Family fun for freeat festival’s lanternmaking workshops

FAMILIES are invited to gettheir creativity flowing thisweekend at the last lantern-making workshop atCaerphilly Leisure Centre.More than 350 Frozen-

themed lanterns were madeat the workshops last week-end in preparation for theannual River of Light lan-tern parade on Thursday,December 18, at 6.30pm.

Caerphilly Leisure Centrewill host the last of its freelantern making workshopsbetween 10am and 5pm onSaturday and Sunday.The annual River of Light

parade sees hundreds oflanterns light-up Caerphillytown centre, accompaniedby carnival samba drum-ming, dancing, costumedperformers and fireworks.

A CAERPHILLY resident has been tak-en to court by Caerphilly County Bor-ough Council for a fly-tipping offence.Tanya Kidley, of Lon Yr Odyn, was in

court for an offence of allowing house-hold waste under her control, from a ve-hicle registered to her, to be abandonedon land at Penytwyn Isaf, Caerphilly.

Kidley, 35, appeared at Newport Mag-istrates’ Court on November 21. Sheadmitted the offence and was ordered topay a fine of £185, together with costs of£232.12 and a £20 victim surcharge.Councillor David Poole, cabinet mem-

ber for community and leisure services,said: “This successful prosecution is an-other indication of our commitment totaking action against those who commitenvironmental crime such as this.“I hope this conviction, the fine, and

the subsequent adverse publicity willdiscourage other potential fly-tippers.”Offenders of fly-tipping can face fines

of up to £50,000 and imprisonment.

the fox is mr dean’sfavourite animal to

photograph.

A WILDLIFE photographerfrom Pontllanfraith is aim-ing to turn his passion intoa professional career.Christopher Dean, 27, who

has been photographingflora and fauna for severalyears, is currently unem-ployed, but he has aspira-tions of turning his talentinto a full-blown nine-to-five.Capturing stunning photos

from across the Welsh coun-tryside, Mr Dean said hislove of wildlife and naturehas allowed him to createbeautiful work that has beenpublished nationally andbroadcast on television.He has photographed dif-

ferent types of animalsincluding foxes, squirrels,birds, and insects, and hehas recently turned his handto photographing fungi.He said: “I have always had

a love and fascination withwildlife and nature and wasalways amazed by documen-taries on this topic.”Mr Dean then decided to

turn his love of the outdoors

into a serious hobby.In order to perfect his craft,

he started researching dif-ferent species before puttinghis skills to practise.“I think research is vital,

the more you know the ani-mal, the more chance youhave of them becoming re-

laxed around you and beingable to get the shot,” he said.Mr Dean has been pub-

lished in the BBC WildlifeMagazine and won Photo ofthe Month.His work has now

stretched to other nationalpublications including

Country file magazine, andhas been shown as partof packages for nationalweather bulletins. Mr Deannow also uses social mediato showcase his talent.Visit facebook.com/christopherdeanwildlifephotography for details.

Church full ofhappy scouts

APPEAL: Oficers would like to speak to this man.

SCOUTS from across Gwentgathered for their annual ser-vice at Hope Baptist Churchin Crosskeys on Sunday.Between 500 and 600 scouts

attended, with each scoutasked to bring a food item todonate to the local foodbank.During the service, a new

standard for the 1st Ponty-waun Beavers - the youngestsection of the scouting move-ment - was dedicated by theofficiating minister, the Rev-erend Paula Parish-Foley.The district commissioner

for Caerphilly, Rhymneyand Islwyn scouts, MirandaYoung, said: “It was lovely tosee this wonderful old churchabsolutely crammed withhappy youngsters.“They have picked up on the

last message of their founderLord Baden-Powell who said,‘The real way to get happi-ness is by bringing happinessto other people’.“Three new groups have

been formed in 18months andthe Pontywaun group has, in

the space of a year, gone fromthe edge of closure to being athriving and proud unit.“Parents are realising that

scouting gives their young-sters a running start in thatit teaches them to be respon-sible and confident.”First group scout leader

of the 1st Pontywaun, MikeBuckingham, added: “It wasmagnificent to see the bondthat scouting has.“I think the children real-

ised that they are part of avery large movement devotednot only to improving as agroup, but as individuals too.“We faded away around 18

months ago, but there has

been a revival of late andwe’re very pleased that theyoungsters entered into theChristmas spirit. It was bothunifying and edifying.”

