Derelict eyesore will soon be history

Doomed

A big, ugly and mostly empty building in Scarborough is to be demolished and a town square could be created next to it.

Flats for students and NHS workers

will be built on the site, which is bounded by Newborough, Queen Street and Market Street.

Only one of several retail units in the building remains occupied, by the

One Stop shop.

A separate proposal involves creating a public square by demolishing the row of properties opposite the Market Hall including a toilet

block, the closed Shakespeare pub, a newsagent, Eastern Paradise restaurant and the Homebird shop.

“The public square is a separate scheme, dependent on other funding”, explains borough council leader Steve Siddons. “We will know if we have this in the autumn”.

The regeneration scheme will breathe new life into the town centre and support the expansion plans of Coventry University’s Scarborough campus and the NHS, says the council.

The university says the number of students enrolled at the campus is set to rise from 550 students at present to 800 in September. The local NHS trust runs nursing courses in the town and has a growing need to offer high-quality accommodation to staff and trainees.

Cllr Siddons said: “It means we can breathe new life into a tired and neglected part of the town, removing a building that has dominated the landscape for too long.

Cover story continued....

It is an exciting opportunity to transform part of the town centre which will bring prosperity and opportunities for all local businesses as demand for goods and services increases, and one which will provide jobs.

“The previous investment of £14m by Coventry University in their campus and the £40m recently invested in Scarborough Hospital by the NHS represents a significant commitment to our borough”.

Cllr Derek Bastiman, Conservative group leader on the council, added: “The decision is a reflection of the strong cross-party working that has been in place throughout the development of the towncentre strategy”.

The building is understood to have been for sale for at least 10 years. It has a twostorey carpark, although only one floor is used. Planning permission for a cinema was once granted and still stands.

Since the building went up in the mid-60s, it has been occupied by various businesses and organisations including the Department for Social Security. The first supermarket was Elmo, run by a South African firm next to a DIY shop called Timberland. It was followed by Tesco, Argos and shops selling sea-shells and men’s clothes.

A nightclub called Fiesta at

the Market Hall end was run

by Coronation Street actor Fred Feast. Another nightclub, or perhaps the same one at another time, was called Aquarius.

The upper part of the building was the town’s first proper bowling alley, apart from a section used by the Old Scarborians FC club. In those days, Eastern Paradise restaurant was called Minnar.

Before the mid-60s, numerous shops and a pub ran down Market Street opposite Boyes.

The Queen Street side had a post office, a mission house, a pub and a large store called Bradleys at the Newborough corner.

A shop and house next to one of the pubs was the scene of a fire which killed a woman and her children. The funeral at Dean Road cemetery was attended by many people who were angry that the father had escaped. The police advised him not to go. The graves are unmarked and plans are afoot to erect a memorial near the scene of the fire.

Further back in time, a Carmelite convent on the site was founded in 1319. It was commissioned by Edward II for White Friars to pray for his friend Piers Gaveston. * Many thanks to the Scarborough Bottom End and Old Town Facebook page for help with the historical aspects of this report.

building is almost completely obscured by a well-established wisteria, a mature sycamore and a rambling rose bush standing about a foot away from the front wall.

Bushes and possibly even trees are growing through gaping holes in the roof. One of the front windows looks as if it is

held together by masking tape.

A bemused neighbour speculated that after so many years of neglect, the water and sewage pipes and electrical cables underground may have degraded beyond the point of repair.

It could make more sense to knock the building down

and start again, rather than renovate it.

The guide price for the property, on the website of London estate agent Allsop, was initially £70,000+ but was raised to £80,000+.

The website describes the house as having two reception rooms and a kitchen on the ground floor; three bedrooms, a bathroom and a toilet on the first floor; and a garden at the back. Photos of the interior reveal it to be just as neglected as the exterior.

The auction was staged at the Intercontinental Hotel in Park Lane, London, on 18 July.

Big wheel on Futurist site THE big wheel on the site of the Futurist Theatre on Scarborough seafront has started turning.

It can carry 144 passengers in 24 gondolas, which are covered but open at the top of their walls.

For an eight-minute spin, adults are charged £5 and children £4. Concessions are available. It is illuminated with hundreds of LED lights and will operate daily from 11am until about 9.30pm, as long as it isn’t too windy.

