Parents hit by tragedy shown ‘no compassion’ By Naomi Dunning THE friends of a couple who were on holiday when their six-year-old daughter and her grandmother were killed in a car crash at home say they are “disgusted” at the lack of compassion shown by the travel company.

Julie and Darren Wood, of Gwersyllt, were on a short trip with friends to Tenerife last month when they heard Olivia had been killed in a two-car smash in Spital, Wirral, on March 8, along with Darren’s mother Linda Wood, 59, and three others. That day their friends contacted their travel company, Tui, to get them home. Tui owns Thomson and First Choice and four of the six were travelling with Thomson. Michelle Derosa, who was with them, said: “I was left disgusted at the sheer lack of service and compassion extended by Tui. We were in shock and needed help to get home quickly.” She claims the following morning their hotel rep arrived 30 minutes late, despite knowing of their situation. The group had spent the night scouring the internet for flights home and found a flight to Manchester that afternoon and insisted they be put on standby for it. Michelle added: “We were left shocked that we were having to make the phone calls and do the groundwork that they should be doing.”

Luckily there was space on the flight, but, rather than Tui invoicing the group later, they had to pay 1,200 euros upfront and use every credit and debit card they had on them because the maximum they could withdraw was 300 euros. She claims the Tui rep then failed to inform the cabin crew of the family’s ordeal. Michelle said: “What shocked the whole party was the lack of compassion for the horrific ordeal we were experiencing. “However, we as a party would like to commend Debbie, chief flight attendant, and her crew, who sprung into action once we had informed them of our tragic situation.” A Thomson spokesman said: “Thomson is concerned to learn of Ms Derosa’s disappointment with the way her party was dealt with when their holiday to Tenerife was tragically cut short. “Although it is our understanding that our team in Tenerife did their utmost to support the party, we can only apologise that, on this occasion, the customers felt that we did not deliver the appropriate level of assistance and comfort. “We wish to extend our sincere condolences to the family.”

Forum to give young people a stronger voice YOUNG people in Wrexham will have a greater say in policies that affect them with the development of the Senedd Yr Ifanc. Wrexham already has a youth forum which offers young people an opportunity to engage in the democratic and decision making processes which affect them at both local and national levels.

A FAMILY’S charity teddy bear walk in memory of a little boy has been boosted – by 60,000 cubic feet of hot air.

Four-year-old Harry Jones died in his sleep at home in Wrexham in September 2005 and since then mum and dad Julia and Jeff Jones have raised more than £20,000 in his memory through Harry’s Helpers. The money has gone to Hope House Children’s Hospice, Oswestry. Their latest fundraiser is the teddy bear walk in Nant Mill Country Park on Sunday, May 10. They have been backed by David Green, organiser of the Llangollen Hot Air Balloon Festival, who dropped in at Borras Park School, Wrexham, where Harry’s twin, Charlie, is a pupil, to hand over raffle prizes of tickets to the balloon festival at the Royal International Pavilion, Llangollen, from September 4-6. Almost 500 pupils of the infants and junior schools were treated to a demon-

stration and explanation of hot-air ballooning. Julia said: “We have wanted to do so much for Hope House because it is such a good cause and they really helped us when Harry passed away. “He was perfectly healthy and the only explanation we have ever been given is that it’s a form of older child cot death. “I’m determined to keep his name alive and, with the help of family and friends, we set up Harry’s Helpers in January 2006. Hope House is where his auntie and godmother is a nurse and they allowed Harry to rest there after he passed away.” The walk is £1 to enter and accompanying adults and teddy bears go free. There will also be a duck race on the river, at £1 per duck. Julia said: “We would like families to bring along a picnic and make an afternoon of the event.” For a registration form or more information, call Louise at the Hope House fundraising office on 01691 671671 or email fundraisUP AND AWAY: Charlie Jones of Borras Park School with a teddy. ing@hopehouse.org.uk.

These forums will meet on a weekly basis to discuss local issues of importance, and agree issues for representatives to take to the Senedd Yr Ifanc meetings. The current youth forum was established in 2001 and each member represents a different statutory, voluntary or community group in Wrexham. These include representatives of school coun-

In her report to the executive board, Clare Field, chief prevention and inclusion officer, said the youth forum had produced excellent work to date. The creation of the Senedd yr Ifanc will expand on that. It will be made up of about 50 young people aged 11-19 elected from the three area forums in Wrexham.

THE award-winning Venture playground in Caia Park has received a £316,000 boost from the National Assembly Government. The Garner Road project will receive the Communities First Outcomes funding during the next three years. The Venture was established nearly 30 years ago, to help children, young people and their families develop their full potential as individuals and as members of the community. It has developed a pioneering role in helping deter youngsters away from crime and anti-social behaviour. The Venture is the largest self-

build adventure playground in the UK – and holder of the Best Adventure Playground in Britain award. In 2003 it was chosen by the Assembly as the model for its flagship programme of integrated children’s centres, which has now rolled out across Wales. Wrexham AM Lesley Griffiths, who is patron of The Venture, said: “This funding commitment is superb news and is testimony to the great work that takes place at this flagship project. “Throughout its 30-year history The Venture has gained the support of the people of Caia Park.”

‘Lucky escape’ from fire A FIRE at a property in Hope broke out after a washing basket was left on top of a cooker hob. The fire caused severe damage to the kitchen of a house in Hawarden Road and was thought to have started when the twist buttons controlling the cooker were accidentally turned on when the plastic basket was placed on top. The occupant had left the house before the fire on Sunday evening had developed. The blaze was discovered by her 14-year-old daughter a few hours later, when she opened the back door to find a wall of smoke. Her father, who was with her, attempted to pour water on the flames and called North Wales Fire and Rescue Service shortly after 9pm.

