Wife ‘made up’ assault claim A MAN has been cleared of assaulting his wife and the new lover she met via the internet.

Anthony John Gray, 55, was dressed only in a dressing gown and socks during an incident outside his North Wales home. Gray – who had discovered what he called “vile” text messages and emails between his wife Janet and her lover Rupert Ian Stewart – denied assaulting his wife at their home in Kay’s Villas, Marchwiel, near Wrexham, on December 29 last year. He also denied assaulting Mr Stewart when he came to pick her up. Mrs Gray had sent a text to Mr Stewart saying she had been beaten senseless by Gray and he drove from his home in Wellington, near Telford, to pick her up, prosecutor Emaline Downing told Flintshire Magistrates Court, Mold. It was alleged Gray tried to pull his wife out of the car, got into the back seat and the driving seat during the incident to prevent them driving off, and ended up assaulting Mr Stewart outside the vehicle. Gray said he had simply hugged his wife in a loving way because he did not want Mr Stewart to take her away after 30 years of marriage. “I did not assault my wife at all during that evening,” he told magistrates. Gray said he was having a coronary during the incident at his rival’s car. After Mr Stewart and his wife drove off he stopped a passing bus and asked to be taken to hospital. Police, who had been called out by his wife, were looking for Gray

Husband’s coronary after incident

when they were stopped by a bus driver, who said he had a distressed passenger. Officers found him lying on the floor of the bus, paramedics were called and he spent nine days in hospital. Mrs Gray, who admitted she had been seeing several men last year, claimed she had been punched to the head two or three times, slapped to the face and kicked on the floor by Mr Gray. She denied making it up – or her husband’s claim that she was drunk at the time. Mr Stewart said he had arrived at a lay-by near Mrs Gray’s home, her husband was agitated and shouting at her and he had his arms around her, restraining her. Mr Stewart says that at one stage during the incident Gray was in the back seat of his car and striking him over the head with an aerosol can. “He hit me first,” he said. “He punched me to the face.” Cross-examined by Richard Thomas, defending, Mr Stewart agreed he and Mrs Gray were at the time having an affair after they met on an internet dating site. Mr Stewart said he had become aware her husband had seen intimate text and emails between them. Mr Gray denied he had been violent to his wife and said he had not touched her that night. Magistrates found Mr Gray not guilty of both assault charges.

INSIDE STORY

Floods affect homes after torrential rain hits area HOMES across Wrexham were hit by flash flooding last Wednesday after torrential downpours left some houses four inches deep in water. Fire crews received 12 calls from concerned residents in an hour. From 4pm fire crews were called out

to addresses in New Broughton, Southsea, Gwersyllt and Brynteg. At three properties in Galaxy Grove, Brynteg, residents reported water cascading down their steps like a waterfall. Problems arose after drains were unable to cope with the volume of rain,

which fell in just a few minutes. According to the Met Office, between 20mm and 25mm of rain fell in less then two hours in the area. A spokesman said: “The heavy downpours spread through mid-Wales and up to parts of North East Wales.

“This was a lot of rain to fall in such a short space of time.” North Wales Fire and Rescue Service sent out three pumps to deal with the flooding, which had not prompted any flood warning from the Environment Agency.

A POPULAR photography club is staging its first exhibition. Pendine Park Photography Club is staging the event at its main site in Summerhill Road to coincide with Social Care Week, which ends tomorrow (Friday). The exhibition, Life Through a Lens, will feature 30 photographs capturing the four seasons at Pendine Park nursing home and respite centre. Four of the images will be chosen to feature on postcards and notelets by artist-in-residence Sarah Edwards. Sarah has been running art classes at Pendine for 13 years, and her commitment was recognised at the annual Arts and Business Cymru Awards, when she was presented with its Sustainability Award. “It was almost impossible to choose between the photos,” said Sarah. “I had thousands of excellent photographs to choose from. The residents have really enjoyed taking these photos and have a real sense of achievement. “It empowers them and boosts their sense of self-worth. They’ve looked beyond the usual and they’ve come up with some real fantastic images. “We just wanted to honour and celebrate that. “It’s inspirational to see what somebody can achieve if they put their mind to it. “It’s hugely important to retain your self esteem when you’re in a nursing home environment. It’s vital for yourself as a person to retain your dignity.” One of the club’s members, resident

Student on top of the world A MARFORD teenager has been named the UK’s Young Geographer of the Year with a little help from a jar of marmalade. Joe Benson, 16, a pupil of The King’s School, Chester, won the title in a competition organised by the Royal Geographical Society. Year 11 pupil Joe compiled a 1,500-word description of an Arctic journey, accompanied by a video blog and, after two rounds of judging, scooped first prize in the senior category for 16- to 18-year-olds. The video was shot in his garden by his sister Meredith, 13. His prize is a five-week expedition to Greenland next month. Joe had to identify a luxury item to take on a journey, which proved a toss up between a cricket bat and a jar of marmalade. After some thought, the marmalade won. “I love cricket and I love marmalade, but I discovered that Captain Scott took Frank Cooper’s on his expedition to the North Pole so I thought it was the most appropriate luxury,” he said.

