Young bus fan gets special treatment from drivers A LITTLE boy with a rare medical condition and a bus obsession has won a lot of friends at the bus depot in Westwood, Scarborough. Kieran Dube, 5, knows all the local bus routes and most of the drivers at East Yorkshire Motor Services, or EYMS. The bus company staff have adopted him as one of their own, giving him a log book, a lanyard for his bus pass and a bag and woolly hat with the company logo on. EYMS chief engineer Robert Gibson gave him a push-model of one of the company’s coaches and Arriva gave him a highvisibility jacket. “The drivers have been following Kieran’s story ever since we found out he is a bus enthusiast and are always interested in what he’s been up to”, explained driver and relief controller Miles Cartwright. Miles, who has known Kieran for two

or three years, said staff had a photo of him in the depot office. Kieran’s mum Rachel added: “He’d be on buses all the time if he could. We

go to bus rallies and he knows every bus in Scarborough and all the routes. “Because of his disabilities, he can’t do physical activities so we have bus

days two or three times a month”, Rachel says. “He has osteogenisis imperfecta, which makes his bones fragile and they break easily. “With the help of EYMS bus drivers, McDonald's drive-thru and Slimming World Cayton’s 5pm and 7pm groups, Kieran raised £170 for the Brittle Bone Society, who support people with the condition. “He has a Facebook page called Kierans Osteogenesis Imperfecta story”.

Burglar locked up for 17 months The A teenage burglar who targeted small businesses in Scarborough has been locked up for 17 months. Burglar Jordan J o r d a n Eastwood Eastwood, 19, stole hundreds of pounds in cash and equipment from two hairdressers, a pizzeria and a newsagent between 4 February and 16 April.

One of the businesses, a gents hairdresser, was unable to open following the break-in, losing out on earnings due to Eastwood stealing essential equipment such as dryers and clippers. Eastwood, from Ossett near Wakefield, was sentenced to 32 weeks’ detention at a young offenders institute. In addition, he was given a 16week sentence for a burglary in West Yorkshire and six months for breaching a suspended

sentence. Detective Constable Jade Gallagher-Barrass said: “Over an 11-week period, Eastwood wreaked havoc among small business owners in Scarborough. They had their premises broken into, businesses and lives interrupted and earnings affected by his selfish actions. “I hope his sentence sends out a clear message to other criminals who look to target small businesses in

Scarborough. The police will pursue you, convict you and put you in front of the courts to ensure justice is done. “I also hope the sentence handed to Eastwood and knowing he has been put behind bars for over a year, provides some reassurance to those business owners whose livelihoods were affected by his thieving”.

Public toilets to be reinstated by council TWO sets of public toilets are being reinstated by Scarborough Council. The authority’s new cabinet has approved: * temporary loos on Royal Albert Drive for this year’s summer tourist season; * the refurbishment and reopening of toilets near the Shuttleworth clock tower on the Esplanade, at a cost of £51,000.

The previous block in Royal Albert Drive, and the neighbouring cafe, were demolished to make way for a new private development. However, according to the planning portal on the council’s website, no planning applications have been accepted yet. A businessman with the novel idea of creating a café in an old Sea King helicopter on the site was

turned down. The toilets at Holbeck clock tower closed in 2017. New ones are planned as part of the South Cliff Gardens redevelopment. Temporary facilities will cover the interim period. The council leader, Cllr Steve Siddons, said: “The old cabinet consulted on the toilet closures in 2017. The public response was that the council should

Woman who filmed child while driving is banned A SCARBOROUGH woman got a ban after filming a young child while driving. Kerry White, 35, compounded her offence by posting the video on Facebook. The police have also posted the film on Facebook as a warning to others. White filmed the child, who Kerry White

was in the passenger seat, while driving on Woodland Ravine and Manor Road in Scarborough on 16 December 2017. She was caught after a member of the public reported her video to the police, who identified the vehicle and location. They took the film from White’s phone. White refused to answer questions and pleaded not guilty to driving a vehicle

dangerously. But prior to her trial at York crown court, she changed her plea to guilty. She was given a 12-month driving ban and a six-month prison sentence, suspended for a year. And she was ordered to do 20 days unpaid work and pay a £115 victim surcharge. Road policing officer Mark Patterson said: “As the footage clearly shows, White’s As a member you will meet other businesses and build contacts for selling your products and services.

provide essential toilets where no-one else can, which didn't happen in these two locations. It was wrong to leave key tourist areas with inadequate toilet provision and I am pleased we are correcting that. This reversal does of course need funding and we now need to review other less essential non-statutory projects”.

It’s only through sheer luck that she wasn’t involved in a serious collision. “Her blatant disregard for the safety of the child and traffic laws could have ended tragically and the consequences of her actions had she lost control of her vehicle don’t bear thinking about”.

20,000 people to attend Armed Forces Day YORKSHIRE’S largest Armed Forces Day will be staged in Scarborough on 29 June. It will be the 11th time the town has hosted the event. Scarborough Council estimates that about 20,000 people attend Armed Forces Day and hopes the figure will increase tenfold when the town hosts the national event next year. Zooming around the sky above the south bay will be a variety of aircraft representing generations old and new, including a Typhoon, Spitfire, Tucano and Calidus Autogyro. The Tucano display team, from 72 Squadron based at RAF Linton on Ouse, will make their last visit to Scarborough before the Tucano is phased out in 2020, following three decades in RAF service. It will be the only public display by the aircraft in Yorkshire this year.

An RAF Battle of Britain memorial flight Spitfire is a regular visitor to Scarborough, representing Yorkshire’s efforts during WW2. It will be joined by the Eurofighter Typhoon FGR4 of 29 Squadron. Both aircraft are based at RAF Coningsby in Lincolnshire. In addition to the RAF displays, there will be an appearance by the Calidus Autogyro, half helicopter and half aeroplane. The unusual aircraft will be piloted by Peter Davies. Scarborough RNLI’s inshore and offshore lifeboats will mount a joint display. This was originally planned to involve the coastguard’s Sikorsky helicopter, which has stopped giving public displays. Scarborough Council’s Armed Forces Day project officer, Rowena Marsden, described the event as “one of the biggest

and most popular annual events on the Yorkshire coast. The breath-taking air displays are, for many spectators, the highlight of the day and this year’s line-up will be no exception. “More information about the exciting range of land-based displays, parades and activities that make up the event will be made available in the coming weeks”. * Scarborough RNLI’s inshore and offshore lifeboats will mount a joint display. It was originally planned to involve the coastguard’s Sikorsky helicopter, which has stopped giving public displays. On the same day, the lifeboats will be launched at about 9.30am to take part in the start of the North Sea yacht race, which starts at 10am.

Annual walk proceeds leap by 50% THE 42nd Crown Tavern walk raised much more than the organisers estimated, making it the most successful since its inception. “We had 141 walkers and it looks like we’ve raised over £8,000”, said Tracey Shaw, shortly after the walk. But by the time all the sponsorship money had been raked in and Gift Aid had been added, the figure had risen by 50% to £12,250. The proceeds were shared between 13 local charities at a presentation evening. Trophies and certificates were presented to many of the walkers. Tracey said: “It is always a fabulous evening as it brings walkers together with the beneficiaries they have fundraised for and they know where every penny they have raised has been distributed”.

Conman who targeted elderly and vulnerable jailed

Doing time: Patrick Christopher Dunne

A young conman who targeted elderly and vulnerable people in Scarborough, charging thousands of pounds for unnecessary work, has been jailed. Patrick Christopher Dunne, 20, pleaded guilty to 34 counts of fraud and consumer protection offences and laundering the proceeds of his offences. He was sentenced to two years and nine months at York crown court. Trading standards officers identified numerous victims in North Yorkshire and the West Midlands who had been visited by Dunne between February 2017 and May 2018, when he was arrested. The court was told he would offer to carry out inexpensive quick fixes and then inform the householders he had “discovered” further problems. Trading as Phoenix Roofing, Dunne charged significantly more for the additional work, sometimes running into thousands of pounds. He was prosecuted in relation to 17 victims, including elderly and vulnerable people. Among them were: * A man aged 84 who agreed to have dry-verge capping installed on his roof at a cost of £300. Dunne then told him the batons were rotten, some

tiles had holes in and the roof needed cleaning. He charged the victim £6,500. * A woman aged 76 who came home to find her ill husband had agreed to Dunne carrying out work to their roof for £180. Dunne later demanded £2,250 from her. * A woman aged 67 who lived on her own who agreed for Dunne to put dry-verge capping on her roof for £180. Dunne then told her the felt and wooden batons were rotten and charged her £4,000. An expert surveyor, who examined the roof as part of the case, found the work should have cost no more than £760 and that Dunne’s efforts had led to further repairs costing another £750. Sentencing Dunne, judge Sean Morris told him: “In my view, you embarked on a deliberate course of conduct, targeting elderly and vulnerable people to make money for yourself. Some have been affected financially, some are fearful that somebody will come back and others are disgusted at themselves for no good reason. How you live with yourself I do not know. These courts will protect the elderly and vulnerable. When people are brought to book, and it’s

expensive to do so for this kind of offence, the proper punishment must be seen to be handed out. This has to be looked at as a campaign of targeting elderly people”. The daughter of an 85-yearold victim said: “This case is a warning to any families or friends of vulnerable people. These 'tradesmen' are very persuasive, convincing and threatening. We had no idea our dad had had someone to do anything on the roof until after his money had been taken. It's a horrible thought that someone was in the house watching him make a payment from his account. It could have been a lot worse”.

It was an emotional evening for Tracey and her colleagues Jane Moment, Ray Springall and Sue North as it was their last as organisers. The walk is now in the capable hands of the town’s two Rotary clubs.“We are confident they will do a great job”, Tracey said. “They will certainly have wholehearted support from our beneficiary groups that we have been so proud and privileged to work with”.

Climate strikes backed Masons donate £200 at Spa conference to gardens project THE Green Party has called for adults to join children in the global strike against climate change later this year. At its conference in Scarborough, the party’s coleaders backed climate strikes such as those carried out in the town by schoolchildren. In a joint speech at the Spa, Jonathan Bartley and Siân Berry said: “Young people have laid down a challenge. Today we are joining that call for a global strike in September. “Tell your friends. Tell your family. Tell your employers that the emergency is right here, right now. And we must strike for the climate”. The leaders backed a Green New Deal to counter the

climate-change emergency and demand that the Government scrap Trident nuclear weapons, ditch HS2 and reject new nuclear power plants. The conference came after a successful period for the Green Party, which achieved record results in the local and European elections. Among the delegates were most of the UK’s 265 Green councillors including Scarborough’s two new Green councillors, Will Forbes and Neil Robinson. Recent polling has seen the party achieve its best-ever position in general election voting intention polls and seen the environment shoot towards the top of people’s concerns. Delegates moving from the Spa

Grand Hall to the Suncourt cafe walked through Archway for the Children, a collection of plastic beach toys gathered from the south bay by one person over two weeks. Artist Gabrielle Naptali said: “It contrasted with infinitely recyclable and biodegradable materials in the form of a 10ft frame donated by Jo Davis and hand-made flowers. “I hope it reminded the SBC councillors that they voted to declare a climate emergency”. With help from former Green borough councillor Mark Vesey, the arch was transferred to the Town Hall for two weeks before moving to the Market Hall during world wellness big week.

