Leisure centre may be rebuilt Facility could be combined with clinic

A LEISURE centre could be rebuilt and a village for the elderly constructed under ambitious plans.

Wrexham County Borough Council chiefs say Plas Madoc Leisure Centre is out-of-date and too expensive to run, costing more than £1m per year. They are looking at either a refurbishment or demolishing the complex and building another from scratch. It comes as plans to build a £7.4m 73-unit old people’s village next to the leisure centre, so vulnerable over-60s can live independently, come another step closer. There are no estimates how much a new leisure centre would cost, but the next phase is to get design consultants on board to look at options including a revamp or rebuild. Plas Madoc Leisure Centre was built 35 years ago and proved a popular destination for locals with its wave machine and sports facilities. But Wrexham’s chief leisure, libraries and culture officer, Alan Watkin, said: “Facilities such as Plas Madoc were only meant to last about 30 years when they are either modified or rebuilt. “It could have also have the potential to combine the leisure centre with a health clinic for the area. “We felt it appropriate to appoint a design team to provide the new Plas Madoc.

COSTLY: Plas Madoc Leisure Centre and, inset, Alan Watkin of Wrexham County Borough Council. “This is part of a review of the leisure facilities.” The new-look centre would have a modern pool, gym, sports hall and play area, and would be cheaper to run, using new technology to heat and clean pools, meaning the building costs would even-

tually be recouped. The council has been in negotiations with the Pennaf Housing Group to build the elderly people’s village next to the leisure centre on the main car park. Council chiefs want to revamp another car park at the rear of the leisure

centre for customers, so the building of the units, with health support and social services on site, can get under way. If all goes well work on the units, to be paid for by Pennaf, should start in January and be completed a year later. The council promised to refocus on

INSIDE STORY

Lottery-funded wildlife garden to be unveiled ENVIRONMENTAL artist Lesley Martin will be at Nant Mill visitor centre to celebrate the opening of the BBC’s Breathing Places Wildlife Garden. The BBC initiative aims at getting communities friendlier with wildlife and is funded by the Big Lottery.

Coedpoeth Community Council received £10,000 from the Lottery fund to help it develop the garden. Named Nant Mill’s Breathing Place, it has a pond and an array of wildflowers. Lesley will also be hosting a workshop teaching children to make willow but-

terflies between 11am and 4pm and will be taking part in a walk around the mill’s grounds to celebrate the opening of the garden on Saturday, June 6. To date £8.5m has been invested across Britain into green space from scrubland to city parks and wasteland to woodland.

“It’s a very treatable disease if caught early enough but most men bury their head in the sand.” Matthew began with a 12-mile swim from Tarifa, Spain, to the coast of Morocco. He said: “It was so hard I contemplated drowning at one point but one of the guys in the boat following me told me I only had 2km to go. I was driven on by a fear of failure and kept going.” He then had a 1,400-mile cycle to London, via Madrid and Calais. As his knee had been giving him problems throughout, and he had not had a chance to run in training since January because of injury, Matthew cycled the leg he had planned to run before getting off his bike at Whitchurch. He added: “I’m shattered and am in bits but am so glad I completed it.” ■ Visit Matthew’s blog and fundraising pages at www.matthewbennett. co.uk.

A ROSSETT man admits he came close to quitting a gruelling 1,600-mile triathlon from Spain to Wrexham – but was driven on by his father’s illness. Matthew Bennett, 34, completed the ‘Suck It Up’ journey on Monday to raise awareness of prostate cancer. He was met by wife Anne and daughters Jessica, 18 months, and 11-week-old Emma after swimming from Tarifa to Morocco, cycling across Spain, France and England to Whitchurch and running the last 16 miles. His dad Martin has prostate cancer and has just finished an intensive period of chemotherapy. Matthew, who runs Bellis Bros Ltd, Holt, wanted to make more men aware of the condition. He said: “My dad was diagnosed with prostate cancer around three years ago but had symptoms before going to see a doctor. He’s had chemotherapy and now it’s just a case of waiting to see what happens.

A TEAM of Airbus employees spruced up the garden of a centre which provides out-ofschool activities for children and young people with special needs. Dynamic, based at Bradbury House, Salisbury Road, Wrexham, caters for children and

young people with all manner of disabilities, and their garden had become very overgrown during the winter months. Armed with pruners, saws, shovels and forks, the 20 Airbus A350 workers got to work quickly and soon cleared away the unwanted growth.

They then set about cleaning paths and painting furniture, cleaning the pond so the garden is ready for the children to use as the weather improves. The team also took along two large barbecues so the Dynamic youngsters can enjoy the outdoors even more.

Hospital donation in memory of son THE family of a nine-year-old boy who died after he was hit by two cars told how they were taking each day as it comes.

Last week, the family including dad Robert Jones, stepmum Tara Green, mum Dawn Richards and her partner Graham Crofts, handed over a cheque to Alder Hey Hospital, Liverpool, who cared for Robbie Gaunt before he died. Robbie, a pupil of St Christopher’s School, Wrexham, suffered head injuries and fractures when he was struck by two cars close to his home in Overton, near Wrexham. He died two days later at Alder Hey in March leaving the devastated family to come to terms with the tragedy. Ms Green said she backed calls for greater safety measures on the A539 Overton Road near Erbistock, where the tragedy happened. Ms Green said: “The family has presented the donation which is £450 to Alder Hey Hospital’s intensive care unit parachute fund. “I do believe they should introduce more safety measures on the road where the accident happened.” Following Robbie’s death, 61-year-old David James Lunn, of Moorland Avenue, Queen’s Park, Wrexham, was charged with causing his death while driving an uninsured vehicle and not in accordance with his license. Police also charged Lunn with failing to stop and failing to report a collision, two counts of driving while uninsured, driving without a license and perverting the course of justice. He is due to reappear in Mold Crown Court on Friday for a plea and case management hearing. A woman, aged 58, has been released on bail. ■ Anybody who would like to make a donation in memory of Robbie is asked by the family to contact Alder Hey Hospital.

