ANTI-FRACKERS ARRESTED

The peaceful protest was at Kirby Misperton

A WOMAN who had sex in a pizza takeaway in Scarborough may be heading to jail. Her partner is already in prison for unrelated offences and may have his time inside extended. CCTV captured Daniella Hirst, 29, and Craig Smith, 31, having sex against the counter of Domino's in Castle Road while staff prepared their food. The evidence at their 30-minute trial consisted almost exclusively of an 18-minute film recorded by the takeaway’s security camera and played at the magistrates' court in Scarborough. The three magistrates were expressionless as the film was played on two large screens in the court room. Hirst covered her eyes as the more explicit parts were shown. She pleaded guilty to outraging public decency and Smith was found guilty in his absence. Magistrates adjourned the case until 17 October; there is no maximum penalty for outraging public decency. Bench chair Angela Beardshall said a custodial sentence could not be ruled out. She said: "This offence was in

a public place. It was a lengthy incident. Members of the public were present as were staff. The shop was on a public thoroughfare and members of the public should not have to put up with this disgusting behaviour". She added: “A great deal of the acts were lewd, obscene and disgusting. We view this offence as so serious that it passes the custody threshold”. Defending solicitor Scott McLaughlin said: "Clearly, they were in drink and let their exuberant spirits get the better of them. Miss Hirst's dirty laundry has been aired

in public". The couple, from Bridlington, had met three months before the incident and were out celebrating Smith’s birthday. The film showed them entering Domino's shortly before 11pm on 25 February. They were drunk and ordered food. They simulated sex acts with a cleaning cone before progressing to the real thing. Hirst unzipped Smith’s trousers and performed oral sex on him before the couple had full sex standing up, against the counter next to the till, n Continued on p2.

The X-rated footage went viral when it was posted on social media by a member of Domino's staff. The police established the couple’s identities and charged them with outraging public decency. The case was widely covered in the media. Hirst was quoted as saying: “I'm very openedminded about sex in public places – I love the thrill you may get caught. But obviously I never thought we'd get caught like this and end up all over the internet”. A report in the Sun added that the couple had said they “love having sex in weird places and

A comment at the bottom of one online report said: “She'll be on celebrity big brother next year”. The couple later posed for press photos outside Domino’s, holding pizza boxes and grinning at the camera while simulating sex. In November 2015, Hirst, a builder, was charged with grievous bodily harm with intent and two counts of assault after a fight outside a pub.

Record Revivals changes hands Words and photo by Dave Barry One of Scarborough’s oldest music shops is changing hands. Record Revivals, next to Stephen Joseph Theatre, was launched in Victoria Road in 1982 by Rod Emms, who sold used LPs and singles out of cardboard boxes. As the business grew, it moved to Falsgrave Road then the first of three units in Northway, including one shared with Mojos Music Café. Now, Rod is retiring and handing over the baton to Paul Toole and Gill Brown, who ran two of Scarborough’s most successful music venues, the Stage Door and Talbot. Paul has led a double life in recent years, gaining popularity and bookings at national festivals such as Glastonbury, Womad, where he DJs as Mister Tooley.

Stewart Lee’s new show comes to Spa Theatre Stand-up comedian, writer and director Stewart Lee takes his new show, Content Provider, to Scarborough’s Spa Theatre on Wednesday 4 October. In the mid-1990s, Lee was half of the radio duo Lee and Herring, alongside Richard Herring. He co-wrote and co-directed the mock Broadway hit Jerry Springer: The Opera, a critical success that sparked a backlash from Christian groups who staged a series of protests outside its early stagings. After a return to the live circuit, and through BBC and Channel 4 specials and series, Lee has rebuilt an audience and a reputation as an anti-populist comedian, according to Wikipedia. A 2009 article in the Times referred to him as "the comedian's comedian, and for good reason" and named him "face of the decade". In 2012, Lee was placed at number 9 in the top 100 most influential people in UK comedy. His stand-up features frequent use of "repetition, call-backs, nonchalant delivery and deconstruction", a device he often selfconsciously refers to on stage. Lee chatted to Caroline Feather about his new show. Q How are you Stewart? A I’m ok, but I got bitten by a spider during the previews of this new show and ended up in hospital for a week. They knew what it was at A&E immediately – a false widow. They came to the south of England about a hundred years ago but the winters normally kill them off. Because of climate change there is a population explosion and a lot of people are getting bitten. Donald Trump and Paul Nuttall need to tell the spiders there is no climate change and then maybe they’ll stop biting everyone.

Q You’ve been a stand-up for 28 years now and you’ve won every award going. How do you find the will to keep going? A Well, duty to the kids drives me forward. And it’s all I can do. I write more material than any other comparable stand-up and I cover a lot of ground on the tours every year, but I am getting worn out. I started writing the new show in June and then Brexit happened and obviously you can’t not mention it but I found myself staying awake for about a week trying to work out what was going on so I could work it into the set. In the end I realised nothing was going to change that fast and backed off a bit. Brexit and Trump have made comics’ lives hard though. How people are behaving is beyond satire, so what do you satirise? Q Your new live show is called Content Provider. What can people expect? Will it be the same as your BBC2 series Comedy Vehicle? A It’s very different. Comedy Vehicle was four series of six 30-minute, self-contained sets. This is one two-hour show, although I’ve had to keep the ideas and structure a little less rigid than usual to cope with the sudden surges in news events. There is an apparently meaningless set which is very subtle and cleverly linked to the themes of the show in a way which becomes clear over the evening. It is made entirely from the second hand DVDs of other stand-up comedians, none of which I paid more than 10p for. Other comedians’ DVDs are the cheapest building material in the world. Q Other shows you have been involved in have been controversial, like Jerry Springer: The Opera. Is the new show shocking? A Richard Thomas composed it. I don’t really understand this question but this show is I

Harry’s inspirations talk in Ayton Words and photo by Dave Barry Harry Gration talked about the inspirations behind his life and career, at a talk at Ayton village hall. Delivering the annual Pat Almond memorial lecture, the Look North presenter and sports enthusiast extended his theme to the way Pat continued to inspire young people in the area. He talked about his life in broadcasting, giving an insight behind the scenes at the BBC. “It was very interesting and was very well received”, said Anne Flint, who was in the audience. After his talk, Harry presented prizes to winners of a competition based on his career and interests. It was won by Abdul-Hameed Firfirey, who wrote about the closure of public libraries and the way some had become community-led libraries, in the style of a newspaper report. The runners-up were Akeel Miah and Mason

suppose ‘less shocking’ than usual. I think my core audience is having a bad time at the moment. They are the sort of people who will be depressed about Brexit and Trump. So I feel it’s time to cheer them up, not engage in terrifyingly dark black comedy. The world is bad enough. Q Your BBC2 show was cancelled in February after 10 years and four multi-award winning series. Were you surprised? A Not really. The BBC is facing massive cuts due to the government trying to systematically dismantle it so something had to go from the comedy slate. Also, I’d done about all I could with that format. The truth is, financially I am better off touring that amount of material for two years, making a live DVD and then selling it to Netflix than I am giving more material away to BBC2 for less money. I am 48 with two kids and doing a job with no pension plan so I need to be realistic about making hay while people want to have my hay. Q You’ve been described as ‘the comedian’s comedian’. Is that flattering? A I don’t think it’s the case. Most of the younger comedians seem to hate me, I think, and because I’m not really on the club circuit any more, and do my shows in theatres, I’m not part of any community and none of the new ones know or see my stuff anyway, which is good I suppose, because if they did they would give up. Q What advice do you have for young people trying to be comedians? A Well, it’s the same as with acting or music. It isn’t like 30 years ago. If you’ve got rich parents you might be ok; if you haven’t, don’t bother. Every loophole that allowed people to subsist financially while working out their schtick has been closed and all the opportunities are controlled by the same production companies. It’s a closed shop now that is only open to the wealthy anyway. Do something else. Q Who are your favourite comedians? A Lots of them are dead or unknown, but

Q What are your plans for the future? A Well I’m touring this show until the end of March. I’m supposed to be making a folkrock album with the group Trembling Bells at some point. I wrote a comedy drama about Brexit in September that is with a production company trying to find someone who’ll pay to make it. I’ll write another book for Faber, this one about doing stand-up on TV. But I need to slow down. I have no life and no friends. I don’t do enough with the kids. After the tour ends, I’ll lie on the sofa for a bit and watch ‘60s Italian westerns. They’re all I’ve watched for the last few years really. I’ve seen nearly 200. I like them because the directors and writers tried to slip weird and interesting and political things into them under cover of the movies being genre. I suppose that’s what I try to do with stand-up. At the end of the day, it’s still just comedy, but maybe you can make it meet something better halfway.

Consultant’s talk on A&E for club by Dave Barry A fascinating insight into the hospital’s accident and emergency department was given to Scarborough Probus Club. Guest speaker Ed Smith, an A&E consultant, spoke about the problems in A&E and what is being done to mitigate them. The provision of A&E services in Scarborough is becoming a model for relatively isolated and remote areas and is attracting international interest and recognition, Mr Smith said. The outcome from the treatment of serious medical conditions is best when it is given in specialist units, so highly trained staff are gathered in such centres and local facilities are lost, he said. Long journeys and isolation from family and friends are distressing but can give better care. So if a patient’s nosebleed doesn’t stop with basic treatment, he or she will go to York where the ear, nose and throat services are now. Recruiting the right staff is a major difficulty for Scarborough Hospital, said Mr Smith, who is deputy director of York Hospitals Trust. Young people wishing to be nurses or doctors must leave town to train in major centres. By the time they have qualified and moved

to other centres for experience, they will be old enough to have families. Uprooting to move back to Scarborough will then be less attractive. If a spouse is not involved in healthcare or education, employment prospects for them will be limited in Scarborough, Mr Smith said. The A&E department is therefore selecting experienced nurses who are already settled in Scarborough to become advanced clinical practitioners. They are given further medical training for three years to become skilled at rapid and reliable assessment of every patient arriving at the department to get those needing urgent attention to the best service. Club spokesman Robin Stenhouse said: “Ed's talk was an eye-opener. Despite the few grumbles, we appreciate that we get an admirable service from A&E and other parts of the hospital and the overworked staff. Great efforts are being made to maintain and improve their high standards in difficult times”. Probus, a club for retired people, meets on the first and third Tuesday mornings of each month at the Friends Meeting House. Website: scarboroughprobus.co.uk.

500m walk to raise £500

A WOMAN with a brain tumour and limited mobility aims to raise £500 for charity by attempting to walk 500 metres. Gill Buckle wants to cover the distance between the old tollhouse and the lifeboat station on her own - but may need help. Her friend Maureen Eastwood will accompany Gill with a wheelchair and threewheel rollator as back-up. Maureen said: “As she has a brain tumour, and impaired mobility as a result, she is attempting to walk some of the way and I intend to push her in the wheelchair the rest of the way”. The walk, on Sunday 15 October, aims to raise awareness of brain tumours as well as funds for the Brain Tumour Charity. Donations can be made online at virginmoneygiving.com/gillbuckle. Gill Buckle

ANTI-FRACKERS ARRESTED AT PEACEFUL PROTEST Words by Dave Barry, photos by Mark Vesey Several people have been arrested at a heavily-policed peaceful protest against the start of fracking by Third Energy at Kirby Misperton. When the county council agreed planning conditions for the work to begin, specialist equipment started arriving and the police began kettling demonstrators. In the first few days, seven men and women aged 23-54, were arrested and charged with obstructing the highway. Some were released without charge; the others will appear at York magistrates court in October. A 26-year-old woman was charged with obstructing a police officer and a woman aged 18 was charged with assaulting two police officers in the execution of their duty. One woman who was taken to Scarborough Hospital after being hurt during her arrest was later 'de-arrested'. Mark Vesey, a Green Party borough councillor from Scarborough, visited the fracking site, which is in the countryside between Pickering and Malton. He said: “I was shocked to see elderly residents being dragged across the road by the police. I never expected to see scenes like this in Yorkshire, as a result of the government's inappropriate and ill-advised ‘dash for gas’. “The Vale of Pickering is a beautiful countryside area and should not be

industrialised with fracking rigs and HGVs”, Cllr Vesey said. “What is also shocking is that it took 70 officers to manage the protest for the day and this will go on for as long as the fracking is allowed to take place, which could be months or years. Surely the already stretched police force cannot afford all this extra officer time, standing around and dragging pensioners across roads when we have a high terrorist threat in the UK?” Cllr Vesey urged fracking opponents to write to MP Robert Goodwill and ask him “to put a halt to this un-needed shale-gas exploration and start the real investment for the future in renewable technology and green jobs”. Kim Hunter of Frack-Free Scarborough added: “The police strategy seems to be to allow such minimal protest that people will give up and go home. But we will protest at the site and across the region and country until fracking is banned. We urge people to join their local anti-fracking group”. Supt Alisdair Dey of North Yorkshire Police said the force would act impartially in dealing with protests at the site. "We have a duty to make sure that people who want to assemble and protest do so safely, balanced against a duty to ensure that businesses can go about their lawful commercial activity," he said. Third Energy’s director of operations, John Dewar, said: “After almost three years of planning it is very rewarding to now be

starting work at the well site. "We look forward to running a safe and successful operation that will be carried out with minimal impact on local residents and the environment”. The county council’s chief executive, Richard Flinton, said the authority was “very aware that this is a controversial project of major sensitivity and complexity and that there is widespread concern about the impact it may have upon North Yorkshire’s beautiful environment and upon climate change. “We gave planning consent on a single site which already had drilling for gas on it and this was subject to rigorous planning conditions which we have now agreed. Our role now is to ensure that the planning conditions are fully discharged and monitored”. The company has not yet received final consent to begin fracking, but hopes to have started before the year is out. Apart from fears of contamination of air, soil and water, one of the big problems for Ryedale residents is the large number of lorries on small rural roads, should the industry get established. Fracking involves drilling into the earth before a high-pressure water mixture is directed at rock to release gas inside. Opponents say it can cause water contamination, earthquakes and noise and traffic pollution. Kirby Misperton is due to be the first UK site to use the technique since a ban was lifted in 2012.

UTC becomes a church on Sundays RELIGIOUS services are being held at University Technical College in Weaponness Valley on Sunday mornings. Trinity Church was started in May by Rev Lee McMunn, an ordained Anglican minister. It is about to host a celebration weekend, beginning with a quiz night on Friday 29 September, from 8-10pm. The weekend continues with family fun from 2-4.30pm on Saturday 30 September, with bouncy castles, face painting, games, ice cream, cakes, etc. Bishop Andy Lines will be the guest speaker at the church’s Sunday service on 1 October, starting at 10.30am.