Merseyside-based Observation Wheel UK got the thumbs-up from Scarborough Council to run the wheel until 26 August but the lease could be extended to 10 November.

The operator plans to give 300 free rides to raise funds for the Borough Community Fund. It donated £500 towards the cost of fireworks at Seafest.

The company bought the 32m wheel in Italy and transported it to Scarborough in four trucks. It took seven people to assemble on a tough floor

covering, using two crane lorries.

Scarborough Council leader Cllr Steve Siddons said: “I am really pleased we have been able to secure such a high-quality attraction for Scarborough. The observation wheel will be something unique for the south bay. It will complement existing businesses, help attract extra visitors and benefit the town until plans for a permanent solution on the site are finalised”.

Universal credit blamed for rise in foodbank use UNIVERSAL credit and other social problems have caused an unprecedented number of people to turn to foodbanks for a lifeline in Scarborough.

The Rainbow Centre for the homeless has had an average of 35 foodbank clients a day since January.

Centre manager Trish Kinsella says: “We predicted that the delays and difficulties caused by universal credit would create enormous hardship for many people and sadly we’ve been proved right. It’s 23 years since we opened our doors and we’re busier than ever”.

Major Stephen Noble of the Salvation Army added: “Poverty is a growing issue

within the community of Scarborough. For many years we have had a heavy focus on the needs of men and women who are homeless. However, today we are stretched as we encounter children who are not being fed at home over a weekend and who are at high risk during summer holidays. This reality drives our provision of food through foodbanks, but also in providing hot meals for children, the elderly and the homeless on a weekly basis”.

He said referrals had been climbing every month.

The numbers of Rainbow Centre foodbank clients and Salvation Army referrals had

both risen by 20% compared with the same period last year.

Two food donation points have been installed in the Brunswick Centre, on the ground and first floors. Nonperishable donations taken to the centre by the public will be collected by the two charities.

Centre manager Sue Anderson-Brown said thousands of local shoppers visit the mall every week.

She hoped the new donation stations would give extra visibility to the foodbank appeal and encourage more people to donate. The appeal is being supported by Yorkshire Coast Radio.

At the two new food donation points are, L-R, Sue Anderson-Brown, Trish Kinsella and, from the Salvation Army, Richard Crocker and Angela and Stephen Noble (to order photos ring 353597)

Forge Valley access revamp PLANNING permission is being sought for a new footbridge and improvements to carparks in Forge Valley.

It is part of a bid for EU money to replace and improve the boardwalk alongside the stream at the Ayton end of the path.

The existing timbers have

become too expensive to maintain and it is increasingly difficult to ensure that the path is in a safe state.

“The supports are rotting and failing suddenly”, says Raincliffe Woods Community Enterprise (RWCE), based at Woodend in Scarborough.

NEWS IN BRIEF

JEREMY Corbyn was due to visit Scarborough today (Friday 30 July), for a meeting with the constituency’s Labour candidate at the next general election. The Opposition leader and Hugo

that the investment will boost visitor numbers.

If approved by the North York Moors National Park Authority, the new footbridge would have access for users of wheelchairs and pushchairs from a new carpark. The bid has a strong focus on ensuring that those with accessibility needs can easily and independently access the boardwalk. “We have liaised with Yorkshire Coast & Ryedale Disability Forum to ensure that it meets their needs”, says RWCE. “There will be two dedicated parking bays for disabled vehicles and mini-coaches”.

The RWCE website has a link to the authority’s site, where the plan and supporting documents can be viewed. The closing date for comments is 7 August.

Leeds and London Burglar gets 24 weeks drugs gangs target Scarborough addicts GANGS of drug dealers from Leeds and London were caught after targeting Scarborough addicts.

Five Leeds dealers, all in their 20s, have been convicted of supplying cocaine and heroin.

In June 2017, in Prince of Wales Terrace, the police stopped a Vauxhall Astra which they suspected was involved in drug dealing.

The car and its occupants, driver Anthony Cleary and passenger Daniel Squires, were searched by officers who found heroin, cocaine and £290 in cash.

This led to other suspects involved in the supply network including ringleader Liam Ayres, his girlfriend at the time - Tammy Cleary, and Ethan Jake Bodally.