Programme aims to stop offenders misusing drugs By Francesca Elliott A PROGRAMME aimed at identifying more drug using offenders within the criminal justice system has seen more than 270 people tested since it was launched in Wrexham on April 1. As part of the Tough Choices Drugs Intervention programme, suspects in custody for certain offences are required to undergo a drugs test. The test looks for the presence of Class A drugs, including heroin, cocaine and crack cocaine, in a suspect’s body. Throughout April and May a total of 278 individuals were tested at the Wrexham custody suite for the presence of Class A drugs. Out of those tested, 95 carried on to have an initial assessment with a drugs worker. According to a police spokesman, the majority of those individuals now attend regular drug intervention programmes. Insp Iestyn Davies of North Wales Police said: “These measures will reduce the amount of crime committed by offenders to fund their drug misuse habits. “The programme is aimed at getting adult drug-misusing offenders out of crime and into treatment and other support. “Since the programme started drug-related crime has fallen by more than a quarter and record numbers of people are being helped with their drug misuse.” He added: “However, this is not a soft option. “Those individuals who fail to attend their assessments commit an offence. “Prisoners who engage with the drugs interventions programme will be given the opportunity to access treatment and other support. “This can help to break the link between their drug habit and the crime they commit. It gives them a real chance to change their lifestyle for the better.”

NEWSFile Caravan case dropped

THE case against a North Wales woman who denied failing to remove a domestic caravan from land in LLandegla has been dropped. Anita Ashley, 55, formerly of Ruthin Road, Llandegla, was due to go on trial. Denbighshire County Council prosecuted her for allegedly failing to comply with an enforcement notice between October 2007 and June last year to remove a caravan and associated domestic paraphernalia from the land, as required by the notice serviced under the Town and Country Planning Act. Prosecuting barrister Jeff Clarke told Mold Crown Court the land concerned had been sold by order of Wrexham County Court and in the circumstances the authority would offer no evidence. Judge Huw Davies QC recorded a formal not guilty verdict.

Window fines reduced

TWO businessmen previously fined £16,000 for failing to put up glass windows on a listed building in Wrexham have had their fines substantially reduced on appeal. Jonathan Edward Price, 53, and David Vaughan Roberts, 60, own the red-bricked Victorian Burton Buildings, Bridge Street. Price, of Sandy Lane, Llanypwll, and Roberts, of Furnace Road, Ffrwd, both admitted the breach of listed building enforcement notice issued by Wrexham Council when they appeared before Wrexham Magistrates Court. But they appealed at Mold Crown Court and the fines were reduced to £9,000.

Students pleased to meat rugby star at awards!

Travellers targeted in fire safety campaign GYPSIES and Travellers across Wrexham and North Wales are being targeted in a fire safety campaign by North Wales Fire and Rescue. Organisers of Gypsy and Travellers Awareness Month, from June 1-30, are appealing to those living in caravans or trailers to follow basic fire safety precautions to keep them safe in their homes.

Senior fire safety manager Richard Fairhead said: “We are committed to safeguarding the lives of all those who live, travel and work in North Wales.” His safety tips include: ■ Fit a smoke detector in your caravan – ideally one with a hush button – and check it once a week. ■ Keep matches and lighters out of the reach of children.

■ Get a registered Corgi gas fitter to fit and regularly service any gas appliances. ■ Buy a carbon monoxide indicator from the DIY store. ■ Check all gas fittings and make sure your home is adequately ventilated. ■ To register for a free home fire safety check, call 0800 1691234 or visit www.nwales-fireservice.org.uk.

Aqueduct to feature in BBC TV show

HAPPY DAYS: Catherine Matthews, left, and Caroline Dyke with Kyran Bracken at Harper Adams University. STAFF and students of Harper Adams University College joined the leading lights of the British meat industry at a national awards event. Harper’s BSc Agri-food Marketing with Business Studies course was a finalist in the Best Training Scheme category at the Meat Management Awards. Finalists, sponsors and other industry representatives united at the Royal Garden Hotel, Kensington, London, for the dinner and awards arranged by Meat Management Magazine. Many of the companies represented have strong links with Harper Adams, through industrial placements and the employment of graduates. Former England International rugby player – and Dancing on Ice winner – Kyran Bracken gave the after-dinner speech, and presented the awards. Meeting Kyran was the final highlight of a busy day for students Catherine Matthews, 22, of Eyton, near Wrexham, and Caroline Dyke, 21, from Stone in Staffordshire, who had sat their final Harper Adams exams that morning. Both have completed the nominated degree course and will graduate this September. Catherine said: “I now want to use my degree to the full and pursue a career in the red meat industry, and be a success in whatever I may do. “I have loved every minute of the last four years at Harper. My course has been excellent, with a great year spent in industry, and I have made friends for life.”

■ Take care when cooking – don’t leave fat pans unattended. ■ Keep a torch handy for emergencies. ■ If you smoke, use suitable metal ashtrays – never smoke in bed. ■ Before going to bed or leaving the caravan, turn off all appliances. ■ Keep the caravan ventilated and don’t block up air vents – it could be fatal.

TELFORD’S DESIGN: Pontcysyllte Aqueduct carries the Llangollen Canal 126ft above the River Dee.

ONE of the great engineering achievements of the Industrial Revolution, Pontcysyllte Aqueduct, is to feature on BBC4’s Hidden Histories. The aqueduct will be featured in a fascinating first episode which uses computer animation to explain how it was built. BBC News anchorman Huw Edwards will present the five-part series. He follows the Royal Commission’s work on the ancient and historical monuments of Wales. The aqueduct, built between 1795 and 1805, is expected to be announced as Britain’s newest World Heritage Site in June. With its 19 spans and 38.4m height the aqueduct was the tallest in the world for 200 years.

