SCARBOROUGH, Filey and Whitby are to lose their free winter parking in most council carparks, if councillors have their way. It is being proposed to charge a nominal sum of £1 per day to begin with, although it is feared it will go up later. Some members of Scarborough Council’s parking working group say the extra revenue will help finance a residents’ concession for using the carparks. However, at least two group members are unhappy with the plan and claim they were excluded from the decision-making process. Cllr Janet Jefferson says: “We weren’t even invited, never mind consulted, to the meeting where it was decided,

on 3 May”. The excluded councillors have called the decision in, which means they have registered an official complaint and called for adjudication. They say: “We ask that the decision of the leisure portfolio holder [group chair Cllr Andrew Jenkinson] be taken to the scrutiny board, the parking working group and full council for ratification as the proposals are financial and could be very detrimental to both our residents and the borough economy. “Apart from certain cabinet members, only a couple of group members attended”, the councillors state. “We feel resident car-parking concessions should not be introduced at the cost of losing free winter parking … [which] is essential

to our tourism economy, enabling many attractions and facilities to remain open all year round, thereby maintaining 12-month employment for residents”. The winter charge could “put additional demand on on-street parking spaces throughout the borough … for which, in many cases, residents are now paying £30 a year”. Cllr Jefferson added: “It’s not so much the cost, it’s the principle”. The charge will be applied at most but not all council carparks. The ones it will apply to include Marine Drive, Northstead Upper, Scalby Mills, Victoria Park in Scarborough and Country Park, Station Avenue, Church Ravine and Coble Landing in Filey. The call-in will be discussed by the scrutiny board on 4 July.

Sea King helicopter is being turned into a café Words and photos by Dave Barry AN ENORMOUS ex-RAF helicopter which plucked people from the sea off Scarborough is being turned into a café. The Sea King chopper - 20 metres long - is languishing in a former breakers yard just out of town. After the RAF decommissioned it in 2015, it was bought by a private helicopter company which stripped it for spares and sent the fusillage to an MoD auction in Grantham in January last year. Scarborough businessman Ben Stonehouse happened to be in the area at the time, organising a drive-in cinema in Peterborough, 36 miles down the A1. “It was a fluke that I came across it”, says Ben. “I wasn't looking for it”. The yellow hulk was valued at between £20,000 and £30,000 but Ben got it for much less after submitting what turned out to be the highest bid. It was in a much worse state than it is now. Ben says he has spent about £30,000 on parts, including rotor blades, landing gear, a gearbox, panels and windows. Some of the blades will be turned into bench seats. His dream is to transform the shell into a café and find both a seafront location and a sympathetic ear in the town hall. “Anywhere with a coastal view, overlooking one of the bays, would be good”, says Ben, who is planning to spend the whole of July getting the old Sea King ship-shape, so to speak. He says it will seat 12 inside, although the capacious interior looks as if it could easily accommodate more. People sitting outside will be served from the hatch. The kitchen will be in the tail end. Ideally, he envisages the helicopter sitting on a platform similar to those used on oilrigs, beyond the reach of anyone inclined to climb over it when it’s closed. Ben, who is from Scarborough, has always been interested in helicopters and is training to be a commercial helicopter pilot at Helicentre Aviation near Leicester. He describes his Sea King café plan as “a very personal project”. In its former life, the helicopter, identified by its unique RAF code XZ598, was based at RAF Leconfield and used to rescue people at sea, in conjunction with the RNLI - which Ben has just joined, as a trainee crew member. Ben is funding his project through his day job. His firm, Moonlight Cinema, runs two permanent drive-in cinema sites in Castleford and Kent, and about 80 individual pop-up cinemas around the country. * Photo with thanks to Ben’s RNLI colleagues Frank Wright and Rob Gaunt.

Futurist is disappearing fast Words and photos by Dave Barry WORKERS in bodysuits and respiratory masks have been carefully removing asbestos panels one at a time from the Futurist Theatre. Fascinated onlookers have been ogling the large site from two vantage points, on Foreshore Road and Providence Place, off Blands Cliff. The distinguished old theatre, the country’s 13th largest outside London, is disappearing fast. Working from north to south, contractors Willmott Dixon first demolished the Mermaid pub, behind which was the theatre’s backstage area including dressing rooms. Inside the main building, over 1,000 tons of cement has been poured into huge moulds to create a concrete buttress to stop the land behind the Futurist slipping. “This weight will form support to the lower

slope prior to us constructing the main retaining wall”, says a company spokesperson. “We have around 300 tons remaining to pour in order to complete the pre-demolition works”. Demolition was held up by three weeks when more asbestos was discovered. All the asbestos has now been removed from the interior but much more has to be stripped from the roof and walls. The front wall, with the original marble façade, has been covered by a scaffold-screen. “This is upsetting residents and visitors”, according to Cllr Janet Jefferson, who fought to retain the theatre. At one point, the demolition revealed a huge iron safety panel which hung behind the black stage curtain to stop a fire spreading; the mechanism used to raise and lower the panel, the curtain and the background scenery; and a large sheet of blue tarpaulin, placed just under

the roof to catch rain leaking through. The contractors say kittiwakes, a protected species, have been prevented from nesting on the building. Blands Cliff and King Street have been reopened to pedestrians. Willmott Dixon say the demolition is due to be completed by the end of August. Heavily protected workers remove asbestos (to order photos ring 353597)

The demolition crew has started dismantling the marble facade and it won’t be long before the dark red iron safety curtain is removed, allowing daylight into the stalls for possibly the first time in the building’s history

Night walkers greet sunrise on Midsummer’s Day Words and photo by Dave Barry

The nocturnal ramblers at sunrise on Oliver’s Mount (to order photos ring 353597)

BY THE light of a silvery half-moon - and a few headtorches - 13 people walked 12 miles to Oliver’s Mount in time to see the sun rise on Midsummer’s Day. They were on Yorkshire Coast Long-Distance Walkers Association’s first nocturnal walk. They met in the north bay at 11pm and walked north to Scalby Mills, then up to the Ivanhoe, crossing the road into Hillcrest Avenue. They ambled up to the old railway line then into the Newby Farm estate and along the sea cut to Raincliffe woods. They paused in the twilight for a drink and sandwich; but not for long as it was chilly. They needed their torches at the top of Forge Valley because of the trees and as they passed GCHQ, when clouds covered the moon. Nobody at the high-security wireless station mistook them for terrorists. Then they climbed the ridge and walked along Racecourse Road, heading for the caravan site at the back of Edgehill. They passed the mere and walked up Oliver’s Mount. Laughing and joking, they returned to Oasis

along a more direct route, via the South Cliff. “It’s been the perfect night for it”, said Trev Daniel, who suggested the night-walk. Trev, born and bred in Scarborough, is a seasoned walker and has done “a few hundreds”, meaning 100-mile walks. The following walks have been organised for the coming month.

Scarborough Rambling Club 1 July: a 10-mile walk at Thixendale and an eight-mile walk at Hornsea Mere. 8 July: a 10-mile walk from the Flask to Robin Hood’s Bay (bus back to the Flask) and an eight-mile walk at Fridaythorpe. 15 July: a 10-mile walk at Bridestones and an eight-mile walk at Troutsdale. 22 July: a 10-mile walk at Danby and an eight-mile walk at Robin Hood’s Bay. Long walks: meet at Hanover Road at 9am. Short ones: meet at Falsgrave Clock at 10.30am. Yorkshire Coast LongDistance Walkers Association 1 July: a 15-mile walk starting at the roadside carpark near the Lion Inn at Blakey (grid ref SE683989) at 9am. 7 July: a 13-mile walk starting at Sheriff Hutton crossroads (grid ref SE650663) at 9am. 15 July: a 16-mile walk starting near the school in Burton Agnes (TA101632) at 9am. 21 July: a 15-mile walk starting outside the public toilets in Ravenscar (NZ980015) at 9am. The LDWA welcomes new members who can try a couple of walks first before joining. Ring 368932.

Home Office accused of profiteering Words and photos by Dave Barry THE Home Office was accused of profiteering at a regional conference of Amnesty International in Scarborough. To register a child as a UK citizen costs £1,012, yet the ministerial department which makes the charge admits the process costs only £372, a speaker said. The difference is clear profit, said Holly Shorey of the Children’s Human Rights Network (CHRN), adding that it is tantamount to profiteering. CHRN, which campaigns on behalf of children all over the world, was also represented by Juliane Thorbjørnsen and Sena Atici. The conference, at the Friends Meeting House, was attended by about 50 activists from North Yorkshire and the north-east. They heard Amnesty’s trade-union campaigner, Shane Enright, speak about the state of human rights around the world. And they attended action workshops run by Rhiannon Griffiths, coordinator of Amnesty’s Japan section; Amnesty’s community

Crime equals time for burglar A MAN who burgled his neighbours admonished them for making his criminal work easy, in Scarborough. Paul Ludford, 47, implied it was the victims’ fault he was in their property, as they had left their back door unlocked. When confronted by his shocked neighbours, Ludford left, with a mobile phone and charger in his pockets. The Albemarle Crescent residents described Ludford to the police, who arrested him and recovered the stolen items. Ludford was jailed for two years and four months at York crown court. The burglary was investigated by detective constable David Adams of the police’s serious-crime team. He said: “Burglary is an abhorrent crime which seriously affects both the victims and the wider community. “To walk uninvited into someone’s home, steal their property and then have the audacity to remonstrate with them about leaving a door insecure, gives an idea of the complete disregard Ludford had towards his victims. "We hope this sentence sends a message to

Doing time: Paul Ludford offenders intent on committing offences like this. If you are prepared to commit crime, be prepared for doing some serious time behind bars”. * In the photo supplied by the police, Ludford appears injured. He is thought to have been assaulted a few days before he burgled his neighbours.

Summer beach cleans return

A GROUP of volunteers is preparing to clean Scarborough’s south beach after the visitors have gone home every evening during summer. They are appealing for more litter collectors to join them. Organiser Kate Evans says: “We all know by now that our oceans are in peril because of the amount of plastic waste ending up in them. “It is sometimes easy to feel helpless in front of the truly mind-boggling statistics, but

here in Scarborough we are doing something about it. And you can join us”. The merry band of volunteers take it in turns to clean the south beach every evening during the school holidays, from 23 July to 2 September. It only takes an hour on one evening during the six weeks to make a difference. Kate says: “If you can volunteer more time, that’s great, but one hour is enough”. n To get involved, email kateevans@ tinyonline.co.uk.

Whales come to Scarborough for a summer holiday MINKE whales are arriving in the sea off Scarborough’s Marine Drive. They usually turn up off the Yorkshire coast in June and stay until mid-October. Minkes are the smallest and most abundant of the baleen whales, although still a big animal at 7-11m. They have a slender, pointed, triangular head with a central ridge. The dorsal fin is relatively tall and sickle-shaped, nearly two-thirds of the way along the back. The head and body are dark grey to black but with grey areas or chevrons on the flanks and a distinctive

diagonal white band on the flippers. They are in the area because they are following their food on an annual journey around the North Sea. They eat small fish such as sand eel, mackerel and herring, by swallowing huge mouthfuls of sea water and straining them out. For further information on dolphin, porpoise and whale sightings, check out the Scarborough Porpoise Facebook and Twitter pages and the Sea Watch Foundation website or send an email to scarboroughporpoise@ btinternet.com.

People with dementia are “at the bottom of the heap” - MP told Words and photos by Dave Barry CARERS told Scarborough’s MP about the struggles they face in getting care for loved ones living with dementia, at a public meeting. “Families are too often at breaking point, trying to find specialist dementia care”, said Tim Kirkup, who chairs Scarborough Dementia Action Alliance. “Soaring costs mean that people often have to sell their homes to fund the care they need. This simply doesn’t happen if you have cancer or diabetes. “Until the Government recognises dementia as a serious terminal illness, it’s hard not to feel that those with the disease lie at the bottom of the heap”. MP Robert Goodwill responded by saying that an extra £2 billion had been secured for health and social-care needs, and that he hoped a green paper this summer would address some of the issues the alliance had brought to his attention. He argued that people should be prepared to pay towards their care needs.

Alliance member Mike Padgham said: “The current, unfair, system cannot be allowed to go on. The purpose of the meeting was to make him aware of that”. Last month the Alliance asked Jeremy Hunt to meet them to see the hardship and strain the current situation places on people with dementia and their carers. A letter to the health and social care secretary said: “People who live with dementia struggle to gain financial support for their care – whether it is in their own home or in a care home. Many face the heartbreak of selling their own home, to pay for the care they need. This cannot be right or fair. We are asking that those who live with dementia do not face the further hardship of struggling to fund their care”. The meeting was held at the Stephen Joseph Theatre. n For more information on the alliance, ring 500958. n See letter on page 31.

Free workshops at learning festival Words and photo by Dave Barry JANE Potter had been toying with the idea of researching her family tree for many years. But work - and life - kept getting in the way. So when More Than Books library in Eastfield offered a free introduction to genealogy, she couldn’t resist. Jane, née Fountain, is originally from Harrogate and was keen to see how far back she could trace her lineage. She met Anna Hutchinson, the library assistant who ran the workshop, and volunteer Dorothy Thomson, who showed Jane how to get going on the websites Ancestry and Find my Past. All local libraries have access to the Times from 1992 and a range of local newspapers via newspaper group Newsquest. Users can also access 19th century papers via the British Library database which is “fantastic for local history research”, according to More Than Books supervisor Rebecca Williams. The workshop was part of a week-long

Festival of Learning at various libraries. Coordinated by the National Learning and Work Institute and supported by the Department for Education, it set out to inspire people of all ages to have a go at learning something new. Besides the genealogy workshop, More Than Books offered a tablet awareness session; a four-week course on local myths, legends and folktales; an embroidery, drawing and stitching workshop with artist Serena Partridge; and family-crafts sessions making mobile phone covers and pom-pom key rings. Scarborough library ran sessions on IT, computers and the internet, family history, French, Italian, British sign language, computer coding, collage, fitness and painting. All courses were free. n Some library resources can be accessed via www.northyorks.gov.uk / librariesonline-information-resources.