Water firm cleared after polluting river WELSH Water has admitted it caused sewage to pollute the River Alyn in Bradley, near Wrexham.

But, after listening to the circumstances of the case, magistrates gave the company an absolute discharge. The company was, however, ordered to pay £1,130 in costs. Flintshire Magistrates Court, Mold, heard the incident was not foreseeable because a drain had become blocked by a tree route. Neil Evans, prosecuting for Environment Agency Wales, said in April of last year an environment official went to a wooded area at Bradley and saw sewage coming out of a manhole and cascading down towards the river. There was a strong smell of sewage and the river had turned a brown/grey colour where the sewage entered it. But Richard Kimberlin, defending, said the company, which was non-profit-making, was not culpable. A tree root had blocked the drain leading to Gresford sewage water treatment works, it caused only a localised change of water quality, there was no effect on aquatic life, and the mess was cleaned up within an hour. It was not a foreseeable or reasonably preventable event, its culpability was nil, and CCTV systems had now been installed, he said. He said the company had previously had a caution when a sewer in that area collapsed and suggested the same thing should have happened in the present case. He suggested an absolute discharge and magistrates agreed. Magistrates chairman David Tappe said the Environment Agency had not suggested any measures which would have prevented the occurrence. There was little or no harm to the river, which had been confirmed by the Agency’s sampling.

A 62-YEAR-OLD took off his trilby hat in a pub, picked his cider bottle off the bar and hit another customer over his head with it. Frank Joseph Satti escaped immediate prison following the incident at The Boar’s Head, Mold. Satti admitted wounding and received a 51-week prison sentence, suspended for 18 months. He was placed on supervision.

Mold Crown Court heard Satti, of Old Wrexham Road, Pontblyddyn, was already banned from all pubs in the town under the Pubwatch scheme following the incident on January 11. “You struck an entirely innocent man over the head with a bottle,” said the judge, Mr Recorder Nic Parry. “You walked some paces toward him carrying that bottle and there is evidence that if

you had not been pulled back you were about to strike him a second time with the bottle.” David Mainstone, prosecuting, told how Mark Pickering was in the pub and it was alleged the two men had made gestures toward each other. John Philpotts, defending, said Satti had been open and frank with the police, pleaded guilty at the earliest opportunity and was normally a hardworking family man.

Beekeepers warned to be vigilant of thieves BEEKEEPERS in Wrexham are on their guard after a criminal operation saw a million bees stolen in nearby Shropshire.

An epidemic of bee-rustling in neighbouring counties of England recently culminated in a major theft from a farm near Telford amid rumours of a lucrative black market in stolen hives. But beekeeping is on the increase despite crime, disease and cold weather, according to David Hards, chairman of the South Clwyd Beekeepers Association, which will be promoting the cause of the honeybee at The Gardening Show, Llangollen, next month and hoping to recruit members. He said: “More people are getting interested in keeping bees, not only for producing their own honey but also to improve the environment; so perhaps all the doom and gloom about the future of bees is having a good effect. “We will be at the show, hoping to recruit new people to the cause and offering

He said: “There is obviously a very real

link between gardens and bees – we rely on bees and other insects to pollinate our flowers and to ensure a good harvest of vegetables and fruit. “Anything that’s bad for bees is also bad for gardeners and so we’re really pleased the South Clwyd Beekeepers will be at the show and we hope they enlist plenty of new recruits – certainly bees are fascinating creatures.” Mr Hards said: “Thieves are opportunists but to pinch a hive and transport it you would have to know what you were doing so there must be some bad apples in the world of beekeeping.” He checks his own hives regularly but believes bad weather and disease remain much bigger threats to small-scale beekeepers than organised rustling. He said: “A major problem is the varroa mite and that is true for beekeepers, large and small.” For more details on David and his wife, Margaret, visit www.scbeekeepers.co.uk.

Sex with 14-year-old

A MAN indecently exposed himself to a 12-year-old girl in Wrexham. The incident happened in Park Wall Road, Bradley, at about 7pm on April 15, but details have only just been released by police. A man allegedly stopped his vehicle, a blue Saab convertible, and asked the girl for directions before exposing himself.

But the 17-year-old then tried to hang himself when he became upset when the girl, aged just 14, started speaking about her new boyfriend.

Depressed dad took his own life A FATHER-OF-FIVE hanged himself after taking a potentially fatal overdose of painkillers, an inquest heard.

