Gates installed tocommemorate ourWorld War heroes

‘This tragedy could havebeen avoided’ – police A DRINK DRIVER who caused the death of a

motorcyclist in Wootton Wawen last month hasbeen sentenced to nine years in prison.

Craig Allen, aged 35, of no fixed abode, pleaded guiltyat Coventry Crown Court last Thursday, to causing deathby dangerous driving and driving with excess alcohol.

His sentence was reduced to six years for an early guiltyplea. The charges relate to a head-on collision on theA3400 at Wootton Wawen on Monday, 25th April in which27-year-old motorcyclist Robert Loach died.

Allen provided a positive breath test at the scene with areading of 155mg. The legal limit is 35mg. He also pro-vided a positive drug swipe test for cocaine.

PC David Bull said: “This was a tragedy which couldhave been avoided. The simple fact is that driving whenyou have been drinking or taking drugs is not just illegal itputs you and other road users at risk.

“I hope that the sentence given out sends a message toall road users who might be tempted to drive after theyhave had a drink. It’s just not worth it.”

After the tragedy, the family of Robert Loach paidtribute to a loving and wonderful son and doting father.

Robert Loach, aged 27, of Birmingham Road, Redditchleaves a partner, Lian, and two children aged one andthree.

Lian said: “Robert was the world’s most doting father.He was my rock and my soul mate, the love of my life andI love him more than I could possibly say.”

Robert’s mother, Sam, said: “Robert was my first born,a truly wonderful, inspirational person and most lovingson.”

A SET of gates commemorating those who gave theirlives in the First World War have been installed at Strat-ford’s recently refurbished Guildhall.

To mark the installation, the gates were blessed by theReverend Canon Michael Hampel, Old Edwardian andPrecentor of St Paul’s Cathedral, during a special cere-mony on 21st May.

The gates, installed in the building’s cross passage,were presented by the Old Edwardians’ Association aspart of the First World War Centenary commemorations.

They cost £5,000 and include a plaque honoring fallenFirst World War servicemen.

On a practical level the gates will allow the Guildhallto be opened up for visitors, but prevent them fromgaining access to the rest of the school.

Bennet Carr, head master at King Edward VI School,said: “The installation of the gates is part of the restora-tion of the Guildhall, for much of the building’s historythere had been gates there, the fittings have always beenin place.

“The original gates were probably removed around100 years ago during the previous restoration of theGuildhall.

“The outer gates facing onto Church Street were putup in the 1950s and were dedicated to those who fell inthe Second World War, so it is fitting that the new innergates are dedicated to First World War servicemen. Ithink it is right that they commemorate such an impor-tant event in history, not just for the school but for thewhole country.

“The gates include the seal of the Guild of the HolyCross, which was created by taking a 3D scan of a waxseal and commissioning a company to cast it in bronzefor us.”

This club member has gone on tomake a full recovery and is back onthe river and competing to the delight

of everybody at the club. At the timeWill wanted no fuss and no recogni-tion but the club wanted to take theoccasion of the AGM to mark a veryspecial “Thank You” to recognise thisgreat example to all.�

Search is on for fundraiser of the year

FOOTBALLERS inWarwick are supporting alocal mum’s mission towalk again with a charitymatch.

Estelle Mancini, 30, wasstruck down by a mysteryillness before Christmasafter developing a nigglingcough and pains in her side.

In a last effort to helpEstelle, she was transferredto Leicester Hospitalwhere, after being hookedup to a specialist ECMOmachine, it was determinedthat she was suffering withviral pneumonia which hadturned to septicemia.

Thankfully Estelle beganto breathe for herself againand was transferred back toWarwick, though doctorswere unable to prevent herlosing her toes and the tipsof three fingers, which hadturned black.

Estelle is currently in awheelchair, unable to startphysiotherapy due to aninfection in her heels.

Estelle’s uncle SteveMancini said: “Estelle is avery strong woman and thatcertainly helps. At onepoint when she was reallyill they called in all thefamily to the hospital, theydidn’t think that she wouldsee the next morning. There

were about 16 of us inthere, that’s not somethingthey do very often.”

Keen to help Estelle’srecovery, friends andfamily are aiming to raise£15,000 to buy a set ofprosthetic toes to help herwalk again.

Almost £10,000 hasalready been raised andover the weekend a localfootball team played acharity football match to dotheir bit for Estelle.