Andy Robb, fire safety enforcement officer for Wrexham, said: “This incident demonstrates quite clearly how easily fires can accidentally start in the home. “The people involved were very lucky to have escaped relatively unharmed. This fire could well have had tragic consequences if the occupants had been in bed at the time of the fire. “There was a working smoke alarm in the house, but it had been placed on the floor in the corner of the landing. Although this did operate eventually, it did not do so until the fire had developed sig-

On September 26 Mr Skerries was the conductor on the 11.07am train from Chester along the North Wales coast when he noticed Jones get on and pick up a ticket off the platform in Shotton. He thought that was suspicious and found Jones had a child’s ticket from Wrexham to Flint. When told he could not use it, Jones

claimed it was the ticket he had been given but paid an additional £2.95. At Flint, Jones got off, swore and spat at the victim and a struggle ensued. In court he admitted assault on the basis of a reckless spitting act and his solicitor, Mark Davies, said Jones was apologetic and wished to say sorry in person to the victim. Sentence was adjourned.

TV chef to star at show

HOT STUFF: Chef Graham Tinsley cooks up a storm for David Green, of The Gardening Show, Llangollen. ONE of the star chefs from ITV’s Taste The Nation series is planning a new mission in North Wales.

Woman died from drug abuse

A YOUNG woman with a catalogue of mental and social problems died of a drugs overdose at her Wrexham home, a coroner’s court at Mold heard. Fiona McKenzie, 26, of Shields Court, had suffered from anorexia and depression and was dependent on prescribed and non-prescribed drugs on and off for 10 years, the court heard. “She was a very loving, kind, generous person,” said her mother, Ms Diane McKenzie. “She adored animals, especially her pet dog.” Fiona, who was one of twin girls, was found dead at her home on Tuesday, October 14, last year. As well as having a dressing-gown cord around her neck, toxicology reports noted fatal levels of amphetamines in her blood. The court also heard how Miss McKenzie was regularly hospitalised with drug overdoses and injuries from self-harm. Because of this, acting coroner for North East Wales John Gittins ruled out suicide. “There is no evidence that the dressing gown cord around her neck played any part in her death,” he said. “Instead it was her years of drug abuse, of both prescribed and non-prescribed drugs. “I don’t think her death was an accident, but my verdict is one of death by abuse of drugs.”

Man charged with murder of Ermatati Dad-of-two remanded in custody A POLISH man has been remanded in custody charged with the murder of Ermatati Rodgers, the 41-year-old woman who went missing 15 months ago.

Lukasz Reszpondek, 27, who lives in a flat in Bradley Road, Wrexham, appeared before Flintshire magistrates in Mold last Thursday morning. The Polish national, who has been in Wrexham for more than three years, is charged with murdering Ms Rodgers on or about January 4 last year, together with the unlawful disposal of her body at about the same time, intending to prevent the coroner from holding an inquest into an alleged violent death. Reszpondek, who had been working in a factory in the day and at a fast food restaurant at night, is married and has two children. His family left Wrexham and returned to Poland last year. Details of the prosecution case against him was outlined to the court

REMAINS FOUND: A 27-year-old man has been charged with the murder of Ermatati Rodgers. by prosecutor Christine O’Kane during the 20-minute hearing. Reszpondek followed the proceedings from the secure dock with the

aid of a female Polish interpreter. Defending solicitor Kieran Henry applied for bail on behalf of Reszpondek, who has a shaved head and a

long goatie beard, but that was rejected. Mr Henry said Reszpondek had a fixed abode where he could live in Wrexham and abide by other stringent bail conditions, including reporting to police daily. District Judge Andrew Shaw said Reszpondek would be remanded in custody to appear at Mold Crown Court on April 3. He told Reszpondek the charges he faces were charges that could not be dealt with in the magistrates court and he would be sent to the Crown Court, where he will appear at a preliminary hearing. Indonesia-born Ms Rodgers, known as Tati, was last seen in Gwersyllt, near Wrexham, on January 4, 2008. She was captured on CCTV at the Somerfield store. Heavy digging machinery was brought to land near the historic Erddig Hall last Thursday and specialist dogs were used in the search after new information was given to officers working on the case. Police found human remains during a search of land near Wrexham last Tuesday. Reszpondek was re-arrested on suspicion of murder on Monday. A post-mortem examination took place last Wednesday and was conducted by Home Office pathologist Dr Brian Rogers at Ysbyty Glan Clwyd, Bodelwyddan.

Hospital bid to halt spread of norovirus STAFF at Wrexham Maelor Hospital are urging people to think twice before attending the hospital to prevent the spread of norovirus. About 20 patients, on five wards, have symptoms that might be caused by norovirus, also known as winter vomiting disease. The disease is described as a contagious condition, both inside hospitals and in the general community.

To reduce the risk at Wrexham Maelor, where patients are thought to be suffering from the illness, strict controls have been put in place and transfers of patients into and out of affected areas are restricted. The hospital has also limited the number of beds available for new patients. Visitors should not attend if they have been suffering from stomach upsets, diarrhoea or vomiting. Spokesman Andy Scotson said:

“While this bug is doing the rounds in the local area, we really would like people to think twice before coming to visit patients in hospital and where possible avoid bringing children to visit, especially where their relatives are on a ward that has been affected by norovirus. “Not only will that reduce the chances of infection being carried into the hospital, it will help protect visitors from the risk of picking up the illness.”

