Editor’s Letter Well I think we are starting to see signs of a summer, nice weather, warmer days & nights, smell of BBQs.

Mentioning BBQs, we have some great restaurants and pubs which I am sure will be offering their own selection of barbecue food and other delicious meals to choose from at a reasonable cost, why not give them a try. We also have a BBQ recipe from the Big Chef As usual we like to feature some of our great selection of advertisers, in this issue it is Clown Around in Colwyn Bay, who has everything for your party needs, so if you have any special occasions coming soon and you are planning a party then Clown Around is the place to visit.. Also for that really special occasion why not rent your very own chauffer driven Mercedes, from VIP Travel Services. see p49 for more details Our charity page this month is on Domestic Abuse a very important issue and a very worthwhile cause. I would like to thank all our readers who have contacted us with some of their ideas & comments, I would like to remind everyone that YES Mag is your local community magazine and whether you are an advertiser or one of our readers, please contact us if there is anything you would like to see included, we would be more than happy to hear from you and do not forget if you have any events happening, let us add it to our free events diary.

Can We Help

 In previous years Domestic Violence was treated as a civil family dispute and was very much hidden from the Police, over rece nt years the number of Domestic incidents reported has increased, this is not to say that the number of Domestic incidents has increased, it has always b een there, what it does say is that the victims are beginning to trust the Police and the supporting agencies and are starting to report the abuse and get the he lp they need.

 Yn y gorffennol cafodd Trais Domestig ei drin fel anghydfod teuluol sifil oedd yn cael ei gadw o olwg yr Heddlu. Gwelwyd cynnydd yn y nifer o ddigwyddiadau Domestig sy‟n cael eu riportio yn y blynyddoedd diwethaf, ond nid yw hyn yn arwydd o gynnydd yn y nifer o ddigwyddiadau Domestig – roedd yn digwydd ar hyd y blynyddoedd. Yr hyn sy‟n digwydd yw bod dioddefwyr yn dechrau ymddiried yn yr Heddlu a'r asiantaethau cefnogol, ac maent wedi dechrau riportio'r gamdriniaeth er mwyn cael y cymorth maen nhw ei angen.

 North Wales Police display a zero tolerence approach to Domestic Abuse and positive action is taken every time, the action ta ken is various depending on the nature of the incident and the overall safety of the victim.

 Mae Heddlu Gogledd Cymru yn gwrthod goddef Cam-drin Domestig, ac yn gweithredu bob tro. Mae‟r gweithrediadau yn amrywio ac yn dibynnu ar natur y digwyddiad ynghyd â diogelwch cyffredinol y dioddefwr.

 Domestic Violence Officers (DVO) are in place within the force working within the Public Protection Unit, your area has its o wn DVO - Details as above.  Mae Swyddogion Trais Domestig yn gweithio o fewn yr Heddlu yn yr Uned Diogelwch Cyhoeddus; mae Swyddog Trais Domestig yn eich ardal – manylion fel uchod.

 North Wales Police encourage all victims of Domestic Abuse to report the incidents, they understand that this is extremely difficult to do and therefore are trained to be professional and act in the best interest of the victim and the children involved.

 Mae Heddlu Gogledd Cymru yn annog pob dioddefwr Camdriniaeth Domestig i riportio‟r digwyddiad. Mae‟r Swyddogion yn deall bod hyn yn beth anodd iawn ei wneud ac felly yn cael eu hyfforddi i fod yn broffesiynol ac i weithredu er budd gorau‟r dioddefwyr a‟r plant sy‟n cael eu heffeithio.

 Domestic Abuse is not acceptable, if you are, or know of someone that is experiencing abuse, North Wales Police encourage you to report it and get the help you need to get away from the situation.

 Nid yw Cam-drin Domestig yn dderbyniol. Os ydych yn gwybod am rywun, neu os ydych chi‟n dioddef camdriniaeth, mae Heddlu Gogledd Cymru yn eich annog i‟w riportio ac i gael y cymorth yr ydych ei angen i symud draw o'r sefyllfa.

 Everyone is responsible for tackling Domestic Abuse, working together has proven to be the most successful method of putting a stop to it.  Mae pawb yn gyfrifol am fynd i‟r afael â Cham-drin Domestig. Profwyd mai gweithio gyda'n gilydd yw'r ffordd orau o'i atal.  If you are a victim of Domestic Abuse and require advice, please contact Claire or the other support agencies as above.  Os ydych yn dioddef Camdriniaeth Domestig ac os oes arnoch angen cymorth, cysylltwch â Claire neu‟r asiantaethau cefnogol era ill a welir uchod 18

Recipes for July & August - by Peter Osborne - The Big Chef The Big Chefs BBQ Steamed Sea Bass with Pak Choi Small piece of root ginger , peeled and sliced 2 garlic cloves, finely sliced 2 spring onions, finely sliced 2 tbsp soy sauce 1 tbsp sesame oil splash of dry sherry 2 x 140g fillets sea bass 2 heads pak choi, quartered

Figs and Blackberries on Toast Cooks in 7 minutes Serves 2 6 figs 60 grams blackberries Juice and rind of 1 orange 1 tablespoon crème de Cassis