SCARBOROUGH freemasons have contributed to a project to restore and transform public gardens on the south side of town. The Denison lodge of the masons has donated £200 to Saving South Cliff Gardens. A cheque was presented to Adrian Perry of Scarborough & District Civic Society, which is involved with the project, by masons Tom Tomlinson and Alan Hargreaves. A few months ago, the project received a massive boost when the National Lottery Heritage Fund awarded a grant of £4,665,700. It means the total funding for the scheme is now just over £7m. This will rescue the gardens from a point of critical decline and breathe new life into them.

The project includes a singlestorey wooden building with a room for meetings and for children to learn about nature. The community hub will feature possibly the first e-bike recharging point in North Yorkshire.

To be built with larch or maple to blend with the surroundings, it is an enlargement of the current gardener’s building, hidden behind bushes near the rose garden.

NEWS IN BRIEF Produce show

THE 12th Newby and Scalby produce show will take place in the community hall on 28 July. The 150 classes include produce, handicrafts, photography and cookery. The show will have refreshments, a tombola and a pick-a-square game, says secretary Margaret Thompson.

A Scarborough woman has raised £1,751 for charity by recycling baby food pouches in memory of her daughter. Heather Othick’s daughter Ellie raised over £25,000 for worthy causes before she died of a brain tumour aged 14 in 2017. Now her mum has raised £1,751 for Ellie’s Fund, in Ellie’s memory, by collecting 90,918 baby food pouches through EllaCycle. There are three drop-off places in the Review’s distribution area: Unit 4 at the Street in Scarborough, 103 Garth End Road in West Ayton and Hunmanby primary school.

GREENPEACE activists and supporters wore blue and created a big wave outside Scarborough Spa on world oceans day. They were taking part in the launch of a global campaign to show world leaders how many people care about the oceans and want to protect them. The environmental group mobilised people all around the world, getting them to wear blue and create human waves to demonstrate their love for the oceans. Similar events were staged and filmed all over the world. The films will be edited and stitched together to show one big global wave. “It was good fun event visually, as we invited people on the beach to join us, sign our petition and write a message to the government”, said Greenpeace activist Jane Hayes of the Yorkshire coast Greenpeace group.

Group coordinator Christopher Bunce added: “The aim is that together with other countries around the world, the UN can create ocean sanctuaries in the world’s most compromised areas. The campaign is expected to continue until late July, so it was great to showcase Scarborough as one of the first venues”. Jane said: “Healthy oceans are one of our best allies against a changing climate, as marine life capture and store large amounts of carbon. But they are under threat from overfishing, deep sea mining and plastic pollution. Currently, less than 5% of the world’s oceans are protected. Greenpeace is asking the UK government to drive ambition at the next wave of negotiations in August and make a strong global ocean treaty a reality. The final decision on the treaty is expected at the United

Nations in spring next year. “Ocean sanctuaries provide relief and resilience for wildlife and ecosystems to recover”, Jane said. “We depend on our oceans for food and to protect us from climate change. They are a vital habitat for the sea creatures we know and love, such as whales and turtles. “Our government must now surf this wave of support and push for a strong treaty at the upcoming UN negotiations. It’s vital that we protect at least 30% of our oceans by 2030”.

Specialists take on autism service for under-18s A SPECIALIST mental health care provider is set to take on autism assessments for children and young people in Scarborough and Ryedale. The Retreat provides highquality, personalised autism and ADHD services to adults, children and young people across the North. The new service will involve face-to-face appointments and virtual consultations. “The Retreat has a reputation for excellence and will bring a level of experience and expertise to the table that we believe will significantly

enhance these services for children and young people and lead to reduced waiting times and a speedier diagnosis”, said Dr Peter Billingsley, the associate chair of the NHS Scarborough and Ryedale Clinical Commissioning Group and the lead for mental health services in North Yorkshire. Dr Kim Bevan of the Retreat added: ““Here at the Retreat we already assess, diagnose and support many people who are on the autism spectrum. Our team of clinicians and health professionals achieve excellent outcomes for these people and

One of the prospective contributors who turned up on the West Pier was artist Karen Thompson, who had a bee in her bonnet about the amount of litter people drop on the beach. BBC publicist Karen Williams added: “Since 2012, we have been collecting intimate conversations between friends and relatives, to build a unique picture of our lives today. We have collected over a thousand so far, covering everything from living with Alzheimer’s to falling in love in the front seat of a Reliant Robin. Most

will be broadcast across BBC radio, while all are archived by the British Library, preserving them for future generations”. The Listening Project was inspired by StoryCorps, an initiative set up in the United States. Its mission is “to provide Americans of all backgrounds and beliefs with the opportunity to record, share and preserve the stories of our lives”. The conversations are stored at the Library of Congress.

Archaeologists at one of the castle trenches (to order photos ring 353597)

A ROMAN hygiene tool, civil-war musket balls and a military dog-tag have been unearthed at an archaeological excavation at Scarborough castle. Over two weekends, Scarborough Archaeological and Historical Society, in conjunction with English Heritage, dug trenches near the former Roman signal station, built in about 370 CE. The diggers found a multipurpose Roman hygiene implement, musket balls fired during the 1645 siege in the civil war, an identity tag possibly for an RAF wing

commander and a WW2 Colman’s mustard tin. With thousands of years of human use, the castle headland is the town’s richest, most promising archaeological site. In 1980, a bronze sword estimated at 3,000 years old was found under a wall. People started living on the headland in about 800 BCE. It was fortified in the 12th century and last used defensively in 1745. In the 1920s, much of the land was levelled to create a football ground and running track. Earth was piled in mounds, one of which was the

site of the latest excavation. The archaeologists wanted to know if anything interesting was deposited in the mound along with the soil - perhaps fragments of prehistoric and Roman pottery and objects from the medieval period. A spokesman said: “We had some spectacular finds, from old orange bottles to military dog tags and a clay-pipe bowl”. All the discoveries were bagged and tagged by the volunteers. n An archeology day will be held outside the Rotunda Museum on 20 July, from 10am.

The project is a partnership between Radio 4, BBC local radio and the British Library. It encourages people, one or two at a time, to record their thoughts on subjects close to their hearts.

Off-season park-and-ride buses scrapped BOTH of Scarborough’s parkand-ride bus services are to be scrapped for five months over winter and spring to save £150,000 a year. They were introduced in 2009 at sites on Seamer Road and Filey Road. Buses run every 15 minutes along a circular route,

stopping in the south bay and York Place. In 2011, the system removed an average of 500 vehicles a day from the town centre and 533,162 passengers used the sites. But since then, the numbers have steadily declined. In 2018-

19, 284,021 passengers used the buses, at a cost of £496,000. North Yorkshire County Council has now decided to stop the service on 1 November. It will resume on 1 April, except when Easter falls earlier, in which case it will operate from Good Friday.

One of the other two ward councillors, Jim Grieve, was also present. The unveiling was timed

to coincide with the Great Get-Together, in memory of murdered MP Jo Cox. Communities up and down the country got together to celebrate kindness, respect and all we have in common. After the unveiling, many of those present put up picnic tables on the grassy area between Ashburn Road and Weaponness Valley Road. A larger picnic was staged in the Crescent gardens. Coordinated by ceramic artist Gaby Naptali, about 80 volunteers assembled

the colourful mosaic, which measures 3.5 by 1.5 metres. It was commissioned by the Weaponness Valley Community Group, launched a few years ago in response to the area’s huge construction projects. The materials, which cost £5,000, were paid for by the county council via Weaponness county councillor Callam Walsh’s locality budget. The mosaic has been installed next to a piece of carved sandstone known as the Sea Dragon, near the University Training College (UTC). The mosaic features the castle; Oriel Bank with a cricketer and a dog chasing the same ball; the railway and the big red brick railway bridge; Oliver’s Mount and a racing motorcyclist; UTC, Coventry University’s Scarborough complex and the sport centre; the cherry-tree orchard and daffodil hill; and Trinity Church flats. Wildlife includes a donkey, a fox, a heron and a deer.

5% rise in kittiwake population Words & photos by Dave Barry SCARBOROUGH’S kittiwake population has risen by about 5%. Ornithologists Steven Wignill and Nick Addey spent two days conducting an annual survey of kittiwake nests. They recorded 1,773 occupied nests on the castle cliffs and 768 around the town and harbour, an increase over the last year of 2.6% and 13.4% respectively. Overall, an additional 136 nests were counted. Of the main town sites, the Grand Hotel has 296 nests (268 in 2018), the Spa Bridge has 204 (179) and the town hall has 85 (72). Aberdeen Walk is a new nest site, with two built

over the last year. The kittiwake is a protected bird. A small species of gull, it is on a list of birds facing extinction. Globally, the species is thought to have declined by around 40% since the 1970s. Climate change and fishing that sets aside too little for the birds are pushing the kittiwake closer to extinction. Alarming trends have been recorded in the UK’s kittiwake numbers, particularly in Orkney and Shetland, where breeding birds have declined by 87% since 2000, and on St Kilda in the Western Isles, where 96% of the breeding population has been lost. Laura Bambini, RSPB Scotland’s seabird recovery officer, said: “Efforts are under

way to protect important seabird foraging areas in international waters, but there is much more we could do around the UK to protect our internationally important and increasingly threatened seabird populations”. In the North Sea, sand-eels provide a vital food source for breeding seabirds and are crucial to the breeding success of kittiwakes. However, they are also the target of the industrial sand-eel fishery. Recent research has shown that UK seabird populations depend on the same sandeel stocks, highlighting the importance of continuing to work with other countries on fisheries management after leaving the European Union. Rising sea temperatures due to

climate change threaten sandeels, so kittiwake food supplies could be affected by both local and large-scale processes. Dr Euan Dunn, the RSPB’s marine-policy specialist, said: “We need to ensure that the management of the sand-eel fishery is sustainable. If our internationally important populations of seabirds are going to cope with climate change, then we need to make sure industrial fisheries are not adding to their problems. “This is an example of why fisheries policy is vital to the health of our seas. Our thinking on fisheries and marine protection must be as joined up as the seas on which we all rely”.

New £41,500 minibus Disability group celebrates 30th anniversary named after longserving volunteer A £41,500 grant has enabled a Scarborough transport charity to buy a new wheelchairfriendly minibus. Dial a Ride has named it Derek after one of its longest serving volunteers. Derek Sedman has been a passenger escort for over 13 years. The charity is one of 150 nationwide to receive funding from the Garfield Weston Foundation’s 60th anniversary fund. The VW Caddy Max minibus has low fold-out side steps with hi-vis grab rails to make it easier for passengers to get on and off independently. A rear tail lift can safely accommodate passengers requiring wheelchair access

and those who find steps difficult to manage. The vehicle can take up to 10 seated passengers and two wheelchair users or 15 seated passengers if none is in a wheelchair. Dial a Ride manager Julie Banks said: “The donation recognises the fantastic work of all our drivers and passenger escorts, 90% of whom are volunteers, and the positive difference they make to our passengers’ lives. Last year, we undertook nearly 33,000 passenger journeys in and around the Scarborough and Filey area. Delivery of this new minibus and the support of the Garfield Weston Foundation means we can not only increase the number of

people we are able to assist but also the geographical area we cover. “Dial a Ride provides transport to some of our most vulnerable residents and is essential in reducing loneliness and social isolation, while at the same time helping to keep people independent and healthy and feeling they are still part of their community”, Julie said”. The charity now has a fleet of nine minibuses and two cars, all wheelchair accessible. The cars are used for longer journeys anywhere in the country. n To find out how to use Dial a Ride, ring 354434 or visit www.scarboroughdialaride.org.

