Lest we forget

● European Crisis Redcar Territorials Leaving ▲

came across this unique picture the other day; forgive the quality, but it chimes well with another picture I sent off to Coastal View in August 2014, and which showed fresh-faced young army volunteers getting equipment on to horse-drawn carts ready to be shipped to Redcar train station en route for France. Today's picture is one of a victory parade taken in Loftus and taken in the hours or days following the signing of the Armistice on Monday, the November 11th 1918. A scan of the local press in that week did not record this parade, and indeed nothing was found relating to East Cleveland at all, but it was clear that these processions did happen everywhere and were near spontaneous. What was reported was that shops were sold out of sheets, church peels were rung from bell tower to bell tower and that services in churches

of all denominations were hurriedly organised. Town bands such as the Redcar Town Band led the procession there, and I imagine in East Cleveland, the hands of the various Miners Lodges were pressed into service. But amidst the joy, there was also sadness for those who had left home and would now, never return. So this year's Remembrance Day will be an important one, marking the centenary of what sadly mistakenly - was seen as the "War to End All Wars". Disability permitting, I hope to be at the North Skelton cenotaph, and that many hundreds of other local men women and children will be at memorials in towns and villages across the circulation area of Coastal View. So if you care for our armed forces, be there and share on that Sunday. (Councillor) David Walsh

Coastal View & Moor News Issue 94 October - November 2018

Welcome to Coastal View & Moor News Issue 94

ell, it's now four weeks since we last wrote here and October is almost over, no sooner that it began, or it seemed that way anyway! If you get the paper in time don't forget the clocks change the last weekend of the month. They go back, meaning we have an extra hour in bed, that's if your body clock will let you, the mornings are lighter, for a while anyway and it gets darker earlier at night! Phew, that's a lot to take in, so why do we bother? We only have one more newspaper after this before Christmas, so if you would like to send Christmas wishes to family, friends or customers, you can do so by putting a Christmas Greeting in the next paper. Turn to page 35 for all the details. Following our last front page in the September issue regarding the allocation of money to industrial estates in the Borough, if you turn to page 6 you can read about a meeting that took place with Peter Collinson plus officers and councillors of Redcar & Cleveland Borough Council. Also if you turn to our readers letters on page 42 you will see what two business owners on the Longbeck Industrial Estate feel about the situation. There are some amazing events coming up in the next couple of weeks in our area, with eight pages in this issue

mentioning just some of them. The Klondike is coming again in 2019 to East Cleveland with details on page 48 and there are many more events for you to support coming up. This year we celebrate the 100 years anniversary of the end of World War 1, the 'War to end all wars'. If you turn to page 35, you will find a list of times for Remembrance Services together with details of wreath laying throughout Redcar and East Cleveland. There is to be a very special event taking place on Redcar Beach on Remembrance Sunday. Redcar has been selected for this very unique happening and full details are on pages 15 and 46! We recently met up with our 'old' friend Charlie Bell, together with Nick Lough from the Middlesbrough Football Club Foundation. We learned of the great work they are doing all over the region but were told of the activities that take place in East Cleveland. We have agreed to work in partnership with them, to spread the word in our area and to help recruit more coaches to extend what they already do throughout our local communities. Turn to the back page to find out more. It's only a couple of weeks away to our Award's Evening! This is a great night where

more than 100 people pack into Freebrough Academy to hear about the unsung heroes in our communities. On this inspirational evening, we get the chance to recognise the achievements of local individuals and community groups as well as bringing together people from all over the borough, to celebrate and acknowledge the amazing things that happen within our area. It's also a chance for us to raise money for our chosen charity, The Junction Foundation, Young carers. This money is raised through sponsorship of the awards, donations, proceeds from the bar and raffles and auctions. We raised ÂŁ3000 last year so this time we are hoping to do as well as that or even better. If you could help by donating a prize for the raffle, this would be much appreciated. We had a few days away after we completed the last paper. We went to our favourite local place, Crimdon Dene to stay in a beautiful caravan there owned by Jackie and Tom. This caravan is highly recommended by ourselves, so if you fancy a break away, turn to page 5 for more details. That's it for this time. We hope you enjoy reading this issue.

Barrage of questions hits police chief at Saltburn

Redcar MP calls for Universal Credit rollout to be stopped

abour MP for Redcar, Anna Turley, has called for an end to the rollout of Universal Credit in Parliament, warning that families on Teesside will lose thousands of pounds. The government's flagship welfare reform, Universal Credit, is being rolled out in Redcar & Cleveland at the end of November. The reform is designed to simplify the welfare system by merging several benefits in to one single payment. This includes Housing Benefit; Child Tax Credit; Income Support; Working Tax Credit; Income-based Jobseeker’s Allowance; Income-related Employment and Support Allowance. In Parliament Anna called on the government to stop the rollout before 10,800 people in Redcar & Cleveland are affected. Across the Tees Valley, an estimated 64,962 will be affected when the benefit has been fully rolled out. On Wednesday 17th October, Labour held a debate on Universal Credit in the House of Commons to challenge the government on the rollout which has proven to be a total disaster in the areas it has been rolled out in. Ministers have combined the reform with large cuts and there have been huge administration problems. This year an estimated 270,000 people have had to deal with delayed payments. According to major food bank charity, the Trussell Trust, in areas where the rollout has already occurred there has been a 52% increase in food bank use.

The Work and Pensions Secretary, Esther McVey, has admitted that half of lone parents and about two thirds of working-age couples with children would lose the equivalent of £2,400 a year. Unhappy with the response received, Anna raised it again during an Opposition Day debate on the reform. Anna accused the Prime Minister of abandoning the concern for fighting the injustices of poverty that she had pledged to lead on. She said:“When the Prime Minister stood on the steps of Downing Street two years ago, she talked about fighting against the burning injustices of poverty. “Well, how hollow those words sound now to those people working around the clock, doing their best, struggling through life in her words, who are on or will be transitioning to universal credit. Not content with devastating lives and communities through the bedroom tax; not content with a brutal sanctions regime that demoralises and degrades, not content with a work assessment regime that tells people with degenerative diseases they are fit to work; not content with a rise in child poverty. “This government is pushing on with a reform that has been proven, PROVEN, to push people into debt and poverty since 2012.” Anna’s petition to stop Universal Credit can be found online at: https://annaforredcar.org.uk/ stop-universal-credit

barrage of questions hit Cleveland chief constable Mike Veale at a meeting at Saltburn - with East Cleveland being prominent among subjects. Speaking at the East Cleveland ECCO (community and police organisation) gathering at Saltburn community theatre on 9th October, he said - to obvious disappointment that the "Dixon of Dock Green" days were over. Laptops for every police officer to allow police to make quicker reports and so free up police to do more active work were promised. Mr Veale told the 45 people present that when he got structures and technology right PCSOs (Police Community Support Officers) would be moved more into the local communities.

Get set! Tour de Yorkshire comes to Redcar and Cleveland

● GEARING UP: Redcar & Cleveland Borough Council officers celebrate the borough being awarded the Tour de Yorkshire. PHOTO: Stuart Boulton

ne of the UK’s biggest sporting events – the Tour de Yorkshire – is coming to Redcar and Cleveland. The borough has been chosen to host a stage of the cycle race in 2020 “This is a major coup for our borough,” said Leader of the Council, Sue Jeffrey. “The last Tour de Yorkshire (TDY) attracted 2.6 million spectators and had 12.5 million TV viewers so this is a fantastic opportunity to show off our beautiful borough to the world.” The race brought an estimated £98 million into the Yorkshire economy earlier this year and a special announcement has been made that it will

come to Redcar and Cleveland in 2020. The area will host a stage of what has become a huge sporting event capable of attracting world class cycling stars. This year former World Champion, Mark Cavendish MBE, took part and the race was won by Olympic gold medallist, Belgian Greg Van Avermaet. Councillor Jeffrey said: “I have been working to bring the Tour to our area since I became Leader so it was a great moment to learn that we have been chosen for 2020. “The race will be a huge attraction and will give us a chance to showcase our borough and give our businesses a real boost. I would urge

people from across the country and beyond to book their visit now – not only will they see some of the world’s biggest cycling stars but they will also be able to experience the great places and people that make up the mighty Redcar and Cleveland.” Councillor Carl Quartermain, Cabinet Member for Culture, Tourism and Communications, said: “We are absolutely delighted to be able to host this event in Redcar and Cleveland and to show off the sheer beauty of our borough to a worldwide television audience. “It has been one of my manifesto priorities since 2015 to bring the race to the area and one

that will be excellent for our growing tourism economy. “I would like to congratulate everyone who has worked so hard over the past three years to ensure Redcar and Cleveland always remained within the conversation and in the psyche of organisers for this internationally-renowned event. “Redcar & Cleveland Borough Council has time and again capably proven itself to be competent in accommodating and attracting large vibrant events which has included the excellent Klondike bicycle race which has undoubtedly helped the decision to put us in this very strong position.”

Visitors from Troisdorf

edcar & Cleveland is twinned with Troisdorf, a town in Germany, and has been so since 1990; it has a very similar industrial background to our area, once the home of a British Steel plant and with several companies involved in the chemical industry. Year 12 students from Heinrich-Böll-Gymnasium, a school in the town, recently visited Parliament during a school trip to London and local MP Anna Turley was pleased to welcome them. Anna said: “It was great to welcome the students to our Parliament and I was pleased to be able to support this international partnership. We had a great discussion about a whole range of issues including Redcar, politics, Brexit, and tackling poverty. "The school are keen to arrange student exchanges so if any schools in our area are interested in being involved in this please get in touch. “I always enjoy welcoming our schools to Parliament so if you teach at a school in Redcar constituency and would like to bring your class please get in touch. My office can help arrange tours and put you in touch with the Education Service who have lots of resources.”

Longbeck Industrial Estate

By Peter Collinson

o follow up the article on the front page of last month's Coastal View paper, a meeting was held between the relevant parties within Redcar and Cleveland Council and myself. It was concluded that the Council do not have further funds to support Longbeck Industrial Estate but would do their best to address the problems as far as possible with the £200,000 already allocated. Along with this, they will actively seek any other funding pots that may be available in the near future.

Also inferred was that there was no direct consultation with any of the businesses on Longbeck Industrial Estate but the officers present did agree that the estate desperately needed its basic infrastructure sorting as a priority: roads, drains and lights. In light of this, a dedicated project manager has been appointed by the Council to ensure the work is carried out within the next 12 weeks. Northumbrian Water have accepted that the drains on site are their property and will be doing a full clean and camera inspection to gain a better picture of the condition the drains are currently in. It

was agreed this needs to be done before any road resurfacing work, in order not to dig the roads back up again. Finally, a steering group will be formed by local businesses in order to maximise the £200,000 spend and provide communication within all the businesses on the estate. Although the amount of spend available in comparison with Skelton and Skippers Lane Industrial Estates is disappointing, after twenty years of decline this has to be seen as a start and a positive step to improving the drastic conditions we endure every day. Here's hoping!

Loftus Community Forum CHAT Club celebrates 100 Minibus Trips L

oftus Community Forum established a CHAT Club four years ago which has now completed 100 minibus trips. To celebrate reaching this milestone the CHAT Club members travelled from Loftus in a luxury coach to O’Gradys in Redcar to enjoy lunchtime dining at the popular seaside venue. The guests included Christel and Kenneth Smith from Coble Courier in Staithes who provide the community transport minibus. The idea to create a CHAT Club to address social isolation by utilising available community transport came from Loftus Community Forum’s Secretary, John Stockwell. As well as holding meetings at local venues to decide on destinations for minibus outings, the CHAT Club was to provide opportunities for health agencies and charities to conduct ●● Loftus CHAT Club members on a recent minibus visit surveys, afford advice to members to Seaham and Dalton Park. and talk to local residents about local speakers’ are welcome to meet the members to needs.

This was achieved by self funding activities and a change of minibus provider to the Coble Courier based at Staithes. A growing membership meant there were 33 trips during 2016 to old and new destinations on interesting routes created by the two MIDAS trained volunteer drivers, John Stockwell and Ian Cornes.

Food choices and accessible facilities are important to the group. More unusual destinations or short stops en route have included the

Tees Barrage, Danby Beacon, Bowes Museum, Helmsley Walled Garden, the Yorkshire Cycle Hub at Fryup and National Railway Museum at Shildon. A natural commentary by members on the route of the minibus often highlights physical and social changes in our area thus adding to the knowledge of our heritage. Memories are voiced of previous visits to the locations during the lifetime of members, who include some ladies in their nineties. During trips remembering people and places is beneficial to the wellbeing of participants who are able to make valued contributions in their discussions of the past. Friendships are created and maintained by the regular contact of those involved. The CHAT Club meets at Luke Senior Hall and also at the Old Coop in Loftus where details can be found on the noticeboards. New members are welcome to attend CHAT Club meetings on the dates and venues displayed.

Scouts say thank you

imon Clarke, MP for Middlesbrough South and East Cleveland, has raised the importance of continued access to banking services in rural communities. As a Member of Parliament’s influential Treasury Select Committee, Simon highlighted the growing problem local bank branch closures, and the consequent lack of access to the most basic financial services for many of the most vulnerable in society. During the select committee session, Simon said: “In the last eighteen months, the last bank branch has closed in Loftus and NatWest have closed in Guisborough. I am determined we should act to maintain access to financial services in small towns and villages.” Almost 3000 bank branches have closed across the UK in the last three years alone with many rural communities having to rely solely on their local Post Office for basic overthe-counter banking services. To help ensure that local banking services are not completely lost, Simon has proposed a business rates relief for Post Office branches: Simon went on to say: “Exploring ways that

we can help rural Post Offices maintain face to face financial services in our communities is an issue which makes a real difference to local people. "If the Post Office in Loftus, for example, is forced to closed because it is no longer financially viable, then many local residents will be deprived of local financial services altogether. Giving Post Offices a relief on business rates will go a long way in ensuring they remain operational.” This proposal received support from Sian Williams from Toynbee Hall, who is working with the select committee to explore barriers to accessing financial services: “There is a real need to have a visible presence of good finance, otherwise bad finance comes in to fill the vacuum,” said Sian “so yes, I would definitely say let’s rethink how we use public tools to create public good”. Simon was pleased with the constructive session: “I look forward to continuing to work with my select committee colleagues on this issue and gathering support to tackle what is an ever-increasing problem in our society.”

Redcar Cadets lead the way in #OperationGreenFingers

R Council Children’s Services and borough’s schools praised

igh performing primary schools and the council’s Children’s Services have been praised by the Council’s Cabinet member for Children. However, Councillor Craig Hannaway also identified areas that need to improve in his annual report to the Borough Council last week and called for more Government funding, “with the greatest urgency.” Major successes celebrated by Cllr Hannaway in his address to all councilors at Redcar & Cleveland Leisure and Community Heart included the borough’s primary school SATs results. Of the 15 highest-scoring Local Authorities, 14 are in London and the only other one is Redcar & Cleveland at number five. Other achievements outlined by Cllr Hannaway included having the UK’s National Social Worker of the Year, Louise Walker, as the Council’s Header of Social Work; a successful foster-care recruitment campaign and a positive inspection report for the Council’s health visitor and school nurses team. Cllr Hannaway also welcomed the merger of Redcar and Cleveland College with Stockton Riverside College to ensure the future of college education in our area. However, Cllr Hannaway also identified areas that need improvement. He said that while some secondary schools improved their results, there was too much variation in performance. He added that he was concerned about the number of pupil exclusions in some secondary schools and academies. Cllr Hannaway also argued that there should be more Government funding to help the Council

support vulnerable children. He said: “As the President of the Association of Directors of Children’s Services says, ‘We simply can’t go on as we are.’ Along with the National Children’s Bureau, the Children’s Commissioner, Barnardo’s, the NSPCC and many other bodies, I call on the Government to take immediate action in the next Spending Review to support our most vulnerable children.” After praising the “hardworking and courageous” staff from across the Children and Families Directorate, he went on to praise our borough’s children and young people themselves. He said: “As ever, one of the most interesting and enjoyable aspects of my role as Lead Member has been meeting many wonderful children and young people who never cease to amaze me with their resilience, aspirations and achievements. I have also helped to strengthen our partnerships with the charities, agencies, and groups which work alongside us, including in the recently launched Children and Young People’s Partnership Board and other strategic partnerships.”

edcar Police Cadets have put their gardening skills to the test over a four week period as part of Operation Green Fingers to tackle isolation and loneliness and increase social cohesion in rural areas. Twenty cadets teamed with Tees Valley Rural Community Council, Redcar Council, Marske in Bloom, Longbeck Nurseries, RJ Fabrications to rejuvenate part of Valley Gardens in Marske. The project took part during August and September culminating with an open day which occurred on Saturday 15th September. Youth Focus, Clucking Pig, Marske Butchers, The Wynd Café and a local businessman, Keith Rutherford (owner of a local waste management company) and his team also contributed towards the open day. As a team, everyone collectively removed plants from a section of Valley Gardens to turn the space into a ‘by the sea’ themed area for everyone in the local community to enjoy.

Redcar Cadet leader Neil Robinson said: “I am really proud of everyone’s joint effort. Everyone has dedicated their free time to benefit our communities and they have done such an excellent job. Members of the local community have thanked everyone involved for their hard work on post it notes which is really kind of them and also very encouraging for the cadets to read for any future projects.” Police and Crime Commissioner Barry Coppinger who funds the cadets said: “Operation Green Fingers is an excellent way to bring everyone together from all ages and backgrounds to benefit our communities and to create a space for people to come together to enjoy. “I visited the work in progress of the cadets and partner agencies and also attended the launch, and without the determination and help of Redcar Police Cadets and partner agencies, projects like this would not commence in our local areas.”

