I would just like to report that there have been no issues to report in Marchwiel of late which is great news, but as the dark nights approach I would urge you all to be vigilant and bear in mind that there are still some ‘not so good’ people out there. Make sure your doors are locked, even if you are in the property and also your belongings are secure, together with garages and sheds. Just for your information, it has come to our attention recently that there is a current Telephone Scam going on whereby the caller claims to be from a various or your phone provider on the pretence that there is an outstanding bill and threatening to disconnect the line immediately if you do not pay the bill. The callers have been pretending to ‘cut off’ the customer. Previously worried about having their line cut off, some people have been persuaded into giving the callers their bank account details. The caller appears to be able to disconnect the line – but they cannot – they hold the mute button down and listen to the resident attempting to make a call so it appears that they have disconnected the line. We advise residents never to give any banking details over the phone unless they are absolutely certain who they are dealing with. If you are unsure about a call: 1) Ask for the caller’s name and department details and then terminate the call. 6
2) Find a legitimate contact number for the company either on a bill or other official documentation , don’t use any numbers they may give you. If you receive such a call report it to the Citizens Advice Consumer Service on 08454 040506. Don’t get caught out. On a brighter note, by the time you read this Halloween and Bonfire Night will have been so I hope you all enjoyed the festivities and stayed safe and acted responsibly. Hopefully there won’t have been any issues or concerns I have to report on from this period. Thank you all once again for your continued support with the Spectacles Appeal and the latest request for football shirts for my colleague who is going to Uganda. Keep them coming it is most appreciated. Regards, Lynne.

Those beautiful Bentleys One of the most pleasurable events on my motoring calendar is a Press driving event at the Bentley factory at Crewe, and even though I have been there many times before, I still get a shiver of excitement as I turn right into Pym’s Lane where the factory is situated. I did this just a few weeks ago, and was surprised to see some major construction on the right hand side which will apparently be Bentley’s huge new showroom( something on the lines of Mercedes-Benz World at Brooklands), where customers can visit to see the company’s full range of cars in suitably plush surroundings. Mind you, the array of Bentley Continental models arranged as usual in front of the familiar Bentley office block has always been so very impressive, but there is a problem if the weather is inclement, which the new building will solve. What a spectacle these Continental models made in such a wonderful and unique range of colours. The Continental production line moves at a far slower speed than in ‘normal’ car factories, but the flagship Bentley Mulsanne line moves even slower, as it takes some 400 hours to build this superb car- 200 hours of which are spent in the interior trim and equipment, and the result is not just a car, but a work of art. Mind you, this is only for the ‘standard’ model, because many purchasers want their own special choice of equipment ,trim and body colours etc, and that takes much more time and much more money. 8
by Terry Davies
The Mulsanne four-door saloon with a 506 b.h.p. 6.75 litre V8 engine costs from £224,700. The Bentley technical exxperts were anxious to show us their new Continental flagship, the four door Flying Spur saloon, and on closer examination, it certainly IS a beautiful car, powered by the 6.0 litre W-12 engine which develops 616 b.h.p. allowing the car to accelerate to 60 m.p.h. in only 4.5 seconds and on to a top speed of 200 m.p.h. The smoothness and power of this engine, particularly when mated to a 12 speed automatic transmission, gives such a tremendous performance so silently and effortlessly, while you are cosseted in the delectable interior. It costs £149,900 in ‘standard’ form, and £151,340 in Mulliner spec. The 4.0 litre V8-engined Continental GT 2-door coupe is certainly no sluggard either, with a performance very similar to the Flying Spur, costing £123,850. Put your foot down in this model and the car leaps forward, but this time with the rasp of the sporting Audi-sourced V8 engine on song. All such a brilliant range of cars, but when my wife asked about the exclusive new Barnato leather handbag, you had to put your name down on a waiting list for that- and arrange a small mortgage for the cost no-doubt! She was surprised to learn that the top technical men we spoke to didn’t seem to know too much about handbags. Funny that!

HAVE A HAPPY HOMEOPATHIC CHRISTMAS! While Christmas still seems a long way off, it won’t be long before we are making frenzied preparations! Most people look forward to the celebrations with a mixture of excitement and dread! Why not give homeopathy a try this year and see what a difference it will make! If Santa was a homeopath these are the remedies he would be putting down your chimney this year…………….. • The build-up to Christmas can create feelings of stress, overload and irritability. Then Christmas arrives and you treat yourself to all your favourite foods and drink, especially alcohol and rich fatty foods. Not surprisingly these will often upset a sensitive system. Nux Vomica, the king of hangover and indigestion remedies, is bound to come in handy for ailments caused by over indulgence. • Christmas often means spending more time with people you normally avoid! If you dread the thought and are the type who soldiers on, seething quietly under your breath until it's all over for another year, Staphisagria is the remedy. Either all that silent resentment will melt away or you'll be able to say what needs to be said and clear the air! • Coffea Crudum is excellent if you are the type of person who lies awake with thoughts racing round and round your head. I often prescribe it for this type of insomnia. On Christmas Eve, if you have a little one who just can't sleep for excitement, a dose of coffea at bed-time should do the trick! • Arnica is a great remedy as a pick-me-up when you're simply over-worked and over-tired, legs and feet aching after a hard day's shopping. A dose of arnica and a hot bath will completely revive you. Arnica is also effective on bumps and bruises so you could need it for anything - from a fall off the ladder whilst you reach for Christmas decorations to a toddler bumping his head on the coffee table! • Phosphoric Acid is brilliant if you are burnt-out, partied out and worn-out! It's also a saviour for kids who've been to sleep-over’s where sleep was the last thing on their minds and they've been consuming sugary food and fizzy drinks. A couple of doses will bring them back to earth and calm them down! These remedies should be available from your local chemist or health store, or order online or by telephone from a homeopathic pharmacy or see your homeopath. For the purposes described, the 30c potency is fine - take up three times a day until things improve.