Library Friends group needs Titanic disaster key helps today’s seafarers new leadership to survive by Dave Barry

by Dave Barry A SMALL iron key which could have saved Titanic is helping guarantee seafarers’ futures. The key is thought to have secured the binoculars for the crow’s nest on Titanic, whose sixth officer was James Moody of Scarborough. The key never made the Titanic's fateful maiden voyage, from Southampton to New York in April 1912, because it was inside the pocket of second officer David Blair. Blair was due to sail with the ship but was replaced at the last minute, crucially forgetting to hand over the key when he disembarked. One of Titanic’s lookouts, Fred Fleet, later told an enquiry that the binoculars could have saved the ship and 1,522 lives. Blair kept the key, passing it onto his daughter Nancy, who donated it to the Sailors’ Society in the 1980s. In 2007, the international maritime charity sold the key to a Chinese businessman for £90,000 at an auction in Wiltshire. The proceeds are still helping to fund its education programme. Grants and bursaries help aspiring seafarers achieve careers at sea and seafaring families who are unable to afford an education. Stuart Rivers of the Sailors’ Society said: “The money we raised from the sale has been

changing the lives of students around the world by giving them the opportunity of an education”. Since 2011, more than 100 people have received scholarships and nautical grants from the society. James Moody passed through the King Edward VII Nautical School less than a year before Titanic was lost, achieving his master’s certificate on 26 April 1911. His last actions were poignantly recalled by Geoffrey Marcus in his book The Maiden Voyage. “Moody stayed with the ship to the end and was the means of saving many a life that would otherwise have been lost”. A plaque in St Martin’s Church is dedicated to Moody.

A VOLUNTEER group that has supported Scarborough Library for 17 years has run out of steam and looks like folding. The library’s Friends group will disband at the end of the year unless someone steps up to take charge. Since 2000, the Friends have raised thousands of pounds to support the library, where it holds meetings and events. From small beginnings, it grew to a membership of 200 people. But now stalwart and long-time organiser Colin Langford is being forced to stand down because of poor health. Other committee members have also stood down or moved away. “The Friends have been successful and popular over the years, so it will be a shame to see it wind down”, Colin says. “It’s a good social group, with monthly meetings and other events, but the main objective is to support the library. That is particularly important at the moment, given the financial pressures. “I would be happy to meet anyone who might be interested in taking over, to discuss what is involved. We have a programme that runs to the end of the year, but we would need someone to come forward soon to pick up the programme for next year”. Over the years, the Friends have been

involved in major projects. Colin says: “A few years ago, we had the Bechstein grand piano in the library’s concert room restored at a cost of £8,000, which we raised from donations and funds from Scarborough Council”. The piano quality is good enough to attract internationally renowned pianists and is used in weekly lunchtime concerts. On 24 November, at 12.30pm, Eyran Katsenelenbogen will perform with Tal Zilber. The group supported the restoration of Edward Bawden’s 1931 map of Scarborough, which was donated to the library and restored by the County Record Office. It has supported numerous other improvements, including new carpet for the children’s section. It has run activities such as fundraising book sales, quizzes and a book club and has a music group that performs regularly. Friends meetings are on the first Saturday of the month, from 11am to noon. The remaining meetings will feature talks on a visit to India and butterflies of Yorkshire and a Christmas concert. Full details can be found at the library. Non-members pay £1. Anyone interested in helping to keep the Friends going should call at the library, email scarborough.library@northyorks. gov.uk or ring 01609 536602.

Instructive talk for stamp club

Getting legless on three-legged pub crawl

THE president of Yorkshire Philatelic Association gave an entertaining and instructive talk for its Scarborough counterpart. Graham Winters’ “engaging manner, befitting a retired school-teacher, entranced our members”, said a club spokesperson. He recounted his changing interests and ambitions in stamp collecting from childhood. At the society's next meeting, Rev John Walden from Harrogate will talk about fun and frivolity with stamps. Visitors interested in stamps and postal history are welcome. It will be at the library at 7pm on 3 October.

THE third annual Andrew McGeown Legacy Fund three-legged pub crawl raised nearly £1,200 for Scarborough RNLI. “That's 80 free places on the SwimSafe programme in 2018 to educate young people aged 7-14 about the dangers of swimming in the sea and open water”, said Tina Boden, who chairs the fund. A four-legged entry consisted of three lifeboat crew members – Paul Huggins, Rich Egan and Matt Jones. Frank and Kev Roberts took part with their other halves, Elaine and Maria, who were queens of the dance floor at the after-party in the Newlands.

The event was organised by Scarborough Ladies Lifeboat Guild, whose deputy events secretary Judith Hargreaves (in a white dress) went beyond the call of duty by helping to sew pearly buttons onto Lina’s pearly queen outfit. The guild’s next fundraising event is a High Society afternoon tea at the Palm Court Hotel on 24 October, at 2pm.

Hundreds turn out for nocturnal hospice walk Words and walk photos by Dave Barry ABOUT 430 people - and a few dogs - took part in Saint Catherine’s 10th annual Starlight Walk. The rain held off as walkers, holding personalised lanterns, set off from the hospice at 9pm on a Saturday night.

The 6.5-mile route took them into Scarborough and around the north and south bays. The halfway point was the Harbour Bar, which has always supported the event by staying open much later than usual. Event organiser Nicky Grunwell said: “We are thrilled that the evening was such a success. It was lovely to see the personal and touching messages on the dedication lanterns”. Nicky thanked the walk’s sponsors - the Coop, the Harbour Bar, Cooplands, the Tuesday Singers, Nicky Sweeney-Chisholm from Motiv8 and the walkers. * Saint Catherine’s has launched a new fundraising initiative - Crazy Hair Day. Anyone can join in, from schools and

workplaces to community groups and clubs, any day in October. All you have to do is get creative with your hair and put £1 in the pot to support the hospice. To get involved, ring Rhiannon Hunt on 378406 or email rhiannon.hunt@saintcatherines.org. uk. * Saint Catherine’s next big event is the Santa Dash on 10 December. Entrants can register on the hospice website, www. saintcatherines.org.uk. * Senior health-care assistant Diane Wingfield has retired after 28 years of service. Diane started as a volunteer at the old hospice building on Scalby Road when her children were young. “I would come in and help in the in-patient unit and the day hospice. I loved volunteering and when I was offered some paid hours as a health-care assistant in the day hospice I was delighted. “Being at Saint Catherine’s has been a big part of my life”, she said. “It is full of wonderful people. The staff, the patients and families are all great. Despite what people may think, it is a very happy place to work”. Day hospice team leader, who has worked with Diane for the last 28 years, said: “Diane is the kind of lady who makes Saint Catherine’s special. The patients love her easy nature and none of us will forget her amazing laugh”.

October - Issue 50 Newly-weds Tom and Peggy in Liverpool

Filey man swaps tonsils for girlfriend Words and recent photo by Dave Barry FILEY man Tom Ballinger swapped his tonsils for a girlfriend in hospital nearly 66 years ago. In 1952, having your tonsils removed involved a fortnight in hospital. Being a signalman in the Signals Regiment, attached to the War Office and stationed in Woolwich, Tom had to go to a military hospital. While recuperating, he fell in love with a young woman, Peggy Kempton from Dartford, who was working in the hospital’s Naafi shop. “We hit it off straight away”, Tom says. “It was love at first sight”. Seven months later, on 13 September 1952, the couple married at St Andrew’s Church in Tom’s native Liverpool. “Strike while the iron’s hot!” Tom says. By then, he had been demobbed and had returned to the family home. He trained as a plumber but switched to the building trade and became a branch manager for a national roofing firm. After having and bringing up their children, Peggy worked as a housemother in a girls

assessment centre, previously known as a remand home, for 15 years before retiring. The couple lived in Liverpool until 1990, when they swapped the west coast for the east coast. They had visited Filey for holidays and fallen in love with it, Tom recalls. They have two daughters. Linda is married to John Molyneux. Their daughter Sarah has a son Aaron, 9. Susan and her husband Terry Holmes have four children: Emma, David, Charlotte (Charlie) and Maddie. Between them, they have provided Tom and Peggy with six great grandchildren: Jack, Alice, S p e n c e r, Isobel, Max and Ella. Most of the family live in Filey except Linda and her family who live in Derbyshire and David who lives in Leeds. Tom, 88, and Peggy, 87, of Chevin Drive, celebrated their 65th wedding anniversary with a family celebration at the Smugglers Cove in the Buccaneer in Union Street, Filey. It was attended by 19 people: 12 adults and seven children.

RETIREMENT-AGE EXTENSION WILL AFFECT “Most recently, the government announced 45,000 LOCALS Words and photo by Dave Barry

PLANS to extend the retirement age from 66 to 68 will affect nearly 45,000 people aged under 48 in Scarborough and Whitby, according to Labour. Shadow pensions minister Alex Cunningham was in Scarborough during a national tour looking at the state pension. The Conservative government has announced plans to extend the retirement age from 66 to 68 from 2037, which will see 37m people having to work longer. The MP for Stockton North said that in the Scarborough & Whitby constituency this would affect 44,774 people who are currently aged under 48. “Labour will keep the state pension age at 66”, he said. “This tour will help us review the pension system so we can guarantee a secure and healthy retirement for the many, not just the few”. Speaking at an open meeting at Falsgrave Community Resource Centre, the shadow minister said: “Older people have been badly let down by the government. During the general election, the Tories failed to provide transitional protection to women born in the 1950s who have had the increase in their state pension age accelerated. In addition, they failed to guarantee they would protect the state pension triple-lock and winter fuel allowance.

that they will be accelerating the increase in the state pension age to 68 at the same time it was announced that increases in life expectancy had ground to a halt”. Mr Cunningham said: “Labour’s manifesto pledged to retain the triple lock and winter fuel allowance, as well as provide support for 1950s-born women through pensions credit and further transitional protections. Labour has also rejected the accelerated increase in the state pension age to 68.” However, the constituency’s Conservative MP, Robert Goodwill, retorted: “Like all of Labour's policies, they are entirely uncosted plans. The last Labour government left us all with a mountain of debt to clear. If Jeremy Corbyn ever got into Downing Street, he would bankrupt us again”.

In search of a new generation of archaeologists Words and photo by Dave Barry FIVE-YEAR-OLD Samiul Kalam’s eyes lit up as he pulled an ancient pottery shard from a container full of earth. It was one of 19 items ‘buried’ there by members of Scarborough Archaeological and Historical Society. The aim was to entertain youngsters and possibly plant the seed of interest which could germinate into a lifelong hobby - or even profession. Samiul was keen as mustard as he delved into the earth in search of who-knows-what. The 19 items in each of several trays ranged from Victorian pottery to Roman coins, said Simon Temlett, who chairs the society. “They are all things that have been found in and around Scarborough”, he said, adding that the 30-odd children who took part were given an 800-year-old piece of pottery as a souvenir. The society was founded as an excavating group in 1947 by a group of enthusiasts keen to preserve and research the area’s rich

archaeological inheritance. The organisation aims to increase and disseminate knowledge of and interest in the archaeology and history of Scarborough and the surrounding area; to undertake and support research into sites and archives of archaeological, architectural and historical interest; and the publication of the results of such researches. Subjects of the society’s next lecture series at the library include Yorkshire Antiquities by George Sheeran (2 Oct), Vice-Admiral Sir John Lawson by Gill Blanchard (16 Oct), the 1984 fire at York Minster and the restoration of the roof by John Toy (30 Oct), the Roman Roads Research Association by Mike Haken (13 Nov), the Anglo-Saxon origins of the churches and parishes of the Scarborough area by Steve Bassett (27 Nov) and brewery trips to the town by Keith Johnston (11 Dec). The lectures are open to the public at a cost of £3. They are due to start at 7.30pm. Website: www.sahs.org.uk.

Free help with climbing family trees Words and photo by Dave Barry COUNTLESS amateur genealogists are making the most of a free helping hand when delving into their family history. A monthly session at Scarborough library has become more and more popular over the 17 years it has been running. “The past has many secrets that are waiting to be discovered”, said a spokesperson for the local branch of the East Yorkshire Family History Society, which organises it. “Amateur genealogists can find out about relatives they did not know they had”. The curious can play family-history detective and learn how to trace their family history online, with the help of experienced and intuitive volunteers such as Richard Crocker. Richard is pictured helping Valerie Barron with her family research. “He's a great help”, Valerie said, adding that

she became smitten with the genealogy bug 40 years ago. She can now trace her ancestors back six generations to one of her great great great great grandfathers, who lived from 1719-1808. The society was launched in Beverley about 30 years ago then extended to Hull, Bridlington and Scarborough. It has about 1,410 members. Its quarterly magazine is called the Banyan Tree because founder Tom Harrison lived in India where he observed the banyan tree spreading its roots and liked the analogy. It contains articles, news, a help section and a spotlight on villages. The local branch meets at St Andrew’s church hall in Ramshill. Speakers include Christine Hepworth, who will take an imaginary walk down Scarborough high street (31 Oct) and Brian Mulvana, who will talk about the town’s trams (28 Nov). Meetings begin at 2pm.

Old parcels office to host arty beer festival Words and photo by Dave Barry THE CAPACIOUS building at the far end of the railway station has been put to several uses in its 134-year history. It was constructed in 1883 as an excursion station, with toilets for passengers arriving on corridor-less trains, a waiting room and three smaller rooms used by guards, carriage inspectors and cabmen. When a separate excursion station was built at nearby Londesborough Road in 1908, the building became a parcels office. Today, it is known as the old parcels office and is being used as studios by artists. And from Thursday 12 to Saturday 14 October, it will host its second annual beer and cider festival, run by the Scarborough branch of Camra - the Campaign for Real Ale. It will feature 60 real ales and 20 ciders and perries from across the country, including local ales and many making their first appearance in the town. The festival is a great way to sample the huge range available – mild, bitter, best bitter, golden ales, old ales, strong milds, stout, porter, barley wine, strong old ale, strong bitter and speciality beers. It will feature live music with an open mic and the Fuzz Junkies on the Thursday; Jesse Hutchinson and the Woolgatherers on the Friday; and Frankie Dixon and the Dirty Windows ukulele band on the Saturday.

Big screens have been hung on the walls of the music room to try and improve the sound quality. There will be food stalls, a Camra stall and a fundraising corner in aid of local charities. The middle room will have plenty of tables and chairs for people to sit around and browse through tasting notes for the dozens of brews on offer. The yellow-brick walls in all three rooms will be adorned with art by the artists-inresidence. The festival will run from noon until 11pm daily. Volunteers are needed. Application forms are available at the North Riding and Stumble Inn and online at www. scarboroughbeerfestival.camra.org.uk.