Fire destroys bedroom

Robbery at bookmaker

NORTH Wales Fire and Rescue Service is warning residents to ensure electrical appliances are switched off when not in use, after an 83-year-old woman suffered burns and had her bedroom destroyed in an electrical fire. Wrexham firefighters were called to the property, in Meadows View, Marford, at 11.02pm on Monday. The pensioner had been going to bed when she saw the flash of flames on her bedclothes. She reached out her hands and was scolded by the heat, before leaving the house and contacting a neighbour, who called the fire service. She suffered from burns to her hands and smoke inhalation and was taken to Wrexham Maelor Hospital. The fire destroyed the downstairs bedroom and caused smoke damage to the rest of the property. The cause is thought to be electrical. Paul Whybro, county safety manager for Wrexham, said: “To be as safe as possible in your home, it is important to remember to switch off non-essential electrical appliances when not in use. “As well as saving on electricity, this can dramatically cut the risk of fire in your home.”

POLICE are appealing for witnesses after a robbery at a Wrexham bookmakers. Just before 9.30pm on Saturday, March 28, an employee of Corbett’s in Prince Charles Road was closing the shop when he was approached by two men. The men, both dressed in black and with their faces covered, grabbed hold of him and forced him back into the shop. They stole an undisclosed amount of money then fled. The employee was left shocked and sustained minor head injuries in the incident. He went to hospital, but was later discharged. North Wales Police attended and enquiries are ongoing. Forensic investigations were carried out at the scene and have now come to an end. Detectives are appealing to anyone who has information or who may have been in the vicinity at the time and saw anyone acting suspiciously to call Det Sgt Lloyd at Wrexham CID on 0845 6071001 (Welsh language line) or 0845 6071002 (English language line). People can call Crimestoppers anonymously with information on 0800 555 111.

HUGHEStheVIEWS Business links RESTRICTIONS on condom adverts could soon be relaxed as part of plans aimed at reducing the UK’s teenage pregnancy rate, which is the highest in Europe. According to the Office for National Statistics, teenage pregnancies in Wales and England have again risen, with 2007 data showing there were 41.9 conceptions per 1,000 15- to 17-year-olds – up from 40.9 the year before. It is the first increase since 2002 and means the Government is almost certain to miss its target to halve rates by 2010. In total there were estimated to be just over 42,900 conceptions in under-18s. The under-16 concep-

tion rates also increased, from 7.8 per 1,000 to 8.3, meaning there were nearly 8,200 pregnancies. However, the plan to allow TV condom adverts is not just aimed at reducing the number of schoolgirl mums but will also target sexually transmitted infection rates. In truth, the suggestion condom adverts should be screened before the 9pm watershed will be seen by many as a step too far by many. But if advising young people of the dangers of sexually transmitted disease and the consequences of teenage pregnancy in any way whatsoever helps reduce unwanted pregnancies and the spread of infection it has to be worth a try. Perhaps even more controversially, abortion advice could soon be regularly advertised on our TV screens too. It’s important, as a society, we learn to be more open in our attitude to sex education – after all, no child should get pregnant or suffer infections through ignorance.

are an education MEETING: Peter Moore Dutton greets John Wright, national chairman of the Federation of Small Businesses.

RECENTLY I went as a representative of the Chester and Wrexham branch of the Federation of Small Businesses (FSB) to its annual conference, near Newport, South Wales. One of the exhibition stands was run by the School Governors’ One-Stop Shop, visit www.sgoss.org.uk for details. They were there to encourage businesspeople to become school governors, thereby helping local children and developing their own skills and contacts at the same time. John Wright, national chairman of the FSB, told me they would like to see more small

business owners becoming school governors. The FSB feels the SGOSS will help many employers participate in this tremendously worthwhile role. The branch chairman, Tony Feliciello, would like to establish a closer relationship between the FSB and local schools, colleges and universities to promote the students’ interest in business, especially as small businesses are the backbone of the country’s economy. From little acorns big oaks grow. PETER MOORE DUTTON Tushingham Hall

Colliery memorabilia I WONDER if your readers can help me with my hobby, which is collecting brass embossed colliery lamp checks, or tokens and tallies as they are sometimes called. These are brass discs with the name of the colliery on them as well as the miner’s number. The miner would draw this check along with his lamp before going down the mine. I am trying very hard to obtain some lamp checks from the many collieries that once operated in the North Wales Coalfield, especially a large oval check with the words Hafod Colliery Pay Check on it and a six-sided one from Wynnstay Colliery with the words Wynnstay Collieries Ltd on it. Some of the other collieries I am trying to obtain lamp checks from are: Ifton, Llay Hall, Llay Main, Black Park, Gresford, Bersham, Vauxhall, Bagillt, Point of Ayr. I would very much like to hear from anyone who once worked at and can remember these collieries working and any help they can give me in trying to obtain any lamp checks from them would be very much appreciated to: Peter Wall, 5 Cherry Grove, Norton, Stourbridge, West Midlands, DY8 3YL.

Station is on right track

n 2001, when I first became Wrexham’s MP, Wrexham General Station was very quiet – too quiet. It was very difficult to travel to London by train. Invariably, I drove to Chester or even Crewe and caught the train there. Connections to Wrexham were very poor, with no hourly service to Chester and lonely evenings on Crewe station platform were too commonplace. In 2009 the position is transformed. The excellent Shrews- bury to Chester Rail Partnership has helped achieve an hourly service from Wrexham to Chester. The advent of the Wrexham to Shropshire London service brought direct London links back to Wrexham and last December Virgin started a single daily direct Wrexham to London service. Now there is a wide choice of service to London from Wrexham as well as improved services to Cardiff. I want to see that choice maintained and I worry recent moves may threaten services. Virgin has flagged up the possibility of introducing three services per day from Wrexham to London – partly paid for by stock left over after fulfilling its publicly funded franchise commitments.