SCARBOROUGH Disability Action Group is celebrating its 30th anniversary with a community fun day on 1 August. It will cover physical, sensory and learning disabilities and mental health for all ages. Other local charities and community groups will highlight equipment, mobility products, transport, employment, education, health and social care, leisure activities and services. The event will feature an opportunity to try adapted sports; a chance to talk to local charities which offer support, guidance and information on a range of topics; and a chance to meet Paddy Billington, DJ Dex and the Love Crew from Yorkshire Coast Radio. The Stephen Joseph Theatre and Creative Day Services will put on performances and activities. The top prize in a

raffle is a night’s stay in a York apartment. Ian Whitfield, who chairs DAG, said: “The day is all about creating opportunities to try something new in a fun, safe and welcoming way. The range of displays gives a taste of what is available in Scarborough. We want people with disabilities to be confident in going out within the community, knowing they will find a warm welcome. We decided to hold the event on Yorkshire Day as it celebrates all that is good

about Yorkshire. There are many amazing charities and community groups in Yorkshire so why not bring them together and showcase how great they are?” DAG manager Tim Vasey added: “We hope it raises awareness of the help that is available to anyone with a disability”. The event will be at the Street, where DAG is based, from 11.30am to 3.30pm. It is being sponsored by Boyes and Proudfoots.

Burniston plant sale raises £900 A plant sale organised by a group of gardening enthusiasts at the village hall in Burniston raised £900 for three good causes: * Newby and Scalby library, which is run by volunteers;

Council leader challenges 44% cut in homeless support SCARBOROUGH Council’s new leader has asked the county council to reverse its decision on the amount of funding it makes available to support the homeless. Cllr Steve Siddons says he felt obliged to agree to a new collaboration agreement with the county council and the six other district councils in North Yorkshire to provide an in-house support service for homeless and vulnerable people. This followed the county council’s decision to slash the funding it gives to its external service provider, Horton Housing, by 44%. Cllr Siddons said: “Government austerity measures continue to impact on society’s most vulnerable. The borough’s poorest are being let down once again by one of the richest counties in the country.

I call on all the borough’s county councillors to insist their executive reverses what amounts to an almost halving of funding support for the homeless. The decision I had to take was necessary as without it we could lose all the funding. We are being backed into a corner by them and the requirements of the TUPE legislation. “My predecessor, Cllr Derek Bastiman, has already spoken out against this and I look forward to continuing that work with him alongside me”. Cllr Siddons said the collaboration agreement was an attempt to make the best out of a difficult situation and get some control over the residual funding available and the direction of the service provided. District council officers previously rejected two alternative service models

presented by the county council on the basis that one would not have provided the bespoke and targeted support required and the other would have left the future of the service uncertain.

A parent and toddler group in West Ayton is thriving, following its recent relaunch. The Derwent Ducklings folded in 2017 due to a lack of volunteers. However, a fundraising and awareness campaign by

parent, volunteer and group leader Sam Merron revived the group, which meets at Ayton Methodist Church on Monday mornings. Among the local businesses supporting it are Linden Homes East Yorkshire, which

recently donated £75. The company is building homes in Middle Deepdale and will start work at 214 Northfield Meadows in Seamer soon.

RNLI anticipates busy Seafest weekend SCARBOROUGH RNLI is looking forward to a busy Seafest fundraising weekend. The lifeboat’s annual flag day on 27 July will be followed by an open day on 28 July. They will coincide with the Seafest festival of music, theatre and cookery demonstrations, centred on the West Pier. On the Saturday, the lifeboathouse will open from 10am. The inshore and allweather lifeboats will be launched at about 1.30pm. The borough mayor, Cllr Hazel Lynskey, will board the Shannon for a quick spin around the bay. This will be followed, at about 3pm, by a joint exercise, possibly with the lifeguards.

Visitors will be able to pose for photos wearing lifeboat gear. Collections will be taken along the seafront, in the town centre and at Proudfoots in Newby from about 9.30am to 4pm. On the Sunday, Rev Richard Walker, lifeboat chaplain and vicar of St Mary’s, will conduct the Seafest church service in the lifeboathouse, starting at 11.15am. The Shannon will be parked on the slipway for the service then moved back into the lifeboathouse, which will be open from noon until early evening. The open day will also have a tombola, a hook-a-duck, a lucky dip, etc. Both days will feature RNLI

mascot Stormy Stan and stalls promoting the RNLI campaigns Respect the Water and Swim Safe. Visitors will be shown around the lifeboathouse and, for a small donation, allowed to board the Shannon. Tea and coffee will be served. Anybody interested in joining the lifeboat crews will be welcome to attend and make enquiries about joining the RNLI team. n Scarborough RNLI was called out by the coastguard when a small angling vessel suffered engine failure. The Sea Hawk, with two people on board, was towed into the harbour by the inshore lifeboat.

Patient raises money Rotarians prepare for for her cancer care outdoor community fair A SCARBOROUGH cancer patient is raising money for the centre where she is being treated. Bonnie Purchon aims to raise £1,000 for the radiotherapy department at Weston Park Cancer Care in Sheffield, where she spent six weeks. Chemotherapy shrank the tumour in Bonnie’s face but she lost the sight in her right eye. “I will find out if I’m in the clear by the back end of the year”, says Bonnie, who raised £197 with a fashion show at Scarborough Bowls Centre. The clothes modelled on the catwalk came from Jacqueline Charles in Trafalgar Square.

AMNESTY STALL

Other fundraising includes an afternoon tea on 2 July which is fully booked and a table-

top sale at the Evron Centre in Filey on 6 July, from 10am1pm.

THE Rotary Club of Scarborough Cavaliers is again organising the town’s community fair, in Westborough on Saturday 10 August, from 10am. The event, started in 1999, enables local charities and community groups to raise their profiles and generate much-needed cash. Club president-elect Tony Graham said: “Many organisations have already

booked space but we have room for lots more and are hoping for new groups to join the party. “It’s always a real treat to see what each organisation does to attract visitors, from terrific tombolas and riotous raffles to colourful cakes and marvellous marmalades, with the odd surprise item to tempt customers to spend their money,” he added. Several stallholders appear

in themed fancy dress which adds to the spectacle. The mayor, Cllr Hazel Lynskey, will select the best-dressed stall, which gives stallholders an opportunity to be creative and inventive with their displays. n Organisations pay £25 per stall. To book, ring Lyndsay Chamberlain on 870310 or email lyndsay@ coberhill.co.uk. The club arranges the tables.

Golden couple’s wedding guests wondered if it would work out

Margaret and Joe Coates celebrate their golden wedding (to order photos ring 353597)

When Margaret Goddard and Joe Coates met, she looked like Cilla Black, with her ironed hair, and he took after George Best - but scruffier. That was at St Martin’s, a teacher training college in Lancaster, over half a century ago. They were only 21. Kids really, though they didn’t think so at the time. They tied the knot a year later. The wedding ceremony, at St Edward’s Church in Leek, Staffordshire, on 28 June 1969, was pretty much over their heads, Joe recalls. He remembers an apparent sense, from the adult guests, of “hoping this is going to work out”. The couple’s younger sisters were bridesmaids. Joe’s

football team friends came from County Durham. An hour before the wedding, best man Fred had to lend Joe his suit in exchange for a clumsy jacket. Joe wore his Middlesbrough FC top under his white shirt. The early days were inauspicious. They lived in a flat in Morecambe while Joe finished his teacher training course. Their son Tony was born in possibly the same hospital room as Eric Morecambe. It wasn’t an easy time and they were supported by their families and other students. Margaret suffered severe postnatal depression and they lived in a level of poverty. In later years, the experience drew them into volunteering at Scarborough’s Rainbow Centre. They helped set up its Pregnancy Crisis Centre, which no longer exists. Margaret had saved £100 with Leek and Westbourne Building Society, which became the deposit for the newly qualified teachers’ first house. It cost £1,100 and was in Butterknowle, County Durham, near the school where Joe got his first teaching post and a few miles from his

Bishop Auckland birthplace and Shildon, where he grew up. Buxton-born Margaret soon followed suit, landing a teaching post six miles away. In 1972, their daughter Angela was born in Bishop Auckland Hospital - in possibly the same hospital room as Joe. A few years later, Joe got a teaching job in Bridlington and the family moved to Skipsea, East Yorkshire. Later still, Joe and Margaret taught at the village school, where Tony and Angela were pupils. While at Skipsea, Margaret and Joe became Christians. It was a life-changing new start. In later years, a shared interest in the unity of churches led them into becoming active within Churches Together in Scarborough. By 1989, Tony and Angela had left home and gone to university. They have since provided their parents with four grandchildren: Louise and Dennis in Lille, France, and Isabel and Darcie in Wigan. Margaret and Joe moved to Scarborough to manage a Christian hotel and conference centre. “It was a new experience and hard work, though lovely to meet Christians across all

denominations”, Joe recalls. Roseleigh, on Valley Road, was run by a charity, Christian Alliance, which closed it in 1993. Throughout their time in Scarborough, they have been actively involved in the church St Mary’s with Holy Apostles. Margaret and Joe wanted to stay in Scarborough and bought a house in Scholes Park Road. Joe returned to teaching while Margaret took work caring for children after school, or all day. One was keen on trains, which led to the couple’s connection with North Bay Railway. Joe has written several children’s books based on the railway. “So, how has it lasted all these years, after such a difficult start?” Joe asks himself. “Despite our immaturity, we took our wedding promises seriously. Throughout the marriage there have been times of sickness and health, richer and poorer, better or worse. But through these times we have continued to love and cherish each other and our family. “It’s marvellous after such a rollercoaster ride that we can celebrate 50 years of marriage, with so many memories. I wish we could talk to those at the

wedding who wondered if it was going to work out all those years ago.