essential gardening Plant spring bulbs - Continue to plant spring-flowering bulbs, making sure you place them at the right depth. Tidy borders - Any perennials past their best can be cut right down, clearing away remains and adding them to the compost heap. Plant new hedges - Container-grown evergreens and conifers planted now will get a really good start in life, so complete new hedging projects as soon as possible. Divide perennial asters - Perennial asters like Aster x frikartii ‘Monch’ produce striking display of bold daisy flowers from late summer for an attractive autumn show. Lift and divide clumps every second or third year after removing old flowering stems and replant the new sections, watering them in thoroughly. Wallflowers - Fill gaps in borders with wallflowers for a great blaze of spring colour. Space them so that they will grow into one another and, for extra impact, plant tulips with flowers in a contrasting colour between them. Lawn care - Spike lawns using a hollowtined aerator and brush grit into the holes to improve drainage. Frost protection - Watch out for frost, which can bring a sudden end to fading summer displays. Bring tender plants and crops under cover or, if time runs short,
keeping a few sheets of fleece handy to throw over plants or containers can give some temporary protection. Collect fallen leaves - Make light work of your autumn leaf collection by investing in a vacuum for the garden. Many have an internal shredder blade fitted that chops up the leaves as they pass into the collecting bag. This helps to speed up decomposition into friable leaf-mould. Seeds - Saving seed not only spares you expense, but can produce novel results. Try leaving the last of the sweet peas on their plants to set seed and develop pods. Once ripe, they can be picked and the seed removed, cleaned and stored. Alternatively, sow sweet peas now for early blooms. Seed can also be saved from crops such as peas and runner beans. Green manure - Cover areas of bare soil with green manure crops, especially in the kitchen garden. Field beans and winter rye can be sown well into November. Both these green manures can be dug into the soil in spring, helping to improve its structure and increase its organic content. They are equally valuable in breaking down clay soils and adding heart to sandy ones. Houseplants - Should be watered less frequently as temperatures drop.

ETHICAL INVESTMENTS The week of the 13th to the 19th October was promoted by the UK Sustainable Investment Finance Association as National Ethical Investment Week the aim being to promote the concept of green and ethical options when it comes to people’s financial decisions. This has highlighted the growing awareness of Socially Responsible Investments (SRI) amongst people in general and the growth of SRI or ethical Funds. One of the main providers of ethical Investments in the UK are Aberdeen Asset Management who has over 20 years’ experience in running ethical funds and have built up a substantial research capability in this area. They also consult external researchers and Nongovernmental organisations to keep up to date with developments in this field. Their objective is to avoid investing in countries, companies or industries whose businesses offend against generally accepted ethical criteria. Amongst the companies that will be avoided on ethical grounds are ones that are involved in alcohol or tobacco production or involved in gambling and pornography. In addition they will avoid companies involved in intensive farming and product testing on animals. Companies where their facilities in the developing world do not meet internationally recognised standards on employment and safety would also be avoided.
On the positive side they would specifically be looking to invest in companies that have a positive approach to environmental issues and sustainable resources and with a high level of openness on all aspects of their business activities. Companies that recognise their responsibility to have positive impacts and adopt socially responsible business practices can make a significant contribution to society. In today’s rapidly changing global economy, there is growing evidence that responding to stakeholder expectations and anticipating and managing social and environmental concerns contributes to long-term success. Companies operating with integrity towards their employees, the community and the environment will enjoy comparative advantage in the long run Ethical investments account for £8.6b of investments as at the end of August 2013 (source Investment Management Association) but this represents only 1.25% of total funds under management which is the same as in 2012 so whilst there is more interest in socially responsible issues this is still to work its way to mainstream investments. If you are interested in knowing more about ethical investments or the criteria used by Aberdeen on behalf of St. James’s Place please contact us for a factsheet.
The value of an investment with St. James’s Place will be directly linked to the performance of the funds selected and may fall as well as rise. You may get back less than the amount invested.