VIEW FROM

WESTMINSTER Wrexham Labour MP Ian Lucas

I support improving Wrexham’s rail services but I want companies to compete fairly. When I met the rail minister, Lord Adonis, this week, I asked him if it was in order for services to be introduced in competition with privately funded operators which are paid for partly from public funds? The minister will be getting back to me. Wrexham General is now a hive of activity. Hats off to Wrexham and Shropshire with their new cafe, and toilets are promised soon. It is essential that we see the increased investment in trains locally continue. It eases congestion and makes Wrexham a more attractive option for employers. Only if we have a fair system for train operators to compete will we be able to preserve the present improvement. I am determined to keep a fair system and to keep the station busy.

Burglar facing jail A BURGLAR convicted of yet another one has been warned he could be jailed for more than three years. Michael Edward Langa, 39, of John Wilkinson Court, Brymbo, denied stealing a 32in flat-screen television valued at £700 from a house at The Homestead, Wrexham, on December 7, but admitted handling it. He was unanimously convicted by a jury at Mold Crown Court. Judge Merfyn Hughes QC told Langa his previous convictions meant he was in line for a minimum three-year prison sentence. He agreed to adjourn for a pre-sentence report, but said his preliminary view was he was considering a sentence in excess of three years. The court heard how victim Mandy Jones returned home from a night out and disturbed the burglar. She heard rustling in the conservatory, found the conservatory door open, heard footsteps going along the side of the house and realised the television was missing. Police found Langa’s car containing the TV nearby. They went to his home but he was not there – and later told how he had been offered £100 by a man he did not wish to name to take the television to Queen’s Park. James Cullen, defending, said Langa denied being involved in the burglary but admitted handling the stolen television.

EIGHT former Woolworths employees have enrolled on a 12-week Skill Build programme at Wrexham ITeC.

They enrolled following an event in January at the Memorial Hall organised by the Economic Development Department of Wrexham County Borough

Council in response to the loss of retail jobs within Wrexham town centre. The women, who started their programme on March 2, spent the first four weeks gaining or improving a range of IT skills and job search techniques, including CV writing and interview technique. They will go on to complete a short

motivational programme and receive help and support from Wrexham ITeC in finding work placements or work experience in later weeks. It is hoped work experience will turn into an offer of full-time employment – enabling them and their new employers to take advantage of the NVQ training offered by Wrexham ITeC.

Boy given award for saving mum CALM: Jake Mold with mum Janet Hughes, Jenny Lewis, Clare Cookson and Sarah Pleavin.

By Francesca Elliott AN EIGHT-YEAR-OLD boy from Caia Park has received an award from the Welsh Ambulance Service for helping to save his mother’s life when she collapsed. Jake Mold, who attends Rhosddu Primary School, called 999 on New Year’s Eve when mum Janet Hughes suffered an epileptic fit and fell down the stairs. She was taken to Wrexham Maelor Hospital by paramedic Sarah Pleavin and ambulance technician Julie Ward Smith. Sarah said: “Jake was very level-headed and calm. He showed us where his mother was then stayed and listened to what we were doing and saying, he just took it all in.

Residents’ views sought on children’s play area development scheme GROUNDWORK Wrexham and Flintshire are seeking views of residents on the Bryn Y Cabanau play area development. Groundwork is holding two consultation events to make sure the views and ideas of Hightown residents are heard when the play space is refurbished and regenerated.

Bryn Y Cabanau will be one of the ‘Greener Living Spaces’ supported by profits raised from Marks & Spencer’s 5p charge for food carrier bags. M&S and Groundwork will improve the Bryn Y Cabanau play area, which is currently an underused site. Money will be invested in extending the range of currently restrictive play opportunities to create an in-

novative and natural area for traditional play, natural play and educational play elements. A community consultation will take place on Monday, April 6, from 5-7pm at Luke O’Connor House, Hightown. Everybody is welcome and people can just turn up on the day. Mary Hext, Environmental projects

PLEA: Nightingale House Hospice mascot Norris promotes the Ladies’ Midnight Walk.

The 2008 Midnight Walk raised more than £170,000 and saw more than 1,600 women take part. But for this year’s event, on Saturday, June 27, the unit needs your help more than ever. Louise Aubrey, corporate and event fundraiser at Nightingale House Hospice, said: “This year our Government funding has decreased from 20% to only 18%. “So we need your help now more than ever to help raise funds and to make this year’s walk even bigger and better. “The atmosphere of last year’s Ladies’ Midnight Walk was fabulous, spirits were at an all-time high and everyone had a wonderful time. “We had lots of people

walking in memory of their loved ones, which was really touching and definitely helped reinforce the importance of the walk. “Please register now and help your local hospice and local community.” The Ladies’ Midnight Walk is a sponsored 10mile walk around Wrexham. It starts from Llwyn Isaf, in front of the Guildhall, at the stroke of midnight, and follows a well-lit paved route around Wrexham and is fully supported by a team of marshals who work with the local police. Entry costs £10 and every walker receives a midnight walk T-shirt, which this year will be a bright sunset orange/red, refreshments along the way, a goody bag, and a medal at the finishing post. Bunny ears and glow sticks will be on sale on the night, with all proceeds going to the hospice. ■ To get involved, visit www.ladiesmidnightwalk. co.uk or call 01978 314292.

PLACE YOUR BETS: WI Clwyd and Denbigh Federation chairman Lea Oram, Rhosesni and Abenbury WI president Margaret Miller, Liz Martin, Pauline Lindley, Joyce Wilson, Ann Betts, Hilda Broughton, Adele Price, Audrey Parrott, Rosemary Marles, Pat Evans, Freda Crawford and Glenys Cosgrove. VH030309casino-02 MEMBERS of Rhosesni and Abenbury WI took a gamble with a Dazzle and Dine evening to celebrate the group’s 60th anniversary. The group held a casino evening at Holt Lodge to cel-

ebrate its diamond jubilee. Members sat down to dinner before trying their luck at the black jack table and roulette wheel, but only took their chances with pretend money. Ladies were challenged to

create and wear their own tiaras, which were judged by special guests WI Clwyd and Denbigh Federation chairman Lea Oram and WI adviser Pauline Lindley. The winner was Freda Crawford.