Children take up the cycling baton for Yorkshire Words and photos by Dave Barry PUPILS from 10 Scarborough schools took part in a Yorkshire-wide baton-relay event aimed at getting more children on bikes. They carried a gold baton along the old railway track and into town, culminating under the Wykeham Street bridge, where the track ends. The young cyclists were from St Martin’s, Newby & Scalby, Hackness, St Peter’s, Northstead and Braeburn primary schools; Scalby, Graham and Pindar secondary schools; and the University Technical College. They were greeted by the borough mayor, Cllr Joe Plant, town crier David Birdsall and a large contingent of pupils from nearby Gladstone Road School. The Schools’ Yorkshire Tour has been developed by 12 Yorkshire local authorities including North Yorkshire County Council, in partnership with Sustrans, the sustainable transport charity. The aim is to encourage more young people from primary, secondary and special schools to take up cycling by promoting it as a fun and cool mode of transport. The goal is to increase the number of pupils

cycling safely to school and promote an active lifestyle while improving air quality and reducing congestion outside schools. Pupils from 162 schools throughout Yorkshire cycled 400 miles and passed through Whitby, Scarborough, Flamborough, York, Doncaster, Rotherham, Sheffield, Barnsley, Wakefield, Kirklees, Bradford and Calderdale. County councillors David Jeffels, who represents Seamer and Derwent Valley, and Derek Bastiman, the member for Scalby and the coast, funded T-shirts and plimsoll bags for the children taking part, from their locality budgets. Cllr Jeffels said: “The schools’ cycle baton relay is an exciting event for young people, building on the great success of the Tour de Yorkshire. It not only gives them an opportunity to enjoy the spectacular scenery of North Yorkshire, but encourages more young people to take up cycling as a great sport and an excellent way of keeping fit. I’m delighted to have been able to help support what I am sure will be an outstanding event, which I hope will become an annual feature of North Yorkshire’s sporting calendar”.

Hundreds enjoy dragon-boat races near Wykeham Words and photos by Dave Barry OVER 800 people watched and competed in the eighth annual dragon-boat races at Wykeham lakes. On a hot day, in bright sunshine, 21 teams of 16 thrashed it out on the open water. Each team took part in two timed heats. Based on the heat times, the teams were divided into gold and silver divisions for a third round. The fastest four teams in each division went into the gold or silver final. Last year’s winning team returned to take the gold cup again. Wold Top Warriors led from the start and won by a clear margin. Willows Lull, competing for the first time, and St

Helen’s in the Park, came second and third in the gold final. Scarborough Anglo-Filipino Association won the closely-fought silver final, beating Cirrus Research and YH Training. The races are organised by the Rotary Club of Scarborough Cavaliers. Spokesman John Bradley said: “Whilst we enjoy the activities of the day, we recognise the needs of those less fortunate than ourselves. Since 2011, competing paddlers, through personal sponsorship from friends, work colleagues and relations, have raised over £70,000 for the charities of their boat sponsors’ choice and local causes supported by Rotary”.

The trophies and medals, supplied by Dragon Boat Events Ltd, were presented to the winning teams by club president Chris Case. The other teams which entered this year’s races were Asquith & Co, Maude’s Marauders, YMCA (two), Kingfishers swimming club, Foxy Ladies, William’s Sea Wyverns, Barrowcliff Belles, Slammers, McCain, Pinkney Grunwell, Springhead School, 739 Squadron ATC, Scarborough College, Sniper Fitness, Whitby Warriors and Sash. * Chris Case will be succeeded as club president by Tony Stevens on 11 July.

Afternoon tea for a hundred Words and photo by Dave Barry ABOUT 100 members of Scarborough & District Older People’s Forum had afternoon tea at the Royal Hotel to celebrate the group’s 20th anniversary. The forum was launched in 1988 under the auspices of the Better Government for Older People initiative. Such forums are increasingly important to ensure that older people have their say in the face of decreasing local government finances and services and to combat loneliness and isolation in later life. Audrey Cooke, who chairs the forum, said: “Our aims are to facilitate healthy independence in old age, to identify the needs of older people in a rapidly changing society and to prevent or alleviate social isolation. “Our objectives are to inform and update people about local social care and help, to identify and support campaigns for local national issues, to be a forum for the exchange of views and to organise a programme of regular social events”. The group has nearly 200 members; 80-90

Scarecrow festival returns to Muston OVER 100 scarecrows will take over Muston during its annual scarecrow festival, from 28 July to 5 August. The festival usually attracts thousands of people from throughout the UK and overseas. Scarecrows are placed all around the village on pavements and roofs, in gardens and hedges and on open spaces such as the village green and grass verges. At recent festivals, visitors have come face to face with a diverse range of scarecrows including an ET version of the Tour de France Grand Départ, characters from the BBC children’s programme How to Train your Dragon, the Eurovision Song Contest, Conchita Wurst, Mrs Brown’s Boys, stars of the BBC drama The Musketeers and the Queen enjoying a birthday tea party on the village green with other members of the royal family. The scarecrows can be viewed each day of the festival from 9am until 9pm apart from the last day, when it will close at 5pm. Cllr Godfrey Allanson, one of the organisers, said: “We always know when the scarecrow festival is just around the corner when we see exceptional levels of activity in the village as the community works hard to prepare to welcome thousands of visitors. “The villagers are busy behind closed doors working on their show-stopping scarecrows, keeping their plans secret right up until the last minute”. Visitors can enter a competition to guess the first, second and third placed scarecrows. The nearest correct answer to the judges’ decision will win a cash prize. The judge will be MP Kevin Hollinrake. More information can be found at www. mustonscarecrowfestival.com and on Facebook.

Caring for carers at Saint Catherine’s SAINT Catherine’s in Scarborough cares for many carers, supporting them through what can be difficult, challenging - but often precious - times. Via staff working across all the hospice’s services, home-carers can access expert information regarding the support which is available to them – financial, practical and emotional. A new booklet hospice, Helpful Information for Carers, is full of useful information, tips and guidance. It has been written by John Gready, who is based at the hospice. It has a summary of hospice services, how to access them, guidance for carers on how to look after themselves and their loved ones, nutrition, sleep, etc. The hospice hopes it will help carers navigate what can sometimes feel like a confusing set of circumstances. Time Out, Saint Catherine’s carer-support group, meets on the third Wednesday of every month to chat and share experiences. Here are stories from three people whose partners have terminal diagnoses, about their lives as carers.

Carer 1

When I became a carer, there was no planning, no training, and little choice. I was thrown into the situation and it is now there every moment of my life. It’s been a huge learning curve and the situation is always changing and I am always learning. It dominates my life and I have had to put all other interests and activities aside. The feelings of isolation can be big. My wife has had multiple sclerosis for 44 years. I am her main carer. There has been a gradual decline in her condition over the years but the last six months have seen a significant decline and a real change in our lives. I have been thrown in at the deep end and given very little preparation. Physically, the decline has meant that she is in bed every day, mainly sleeping, but she gets up every other day for three hours. On the day she gets up, we make the most of it and enjoy lunch together. Carers from a home-care provider come in three times a day to help make her comfortable, attending to her personal needs and supporting me. They cost us £950 a month. There are things I have deal with, that happen with her bowels, and I never expected to have

to do that. I have had to learn to replace her dressings. I do this 24/7. It is my life. Recently, things got to me a little and my family suggested I take a short break. I am going away for four days to see my brother and some friends. My daughter will come in and look after my wife while I am away. We have a lot of friends who are enjoying retirement, going on holiday and doing interesting things. I always thought we would do that. We don’t. But that doesn’t matter. It has shown me a new perspective. It has enhanced who I am. It has shown me how much I love her. I come to the Time Out group so I can spend time with other carers and ask questions. They have made me feel supported and it has become like a family to me.

Carer 2

Our lives were perfectly normal until a few months ago. I arrived home and found my wife in agony on the bed. She’s had two major operations and our lives have changed beyond recognition. I have become my wife’s main carer. I don’t need a Fitbit to tell me how bad my sleep is. We are up many times during the night. I have had so much support from Saint Catherine’s. Recently, my wife came in for respite in the carer support bed which allowed me to take a break. It was great to be able to get away, knowing she was well cared for. We have had help with applying for an attendance allowance and been given a blue badge for parking and lots of other practical support. My wife has a short prognosis. I spent seven years of my career being a registrar of births, marriages and deaths, so I know we all die. There’s isn’t a plan or schooling for being a carer, it just happens. One day it is normal, the next, things are never the same again. But each and every day is a gift while we are still together.

Carer 3

I am my husband’s main carer. We have used a lot of Saint Catherine’s services. He was on the in-patient unit for two months at one time, and we have used the Wellbeing Centre day-care services. I am on my own a lot and some days I really struggle, but we manage. We get on as best we can. We used to go out for the day, meet friends, shop and clean together. Now he doesn’t like to go out, he is asleep most of the time. People think a hospice is for one thing: one door in, one door out. It’s not like that. We come in for all kinds of support, for him and me. The counselling service is fabulous and has really helped me to talk about what I am going through and begin to contemplate the future. I enjoyed every moment of my working life as a carer. I knew my husband would need care eventually. I don’t know what I would do without support from Saint Catherine’s.

Ourco donates £1,000 to school’s music therapy section Words and photos by Dave Barry OURCO has given £1,000 to Springhead School’s music-therapy department. “This is the quiet part of the school, where children use music as language”, explains Angela Harrison, a music therapist at North Yorkshire Music Centre in Malton, who works one to one with pupils. “It builds confidence and can generate a real sense of achievement”, she adds. Rainbow class teacher Eileen Corbett says: “Music is something to which we can all respond. “Rhythm, pitch, melody, volume and emotional content are relevant to all of us. When we move, breathe, vocalise or take initiative there are musical elements involved in how each of these things are achieved”, Eileen says. “We have supported music therapy in school since 2014, to support pupils’ social and communication skills, confidence and emotional well-being. “Angela works with some of our children and young people who are ‘hard to reach’ or who find they can express themselves more easily through music”. Springhead is a specialist school for cognition and learning, meeting the needs of over 75 children and young people with

severe, profound and complex learning difficulties. Pupils have a range of learning difficulties, with associated physical, medical and sensory disabilities such as cerebral palsy, epilepsy and sensory processing issues. Many pupils have delayed communication skills and / or social, emotional and mental health issues. The school has been rated “outstanding” by Ofsted inspectors five times, most recently in April. It would welcome support and involvement at any stage with its Music, My Voice project. For details, ring 367829 or email headteacher@springhead.n-yorks.sch.uk. The music-therapy department shares a building with Falsgrave community centre, in Lismore Road (near B&Q). It is the second time in two years that Ourco has made a four-figure donation to the school. £1,500 was donated in 2016. Ourco, which is short for Our Community, is a registered charity raising money for people in the Scarborough, Filey and Whitby area. Since it was set up in April 2015, about £26,000 has been given away. Ourco has a charity shop in Northway. Donations of clothes, etc, are welcome.

west London in the south and Glasgow in the north”. The proceeds go to animal-rescue charities including Yorkshire Coast Rescue, Many Tears, West Yorkshire Animals in Need and Westie Rescues.

Queen Victoria statue restored THE QUEEN Victoria statue outside the town hall has been restored to its original condition by Scarborough & District Civic Society. It was in poor condition, after 115 years of being subject to an unforgiving coastal climate. It has been thoroughly cleaned and treated with hot wax, says Adrian Perry, who hopes it will be rewaxed every few years. The statue is one of at least eight bronze copies of a golden jubilee statue commissioned by the Maharana of Udaipur and made by English sculptor Charles Bell Birch. One of the copies hasn’t survived. The others are at Blackfriars Bridge in London, Derby Royal Infirmary, Newcastle Under Lyme, Aberdeen, Guernsey and Adelaide in Australia. Scarborough’s statue was unveiled by Queen Victoria’s youngest daughter on 28 July 1903. Princess Beatrice, aka Princess Henry of Battenburg, was in town to open the town hall as a public building. Both the town hall and the

statue are grade II listed structures. An interpretation board will be unveiled exactly 115 years later by the mayor of Scarborough, Cllr Joe Plant. “Fundraising took quite some time and finding a company to do the work was a challenge”, says Adrian. “However, our treasurer Michael Wainwright found a specialist restorer and now the job is complete”. The chief donors were the Mayoress’s Community Fund, Tesco’s Bags of Help scheme and Maggie Flowitt, as a memorial to her late husband Richard, a supporter of the Civic Society. The society received a comment from Buckingham Palace: “The Queen wishes you well in the undertaking of this civic project and greatly appreciates your desire to continue to commemorate the long reign of Queen Victoria in this way”.

Words and photo by Dave Barry THE QUEEN is the theme of the flowerbeds in the Valley in Scarborough this year. Schoolchildren were invited to design three large circular beds. Rosie Bussey from Friarage School drew a crown on backdrop of the English flag. She was accompanied by her friend Nathalie Petikobe and Cllr Janet Jefferson on a visit to the gardens. Both girls are aged 10. Mia Ward of Seamer and Irton School came up with the central design of ER, with an orb and sceptre. She was accompanied by her friend Lola Tyson. Both girls are aged 10. Blake Abbey, 10, Newby & Scalby School

thought a corgi would look good in a flowerbed - and it does. He was accompanied by his friend Jack Hammond, 9, and teacher Paul Davidson. Their designs were chosen from hundreds of entries and turned into three large flowerbeds by Scarborough Council gardeners. But the gardeners didn’t do all the work as a few pupils from each school turned up to lend a hand, along with deputy mayor Dilys Cluer and her consort, Chris Phillips. Each year, schools are invited to enter the competition by organisers Sheila Johnson and Roger Burnett.