In November 1887 a fatal accident to a young girl from Bangor Isycoed was reported in the Wrexham Advertiser. She was eighteenyear old Maud Johnson and worked as a housemaid at Hafod Alyn, the residence of the Chief Constable of Denbighshire, Mr Leadbetter. An inquest was held before the coroner, Mr B H Thelwell, two days later, with Mr C W Townsend as foreman of the jury. It appears that about four o’clock in the afternoon Maud said she was going to clean the ceiling light over the entrance hall of Hafod Alyn. The light in question was of frosted glass set under a skylight to form a ceiling light and there were boards to put across the opening in the stairwell at a height of between 20-30ft from the floor that were left upstairs for that purpose. However it appears that she had failed to take this precaution, and instead of kneeling on the boards she had knelt directly on the glass and the frame itself. Elizabeth Manuel, another employee was passing below in the hall at the time and saw Maud’s shadow on
the glass. She shouted to the girl to get off the glass and rushed up the stairs but before she was half way up she heard a crash and going back down found the housemaid lying on her back on the floor. She had apparently struck her head on an oak table in the hall, breaking it, before falling to the floor. Margaret MacDonald, a personal maid, said that she had last seen Maud just over an hour before in the kitchen and was in the pantry at the time when she heard the crash. On rushing to the hall she found the maid lying half sideways on the floor and bleeding from the back of her head. She was still alive but she did not speak and she saw her breathe twice after she reached her. She thought at first that she had fallen from a ladder in the hall until she saw the broken glass and looked up. None of the framework of the light had given way just the glass. The jury returned a verdict of ‘Accidental death’ and the coroner stressed the need to take all possible precautions to prevent similar accidents again.
After the long-awaited launch of the book ‘The History of Bangor Isycoed’ in the village hall on 26th October copies will be made available to purchase from the Middle Shop, Heads Above, Jones the Computer, King St, Wrexham and Johnsons’ Basket Shop all in Bangor, price £18. The book contains over 400 pages and 300 pictures, photographs and illustrations and is the result of eight years research and all the profit will be donated to St. Dunawd’s church, Bangor. 32

Cold Caller
WARNING Cold callers trying to sell treatments to walls and roofs are in the area and Trading Standards are warning residents to be on their guard. They have been contacted by householders to tell them that cold callers have made claims, backed up with information leaflets, that the treatments will improve insulation, save energy, reduce damp and protect from flooding. In cases seen by Trading Standards costs have ranged from nearly £4000 to nearly £6000. Typically the caller will be keen to sign up there and then for work to be done and take a deposit. Many householders will think twice before committing to this level of expenditure but some residents in our community will be very susceptible to this approach and may even sign up just to get rid of the caller. Trading Standards are urging everyone to be alert and to look out for their more vulnerable friends, family and neighbours. If you get a call, or find out that callers have been to anyone you know, please report it. The law provides a “cooling off” period for cold calling which gives the householder a short time to change their mind after signing.
If you, or anyone you know has signed up, there may still be time to cancel, even if work has already started or been completed. In some circumstances there will also be a right to recover money paid even if work has already been done. For help in this situation, and to report callers, ring Citizens Advice Consumer Services on 08454 040506 (040505 for Welsh) Trading Standards ask everyone to think very carefully before signing up for or buying anything from people who cold call at your door. Don’t be pressured into buying or signing up for anything. Give yourself time to think about it and don’t be swayed by price reductions that are only available if you sign up on the spot. For more advice contact Citizens Advice Consumer Services on 08454 040506 If you have any concerns for your personal safety or if you are having difficulty getting a salesman to leave your home call Police on 101. For general consumer information contact Consumer Direct on 08454 04 05 06
Don’t see red this festive season. Cut and control what you spend and next year won’t be about getting back to black. 1. Draw up a budget listing what you can afford to spend on presents, decorations and entertaining and stick to it. 2. Don’t panic buy at the last minute. Purchase presents month by month and take advantage of special offers and so on. 3. Get specific items for specific people. Make a note of who they’re for - and don’t forget where you’ve stashed them. 4. If you’ve got a group of friends who buy for each other, do a Secret Santa instead and set a reasonable ceiling for the present value. 5. If you know what you want, shop around for gifts. Use price comparison websites, such as Dealtime, Kelkoo or Pricerunner, even if armed with the results of your research, you then head off to the high
street to do your actual purchasing. Go to www.dealtime.co.uk, www.kelkoo.co.uk or www.pricerunner.co.uk. 6. Giving doesn’t have to cost money. Think about what people would really appreciate and give vouchers for babysitting, dog walking, car washing or decorating. 7. Make your own wrapping paper and gift tags. Keep them simple and sophisticated and you’ll come across as arty, not tight. 8. Do your own decorations. Go for a country walk and collect pine cones or make dual purpose edible decorations that look and taste good. 9. If you’re away over the festive season save on energy and bills by switching off and unplugging electrical equipment. 10. Turn down your heating, just a little bit, but not so low that your pipes freeze and then burst if there’s a cold spell.