Charity tackles extreme poverty around the world by Dave Barry IN SCARBOROUGH, Britain and everywhere else, 17 October is known by many as the ‘World day to overcome extreme poverty’. The United Nations recognised the date in 1987 when a commemorative stone was unveiled by the Eiffel Tower in Paris. 100,000 people were present that day, since when it has grown into a global phenomenon. It was the brainchild of Joseph Wresinski, who grew up in poverty in Paris. He was born in 1917 so 2017 marks not only the 30th anniversary of the inaugural day but the centenary of the founder’s birth, says Scarborough supporter Mark Vesey. “What makes 17 October special is that its theme is listening to the poor”, Mark explains. “Wresinski saw that most governments and agencies think they know what is best for poor people but in reality it is often the poor themselves who understand the barriers to escaping poverty”. Root causes include lack of work, secure housing, education, health and confidence. “Deep poverty often afflicts many generations of the same family”, Mark adds. In 1957, Wresinski founded ATD Fourth World, to help families suffering extreme poverty. “What humans need most is dignity and a sense of worth”, says Mark. “Wresinski said that nobody should die without having given the best of themselves in life. This means having opportunities and support”. Volunteers work for ATD Fourth World in 32 countries, including some of the richest, such as the UK, USA, France and Germany. In Britain, they work with families where poverty often results in having children removed by social services. They use culture, education and art to build relationships with families and support them in their fight for recognition and dignity. They work with the government and social services to influence policy and publish books and reports about their work and findings. For more information visit www.overcomingpoverty.org.

New series of talks for debate club by Dave Barry SCARBOROUGH 40 Club is about to begin a new series of talks by guest speakers. The club, which describes itself as a ‘gentlemen’s debating group’, was founded in 1899. It meets at the Friends’ Meeting House, near the hospital, at 7.30pm on Thursdays from October to March. The club says it has maintained a steadfast voice in the community throughout is long history. Press secretary Alan Hargreaves says: “Although membership has decreased from the heady days of 40 members, we still have an important role to play in encouraging good debate and public speaking, particularly in these days of instant communication. “The club’s survival has been the result of adherence to the simple rules and procedures laid down by our founder Henry Vasey”, Alan says. “In the 21st century it would be easy to allow our standards to slip. By maintaining our traditions and following our motto, we will continue to provide a platform for frank and forthright debate for the gentlemen of the Scarborough district and beyond”. Events arranged for this year are a talk by Keith Vollans entitled Weird, wonderful, strange (5 Oct), a talk by Ray Clarke (12 Oct), a visit by York speakers (19 Oct), a talk by Mark Vesey called Our council (26 Oct), impromptu topics (2 Nov), a visit to York (9 Nov), a talk by Ian Baird entitled The matter is closed (16 Nov), and a talk by Alan Hargreaves called Forgotten Man (23 Nov).

Roadworks cause traffic havoc and sleepless nights on seafront Words and photo by Dave Barry ROADWORKS have been causing havoc for traffic on Scarborough’s seafront - and will continue until December. Temporary traffic lights have been channelling traffic into a single lane to pass resurfacing machinery and workers on Royal Albert Drive and Peasholm Gap. The county council estimates that the work should be completed by 9 October. The authority’s executive member for highways, Cllr Don Mackenzie, said: “We scheduled the work for after the school holidays to cause as little disruption as possible and would like to thank residents and motorists for their patience and cooperation”. As soon as that work is done, resurfacing will begin on Sandside. Residents will struggle to sleep as it will be done at night, between 7pm and 2am. It is estimated to take a week. The road will be closed and traffic diverted. Further disruption will come on 9 October when work begins on a malfunctioning power cable which has knocked out the Marine Drive street-lights between the old tollhouse and the skatepark.

An investigation into a fault has revealed damage to an underground cable. Cllr Mackenzie said: “The underground cable is so badly damaged that the whole length, over one kilometre, needs to be replaced. “The cable is of a type that local authorities do not normally use - it was previously owned by the local electricity company. The cost for a temporary repair would run into several thousand pounds, assuming engineers were able to locate the fault on such an old cable and if a temporary repair was even possible. “The work to replace the cable will mean

excavating a trench in the parking bays between Albert Road [aka Chain Hill] and Sandside. The road will remain open and, all being well, the scheme will be finished in early December. However, there will be some suspension of parking bays during the work”. Cllr Janet Jefferson, who represents the Castle ward, said: “These are essential works, which are best done at a less busy time of year to minimise disruption to residents and visitors alike”. The work is being paid for by the Government’s National Productivity Investment Fund.

Archbishop plans weekend on the coast

The Archbishop of York

by Dave Barry THE ARCHBISHOP of York will spend a ‘mission weekend’ in the Scarborough area from 13-15 October. Dr John Sentamu will visit churches, the hospice, the market hall, a cafe, a pub, a

holiday park and a barn dance. On the Friday, he will call at schools to meet pupils, give talks and answer questions about the Christian faith. At 7pm, the archbishop will give a talk at All Saints Church in Hunmanby. On the Saturday he will visit: * Saint Catherine’s, for breakfast with civic and business leaders, * The Market Hall, where the Pearl of Africa choir will perform, * The Solid Rock café, for a cup of tea, * The Newcastle Packet pub, to meet members of the fishing community, * The Marks & Spencer loading bay, to give a short talk at 3pm, * St Mary’s Parish House, for a barn dance with live band Grassroots and a pie-and-pea supper. Proceeds from the evening will go to the

Rainbow Centre, which helps the homeless and families and individuals in crisis. Tickets are available from the centre and churches. On the Sunday, the archbishop will attend a service celebrating the 120th anniversary of St Thomas’s Church in Gristhorpe. It is due to start at 9.30am. His next stop will be Scarborough Fair at the Flower of May holiday park near Lebberston, which is hosting a day of worship and activities for all ages. Entrance is free but tickets must be obtained in advance, from local churches. * During the same weekend, the Archdeacon of the East Riding, Rev Andy Broom, will visit Ebor Academy in Filey, on the Friday; and the Bishop of Hull, Rt Rev Alison White, will go on a prayer walk in Filey and visit St Mary’s Church in Scarborough for a wedding blessing, both on the Saturday.

Uni campus adds six new degrees to syllabus by Dave Barry A YEAR after it opened, Coventry University has welcomed 400 students to its Scarborough campus and introduced six new degree courses. The new academic year sees a range of new courses including health and social care; primary education and teaching; business management and leadership; law and practice; and cyber security and computing science. In the run-up to the new term, new students attended an induction day and freshers’

fair. They met tutors to find out more about their courses and joined in extra-curricular activities. The new year marks an important milestone for the university. Students studying certain degrees can now stay on the same course but switch between campuses in Scarborough, Dagenham and Coventry at the end of an academic year if they want. Professor Craig Gaskell, associate pro-vicechancellor of the campus, said: “We are delighted to welcome both new and existing students for the next academic year. “It was just 12 months ago that we opened our state-of-the-art building and we have been going from strength to strength ever since. “It is excellent that we have expanded the range of courses on offer this year and this has been reflected in our growing student numbers. “We look forward to welcoming students from CU London and CU Coventry who choose to complete their degree in Scarborough”.

Scarborough Review • www.thescarboroughreview.co.uk The White Swan

Survivors awarded charity equivalent of MBE Words and photos by Dave Barry

Hunmanby pub thrives after a close shave Words and photos by Dave Barry A VILLAGE pub is thriving, two years after locals saved it from the wrecking ball. Enterprise Inns, which owned the White Swan in Hunmanby, wanted to build a lot of flats at the back. As a grade-2 listed building, the facade had to be kept but the interior was to be gutted, according to the initial application. This was quickly withdrawn and replaced. “Although the pub would have remained open, no-one believed it was viable without the rest of the site and would have closed within a year or two”, says campaigner John Wragg. A conservation campaign was mounted by horrified villagers - seven or eight in particular, but with the support of many more. They hired a planning consultant and raised funds. “At one point, we had £15,000 in the bank”, says John. When Scarborough Council turned the planning application down, the company appealed. Persuading the authority to hear the appeal in the village community centre was a stroke of genius. The centre’s main hall was filled to bursting with campaign supporters, all crossing their fingers. The government planning inspector said he had never seen so many people at such a hearing. The appeal was quickly refused. “So we knew we had a strong case”, John recalls.

Enterprise Inns immediately put the pub on the market, inviting sealed bids which had to be submitted within a fortnight. Fortune smiled on the former coaching inn, which had stables round the back. It was bought by a man who genuinely liked oldfashioned village pubs and who had another 17 scattered around North Yorkshire. The building was in urgent need of renovation. John says: “He fixed everything and made the place safe then had it redecorated and laid new carpets and so on”. Landlord Andy Bowles, who ran the pub for Enterprise Inns, now rents the pub off the new owner and runs it with his family. Without the pub company’s massive overheads, Andy slashed 50p off the price of a pint and the pub grew busier. The fundraising activities continued, with the proceeds shared between local charities such as the brownies, a young football team and the hospice. At the moment, the money is going to Hunmanby’s Alzheimer's support group, which meets in the Methodist church hall. In July, the Yorkshire air ambulance was the beneficiary. The new owner provided a new shed at the back for Hunmanby Pigeon Club, founded 47 years ago. Lunch and dinner are served seven days a week, bingo sessions are run on Thursday nights, bands sometimes play on Saturday nights and John and Andy run a Christmas savings club. The pub, which is 200-300 years old, has a function room for hire and four B&B rooms. The bar has three hand-pulled pumps. Cumberland and John Smith are always on, plus two guest ales.

THE CHARITY equivalent of an MBE has been presented to Scarborough Survivors. A Queen’s award for voluntary service was bestowed on the mental-health charity at a ceremony at Ganton Hall. Survivors was one of five North Yorkshire charities recognised with the award, which is the highest honour a group can achieve in the UK. The others were Holgate Windmill Preservation Society from York; PhysioNet, based near York; Nidderdale Museum Society in Pateley Bridge; and York Against Cancer. The awards were presented by the lordlieutenant of North Yorkshire, Barry Dodd, who was joined by his vice-lieutenant, Peter Scrope. Mr Dodd said: “This is the highest number of Queen’s awards for voluntary service won by North Yorkshire since the award was instituted in 2002, surpassing the previous high of three achieved last year. I encourage people to nominate other worthy groups from our county for this award in future”. Chief executive officer Andrea Woolcott said: “We are absolutely delighted to have been awarded this honour. “It is a testament to those service users who founded the charity back in 1994, who wanted to improve and make a difference to the lives of others affected by mental ill health”, Mrs Woolcott said. “As an organisation, we have grown over the

It takes the form of a multicoloured circular arc. Rainbows caused by sunlight always appear in the section of sky directly opposite the sun. Rainbows can be full circles. However, the observer normally sees only an arc formed by illuminated droplets above the ground and centred on a line from the sun to the observer’s eye. In a primary rainbow, the arc shows red on the outer part and violet on the inner side. This is caused by light being refracted when entering a droplet of water, then reflected inside on the back of the droplet and refracted again when leaving it. In a double rainbow, a second arc is seen outside the primary arc and has the order of its colours reversed, with red on the inner side of the arc. This is caused by the light being reflected twice on the inside of the droplet before exiting it.

Words and photo by Dave Barry EVERY cloud has a silver lining. One of the advantages of having such mixed weather this year is the greater frequency of eye-catching rainbows. This vivid double rainbow appeared when a torrential downpour over some parts of Scarborough was accompanied by bright sunshine in other areas. The photo was taken with the panorama setting of an iPhone camera from the far corner of Woodlands cemetery, where the whole of the town can be seen beyond the gravestones. The buildings visible include, from left to right, the Tech, the hospital, Graham School and the castle. According to Wikipedia, a rainbow is a meteorological phenomenon caused by reflection, refraction and dispersion of light in water droplets resulting in a spectrum of light appearing in the sky.

last 10 years to what we are today. The award is acknowledgement of all we have achieved”. The charity, based in Alma Square, provides and manages a resource centre offering daily activities to promote mental health well-being and to break down isolation. It facilitates a self-supporting group covering Scarborough and the surrounding area. It is run by people with direct experience of mental-health problems, either personally or as a carer, close relative or friend. The emphasis is on self-help and sharing information gained from personal experience. A key aspect is to represent the voice of the service user on a wide range of committees and groups locally. The award ceremony was held at Ganton Hall because it’s owned by a deputy lieutenant, Venetia Wrigley, who promotes the QAVS scheme and was involved in assessing one of the award winners.

Rainbow Centre celebrates 20th birthday with an appeal by Dave Barry SCARBOROUGH’S Rainbow Centre is asking people to celebrate its 20th birthday by raising money for it. Spokesperson Ros Dyson says: “On the weekend of Friday 20 October to Sunday 22 October, we are inviting schools, organisations, businesses, individuals, churches, etc to help us celebrate and raise money for us in any way they wish”. They could use the number 20 as a theme by baking and selling cake at 20p per slice or selling raffle tickets for 20p, for example. Ros says: “Perhaps schools, businesses, etc would like to celebrate Rainbow Friday on 20 October - or any other day if preferred”. On Saturday 21 October, the Rainbow Centre is having an open day between 10am and 3pm. “We hope as many people as possible will come and celebrate with us”, Ros says. “There will be refreshments, entertainment (at 20 past the hour) and escorted tours.

There will be no charge but donations will be most welcome”. The mayor and mayoress are to visit at 11am. The centre is asking all churches in the town to celebrate Rainbow Sunday on 22 October. “They may wish to have a collection for us or to do refreshments after the service, perhaps even organise a meal”, says Ros. The Rainbow Centre is a social-action project and registered charity in Castle Road. With a strong church base, it was set up in 1997 by congregation members from St Mary’s and Holy Apostles Church to address issues faced by homeless people. It now aims to help a range of community members, including the homeless, families in crisis and individuals facing challenges due to a history of substance misuse, poverty or returning from prison. It is supported by a range of individuals, churches, charities, government and local businesses such as Peace of Mind Financial Solutions and Escape 2 the Sands.