The flowerbeds were designed by pupils from, L-R, Friarage, Seamer & Irton and Newby & Scalby schools (to order photos ring 353597)

The benefice of Hertford incorporates five parishes in the care of Rev Tim Parker, who was licensed two years ago. Rev Parker has taken responsibility for three extra parishes embracing Folkton, Willerby, Staxton and Ganton, in addition to the two he already cares for - Hunmanby and Muston. Rev Parker says: “When I was appointed as priest in charge of the benefice of All Saints in Hunmanby with Muston in 2016, it was on the understanding that I would take on the three additional parishes of St John the Evangelist in Folkton, St Nicholas in Ganton and St Peter in Willerby”. The benefice is named after the river which flows through or near most of the villages.

How will Brexit affect fair trade? FAIR trade and its future after Brexit will be discussed by a speaker at a meeting of the Borough of Scarborough Fair-Trade Group. Paul Chandler, a non-executive director of the Co-op and a former chief executive of Traidcraft, will give a talk at Westborough Methodist Church on 13 July. The group is celebrating the 10th anniversary of being a fair-trade borough. The meeting will begin with music from the

Global Voices Choir. There will be complimentary fair-trade refreshments, home-made cake, biscuits and a Traidcraft stall. “All supporters of fair trade are welcome to attend and celebrate with us”, says Ian Popely of the steering group. The meeting is due to begin at 6.30pm and run until 8pm.

Summer fair raises £268 for DAG Words and photo by Dave Barry £268 was raised for Scarborough Disability Action Group at its summer fair at Wreyfield Drive Methodist Church in Barrowcliff. It featured a performance by Scarborough Dance Centre, plus music, food and stalls selling home-made crafts and goodies. The fair was opened by the deputy mayor and mayoress, Dilys Cluer and Chris Phillips, who were joined by a Scarborough police cadet. Mally Leybourn, 17, is accompanying

the borough’s two civic couples at events and functions throughout the mayoral year. DAG manager Tim Vasey said: “It was a good day. Thank you to everyone for coming along and supporting us. The money will go towards the running costs of DAG. We would would like to thank everyone who donated a raffle prize, especially Ray Roberts who kindly donated weekend tickets for Staxtonbury and Phil Mort for the donation of food which we used as afternoon tea”.

African migrants cause a stir in sleepy village Words and photo by Dave Barry A COUPLE of African migrants have caused a stir in a sleepy hamlet near Scarborough. Almost unobserved, they surreptitiously - and without permission from the owner - took up residence at an unsuspecting house in Hutton Buscel. No sooner had the homeless couple selected the place where they wanted to rear their offspring than they began building their new home. Alan Hunt, who lives next door, was the first to spot the travellers - a pair of house martins. Arriving late like the swallows and swifts, they didn’t waste any time building their mud nest in the eaves.

Alan and his partner, Judi Kent Pyrah, love wildlife and were enjoying the avian to-ing and fro-ing. They are both professional artists; wildlife is one of Alan’s specialities. Their large, split-level garden, at Martin Garth, was one of 19 opened to the public as part of an annual village event, in aid of the nearby church. “We have been here two and a half years so we have inherited the garden”, Judi said. “We rent from the Guthries who have the big house down the road. “Alan prunes the trees and hedges and I weed and tidy up”, Judi added. In various ways, Alan and Judi encourage as much wildlife as they can, creating conducive

Poppy-appeal collectors have a good night out Words and photo by Dave Barry EVERYONE involved with Scarborough’s annual poppy appeal had a good night out at a Royal British Legion dinner-dance at the Royal Hotel. Hosted by the local branch, it was attended by 60 members and friends. They included a few poppy-appeal collectors and Scarborough’s mayor and mayoress, Joe and Margaret Plant. The branch provides financial, social and emotional support to ex-servicemen and women in the Scarborough area, especially those in difficulties. The national British Legion was launched in 1921 and the Scarborough branch followed soon afterwards, says treasurer and parade marshall Steve Jewell. The branch has been based at various locations and moved to its current home in Bar Street in 1976.

Best known for the annual poppy appeal and remembrance services, the branch carries out various other activities. Standard bearers recently took part in a ceremony to raise the Union flag at the town hall for Armed Forces Day; and in a Spa Orchestra concert with a remembrance theme, at the Spa. Nationally, the Legion supports nearly 36,000 war disablement pension cases for war veterans and makes around 300,000 welfare and friendship visits every year. Legion campaigns include calls for more research into Gulf War syndrome and compensation for victims; upgrading of war pensions; the extension of endowment mortgage compensation for British military personnel serving overseas; and better support for British military personnel resettling into civilian life. The branch meets at 8pm on the first Thursday of each month, except August, at its club.

Visitors to their garden include hedgehogs, foxes, squirrels, sparrow hawks, pheasants, partridge and little owls. A few hundred yards away at the west end of the village, other members of the animal kingdom were unwittingly playing their part in the open-gardens event. A flock of sheep made way for a fleet of cars in a bumpy field belonging to the Dawney

estate. They were penned into the upper half by an electric fence. Besides Martin Garth, the other open gardens were at Hornbeams, Fox Hill, the Old Schoolhouse, the church, Church Meadows, Cairnsmore, Home Farm, Simonside, Langley House, Lora Cottage, Northfield, the Kennels, Pasture Howe, Hillside, the Cottage, Kirkdale Cottage, Dale Cottage and the Paddock.

Children catch the outdoors bug Austin Marsden Hendrick sweeps his bug-net across a buttercup bed (to order photos ring 353597)

Words and photos by Dave Barry AROUND 200 adults and children had plenty of good-natured fun at an outdoor event in Falsgrave Park in Scarborough. School-age youngsters wielded big nets to catch all sorts of flies and bugs. They carefully studied them under microscopes and in Petri dishes before releasing them. Ten-year-old Austin Marsden Hendrick, of Highfield, has a keen interest in environmental issues and enjoyed himself. “We didn’t see a butterfly all day, which was odd”, reported Dorothy Russell, who chairs the park’s Friends group. Kids spent ages painstakingly carving moulds to pour plaster of Paris into, then waiting half an hour for it to set. The Woodland Trust mounted a display and volunteers talked about trees and keeping them healthy. “It was a good afternoon and we had many families of four enjoying themselves”, Dorothy said. The event featured snail races, bark rubbing, a fossil bran-tub, refreshments and a tombola. Everything for sale was sold, Dorothy said.

The nets, microscopes and other items were organised by Helen Percival of Manor Road Nurseries. n The Friends of Falsgrave Park are having a similar nature event on 16 August, from 1-4pm.

Pub raises £125 for hospice A 60s and 70s night at the Rosette in Newby raised £125 for Saint Catherine’s. The pub, managed by Suzanne Blacker, has adopted the hospice as its charity of the year. “Everything we do this year is in aid of Saint Catherine’s”, said Suzanne.

Mark Sinclair, who was DJ on the night, said the money was raised by people making donations and buying raffle tickets. The Rosette’s next fundraiser, on 29 September, will have a northern soul and Motown theme.

Playgroup celebrates 50th anniversary Words and photos by Dave Barry OVER the last half-century, thousands of children have trooped through the doors of a playgroup which is celebrating its 50th anniversary. Derwent Valley Pre-School, based at the village hall in Hutton Buscel, looks after two dozen children aged from two up to school age. Its catchment area embraces Hutton Buscel and all the surrounding villages. Being a rural group, it has immediate access to the surrounding countryside and children are taken on walks. “We have a lovely garden for the children with artificial grass so that they can access the outside area all year round”, says the playgroup leader. Sally Marshall took over after the death of Lynn Kemmenoe, who ran it for a long time. Before Lynn, Jean Carruthers ran it for a few years. When the playgroup opened in 1968, the rooms were damp and the building needed a lot of work to bring it up to today’s high standard. It is open daily, with 13 sessions over five days during school term-time. A lot of money, the result of all sorts of fundraising activities and grant applications, has been spent on the place. The hall got a new roof, windows and toilets, and its kitchen was renovated. The playgroup, including its mums-and-tots group, is run by a friendly committee of

parents and staff, including Sally’s daughter, Hannah Midgley, who takes her baby to the group. The hall’s closest neighbour is 91-yearold Beryl Lowson, who has witnessed many changes in the 42 years she has lived in the former school house next door. “I remember little ones coming down here and now they’re grown up with children of their L-R, Dan and Emma Adens, Joyce Robinson, Sally Marshall, Hannah Midgley, Caitlin, Mia and Hayley Harper, and Laura and Charlotte Wharton (to order photos ring 353597) own”, says Beryl.

West Ayton is littered with the Wrong Trousers Words and photos by Dave Barry SEVERAL pairs of the Wrong Trousers lined the route of a Wallace & Gromit story trail and treasure hunt in West Ayton. About 40 children in 25 family groups used a clue-sheet to find clues and quotes from the Wallace & Gromit films. The Walls family, of Broadland Drive in East Ayton, are firm fans and had plenty of fun searching for their favourite Aardman characters, such as Feathers McGraw,, Mrs Tweedy and the Angry Kid. George, Rufus and Cleo Walls, aged 9, 6 and 3, have been hooked more or less since birth. Their parents, Mike and Cass, and uncle, Lee Johnson, are just as fond of the stories and enjoyed the trail as much as the children.

It started and finished at Derwent Valley Bridge Community Library, whose hard-working volunteers organised it, for the third year. The first one had a fairy-tale theme and last year’s was about animal detectives, said Jane Peacock, who runs the library's children’s activities. “Everyone said how much they enjoyed it”, said volunteer Suzanne Carr, adding: “It was strange for me to see my own trousers hanging from a lamp post! “I would like to thank everyone for their hard work in devising and setting up the trail, preparing the refreshments and running the event”. The trail was complemented by a plant and cake sale at Cheryl Barrett’s house near the weir.

Percy the Cat at North Bay Railway SCARBOROUGH TALES Many readers will know that I have a close connection with North Bay Railway. There are 8 books in my series, North Bay Tales, and number nine is to be published soon. Book five is about Percy the Cat at North Bay Railway, and a new edition has been published in honour of Percy.

MURA had been working at North Bay Railway for many years. She had a great job managing a small ticket office at the railway, sited at Scalby Mills Station, where the engines turn round on a turntable to take passengers on their return journey. She sold tickets, postcards and a few snack items. It was a beautiful day. Mura turned the key in the lock at the ticket office, and her day’s work began. “Where is he?” she said to herself, looking round. There was sometimes another member of staff. He didn’t come every day, yet her heart lifted when he did. Time passed quickly

when he was around. “Miaow!” He’s here! “Good morning Percy!” Percy had arrived. North Bay Railway’s station cat! He didn’t come every day, yet when he did, Percy was the centre of attention. Percy had been visiting the station for about twelve years, and Mura had built up a special relationship with him. “Would you like your milk?” Of course he would! Percy would sometimes show his discontent if the milk wasn’t ready when he arrived! Mura had to hide the staff’s lunches, as Percy often helped himself. “Now, be a good cat today.” And Percy would find a warm spot in the sun, on the platform, to relax, just like any other cat. The day proceeded. Passengers came and went. Children tried to connect with Percy. Sometimes he responded. Lots of photographs were taken. Maybe Percy would find a better place in the sun, or take another drink of

BY JOE COATES his milk. As the trains came in and out, Percy seemed indifferent to them. This was his patch, so the trains better not disturb him too much. It was a good day. Mura smiled as she remembered the busy times, when Percy took on legendary status. He made the local press, then the national press, then the world press. Travellers from other countries came to see him, often disappointed when he wasn’t there. TV camera crews came, as did video producers from Japan, from the USA. Editors of railway magazines begged for information. Meanwhile, Percy, a typical cat, just did what he felt like. Sometimes he would visit the Sea Life Centre and sit alongside the penguins. Sometimes, who knows where he was, though he rarely failed to turn up at the house where he lived nearby, for his usual supper from Anne and Yale. “Now, where is he?” Percy wasn’t on the platform. Mura called his name. Was that a muffled miaow in the ticket office? Mura went to look. Percy was fast asleep in an empty box. At the end of the day, Percy was still there, and she couldn’t shift him. “Come on Percy! I need to go home now!” Percy would not move. He was comfortable, and had no understanding of human timetables.

In the end, Mura gave up. Then she had an idea. “I could drag the box outside, and then lock up and go.” Just as she was about to drag the box, Percy leapt out of the box of his own accord. Just when he felt like it. Percy headed for home. “Well look at that! See you tomorrow Percy? “ Percy did come back the next day, had his milk and headed for the empty box again. He was furious. The box was full of bags of crisps. Just another day in the life of North Bay Railway’s station cat! copyright joecoates2018 www.northbaytales.com We had the news last August that Percy had died. Many were very upset, including me. Mura wanted a memorial of Percy so she organised a staff collection to have a memorial plaque made. That plaque is now on the wall of the small ticket office at Scalby Mills station, a fine tribute to the railway cat of the longest miniature railway in the country.

An entertaining journey through school’s history Words and photos by Dave Barry GLADSTONE Road School was steeped in nostalgia when ex-deputy head John Grant gave a talk on its history. Over 100 people, mostly former pupils, enjoyed an entertaining journey through the Victorian school’s 131-year past. What could have been a dry and academic

exercise was made enjoyable by Mr Grant’s gentle humour. Of the 1,000 photos displayed, the oldest was for 1903. When it appeared on a screen during Mr Grant’s slideshow, he asked if anyone recognised themself. Mr Grant, who joined the school in 1981 and left in 2006, is now its archivist and

has amassed a large collection of photos, press cuttings, certificates, magazines and paraphernalia such as an old shell case. Not one that fell on the school during the 1914 bombardment, but pretty similar. The talk was attended by head teacher Keith Wright, his predecessor David Grimwood and several other current and former staff.