For many years he had experienced severe back pain and had his driving licence taken off him when he suffered a couple of fits.

were hopes of them getting back together. The night before his death Mr Roberts collected tablets for his wife because she wasn’t feeling well and he later phoned to say goodnight. But the next morning he was found dead inside his house in Victoria Road, Brynteg, by his daughter’s boyfriend, Mr Shelly. Mr Roberts sent them a final text message during the early hours, which they did not see until they woke. Paramedics and police officers found a small box of tablets and a

two-page suicide note near the body. Pathologist Pauline Dowling’s post-mortem examination revealed there was no evidence of alcohol but a strong presence of painkillers in his body, a level greater than a potentially fatal overdose, but the cause of death was hanging. Mrs Roberts told the inquest: “There was a lot of pressure in his life over the last five years, especially after losing his job. “He would lock himself away and didn’t associate with anybody.” Deputy coroner for North East Wales John Gittins recorded a verdict of suicide.

Accidental death verdict on car crash

A WREXHAM father-of-two’s death in a Liverpool crash was an accident, an inquest decided. Michael Kendrick, 50, a project manager from High Street, Coedpoeth, died of multiple injuries when his car crashed into a Merseyside bridge early on March 16. His green Lexus LS400 hit the bridge near the Morrisons su-

newsline: 01978 351515

permarket in Speke Boulevard at 6.15am. Police said he was heading along the dual carriageway towards Liverpool’s city centre. He was on his own in the car and no other vehicles were involved. The inquest at Liverpool Coroners Court last Friday also heard Mr Kendrick had been driving within the speed limit.

Paramedics and other rescuers were alerted to the crash scene but Mr Kendrick was pronounced dead at the scene. His wife, Catherine Anne Lehane-Kendrick, a chiropodist, identified his body to police. Assistant deputy coroner for Liverpool Martin Fleming recorded a verdict of accidental death.

Volunteers join bike hire team ERDDIG had a wheely big response to its bike hut appeal. In April the National Trust property near Wrexham appealed for help to run its cycle hire around the grounds of the estate. At that time the shop was run by volunteer Brian Edwards. Now, thanks to the appeal, Brian has a new team to help him – volunteers Steve Hatton, Paul Beaumont and John Jones. They are now hoping for improved weather so visitors can enjoy Erddig’s spectacular grounds. Hire is available Saturday to Wednesday from 11am-4pm. Cycle hire starts at £4 per adult. There are children’s bikes, tandems and pull-alongs. Admission prices apply.

VOLUNTEERS: Brian Edwards with recruits Steve Hatton, Paul Beaumont and John Jones.

Nursery carer Rachel is delighted with accolade

TRIUMPH: Rachel Davies won Nursery Carer of the Year 2009.

A WREXHAM nursery manager received an accolade in an awards ceremony. Rachel Davies, manager of the Rossett House Nursery, Llay Road, Wrexham, scooped the title of the National Day Nurseries Association (NDNA) Nursery Carer of the Year 2009 in an awards ceremony at York Racecourse. Rachel won £250 of resources for the nursery and a luxury spa day for herself and a friend. Rachel said: “It was a huge shock and a lovely surprise to win. I love my work and think what I do is simply a part of my everyday work but it’s nice to know that parents appreciate it. “It feels a little strange to be an award-winning carer but all the children, parents and staff are absolutely thrilled. “I had a fantastic night at the awards, and it’s still sinking in!” Purnima Tanuku, chief executive of NDNA, added: “Rachel is a shining example of the dedication, passion and commitment nursery carers have and we hope she enjoys continuing to celebrate her special achievement back at nursery.”

Landlord’s plea for fair pint is highlighted WREXHAM MP Ian Lucas has said he will work with landlords to help secure pubs in his constituency. He was speaking after meeting landlord Phil Liddell of the Peal o’ Bells, Holt, at Parliament.

A TORY AM has condemned the scrapping of top-up fee grants given to students living in Wales studying in Welsh universities. The grants were introduced to help students pay toward their tuition at university. They were scrapped earlier this year, and will be phased out by September 2010. North Wales AM Mark Isherwood said in an Assembly debate: “The Labour Government expects young graduates, most of whom will be on average incomes, to mortgage their futures, burdening them with the dead weight of debt into their middle years.”

‘Make your vote count’ WREXHAM voters are being urged to make their voices heard in next Thursday’s election as people across Wales get to choose their four representatives in the European Parliament. The Electoral Commission wants to make sure voters know how to mark their ballot paper and ensure every vote counts. Kay Jenkins, head of the Electoral Commission’s Wales office, said: “For European parliamentary elections you need to mark one ‘X’ on your ballot paper. The difference for these elections is that you vote for a party not a candidate. “The political parties in Wales have selected a list of up to four candidates and the ballot paper will include this information so you can see who they are. “To vote, you just need to place an ‘X’ next to one party on the ballot paper.” Polling stations will be open from 7am-10pm. There’s a public helpline available until the election on 0800 3 280 280 and further information, including a virtual polling station tour, can be found at www. aboutmyvote.co.uk .

Climber scaling new heights

DIGGING DEEP: Airbus apprentices Rikki Humphrey, Mark Samways, Mark Stewart and Steffan Williams plant a tree for the Greenwave Project.

Airbus joins ‘green’ activity ECO-FRIENDLY apprentices at Airbus have planted trees at its Broughton and Filton sites. The action was a symbol of Airbus’s ongoing commitment to partner the United Nations Convention of Biological Diversity (CBD) on its Green Wave youth outreach programme.

Green Wave is designed to raise awareness of the crucial role bio-diversity plays in our lives and our futures. Mark Stewart, Airbus’s UK country manager, said: “Airbus recognises air transport contributes 2% of manmade carbon dioxide emissions and is fully committed to doing whatever possible to

reduce this impact. “However, aviation can also put resources and expertise into supporting the people tackling the major causes of climate change, such as the 20% created by deforestation. That is why we are committed to supporting the Green Wave programme.”