Our industrial future will be low carbon sources gas, we’re also developing new and innovative solutions like Carbon Capture and Storage. Teesside currently produces 50% of the UK’s hydrogen, and our concentration of industry along the coastline means our area is perfectly suited to be the starting place for CCS. "Finance for the project is absolutely vital for long-term industrial growth, inward investment, job creation and, of course, emissions reductions. That is why I am doing all I can to push for this ground-breaking work to start here in Teesside.” Middlesbrough South and East Cleveland MP Simon Clarke told Coastal View: “The U.K. has delivered the best economic performance and the deepest carbon emissions cuts of any

he Tees Valley Combined Authority is and always has been committed to a low carbon future for the Tees Valley, Cllr Sue Jeffrey, Leader of Redcar and Cleveland Council and Cabinet Member for Jobs and Investment at the Combined Authority has confirmed. A recent report from the United Nations has warned of catastrophic environmental breakdown if we do not move to a zero carbon economy, and the Tees Valley is committed to playing its part. And despite recent press coverage suggesting that the Combined Authority is an active supporter of shale gas extraction (fracking) in the UK, the reality is completely different. Sue said: "Currently the Tees valley is one of the highest carbon emitting areas in the UK and home to 60% of the UK’s energy intensive industries. "Our priority is not to seek out new carbon based energy sources that will contribute to climate change, but to do the opposite, whilst at the same time bringing jobs, growth and investment to Tees Valley.

"We have multiple projects already underway that will deliver this ambition." These include: •‘Building the UK’s first carbon capture and storage network. This critical piece of infrastructure will decarbonise our industry by over 90%; •‘Using the carbon capture and storage network to produce low carbon hydrogen which will be used to fuel our transport, heat our homes, power our industry; •‘Using the significant amount of heat which is generated by our industry to heat homes and businesses, reducing carbon emissions, and also reducing energy costs for the most vulnerable; •‘Using the vast resource of renewable energy which will be generated off our coast to provide low carbon power to our energy intensive industry, and use our natural assets to store energy on a large scale; and •‘Innovating, using carbon-dioxide to produce useful products, replacing the oil we use to produce chemicals with

bio-resources and generating lithium for batteries in novel ways Sue added: "This is our plan and the TVCA is working as hard to implement it. But these are big projects that bring with them big challenges and we need government to act in new and decisive ways if our ambitions are to be a reality. Looking for quick fixes is not the way forward. "Everyone should now get fully behind the Combined Authority Strategic Economic Plan and stand with us and fight for our low carbon future." Tees Valley Mayor and Chairman of the Tees Valley Combined Authority, Ben Houchen said: “I am committed to building a high-wage, high-growth, low carbon economy. I am pleased to say that supporting companies like SABIC who import and process shale gas is now a priority for the Combined Authority I lead. This is good for jobs, growth and our local economy. “While we support utilising indigenously

G7 country over the last 25 years. This is something we should all be proud of and I am delighted the Tees Valley Combined Authority, led by our Mayor Ben Houchen, is working so hard to make the most of the opportunities this presents locally. “In September I coordinated a letter to the PM signed by over 130 MPs from all parties expressing our support for the U.K. moving to a carbonneutral economy by 2050. To get there, we will need to develop new technologies like carbon capture and storage which have the potential to deliver thousands of jobs on Teesside. Those conversations are proceeding at the heart of Government and I hope there will be good news soon.”

You cannot be Sirius!

●● Cllr Steve Kay at the new Sirius fence in Swindale Lane, near Moorsholm By Councillor Steve Kay

high fence, about 240 yards in length, appeared, recently, along the verge of Swindale Lane, near Moorsholm. The fence separates the woodland, next to the Sirius Minerals site, from the narrow carriageway. Swindale Lane is a minor road, linking Moorsholm with the A171, Moor Road, at Lockwood Beck. Sirius is sinking an intermediate shaft at Lockwood Beck to help construct and service the 23 mile long tunnel, destined to convey the super-fertiliser, polyhalite (POLY4), from the company’s Woodsmith Mine, near Whitby, to the Wilton site, for processing; and then on to the Tees for export. It is forecast that, once production commences, the mine will create hundreds of jobs for our area. To date, the £3.5bn project is moving ahead as planned. The company aims to start production by the end of 2021, and eventually increase it to 20m tonnes per annum. Normally, Sirius lets us know its plans, in advance. But, the high fence, topped with barbed wire, came as a bit of a shock to Moorsholm residents, some of whom use Swindale Lane as a shortcut to and from the Moor Road. It was rumoured that Sirius had bought the wood and intended using the land

to increase its project area. But, Matt Parsons, Sirius’s External Affairs Manager was able to reassure me, saying: “We do not own the land…. the fence is a security measure that has been put up with the agreement of the landowner. We have no intention of increasing our development footprint. Everything we have done is in accordance with planning permission.” I have to admit that, in the past, there has been trespass into the wood, as well as fly-tipping, so Sirius’s security concerns are not without foundation. And, I am pleased to say, Sirius has had the good sense to accommodate a wellused unofficial passing place on the Lane. It should also be noted that there are no public rights of way, other than Swindale Lane, in the vicinity. In my opinion, although the wood should be managed, it should never be felled. • In an age of global warming we need to preserve and expand our woodlands. • The wood enhances the local landscape and is a habitat for wildlife. • The wood will continue to screen the Sirius site on its eastern side. The moral of this story is that people, industry and nature seriously CAN live together to their mutual benefit.

Redcar Beach to be part of Danny Boyle’s Armistice Day commission ●●PAGES OF THE SEA … Images of First World War casualties will be washed away by the sea

edcar Beach will host part of Pages of the Sea, Danny Boyle’s commission for 14-18 NOW to mark the centenary of Armistice Day. On 11 November 2018, the public is invited to gather on beaches across the UK for an informal, nationwide gesture of remembrance for the men and women who left their home shores during the First World War. One of the events will be held at Redcar Beach on Sunday 11 November. Each event centres on the drawing of a large-scale portrait of a casualty from the First World War, designed by sand artists Sand In Your Eye, which will be washed away as the tide comes in. In addition, the public will be asked to join in by creating silhouettes of people in the sand, remembering the millions of lives lost or changed forever by the conflict. Millions of people served in the First World War and the commission reflects the fact that many left by sea. Poet Carol Ann Duffy has been invited by Boyle to write a new poem, which will be read by individuals, families and communities as they gather on beaches on 11 November. Copies of the poem will be available online and at the beaches around the UK for those who wish to come together or to offer their own personal contribution. Danny Boyle said: "Beaches are truly public spaces, where nobody rules other than the tide. They seem the perfect place to gather and say a final goodbye and thank you to those whose lives were taken or forever changed by the First World War. I'm inviting people to watch as the faces of the fallen are etched in the sand, and for communities to come together to remember the sacrifices that were made." The public is also invited to explore an online gallery of portraits of some of the men and women who served in the First World War, and select someone to say thanks and say a personal goodbye to either via social media or as they gather in person on beaches on 11 November. The images are drawn from the Imperial War Museum’s ‘Lives of the First World War’ which aims to tell 8 million stories of those who served from Britain and the Commonwealth. Visitors to the website can also add portraits of members of their family or community who contributed to the First World War. Councillor Carl Quartermain, Cabinet Member for Culture, Tourism and Communications at Redcar & Cleveland Borough Council, said:

“We are honoured that Redcar has been chosen as a venue for what is a nationally important commemoration. We have never forgotten and never will forget those who gave everything in the First World War and this moving project says so much about their sacrifice. We are delighted to be able to part of something so brilliantly conceived and I have no doubt at all that it will receive huge support across the area.” The Redcar Beach event is being planned and organised by Sunderland Culture, a new arts organisation established on Wearside last year. Keith Merrin, Chief Executive of Sunderland Culture, said: “We’re thrilled to have the opportunity to deliver this event with friends and colleagues from Teesside on one of the most beautiful beaches in the north east. I hope the people of Redcar and the wider Teesside area will support Pages of the Sea which will be a moving and memorable tribute to those who laid down their lives in the First World War. We’ll be unveiling more details of the event and how people can get involved in the project over the coming days and weeks.” Jenny Waldman, Director of 14-18 NOW, said: "Danny Boyle has created a beautiful, poetic artwork that invites people across the UK to participate in a new nationwide gesture of remembrance on the centenary of Armistice Day. It is a fitting thank you and farewell to all of those who served and were affected by the First World War. I would like to thank Danny Boyle, Carol Ann Duffy and all our partners and funders for their help in realising this ambitious project." The work is commissioned and produced by 14-18 NOW, the UK’s arts programme for the First World War centenary, and delivered with partner organisations across the UK: National Trust; Activate Performing Arts; Creative Foundation; Eden Project; National Theatre Scotland; Nerve Centre; Swansea City Council and Sunderland Culture. Supported by The National Lottery and the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport. With additional support from Backstage Trust, Bloomberg Philanthropies, Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation (UK Branch) and National Rail.

Ambulance service promotes £6.5m investment for 100 more staff Remembrance 100 on its vehicles in North East Ambulance Service

ore than £6.5 million will be invested in the North East Ambulance Service over the next four years to recruit 100 more staff to meet new national response time standards and improve services to patients. An additional £9 million worth of efficiencies and productivity savings have also been agreed with support from the regional health system to improve response times set by the Department of Health and Social Care in late 2017. Alan Foster, lead for the integrated care system in the North East NHS said: “This new money will be invested in more staff and new vehicles to meet the new response time standards across the region.” Mr Foster is leading plans for integrating care and developing partnerships across the region that will ensure that the performance of the ambulance service supports the whole health system across the North East. He added: “The ambulance service can be likened to being the arteries of the health system that joins together all of the different parts of our regional health economy. This investment into the ambulance service will ensure that they will be able to meet the

vision for the NHS set out in its five-year strategy.” The increased investment and efficiencies achieved will not only support the recruitment of around 50 paramedics and a further 50 emergency care assistants, but will also see an increase in the number of double-crewed ambulances, some of which will replace some non-paramedic emergency vehicles and some rapid response cars. The recruitment and training of extra staff and new vehicles will mean that the performance against the national response standards will improve as the extra staff join the frontline after recruitment and training. Yvonne Ormston, chief executive of North East Ambulance Service, said: “We are consistently meeting our response times to the highest priority of patients in a potentially life-threatened condition. “However, for those patients who do not have an immediate need for an ambulance, some of them are waiting too long. This is because ambulance demand has increased by more than a third in the last 10 years and matching our workforce to this demand will allow us to provide a better service to patients by increasing levels of cover at peak demand times and reducing cover over quieter periods.”

Westie "warning" in Laurel Road

●● Stephen Cooper, 10, with sisters Litenya, nine, and Anaya, seven, returning from a walk with dogs including Jock the Westie.

By Mike Morrissey

oon after moving to Laurel Road, Saltburn, from a nearby property, a family has put up an amusing notice outside their house; It reads: "Beware! Westie lives here." The owner said Jock, the West Highland terrier,

does bark but nothing more. "He is saying `come in and I'll kill you or come in and put the kettle on!'" The owner said grandchildren Stephen Cooper, 10, Litenya, nine, and Anaya, seven, regularly took the pet for a walk.

orth East Ambulance Service is marking the centenary of the end of the First World War with the images of poppies on some of its vehicles to say its very own thank you to all who served and sacrificed their lives in the Great War. North East Ambulance Service NHS Foundation Trust (NEAS) covers 3,200 square miles across the North East region. It employs more than 2,600 staff and serves a population of 2.7 million people by handling all NHS111 and 999 calls for the region, operating patient transport and ambulance response services, delivering training for communities and commercial audiences and providing medical support cover at events. The service’s full fleet covers on average 14 million miles each year and an average emergency ambulance will cover between 55,000 and 75,000 miles a year. Assistant director of communications and engagement at the NHS Foundation Trust, Mark Cotton explains: “This war is said to have touched the lives of families in every village and town in the country and its impact is still being felt today. “The occasion of its centenary means a lot

to people and we felt that it was appropriate to mark this occasion on some of our vehicles as an important milestone. “Feedback has already been flooding in and I our staff have said they are extremely proud to drive those vehicles.” The idea came forwards from David Parkin who works in the fleet department for the Trust and was formerly in the Royal Electrical Mechanical Engineers (REME) for 22 years, serving as a staff sergeant vehicle mechanic. He added, “With it being the 100th year anniversary, I thought it was important to show our support to the Royal British Legion and all of the service men and women and volunteers who have lost their lives through conflict. We hope that by being placed on ambulances, they should be seen by people from across our region.” The poppies will be visible for the next few weeks and the Trust is encouraging people who spot them to share their pictures by messaging the service’s Facebook page. This year NEAS representatives will also take part Remembrance events across the region, including the Festival of Remembrance at Durham Cathedral and following parade.

Early Help Service team hopes to beat record year for Duke of EdinburghAwards after investment – with case study

uke of Edinburgh (DofE) Photo: Stuart Boulton organisers from Redcar and Cleveland Youth Services are hoping to beat a record year after using £10,000 Big Lottery funding to invest on improvements.

The first time Alice Hutchinson walked into the Duke of Edinburgh youth centre in Guisborough she didn’t say a word, avoided all eye contact… and hurried out the second she could. It got worse from there. It took the anxiety-stricken youngster a full month to come a second time to her Duke of Edinburgh (DofE) gathering. Even then, she only did so because a trained, professional youth worker

came with her. “It was quite bad,” says Alice, with understatement, “but I knew that the people were nice. They let you be yourself. Elaine was really nice.” Elaine Buckby, our borough’s DofE Awards and Activity Co-ordinator, is sitting with Alice at Guisborough Youth Centre. She breaks into a smile. “I’m looking at a different person,” she says, simply. The story of Alice’s transformation starts to emerge. Aged 16 she slowly began to participate and open up. After about a year, came a three-day trek in a tent. “It was three nights with no telly, no phone, some nice friends,” says Alice. “It was so chilled. A thought came in my head; ‘if I don’t have to stress about things now, why do I in my normal life?’” Alice, from Redcar, explains that with confidence she learned to ask for help. Eventually, as a DofE gold standards winner, she got to take her mum to Buckingham Palace to meet Frank Skinner and Princess Anne. Today that anxious girl, now an 18-year-old woman, is studying Physical and Outdoor Education at Leeds Beckett University. Her ambition is to become a PE teacher so she can inspire other young people. Elaine glances at her young DoFE winner again. “Every time I think of Alice I just can’t stop grinning,” she beams. Alice, more shyly, returns the smile.

Kinship carers deserve more recognition and better support T he second week of October was Kinship Care Week, an opportunity to celebrate the work of these amazing family and friend carers and to raise awareness of the challenges they face. It is also a chance to reach out to those who are quietly caring for children without receiving any extra help and support. Labour MP for Redcar, Anna Turley, who is setting up a national cross party taskforce in Parliament to look at how the system can be improved, said: “Kinship carers are a crucial part of our care system. They take on the care of child

relatives, often grandchildren, when for many reasons they cannot stay with their parents. Their love and support keep families together, but it comes with big challenges, including emotional and financial pressures. “Earlier this year, a number of kinship carers came to my advice surgeries and sought support from my office on issues with financial support locally. This is ongoing and I am in discussions with the local authority over the development of their new policy. If you are affected by this and have not yet been in touch please let me know. “Sadly, across the country, the support available

●● Audrey Jackson (right) presents cheque for £270 to Museum Secretary Jim Veitch. By Martyn Johnson - Publicity Officer

hen crafting enthusiast, Audrey Jackson, from Billingham, heard that the Zetland Lifeboat Museum had suffered a break-in, in which three collecting boxes were stolen, she was determined to help the Museum to make good the loss. Audrey had visited the Museum in earlier years and had fond memories of the little antique collecting box which launched a toy lifeboat when a coin was inserted. While two of the collection boxes were recovered, empty and damaged, the little lifeboat box is, sadly, still missing. Audrey made nine soft toys, including the rabbit (pictured), and organised a raffle at the Langdon Community Centre in Coulby Newham, which raised £270 for the Museum. Audrey said: “I was very happy to make these toys to help the Zetland Museum and I am grateful for the generosity of the Langdon Community Centre’s patrons for supporting my raffle.”

Museum Secretary, Jim Veitch, said: “We are always very grateful for donations from generous friends and supporters like Audrey. The money is used towards maintaining the Museum as a free-toenter attraction, as well as ensuring that our unique lifeboat is properly conserved.” The Zetland Museum, on Redcar’s Esplanade, houses the Zetland lifeboat, the oldest surviving lifeboat in the world, built in 1802, which saved over 500 lives in her 78 year operating life. The Museum is volunteer-run and a free-to-enter attraction and, in addition to the lifeboat itself, includes a heritage centre which displays many historical items and photographs relating to Redcar and its surroundings. The Museum has had a very successful season, with over 10,000 visitors since April, some coming from as far afield as New Zealand, Canada and South Africa, but will close for the Winter after halfterm. The Museum will reopen in Spring 2019 when all the volunteers look forward to welcoming friends old and new to view Redcar’s Zetland Lifeboat.