Sensory play in Scarborough By Krystal Starkey PARENTS and children in Scarborough now have an alternative play area on Falsgrave Road to check out. Sensory Playhouse gives parents somewhere safe and secure to bring their children for open ended play that puts focus on interaction and imagination. Parents are encouraged to sit and play with their children across the three rooms which include a darkened sensory room, a natural play area and a third room for activities such as messy play on Thursdays and baby yoga, too. The cafe serves freshly baked treats, teas and The darkened sensory room is even for young coffees as well as providing entertainment for babies.

the kids with a pirate ship. Managers Fiona and Robin said: “Our focus on sensory play comes from our belief that it helps social interaction, supports language development, problem solving and fine/gross motor skills.” “Sensory play can be any activity that stimulates young children’s senses, touch, taste, smell, sight and hearing, balance and movement. If you have a child that is frustrated or anxious, sensory play can be calming and restful. We want to make this accessible to everyone, every child deserves the best.” First floor, The Alexandra Centre, 15-19 Falsgrave Road Scarborough YO12 5EA

Inevitably, the flats are almost always full. Tracy and her husband Alan do most of the planting in the large gardens, where residents like to sit.

Curious Roots

BY HEATHER ELVIDGE

Muck & Magic By Shelia Johnson

GLORIOUS sunny days, warm evenings with glowing skies — the dog days are about to begin, and they’re supposed to be the hottest of the year. The dog days are named after Sirius, the brilliant star at the heels of Orion and the brightest star in our winter sky. In summer Sirius rises with the sun, and the ancient Romans, who coined the term, thought the combined heat drove people and dogs to madness. Many would be willing to take the risk. But farmers and gardeners with parched soil will be wishing the rain to roll right in. Predicting summer rain is no easy matter even for the Met Office’s supercomputers, yet it’s a breeze for a ninth-century bishop: “St Swithin’s Day if ye do rain, for forty days it will remain. St Swithin’s Day if ye be fair, for forty days ‘twill rain nae mair.” Our weather tends to settle into a pattern after the summer solstice, so what’s happening around the saint’s feast on July 15 often shows the trend until the end of August. Seamer marks the 15th by proclaiming its right to hold a fair. Villagers gather to see a representative of the Lord of the Manor reads the charter granted by Richard II in 1382 — and in the village that’s more or less it. Seamer Fair is known today for attracting travellers and their horses, although it wasn’t originally a horse fair. In its heyday, Seamer’s seven-day fair offered “any lawful goods”. Today only the reading of the charter remains. This, the opening ceremony, was important in the past because fairs were exempt from normal trading conditions, so everyone needed to know when they began and ended. This is the month that woods and gardens go quiet. Noisy birds become silent and bold ones, even male robins, oddly furtive. Birds are shedding their feathers, making them feel out of sorts. They can still fly because their long flight feathers are lost in ones or twos, but they don’t want to attract any attention. The blackbird’s languid song is particularly missed; we’ll not hear him again until the New Year. And what’s happened to the swifts? Usually the summer sky rings with their screams as they wheel and dive on scythe-shaped wings, scooping up high-flying insect life. This year they’re missing. Swifts are amazing birds that eat and sleep on the wing, only ever landing to breed.

They’re the last of the summer birds to arrive and the first to depart; youngsters leave the nest in early July, and by August they’re off back to Africa. Let’s hope the swifts return next year — summer days aren’t the same without them. In July a new generation of resident butterflies emerges, and warm winds from the continent can bring red admirals and painted ladies to join them in our gardens. The extraordinary painted ladies begin their journey in the Atlas Mountains, where they winter. No single butterfly flies all the way: they stop to feed and breed, and then their offspring set off again. It may take six generations before the painted ladies reach our gardens to sip the nectar of red valerian and the purple spires of lavender and catmint. In the twilight those same plants become a magnet for moths. These don’t all come out at night, though — some lovely moths fly by day. One of the biggest moth myths is that they all eat clothes. In fact, very few species of British moth caterpillars want to munch our woollies. Nor are moths all brown, and July is the best time to see colourful specimens. Invite them into your garden with nightscented plants such as honeysuckle, summer jasmine, evening primrose, and night-scented stock. While you’re moth spotting, enjoy the night sky. July nights are relatively warm, and they’re growing longer — a development welcomed by stargazers, if not everyone else. A dark rural sky reveals the full glory, yet even in a well-lit town the brighter stars are visible. As the sun sinks from view, Venus is shining in the west. Then in the twilight the first star appears overhead. This is bright Vega, one of three stars in the “summer triangle”. Next to show is Deneb, the head of a cross of stars that form Cygnus the swan, also known as the Northern Cross. The third star in the triangle is Altair, lying further down the sky. Its constellation is also cross-like, although not as obvious as Cygnus. Within the triangle there’s a dark patch in the Milky Way, that’s a band of cosmic dust hiding more distant stars. Some cultures saw this as a mysterious part of the sky, a fork in the glowing route to the afterlife.

Scarborough Strata A Room with a View

FUNNY how things turn out. I’d always thought appendicitis happened when you were at school. Unfortunately not true. My appendix went badly wrong last month (very messy business) and I spent a week in Scarborough hospital having the blighter removed. Two positives to this tale of woe; well actually three. First, the care I received was brilliant – so thanks to everyone from the ambulance crews to the surgeons and expert nurses. Second, and most surprising,

the food in Scarborough hospital is excellent. Somehow they have managed to crack the problem of giving several hundred people three good meals a day. Third, I had a lovely view of the long escarpment of Row Brow, a beautiful mix of pastures, hills and forests – which naturally got me thinking about landscapes and geology. Scarborough is essentially a triple-deck layer cake with a chunk eaten out. Down at sea level is the Scarborough Limestone, a Middle Jurassic rock that forms the scar visible at low tide below the Spa on South Bay. Then

IT IS a well known fact that we gardeners are never happy with the weather! We are in the middle of a beautiful spell of sunshine but how many people have said to you recently that we really could do with some rain! Only a few short months ago we had more rain than we knew what to do with ! There are plenty of jobs to be getting on with in the garden just now. Top of the list for the Muck and Magic gardeners is keeping the hanging baskets and boxes well watered and fed. Tomato feed is full of potash which is needed for fruit and flower production so add some to your watering can every week and give your plants a treat You will be amply rewarded for your effort by having flowers blooming long into September and October. Dead heading is also essential. Picking over the dead flowers will make a world of difference to how long your displays last. This includes roses as well. Dead heading allows the young buds to come through and also makes a much tidier plant. This is the ideal time to prune any stone fruits such as cherries and plums. Doing it at this time of the year reduces the chances of your trees getting a disease called Silver Leaf. However, leave pruning the apples and pears until winter. Set the mower blades a bit higher than normal for this time of the year and leave the grass a little bit longer than usual. This will help take a bit of stress out of the lawn caused by the dry weather. Generally speaking, your lawn can cope without extra watering unless you have a bowling green surface or Wimbledon Centre Court. It may look a bit brown at the moment but it will recover. Save the watering for newly planted trees and shrubs that really need it. Deutzias, Weigelas and Philadelphus can all be pruned back now after they have finished flowering. This will give the plants ample opportunity to produce new wood for the remainder of the season and it is this new wood which will bear flowers next summer. In the greenhouse it's a good time to start taking cuttings from your pelargoniums and fuchsias. It's also a good time to be making

sowings of wallflowers, foxgloves and Sweet Williams ready for flowering next spring. The new dahlia border has been planted up in Peasholm Park with help from Muck and Magic Garden Club volunteers. There are a number of different varieties and types growing away nicely now and there should be a tremendous display of flowers from August onwards. We are looking forward to holding Dahlia Day in the Park in September when Muck and Magic gardeners will be on hand to answer questions and queries about the cultivation and maintenance of this beautiful group of plants. Our only problem at the moment is keeping the plants moist enough at the roots. We really could do with some rain, you know!! The next Garden Club meeting will be held on Monday July 9th at Ebenezer Church Hall, Columbus Ravine, Scarborough, beginning at 7pm. Our speaker will be Geoff Gardener who is Chairman of the Northern Branch of the National Dahlia Society. It promises to be a fascinating talk so if you want to know how to get the best out of your dahlias, or just love gardening, you are welcome to come along. More details from Sheila on 07961 966617 or on the Muck and Magic website at www. allmuckandmagic.btck.co.uk Happy Gardening!

By Roger Osborne above that is a low sloping plateau on which sits most of modern Scarborough town. This plateau is made of a nearly flat bed of Middle Jurassic sandstones called the Long Nab Member, and slopes gently upwards from the Town Hall and the Esplanade as far as Scalby Road. The third layer of the cake sits above the town. Oliver’s Mount, Jacob’s Mount, Irton Moor and Row Brow all sit on top of a stack of Upper Jurassic rocks. The seaward slopes of these hills form a series of escarpments that, together with the twin curved bays, give

Scarborough the finest natural setting of any seaside town in Britain. From my window in Lilac ward, I could see the woods on the top of Row Brow following the hard infertile Calcareous Grits, while the lower pasture slopes trace the long outcrop of Oxford Clay, and the small hills in the foreground are made of hard lumps of Cornbrash and Osgodby sandstone. All of which makes a beautiful mixed landscape – not a bad thing to look at while recovering from an operation.

CANCER

21ST JUNE - 20TH JULY

Looks like you’re going to be very busy throughout the whole of the month, especially if you’re self employed. Cash aspects are very encouraging, and on more than one occasion you will be speculating to accumulate. New work contracts are under review, and important documents will be signed between the 18th and 22nd. Some Cancerians will be dipping their toes in the property market, while others in

LEO

23RD JULY - 22ND AUGUST

Being impulsive can sometimes be a mistake, but at this point in time a little impulsiveness should serve you well, especially in relationships and affairs of the heart. Be open with your thoughts and feelings, and rather than rebuttal, you will find a very positive response. Jobs and careers are important, but do not undervalue your leisure and pleasure time.

VIRGO

23RD AUGUST - 22ND SEPTEMBER

FOOD, DRINK & TRAVEL • MECHELEN - The heart of Belgium's flemish region • RECIPE OF THE MONTH Chocolush banana muffins, yum • FOOD REVIEW - The Fish Pan

A long and forensic look at your finances might be a good idea at this time, especially if you are striving towards specific targets and goals. You may have to rob Peter to pay Paul, but some financial flexibility may be called for during July if you are to get whatever it is you want. Romantic associations have some very bright vibrations from the 23rd onwards.

LIBRA

23RD SEPTEMBER - 22ND OCTOBER

A highly charged month for the establishment of new relationships and all affairs of the heart, especially for females in the 20 to 35 age group. Everyone else chugs along quite nicely, and there are some financial gains to be made between the 20th and 27th. Travel aspects are a bit low key, so check all tickets and schedules, especially if you’re flying..

SCORPIO

23RD OCTOBER- 21ST NOVEMBER

HEALTH & BEAUTY • FASHION FOCUS - Floral frenzy for the win!

You’ll be feeling much more secure in yourself, and as July progresses, you’ll find that you are in the position of having to call the shots. Most other people will respond positively, but if there is some opposition, it can be easily overcome by ignoring your critics and having faith in your own judgement and ideas. Some tensions of jealousy from a close female.

SAGITTARIUS 22ND NOV - 21ST DEC

There is a sense of having to accept new situations and realities in certain family matters, which is fair enough, but the process reminds you of all the things you have not yet done with your life, and for some older members of the sign, it points a finger at the passing of the years. You will be called upon to sort someone else’s problems out, but not the person you think it might be.

CAPRICORN

22ND DECEMBER - 20TH JANUARY

Keep in touch! Email: krystal@thescarboroughreview.co.uk

If someone asks for your opinion, you must give it openly and honestly, but please make sure your criticisms are constructive. It is hard to see other peoples’ points of view when they are diametrically opposed to your own, but no two people

the 55+ age group will be thinking about retirement pots and pension plans. There are a number of purely emotional issues which will remain unresolved, but this is not the best of times to tackle this kind of problem. Much more is achieved if you concentrate on all things practical and pragmatic. In old gypsy parlance, listen to your head and don’t get sidetracked by following your heart. At least, not right now, anyway. Having said that, there is a lot of support and encouragement from an unexpected romantic source.

are alike, and everyone is entitled to their own opinion. If someone presents you with a gift, it might not be what you want.

AQUARIUS

20TH JANUARY - 18TH FEBRUARY

If you’re wondering why you haven’t heard from someone special, it’s probably because they haven’t heard from you! Time to take the initiative and send out a few texts and emails. A complex period on the work scene with no clear sense of direction; some necessary changes to job routines coming into play between the 18th and 24th.

PISCES

19TH FEBRUARY - 20TH MARCH

Younger members of the sign, teens and 20s, will be preoccupied by romantic excitement and sexual tension. There is a sense of freedom and hedonism, which is not just restricted to the young. All Piscesians can taste this energy, with varying results. A gentle word of warning here to older guys… Gentlemen, don’t make fools of yourself with younger women.

ARIES

21ST MARCH - 19TH APRIL

The first ten days of the month looks like being a busy period with family reunions and special days out: the 5th 6th and 7th are important dates for cementing new friendships and relationships. From the 10th onwards there is a mild feeling of anti-climax, and you need to create new targets and new dates to look forward to.

TAURUS

20TH APRIL - 20TH MAY

Strong travel aspects during the first week, maybe with a whisp of nostalgia if you’re going back to somewhere that has had an important role to play in your past. Family reunions bode well, and there is a new sense of urgency and excitement making its presence felt on the job scene from the 23rd or 24th through till the end of the month – and beyond!