DETERMINED: Stephen Leech from Wrexham enjoys climbing and abseiling at Plas Madoc Leisure and Activity Centre. STEPHEN Leech is setting a remarkable example in the challenge to create an active Wales. The Wrexham 21-year-old is visually impaired and yet spends each week climbing and abseiling at Plas Madoc Leisure and Activity Centre. Stephen began climbing with a group of other local people with visual impairment and learning and physical difficulties as part the Mentro Allan/Venturing Out programme run by Groundwork Wrexham and Flintshire. His instructors plan to introduce him to outdoor climbing in the summer.

Family fun in the Meadow FAMILIES enjoyed a bank holiday to remember at Eagles Meadow in Wrexham.

The shopping centre held a family fun extravaganza on Sunday afternoon. The fun kicked off with Marcher Sound playing party tunes to get visitors in the mood for a party, and the radio station’s Thunders team handed out goodies to lucky revellers. Visitors were able to park for free all day. Stilt walkers, jugglers and clowns roamed the centre entertaining the crowds, while brave visitors could have a go on the rodeo. There was a bungee trampoline and bouncy castle for the children, a coconut shy, hook-a-duck and tin can alley stalls. Portuguese-themed restaurant Nando’s gave away 750 free burgers in return for a small donation to Marie Curie Cancer Care, which was at the centre raising money. Debenhams hosted a treasure hunt for the young ones, Frankie & Benny’s Sketch character and Tenpin’s Mr Pin mingled with the kids, Starbucks rigged up a giant noughts and crosses game, M&S had various vouchers up for grabs, Greggs put up a £1 snack stall and Odeon had 40 tickets to give away. Danielle Bozward, marketing manager for Eagles Meadow, said: “We were really excited to be hosting the free family fun day at Eagles Meadow. “With clowns, jugglers, games, stalls and free parking, visitors flocked to the centre and joined in the fun making it a day to remember.”

I WAS lucky enough as a Royal Welch Fusilier in the TA to spend my day collecting money with some local comrades (ex-servicemen) for the Army Benevolent Fund. The day (May 10) was a great success, with the 10 of us raising just over £1,000. The people of Wrexham were absolutely fantastic with their displays of generosity and support toward the armed forces. From OAPs who had lost loved ones to toddlers who were fascinated by our hackles and loved the stickers we gave out, it was a moving experience. The only blight on what was a beautiful day was when we tried to collect on Eagles Meadow. We had sought permission from the council to collect in Wrexham but apparently we needed to have gained permission from the owners of Eagles Meadow first. I would emphasise with the management if we had been causing a disturbance but we simply stood near the bridge and shoppers who wanted to donate were free to do so. It is a shame a town that supports the armed forces across a whole range of demographics has a shopping centre where potential operational soldiers and ex-serviceman collecting for the Army Benevolent Fund were made to feel like they had done something wrong. Thanks once again to the people of Wrexham though, you were great! FUS GRIFFITHS R J Via email

BNP hatred

THE leader of the BNP says the party hates nobody. How is it then that among the leaders and leading lights of the BNP there are so many people with convictions for hate crimes and crimes of violence? Anyone who has taken the trouble to read the BNPs favourite authors or to follow the BNPs activities both here and with their European allies will know that they are filled with hatred for Jews, black people, trades unionists, feminists and ethnic minority citizens. Nurses and consultants, school teachers and pupils, workmates, neighbours and friends and their children born here are all written off as invaders. If our fields and factories, hospitals, schools and transport

HOW the BNP must have loved the turmoil surrounding Westminster in recent weeks thanks to the MPs’ expense claims fiasco. Then their leader, Nick Griffin, a convicted racist, manages to get plenty of publicity by letting it be known his intention was to attend a garden party at Buckingham Palace along with a London BNP councillor, sadly, a legitimately invited guest. Now he has caused even greater outrage and has

Shockingly, the BNP leader sets at nought the sacrifices made by tens of thousands of Commonwealth servicemen in Burma and North Africa and neither the lives of Commonwealth seafarers lost on the Atlantic convoys nor the efforts of West Indian personnel in the RAF appear to count for anything. But at least the leader recognises the Polish contribution to the Battle of Britain by including one of their Spitfires on his election leaflet. I prefer not to harp on about the Second World War, it really is history now, but the back of my house was blown out by bombs from a regime whose views the BNP now espouse. In another raid the headmaster of my secondary school and his whole family were killed. After the war I joined the Navy because I didn’t ever want to see such a hateful regime again. The potential invaders never made it to our shores. I hope we can keep it that way by denying the BNP any electoral success in the UK. ROBERT MOORE Address supplied

HUGHES the VIEWS been accused of “sickening hypocrisy” by comparing himself to Winston Churchill. In a televised party political broadcast screened on Tuesday evening Griffin quoted Churchill’s “blood, sweat and tears” of British troops which, according to him, gives people the right to demand and end to immigration. Of course, Griffin conveniently forgets that not all British

voted in favour of ruining what was the world’s best pension system back in 1997. He supported the war in Iraq based on Tony Blair’s lies. He voted to scrap the 10p tax allowance hurting thousands of lowpaid workers. He then voted to close all those post offices, then hypocritically tried to make out that he wanted to keep them open. He would also no doubt have voted to keep the Ghurkhas out of the country if he had been at work that day. He did and voted as he was told by his Labour Party bosses. He typified the Labour Party manta “Power before principle, party before people”. He will be remembered for just one thing – when he threw that tomato at Margaret Thatcher, who had to clear up the last economic mess Labour left behind. K F MILLER Gresford