By Ronnie Parry The terrain presented many obstacles to the engineers, William Jessop and Thomas Telford, especially the crossing of the Dee valley. Series producer Richard Edwards said: “I thought I had a good idea of what Wales had to offer in terms of its history and buildings. “How wrong I was! There’s so much more depth and hidden histories in this small nation of ours and I think viewers will be fascinated by what was uncovered during the filming of the series.” Huw Edwards said: “The Royal Commission is emphatic about the future of Wales, as well as its past.” The first episode will be aired tonight (Thursday) at 8pm.

‘It’s a disgrace – he should have been locked up for life’ A FOUR-AND-A-HALF-YEAR sentence handed out to a paedophile with a dangerous history who tried to groom two schoolgirls has been blasted as too lenient.

INDETERMINATE ORDER: Patrick Smith admitted trying to groom two schoolgirls for sexual activity while staying at the Plas y Wern probation hostel.

Patrick Smith, 44, admitted trying to groom two girls aged 12 and 13 for sexual activity while staying at the Plas y Wern probation hostel, Plas Madoc, near Wrexham, last January. He was sentenced at Caernarfon Crown Court on Friday last week to four years and six months behind bars. Although he will be eligible for parole after half that term the judge made an indeterminate order for public protection, which means he will remain locked up until it is considered safe to release him. Judge Merfyn Hughes QC said: “In my judgment there’s a significant degree of predatory behaviour and distorted sexual interest toward children, with a level of violence.” But some locals slammed the sentence and said with his dangerous history, Smith should have been locked up for life. Protestor Sue Charles said: “I am dis-

gusted, it is a disgrace. Given his past history he should have been locked up for life.” Another protester, Stuart Hughes, said: “I am very disappointed with the sentence, with what he has done before he should have been sent down for a lot longer. “We have concerns about the bail hostel housing serious sex offenders there – it shouldn’t be allowed to happen.” Clwyd South Labour MP Martyn Jones is lobbying ministers to get the level of offenders housed at Plas y Wern, a stones throw away from the Plas Madoc estate, downgraded. Smith had been sent to the probation hostel after completing a 12-month sentence imposed last year at Preston Crown Court for assaulting a girl of 13 on her early morning paper round in Blackpool, demanding sex and threatening to kill her. On Friday Judge Hughes heard Lancashire police had failed to update the court record for the judge at Preston to know Smith had been sentenced to 12 years in Ireland for two rapes – one involving a girl of seven.

But North Wales Probation Service chiefs defended the decision to house serious offenders at Plas y Wern. A probation service spokesman said: “Over the years, Plas y Wern has provided a place where we have been able to monitor and manage offenders and organise their return to the community. He said: “If the hostel did not exist, offenders would be released straight into the community with much less supervision. “It’s a question of balancing a difficult scenario and we believe approved premises like Plas y Wern are the safer option for society. “Because of the stringent regime at Plas y Wern and the close co-operation between the probation service and the police, Smith was caught very quickly when the offences came to light and was returned to custody. “We are mindful of the concerns of local people. We would like to assure them that our first priority at all times is public protection and, for that reason, it is important Plas y Wern continues to provide this service.”

Work tenders boost for firms CHANGES in the way Wrexham County Borough Council puts out work for tender could see a boost for local firms. A meeting between Plaid Cymru and senior officers at the council heard changes being proposed to the council procurement strategy was placing support for the local economy and sustainability at the forefront of council priorities. Cllr Arfon Jones, Plaid member for Gwersyllt West, said: “Since we were elected a year ago we have been pushing Wrexham council for a change in emphasis to ensure local companies weren’t excluded from the tendering process because they couldn’t compete with the big multinationals. “I’m glad this seems to have

been taken on board and we will see jobs and skills retained in the local economy to a greater extent. “There is a greater awareness that large contracts need to be broken down to enable smaller enterprises to compete and that is a real step in the right direction. “Councils and other public sector organisations have got a big role to play in boosting the local economy after all the job losses recently. “We will continue to monitor the situation and keep pressing for public money to remain, as much as possible, in the local economy.” The procurement strategy will go before Wrexham council’s executive board on June 30 for approval.

SCHOOLCHILDREN in the Rhos area have been busy making a wildflower meadow for the opening of Wrexham’s newly refurbished park at Ponciau Banks. The meadow, which will form part of Wrexham's entry into this year’s Wales in Bloom, was made from more than 1,000 plastic bottles the children cut and painted to look like wildflowers. Pupils of Johnstown infant and junior schools, Penycae CP school, Ysgol ID Hooson, YsgolMaesymynydd and Ysgol y Grango took part in the project, run by Caroline Pollitt, Wrexham County Borough Council’s environmental education officer and recycling officers Nick Price, Catherine Knight, Maria Hughes

WELSH Conservative AM Mark Isherwood has promised management and workers at Air Products in Acrefair that he will do everything he can to help safeguard the troubled plant. The company, whose head office is based in Pennsylvania in the US, has decided there is only demand for one facility, which would mean closing its plant at Acrefair. Union and staff teams are currently developing a counter proposal in the belief capacity will be higher than the company has identified, that different roles for staff can be looked at and that staffing costs can be reviewed in the context of productivity and work practices. Mr Isherwood said: “I will be supporting the counter proposal and will be writing to Debbie McCullough, vice president of Air Products, accordingly. “Air Products has a high and well earned reputation which is being put at risk by this proposal. “We must fight to safeguard this plant through difficult economic times so Air Products manufacturing in Europe can capitalise when economic upturn comes.”

