Brave Beryl battles pirates with deckchair

By Mark Dowling

A WREXHAM woman hurled a deckchair at Somali pirates as they tried to hijack the holiday cruise ship she was on.

Beryl Rowlands and her husband David, who was celebrating his 62nd birthday on the night of the attack, took quick action to protect the 1,500 people on board the Melody.

The couple, of Bangor-on-Dee, were sitting on the aft deck when they saw a small speedboat carrying six armed Somali pirates approaching the ship at high speed.

David, a retired engineer, said: “I had read descriptions of recent pirate attacks on other ships, and this looked very similar.

“I rushed to the bridge to find the duty officer and inform him, leaving my wife to raise awareness on deck.

“While I was talking to the bridge officer we heard the first shots being fired by the pirates. The officer immediately called the security guards.”

As he raised the alarm, Beryl threw a deckchair at the pirates in a bid to deter them.

David added: “My wife and I, along with all the passengers, were

immediately escorted to our cabins by the crew.”

The Somali pirates were then repelled with Israeli security forces shooting in the air and crew members spraying water at them via hosepipes, while the ship performed evasive manoeuvres.

The ship was in the Indian Ocean, about 180 miles north of Victoria in the Seychelles and 600 miles from the Somalian coast, travelling from Durban to Genoa, when the attack happened.

Sarah Longbottom, head of PR for MSC Cruises in London, said: “Mr Rowlands used quick-thinking and his quick-witted actions to inform the captain of the attack.”

None of the 1,000 passengers and 500 crew members were injured in the attempted hijack, but the ship sustained damage from numerous bullet holes, and was escorted by Spanish warship Marques de la Ensenada to north of Aden as a precaution.

INSIDE STORY

Minister speaks out about region’s housing problems THE Welsh Shadow minister for housing spoke out about problems facing first-time buyers at an event in Wrexham.

Welsh Conservative AM Mark Isherwood, who lives in Pontybodkin, was asked to speak on

the National Assembly for Wales’s Affordable Housing Strategy, the funding available and how it will develop and Homebuy – the Assembly’s low-cost home ownership scheme – at Glyndw ˆ r University’s conference centre.

Mr Isherwood told an audience of estate agents, house- builders, housing associations, surveyors, solicitors and mortgage advisers that, because of delays by the Assembly in publishing final guidance on a new scheme, those already struggling to get on the

property ladder are having a tougher time.

He said: “The Assembly Government launched a consultation on guidelines to enable social housing grant-funded DIY Homebuy to be included in the Social Housing Grant Pro-

Home celebrates a decade of care

Eisteddfod joins loyalty card scheme THE Llangollen International Musical Eisteddfod has announced it is joining the Llangollen Loyalty Card scheme operated by town businesses in association with the Royal International Pavilion.

The scheme, supported by Denbighshire County Council, allows shoppers to collect stamps when they spend money in participating local shops and businesses.

A completed card full of stamps can be redeemed against entry to Pavilion events.

“The Royal International Pavilion is the home of the Llangollen Eisteddfod and so it is natural that we should want to be involved,” said Mervyn Cousins, executive director of the eisteddfod.

“We are pleased to be able to work with the local businesses to encourage people to shop locally and to give everyone an opportunity to experience the delights of this wonderful festival.”

The eisteddfod will participate in the loyalty card scheme by offering a discount of £10 against ticket purchases on presentation of a completed loyalty card. This will apply to ‘on the day’ purchases, not advance tickets.

Michael Hughes, representing the Llangollen Partnership, said: “By joining the Loyalty Card scheme, the eisteddfod further cements its relationship with the town.”

A trio of VIPs helped a ground-breaking care home in Wrexham celebrate a milestone.

Among those who attended the 10th anniversary party at Bryn Bella were Wrexham mayor Cllr David Griffiths, Wrexham MP Ian Lucas and AM Lesley Griffiths.

All three paid tribute to the work done at Bryn Bella, part of the Pendine Park care organisation.

They chatted to members of an art class and looked at an exhibition organised by artist-in-residence Sarah Edwards.

After a short speech by proprietor Mario Kreft, both Cllr Griffiths and Mr Lucas were presented with paintings by residents while Lesley Griffiths was given a bouquet of flowers.

When it was opened in 1999, the specialist care Bryn Bella provided for younger people was rare.

More recently, Penybryn, a new centre of excellence to care for younger people with brain injuries has also been established at Pendine Park.

The mayor has been a frequent visitor to Pendine Park during his term of office.

He said: “It’s always a special occasion to come here, particularly as Bryn Bella celebrates 10 years of service to the community.”

Wrexham AM Lesley Griffiths said:

SPECIAL GUESTS: Ian Lucas MP, Lesley Griffiths AM and mayor David Griffiths with resident Laura Stephenson.

“I’m delighted – 10 years of this wonderful facility here in Wrexham is something to be celebrated.”

“This facility was the first of its kind when it opened and I think it completely sums up what Mario Kreft seems to be able to achieve.”

MP Ian Lucas said Pendine Park

Volunteer help sought LIFE as a volunteer has really helped Brian Edwards in doing something fulfilling in his retirement.

For the past year he has been helping out at Erddig, the National Trust property near Wrexham, on cycle hire.

Brian had a career as a business manager in food hygiene. It gave him the skills in helping to engage with visitors to promote the cycle hire initiative.

In 2008 Erddig was able to get grant support from Sport Wales to promote exercise and a healthy lifestyle through a cycle initiative.

Brian Edwards The idea is to encourage people to take up bike riding as a means of exercise to help them keep fit and active.

The cycle hire shop opened late last year, with Brian joining as a volunteer to help run it.

During the day he hires out bikes and guides people on the three cycle routes across the country estate. They range in length from 1.5 miles to 3.5 miles.

So far this year the bike shop has proved to be a great success. So much so that Brian now needs help in running it.

Volunteers are needed to make sure the shop can stay open the five days of the week the property is open.

Politician backs health-care protocol WREXHAM Labour MP Ian Lucas has welcomed a formal agreement which ensures cross-border healthcare for people in North Wales – and has challenged opposition parties to match Labour’s position.

The protocol resolves funding issues between both the Department of Health and the National Assembly for Wales and

takes effect from this month.

The protocol is set out in a letter from Department of Health minister Ben Bradshaw.

Mr Lucas said: “The protocol shows the UK Government and Welsh Assembly Government working together to make certain high-quality patient care continues regardless of which side of the border people live and are treated.”

Refurbished kitchen gutted by oven fire AN OVEN blaze gutted a kitchen after an attempt to cook chicken legs.

Burning pieces of fat fell on to the floor as flames licked out of the cooker, setting a nearby coat on fire at a house in Brynydd, Ponciau, Wrexham.

Fire officers are warning of the dangers of leaving cooking unwatched and urged people to keep their cookers clean of grease and fat.

House owners Ronald Griffith Jones and wife Bethan were out when the fire broke out on Monday at 7.50pm and the blaze was started by a neighbour.

Retired probation officer 65-year-old Mr Jones said: “Brian Bailey is a tropical fish enthusiast who lives in a caravan at the bottom of the garden and he generally looks after our fish for us.