The police seized 109 wraps of heroin, some mixed with deadly fentanyl, and 90 wraps of cocaine. They found a list of local addicts, weighing scales and bags at a flat rented by Ayres in Albion Crescent.

Cleary was found to have banked over £10,000 from the proceeds of drug dealing over

four months. The deposits were used as evidence in the prosecution.

All five pleaded guilty to various charges including conspiracy to supply class-A drugs and conspiracy to conceal criminal property - the money earned through drug dealing.

Apart from Ayres, who was bailed, they were remanded into prison custody and were due to be sentenced on 2 August.

“The gang targeted local drug addicts, many of whom are vulnerable due to their addiction”, said Detective Constable James Temple. “To compound the risks to them, some of the drugs were a potential deadly mix of heroin and fentanyl”.

Five London dealers, all teenagers, and two people from Scarborough, a man aged 33 and a woman aged 42, were arrested on 2 July.

Just after 5pm, police officers carrying out proactive patrols in the Queen Street area saw what they believed was a drug deal taking place.

They followed the suspects to

a nearby flat where they seized numerous items suspected of being used in the supply of drugs, including a large amount of cash, mobile phones and wraps of suspected class-A drugs. People were at the flat who didn’t live there.

They were arrested on similar charges to the Leeds gang plus obstructing the police.

Two of the teenagers remain in police custody. The rest were released while under investigation.

DC Temple said: “We urge members of the public to continue to report information about suspected drug dealing in their neighbourhood, either to us or anonymously to the charity Crimestoppers. No matter how small you believe that piece of information is, it could be a vital piece of the bigger picture. As you can see from this case, and many others we have brought to the courts, we will take action”.

Ring 101 to report suspicious activity or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111, or online at crimestoppers-uk. org.

Persistent nuisance jailed for string of offences A woman described by police as “a persistent nuisance” has been jailed for a year.

Nina Caroline Smith, 39, pleaded guilty to a string of thefts, assaults and public order offences in Scarborough.

Smith, of no fixed address, assaulted an emergency worker, was caught shoplifting twice and breached her bail conditions. She was also charged with a public order offence and having a knife in a public place. The offences took place in March, April and June.

On 30 June, she was arrested in West Square for being in the town centre, an area prohibited by her bail conditions, and

carrying a knife.

The next day, in court, magistrates told Smith that her offending was serious because she had shown “a flagrant disregard for people and their property”.

PC Tom Wilkinson added: “Smith’s actions have caused disruption and misery to people in Scarborough over many months. The sentence will provide some respite for residents and allow her to address her offending behaviour”.

Burglar Adrian A d r i a n Wilkie Wilkie, 32, broke into El Gringo’s on 7 July and emptied the till.

Another man appeared at court

and pleaded guilty to three counts of burglary and one of attempted burglary of various commercial premises in the town. He was remanded into custody for sentencing, but is soon to go on trial for a fourth burglary offence.

Detective constable Vicky Millington said: “We’re pleased with the result and the fact that Wilkie has been given a custodial sentence which

reflects the disruption and upset he caused to the owners of El Gringo’s.

“I hope it sends a clear message to anyone who thinks they can target small businesses in Scarborough. The police are committed to pursuing and prosecuting you and putting you in front of the courts to ensure justice is done”.

Man threatens police officers A man who shouted, swore and threatened police officers pleaded guilty to a public order offence at Scarborough magistrates court.

Adrian Charles Norman, 56,

was arrested after officers attended an incident in Woodland Avenue.

Norman, who lives in the street, was charged with using threatening language towards

two police officers with intent to cause fear of violence.

Magistrates deferred his sentence until 5 December but told him to keep out of trouble and pay fines in the meantime.

Oliver’s Mount road to stay closed A minor but well-used road in Scarborough has been closed for at least seven months, with no sign of it reopening.

Jackson's Lane, one of three roads up Oliver’s Mount, has been closed to traffic since

December.

The affected part of the road is the hairpin bend between South Cliff Golf Club and the top of the hill.

A county council spokesperson said: “We are working with Scarborough Council, the

land owner, to develop an engineered solution, but we have no timescale as to when the road will be reopened permanently”.

However, Jackson’s Lane was open under traffic lights for a motorbike race on 27 July.