For cinnamon toast ½ tablespoon caster sugar ¼ teaspoon cinnamon 15g butter 2 slices brioche Fromage Frais to serve

In a small bowl, mix all of the ingredients, except the fish and the pak choi, together to make a soy mix. Take a large piece of foil and fold in two so that you have a double layer of foil. Lay the fish, skin side up, on the foil and spoon over the soy mix. Place the fish skin side down on to the foil, pour some of the soy sauce over the fish, place the pak choi on top and drizzle the rest of the soy mix over the pak choi. Fold the foil over to make a secure parcel and place on a rack over the hot coals of a barbeque. Leave everything to steam for 6-8 minutes until the pak choi has wilted and the fish is cooked. Divide the pak choi between two plates, then carefully lift out the fish. Lift the foil up and drizzle the tasty juices back over the fish. PS If using the oven, make a double wrap foil parcel, and cook in the oven at 180 for 10-12 minutes depending on how thick the fish fillets are.

Cut figs into quarters not all way through Make a double wrap of foil big enough to fold up to make a parcel Place the figs and blackberries into the centre of each piece of foil. Cut orange rind into thin strips, put on top of figs and blackberries then drizzle with cassis and orange juice Bring up edges of foil to make parcels. Cook the parcels on BBQ for 8 minutes. Mix sugar, cinnamon and melted butter on 1 side of brioche and toast on barbeque Serve with hot fig figs on top Top with fromage frais

This months tip:-

If you have been preparing fish, onion or garlic and your hands are smelling, simply rub your wet hands over a stainless steel tap and the smell will disappear!!!! If you have any questions for the Big Chef please contact him by email: peter@thebigchef.com

Gardening Scented Pelargoniums by Ursula Buchan

veryone knows what a generally easy, rewarding and versatile plant the geranium (strictly speaking, Pelargonium) is. It is capable of flowering all year round, if grown at the right temperature, and also tolerant of erratic watering, which is handy. So attractive and full of variety are the well-known Zonal, Regal, Angel and Ivy-leaved groups however, that the aromatic-leaved cultivars, which tend to have smaller, less „look at me‟, flowers are easily passed over. They are not as striking, on first inspection, but they give lasting pleasure, once you get to know them, especially if you like touching your plants. Much as I love my „Lord Bute‟ and „Appleblossom Rosebud‟ pelargoniums, I would never want to be without „Attar of Roses‟, „Lady Plymouth‟, Pelargonium crispum or „Prince of Orange‟, either. I especially appreciate them in the winter, when I recall the scents of summer simply by rubbing their leaves. Scented pelargoniums are not highly bred, but instead are species or derive from species. Any pelargonium with hairy leaves is likely to be aromatic but not all have a pleasant odour, by any means. But there are plenty that have. „Big Apple‟, for example, has smooth, round leaves, which are strongly apple-scented when bruised, and small white flowers. „Attar of Roses‟ has heart-shaped, grey-green, rose-scented leaves and pinkymauve flowers. „Prince of Orange‟, with orange-scented, glossy foliage, has particularly large and showy flowers, consisting of pale pink petals, veined with purple. „Creamy Nutmeg‟ has attractive cream and green variegated leaves and nutmeg scent. The well-known „Lady

Plymouth‟ has deeply-cut, variegated foliage, and small mauve flowers, while „Islington Peppermint‟ has most attractive flowers with deep red upper petals, and white lower ones. „Ardwick Cinnamon‟ has masses of small white flowers held above silver-grey leaves. All have an airy charm which is not always evident amongst the beefier Zonalgeraniums. Pelargonium Lord Bute Scented leaved pelargoniums are easy to grow, provided that they have very good light and air circulation, and are not exposed to any degree of frost. Which means they can‟t be left outside in the garden or in pots through the winter. If you want them to flower all year, however, you need to make sure that the winter night temperature is 7 C or above, which means either a heated greenhouse or conservatory or, more likely, a warm, light windowsill indoors. They can be planted out in containers or herb gardens in the summer months. It‟s best to cut them right back to a few short stems in late summer or early autumn, so that they carry less leaf through the winter; this reduces both the risk of botrytis (a fungal disease, „grey mould‟, which thrives in damp, cold conditions) and the amount of watering required. Scented leaved pelargoniums can get rather „leggy‟, unless cut back from time to time, anyway. The gardener should also consider repotting the plants each year in the spring, preferably into a potting compost with some loam in it, such as John Innes No 2 potting compost. (The „soil-less‟ „multipurpose‟ composts, which are readily available tend to dry out more quickly, although they are suitable if you cannot find a loam compost.) All in all, it is hard to imagine a group of plants, which give as much pleasure for so little trouble.