Communications officer Kim Houghton said: “With the reduction of Government funding this year, we are constantly reviewing our expenditure. “The likes of Twitter and Facebook are free marketing tools that could potentially help us save money through the cost of producing promotional leaflets, flyers and poster. We are also hoping that

LOGGING ON: Student nurses Mark Perry and Fiona Hatton. they will also help us attract a more diverse and wider audience base for the hospice.” With more than 316 fans on the Facebook site and 224 followers on Twitter, the hospice is stacking up quite a fan base, including Mark Perry and Fiona Hatton, student nurses

from Glyndw ˆ r University. Facebookers Mark and Fiona have recently set up a group page for the hospice’s Ladies’ Midnight Walk, which has helped secure 54 walkers for the event. The event has 1,650 walkers registered so far and hopes to raise £200,000. Mark said: “We both hold the hospice close to our hearts. Everybody knows somebody who has been to the hospice, whether that be as a patient, or as a visitor. “We wanted to give something back and, with both being avid Facebook fans, we thought that this was the perfect way to reach our fellow student nurses, family and friends.” For further information on the hospice, call 01978 314292.

Art sale is fundraising masterstroke NIGHTINGALE House Hospice is to benefit from an art sale. Argyll Art will take place this evening, Thursday, at Rossett Hall Hotel, Rossett. Ten years ago, Jean Thompson and Hilary Barr initiated an art gallery in a tiny village on the West coast of Scotland which thrived and grew to be a very successful venture, supporting the numerous artists they discovered living in Cowal.

Last year they felt the time was right to hand over the reins to new owners and retire from the day to day running of a business. Wishing to continue their interest in art, they have formed STRAVAIG, a wandering gallery, to promote further afield some of the professional artists popular in their original gallery and at the same time fundraising for a worthwhile cause. At the Rossett event, there

will be paintings of Scottish scenery, jewellery, pottery and pewter framed mirrors. Tickets for their latest event are £5 in advance and include a complimentary glass of wine. To book, call 07818 448 878 or email stravaigart@yahoo.co.uk. Any remaining tickets will be sold on the door. The fun takes place from 7.30-10pm. A bar will be open during the event.

DISCUSSION: County councillor Hugh Jones, community council member and chief flood warden Norman Venables and AM Lesley Griffiths. JK050609PublicMeet-004 ROSSETT residents affected by flooding in the year 2000 have shared their experiences of how they were affected at a public inquiry. The meeting took place in Rossett Village Hall, with residents speaking out on what happened when the River Alyn burst its banks nine years ago. Wrexham AM Lesley Griffiths, who attended the inquiry, was pleased with the feedback. She said: “It was hugely encouraging to see so many residents come along and share their experiences about the floods of 2000, both how it affected their lives at the time and afterwards. “The Assembly’s Sustainability Committee Inquiry into flooding is important in terms of making sure that in future, we have the right safeguards and procedures in place in Wales, to minimise the impact floods have when they strike. “So, the input of the people of Rossett into that process has been very welcome indeed. “I would like to thank everyone who attended the meeting and in particular, Rossett Community Council for their help in publicising it locally. “When the inquiry is complete, I will ensure the community council and any constituent who is interested will be informed of its conclusions.”

Headteacher wins national award A HEADTEACHER at a school in Wrexham has won a top gong in the Welsh Teaching Awards at a ceremony in Cardiff. Maxine Pittaway, of St Christopher’s School, won the DCSF Award for Enterprise in Wales. St Christopher’s is a school for children with learning difficulties and disabilities. It is the largest school of its type in Wales, with 225 pupils. The school has a fully operating hair and beauty salon, a cafe, a Fairtrade shop, a car valeting business and a charity shop. It also has an environmental task force and a Millennium eco centre.

The hair salon is open to pupils from other schools and offers NVQ qualifications. One of the judges said: “As a result of her vision and drive, St Christopher’s is like no other special needs school I have ever visited nor indeed heard about. “I returned from the visit feeling inspired but also rather inadequate in not having been able to provide similar opportunities for my pupils.” Margaret Lonsdale of Bryn Gwalia Primary School, Mold, Mynydd Isa, won the NCSL Award for headteacher of the year in a primary school.

HONOUR: Headteacher Maxine Pittaway with her DCSF Award for Enterprise.

Pledge to protect 200 factory jobs DEPUTY First Minister Ieuan Wyn Jones has pledged to do all he can to safeguard jobs at Air Products, Acrefair, near Wrexham. He made his comments during a visit on Thursday, at which he received an update on the latest developments to try to save the 200 jobs under threat. The company is looking to transfer the work to an existing plant it has in China.

Mr Wyn Jones said: “Since the closure proposal was announced by the US-based parent company, my officers have been working with the workforce to try to produce a plan which would allow work to continue at the site. This has now happened and it is now up to the parent company to make the final decision.” Plaid Cymru North Wales Assembly Member Janet Ryder, who has also met

unions, staff and management at the site, said: “I know that a viable counter proposal is being put to the owners that will ensure that the Acrefair site continues. “Given the nature of the work and its importance to this area, it is important that we leave no stone unturned in trying to give this plant a future. Having said that, the final decision is being made at the US headquarters and is out of our hands.”

School uniform grant aid FAMILIES in Wrexham can get financial support toward the cost of a secondary school uniform.

