Editors Letter.... Heavy Snow fell in the Isle, lasting nearly a month. Did you know England is experiencing its worst winter for almost 15 years? Whilst I thoroughly enjoyed the weather, I hope everyone gave others a helping hand if needed. Whilst the snow can be fun, it can also be a terrible burden for others, especially the elderly. January always seems to be a gloomy month, the excitement of Christmas and New Year gone. We all need cheering up, lets look forward to brighter months ahead with Spring just round the corner. Of course there is Valentines Day and Mothers Day, browse through the Arrow there of plenty of gift ideas; flowers from Jackie's on the High Street, a professional portrait from Steve Oatway, vouchers from the Beauty Salons or even a tattoo for your loved. The choice is yours, and don't forget to shop in your area and support your local businesses.

Current priorities that the Neighbourhood Team are concentrating on in the North Ward area are:Church Street, Crowle Anti-social behaviour incidents. Update = The number of calls for service in the Church street area have reduced but nuisance incidents are still occurring involving unknown young people.
PC1717 Graham Godley
PCSO Wendy Frear
PCSO 7576 Paul Fearon
Manor Park/Godnow Road, Crowle Anti-social behaviour surrounding vehicle use. Concerned about vehicle nuisance/behaviour of young driver gathering at various locations in Crowle. The main area being Windsor Park playing fields. Update = The Neighbourhood Team have been concentrating on this area with regular high vis patrols. Situation will be monitored and any offences committed will be dealt with in a positive manner. George Avenue/Station Road Keadby Street request from the Parish Council and North Lincolnshire Housing asking that the parking situations at these locations be monitored. Concerns for George Avenue were re access of emergency services vehicles should they need to attend. On Station Road parking issues revolve around the parking by parents around the school and concerns re safety of children in that area. Update = High vis patrols have been conducted in the area and the situation is being monitored. During the month of December 2009 a search of premises within the Crowle area revealed a cannabis factory, which has now been destroyed. Enquiries are still on-going regarding those involved. Also at this time please be careful when out and about in your vehicle due to the recent severe weather conditions. Allow yourself plenty of time to get to your destination and drive to the road conditions and your capabilities. Better to get where you are going then not at all. Please be advised that there has been a number of house burglaries within the Isle of Axholme during recent weeks. So remember to secure your property correctly at all times and report any suspicious persons/vehicles or incidents to the police as soon as possible. Working with Pc Graham Godley are your Police Community Support Officers Paul Fearon and Wendy Frear who regularly patrols the North Ward area of the Isle and will be happy to discuss any community issues with you. Please feel free to stop and speak with them or alternatively contact either of us via 0845 60 60 222 or by e-mail graham.godley, paul.fearon or wendy.frear @humberside.pnn.police.uk.

The Isle of Axholme
Where You Live
Your Local History
Adapted by Anthony Catherall
THE ROMANS The Romans under Emperor Claudius invaded Britain in 43 A.D. His armies very swiftly moved north so that by 47 A.D. they had captured most of the land southeast of a SevernTrent frontier. At Lincoln a legionary fortress was built. Ermine Street and Fosse Way Roman roads meet at Lincoln. When the captured areas had been consolidated the Romans looked north again. In 71 A.D. they struck across the Humber at Brough and across the Trent at Littleborough. Their attack was hampered by the marshy conditions around the Isle of Axholme and further north in the Vale of York. Keeping to the firmer ground the Romans skirted the Isle of Axholme. They set up a garrison town at Danum (Doncaster). They marched north and between 71 and 74 A.D. they set up a legionary fortress at York. Prior to this in 51 A.D. a Roman outpost was set up near Doncaster (probably near Rossington Bridge) in Brigantian territory. At this time the Brigantes and Romans lived in relative peaceful co-existence. Some history books by (Stonehouse & Fletcher) mention the story of the attacks made by the Britons from the forest covered Isle of Axholme on the Romans enroute from and to Doncaster. Eventually the Romans became annoyed at these attacks and apparently sent an army to deal with the attackers. A battle was fought near Austerfield possibly with the famous Roman General Ostorius in charge. The Romans were the visitors and apparently set fire to the forest thus destroying the Britons refuge. Evidence to support this story includes the finding of remains such as parts of swords, heads of battle-axes and a statue of a Roman soldier in oak. One Bronze Roman Coin has been found in 1969 at Epworth and is now in Scunthorpe Museum. It has been dated A.D. 350-353 in the reign of Magnentius.

A Thought for Lent Wednesday 17th February is Ash Wednesday, the beginning of Lent. Lent is a period of time preparing for two important events, namely the death of Jesus on Good Friday and His resurrection on Easter Day. Traditionally – or to lose weight in preparation for the beach in the summer holiday – people ‘give up’ things in Lent. The list can be endless, but may include cakes, biscuits, sweets, crisps, wine and all things naughty but nice. There is a lot to commend such self discipline. But how about saving the money you don’t spend on all these items above and giving it away at Easter to a favourite charity or to the poor people of Haiti. A jam jar on the kitchen table works well, and allows everyone in the family to contribute. Or why not ‘give up’ a favourite TV programme once a week and take up reading the story of Jesus in the Bible, or praying or simply sitting still, listening for the still small voice of calm – the voice of God Himself. You may have more creative ideas yourself as to how to prepare for Easter. Lent begins with a Communion Service in St Oswald’s Church Crowle at 7.30pm on Ash Wednesday. I wish you a Holy Lent. Rev Timothy Buckley Vicar of The Crowle Group of Parishes

Did You Know... Enid Blyton was born in London in 1897. She trained as a kindergarten teacher. Her first book was Child Whispers, it appeared in 1922. In 1924 she was then asked to write the Enid Blyton book of Fairies. The Whispering Chair first appeared in 1937. The first Amelia Jane book appeared in 1939. Enid Blyton only became a household favourite in the 1950@s with the publication of Noddy. Enid Blyton’s health deteriorated in the early 1960’s and she sadly died in 1968. Enid Blyton wrote many books. Here are just a few in her collection.
