WELCOME
W
elcome to our Latest YES Magazine, now available to 10,000 homes and businesses in the Old Colwyn, Rhyl, Rhuddlan and Prestatyn Areas. After having great success in the Llandudno, Conwy, Colwyn Bay areas, we have been encouraged by many of our readers and advertisers to expand a little further afield. Our aim is to encourage our advertisers and readers to stay Local and to help make our local businesses more successful and competitive. Every edition we run a FREE ‘Whats on Page’ at the back of the magazine for the convenience of our readers and to promote local events. Please let us know if you wish to be included in this.
We also have a very successful Website and Business Directory and all our advertisers automatically feature free of charge on both of these, thus further promoting their products. We are always very interested to hear from our local readers who may have a funny story to tell, an interesting poem they have written or anything else which may be of interest to other readers. As YES Magazine is for you the community we try to pepper it with editorial that is current and interesting as well as puzzles for all the family. It is a magazine you can keep and read over and over again. There is a list of useful Contact No’s at the back in case of emergencies and for general convenience ie. cinemas, schools, hospitals. We hope very much you will enjoy our magazine and help us to help you by keeping it interesting, useful and current. Both our magazines are delivered FREE to 20,000 homes and businesses between Conwy and Prestatyn, so if you have a business and would like to advertise then please contact us.

Cars to enjoy in your retirement
Y
ou’ve worked hard, looked after the pennies and sacrificed your preferred choice of wheels for family cars. However, things are different now: the children have flown the nest, you’ve got time on your hands and more importantly more cash, so why not treat yourself to a new set of wheels? Retirement is the perfect time to take advantage of lower insurance premiums and empty roads (everyone else is at work), but the hard part is what to choose. Here we take a look at five cars to suit five different needs… The Grandparents Called Into Duty choice… Audi Q7 Our pick: 3.0 TDI Clean Diesel S Line, £47,290 A large part of enjoying retirement is the luxury of having time to lend a hand looking after your grandchildren. The thing is, little ones come with a lot of baggage, so you’ll need a car that can fit it all in. The Q7 is a great solution. Not only has it got acres of spaces, efficient diesel engine choices and a great specification, it’s also fabulous to drive. The I’ve Got A Reputation To Uphold choice… BMW 5-Series Our pick: 520d SE Touring, £31,830 The new 5 Series is a marked improvement on the out-going model. It not only looks better now the design has been toned down, but the engines are even more efficient. If you’ve spent your life in the boardroom, you’ll know how good a BMW is and there’s no reason you shouldn’t enjoy a new one now. We’d go for the Touring (estate) version, which looks stunning and has plenty of room too. Just don’t go mad on the options list! The I’ve Got To Have A Sportscar choice… Jaguar XKR Our pick: XKR Coupe, £77,900 You’ve worked hard for it, so why not splash the cash on something that’ll make an impression at the golf club? We’d resist the urge to buy a Porsche 911 (despite the force being strong) and instead head for a Jag dealership. The XK-R is a cracking car to look at, great to drive and sounds incredible, but above all it’s comfortable. If you really want to blow the budget, find another £6k and opt for the convertible. The Keeping An Eye On The Pennies choice… Hyundai ix35 Our pick: 1.7 CRDI Premium, £19,345 If you’re looking for a car that’s good to drive, comfortable, won’t cost the earth and has a decent warranty, then the ix35 is a great option. Hyundai has really upped its game with this soft-roader in terms of build quality and feel. It looks great and the high-level driving position gives a commanding view of the road. Just beware lead times are long so get that order in well before you want to take delivery. The Chance To Relive Your Youth choice… VW Golf GTI Our pick: GTI, £25,045 The Golf GTI has been a fixture in most of our motoring lives for decades, but we’d hazard a guess that although you always wanted one, it never really fit in with your lifestyle. Well, now’s your chance. The MK6 is the latest version and even though it’s put on a few pounds since the legendary MK1 arrived it’s still very good indeed. The 2.0-litre TSI lump serves up 207bhp, which is good for 60mph in 6.9 seconds and, as it’s built by Germans, it’ll stay the course too. James Baggott, editor of Car Dealer Magazine (CarDealerMag.co.uk)

