Operation Scoopy Poo!
In response to concerns raised in local resident’s meetings, Operation Scoopy Poo will be running in Caia Park during July and August. North Wales Police will be working with Council Enforcement Officer and issuing fines to people who do not pick up their dog litter.
According to recent surveys the waste left behind by dogs is the single biggest environmental concern that people have about their local area. The overwhelming majority of people (95% of those questioned) find dog waste unacceptable. Dog waste is not only an extremely unpleasant and unwelcome commodity it is also the perfect breeding ground for bacteria (Campylobacter and Salmonella) and other forms of infection. The most damaging of these is caused by the roundworm Toxocara canis. The eggs of this parasite are present in much dog waste and although initially not infectious, once the eggs hatch they pose serious health risks to any individual unlucky enough to ingest infected soil. The effects of Toxocariasis range from mild flu like symptoms that often go undiagnosed to a more worrying form that affects the eye and can lead to permanent blindness. The risks to health from Toxocara infection can be limited by always washing your hands after coming into contact with any soil and ensuring that dogs are wormed regularly, particularly puppies and lactating bitches

Hillbilly Hootenanny!
Ever wondered about the roots of country Music? Turning back time before the Nashville Sound? Hillbilly Hootenanny gives you a glimpse at a company of back porch pickers performing music that has shaped their lives and the lives of many since the 1940’s. The music of the Cater Family, Johnny Cash, Hank Williams and other artists who have performed in the time between then and now, will fill the hall with an atmosphere of “dyed-in-the-cloth” Country Music.
Heading up this troupe of seasoned performers is Welsh-born Ian Cal Ford. Following in the footsteps of his father Cal Ford, who was affectionately known to many as “The Welsh Johnny Cash”, Ian carries on the family tradition by honouring Country Music with a sincere appreciation of its history. His long-time musical companions The Railmen provide superb instrumental backing. Together they recreate the authentic sound that made Sum Records famous.
Dave Duke performs country Swing that will set your toes a-tapping. A consummate musician, who has performed in countless successful bands of various genres, will perform a style of music that he has a passion for and it shows.
Canadian singer/songwriter Chuck Micallef brings the Country Folk element to the show. Chuck performs and writes in an intimate story telling style that lends itself to the delivery of lyrical imagery.
All the performers have appeared in numerous venues both sides of the Atlantic include the Grand Ole Opry, the Ryman Auditorium, The Riverboat Coffee House and American International.
Now they are performing in Caia Park, on stage at Kingsley Circle Community Centre on Friday 30th July 2010. The show starts at 6.00pm and tickets, which cost £4 or £3.50 for concessions, can be obtained by telephoning 01978 365355 or 01978 262968. A licensed bar and refreshments will be available on the night. Everyone is welcome to come along and join in the fun!
This show is sponsored by the Art Council of Wales Big Night Out scheme and Wrexham County Borough Council.