GEMINI

21ST MAY - 20TH JUNE

This should be a relatively trouble free month, and a period wherein you’ll recognise a subtle shift in the pattern of your luck. A lot of the restrictions which have held you back throughout the first half of the year are now being overcome, and the pace of life is destined to become noticeably faster and a whole lot brighter. New health regimes pay dividends.

THE BORROWER Dear Daphne, My mum keeps on ‘borrowing’ my stuff without asking and not putting it back where it came from. Most of the time it’s my hair straighteners and hair products - whenever I go to use them, they’re tucked away in her bedroom. I just wish she would ask, or at least tell me when she’s using stuff, it makes me really angry even though it doesn’t seem like a big deal to her. I don’t think you’re really upset about the fact that your mum is borrowing you stuff. It’s more a case of her respecting your boundaries and privacy. As you get older, you come to appreciate your own space and things. For your mum to go into your bedroom and take those things without asking you, kind of feels like an invasion. So I can totally see why you’re getting annoyed! It sounds like mum already knows this behaviour is annoying you, but it hasn’t stopped her. Desperate times call for desperate measures: until your mum takes the time to ask you first, you should definitely keep your straighteners hidden away in a top secret location to avoid further incidents! I reckon it’s worth mentioning that a second pair of hair straighteners would be a fabulous gift for your mum (and everyone in this situation) in future. G o o d luck!

DADDY ISSUES Dear Daphne, My teenage son and I aren’t getting on very well at all. I think it’s because I left his mum 3 years ago and he’s still mad about it. I only hear from him if he needs a lift to a party or wants to borrow money - when I do everything he asks, he’s still indifferent towards me. Other times he avoids me for weeks. His mum wants me to play a larger role in his upbringing but trying to spend time with him is like getting blood out of a stone, he often turns down my invites. His older sister still takes the time out to see me and doesn’t seem to have been as hard hit by the break up. How can I get through to him that I still care and want to be a part of his life as more than just a taxi and lender? I can imagine that this feels very personal and hurtful to you, but try to remember that he is a teenage boy. At this stage of his life hanging out with dad isn’t a ‘cool’ activity. None the less you should gently persist, if he is still upset about the break up, it will do him a world of good to know that you aren’t giving up on trying to see him. It sounds like you still have a functioning parenting relationship with his mum, perhaps she could shed some light on the situation and help you get your relationship back on track? As a teenager I wasn’t fond of either of my parents, but I’m happy to report it’s something I grew out of. Try and remember how you felt back then. Have you told your son that would like to spend more quality time with him and you’ve noticed he’s been a little distant with you, opening up the opportunity for him to tell you how he feels could help you patch things up.

Even if you only have a limited space, there are lots of ways in which you can encourage wildlife to your garden. Obviously we find all flowers attractive; however, from the butterfly’s point of view some are more beneficial than others. The one plant we all know of course, the ‘Butterfly Bush’, is Buddleia davidii, a tall flowering deciduous shrub with honey scented cone shaped spikes. More well known favourites for butterflies are Lilac, Syringa vulgaris, again a sweetly scented, large flowering shrub. Hebe is a genus of plants with lots of different varieties to choose from, also Lavender, both English and French types can be seen laden with bees and butterflies when in flower. Lonicera (Honeysuckle) is a very sweetly scented climber with nectar rich flowers that rank high on the list of butterfly attractants.

LOVE THAT NECTAR A lot of flowers that would come under the bracket of ‘cottage garden’ plants are perfect for

attracting nectar loving insects; other favourites of the butterfly are Violets, Antirrhinums, Asters, and Sedum varieties. When these are planted in warm sunny sites the scents will be heightened. An ideal way of attracting things into your garden is by giving them the habitat that they require. For some wildlife that means exactly what it says, your garden should be wild. Piles of old logs and branches make perfect hide outs for all sorts of creatures, although some of them won’t be beneficial to all your plants, they will be a good meal for somebody else, for example birds will eat slugs and snails. You may have to change your attitude to caterpillars and how to get rid of them, as several of these may turn into butterflies, so try not to spray everything with chemicals. As well as providing food for wildlife you could try and encourage them to stay by providing both shelter and roosting sites. Corylus avellana ‘Contorta’, (Twisted Hazel), is a perfect plant for small birds. The tangle of branches allows small birds to dart inside for cover from larger predatory birds, or cats, whilst providing a food source when covered in catkins. Another shelter providing shrub is Pyracantha, (Firethorn) with thorny branches, sweet scented flowers and winter berries.

DEFENCE Having wildlife in your garden that feeds on the plant eating insects and molluscs can only be a good thing. Hedgehogs love slugs and to encourage them in the first instance you could provide a hedgehog house and sprinkle hedgehog niblets around it. Having a pond in your garden also attracts wildlife, whether it is a large pool full of fish or little more than a constant puddle to keep the frogs happy, it all plays a part. Frog and toad houses are available to give them some extra protection. Frogs are another creature that will eat slugs and snails and are, therefore, well worth encouraging. Having a selection of pond plants will also encourage many more aquatic species. There are booklets produced on all the different species that you may be able to attract, showing you what they look like, what they are called, identification tips and where they live. These booklets look at butterflies, insects, bugs, frogs, bats hedgehogs and birds and many others. As you can see there are lots of ways that you can help out nature and also make your garden that little bit more exciting.

SCARBOROUGH REVIEW LIFESTYLE

Travel review: Mechelen, Belgium

Beer, bells and history set Mechelen apart from the rest, says Krystal Starkey. HIDDEN behind the hustle and bustle of Brussels and Antwerp, with intriguing history, craftsmanship, and Instagram ready scenes around every corner, this little city is shining bright and it’s only a matter of time before everyone else finds out, too. Just an 11 minute train direct from Brussels airport and a 20 minute train on through to Antwerp makes Mechelen super easy to reach.The city is compact and most of its main attractions are within walking distance, for those who prefer to see a city sat down, there’s the boat trip going from Vismarkt. Once the Catholic capital of Belgium, Mechelen has more churches than most. Each one complete with a legend or tale. St Rumbold’s Cathedral is the biggest. Home to a 100 metre bell tower that was intended to be 167 metres tall, its bells ring out every seven and a half minutes and it’s part of the furniture here: “You only really realise they’re there, when they’re not something feels strange but you can’t put your finger on it,” a local tour guide explains. That’s because once a year for a week, the bells fall silent to be cleaned. It’s quite a climb to the top, 537 steps to be precise, but the views are worth it, you can see from Antwerp all the way to Brussels’ famous Atomium. Perhaps considered Mechelen’s Heydey, the Burgundian era is well represented in the new museum, Hof Van Busleyden. Set in a Renaissance palace, we can learn about the city that was once the the capital of the Burgundian Netherlands.

This is when the city was established as a front runner in the world of craft. Even today, tapestries are sent from all over the world to be lovingly restored. Mechelen doesn’t shy away from its dark history either. The Kazerne Dossin stands firmly amongst the old buildings of Mechelen and does a harrowing but important job. Many Jews and Romanies where sent to Auschwitz from a transit camp here. The wall of faces has stayed with me since the visit, many spots left vacant, waiting for relatives to fill in the gaps. Mechelen may have a vast, and awesome past but it’s not afraid of the future. You’ll find Mechelen Murrt dotted around the city: impressive street art installations that add splashes of colour in even the most residential of places. A truly inclusive city both socially and architecturally, examples of modern architecture are seen nestled in between traditional buildings. In the afternoon light, glass facades shine bight while the pinky hues of the traditional fish merchants’ houses glow amicably. For a dining experience oozing cosmopolitan cool, visitors should head to Cosma. An edgy concept, diners eat amongst pieces of statement art and home wares (all for sale) and are advised to order one key ingredient each for their main and then share tasty side dishes between them. Many of the cafés are open from morning to night. Good coffee, adult beverages, including the local beer brewed in the city (generally, a higher percentage than Brits are used to!) and hearty dishes are available all day long.

HIDDEN GEM: Ursuline Winter Garden

The school and convent complex of the Ursuline nuns was built in the early 1900s and was once internationally acclaimed. These nuns were very good at marketing and built a winter garden in order to impress the student’s visitors.

The famous Fish Pan Restaurant Scarborough Review sent sales executive, Jason Chinnian on a one-man mission to sample what’s on offer at the famous Fish Pan Restaurant.

Ingredients

Method Preheat the oven to 190ºC. Leave the melted butter to cool and mash the bananas well. Sift the flour, baking powder, bicarbonate of soda and salt into a bowl. Tip in the sugar and mix well. In a second bowl, use a fork to beat together the eggs, honey, butter and Chocolush milkshake. Add the bananas and stir. Make a well in the dry mixture and pour in the egg mixture. Stir roughly with a fork so it remains thick and lumpy.

Where there was once 100 breweries, there remains only one: Het Anker. The most popular beer in Mechelen is fondly named Maneblusser (Moon extinguisher) the 9% beer is a real staple in the city and the story is one told often. The city once mistook the red light of the moon for a fire in St Rumbold’s tower - what followed was a city wide effort to create a water chain up the tower to put the fire out - turns out it was literally just the moon. Look out for local treats including cheese and chocolate made from the famous local beer. If you want to catch Mechelen at its best, head there for a weekend. Walking around the city on a Saturday is a truly metropolitan experience, food and flower markets swell over the many pedestrian-only areas, while cafés full of locals watch cyclists navigate the buzzing squares.

Fill the muffin cases with the mixture and place in the oven for 20-25 minutes until golden brown and firm on top. Leave to cool before transferring to a wire rack. Once cool, mix together a little of the remaining Chocolush milkshake with some icing sugar to top the muffins. Add dried banana pieces to decorate. About Shaken Udder Milkshakes Shaken Udder produces 100% natural, low fat and low sugar milkshakes. Available in Chocolush, Top Banana and Vanillalicious, Shaken Udder comes in 330ml bottles, RRP £1.39 from Waitrose, Tesco and Sainsbury's. www.shakenudder.com

THE name speaks for itself but the question for me was: is it deserved? The restaurant overlooks the sand, sea and cliffs. It has a bright blue frontage that is difficult to miss as you walk along the sea front. As you enter there is seating on the ground floor and then a flight of stairs to the first floor with plenty of seating, lighting, mirrors, and the best of it all, fabulous sea views: blue skies, sea and a biscuit beach. The staff stand attentively at the top of the stairs and welcome you in with smiles, good eye contact and are dressed all in black. They escort you to a table and are quite comfortable in recommending dishes. The menu offers a wide selection of classic fish and chip meals as well as some specials. Harry, the restaurant manager, recommended the Fish Combo comprising of Battered Cod, 7 pieces of Battered Scampi and 6 Hot & Spicy Prawns. This is all served with chips, peas and salad. I asked for the fish to be lightly battered. I did not have to wait long for my meal. The fish was lightly battered and broke open gently to reveal that it was nice and firm but not overcooked. You could taste the freshness of the fish and, dare I say, the sea. It was very refreshing. The chips came in their own bowl which made

consumption much easier for someone like me who likes room to eat. They were well cooked with a ‘real’ chip consistency and very tasty. The scampi was wonderfully cooked. I generally don’t opt for this because it can be dry. However, this was moist and juicy. Adding fresh lemon juice helped cut through the richness. The spicy prawns were something I was keen to try because I do love my spicy food. The first bite presented me with a crisp batter and an immediate bite back from the prawn. It was not over spicy but just enough to give you a different taste sensation. It was a nice contrast to the rest of the flavours on the plate. The portion size was good, but too much for me. No doubt it won’t be enough for some, but it will be just right for most. There is good variation of complimentary flavours on the plate and it all tastes fresh and flavoursome. The restaurant environment is light and relaxed with attentive, courteous wellpresented staff. The views are stunning, and it all adds up to a wonderful experience on the sea front in Scarborough. I highly recommend paying The Fish Pan a visit and, yes, the name is deserved.

Open letter to health minister Jeremy Hunt Dear Secretary of State

We write further to our letter of 8 May. On 15 June, the Alliance met with Robert Goodwill, MP for Scarborough & Whitby, to detail our concerns about the lack of funding for effective care for those living with dementia, explained in our previous letter. At the meeting there were impassioned contributions from carers at crisis point: battling to navigate a hugely complex social care system; distressed by much of the local care-home provision - lack of specialist dementia training, often resulting in respite care becoming permanent care, and leading to inappropriate (and costly) hospital admission; crippled by the soaring costs of dementia care, calculated to be 40% higher than standard social care, with ‘top-up’ fees (typically between £100 and £400 a week), requiring partners to contract to fund loved ones’ care, thus emptying resources that might in time be required for their own needs. In September 2014, you said: “I want to make sure those with dementia, their families and carers get the help they need. We are transforming the way people pay for care, capping the amount they have to pay and

Raising funds for Alzheimer’s research

Dear editor

Thank you for our write-up in the last Review [Two friends are raising money for Alzheimer’s research by attempting the Yorkshire 3 Peaks challenge]. Our target for the Yorkshire 3 Peaks was £500 which we have done. The £10,000 is what I have almost raised on my own. I am going to Peru at the end of next year and have already have almost £1,000 to start that fundraising target. We raised £36.22 at the bake sale at the fire station. I made £183.87 and I think Jen made over £100 at the car-boot sale at Lebberston. At the New Tavern fundraiser on 4 May, we raised £2,151.26 with beard shaves, head shaves, an Irish auction and a big raffle. We have raised £432 at a raffle at Lloyds TSB bank which they will match to make it £864. I am holding a fundraising day on 10 August at St James’s church and we have a collection day at Morrison’s on 12 August. Thank you again. Keri Doody, Seamer Road Scarborough

The essential monthly guide Big thank you to the Scarborough Review for consistently promoting our music events at Woodend gallery in Scarborough. Scarborough is poorly served by its tourist information centres and small venues have a particular problem of getting their shows highlighted to the general public. The Scarborough Review has become the essential monthly guide for anyone to find out who’s playing when and where at the pubs, clubs and places like Woodend who focus on original music with many artists coming over from America and Canada. Keep up the good work! Thanks.