Scarborough Tales

BY JOE COATES

A unique celebration at the SJT

Stephen Joseph Theatre

By Joe Coates ONE of the biggest single attractions for tourists in Scarborough is the Stephen Joseph Theatre. Chat around in the bar and “in the round” and you’ll find people have travelled far, some from overseas, to see a play at this iconic theatre. There are plenty of locals as well. This tale celebrates the achievements of Sir Alan Ayckbourn, sprinkled with a few little true anecdotes. Mr. and Mrs. C were excited. They were at the Stephen Joseph Theatre for a unique celebration of Sir Alan Ayckbourn’s work, “A Brief History of Plays.” Over two evenings, Sir Alan and a team of actors would be sharing extracts from his 81 plays. Many of these plays went on to be performed in London, and across the world. Well done indeed Sir Alan! 60 years in Scarborough! A prolific writer and creative director, second only to William Shakespeare in theatre success! The world was beckoning, yet he remained faithful to his beloved Scarborough, and still lives “in the old town”. The audience hung on every word Sir Alan spoke. Mrs. C was careful about her little snacks. She remembered once opening a large box of Maltezers during a performance, ….. and dropping them! Little noisy chocolate balls rolling and bouncing around the seats! Never again! She listened carefully. Sir Alan had arrived in Scarborough as a teenager to join the company of actors who performed in the theatre at the library. That’s where he met Stephen Joseph, the director who inspired and encouraged him so much. In due course, Alan began writing the plays which the company performed. The theatre moved from the library to Westwood, where top class theatre was provided for years. There was tinge of sadness when they moved from Westwood. However, Westwood had its weaknesses. Mr. C remembered in his teaching days taking children to see a performance. A child found himself to be bursting for the toilet. It was nearly the interval, but no, he

couldn’t wait! The only way to get to the toilet was by walking across the stage, through the play. The actors professionally continued while Mr. C and the boy walked through the set to the toilet, and back again a few minutes later. The show must go on, and did. Sir Alan mentioned the theatre’s move from Westwood to the Odeon cinema. The building kept its Odeon look, while being radically changed inside into a modern theatre, with two auditoria for plays, movies and live streaming. The SJT has become an outstanding success, with many extra facilities: workshops such as choirs, creative writing, dance, theatre groups for children and young people to provide outreach to the community, as well as a wide variety of theatre productions. Mr. C chuckled to himself at another amusing time in the SJT. He was with a large group of schoolchildren coming to see a pre-Christmas play. They filled half the theatre. All were settled in their seats chatting normally. Across the stage was another school group, which filled the other half of the theatre. They were also chatting normally. A teacher on the other side said “Shhhh!” to a child and the whole theatre suddenly went quiet, both sides, both schools. Nobody spoke. The silence went on and on, each group of children looking across at the other group. Five minutes became ten minutes of silence and looking. At last the theatre staff arrived, those who stand at the top of the steps and close the curtains so the performance can begin. And it began. Everyone relaxed! And so Sir Alan concluded the unique celebration of his work. The audience responded in warm appreciation and tribute. Knighted in 1997, Sir Alan Ayckbourn is a man of whom Scarborough, and world theatre, can be very, very proud. 60 years here, and still as busy as ever! n Copyright joecoates2017 www.northbaytales.com

Rotunda festival of fossils and dinosaurs

Dinosaur nut Thomas Elliott meets a tyrannosaurus rex

Words and photos by Dave Barry DINOSAURS and geology enthralled hundreds of children from seven schools on the first day of the annual Yorkshire fossil festival. One school took 93 pupils to the Rotunda Museum in Scarborough for the festival’s education day, on the Friday. All together, 410 children attended. Museum of Natural History experts demonstrated how tall a megalosaurus was and how fast it could move by getting children to try and run in its footprints. The museum’s calculations were based on megalosaurus tracks found in a quarry in Oxfordshire. The megalosaurus was the first dinosaur to be named, 175 years ago. Thomas Elliott, 9, indulged his dinosaur obsession to the max, acting as a knowledgeable guide to his parents and brother. Thomas, from Norton, was described as “a dinosaur nut” by his mum.

But the festival wasn’t just about dinosaurs: it was a lively, engaging and family-friendly programme of hands-on workshops, interactive displays, rock pooling, street performances and other events. Organised by Scarborough Museums Trust and sponsored by the Palaeontological Association, it sought to enlighten and engage families and young people in the world of geology and earth sciences. The geology experts and scientists who shared their knowledge came from Whitby Museum, the natural history museums in London and at Oxford University, York Museums Trust, Dinosaur Isle Museum, Hidden Horizons, Leeds and Leicester universities, the Palaeontological Association, Yorkshire Wildlife Trust, Yorkshire Geological Society, Rotunda Geology Group and High Tide Publishing. The education day was followed by two public days, on the Saturday and Sunday.

Words and photos by Dave Barry Public and private sector organisations have pledged to transform the supply of muchneeded, highly-skilled local labour to meet the ever-growing demands of the area’s construction and housing industries. The construction and housing employment and skills pledge (CHESP) aims to support the construction and housing sectors in building the anticipated 9,000 homes required in the borough of Scarborough by 2032. It hopes to overcome the major skills shortages and gaps in skills provision required to achieve that goal, which are being experienced in the construction industry on a local, regional and national level. The organisations have pledged to work together to: * Ensure CHESP is embedded into all planning applications; * Work closely with employers of all sizes and gain a better understanding of the skills required today and in the future; * Develop a local workforce with recognised skills which will enable them to build the homes needed to the required timescales; * Help address a major construction skills shortage across the borough by providing apprenticeships and employment opportunities for local people on every major construction and housing development; * Raise the profile of the industry in schools and with key agencies and parents to help identify

and support individuals of all ages and abilities to consider construction as a career choice; * To deliver demand-led training locally with the purpose of upskilling and training individuals to support business and industry needs; * Encourage construction developers who do not directly recruit local labour to commit to increase opportunities for local supply chains and individuals on every scheme. The pledge launch was attended by representatives of the Cabinet Office implementation unit, the Department for Communities and Local Government and public and private sector partners including Northern Regeneration CIC, North Yorkshire and East Riding Local Enterprise Partnership, Scarborough Council, the Federation of Small Businesses, Kebbell Homes, Keepmoat Homes and social housing providers. They were taken on a tour of the Construction Skills Village (CSV) at Middle Deepdale, at Eastfield. The tour promoted the importance of the CSV work in developing the skills needed and raising awareness of the pledge.

Errant landlord fined £9,000 A Scarborough landlord has had to pay over £9,000 for failing to fix his flats. Ewan McFerran of Manor Road was found guilty of two offences under the Housing Act 2004. Scarborough Council told McFerran to make improvements to two flats he rents out in Westbourne Grove, on the South Cliff. He was ordered to carry out “much-needed” electrical repairs. When he didn’t, the council prosecuted McFerran, who pleaded guilty at court and was fined £3,500 per offence, which with costs, totalled £9,099. The council is trying to ensure that landlords comply with the terms of a new selective licensing scheme, introduced across the castle

and north bay areas on 1 July. Landlords have to apply for a £550 licence and meet a range of conditions. They need a gas safety certificate if there is gas in the property, smoke alarms, other fire safety measures and safe electrical appliances. They must have suitable tenancy agreements and appropriate management arrangements in place, including those for dealing with antisocial behaviour and security. Proposed licence holders and managers are required to prove they are ‘fit and proper’ persons. The council’s housing manager, Andrew Rowe, said: “While Mr McFerran’s properties on Westbourne Grove aren’t in the designated areas for the scheme, should he ever find himself in the position of needing to apply for a

licence, the fact that we have had to take legal action against him is highly likely to impact on his ability to prove he is a ‘fit and proper’ person. “We will continue to assess the effectiveness of the scheme in the designated areas and may consider extending it to other areas. Therefore our message to all landlords, no matter where your properties are, is take your responsibilities seriously to protect the welfare of your tenants, otherwise you could find your livelihood at risk”. Landlords must apply for the licence by 31 December to avoid a penalty charge and potential prosecution for operating an unlicensed property.

LIBRA

23RD SEPT - 22ND OCT

I wouldn’t describe your mood as being smug, exactly, but nevertheless, you should be feeling pretty pleased with yourself around this time! A number of problems and uncertainties will have been resolved in your favour, and you should be enjoying some bright feelings of freedom and fresh confidence. While this is true for every Libran, ladies

A quiet mood of determination helps you to focus on one issue at a time, and as such, a lot of niggling frustrations are resolved over the course of the month. Relationships seem stable but maybe you could do something to spice things up a bit, especially around the 14-15 when a little ripple of sexual excitement makes its presence felt.

TAURUS

20TH APRIL - 20TH MAY

Well, the summer has gone and here you are, battling into another winter. Despite the weight of SAD your mood may well be brighter and more upbeat than usual. There are plans afoot, and things to look forward to! On a practical level, new banking routines should start working for you and will instil a new degree of confidence.

21ST MAY - 20TH JUNE

• FASHION FOCUS - Get your coat, you've pulled • TRIED AND TESTED - Sort out those blemishes!

Many of September’s concerns carry on into October in the sense that while there is an exciting romantic energy for some, parents of teenage children may continue to feel a degree of concern for their offspring. Some awkward choices in connection with jobs will need to be made around the 22nd, but overall the financial outlook is stable.

CANCER

21ST JUNE - 22ND JULY

Some legal aspects or inner feelings of injustice begin to be mitigated and there is a new wave of energy filtering in from the 13th or 14th onwards. Health issues should be improving, with some good news coming your way during the third week. Finances improve towards the end of the month, and a sum of money that has been owed to you will now be paid.

Hard work brings high reward! This philosophy can be applied to the business and professional aspects of your life and also to any romantic and sexual agendas. Property is an open subject for discussion and even overseas investments will be relevant for some. Financial security is the bedrock for emotional security, and progress will be made.

VIRGO

of the sign between 30 and 45 should be feeling these emotions in a particularly strong way. Travel aspects auger well, and although it’s a bit late for summer holidays, there will be a few nights spent in nice hotels; this coincides with some major boost in your social life, and although it may be a bit of a cliché, new friends and new faces give you a boost and provide some much needed laughter.

SCORPIO

23RD OCTOBER - 21ST NOVEMBER

This is one of those months when you seem to benefit from the best of both worlds. Romance and emotional relationships bring some extra quality of delight and excitement, while at the same time there is some change and improvement in all things connected with work and careers. In any decisions of choices, go with gut feelings and trust your intuition.

SAGITTARIUS

22ND NOVEMBER - 21ST DECEMBER

As is frequently the case these days, the events of the month are dominated by your concern for the welfare of other people. This is both inevitable and commendable, but you must not lose sight of the fact that there are other things in life that need some of your time and attention. You are not totally defined by your sense of familial duty and loyalty.

CAPRICORN 22ND DEC - 19TH JAN

A note of caution. This is not the best of times to be impulsive or to go off halfcocked in pursuit of principles or high ideals. You need to be practical and pragmatic, and even if you don’t like the sound of some of it, pay heed to the advice you may be given at this time – especially any kind of professional advice.

AQUARIUS

20TH JANUARY - 18TH FEBRUARY

Impulsive actions may raise a few eyebrows, but they bring a lot of fun as you break free from old restraints and start re-writing your own personal rule book. You go against type and expectation, and get a huge kick out of doing it. Need a new car? Fine, forget the Ford Fiesta and buy the Mazda MX5! A new suit? Well, what’s wrong with blue suede and flares?

PISCES

19TH FEBRUARY - 20TH MARCH

Some quiet thoughts. Is a current relationship something just for the here and now, or do you see it as something which could develop into a long term commitment? Your answer to this question will dictate your outlook and attitude over the next few weeks, and you need to be careful not to rock the boat while you’re making up your mind.

23RD AUGUST - 22ND SEPTEMBER

Someone else’s problems or misfortune will slow you down and necessitate a change of plans, especially in connection with work. In an odd way, this could be to your advantage if it makes you look at other pathways forwards. Business meetings and deals made around the 16-17 will have some long term beneficial effect.

My 15 year old son is stealing from me. I’ve noticed jewellery going missing, and even left cash out as a trap - it always disappears. I don't want to report my son to the police, and I'm avoiding confrontation because I think I will find it so upsetting. My husband thinks we should confront him and make sure he doesn't do it again, I’m just scared of the outcome. If he denies it, where do we go from there? S, Dringhouses

THIEF CLOSE TO HOME

When it gets to the point where your son is stealing from you, I have to wonder if it would actually be possible to discipline him in a way that would have an impact. This is a serious crossed line and you need to make sure he realises that what he has done is awful, not just illegal but highly upsetting for you. I recommend a family meeting. Sit him down with your husband and explain that you know what has been going on, and find out why he has been doing it. Where has the jewellery gone? He's not old enough to pawn it off himself, so there could be others involved. If he wants money to do things with his friends, he will have to get a part time job like the rest of functioning society. Make sure there is a clear penalty for what he has done, maybe a couple of weeks grounding, having to pay the money back through work in the home or a formal apology. This needs nipping in the bud, I hope you get to the bottom of this. Do not bury your head in the sand.

Hi Daphne, I feel like my fiancés mum will never accept me. He was assigned as ‘man of the house’ after his dad left at a young age and when he came to move out himself, his mum was openly resentful towards us. Since then I feel that she has always blamed me for everything and I will never be good enough as I 'took her boy away’. She can be quite rude and patronising towards me and interferes in our relationship. He always takes her side when I’m upset about something hurtful she has done towards me. On top of all this, we’re due to get married, and she has previously fallen out with members of my side of the family - I’m worried about big dramas at our wedding. We already have separate birthday parties for our children to make sure she feels involved. I try to not say anything as it's his mum at the end of the day, but I can't help but feel like I'm second best. What can I do?

MOTHER IN LAW PROBS

A classic case of evil mother-in-law. It sounds like her rude and patronising communications are done under a veil that means your husband-to-be doesn't see them. Don't forget, she's his mother, so she knows how to hide her opinions from him, all the while making sure you know she doesn't think you’re good enough, you devil woman, you. There’s no point trying to be friends with her, understand her frustrations that you’ve got the man of her house, but realise it’s not your fault and there’s little you can do to make her feel better about it. This realisation in itself should feel somewhat freeing. There’s no harm in throwing a couple of patronising comments back at her either, maybe then she might lose her cool and your fiancee will see that she’s not as much of a victim as she makes out. Good luck, get a thick skin for your wedding and reply in the most sickly sweet manner you can muster to any derogatory comments. The nicer you are to her the more rubbish she will feel. Normal service can resume after your big day!

My boyfriend openly acknowledges other women’s attractiveness in front of me. It happens all the time when we’re out and he can be pretty crude with it. I usually agree with him and chuckle, but deep down it makes me feel rubbish about myself, he never offers me the same affirmation. Should I tell him and risk coming across as needy? Anon

WANDERING EYE

Yes, absolutely. He shouldn’t make you feel like you're being ‘needy’ either. It’s totally ok to ask him to tone down the crude comments, and offer you a little more affirmation on a day to day basis. This sounds like a problem that can definitely be solved, as long as he is sympathetic to your perfectly valid and normal needs. The best time to deal with this is when he offends; the next time he makes a comment, mention that although you can acknowledge the lady across the road’s fabulous body shape, you would, in fact, like him to tone it down as it makes you feel a little bit rubbish about yourself. A chilled out reaction could make the world of difference. If he still does it after this, DUMP HIM. He is not worth it.

THE PERFECT FAMILY PAD

We can’t confirm the existence of ghosts, but we are sure that your garden will be visited by tiny ghouls this month... demanding sweets. Here are some ideas to spookify your garden this Halloween.