Entertainment and charity hero makes Queen’s birthday honours list

A well-known Scarborough resident has been awarded an MBE for his services to the entertainment industry and charity. Entrepreneur Nick Thomas, Chairman and founder of Qdos Entertainment Group, has been recognised for his five-decade-long career in live entertainment. He’s also been acknowledged for his work supporting charities, including

Great Ormond Street Hospital Children’s Charity and The Royal Variety Charity. Nick also owns the HQ Collection with his wife Sandra, the company behind local pubs The Mayfield, The Copper Horse and The Plough. Upon receiving the news, Nick said: “I have been lucky enough to spend my entire working life entertaining people, in one way or another, so I am honoured and humbled to receive the MBE for doing something that I love.” Nick’s career began in 1975 when he took his act ‘Tommer Puppets’ onto hit talent show New Faces at the age of 15. He went on to take this act all over, before going into

SCARBOROUGH sea cadets will play a central role in Armed Forces Day to mark the unit’s centenary. At noon on 29 June they will parade along the seafront, be presented with an embossed wooden plaque by retired vice-admiral Robert Cooling and take part in a double gunrun challenge. Since the naval unit was established in 1919, many of its cadets and staff have travelled offshore, abroad and on Royal Navy ships, met royalty, made friends for life and taken skills they learnt

about the cemetery history and the work of the Friends, go on guided walks, hear headstone stories and follow a treasure trail and other

It was also crowned the best unit in the UK. The unit’s commanding officer, Sub-lieutenant Natalie Davies, said: “Through our unit’s history, the common goal of giving our town’s young people the best opportunities through nautical adventure and fun has been the driving force and has been recognised

pantomime production and summer shows throughout Britain. Qdos Entertainment Group was then formed in 1999. Speaking about his work for charity, Nick said: “I am enormously proud of my teams around the country who have helped to raise in excess of £1.5m for Great Ormond Street over the past six years. These funds have helped towards the purchase of vital equipment and the development of new operating theatres, and we are fully focused on raising even more over the coming months and years ahead.”

at local and national level. Scarborough has always supported the sea cadets as much as possible and we appreciate it immensely. Without the support of the council and the public throughout our 100 years, the unit would not strive the way it does today. We would like to thank everyone who has ever contributed to Scarborough Sea Cadets in any way, large or small, over the last century and we look forward to another 100 years of making our town proud”.

New protection area for seabirds on coast Words and photos by Dave Barry SEABIRDS breeding on the coast around Filey and Flamborough now have extra protection following the designation of a new marine protected area. After many years of research, monitoring and discussion, the designation means protection for all species of seabird nesting around Filey and Flamborough. They include the puffin and the UK’s largest seabird, the gannet, which has a wingspan of up to two metres. The protected area includes two kilometres of inshore waters where seabirds engage in social behaviours during the breeding season and gather in small groups on the sea at this time of year. Adelle Rowe of Natural England said: “They are now protected when breeding on the unique cliff habitats, which provide ideal nesting and roosting sites, as well as at sea, where they undertake a wide range of activities, including preening, loafing and foraging”. Cllr Tony Randerson of Scarborough Council added: “The seabird colony along our coastline is a unique natural spectacle and I am delighted that its importance has now been recognised on an international level. This is the culmination of many years of hard work by a wide range of organisations and will help to protect these important species for the future”. The RSPB’s site manager at Bempton cliffs, Dave O’Hara, said: “It’s fantastic to see this recognition of the international importance of our breeding seabirds that make their home along the wonderful Filey and Flamborough coast. It is the

Who will champion the desperate? TWO recent Panorama programmes (29 May and 5 June) highlighted the crisis in social care. The shameful state of affairs in Somerset is replicated in North Yorkshire. Here too, dementia patients are being forced to sell their homes to try and meet their care costs. The 2017 general election proved that ordinary voters are not exclusively concerned about Brexit. Independent

government advisers resorted last week to an open letter to express despair at the failure of this administration and its predecessors to tackle the funding of social care. We hear promises of tax cuts from Tory leadership hopefuls: who will champion the needs of the desperate? Whether a potential PM has taken drugs in the past or is a technology wizard is a diverting irrelevancy. The

crisis in care has already blighted the last years and months of thousands of people. Without urgent, radical and courageous reform, as brave as the Labour government’s NHS Act of 1948, a similar fate awaits our loved ones. And ourselves. Tim Kirkup Chair Dementia Action Alliance Scarborough

The Alan Booth town-crier contest? Dear Editor, I was pleased to see the item on Alan Booth, the former Scarborough town crier, in the June edition of the Review. It was my pleasure to meet Alan last year when, in my capacity as secretary of the Hastings & St Leonards Society, I interviewed him for a publication I was working on, a booklet called A Bellow of Criers. It was being sold to raise prize money for the national town criers championship, held annually in Hastings for over 60 years and won three times by Alan (1988, 1989 and 1994). Although in his 87th year and in poor health at the time, Alan was very willing to chat with me about his days as town crier. He was particularly pleased that the society was working hard to support the championship in a

town he loved to visit. He had some fascinating and amusing stories to tell and I made good use of them in the publication. The booklet sold well (and is still available as the society has pledged continuing support for the NTCC) and a copy was given to each of the competitors in last year’s contest. Many remembered Alan’s exploits as a prominent town crier and they enjoyed reading his reminiscences. Having spoken to many longstanding town criers from round the country, I am well aware of how highly regarded Alan was as a town crier. He was made an MBE for his services to tourism and the community. Scarborough must be proud to have had such a man for their town crier for 31 years. So isn’t it time Scarborough honoured Alan with a town-crier contest

bearing his name? I think this would be a splendid and colourful addition to the summer entertainment at the Spa Sun Court. Any sponsors out there? A Bellow of Criers costs £4. Email hstlsoc@gmail.com. Steven Whitford Secretary Hastings & St Leonards Society, Hastings

When it comes to weatherproofing a house, Tim Booth from Coastal Nano knows a thing or two. He’s been in the weatherproofing industry for 30 years, and has lived in Scarborough with his wife and three children for 20. Coastal areas in particular can really benefit from Coastal Nano’s weatherproofing services: “I believe that coastal communities do get beaten a lot more by the weather than properties in central areas. And the products we do are good for both, but I think it is more needed on the coastal areas,” explains Tim.

Coastal Nano specialises in preventing, remedying and preventing damage from the elements. Using Weathertex, a hard wearing paint that covers the exterior of houses, stops damp and moisture in its track, as well as making improvements to a home’s heat retention. Tim is the only approved East Coast contractor for Weathertex which is a company based in Thirsk who have now been going for over 50 years creating high spec paints with more than just aesthetics in mind. The paint comes with a 15

year guarantee, so can be a great way to save money: “If you do external painting, you can go and spend maybe £500 at B&Q, every three to four years. Most of our products last a minimum of 15 years.” When asked about his guarantee, Tim explains that it comes through Weathertex: “A minimum of 15 years, absolutely, we would go back and re-do the work - but we’ve never been asked that yet. The Wetherby Group give their guarantee to me. They would replace the products free of charge. We are backed by a company that’s been going an incredible amount of years.” n If your home could benefit from Coastal Nano’s services, give Tim a call on 01723 448595 for a free damp report.

Passionate advocate clocks up 20 years AN ordinary coffee morning turned into a surprise presentation for Helen Beevers of Advocacy Alliance in Scarborough. Trustees, staff and volunteers presented her with presents, flowers and cards to mark the 20 years she has worked for the organisation. Helen said: “When I started, in 1999, all the talk was of the upcoming new century and what to expect when the millennium bug struck. The internet was in its infancy and emails were a new-fangled thing. Here we are 20 years on and, although technology has changed and developed, the challenges facing vulnerable people in our society haven’t. People still need paid and

volunteer advocates to help them have their voice heard, ensure their rights and challenge injustices. I am passionate about advocacy and am pleased that I have had such a wonderful organisation to work for, meeting many interesting people and changing lives for the better”. Trustees chair Mike Goode said Helen had made an “enormous” contribution to the local community. “In recent years there has been a move towards the provision of statutory advocacy, but at Advocacy Alliance everyone involved is passionate about community advocacy that is accessible to anyone at a time when they feel vulnerable. It is thanks to Helen and all the team that the

Hospice cancels fundraising event A fundraising event in aid of Saint Catherine’s in Scarborough has been cancelled. Stepney Scramble had been scheduled to take place on 14 July at Stepney Hill Farm.

Operation Owl goes national A police initiative to cut the number of illegal attacks on birds of prey is being rolled out to Scarborough, Filey and everywhere else in the country. Launched last year, Operation Owl is a joint initiative by North Yorkshire Police, the RSPB, the RSPCA and the North York Moors and Yorkshire Dales national parks. The initiative aims to raise awareness of raptor persecution, encouraging the public to be vigilant for signs of this criminal activity, while increasing police surveillance checks on known hot-spots to disrupt offender activity. North Yorkshire is home to a diverse population of birds of prey and sadly suffers the highest levels of raptor

persecution in the country. A new website will provide access to detailed information and resources to support the public in being vigilant for

signs of raptor persecution and reporting incidents. The address is www.operationowl. com.

SCARBOROUGH TALES

By Joe Coates

I recently read Anne Morley’s book, “Curiosities from Scarborough’s Children’s Charities”, and was really struck by the enormous number of men and women who have served our communities in some way over the years, making a big difference to peoples’ lives. These are unsung heroes, to most of us unknown. Here is a tale of one of them, William Ascough. By the way, the images which accompany this tale of poor children, are not from Scarborough, though showing the general poverty in Victorian times.

I THINK WE SHOULD GO TO SCARBOROUGH

LIFE was hard in Burnley. Born in 1849 William Ascough was the youngest of 9 children, living in a small back-to-back house close to a cotton mill. Four of his siblings worked at the mill before the age of 10. William grew up knowing the effects of poverty on families and children. Scholarships and study enabled him to have an education, and at age 21 he became headmaster at a school in Derbyshire. He had moved very quickly from son of a mill worker to head teacher and clerk of a School Board. He married a cousin, Ellen, in 1872, age 23. “Ellen dear. We have two children now. I’m in a good job, but I want to do more for the education of poor children. There’s a job I’d like to apply for. We’d need to move. I would become full time Clerk to the School Board. I think we should go to Scarborough!”

Meet author Joe Coates To mark the 10th anniversary of his North Bay Tales book series, children’s author Joe Coates is inviting fans to meet him. Joe will be at North Bay Railway in Scarborough, where the nine books are set, on 6 and 7 July. The titles, in order of publication are A Teddy Bears’ Picnic, A Birthday Surprise, A Santa Special to Remember, Donkey Alert, Percy the Cat, Jake and a Snake, The New Steam Engine, Tunnel Trouble and A New Driver’s Cap. Sir Alan Ayckbourn described them as “delightful books - I think they’re lovely and should enchant younger readers with their atmosphere and characters”.

