Skelton as a rookie rider, under the wing of Ted Edgar, when showjumping was shown on primetime TV by the BBC. His tear-jerking achievement in Brazil, made all the more remarkable by his well-documented broken neck and hip replacement, caps the most colourful of life-stories both on and off horseback. I loved how he deflected credit to his admirable mount, the 13-year-old Big Star. But I will love even more the updated version of his superb autobiography, ‘Only Falls And Horses’.

Chesterfield magistrates’ court heard on Tuesday, August 23, how Martin O’Malley, 63, of West Street, Eckington, was spotted and stopped by police in Eckington after he had been seen driving at speed.
Prosecuting solicitor Neil Hollett said: “It was quarter past 8pm, on August 5, when the defendant was seen driving in excess of the speed limit in a 30mph zone and he was stopped on Dronfield Road.”
O’Malley registered 87microgrammes of alcohol in 100millilitres of breath after taking a drink-drive test when the legal limit is 35microgrammes.
The defendant told the court: “I had attended a funeral that morning. It’s no defence but I got reminiscing and I made an error because I drank too much.
“I’m thinking of not driving again. I think I have learned my lesson.”
Magistrates disqualified O’Malley from driving for 20 months and he declined an offer to take a drink-drive rehabilitation course to reduce the ban.
He was also fined £400 and must pay £85 costs and a £40 victim surcharge.

“As a ‘thank you’ to those who have supported us on this year’s tour, if you enter a valid ticket code from a previous Fake Festival, we will discount your ticket to The Big Fake Festival by a massive 50 per cent.

Premier League clubs have already broken all known spending records for this summer’s transfer window with 12 clubs setting new transfer records for single deals, benefiting from the new £5.1bn television deal.
Arsenal’s £52m double signing of Lucas Perez and Shkodran Mustafi pushed top-flight summer transfer window spending close to the £1bn mark.
It has already surpassed the previous high of £870m set last year.
Here are the rumours floating around on deadline day . . . .
Monaco defender Fabinho could be a ‘left field’ arrival at Manchester United on deadline day, according to the M.E.N.’s Stuart Mathieson. “He’s one I wouldn’t rule out at all,” Stuart said at the M.E.N.’s live football event in Manchester on Tuesday night. The 22-year-old was interesting United a year ago but a move for the right-back failed to materialise. Despite Louis van Gaal’s departure, reports have suggested Fabinho could still move to Manchester.

The midfielder has been told he won’t be part of Mourinho’s plans this season. But Schweinsteiger is happy to see out the remaining two years of his contract even if it means not playing. Reports earlier today claimed Sporting Lisbon had made an offer to bring him to Portugal. (Daily Express).

Chesterfield magistrates’ court heard on Wednesday, August 24, how Bradley Haines, 26, formerly of Broughton Close, Riddings, Alfreton, grabbed his wife’s hair to stop her cutting his clothes and grabbed her again as she was holding their baby son.
Prosecuting solicitor Rod Chapman told a previous hearing the defendant’s wife had thought he had enjoyed a night out in Derby but when he arrived home he said he had been attacked by taxi drivers at Burton-upon-Trent and he later received a text from a woman.
His wife challenged him over the details and poured a bottle of water on him, according to Mr Chapman, and she pushed him down and told him to leave before threatening to cut his clothes with scissors.
Mr Chapman added that Haines took his wife by the hair and dragged her around the room and put her to the floor before she got up.
Mrs Haines then picked up her baby, according to Mr Chapman, and went onto the landing where the defendant took hold of her hair again.
Haines admitted to police he had grabbed his wife’s hair because he could not afford to replace his clothes and had pulled his wife to the floor and let go as she released the scissors.
He also admitted grabbing his wife by her hair again and pulling her to the floor when she had been holding the baby and was pregnant at the time.
Haines, of Butterfield Lane, Brackenfield, Alfreton, pleaded guilty to the assault after the incident on July 9.
Defence solicitor John Wilford said his client stated he had been acting in self-defence until he was on the landing.
Magistrates sentenced Haines to a 12 month community order with a Rehabilitation Activity Requirement and 180 hours of unpaid work.
He was also ordered to pay an £85 victim surcharge.

Mr Ledger, who was a popular player who was remembered for his pace and superb passing ability, died on August 19 aged 92 in Nottingham.
The Stapleford-born right winger made his Ilkeston debut against Warsop Working Mens’ Club in August 1948 and went on to play more than 300 times for the club.
He won a number of honours for Ilkeston, including the Central Alliance League four years in row and the Derbyshire Senior Cup.
Ledger joined Derby County during the War but, unable to break into the first team, he tried his luck with Notts County where he scored four goals in 16 Wartime appearances.
He then crossed over the Trent and played 10 times for neighbours Forest, adding a further goal to his collection.
After the War he remained with The Reds until the summer of 1949 despite not making the first team again.
During his time as a Forest player he made a single appearance for Ilkeston at the start of the 1948/49 season although it was a year later before he joined Town on a permanent basis.
Ken is Ilkeston’s fifth all-time top appearance maker and only five Town players have scored a greater number of goals. | http://www.ripleyandheanornews.co.uk/sport/local-sport/tributes-paid-to-former-llkeston-derby-county-and-nottingham-forest-player-ken-ledger-1-8090041 | en | 2016-08-26T00:00:00 | www.ripleyandheanornews.co.uk/13441119b1295ff484133bbaf7a69efef2f2155aceb910931c0cb198444e0073.json |