“We were out and he decided to do some chicken legs – we have a work-top oven.

“He goes back in and attends to the fish but then he is aware of smoke pouring out of the kitchen.”

He added: “We don't know why the fire started – it may have been a dodgy thermostat.”

Brian ran out of the house to a neighbour, who called the fire brigade.

Mr and Mrs Jones also received a call to say there was a fire. The porch was also damaged.

“As we were coming back we could see the smoke all over and there were flames coming out of the house,” said Mr Jones.

He said they were just finishing off a kitchen refurbishment when the fire broke out. They had recently spent £200 on appliances.

Mr Bailey was taken to Wrexham Maelor Hospital to be treated for smoke inhalation.

Mr and Mrs Jones are now staying in his caravan while repairs are carried out.

North Wales Fire and Rescue Service chiefs said there were no fire alarms fitted.

Ian Williams of the service said: “This incident once again highlights the dangers of leaving cooking unattended.”

OUTRAGED: Doris Bevin and Pauline Lewis at the churchyard in Worthenbury. jp040509church-6

TWO widows have blasted a church for allowing a wedding reception to take place just metres away from their husbands’ graves.

Guests at the service on Saturday danced to Anarchy in the UK by the Sex Pistols while six nearby stones were sealed off and a portable toilet generator placed next to them.

Angry relatives of two people laid to rest at St Deiniol’s Church, Worthenbury, near Wrexham, were “hurt and disgusted” by the party.

But village vicar the Rev Adrian Copping said he was prepared to take on board any issues and raise them at the next parish meeting.

Doris Bevin and Pauline Lewis, whose husbands are buried at the grounds, said the fact they weren’t informed added to their upset.

Doris’s son Neil has set up an online petition calling for the church not to allow such “insensitive” events to take place in the future.

It has already gathered 72 signatures.

Neil said his stepfather’s stone was “taped off like a crime scene” while revellers danced, smoked and used portable toilets nearby.

“This has caused great stress to the families, especially my mother who, along with the other families involved, were neither consulted nor informed about this,” he said.

Doris said: “I am extremely hurt and disgusted by this. The first I knew about it was when I saw the marquee, so I called the church warden and asked what was going on.”

Mr Copping said: “After the extension was done we were asked whether we would consider using the land for wedding receptions. It was something we took on board and discussed at the parochial church council.

“We thought it would be a really positive thing to do as it would allow us to reach out to people in the community. We have already held village fêtes and children’s activities there.”

Station’s campaign to recruit retained firefighters POTENTIAL firefighters are needed at Chirk Fire Station.

The service is on the lookout for retained firefighters who can help the community in a crisis.

fighters providing essential fire and emergency cover for their fire station’s area.

“We are looking for suitable individuals who can travel to their local fire station within four minutes of being paged for a call-out.

“These people might be builders,

shopkeepers, factory workers, nurses or housewives during working hours but we would ask that, in addition, retained firefighters are available to attend emergency incidents as and when required.”

University course gains approval ENGINEERING students at Glyndw ˆ r University are set to graduate with an extra seal of approval on their degrees.

CELEBRATION: Professor Graeme Wilkinson, pro vice chancellor of Glyndwˆ r University, left, receives official accreditation for its engineering programmes from Mark Organ, head of membership recruitment at the Institution of Engineering and Technology.

All undergraduate and postgraduate engineering programmes offered by the university, based in Wrexham, are now fully accredited by at least one of the industry’s three major professional bodies.

The accreditations, from either the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, the Royal Aeronautical Society or the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET), were confirmed in a ceremony at the university last Wednesday.

Professor Graeme Wilkinson, pro vice chancellor of Glyndw ˆ r University, said accreditation of courses was the ultimate accolade, giving students a direct stepping stone to becoming incorporated or chartered engineers. This would provide graduates entering the job market with a cutting edge.

“To gain full accreditation for all of our engineering programmes is a landmark occasion for the University, in what has been a landmark year for us,” said Prof Wilkinson.

“We became a university in July last year but as an institution we have a history of working with industry and a commitment to engineering which goes back 120 years, from our links with the old mining and steel industries through to the present day links with the aeronautical and automotive industries

By Eleanor Barlow and major companies such as Airbus.

“As some other universities have been closing down or reducing the number of science and technology programmes which they offer, we’ve been expanding ours. Glyndwr University now has one of the strongest science and technology bases in the country.

“We can be proud of this history and tradition. Gaining accreditation from one, let alone three, professional bodies is a real achievement and demonstrates that we’re operating at the top level with our courses.”

Speaking to students at the accreditation event, Mary Jane Halstead, regional development manager at the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET), said: “Gaining accreditation takes an awful lot of hard work and it’s a wonderful achievement.

“To show a prospective employer that you’ve graduated from an accredited course is bound to increase your employability.”

■ A full list of engineering programmes offered by Glyndw ˆ r University is available at www. glyndwr.ac.uk, with places still available for courses starting in 2009.

Alternatively, call the student information desk on 01978 293439 for more details.

Students enjoy political discussion BILINGUAL Welsh/English Childcare Level 2/3 students from Yale College met Wrexham MP Ian Lucas and AM Lesley Griffiths as part of their experiences and activities provided for Welsh Baccalaureate studies.

Keen to gain an insight into what it means to be a politician and how politics affects our everyday lives, the students raised topical issues and asked questions.

The politicians provided information on a range of areas including EMA and anticipated childcare qualifications relative to expected remuneration.

The learners gleaned details of famous politicians and diplomats met at home and abroad providing them with a realistic idea of the breadth and depth of political interaction.

“We were all very pleased with the overall outcomes of the event,” said

Lynda Ellis, programme co-ordinator for childcare and education courses.

“The students continue to develop their ideas relative to their own political interests and have been proactive in writing letters and discussing possible ways that they can develop their own political knowledge and understanding.”

ANGRY residents have told council chiefs their community would be destroyed if a landmark block of flats is demolished.

Wrexham County Borough Council chiefs face a repair bill of up to £17.5m to bring the Hightown flats up to scratch.

But if they decide after a threemonth consultation with residents they cannot afford the cost then the massive block may have to be demolished.

It means residents, some of whom have lived there for 30 years or more, will have to look for a new home.

Currently there are 181 units.

But, after surveys showed the flats were in need of repairs and structural strengthening to bring them up to today’s standards, 59 have

not been relet until their future is decided.

To carry out full £17.5m repairs would cost the equivalent of £90,000 per flat.

The council’s budget for a year for its housing stock is £12.5m.

At a meeting last week council chiefs said the Assembly had told them there was no extra cash.

They would have to look for other funding streams to carry out the work.

Jason Cambridge, 38, who has lived there for 12 years, asked: “If they do decide to demolish – will we be allowed to move back if a housing association takes over?”

“The Welsh Assembly will spend money say on renovating Wrexham museum but when it comes to people’s homes, they

don’t want to know.”

Elizabeth Davies, who has lived there for 30 years, said: “We have a wonderful community spirit.

“It would be the destruction of a community.”

Five options are on the table from doing nothing, minimal repairs to a full overhaul or demolition.

Council officers were keen to stress no decisions have yet been taken and they were keen to get all residents views.