THIS week (June 15-21) marks Refugee Week, a welcome opportunity to reflect on the experiences of refugees and asylum seekers, and celebrate the contribution they make to life in the UK. There are many myths and stereotypes around this vulnerable group, and that is why this year the British Red Cross is urging people to look beyond the refugee and asylum seeker labels, and see people as the individuals they are. A British Red Cross-commissioned ICM poll found nearly a quarter (23%) of people in Wales believe 100,000 or more asylum seekers come to the UK each year – four times the actual figure of about 25,000. On average people in Wales also think the UK is home to 28% of the world’s asylum seekers, when in fact only around 3% seek refuge in this country. Reassuringly, however, 92% of people in Wales have positive associations with refugees living in the UK. Confusion and misunderstanding should not be allowed to erode the UK’s long tradition of providing sanctuary for people fleeing persecution. Refugees and asylum seekers make massive positive contributions – socially, culturally and economically – to life here. Readers can see the stories of three people who have found refuge in the UK and rebuilt their lives by visiting www.lookbeyondthelabel.org. Eric, Aldijana and Ticha are just three from thousands of people who, forced from their home countries, have found safety and a new life in the UK. Each has their own story to tell and their own contribution to bring. Refugee week gives us the chance to not only celebrate individuals like these, but also to take pride in our own role in offering safety to those in desperate need. SIR NICK YOUNG Chief executive, British Red Cross

We need to help underachievers

THE recent Estyn annual report presented some worrying statistics, highlighting the desperate need for the link between educational underachievement and poverty to be broken.

It said eligibility for free school meals is directly based on low household incomes, and almost 68,000 Welsh pupils were entitled to free school meals in 2007. It is concerning that just 27% of those who received free school meals in their last year of compulsory education gained five or more GCSEs at grades A-C, compared to 56% of pupils who were not in receipt of free school meals. In 2008 only 46% of pupils achieved the Level 2 threshold – the replacement for the five GCSE measure, but including GCSE passes in English or Welsh first language and mathematics. A North Wales headteacher told me 22% of the pupils currently at her school were taking free school meals, the level for the latest Year 7 intake was 26%, and the level has been increasing year on year. We need to break the link between educational underachievement and poverty, but this is best achieved by targeting educational funding not at the poorest pupils alone but at the poorest-performing pupils, thereby recognising the two will often, but not always, coincide. Recent data obtained by the National Deaf Children Society Cymru shows that children in Wales who have a hearing impairment are 31% less likely to achieve five GCSEs at grades A-C than their hearing peers.

Deafness is not a learning disability and we need a firm commitment from the Welsh Assembly to close the attainment gap between deaf children and their hearing peers. MARK ISHERWOOD Welsh Conservative AM for North Wales – Shadow Minister for Social Justice, Equality and Housing

Price of milk is sign of times

IN THE 1980s I met a man in Tesco in Wrexham who stated some people will mourn the price of a container of milk when they are more than willing to spend lavishly on drinks in a pub – not just once, but several times. It’s true, what a person does with his/her own money is their own affair, yet we all need to get our priorities right. One favours a badly overdue cut in income tax to 20p in the pound plus a good amount of overtime to be tax free. It’s a question of capital investment and Labour working hand in hand, it’s only industry and commerce (back to the cottage industries of John Wilkinson’s day) that creates the welfare state. EMYR DAVIES Bryn y Wern, Smelt/Coedpoeth

Village post services are vital ON Tuesday, June 2, I was absolutely delighted to hear of Post Office Ltd’s decision to restore a full post office service in Bwlchgwyn Community Centre. The post office closed in May 2008 for operational reasons along with nine other post offices across Clwyd South. In a letter received by my office, the Post Office stated the new service will “offer the same wide range of Post Office products and services” as the former service. This is one of the many areas across the North Wales area where postal services are vital due to a high population of elderly citizens who would find life difficult without a local post office.

VIEW FROM

WESTMINSTER Clwyd South MP Martyn Jones

Obviously the post office being restored is great news and it’s vital for an area like Bwlchgwyn that postal services are resumed. It is well known in Clwyd South that I have been fighting with local residents to save local post offices and the return of this service is a good achievement in this fight.

We have signed petitions together and attended meetings to lambaste the injustice of recent closures. This recent decision is a small bit of justice for Clwyd South in terms of postal services. However, I strongly hope this is not the last word on my post office campaign as we are still a good distance from a victory. I still remain incredibly disappointed by last year’s decision to close several local post offices and I will not stop putting pressure on Post Office Ltd to restore services in the region. I have just under one year left in my final term in office and I fully intend to use it to continue to fight for those post offices that were lost about a year ago.

HUGHES the VIEWS YOBS stooped to a new level at the weekend after suspending brick-filled bags from bridges, causing damage to two trains. Fortunately, through sheer good luck, noone was hurt, although the train drivers were left traumatised. The three incidents all occurred along a stretch of track between Connah’s Quay and Shotton. The first occurred at 8.40pm, the second about an hour-and-ahalf later and the third the following day, involving yobs hurling bricks at a driver’s cab. The drivers of all three trains could have been seriously injured, or worse, killed by the mindless stupidity of these sick yobs. This is certainly not a problem restricted to Deeside. Trains have come under attack in, and on the approach to, Wrexham too. The question now is how are we going to stop these attacks before a derailment, or worse, someone is seriously injured or killed. Firstly, parents need to take more responsibility for the actions of their children. All too often children are allowed to roam the streets with parents blissfully unaware and indifferent as to what they are doing. Education is important in getting the message across to youngsters just how serious vandalism and anti-social behaviour is. But, unless parents take more responsibility, attacks will undoubtedly continue. Perhaps punishing parents with heavy fines or even jail terms for the criminal actions of their kids would bring about a change of attitude and make some parents take more responsibility and interest in what their children are up to.