Ripping us off

I AM angry about the political class and how they are ripping off the taxpayer and I intend to register my protest at the polls on June 4. I had considered voting for UKIP but then I read of Nigel Farage’s boasts regarding how much he had raked in as a UKIP MEP – £2m in expenses. I shall be looking elsewhere for an alternative party to vote for. UKIP are as bad as the rest. ADAM DOUGLAS Via website

troops are white-skinned, blueeyed Anglo Saxons. Anyone unsure of the BNP’s stance on race issues only needs to listen to Griffin’s “Britain is full” views on whether the Gurkhas should be allowed to live in Britain, the country many have fought to defend and, in all too many cases, died for. Nick Griffin and the rest of his ultra right-wing thugs need to be stopped. We all, however disillusioned we might currently be with the political system and politicians in general, have a responsibility to get out on June 4 and use our votes. Should we, through apathy, send a BNP MEP to Brussels as a representative of our nation it would be forever a stain on our reputation and our freedoms.

here has been a long focus of MPs’ allowances in the past few weeks. Public anger as a result has been vast, and in many cases rightly so. There is no doubt some MPs have behaved disgracefully, made inexcusable claims and abused the trust placed in them. If there is evidence of any MP committing a criminal offence then he or she should be investigated and prosecuted. I have revealed my expenses details to the media, and any constituent who wants to is welcome to come to my office and see them. As with other MPs, I have drawn criticism. Its focus relates to, essentially, two matters. Firstly, I moved house in London. where I have my second home, in 2007 and claimed the costs related to that move, as is explicitly allowed in the rules of the House of Commons. My flat move was to make getting to the Houses of Parliament easier for me – not to make money. I have moved once in the eight years I have been in Parliament and I reject out of hand any suggestion I have somehow been “playing the property market”. When I bought in September 2007 the property market was at its peak and, as it happens, the one-bedroomed flat I have has fallen in value. This does not affect me as I have no intention of moving. At the time that I sold I paid capital gains tax as I have always regarded my flat as my second home. The second criticism relates to items bought, such as a bed, sofa and some flooring. All of these items are used in my flat in London and I have bought five items over five years. I have always been reasonable in amounts claimed and have never had any suggestion from anyone that any of the claims have been excessive. If MPs are not to be permitted to have second homes they would not be able to live in constituencies distant from London, such as Wrexham. I think this would make us worse MPs as we would have less local knowledge. The public must decide if they want MPs based in London or allow a system that facilitates MPs living in two places. An MP who is not based in the constituency, who does not understand its concerns or spend time meeting people on its streets, is an MP who fails their constituents. The crucial test for Sir Christopher Kelly’s independent panel which is working on reforms of the system in the coming weeks is how they tackle the way in which we ensure our MPs can live in their constituencies as well as serve those constituencies in Westminster.

Eisteddfod ticket sales increase

The Llangollen International Musical Eisteddfod, which takes place from July 6-12, is expected to attract more than 4,000 competitors and 50,000 visitors from more than 50 countries. The minister for heritage, Alun Ffred Jones, said: “Llangollen festival has always had a large impact on the tourist map of Wales, with 50,000 international performers and festival-goers visiting

Llangollen each year. “The festival is a unique Welsh event which not only celebrates our own culture but also brings together cultures from around the world. To have such a vibrant international festival on our own doorstep is something we are very proud of here in Wales.” Established in 1947 to promote peace and goodwill between nations through music and dance, the festival continues to thrive and shows no signs of relenting under the current economic climate. Mervyn Cousins, the festival’s executive director, said: “Ticket sales for this year’s festival are selling well, with almost all

tickets sold for International Children’s Day on the Tuesday of the festival. “We have also seen an increase on ticket sales for Wednesday’s International Song and Dance Day and Saturday’s International Family Day compared with sales for this time last year. “The uptake on ticket sales for Saturday’s family day suggests that families are this year choosing to spend their holiday time in the UK visiting local events.” This year’s festival will include an extra day of activities on Sunday, July 12.

Partners create academic force AN ACADEMIC partnership between Glyndw ˆ r University, Wrexham, and St Deiniol’s Library, Hawarden, has been formed. The two have formed a joint Centre for Cultural and Theological Studies. The move will enable the university to offer academic programmes in theology and allow students and staff access to St Deiniol’s collection and resources. It will stimulate research in his-

tory, English and cultural studies and enable St Deiniol’s courses to be run in conjunction with Glyndwr University. St Deiniol’s is the only Prime Ministerial library in the UK and the finest residential library, with a collection of more than 250,000 works specialising in theology and Victorian studies. It attracts writers, academics and students from across the world. The Rev Canon Professor Leslie

Francis, honorary director of the St Mary’s Centre – the national centre supporting religious education in Wales based at St Deiniol’s Library – and the Rev Peter Francis, warden of St Deiniol’s, have been appointed visiting professors. Professor Michael Scott, university vice chancellor, said the partnership would enhance the library and university’s internationally recognised research reputation.