William got the job, and the family moved to 13 West Grove Terrace, Falsgrave in 1879. What began was a lifelong dedication to the education of children, especially those from poor families. William had started at the bottom and, thanks to the benevolence he had received, he was now in a position of great influence. He would try to ensure all children got a similar opportunity. For the next 47 years, he worked for the Scarborough community, through the Education Committee, Scarborough United Scholarships Foundation Society and particularly the Amicable Society. This Society was set up in 1729 “for the purpose of clothing and educating the children of the poor of Scarborough,” The Amicable Society is “the town’s oldest children’s charity and probably the oldest in

the country” and those two Societies still continue today. “Ellen dear. There are so many children in Scarborough who do not go to school. They have to work, often at the harbour, to keep the poor family going. They haven’t a future. I must do something. We’ll have more prizes …. for good attendance, for punctuality, for moral character. They must want to come to school.” “It’s going well Ellen. I’ve been able to increase the number of scholarships for children from poor families, and orphans. Now I’m going to start broadening the curriculum. We’ll have lessons in cookery, dress making, singing, sea training. I’m excited. The children will be better prepared for their future work. And we’ve got free school uniforms!” “You wouldn’t believe it Ellen. I’ve managed to get a regular grant to provide outfits for the children when they leave school, and so many more are going into apprenticeships. More girls are getting jobs in service. It’s great. I’m so glad we came to Scarborough.” “Great news Ellen! We’re going to build a new secondary school near Valley Bridge. All the secondary schools are overcrowded. It’ll be the

Municipal School.” “More good news Ellen! Free boots for the children who can’t afford them! Some children are going to school barefooted! Not any more!” ”And let’s get on with the idea of free school meals! And provision of free spectacles for the very needy children. I can hardly believe the changes we’ve helped set up over all these years!” From his positions of respect, authority, influence, passion, and compassion, William Ascough had transformed the lives of children and families, particularly the poor. He had inspired committees and colleagues and overseen massive changes in Scarborough’s communities. “I’m retiring Ellen, though I’m going to be a Borough Councillor.” In his retirement, William Ascough became chair of the Education Committee, served as Mayor and became an Alderman. He now had a strong connection with Town Hall. “Well done Ellen! Sorry, well done Lady Mayoress! You’ve managed to arrange free milk to be delivered to infants in school daily” February 1926. The Amicable Society had arranged a meeting at the Town Hall, during which

there would be a speech and presentation ceremony conducted by their president, Alderman William Ascough. Many boys and their mothers were there. The boys were presented with a Bible. “I encourage you to read these Bibles, to always do your best, and to be honest, upright and true.” This speech was William’s last. It was his last meeting. He died on 12th July, 1926, aged 77. He had been an inspiration in Scarborough at such a high level for 47 years. He filled his calling, dedicating his life to the education of Scarborough’s children, particularly the poor. © joecoates2019 www.northbaytales.com My grandfather George Coates was an Alderman in County Durham and I know how hard he worked to make life better for “the working man and his family”. I feel I want to say “thank you” to the many thousands of people who, over the years, have worked to improve our communities. Thank you to those who do that today in Scarborough: our leaders, committees, paid workers, volunteers. Thank you.

Child’s Play WHETHER you’re a new parent about to head back to work, or you’re looking to change your little one’s nursery, now is the time to grab a place for your child’s day care. And with so many brilliant options across York, picking the right nursery for you and your baby can sometimes be a bit like finding a needle in a haystack. So, to try and help make things a little easier, we’ve put together a guide to help you decide. Hey, we’re poets and we didn’t know it.

1. Location

2. Dietary Requirements

3. Reviews

4. First Impressions

5. Policies

This might sound like an obvious one, but there are lots of things to consider when it comes to the location of your child’s nursery. How long will it take you to get there, and back? Will there likely be traffic? If there are likely to be other people dropping your child off or picking them up then how easy is it for them to get there?

Your little ones will need feeding while they’re having fun with their new friends. But do they have any dietary requirements? If you’re choosing to feed your son or daughter on a specific diet, or have preferences as to what they do and don’t eat, then this is something to consider.

If you’re in the market for a new computer or car, you’ll probably check the prospective models’ reviews before you buy. The same thing applies to choosing a nursery – and you’re spoilt for choice with a combination of parent reviews and Ofsted ratings.

Sometimes, first impressions really do count. You might ‘just know’ that you’ve found the perfect wedding dress. You could view a house that ticks all the boxes and nothing else compares. You’ll naturally only want the best for your child – so check out the nursery for yourself make sure it’s ‘the one’.

There are lots of little things to consider here: opening and closing times; how they deal with emergencies; how flexible they are; sickness policies, and the list goes on. Starting nursery is a nervewracking yet exciting time for both parent and child, and begins a new chapter in your lives – and here at Scarborough Review we wish you all the best!

These are a few of my favourite columns Local artist Dav White talks about the fascinating world of history, art and mythology MANY Scarborough buildings from the 19th century have ornamental columns at the entrance. They are a throwback to the days of the Grand Tour; a preoccupation of the aristocracy that shaped ideas of culture and sophistication in Victorian times. Part of the classical revival, these classical architectural motifs were used to symbolise civic virtue and local nationalism. The Grand Tour was an educational trip around Europe primarily associated with the British nobility and the landed gentry of the 17th century. Their exposure to classical antiquity and the Renaissance influenced British polite society. It became fashionable to have a temple of Apollo or a Parthenon in the grounds of your country estate. It later became the norm in the education of architects and artists to study the architecture in the classical places of Europe. Soon, less grand doorways and shallow porches were given classical ornamentation and graceful stone mouldings, and classical columns started to pop up like a jack-in-the-box all over the place in the neo-classical and Greek revival of architecture. The three common types of column are distinguished by their capitals: the piece of stonework at the top of the column. They can be described simply as flat, scrolled and fancy. The designs are not architectural whimsy. They belong to Greek traditions spanning many thousands of years. They have played a crucial role in distinguishing schools of thought and the search for the perfect ratio and proportion in art and architecture. The stone columns on entrances and porches evoke the Biblical legend of the

The two columns stood at the entrance porch to the Temple of Solomon in ancient Jerusalem. They were the objects on which the secret knowledge for

ScarboroughStrata BY ROGER OSBORNE

SOME things in our landscape still take your breath away no matter how many times you see them. The views of Scarborough from Oliver’s Mount, seeing the sweep of Robin Hood’s bay from Ravenscar, the series of dramatic cliffs and coves along the Cleveland Way. This month I ventured further inland to catch another stunning spectacle – the view west from the top of Sutton Bank. On a summer’s evening, with the

light streaming across the lowlying country below, you have a sense of being suspended above the earth. The inland cliff stretches away to the north and south, with massive crags – slabs of Jurassic rock – pushing out above the trees. Catching glimpses of the cars crawling along the roads 33 feet down reminds you of our insignificance in the scale of the natural world. But why is Sutton bank there?

rebuilding a civilisation were inscribed. After the secret knowledge was carved onto the biblical columns, according to medieval scripture, one column was found by the Greek philosopher Pythagoras and the other by alchemist Hermes Trismegistus, after the destruction of the first temple of Solomon by Nebuchadnezzar in 587BC. The Temple of Solomon was reputedly based on the golden ratio, a simple mathematical ratio found in nature which later influenced our civilisation through art, music and architecture. It became the sign or logos for classical harmony and civic virtue placed as proportion and ornamentation of the buildings of the 19th century. ‘Logos’ means ‘word / reasoning’. The three types of column are Doric, Ionic and Corinthian, symbolising wisdom, strength and beauty. The Doric column has a simple flat squat capital. A good example can be found on the ground floor of Scarborough Library and on many of the Victorian stone shelters in the north and south bays. The Ionic column has distinctive spiral scrolls or volute which may have originated from natural forms of the nautilus shell. Excellent examples can be found on the library and at the entrance to the former post office in Aberdeen Walk. The last column is the Corinthian. Its capital has an elaborate floral design. The leaves are those of the acanthus plant, common in the Mediterranean and thought to represent immortality. Excellent examples can be found on Westborough Methodist Church and the Crown Spa Hotel. Each order of architecture was linked to music. The Ionians

and Doricians were heavily influenced by Egyptian culture and specifically Egyptian culture of sacred music. The Greek Ionian philosopher Plato in his book Laws said the ideal city would be created by music. He stated that each citizen must practise the correct songs and dances based on Egyptian laws of harmonies and these songs were to be repeated to maintain the enchantment that will maintain the perfect city. He felt that songs were charms which linked the divine proportions of ratio in architecture with that of harmony in music. When documenting English rural songs, the 19th century English folk-song collector Cecil Sharp wrote: “Two thirds of our English folk songs are in the major Ionian mode. The remaining third are divided between Aeolian, Mixolydian and Dorian modes”. The writer John Michel explains: “These old folk songs were clearly originally the work of classically educated composers, probably monastic. Cistercian monks from the 12th century retired to the loneliest, most barren districts of Europe, living in the utmost simplicity, spending every possible moment in prayer and chanting. Their angelic harmonies produced a corresponding order in the countryside around them”. Around Scarborough, my favourite columns are in St Nicholas Cliff, Westborough, Westborough, Falsgrave and at Fairchilds’ old cheese shop on Victoria road. Others are at Red Court on the Esplanade and in the streets off the Esplanade, such as Albion Road. See how many you can spot on the buildings, porches and entrances around town. Maybe sing a note as you pass and see if it resonates and hums back. DavWhiteArt.com

After all, it’s not often you come across a vertical cliff this far away from the sea. The answer lies in its geological history and in particular in the effects of the last ice age on the Jurassic strata. Around 115,000 years ago the earth got dramatically colder. Ice sheets half a mile thick spread across the North Sea, pushing onto the cliff tops of the coast and nosing their way into low-lying areas further inland. Some pushed into the Tees floodplain and then curved south, down through the Vale of Mowbray.

It’s hard to visualize the massive impact this ice had on the landscape at the time, but its after-effects are all around us. As these deep ice sheets crept southwards they scooped up huge amounts of sediment and boulders and dragged them across the landscape. They acted like a kind of gigantic sandpaper smoothing off hills and valleys and altering landscapes as they went. Before the ice age the rocks of Sutton Bank probably sloped gently to the west, meeting the lower lying vale, which had

A Local Business with National Coverage

Advertorial

Peace of Mind Financial Solutions Limited (POMFS) opened for business in August 2007 and started trading from a small office in Alma Square. From those small beginnings the business has today developed into a client focused business which operates from their Falsgrave Road office. Managing director Nigel Wood says “our team of 17 highly trained advisers cover the whole of the UK, and will deal with clients anywhere” Locally we have a team of 4 advisers. These local advisers are: GEOFF HILL Started as a Financial Adviser in 1987 and has specialised in mortgage and protection since 2006. He has extensive knowledge in all areas of mortgage and protection and is always on hand to help and support clients through the whole procedure. Clients return to Geoff for their remortgage and are always happy to refer him to their friends and family, building up a large client base. KAYLEIGH STEPHENSON Began working as a mortgage adviser in 2014, working within the private sector and joined POMFS in October 2017, taking over from David Fletcher a long-standing mortgage adviser with POMFS. Kayleigh works along side 4 Walls Estate Agency in Scarborough and Bridlington and Lisa Crowe Estate Agent in Malton; she is always happy to look at any circumstances and

situations, always going the extra mile for her clients. JAMES TOAL James began working in financial services in 2015, and has been a fully qualified mortgage and protection adviser since September 2017 and has recently become a qualified Equity Release adviser. He is knowledgeable in all aspects of the Help to Buy scheme and is always happy to discuss different options with clients, supporting his clients through the whole process from start to finish. James works alongside CPH Property Services and Ellis Hay Estate Agents in Scarborough and also DMA Estate Agents in Filey. James joined POMFS in June 2018. ANITA NEWBOULD Began her financial services career as a bank cashier in 1998, working her way up to train as a financial adviser and qualified in 2001, she qualified as a Mortgage Adviser in 2002. In 2005 Anita began her role as a bank customer adviser. Anita began working as a mortgage adviser with POMFS in September 2018 and she holds CeFA and Level 4 Diploma in Financial Advice and loves helping people through the process of one of the biggest financial purchases they will ever make. They are supported by an experienced office based team who are invaluable in the day to day running and development of POMFS. A BUSINESS BASED UPON TRUST AND ETHICS