News from Ringrose Orchard, Skelton

By Stuart White

limey, is it really four weeks since I last penned an update about Skelton’s community garden and orchard; as they say ‘time flies when you’re having fun’! In that period we have continued with general maintenance tasks ie. weeding, dead heading etc and tackling the problems created in the wildflower meadow by an excess of yarrow. However, as we now move into autumn and early winter we turn our attention to bulb planting and assessing any re-organising that we may need for next year. R&CBC have provided 375 daffodil bulbs, some of which have been planted along the Cleveland Way steps, with the rest to be spread around the main garden. I believe someone once wrote about a ‘host of golden daffodils’ That

will certainly be the case in Ringrose Orchard come the spring! Also, we have over a 100 hyacinths donated by fellow community group Skelton Villages Civic Pride, previously used in their flower tubs along the High Street. These bulbs will also be spread around the main garden. Finally, our thanks go to Roy Ritchie, from Lingdale, who makes bird boxes and has donated boxes for robins and blue tits and also to the ladies at Brotton Library’s ‘Knit & Natter’ group who have knitted colourful woollen hats to help keep us warm during the winter. This has been done through the Skills Exchange scheme administered by Denise Sharkey. If you have yet to visit the orchard, located next door to the Fire Station, then come along soon whilst there is still plenty of bright colour around. It’s open to everyone.

for kinship carers is patchy and inconsistent, there is no legally guaranteed minimum, and many are left without any help at all. This is why I am setting up a cross party parliamentary taskforce to look at how we build a system that works for kinship carers. Our aim is to raise awareness of kinship care, highlight why this option is important for children who cannot live with their parents, and to look at how kinship carers can be better supported.” If you are a kinship carer or know someone who is, there are great charities and support groups out there who can help. Family Rights Group are a national charity offering free and confidential advice and advocacy services. They work to increase the voice of children and families in services and campaign to ensure that support is available to assist grandparents and other relatives who are raising children who cannot live at home. Their freephone helpline can be reached by dialing:

08088010366. Grandparents Plus are another national charity working to support kinship carers, especially grandparents. They provide an advice and support network and support programmes to ensure kinship carers are not left on their own. Advice is available by calling 03001237015. The annual ‘state of the nation’ survey results from Grandparents Plus have also recently been released revealing some quite shocking realities. Only 14% of carers say they’re getting the support they need to bring up their child(ren), and only 11% say they are getting the emotional support they need. There are also two local support groups led by kinship carers to provide peer support with people in the same position. 1) Across the Tees (East Cleveland Kinship Care Support) Contact: Frank Harrison 01642 484412. 2)Kinship Support Group Easterside, Middlesbrough - Contact Mari at mari.dilworth@grandparentsplus.org.uk or call 07931158313

Redcar Running Festival 2018

By Peter Collinson

hat a tremendous effort by Graham Hall and the Everyone Active team in organising the 2018 Redcar Running Festival. Hosting the Beacon 5km, the Zetland 10km and the Half Marathon all in the same day; incorporating a junior fun-run which attracted hundreds of kids was great to see. It is truly inspirational to see so many people taking part and the event growing year on year - let's hope this continues onto next year! From a personal point, I cannot thank our Charity runners enough for their support, encouragement and commitment in completing their chosen distance. It is a great opportunity for our three Charities: The Mike Findley MND team, The Junction Foundation team and The Marske Hall team to raise vital awareness and much needed funds to support such good causes. Once again many thanks to all the runners, those who have sponsored and the running festival team for your continued support.

• Continue the high levels of investment into existing homes, investing £150m in the first five years to ensure they remain safe, secure places people are proud to call home • Meet the challenges of the ageing population in the north east and Yorkshire through providing a combined Independent and Supported Living service to over 8,000 vulnerable people. Both organisations have built reputations for providing high quality affordable homes within safe, secure and thriving communities. They have also developed widereaching support networks to ensure their customers have every possible opportunity to improve their lives and reach their goals. James Hayward, Chair of Shadow Board for Beyond Housing, said: “The journey for Coast & Country and Yorkshire Coast Homes started back in early 2017. Our initial exploratory conversations captured a bold vision of a new organisation which would truly go beyond what either organisation could achieve individually and make it a new housing force in the region. “Our customers sit at the heart of this and will continue to be the focus of everything we do and our name, Beyond Housing, perfectly reflects the ethos of the new organisation. Customers will not see any material change to their day to day interaction, other than they are now customers of Beyond Housing rather than the previous organisations. “I’d like to warmly welcome Rosemary as the Chief Executive. Her vision for what Beyond Housing can become and her passion for driving the business for the benefit of customers comes through strongly. She is keen to give the organisation a strong voice in the region and nationally and I believe she will lead Beyond Housing from strength to strength.” Rosemary Du Rose, Chief Executive of Beyond Housing, said: “I am very proud to be the first chief executive of Beyond Housing, an organisation which has all the elements for a very bright future. “I’m sure there will be some challenges as the two organisations integrate, but both have fantastic teams and a very similar ethos to my own of putting the customer at the heart of everything. It’s a really exciting time and I am really looking forward to the new year and the new role”.

New Marske Fundraisers do it again

By Cllr Karen King

ight New Marske lads once again donned their lycra shorts this year, in aid of a worthy cause before taking on the gruelling Coast to Coast cycling route. A few years ago, spurred on by the bravery of local girl Georgina Anderson, they raised about £3000 in her memory which they donated to The Teenage Cancer Trust; the following year the funds raised went to prostate cancer and last year all sponsorship went to The Cleveland Unit which is a Child Development Centre for children aged from birth to five years who have special educational needs and/or disabilities. Now an annual event, this year they decided to donate all of the money raised to Maxi’s Mates animal rescue and re-homing centre in Dunsdale, a local charity dedicated to helping desperate dogs, which have mainly been found as strays, find loving forever homes. Before homes are

found and whilst the dogs are in the care of Maxi’s mates, the money the lads have raised will help to ensure the dogs have plenty of good food, clean warm bedding, are exercised daily, have stimulation and the care and attention they need including any veterinary care needed and they will never euthanise ANY dog unless it is suffering and advised to do so by a vet. This year the cause was chosen by Barry Willis and Ste Moore, as everyone involved is a keen dog lover they agreed. Barry and Ste would like to thank everyone who rode with them and helped raise funds for such a worthy cause, namely Paul king, Jason Lowe, Ray Kennedy, Nathan Kennedy, Ste Young and James Davidson and of course everyone who generously sponsored them. They were delighted to be able to hand over a cheque for £2150 earlier this month which was much appreciated by the charity’s hardworking volunteers and the dogs too.

Brownies go for GOLD

Trust introduces patient centred visiting

●● Patient Brian Thomas with his sister Jean Bowley and ward staff Mary Chambers and Eliza Stroe (right)

outh Tees Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust has extended ward visiting hours to enable family and friends to see patients at any time during the day. The new patient centred approach, which launched on Monday 1 October, welcomes visitors during daytime hours - providing it is what the patient wants and needs. Patient centred visiting has been introduced following the success of open visiting for carers and will be of particular benefit to those who are travelling from further afield to access the Trust’s many specialist services. Gill Hunt, Director of Nursing said: “The Trust recognises the importance of the support of loved ones when it comes to the welfare and recovery of our patients. “With this in mind we have now introduced patient centred visiting across all of our hospital sites with flexible arrangements to suit each individual.” Visitors are asked to continue to limit numbers to two per bed at any time, to always respect the privacy of other patients, to ensure any children are supervised at all times and to wash their

hands or use alcohol gel when entering and leaving all wards and departments. Patient centred visiting applies to wards at James Cook, Friarage, The Friary, Redcar and East Cleveland hospitals with the exception of children’s wards, maternity wards, the surgical admissions unit and the post-operative day unit. For more details visit southtees.nhs.uk/patientsvisitors/information Visiting outside of daytime hours, for example when a patient is reaching the end of their life, will remain open and flexible to meet the needs of the patient and their family and staff are happy to discuss this with families. Gill added: “Relatives are asked to consider the needs and wishes of the patient, and who else may be visiting, in deciding when and for how long to attend. “There may be times during the day when visitors are asked to leave the clinical area and we welcome their support with this. “Families, carers and friends all have an important role to play. We need to work together to ensure everyone receives patient centred, safe and effective care.”

Safer crossing in Saltburn

ouncillor Philip Thomson, Leader of the Conservative Group on Redcar & Cleveland Council is pressing for a formal crossing to be installed on Windsor Road in Saltburn. "The volume of pedestrian traffic attempting to cross Windsor Road to access the Post Office and a convenience store is such that a permanent crossing is merited," Councillor Thomson has said. Over the last two years residents have complained about the unsafe situation and the

need for a formal crossing. Cllr Thomson went on to say: "In response to residents' complaints surveys have finally been undertaken. The results confirm the verbal comments of residents and the likelihood of the construction of a crossing is now very strong indeed. "If the crossing does go ahead it would be next year before it would be built, but that is worth waiting for and will give hope to the community that this hazardous section of highway will soon be made safe for pedestrians.".

he girls at 1st Loftus Rainbows, Brownies, Guides and Rangers have really hit the ground running with the exciting new programme from Girlguiding! Isobel was so keen that she got her new badge book and set about earning the badges she needed to reach the Gold award. This is the highest award for Brownies, and shows that a Brownie has shown continual commitment and dedication, earning badges from a wide range of programme areas. She has danced, baked, learnt about local history as well as taking on a wide range of opportunities over the past nearly three years of Brownies. Isobel is now looking forward to new opportunities in Guides once she has turned 10, including signing up for an international camp in Amsterdam next summer! We are sure she will have inspired a number of other girls to take on the challenge and go for GOLD! The award was presented by Cllr Barry Hunt, the Mayor of Loftus, who spoke to the Brownies about his charity fundraising leading up to

Remembrance Sunday. As well as presenting the Gold Award he presented many of the new skills builders awards, and even a languages badge to a girl who had independently learnt Spanish! The girls were able to reflect on their own actions within in the community, The unit does have spaces for girls to join, and there are number of other units in the local area. Parents can find out about units via the main girlguiding website www.girlguiding.org.uk

Green Lane improvements

By Joyce White

e had a very successful Fundraising evening at the Longacre where we raised £500 toward the statue of miners. The highlight of the evening was the Irish Pig race in which a little piggie won for punter, Lesley Squealer!! Our thanks go to Matty and his team and to our sponsors, Café Creations, Ace Taxis, West Road Fish and Chips Loftus, Green & Sons Lingdale, Skelton Coop and the Longacre. Thanks also to the local businesses who gave vouchers for the raffle – Hair Expressions, Top to Toe, Airtime, Play Factory and Holey Molies. Our star prize was VIP tickets to the grand reopening of Cleveland Ironstone Mining Museum - an apt prize for this project. The statue will be sited adjacent to Cross Green, Skelton and will honour those East Clevelanders who worked the ironstone mines. We are now delighted to report that the project will be supported by East Cleveland Villages Big Local. This support means that we can now confirm the statue will be completed by early next year and we shall have a community event in the Spring when this beautiful tribute to our Ironstone Mining Heritage will be in place. So watch out for this!

Pierrot' dances for retired men

Richard Green, Andrew Pearson & Ken Bibby

ver the last few years the Green Lane Bridleway between Redcar and Marske has been cleared of litter and fly-tipped rubbish by volunteers, resulting in much visible improvement. The Redcar end approach has been tidied up with a new fence and a widened entrance and a wild flower area has also been introduced at the car park side of the entrance. Now the latest addition is an information lectern, illustrating the wide variety of wildlife and vegetation to be seen along the lane. Ken Bibby told Coastal View: “These improvements are mainly due to the hard work

of Richard Green and his volunteers, supported by Community Development Officer, Andrew Pearson. I merely assist occasionally as and when required.” Richard added: “Although improvements have undoubtedly been made I would like to see more being done in the future. We need to continue maintaining the path and draw the public`s attention to the litter problem – both along the path and in the adjoining ditch. We also need to make the public more aware of the variety of wildlife along the bridleway and we hope that the new lectern will help achieve that." In addition a new bin has been provided at the entrance which will hopefully reduce the litter problem.

Luxury Retirement and Care in the heart of the countryside

By Mike Morrissey

clown-like pierrot danced and sang for members of Saltburn and District Retired Men's Forum. He was Trevor Taylor, of Skelton, who is an expert on the entertainers, who were popular in Saltburn up until 1939. He wore a new white outfit, including a special hat, made of silk by Redcar dressmaker Allison Langley, who runs an online business called Poppies and Peacocks. "I'm chuffed about the outfit," said Trevor. Among the snippets he spoke of on 1st October were: *Black-and-white minstrels' singers put white

zinc oxide on their faces to make them white and it was very dry. *A special pierrot show was put on in 2011 to mark the 150th anniversary of Saltburn being founded. This End of the Pier show was held over several years in the 1980s at the community theatre. *Pierrots stayed in digs on the upper promenade opposite the cliff lift in a house with several steps, called Stanley House. But Trevor could find no trace of its name recently when he looked. *Well-known comedian Larry Grayson coined his catchphrase "shut that door!" after experiencing a through draught at the Redcar pier theatre because of high winds.

Cash backing for Loftus Community Hub

imon Clarke MP has said he is delighted that a Loftus community centre has received a major donation from the North East’s social mobility foundation, that will enable it to continue providing training and support to people in Redcar and Cleveland – as well as the vital services of a credit union. The Old Co Op Building in Loftus acts as a community hub and social meeting place for all members of the community. It is also home to the South Bank Savings and Credit Union Limited, providing advice to local people on financial issues. The community hub provides a range of services, from welfare rights advice, CAB drop-ins and job search help to a wide range of adult classes including dress making and painting as well as decorating and computer classes. There are also volunteering opportunities for anyone in the community looking to enhance their skills and experience. The £5,000 donation comes from the Harrison Centre for Social Mobility, set up last year to provide advice and financial support to charities that are helping people, particularly from disadvantaged backgrounds, to learn new skills. The Harrison Centre was founded by north east entrepreneur, David Harrison, who grew up in County Durham and now runs one of Europe’s fastest growing financial technology businesses, True Potential. The grant for Loftus Community Hub will enable it meet running costs and install a new heating system. It also means that over the last 12 months, more than £120,000 has been donated by the Harrison Centre to support North East charities that are working to improve social mobility. David Harrison said: “Social mobility

covers a range of issues that amount to people being able to reach their full potential. I always wanted the Harrison Centre to find some of the unsung heroes in the North East, who do important work by helping local people find new skills, get into work and improve communities. The Loftus Community Hub is a vital resource and one that we are very pleased to support.” Loftus Community Hub manager, Tony Gatehouse, said: “In the nine years that I have managed this community charity building, I have never had an organisation come to me and tell me they’ve heard about our work and would like to help fund it. It is just pure, tangible support that will

I am grateful to David, the Harrison Centre for Social Mobility and to Simon Clarke MP for recognising what we are doing and backing us.” Middlesbrough South and East Cleveland MP, Simon Clarke, added: “I invited Lord John Bird, the founder of the Big Issue, to Loftus this summer to hear about the vital work of the Old Coop Building and the South Bank Credit Union. He spoke to his friend David Harrison and I’m delighted that the outcome is this hugely generous donation, supporting one of the very best social enterprises in East Cleveland. Tony Gatehouse and his team do amazing work and this will enable that to continue.”

An evening to remember the fallen of Coatham 1914-1918 A

By Julie Chapman (On behalf of the Heritage Group at Christ Church, Coatham)

s we know, 11th November 2018 will mark 100 years since the Armistice which brought to an end almost four and a half years of war. We cannot begin to understand what the men went through who served in France, Belgium or beyond – or what their families went through back home, hoping and praying that they would return. But we know that many didn’t return – over 900,000 from Britain and the Empire alone; and a staggering eight and a half million in total. We cannot comprehend death on such a massive scale, and so we have been researching the stories of one small community – Coatham. On Friday 9th November we are hosting “An evening to remember the fallen of Coatham 19141918”. But the stories we have found were mirrored in every community around Britain, and so we are telling something of the whole story through the story of Coatham. We have found stories of brothers who died; children who were born after their father had died; cousins who died one month apart; a man who died just 5 days before the Armistice was signed in 1918, together with a 15-year-old who lost his life just 7 weeks

into the war in 1914; a boy who was just 2 when his father died - who was himself then killed in the Second World War; men who died in Egypt, Macedonia, Gallipoli, back at home, or at sea - as well as many in France and Belgium. We have visited the graves in Belgium and France of some of these men, and found others, whose bodies were never found, who are named on the memorials such as Thiepval and the Menin Gate On the evening of Friday 9th November we plan to tell some of their stories, as well as read some poems, and have a variety of music – some sombre, as we remember the tragic loss of life, but some less so as we sing along to some of the songs of the day which were sung as the men set out from home. There will also be an Act of Remembrance when we will read the names of the men from Coatham who died, lay a wreath, hear the ‘Last Post’, and fall silent. We are grateful to The Royal British Legion who will be joining us for the evening, and have helped us in the planning, and we hope that this will be a fitting start to a weekend of Remembrance. The event starts at 7pm at Christ Church, Coatham, and entry is free. There will be refreshments served afterwards and we hope that as many people as possible will be able to join us – not just from Coatham itself, but from the wider communities.