Former Yale Free swimming sessions on offer this Easter student wins award YOUNGSTERS aged 16 and under can make a splash at Wrexham leisure centres this Easter holiday thanks to the National Assembly for Wales’s free swimming initiative. As well as swimming there are a number of other activities on offer, including snorkelling, inflat-

WINNER: Director Stephen Dunne. Picture: Steve Brock

A YOUNG director has thanked Yale College, Wrexham, after achieving success in the Royal Television Society awards. Stephen Dunne, 21, won the RTS North East and the Border Centre accolade for Best Student Drama with his film This Old Dog, which stars Philip Martin Brown of BBC’s Waterloo Road fame. Stephen said: “Yale was an absolutely fabulous place to study. “I originally took photography there, but never realised how much was available. “My eyes opened to filming – it was more advanced than photography. “I had a great tutor who helped me and was supportive, pushing me on to university. “Without them, I might not have made it as a director. I learned an awful lot from making films at Yale.” Stephen, who now lives in Manchester, is writing the first draft of his own production, which he hopes to direct. He also has an ambition to set up his own film company. He would like to obtain an MA while studying at the National Film and Television School in Beaconsfield, London.

able fun, water polo and underwater ski-doo scooters. Wrexham is also offering the chance for those aged 60 and over to enjoy free swimming throughout the year, so grandparents can take the children to the local pool, giving mum and dad a well-deserved break from the holiday havoc.

Pools in this area include: Wrexham Waterworld, Plas Madoc Leisure and Activity Centre, Chirk Leisure and Activity Centre and Gwyn Evans Leisure and Activity Centre, Gwersyllt. Wrexham swimming and aquatic development officer Helen Laidler said: “The range of activities on offer could have come

from an expensive holiday brochure, but they haven’t – they’re on your doorstep and they’re free. “This is a great way to see your friends over the holidays, have fun and keep fit, while saving your money for other things.” This is the sixth year all 22 local authorities in Wales have oper-

ated the initiative and the figures show each year more and more young people are going to their local leisure centre to enjoy a pastime which not only encourages them to be fit and healthy but is a potential lifesaver. ■ For more information, visit www.free-swimming-wales.org.uk or call your local leisure centre.

Banned motorist is jailed for drink-driving

A YOUNG man who led police on a chase and jumped out of a moving vehicle which careered out of control down an embankment has been jailed for 18 months.

Banned driver James Anthony White was found to be more than twice the drink-drive limit. The 21-year-old, of Warwick Avenue, Whitegates, Wrexham, admitted aggravated vehicle taking, drink-driving, disqualified driving and no insurance following

At the time he was on bail for earlier offences of taking a car, driving while disqualified and no insurance. Mold Crown Court heard how had been drinking, but drove a Corsa which he claimed had been taken by others. Police recognised him as a banned driver

and gave chase, but he failed to stop despite their blue lights and sirens. The chase started from near The Wheatsheaf public house in Gwersyllt. The court heard how he failed to give way at a junction, went straight across a roundabout without slowing down, drove around bends on the wrong side of the road and drove through Bradley, toward Llay New Road. There, police used a stinger device to deflate all four tyres. Despite this, the vehicle mounted the

Funding support for cancer patients CANCER patients across North Wales have been receiving funding boosts to help pay for increases in their expenses. Macmillan Cancer Support has helped patients through their welfare benefits service to receive more than £2m in unclaimed benefits in the last year. In addition, 80 patients in Wrexham were awarded a total of £27,453 in Macmillan patient grants in 2008. The one-off payments help patients pay for equipment to help them cope with their illness, as well as other expenses, including fuel bills and clothes. Macmillan welfare benefits adviser Sally Forest, based at the Shooting Star Unit in Wrexham Maelor Hospital,

BENEFITS: Sally Forest. said: “Many families affected by cancer will see a cut in the amount of money coming into the home as a result of being diagnosed with cancer. “We are here to make sure we minimise the financial im-

pact of cancer on their lives. “The benefits system can appear complicated but we can help people access all the support they are entitled to so they can concentrate on looking after themselves.” Cath Lindley, general manager for Macmillan Cancer Support in Wales, said: “We are delighted Macmillan has been able to help so many in North Wales. “The statistics illustrate just how vital this service is to people affected by cancer. They tell us money problems are the second biggest worry after their diagnosis. “For many patients, this may be the first time they have encountered the benefits system and so it is vital they get all the financial help they are entitled to.”

pavement and White jumped out while it was still moving. Breathalysed, he was found to have 79 micrograms of alcohol in his breath, compared to the legal limit of 35. Mark Connor, defending, said White had not stolen the Corsa himself. That had been done by two others who offered it to him to drive when he had been drinking. He fled from police because he was frightened of getting caught.

Digital switchover talks

TV DATE: Wrexham MP Ian Lucas and Delyn MP David Hanson with David Scott, Digital UK’s chief executive. WREXHAM MP Ian Lucas and Delyn MP David Hanson have hosted a Westminster briefing with Digital UK to discuss the implications of the switchover for North Wales. Properties currently serviced by the Moel y Parc transmitter group will experience the digital switchover in two stages – on Wednesday, October 28, and Wednesday, November 25.

Mr Hanson said: “There’s still much to be done to ensure everyone is ready for the switchover. “Statistics show older people, particularly aged 75 and over who are eligible for the Government’s Help Scheme, having markedly lower levels of conversion to digital TV and this is something I’m keen to address. “If anyone has any questions, contact me on 0207 219 5064.”