Peace of Mind Financial Solutions Ltd does what it says on the box. One of its cornerstone principles is that ‘The Client is King’. It works alongside Estate Agents in order for them to maximise the turnover in sales by minimising any potential financial impediments and reducing risks so as to provide a seamless ‘one stop shop’ so far as the financial aspects of property transactions is concerned. The Company’s advisors are highly trained and experienced and one of the company’s ongoing aspirations is to build a lifelong relationship with its Clients.” We don’t see our job as a ‘quick fix’ to a transient situation, moreover we are available at any time of day and night to provide independent advice and to support our Clients over the longer haul” says Nigel. This year Peace of Mind Financial Solutions Ltd is predicting they will handle nearly 1500 mortgage transactions, a far cry from the modest embryonic business which germinated 12 years ago. The Company has always placed customer satisfaction high on its list of objectives and sees business today as not only a quantitative process but also, importantly, a qualitatively driven one where the way in which analysis and advice is provided is valued and so important. “We pride ourselves on our professionalism and honesty” says Nigel. This

has been recognised by our customer feedback and within the industry where the Company have achieved several national awards from its compliance and business support network. THE DIRECTION OF TRAVEL So, what now for Peace of Mind Financial Solutions Ltd? “Our strength is our staff” says Nigel, “something of a cliché I know but vital if we are to retain and expand our customer base. We will continue to develop our core business of Mortgage advice but we now offer a broader portfolio of financial service advice which has expanded to meet Clients’ needs. The whole spectrum of Lifelong financial planning is so important, especially in volatile times, and our service now goes beyond the buying and selling of property. We want our Clients to have ‘The Peace of Mind’ that good financial advice can give. Clients transactions, especially on the buying and selling of property, can be stressful and the protection of those assets against the vagaries of a modern world needs to be robust.” The Company reflects Nigel’s dynamism and with a full financial service offering it is in a good position to meet the everchanging world of financial services and to look after, in a holistic way, all its clients’ financial needs. It continues to invest in its staff, business and the local community and believes

that its key values have helped to project it towards a strong and expanding Client base, many of whom have been referred through personal recommendations and testimonials.

Curious Roots

Covering Scarborough, Filey & Hunmanby

Muck & Magic BY HEATHER ELVIDGE

AT this point in the year the sun is strong, though it doesn’t feel so hot when clouds are hiding its face. And with a weather pattern similar to 2007, we can expect a changeable July and August. As Charles II is supposed to have said, “The English summer is three fine days and a thunderstorm”. Folklore offers a bouquet of weather signs, including: “dew falling by night, the next day will be bright”, and “summer mist at dawn, the day will be warm.” Also less cheerfully, “rain from the east, lasts three days at least.” When midges bounce in the evening the following day will be fine, but if they bite then rain is on the way. No honeybees visiting the flowers today? This suggests a downpour, as they won’t leave the hive if it’s going to be wet. Bumblebees aren’t so fussy — they can feed during a shower, thanks to their waterproofed fluff. Hopefully there will be sunny spells this month, and these should encourage more butterflies. In July, commas and small tortoiseshells emerge to sip from lavender, buddleia and catmint; and a warm wind from the continent may carry red admirals and painted ladies. Twilight will bring other diners to our gardens, for this is the month to see colourful moths. Apart from the calls of hungry young birds, woods and gardens are quieter now as the adults shed their feathers. Long flight feathers are lost in ones or twos so birds can still fly, but moulting seems to make them feel out of sorts. Pay attention if you happen to hear a blackbird — those will be his last notes for the rest of the year. Summer evenings are quieter than they used to be. The twittering of soaring swallows, and the wild screaming of swifts, are missing from our summer sky. The last few years have been disappointing for these birds, and this year is no exception. Storms and an unseasonably cold spring greeted them on migration, causing many casualties. And for the few that arrived, our weather wasn’t exactly welcoming. Swallows and martins fared better, because they can swoop almost to the ground to gather flies, but swifts feed high up, scooping flying insects that rise

on currents of warm air. One species at least is happy when it rains. Snails hide during dry periods, sealed up in their shells; now they are everywhere, gliding along on their slimy trails. The snail, dodman, or hodmadod unfolds his tentacles with care — the two longest have eyes at the end, while the other two are for feeling and smelling. Moving by rippling his stomach muscles, he can easily climb house walls to reach the plants in your window box. And don’t think you can get rid of him by throwing him into next-door’s garden. Snails are territorial, and he’ll simply come back. In the 19th century snails featured in folklore cures, especially for warts. And if you thought it was only the French who ate them, think again. Suffering from a cough? Try a bowl of snails boiled in barleywater. Our forebears thought that most effective. Song thrushes would agree — they smash the shell against a stone, before gulping down the contents. From the miniature to the massive: the RSPB is celebrating 50 years of the Bempton Cliffs reserve, where thousands of nesting seabirds are crammed onto towering cliffs. Go soon if you want to catch the popular puffins;

around mid-month the chicks leave their burrows to join the adults at sea. Perhaps we expected too much of Flaming June. After all, it is one of the wettest months. It even has a day that forecasts summer rain: “If St Vitus Day be rainy weather, it’ll rain for thirty days together.” You won’t be surprised to hear that after some sunshine, the clouds opened on the evening of June 15. The sunshine and showers will continue until July 15, St Swithin’s feast. It’s hard not to feel sorry for Swithin, Bishop of Winchester. He was an influential figure in ninth-century Wessex, at a time when that kingdom was involved in the formation of England. But we wouldn’t remember him if it weren’t for this: “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.” If only he hadn’t asked to be buried outside the minster instead of inside, which was usual for a bishop. And if only the authorities hadn’t decided to move his body indoors, provoking a forty-daylong downpour, we might be recalling the saint’s humilty, diplomatic skills, or even his many miracles. As it is, Swithin’s legacy is to predict the summer.

ALL of us who love gardening and thrive on being outdoors amongst plants will be aware of the long running debate about the use of peat. Should we, or shouldn’t we, be using peat in our composts or on the garden as a soil conditioner? Are there any suitable alternatives and how do we know which are the best composts for our precious plants? Research has been taking place for many years to try and find a suitable alternative to peat based composts and it’s possible that government controls will bring the issue into the public domain in the near future. The problem for us as gardeners is that most plants like peat, especially ericaceous plants such as rhododendrons, azaleas and heathers. So, what alternatives are available to us? There are many brands of peat reduced compost on the market now and this is a start. These products will be mixed with other ingredients such as coir (coconut husk) or shredded bark or possibly green waste products. And, of course, there are several brands of peat free compost on the market which are worth trying. However, results may be varied unless you can follow two golden rules.

The compost trial we are conducting in the Muck and Magic garden

Generally peat free composts are more difficult to keep well watered because the water holding qualities of peat are missing. So, if you are trying peat free for the first time you may have to alter your watering regime to take this into account. Perhaps even more vital is to take into consideration that the nutrient content in peat free compost will reduce very quickly compared to peat based so feeding you plants is most important from a very early stage. Follow these two rules and your success rate may soar. In the muck and magic garden we use several different bespoke mixes of compost each designed to suit the group of plants we are working with. We are also conducting some experiments by putting the some rooted cuttings in different types of compost to see how they respond. It’s early days yet but there are some clear differences already. Perhaps

what it does indicate is that gardeners shouldn’t be afraid to “mess about” with compost, mixing up what they think suits their plants individual needs. Try not to store too much compost as the nutrient value will decrease steadily over time and will possibly be very low by the time you come to use it. Better to buy little and often. And if the bags of compost at your local store feel heavy and wet, leave them where they are. Opt for drier bags which, hopefully, won’t have had the nutrients leached out of them. Finally, remember that if you are using a compost that has recycled green waste incorporated, there may be a small chance that there will be a residue of herbicides which have not been broken down by the composting process. Muck and Magic garden Club will be meeting on Saturday 6th of July for a trip to Breezy Knees Garden near York and as there is no meeting in August our next Monday night meeting will be held on September 9th when Stella Exley from Hare Spring Cottage Nursery will be talking about her work growing plants for garden designer Chris Beardshaw. Happy Gardening!

Outside hours Children between the age of 8-18 spend an average of more than seven hours a day looking at screens. It has been recommended by health experts that parents should be looking at limiting screen time for children to a maximum of just two hours per day. I recently read about a mother of five called Ginny, who on hearing the statistics of how long children spent in front of screens, decided to change that for her family. She worked towards a goal of four to six outside hours per day, having read that it was an ideal time for children to spend outdoors.

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

She first found this to be excessive, but after giving it a go, she says the family haven't looked back. Ginny and her family launched the 1000 Hours Outside campaign encouraging others to spend around 20 hours a week outdoors.

( w w w. 1 0 0 0 h o u r s o u t s i d e . com). Whilst she is based in America, this is one of those ideas that is universal. With the summer holidays upon us, here are some ideas of activities that can be done outdoors locally to Scarborough. I am sure you can think of lots more. Let's turn our screens off, get sociable and increase our health and wellbeing. The beach is definitely my first go-to living here in Scarborough. We have the great choice of North Bay, South Bay and other beaches along the coastline. Feel the sand beneath your feet, wiggle your toes in the sand and ground yourself to nature. Take some items with you to the beach to make sandcastles and boats like you did when you were a child.

Brave a paddle, despite the chill of the North Sea. Find a couple of pebbles and create a hopscotch on the path and encourage everyone to join in. Utilise some elastic to play french skipping or get skipping ropes to traditionally skip, good practice for Scarborough’s Shrove Tuesday tradition. Enjoy a picnic on the beach or in a local park. Invite each member of the family to choose their favourite outdoor activity and take it in turns to plan the day’s outside hours. Once you begin to get creative more and more ideas will come to you and the whole family will look forward to venturing outside to fulfil more outside hours. Encourage your family, whatever age to venture outdoors and gain the benefits of outside hours.

Town’s rich maritime Children to make past comes to life in rockets in Ayton new show NASA meets Ayton on 22 July when Derwent Valley Bridge Community Library stages a rocket-making session in the village. It has been inspired by the Reading Agency’s summer challenge, due to start at the beginning of the school holidays. The theme is space. The session is one of several activities for children aged 5–11, from 2-4pm. The cost is £2.50 per child. Under-8s should be accompanied by an adult. Refreshments will be served. The rocket-making session follows a space-chase walk which took off from a rocket in the library garden and continued up to the Milky Way down Beech Lane. Visitors passed the sun and planets, aliens in trees and through a Stargate to Area 3 and a Nasa rocket.

A new action-adventure musical will be performed at the Market Hall in July. Scarborough’s rich maritime past comes to life in The Curse of the Smuggler’s Run by Beach Hut Theatre. Written by John Pattison and Alison Watt, it’s set in 1822, when smuggling was an everyday occurrence. Events take a dangerous turn for the people of the old town when firebrand revenue man George ‘Flogger’ Ballard arrives to end contraband trade. With the threat of the noose or transportation never far away, local merchant and smuggler James Law finds himself the target of Ballard’s interference, while young Hetty Pashby is drawn into a world of adventure, treachery and whispers of buried gold. The show blends historical fact and imaginative storytelling through music, song and adventure, celebrating the story of those who smuggled and those who tried to stop them. With laughs along the way, this fast-action tale is set in various locations around Scarborough, sharing local legends from the town’s colourful past.