Loftus mayor to sleepover at 11 war memorials

Thiepval Memorial to the men who died on the Somme but have no known grave, contains the names of eight men from Coatham, including Ernest Stainton who died on 5th July 1916 – his 26th birthday. Also commemorated there is James Lindsay Coutts, who died 2 days later, on 7 July, aged 20, and who was awarded the Military Medal for Bravery

Less well known is Le Touret Memorial, France, where Privates Harry Dodsworth and William Taylor are commemorated. They were both in the 2nd Battalion, Yorkshire Regiment, and died on the same day, 15th June 1915. Harry was aged 18, and William was 29.

Bringing our towns and villages together

●● Barry Hunt, of Skinningrove, before his marathon "sleepover" at Saltburn war memorial.

By Mike Morrissey

t 70, Barry Hunt is to sleepover at 11 war memorials, starting at Saltburn's Glenside cenotaph, by Remembrance Sunday 11th November. The Mayor of Loftus, who lives at Skinningrove, is undertaking the marathon task for Forces charity SSAFA, which helps veterans to get back on to their feet. Speaking during a photocall visit

to the Glenside memorial and its new wooden bench, he said: "I'm proud to do this for all the people in our forces who have come home with mental health and homeless problems. "We must look after them as all they have done is to look after us." Councillor Hunt, a retired club licensee, recalled that his father was a bandboy with the West Yorkshire Regiment during World War Two, serving in Burma. He's raised £2,000 already and at

least hopes to match the £24,000 he raised for charity when he was Mayor of Redcar and Cleveland two years ago. Then he sleptover for two nights at Redcar town clock. He claimed he "did not really sleep" during his sleepovers on benches. Donations can be made through Loftus town council by emailing office@loftustc.co.uk or phone 01287-641000.

he eleven towns and villages where Barry Hunt will be sleeping out have got together and between them have made a quilt to help keep him warm. Margaret Whitehead, a member of the Brotton Improvement Group told Coastal View: "Brotton Improvement Group have provided the materials for the quilt with the expert advice from Jane at Stitches shop, Skelton who helped choose the quality of material and colours, black, blue and white for the red poppies to stand out and she also gave advice on the embroidery of the village names and only charged a charity rate. We

are very grateful for her help and generosity. "Each village provided 11 poppies to be sewn on and Brotton Craft Group assembled the quilt which will be used every night by Barry at each cenotaph. "As well as being a textile project this activity has helped to bring the villages together at this important time in history." The 11 towns and villages who have taken part are: Easington, Loftus, Carlin How, Skinningrove, Brotton, North Skelton, Skelton, Saltburn, Guisborough, Boosbeck and Lingdale.

Hollie Bush Writes

A whimsical look at our area

“Mrs Endeavour”

Will Mrs Endeavour return to us ?

eaders of the last edition will know that I am retelling Cook’s epic voyage of 250 years ago, not so much from the perspective of the Man from Marton, but of his ship, the Endeavour, a Whitby built, East Cleveland financed “Whitby Cat” and former North Sea collier, and celebrating the new book about her life (Endeavour, the Ship that changed the world” by Peter Moore.) We left the Endeavour and Cook after he had rounded the Horn, and when he began the Endeavour ’s long journey into the utter unknown in the immense South Pacific. As was said by Peter Moore “The journey to Tahiti was of an isolation more profound than that which the crew of Apollo 11 confronted on their mission to the moon two centuries later. “ Nonetheless, the combination of probably the world's leading navigator, and the sturdy hulls built of North Yorkshire oak, took her safely directly to Tahiti. arriving on April 13th, 1769. On July 13th, the transit of Venus having been observed under favourable conditions on June 1st, he left Tahiti, now fully mapped and charted and also exploring and mapping the Society Islands immediately to the westward, never before visited, and then stood to the southward. Cook went to 40 degrees south, discovering one of the Austral Group on his way, when, finding no sign of the hypothetical southern Continent, and getting into very dirty weather, he first gained a more northern latitude and favourable winds and then stood for New Zealand. On October 7th he arrived at Poverty Bay, and during the next six months he completely circumnavigated and mapped the islands of New Zealand. He had received on board at Tahiti a native, a man called Tupia, formerly the high priest, and a man of much intelligence. Tupia proved to be invaluable in establishing contacts with the various Maori groups they encountered - and which, linguistically, shows the interrelatedness of the people of the South Pacific islands. Cook now, after consideration, determined to explore the unknown east coast of New Holland. (today’s Australia) The health of his ship's company, and the good order on board, permitted him to make this good use of his time, instead of hurrying on to a civilised port, as all his forerunners had had to do. He struck Australia at its south-east point, and followed the whole coast to the northward, mapping it as he went. When nearing the northern end the voyage nearly came to a premature conclusion by the ship grounding on a coral reef, twenty miles from the land. Cook's seamanship was, however, equal to the occasion. The ship was got off, much damaged and leaking severely, and carried into a little port they discovered not far off. Here she was cleared out and laid upon the ground, the tide sufficing to dry enough of her bottom to let the carpenters repair it. The wisdom of Cook's choice of a ship of the build of the Endeavour was here very apparent. It was not every ship that could be safely beached in this way without danger of falling over. After a long delay, she proceeded on her voyage and soon had a second narrow escape. The long line of coral reefs that front the northern part of Eastern Australia, for a distance of 1200 miles, approach the coast about the place where the

ship had grounded. The passage between the outer reef and the land is strewn with shoals, and finding his further progress much impeded by them, and fearful of a repetition of his disaster, Cook with some difficulty found a channel to seaward, and gained the open ocean. He was, however, yet determined to follow the land he was exploring, and more especially to solve the great question as to whether Australia was joined to New Guinea or not; With the caution born of recent dangers, Cook now slowly found his way through the maze of reefs to the northern point of Australia, and was rewarded for his diligence by finding the channel now known as the Torres Strait, which led him between New Guinea and Australia Things, however, were beginning to go downhill from here. The crew were getting restive. The three months at Tahiti had whetted their appetites for land, food and drink and female company. As he was now in waters vaguely familiar to Westerners, Cook resolved to have the Endeavour harbour at the Dutch East Indies port of Batavia ((today’s Jakarta, the capital of Indonesia). Unlike their English and French colonial compatriots, the Dutch saw the benefits of open harbours free to ships of all nations, and Cook was allowed to beach Endeavour there. The prime objectives of the mission completed, the job in hand was now to complete the recordings of the voyage, the charting of the coastlines discovered (very much Cook’s day job) and repairing the Endeavour so as to make sure the knowledge gained made it to home and the Royal Society. The ship remained in very poor condition following her grounding on the Great Barrier Reef in June. The ship's carpenter, John Seetterly, observed that she was "very leaky – makes from twelve to six inches an hour, occasioned by her main keel being wounded in many places, and completely gone in others’. An inspection of the hull revealed that some unrepaired planks were cut through to within ⅛ inch (3 mm). Cook noted it was a "surprise to everyone who now saw her bottom how we had kept her above water" for the previous three-month voyage across open seas. After riding at anchor for two weeks, Endeavour was heaved out of the water on 9 November and laid on her side for repairs. Some damaged timbers were found to be infested with shipworm which required careful removal to ensure they did not spread throughout the hull. Broken timbers were replaced and the hull recaulked, scraped free of shellfish and marine flora, and repainted. Finally, the rigging and pumps were renewed and fresh stores brought aboard for the return journey to England. Repairs and replenishment were completed by Christmas Day 1770, and on Boxing Day Endeavour weighed anchor to sail westward towards the Indian Ocean and home by way of the Cape of Good Hope and Cape Town. However, contact at Batavia had also bought unwitting contact with disease, and as she made her way, way over the Indian Ocean towards the Cape, against the wet and unhealthy northwest monsoon, the Endeavour’s sick list grew larger. Man after man succumbed to dysentery, and before half the distance to Cape Town was traversed, twenty-two men were carried off. Green, the astronomer, two more of Banks' staff,

● Ships at anchor in Batavia - Cook's refuge two midshipmen, the boatswain and carpenter were among the number. The crew was more than decimated. The ship touched at the Cape, and war with France being expected, the Endeavour joined an East India convoy, under H.M.S. Portland, at St. Helena. The heavy-sailing, collier-built craft was however not, when the other ships had crossed the line and got upon a wind, able to keep up with them, and she once more found herself alone on her way. Two more officers, the First Lieutenant, Mr Hicks, and the Master, Mr.Molyneux, died after leaving the Cape before the ship finally reached Portsmouth on June 12th, 1771. Ninety-four persons left England in the Endeavour, of whom fifty-four returned. Thirtyeight died on the voyage, out of which number thirty-one died after reaching Batavia. While Cook was, rightly, fêted for his successful voyage, Endeavour was largely forgotten. But she continued to fly the flag in Navy service. Within a week of her return to England, she was towed off to Woolwich Dockyard for refitting as a naval transport. Under the command of a Lieutenant James Gordon she then made three return voyages to the Falkland Islands The first, with John Dykes as sailing master was to deliver "sufficient provisions to serve 350 men to the end of the year 1772.” She sailed from Portsmouth on the 8th November 1771, but due to terrible weather did not arrive at Port Egmont (the British base in the Falkland Islands) until 1st March the following year. Having unloaded her cargo, Endeavour sailed from Port Egmont on 4 May in a three-month (and an incredible non-stop) journey back to Portsmouth. The second voyage was to reduce the garrison and replace the vessel assigned to the Falklandsdefence , the Sloop Hound, John Burr Commander, with a smaller vessel, namely the 36-ton armed yacht Penguin, to be commanded by one Samuel Clayton. She was a collapsible vessel and was no sooner built than taken apart, and the pieces were stowed in Endeavour. Endeavour sailed in November with Hugh Kirkland as the sailing master, and additionally the crew of Penguin, and four ship's carpenters whose job was to reassemble Penguin on arrival, which was 28th January 1773. On 17 April Endeavour and Hound sailed for England with their crew. The third voyage sailed in January 1774 and her purpose was to evacuate the Falklands entirely as Britain was faced with political difficulties from the American Colonies, the French and the

Spanish. The government thought that if British ships and troops were engaged in America, Spain might seize the Falklands, capturing the small garrison at Port Egmont and maybe killing some of them - this, it was feared in an uncanny echo of 1982 - could trigger an outcry which might topple the government. Endeavour left England in January 1774, and sailed from the Falklands with all the British inhabitants on 23 April, leaving a flag and a plaque. Endeavour was then formally written off as surplus by the Admiralty in 1774 and sold by the Navy to London shipping magnate, John Mather for £645 Mather returned her to sea for colliery duties, back on her old North East stamping ground, and, in addition,made at least one commercial voyage to Archangel in Russia’s Arctic waters But the Royal Navy had further plans for her. Once the American War of Independence had kicked off, the British government needed ships to carry troops and materiel across the Atlantic. In 1775 Mather submitted Endeavour as a transport ship, but rejected owing to her condition. Thinking that renaming her would fool Deptford Yard, Mather resubmitted Endeavour under the name Lord Sandwich. No dice. The Admiralty inspectors saw Mather coming a long way off. . Mather, grudgingly had to dig in his pockets for repairs to be made, and the vessel was accepted in her third submission, under the name Lord Sandwich 2 as there was already a transport ship called Lord Sandwich. Lord Sandwich 2, under a new master William Author, sailed on the 6th May 1776 from Portsmouth in a fleet of 100 vessels, 68 of which were transports, which was under orders to support Howe's campaign to capture New York. This was reckoned to have been the biggest shipping convoy ever to leave British shores until D-Day. Lord Sandwich 2 carried 206 men mainly from the German Hessian Princely Corps who had allied themselves to Britain. After what was described as a terrible voyage, the scattered fleet assembled at Halifax, in Nova Scotia and then sailed southwards to Sandy Hook (a town who names resonates as the scene of a far more recent tragedy) where other ships and troops had assembled. New York was eventually captured, but the harbour town of Newport in Rhode Island which was firmly in rebel hands posed a threat as a base for recapturing New York, so in November 1776 a fleet, which included Lord Sandwich 2 carrying its Hessian Troops, set out to take Rhode Island which was eventually overrun, if not subdued, and the Lord Sandwich 2 was now needed as an offshore prison hulk for captured rebels.

●● The Rhode Island Marine Archeologists ready for another dive The surrender of Burgoyne's army at Saratoga, brought France into the war, and in the summer of 1778, a pincer plan was agreed to recapture Newport, in which the Continental Army (the US rebels) would approach overland, and a French Fleet would sail into the harbour. To prevent the latter the British commander, Captain John Brisbane, determined to blockade the bay by sinking surplus vessels at its mouth. Between the 3rd and 6th August a fleet of Royal Navy and hired craft, including Lord Sandwich 2, were scuttled at various locations in the Bay. Lord Sandwich 2, previously Endeavour, previously Earl of Pembroke, was sunk on 4th August 1778. Fast forward to today. Today the harbour is being explored by the Rhode Island Maritime Archaeology Project, and, only a few weeks ago, they announced that echo sounding and geophysical examinations had revealed one keel matching the dimensions of the Endeavour. The clincher will come in a series of dives in the coming months which will establish the kind of wood used and dating it. So, who knows, the hull of this magnificent ship might yet be established for good, brought to the surface and restored.

SPB Saltholme, the popular nature reserve between Stockton-on-Tees and Hartlepool is gearing up to celebrate its 10th anniversary and to begin those celebrations they have released a commemorative calendar ready for 2019. The calendar was made possible thanks to donations from Teesside Environmental Trust, the RSPB’s partners at Saltholme. Over the last year Saltholme has been running a photography competition and this calendar is a collection of the winning photographs, submitted by visitors to the nature reserve. Craig McNeil, Visitor Experience Officer said: “It’s been fantastic seeing so many great photos entered into our competition and it certainly wasn’t an easy task for our judges to pick just 12 for the calendar. The competition brief was to provide photos that really made you think of Saltholme and our visitors certainly didn’t disappoint with their shots.” The photo competition and the resulting calendar

Update from the Police and Crime Commissioner for Cleveland

Operational Update nce again I’m pleased to report that Cleveland Police’s officers and staff are continuing to keep the people of East Cleveland safe and have further operational success to share with you. Chief Constable Mike Veale himself has been on patrol in the area as he continues to better understand Cleveland’s towns and villages following his appointment in March. Loftus has been experiencing some youth antisocial behaviour (ASB), which has come to the attention of both the police and the local authority. A number of ASB warning notices have been issued and ASB injunctions are being sought, which will restrict the action of the youths causing the most problems. Recent problems with theft in the town have also been tackled, with two people charged with a range of theft offences – they both received prison sentences. Since then, there has been a significant reduction in crime compared with the previous month and crime prevention officers are continuing to work in the area to prevent further incidents taking place. Additional patrols are taking place in Skelton, where there has been a rise in incidents of crime and ASB. The police are working with housing providers and Redcar and Cleveland Borough

Look in when you’re out! The clocks go back at the end of the month, which is an opportunity for burglars and thieves to easily identify homes that look unoccupied. They do this simply by scanning homes in the street. It doesn’t take them long to identify a target, one that isn’t lit when it’s dark out. I visited a burglary victim last year who was targeted for that very reason, his property stood out because it wasn’t lit. For my October blog, I’m going to ask you to consider the use of ‘light’, in the fight against crime. We do tend to see an increase in domestic burglary at this time of year, which is why lighting up your home can really make a difference. As the nights draw in, criminals like to use the cover of darkness to commit crime. How many and what type of lighting? Humankind has used light since the Stone Age, lighting fires at the entrances to caves to deter predators. Modern day security lighting can deter modern day predators, such as burglars and thieves! Burglars prefer to burgle homes which are unoccupied; they like to work in darkness, concealing their activity and identity, however, just a couple of lights, and a couple of plug in timers can make a huge difference to your safety and security. Your home need not look like The Blackpool Illuminations! Lighting which comes on when there is movement, usually operated by a Passive Infra-red Detector can increase fear of crime, they may be more prone to tampering, and can create a nuisance for nearby neighbours. When activated, you may believe someone is in your garden; however, the light may have been triggered by a cat, a tree blowing in the wind or for a variety of other reasons.