Residents caught burglars BRAVE neighbours caught two burglars red-handed. They had become suspicious when they saw two men walk down the drive of a house in Green Park, Wrexham, on February 21. Three local residents and a man who was working in the area went to investigate and found that a window at the rear was broken. One of the men armed himself with a stick, climbed in through the broken window and investigated. Inside a bedroom, he found the two burglars and ordered them to get down on to the floor until the police arrived. They did and the two men were arrested, Mold Crown Court was told last Thursday. Paul Loose, 18, of Tan y Bryn, Wrexham, admitted burglary at the house and asked for five other house burglaries in the Wrexham area in January and February to be taken into consideration.

He received a sentence of two years and five months youth custody – but also received an additional 164 days from a previous unexpired sentence because he was on early release licence at the time. The second man had previously been dealt with together with a robbery offence and had received four years, the court was told. Judge Merfyn Hughes QC said when the neighbours detained them, to their credit, they did not offer any resistance or violence. The judge said Loose was a high risk of reconviction. He had been leading an aimless life seeking solace in alcohol and controlled drugs. Simon Mills, defending, said Loose was highly thought of by his employers and was planning to get qualifications while in custody. He saw the inevitable prison sentence as an opportunity to sort himself out and to break the cycle of offending he had got himself into.

Our aim as a Council is to make the dreams and ambitions of children and young people a reality. To take us to the next phase in this work, we need a committed and experienced individual to help deliver the aims set out in our ambitious Children and Young People’s Plan.

Ein nod fel Cyngor yw troi breuddwydion ac uchelgeisiau plant a phobl ifanc yn realiti. Er mwyn ein harwain i’r cam nesaf o’r gwaith hwn, mae angen unigolyn ymroddedig a phroﬁadol arnom i’n helpu i gyﬂawni’r nodau a nodir yn ein cynllun uchelgeisiol sef Cynllun Plant a Phobl Ifanc.

As the Statutory Education Ofﬁcer responsible for learning and achievement throughout the County Borough and as a member of the Strategic Management Team, you will be joining a strong team which is determined to continue to give children and young people the best start in life.

Fel y Swyddog Addysg Statudol sy’n gyfrifol am ddysgu a chyﬂawniad ledled y Fwrdeistref Sirol ac fel aelod o’r Tîm Rheoli Strategol, byddwch yn ymuno â thîm cadarn sy’n benderfynol o barhau i roi’r dechrau gorau posibl i fywydau plant a phobl ifanc.

With the full support of Councillors, Wrexham’s three Children’s Services Departments have made rapid strides in the last three years, putting high quality services, integrated working and preventative approaches at the heart of their work. The success of our efforts is evidenced by our recent Excellence Wales award and Estyn inspection reports.

Gyda chefnogaeth barod Cynghorwyr, mae tair adran Gwasanaethau Plant Wrecsam wedi gwneud cynnydd aruthrol dros y tair blynedd diwethaf, ac mae gwasanaethau uchel eu hansawdd, gweithio integredig ac ymagweddau ataliol wrth wraidd eu gwaith. Mae llwyddiant ein hymdrechion yn amlwg o’r wobr ddiweddar a gawsom gan Rhagoriaeth Cymru ac o adroddiadau arolygu Estyn.

The successful applicant will need to demonstrate a strong professional background, a track record of supporting schools within a challenging change environment, a commitment to the wider welfare of children and young people, and the ability to lead a highly motivated team of professional colleagues within a rigorous ﬁnancial context.

Bydd angen i’r ymgeisydd llwyddiannus ddangos cefndir proffesiynol cadarn, hanes cydnabyddedig o gefnogi ysgolion mewn amgylchedd cyfnewidiol heriol ac ymrwymiad i les ehangach plant a phobl ifanc a’r gallu i arwain tîm o gydweithwyr proffesiynol llawn cymhelliant mewn cyd-destun ariannol llym.

If you can both add to and beneﬁt from the ‘Wrexham experience’, we shall be delighted to hear from you.

Astra still a shining star vsehxiwx

with

Visibility for the driver is excellent in this five door model and the only thing I raise a question about are the particular type of self cancelling indicators that often did not self cancel and proved irritating. There is more than enough interior space and headroom is good, as is the boot space. Every Astra has electric front windows, remote central locking and electronic power steering. SXi models have lowered sports suspension and sportier trim details. This current model is due to be replaced by a new Astra next year. If it is as good as this one then the future has to be bright for Vauxhall.

Ian Johnson

DESPITE gloomy financial reports of its American parent company GM, that great British name Vauxhall was the number one selling brand in the UK in February.

And this was for the second time in three months, underlining the fact that Britain loves the Griffon badge. One of the mainstays of the marque is the Astra, a name that has been around since 1979 and has been a hot choice for the British family and business driver ever since. The latest Astra maintains all the core values of the original but is bang up to date with the latest Vauxhall family style and engineering. The current range fields an impressive range of engines but one of the most popular choices is the 1.7 diesel which I tried in a CDTi Sxi model recently. This come towards the top of the Astra tree and weighs in at £17,590. Somewhat pricey and even more so when options on the test car including a seat comfort pack, an impressive CD70 stereo and sat nav fit and cruise control racked the price up to a hefty £19,195. There are much cheaper Astras but this one was a showcase of what Vauxhall has managed to achieve with a constantly developing model range and leapfrogging technology.

This philosophy is one of the marque's mainstays because brand loyalty is a major factor in today's hotly contested marketplace.

responsive and handling qualities provide supple ride and nimble cornering. On all surfaces road noise is low and the diesel is kept muted by some impressive soundproofing. I was impressed by the Astra's build quality – a credit not only to its designers but its Ellesmere Port manufacturing team. There is also plenty of evidence of higher quality trim materials than some competitors.