Manager Glen Clarence said: “I didn’t think it was a great game and I don’t think we definitely deserved to win it. I think we won the game tonight simply down to the things we’ve been working on in pre-season.
“There’s not five or six marque signings, we’ve not got a massive budget, we’ve promoted a few kids - we know what we’ve had to work on. We wouldn’t have won that game in our first, second or third season.
“We’ve won that game. We thought we needed another goal to protect it. The lads have protected a two-goal lead for 48 minutes. The second half for the fans were boring, boring in patches for us, but we didn’t need a goal.
He added: “We needed to manage the game. I thought we did it for a bit longer than we would have liked but it’s about getting three points and that’s what we did.” | http://www.ripleyandheanornews.co.uk/sport/local-sport/heanor-town-claim-first-league-win-of-the-season-1-8087271 | en | 2016-08-25T00:00:00 | www.ripleyandheanornews.co.uk/b080ce6bfef525dc03c7bc9bffa4328fc4877726a248efcb71bda970d033afa6.json |

The Sherlocks, singer songwriter Kiaran Crook, 20, brother and drummer Brandon, 23, guitarist Josh Davidson, 22, and his brother and bassist Andy, 17, recently played the biggest music festival in the world, the SXSW music festival in Austin, Texas.
But this is the biggest showcase weekend for the Bolton Upon Dearne indie quartet who have over 700 gigs to their name and have also just completed their first UK headline tour, selling out venues around the country, with their latest single Last Night getting lots of Radio 1 airplay.
Last year Kiaran, Brandon, Josh and Andy drew a huge number of fans before Sunday lunchtime at Reading, but a coveted evening slot on this year’s popular Festival Republic stage meant the crowds in the south were even bigger.
On a scorching summer evening the temperature in Berkshire was almost as high as the anticipation for the band of brothers’ 30 minute seven song set.
At exactly 5.45pm the lads, playing it cool as always, bounded on stage to kick off with single Last Night followed by favourites Escapade and Heart of Gold.
They continued with epic new song Candle Light, Live for the Moment and finished with Chasing Shadows as two giant beach balls flew back and forth across the arena.
Will You Be There?, which had one of its first plays at South by Southwest in Austin, Texas, was another soaring highlight.
The huge Reading turn out for Yorkshire's latest Radio 1 stars The Sherlocks
Almost all the sides to the huge festival tent were drawn back meaning the Sherlocks’ sound carried beyond the tent poles. More and more joined the audience as the gig went on and by the end of the set the place was rammed.
“That was astonishing” frontman Kiaran told us as he came off stage.
“Last year was truly memorable, but this year Reading has taken it to another level. We’re seeing crowd reactions we'd only ever seen in the north before.
“We love it down here and now we're buzzing even more for Leeds.”

Starring Blue’s Antony Costa and Lola Saunders of X-Factor fame, Save the Last Dance for Me takes theatregoers on a nostalgic, feelgood journey of song and dance while following the trials and tribulations of two teenage sisters on a summer holiday.
Full of freedom and high spirits, Jennifer and Marie embark on a trip to the seaside for the first time without their parents, meeting a handsome young American who invites them to the local US Air Force base.
Things don’t run smoothly though as the doe-eyed siblings soon realise the complications of inter-racial relationships and that life and love can be much more complicated as it seems.
Costa, part of one of the biggest boy bands of the noughties, was the big draw as Milton, with Saunders, making her theatrical debut, playing the part of brassy Jennifer.
Ex-fishmonger Lola showed exactly why she’s made for a career in theatre as she looked completely at home on stage, wowing the audience with her powerful vocals and soulful tone.
Elizabeth Carter impressed as sweet teen Marie, while Wayne Robinson (Curtis) brought appreciative gasps with a chiselled physique which more than complemented his great singing voice.
The constantly-playing jukebox was a nice touch during scenes providing some background music, while the Lowestoft-themed props provided a colourful British seaside feel to the show.
Rock ‘n’ Roll classics included Elvis’s Viva Las Vegas, Can’t Get Used to Losing You, A Teenager in Love, Please Mr Postman and Save the Last Dance for Me, plus a superb acapella rendition of Sweets for my Sweet.
Save the Last Dance runs until Saturday, August 27. For tickets visit www.trch.co.uk.

Chesterfield magistrates’ court heard on Friday, August 26, how 19-year-old Curtis Pass turned up at his mother’s address in Killamarsh and was banging on the door before breaking the frame and bracket of a window on August 24.
Prosecuting solicitor Becky Allsop said Pass had previously taken his mother’s car without permission and caused damage at her home.
She explained Pass had taken his mum’s vehicle in June and it was found abandoned with billowing smoke and on the same day Pass had visited his mum’s address and tried to smash his way in and damaged was caused.
Pass continued to pester his mum and in July he damaged a window and wing mirror on her vehicle, according to Mrs Allsop.
Despite being given a 12 month restraining order and a 16 week custodial sentence suspended for 12 months for these offences, Mrs Allsop explained that Pass went on to visit his mother’s home on August 24 and broke a window after threatening to damage his mother and auntie’s cars.
She said he pulled at an open window and broke the frame and bracket and the defendant fled when he realised someone was phoning the police.
Mrs Allsop added that his mother claimed Pass has been “hounding and threatening” her for money and she feels likes she is going to have a breakdown because she is living in fear of her son.
Pass, formerly of Brindley Court, Killamarsh, admitted breaching his restraining order and his suspended prison sentence and pleaded guilty to damaging a window.
He also pleaded guilty to driving without a licence and without insurance after an incident on August 25.
Defence solicitor Felicity Coats said his mother had still wanted some contact but she did not want Pass to come to the family home.
Magistrates sentenced Pass to a 32 week custodial sentence and ordered him to pay a £115 victim surcharge. His driving licence was also endorsed with six points.
Pass, of No Fixed Abode, was also acquitted of making threatening facebook and phone messages in an unrelated matter but he was given a further 12 month restraining order not to contact those connected to this case.