Countdown to action-packed show By Chris Smith THERE’S just a week to go now before Cheshire’s historic agricultural show opens its showground to thousands of visitors. The 171st Cheshire County Show is being held at its usual Tabley Showground near Knutsford on Tuesday and Wednesday, June 23 and 24. Organisers are hoping the current changeable weather will be gloriously sunny during both days. The grounds will be open from 8am-6pm each day. Mingling with a multitude of expected visitors will be TV botanist Professor David Bellamy on the Tuesday, in what will be his third visit to the event, and Alex Langlands from the BBC’s Victorian Farm on both days. Hundreds of animals will be competing in show classes on both days for cattle, pigs, sheep and other livestock, light horses, ponies and shires, dogs, poultry, rabbits, cavies, pigeons, ferrets and sheep. In the main ring, heart-stopping displays from the RAF Falcon parachute team, UK leading quad-biker Jason Smyth and his Adrenaline Tour, as well as stunning falconry displays from Knutsford-based Gauntlet Prey, will keep spectators of all ages entertained for hours. In the Roberts Bakery Food Hall will be the Food Live Theatre with appearances from chefs from eateries across Cheshire, demonstrating meals which can be re-created at home using local produce from across the North West. The Tabley Showground opens from 8am-6pm each day. Dogs are allowed on leads, but not allowed in the food hall, Food Live Theatre and cheese hall or the poultry, pigeon, rabbit and cavies marquees. Visitors with mobility difficulties can book a motorised wheelchair or scooter by calling Oakwood Mobility for free on 0800 074 6789. To buy advance tickets by credit card, open 24

Grant scheme for woods MONEY doesn’t grow on trees but a new scheme offers every woodland owner in the region a grant. The Forestry Commission wants farmers and landowners to plant more trees to tackle climate change. A new streamlined process, with less paperwork, called Better Woodlands for Wales (BWW) has been launched. Richard Siddons of the Commission in Wales said:

“The grant programme is proving very successful with larger woodland owners. “Now we want to encourage more smaller owners to manage their woodlands sustainably and to introduce them to professional and profitable management practices. “Almost half the woodlands are in private ownership. We want to encourage them to manage their existing woodlands sus-

tainably and create 1,500 hectares of new woodland over the next three years.” BWW supports the National Assembly for Wales’s strategy for woods and trees, Woodlands for Wales by bringing more woodlands into active and sustainable management and by encouraging an increase in native and mixed woodland in Wales. ■ For further details, visit www.forestry.gov.uk or call 0845 604 0845.

Leicester five-piece Kasabian have started their mammoth summer of touring, arriving in Liverpool and Manchester later this month to coincide with the release of their third album, The West Ryder Pauper Lunatic Asylum. Singer Tom Meighan talks to Andy Welch about the album, his love of touring and his brotherly bond with the band’s guitarist Serge Pizzorno

asabian have had an epiphany. Despite having sold nearly two million records and being invited to tour with good friends Oasis, the band have only just realised they’re huge.

“It’s weird, man,” said frontman Tom Meighan, with puppy-dog enthusiasm. “We were doing Jools Holland the other week and we were the biggest band on it. “Before, we’ve been on with big names, Smokey Robinson, Jarvis Cocker and people. We were looking at the list for this one, and those names aren’t there – we’re the biggest band. It’s funny… about time!” Kasabian’s star is shining even brighter with the release of their cryptically titled third album, West Ryder Pauper Lunatic Asylum. “It was a real hospital in Wakefield,” said Tom. “Serge [guitarist and songwriter Serge Pizzorno] saw it on a documentary and thought it was a cool name and that was about it.” While that might be a simple explanation, the reason the album is so titled has deeper roots. This third effort from the Leicester quartet is a homage to the psychedelic albums of the 60s, albums with ludicrous titles and equally preposterous contents. “That’s it,” said 28-year-old Tom. “All those mad records, like The Rolling Stones’ Their Satanic Majesties Request or Ogden’s Nut Gone Flake by The Small Faces. None of the titles really make sense, and that’s what we wanted, in a way, but to make it modern and for the 21st century.” West Ryder’s sleeve continues that tip of the hat, with the Kasabian boys getting out the dressing-up box. Tom looks particularly dapper in a Nelsonesque military costume. “It’s like an English heritage psychedelia front cover, but it’s pretty evil-looking too,” he said. “That’s what we wanted, that was our concept. That, and to make it really, really good.” A swaggering frontman from the simian school of Liam Gallagher and Ian Brown, Tom’s never been short of confidence, even when, as he admits,

ENTER THE ASYLUM: Kasabian bring their UK tour to the North West this month. the band weren’t all that. Now, however, with their best, most ambitious album in front of them, he’s positively brimming with emotion. Thankfully, that cocksure streak doesn’t manifest itself as arrogance – he’s too likeable for that. Instead, it’s his boundless enthusiasm that comes to the fore. “I’m so excited at the moment,” he said. “As well as confused, on edge, you know, all these emotions are coming up before the album comes out. I’m not sleeping properly, neither is Serge. “I don’t know if other bands get that pattern, but I just can’t switch off, it’s bizarre. I go to bed for about two hours, but I can’t sleep. I’m just waiting for things to happen. It’s what we’re like when we’re on tour as well.” The band have been away from the public eye for about a year, although nine months was spent recording what would become West Ryder. After getting to a point with the album, “about 70% done”, Kasabian decamped to San Francisco to seek out the services of renowned producer Dan ‘The Automator’ Nakamura,