Show’s green links to past THE £900,000 restoration of the garden created by the Ladies of Llangollen will be celebrated at one of the UK’s top horticultural events. Visitors to The Gardening Show, at the Royal International Pavilion, Llangollen, on Saturday and Sunday, June 6 and 7, can take a free minibus service to Plas Newydd. Now owned by Denbighshire County Council, which financed the garden’s restoration, it will be linked to the show for the first time. Plas Newydd’s head gardener, Gary Lovelock, promises the 13 acres, with their ornate topiary, parterre, Georgian shrubbery and dell, will be at their best for the show weekend. Gary, who spearheaded the five-year restoration, will be on hand to reveal some of its secrets. “The Ladies were renowned for their garden with its plants from around the world,” he said. “They particularly loved roses so the re-created topiary and parterre have been planted with pink, highly scented roses, as they would have had in their day.” ■ To book tickets for the show and save 25%, visit www.thegardeningshow.co.uk.

Eye in sky ‘vital’ tool for police MORE crimes are being fought from the skies than ever before in North Wales. The region’s police helicopter worked on more than 2,000 “tasks” – including hunting for criminals, searching for missing people and taking surveillance photographs – in the year up to March 13. New figures released under the Freedom of Information Act show the helicopter’s four pilots clocked up 827 hours flying time between them April 2008 and March 2009. That’s an average of just more than 15 hours flight time a week, at a cost

of £1.74m – about £33,400 a week. But North Wales Police says the public is increasingly seeing that as money well spent by the police. The number of tasks completed each year has risen steadily, with 1291 tasks done from April 2006 to March 2007, and 1792 tasks done from April 2007 to March 2008. In 2008/09 the helicopter team did 2084 tasks. Insp Steven Jones of the force’s air operations said many tasks could be performed on one flight, as the helicopter keeps a watchful eye over a wide area of North Wales, including Wrexham, and

can also move quickly across the region. He said: “The bulk of the work is searching, about 50% and half of that is for people who are vulnerable or missing people. “The other half of that 50% is searching for people who may be involved in criminal activity. “There have been a number of occasions where the helicopter has been vital in tracking down vulnerable people.” About 15% of the helicopter’s task time is taken up with image collection for planning operations and assisting neighbourhood policing.

hatever America does, it always seems that we are not very far behind. So it is with the end-of-school prom – once the epitome of all things American, it has now passed into our culture as a much-anticipated and planned-for event. The prom has, in fact, taken on a life of its own, with specialist shops springing up selling everything from gowns to tiaras. And while the dress code is decidedly formal it is open to interpretation. While the prom presents a rare occasion to dress like a princess in a full-length gown,

By Gil Lightfoot these days it is equally as acceptable to turn up in something short and sassy. Or something cocktail length. Something full-skirted or slimfitting. In fact, the choice is endless – because the fashion industry has recognised the fact that occasionally we love to ditch our jeans and swathe ourselves in silk and satin. And once you have found your gown, book yourself a stretch limo and you can live the American dream – well, for one night only.

Ewan’s back F

ilming in glamorous locations is one of the many perks of being an actor… unless you’re Ewan McGregor. While shooting Moulin Rouge, the smash hit Baz Luhrmann musical set in Paris, he romanced Nicole Kidman on a movie set in Sydney, rather than Montmartre. And while latest movie Angels & Demons is set in a sun-drenched Rome, Ewan says he didn’t make it there either. “Imagine that,” he said. “That was the only reason I took the job and then they said my scenes were in LA. “I’ve often fantasised that Rome would be a great place to work. Swan off set with your sunglasses on, walk to the nearest cafe, but that didn’t happen.” In the blockbuster adaptation of Dan Brown’s novel, Ewan plays Camerlengo Patrick McKenna, a man charged with the interim ruling of the Vatican City after the death of the pope. The Vatican denied permission for any filming to take place within its walls, so director Ron Howard set about reconstructing the location’s most famous sights – including the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel – in Los Angeles. Ironically, Ewan has been sent to Rome to discuss his new film, and sits in a deconsecrated church chatting about his LA experiences in front of a backdrop of original frescos. Angels & Demons marks a return to the big screen for Ewan after a spell pursuing other interests – notably motorbiking across the world with best friend Charley Boorman. He’s back in the game with a bang. High-profile movies this year include I Love You Philip Morris with Jim Carrey and The Men Who Stare At Goats with George Clooney. Slightly quirky-looking on screen, he’s very attractive in the flesh and looks effortlessly trendy in blue jeans, a black jacket and black scarf, topped off with his signature quiffed hair. He’s also charming and very open about his 15-year film career, but you can tell he’s secretly itching to get outside in the sunshine and head to a real Italian cafe. Angels & Demons, the follow-up to 2006’s controversial The Da Vinci Code, deals with the clash between science and religion, when the Illuminati, an ancient secret society, threatens to destroy the Vatican. But while The Da Vinci Code film sparked protests from the church, Howard’s latest adaptation of Dan Brown’s work has been billed as “harmless” by one Vatican reviewer. Ewan, 38, says he’s not religious but says he wouldn’t have put his name to an ‘anti-Catholic’ film. “I don’t think it attacks the Church,” he said. “It’s a far-fetched story set in the world of the Vatican, which is an interesting world. “I wouldn’t like to think it was an attack on the Catholic Church.” The camerlengo he plays has been brought up in the Church, adopted by the late pope, and has to make difficult choices to uphold his faith. In Ewan’s words, he’s “extreme in terms of what he does, but he’s doing it to save his church”. The experience was an interesting

MAN OF GOD: Ewan McGregor as Camerlengo Patrick McKenna in Angels & Demons and, left, with his wife Eve Mavrakis.

