A TEENAGER who spent almost a year ina rehabilitation centre after slipping onice is back home.

Jack Mitchell-Ryan, 17, was out with friends whenhe fell in Barnsley town centre and hit his head.

He needed emergency surgery to remove twoblood clots on his brain and has had to learn basicskills like talking again.

Jack spent nearly a year at the Keresforth Centrewhere he proposed to girlfriend Paige beforereturning home to Midland Road, Royston, lastmonth.

“I like being by myself and being able to do whatI want. I’ve got my independence back,” he said.

“I can play music really loud and Paige has beentaking me out on the buses to Meadowhall and totown to see a mate’s band.

“I’m 18 in two weeks and I’m hoping to go toBlackpool for the weekend to see my auntie wholives there and stay with her.”

Parents Lynne and Steve have been able to returnto work with carers visiting Jack in the morningand at lunchtime.

“It’s great to have him home. He’s a lot happierand more settled at home,” said Steve, 38.

“It is hard living like this at the moment becausethe house isn’t set up for it but hopefully we’llmove soon.”

The family plan on moving to a new house withmore of the modifications needed to help Jackkeep up his rehabilitation. Nurses believe he will bewalking by Christmas but hope it will be muchsooner and Jack hopes he will be able to enrol backat Barnsley College soon. A fund-raiser will be heldfor Jack at Royston Klondyke WMC on March 4with bands Solid State, Metalworks and Blackoutplaying. Tickets are available from the club and allproceeds will go to Jack’s rehabilitation.

AN archive featuring a banner fromthe Miners’ Strike has opened inRoyston.

The archive, at Royston LifelongLearning Centre, is a permanentdisplay by the Royston branch ofWomen Against Pit Closures.

Coun Graham Kyte said: “I wouldput Women Against Pit Closures upthere alongside the Bryant and MayMatch Girls, the Suffragettes.

”It is right and proper that theirefforts should be recorded for futuregenerations.”

ABOUT £300 was raised to help a Royston womanrefurbish her home after it was ruined by a burstpipe.

Janice Senior, 64, moved back to her bungalowon Robin Hood Avenue earlier this month after aleak caused the ceiling to fall through in December.

She said: “I want to thank the Roystoncommunity for their support and overwhelminggenerosity, everyone has been marvellous.”

The money was raised at a coffee morning andbake sale at the community centre on Robin HoodAvenue and has been used to buy bedding, towelsand crockery.

Janice’s daughter Sharon Hindle cancelled herholiday to Tenerife to pay for a bed, sofa and otheritems.

“Without my daughter I don’t know what Iwould’ve done,” said Janice.

She performed a backflip,which went wrong, leaving herwith a dislocated knee and tornligaments, an injury whichrequired surgery.

Jenna said: “I can’t wait. I hadthe accident in May so it’ll takeme a few months to get back tohow I was before.

“I have an intensiverehabilitation programme andphysio and I spend a lot of timein the gym strengthening myleg so it can support my knee.”

Jenna said she had been doing‘basic skating’ on the street andwill return to training inLiverpool next month if she getsthe go ahead from herconsultant.

She added: “I don’t have atarget, I’m just taking it slowly.

“I don’t want to compete andnot do very well because of myknee or because I haven’ttrained.

“I want to be back to fullhealth before I compete.”

Although she will be skating,Jenna’s knee won’t be 100 percent back to normal until July.

“I’ve got to be really carefuluntil then but I can get back onthe ramp and start building itup. I’ll try some tricks I used todo and if they’re ok I’ll trysomething more difficult,” shesaid.

Jenna has been a professionalin-line skater since she was 12years old and was crowned LGAction Sports World Championin 2008. She has been BritishChampion on ten occasions andis a former X-Games silvermedallist.

FIRE-FIGHTERS at the retainedfire station in Royston havebeen banned from enteringshops which are on firebecause they haven’t had thecorrect training.

The officers have been told they ‘donot meet the right criteria’ and needtraining in scenarios involving chemi-cals, high-rise fires and aviation fires,following a report by the Health andSafety Executive.