Foot Care It is wonderful to be able to throw off our boots and socks during the summer and to wear colourful open shoes. But if you have cracked heels and overgrown toenails, those summer sandals should be left in the cupboard until you have taken the time to give your feet a bit of love and attention. Dry heels or any areas of hard skin are the first uglies that should be dealt with. With the trend of taking a shower rather than a bath – all the more so in the summer – your feet don’t have a chance to soak. Run a bowl of warm water with some moisturising bath oil or even a little olive oil. Leave your feet to soak for at least five minutes, then using a pumice stone or foot file rub away the hard areas. Using an exfoliating granular foot scrub will remove surface dry skin from the whole foot. Toenails next. They should be cut straight across with a strong pair of nailclippers, then any rough edges taken off with a good quality nail file. Don’t cut them too short though or you risk exposing delicate

skin. Put some cuticle remover cream around the base of the nail, then using an orangewood stick gently push the cuticles back. Hairy toes might have been fine for Bigfoot, but it’s not a good look for you, so use wax or cream to remove any hair on your toes. Then apply a rich moisturizer all over your feet and leave it to soak in for as long as possible. Use a little nail varnish remover to clean your toenails before applying two thin coats of nail varnish. Finally, if you find that you have difficulty even reaching your feet, let alone scrubbing and clipping, a professional pedicure is well worth the money and will last several weeks.

Are you ready for the Welsh carrier bag charge? The Welsh Government wants to drastically reduce the number of bags given away in Wales. So from 1 October 2011, you’ll pay at least 5 p for all single use carrier bags. The carrier bag charge will apply in all shops including clothes stores, take away food outlets and restaurants, corner shops and market stalls. It will also apply when you have goods delivered in Wales, such as dot.com groceries. You can avoid the charge by taking your own bags shopping with you. What bags are included in the charge? All single use carrier bags are included in the charge.This includes bags made of plastic, paper and degradable material.
M C b
O r a I
w
What bags are not included in the charge? Only bags used in certain circumstances, such as ones used for unpackaged food like meat, vegetables or poultry are exempt. Bags used to carry free prescriptions or other items which are supplied free on the NHS are not included in the charge. Any bags that are intended to be reused for example ‘bags for life’ and those made from cloth, jute, or cotton are also not included in the charge. Why take action on carrier bags? During 2009-10, in Wales we took home an estimated 350 million carrier bags from the major supermarkets alone. Bags are bad for the environment as they are a waste of resources, create litter and harm wildlife. For more information you can visit www.carrierbagchargewales.gov.uk email: carrierbagcharge@wales.gsi.gov.uk or Phone 02920 826230

Gardening
Japanese Maple - Acer palmatum Every garden has space for one of these wonderful trees. With over a thousand varieties to choose from there is a specimen for everyone. From tiny shrubs to trees reaching 30m tall, these beautiful trees fit in anywhere. Some cultivars grow well in containers and all are favoured by bonsai specialists. The acer’s speciality is its wide range of foliage shapes and vivid autumn leaf colours. Some of the colours seem to glow with an inner light that brightens up the dullest of autumn days. Acers are deciduous, but the delicate branch formation adds structural interest through the winter. As long as they are protected from strong winds, acers are fairly easy to grow. They prefer neutral to acid well-drained soil and grow best without too much fertiliser. They appreciate some shade as the delicate leaves can be scorched by strong sun. Pruning is rarely necessary except to remove dead branches. The huge range of leaf colours include red, purple, all shades of green and variegated mixes of all of these. The stunning foliage ranges from feathery and light to solid true maple-leaf shapes. Some species are also grown for their attractive bark. An acer is truly a plant for all seasons.

Monkfish has a wonderful firm flesh with a meaty flavour and is well suited to roasting, however cod loin or a thick piece of salmon fillet will work just as well.
Ser ves Tak 4 One es hou r
700g (1lb 9oz) monkfish fillet 2tbsp olive oil 1tsp lemon juice 1 tbsp Cajun seasoning 8 medium-sized waxy potatoes, such as Desiree Salt and freshly ground black pepper 225g (8oz) cherry tomatoes 1 lemon, sliced Sunflower oil for shallow frying Cut the monkfish into large chunks and place in a shallow roasting tin. Mix together the oil and lemon juice and pour over the fish. Sprinkle over the Cajun seasoning. Cover and set aside for 15 minutes. Preheat the oven to 200C/400F/Gas 6. Place the unpeeled potatoes in a large pan of salted water. Bring to the boil and boil for 5 mins. Drain and leave to cool for 10 mins. Peel the skins off the potatoes and coarsely grate the potato flesh into a bowl. Season well with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Using your hands, divide and shape the grated potato into about 8 flat cakes. Place the lemon slices in the roasting tin with the monkfish and cook in the oven for 15 minutes. Add the cherry tomatoes and cook for a further 5-8 minutes until the fish is just cooked through and the tomatoes are tender. Heat 30-45ml (2-3tbsp) oil in a large non-stick frying pan. Fry the potato rosti, in batches, for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown, adding more oil as necessary. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on kitchen paper. Arrange the potato rosti on serving plates and top with the roast monkfish, lemon slices and tomatoes. Pour over any juices left in the roasting tin and serve immediately.
TOP TIP - If you’re not too keen on cajun then replace with a sprinkling of dried Italian herbs.