Cllr Mike Morris said the only realistic options were major repairs or demolition and insists the council has to be open with residents.

He said: “We don’t want to build people’s hopes up on things we can’t deliver.”

Search for region’s food heroes THE search is on for the region’s food heroes.

The Local Food Heroes project is looking to support local farmers and identify ways in which it can strengthen local supply chains to include more Wrexham foodstuffs.

The aim is to work more closely with restaurants, schools, hotels and other local food-related businesses to ensure Wrexham food is as widely available as possible.

Heather Miles, Northern Marches Cymru’s new local food officer, said: “Wrexham is a county rich in local produce it can really be proud of.

“I’m passionate about our local food and I want to hear from more of our rural growers and producers to identify how the new local food project may be able to help them.

“I’m also keen to get in contact with more of our local suppliers, shops, schools, restaurants and hotels to identify

ways in which we can all support our local producers more and benefit from the fantastic food on offer in the area.”

The project has received funding from the Rural Development Plan for Wales 20072013, which is financed by the National Assembly for Wales and the European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development.

Design a mug competition

Charity shop donation gift

A RETAILER in Wrexham has launched a competition for primary school children as part of its Match our Million campaign with Macmillan Cancer Support.

The Card Factory is inviting children to create a design for a coffee mug following the theme of ‘my family’.

A panel will select their favourite design, which Card Factory will then print on to a limited edition coffee mug to be sold in stores nationwide in the run-up to Macmillan’s ‘World’s Biggest Coffee Morning’ on September 25.

Entry forms are available at the store in the Hope Street and parents need to validate the entry at www.cardfactory.eu.com.

Card Factory is also offering a prize of £1,000 to the winner’s school to be spent on arts and crafts materials.

THE British Heart Foundation (BHF) is urging people in Wrexham to hand over their unwanted goods – in return for a voucher.

The Great Exchange means for every stock donation they receive at their shop that includes at least one book, DVD or CD the donor will receive a £5 off voucher for books bought at WHSmith.

Ken Blair, chief executive officer of the BHF, said: “We absolutely rely on the support of the local community to keep us running and without their vital donations, we risk reducing the care and support available to vulnerable heart patients across the country.”

Hats on for pupils raising charity cash

Youngsters urged to put on their business caps

A FORMER cancer patient encouraged school pupils and workers to don hats for the day in aid of cancer charities.

Darland High School pupil Christopher Jones, of Rossett, was diagnosed with leukaemia at the age of four.

Now 16, he wanted to give something back to the people who helped him by organising a Caps on 4 Cancer Day. The day saw schools and workplaces across the area getting involved with employees and pupils wearing hats for the day and making donations.

Christopher’s mum, Victoria, said: “We are delighted with the support we’ve had.

Money raised will be split between Alder Hey Children’s Hospital Oncology Unit, where Christopher was treated, Cancer and Leukaemia in Children (CLIC), Children Cancer Support (CHIC) and the Ronald McDonald House.

Learner in line for ‘inspiration’ award

INSPIRATIONAL: Mal Morris has been nominated for an Inspire! Adult Learner’s Awards.

AN ADULT learner from Wrexham has proved it’s never too late to learn by being nominated for an award.

Mal Morris, 58, left grammar school in 1967 with “just a handful of O-levels”, but has been able to acquire an honours degree via the Open University.

As a result of his achievement, Mal has been nominated for this year’s Inspire!

Adult Learner of the Year awards, which take place tonight (Thursday) at Bangor University.

The awards ceremony, organised by NIACE Dysgu Cymru, will be presented by television personality Sara Edwards and former track and rugby star Nigel Walker.

Mal began his return to education with a course in health and social care in 2000.

His appetite for learning and encouraging others to learn saw him become involved in the Open University Students Association, including assisting students with additional needs at UK summer schools.

He also studied lip reading at Manchester Metropolitan University to communicate better with his hearing impaired sister.

To further his voluntary work, he took a course on voluntary management with Lampeter University.

Mal said: “There is so much to gain by returning to learning and for many it helps them to turn the corner and start a new life, get a new job and make many friends along the way. To anyone considering starting a new course, I say go for it, it’s never too late to learn.”

Richard Spear, director of NIACE Dysgu Cymru, said: “Mal and the other Inspire Award nominees are inspirational people who have achieved a great deal, some overcoming serious obstacles to pursue their learning.”

Improvement programme at chapel nearing completion A £5,000 project to improve facilities at Brymbo Methodist Chapel is nearing completion.

The works have seen the installation of double-glazed windows, enhanced access to the chapel in High Street and improvements to the cellar area, which will enable community groups which use the chapel to store their equipment.

The project has been made pos-

sible thanks to a £5,000 grant through the Landfill Communities Fund of Waste Recycling Group (WRG) administered by Environmental Body WREN. A donation of £100 from Brymbo Community Council also helped secure the funding.

The minister, the Rev Richard Sharples, said: “As well as our usual chapel services we do have community groups who use this

centre on a regular basis and we recognised that substantial improvements to the building would make it more appealing to its users, and especially save money on heating bills as our old windows were single-glazed and had been in situ for many years.

“We hope the refurbishment will encourage other groups to use this excellent community facility in the future.”

Dog chipping event

NEWSFile Eco-friendly boost

DOG owners can get their pets microchipped for £10 at the Wrexham RSPCA Clinic this month.

The Churchill Drive clinic is holding sessions on Wednesday, May 13, from 10.30am-12.30pm and on Tuesday, May 19, from 2-4pm.

There is no need to book, just turn up during these sessions.

Chipping involves a microchip being implanted between the dog's shoulder blades under the skin with a syringe.

It consists of a tiny computer chip which means it can be detected with a small handheld device.

The microchip is the size of a grain of rice, meaning little to no pain is experienced and most dogs do not seem to feel it being implanted.

Cllr David Bithell, lead member for environment and transport, said: “Dog collars and tags can fall off or become damaged, making it very hard to identify your dog if it is missing.”

Microchips are designed to last for the life of a dog and they do not need to be charged or replaced.

For more information, call Ella Povey on 01978 813775.

“We’re very pleased with the progress so far and particularly impressed with the main points of contact on site.”

Read’s managing director, Richard Heaton, is pleased to be working with West Coast Energy.

He said: “We’re delighted to be delivering this project on behalf of an organisation which is making a significant investment not only in the local economy but also in the sustainability of the building itself.”

Nursery carer National Trust seeks apprentice gardeners thrilled to be in awards final A WREXHAM nursery carer has reached the finals of the NDNA (National Day Nurseries Association) Nursery Carer of the Year awards.

Rachel Davies, manager of the Rossett House Nursery, Llay Road, is one of FUN TIMES: three finalists in Rachel Davies and the running for the friends. title.

Rachel, who was nominated for the award by parents of the children, will find out if she has won at a gala dinner at York Racecourse on May 20.

Judges said they were impressed by reports from parents on how dedicated and passionate Rachel is about caring for young children.

In particular, they said they were moved by her support for a little girl whose battle with meningitis left her with a number of complex needs. Rachel kept in touch with the little girl and her parents during a long spell in hospital and has also spent her own time caring for the child so her parents could spend time with their other daughter.