The play is set in the old town

“And the beauty of performing in the fantastic Market Hall means the audience is at the heart of where the events took place nearly 200 years ago – separated by time, but not location”, Alison says. The show can be seen from 1017 July except the 14th, at 7pm.

been developed through the company’s fortnightly Script Hut writing workshops led by Alison Watt, the company’s artistic director. Inspired by Armed Forces Day and, in particular, events and characters from the Second World War, each play will be performed as a script-in-hand reading. Alison said: “The writers were asked to create original plays with a storyline and structure that would fit into a five-minute timeframe. They have written poignant, thought provoking and entertaining pieces that complement the themes of Armed Forces Day and capture that 40s mood very effectively”.

“The weather was lovely for the 21 families that took part, including 44 children”, said library volunteer Margaret Barker. Andrew Hurley, winner of the Costa first-novel award, gave a talk about his second novel, Devil’s Day, at the library. It was part of a Read Regional initiative to discover northern writers and promote their work.

Maureen Anderson, centre, with her patchwork quilt and group members (to order photos ring 353597)

A Scarborough woman has spent two years making a quilt for her bed. Maureen Anderson is a founder member of In Stitches, a women’s sewing and craft club at the Salvation Army Citadel. Her time-consuming project involved stitching the individual pieces by hand. Maureen only resorted to a sewing machine to join them all up. The club has four machines. Two were paid for out of county councillor Janet Jefferson’s locality budget. A cheque from the Mayoress’s Community Fund paid for another and the club bought the fourth out of its funds. Conceived as a hand-sewing group for repairing and altering clothes, In Stitches was launched by dressmaker Shirley Foulds in the Market

Hall Vaults five years ago. When the catacombs unit was outgrown, the club transferred to a spacious room at the Citadel in Alma Parade, meeting on Monday afternoons from 2-4pm. It’s as much a women’s social group as anything else, with about 20 members who pay £2 a week. The youngest are in their early 40s and the oldest in their late 80s. “We all do individual projects”, says Bonnie Purchon, who helps Shirley run the club. On any given day, members may be quilting, doing canvas work, altering trousers, embroidering a tablecloth, making a tapestry picture or knitting a hat for shoeboxes. A lot of material, especially wool, is donated and donations are always welcome. They can be dropped off between 10am

Lucy Bradbrook knitting a woolly hat with help from Shirley Foulds

and 2pm Monday to Friday and from 10am until noon on Saturdays. The Citadel cafe is always open. n Heirloom Quilters’ 14th biannual show, at the Spa from 5-7 July, will feature a large display of new quilts and other articles made by members. Admission costs £3.50.

Classic motorbikes on show in Ayton THE Yorkshire Coast British Motor Cycle Club is celebrating its 40th anniversary with a best-bike day at the Forge Valley pub in West Ayton on the afternoon of 6 July.

Choir raises the roof and £1,000 for charities

A CONCERT had the double benefit of entertaining hundreds of music-lovers while raising £1,000 for two worthy local charities. Scarborough Community Choir let their vocal chords rip for a full house at Westborough Methodist Church in March. The choir performed various songs and the musical Oh Nell with the Sandside Players, directed by musical director Bill Scott. It was accompanist Frank James’s final performance before his well-earned retirement. At a rehearsal, cheques for £500 were presented to Steps 2 from Gallows Close Centre and Dial a Ride on Londesborough Road. Julie Banks of Dial a Ride said: “On average, each of our minibuses covers around 12,000 miles a year and we need to replace a vehicle after approximately nine years’ service. This means we have to raise funds to

replace one vehicle every year or so at a cost of between £35,000 and £40,000”. The Steps 2 cheque was accepted by Kimmie Avison. The group is for people with learning disabilities who want to have fun and learn life skills such as crafts, exercise, dancing, singing, etc. They have trips out to the theatre, places of interest such as Sewerby Hall and the Lord Mayor’s show in Leeds at Christmas. They meet weekly and have lunch provided. Steps 2 relies on members and donations to keep going. The choir raises money for the local community and for those who do not receive government funding. Next year’s recipient will be the Yorkshire Coast Sight Support resource centre for people with sight impairments in Dean Road.

Words and photos by Dave Barry ONE of the highlights of a weekend in Sheffield last year was visiting Tabby Teas cat café. Having overcome a cat allergy enough to have lived with our Tilly for 15 years, I’ve become a cat lover and loved the concept. We had to pay about a fiver to enter, via a double-door system designed to prevent feline escapees. Cats were everywhere: being stroked and admired, wandering along wooden ceiling-height pathways and generally doing what cats do best,

lying around indolently, waiting for their human servants to attend to their every need. We shared the same thought: Scarborough could do with something like this. And now it has it. Steampuss Cat Café, in Bar Street, was opened mid-June by two confirmed cat-lovers. Matthew Davenport and Chloe Cotton moved to East Ayton from the Midlands after spotting the gap in the market. “We love cats”, says Matthew, wearing a T-shirt bearing an image

of one of their cats, Alfie. “Chloe has had cats all her life and we have always wanted to work with animals”. He and Chloe have 11 cats, one of whom stays at home all the time. The other 10 travel into town with them every day, in baskets. “We have had a good reaction so far”, Matthew says. “People who come here are big cat lovers”. Steampuss can accommodate 20 humans and plenty of cats on two floors. The premises were previously occupied by a hairdresser on the ground floor and a clothes shop downstairs. The menu contains hot and cold drinks including milkshakes, numerous cakes, muffins and scones - and a few cat puns. Coffees include es-purr-so, a-meow-icano, catte and cat-paw-ccino. Customers are invited to be the cat who got the cream. Not surprisingly, Steampuss has a few rules, especially where children are concerned. All can be found on the café’s Facebook page, search for Steampuss.

Ryedale Festival returns to Scarborough RYEDALE Festival returns to Scarborough with two concerts in July. The Orchestra of Opera North will return to the Spa Grand Hall, the festival’s easternmost venue, on 20 July, at 7.30pm. It will perform The Young Person’s Guide to the Orchestra by Britten, Elgar’s cello concerto and Mussorgsky’s Pictures at an Exhibition.

In 1946, Britten used a little piece for hornpipe by Purcell to take young listeners on an epic tour of the orchestra, introducing countless children to classical music. Another great technicolour orchestral showpiece by Mussorgsky evokes the vivid emotional response he had to a series of sketches, watercolours and architectural

designs he saw one day at an exhibition. The soloist for the Elgar will be Franco-Belgian cellist Camille Thomas, making her UK debut with one of the greatest English concertos, full of passion and poetry. Her “beautifully shaped phrases flow from her bow as naturally as singing - her impressive virtuosity appears effortless”, according to a

review in the Strad. Orchestra director Phil Boughton comments: “2017 marked the orchestra’s first visit to the Spa in six years. We’re delighted to be returning”. The musicians will be under the baton of conductor Alpesh Chauhan, who has risen from Birmingham apprentice to international maestro in a dazzlingly short time”, as BBC Music magazine put it. The festival’s other Scarborough concert will be at St Martin’s Church on 25 July, at 11am. A Purcell Pageant will be performed by Solomon’s Knot, who will delve into the shimmering fantasy world of A Midsummer Night’s Dream as depicted in Purcell’s Fairy Queen, bestudded with jewels

from his odes, welcome songs and masques. Described in the Observer as “organic music-making at its most sophisticated”, Solomon’s Knot is one of the most exciting baroque collectives. Performing without a conductor and often from memory, they describe themselves as “a group of singers and players who are prepared to take risks to communicate more directly with their audience”. Ryedale Festival has been promoting concerts in Scarborough for the past six years, working alongside the local community and performing groups. Described in the Times as “Yorkshire’s boldest music festival”, it is offering 500 tickets at £1 each for under-30s.

Mirage I breathe in, And I look back, It’s like a pool of water, Staring deeply at me, A mirage of what we were, Or more so, What we could have been, I don’t miss you, Not anymore, I don’t think so, Not really, It’s almost like I was dreaming, Or daydreaming, It’s all so blank, That I don’t want to remember, The pain of it all, Although, I’ll still thank you for it all, Thank you.

Dementia choir raises £2,055 for Alzhweimer’s AN album by a Scarborough

Gail Hartley with the Musical Memories CD

choir for people with dementia has raised £2,055 for the Alzheimer’s Society. Singing for the Brain, formed in 2012, recorded 20 tracks for the Musical Memories CD, released nearly a year ago. The songs are sung at the choir’s sessions at South Cliff Methodist Church hall on Wednesdays, from 1.30-3pm. More than 375 copies of the CD have been sold, says Gail Hartley, who leads the 50-strong group and who had the idea for the disc. She says: “I felt I needed to share the joy of their singing and wanted others to hear what the group has achieved. I wanted their friends and family as well as the public to share

this wonderful experience”. Over the past year, the group has been featured in the local media and the society’s national magazine. Members have performed at the YMCA Theatre. Three of their songs can be found on YouTube. The services manager at the society’s Scarborough branch, Louise Morgan, said: “Gail, Adele Longstaff, Denise Kemp, Janet Wharrier, Joan Roue, Anne Richardson, Tim Kirkup, Molly Brown, Pauline Petch and Nancy Taylor are the heart and soul of this fabulous group. Without their support, a lot of people affected by dementia would miss out on the highlight of their week”. Choir members are proud of

the CD and love attending the weekly group. One carer said: “I haven’t heard my mum speak properly for a couple of months, but she sings every word at the group, leaving me stunned”.

A new song with music by Karen Chalmers and lyrics by choir members will be performed at a concert at the church in September. The date has still to be confirmed.

The photo shows the choir presenting a cheque to the Alzheimer’s Society. In the centre are Gail Hartley, Louise Morgan and Ruth Armstrong. n The CD costs £5 and can be bought by ringing the Alzheimer's office on 583998 or Gail on 863434.

WAN exhibition about some of Scarborough’s most important hotels can be seen at the Maritime Heritage Centre. It looks at the history of the Crown Spa, the Royal, the Grand, the Palm Court and two which are long gone, the Holbeck and Balmoral. The latter started as a coaching inn called the Bull just outside the town walls. Its sign was suspended on a long beam

across the street. The Bull had stables and a brewery at the rear. By 1884 it had 60 rooms. A restaurant was added in 1883. Staff known as nightboots cleaned guests’ shoes overnight and left them in parallel rows. Bell-pushes linked rooms to staff. The Bull eventually became the Balmoral Hotel. In the 1970s it attracted visitors from the Midlands and was home to the Yorkshire cricket

team during the town’s annual festival, not long before it was demolished. Scarborough Corporation and Scarborough Council, the custodians of the town’s architectural heritage, saw fit to allow many of the borough’s most magnificent buildings to be demolished in the 60s, 70s and 80s. A small exhibition in the centre window celebrates

the 50th anniversary of the moon landing. “Many of the technologies and technical terminology used came from the age of sail”, says volunteer Mark Vesey. “And of course, we must not forget that the moon controls our tides”. The centre, run by volunteers and public donations, is open Wednesday to Sunday, 11am to 4pm. Entrance is free.