Warwick Wanderers tookon a Steve Mancini Eleven,at Racing Warwick FC.

Steve added: “Thisfundraising has given her anew lease of life, she’sabsolutely over the moon atthe prospect of gettingthese prosthetic feet.

“The support we havehad with the fundraisinghas been unbelievable.”

Let’s help fundraisershave a purple patch

SIXTEEN years agothe residents of Strat-ford and the sur-rounding towns andvillages came togetheras a community andraised the funds to openThe Shakespeare Hos-pice.

Now it is a nationallyrecognised, award-winning,charity which provides avital and unique service toStratford and the widercommunity.

On Friday, 24th June thehospice is asking people toShake it Purple for TheShakespeare Hospice andhelp raise funds for thenursing staff and servicesthe hospice provides.

Encouraging everyone toget involved, Vikki Calcutt,head of income generationadded: “Fundraising doesn’thave to be boring!

“The success of cam-paigns such as Red NoseDay and Children in Need,show us that we can have allkinds of fun raising moneyand it would be lovely ifpeople could show theirsupport in an enjoyableway, for a charity that isclose to the hearts of thelocal community.”

To get started and supportthe hospice people need toregister for a freefundraising pack whichincludes a bucket and a tinor money box to collectdonations.

“Whether it be in theoffice, at school or at home,everyone can do their bit for

The Shakespeare Hospice.There are many easy waysto get involved. Why nothold a ‘Bake it Purple’ dayat school or your local com-munity centre, encourageyour colleagues to showtheir support by wearing ‘APiece of Purple’ to work orhost a Purple Bingo eveningwith your friends?” saidVikki.

The Shakespeare Hospicereceives only around 7 percent funding from the Gov-ernment, making it thelowest funded hospice inthe whole of the UK.

Kate Hall, head of clin-ical services, said: “Thehospice is a fantastic causeand relies almost solely ondonations to keep deliv-ering vital care to the localcommunity. Without thissupport, we wouldn’t beable to provide expert andspecialist care to thoseliving with a life-limitingillness, whether it be here atthe hospice, or in the com-fort of their own home.”

The Shake it Purple cam-paign was launched onThursday and runs up to thebig fundraising day on the24th June where the hospicewill be holding an outdoorevent in Kenilworth.

Danger Comesin Many FormsA NEW campaign to warnWarwickshire residentsabout the dangers ofsharing their personal andfinancial information inmarketing questionnaires,surveys and prize drawforms, has been launched.

The Danger Comes inMany Forms campaign hasbeen set up by Warwick-shire County Council toprevent this valuable infor-mation falling into thehands of fraudsters.

Research shows that con-sumers often inadvertentlygive consent to receivingmarketing by post or tele-phone, perhaps not noticingthe small print about how

information will be shared.Warwickshire County

Councillor, John Horner,Portfolio Holder for Com-munity Safety, said: “Everyweek, WarwickshireTrading Standards is bom-barded with complaintsfrom consumers who havereceived fraudulent phonecalls, bogus e-mails andscam post.”

“Trading Standards Offi-cers are already workingwith some of the county’smost vulnerable and elderlyresidents to stop unwantedcommunications.”

The council recommendspeople follow tips to pre-vent becoming victims.

Among the advice issuedis for residents to be waryof marketing surveys, ques-tionnaires, competitionsand prize draws and toremove your name andaddress from 192.com andsimilar UK directories.

Other tips include fillingout a form requesting yourdetails are not added to theEdited Electoral Register,screening phone calls, set-ting up junk filters on youre-mail and putting a ‘nojunk mail’ sign on your door.

For further informationand advice on consumerissues contact the Citizens’Advice helpline on 03454040506.

YOUNGSTERS at Winch-combe Farm Day Nurseryin Upper Tysoe have liter-ally ‘grown wings’ whilestudying the life cycle ofbutterflies.

Children at the nurseryhave been watching howthree caterpillars formedthemselves into pupas, alsoknown as a chrysalis, andthen emerged as adult but-terflies.

Winchcombe Farm DayNursery Manager RachelGiorgio said: “This was afun activity aimed athelping the children under-

stand life cycles. We suc-cessfully hatched three but-terflies using a special kitthat made the wholeprocess interactive andvery visual for young chil-dren to follow.

“We’ve been looking atthe caterpillars each dayand talking about howthey’ve changed and whatis different about them asthey develop.