highly acclaimed for his work with Beck, Gorillaz, DJ Shadow and hip hop artists including Busta Rhymes and Kool Keith. “He’s not a natural choice, I guess,” admitted Tom, “but Serge has wanted to work with him for a while. It was amazing to get him, and to have another pair of ears on the album, to guide us through. He’s brought out the big beats and the album sounds amazing.” Being out on America’s West Coast clearly suited Tom. Having only been there while touring before, he says it was good to be in one place for a length of time, and feels the city energised his singing. “You don’t get more psychedelic than Haight-Ashbury,” he said, referring to the district of San Francisco synonymous with 1967’s so-called Summer of Love and fledgling hippy scene. “I think being there improved my singing 100%, gave me more of an edge. Dan’s studio is underneath his house, which was lovely. I escaped for four weeks or so.” He added: “I still didn’t do much sightseeing. Although last time we

turn the page for more entertainment news

toured I went to that horrible little island, Alcatraz. Walking around there was horrible. They should leave the contestants from Britain’s Got Talent there. Get them on a boat and send them there!” Back in Britain, there’s going to be no escaping Kasabian during the coming months. With a tour, a support slot with Oasis on their summer megashows and more festival appearances in between, it’s a gruelling few months for the band. Factor in their reputation for hard-living while on the road, and the prospect would make all but the hardiest wince. Tom, however, can’t wait. “I climb the walls when I’m off,” he said. “I’ve started painting – I’ve had a portrait of Brian Jones on the go for ages, but I haven’t finished it – and I catch up with friends when we’re not busy, but I miss touring. “Having time to yourself is great, don’t get me wrong, but there comes a point when I have to get back on the road and start playing rock shows again.” When the name Oasis is mentioned, Tom has nothing but praise for the band most see as Kasabian’s spiritual

predecessors. He’s quick to scotch musical comparisons, saying any similarities are more down to shared values and beliefs than any influences or sound. He said: “We believe in realism, like they do, but we’re from the other side of the rainbow to them, musically, and Noel would be the first person to say that as well.” Like the Gallagher brothers’ relationship being central to Oasis’s story, the brotherly bond between Tom and Serge, who first met in Leysland High School when they were 12 or 13, is equally important to Kasabian’s success, if less fractious. “We met years ago and were in the same class in school, but I properly got to know him when we were 17,” said Tom. “We fall out a bit now and again, a few scrapes here and there, but it’s all good. “I think I annoy him a lot more than he annoys me. Us lead singers are a rare bunch, but I love it.” Kasabian can be seen live at the Liverpool University Guild of Students on Thursday, June 25, and at Manchester Academy on Tuesday, June 30.

Audi’s new kid on the block vsehxiwx

with

response and transmission shift-points. This is just one of a whole raft of options available for this vehicle. The danger is that when ordering a loaded car, the price leaps astronomically. My test car with about 20 optional extras fitted tipped the price scale at a scary £57,790 when delivery, fuel, number plate and Road Fund Licence are also added. If I have a criticism, it is that the large door mirrors are set high and with my seating adjustment I found they did impede visibility somewhat. But other than that, the Q5 3.0 TDI is a tour de force of how to get it right in the SUV sector.

Ian Johnson

CREATING the ideal combination of sports utility vehicle and sports saloon has never been an easy task. These mid-sized SUVs have recently been led by the likes of the BMW X3, but there is now a new kid on the block.

The Audi Q5 has hit the marketplace running and has not slowed its pace because, unlike its hulking great big brother the Q7, the Q5 delivers the goods with much more grace. The 3.0 litre TDI Quattro version fitted with the latest seven-speed S Tronic twin-clutch transmission is a perfect example of why this model is becoming a must-have in the ranks of those who want their mid-sized SUV to pack a punch. Its strong driver focus is aided by longest-in-class wheelbase and Quattro permanent four-wheel-drive. Q5 has a low centre of gravity for an SUV, giving a great advantage in cornering, but the driving experience is enhanced tremendously due to a sophisticated five-link front and trapezoidal rear suspension system which converts the engine’s high torque output into unruffled progress, even over quite rough surfaces. Although the Quattro system is one of

SPOT ON: Eyhm wls{ xli} lezi mx vmklx mr xli WYZ wigxsv {mxl xli Eyhm U9724 XHM 2 the most advanced 4x4 arrangements available, you could never brand Q5 a dedicated extreme mud-mover. It is, in fact, king of the soft-roaders – vehicles that are capable of a degree of off-roading but major on using 4x4 technology to tackle the worst road surfaces and weather conditions. There are two petrol options, a 2.0 litre four cylinder petrol and a 3.2 V6. In addition to the 3.0 TDI diesel, there is also a 2.0 TDI. But it is the larger, more punchy diesel that brings the driving qualities of the Q5 to the fore. Capable of 139mph and possessing a 0-62mph sprint capability of 6.5 seconds, Q5

3.0 TDI can cut the mustard with ease in the ranks of the sports saloons in its price bracket of £33,815. The quality of the interior is impressive and there is more than enough room in the back and luggage compartment to service the needs of a family of four. Drivers wanting the sharpest, most car-like driving experience possible can select the unique-in-class Audi-drive select option at extra cost (£1,665). This allows the driver to fine-tune the dynamic characteristics of the vehicle, including suspension settings, steering behaviour, throttle

Super six ready to star on the big stage Fencing SIX Wrexham Fencing Club rising stars have been selected for Wales at the UK School Games. Jon Lambert, Ben Hughes, Stephanie Collister, Cassandra Eades, Daniel Lumb and Ben Roberts will compete at the multi-sport extravaganza in South Wales in September. For Lambert, it will be his fourth successive appearance at the event having participated in every Games since its inception. He will fight in the men’s epee along with Hughes, who will be hoping to replicate or better the bronze medal he bagged last year. Also hoping to triumph again once again is Collister, who, despite being just 14, is a Games veteran and 12 months ago won bronze. She will pits her wits in the women’s foil along with 13-year-old Eades, the ‘baby’ of the team who will be Wrexham’s sole Games debutant. Like Hughes, it will be a final appearance on the big stage for Roberts, as he will be too old next year. The in-form Roberts will go for glory in the men’s foil while Lumb, 16, will be hoping to cap his fourth Games start with a medal in the men’s sabre. In addition, Wrexham’s Carolyn Benson will be on refereeing duty in Cardiff.