Thank you very much for publicising Scarborough Film Society’s recent season of international films. The society has screened a varied programme of award-winning productions from countries including France, Belgium, Spain, India, New Zealand, Romania, Denmark and Sweden. Despite several initial concerns from members, the change of evening from Friday night, established several decades ago, to Monday evenings, has proved a very positive move. The new venue has been well received at St Mary's Parish House in Castle Road. I must extend my appreciation to Trish Kinsella of St Mary's Parish House and the Rainbow Centre for her assistance in providing such a convenient venue, particularly handy for free evening parking at the large carpark in Friars Way. Our last film, A Man Called Ove, a Swedish comedy, had the audience laughing from beginning to end, and many seemed reluctant to leave. I will endeavour to source similar films for the forthcoming 2018/19 season due to begin in October. Once again, thank you for your assistance advertising the great film shows.

providing more financial help”. In your statement to the House of 18 June 2018, you said “There is no family in this country that has not been touched by cancer”. True. But while you go on to mention stroke and heart disease, dementia is conspicuous by its absence. The inescapable conclusion is that those living with dementia have been forgotten about by this Government. Our meeting with Mr Goodwill began and ended with the same question: when will the Government recognise that dementia is a serious terminal illness, no different from cancer or heart disease, and fund care accordingly? One carer asked the MP if the Government offer some hope? This week, you declared that you intend to review the functioning, structure and funding of social care. May we dare to hope that, in the coming weeks’ discussions, the Government will begin to redress the discrimination experienced by those with dementia and their carers, so that the NHS is indeed “there for every family, everywhere, at the best of times and at the worst?”

THE WRONG ROBIN? Local artist Dav White talks about the fascinating world of history, art and mythology

Woodland wild flowers herb robert and red campion, aka Robin Hood or Robin Goodfellow Words, photos and map by Dav White WHEN I was a child, I asked my Mam how Robin Hood’s Bay got its name and she said it was because Robin Hood stayed there when he went on his holidays. Experts, other than my Mam, are still unsure how Robin Hood’s Bay got its name. An English ballad mentions Robin Hood clashing with French plunderers off the North Yorkshire coast and returning the goods back to the poor of a fishing village. That village is thought to be Robin Hood's Bay so perhaps that’s how it got its name? In other tales, Robin Hood comes to Scarborough. Using the pseudonym Simon Wise, he stays at a widow’s house in an area which becomes known as Robin Hood Garth, now Whitehead Hill. He joins a local fishing crew and his boat encounters French pirates. Simon says he can win the fight on his own, lashed to the mast, and dispatches the French crew singlehanded with his bow and arrow. Robin Hood’s traditional haunt was Sherwood Forest. However, a 17th century account says: “He was no fox that hath only one hole”, referring to many hide-outs and refuges perhaps, like Robin Hood’s Bay. Another story says he kept a few boats for fishing there, during the summer months, or as means of escape if hard pressed. To the north of Robin Hood’s Bay at Whitby Lathes, on a track off Hawsker Lane, are the Robin Hood and Little John Stones. They sit by Robin Hood’s Field and Little John’s Field which reputedly mark the places where the outlaws’ arrows landed after they were shot from the roof of Whitby Abbey to boast their skills as bowmen to the abbot, Richard de Waterville. To the south of Robin Hood’s Bay, up on Stoup Brow, are three tumuli called Robin Hood's Butts. In another tale, Robin fires an arrow from Robin Hood’s Butts, after winning another archery competition, proclaiming “build me a village where ever my arrow doth fall!”

Butts or butt hills are artificial mounds made behind archery targets. The name was often given to tumuli that became places for archery meets. The Saxon words moot and meet mean a place of assembly for competition. The Norse equivalent is a thing, as in a hus-thing (hustings), for when meetings were held indoors, in a house or hus, rather than outdoors. Because of the many druid stones lying thereabouts, antiquarian Robert Knox tells us that the vicinity of Stoup Brow was historically druid ground, for that most ancient race of people who built their temples outdoors. The locals called the stones stoupes or stoops, which is most likely the source of the name of this place. Knox says this area was a considerable druid station that must have been extirpated by a Roman garrison around Ravenscar, forcing the druids to move to the more secluded area at Blakey Topping, where they left druid stones. The 20th century archaeologist Frank Elgee wrote of Robin Hood’s Butts: “Any association

Stoups or druid stones taken from Stoup Brow, now in the gardens of the Yorkshire Museum in York with the famous outlaw of Sherwood Forest is, I believe, due to folk etymology. Robin Hood was also the name of an ancient forest spirit or elf, Robin Goodfellow. It was therefore most probably given to barrows because he was believed to haunt A line from them. Long Robin Hood’s after this Butts to Fox Hill belief became extinct, p e o p l e attempted to explain the name by associating it with that of the outlaw and his feats of archery, especially as the barrows resemble the mounds or butts behind a r c h e r y targets”. If the village was named after the butts, then Robin Hood’s Bay may have been named after the wrong Robin? According to English folklore, Robin Goodfellow is a clever domestic imp, a shape-changer that can appear as a horse or a fox. Reynard the Fox was another trickster spirit. For small gifts, Robin might do your housework or churn your butter or help you darn with fine needle work. But he is prone to mischief. He has a reputation for giving the wrong directions to travellers, resulting in the common 15th

century question if you have been lost: “Has Robin Goodfellow been with you tonight?” Goodfellow was also known as a hob (a hobbit) and would stop his housework if he was offered new clothes (like Dobby the house elf from the Harry Potter films). The two Robins have common traits. Both had a desire for giving travellers a hard time. Goodfellow was a shape-shifter and Hood a master of disguise; either could be a good companion or a thief. Woodland flowers such as red campion and herb robert are associated with the two Robins. In medieval times, Neolithic arrow-heads became known as elf arrows, causing elf shot. This is a sudden, unexplained pain in the body which might now be diagnosed as rheumatism, arthritis, muscle stitches or the cramps. As straight as Robin Hood could shoot an arrow, if one was so inclined, one can draw a straight line from Robin Hood’s Butts to Beacon Howes, to the Cloughton stone circle, to Seamer Beacon, Star Carr, Snevver Scar on the Wolds, up to Elf Howe, the butts on the green at Wold Newton and to Fox Howe up on Fox Hill. He was no fox that had only one hole. Shakespeare wrote, in A Midsummer Night’s Dream: “Either I mistake your shape and making quite, Or else you are that shrewd and knavish sprite Call’d Robin Goodfellow: are not you he That frights the maidens of the villagery Skim the milk and sometimes labour in the quern Mislead night-wanderers, laughing at their harm Those that Hobgoblin call you, and sweet Puck You do their work and they shall have good luck”.

Guitar virtuoso flies into SJT Artist’s Palestine medal accepted by Royal Academy Words and photos by Dave Barry

BORN in Morocco, raised in Spain and now living in North Yorkshire and playing all over the world - including Scarborough. Guitar virtuoso Eduardo Niebla returned to the Stephen Joseph Theatre with fellow guitarist Matthew Robinson and tabla player Dharmesh Parmar. The lightning-fingered trio enthralled a large audience in the round with two sets of exhilarating flamenco / jazz fusion. Perhaps the most sustained applause came at the end after the two guitarists used their instruments as beatboxes to build to a thunderous crescendo. It was easy to see why Niebla has been chosen for collaborations with George Michael, Craig David and an eclectic mix of artists on the international stage including Indian sitar virtuoso Nishat Khan, jazz saxophonist Lol Coxhill, Palestinian oud player Adel Salameh, the Dante string quartet and gypsies from the desert of Rajasthan. The concert featured 12 compositions from Eduardo’s 40-year repertoire. This programme was a snapshot of his international life; a passionate journey from his early years in Morocco to his impoverished flamenco roots in Spain and his discovery of jazz and the freedom of improvisation. Pieces such as Calle de la Tiña vividly evoked the life in Albaicín Granada, Rosie the influence of Arabic culture, while My Gypsy Waltz is a virtuosic dedication to gypsy styles of playing around the world.

India and the raga Bluebells Garden are directly inspired by Niebla’s tours there and his Django Reinhardt inspired number I Can Fly Now says it all. It is this mastery of the guitar and its many disciplines that has enabled Niebla to fly, musically speaking, creating a highly lyrical and virtuosic style of playing.

Events in Snainton and West Ayton A CONCERT in Snainton and a children’s competition are being organised by Derwent Valley Bridge Community Library in West Ayton. The concert, at Snainton village hall, will feature Malton Rock Choir and Skyliner (27 July, 7.30pm). The choir, which focuses on feel-good music, was set up three years ago as part of a national network of about 350 rock choirs across the country. Skyliner is a 16-piece big band of talented local musicians led by musical director Caroline Watkinson. They specialise in Glenn Miller. Tickets, which cost £9 including light refreshments (£8 for library Friends), can be bought at the library or booked by ringing 866183. There will be a bar. The competition is based on Egypt, in the runup to the Pat Almond memorial lecture in the village hall in East Ayton (6 Oct). It will be given by Egyptologist, author and TV and radio presenter Joann Fletcher. There are three age categories. Ages 11-16 should write a story of 500-750 words starting with the sentence: “I am Queen Cleopatra’s personal servant. The day began as usual and

then…” The winner will receive £30 and a crystal trophy to keep for a year. Ages 8-11 are asked to draw a picture of an explorer of Egyptian pyramids, describing clothes and equipment, using labels. Ages 5-7 should draw a picture of a pyramid. Entries should be on A4 paper with the name, age and school on the back. The deadline is 16 July. Every junior and senior school in the area has been sent the details. Entries can be handed in at school or dropped off at the library. n Tickets for the library’s biannual draw cost £1. Prizes include £100 for the winner. It will be drawn on 22 September.

Model railway show in Filey A MODEL railway exhibition in Filey will raise funds for St John's Parish Centre in West Avenue, where it will be held on 21 July, from 10am until 4.30pm. It will feature nine working layouts, a trade stand, refreshments and plenty of interactive fun. Admission is free to under-14s if accompanied by an adult paying £3. The proceeds will help repair and restore the St John's building, to enable community use for many more years to come.

The hall at the back of the church has been used by numerous community organisations since the 1970s. They include Slimming World, U3A, a dementia activity group, a hand-bell group, guides, brownies, a toddler group, a chairobics class and an allotment group. The hall is tired and getting to the point of being unfit for purpose. The church has a plan, called 2020Vision, to restore the hall, which is now called the Parish Centre.

by Dave Barry A SCARBOROUGH-BORN artist has had work accepted by London’s Royal Academy for its 250th anniversary summer exhibition. Lee Walker, whose working name is eel, is a conceptual sculptor and street artist living and working in Brighton. His latest sculpture, the Decorated for Peace Medal, seeks to draw attention to the plight of the Palestinian people and to encourage reconciliation and unity between the Israelis and Palestinians. It recognises the global effort put in by thousands of artists who have daubed their messages of hope and support on the Separation Wall, to draw attention to the ongoing humanitarian crisis. “They’re living through their own apartheid, yet despite this, the Palestinian people I know are some of the warmest, friendliest and funniest I have ever met,” says eel. “They are not bitter about what is happening. They have hope for their future and I wanted to give them a little bit more of that in any way I could”. In March, eel went back to Palestine and adorned the wall with spray-painted stencil paste-up representations of the medal. Cast in silver-plated nickel gilding metal, the medal proclaims the word ‘peace’ in Arabic, English and Hebrew. It features the top of a spray can, in tribute to the biggest worldwide graffiti project since the Berlin Wall, and a Separation Wall campaign bar on the ribbon. The medal is a limited edition of 150 and costs £225. The profit is going to the Children of Peace organisation, a non-partisan charity that promotes trust, friendship and reconciliation between Israeli and Palestinian children. It can be bought via the artist’s website, www.eelart.com. n The summer exhibition runs until 19 August.

British and French artists collaborate Words and photo by Dave Barry THE entente cordiale between Scalby & Newby and French twin town Pornic grows ever more cordiale. Artists from both ends of the friendship visited each other to produce artwork for an exhibition at Woodend. Via their twinning associations, the two areas have been connected for almost 30 years. Now, three British and four French artists have immersed themselves in each others’ cultures to produce an exhibition inspired by the cultural exchange. They have interpreted the experience through the media of painting, drawing, cyanotype, photography, sculpture and mixed-media. Brigitte Vanwynsberghe, Fabienne AlliouLucas, Cathy Lodziak and Nadya Tara from Pornic visited Scarborough in June 2017. They were particularly interested in the rock formations along the Jurassic coast, which has attracted artists for over 200 years.

In October Angela and David Chalmers and Janine Baldwin from Scarborough travelled to Pornic, on the Atlantic coast. They were equally inspired by the light and colours of the beautiful, historic town. They were captivated by the landscape and architecture of Pornic, together with the majestic villas surrounded by fragrant pines and quiet chapels in medieval streets. Besides the artists and friends, the exhibition opening was attended by Joe Plant, mayor of Scarborough, and Jean-Michel Brard, mayor of Pornic. The exhibition, Territoire-s, will remain at Woodend until 28 July. It will be mounted at the Chapelle de l’Hôpital and Maison du Chapitre in Pornic from 15 September until 14 October. The project would not have been possible without the support of sponsors. In the UK, they included Unison Colour, Great Art, Lazenby’s and the Plough restaurants, Don French Signs and Fitzpatrick Design.