The children have beenvery excited aboutreleasing them from theirnet today and we wavedthem goodbye.”

Learning takes flight

Students qualify fornational dance final

‘Rambert Elements’, introduced thisacademic year by the world-renownedRambert dance company, is a chal-lenge designed to raise the profile ofchoreography in secondary schoolsand colleges across the UK.�

Six regional performances tookplace earlier this year, with one groupfrom each being invited to perform atthe national finals.

Having been chosen winners of theMidlands heat at the Royal ConcertHall in Nottingham on 29th February, the Stratford students willnow compete in the 2016 NationalShowcase in London on Tuesday, 28th June, where they will be accompanied by the RambertOrchestra.��

Stratford Level 3 Dance studentHannah Medley, 16, commented: “Iliterally screamed when I found outwe were through to the final.

“It’s one of my dreams to perform inthe West End and now it’s going tohappen. It’s overwhelming – a once ina lifetime opportunity.

“The other groups were really goodbut I was so pleased with our choreog-raphy. We obviously had what

Rambert were looking for!”The aim of ‘Rambert Elements’ is to

give students the chance to create andperform an original dance piece withhelp from Rambert’s leading choreog-raphers, who produced ‘toolkits’ forthe participating groups.

Each toolkit contained ideasincluding a theme – complete withtitle and suggested sources of inspira-tion – a piece of music, sequences ofmovement demonstrated by Rambertdancers and some helpful tips from

the Rambert choreographer.�Kath Waters, Dance lecturer at

Stratford-upon-Avon College, isextremely proud of her group of youngdancers. She said: “I’m delighted forthem – they have worked incrediblyhard and thoroughly deserve theirplace in the final.”

New legislationon ‘legal highs’

The Psychoactive Sub-stances Act will provide ablanket ban on the produc-tion, supply and importationof psychoactive substances— that is any substanceintended for human con-sumption that is capable ofproducing a psychoactiveeffect.

Legitimate substances,such as food, alcohol,tobacco, nicotine, caffeineand medical products areexcluded.

The legislation will fun-damentally change the waypolice forces tackle thesesubstances and will makenew drugs that appear onthe market illegal quickerthan ever before.

Warwickshire Police andWest Mercia Police will bepolicing the act in a prac-tical and proportionatemanner, as well as placing a

great emphasis on an educa-tional and preventativeapproach, along withpartner agencies.

Detective Chief InspectorAlly Wright, business leadfor drugs for the alliance,said: “We are committed topreventing the harm causedby illegal drugs and this leg-islation gives us newpowers to tackle psychoac-tive substances.

“The effects of these sub-stances can be devastating,even fatal.

“Users can never be sureof exactly what they con-tain, the side effects theycould have or what long-term damage they could

cause. We would urgepeople never to even con-sider taking them.

“We will take actionwhere we find people com-mitting offences under thisact. Punishments rangefrom a prohibition notice,which is a formal warning,to seven years in prison.”

Officers have been givenpowers to stop and searchpeople, vehicles and vesselsand enter and search prem-ises in accordance with awarrant, and to seize anddestroy psychoactive sub-stances.

Advice and support canbe found at www.talk-tofrank.com

People who have infor-mation about the supply ofpsychoactive substances areencouraged to contact themby calling 101, or this infor-mation can be passed onanonymously by contactingthe independent charityCrimestoppers on 0800 555111 or by visitingwww.crimestoppers-uk.org

Demand for electric cars on the waneTHE number of electric carson Britain’s roads may haveshot up to more than 40,000from just 3,500 two yearsago, but a new survey hasshown that only three percent of motorists are inter-ested in buying one in thenext five years, so saysinsurance broker AdrianFlux.

Its survey found that,while more than 23 per centremain undecided about thenew technology, just threeper cent of respondentswere considering swappingthe pump for the plug.

Despite the potentialfinancial and environmentalbenefits of owning an elec-tric car, and the increasingrollout of infrastructure,more than 73 per cent of the1,784 motorists surveyed by

Flux, which specialises inproviding cover for modi-fied and unusual vehicles,said that they were not plan-ning to buy one.

These figures representonly a small rise in interestsince a 2012 survey by thebroker found that just twoper cent of motorists wereconsidering switching to anelectric car, with 28 per centundecided.