Pop legend in recoveryBy Hayley [email protected] @hayleymillsFP

A CAERPHILLY county-born1980s pop legend is recoveringfollowing exploratory surgeryfollowing several weeks of ill-ness.Steve Strange has been tweet-

ing from his hospital bed. Hewrote on Twitter: “Thank you allfor your concerns.His record label announced

on Wednesday that he had beenrushed to hospital in Bridgendfor the tests.Strange, the face behind the

band Visage which enjoyed astring of hits in the early ‘80s,including Fade To Grey and Mind

Of A Toy, was taken to the Prin-cess of Wales Hospital in attemptto discover the cause of problemsthat have culminated in a seriousbronchial infection and an intes-tinal blockage.Tweeting from hospital on

Wednesday, he wrote that he wasfeeling a bit “groggy”.Strange, 55, who was born in

Newbridge, has been promotingOrchestral, his latest album un-der the Visage name, but that hasbeen put on hold.A statement from his record la-

bel August Day Recordings – inresponse to rumours circulat-ing on social media – confirmshis admission to hospital “witha bronchial infection and intes-tinal blockage following a longillness that has left him virtu-ally bed ridden for the past fewweeks.”It continues: “For the past few

days he has been trying to con-duct a normal life in line with the

promotion of his classical Visagealbum, Orchestral, but althoughthose around him gave strict in-structions relating to him doingas little as possible, Steve hasbeen determined to push himself.“But sadly the exertion has tak-

en its toll and he started to suffera relapse of his ailments whichhas meant he has had no choicebut to seek urgent medical help.”Harriet Allen, from August Day

Recordings, said: “We wish Steveall the best. We look forward toseeing him back to full health.”The full statement is available

at www.augustday.net.

lucky resident whosename was drawn at ran-dom, after CaerphillyCounty Borough Coun-cil asked residents inLlanbradach, to givetheir thoughts on a re-newal area programme.Llanbradach is one of

the areas in the countyborough which has ben-efited from extensive re-generation after beinggranted renewal areastatus, which typicallylasts for 10 years.Renewal areas give

local authorities scopeto improve the housingand general amenitiesof an area, as well as de-veloping effective part-nerships with residentsand other public sectororganisations. They

See our website: www.pressureulcers.org for more information.

It is estimated that hundreds of thousands of people developpressure sores each year whilst in hospital or private nursingcare. Pressure sores are painful and debilitating and, if leftuntreated, can cause serious harm and even death. The costto the NHS of treating pressure sores and related conditionsis up to £4bn a year. These are truly shocking statistics whenyou consider that in the vast majority of cases pressure sorescan be prevented by proper assessment and nursing care.

Pressure sores are said to affect up to 20 per cent of patientsin acute care, 30 per cent of people in the community and20 per cent of people in nursing and residential homes. Theycan develop within hours and, although generally affect olderpeople, anyone who is immobile for a period of time can beat risk. Expectant mothers who have been given an epiduralinjection and rendered immobile are a particular risk group,as are younger people with mobility issues due to illness.

Anyone who has suffered or nursed someone with apressure sore will know how very painful and unpleasant thecondition can be. They usually affect the base of the patientsspine (sacrum) or heel and buttocks and cause misery formonths while they are being treated. It is a travesty that inmany cases this pain and suffering has been brought aboutneedlessly due to a basic lack of nursing care or the failureto provide the proper pressure relieving equipment, such asspecialist mattresses.

Most people are unaware that they may be able to claimcompensation for the pain and suffering caused by pressuresores which develop when they are in nursing care. Signiicantawards of damages have been made to patients who havedeveloped pressure sores. These awards relect the extent ofthe ulcers, and the length of time they have taken to heal. Insome cases the families of deceased patients are also entitledto compensation when their loved ones developed pressuresores, even in the later stages of nursing care.

