YN Yr Herald Cymraeg, Rhagfyr 20, gwelais bwt ar feddyg esgyrn yn 1913, ac yr ydych yn gofyn am unrhyw un sy’n ei gofio. Tybed mai at fy hen ewythr (brawd fy nain) y cyfeirir ato sef Richard Evans y meddyg esgyrn o Bwllheli (isod).
Yr oedd yn un o ddisgynyddion teulu enwog Meddygon Esgyrn Môn ac yn ddisgynnydd i Evan Thomas y meddyg esgyrn adnabyddus o Great Crosshall Street, Lerpwl. Magwyd Richard Evans yn Nhy’n Bengan, Penygroes ond gadawodd y cartref yn ifanc i fynd i weini’n Llanfaethlu, Sir Fôn. Darganfu’n ifanc bod ganddo’r ddawn i drin esgyrn pan yn ymweld â’i daid a’i ewythredd yn Llanfaethlu a byddai’n cerdded milltiroedd i ymarfer y ddawn honno. Daeth yn enwog drwy Gymru a rhannau o Loegr.
Ar ôl priodi aeth Richard Evans i fyw i Bwllheli a sefydlodd feddygfa yn Adferle, Gaol Street. Roeddem ninnau’n byw yn y Stryd Fawr ar y pryd a byddwn yn mynd i Adferle gyda mam neu ’nhad pan yn blentyn, a chofiaf mai un o’r p0ethau cyntaf fyddai fy nhad yn gorfod ei wneud ar ôl cyrraedd fyddai mynd ati i droi “Olew Gewynnau” Wncwl Richard. Roedd yn rhaid troi a chymysgu’r olew yn aml a hir cyn ei botelu. Ni wn beth oedd y rysait (mae’n gyfrinach sydd wedi cael ei phasio i rai aelodau o’r teulu) ond gwn ei fod wedi helpu llawer i berson oedd wedi troi ffêr neu â phoenau yn eu cyhyrau. |

A PWLLHELI sports club has invited the people of Dwyfor to shake off their post-Christmas blues and take up the challenge of the first indoor rowing championship in the area.
What better way to shed those extra pounds brought on by too much Christmas pud and brandy butter than to pit yourself against man and machine in search of the championship title?
Rowing is seen as an excellent exercise to improve fitness, strength and stamina – and this challenge does not involve facing the cold January sea.
Club member Catrin Jones said: “Earlier this year the leisure centre at Pwllheli bought two new rowing machines.
“Our plan is to use these state-of-the-art equipment for the championship.”
The competition will be held over two months – starting at the leisure centre on Thursday, January 18, and held fortnightly until Thursday, March 15, between 7.30 and 10pm.
Anyone who lives in Dwyfor is welcome to try their hand at the sport and be in with a chance of being crowned the first indoor rowing champion for the area, and win £10 for coming top of the class. |

PLANNING applications can be turned down on the basis of the effect of a development on the language and culture of Gwynedd, if a proposal is given the green light on thursday 11th.
Gwynedd Council’s environment committee will decide if a year-long pilot scheme will be given the go ahead, which could have a radical effect on our communities and the local economy.
Supporters say that the proposed scheme is common sense and will protect the Welsh way of life from over-development and help ensure house prices stay within reach of local young people.
But others have voiced concerns that it is more red tape to strangle progress and economic regeneration.
According to council documents, language impact assessments will be required on residential, commercial, industrial or tourism development, or those which may lead to the loss of community facilities or job opportunities.
