                - THE
                  PETS  at Home store in Southport' Ocean Plaza invited
                  people to ferret down to the store this on the 10 January, as
                  it played host to the Exotic Animal Welfare Trust and some of
                  its furry ferret friends!
 
                   
                  While Pets at Home does not sell ferrets, they are the number
                  one pet choice in the USA and becoming increasingly popular in
                  the UK. In response to the growing popularity, Pets at
                  Home  booked The Exotic Animal Welfare Trust experts to
                  host ferret events at its pet superstores.  
                  More
                  photos and full report next week.

                 - LIVERPOOL 
                  Airport was sealed off by police after the horrific death of
                  Michael Howard on the morning of Tuesday 6 January. 
 
                   
                  Police were called at 5:35am following reports of a man being
                  run down by a car. Mr Howard, who was 57 years old and from
                  the Preston area, was due to go on holiday to Malaga with his
                  wife, when he was run over by thieves trying to steal his
                  silver Volvo car. 
              
                - 
                  
 
                  Mr Howard's wife has issued the following statement:-  "This was a happy time, and we were going on a holiday that we were really looking forward to. The people who've done this had no regard for Michael's safety, or for anyone else. Michael was a much loved husband and father and we are completely devastated by what's happened. We would like to be left to grieve in peace, and to try to come to terms with Michael's death, but want people to help the police. Someone must know who has done this and we would ask that they please come forward and speak to the police." 
                   
                  Following the plea for help Detectives in Liverpool detained a
                  19 year old man from Woolton arrested on Tuesday, and a 20
                  year old man from Speke, arrested on Wednesday. A further two
                  were arrested on Thursday 8 January. A 21 year old and a 17
                  year old from Speke,