Player jailedfor violenceA PROMISING rugbyplayer from Caerphillywho played with theGwent Dragons develop-ment team has been sen-tenced to 15 months inprison for stamping on agirl’s head while on a sus-pended sentence.Gareth Kemp, aged 22,

of Cenydd Road, Caer-philly, admitted affrayat a pub in Caerphilly inFebruary this year.Recorder Greg Bull QC

said it was a “disgracefuldisplay of violence” andsentenced him to ninemonths’ imprisonmentfor affray and six monthsfor breaching his sus-pended sentence.Prosecutor Nicholas

Gareth Jones said thedefendant had been givena two-year suspendedsentence for four of-fences including ABH,harassment, battery andwounding relating to anincident outside a pubin 2012 where he pusheda woman causing her to

break her nose and fallon another woman, caus-ing the latter to break hercheekbone.Mr Jones said the array

offence was “not dissimi-lar” and happened out-side the Court House pubin Caerphilly on Febru-ary 23, in the early hoursof the morning.Mr Jones said Kemp’s

girlfriend had an argu-ment with two sistersand he intervened. Hestamped on one girl’shead and pushed the oth-er over three times.In mitigation, barris-

ter Andrew Taylor said:“Both the defendant andthe defendant’s fatherthink his girlfriend islargely responsible forgetting the defendantinto some difficulties.”Mr Taylor added that

Kempwas hoping to starta new life in West Walesand leave Caerphilly.He added: “He is a

young man, he was notacademically gifted but

he was gifted in sport. Heplayed for Bristol and inthe Gwent Dragons de-velopment team beforebecoming disillusionedwith professional rugby.”Recorder Bull QC add-

ed: “You entered a fight ora row between your part-ner and another woman,your intervention wasn’tas a peace maker but asan aggressor.“It’s an aggravating

factor that you were inbreach of a suspendedsentence.”Recorder Bull added

he had “no doubt” thejudge who sentenced himin 2012 warned Kemp hewould have to serve hissentence if he breachedit.The nine and six

months sentences will beserved consecutively andKemp will serve half be-fore being considered forrelease.He was also ordered

to pay a £120 victim sur-charge.

Staff in dressdown days aidfoodbanksFOODBANKS in the Caerphilly countyborough have received a helping handthis Christmas, thanks to generous do-nations from council staff.Staff from across Caerphilly County

Borough Council took part in a Fashionfor Food day recently where they donat-ed items of food in exchange for dress-ing down.Fashion for Food is an annual appeal

held by the authority and is in its thirdyear. It was co-ordinated by the council’sCaerphilly Homes team, responsible forhousing in the county borough.All donated food was distributed

equally to foodbanks in Blackwood,Caerphilly, New Tredegar and Risca,which all rely upon donations from lo-cal people.Cllr Gerald Jones, deputy leader and

cabinet member for housing, said:“We’ve seen a stark increase in the num-ber of people relying upon food banks inrecent years. Food banks in the countyborough offer a lifeline to many localpeople, particularly during the Christ-mas period, and the council is alwayskeen to offer support in any way it can.“Again this year, the generosity of

council staff and businesses has beenoverwhelming and I would personallylike to thank everyone who donated tothis worthy cause, along with those peo-ple who helped with the appeal.”

inspired to help young people tolearn what I would consider an es-sential life skill.

“I want the youngsters to under-stand that communications skillsare so vitally important to pro-gress both on a professional andpersonal level. I can draw frommy own experiences with the me-dia and help people learn from mymistakes.”The school has confirmed it has

Diabetics urged to watch treatsTHERE are around 10,700 peopleliving with diabetes in Caerphil-ly and in the run up to Christ-mas a charity encourages themto be mindful of their condition.Diabetes UK recognises that

following a healthy lifestyle atChristmas can be a struggle, butstresses that having the condi-tion should not mean missingout on traditional festive foods.However, the charity does not

advise people with diabetes, ortheir family or friends, to buy

“diabetic” foods such as diabeticChristmas cake or chocolate.These offer no special benefitto people with diabetes and willstill affect blood glucose levels.Dai Williams, national direc-

tor at Diabetes UK Cymru, said:“We want everyone with diabe-tes to enjoy their Christmas andthat doesn’t mean denying your-self your favourite festive treats.“The key is to plan and be

mindful of how a treat may af-fect your blood glucose.