Ewan McGregor has put away his motorbike and returns to the big screen in summer blockbuster Angels & Demons, now showing at Cineworld in Chester and Vue at Cheshire Oaks. The actor tells KATE WHITING how he made filming more fun and why he has no career regrets one for the actor. “I had to use my imagination,” he said. “I can imagine a man dedicating his life to his faith and that that would be a rich thing to do if you were a believer. “But I wasn’t brought up with any religion, so all the ceremony, the funeral and some of the ritual stuff we did was new to me. We had a priest on set to help us with that and make sure we were accurate.” The film opens with a shot of the emotional camerlengo destroying the papal ring, as tradition dictates. Great reverence is paid to the Vatican scenes, but Ewan admits he wasn’t on his best behaviour all the time. “One of the first things we shot was the pope’s funeral and it was a relentlessly long day,” he said. “There was a lot of going up and down the stairs and Ron would say ‘cut’ and we’d come all the way back up the stairs and it was all day long this procession.

“Then someone, it could have been me, started singing Bohemian Rhapsody, not during the take I hasten to add, but it became kind of the theme tune of the day. There was a lot of singing going on behind the scenes.” While most of Ewan’s scenes were set in the Vatican, his co-star Tom Hanks, who plays symbologist and sometime detective Robert Langdon, was busy chasing around Rome after the baddie. “We had only three or four scenes [together] and a bit of running around, but it was very nice,” said Ewan. “He’s a lovely man and a great actor and, like most good actors, he was very comfortable to work with and there was no starry behaviour, you know, he was one of the cast.” Ewan was born into a showbiz family of sorts – his uncle Denis Lawson is an actor – and went to the Guildhall School of Music and Drama in the late 80s to learn his craft. Six months before graduating he won the lead role in Dennis Potter’s BBC drama Lipstick On Your Collar and went on to have his first big film break in Danny Boyle’s Shallow Grave.

Since then Ewan has stripped off in The Pillow Book, Velvet Goldmine and Young Adam, starred in three Star Wars films and turned his hand to singing and dancing in Moulin Rouge, as well as taking the lead role of Sky Masterson in the West End production of Guys & Dolls. Looking back at his career, he says he has no regrets, saying each film has been a “stepping stone”. “I’m not driven to achieve a goal, I’m just driven to do the best I can and to find something interesting to do next, so in that respect I can’t fail or succeed,” he said. “I’m so fortunate to be comfortable in my nice home and my kids are at a good school, so I don’t have to accept roles for money, I don’t feel I have to be in big films. That gives me an amount of freedom in my choices and that makes me really happy.” When he’s not away filming, Ewan is very much the family man, splitting his time between homes in Los Angeles and London. In 1995 he married Eve Mavrakis, a French production designer, and the couple have two daughters, Clara, 13,

and Esther, seven. In 2006 they adopted Jamiyan, now seven, from Mongolia. Ewan says he’d love to try his hand at directing one day, but will wait for his daughters to grow up before embarking on any big projects. “My youngest ones are seven and I think it demands a year-and-a-half of your time to direct a film properly, so I think I’ll wait until they’re a little bit older before I take my head space away from them for that length of time,” he said. “They do have an awareness that I’m an actor and that people come and ask me for my autograph, they find it strange, but they understand it. And we’ve tried very, very hard, apart from me being away a lot, to give them as normal a time as possible at home.” Ewan is excited his eldest daughter might be now be old enough to watch some of his films. “Not all of them,” he said. “But stuff like Brassed Off and Little Voice. I suddenly got quite excited that she could see those and be of an age where she can appreciate and hopefully like them.”

HITTING THE HEIGHTS: Northern Ballet Theatre returns to Venue Cymru with Wuthering Heights. AS PART of its 40th anniversary programme, Northern Ballet Theatre returns to Venue Cymru, Llandudno, with Wuthering Heights. The performance is a creative collaboration between composer Claude-Michel Schönberg and NBT artistic director David Nixon, inspired by Emily Brontë’s remarkable novel of 1847. Wuthering Heights will be performed at Venue Cymru from Thursday, June

11, to Saturday, June 13. The ballet was created in 2002 when Claude-Michel Schönberg, known throughout the musical-theatre world for his West End hits Les Misérables, Miss Saigon and Martin Guerre, made contact with David Nixon within weeks of his arrival at NBT. David decided a ballet based on Emily Brontë’s love story would be a perfect vehicle for NBT. The ballet focuses on the powerful bond that grows between Catherine

Earnshaw and the foundling Heathcliff; their lives inexorably linked for eternity in a darkly haunting tale, as bleak and beautiful as the Yorkshire moors that surround them. ■ Performances are at 7.30pm with a Saturday matinee at 2.30pm. Tickets, priced from £14-£25 (discounts, concessions and group rates available), are available from the box office on 01492 872000 or at www.venuecymru.co.uk. Call 01492 872001 for group bookings.

Hyundai in new league vsehxiwx

with

Ian Johnson

IT has been astonishing to witness the progress of the Korean manufactured range of Hyundai cars in Great Britain.