BURIED ALIVE BLINKING SKELETON GARDEN STAKES Nothing says 'welcome kids' like a skeleton crawling out of the ground with red glowing eyes. You can arrange it anywhere in the garden you like as all the parts have their own stakes. Joy. n £14.99 from www.lights4fun.co.uk

DESIGN TOSCANO THE RAVEN'S PERCH WALL SCULPTURE The neighbours might have inflatable bats sellotaped to their front door, but you're a bit fancier than that, aren't you? This crushed stone sculpture is hand-painted and depicts a “classy” raven perching on a twig. Quoth the raven, NEVERMORE! n £28.99 from www.amazon.co.uk

What we say: Featuring sassy slogans such as: ‘Dream Slayer’ and ‘Goal Digger,’ the polite reminder that we have the same amount of hours in a day as Beyonce is a little daunting though. The candles come in some gorgeous scents too including: Mimosa and Mandarin, Coconut and Mango, Meditterranean Fig and Dark Amber. The office smells amazing. £12 | www.soyandjoy.co.uk

APOTHECARY CANDLES

There are four different scents available: Seagrass and Cucumber, Orange and Cinnamon, Lemon Verbena and Fig & Grape. What we say: We love the old school apothecary style jar, so much so, that we were a little hesitant to actually light the candle, but when we did, we weren’t dissapointed.

What we say: This super sweet candle has adorable love heart detailing in the wax and smells like sweet flowers. Burn time is slightly shorter than we hoped for, but for £6.99 we’re not complaining.

IN PURSUIT OF

perfect brows This month, I seriously upped my brow game with a little help from Karen Betts Professional... Here’s how I got on.

By Krystal Starkey Microblading is the latest offering from the ever changing beauty industry and Karen Betts is an expert in the field. The semi permanent tattooing process is done in fine strokes with a hand tool with tiny microbladesl to create a natural looking brow.

When I got the offer of a review I was nervous, it lasts for 12 - 18 months, and the concept of having my eyebrows tattooed felt scary. The clinic itself can be found in South Elmsall near Doncaster, parking is a little tight, but I swoop in on a space and head to the side door of the clinic. When I get inside it’s decorated immaculately, crushed velvet in neutral tones and a white, clinical feel reassures me. Karen arrives as I’m filling my form in, she greats me warmly and pulls out her camera for before and afters. I already have a reasonable amount of hair on my brows and tend to leave them naked for day to day, and draw them on boldly for nights out. As the numbing cream sets in, I mention this to Karen at the consultation and show her a picture, she smiles: “I’ve got it”, within 5 minutes she’s drawn on an immaculate shape that suits my face and trimmed my natural brows ready for the microblading. She mixes pigments together to suit my natural

colour, and warns me that the first few scratches, are the worst few scratches. The pain is totally bearable (if you're tough like me) it’s a light scratchy feel and after five minutes, I can't feel a thing and the only giveaway that I’m getting a tattoo is the gentle sound of the blade crossing my hairs. I keep my eyes shut throughout most of the procedure as I don't fancy seeing the blade, but I chat to Karen, and find out that she’s also the founder of HD Brows, that the Karen Betts clinic offers training in permanent cosmetics and there are also clinics in Cheshire and Harley Street. Before I know it, Karen has finished my new brows, and sits me up to double check that they're perfect. Spoiler alert: They are perfect. The initial colour is around 30% darker than it will heal, but I love the shape and it makes me look like I’ve made an effort, despite having zero make-up on. Waking up with imaccualte brows has been liberating, it’s shaved minutes off my make up routine and I’m always pleasantly surprised when I look in the mirror. All that’s left now is my follow up appointment, people are advised to book 4-12 weeks after your first treatment to add more pigment to the brow area after healing.

Issue 50 - October

Curious Roots By Heather Elvidge Glorious autumn colour, dry leaves in heaps, blazing sunsets — yes, October really can be the Golden Month. It can also be mild, dingy and damp. If so, yellow and brown will be autumn’s colours, because fiery red leaves need chilly nights and sunny days. On mild evenings bats flit in the twilight, snapping up flying insects. Linked today with Halloween, witches and vampires, by the month’s end real-life bats will be hibernating in a cool building, cave or hollow tree. A staple of old horror soundtracks is the call of the tawny owl. This shy, nocturnal hunter is s e l d o m seen, but its classic hoohoo-whoo travels well in the darkness. The female’s call is a sharp, kee-wick: the traditional to-whit, to-whoo is a female and male calling to each other. Owls used to be feared as birds of ill omen. In fact any creature that favoured darkness was reckoned to belong to the Dark Side. Even a hedgehog, hunting beetles by night, could be the animal “familiar” of a witch. We may glimpse a witch at Halloween, riding the air to meet her weird sisters on a seashore, lonely moor, or old burial mound. In her long black skirt, shawl and brimmed hat, she looks like a Jacobean countrywoman. But the besom used to sweep her earth floor has a secret life, and there’s more than just stew in the cauldron that hangs in her hearth. While this is just a bit of fun to us, ill-wishing, shape-changing and witchcraft used to be deadly serious matters. In 1652 a Scarborough woman was tried as a witch. John and Ann Allen’s daughter said a woman had given her a funny look while they were at the fair. Soon after, the little girl began to suffer fits. Suspecting the evil eye, the Allens consulted Elizabeth Hodgson, who was thought able to lift the spell. Elizabeth confirmed their fears. She even named the witch — Ann Marchant. Anne was arrested and searched for witch-marks. One was found, a large blue lump on her waist. In some counties, this would have been enough to convict her. However the North Riding justices were not convinced that Anne had made the child ill. Anne was lucky; if found guilty she could have been hung. Elizabeth Hodgson was not at the trial, and no wonder — casting a counter-spell, even to help someone, was also considered witchcraft. Two Pocklington witches were not so fortunate. In 1631, Old Wife Green was burnt in the marketplace by an angry mob; twelve years later Petronel Haxley was tried for

witchcraft and hung. The harsh witchcraft laws, introduced in the reign of James I, were repealed in 1736, yet that didn’t stop people believing in witches or magic. In nineteenth-century Scarborough, Jane Nicholson was much feared. Jane’s mother, a member of a strange religious sect, believed her child would be a great religious leader. Instead, Jane grew into a sinister woman. Fishermen who met her on the way to the harbour would return home, certain that Jane had wished ill on them and their boats. Filey people had special reason to fear their local witch, Milcha Lawrence. Every year she kept the vigil of St Mark’s Eve, sitting in the porch of St Oswald’s c h u r c h . Everyone knew that on the night of April 24 the wraiths of those due to die that year would appear, and Milcha would be taking note. Hinting at her knowledge of “who was to go” made people quite generous with cups of tea and small gifts. It seems that witches and their neighbours had a complicated relationship. While people feared the witch’s powers, they also took care not to offend her. Also, some witches were helpful. In the days of sail, Yorkshire fishermen bought winds from witches, in the form of a cord with four magical knots in it. When the boat was becalmed, you undid one knot and a breeze sprung up. Undo all four and you’d be swept away in a gale. If they were really in trouble a victim might turn to a Wise Woman or Wise Man. In Victoria’s day every town and village was said to have one. A kind of magical private investigator with a shrewd grasp of human nature, they could be hired to use their talents against evildoers. Clad in a long robe and surrounded by old books, a globe, skulls and mysterious preparations, they treated sickness, told fortunes, or cast love-spells. An important skill was finding stolen property. It was sometimes enough to say that the Wise Man was about to be consulted, and the stolen item would be promptly returned. These things happened not so very long ago. Folk who died in the 1940s could remember their local witch, Nanny Pierson of Goathland, and Scarborough’s wise man, whose name alas they’d forgotten. October ends in mists, fallen leaves, and an explosion of pumpkins. On the 29th the clocks go back. Twilight is dramatic at this time, when the colour of the heavens can stir the emotions. So don’t miss the beauty of the violet hour, when day gives way to the nighttime folk.

Muck & Magic

Dahlia Heaven! by Sheila Johnson

As the garden plants in the muck and magic garden are succumbing under the seemingly incessant rain, we are always looking for plants that will brighten up a dull day. Also, every gardener wants to see colour and flower in the garden for as long as possible and before the dark days of winter set in. So October arrives with some optimism as it is show business time in the dahlia border. There are no flowers more extravagant or invaluable at this time of the year. Dahlias are relatively easy to grow provided you pay attention to staking at the beginning of the season, then tie in and dead head on a regular basis. The Muck and Magic team are frequently asked if its really necessary to lift dahlias for the winter. The answer is a quite simple yes! Don't chance your prize blooms in the ground over winter as if the frost doesn't get them, the wet will! Much better to lift and store in a dry frost free place. Or if you are growing your dahlias in large pots, just lift the pot into a frost free garage or green house. Last week visitors to the Harrogate Autumn Flower Show were dazzled by the displays of blooms on show in the flower halls. Gigantic marrows, onions and cabbages jostled for space alongside superb lilies and late flowering perennials. It was also an opportunity to browse the individual society

stands and try to learn a little more about growing specific plants such roses, daffodils, begonias and streptocarpus. So many plants and so little time. For me the stars of the show were the dahlias and I happily spent a lot of time just wandering through t h e beautiful blooms a n d admiring the skill that has gone into producing such a lovely show. As ever in gardening, there is always more to learn so my objective for next season is to gen up on this lovely group of plants and learn a bit more about what it takes to earn honours on the show bench. Of course, the weather always plays a part in garden planning and the show organisers were hoping for a dry sunny weekend. However, whatever the weather, the show must go on and this is the title of the next talk at Muck and Magic Garden Club on Monday October 9th. Nick Smith, Director of Harrogate Flower Shows, will be talking to the group about the trials and tribulations of staging two of the foremost flower shows in the country at Harrogate in Spring and autumn. Come along and listen to back stage secrets about how the shows are put together whatever the weather. Meeting starts at 7pm at Ebenezer Church Hall, Columbus Ravine and everyone is welcome.

Scarborough Strata

Fossil walk season By Roger Osborne What is the question I get asked most often when I give talks on local geology? Any guesses? Perhaps: ‘Why are there fossil seashells on the tops of hills?’ or ‘Does fracking pollute underground water?’ or ‘Is Whitby jet only found in Whitby?’ Well, I get all these but the runaway winner is ‘What does Dogger mean, and is it the same as Dogger Bank?’ This comes up because the Dogger is a crucial marker bed along most of the Yorkshire coast – so I mention it a lot in my talks. What do I mean by ‘marker bed’? There’s no strict definition but the Dogger is a thin (from 1 to 12 metres thick) layer of very distinctive rock that marks the boundary between the Lower and Middle Jurassic strata. It is visible along the coast from just north of Runswick Bay, south as far as Saltwick. All the dales in the North York Moors are cut through a layer of hard Middle Jurassic

sand and gritstone into the soft shales of the Lower Jurassic beneath. This change shows up brilliantly in every dale from Westerdale to Glaisdale and Bilsdale to Farndale. Why? Because the Middle Jurassic rock is infertile and is therefore covered in heather moorland, while the Lower Jurassic supports pasture. And the Dogger marks the boundary, visible as a straight line between moorland and green pasture. The Dogger is rich in iron, particularly at Rosedale where it was heavily mined on both sides of the dale. Look closely and you’ll see how the old mine workings are at the boundary between moorland and fields. So what does Dogger mean? It seems that Dogger Bank is named after the Dutch name for a two-masted cod-fishing boat, while ‘dogger’ is a general English word for, well, a lump. So because our marker bed is full of lumps it is called the Dogger.

Say I do... at The Mayfield By Krystal Starkey FOR LOVED up couples looking to tie the knot in Scarborough, there will be plenty of ideas, inspiration and suppliers at the Mayfield Hotel’s Wedding Fair on Wednesday 18 October. Guests will receive goodie bags, bubbles and nibbles on arrival and will go on to peruse local wedding suppliers and the venue itself. The event is set to be bigger and better than before. Stall holders will include photographers, florists, sweet bars, ice cream connoisseurs, transport and of course, bridal and hat boutiques.

For brides to be, wedding fayres are the best way to compose ideas and inspiration as well as secure the suppliers they want for their big day. Guests can also look forward to seeing floral arrangements being made, nibbles throughout the evening and a fashion show. Don't forget to take your notebook, a friend or family member to bounce ideas off and a generous size bag: you never know when free goodies will be given out. It's a good idea to bring along a diary to take down contacts and organise appointments in the future. The event will run from 5pm – 8pm on October 18. For more information contact Lucy on 01723 343716

2018 TRENDS

The wedding industry follows closely behind the fashion industry with its ever-changing trends. If you’re looking for some fresh ideas, read on.

ALTERNATIVE FOOD. Couples are constantly looking out for new ways to express their individuality. This year there’s bets on it being the food that gets a shake up. Straying from a traditional three course meal and opting for a favourite alternative such as pizza, mexican or snacks, not only saves money but gives weddings a much more laid back vibe.

CUTTING THAT GUEST LIST. Your second cousin twice removed who swore at you when you were ten? Strike them off. That ‘pal’ who turns up occasionally on nights out and never buys a round? Strike. Bigger isn’t always better. When you take the plunge and cut your guest list - there’s more money to spend on people you really love.

UP IN LIGHTS. Neon lights have been making waves in the interior design world this year, and it won’t be long before they begin creeping into super trendy weddings too. Whether it’s a custom made heart with your collective names in it or a rented love sign, be sure to get your name up in lights. CAPE-ABLE. Supergirl eat-yourheart-out. Capes were seen all over the catwalks for spring summer 2018. Look to designers such as Naama Anat, Phase Eight, Temperley London and BHLDN. Not

only do they make you look fabulous, they’ll keep you warm for the chilly spring days and make for incredible twirly, cape flowing in the wind wedding photos. Sigh. WHIMSICAL WONDER. Sheer, floral and floaty is dominating the bridal fashion shops. Look for ornate hair accessories with floral detailing and lace, flowing dresses. They won’t be hard to find.