Performers outnumber audience at church concert Words and photo by Dave Barry SUCH a shame that so few people turned out for a performance of Handel’s Israel in Egypt oratorio. The 71 singers and 23 musicians easily outnumbered the distinctly thin audience of 82, at Queen Street Methodist Hall in Scarborough. After the huge amount of preparation and rehearsals that must have gone into such an ambitious concert, it must have been souldestroying for the performers to see such a poor turn-out. It was even worse in Whitby the previous week, when 60 people watched the same show at St Hilda’s Church. Scarborough Choral Society, St Hilda’s Festival Chorus and the Orchestra of Friends must be wondering what went wrong. It was certainly nothing to do with their publicity machine as the society is fortunate to have an energetic and pro-active press officer, always keeping the local media posted. Perhaps it was the choice of programme. The biblical oratorio isn’t to everyone’s taste. It didn’t go down well when it was first performed in 1739 - or throughout that century, eventually gaining popularity in the 19th century. Eric Hewes, organist and choirmaster at St Martin’s Church, enjoyed the second concert. He commented: “Handel seems to have thrown every compositional device in his arsenal into this work, and the combined choirs and orchestra negotiated them all with a style, enthusiasm and freshness of which I

believe Handel would have heartily approved. “The choral singing was wonderfully performed and the double choruses were neatly accomplished and extremely well balanced between the two choirs. The rich harmonic textures and complex rhythms were wonderfully accurate (testament to enormously hard work on the part of the choral directors) and yet the spontaneity, vibrancy and vigour of Handel’s music were never lost because the importance of the word painting in his work was at all times fully realised”. The society is pinning its hopes on a better turn-out for its Christmas concert on 15 December, at Westborough Methodist Church. The choir will sing Britten’s St Nicolas cantata and Joy to the World by Karl Jenkins. Further ahead, the choir will perform Messiah on 13 April next year.

Summer Social aims to celebrate and inspire A MINI-CONFERENCE, a garden party, a barbecue and live music are all part of Totally Socially’s Summer Social, in Scarborough in July. The free events are designed to celebrate and inspire by highlighting the positive things happening in the community, demonstrating the power of people pulling together. Totally Socially is part of Coast and Vale Community Action, whose chief executive, Mel Bonney-Kane, said: “We work to support thriving communities because we believe people and places matter. “Our Totally Socially project encourages people to share that belief and Cavca exists to help put ideas into action. I’m looking forward to the Summer Social and to the many new ideas and conversations it will generate”. Totally Socially project co-ordinator David Stone added: “We work year-round to bring people together and create opportunities. “Our Summer Social celebrates what can be achieved when communities are given a chance. It’s an ideal opportunity for people to speak to us about the things they would like to see happening in their area”. The first event is the Big Brew and Banter, at the Street on 12 July from 10am to 1pm. It will feature speakers from Sheffield cooperative Regather, which runs venues, food projects and a brewery; and Hawes Community Office, which runs a communityowned petrol station, a post office and a transport service. David said: “There will be plenty of opportunity for participants to discuss what projects we need to create locally and a chance to network over lunch”. The Street garden party and barbecue, on 14 July from 1-4pm, is a family-friendly event filled with food, music, games and sunshine (fingers crossed).

It’s a chance to meet the Totally Socially team and check out the work that local group Growing Opportunities is doing in the garden to create a nature- and people-friendly space. Everyone’s welcome and vegetarian / vegan options will be available. The third event is a silent gig at the Market Hall on 22 July, from 6-9pm. “Using Studio 3’s unique, state-of-the-art equipment, we will be broadcasting live music from local acts to 150 headphones, silent disco style”, says a spokesperson. Sharing the bill are Jesse Hutchinson, Chu Ma Shu, Lottie Holmes and the Sad Boys Club. The gig, which will feature a bar, is being promoted by Totally Socially and Studio 3. It’s a free gig but places must be booked via Facebook (search for Studio 3). Similar events are being organised in Whitby and Malton. Totally Socially, funded by the Big Lottery, aims to listen to and work with people in communities in the borough of Scarborough and district of Ryedale, to help them tackle some of the problems they face and to build on the many good things already happening.

Return of the Dragon festival in Filey THE country sounds of Willie Nelson will reverberate around Filey’s country park during the Return of the Dragon festival on 28 and 29 July. Full Nelson are headlining a gig on the first day of the free weekend festival. Celebrating one of country music’s greatest songsmiths, Full Nelson are on a mission to play the highlights of Nelson’s 83-year life and 60-year career. The band perform Nelson classics including On the Road Again (not to be confused with Canned Heat’s song of the same name), Always on my Mind (a big hit for Elvis Presley), Whiskey River, City of New Orleans and Crazy, written for Patsy Cline.

Church concerts THE summer programme of Monday concerts at South Cliff Methodist Church is under way. Programme coordinator John Hastings says: “We have a wide range of musical and other talents drawn from the very best soloists and groups from Scarborough and the surrounding areas. “Many include professional or semiprofessional artistes as well as talented amateur groups and individuals”.

Coming up are the Staxton Singers (2 July), Desperate Mezzos (9 July), Scarborough Community Choir (16 July), Tenor XI (23 July), Hackness Ladies Choir (30 July), Frank James & Friends (6 Aug), A Cappella (13 Aug), the Semitones (20 Aug), the Hattones (27 Aug) and the Tenors (3 Sep). n The concerts start at 7.45pm. Admission costs £6. The proceeds are shared between the church and the Rainbow Centre.

Concert for Rainbow Centre SCARBOROUGH Concert Band will raise funds for the Rainbow Centre at a concert at St Mary’s Church on 7 July, at 7.30pm. The band, conducted by Malcolm Appleby, is celebrating its 50th anniversary. It often performs for the benefit of local charities. Promoter Anne Morley says: “As I have involved Rotary and the Salvation Army,

through Rotarian Nigel Wood, we anticipate a good attendance and a reasonable amount of monies to be raised on the night towards the work of the Rainbow Centre. “The concert will feature various film, show and popular music as well as some classic wind band pieces”. No charge will be made for admission but a collection will be taken.

A bumper summer of festivals A BUMPER summer of festivals is coming up on the Yorkshire coast. As more people are staying in Britain for their holidays, the festival season has risen to the challenge and produced an amazing variety of events. The Yorkshire Coast Festivals Association (YCFA), which supports and promotes festivals, has compiled data showing more than 40 festivals in the region this summer and autumn. They come in all shapes, sizes and types. Music festivals alone range from jazz and blues to world music, soul, folk, gospel and rock and roll, all of the highest quality. Ryedale Festival and the North York Moors Chamber Music Festival bring world-class classical music to the coast. Not far from the coast, Yorkshire’s famous country shows run from early July through

to September, taking in everywhere from Malton and Driffield to Rosedale, Egton and Farndale. Outdoor regulars like Seafest, Staxtonbury, Parkfest and Scarborough’s worldrenowned cricket festival have been joined by Scarborough’s festival of cycling. Other well-loved regulars include Esk Valley Theatre, Filey Festival and Muston’s scarecrow festival. All this follows a fantastic spring of festivals, with Sci-Fi Scarborough and Books by the Beach leading the way. Roger Osborne, who chairs the YCFA, says: “The range, quality and number of festivals within reach of the Yorkshire coast is amazing. This summer there really is no need to go anywhere else”. n For more details visit www.yorkshirecoastfestivals.org.uk.

Goathland concert honours 12 WW1 soldiers FIRST World War stereotypes are challenged in a concert in Goathland commemorating the village’s 12 soldiers who never returned from the futile conflict. On 7 July, a bishop will dedicate 12 newly planted oak trees and 12 steel memorial figures. A two-mile circular trail takes in the trees, the sculptures and some of the original oaks planted by the mother of one of the soldiers. At 7pm, northern folk experimentalists Harp and a Monkey and Scarborough musician Joe Solo will present 12 Oaks at the Hut in Goathland, aka Goathland Community Hub. The show has proved so successful it led to the trio’s third album, the aptly named War Stories, and a 30-minute documentary. War Stories garnered a 4* review in the Guardian. Joe’s repertoire includes overtly political songs and many based on his research into soldiers from his home town of Hull, who were lost in World War One.

The concert combines songs and stories from both projects. The 12 Goathland soldiers served in some of the most notorious theatres of war, including the Somme, Gallipoli and the English Channel. They died in battle or of their wounds. Jim McLaughlin of Musicport said: “This story was almost lost in the mists of time but due to the efforts of Keith Thompson of the Hut and, with support from the Heritage Lottery Fund and the North York Moors National Park Trust, the village now has a living memorial that will help bridge the generations. This concert will provide a fitting celebration of this wonderful effort”. n Tickets cost £10 and can be booked by ringing 01947 603475 and online at www.musicportfestival.com, and bought on the door.

Wilson, 8, and Jack Aydemir, 13. Their designs feature the Red Arrows, beach huts, tourist attractions, the Freddie Gilroy statue, the south bay and the lighthouse. Prizes were provided by event sponsor Corbitts of Newcastle. The fair was opened by the mayor, Cllr Joe Plant, who presented prizes to the winners, spoke to dealers and charity representatives and showed great interest in the stamp displays. Guesthouses, eating places and leisure centres were asked to promote the stamp fair and several bought advertising space in a booklet, which was given to visitors. Press officer Robin Stenhouse said the host club was grateful to Corbitts, Bridlington Philatelic Society and the team from Teesside which provided and erected display frames. Robin added: “The event relied on help and support from members, their friends and families. Thanks to them, particularly Chris Phillips, for his drive and hard work in organising the fair”.

Philatelists flock to stamp fair at church PHILATELISTS turned out in droves for a stamp fair at Westborough Methodist Church. Yorkshire Philatelic Association chose the town for its annual convention, honouring Scarborough Philatelic Society’s 80th anniversary. It was the first time the convention has been held in Scarborough, although the Philatelic Congress of Great Britain was staged in the town in 1963. The fair featured every Yorkshire stamp club, stamp dealers from around the country and prize-winning displays of stamps and postal history by collectors from Scarborough and Bridlington. The local society is keen to attract nonphilatelists to the hobby and collectors who are not in a club. It ran competitions for young people to design a stamp featuring Scarborough. The winners were Joe Moorehouse, 9, Ben Moorehouse, 11, Lottie Smith, 12, Maia Dowey, 9, Frank

Poppin’ Our Clogs festival at Woodend THE show was a warm-up for the inaugural Poppin’ Our Clogs festival at Woodend, on Saturday 30 June and Sunday 1 July. Through performances, talks and workshops, the festival aims to open up a conversation about death and dying as a natural part of life. The volunteer-led, not-for-profit event will involve carers, relatives and friends who are concerned about the low level of awareness about our rights and choices when it comes to the end of life. It is the brainchild of Denise Gilfoyle, former head of the Stephen Joseph Theatre’s community outreach team, who says: “It aims to inform, entertain and celebrate by creating a safe space where people can share their experiences and give and receive support. “Our wish was to offer the majority of activities and talks for free. Funding from the National Lottery has made that wish a reality and has given us new purpose to get the message out there. “Talking about and planning what we want at the end of our lives and remembering those

who have gone before is not morbid but lifeaffirming. It allows us to take back control of what happens to us and to be grateful for the life we have and the people who love us. It takes the burden off our loved ones because we have let them know our wishes in advance”. The festival will feature: * A place to write a wish list of achievements and things still to do. * A wish tree to write a message to someone who lives on in memory; to tie a ribbon in an act of remembrance. The tree will be planted with the messages buried beneath it after the festival. * Films and stories will be shown, from Dying Matters and the USA. * Songs chosen for funerals will be played throughout the day. Songs can be requested if they can be found on Spotify. * Leaflets, booklets, books, poetry, a list of resources and a suggestion box for future events, hot drinks, cake and scones will be available. * Visitors will be able to sign up to volunteer at St Catherine’s and Poppin’ Our Clogs 2019.

One-woman show about death Words and photo by Dave Barry WATCHED by about 40 people, Liz Rothschild stepped into her coffin and laid down in it. Her cheeky, insouciant smile seemed to challenge the notion that there might have been anything odd or sacrosanct about it. During a bravura performance, the actor occasionally added willow sheaves to what was clearly a work in progress. By the end of her tour the coffin will be complete, and at the end of her life, Liz will be in it, she said. It was part of Outside the Box, a onewoman show about death, at Woodend in Scarborough. Written and performed by Liz, it has had rave reviews nationally and at the Edinburgh Festival. Besides acting, Liz is a funeral celebrant and the owner of a green burial ground in Oxfordshire which was voted best cemetery in 2015. She has been collecting stories from her

work for years. She has combined them with her own experiences to create a lifeaffirming, taboo-busting and often funny show that lifts the lid on mortality and invites its audience to address the elephant in the room. Her show was comprised of a series of anecdotes interspersed with music, such as Always Look on the Bright Side of Life, and weaving her willow coffin.

BUDDING performers are being invited to apply for scholarships at the Pauline Quirke Academy of Performing Arts, which has over 170 academies nationwide. Successful applicants will be awarded a yearlong scholarship which will cover the cost of their weekly tuition fees, uniform, additional masterclasses and group examinations at Trinity College London. “They will receive £1,056 worth of help, with the overall value of PQA’s 2018 scholarship standing at nearly £180,000”, says spokesperson Maxine Poole. “At PQA, we believe performing-arts education should be accessible to all, regardless of ability or previous experience, but understand that pursuing performing arts can be a huge commitment for students and

their families. “Often perceived as a soft option compared to hobbies such as swimming, football or a stint with the scouts, performing arts are hugely beneficial for children and young people – more so than many people realise”, Maxine says. Academy principal Pauline says: “I started PQA in 2007 with my husband Steve Sheen. Fast forward to 2018 and we now have over 170 academies UK wide offering our unique performing arts experience to young people. This makes me so proud, as some of my happiest memories as a child were attending theatre school”. n For further information and to apply, visit www.pqacademy.com/pqa-scholarships.