One parent also told judges that Rachel went to hospital with her son following a febrile convulsion at nursery then stayed to comfort her as her son was treated.

Rachel said: “I was shocked and delighted to be told that I have been shortlisted for this award. I absolutely love my job and it's great to know that this can be seen by the parents of the children I care for.”

Laura Enright, pre-school supervisor at Cherry Hill Children’s Nursery, Wrexham, has also been nominated for the award.

APPRENTICESHIPS are becoming increasingly rare, but the National Trust in Erddig near Wrexham has a unique gardening training scheme.

People of all ages are welcome to apply for the three year award winning programme, called Careership.

At Erddig there are currently two Careership students.

For Jason Arnold, 38, training as a National Trust gardener has been a dream come true.

Earlier this year his determination paid off when he got a job at Erddig, the first new gardener to come to the

National Trust property in 10 years.

“This is a real career change for me,” said Jason.

“I left school without any formal qualifications and have worked in all sorts of jobs, from working in a meat production factory to being a courier.

SPREAD YOUR WINGS: A modern singleseater glider soaring near the Long Mynd in Shropshire, home of the Midland Gliding Club.

A FORMER Castell Alun pupil has been able to hit the heights in his career thanks to a gliding club.

Andy Holmes, 30, learned to fly for Midland Gliding Club in the Long Mynd, west of Church Stretton, Shropshire.

Now he is a senior first officer for British Airways, living in Churtsey, Surrey, and regularly pilots 747 jumbo jets on long-haul flights across the world.

Andy is full of praise for gliding and the club, which is celebrating its 75th anniversary this year.

He said: “Gliding requires the same high level of airmanship and aircraft handling skills needed for power flying.

“It is a really excellent way for anyone to start flying, whether as a sport or for a living.

“The Long Mynd is a beautiful location to fly from, with three different types of gliding paths in the surrounding area.

“The people there are also very friendly.”

Andy, from Penyffordd, learned to fly with his father Nigel, who is still an active member of the club and lives in Ffordd Derwyn, in the village.

Andy completed his first solo glide flight in the Long Mynd on his 16th birthday.

He was later awarded a Royal Aero Club award for his achievements at the Midland Gliding Club.

While at Imperial College studying for a degree in physics, Andy was awarded an Air League Educational Trust scholarship funded

by British Airways, and started his training as a pilot with the airline in 1999.

By the age of 22 he was flying a British Airways Airbus.

Andy is still a regular visitor to the Long Mynd.

After flying a jumbo jet from Japan to Heathrow on Saturday, he flew his glider from Lasham near Basingstoke to the Long Mynd on Sunday, where his father was also flying – a round-trip distance by air of 250 miles.

On the march at castle

Income tax increases

Changes to expenses

PEOPLE in Wrexham are being invited to gain an insight into Army life at an event this weekend.

Dragon’s March will be held at Bodelwyddan Castle today (Thursday), tomorrow and on Saturday.

Schools from across the region will attend the first two days of the event, and it will be open to the public, free of charge, on Saturday from 10.30am-3.30pm.

Visitors will have a chance to experience what the parachute regiment does in a specially designed jump tower and gain an insight into other parts of Army life.

WREXHAM taxpayers are seeing a greater proportion of their wages eaten up by income tax because of the Government’s failure to move up tax thresholds in line with wage rises, according to data obtained by accountancy group UHY Hacker Young in the town.

The statistics provided by HM Revenue & Customs show that taxpayers’ incomes in Wrexham have increased by an average of 12.4% per head during the last four years, but this has been outpaced by income tax, which has risen by an average of 15.7% per head.

Residents pay £3,320 each year in income tax and earn an average of £20,800 per year.

WREXHAM MP Ian Lucas has welcomed proposals put forward by the Government to reform MPs’ expenses.

Under them, the current Additional Accommodation Expenditure – also known as the ‘second homes allowance’ – will end and be replaced by a flat-rate daily allowance. Claims for other household items will also be halted.

The proposals have been made to the Committee on Standards in Public life, and the Prime Minister has also asked the Committee – which is currently reviewing MPs’ expenses – to look into the issue of the transparency of MPs’ second incomes.

HUGHES the VIEWS THE Chief Constable of North Wales Police, Richard Brunstrom, has announced he is to retire in July.

His leaving will bring the curtain down on his nine years in charge at the Colwyn Bay HQ and a police career of more than 30 years.

There is no doubt he will hand over the reins of a good, professional force.

Officers of all ranks are, on the whole, caring, dedicated and extremely hard-working.

Despite courting far too much adverse publicity, there is no doubt Richard Brunstrom has strived to make a positive difference in his time as North Wales’s top police officer.

However, you have to suspect many officers, of all ranks, will have sighed in relief on hearing their chief is to stand down.

Mr Brunstrom should be applauded for saving countless lives on the region’s roads with his robust approach to reducing speeding and dangerous driving in general.

However, all the hard work and good intentions simply evaporated once he began to enjoy the notoriety that came with his outlandish and increasingly bizarre public statements, not only on motoring matters but on subjects such as drug abuse.

What is important now is that the next incumbent of the office of Chief Constable goes about the task of protecting the lives and property of North Wales residents in a far quieter, less public fashion.

It’s time for the dedicated officers who police the streets of North Wales to have their say – and they can best do that through simple good old-fashioned policing.

Intensive farming may be to blame SO, the world is on the precipice of a pandemic as fears grow over the swine flu outbreak.

Authorities are quick to point out the disease can’t be caught by eating pork but that is rather missing the point.

The finger of blame is increasingly pointing toward intensive animal farming – factory farming.

To keep the supply of cheap meat flowing, billions of animals are mistreated in filthy, unhygienic and overcrowded slums.

This is the cause of hospital superbugs, antibiotic-resistant foodpoisoning bugs and, most likely, bird flu and swine flu.

In Mexico, intensive pig farming is big business, with tens of thousands of pigs on a single factory farm. But it’s not just Mexico.

Almost all the nine million pigs we kill each year in the UK are farmed intensively; kept in cramped, often filthy conditions.

Intensive farming is wholly unnatural and produces animals whose immune systems are shot to pieces.

Diseases spread like wildfire and there is a kind of Petri dish ‘pick and mix’ for bacteria and viruses that can swap genetic material and produce entirely new strains.

This happens because the average Brit eats more than 11,000 animals in a lifetime. By going vegetarian, fewer animals are bred to be eaten, fewer animals are intensively farmed and the risk to human health decreases.

As a nation we are at last eating less meat with 50 million fewer animals slaughtered each year than three years ago. This is the way to go if we want to save animals and protect ourselves and our families.

Pigs deserve a happier life

THERE was such a fuss with fox hunting over the cruelty which got the sport banned.

How long will it be before the very first animal to be domesticated and the fourth most intelligent mammal in the world gets a fair life?

Pigs are in fourth place, with only humans, apes and dolphins with superior intellect, yet they are probably second only to chickens in being the most cruelly factory farmed.

I am not blaming the farmers – they have to make a living. It is us that can make a big difference to the way the pigs are treated.

The answer is not to go vegetarian but to buy organic.