It all started with the cheap and cheerful Pony in the 1980s and then progressed to the Cortina-like Stellar into an upward spiral that has culminated in a wide range of affordable vehicles that have given bread and butter motoring an extra helping of quality. Hyundai recently started prefixing its models with the letter ‘i’ and one of the most significant is the i20 supermini. This model, which takes over from the Getz model, provides the range with a contender that can take on the best from Europe and Japan. It majors on impressive packaging, sophisticated technology and IMPRESSIVE PACKAGING: Xli L}yrhem m642 low running costs. It features specifications, safety features and more that make car has a combined economy figure of But the surprising thing is that this Hyit a match for many rivals and undercuts 54.3mpg which is exceptional for a petrol undai looks good when compared to many with prices starting at £8,195. powered supermini. I was able to cover European superminis. My test car was the 1.2 Comfort five-door over 500 miles in my example and this The initial five-door modern and the more which costs £9,445. included a lot of motorway driving. I had recent three-door have combined style and Powered by a four-cylinder petrol DOHC thought that it would be a disappointment functionality to a degree that places Hyengine producing 77bhp, its top speed of in the cut and thrust of multi-lane mo- undai into a new league in family car 1103mph and 0-62mph sprint of 12.9 toring, but it was surprisingly capable. motoring. seconds are not earth-shattering but are The western lines stem from the fact that The i20 features a firm ride and steering adequate for today’s driving conditions. with plenty of feedback and is a satisfying the car was designed at Hyundai's European What is significant though is that this little drive. headquarters at Russelsheim, Germany.

makes its predecessor, the Getz look positively old fashioned. Air conditioning and a host of other creature comforts are included and my car featured what many younger drivers demand a USB and I-Pod socket. Also available is a 1.4 petrol and two turbo-diesels of 75PS and 90PS power outputs. And of course there is the benefit of Hyundai's five-year, unlimited mileage, manufacturer backed warranty and a 10-year anti-perforation warranty. I once felt sorry for Hyundai with its lacklustre cheap and cheerful Pony. Now I feel sorry for Hyundai's competitors.

Samantha shines for hosts with most Fencing THERE were medals galore for Wrexham Fencing Club as they staged the latest round of the Leon Paul Junior Foil Series. The 100-strong event attracted top-class fencers from across the UK, with 10 of those competing coming from the host club. George Dolan and Stephanie Collister both won gold, in the Under 11s boys and U15s girls respectively, but their superb showings were surpassed by Samantha Fincham. In her first ever competition, Samantha stormed to U9s girls success. Her sister Pippa also fared well, just missing out a top-three finish in the U11s girls. Jed Houghton won U13s boys silver while Cassie Eades would have taken home an U13s girls medal had she not been beaten by the eventual winner. Beth Ellis cruised through the U11s girls poules before being knocked out in the direct eliminations, Luke Potts was so close to a last-four place in the U15s boys, while George Morris was 10th and Jack Davies 19th in the U11s boys. ■ See www.wrexhamfencingclub.co.uk for more information about Wrexham Fencing Club.

TEST TORMENT AS ROB IS LEFT ON STANDBY

Rugby union

By Paul Wheelock

A RISING star is determined to bounce back from the disappointment of missing out on his first Wales cap.

Rob McCusker was in line to join a small band of Wrexham-born players to earn senior international rugby honours after being named in the initial 32-man squad for the tour of North America. But the 23-year-old from Minera, who rose through the ranks at Mold RUFC before being snapped up by Magners League giants Scarlets five years ago, was told by caretaker coach Robin McBryde that he would be on standby for the Test clashes with Canada and the United States. Pacy flanker McCusker, who was training alongside the likes of Grand Slam-winning captain Ryan Jones in Cardiff, told the Chronicle: “I found out that I’m on standby so unless something happens I won’t be going. “I’m so pleased to be in their thoughts but it is just disappointing to fall at the final hurdle. “To be so close and to see all the lads ready to go is hard to take, but I’ll take it on the chin and I’m determined to get my chance again in the future. “It’s been great to train with the squad. I was a bit apprehensive at first, but the guys are all human and they have helped me as much as they can and really made me feel part of the squad.” McCusker admitted it came as a complete shock when he was initially called-up by McBryde, the Bangor-born former Mold player. McBryde, in charge as head coach Warren Gatland is on British Lions duty, has followed McCusker’s career closely and rewarded him for the fine form he has shown in his breakthrough season with the Scarlets. The Parc y Scarlets outfit are building a new team around the likes of the 6ft 4in 15 stone 11lb powerhouse and last week handed him a two-year contract. McCusker, who has played for Wales Under 20s and Wales Sevens, cut his teeth in the Principality Premiership with the likes of Llanelli before making his mark with the Scarlets.

SO CLOSE: Wrexham-born Scarlets star Rob McCusker is determined to bounce back after just missing out on a first cap for Wales. ■ Wrexham Under 9s enjoyed a weekend in Cardiff, playing a game against Llantwit Major before visiting Cardiff Arms Park to watch Cardiff Blues playing Edinburgh in their last match at their famous ground. They met Wales international centre Tom Shanklin, unlucky to be denied a Lions place because of injury, and Scotland international Chris Paterson, who kicked 15 points in Edinburgh’s 36-14 victory. In Wrexham’s 3-2 defeat to Llantwit Major, the North Walians started well and went one up through Rhys Pomeroy before conceding three tries. William Hanson set up a tense finish by reducing the deficit for Wrexham, for whom William Faragher was named man of the match. Another award was given to William Mills, the first player from the team to be knocked out during a game, making a full recovery in time to invade the hallowed turf at the end of the Blues clash.