Historian searches for memorial descendants A historian is looking for living descendants of the Scarborough brigade of St John Ambulance who died in WW1.

In June, Anne Morley attended a Durham Cathedral service to re-dedicate a memorial to 1,077 brigade volunteers lost in the war.

The 238 names on the 1922 memorial include many from Scarborough, where a division was set up in 1910; none was from Filey.

Members of the YMCA division, as it was known, met at premises in Brunswick Terrace, which was demolished to make space for the Brunswick Pavilion.

By 1914 they had moved to Aberdeen Walk and been joined by women who formed the nursing division.

With help from Carol Appleby of the Friends of Dean Road and Manor Road Cemetery, Anne has have discovered something about the Scarborough people named on the memorial. * Robert Cooke Atkinson, born in 1896, went to St Martin’s Grammar School. He joined the King’s Rifle Corps, was killed on 15 November 1916 and is buried at Courcelles-auBois. * Francis Calvert, who died

from shrapnel wounds on 19 September 1917, is buried in Grévillers. * William Fowler, born in 1888, was a shepherd in Harwood Dale. He had no connection with Henry and Margaret Fowler who worked hard with St John cadets over the years. * Thomas Crompton Nelson, born in 1894, was a piano tuner. He served in the Royal Marines and was killed in action on 14 November 1916.

He is buried in Beaumont Hamel. His name is on the 4th Scarborough scout troop roll of honour. * Cyril Vernon Larkin lived in Aberdeen Terrace and worked for WH Smith. He enlisted in 1915 in the Royal Army Medical Corps. In spite of being described as ‘only fit for service at home’, he was sent to France then Greece, where he caught malaria. He was a patient for three months in the hospital he had been working in. He returned to duty in October 1917. A few days before the armistice, he caught Spanish flu and died.

He was buried in Greece. * Mary McLaughlin was a member of the nursing division.

Her Dublin-born father George was a bandmaster with the 2nd York and Lancaster Regiment, serving in Barbados, South

Africa (where her sister Esther was born), Mauritius and India (where Mary was born in 1897). The sisters attended Gladstone Road School and became nurses with the Voluntary Aid Detachment.

They died of influenza within six days of each other at home, 219 Prospect Road, in 1918.

Anne would like to hear from anyone who knows any descendants and anyone who would like to forming a new brigade unit in the town. Email her on anne.morley169@ btinternet.com.

St John Ambulance was set up in 1887 to teach first aid to the public to help combat the many work-place accidents in the industrial revolution.

They were essential in colliery villages.

New hide opens at Filey nature reserve A NEW bird-watching hide has appeared at Filey Dams, boosting its reputation as one of the county’s top nature reserves.

Completed a few months ago, the hide was officially opened on 31 July. Spacious and light, it has been designed to be accessible, welcoming and adaptable. It is the third on the Yorkshire Wildlife Trust site.

Filey Bird Observatory and Group instigated the building of the new hide to make it easier for visitors to view wildlife.

The group has been involved with the management of Filey Dams since it was saved from a developer’s bulldozer in 1985.

Green Future Building Ltd, a not-for-profit social enterprise committed to conservation and sustainability, designed and built the hide, with additional work carried out by the Filey Dams volunteer group.

This hidden gem of a reserve is tucked away next to housing on the outskirts of Filey, whose

residents are the most frequent visitors.

The last remaining freshwater marsh of any size in the area, the six-hectare site is a haven for plants, small mammals and amphibians, including dragonflies, damselflies, newts, butterflies and water voles. It provides a vital stop off for migrating birds, which use it as a vital pit-stop on their way to often far-flung breeding or wintering grounds.

Ducks, geese, swans, waders, herons and various other birds frequent the Dams; every year brings new surprises and rarities.

The open water and its fringes attract a wide range of aquatic and semi-aquatic species.

The area surrounding the ponds is neutral grassland, most of it grazed by cattle. Fenced areas offer a sanctuary for groundnesting birds and provide tall grasses for insects. Soft rush dominates, joined in the shallow water by toad rush,

bottle sedge and branched bur-reed.

Other species include large bittercress, water plantain and flag iris. Smooth, palmate and great crested newt are sometimes seen by day but usually by torchlight, the latter species in nationally important numbers.

