A FORMER Rhyl plumber has received a top Second World war military honour from the Russians.

Grandfather Harry Ratcliffe, who celebrates his 91st birthday next week, received the Ushakov Medal, presented on behalf of President Putin, from the Russian Ambassador Alexander Yakovenko at the Russian Embassy in London. The medal marks his service in the Arctic Convoys which kept Russia supplied throughout the Second World War.

In addition to keeping Russia supplied and able to continue fighting Germany alongside Britain and America, the convoys helped to win the war by tying up a substantial part of Germanys navy and air force.

Mr Ratcliffe, who lives in Burns Drive, was a Royal Navy rating on HMS Opportune, which made 10 voyages as part of the 17th Destroyer Flotilla.

He said: It was a marvellous day. The Russians made us feel so honoured. It has been a long time since those cold, dark days of the Arctic Convoys but the memories came rushing back as I received this wonderful medal, with my daughter Mary and granddaughter Kate. It really was a day to remember.

"It was a wonderful occasion and a very moving ceremony, said Mary Morrison

I was thrilled that my dad had - after all these years finally got the recognition he deserved for his war time service. The Russian embassy officials were so grateful to these men for all they had done."

Son-in-law Colin Morrison added: He was overwhelmed by the whole thing. He felt it was long overdue recognition.

He was amazed at these Russian officers were falling over themselves to express their grattitude to himself and others.

The ceremony followed a campaign by Vale of Clwyd MP Chris Ruane who had protested about the long-time opposition of the British Government to the Russian plans to honour the servicemen.

TODAYS workforce is tough enough for young people just starting out, but for Tamworth TAFE student Jarrod Shackleton, theres another hurdle he has to clear on a daily basis.

Jarrod is hearing-impaired, which presents a few more challenges than usual in the completion of his plumbing apprenticeship not that hes complaining.

I love the hard work, which is a challenge, I love that the job can be different each day, at a different location, and I also enjoy meeting different people, he said.

Hes proving himself a talent in his trade, too, recently being named among just 25 apprentice plumbers nationwide to secure a $1000 grant from Rheem.

Jarrod, who lives and works in Denman and makes a 370km round trip to Tamworth for TAFEevery few months, says receiving instructions from his employer is probably his biggest on-the-job challenge.

I receive a lot of hand signals and I lip-read, but its more watching and having a hands-on approach to everything, he said.

When I work under or on top of a house, I have an FM system which deaf people use.

Pest control company Orkin released a list on Monday of what it termed the top 20 rattiest cities the cities where the company performed the most rodent treatments in 2013.

The Washington region came in third place, behind only Chicago and Los Angeles. (See Orkins complete list at the bottom of this post.)

Rikin S. Mehta, a senior deputy director of the citys Department of Health, told the Post earlier this fall that Washington has one of the most comprehensive rodent-control programs in the country, geared toward understanding patterns of rodent behavior, not just exterminating animals when they pop up.

Mehta said that the city has a team of 14 rodent control specialists who are dispatched within two days every time a 3-1-1 call comes in about a rat sighting in a public place or a business. Residents can also report rat sightings to the Department of Health, and see where their neighbors have spotted rodents, by using the Posts rat tracker.

Over the summer, Mehtas branch of the Department of Healthconducted a rat summit in each ward to ask residents about where they spot the creatures. The results will be published by spring.

Mehta and Gerard Brown, the program manager for the rodent and vector control division, offered some tips for avoiding rats at home: Put trash in a can, not just a plastic bag, and always keep the lid closed. Put away dog food as soon as you finish feeding your pet, and clean up dog waste right away. Keep the grass in your yard short.

Starve the rats, Mehta said. Pesticides are not enough. You really need to cut them at the food source.

Brown agreed, Sanitation is pest control. Eliminate the food, and we can eliminate the rats. We have to change human behavior to do that.

Maybe our competitive spirit will help us with that task. After all, we cant let New Yorkers think theyre better.

The complete list from Orkin: 1. Chicago 2. Los Angeles 3. Washington, D.C.-Hagerstown 4. New York 5. San Francisco-Oakland-San Jose 6. Seattle-Tacoma 7. Detroit 8. Cleveland-Akron-Canton 9. Baltimore 10. Miami-Fort Lauderdale 11. Dallas-Fort Worth 12. Denver 13. Houston 14. Atlanta 15. Boston-Manchester 16. Minneapolis-St. Paul 17. Sacramento-Stockton-Modesto 18. Syracuse 19. Indianapolis 20. Charlotte