“The other important thingto remember is to stay active,as this will help you to manageblood glucose levels. For exam-ple, take a wintry walk to a localpark or landmark. Alternatively,you could try ice skating or evenhead out to the sales.”One or two high blood glucose

readings shouldn’t affect long-term control, but persistentlyhigh readings should be avoided.For more, visit diabetes.org.

Stylish Vitara delivers plenty of characterTHE old Grand Vitara has beendrawing its pension for years, soit’s no surprise that its replace-ment, the road-biased Vitara (no‘Grand’ this time) is light yearsahead.It gets a new chassis and is a

similar size to Suzuki’s own SX4S-Cross, but is shorter, wider andtaller.There’s also a newpart-time four-

wheel drive system, a whole bunchof luxury features including a re-versing camera, a panoramic slid-ing sunroof and climate control,and it’s not set to be particularlyexpensive, either. It’s very obvi-ously led by style and chunkinesssuits it to a tee.The interior is for the first time

customisable, with different col-oured trim inserts and even anoption to have the classy centralanalogue clock use Kanji Japanesesymbols instead of nondescriptdashes.While it shares basic chassis

components with the SX4 S-Cross,the Vitara has its own character.

It sacrifices boot space and somerear legroom, but adds width, sothree kids will fit more comfort-ably. The front seats may as wellhave been ripped out of the VIPlounge on a cruise liner. There’s somuch space up front that you’d bemad to want more.This is not a small SUV, but even

so, it’s a pleasant surprise to slot inand find yourself so high up abovethe road. There’s loads of adjust-ment in the driving position, too.The diesel engine is strong and

linear, if a little coarse at times. Itpicks up well even from low revsand drags the Vitara’s modestweight out of corners with gusto.Its slightly squarer footprint nextto the S-Crossmakes it feel slightlynimbler, but the steering calibra-tion on the pre-production car wedrove seemed too light and vague.Overall, though, the Vitara is avery pleasant thing to drive.With final UKprices set to be con-

firmed exactly, all we know is thatthis will be about one trim levelcheaper than the slightly larger S-

Cross, or something like £1,000 lessfor a like-for-like trim grade. Peo-ple with less need for boot spaceand more desire for style withoutsacrificing all-weather driving sta-bility will love it.

Sporty Porsche 911 GTS is touch of classAT first glance the 911 GTSmight look very familiar butthis particular variant is allabout the details. In the grandhierarchy the GTS sits be-tween the quickest “normal”variant – the Carrera S – andthe precision track instrumentthat is the GT3. It also bridgesa significant price void.So your GTS comes with a

more powerful 3.8-litre engine,unique suspension tuning, thechoice of two or four-wheel-drive, coupe or convertible,Turbo-look front spoiler, gor-geous centre-lock wheels andthe wider body. Although thebasic shape is the same the911’s looks depend very muchon the model you choose. TheGTS has that bigger Turbofront bumper with biggerscoops which makes it lookmore aggressive, but this isbalanced by the wider body atthe rear. Add in those beauti-ful centre-lock alloy wheelsand it looks superb. A CarreraS looks a little more pure but

it’s less fussy than the full-onTurbo.The 911 in any guise is still

a relatively compact car andsticks with two proper seats inthe front and occasional seatsin the rear. It’s the front seatsyou want to be in of course,and you get leather-trimmedsports seats as standard.Being rear-engined the boot

is in the front but it’s actuallyquite spacious.The key mechanical changes

to the GTS make themselvesfelt as soon as you drive away.With a unique suspensiontune and one that is a littlestiffer than the Carrera S, theGTS is clearly more focussed.However the standard-fit Por-sche Active Suspension Man-agement (PASM) means youcan dial up three differentsuspension settings to suit theconditions. The stats show it ismore powerful and faster thana Carrera S, but as the driverall you know is that it is a sen-sationally quick car. The en-

gine crackles away (helped bythe standard sports exhaust)as the revs rise and you canrev it hard. When driven hardthe GTS’s class shows; sharpand communicative steering,unshakeable brakes and beau-tiful poise. It’s hard to want foranything more.