●● PCC Barry Coppinger and Chief Constable Mike Veale at the ECCO meeting in Saltburn Council to use all powers available to resolve the issues. Thanks are required once again for residents in Guisborough and Lingdale for their continued support of the Community Speedwatch scheme. Residents made it clear they were sick of speeding cars and real action has been achieved in tackling speeding in these areas. Light Up for Liam Campaign As the roads become busier and car ownership increases, it’s more important than ever to continue to promote road safety. This month saw

We recommend dusk ‘til dawn lighting, which is the type that stays on through the hours of darkness, switching off before the sun comes up. Dusk ‘til dawn lighting, is welcoming, reduces fear of crime, you know instantly if the lamp has failed, and when you look out of your window at night, you can see that everything in the garden is indeed rosy. Dusk ‘til dawn lighting works best when the area being illuminated is overlooked. This type of lighting should be energy efficient, using low energy lamps or LED’s. Lighting inside your home There are several devices for switching on lights in your home, including timer switches and light sensitive lamps. Timer switches are very useful and fairly cheap. They can be plugged in and used to switch a lamp, a device which simulates the light from a TV, or a radio on in a ground floor room. Some models allow for multiple on/off periods and are ideal for an upstairs room - where a light going on and off over a period of time will give the impression that your home is occupied. In this modern ‘connected’ age you can also buy products that allow you to switch on lights in your home before you get in from work, or from the other side of the world! Remember! Don’t just set a light on a timer in the hall or landing area. You wouldn’t just sit in these locations in the evening - would you? So, and finally, lighten up round your home, because being dim can encourage burglars in! Gerry McBride Crime Prevention Officer Cleveland Police

●● The PCC and other supporters of the Light Up for Liam Campaign

the launch of the Light Up for Liam campaign, in memory of 26-year-old Liam Hibbins from Skelton, who was killed while walking along a poorly-lit road. To help the campaign make a real difference in keeping people safe, I provided a small grant from my Community Safety Fund to produce reflective safety bands to be handed out in schools, bars and clubs. The bands are designed to bring home the importance of being seen during darker evenings and with the aim of reducing the number of serious and fatal road collisions. On Thursday 27th September, I joined Liam’s family and friends, along with RoadPeace North East, Victim Care and Advice Service, Cleveland Police, Simon Clarke MP and Redcar Street Angels to hand out the bands. Liam’s loss has had a huge impact on his family, his friends and on the community and as a whole. We hope that no other family will have to suffer the loss of a loved one on these roads and this campaign is about making that happen. New cybercrime booklets to give advice on scams Cybercrime is placing an increasing demand on modern police forces and the most simple way to tackle it is through prevention. That’s why I’ve joined my fellow North East PCCs in funding the printing of a two new booklets to help residents and businesses to protect themselves against cyber criminals. The Little Book of Cyber Scams, aimed at businesses and the Little Book of Big Scams, for families and businesses were both developed in collaboration with local representatives from the Institute of Directors and the Federation of Small Businesses. They provide easy-to-follow, sensible advice and digital copies are available free of charge on my website - simply search for ‘cybercrime’. Hard copies can also be requested from Victim Care and Advice Service and Cleveland Police’s Cybercrime team. Engagement with the public During the past month I have attended a range of meetings in the Redcar and East Cleveland area. On Wednesday 19th September, I attended an event to celebrate the first Dementia Friendly organisations in Redcar. My office and Cleveland Police are both Dementia Friendly organisations and I

have been a long-time supporter of making our agencies accessible for those with dementia and their families. I was invited, along with Chief Constable Mike Veale, to speak at a meeting organised by East Cleveland Communities Organisation (ECCO) in Saltburn. The meeting was a fantastic opportunity to tell the community about the refreshed commitments in my new Police and Crime Plan, which is due to be published later this year. The Chief Constable also set out his vision for the force over the next 12-18 months, which includes streamlining the management structure, investing in welfare services and improving the IT technology at the disposal of officers and staff. Feedback from this meeting has been positive and I want to thank those who attended. I have been out on river patrol with the PD Ports-funded Harbour Police for the River Tees. The river is extremely busy as a key part of our local economy and the Harbour Police deal with crime and work closely with their colleagues in Cleveland Police and other agencies. Finally, I had the opportunity to support the excellent work of our area’s BME communities at the annual Tees Valley BME Achievement Awards. It is important as Police and Crime Commissioner that I recognise the work of our diverse communities and encourage community cohesion and partnership. I was proud to present the Community Safety Award. In the next couple of weeks, will reach my 600th community meeting since I was first elected in November 2012. This is an important milestone in my Your Force Your Voice pledge to engage with all 79 Cleveland wards on an annual basis. It has always been important for me to get my feet on the ground in communities and to have a good understanding of the policing concerns and priorities you have in your various neighbourhoods. I would like to thank all of you who have attended one of these meetings in the last 6 years and I look forward to the next 100!

Rural Ewe Crime Update H

ello and welcome to this month’s rural policing page. I’d like to start this month by making people aware that there is now a dedicated CrimeStoppers number for certain types of rural and wildlife crime. As you’ll know CrimeStoppers is a national charity which works in partnership with the police and the media to help fight crime. It has a dedicated, free telephone number called the Rural Crime Reporting Line, where you can now report the following types of rural crime anonymously. Our partners the NFU and CrimeStoppers have been instrumental in putting this together, and it’s hoped that the rural communities will use it. It’s on a one year’s trail, and if it’s successful then hopefully it will stay, so please use it as it’s another tool at our disposal for you to help us, so we can help you. The 4 headings that refer to the dedicated line are: • large-scale, industrial fly-tipping • hare coursing • livestock theft • machinery theft As an example, hare coursing can have devastating impacts for farmers, and is linked to criminal damage, violence and intimidation and we need to stamp out this crime. You can give information 100% anonymously to their Rural Crime Reporting Line. www.crimestoppers-uk.org MODERN DAY SLAVERY Another topic in the news at the moment and something we in Cleveland Police are tackling is: Modern Day Slavery The reason I’m mentioning it on this page is that it’s been proven across the country that this is taking place in our rural communities where we live and work, so I wanted to highlight the issue and try to explain what it is, the signs it’s happening and how you can report it. What is Modern Slavery? • Sex Trafficking • Child Sex Trafficking • Forced Labour • Bonded Labour or Debt Bondage • Domestic Servitude • Forced Child Labour Adult victims are trafficked all over the world for little or no money – including to and within the UK. They can be forced to work in the sex trade, domestic service, forced labour, and criminal activity or have their organs removed to be sold. There is no typical victim and some victims don’t understand they have been exploited and are entitled to help and support. Victims are often trafficked to a foreign country where they cannot speak the language, have their travel and identity documents removed, and are told that if they try to attempt an escape, they or their families will be harmed. Identifying victims: • Is the victim in possession of a passport, identification or travel documents? • Are these documents in possession of someone else? • Does the victim act as if they were instructed or coached by someone else? • Do they allow others to speak for them when spoken to directly? • Was their transport paid for by facilitators, whom they must pay back through providing services? • Does the victim receive little or no payment for their work? • Is someone else in control of their earnings? • Was the victim forced to perform sexual acts? • Does the victim have freedom of movement? • Has the victim or family been threatened with harm if the victim attempts to escape? • Is the victim under the impression they are bonded by debt, or in a situation of dependence? • Has the victim been harmed or deprived of food,

water, sleep, medical care or other life necessities? • Can the victim freely contact friends or family? • Do they have limited social interaction or contact with people outside their immediate environment? • Some slaves are physically abused as a means of control, so regular bruising and injuries could suggest there are problems. • They may also be collected or dropped off to work at very unusual times to avoid being seen by members of the public What you can do: Report something suspicious you spot to police or other authorities - it could be at a farm, rural business, a house in your street where suddenly large numbers of young women / groups of males have been moved in and which then receives visitors all times of day or where there is an influx on workers where workers seem to avoid engagement, not appropriately dressed for their work or increasingly ill fed and unkempt. If there is an immediate danger to the suspected victim or if you think that the suspected victim is under 18, inform the police and call 999 as a matter of urgency. Modern Slavery Helpline: 0800 0121 700 I hope this will help as I believe that this is a very important issue that needs to be tackled to stop the misery that those who are victims suffer. Rural Crime Prevention: I’ve had a busy month again visiting Farms and Businesses, but unfortunately it’s usually been a case of turning up after they have been broken into or have been victims of anti-social behaviour and criminal damage. I have to admit it would be lovely just to introduce myself to everyone under better circumstances which is why I’ve included some crime prevention advice now that the winter months are drawing in and people are potentially more vulnerable. The advice is universal and applies to home owners, businesses and farms so please take what you can from it and hopefully it will mean that I get to meet you when you’re under less pressure and not as angry…. • Check the Doors and Locks • Make sure external doors on homes and outbuildings are solid wood or metal and have deadbolt locks • Use the locks • Security can be further improved if the building is alarmed and contains a secure inner cage or storeroom in which to keep the various tools. Secure inner ‘rooms’ are intended to frustrate and slow down the intruder • Secure sliding glass doors with commercially available locks or a dowel in the track to jam the door • Insert screws in upper track of sliding doors and windows to prevent lifting panes from the track • Secure basement windows as well • Check the Outside

• Install bright outside lights and keep them on at night • Keep house driveway and other buildings well lit • Use timers that will turn them on at night • Consider Motion sensors that set off lights or alarms • Prune shrubbery that hide doors, windows and lights • Keep fences in good repair • Secure all access roads with gates or cables (stretched between cement-embedded poles) • Post no trespassing, no hunting, etc. signs on and around your property • Protect Equipment and Livestock • Mark Identifications on (marking tools, equipment and machines with identifying numbers) • Work with law enforcement to determine good prevention methods and encourage community wide use • Tattoo all livestock (usually on ears) soon after birth • Take regular counts of livestock • Secure gas pumps and tanks, storage bins, grain elevators, etc. with padlocks or deadbolts • Keep small equipment (mowers, bikes, snowmobiles, etc.) locked in a barn or garage • Keep guns locked and unloaded in a secure place away from children • Never leave keys in vehicles or farm equipment • Lock trunks and other vehicles when not in use • Don’t leave tools in plain sight inside a vehicle or in an unsecured truck bed toolbox • Don’t leave major equipment in a field over night • Guard your Crops • Store harvested crops in protected and locked locations • Consider making grain, hay or similar crops with non-toxic confetti that is easily removed by storage or processing facilities • Keep a record of valuable timber and materials • Isolate electrical power to the tank • Keep storage areas neat and well organized so that theft is noticed immediately • Check employees’ references before they start and inform them of your crime prevention measures • Help Your Neighbors • Start or participate in a Neighborhood Rural Watch

Program • When you leave on business or pleasure, stop mail/ paper delivery or have a neighbor retrieve them daily Top five targeted (rural) theft items across the UK • ATV/Quad Bikes • Machinery • Farm and Commercial tools • Garden equipment • Livestock Top five types of (rural) crimes across the UK • Vehicle theft • Burglary • Rural business theft • Livestock theft • Vandalism So, now that we have a feel for the rural crime prevention issues what are the advantages and disadvantages for a criminal operating in the rural environment? Advantages • Fewer witnesses • Unprepared victims and often a lower level of building security (a lower expectation of crime reduces the motivation to prevent it) • Less physical police presence due to the large geographical areas • A myriad of roads and country lanes to avoid capture • High value property (agricultural plant, farm vehicles, livestock, machinery, heritage, fuel) Disadvantages • Fewer and/or spread out targets (people, buildings, vehicles) • Distance of travel • Close knit communities who recognise strangers I hope this month’s addition has been of interest, as I know you all l have an interest in rural matters and I wanted to give you the relevant information on these very important issues Again if you need to contact me please do so at: Ruralcrime.webmail@cleveland.pnn.police.uk And take a look at our Twitter page: @ClevelandRural Kind Regards Paul Payne Rural Crime Officer

... your well-being in our hands

Daoyin Tao - Chinese Face, Neck and Shoulder Massage “Feeling is Believing!” A harmonious blend

ike many Complementary Therapies that have their roots in time-honoured Eastern traditions and principals; the original practice of Daoyin involved breathing and movement to internally massage organs and increase overall health. Daoyin pre-dates T’ai Chi, Qi gong and Kung Fu. However, you may not be familiar with Daoyin Tao – Chinese Face, Neck and Shoulder Massage, but, once experienced – never forgotten! Daoyin Tao, pronounced Dow Yin TOW (as in TOWn), is a powerful massage approach which is the culmination of much study and travel in China coupled with over 16 years experience as a Complementary Healthcare Practitioner by its originator, Anna-Louise Haigh. Daoyin Tao is a uniquely harmonious blend of ancient Chinese and modern Western massage techniques adapted to suit Western preferences. This new Complementary Therapy offers deep relaxation and a wide therapeutic potential. To date, sufferers of conditions requiring decongestion, de-stressing, pain relief, rebalancing and revitalisation have all experienced lasting results from the treatment,

which only requires a 45 minute appointment. One impressed recipient commented: “A feeling of relaxation, deep calm and peace prevailed. It was as if a weight was lifted from both mind & body which eased away aches, pains and tension.” Daoyin Tao seems to provide effectiveness at each recipient’s own level of need. Although some of the origins may be similar, it is not comparable to Indian Head Massage. Instead it utilises techniques which are practised in hospitals and clinics throughout China to provide its wide spectrum of benefit. Many recipients have even experienced improvement in digestion, circulation and back pain despite the fact that the techniques are only applied to the face, neck and shoulders with a deep scalp massage enhancing the overall effect. The scope of effect doesn’t end there. Many recipients who have had regular treatment are now reporting an improvement in facial lines, reduction in puffiness and a generally more youthful appearance. We can combine a Daoyin Tao treatment with our own natural, vegan skincare products, which are hand made in Moorsholm.

The Reader

With few contra-indications, Daoyin Tao has a great deal of potential whether you seek deep relaxation or assistance with management of particular health concerns.

Perhaps the final words should come from Sandra: “ I hesitated at first because I used to think of this as a luxury, but after years as a migraine sufferer, I was ready to try anything. After the first treatment I was convinced that Daoyin Tao could make a difference. "After a few regular treatments, I now attend once a month and I really look forward to my time-out. As I relax my body says thank you!” It has now been three months since Sandra’s last migraine attack. Get in on the magic Locally, Daoyin Tao and The Ultimate Facial can be experienced with Judith Watson at Smart Therapies in Moorsholm.

News from the Local WI’s Loftus WI

By Linda Wilson

ur October meeting held on the 9th of the month was a rather special one as it was a Birthday Party being held to celebrate the 95th Birthday of Loftus W.I. The meeting began as usual with Jerusalem being sung and followed by any business relevant to forthcoming events, of which there are rather a lot, being, afternoon tea, a Christmas lunch, a visit to Hinderwell to see a play, a shopping trip and as the festive season approaches we must not forget the Christmas Festival being held in St Leonard's Church from Friday 14th to Sunday 16th. Business out of the way we then enjoyed a delicious salad, followed by a variety of desserts provided by committee members and to finish off the splendid meal we then had sherry and

Birthday cake. The cake was baked and iced by our President Mrs Cynthia White and tasted every bit as good as it looked. Our speaker for the evening, 'Marko', a circus entertainer, gave us an insight into how he began such an unusual career and demonstrated how to use a variety of props he uses for his shows. We then had the opportunity, and great fun to try them for ourselves. Our competition, four cheese scones saw lots of delicious looking entries and 'Marko' did a great job of choosing very worthy winners . As you can see we have a wide variety of events, trips and activities planned on a regular basis so why not come along to Loftus Town Hall the second Tuesday of the month 7pm , you can be sure of a warm welcome from the Ladies of Loftus W.I.

Saltburn WI

By Diane Falla

ur October meeting was dominated by the smell of fresh bread as Ian Clacherty from Stonehouse bakery was our speaker and he brought along samples of different loaves for us to try. As well as telling us the history of his business, he shared some of his secrets for successful bread making and was only too willing to answer our many questions. A very interesting and informative speaker. Everyone enjoyed his talk. We have had a busy month with a visit to The

Piece Hall in Halifax which was enjoyed by all who went. We have also started a new activity, walking netball. Running may be banned but it is an energetic and fun filled hour. Many of us haven’t played since we were at school. Our next meeting is at the Saltburn learning centre on Thursday 8th November at 7 pm. New members are always welcome so why not come along and give us a try. You can find out more about our activities at www.saltburnbytheseawi.wordpress.com or follow us on Facebook.

Jeff

Jeff is a very special one year old crossbreed who came to S.A.R.A. as a stray. Jeff loves going for walks with his dog friends and he is desperate to play with them, he just isn’t sure how. On arrival, it became clear that Jeff hadn’t experienced a great deal. He was very nervous of new things and people. To add to this, Jeff was very underweight, had a swelling from severe trauma to his head and had many scars on his back which the vets suggested were burns. We have spent a lot of time introducing Jeff to different people, gazebos, wheelbarrows, carrier bags and much more! Jeff has now gained plenty of weight and confidence. The swelling on his head has decreased in size but is still visible. Sadly, the vets think the burn scars will stay with Jeff forever. We now feel Jeff is ready to find his new home! Jeff would be looking for a home with no children and with a female dog who can take him under her wing.

Snow and Phoebe

Snow and Phoebe are a lovely pair of ten year old cats who are brother and sister. They came to S.A.R.A. following a change in their owners circumstances. We are looking for a home where they would be the only pets. Both are really affectionate. Snow will come over for a fuss where Phoebe prefers a fuss in her bed These are just some of the lovely animals looking for new homes at SARA.

ur October meeting saw us holding our Annual General Meeting including the minutes of last year's AGM, Secretary's Report, Financial Statement and President's report. Members of the committee also outlined the work they had done this year along with reports from each of our groups. These all highlighted the fact that we are a strong and well supported WI with many ongoing activities, which are enjoyed by members as well as making a good contribution to our Group. Federation and community. The committee was unanimously re-elected with the addition of one new member, Isabel

Knight, who will prove a valuable asset. In the absence of any new nominations or members of the committee willing to stand, Pat Bolton became President again. The committee were then thanked for their work during the year by Jill Farndale on behalf of all the members.