Wapentake and tumuli Local artist Dav White talks about the fascinating world of history, art and mythology

Old paths are rifts in time Words, map and recent photos by Dav White Tumuli, barrows and howes are ancient burial mounds which can be found throughout Britain and Europe. Tumulus is Latin for mound or small hill. It also means swell, like the swell of an inflated tummy (tum-ulus). Those interred in the burial mounds were often placed in the foetal position, like a baby within the pregnant swell of a belly. Some tumuli contained cremation urns, often with special items or the grave goods of the deceased interred alongside them. Others, when opened up, were empty and so the function of tumuli has long been argued over. The popular ancient pastime of excavating tumuli soon fell out of favour when the plundering of barrows for treasure often didn't produce anything but ash and broken pottery. Most tumuli in our vicinity have either been excavated or ploughed flat. Sadly, there is little evidence that any of the tumuli were ever there, and you only come across them when looking through old maps. Historian Thomas Hinderwell speculated that the tumuli called the Wheatcroft Barrow Group, that were in the grounds of Scarborough College, were part of a boundary line that formed part of the town’s ancient military defences that ran along the back of Oliver’s Mount. He explained that these military defences were the origin of the area’s name - Weaponness, adding: “This may have been a place for contest”. The area could have been an important meeting place to settle disputes, like a wapentake, a word pertaining to the subdivision of some northern counties but originally meaning a place of assembly or an old council. This makes Oliver’s Mount a particularly meaningful place to have the war memorial. The Wheatcroft Barrow Group must have been an imposing structure on the Scarborough landscape as a lithograph celebrating the

opening of this tumulus was made by the artist James Basire in 1835. The drawing and the grave goods taken from the barrows are displayed in the Rotunda Museum. The 2005 book Prehistoric Rock Art, by Paul Brown and Graeme Chappell, states: “The extension to a cricket pitch in the grounds of Scarborough College led to the removal of a burial mound on the site. The mound was found to cover three cists. One had previously been opened in 1835. Two cup marked stones were found near this earlier excavation, one being identified as the covering stone from the cist. The current location of these stones is unknown”. Wheatcroft, originally Whitecroft after White Nab, was part of the most southerly aspect of the parliamentary and municipal boundary of Scarborough, around the time the Wheatcroft barrow was opened. Tumuli across Britain, as well as being ancient meeting places, also became natural boundary markers. The parliamentary and municipal boundary is lined with tumuli and follows two natural water courses. Starting in the north at Peasholm Gap, the boundary follows Peasholm beck to its spring head a few miles inland, to Stepney Hill. In his 1855 book, the antiquarian Robert Knox described military defences at Peasholm Gap and speculated that the old defences are the reason for the shape and the flat top of Bunker Hill, the little hill in Peasholm Park that now has the pagoda. The boundary follows the beck up the glen past two tumuli flanking the left and right of the glen, now destroyed due to housing development. The boundary goes up into the Woodlands ward and then up to the spring head near the top of Stepney Road. It then runs along a line of tumuli along Falsgrave Moor to Edge Dell and cuts around the back of Oliver’s Mount, past another group of tumuli to the fields of High Eastfield and High Deepdale. Running close to an old bridleway, it then traces the beck at Deepdale past Knox Hill

Ba’al Hill tumulus near Wold Newton through Wheatcroft following the beck to White Nab on the cliff. Twelve to 15 tumuli are dotted along the boundary line from Peasholm to Wheatcroft. On Ordnance Survey maps, the Wheatcroft Barrow Group line up nicely with Sharp Howe, another group of tumuli opposite the Carrs up on the brow of the Wolds. Extending a straight line on a map, we can see an older history possibly dating back before the boundary and ancient military lines were established. The Wheatcroft barrow and Sharp Howe line up with two other tumuli along the road from Flixton to Wold Newton. They line up straight with St James’s Church in Fordon and Ba’al Hill, a tumulus outside Wold Newton. The phenomenon where a straight line connects ancient sites became known as a ley. Alfred Watkins coined the term ley in 1921 when he noticed that lots of ancient sites lined up in straight lines. He established a group called the Old Straight Track Club who explored the countryside looking for leys and the features in the landscape that connected them. The pastime became popular as they discovered, through first-hand observation, ancient objects and landscape features that were not recorded on Ordnance Survey maps. Ley hunting became more popular in the 1960s with the new-age and hippy culture taking an interest. The term ley evolved into ley line,

which we’re more familiar with today. According to the rules set out by Watkins, a ley line is an old straight track connecting natural features in the landscape with shrines, mounds, stones, Roman, pagan and Christian sites and buildings. He developed a points system. Mounds, stones, beacons, circular moats, castles and traditional wells got one point. Churches, ancient crossroads and road alignments got three quarters of a point. Fords, clumps of trees, camps, ponds and single trees (if ancient and named) got half a point. Watkins felt a ley would score over five points and therefore suggest it to be an ancient track. “One need not be a mystic to accept that old paths are linear only in the simple sense of the word. They are rifts in time. When walking such paths you might walk up and disturb strange pasts”, according to author Robert MacFarlane. Davwhiteart.com

Whilst only a monthly publication, Scarborough Review goes from strength to strength and contains an increasing number and wider range of articles, information and interesting items. Its new website should expand its coverage. Whilst writing, I wish to thank you for your article, Ken finally gets it all down on paper, which appears on page 16 of your September issue. Ken, at 87 years of age, was delighted to see his name in print following our recent publication of his book, Recollections, Around the World in 50 Years, and your interest in approaching him for his story.

YORK PATH IS ‘A FREEFOR-ALL’ Dear editor Following your article in the latest Scarborough Review, our walking club (Yorkshire Coast LongDistance Walkers Association) are certainly against the cinder-track plans. We recently did a walk on an old railway track in the York area where Sustrans had been involved and found that there are no designated areas for walkers. It was a free-for-all and most of the cyclists used it as a race track and had no consideration for walkers. Malcolm Road

Stephenson, Scalby

CINDER TRACK DETERIORATED

HAS

Dear editor My husband (80 years) and I have visited Scarborough every year since our retirement and have cycled the cinder track (Scarborough Review, September) between the resort and Whitby. In the last two years, we have been unable to complete it due to the deteriorating condition of the surface. We would like to see the track improved. Our local trail of Dunford Bridge to Wortley has been resurfaced and is now very popular with, as far as we can see, few of the problems the campaign is worried about. The removal of some of the common trees has resulted in a proliferation of wild flowers along the trail.

It is now multi-purpose, not only for cyclists but also for mobility scooters, wheelchair users and others with disabilities as well as walkers and horse riders.

A boost for the tourism of each area it passes through.

High-speed riders do not use these tracks as there are too many loose dogs, children on bikes and shoppers.

Karen Moran, Limestone Road

Sustrans seems to be a very responsible charity. I think it will be great help to tourism in the area if it goes ahead. Betty Devaney, Fearnley Lane

SUSTRANS PLAN BOOST TOURISM

WILL

Dear editor I think the Sustrans plan looks carefully done from all aspects. Not sure I know enough about the environmental aspects but on the surface it looks as if they have taken a thorough look at it. From a cyclist’s perspective, it’s great to have a good surface to ride on. From a granny’s perspective, it’s great for young children to learn to ride on and for parents with buggies to take their children and have a good surface to push on. Sustrans are a good organisation who do maintain their routes. I like the idea of promoting healthy lifestyles especially with young families and a chance for families to walk safely into the countryside. Older people who wish to continue cycling will find it safer to ride and walk on than on the busy roads. A safer route will encourage more walkers too.

New housing developments could be linked to encourage all people to walk more to school, shops, etc.

WHOLEHEARTED SUPPORT FOR CINDER TRACK UPGRADE Dear editor As an experienced cyclist of well over 30 years, and one who has had considerable experience using the facilities provided by Sustrans, I wholeheartedly support the upgrade of this dilapidated facility. At present the track is in a shocking state, often only suitable for mountain bikes. The surface frequently gets washed away by heavy rain, leaving it unsuitable for everyone but the lion-hearted.

I admit a vested interest, being half of the partnership - the other half is Ren Yaldren - which runs the tiny Farthings Publishing business in the town. We started Farthings to get our own books into print and I and am very grateful for the publicity you have given to Ken and, in past issues, to the Old Scarborians’ Association and the late Harry Gallon. I gather the work of other local authors could be highlighted in coming issues of the Review. Publicity for a new author gives a boost of oxygen and a glow of satisfaction - almost equal to that they receive when the first proof copy of their book drops through their letterbox onto their door mat. It means a great deal to them to receive a little recognition after many hours of slog and grind, researching, writing and preparing their books; then going through the whole publishing process. Many thanks for your interest and for supporting local authors.

Sustrans do a fantastic job of renewing and maintaining cycling tracks, which are also open to walkers and horse riders (not many horses as I recall). This would be a brilliant development for our area.

Long live Scarborough Review!

As regards the increased usage, I would personally welcome it as I hold a very firm

PARKING PROBLEMS

METER

Dear editor I got soaked and extremely frustrated the other day when I tried to use one of the council’s parking meters on the seafront in Scarborough. My cousin Marian from Huddersfield rang to say she and Jack were staying in Cayton Bay and could we meet. I suggested Watermark cafe at 12 and texted the postcode. But she’s a bit mutton Geoff and misheard me and they went to the waterpark (Alpamare) despite it having a different postcode. When we realised the mistake, I met them up there, at the new pub, and gave them a lift down to Watermark. They had parked on Marine Drive. It was pouring with rain so I decided to just pay, against my tight-fisted instincts. I normally park at the top, by the Clifton, and walk down the path. I didn’t have any change and the machine wouldn’t take cards so I cadged £3 off Marian. But the machine wouldn’t accept the £2 coin. So I tried to pay by phone and read my car reg to a computer which read it back as another reg, even though I spoke as clearly as possible. I had elocution lessons as a boy. I was getting more and more frustrated so drove and parked at the bottom of Chain Hill. It took me 10 minutes to walk to Watermark, in driving rain, with a brolly. Then, to cap it all, Marian and Jack had gone to sit in their car as the café had been full when they went in, which confused me when I arrived. Sorry to bang on, but it really wound me up that the parking meter wouldn’t take plastic, it wouldn’t accept £2 coins and the robot in the Town Hall couldn’t understand what I was saying when I read out my car reg. I’m very disgusted and angry. Something ought to be done. Arthur Jenkinson, Seamer Road * Editor’s note: several expletives had to be removed from this letter.

Saint Etienne video Gardeners grow crops, shot in Scarborough blooms and cash

by Dave Barry Diving Belles

by Dave Barry A JAUNTY and lighthearted video for indiedance band Saint Etienne’s new single was shot in Scarborough. Its director, Esther Johnson, chose the town “because many of the locations and features I loved there as a child are still intact: the ice-cream parlours, the funicular railway, the (now derelict) Futurist theatre, the signs. “These features link with another of my loves as a filmmaker: French New Wave cinema of the late 1950s and 1960s. The song’s immediacy and in-the-moment-ness suggested that the video’s story should take place in a single day. “The boy visits the girl from across the sea; they spend the day together; they part. The various recurring motifs were inspired partly by my own memories, partly by the New Wave and partly by the history and iconography of Saint Etienne”. The video was shot in August and the single, Dive, was released on 8 September. Johnson says: “Dive is such a summery song and when I first heard it I was reminded of days at the seaside, with fish and chips and milkshakes”.

In the video, a young woman clutching a red balloon on a string scampers around the seafront in search of her lover. She runs across the Spa footbridge, past the back of the Market Hall, down Blands Cliff and into the middle of the Aquarium Top roundabout. From there, she passes the Futurist before descending Blands Cliff again and heading along Sandside to embrace her paramour by the Tardis. After ice cream at the Harbour Bar, the couple, in striped tops, prance across the beach and take the cliff lift by the Spa, pausing for the woman to wave maritime flags spelling out the word Dive outside the old ramshackle changing rooms. They make sandcastles, blow bubbles and dash into the Spa Suncourt to play around with the deckchairs. The video ends with the woman imitating the Diving Belle on the lighthouse pier as she waves goodbye to her man, sailing away on the Regal Lady. n It can be seen on YouTube.

HUNDREDS of pounds in cash was handed out at Newby and Scalby in Bloom’s 10th annual Garden Gems presentation evening, at Wreyfield Drive Methodist Church. “The gardens this year were of exceptional quality and it was hard for the judges to pick the winners”, said spokesperson Zoe Groom. The bloom group works in partnership with Newby and Scalby Parish Council, which donated the main prize money of £300. In the retail business section, the joint winners were the Nags Head pub in Scalby, represented by Ian Hallyburton, and Proudfoot's in Newby, represented by Sharon McBean. The business premises award went to the Rambla nursing home, represented by Suzi Jones. In the residential garden category, Dot Clark had the best small one, Paul Gridley had the best medium-sized one and Margaret Lumby had the best large one. Rose Aldridge had the best baskets, pots, tubs and window boxes.

The Bloom group donated £150 for discretionary prizes. Rosemary Knight won an award for excellence in horticulture. An outstanding neighbourhood certificate went to the Joseph Rowntree Housing Trust at Danes Dyke and Ken Gill; Harvey and Julie McCarthy bagged the One to Watch certificate; Judy Woodroofe won the Good Life allotment award; Proudfoot's got an outstanding contribution certificate; and Sweet Peas, aka Scalby Toilets Trust, won a certificate for voluntary contribution to village life. Cllr Reg Towse, who chairs Newby and Scalby Parish Council, gave out the prizes.

Words and photo by Dave Barry THE YORKSHIRE Federation of Women’s Licensed Trade Association made its annual pilgrimage to Scarborough’s Royal Hotel. About 30 publicans had a conference, a business meeting to discuss their charitable work and a pyjama party. The number doubled for a banquet attended by the borough mayor and mayoress, Martin and Cherry Smith. Two events weren’t held at the Royal: a service at St Mary’s Church and a seafood buffet at the Newcastle Packet. This seafront pub is run by Kath Duffy,

president of Scarborough Ladies Auxiliary and a past-president of the Yorkshire federation. Besides Kath, other local members who took part in the four-day federation event were Mavis Shipley, Margaret Hogg and Pam Hamblin. Most of the delegates were from Yorkshire Scarborough, Leeds, Hull, Pontefract, York and Selby. But one or two others came from Durham and Kent. The president is Tracy Sanderson from Huddersfield and the secretary is Jackie Parker of North Frodingham, near Driffield.

Dana heading to Filey by Dave Barry DANA Scallon, who has had twin careers in pop and politics, can be seen at Filey Methodist Church on 16 November, at 7pm. As a petite teenager known simply as Dana, she won the Eurovision Song Contest in 1970 with All Kinds of Everything, a number 1 hit in the UK. She had two more top-10 hits in the UK with Please Tell Him I Said Hello (1975); and It’s Gonna be a Cold, Cold Christmas (1975). She entered politics in 1997, running unsuccessfully in the Irish presidential election, and was MEP for Connacht–Ulster from 1999-2004. As an independent candidate in the Irish 2011 presidential election, Scallon was eliminated on the first count. Now 66, she lives in County Galway. Her Filey show will consist of “music, chat, laughter and faith”, says Gerald Ingham, from the church. Afterwards, she will sign copies of her books and CDs.

Dana Scallon

Tickets cost £10, including refreshments (concessions £7.50, families 2+2 £20) and can be bought at the church on Saturday mornings.

Having fun at world’s biggest coffee morning Words and photo by Dave Barry The world’s biggest coffee morning raised £871 for charity in the Scarborough area this week. Macmillan’s 27th annual flagship fundraiser featured dozens of coffee mornings in Scarborough and nearby towns and villages, in public places and people’s homes. The charity’s local support group chose the Grand Hotel for its coffee morning. Joan Forbes, who chairs the group, was hoping to exceed the £800 raised at the Grand last year. The event was opened by magnificently whiskered town crier David Birdsall, who

was accompanied by his consort, Veronica Dickinson. Today (Friday 29 September) is the main day but some coffee mornings were held a day or two earlier. Every slice of cake eaten and cup of coffee poured has the power to help change lives for people living with cancer, says Joan. The world’s biggest coffee morning was observed in many places locally, including the café at Marks & Spencer in Scarborough, Dean’s Garden Centre, the Yew Tree café in Scalby, the home of Mandy Clarke at 53 Knipe Point Drive in Osgodby and, in Seamer, Rispin Couture and Memorial Hall.