This would put a stop to the factory farming where the pigs are confined to small pens on concrete floors all their lives, never seeing the light of day or having the room to play.

So if anyone has compassion towards this most intelligent, faithful animal – please buy only organic.

I AM writing to thank Kevin Todd and Jane Entwistle, from Wrexham, for taking part in this year’s London Marathon (Chronicle, April 30) and raising a fantastic £3,000 for us at World Cancer Research Fund (WCRF).

We are so proud of Kevin and Jane for running the gruelling 26.6 miles and raising valuable funds for our cancer prevention research and education programmes.

We also want to thank people in the local area for showing their support to them.

They have been worked very hard in training and we are pleased to announce Kevin completed the race in just three hours It may be more expensive but we eat and waste too much food as it is.

At least then for the 24 weeks the pigs are alive they will be able to smell fresh air and live and play in the countryside like their ancestors.

Join us on trek across desert

I WOULD like to encourage your readers to sign up for Mencap Cymru’s latest challenge – a trek across the Sahara!

This eight-day adventure takes place from February 13-20, 2010, and includes five days trekking in the Moroccan Sahara.

Away from the popular tourist routes, this trek will follow a trade route used by nomadic tribesmen, who you may see along the way.

You will pass through the varied landscape of the Sahara, from great sand dunes to arid plains. At camp you will have the chance to witness the spectacular desert sunrise and

TWO weeks ago the Chancellor delivered the budget to the House of Commons.

The debate following the budget offered a stark choice. A Labour Government that would spend through a time of difficulty to help people stay on their own two feet, or a Conservative opposition that would do nothing to help those most in need.

The budget announced support for employment, including for Jobcentre Plus and the Flexible New Deal, and the offer of a guaranteed job, training or work placement for all 18- to 24-year-olds who reach 12 months unemployed.

There was also an increase in the annual investment limit for individual savings accounts (ISAs) to £10,200, up to £5,100 of which can be saved in cash; an additional payment alongside the winter fuel payment worth £100 for households with someone aged over 80 and £50 for

and 46 minutes. Jane wasn’t far behind and completed the race in four hours and 41 minutes.

They have also helped us to raise awareness that about a third of cancer cases could be prevented by eating healthily, being physically active and maintaining a healthy weight.

We are extremely grateful for all their hard work. We hope they will now have a well-earned rest!

It is still not too late to sponsor Kevin and Jane. You can visit www.wcrf-uk.org/sponsor or call 020 7343 4205.

TERESA NIGHTINGALE Head of fundraising, World Cancer Research Fund (via email) sleep beneath the star-filled skies.

To take part you will need to raise a minimum sponsorship of £2,000.

Mencap Cymru’s experienced fundraising team will give you plenty of fundraising advice and support.

Money raised from the trek will support children and adults with a learning disability in Wales. There are more than 60,000 people with a learning disability in Wales. Mencap Cymru provides a number of services to help them live the life they choose.

In October 2008 I led a Mencap Cymru trek in Patagonia and know first hand what a fantastic experience a challenge such as this can be.

The camaraderie built up between trekkers was brilliant, everyone went home having made many lifelong friends and very proud of what they had achieved – both personally and for Mencap Cymru.

VIEW FROM

WESTMINSTER Clwyd South MP Martyn Jones households with someone aged over 60 and a change in the pension credit: increasing the capital disregard on the level of savings not taken into account when calculating entitlement, from November 2009, from £6,000 to £10,000.

There was support for homeowners and homebuyers, including a £600m funding package of measures to build more homes, and an extension of the stamp duty holiday for houses costing up to £175,000 until the end of the year.

The Conservative Party has said it would make more than £5bn of cuts to the British economy. That would

mean a cut of £240m to council’s budgets – equivalent to a rise in council tax of 1%, a cut of £160m from the Home Office – that’s 3,500 police salaries lost. It would cut £100m from the Cabinet Office – equivalent to scrapping critical support for thousands of local third-sector and voluntary schemes, cut £80m from DECC – equivalent to cutting the Warm Fronts scheme for 32,000 vulnerable homes, cut £610m from DIUS – equivalent to scrapping thousands of apprenticeships and scrapping the critical investment we need to higher education and science to prepare us for the upturn.

The path laid out by this Government is not by any means the easiest approach.

It involves tough calculations about spending and investment in the future. But I would rather take on those tough challenges than abandon people in Clwyd South to global economic recession.

Children’s cancer charity’s cash boost A CHILDREN’S cancer charity in Wrexham has benefited from a charitable donation thanks to a Flint firm’s community scheme.

Kimberly-Clark’s Employees in the Community group (EITC) gave a £3,500 cheque to Children’s Cancer Support (Chics), thanks to a steady stream of donations during the past 12 months.

The EITC has also helped by supplying tissues and wet wipes for two caravans, which are used to send families who have children suffering from cancer on a holiday.

EITC chairman Andy Davies has also been entertaining children at Chics parties, dressing up as the Andrex puppy.

Andy said: “Seeing the children at the Christmas party really was an eyeopener for me.

“We are pleased that as a small fundraising group we have been able to help Chics to bring a smile to the faces of young children who are obviously very poorly, and their committed, loyal families.

“We would like to thank

By Eleanor Barlow everyone who donates in some way to the EITC for helping us to help others.”

Chics family liaison officer Erica Handley said: “The support we had from the EITC and KimberlyClark has been fantastic.

“We are a very small charity and often get overlooked, so we have been overwhelmed by the donations.”

Employees at the Flint site have now voted for the charities they want to support for the next year – Hope House Hospice, Special Care Baby Units at Wrexham and Chester hospitals and cancer care at the Countess of Chester.

The EITC will donate £500 to each of the charities, and will hold a charity golf day on Wednesday, June 24, at Old Padeswood Golf Club, near Mold.

Search for owners of football caps HISTORICAL items linked to a 1920s Flint footballer have been discovered in a Wrexham solicitor’s office.

Gregsons Solicitors bought the assets of Clement Jones in 2005.

These included deeds and documents kept in storage in the Clement Jones branch in King Street, Wrexham.

While clearing these stored items, two Welsh Football Association (WFA) caps were discovered. They were awarded in the 1926-1927 season.

Gregsons probate administrator, Linda Tomkow, said: “I spoke with Ceri Stennett, WFA press officer and historian in Cardiff.

“He established the caps

belonged to an Arthur Hughes who played centre half for Flint.

One of the caps was given to him as a Welsh junior player and one given to him as a Welsh amateur “Ideally we would like to locate the family as I’m sure they would love to have the caps. If we’re unable to then we will pass them to a football museum.”

Testing river trip for Scouts FIVE Wrexham Scouts have been on a three-day canoeing adventure thanks to the generosity of the town’s shoppers.

K2 Explorer Scout Unit were able to purchase much needed life jackets, helmets and other safety equipment after they raised £600 at Sainsbury’s in Wrexham.

The funds were donated by customers in return for help with their bag packing last Christmas.

The teenagers joined 230 others from across the UK on the annual River Wye canoe cruise in Scouts Wales, a 35-mile expedition down the river from Hereford to Monmouth.