CAYTON is all set for its annual gala, on the village playing fields in Station Road on 14 July, from 11am-4pm.

A dog show at 2pm will have categories for the dog with the waggiest tail, the dog most like its owner and the dog the judge would most like to take home. One of the organisers, Rhona Liley, says: “It will be a fun day for all, with exhibitions, craft stalls for all ages, a chillax area, a tombola, bubble

football, games, an obstacle course, sports, competitions, a bar, catering facilities and lots of new activities for all the family to enjoy”. A raffle will be drawn at 3pm. No charge is made for admission. A prince and princess competition will be held at 5pm on 27 June at the Star Inn. Children of all ages are invited to enter. The winners will be paraded around the gala in an open-top car. On 12 July, from 5pm, a competition will be held at the foot-golf course next to the Stained Glass Centre in Killerby Lane, Cayton.

Jenny Hill and Simon Nisbett

On 8 August, Merry Melancholy - lutenist Simon Nisbett and singer Jenny Hill - return to Woodend for a lunchtime recital in the Sitwell library. The programme of lute songs and solos draws mainly on the works of Robert Johnson (1583-1633), a contemporary of Shakespeare and lutenist to James I and Charles I. The programme includes settings of poems by

Shakespeare and Ben Johnson and lute solos by John Dowland and William Byrd. Last year, the duo performed a play about the Earl of Essex twice at Woodend, as part of a tour of North Yorkshire which ended with a performance in Leeds. Tickets cost £6 and can be booked at the venue or by ringing 384500. Website: merrymelancholy. co.uk.

They have included sessions drawing and painting outdoors in the Crescent gardens and working on ipads, inspired by David Hockney’s ipad paintings of the Yorkshire Wolds. The resulting artworks are full of life and colour. The students will host an event in the Sitwell library at Woodend on 17 July, from 2-4pm. They will talk about their work in the exhibition and how making art has supported or improved their mental health. One says: “Learning about art has changed how I see the world. I notice things more and

AN Americana fivepiece which delighted a capacity crowd at Woodend in Scarborough last year is back for more. Lachlan Bryan and the Wildes, from Australia, said they felt at home even though they were thousands of miles away from home. With 80 people, Woodend’s gallery was full to overflowing and people had to be turned away.

Lachlan commented: “It’s great to be playing in a room with a window wall overlooking a beautiful park”. They will be joined by fellow Aussie Imogen Clark, who has also been picking up rave notices and is tipped for stardom by many critics, according to the promoter, Filey Americana buff Chris Lee. Tickets cost £12.

Victorian theme for Scalby Fair

MIXED and unpredictable weather failed to dampen enthusiasm during Scalby Fair week. Every event was well attended except the run on the first day, when rain had muddied the route. Hundreds of people thronged the village centre on fair day, which was the highlight of the week. High Street was lined with stalls.

Victorian fancy dress was worn by many of the participants at the fair, which fell a few weeks after the 200th anniversary of Queen Victoria’s birth. They included Alison José and Richard Woodrooffe who posed as Victoria and Albert. The 23 arrangements at a flower festival in St Laurence’s Church represented Victorian times, from

literature to inventors and infamous Victorians such as Jack the Ripper. Up-and-coming art critic Cleo Walls, 4, found Florence Showers’ Queen Victoria arrangement scary “because of the creepy face” behind a black veil. The Mothers Union group at St Laurence’s served cream teas at the adjacent church rooms. Fresh from its success at the British

Arts awards, Kevin O’Connor’s school of Irish dancing, which recently moved into new premises in Gladstone Lane, gave lively performances. The programme of daily activities also included a family treasure hunt, songs of praise at St Laurence’s and, at the Nags Head pub, a beer and cider festival and a gig by Soul Rida.

Around the region STAXTONBURY, licensed for 5,000 people, returns to a big field near Staxton on the A64 from 4-6 July, a day longer than before. Sharing the bill are Boomin, Huge, Soul Rida, Friday Street, the Cloughton Rat Pack, the Shamrockers, Blue Alibi and several 1960s and 70s covers bands: the Essential Pet Shop Boys and one specialising in Fleetwood Mac. Magic Mike, Ryan Swain and his cheeky friend Frank Lamingo and the Moo Music Crew will perform on the kids stage. A FREE party celebrating Scarborough Jazz Club’s 35th anniversary will be held in the Spa Suncourt and Promenade Lounge on 21 July, from 4-10.30pm. Sharing the bill are Dennis Rollins, the New York Brass Band, the Mike Gordon Trio with Kate Peters and Ian Chalk, Social Oven, AC3, Vibeology and DJ Mark Thompson’s Jazz Jukebox.

Burning Spa painting sold for £1,200 A PAINTING of one of Scarborough’s most dramatic historical events has been sold for £1,200. Painted by Belgian artist Alphonse Neumans (185393), it depicts the fire which devastated the Spa on 8 September 1876. The framed oil on canvas is of interest to historians and locals alike. It is one of many items owned by the late Denis Chapman, an auctioneer and estate agent in Scarborough. It has been described as “the most amazing piece of 19th-century journalism” by auctioneer David Elstob, whose firm sold it in Bedale on Sunday. “There is a note on the back that indicates it was painted at the scene and so constitutes an important

eye-witness account of the event that must have shaken the Victorian town to its core”, Mr Elstob says. The Spa was built in 1858. After it burnt down, it was quickly rebuilt and still stands today. The Spa fire is one of several paintings of the town from Mr Chapman’s estate, auctioned at the same time. Another is by Paul Marny (1829-1914). Other notable pieces of period furniture, clocks and silver made up the Chapman collection. They included a George II coffeepot by London silversmith Peter Archambo, a George III mahogany longcase clock and an early 18th century mahogany breakfront bookcase.

SPORTS Scarborough Athletic commentator, Ant Taylor, chats to one of the club’s unsung heroes: photographer Harry Cook. You can find him on Twitter @Iamradioant

WHO IS HARRY COOK? IF you go down to the Flamingoland Stadium, you may come across a gent with his bags full of cameras (tools of the trade). He’s got a gentle north eastern accent and is always smiling. At one point he was considered a lucky charm by the guys that know him, because when Harry showed up for a league game, we were guaranteed at least 3 points. I first met Harry at the opening day of the new ground against Sheffield United, when he came down to take photos for the Non-League Paper. I thought it would be great for you guys to know a bit more about this unsung hero, who sits out there capturing flashes of memorable moments of our recent history. He then takes it to a national paper, giving their readership a glimpse into what it’s like to be a Seadog. I asked Harry how long he’d been taking photos at football matches: “I have been a sport snapper for about 5 years now. I’ve been coming down to the Flamingoland Stadium since the first game here against Sheffield United. I’d never seen Scarborough at the old ground around the corner, or when Athletic played down the road at Queensgate, Bridlington,” explains Harry. We spoke about some of the

games he has seen at the ground. The most memorable one that he can remember was the first league game against Hyde United: “The effort from both teams was amazing that day. It was unfortunate to end without a goal.” Harry comes from Stocktonon-Tees, a market town in County Durham. He’s a fan of the local side Stockton Town FC, also known as the Anchors. They had their big day out at Wembley Stadium last season, but lost to Thatcham Town 1-0 on the day. Harry went down to capture the day for them: “To see my home town club at the home of football was amazing. Seeing the team come out onto the Wembley turf and under the arch was stunning. I was the official club photographer that day, I had an access-all-areas pass. The club looked after me that day and even though we lost, it will be a day I’ll never forget.” I asked Harry about where his love of photography came from. He replied: “I used to go on fishing trips and I used to take a camera to take pictures of the day. That’s where it started but with help from a friend, who gave me some tips of the trade, he ran an agency and then I was out at football grounds in the North East. It

has taken me to the Stadium of Light, to Hartlepool to even taking photos for international matches for both men and ladies. I’ve also taken photos for other sports like rugby. I like making the trip to Scarborough Athletic, as the club from the chairman to the stewards are very warm and friendly. That makes it very special to me, I’m always made very welcome here, everyone connected to the club cannot help you enough to help the day run smoothly.” I asked Harry, on his travels into non league football, apart from the Scarborough Athletic team if there have been any interesting players he may have come across. Harry replied, “I can recall ex-Spurs Defender Pascal Chimbonda, playing in the EBAC Northern League Division 1 for Washington FC. He did look the part, but it wasn’t enough for Washington that day as Stockton took them to the cleaners, winning 4-0.” I want to thank Harry for giving us a little insight into his history and telling me his stories of taking photos in all weathers, and want to thank him for what he does for the club. n ALL photos provided are from Harry Cook and if you want to know more about Harry, you can contact him on twitter @haroldcook1953

SPORTS

FROM THE TOUCHLINE The Rugby Football Union (RFU) and Scarborough RUFC have published their fixtures in North One (east) for next season and the opening month couldn’t be more difficult for the Silver Royd-based outfit with only one game out of four at home! They kick the season off on the 9th of September with an away game at Cleckheaton followed on the 16th by a 300 mile round trip to take on Kendal who were relegated from the Northern Premier division last season. The Cumbrian club have been playing in the upper echelons of the league structure for many years and will look to bounce back next season. The Seasiders’ only home game in August is on the 21st when they take on Geordie outfit Percy Park but are back on the road the following week at Huddersfield YMCA on the 28th. North One (east) will be a hugely competitive league with Moortown promoted from Yorkshire One and Durham City from Durham/ Northumberland One; both as champions. Ex-Premiership side West Hartlepool who have since fallen from grace won the play-off with Yorkshire One outfit Heath RUFC and are also promoted from Durham/ Northumberland. Last season the Seasiders took North One (east) by surprise with their open, flowing rugby style; this season many sides will at least think they have worked Simon Smith’s tactics out and consequently I have an inkling that it’s going to be a very hard season.

Rain dampens cycling initiative AN initiative to encourage more young people to take up cycling fell foul of bad weather. A group of adults and children was due to cycle from Burniston to Scarborough via the old railway line. But in the end, only the adults completed the ride to Gladstone Road School, where they were greeted by the borough mayor, Cllr Hazel Lynskey, town crier David Birdsall and road-safety mascot Spike the hedgehog. It was part of a tour of Yorkshire schools developed by 11 local authorities. A baton was passed between schools across the council areas by teams of

cyclists. Part of the route is used by the Tour de Yorkshire. The goal was to increase the number of pupils cycling safely to school and to promote an active lifestyle. This would have the further benefit of improving air quality and reducing congestion outside schools. North Yorkshire County Council's road-safety and travel-awareness officer, Mandy Pepworth, said: “Sadly, due to the amber weather warnings, we could not let the children join us. However our wonderful team wanted to keep the baton going and cycled the baton as long as the weather held off”.

Cty Cllr David Jeffels said: “The highways department has created many cycle routes throughout the county's roads and, ideally, we hope to see the creation of more dedicated safe cycleways which would benefit facilities for the sport and hopefully encourage more people to take it up”. The photo shows Gladstone Road School pupils Annabelle Drake, 10, whose dad Tim is a governor, and Lewis Gostling, 10, with the cyclists, road-safety officers, cycling instructors, road-safety mascot Spike, the mayor and the town crier.

The cyclists are welcomed at Gladstone Road School (to order photos ring 353597)