‘Excellent response’ to Dial-a-Ride survey Walking Words and photo by Dave Barry SCARBOROUGH Dial-a-Ride took heart from an encouraging response to its annual passenger survey. “Once again, we had an excellent response”, says manager Julie Banks. Over two weeks, 164 questionnaires were randomly handed out and 130 returned – a rate of 79%. The idea was to make sure it is providing a service that suits passengers’ transport needs and identify any changes that were needed. Julie said: “91% said our service was excellent and 9% rated us as good”. The results showed that over half the passengers are over 80 and 10% are 25 or under, with the ratio of women to men increasing from 70 to 78%.

87% of respondents said they had a mobility problem and 92% do not own a car. When passengers were asked why they used Dial-a-Ride, the main reason was because of the door-to-door service (90%), followed by helpful staff (82%), reliability (80%) and affordability (79%). “It was interesting to see that 54% of people used Dial-a-Ride because they meet other people on the bus”, Julie said. “Despite having concessionary passes for use on bus services, half the passengers stated they had difficulty in using public transport. The lack of nearby bus routes (43%) was another reason buses are not a suitable option for many people. “Our service helps tackle loneliness and social isolation and keeps people independent,

which are important factors in supporting passengers’ health and well-being”. Some of the benefits of using Dial-a-Ride include ‘feeling less isolated’ (49%) and ‘making new friends’ (53%). Dial-a-Ride has not increased its fares for over five years, which is reflected in the fact that 79% say they think the service represents good value for money; many users have only basic pensions or benefits to live on. Julie said: “Our drivers and passenger escorts, most of whom are volunteers, are the real stars of the show and the high regard in which they are held by passengers, carers, parents and guardians is evident in the comments that respondents made”. * Dial-a-Ride needs more volunteer drivers. To apply, ring 354434.

THE SUCCESS and achievements of learners at a prominent Scarborough training company were celebrated at a ceremony at the Crown Spa Hotel. YH Training Services, based at Scarborough Training Centre in Falsgrave, holds a presentation evening every year. The aim is to celebrate and congratulate learners on their achievements and successes while on training programmes. Outstanding achievement awards were presented to learners who went above and beyond what was necessary while with YH Training. They showed their dedication and skills either in the workplace or classroom. An exceptional achievement award was given to a learner for hard work, perseverance and commitment to their qualification and future. The Paul Midgley award was presented

to a learner on an accountancy course for overcoming adversity and for dedication to the course. The evening’s presentations were divided into two categories: classroom-based and apprenticeships. The classroom-based presentations looked at Career Link at Christchurch House in Vernon Road, the Prince’s Trust, a military preparation course at the Army Reserve Centre in Coldyhill Lane, pre-apprenticeships, ICT, functional skills, maths and English. The apprenticeship presentations concerned business administration, ITQ, customer service, team leading, management and accountancy at three levels. Speeches were made by centre manager Nigel Simpson and the mayor, Cllr Martin Smith, before the individual qualifications, achievements and awards were made.

Congregation members gather at the grave (to order photos ring 353597)

Battle of Britain hero remembered Words and photos by Dave Barry A SCARBOROUGH flying officer was remembered at a solemn service marking the 77th anniversary of the Battle of Britain. William Coverley, who died in the battle, was baptised at St Columba’s Church, where the memorial service is held every year. He was killed while defending his country in aerial combat over Kent, in September 1940. He was 23. A half-written letter to his father, which he left when suddenly called to action, was kept by his sister, along with his medals and other artefacts. She was William’s only surviving descendant, says British Legion standard bearer Bill Parker, to whom she bequeathed the artefacts. Bill discovered William’s badly damaged grave in Dean Road cemetery a few years ago. The top

half of the headstone had broken off and was found a few yards away. It was repaired via the community payback scheme, which is gradually restoring every damaged grave in the large cemetery. Members of the Scarborough branch of the RAF Association take turns to wear William’s service medals. On the day of the church service, they were worn by Martin Drake, who chairs the Scarborough branch of the RAF Association. The service, conducted by Rev Ted Drayton, was attended by squadron leader Dave Pollock of RAF Flyingdales, John and Beryl Anderson of the British Legion, RAF veterans and the borough mayor and mayoress, Martin and Cherry Smith. Next year’s service will carry more significance as it will be during the RAF’s centenary year.

Filey’s invasion of the Westies WATCH out for dozens of West Highland terriers on Filey beach on 8 October. That’s when the town’s sixth biannual Westie walk takes place. Westie owners are invited to take their dogs to West avenue car park at noon for a walk down the Ravine to the beach. “People walk as far as they wish and then we go to the Belle Vue where we do stalls and raffles”, says organiser Maureen Dunn. “We ask each walker to donate £1 per dog and 50p per human”, Maureen says. The proceeds go to animal-rescue charities including Yorkshire Coast Rescue, Many Tears, West Yorkshire Animals in Need and one chosen by the Belle Vue.

Maureen has organised two Westie walks a year for three years so this will be the sixth. There is usually a bigger turnout for the first one of the year, in June. The first year’s walks raised about £500. Last year’s raised £1,200 and the walk in June this year raised £1,700. “We are getting bigger each time”, Maureen says. “I now have three admin helpers and we all work between walks to raise as much as we can. “We do a lot of begging to local businesses as we bring a lot of trade into Filey”, Maureen adds. “Lots of our walkers now stay the weekend or even week”. “We occasionally do tombolas in between and our last one at Blue Dolphin raised £235”.

Be a scientist and an artist at library fun palace

Jade’s big drawing wins £2,000 prize

by Dave Barry Scarborough and Filey libraries will be transformed into fun palaces on Saturday 7 October. Working with artists, dancers, musicians, museums, colleges and other creative people, they will offer a day of free arts, culture and sciences for everyone on the theme of ‘everyone an artist, everyone a scientist’. Fun palaces bring together art and science – but above all people – to work together, create together, have fun together. And, in so doing, strengthen communities from the grassroots up. Scarborough library will have artists, dancing, cardmaking, lego robot races, singers, yoga, knitting demonstrations, digital photograpy, sea shanty singers, zumba, a battle of the bands, Beach Hut Theatre, hair and makeup demonstations, face painting, coding and strictly ballroom. A spokesperson said: “This is the sort of event that shows libraries are at the heart of our communities, bringing together people of all ages from all walks of life”. Beach Hut Theatre’s time-travelling Pierrots Tom, Vik and Harriet - will take visitors on a fun-filled journey into the town’s past. Artistic director Alison Watt said: “You can

Pierrots on the beach a century ago see our plucky Pierrots explore the People’s Palace, Gala Land and many other local landmarks with daft jokes, madcap songs and silly antics. And there are donkeys!” The free show can be seen at 10am, 11am, noon and 1pm. Based on an idea by theatre director Joan Littlewood and architect Cedric Price, the first fun palaces took place in October 2014, when 138 venues, communities and groups created events. About 40,000 people took part in person while tens of thousands more engaged online. By 2016, 292 fun palaces across the world were made by 4,800 people with 124,000 taking part. n Website: www.funpalaces.co.uk.

Spa’s 15th annual jazz festival was the best so far Words and photos by Dave Barry Hundreds of jazz fans made Scarborough Spa’s 15th annual jazz festival an unmitigated success. The 650 weekend ticket holders were swelled up to 900 people at the most popular shows, said jubilant festival director Mike Gordon. “There was a tremendous atmosphere with great feedback from audiences and wonderful comments from the performers, who always feel very well supported by the festival team and the Spa staff”, Mike said. “The staff are really on the ball and we have an excellent sound and lighting crew”. Mike said he had thought that last year’s festival had been the best yet, but that this year’s had surpassed it.

“Everyone seemed very happy”, he added. In a festival coup, Scarborough was the first port of call for Mike Gibbs’ UK tour celebrating his 80th birthday. Mike joined the 17-piece Hans Koller band, incorporating some of the UK’s finest players, the day before his big day. The headliners were complemented by a slew of free performances including Mister Tooley’s Gospel Breakfast in the Suncourt, in warm sunshine. In his third year at the festival, former civil servant Paul Toole blew off the previous night's jazz cobwebs with a foot-tapping collection of gospel in many forms. The festival has been nominated for a Parliamentary award as jazz venue of the year. The result will be announced on 12 October.

Jade used charcoal provided by David and Lynn Hutchinson of the Yorkshire Charcoal Company, based near Wykeham. “The Hutchinsons have been inspirational, offering their wisdom freely about the wider benefits of carbon and charcoal, and not least providing exquisite lengths of charcoal for my use in the drawing installations”.

Blues festival nearly sold out BY THE time the Review went to press, only a few dozen tickets for the 2018 Top Secret blues festival remained unsold. This year’s festival sold out months in advance and next year’s is selling even faster, says organiser Mark Horsley. With minimal advertising, no public funding, no large-scale sponsorship and a reputation spread largely by word of mouth, this intimate festival has gradually become one of the worst-kept secrets in UK blues. Compered by Rich Adams, it will be at the Spa Ocean Room from 16–18 March. On the programme are Denmark’s Thorbjorn Risager and the Black Tornado, the Climax Blues Band, Stevie Nimmo, Kyla Brox, Greg Coulson, the Stumble, Elles Bailey, Bronwynne Brent, Dale Storr, Catfish, the Spikedrivers, the Mighty Bosscats, David Migden and the Twisted Roots, the Backwater Roll Blues Band, Mat Walklate & Paulo Fuschi, Chris James & Martin Fletcher, Midnite Johnny, Joni Fuller, Richard Townend, Mumbo Jumbo, Jen Low and Stoney Broke. Tickets cost £98 plus a booking fee, by phone (821888) or online at www.scarboroughspa. co.uk.

MUSIC NIBS EXPECT beautiful music and surprises when Bridget Cousins, Phil Bennett and friends perform at the Friends Meeting House on 13 October, at 7pm. Bridget and Phil play an eclectic range of music from ancient Irish harp tunes to contemporary songs and their own compositions, on harp, guitar, viola and vocals. Tickets cost £5. The proceeds will be split between the venue and Freedom from Torture, a charity which provides therapeutic care for survivors of torture. SKANDALLESS are playing at the We Shall Overcome gig at the Met in Whitby on 6 October. They are an acoustic foursome fashioned out of the Skandals ska band, whose next gigs are at the George Hotel in Whitby (3 Nov), the Newcastle Packet in Scarborough (11 Nov) and Whitby Way (1 Dec).

Latest name for new band AT THE premature AGM of the Hemma Ridge Rowdy Boys, it was decided to change the band name to the Juketones. “This was achieved without any fighting and no furniture got broken”, confides Rich ‘Redeye’ Hodgson, who plays bog-standard guitar, baritone guitar and mandolinola. Rich says the following names were rejected due to possible lawsuits: the Slightly Uneasy Riders, the Earl Grey Whistle Test and Tofu Fighters. The Juketones play their first and possibly only gig under that name at Hackness village hall on 27 October. Entry costs £6, payable on the door, and should be reserved by emailing Rich at mr.redeye@ talktalk.net or ringing him on 07831 107104. The proceeds will go to Cancer Research UK. The other band members are John Leaf on guitar, lap steel and uke; Johnny Hesp on bass and guitar; Al Lawrence on harmonica and guitar; and Pete Jackson on drums and counting. They all sing a bit too. “That’s three Railway Hobos, one Tramp from Hamps and a bloke that used to live in Texas”, says Rich, referring to other bands they have been in.

FRENCH FILM KICKS OFF NEW FILM SEASON by Dave Barry A FRENCH comedy / drama with hints of All Creatures Great and Small is the opening gambit in Scarborough Film Society’s new season. Irreplaceable is about a countryside doctor who finds out he is suffering from cancer and is forced to take on a younger female assistant while he has chemo. The medic is played by François Cluzet, sporting CDH (conspicuously dyed hair) and looking a lot like a younger Dustin Hoffman. It can be seen at the society’s new home, St Mary's Parish House in Castle Road, on Monday 9 October, at 7.30pm. Guy Smith, who runs the society, says: “It's a new venue and change of evening and guest membership remains at only £5 per person. Parking is free at the nearby Friars Way and Castle Road council carparks after 6pm which is an advantage for attendees who struggled to park at the previous venue”. The other films are The Unknown Girl (23 Oct), The Journey (6 Nov), Julieta (20 Nov),

Lion (4 Dec), Hunt for the Wilderpeople (18 Dec), The Fencer (8 Jan), The Salesman (22 Jan), Denial (5 Feb), Hidden Figures (19 Feb), Their Finest (5 Mar), Graduation (19 Mar), Elle (9 Apr), Twentieth Century Women

(23 Apr), Land of Mine (7 May) and A Man Called Ove (21 May). A season ticket costs £45 (seniors £40, students £25) or £30 for eight.

G&S spoof Ruddigore at YMCA Scalby folk weekend raises £1,961 Words and photo by Dave Barry

A Goth rendition of Gilbert & Sullivan’s rarely-performed Ruddigore can be seen at Scarborough’s YMCA Theatre. The production is set in a North Yorkshire seaside town celebrating its Goth weekend. Billed as “a most comically Gothic musical melodrama”, it contains an ancient curse suffered by the local baronets of Ruddigore, whose ancestor burned a witch at the stake. Comic mayhem ensues, as the local beauty has to choose between a wealthy farmer and a dashing sailor, with the encouragement of a hen party. Then there’s a wicked baronet, a faithful retainer, a clairvoyant and a woman run mad from rejected love. The show is produced by Tim Tubbs’ UK Foundation for Dance, in association with the YMCA-based Rowlies Acadamy of Dance and Bill Scott’s Sandside Players, whose wellreceived productions of Trial by Jury in 2015 and The Mikado in 2016 established it as Scarborough’s unofficial Gilbert & Sullivan society. Ruddigore, with a cast of 18, can be seen

at 7.30pm on Friday 29 and Saturday 30 September and at 3pm on Sunday 1 October. Tickets cost £12 (seniors £10, under-18s £5, groups - one free with every 10 purchased). They can be booked by ringing 506750 or online at www.ymcascarborough.uk.

A folk weekend in Scalby raised £1,961 for Martin House children’s hospice. It was so successful that organisers Dave Bell and Pete Everitt plan to repeat it next year. No charge was made for admission to the event, staged in two marquees at the back of the Nags Head pub. The money was raised through collections, raffles, the sale of Martin House Christmas cards and a handsome £500 donation from AB Graphics of Eastfield. Headliner Edwina Hayes enjoyed it so much she pledged to return next year. A few days later, a collection at Sainsbury’s raised £626 for the same charity. On behalf of Scarborough Friends of Martin House, Clive Townsend said he was extremely grateful to all concerned. * The Nags Head has an open folk session on Saturdays, from 2-5pm, hosted by Pete Everitt and Dave Bell; and an open-mic session on Thursday evenings.

