UPPER GWYNEDDÂ â The two newest members of the Upper Gwynedd Police Department are currently in training, but already online.Â
Police Officer Matt Toro recently gave the board a preview of the department s next two officers, both of the four-legged variety. There are many different ways to get a police dog. It wasn t as simple as just going to one vendor, Toro said.

Late in 2019 the department decided to proceed with establishing a police canine unit, Toro said, and he and fellow officer Ed Tartar have done extensive research since then on where and how to find their future partners. Their selection was the University of Pennsylvania s PennVet Center, Toro told the board, and he and Tartar have chosen two dogs, a Belgian Malinois named Fury and a Dutch Shephard named Gunner, who are currently being trained for bomb and drug detection.

A scheme to help low-income households avoid paying too much for their energy bills is being launched by Virgin Money, which has said it wants to ensure none of its customers are paying a “poverty premium” within 10 years.
Utilities and other services typically cost more for customers who do not pay by direct debit or shop around and move to the cheapest deals.
Research suggests that the average low-income household pays an extra £490 a year for essential services, and that the poorest families are being charged at least £780 more than if they could access the best deals.

I am hoping that some of your readers can help pinpoint some details about the attached photograph. My late mother (nee Lilian Frances Cooper) was from Oban and she always maintained that one of the people in the photograph was a relation – either my great or great-great grandfather.
The picture, we believe, was taken at the top of Ben Nevis at the time of the building of the observatory, which would place it in the c. 1870s, but this may be incorrect and the family are open to any corrections or details that may be forthcoming.