Health & Beauty Easing off on Emotional Eating By Lorraine Mace Many of us reach for food in times of stress, but if you find this is happening more frequently than ever, you might have become an emotional eater. This means that, rather than eating because you‟re hungry, you‟re eating to calm your emotions. This can happen so gradually that you may not be aware that you‟re eating when bored, lonely or anxious. Emotional eating is often fear-based and connected with low self-esteem. One way of finding out if this is the case is to ask, “What am I blocking out with this bar of chocolate/biscuit/cake/pizza?” Why not try letting that emotion come to the surface without being judgemental? Very often, simply accepting the way you feel can cause the feelings to change. Eating junk food depletes the body of nutrients. This can mean that you are still hungry after a meal, even if you‟ve eaten until you can‟t fit in another mouthful! Not only could you be left feeling unsatisfied, you could end up malnourished. Eat from a wide variety of nonprocessed food with lots of fresh fruit and vegetables. If you can identify your bad eating habits, it‟s easier to change them. Does your emotional eating follow a pattern? When are you most likely to binge? When do you reach for snack food? Rather than reaching out immediately for comfort food, why not put some delaying tactics in place? Before you open the fridge or packet of crisps, stand still and breathe slowly. Slow breathing helps to release tension. Have the phone number of a trusted friend close at hand, one who knows you‟re trying to change your eating habits. Go for a walk. Walking releases endorphins, which is your body‟s natural happy drug. During a period when you aren‟t feeling emotional, make a pleasure list. Write down all the things you enjoy doing and can easily make into regular activities. When you‟re doing something active the chances are you won‟t reach for comfort food. On a second list, write down all the things you‟ve wanted to do, but haven‟t got round to. These would be special treats – things to look forward to. You could go for a day trip to the beach, visit a museum, see a musical or a play, treat yourself to a massage or spa day out, or buy yourself a beautiful houseplant. You could also take up a new hobby, such as learning to play an instrument, take evening classes in language studies, or even a creative writing course. Basically, breaking your old habits of emotional eating will require making a commitment to yourself. Planning your meals and shopping with a list will help you to avoid reaching for snacks when you‟re not really hungry, but don‟t beat yourself up if you slip during difficult periods in your life. If you find that you‟ve fallen back into emotional eating, accept that it’s happened and forgive yourself. Remember, you need to identify the underlying reason for comfort eating.

Chevrolet Spark by James Baggott

ity cars for the past five years have been where it’s all been happening. Exploding fuel prices, a desire to be more eco friendly and the credit crunch have all played a huge part in focussing the spotlight on the babies in carmakers’ ranges. Throw in the cash conscious buyers the scrappage scheme funnelled into dealers and city cars became the bread and butter of most showrooms’ daily business. But Chevrolet has set the stakes even higher for its Spark – not only is it charged with notching up sales from price-fixated buyers, but the manufacturer also hopes it’ll attract younger buyers into Chevrolet’s 93 UK retailers.

stereo. And that’s for £6,945. Another bonus is that it’s got five doors, but has been styled to look like a threedoor. This will appeal to the younger audience while not putting off older family buyers. By James Baggott, editor of Car Dealer Magazine (CarDealerMag.co.uk)

At first glance it certainly looks like it has the right credentials. That all important price starts with a six – and under the last of the scrappage deals, the network will be knocking them out for under £5k. That puts it in direct competition with Hyundai’s extremely competent i10, right at the sharp end of the list prices. But remember the Spark has an ace up its sleeve – it’s got big screen pedigree. You may recognise it as one of the annoying twins from Transformers 2. Product placement in a Hollywood blockbuster will do the city car no harm at all. There’s little doubt it’s been styled to attract more youthful buyers. Chunky bumpers, a cheeky ‘grin’ and smart headlights really make it stand out on the road. The back end isn’t as dramatic, but it’s tidy enough not to offend and the colour schemes are loud enough to match their target buyers’ taste in music. Under the bonnet customers have the option of a 1.0litre unit offering 68bhp or a larger 81bhp 1.2-litre petrol. Performance differences between the two aren’t dramatic – the former will hit 60mph in 15.3 seconds, the larger unit in 12.1 seconds. But surprisingly it’s the baby of the duo that’s the better car to drive. Both engines are a little unrefined with engine noise intruding at higher revs, but the 1.0-litre is peppy and good fun. There’s little low down grunt, but keep it singing and you’ll be pleasantly surprised. Those diminutive engine proportions do wonders for fuel economy and emissions. The 1.0-litre returns 55.4mpg emitting just 119g/km and the 1.2-litre the same 119g/km while managing identical 55.4mpg. With no plans for a diesel these are likely to be as good as it gets. The Spark certainly handles well and has been set up satisfactorily for UK roads. Our test route incorporated some badly potholed surfaces and it coped admirably considering its size and dimensions. Steering is accurate and not badly weighted, but can lack a little feel at times. Other complaints? Well, the gear stick is positioned a little too far back and it’s not the most precise shift. And you can tell where costs have been cut inside as the plastics are on the cheap side in the base model and a bit tacky in higher spec colour-coded models. Plus, we really couldn’t get on with the dash that seems to have been modelled on a child’s flight simulator toy. That being said, it’s comfortable for a budget car, has a reasonable amount of room inside and a number of handy extras included.

As standard on the Spark + model, buyers will get air conditioning, electric front windows and central locking, along with a USB compatible four-speaker