GB call for Lydia as hard work pays off at last

BIG HONOUR: Lydia Johnson has won her first Great Britain call-up.

WREXHAM Fencing Club sensation Lydia Johnson is celebrating her first Great Britain senior call-up. The 23-year-old from Wrexham was unable to join the squad for a competition in Budapest, Hungary, because of work commitments, but the door has been left open for the talented foilist to compete in events in St Petersburg, Buenos Aires, Havana and Las Vegas. Since taking up the sport at the age of 12, Johnson, a former Under 18s British champion, has represented Great Britain at cadet and junior level. She is the top-ranked woman foilist in Wales and has been a member of the Welsh senior team for nine years. A Wrexham club spokesperson

Fencing said: “Lydia has been continually knocking on the door of the senior British squad and her unquestioned dedication, professionalism and ability has at last been rewarded. “Feared by all her opponents, she is well respected and extremely popular with everyone on the fencing circuit. She is a credit to Wrexham Fencing Club and to Wrexham itself. “ If you would like to sponsor Johnson email info@wrexhamfencingclub.co.uk Johnson was one of the quartet of Wrexham foilists that starred at the Belfast Open. All but one of the foursome returned from the Northern Ireland

event with medals in the bag. The clean sweep wasn’t possible because Carolyn Benson beat Stephanie Collister in the last eight before settling for women’s bronze along with Johnson. Collister was fifth while brilliant Ben Roberts proved he is back to full fitness after a knee problem by powering to men’s silver. Collister and Bethany Ellis also did Wrexham proud at the latest Leon Paul Junior Series meet in Eton. Having struggled through her U15 girls foil poule matches, Collister found her feet in the direct elimination stages, knocking out the first seed before losing a closely-fought final to take silver. Ellis went one better in the U11s girls foil, storming to gold-medal glory in impressive fashion.

Dragons’ play-off hopes lie in tatters Histon 1 Wrexham 0

THE Dragons’ hopes of immediate promotion back into the Football League are effectively over after their freefall continued on Saturday.

Josh Simpson took advantage of some slack Steve Abbott marking to condemn Dean Saunders’ side to a defeat which all but ensures they will be playing non-league football for the second successive season. Assistant-manager Terry Darracott, holding fort for absent boss Saunders, said: “It’s a massive disappointment. We came here fully expecting to get a result to get us on a run that would see us through until the end of the season. But once again we’ve been let down by one of the players not doing his job on a set-piece. “Steve Abbott’s gone back as a marker and he hasn’t seen it through as his man’s got a free header. It’s not on. We tell the players who they’re picking up and what their jobs are and we fully expect them to do that.” While Abbott’s lack of concentration ultimately proved costly, the rookie striker, on his first Blue Square Premier start since signing from Team Bath, should not be held solely responsible for Wrexham’s sixth loss in their last 10 league

Round-up Andy Alston then missed the chance to level for the freefalling visitors and they were made to pay in the 56th minute when Rush played in Kevin Holsgrove to double the home side’s advantage. Two became three 10 minutes later when Ricky Evans drilled in a 25-yard free kick before

ATHLETICS: Wrexham Athletic Club long-distances aces were out in force at the British Masters Cross Country Championships in Ruthin. Peter Norman was sixth in the M70 race (29.38mins), Margaret Docking 13th in the W55 (29.58), Mike Robbins 39th in the M35-49 (30.51 – 12th M45) and Phil Walker 87th (36.42) and Arthur Egan 98th (38.05) in the M50-69. Egan will be running the London Marathon on Sunday, April 26, four days after he turns 65.

Lisa Morley was the third-fastest W35 in 133rd (42.30mins) at the Atlantic College 10k in Llantwit Major. Charles Ashley finished 76th (2.11.05) in the Ras yr Aran Fell Race in Llanuwchllyn.

BASKETBALL: NEWI Nets’ campaign came to an end on Saturday as they crashed out of the EBL Division Two play-offs. Matt Weedall’s men went down 101-67 at champions Leeds Carnegie but given they were down to just six senior stars and two rookies once more, they could be proud of their performance. Nets were very much in the match after drawing the first quarter 20-20. That silenced the partisan Yorkshire crowd but the hosts stormed back in the second to take a 16-point lead into the restart. The visitors made a fight of it in the third quarter before tiredness got the better of them in the final passage of play. TOP-SCORER: Spanish ace Pau Pau Feliu. Feliu (23) starred and top-scored for Nets, supported by Steve Roberts (14) and DaWaun Wells (12), while Arnas Liutkus and George Greenhalgh underlined their huge potential with ice-cool displays on the big stage.

outings. For the simple fact of the matter is they have not looked like a team bound for the play-offs ever since the moment Marc Williams limped off against Salisbury City late last month. Without their 17-goal talisman, the Dragons are devoid of ideas and energy up front, something which was all too painfully obvious at the rainswept Glass World Stadium. Despite dominating the opening stages, the visitors never came close to making the breakthrough and they were made to pay in the 30th minute when Simpson was allowed to head in Gareth Gwillim’s corner. Wrexham, with Jefferson Louis and Obi Anoruo on for Nathan Fairhurst and Abbott and Sam Williamson replacing the injured Ryan Flynn, rallied after the restart. But after captain Ashley Westwood, Darran Kempson and Williamson saw chances come and go, Histon should have doubled their advantage in injury-time when Nathaniel Knight-Percival was brought down in the box by Aurelien Collin. The excellent Jack Midson, however, saw his spot-kick brilliantly saved by debutant Gunnar Nielsen.

Six of the best takes Druids to edge of safety NEWI Cefn Druids took a massive step towards securing their Welsh Premier League safety on Friday night as they produced a second-half super-show to hammer Gap Connah’s Quay 6-0. The Plaskynaston Lane clash was goalless at the break but the in-form Ancients never looked back after Jon Rush broke the deadlock three minutes after the restart.