Explorer Scout Danny Roberts, 16, said, “The Wye Cruise was amazing. I met lots of new people. Thanks to everyone who donated to enable us to buy the kit.”

ADVENTURE: Scouts Danny Roberts, Sam Sawin, Kris Hudson, Jordan Edwards and Fraser Dwight.

That is one of the scenarios being put to members of the public in a series of workshops aimed at giving people a better insight into how community-based, non-custodial sentences work.

The Lord Chief Justice, Lord Judge, is determined to increase public confidence in such sentences.

To help spread that message the North Wales Probation Area, in conjunction with local magistrates, is holding a programme of open sessions.

Representatives of the service, along with JPs, have addressed numerous bodies and in Wrexham they held an open forum in the town’s magistrates’ court.

At the meeting in Wrexham, experienced magistrate Pat Thomas outlined the varied community orders open to JPs. She said it was important for people to feel that they were receiving protection from the courts whilst wrong-doers were being published.

“But many people are very surprised to learn that community-based penalties are not a soft option,” she said.

The 12 community order options open to JPs to impose include curfews, unpaid work, prohibited activities, supervision, and treatment for alcohol or drug dependency. The aim is not only to punish the offenders but to help rehabilitate them.

Senior probation officer Lis Oats told the meeting: “Some of the orders are more punitive than custodial sentences.”

More than 2,000 people are currently being supervised by the probation service in North Wales.

DEFEATING RACISM in the European elections

Facts about

steps to take if racism and prejudice become a part of the campaigning in your area:

A refugee is someone who has a well-founded fear of persecution for reasons of their race, religion, nationality, social group, or political opinion, is outside their country of origin, and is unable, or owing to such fear, unable to return to it.

NEVER try to answer prejudice with prejudice. Keep to the facts.

An asylum seeker is someone who is waiting for his or her application to be recognised as a refugee to be considered by the Government.

REPORT any activity that simply exploits prejudice to the Equalities and Human Rights Commission.

refugees AND Asylum seekers

Asylum seekers come to the UK seeking protection.

They do not come to the UK to claim benefits and most know very little about the asylum system before they arrive.

This page is designed to give you the facts about migrant workers, asylum seekers, refugees and Travellers.

It dispels commonly held myths and outright racist lies spread by far-right groups.

Whether a candidate from a far-right group stands for election to the European Parliament on June 4th or not, it is important everyone is aware of the facts about people who are often the subject of divisive, racially-motivated propaganda, abuse and discrimination.

4 JUNE

VOTE!

Far-right parties thrive on a low turnout.

Make sure you vote on June 4th and together we can defeat racism across Wales.

Facts about

trAvellers There are various communities across Wales whose traditional lifestyle means they are not settled in permanent housing. Most are from Gypsy or Irish Traveller backgrounds. Some have moved into bricks and mortar homes, but still face prejudice from some in their local community.

Others live in caravans for which, in some cases, there are not sufficient pitches on recognised sites.

Local councils have a responsibility to plan properly for their accommodation.

The exact number of those who see themselves as Gypsies or Travellers in Wales is not known.

There are somewhere up to 3,000 in caravans around Wales.

Because many Traveller families cannot find space on council and other sites, they have to stop where they can. Yet the total amount of land required to provide sufficient spaces for the caravans that need them in Wales would be little more than the area of a couple of football pitches.

Travellers and Gypsies pay taxes and rent, and the police around Wales say they are no more likely to commit crime than anyone else.

Yet their health is much worse they live about a decade less than the average life expectancy - and face widespread prejudice, with their children often bullied in school and some caravans subjected to attacks.

WrexhamChronicle, May 7, 2009

A single asylum seeker aged 25 or over gets just £42.35 a week. Those aged 18 to 25 years old get £33.56. This is around two-thirds the level of income support. Asylum seekers are not allowed to work to support themselves, despite the fact that many are professional people, such as doctors, engineers and teachers, whose skills are in short supply in Wales.

VOTE! to keep the far-right out of elected office in Wales.

The cost of supporting and housing asylum seekers does not come out of local Council Tax. The full costs of housing and supporting asylum seekers are paid by the Home Office direct to the Council and to private sector housing providers.

Health authorities do not prioritise asylum seekers over local people. Asylum seekers are entitled to register with a local GP and do receive most services from the NHS, but they must go through the same processes as everyone else.

Facts about

furtHer ADviCe AND iNformAtioN

migrANt workers A migrant worker is someone who has come to the UK specifically to find or take up work, whether intending to remain permanently or temporarily and whether documented or undocumented. Migrant workers come from all across the world, including Europe, the USA, Australia and China.

Migrant workers are crucial to providing services, and evidence shows that migrant workers contribute more to the economy than they receive in benefits and services.

A number of migrant workers are in professional and highly skilled occupations and help to fill key skills gaps. Over the last decade in a growing UK economy most migrant workers have filled low pay low skilled vacancies where and when there have been labour shortages. As vulnerable workers, employed through an agency or in unsecure employment and subject to exploitation low paid migrants are often among the first to be made unemployed in difficult economic times.

Both Welsh workers and migrant workers can face poor conditions of employment.

Language barriers and poor awareness of employment rights often prevent migrant workers from accessing services and advice, which makes it much harder for them to integrate into local communities.

There were over 50 recorded incidents of racism, abuse and attacks UK-wide on Polish migrants in the media in 2007, with many more going unreported.

Ministerial visit to cable factory

Advertisers Announcement

Breaking News A very large nationwide supermarket has started selling a small range of mobility products -

Great News -

they are bound to be cheaper than your local professional mobility retailer because

• They have much bigger buying power • They don’t have trained mobility assessors, so saving cost • They “cherry pick” & don’t offer a full range • They don’t have trained back up engineer support Supermarket* VISIT: Wrexham Mineral Cable managing director Phil Thomas with Janet Ryder AM and Deputy First Minister Ieuan Wyn Jones.

ECONOMIC development minister Ieuan Wyn Jones visited a Ruabon factory making safety cable.

North Wales AM Janet Ryder, who accompanied her Plaid Cymru colleague on his visit to Wrexham Mineral Cable on the Wynnstay Industrial Park, Ruabon, said: “The safety cable of the type this factory makes

could be incorporated into many public buildings and I was delighted we were able to bring the minister to see the cable for himself.

“The standard of this kind of cabling, which can withstand extreme temperatures, could be the difference between life and death if a fire broke out in a public building.”

Ms Ryder said specialist

mineral cable had been used most recently at the Odeon cinema at the Eagles Meadow complex in Wrexham and urged the National Assembly for Wales to consider using it in its new North Wales HQ, which is designed to withstand bomb attacks.

She added: “I’m very pleased the minister has been able to see for himself the work done here.”

‘Excellent’ first year for hate crime panel NORTH Wales Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) is celebrating the first anniversary of its hate crime scrutiny panel and reporting significant progress since the panel’s inception.

The Homophobic and Transphobic Hate Crime Scrutiny Panel was set up to allow members from a diverse range of North Wales’s communities to examine cases of hate crime in the area to raise awareness of how the CPS makes decisions.

The panel also allows community members to advise CPS staff on ways to improve the prosecution of hate crime cases.