Gerry Bucke, generalmanager at Flux, said:“Many of the 1,785 peoplewho took our survey saidthat they felt electric cars, orat least hybrids, would oneday be commonplace on ourroads, but most thought thatthere were still many hur-dles for manufacturers tojump through before thathappened.

“Despite an increasednumber of charging pointsin the UK, many motoristsstill suffer from range anx-iety, which is somethingwhich won’t disappear untilchargers are as widespreadas petrol stations, chargingis as quick as filling up, andelectric cars can offer sim-ilar ranges to current vehi-cles.

“Despite the governmentgrant, new electric cars stilltend to cost more than theirpetrol or diesel-poweredcousins, which remains anissue for many, as do thesupposed environmentalbenefits. People remainunconvinced about the prac-ticality of the technology asit stands, as well as whetherthe cars are as green asmanufacturers claim.”

Focused Melanie ready torelaunch triathlon careerA STRATFORD physiothera-pist who thought she hadbeen forced into retirementfrom triathlon is making adramatic return to the toplevel in her age group thanksto revolutionary stem celltechnology treatment.

Melanie Betts had suffered fromchronic intermittent AchillesTendinopthy for several years butit flared up disastrously at theWorld Championships in Chicagolast September and she only man-aged to finish in 39th place;despite finishing the bike leg inaround 15th place.

Now, after being one of the firstBritish athletes to undergo stemcell technology treatment, the 49-year-old is back competing forTeam GB in the European Cham-pionships on 29th May in Lisbon,having taken part in her firsttriathlon in Tewkesbury last week.

She’s aiming for the EuropeanHalf Ironman Championships inAustria at the start of Septemberas her main event this year and theWorld Long Distance Champi-

onships in Oklahoma at the end ofSeptember and considers herself apodium contender in the 2017World Championships in Rot-terdam.

Betts is married to AndrewClarke who farms at AbbotsMorton near Alcester. The couplehave two children, Grace agednine, and Isobel aged six. She toldus about her amazing recovery andthe relaunch of her athleticscareer.

She said: “I’m a former TeamGB physiotherapist and currentlyrun practices at Atherstone and theleading Wildmoor Spa and HealthClub in Stratford.

“I was treating the founder ofthe club when I learned he is alsoa director of CT Ltd Therapywhich happened to be conductingresearch into stem cell therapy forAchilles tendinopathy. I managedto get on the trials in Greece andthis involved me flying there twiceand self-treating at home.

“Tenocytes are the buildingblocks of tendons where themuscle joins onto the bone. I hadto rub a gel into my leg which thetendon absorbed.

“The gel contains growth fac-

tors in a platelet lysate gel calledTendoncelTM.

“These are isolated plateletgrowth factors reconstituted withinthe cellulose derivative gel. Thegrowth and repair of the tendon isencouraged — resulting in repara-tion and rebuilding of the collagenmatrix or the body within thestructure of the tendon itself.

“Over a three-month period Iwent from not being able to run atall to full run-training. I achievedresults in a very short space oftime, less than four weeks, on achronic problem which had beenon and off for ten years.

“Within the first week to tendays I started slow jogging andthen, on day 21, I was back inGreece and I ran five miles alongthe waterfront there before myfinal reading.

“So I’d gone from not runningat all back to a decent pace overfive miles in three weeks. I had tosend photos and measurements ofmy leg twice a week. I was theonly athlete taking part in thetrials.

“Since Christmas I’ve beenracing pain free and winning localand regional events again.”

WARWICK’S Andrew Johnsonrode his own Quintons Ernest to acoveted place at the pretigiousHorse of the Year show.

Johnson came out on top of thecob class at the SEIB InsuranceBroker’s Search for a Star 2016HOYS qualifier held at HoughtonHall in Cambridgeshire on 15thMay.

The 24-year-old’s full IrishDraught gelding, known as Ernie,was originally bought as a winterproject to work on whilstJohnson’s other horse was injured.

“He never recovered, so Erniestayed,” explains Andrew, whoworks as a farrier.

The gelding has overcome aconfidence crisis to make it to thetop spot at Houghton.

“He was very timid to beginwith,” said Johnson.

“We came to Search for a Starlast year and he was pulled in top,but he spooked with the ridejudge. He wasn’t ready but he hasreally grown up now.”

Andrew hopes to start jumpingErnie, whose favourite treat isfresh raspberries, later this year.He will aim the cob at the IrishDraught Championships againand hopes to try some RoyalInternational qualifiers.