But a retained fireman said people’slives were in danger.

He said: “If Cudworth are out, thenearest pump is Barnsley. What hap-pens if a shop is on fire and it spreadsto a flat? God forbid anything hap-pens.”

The source said retained officers havehad the same training as full-time fire-fighters.

He added: “We have a number ofhours a month for drill time where wepractice scenarios and they are sayingwe don’t meet the criteria. We getthree hours a week but it’s got to be23 hours a month so we are short by13 hours.”

John Gilliver, chairman of the FireBrigades’ Union, said the HSE report

investigated eight brigades and high-lights ‘incompetencies’ which neededbringing up to date and that the movewas only temporary.

He added: “We, as a union, havebeen saying fire-fighters, no matterwhat shift system they work, should becompetent in all areas. For it to havebeen identified that not all firefightersare competent has being worrying forus so we’re happy with the actionSouth Yorkshire Fire and Rescue hastaken to get this back up to speed assoon as possible.”

Coun Jim Andrews, chairman of theSouth Yorkshire Fire and RescueAuthority, said: “They (retained offi-cers) will have to do community safetywork and they are being asked to putin some extra training days but thisshould be sorted out in the next cou-ple of months.

“Hopefully it won’t put people’s livesin danger. There is more whole timeresponse and as I understand it there isas little as 60 per cent turn out rates forretained services.

“On the other hand there are manywhole time fire-fighters who doretained duties. It’s only a small part ofretained crews that need the training.”

Ethos Holly Tree Lodge is one of several homes owned by

Redrose Care Ltd.

The philosophy of the company is to provide a

homely, friendly, safe and supportive environment

for our residents and relatives while maintaining

respect and dignity. We aim to maintain the highest

standards of care and well-being for every resident

through our trained and dedicated management

and staff team. We’re proud of our homes and we’re

proud of our people. We are sure you will be too.

Management and Staffing The home is run by registered manager Lynne

nurses and R.G. nurses. All care staff have either

achieved NVQ 2 or are working towards it. Kitchen

staff are working towards NVQ in hostelry. All staff

have excellent skills and knowledge in caring,

particularly in dementia care.

Health Care We have our own local GP who

visits the home on every

Tuesday for non urgent cases, but is on call 24

hours a day for emergency cases. You would be

welcome to join this GP practice, but you are also

welcome to keep your own GP if it is in the

catchment area. A district nurse visits the home on

a regular basis and will meet the nursing needs you

may require.

Environment A home is not just about great facilities, it’s about

people and personality, laughter and warmth. That’s

what makes our home a lively and enjoyable place

to live. At Holly Tree Lodge each resident has their

own room which will be newly decorated and

furnished, each resident can choose their own

decor. Many rooms have TV points and telephone

points can be connected to individual rooms. You

have the choice of four lounges, well situated

around the home to enable you and your family to

enjoy your family visits or just enjoy the different

views from the large windows overlooking the

gardens. For those wanting some quiet time one of

the lounges is a quiet room with no TV or radio,

allowing for peace and quiet. The home is also

enhanced by a lovely, secure and secluded garden

where residents can walk around without coming to

harm and a sitting area that visitors can also enjoy

with the residents. The home caters for 34

residents. Our home is arranged over two

floors with access to the first floor by

convenient passenger lift or by the two

staircases. Holly Tree Lodge now also has a

EMI Nursing Unit, to provide continuity of care

for the residents with dementia.

Activities Activities are carried out in-house seven days a

week and we encourage you to maintain the

hobbies which interest you, or maybe learn new

hobbies. We also have outings throughout the year

such as trips to local interests. In-house

entertainers visit the home on a regular basis,

playing the keyboard, so you can enjoy a sing-along

to music from the 40s to 50s.

Other services We have a hairdresser who visits the home on a

weekly basis, at reasonable cost. We have a

chiropodist who visits the home every six weeks,

there is a small charge for this service.

nutritional dietery needs of every individual. All

meals are prepared with local fresh produce.

Refreshments and snacks are available throughout

the day.
