A devastated business owner who was hit hard by Storm Eunice calls on local dog lovers to help rebuild his business after it destroys everything he has. Liam McArthur is the owner of LM-K9 and works with dogs that have severe behavioral issues, and is often used as a last resort for aggressive animals.

Mr. McArthur is a fully qualified dog trainer and behaviorist and started his business with the goal of helping as many people as possible build better bonds and relationships with their dogs.

The marquee that served as a safe space for the dogs and their owners to train in all weathers is now just a setting, with the equipment once inside scattered in the surrounding fields.

A YOUNG woman from Ascot looks forward to a brighter future after being buoyed up by her devastating cancer diagnosis. Athena Jamaranian, 19, who has been diagnosed with pilocytic astrocytoma, a type of brain tumour, is getting back into the water this summer with a sailing trip from Largs in the west of Scotland with other youngsters who faced similar battles.

She will join 600 young people living through and beyond their cancer diagnosis, following her first sail in 2019 with the Ellen MacArthur Cancer Trust. Athena says sailing with the charity creates “a sense of relief” as it gives her the opportunity to meet and talk to people who have gone through the same challenges.

She said: “Having met people who understand what you’ve been through, you can talk about things you haven’t been able to do with other people. They know exactly how you feel.

Wokingham News

THE owner of a fish & chip shop destroyed by a car accident says the collision could have been fatal if it had happened on any other day.

A car slammed into the window of Station Fish Bar on February 12, destroying the glass and damaging the interior. Owner Cindy Zhang said the accident could have been much worse, but the building is now at risk of collapse.

“It’s a big headache now. The car pulled out of the pub car park across the road and crashed into our store,” she said. “It was a Sunday so we were closed, but they entered the pillar so if we had been open the customers would have died, and all the staff.”

Also in the log:

• Get cars out of town: More bollards, a lower speed limit, fewer cars – these are some of the options being discussed after a fourth car crashed into a store in downtown Wokingham in as many months.