Wayfarer’s Travels

Tallin – Estonia T

allinn is the capital of Estonia as well as being it`s largest city; it`s on the northern coast of the country, on the shore of the Gulf of Finland. Tallinn`s Old Town is recognised as being one of the best preserved medieval towns in Europe and is listed as a Unesco world heritage site. The earliest settlements there go back 5,000 years but the city was only recognized as such in 1248. We went in the middle of July and the temperature was spot on – in the upper twenties. Food was excellent throughout our stay and one evening we dined at one of the most charming eating houses I've ever come across. It was aptly named 'The Pepper Sack' and hadn't changed for hundreds of years. There's also lots of very good beers and, unlike many eastern

European beers, most are not too strong. My favourite was Laugas, from the Ponjala Cellars at about two euros a pint. The old town is quite compact but nevertheless we found a different part of it to explore every night. For weary legs there's a couple of little “Noddy” trains to take you around. Ta l l i n n i s a l s o a photographer's dream; round every corner almost, there's a quaint old medieval scene and many locals still dress as they used to do in times gone by. If you run out of things to do in Tallinn itself, you can always take a day trip over the Baltic sea to Helsinki – but make sure you take plenty of euros – everything costs roughly double the price it does in Tallinn.

Brexit and politicians Like many people I am worried about the economic effects that Brexit will have on our area, so it was with some alarm that I read Cllr Kay’s letter suggesting we insist that representatives from the EU come to the UK to negotiate the terms of Brexit, or that we “compromise” by meeting them at Waterloo. I would expect a more constructive and realistic approach from one of our elected representatives. If any one of us was wishing to give up, for example, a prepaid local gym membership and wanted a sympathetic hearing and a refund we would not do it by insisting that the CEO and Board of the organisation come to see us at home to discuss the matter. Unfortunately the attitude that we are somehow entitled to special treatment from the EU seems to be shared by many of the politicians negotiating on our behalf. Most people have now come to realise that Brexit is not as simple a process as it was first portrayed, and for our elected politicians to continue to depict it as such whilst reducing it to slogans and soundbites insults the intelligence of those who elected them. Mike Betterton Skelton

Brush up on your history! After spending well over a decade in education, most young people have little knowledge of even the most important events and movements in the history of our great nation. I recently heard an ‘A’ level student proclaim: “The king was gaffer in Stuart times”, which is far, far too much of a generalisation, as the 17th century saw a great REDUCTION in the power of the monarch. At the end of two civil wars, the New Model Army and the House of Commons had Charles I condemned to death. Charles was beheaded on 30th January 1649 and, for more than a decade, there was no king. In 1660, the monarchy was restored. But, after James II attempted to rule as a despot, he was replaced, in 1688, by his daughter, Mary, and her Dutch husband, William. The throne, however, came at a price. The Crown could no longer have a permanent army in peacetime. Nor could it ignore acts of parliament, or levy taxes without Parliament’s consent. The Bill of Rights (1689) saw the beginning of the ascendancy of Parliament over the Crown. The monarch could not even choose their own religion. Of the monarchs who ruled England in the 17th century, the third was beheaded, the fifth was removed and the joint monarchs, William and Mary, had their powers greatly curtailed. In the 17th century, kings did rule, but not all the time, and often not alone! And, why is this important? It’s important because it saw the end of despotism in England and the beginnings of constitutional government. Steve Kay Redcar & Cleveland Councillor

Let's restore some pride on Longbeck estate

Investment in Longbeck Trading Estate

As a business owner and employer on the Longbeck Trading Estate for over 38 years, we have witnessed a steady decline in the condition and facilities on the estate. The larger companies have moved, many because of economical reasons or disgruntled with the rundown conditions. Street lighting has been virtually non-existent for many years, sewerage and drainage are a serious issue and the roads are a disgrace. All of these problems have been reported and documented. Whilst we appreciate any help in improving the estate, in particular the roads, would it be possible for the resurfacing to be programmed following necessary repairs to the lighting, drainage and sewerage? It is disappointing to think that we are only allocated £200K compared to the amounts designated to other estates. Hopefully necessary enquiries have been fulfilled and it reflects accurately in the size both in number of businesses and people employed. Finally lets restore some pride in Longbeck Trading Estate.

Welham Kitchens Limited has been here on the same site on Longbeck Trading Estate for approximately 20 years; we have a large showroom open to the public and also a factory where we manufacture our own furniture. Having just read through the Redcar and Cleveland Member Report, Investing in Our Industrial Estates, I felt the need to get in touch. It is incredibly disappointing to discover there will be comparatively very little investment in Longbeck Estate. This estate, I believe, has more occupied premises than the others but is offered the least amount. Which businesses on this estate did consultation occur with? There certainly has not been 'ongoing dialogue' with me about the requirement for investment as stated in the report. As a longstanding business owner I would like to offer my opinion on the proposed investment into improving the estate. Longbeck estate wasn't in good repair when it was sold by the council and has deteriorated further since. Although it is good the road may be resurfaced with the investment, this will only cover over the underlying issues. The drainage system is very poor. Drains overflow from time to time. It would be a shame to have to dig up the new roads and would cost more and create more disruption to the businesses. Customers are deterred from visiting Longbeck estate, due to not only the state of the roads, but also the lack of any lighting. Business definitely suffers during the winter months and my staff don't feel safe leaving the building on an evening. Staff actually return to their vehicles by torch light in the winter months. This is dangerous. A large sign was erected on the entrance of the estate recently which, due to the design/layout, I feel has no benefit whatsoever. It is very difficult to read due to small complicated wording. Before further money is wasted, I would like to request money is allocated to where it is needed first. i.e Lighting, drainage, roads. Redcar and Cleveland Council talk of development and encouraging investment and businesses growth, only to charge extortionate rates on commercial buildings. The rates charged are in direct contrast with the service received. I am aware of buildings on some of the estates which have been demolished due to the owners being unable to pay the rates and now it's proposed more are built. I look forward to hearing your response.

Heads we win, tails you lose Your last issue illustrated perfectly the crazy situation regarding money awards in our upside down Nation. Have your heard of the mad, innumerate family on one of our anti-social housing estates that is up to its ears in debt, but buys endless scratch cards and keeps a separate fund for regular booze-ups in Benidorm. You should have. Your are living in it. Marske Industrial Estate representatives rightly felt that they had been unfairly treated with just £200,000 granted compared to Skelton's £1.2 million to improve the surrounding infrastructure. But a few pages later we are informed that £1.6 million has been awarded by the National Lottery to transform Guisborough Town Hall. The NHS and social care system are struggling and unsustainable in the long term, the Nation is £1.8 trillion in debt, many roads are crumbling, Libraries are being closed nation-wide, etc etc, but the Lottery paid out £1,655 million last year for projects that are mostly cosmetic and rarely vital. For instance, it was reported in the press last week that Southampton University has been paid £34,000 to research the local dialect and found nothing. However, my complaint is not aimed at any particular beneficiary of Lottery Grants. If everyone else has their nose in the silly money trough, why not join in for your share. Gambling of all kinds has run riot in Britain and is destroying lives, as widely reported. The current efforts to curb it by limiting advertising hours and bookie's bandit machines are futile and pathetic. The bulk of Lottery money comes from inadequate people, who have no idea of the Laws of Probability involved and who should be spending it on their families. Meanwhile the directors, executive and non-executive, of Camelot, last year received £3,659,000, compared with £1,431,000 and shareholders received £70 million, compared with £21.2 million. It would be immoral of any private Company to be running this organisation, but when it is carried out in the name of the Government it is a scandalous disgrace. The use of the Lottery funds is clearly totally illogical and downright profligate in the light of the Nation's dire economic situation. Just think, if the Lottery was ended and all the multi-millions directed into Premium Bonds, where only the interest is risked, how much better off Britain would be. Maybe then deserving Marske could be given a few more quid. Bill Danby Skelton

Paul Welham - Welham Kitchens Longbeck Trading Estate

Walled Garden - Kirkleatham On Friday 21st September, Redcar and Cleveland Council delivered a devastating blow to the residents of Sir William Turner Almshouses and the people of Kirkleatham Village. They granted a late license to Kymel Leisure Ltd, meaning that an events Marquee operated by Kymel will host live music, sports events etc , where last orders will be 1am, 100metres from the Almshouses . There has been a great deal of opposition to this, from people who believed that Kirkleatham was a special place, a conservation village with many buildings of great historical interest. People who hoped that common sense would prevail and that the Council would listen and realise that Kirkleatham was not the right location for an events Marquee that would serve 350 people. That is 350 people leaving the Marquee in the early hours of the morning; how is that not going to impact on the lives of the residents? The Almshouses are a grade 1 listed building, with original single glazed sash windows. Now I hear that features that make Saltburn special, are also under threat. Why does our Council not value the best of our area, why do they not spend their time and resources on making Redcar as a whole great, instead of ruining the special gems that surround it? Thank you. Jean Elizabeth Young. Resident of the Almshouses

Making a difference to the lives of children, young people and families

Run for Resilience

he Redcar running festival has not long passed and was very successfully ran by Everyone Active, as well as other organisations that took part and were represented in the run. Some of these included local school and organisations, one of them being The Junction. As a part of a new funding bid The Junction was able to begin to run a running club across their current services which they named, Run for Resilience to encourage young people and community members to become more active. The Junction was very lucky to be chosen to be one of the chosen charities to be supported by Redcar Running Festival with The Junction taking part and raising money in support of the work to make a difference to the lives of local children, young people and their families. 100% of all money raised goes towards supporting our local children and young people. The Junction supports children and young people across Redcar and Cleveland and Middlesbrough, these young people are from all different backgrounds and walks of life including young carers, children struggling with their emotional wellbeing and mental health and also unemployed young people. The Junction began the Run for Resilience campaign to aim to get inactive young people and adults

active through fun, supportive walking and running sessions with the goal of promoting a happy and healthy lifestyle. This campaign was funded by Tees Valley Community Foundation and Sports England and this funding allowed The Junction to gain Run for Resilience merchandise relating to running, some of these included water bottles, t-shirts, caps and buffs to incentivise young people to get involved and run coach training for volunteer run coaches. This funding was originally brought up as a part of the Inactive in Teesside grant scheme and the project aims to get inactive people active, improve their confidence and resilience for life through running, this was aimed at aged 14+. Run for Resilience has been very successful in getting you people and others active, involving both young people and Junction staff/volunteers meeting weekly for training and fun filled sessions. For the Redcar Running Festival, The Junction had many representatives running in the races, we had representatives in the 2km Fun Run, the 5k, 10k and the half marathon. The event was very successful and hundreds of people ran each of the races, coming from The Junction I luckily have the opportunity to speak with some of the racers and get a feeling for what it was like on the day. The first runner is female and ran the 5k. This next person is one of The

Junction’s young people, 14 who ran the 5k fun run at the event. This is her voice on the campaign and how Run for Resilience has made her feel. “The running club has made me feel really proud and has helped my confidence. I wasn’t very good at first but have got better and better each week and I push myself to do more. We all help and encourage each other along the way which is really nice to know my friends are supporting me. I used to think running was a ‘chore’ but I’ve learnt that it can be really fun and I’ve gone beyond my limits that I ever thought I was capable of. I’ve even signed up for the 5k run which will be tough but I feel we will be able to do as a team. After going to running club I feel good about myself that I have achieved something and it gives me the motivation to achieve other things too. Without these clubs I wouldn’t have much of a social life and I wouldn’t be as happy as I am now. I do struggle at times but I know going to these groups and speaking to staff and my friends will pick me back up again”. Another runner that represented us in the Running Festival is a Junction Staff member who ran with some of our young carers. This is her thoughts on the event; “I think that Run for Resilience is an amazing project because it allows us to be a part of the team and also shows

and gains support for The Junction. I believe that having the Run for Resilience t-shirt’s worked really well because it allowed us to identify every runner that was running on behalf of The Junction, we also had bright green tutu’s which also stood out massively in the pool of runners. "Being part of the young carers team I have seen the young carers practice and become invested in running, overcome barriers and fears and pushing themselves out of their comfort zones. To me, it is like they have really accomplished something and how all their hard work has paid off for them. "For myself, it has allowed me to be more motivated, get me out more and being more active. It has also given me the confidence to go out, and makes me feel like I am bettering myself. I have much better resilience now in terms of running as I am able to bounce back when I feel I am losing energy or struggling.” The last person who I spoke to about Run for Resilience and the Running Festival was another member of staff, this person was very involved in making Run for Resilience happen and she is one of our Running Leaders. This is her thoughts; “This year for the first time, The Junction Foundation was one of Redcar Running Festival's sponsored charities. We embraced the opportunity to put on our trainers and set up our Run for

Resilience campaign. "The campaign focused on getting inactive people active. We set up weekly running sessions around Redcar and the results were fantastic. Some people having never run before were fit and ready to take part in the sponsored run. 35 people took part on behalf of The Junction. "The day started early setting up our stall at 7am, packing up the goody bags ready for the runners completing their race. "The day was a fantastic success! There was a buzz of excitement amongst the young people and staff. On a personal level, although I took part in the run, the best part of my day was cheering on the other runners and listening to them talk proudly about their achievements!” In conclusion to this, Run for Resilience is a very successful and valued project that has helped support and encourage young people to get out, get active and to live a healthier lifestyle. This has proven to be an excellent way to go about this as it is very fun, exciting and involving way to make this happen and everyone at The Junctions feels this campaign has helped the young people who participate in gaining confidence and generally making them feel better about themselves. Thank you. By Hannah Kay @The Junction Foundation

Brand new play at Stockton’s ARC brings inspirational audience response Occupation

Saltburn-based playwright and theatre director has described the standing ovations for a brand new play as ‘heartwarming and inspirational’, and revealed that plans are now underway to tour the play next year. Occupation, written by Pauline Heath, and directed by Vici Wreford-Sinnott, had audiences spellbound and on their feet applauding at two performances at Stockton’s ARC recently. The hard-hitting, moving and often hilarious play was set around a disability rally, where people who normally wouldn’t dream of taking part in a protest had gathered together to draw attention to real stories and the often hidden voices of disabled people today. Vici’s Little Cog Theatre Company brought together a strong cast of Patricia Jones, Coll Metcalfe, Andrew McLay and Charlie Fennell, who joined forces with a 12-strong community cast to tell the stories of a disabled Falklands veteran, a homeless young man, a professional senior manager and a single mum with a disabled

Vici said: “Occupation has been a play living in Pauline Heath’s head for over eight years, and it’s been fantastic to bring it to life this year with help from both ARC and Arts Council England. “Despite the time it has taken to get it to this stage, it has never been more relevant, more pertinent and more urgent. “In 2017 the UN completed a report into its findings of the treatment of disabled people in the UK. The report was damning - ‘UK government fails to protect disabled people,’ ‘grave violations of disabled peoples’ human rights,’ and finally going as far as to say that there is a ‘human catastrophe’ in the UK and its treatment of disabled people in 21st Century Britain. “Several leading academics have undertaken research into the number of additional deaths of disabled people under this and the previous government’s austerity measures, and the play invited us into the real stories of disabled people and their families under austerity. “The play was based on research and interviews with real people, and Pauline and

“It’s all about how people, all of us, are stronger when we stand together, make our voices heard together, and try to make change happen together. So the audience response was both heart-warming and inspirational in equal measure. “Several audience members urged us afterwards to take the play on the road so as many people as possible could see it, and we will be definitely be aiming to go on tour sometime next year.”