A short walk from the car park and main hide, a small copse has nest boxes for the healthy tree sparrow population. A boardwalk leads to a ponddipping platform at the edge of a quiet pool. Dragonflies skim the water, settling on a mat of amphibious bistort. Water vole can be seen but are more likely heard, crunching their way through the soft stalks of water forget-me-not.

Dragonflies such as the broadbodied chaser, the black-tailed skimmer and the ruddy darter are active over the pools.

Residents’ relatives joined in and together they have knitted 23 Bobby Buddies so far.

Residents Sheila Carlil and Dennis Muir, who are retired police officers, visited the police station to present the teddies. They were given a tour of the station, which brought back lots of memories.

Scarborough Hall’s Magic Moments club coordinator Skigh Beedham said: “There have been knitting needles clicking all over our home for the past few weeks and we are delighted that our Bobby Buddies will bring comfort to children who may be going through a tough time”.

Charity shop raises £16k+ for worthy causes OVER £16,000 has been given to worthy local causes over the last three months by a Scarborough charity shop.

Individual donations were white goods valued at £3,628, carpet vouchers worth £700, beds valued at £538, school uniforms worth £140 and miscellaneous donations to the value of £1,459.

“This is all thanks to our hard-working volunteers and our brilliant customers who support us by buying the goods that have been

Cool jazz raises group profile Local crafter raises the THE jazz and breeze were equally cool when a band of musicians assembled to play in the centre of Scarborough one sunny weekend in July.

Despite the bright sunshine and high UV count, a distinctly chilly breeze blew up Vernon Road from the seafront.

Saxophonists Steve Whitehead and Ben Beattie were backed, consecutively not concurrently, by the Mike Gordon Trio, which on this occasion consisted of Bob Walker on bass, Adrian Riley on congas and Mike on keyboards.

The gig raised awareness - and over £100 - for the Scarborough branch of Amnesty International, which Mike chairs.

“We collected £116 but our real aim was to promote Amnesty”, Mike explained.

The branch’s next activity was its annual walk in Harwood

200 kids ‘graduate’ from Children’s University

A Scarborough crafter is moving to new and larger premises due to the success of her hand-made gifts and keepsakes.

Karon Wallis, founder of Lilly’s Treasures, is moving from the Market Vaults to 42 Bar Street.

Karon handcrafts bespoke gifts and keepsakes for weddings, birthdays and other life celebrations.

“My time in the Market Vaults has been very enjoyable”, Karon said. “It is a very supportive place to have a business.

“However, Lilly’s Treasures has outgrown this location and I’m very much looking forward to being part of the Bar Street community. The aim is to offer customers a memorable shopping experience. This includes a free gift-wrapping service for items bought in our new shop”.

Karon’s creations are made either at her premises or at home. She said: “They are made with a great deal of

thought and love. Customers love the items they buy for that special occasion”.

Karon was recently diagnosed with fibromyalgia, a condition that affects mainly females and causes severe and debilitating pain throughout the body. She began her creative enterprise as a distraction from the

discomfort and by doing so discovered her creative talents.

Karon moved to the town from the Midlands following a career in the social sector. She said: “Scarborough is a truly inspirational place and to be able to live and work here is a real blessing”.

Yorkshire in Bloom judges visit Scarborough The traditional hat-throwing (to order photos ring 353597)

SOME 200 primary-school children ‘graduated’ in style at the annual Scarborough & North Yorkshire Children’s University ceremony at the Spa. Watched by lots of proud parents, guardians and friends, the celebration of independent and extra-curricular learning was hosted by Hull University and led by Richard Adams, who spearheads the Children’s University (CU).

After the ceremony, the children posed for the traditional hat-throwing graduation photo and danced the night away at a graduation party.

The evening will featured a one-off performance from young members of the Stephen Joseph Theatre.

The CU works in partnership with designated primary schools and centres to develop independent learning in children. The scheme does this by encouraging and celebrating participation in extracurricular activities in and out of school.

In partnership with local

businesses and public organisations, the CU has brought new extra-curricular activities into many local primary schools. Subjects include science, sport, maths, adventure, drama, dance, museums and galleries.

This year the scheme expanded its reach and improved its activities with the help of the North Yorkshire Coast Opportunities Area, which provides financial support.