Lee T Jones repeated the trick 12 minutes from time as his free kick from the left crept in. Holsgrove netted his second in the 85th minute before teenage substitute Michael Taylor, with his first touch on his first-team debut, volleyed in number six in injury-time. Druids, who hosted Bangor City on Tuesday night in a match played after the Chronicle went to press, make the

long trip to high-flying Carmarthen Town on Saturday (2.30pm). ■ A second-half brace from Nick Santangeli earned Lex XI a 2-1 victory at Buckley Town in the Cymru Alliance on Friday night. But Gresford Athletic went down 2-0 at fellow strugglers Penrhyncoch. Gresford are away to Ruthin Town on Saturday while Lex head to Penrhyncoch (both 2.30pm).

GOLF: There was success for seniors captain Roy Jones at Clays Golf Club’s Seniors Kitty Pairs Stableford. Jones teamed up with Mike Hollings (69) to win the 29-strong competition, with Tony Harcombe and Reg Peacock (68) second, Stewart Poole and Bill Hughes (67) third and Ray Martin and Brian Mercer (66) fourth. While the Clays seniors team were losing a match with Mold Seniors 7.5-2.5, the rest of the club’s veterans were in action in the Seniors Kitty Individual Stableford, which Cliff Davies (38) won, with Hollings (37) second and Brian Felgate (35) third. Andy Evans and John Evans (45) were the convincing winners of the Jubilee Plate Qualifier from Robert Jarvis and Dilwyn Jones (41) and Allan Caples and Paul Woolf (40). The following day’s final round of the Sunday Winter League went the way of Caples (72-7=65) from Michael Platt (70-4=66) and Stuart Rogers (79-13-66).

Roger inspires derby revenge

WREXHAM avenged their shock North Wales Intermediate Cup loss to Rhos by recording a convincing 21-5 victory at their rivals on Saturday. With their pack in dominant form and Roger Chadwick returning at outside-half to dictate matters from behind the scrum, the Bryn Estyn Road outfit dominated the North Wales League Division Two derby from the off and opened the scoring with a penalty try. Chadwick kicked the simple conversion and then proceeded, with the wind at his back, to stretch the Rhos defence with some fine tactical kicking. Up front, Wrexham continued to dictate events with skipper and prop Guy Bingham enjoying his most forceful game to date and prop Nick Perrin also contributing massively. So it came as no surprise when they increased their lead through No 8 Dean Griffiths, who crashed over for a pushover try which Chadwick converted, before they extended it further through lock Mike Jones, who received a pass 30

metres from the line, beat five defenders and crossed the whitewash wide out. Chadwick added his third and final conversion before Rhos pulled a converted try back. Wrexham, for whom Mike Randall impressed at centre, host unbeaten leaders Bro Ffestiniog on Saturday (2.30pm). Fly-half Roger Chadwick and hooker Ben Evans are unavailable. Despite tries from No 8 Keir Harding and flanker Dave Morris which were converted by outside-half Richard Lloyd, a last-minute penalty condemned Wrexham 2nds to a 15-14 home defeat to Flint in Division Four on Saturday. Wrexham Youth’s hopes of winning WRU Youth Leagues Gogledd Cymru Region Division One were severely dented on the same afternoon as they went down 15-4 at home to Nant Conwy Youth. Winger Christian Chalk’s offered Wrexham’s consolation try while prop Joss Stott was outstanding.

Terry’s rallying call for play-off push

WE’RE NOT GIVING UP TERRY Darracott is refusing to believe that Wrexham’s season is over.

Six defeats in their last 10 Blue Square Premier outings has left Dean Saunders’ side marooned in 10th with their promotion dream seemingly in tatters. But, on the eve of a run of three home games in seven days which starts tonight against Barrow (7.45pm), assistant manager Darracott is calling on the out-of-form Dragons to give it one final push for the play-offs. “We’ve got eight games to play so you never know, but of course it depends on other results around us now,” said Darracott, who, along with coach Brian Carey, has been holding fort while boss Saunders has been carrying out his Wales duties as number two to John Toshack. “We’re not going to give up and we’re going to give everything to try and get some results in the run-in to the season. “I’ve told the players I don’t want anybody thinking about the end of the season. They’ve got to concentrate on their jobs and

the games coming up and that’s what myself, Dean and Brian Carey all expect them to do. “Since we’ve been at the club, you can never level at the players that they don’t work hard enough. But what we’ve got to start doing is turning our possession into chances.” Saturday’s 1-0 defeat at high-flying Histon means Wrexham have now failed to score in five of the eight matches they have played since injury ruled 17-goal striker Marc Williams out for the rest of the campaign. Former Premier League star Matt Jansen, signed to fill the void left by Williams, could also be struggling to play again this season. “Matt’s got a knee injury which I believe will keep him out for three to four weeks,” said Darracott. “The injury is one he had

before he came to us and that’s why he won’t be figuring for us at the moment.” Saunders will be back in the dugout tonight and he will be boosted by the return of full-back Neil Taylor and winger Jon Brown, along with goalkeeper Chris Maxwell, from Wales Under 21s duty. Defender John Curtis and winger Jamie McCluskey could feature after shaking off injury. The clash with relegation-threatened Barrow will give the Racecourse faithful their first glimpse of on-loan keeper Gunnar Nielsen, who marked his debut on Saturday by saving a penalty. The Faroe Islands international completed his move from Manchester City before the loan transfer deadline shut last Thursday along with Mali international defender Mansour Assomani, who has penned a short-term deal having impressed on trial. Tonight’s visit of Barrow is followed by home clashes with mid-table Mansfield on Saturday (3pm) and Histon on Tuesday (7.45pm).