What’s on at the Cutty Wren Every Tuesday at The Redcar Borough Park Bowling Club

i, all! We’ve some great nights this month, with both local and national performers. First off, on October 30th, are Fil (Philomena) Campbell and Tom McFarland, a County Down duo with many years experience, Fil as a singers, and Tom as a noted percussionist. We’ll have a good range of material from traditional songs to their own, and with guitar as well as percussion. They sound good to me, especially as I haven’t heard them before. Our unofficial Club motto is “There are no strangers here – only friends we haven’t met before.” I’m sure it will be the case this time, too. We have our annual “We Will Remember Them” evening on November 6th. It’s a touch early, but we like to have Trevor Taylor as our M.C. and lead performer as he’s very clued up on the music of the two world wars, and he’s not available a week later. This is always a popular night, when as folkies we remember the sacrifices made by millions of ordinary people in those conflicts. There may be tears, but there’ll be laughter as well, as we also remember the songs that kept them going. And, of course, many old folk songs dealt with the pain of war as well. We have a Hot Spot on November 13th, when a local “act” has a chance to do more than the usual two numbers of a Singers’ night. This time we have Ron and Jean Cable, who sometimes call themselves “Bittersweet”! (So which is which...?). Ron is a fine guitarist and singer who has been writing some raw and very realistic songs for some time. He really gets you to feel the emotion. Jean has taken up song writing more recently, but is no slouch at the art either. Both have fine distinctive voices, and I reckon this will be a night to remember. The 20th November brings our “basic” Singers’ and Musicians’ night, when locals and visitors step up and perform a couple of numbers each. We don’t know exactly who will turn up, or what they’ll do, especially as we have some very inventive songwriters among our regulars these days. One thing is sure – there’ll be plenty of laughs and good humour, so come along if you’ve not tried a folk club before. If you do anything “folky” at all (a very wide field”) you’ll probably get a turn, and if you just want to listen that’s fine as well. On Saturday, 24th November we will be holding a Charity Night in aid of the fight against Prostate Cancer at the Redcar Bowls Club (Cutty Wren venue) starting 7.30pm, entry £5. It will be a ‘come all ye’ event with raffle/tombola/cake (guess the weight).Come along and join us for this very worthy cause. Dave Gibb will be our guest on November 27th. He’s a major performer on the Scottish scene, with a noted guitar style and a wide repertoire of traditional and self-penned songs. He’s serious when necessary, but has a quirky sense of humour as well. This sounds like my sort of singer, so I’m looking forward to the night. Looking ahead we have a Theme Night of “Come Hand Me The Glass” on December 4th, and our Christmas party on the 18th. More on that and early 2019 next time! Looking back, Karin Grandal-Park and Karl Robins were two great entertainers on Sept 18th. They’d some popular traditional and recent songs, but their own were very good as well. The rest of the evenings this past month have been “Singers and Musicians” and we’ve had some fine performances. What a night when Di Henderson turned up with the great Scots quartet “Linkum Doddy”! So – come and hear! We meet every Tuesday evening at the Redcar Borough Park Bowling

Fuel from London to tour BSL integrated piece ‘SUMMIT’ in the Tees Valley along side young people from Redcar

●● Dave Gibb

What’s On - Music & Events

he Create tour presents SUMMIT, an exciting new play produced by Fuel. Experience three different perspectives whilst exploring topics such as equality, rhetoric and communication brought to you by the mind behind The Preston Bill and Commonwealth. How can we work together in the face of crisis? Three people performing in multiple languages (including BSL) try to find out in a new three-act play by North-West born and based Andy Smith SUMMIT tells the action-packed story of a meeting organised to discuss and resolve a potentially catastrophic situation - our situation. Conceived as an invitation for audiences to meet, listen, think, and take action, SUMMIT is performed in an integrated mix of languages, including English, BSL and Malay, creating a performance that is fully accessible to both hearing and non-hearing audiences. Andy Smith said “After opening at Brighton Festival in 2017, I’m thrilled that we have found an opportunity to tour SUMMIT. In both form and content, the play looks to explore ideas of diversity, inclusion and agency, and I am looking forward to presenting it in many places and for many audiences across England this autumn.” Kate McGrath director of Fuel said “Fuel’s 2018 season is about understanding how we got here and where we’re going, and this extraordinary new play by Andy Smith invites us as an audience to do just

that. Andy has an ability to get right to the essence of things, and in this case to ask, if everything were to change, what would your part in that change be?” The show will tour as part of Create Tour, which has been giving young people an opportunity to work with professional theatre and dance companies throughout the local area (see editor notes). During the October Half term Fuel will work with a group of young people at Tuned In! Redcar. They will create a brand new curtain raiser piece that they then get to perform to a range of audiences and venues including The Arc Stockton and as part of the tour dates listed

A wish comes true

Making life work Exhibitions of historic and new work show importance of making as way of creating identity and sense of community through everyday practices

met Paul Jarvis (Jarv SABIC) a very upset and heartbroken young Grandfather on one of our work mornings in the cemetery; he shared with me what had happened to Peggy his Granddaughter. Talking through the issue we decided to work together on his concerns about a lack of a path in the Precious Garden where 64 babies and children are buried. We have a group bank account and are working to the rules of the constitution that was agreed 14 years ago when the group was started. The Friends agreed to fundraise and more donations came in and we held stalls in the town. Paul made funds through donations from work colleagues and family and friends. I knew he was determined to achieve this difficult task. When Peter Ward from SABIC liaised with Andrew Pearson Community Development Officer R.C.B.C. they organised and pulled together everyone that could help to master mind the plan. There was a lot of planning and checking of the finite details. They kept us all in touch at every step of the way. We were very surprised that the men from Oilfines 6 came from their shift to lay the path. The Friends provided refreshments from a pop up table in the cemetery. Together with Cleveland Land Services and FROG Future Regeneration of Grangetown all worked together and the path was laid. Peggy and all the other children will be remembered and visitors will have a safe path to visit this special place. Our final project is coming together now which can

be seen in the new section; three paths have been laid, the majority of the money has come from our fundraising £16,000 together with £5,000 from Sirius Minerals. These paths provide a safe passage to the wood sculptures. These sculptures represent Faith, Hope and Love. When the last sculpture is in place a sound surface around the sculptures will be laid. We would like to thank Impetus Environmental Trust for funding the project and to all the people who gave items to be sold and donations towards these unique structures. Further fundraising continues. The Friends are having a stall at St Peter’s Church Redcar at their special coffee morning event supporting charities. This will take place on Saturday 27th October 10am – 12md. Refreshments and a variety of stalls will be available. The Friends are having a market stall in the High Street on Friday 2nd November selling books, music and Everyone’s A Winner prize game. Join us at a 'Winter Fair' Saturday 10th November 101pm at the New Life Church, Grosmont Close, Redcar TS10 4PJ. Cakes, crafts, gifts, home accessories. Cafe serving Tea & Coffee, tea cakes, bacon & sausage buns. The Friends will have a bric a brac stall with many bargains. Our calendar will be on sale at every event. This year we are keeping the theme of images of old Redcar as they are very popular. If you have missed buying one please contact Dot 01642 478349 or any member of the ‘Friends’ and the calendars will also be available from the Victorian Tea Rooms, West Terrace and Roseberry Funeral Service Our new newsletter is published now and can be picked up from the waterproof boxes at the cemetery and many other venues. We would like to thank everyone involved in our work those who give, goods, endless time, and donations and those who share their skills, you are helping to make such a difference to a special place. Thank You.

TRANSPORT FOR THE FUTURE Good transport links are essential to creating new opportunities for jobs, homes and better places to live in our borough. We have great opportunities to create a flourishing future, but need transport that is efficient, reliable, affordable and good for the environment. The council is working with others to invest in the transport network. Your views are needed to help us prioritise what is required.

iddlesbrough Institute of Modern Art (MIMA)’s autumn season of exhibitions present artists who have dedicated their artistic lives to their cause. Cumbrian folk art, feminist Black Arts activism and LGBTQI rights shape two solo shows and one group exhibition. Exhibitions open 20 October 2018 and end 3 February 2019. Chila Kumari Singh Burman, Tales of Valiant Queens Chila Kumari Singh Burman is a British Asian artist who makes prints, sculptures and films that explore the intersection of gender, class and ethnicity in the construction of identity. Her vibrant work is rooted in her understanding of the diverse and hybrid nature of culture as shaped by her upbringing in a working class Punjabi Hindu family in Liverpool. Exhibiting nationally and internationally since the mid-1980s, Burman was a key player in the British Black Arts movement of that time. She was recently awarded an honorary doctorate from the University of Arts, London for her outstanding contribution to the field of art. This exhibition surveys her practice, bringing together works made between the 1970s and today that focus on themes of female empowerment, social and political activism, folk traditions and colonial legacies. Forming part of the survey, and part of the Middlesbrough Collection is July 13th 1981, Chapeltown Uprisings and the Five Demands (1981), acquired by MIMA in 2017 with support from the Art Fund. Exhibition opens at 11am on 20 October 2018 with Burman sharing insights into her practice and latest exhibition. Making, A Life is an exhibition of the work of the Cumbrian Folk artist Peter Hodgson and collaborators. It includes pieces in diverse materials including ceramics, leather, horn, textiles, wood, print-making, writing and film. The exhibition re-appraises relationships between folk art, contemporary art, and design. While Hodgson operates from a rural position, he has influenced and built relationships with many artists associated with Grizedale Arts and the Coniston Institute, Cumbria. This exhibition shows some of these connections through collaboratively made works with a group of younger practitioners operating within the field of contemporary art. Hodgson grew up on a remote Lake District farm without electricity or running water. After learning leatherwork and saddlery locally, he began to make engraved glass, hand-painted tiles and ceramics, and paintings. His persistent theme remains his witty observations of the natural world, particularly the habits and characteristics of animals. Answering most questions by making; making what he needs, making for a living, making his world interesting and engaged, Hodgson shares an impulse with many other artists. Making, A Life includes artists, makers and designers who are actively learning from one another, particularly about how they understand the value of their work, and its potential role in society. Collaborators include; An Endless Supply; Fernando Garcia

Dory; Graham Taylor; Joe Hartley; Juneau Projects; Karen Guthrie; Laure Prouvost; Maria Benjamin and Tom Philipson. For the Middlesbrough iteration of this exhibition, a newly made piece, The Middlesbrough Quilt, will be shown. The handmade quilt has been crafted over many months by Cloth Club, a constituent group who meet to learn and share skills in textiles. This exhibition is made in partnership with The Coniston Institute; Grizedale Arts Cumbria, and Castlefield Gallery, Manchester. Supported by Arts Council England. Living Beyond Limits To be queer is to be erased from public space and to persist, nevertheless, in making yourself heard. This exhibition queers the museum by reclaiming it as a communal and political space within which marginal voices will not be silenced. Originally the term queer was used as an insult against lesbian, gay, bi and trans people - and still is in certain places. It was reclaimed in the 1990s by activists intent on challenging norms around gender and sexuality, rather than blend into society, in terms of identities and politics. Living Beyond Limits showcases works from the Middlesbrough Collection by artists whose life or work deviate from long-held norms around gender and sexuality. However, in this context, queerness is more than an identity marker. The focus of this show is political and activist, and it includes themes around racism, sexism and class inequalities. Through a programme of public workshops, discussions and zine making during 2018, Living Beyond Limits has been curated through open dialogue with local people and members of the local LGBTQIA+ community. These constituents have contributed to queered re-interpretations of works from the Middlesbrough Collection and offered perspectives related to their own identities and narratives. Curated with Claire Mead and MIMA constituents. Research grant funding provided by Fluxus Art Projects. The permanent Middlesbrough Collection presentation highlights the influence and use of art in the town. The exhibition is shaped through a dialogue with the community, and features works made by British and international artists in diverse media, including painting, ceramics, video, jewellery, drawing, sculpture and print. Encompassing art and craft from the mid1800s to the present day, the Middlesbrough Collection’s strengths are post–Second World War British painting, contemporary drawing from North and South Americas, twentieth-century British ceramics, European contemporary jewellery, and international contemporary installation. Director of MIMA, Laura Sillars comments; “Our new exhibitions take a wide look at the practice of everyday, highlighting the need to make art as a way of finding and expressing identity within society. It shows the importance of art as a meeting point for folk traditions, political activism, and the hybridity of contemporary British culture. The Middlesbrough Collection has a central role to play in our work. It tells the story of our shared culture, and we are using it as a tool for purposes of learning and community-focused initiatives.” MIMA’s ‘Useful Museum’ model, sees the institute work with a broad range of people from within communities across the area and works with pre-school children through to those living with dementia through a series of public programmes and activities.

Skelton Neighbourhood Action Partnership (SNAP)

ACTIONS TAKEN ON ISSUES RAISED AND UPDATES

 HGV WEIGHT SURVEYS, STATION ROAD, SKELTON. Acting on complaints about HGVs ignoring the weight restriction to access the industrial estate, a survey was carried out by the Police Survey Unit. Warnings were given to drivers of 7 vehicles in a 90minute period. Another survey and enforcement will be taking place.  POLICE BODY CAMS. The Police and Crime Commissioner is to be contacted to support Police Neighbourhood Team being equipped with body cams in the same way as Response Teams, thus providing evidence of incidents but also to ensure that early recording of incidents occurs. The Fire Service is to trial cameras and these cameras are able to record the previous 30 seconds of an incident. OVERGROWN VEGETATION ON PATH BETWEEN NORTH AND NEW SKELTON. Skelton and Brotton Parish Council which is responsible for this have agreed to deal with this problem. LITTER PROBLEM BELOW HEDGE, OLD RIDING SCHOOL, OPPOSITE STANGHOW LANE. This has now been dealt with. DEMENTIA AWARENESS. It is planned

SKELTON NAP FUNDING OF LOCAL PROJECTS  Friends of Skelton Old Church – Funerary hatchment project.  1st Skelton Guides – Ethiopia visit  Friends of Skelton Library – Events programme.  Skelton Bowls Club – Fencing project. The Friends of Skelton Old Church gave the welcome news that their Funerary hatchment project was now underway; they have now secured all the funds needed to complete all the hatchments. The Friends of Skelton Community Orchard are continuing to source funding for the miners statue at Cross Green. They have £5,500 raised through local support from residents and business and the Longacre pub is hosting a race night on 9th October in support of the project. A further £6,000 is needed to make sure the project takes place. POLICE REPORT Residents were reminded to report all incidents. This means the incidents will be

not be providing the funding needed The Council will now be meeting the cost. A list of work carried out so far was given, as well as a list of the future works to be carried out. The Bulls Head, North Skelton. Concerns were raised about the loss of this building and any subsequent rebuilding. The planning process was explained, pointing out that The Bulls Head was not a listed building so there was no requirement for it to be retained. The Council was working within Government guidelines.

Kevin Keay is stepping down as Bears co promoter

Redcar Bears Speedway

after two seasons in the hot seat

n his decision to step down Kevin said: "I'd like to thank the many fans who have sent messages wishing my wife and I well for the future. " We tried our best to move the club forward and gave it everything we had but when you feel you can do no more and the directors have a different agenda then it's time to stand aside. Let's just hope the club and the sport are able to make some positive moves very soon and Redcar has a very bright future. "I'd like to take the opportunity to thank the fans, the sponsors and the volunteers at the club for all their backing over the last two seasons and we wish the club and the fans all the best for the future." Bears fans are very sad to see Kevin go and many messages have been sent thanking him for his magnificent effort over his time at the club; Derek R. said: "Good luck in whatever you do Kevin, you did a super job at Redcar Bears Speedway, they will find you difficult to replace." Ken M. said: "You will be a massive miss a real privilege to know you All the very best."

From myself: " Kevin you were like a breath of fresh air at the club, you listened to everyone and kept everyone informed in a way we never had before. Not just Redcar but all of British speedway need promoters of your honesty and integrity. Good luck in your next project.

Meetings round up by John Gallon

ith the 2018 season now come to a close we can only hope that 2019 will see a revival in British speedway and that the chiefs in charge of the sport will take a wider look at promoting more effectively to get it out to a wider audience. Making changes that will actually help and not tinkering around with rules that confuse faithful supporters and do nothing to promote confidence and harmony. Speedway has everything the younger generation crave, spectacular fast moving action packed entertainment. We just need to get the message out there. As 9 year old Jake said after his first visit by winning a competition "When can I go again?" (Thanks for the "Thank You" card Jake) 27th Sept. Thursday's rearranged Teesside Silver Helmet meeting, sponsored by Agilia Infrastructure Ltd. had a line up of 16 riders including Australian

international star Sam Masters making a rare appearance on a Championship track. Sam went on to take the glory winning the Silver Helmet. The night was curtailed early however, after home favourite Ben Barker crashed in the final. He received treatment on the track for a suspected shoulder injury, and the meeting was then abandoned due to the time curfew. The positions were then decided on the points scored over the 5 rides, with Redcar's Thomas Jorgensen second and Aaron Summers third. Full line up;

1 Kevin Doolan, 2 Jordan Stewart 3 Kyle Howarth, 4 Kasper Andersen 5 Tero Aarnio, 6 Ulrich Østergaard 7 Thomas Jorgensen, 8 Paul Starke 9 Ben Barker, 10 David Howe 11 Aaron Summers, 12 Jye Etheridge 13 Sam Masters, 14 Rafal Konopka 15 Jacob Bukhave, 16 Charles Wright.

Most decorated British rider of all time

hile British speedway seems to be on a downward slide at home internationally the U.K. have just had a major boost in the form of Tai Woffinden; Tai won his third speedway world title recently to become the most decorated British rider of all time.The Englishman went into the final Grand Prix of the season in Poland

with a 10-point lead over his nearest rival, Poland's Bartosz Zmarzlik. Woffinden sealed the title when he won his semi-final, with Zmarzlik finishing third to miss out on the final. Victory adds to the 28-year-old's world titles in 2013 and 2015. "They say the hardest thing is being world champion - it's not. The hardest thing is being world champion the following year,"

said Woffinden. The English rider, who went on to win the final, crashed badly in heat 11 and said: "I injured my foot but I didn't want to say anything and make any excuses. I think I have a broken metatarsal. "Massive thanks to the hundreds of British fans who have travelled here - it means a lot."

Guisborough Rugby Club A

By Ian Hewson

fter the first month of the 20182019 season, Guisborough are finding it tough going in Yorkshire Division 1; their record reads: played five, lost five, but with a bit of luck they could have registered at least a couple of wins. The opening game against Pontefract saw the Priorymen narrowly lose an entertaining game of rugby by 32-26. The highlight of the game, in which the lead changed hands several times, was a hat trick of tries by winger Phil Shields. Sam Whyman also crossed the whitewash to earn his team a bonus point for scoring four tries. Travelling to Old Crossleyans for their next fixture, Guisborough dominated the game but found it difficult breaking down a well marshalled defence in front of them. Never with their noses in front throughout the match, tries were scored through Jack Robinson and Alex Ruff. However the hosts ran out winners by 20-14. Old Rishworthians were next to travel to Belmangate. Again, Guisborough were on the end of a narrow defeat. Racing into an early lead through tries by Adam O’Malley and Mark Ferguson, the Halifax outfit hit back to take a half-time lead. Two tries in the second half by Oli Taggart and Phil Shields put the Priorymen in front again, but a further score by Old Rishworthians was enough to give them victory by 27-24. Travelling to Keighley was next on

the agenda. Guisborough forwards dominated their opposition, and scored tries through two members of their pack, Rob Berriman and a brace by Liam Corcoran. Mark Ferguson also scored, but the home team backs were always dangerous and in the end were able to eek out a victory, Guisborough losing by 29-22. The final match of the month of September saw Guisborough entertain high-flying Beverley. It was the first match this season in which they were comprehensively beaten by their opposition. Scoring tries through Matthew Flint and Joe Whyman, they could not stop the visitors from running out worthy winners by 37-12. Guisborough have played entertaining rugby and can’t be too far away from registering their first win. And what better place to do it, than when they travel the short distance to play under the floodlights against derby rivals Middlesbrough on Friday 12th October. That is followed by a home game against Hullensians on 20th October. It would be great to see new faces, as well as old, come along to Belmangate to support local rugby! Hope to see you there. For anyone wishing to play, senior training is on a Tuesday and Thursday evening from 7.30pm. Junior training is on a Sunday morning. Contact the club for details of age groups (01287632966) and see website /www. pitchero.com/clubs/guisborough . Everyone is welcome.