98% of surveyed parents at last year’s ceremony agreed that taking part in the CU had improved their child’s engagement in independent learning. 90% felt the scheme had a positive impact on their child’s aspirations and motivation at school. Teachers have reported that pupils who take part are more confident and motivated.

A parent said: “Her grades have improved and her drive to learn has increased”.

Since its launch in 2014, the CU has worked with over 4,500 primary pupils and over 6,000 parents from 16 schools in

Scarborough, Filey, Ryedale and Whitby. Hull University runs the scheme from its North Yorkshire Partnership Hub office next to Scarborough Tec in Filey Road.

Richard says: “For me, the most important thing about the CU is that it promotes a love of independent learning and shows young people that they can shape their own destinies.

As these children take the big step up to secondary school, we hope the CU has inspired them to realise that learning can take place anywhere and that with hard work they can really succeed”.

Filey Junior School pupil Bethany summed it up last year: “It doesn’t matter who you are, you can do it. You don’t need money, just persevere and do your best. It will really build your confidence”.

Gladstone Road School’s outgoing head Keith Wright added: “It’s great for schools to come together in a noncompetitive environment”.

SCARBOROUGH gardeners couldn’t have picked better weather to show off their hard work when two Yorkshire in Bloom judges visited.

Brendan Mowforth of Holmfirth and Paul Verney of Howden were given a conducted tour of the town’s floral highlights by residents.

Brendan is a leading national judge, travelling all over the country. He said he Paul had enjoyed their walking tour of the town, which doesn’t enter the national competition, Britain in Bloom. “There’s lots to see and we can see how hard the residents have worked”.

The residents included ward councillor Janet Jefferson, who said: “Last time, we got 81 points for the urban area and we were four points off gold”.

The judges’ whistle-stop tour encompassed Dean Road and Manor Road cemetery, Peasholm Park, Coastguard Cottages, Castlegate, Paradise, a big planter in Castle Terrace, Burr Bank, Princess Street, Globe Street, Eastborough, Vernon Road, the Crescent and South Cliff gardens.

They had a quiet break in St Mary’s Church where Sandra Dickens showed

them the garden she tends.

They viewed the disabled access at Ann Brontë’s grave, provided by the Civic Society.

They marvelled at Janet Whittaker’s bloom-festooned house in St Mary’s Street and Liz Blades’ colourful yard garden. They had a quick look at the medieval butter cross in Princess Square, recently renovated by two women who live in St Mary’s Walk. And in Valley Road they admired the flowerbeds and met Graham and Felicity Stevenson, who launched the area’s friends group.

Entries were in numerous categories.

The winners will be announced on 10 September.

Yorkshire in Bloom is a voluntary regional organisation that administers the Royal Horticultural Society’s Britain in Bloom campaign in north, south, east, west and north Yorkshire.

Britain in Bloom is the largest horticultural campaign in Europe. Each year it grows in size and importance and involves more people, groups and organisations, creating lasting improvements to local environments.

Young and old penpals learn about each other YOUNG and old have teamed up for a pen-pal project in Scarborough.

Ten-year-old children and adults, some in their 80s, shared their life experiences with each other.

They exchanged letters via a mediator and some of the participants came face-to-face at Northstead School, which the youngsters attend.

The school and Age UK had worked together on the project since January.

Mohamed Mohamed was paired up with 82-year-old Philip Waite, who told his young penpal what life was like when he was young. “We didn’t have much but it was simple”, he said. “We had no TV and no telephone. Life is too complicated now”. Mohamed told Keith about his interests.

Erin Moore and Alison Fenton told each other about their brothers and sisters. “We both have a sibling who’s five years younger”, Alison said.

“We talked about our holidays and discovered we both like Chinese food”. When they met, Erin showed Alison some of her artwork and poetry.

The project was organised

by Alison Easton of Age UK, who said: “The entire yearfive group at Northstead, 88 students, have been writing

to our service users hoping to promote intergenerational communication and bonding. A number of children had never written or received a letter before. The children and staff have been so supportive and excited. The letters have been fantastic to read, with both

parties learning from shared experiences.

“They met over coffee and cake and eagerly showed their super work and kindly sang for us”.

Readers who would like a penpal can ring Alison on 07598 354964.

Ex-anorexic reaches out to help others A Scarborough woman who spent years battling with anorexia is using her experience to help others.