Travelling by train can bemore costly than drivingCOMMUTING by car can beup to 30 per cent cheaper formany workers across the UK,particularly in areas wheretrain fare increases have ris-en the most.Some rail commuters are

now paying 162 per cent morefor their journeys than theywere only a few weeks ago.Commuting during peak

times prevents many railtravellers from enjoying thelower fares, which meansthat the car is often thecheaper option.A survey by Flexed found

a peak fare from Leeds toLeicester costs £63.40 for areturn, but a car can coverthe same return journey for£38.52.Even if the rail user trav-

els during off-peak hours,the train still costs more at£42.20.Other findings revealed

that a commuter travelingvia train from Nottinghamto Birmingham would ex-pect to pay £35.50 for a peakreturn booked online in ad-vance.In contrast, a return jour-

ney in a car would cost just£20.60.Many of those interviewed

for the survey said theycould use public transportor walk or cycle to work butchose to drive for conveni-ence, safety and comfort.

Major attraction gets set tohonour motor racing heroesSOME of motor racing’sgreatest names will be hon-oured at the inaugural Lon-don Classic Car Showwhen itopens its doors in a little overa month’s time.One of the major attrac-

tions at the show, which runsfrom January 8-11 at ExCeLin London’s docklands, willbe the Motor Sport Hall ofFame, a tribute to the eightfounding members of motorracing’s most exclusive club.For more than 90 years, Mo-

tor Sport magazine has beenfaithfully recording all themajor events every month in

the pages behind its famousBritish Racing Green cover.The magazine inaugurated

its Hall of Fame, recognisingthe sport’s greatest names, in2010. The display at the Lon-don Classic Car Show will al-low the public to experiencethe idea first hand, for thefirst time.Commenting on the oppor-

tunity, Motor Sport editorDamien Smith said: “Havingestablished the Hall of Fameas an exclusive club to whichdrivers, riders, engineersand team owners can aspire,we’re expanding the concept

beyond a glitzy VIP eveningin London, beyond the pagesof the magazine and website,and out to the people whomatter most: our readers andvisitors.”The thrilling display at the

show will turn the spotlighton eight pillars of the sport’shistory.They are F1 world cham-

pions Michael Schumacher,Juan Manual Fangio, SirJackie Stewart, Ayrton Sen-na, Jim Clark, Enzo Ferrariand Tazio Nuvolari, plus thegreatest driver never to winthe title, Sir Stirling Moss.

Female motorists are ive timesless likely to get breath-testWOMEN are up to five timesless likely to be breath test-ed than men, new researchclaims.Via a Freedom of Infor-

mation request, car insurerDirect Line discovered thatonly 23% of roadside breathtests are conducted on wom-en, and a lower proportion ofwomen fail them than men.Even in northWales, where

the breath-testing rate is byfar the highest in the coun-try at 72 tests for every 1,000people between August 2013and August 2014, womenmake up only 29% of thosestopped.The national average for

breath-testing is 12 tests per1,000 people, while one in tenmen fail compared to only 7%of women.Previous research by Di-

rect Line revealed that 17 percent of female motorists havedriven whilst over the limit inthe past year. When asked whythey did this, 14 per cent saidit was due to a perception thatthere was little risk of gettingcaught.Gus Park, commercial direc-

tor of motor at Direct Line,said “Roadside testing is animportant deterrent and helpsimprove driver safety by keep-ing intoxicated motorists offthe road.

“With such a small differ-ence between the proportionof men and women who passa breath test, it’s surprisingto see such a discrepancy inthe overall numbers beingtested.”