Nina at the helm NINA PICKUP will lead Scarborough Art Society’s annual critique session on 4 October. It will be “a warm and encouraging experience because Nina is known for her empathic positive approach when teaching”, according to press officer Barrie Petterson. Nina has been a professional artist for 18 years and has a studio and gallery in the old town. She recently taught watercolour painting on cruise ships. Members and guests are invited to take one or two paintings – which need not be finished and can be in any medium. Guests pay £3 admission to Queen Street Methodist hall in time for a 7pm start. Refreshments will be served. It is the society’s last demonstration session of the year.

New class at Gallows Close A NEW class for vulnerable adults with disabilities has started at the Gallows Close Centre children’s services charity in Barrowcliff. Featuring crafts, games and socialising, it replaces a similar one run by outside volunteers who are no longer in a position to continue. “We have managed to raise some funding in order for us to keep it going”, says the centre’s development worker Kimmie Avison. The class is called Steps 2 @ Gallows and runs on Thursdays, from 9.30am to 2.30pm. Places are limited to 30. For details, ring on 378102 or 07508 954244.

ANOTHER FINE ARTY MIXED BAG AT WOODEND by Dave Barry NORTH AMERICANS outnumber Europeans on Woodend’s music roster over the next month. The music is complemented by various plays and readings and a new exhibition. The gigs begin with the Marty Fields Trio, led by award-winning singer-songwriter Martha Fields (29 Sep £10). Born in Texas and living in Bordeaux, Martha will be flanked by Manu Bertrand, “an extraordinary multi-instrumentalist” who has played at the Olympia in Paris and with blues star Eric Bibb, according to promoter Chris Lee; and classically trained Olivier Leclerc, who is passionate about improvised music and diverse musical styles. They will play track from Martha’s latest album, Southern White Lies. It’s “a gutsy Americana exposition, a state-of-the-nation address that incorporates country blues, gospel, folk and bluegrass, delivered with conviction”, Chris says. The Sarah Scouten Band are next at Woodend (4 Oct £10). Sarah has been nominated for a Canadian folk music award twice. “With flavours of Lucinda Williams, Nanci Griffiths, Old Crow Medicine Show and a wealth of old-time and bluegrass music, her songs are faithful to a long-standing folk music tradition”, says Chris. “She dips into edgier territory from homelessness to midwifery and tongue-incheek heartache songs”. Keith James, who sang the songs of Leonard Cohen at Woodend last year, returns to play Nick Drake (5 Oct £10). “He’s a masterful performer and a brilliant interpreter of the gifted and acclaimed artist who died so tragically young”, says Chris. The Good Lovelies are a popular folk and country combo from Canada (8 Oct £12). They are “a terrific live act, able to move from

ragtime to old-time country and vaudeville seamlessly, with stunning harmonies and a few tall stories”. Nashville duo Wild Ponies will be showcasing songs from their new album Galax, which has been picking up rave reviews in the States and Europe, Chris says (26 Oct £10). “After a more electric and robust series of records, they have gone back to their Tennessee roots to play more reflective folk and country tunes”. Gigs are due to start at 7.30pm. The Headlanders will perform at a cabaret and open-mic night hosted by Scarborough Poetry Workshop and Scarborough Flare (7pm 6 Oct £3). It will feature poetry, stories, jokes, music, a short play, dance, magic and song. Other performers are welcome; be part of the audience or part of the performance. There will be a bar but you can take your own drinks; glasses will be provided. Award-winning Scarborough drama group Bananadrama return to Woodend with five

Book signings at library TWO health-care professionals will sign copies of their new books at Scarborough Library on 10 October - national mental health awareness day. Helen Marriott, a therapist for over 30 years, has written a self-help book, Homo Spiritus A Different Kind of Human. She says it is aimed at “any homo sapiens aged 15+ who is interested in working towards our next evolutionary step by transforming our destructive behaviour. “It shows us how we can reverse our bioemotional loops of fear and anger so we reduce our knee-jerk ancestral reactions to challenging situations”, says Helen, of Fountains Court holistic hotel on Columbus Ravine. “It is peppered with fictional characters who bring the book to life - mainly young adults, put into situations we all recognise”. Helen will be joined at the library by Frank Ramsay, an acupuncturist and mentalhealth professional who started working at Fountains Court early this year. His book is a trilogy of short autobiographical stories detailing his journey into mentalhealth care and therapies. Helen and Frank will be accompanied by David Fowler of Farthings Publishing, who published their books. The signings will run from noon until 2pm.

October - Issue 50

short, script-in-hand plays by talented local writers (30 Sep 7.30pm £5). The plays are Tea for Two by Sue Wilkinson, Icefall by Paul Spencer, Soul Mates by Shari Gledhill, Waiting by Neil Arnott and Nelly Breeks by Jason Mullen. Halloween strikes Woodend a little early when a group of local actors read and perform tales of terror, in If Shadows Could Speak (21 Oct 7.30pm £3). Original stories and plays have been written by local authors for this one-off event. When the lights dim in the gallery, dark spirits, faces of evil and monstrous creatures will be evoked to thrill and delight. Carolyn Soutar will share her experiences of larger-than-life entertainers and theatre people (3 and 10 Oct) before moving on to theatre ghosts and superstitions (31 Oct) and the power of the Hollywood studios (7 Nov). Woodend’s lunchtime lectures start at 1pm and continue with Tim Tubbs, who will talk about the history of Sadler’s Wells from 16832017 (17 Oct) and Mozart, The Magic Flute and the Freemasons (24 Oct). Tickets cost £5 (£4 concessions) for one and £15 (£12) for four. WITH GREAT PLEASURE, a fashion exhibition by JOAN MURRAY, features knitting, weaving, drawing, monoprints and collage (9 Oct-30 Nov free). “Joan’s knitwear is like nothing else you’ll find and it’s likely to be inspired by anything from waves on a beach to dancing dust”, says a Woodend spokesperson. It can be viewed from 9am-5pm weekdays and 10am-4pm weekends. Tickets for all the events can be booked on eventbrite.co.uk and by ringing 384500.

Wagoners memorial talk at art gallery by Dave Barry THE WAGONERS memorial at Sledmere is the subject of the first in a series of talks arranged by the Friends of the Scarborough Art Gallery. Designed by Sir Mark Sykes, it is a tribute to the estate workers who served in the Wagoners Special Reserve in the first world war. The talk, by Dorothy Nott, will examine the artwork, the carvings by Magnoni and the significance for the Sledmere community (9 Oct). Future talk subjects include the Bayeux tapestry by Emily Nelson (13 Nov), the art and craft of stained and painted glass by David Warren (11 Dec), a Victorian scandal involving Ruskin, Millais and Effie Gray by

Linda Randall (8 Jan), Nigeria’s Fulani tribe by Dr Jane Glaister (12 Feb), the A to Z of Scarborough by Mike Atkin (12 Mar) and incorrigible Bohemian Rodolphe Bresdin (9 Apr). Dr Glaister, the Museums Trust’s new chief executive, “has great energy, experience and determination to improve the gallery’s image”, says Robin Stenhouse of the Friends. “The gallery needs to be refurbished”, Robin adds. “It stores a huge number of treasures and has the potential to be an important tourist attraction. “Attracting interest for a seemingly neglected asset is a struggle”. The 40-minute talks start at 2.30pm on the second Monday of the month in the art gallery, with tea and biscuits afterwards.

4-1 to Scarborough Athletic I AM writing this days before the print deadline and 24 hours after Scarborough Athletic beat Mossley FC 4-1 at The Flamingo Land Stadium. I think it was a turning point for Scarborough as the team looked comfortable in their surroundings which included a massive crowd of 812 on a Tuesday night. It was great seeing people wearing their work uniforms and suits in the ground, having made the mad dash from clocking off work to come see the match. As I was commenting on the match, the hairs on the back of my head stood up, the atmosphere was so electric. This new home for us, can be a daunting place to come, especially if we keep getting big crowds like that on a Tuesday night, there’s something special about football under the floodlights. When the ref blew the first whistle it only took Boro 6 minutes to get their first goal. Billy Logan got a fortunate bounce and then made his way towards the goal but the hard work wasn’t over as he showed great composure slotting the ball home after a 1v1 with the Lillywhites keeper. Max Wright was always going to cause Mossley some trouble on the right hand side and fans who watched this fixture last year were thinking we could have another 8 nil one here, especially when Captain Dave Merris had a thunderous shot that took a coat of paint off the woodwork. But Mossley withstood every Scarborough onslaught, they even got up and had some shots themselves,

which went too high or wide of the mark. Things did look a bit flat near the end of the first half as The Seadogs looked to try take a 1-0. Mossley tried and tried again and near the end of the half, the Lancashire side got an equalising goal when their Captain Tom Dean got his head on to a corner ball. I spoke to Steve Kittrick the Athletic Manager and asked him what he said at half time, he told me “They just discussed where they could get better and what needed to be done.” But it looked like the patient approached worked, as Scarborough looked to get a second goal, and all that hard work paid off as Micheal Coulson was brought down by the Mossley keeper and the man in the middle raised his arm for a penalty. Mossley still had some fight in them and Tom Taylor was forced to make some saves but when you thought the fun was over, it wasn’t, as Dave Merris went flying up the left hand side, went past a defender and hit a clean crisp shot into the back of the net to make it 3-1. Then moments later, Grimsby Town loanee, grabbed the ball from the centre of the goal and had space to run at a tired defence, max had two defenders and the way he lost them both tracking him was amazing, nut megging them both in one action gave him enough space for him to head towards goal. Once just outside the box he hit the ball on the sweet spot and the ball just glided into the back of the net and handing Scarborough Athletic their first 3 points on a Tuesday night. It was such a special night.

SCARBOROUGH ENDURE DIFFICULT SEASON By Steve Adamson Scarborough Cricket Club finished the 2017 season in 8th position in Yorkshire Premier League North after experiencing a difficult campaign. They ended the season with two home fixtures at North Marine Road, both against teams lower than them in the table. On 2 September they suffered a 2 wicket defeat after a thrilling finale against Acomb, with the visitors scoring the winning run with just two balls to spare despite a five wicket haul from Bradley Scott.

MATCH SUMMARY

Then in the final match of the season, bad weather reduced the drawn game against Clifton Alliance to 42 overs per side, with play finishing in the gloom at 7-45pm. Scarborough were struggling at 95-5 but were rescued by a sixth wicket partnership of 74 between Darren Harland and Bradley Scott to reach 183-7, a target which the visitors, who needed points to avoid dropping into the relegation zone, never looked likely to reach as they settled for two points from a losing draw, while Scarborough picked up eight points for a winning draw.

Darts players raise £1,520 for chemotherapy unit Words and photo by Dave Barry THE ANNUAL Eileen Elliott 19x memorial trophy raised £3,064 for Scarborough Hospital’s chemotherapy unit. The fundraising received a massive boost this year due to a sponsored hair shave by Julie Short which raised £1,529. The £335 raised with a raffle on the finals night took the total raised since the competition began in 1990 to £35,639. The money is spent on equipment, necessities and luxuries for patients. The ladies darts pairs knock-out competition is played on Wednesday evenings throughout the summer at Wilsons pub in West Sandgate. It carries a first prize of £150. Sue Chadwick of the hospital’s League of Friends attended the final to accept a £5,000 cheque.

The semi-finals saw Anna Gale and Kerry Wardle through to the final by beating Michelle Thacker and Caroline White 3-0, while Wendy Moore and Chris Coates booked their place by beating last year’s winners, Lucia Noble and Helen Lawson, 3-2. In a quality end to the competition, Anna and Kerry took the title with a 3-1 win. Spokesperson Maggie Worrall commented: “We had great support this year and would like to thank not only the ladies who entered but also the local businesses and individuals who were so generous in donating prizes for the raffle. “If it wasn’t for all these people, we wouldn’t be able to raise the kind of money that we do for the chemotherapy unit. So a big thank you L-R, front: Chris Coates, Wendy Moore, Lucia Noble and Helen Lawson. Back: Sue Chadwick, to all of them. We hope we can rely on their Caroline White, Michelle Thacker, Anna Gale and Kerry Wardle (to order photos ring 353597) support again next year”.

FROM THE TOUCHLINE

All the latest from Scarborough Rugby Club... BY DAVE CAMPBELL

Pictured: Scarborough second row Phil Watson (Blue Scrumcap) is tackled at Wheatley Hills

SCARBOROUGH made a terrific start to the league season winning their three opening games collecting a bonus-point in each for scoring four or more tries. They kicked-off with a 36-21 win over a much-fancied Keighley side running in six tries before conceding a couple late on which took the shine off the scoreline. Seventeen year old Jonti Holloway scored a hat-trick of tries and was named man of the match. The Following week they travelled to Doncaster to take on Wheatley Hills who were relegated from North One East at the end of last season. A hard fought match saw skipper Matty Jones score an injury-time fourth try to earn his side a 29-15 win and another bonus point. The men from Silver Royd were playing an exciting brand of fifteen-man Rugby and continued their unbeaten run with the 43-7 thrashing of Selby RUFC scoring seven tries in front of a big crowd including 207 guests attending the club’s Ladies Day.

Jonti Holloway

For the uninitiated the forward pack in Rugby Union are in general the main source of possession in a game from the scrummage and lineout. The Scarborough pack failed to ‘fire’ in all three opening games but were compensated for in the possession of the

ball won in open or loose play. York RUFC topped Yorkshire division One league after three game with Scarborough second; the Minstermen had had also won all three openers but reportedly with a more accomplished ‘all-round’ game. Last Saturday Scarborough travelled to York’s Clifton Park ground and although they kept in touch to only trail 3-13 at half-time, a superb York side ran-riot after the break scoring seven second-half tries to win 567. Lock forward Matty Oxtoby scored a late consolation try converted by flyhalf Tom Harrison for the visitors. It was a shattering defeat for Scarborough; all the more so following such a good start to their campaign. However Coach Simon Smith will no doubt be working on ways to improve his men’s set piece play and I’m sure they’ll be up for Saturday’s home game with Bradford Salem. Last season they did ‘the double’ over Salem Winning 27-0 on the road and 15-13 at Silver Royd. Following tomorrow’s game at Silver Royd the Seasiders have only on home game in October against Halifax-based outfit Old Brodlieans: Mini, Micro and junior rugby kicked off at the start of September and are now in full swing every Sunday. As the club’s junior and mini rugby section is huge and reported widely on social media I’ll look at the Micro and girls this month. Micro rugby is for children six and under and has taken off in a big way at Silver Royd. The kids get the very rudiments of the game and in excess of thirty children are turning up on Sunday mornings and having a whale of a time. Following their successful trip to Belfast for the Woman’s Rugby World Cup final the Scarborough girls have been in action this month including home fixtures with Pontefract girls on the 17th of September.

Drew Govier wins rare possession from a lineout at York.