Lloyd is back with a bang for Brymbo DAVID Lloyd announced his arrival back on the North Wales League scene with a stunning century on Saturday to see Brymbo to their maiden win of the Premier Division season.

The all-rounder, in his first league start since re-signing from the Liverpool Competition’s Colwyn Bay, cracked 25 fours and three sixes on his way to 178. That haul, along with the efforts of David Blackwell (44), Dafydd Rhys (42no) and Sam Hayes (31no), enabled Brymbo to declare on 312-5 before visitors Bethesda were bowled out 84 runs short on 228, with excellent captain Nigel Roberts (5-13) doing most of the damage. It was an afternoon to forget for Chirk as they were victims of a 10-wicket whitewash at defending champions Llandudno, who cruised to 53-0 having ripped through the new boys for 52. Marchwiel & Wrexham slipped from first to third in Division One after going down to a one-wicket derby defeat at home to Gresford.

Cricket The Clappers Lane outfit successfully chased down 183-8dec when just making it to 185-9. Llay Welfare remain level on points at the top despite their 28-run reverse at Northop, who declared on 218-8 (Dave Phennah 3-64) and then stopped the reigning kings short on 190 (Phennah 49, Nathan Humphreys 34). Bersham moved into the top five with a 62-run home success over neighbours Llangollen, who were halted on 175 in reply to 237-9dec. Brymbo 2nds were beaten by 108 runs at new pacesetters St Asaph, who set 227-5dec (Robert 3-49) and then skittled the strugglers for 119 (Tosh Maitra 49). Llay Welfare 2nds took over at the top of Division Three with an easy victory at home to Connah’s Quay 2nds. The Flintshire team put on 208-9, but that proved no problem for Llay, who powered to 212-1.

tally of 138-8 proved no problems for the pacesetters, who made it to 139 for the loss of just two wickets. On Sunday, Brymbo 3rds were beaten by Denbigh 2nds, who, in spite of Steve Edwards (5-23), posted 199-9 before ensuring the hosts could get no further than 108-8. Division Five leaders Gresford 2nds

Ex-international signs as former favourite returns

OLD PALS ACT TAYLOR MADE Football

WREXHAM have swooped to sign veteran former Wales international striker Gareth Taylor.

DRAGONS BOUND: Experienced striker Gareth Taylor, pictured in action for Doncaster last season, is signing for Wrexham.

Subject to a satisfactory medical examination when he returns from holiday later this month, the well-travelled 36-year old will put pen to paper on a 12-month deal. Delighted boss Dean Saunders believes Taylor’s experience will prove invaluable as the Dragons bid to regain their Football League status at the second time of asking. “Gareth played for Doncaster Rovers in the Championship last season and he is exactly the sort of player we need to bring the best out of youngsters like Marc Williams and Obi Anoruo,” said Saunders, a former team-mate of Taylor’s for club and country in his playing days. “They will learn a huge amount by simply playing alongside him and we are very lucky to have persuaded him to join us. In what is a relatively young squad of players, we need a spine of experience running through the team and Gareth will help to provide that.

BACK HOME: Mark Jones returns to the Racecourse. “I played with Gareth at Sheffield United and with Wales and he is the sort of character we need at the club. He will have a massive influence all around the place and he will be someone that the younger players can look up to and learn from.” Taylor featured 29 times for Doncaster last season and also spent five games on loan at League One’s Carlisle United. Capped 14 times, he has made 505 League appearances and

scored 122 goals, also appearing for clubs like Manchester City, Nottingham Forest and Tranmere Rovers. “I played in the Premiership when I was 36 years old and I have no doubts at all that Gareth will hold the ball up for us and score goals,” said Saunders, who is bidding to bring in at least one more frontman before the Blue Square Premier campaign kicks off. “He has an excellent pedigree and he wants to do well every

time he goes out onto the field. He has a big personality and he will be the extension of me out there during the game.” Saunders, meanwhile, admits Wrexham have probably seen the last of Aurelien Collin, although he would like to keep him. The French centre-back arrived at the Racecourse on a short-term contract in February and, after being sent-off on his debut, he went on to establish himself in the Dragons’ defence. The 22-year-old has set his heart on signing for a club in his homeland, but if a move back to France falls through, Saunders wants to bring him in on a permanent deal. Fellow defenders Mike Williams, who is now Wrexham’s longest-serving player despite being just 22, Ashley Westwood and Mansour Assoumani are all weighing up contract offers, along with striker Matt Jansen. Mark Jones has completed his return to his hometown club but fellow midfielder Shaun Whalley is on his way out of the Racecourse after becoming the 12th player to be released by Saunders since the end of the season. Wrexham’s programme has been named the best of the 68 clubs in the Football Conference.