Ed Beltrami, chief prosecutor for North Wales, said: “Considering the panel has only been operating for a year, the progress made has been excellent.

“Many lessons have already been taken on board and relayed to CPS staff and to our partners in the Criminal Justice System.

“Panel members have also increased their knowledge and awareness of how the CPS operates and are feeding this into their communities.

“We have an excellent base to build upon in the coming year.”

Cases are selected independently of the CPS for scrutiny and community members set the tone

and direction of the meetings.

Issues explored in the three day-long meetings that have taken place so far have included the quality of information relayed to victims of hate crime and the improved application of section 146 of the Criminal Justice Act 2003, which imposes a duty on the court to increase the sentence for any offence aggravated by hostility based on the victim’s sexual orientation or presumed sexual orientation.

It is hoped more victims of homophobic and transphobic hate crime will come forward and report crime.

Waste plan welcomed

RNID fundraiser

WREXHAM AM Lesley Griffiths believes an ambitious new 70% recycling target for all waste in Wales can be met.

She was commenting following the publication of a new strategy by the National Assembly for Wales, in which it is intended at least 70%of all waste from Welsh households, the commercial sector and construction will have to be recycled by 2025.

She said: “I believe, with the right planning and the commitment and support of the people of Wales, we can deliver collectively on this plan.”

The proposed waste plan is out to consultation until July 22.

STAFF at the Co-operative food store in Dean Road, Rhosnesni, Wrexham, are holding an in-store collection to help the RNID. The staff, joined by RNID volunteers, will be collecting donations today between 11.30am and 2.30pm in aid of the charity’s Hear to Help service.

Hear to Help trains volunteers, many of whom have a hearing loss and understand the impact it can have on someone’s life, to provide support to hearing aid users in their communities.

The Co-operative aims to raise £2m this year for RNID.

Ford fires-up the RS vsehxiwx

COMMENT

Qehriww mr qevoixtpegi

FANTASY CAR: Xli Jsvh Jsgyw VW2

Ian Johnson

five-cylinder turbocharged Volvo engine which gives 324lb ft of torque.

This means that a lot of power is low down the range.

Ford deserve a great deal of praise because this is no angry road-prepared track car. It is a highly sophisticated machine that is electrifying to drive.

Just don’t try challenging this one at traffic lights.

THE letters RS have for years been the high octane fuel of a Ford fan’s view of four-wheeled fantasy.

A relatively affordable car that can show a supercar a thing or two and be the king of the byroads and rally stage is what the Ford RS series is all about.

It all started with the Escort RS of 1968 which was a lively little number, developing into the RS200 of 1974 which could attain 108 mph and hit 60 mph in nine seconds. Other RS cars followed but there has never been anything like the model Ford has just unveiled.

The RS theme is brought bang up to date in the new Ford Focus RS – and the launch batch of the car was an instant sell-out because so many enthusiasts wanted to get their hands on this 300bhp hyper-hatch which has caused some red faces among supercar manufacturers.

This latest fast Ford proves that you don’t have to pay six figures for utterly blistering performance because it is yours for £25,000.

It may be a familiar Focus at heart, but it has been made to look like a Transformer toy. Radical surgery includes muscular wheel arches, big spoilers and cannon-sized exhausts.

Bling these features may appear to

some, but once you are behind the wheel it all dovetails beautifully.

Its acceleration is spectacular and it keeps the rubber on the tarmac much more efficiently than some RS models I have driven in the past. Surprisingly so, considering it is front-wheel-drive, even when aided by modern technology. The problem is that overpower a front-drive car and a nasty phenomenon called torque-steer kicks in, meaning that the front wheels are spinning and there is an adverse effect on directional control.

The previous Focus RS churned out 212bhp which was simply more power than the car could handle. But in the latest version, Ford has upped power to

300bhp which is harnessed by an automatic torque-biasing limited-slip differential made by the gearbox specialist Quaife.

Accelerate hard out of a turn and the system gives greater power to the outside wheel, reducing inside-wheel spin. It is similar to the system used on F1 cars.

Ford has also incorporated a device called a Revo-knuckle to the suspension which makes high powered handling even safer .

I tried a planned overpower in a straight line with the new RS and did get a degree of torque-steer in second gear, but it was infinitesimal.

Power is from a much modified

Captain shines but it’s a Bridge too far Cricket

NORTH Wales League Premier Division new boys Chirk were brought back down to earth on Saturday as they went down to a seven-wicket defeat at Menai Bridge.

Buzzing after their opening-day success over Hawarden Park, the Holyhead Road outfit were able to declare on 160-9 after a half-century from captain Nicholas Flack (52) and decent knocks from Shaun Walker (25) and Jonathan Phillips (16). But, despite the best efforts of star man Flack (2-16) and Dave Kelshaw (1-41), Menai then made their way to 161-3.

Brymbo are still awaiting their first win of the season after they were also beaten by seven wickets at Mochdre.

Dafydd Rhys’ side were polished off for 111 and that total would have been far worse had it not been for the big-hitting Stewart Williams, who hammered 14 fours on his way to 71, and Nigel Roberts (17no). Sam Hayes (2-23) and James Claybrook (1-16) wickets aside, Mochdre then cruised to 112-3.

Llay Welfare’s flying start to Division One continued on Saturday as they powered to a nine-wicket derby romp at Brymbo 2nds.

Only Martin Hayes (22no) showed any sort of resistance as the hosts, at the hands of Dave Phennah (6-20) and Damian Bryan (2-6), were skittled for 61. Man of the match Phennah (33no) and Mike Phennah (19no) then swept Brymbo to 63-1.

Marchwiel & Wrexham also made it two triumphs on the trot with a nail-biting two-run home success over Denbigh, who were stopped just short on 96 (Darren Bettis 4-26, David Ward 3-9, Andrew Glover 2-30, Anthony Morris 1-23) in response to 98, an innings in which most of the runs came from the bat of Ward (38).

Gresford got off the mark with an 88-run home victory over neighbours Llangollen, who were bowled out for 92 (Gary Payne 17, Craig Boyle 15; John Bell 4-23, Paddy Richards 3-28, Sean Richards 2-21, Chris Ellwood 1-18) chasing a total of 180 inspired by an heroic stand by captain Chris Ellwood (88), supported by Alex Ellwood (35).

Bersham settled for a creditable losing draw at relegated St Asaph, who declared on 175-7 (Saresh De Silva 4-45, Daniel Williams 2-29) and then were frustrated as their promoted visitors held out on 111-8 (Darren Jones 37).

ROUNDUp Gresford’s nervous wait

FOOTBALL: Gresford Athletic are sweating on their Cymru Alliance survival after they lost their final game of the season at neighbours Lex XI 3-2 on Saturday.

The Clappers Lane outfit occupy the third relegation spot and will only survive the drop into the Welsh National League Premier Division if one of the clubs who have applied to go up have their bid turned down.

Former Gresford player Mike Latham put Lex ahead before Arron Edwards doubled their advantage on the stroke of half-time. Jamie Pugh reduced the deficit after the restart but, with time running out, Arron Aby added a third for the hosts.

The visitors hit back immediately through Owen Roberts, but they could not snatch an equaliser which would have proved vain in any case given Penrhyncoch’s home victory over Buckley Town.