The Norman Anderson Shield

By the Marske Owl

he annual Anderson Shield competition took place at Marske Cricket Club on Bank Holiday Sunday and was contested between teams from Marske Cricket Club, Marske United, The Frigate, The Ship Inn, The Mermaid and Caremore Services. The Ship, returning after a few years away from the competition, had a tough start against former winners Caremore Services. Good bowling kept Caremore’s score down but, despite some enthusiastic batting, failed to reach their opponents score of 85 for 6. Holders Marske United easily saw off Marske Cricket Club, who fielded a virtual full ladies team. Unfortunately, and to everyone’s disappointment, rain intervened and the continuation of the competition had to be postponed for 2 weeks. Sadly, during those two weeks, Norman Anderson, who with his wife Jean donated the shield in 1984, passed away. Norman was Secretary and Treasurer of Marske Cricket Club for a number of years and helped to make many decisions towards the Club’s progress. We send our sincere condolences to Norman’s family and friends. Upon resumption, The Frigate beat a very determined Ship Inn and The Mermaid beat a depleted Marske United team with a superb display of fielding. Caremore Services and The Frigate met to see who would contest the Final and an excellent game saw Caremore Services emerge as winners. The Mermaid went into the Final after winning their group with high hopes of putting their name on the Shield. Their hopes were dashed however as Caremore Services’ powerful batting reached an impressive total of 101 in their allotted 10 overs. This score being one of the very few occasions in the history of the competition that a team has scored 100 runs. In reply, The Mermaid started well but quickly collapsed to 25 for 6 and fell well short of their target giving Caremore Services their second competition win and the Shield was duly presented to their Captain Colin Moore. Thanks from the organisers go to Vic ‘Boris’ Jefferies and John Brooks for umpiring the games with panache and impartiality.

Guisborough unlucky to go out of FA Vase in replay against Runcorn–now league is priority

By Bill Perfitt

uisborough Town were narrowly knocked out of the FA Vase by North West Counties Premier League side Runcorn after a pulsating replay at the KGV Stadium on October 17. The Priorymen were beaten 4-2 after extra time in the replay against Runcorn – just four days after staging a superb comeback at Runcorn the previous Saturday, coming back from 3-1 down at half-time to draw 3-3 at the final whistle. It was a truly heroic display by a muchdepleted Guisborough side to earn that replay at the KGV - but sadly they just couldn’t quite complete the job on the night in front of a healthy crowd of 244. The eventual 4-2 scoreline, however, flattered the Cheshire side because despite trailing 3-2 deep into the

●● Sheer delight for Guisborough Town’s Brad Mills (fourth from right) who is mobbed by his team-mates after scoring against Runcorn in the FA Vase. Picture kind courtesy of Dan Clark

second half of extra time Guisborough had been pressing hard to take the tie to penalties when virtually with the last kick of the game Stuart McDonald scored Runcorn’s fourth goal to seal victory. The win for Runcorn earned them a plum derby battle against Vauxhall Motors in the Second Round of the FA Vase while Guisborough now need to focus their efforts back to the league and pulling clear of the relegation zone. Despite the obvious disappointment of the Vase defeat, however, Guisborough’s gallant players could hold their heads high after competing so fiercely and bravely against Runcorn over the two ties. Guisborough have had more than their fair share of injuries so far this season, and for the trip to Runcorn they were forced to put out a makeshift side missing five

or six regulars but they put up an terrific performance, It was right back Brad Mills who proved the hero, scoring two superb goals in the second half to pull the Priorymen back to 3-3 after they had trailed at half-time. Guisborough had fallen behind after only 11 minutes when Runcorn took the lead through Shaun Weaver. But the Priorymen hit back to equalise in the 32nd minute when striker Anthony Hume curled a beauty into the top corner from the edge of the Runcorn penalty area. Runcorn then hit back strongly with two more goals to lead 3-1 at half-time and give the Priorymen a mountain to climb in the second half. However, Guisborough refused to throw the towel in and came back strongly with two brilliant goals from full back Mills,

who had a fine all-round game apart from his goal-scoring heroics. Mills’ strong runs down the right flank from out of defence had caused Runcorn problems throughout the game and it was his energy that twice got him into goalscoring positions in the 55th and 77th minutes. The 77th minute goal was a particularly memorable one, with Mills producing a great run and low shot which arrowed into the far right hand corner of the goal,

Fierce Roberts shot hits bar

Guisborough almost won the tie two minutes later when winger Steve Roberts, making a welcome return following a broken nose, cut in from the right and hit a fierce shot which hit the underside of the Runcorn bar and bounced clear, In the 30 minutes of extra time Guisborough finished the stronger but it finished level at 3-3 and with no penalty shoot-out the tie went to the replay at the KGV. In the replay, Runcorn were the first team to draw blood when they took the lead with a well-taken goal from the highly impressive Harry Brazel, shooting home from the edge of the box into the bottom corner. Guisborough roared back to equalise in the 39th minute when Brad Mills crossed smartly to the far post where Anthony

Hume finished well to make the score 1-1. But just a minute before half-time Runcorn centre forward Shaun Weaver scored a superb solo goal – cutting right across the Guisborough penalty area from right to left before slotting home just inside the left hand post to hand his side a 2-1 lead at half-time. In a hugely entertaining end-to-end cup time with both sets of players producing a superb, high-octane contest Guisborough drew level for the fourth time over the two ties when a surging attack saw Mark Robinson level the scores at 2-2. Both teams had chances to win the tie but once again it went into extra time and only five minutes after the first period began Runcorn’s big centre forward Shaun Weaver scored his second goal and his side’s third when a defensive Guisborough went straight to Weaver who headed home. Guisborough had several opportunities to equalise and possibly send the tie to penalties but alas it wasn’t to be and then right at the death McDonald found himself one on one with Guisborough goalkeeper Jordan Nixon and the Runcorn sub scored with ease. Guisborough now need to revert their attentions back to the Northern League Division One where they desperately need to get some points in the bag to climb clear of the relegation zone.

Whitby Town Round up

By Andrew Snaith

he Blues are currently mid-table in the EvoStik Northern Premier League Premier Division. A difficult month has seen them end a run of one win in five with a 2-1 home victory over Bamber Bridge on Saturday 6th October. Junior Mondal netted his third goal inside the opening five minutes of a game to put Chris Hardy's men ahead. Alistair Waddecar, one of the leading scorers in the NPL, like Mondal, levelled with a spectacular strike from the edge of the box. However, Dale Hopson's 79th minute penalty grabbed a vital three points for Town, despite the visitors twice hitting the Whitby woodwork before the break. The Seasiders then performed well at home to Warrington, on the following Tuesday. The table toppers edged home unfortunately with a late second half goal as Town saw a strong Mondal penalty claim turned down. The match was probably best

remembered for Blues midfielder Jimmy Beadle's wayward effort that loudly smashed a window behind the Sea End goal. The incident featured on SKY's Soccer AM programme. Blues then travelled to Marine for a hard-fought 0-0 draw. Town defended well but missed the few good chances they created on Merseyside. The Mariners had sub David Webb sent off midway through the second period but Whitby still couldn't find the breakthrough. Meanwhile, Town now know they will visit rivals Scarborough Athletic for the second time this season, in the Integro Doodson Sport League Cup Second Round. The Tuesday night game is likely to see segregation and a police presence, after some disorder in the league clash between the sides, last August. The Blues have signed centre-half Toby Lees, brother of Leeds United's Tom Lees on a month's loan from Conference high-flyers Harrogate Town. Chris Hardy has also brought back midfielder Lewis

Maloney, on a similar deal with another top tier nonLeague club, Gateshead, who he joined from the Blues, in the summer. Going in the opposite direction are defender Paul Roddam, who has joined Thornaby, as well as midfielder Nathan Parnaby and striker Carl Lawson who have moved to Guisborough Town. The Blues now know they will host NPL Premier rivals Witton Albion in the FA Trophy First Qualifying Round on Saturday 27th October, with £3,250 at stake. The Cheshire side have already won at the Turnbull Ground, this season, so will present a serious test for Hardy's boys.

Marske United's success continues By Mark Hathaway

arske’s first foray into Step 4 football continues to go well, with the club still in the upper echelons of the Evo-Stik Division 1 East table and through to the 2nd round of the Integro League Cup. Marske faced Evo-Stik Premier League team, and former FA Trophy winners, North Ferriby United in the 1st Round of the Integro League and despite going a goal behind following a mistake from Andy May, the Seasiders ran out 3-1 winners. Marske drew level thanks to an early goal of the season contender from recent signing Damien Stevens, who controlled a long ball forward and without the ball hitting the ground lobbed the Ferriby keeper from 20 yards. The second half was all one-way traffic with Marske taking the lead from a Craig Gott penalty after Jamie Owens was fouled. It was game over on 80 minutes when Marske added a third with another superb goal, this time from Jamie Owens who curled a peach of a shot into the top corner with the outside of his foot. Marske’s reward for the victory is a trip to Sheffield FC on Tuesday 30th October. Next up, Stamford were the visitors to Mount Pleasant, for what promised to be another tough game. With Jamie Owens unavailable, Marske secured the loan signing of Spennymoor Town winger, and former Stockton Town player, Kevin Hayes on a 28 day loan. Hayes went straight into the starting eleven but, yet again, Marske went a goal behind and found themselves having to fight their way back into the game. But, as with the North Ferriby game, the players don’t know when their beaten and 2 goals in the last 16 minutes earned Marske the 3 points that they perhaps didn’t deserve. First, a Butterworth header was pushed onto the post by the Stamford keeper but Callum Martin was on hand to slot home the rebound from a tight angle. With just over 10 minutes remaining, it was 2-1 when Josh Rowbotham headed home at the far post for his

●● Liam Watson won a national award as Mentor of the Year and was presented with his award by Paula Radcliffe. ●● Matty Waters first goal in a Marske United shirt. Immediately after the game, Marske announced that title winner Leon Carling was free to leave the club and the centre back joined Shildon in the Northern League a few days later. Marske would like to place on record it’s appreciation to Leon for his efforts during 2 spells at Mount Pleasant. The following Tuesday, Marske welcomed North Yorkshire rivals Tadcaster Albion to Mount Pleasant and yet again found themselves having to come back from a goal down, this time in even more dramatic fashion. Tadcaster took the lead early in the second half when a low, accurate effort from Lamin Colley nestled into the bottom corner. On this occasion, Marske had to wait even later to draw level, with Owens heading home a corner on 78 minutes. The winner came just into injury time when substitute Stevens beat the offside trap, controlled the pass in an instant and fired past Tadcaster keeper Michael Ingham, meaning Marske snatched 3 points for the second game in a row, points that they perhaps didn’t deserve. Next up was the 6th longest journey of the season and a trip to Derbyshire to face Belper Town. Marske had been boosted by the signing of Shildon

striker Matty Waters, but the player had to be satisfied with a place on the bench. The home side got off to the prefect start with a world class 25 yard strike from Pitou Crouz but Marske fought their way back into the game too be level at half time thanks to a Jamie Owens header. It got even better for the Seasiders after the break when Curtis Round raced into the box to finish well and when the home side were reduced to 10 men with 25 minutes to go, Marske’s tails were up. However, an unmarked Alex Peterson headed home from a corner and the game could have gone either way with Crouz striking the post before Marske were denied a penalty in injury time when a Belper player appeared to handle the ball from a shot from Gott. The following Wednesday Marske made the relatively short journey to face Pontefract Collieries, a team who had also been promoted at the end of the previous season. Marske manager Carl Jarrett sprung a surprise by leaving Gott out of the starting line up as Waters linked up with Owens up front. In a frantic start, Marske could have been 4-0 up in the opening 5 minutes as Butterworth, Round, Hayes and Owens all had chances but were unable to score. It was the home side who took the lead on 25 minutes when

Marske keeper pushed a left wing cross into the path of Jack Greenhough who made no mistake from 12 yards. However, Marske were quickly level when Waters played a lovely ball into the path of the onrushing Round, who coolly finished past Potefract keeper Ryan Musselwhite. The second half saw Marske largely dominate but the game ended 1-1, with Owens missing two clear-cut chances in the last 5 minutes. Next up was Marske’s first foray into the FA Trophy, a competition for clubs at the first 4 steps of the Non-League pyramid, with the likes of Leyton Orient, Chesterfield, Hartlepool United and Gateshead joining the competition at a later round. Marske’s first opponents were Atherton Collieries, who sat in 2nd place in the Evo-Stik Division 1 West. In difficult conditions, thanks to the wind from Storm Callum, the players from both sides served up a highly entertaining game, which ended with a moment of real controversy. On Non-League Day, if front of a bumper crowd of 292, Marske took the lead when Atherton were unable to clear a Liam O’Sullivan corner and Adam Wheatley slotted home from inside the 6 yard box. However, by half time, Marske were 2-1 down; first Chay Liddle fouled Gaz Peet in the area and Ben Hardcastle slotted home the resulting penalty past Marske goalkeeper coach, Liam Watson, who was standing in as Robert Dean, Lewis McDonald and new signing Dan Molyneux were all unavailable for various reasons. With their tails up, Atherton made it 2-1 on 38 minutes when Vincent Bailey slalomed through the Marske defence and curled a low shot past Watson. Marske made a change at half time with Round replacing Liddle which meant a change in formation from 3-52 to 4-4-2 and it worked a treat with Round a constant thorn in the side of the Atherton defence on the left hand side. It was 2-2 on 64 minutes when Waters set up Gott who waited for the keeper to commit himself and curled

a low shot into the bottom corner. The turn around was complete on 78 minutes when Round raced down the left and squared the ball to Waters who fired home from 8 yards. However, there was one last sting in the tail for the home side. Referee Mark Ryan awarded Atherton a penalty for a foul by substitute Brad Plant on Gaz Peet, despite the incident occurring a yard outside of the penalty area. Once again, Hardcastle stepped up to take the penalty and Watson pulled off an excellent save. However, the loose ball fell to Daniel Lambert who fired into the roof of the net to earn Atherton a replay. Replay result - Atherton Collieries 0-1 Marske United Gott (pen 66') Marske progress on a tense night in Lancashire. They will now be away to Cleethorpes Town in the next round on Saturday 27th October. Off the field, there have been several pieces of excellent news. First, goalkeeper coach Liam Watson won a national award as Mentor of the Year at the annual We Are Coach Core awards ceremony and was presented with his award by Paula Radcliffe.

hitby Town Football Club chairman Graham Manser has announced that he will step down after thirty years with the club, calling in a new era at the Turnbull Ground. The outgoing chairman will leave the club with immediate effect, and has identified business people, entrepreneurs and professionals in the local area to take the club forward. Taking over from Graham in the capacity of acting chairman will be Eddie McNamee. Eddie is a former Whitby Town player and a popular person not just at the Turnbull Ground, but in the wider community. He also has a proven track record in the community, working with charities and the club itself to raise vital funds. Recognising the need for change, Graham Manser said: “It became apparent to me that

the club needed a new vision, new ideas and new vitality. I decided therefore that it was time for me to hang up my boots and stand down as chairman. “I totally support all the new ideas that are being suggested and I must stress that I am not walking away from the club, I am just taking a back seat and I will be more than happy to assist the new Chairman when requested. “Due to an unforeseen personal issue, I am standing down with immediate effect and Eddie McNamee will take over as acting chairman. “I would like to thank everyone who has helped the club in my time as chairman. Without this assistance the club could not have functioned.” The club has called a meeting of its full members, next week, to discuss the ways forward for the club. Graham Manser took over as chairman of the club in July 1994, taking over from Bob Scaife

Snr, having been involved since 1988. During his reign, the club has reached the highest level that it has ever played at, the Northern Premier League, where it has remained since 1998, and has won nine trophies. Arguably the biggest achievement of his 25year chairmanship is that of winning the FA Vase at Wembley in 1997, unifying the town in celebration. The club has also won three North Riding Senior Cups, the most recent in 2016-17 season, the Northern League, Northern Premier League Division 1 North, the Northern League Cup and the JR Cleator Cup twice. Whitby Town Football Club would like to thank Graham for his contribution and dedication to the club during his time involved, along with his wife Jackie, who has contributed significantly to help out in the clubhouse, canteen and Patron’s Lounge.

The charity is now in its 22nd year and is run by a board of ten experienced Trustees from across different industries, with representation from the football club and external organisations.

We have worked on a number of educational projects at Freebrough Academy, as well as introducing the Premier League Kicks project, which offers free coaching sessions to local children, to the Lingdale, Skelton and Loftus areas. Helena Bowman, Head of MFC Foundation said: “There is a lot of great support for Middlesbrough Football Club in East Cleveland, and we are very keen to increase our engagement within the local community. “We have already started delivering some of our sessions in the area, and we hope to see that increase over the coming months.”