Art with an edge A HOWDEN artist will be the demonstrator for Scarborough Art Society on 4 July. Heather Burton says she is probably a frustrated plasterer at heart because her speciality is painting with palette knives. “There’s something very spontaneous and exhilarating about working in acrylic with a knife and I’m always discovering new techniques and finishes”. Heather is a magazine journalist specialising in homes and interiors; she uses art as a way of unwinding from the demands of her career. She will be at Queen Street Methodist Church’s lower hall ready to begin Seascape and Harbour at 7pm.

Ryedale Festival returns to Scarborough by Dave Barry THE Orchestra of Opera North returns to the Spa Grand Hall on 21 July, as part of Ryedale Festival, which is branching out to Scarborough. Conducted by Renato Balsadonna, the 45-piece ensemble will perform Elgar’s Sea Pictures and two symphonies: Beethoven’s fifth and Brahms’ fourth. The Elgar will feature mezzo-soprano soloist Kathryn Rudge, who says: “The Sea Pictures are an adventure, providing onlookers with moments to observe the scene, to hold each other close through all weathers, discover an ethereal calm, reflect upon the mystical qualities of the landscape and to contemplate the power of the crashing waves. “At times the wonder of the sea is indescribable, but Elgar knew so well how to portray it through music that captures our emotions and imagination; that moment when you look out and see the horizon across a vast expanse of

water and it takes your breath away”, Kathryn says. Ryedale Festival has a second Scarborough concert, at St Martin’s Church on 25 July. Vocal ensemble I Fagiolini will present Sacred & Profane, a programme of religious motets performed alongside Monteverdi’s secular madrigals. The concert will follow a talk by director Robert Hollingworth. Tickets cost £25 for the Spa and £20 for the church; under-25s pay half. They can be booked by ringing 01751 475777 and online at www.ryedalefestival.com.

from Alaska to Switzerland. The alt-country of Lachlan Bryan and the Wildes is influenced by Leonard Cohen, Billy Bragg, Willie Nelson and Townes van Zandt. Chris says: “They have won numerous awards in their native Australia and are making a return visit to Scarborough after a wellreceived debut last year. “Lachlan is a good old-fashioned storyteller with a knack of unearthing great melodies that complement his wonderful narrative-driven songs. “He's a throwback to the great singersongwriters of the 60s and 70s and has an engaging stage presence”.

Tribute to guitarist at annual charity gig THE annual charity gig by Nearly Famous is on 21 July at the Roscoe Rooms in Roscoe Street, Scarborough. A musical tribute will be paid by band member Pete Liley to Mick Hill, who died shortly after last year’s gig. Mick Hill was a well known local guitarist who played with Jonty and the Strangers in the 1960s and Hamps Tramps later on. Nearly Famous invited him to join them as a guest guitarist at last year’s charity gig; it was his last performance. Nearly Famous have recorded a CD featuring guest artists Anna Shannon, Roy Piper, Dave Brown, Dave Cook and Paul Garbutt, who will join them at the gig (except Roy). The band is made up of members of groups which were popular in Scarborough in the 60s and 70s. They are Jonty Hartley of Jonty and the Strangers, which Pete’s wife Rhona says was

the first rock band to play in Scarborough; Pete Liley of the Moonshots and the Mandrakes, which featured a young Robert Palmer; Bob Woodyatt and Graham Trousdale of the Incas; and Pete Jackson, who played drums with Brave New World. Paul Murray will be the DJ and compere.

It’s in aid of Macmillan Nurses. The doors will be open from 7.30pm until 11.30pm. Tickets cost £7.50 and are on sale at Record Revivals in Northway.

Frank James - good Meditation classes news and bad news Words and photos by Dave Barry ONE of the Scarborough area’s most popular musicians is to retire at the end of the year. It’s good news for Frank James, who is looking forward to a well-earned retirement. But it’s bad news for the music groups Frank play with, who are seeking replacements. Frank, who will 75 in January, says his “ears are not what they were - a spot of the Beethoven’s!” He keeps his fingers active by practising for two hours a day. “So, as a soloist as well as an accompanist, there’s a bit of continuous pressure on, which I can manage without at this time of life”. Frank will continue teaching privately but is looking forward to having more time to spend on gardening, travelling and his everexpanding family - his 16th grandchild was born recently. Over the decades, he has probably played with every local musical ensemble worth its salt. At the moment, he provides accompaniment for Scarborough Choral Society and Hackness Choir. With Steve Maltby, he plays frequent concerts in Whitby on organ and piano. He gives lunchtime concerts in Bridlington,

several summer concerts at South Cliff Methodist Church and plays at services at his church in Ravenscar. The only performances he has agreed to next year are Maria Billington’s lunchtime concerts at the library; the season ends in April. Frank has been giving pre-concert talks for Scarborough Symphony Orchestra for years. The last will be at Queen Street Central Hall on 14 July. n For details about playing accompaniment for the Choral Society, email Janet Bates on janet@drivingaspirations. co.uk. To join Hackness Choir, ring Karen Torkington on 07791 727595 or email chairofhacknessladies@gmail.com.

Scalby Fair was the best yet Words and photos by Dave Barry THIS year’s Scalby Fair was possibly the best and most successful yet, going by the numbers and weather. Each event enjoyed record attendances, starting with a slick and professional sellout performance of Wow! That’s What I Call Musicals, by Tony Peers at the parish hall. More children and adults entered the two runs than before and 48 families took part in the treasure hunt - another record. In the Naggs Head beer garden / carpark, a beer festival featuring North Riding and Wold Top ales and a gig by Soul Rida were well attended. The preview of a flower festival at St Laurence’s Church enjoyed a good turnout. Choir master and organist Chris Wright, who played piano, stood up to stiff competition from Gary Barlow at the open-air theatre. The fine weather will have helped break the records, even if gardeners and farmers were fretting about the dry earth and hoping for rain. Fair day saw another record shattered. It was for the number of stalls - 62.

Newby & Scalby Library volunteers had the best-dressed stall (to order photos ring 353597)

Children were entertained by Magic Mike

Many of the people running the stalls wore fancy dress reflecting the fair theme of Captain Cook’s voyages, on the 250th anniversary of the start of his trip down under on HMS Endeavour. Given the effort they put into it, no-one can have been surprised when Newby & Scalby Library won the prize for the best-dressed stall. Theirs was decorated like a side-view of the Endeavour. Trustees and volunteers dressed as Cook (Isobel Nixon), a Christmas Islander (Ray Lightfoot), a Cook Islander (Alison Jose), an Easter/Egg Islander (Jennie Schmuck), a Sandwich Islander (Jean Malton), an Australian (David Lewis), a South-Sea Islander (Lesley Newton) and a Green Islander (Roger Hopkin). June Watson, Brian Jose, Margaret Hopkin, Debbie Morgan, Sue Turner and Tricia Hodgson were sailors.

Lionel Richie and Gary Barlow fill the Open-Air Theatre THE day before his 69th birthday, Lionel Richie kicked off a new season of shows at Scarborough’s Open-Air Theatre by filling it with fans. The ex-Commodore looked fit and well as he reprised his lengthy catalogue of hits including the 1985 charity single We Are the World. Co-written with Michael Jackson, it sold over 20m copies. Richie has sold over 90m records worldwide, making him one of the world’s best-selling artists of all time. Promoters Cuffe and Taylor were also happy with the attendances for the next three shows, by the Script, Gary Barlow (which sold out) and Nile Rodgers & Chic. More than 82,000 people have bought tickets for this summer’s series of gigs at Europe’s largest open-air arena. Cuffe and Taylor, who hope the figure will rise to 100,000, say the venue’s attendance record has been smashed for the third year in a row. Coming up next are Steps (29 June), Alfie Boe (30 June), Emeli Sandé (5 July), Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds (6 July), Stereophonics (19 July), Pete Tong (20 July), Il Divo (21 July), James Arthur (26 July), Bastille (28 July), Texas (11 Aug), Britney Spears (17 Aug) and James (18 Aug).

Scarborough Ladies FC play in the City of York girls football league. The club’s under-14s won their league and were awarded a trophy and medals, as were the under-16 squad, who finished as runners-up in their league. Three girls were inducted into the 100 Club. Eboney Stewart, Emma Willis and Jolie Matthews made over 100 league and cup appearances for the club.

The other nominees were Chloe McArthur (U7), Lexi Simmons (U9), Grace Pickering (U11), Naomi Paddock (U12), Sophie McArthur (U13), Poppy Simpson (U15), Bronwyn Adams (U16) and Emily Calcraft (U18). There were emotional scenes as some of the under-18 squad said farewell to coach Colin Hepples after 10 years at the club. Colin will now be dropping back down to the under-9 squad to start the cycle all over again. A spokesman said: “The club would like to thank all players, parents, carers and sponsors for their phenomenal support throughout the season”. Scarborough Ladies FC welcome girls of all ages and abilities. Anyone interested in playing, sponsoring or volunteering should ring Colin on 07767 146408 for further details.

Golfers play in heavy downpour “Atrociously wet conditions” hampered the second of two rounds of golf at South Cliff Golf Club in Scarborough. The first round of the South Cliff Ladies’ Challenge Cup competition passed off well, with 20 players posting competitive scores. But the skies opened and released a heavy downpour on the second day, drenching

everyone. The first-round leaders held on to their leads and Caroline Woodhouse (handicap 20) came first in division 1 with Judy Locking (14) taking second place. In division 2, the honours went to Sandra Massender (27) with Karen Blake (30) in second place.

FROM THE SIDELINES

July 2018 - Issue 59

A review of the local Football scene.... BY STE VE ADAMSON

DARREN’S MOSCOW ADVENTURE

SCARBOROUGH ATHLETIC FC PRE SEASON

By Steve Adamson

SCARBOROUGH Athletic have lined up a varied programme of ten pre-season fixtures in preparation for the 2018-19 campaign. Having won promotion last season, Steve Kittrick’s side have stepped up to the Evo Stik Premier Division. The new season gets underway on Saturday 18 August.

BORO season ticket holder Darren Trapps and his son Josh have just returned from Russia after watching five matches in the opening week of the World Cup finals. Scarborough born Darren, who now lives at Boston in Lincolnshire was at the opening match in Moscow to see Russia demolish Saudi Arabia 5-0, and also watched Mexico shock reigning champions Germany 1-0, as well as Iceland holding Argentina to a 1-1 draw. He saw Christiano Ronaldo star for Portugal in their 1-0 win against Morocco, and attended the Senegal v Poland match which the Africans won 2-1. Highlights for Darren included the non stop noise of the colourful Senegal fans and the wonderful hospitality and friendly reception from the Russian people, in stark contrast to the media predictions of trouble and racism. Boro fans, Darren and Josh, thoroughly enjoyed their time in Russia, and both are now looking forward to following Scarborough Athletic in the Evo Stik League Premier Division next season.

SCARBOROUGH CRICKET CLUB By Steve Adamson SCARBOROUGH have maintained their fine run in Yorkshire Premier League North, and they sit 5th in the table after ten matches. York lead the way with 82 points, followed by Sheriff Hutton on 76 and Woodhouse Grange on 69. Next come Stamford Bridge with 63 points, with Scarborough close behind on 61 points. Highlights of recent matches include a five wicket haul for Jack Holt in a thumping win against Harrogate, an unbeaten half century from Ben Elvidge in a 4 wicket defeat of Acomb, and a battling performance to secure a losing draw away at league leaders York. There was an early exit from the Hunters T20 Blast though, as Acomb won through on run rate from the three team group at Stamford Bridge.

THE SANDS GULLS’ LIFETIME AWARD went to club legend BILLY FREEMAN A terrific evening of celebration and reminiscence was enjoyed and since then the players have been enjoying a well-deserved rest before pre-season training which resumes later this month I had hoped to bring you some news on player recruitment for the challenges ahead in North One next season but it’s early days yet and the club’s Coaching staff are keeping their cards very close to their chests but I do hope to have news on new players and plans in next month’s Review. However the fixtures for NORTH ONE (EAST) have been announced by the RUGBY FOOTBALL UNION (RFU) and Scarborough have been handed a very tough start to the season with three away games and only one at home in their first four fixtures. The Seasiders travel to Bradford & Bingley on the opening day (September 1st) followed by a trip to Bridlington a week later. The first game at Silver Royd is against Cleckheaton on the 15th of September then they’re back on the road a week later at Huddersfield. The lead-up to Christmas will however be a busy time for the club with three out of four

Did you hang on to your final tax disk? Although the UK has been using the online system of car tax registry since 2014, tax disks are still in high demand, but now with collectors rather than motorists. Although very old disks, some

dating back to the first year of mandatory car tax in 1921, can sell for thousands, recent disks from this this past decade can still be of interest. Recently a set of 12 from 2015 sold for £500 on eBay; purchased by one of a growing group of enthusiasts called velologists (‘vel’ from Vehicle Excise License). So... did you keep it? If so, drinks

Mental rentals At this time of year the police tend to see a spike in a certain kind of scam – rental fraud. This usually takes the form of students looking for accommodation for the forthcoming academic year, or holiday-makers looking for shortterm holiday homes. Scammers target these people and contact them about properties that either do not exist at all, or that have already been rented to other people – often multiple victims at once. According to Action Fraud, the organisation that fights to make people aware of such scams, more 18,000 rental scam reports have been made to them over the past four years, with the average person losing up to £1300. Often the scammers ask for up-front

payments for a few month's rent, or charge crazy fees for so-called processing admin. Scam adverts can look genuine, with photos and details of the property, and some even invite people to view the place prior to taking any money. To protect yourself against fraud of this kind, wherever possibly (especially if you're a student) try to go through an agency to rent a house. Also, be sure to visit any property you plan to rent before any money changes hands, and never feel pressured into transferring large sums of money. Students, check with your Students' Union for an approved list of landlords, while everyone else can check with the National Approved letting Scheme.