Lex, who will finish in mid-table, complete their campaign at home to fourth-placed Mynydd Isa on Saturday (2.30pm) before taking on the same opposition in the NEWFA Challenge Cup final on Tuesday. The showpiece showdown will be staged at Wrexham’s Racecourse Ground (6.30pm).

Awesome foursome

GOLF: Geoff Morris, Peter Fey Irwin Elkin and Joe White (56.8) stormed to Seniors Texas Scramble success at Clays Golf Club.

Mike Hollings, Peter Lynch, Brian Mercer and Frank Carroll (58.9) were second.

Maureen Elkin (85-17=68) was the winner of the Club Ladies Strokeplay.

But she was pushed all the way by Denise Bromley (86-17=69), who was well clear in second from Anne Richards (98-18=80) and Janet Johnson (111-28=83).

The Ladies Challenge Bowl went the way of Janet Edwards (92-20=72).

India Friswell (82-10=72) was a close second followed by Johnson (102-28=74) and Hayley Owen (93-16=77).

Out with a whimper

RUGBY UNION: Wrexham’s miserable end to the North Wales League Division Two campaign came to a conclusion on Saturday as they went down to a 26-0 final-game defeat at Rhyl & District.

Wrexham 2nds drew a 70-point thriller at home to Mold 2nds 35-35 in Division Four.

Wrexham’s minis and junior sections will round off their season with a presentation day on Sunday at Bryn Estyn Road. The minis presentations for youngsters in the age range Under 7s to U12s will take place between 2-4pm and the junior presentations for U13s to U16s between 5-7pm.

The senior and the youth teams will be presented with their awards at the club’s annual dinner on Friday, May 29 (7pm).

Medal magic for siblings

MATCH-WINNER: Llay’s impressive Dave Phennah attacks Brymbo 2nds on Saturday.

MARTIAL ARTS: It was a real family affair as Hope & Wrexham Taekwon-Do Club stars shone at the English Championships in Nottingham.

Lauren Goodlet won the sparring title in her section as well as winning a bronze medal in the team event.

There was also reason to cheer for Lauren’s sisters Shannon and Alisha. Shannon stormed to a silver medal in her section and added a team gold, while Alisha won team bronze.

Sisters Abby and Anya Davies also claimed team bronze while brothers Ashley and Morgan Davies won team gold and silver respectively.

VH020509crkt-01

Perfect combination as Marchwiel win again YOUNG and old combined to great effect as Marchwiel & Wrexham 2nds maintained their flying start to Division Three on Saturday.

Rookie captain Owen Ward (50) and veteran Paul Ankers (46no) fired Marchwiel to 161-3 at Denbigh 2nds, who then fell 50 runs short on 111-6 (Chris Hemmings 2-29).

Castell Alun are also among the

early pacesetters after they too made it two wins from two at Llanrwst 2nds, who set 124-6 and then could not prevent Alun from reaching 128-6.

Gwersyllt Park were five-wicket winners at home to Buckley, who collapsed for 56 before Park posted 57-5.

Brymbo 3rds broke their duck on Sunday at home to Hawarden Park

Filer 4-30) in reply to 173-8, an innings in which fantastic Filer (75) and Dave Croasdale (39) did the damage.

Llay Welfare 2nds got their Division Four campaign up and running on Saturday with a 50-run success at home to Mold 2nds.

The Division Five champions were bowled out for just 96 (Steve Partington 28, Dave Jones 23), but they

responded well to snaffle Mold up for 46 (Partington 4-6).

There was derby joy for Division Five favourites Gresford 2nds as they got under way with a 34-run victory at Chirk 2nds.

The Clappers Lane outfit put on 190-9 (Steve Griffin 50, Ian Weaver 47) before Andy Thomas (2-11) and Co ensured Chirk could get no further than 156-4.

Promising future as Dragons take title

YOUNG STARS SHOW THE WAY

THE future of Wrexham looks bright after their youth team were crowned champions of the Puma Youth Alliance North West Conference.

Burnley’s failure to win at Oldham Athletic at the weekend means the young Dragons cannot be caught at the top.

Their title success is an incredible achievement given they are the only non-league club in the competition.

Wrexham’s season to remember, in which they only lost once, also comes after the club had their £300,000 funding halved following their relegation from the Football League.

A Dragons club spokesperson

Football

said: “The North West Conference is the largest and, this season, the most competitive of the four geographical divisions of youth football run by the Football League.

“Congratulations to coaches Stuart Webber and Joey Jones for leading the team to this thoroughly-deserved title.”

One of the side’s stars, Johnny Hunt, has joined fellow defender Kai Edwards and goal-machine striker Obi Anoruo in being offered a one-year professional contract, while midfielder Matty Hurdman will train with the seniors after being handed a short-term deal.

Wrexham boss Dean Saunders continued to trim his massive first team squad late last week when he released right-back Simon Spender. The 23-year-old, who has been with the club since he was 11, is wanted by Blue Square Premier rivals Barrow, with whom he finished the campaign on loan.

Midfielder Sam Aiston and Patrick Suffo have not been offered new contracts, although that could change.

Midfielder Andy Fleming is on the standby list for England C’s International Challenge Trophy final against Belgium at Oxford United’s Kassam Stadium on May 19.

■ Existing Wrexham season

GOAL MACHINE: Obi Anoruo fired the Dragons to the Puma Youth Alliance North West Conference title.

ticket holders can save 20% on the cost of watching their team next season if they renew before the end of May. Dragons bosses have frozen prices for a further 12 months as well as introducing a discount scheme in a bid to try to encourage supporters to spend their money early.

Racecourse director Paul Retout claimed the pricing structure was a realistic balancing act.

FIRST-TEAM SHOT: Kai Edwards has been offered a professional contract.

Club members heed Wales’ call Fencing WREXHAM Fencing Club aces played a starring role as Wales won the Senior Winton Cup. Such is the success of the Ysgol Clywedog-based club, seven of its members made their way to the English Institute of Sport in Sheffield for one of the biggest events on the British fencing calendar.

And the performances of David Gregory, Ben Hughes, Ben Roberts, Daniel Lumb, Lydia Johnson, Carolyn Benson and Stephanie Collister ensured Wales returned to the Principality with the cup in the bag for the first time this century.

While Gregory, Johnson and Benson are all seasoned Wales stars, the competition marked the first time their four clubmates had appeared on the

MAGNIFICENT SEVEN: Wrexham’s Wales stars Stephanie Collister, Carolyn Benson, Lydia Johnson, Ben Hughes, David Gregory, Daniel Lumb and Ben Roberts with coaches Jayne Hanlon, Mark Nelson-Griffiths and Rob Benson. senior international stage.

But they showed no signs of nerves as Wales stormed to glory without tasting defeat.

Steven Unitt and Keir McGillivray warmed up for

their trip to Germany by representing Wrexham at the Warwick Epee Under 13s in the Leon Paul Junior Series.

Steven and Keir could not get further than the last 64

and last 32 respectively, but their bouts acted as the perfect preparation for when they head to Ludenscheid next month to take on fencers from Wrexham’s twin town.