When Kathryn Salt was 17, she had what she thought was a normal diet. But it quickly turned into a long-term eating disorder that took many years to recover from.

“I can remember cutting back on certain foods”, she says. “It just spiralled out of control.

But it's not about the food, it's about unresolved, underlying issues in your life that have not been worked through and blocked emotions which we find too painful to face and talk about. You are just caught up in it and it becomes a way of life”.

Kathryn says: “Eating disorders are difficult to understand unless you have been through it yourself. I know there are many people suffering with them. Little help

is available, leaving people feeling desperate with no hope or way out. I want to use my own experience to help others, so they can heal and recover from their distorted relationship with food”.

Kathryn works with people struggling with anxiety and depression, using cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT. “There is a strong link between our thoughts, how we feel, and our actions due to those thoughts and feelings.

When we have a deeper understanding of this, we can begin to make more sense of why we behave in certain ways, and how to change our negative behaviour patterns.

The CBT works really well in this area”.

Parks are among the world's best green spaces PARKS in Scarborough and Filey have been awarded Green Flags, placing them among the world's best green spaces.

They are Falsgrave Park and Peasholm Park in Scarborough and, in Filey, Glen and Crescent Gardens, which counts as one park.

All three have been awarded Green Flags every year since winning their first: Falsgrave in 2005, Filey in 2006 and Peasholm in 2013.

In Falsgrave park, town crier David Birdsall rang his bell and declared the news in his loudest voice, while his consort, Veronica Dickinson, hoisted the flag aloft, watched by members of the park’s Friends group and the council’s parks-and-gardens squad.

The three parks are among 1,970 large and small green spaces across the UK which have been awarded a Green Flag this year, 87 more than in 2018.

Scheme manager Paul Todd said: “It’s fantastic that we have more Green Flag awards in the

UK than ever before, joined this year by 126 international winners.

“Each flag honours the thousands of staff and volunteers who work tirelessly to maintain the high standards demanded by the award. We congratulate each and every winner on their fantastic achievement”.

SCARBOROUGH Survivors is looking for people to take up volunteer mental health support roles.

Survivors welcomes enquiries from potential volunteers withe at least two and a half hours a week spare. Full training is given to ensure they have the skills and confidence to support members.

This includes an accredited mental-health first-aid course, safeguarding, food safety and training in managing conversations about mental health.

mental-health and wellbeing hub covering the borough of Scarborough. It is committed to equality and diversity and providing a safe and welcoming space for anyone who has experience of mental illness, including as a friend, relative or carer.

Established for 25 years, Survivors has received a Queen’s award for voluntary services (the voluntary equivalent of an MBE) and a Duke of York community initiative award in recognition of its services to the community.

Volunteers play a key role in supporting people to access a range of services. They help reduce the stigma and isolation of mental illness by enabling more people to talk about mental health and identifying ways to help maintain better mental wellbeing.

A family fun day at the Crown Tavern pub in Scarborough, from noon to 6pm on Sunday 4 August, will raise money for sign-language charity Makaton. Organisers Samantha Grant and Sheena Groom are appealing for raffle prizes and donations.

Email sammgrant76@gmail. com or sheenagroom84@ hotmail.co.uk.

On a day-to-day basis, volunteers help people participate in social activities, engage in conversation and provide food and refreshments in the resource centre. In the autumn, Survivors will launch two projects which will need more volunteers. A positive buddy service will build on the support offered to members by helping them access services in the community and empower them to manage their daily lives better. Volunteers are sought to facilitate a dedicated young person’s space. This will offer activities identified by younger members, aged 16-25.

Grumpy’s Groans ANONYMOUS

OUR new anonymous writer is Grumpy by name NOT by nature! But some things just get under their skin – do they for you too?

There are so many wonderful things in this world – but ever noticed how we humans work hard at making a mess of it?

We’re often so engrossed in our own world, that we don’t notice what’s going on around us.

A happy family walking down the street holding hands together. So lovely. And such a pain for anyone walking towards them when they don’t let go of each other.

Then there’s those fancy toilet paper holders in public toilets that are clearly programmed to let you have as little as possible – but only if you can catch hold of the end to pull. You can bet your bottom dollar that the last person didn’t leave a tail to grab.

Don’t even get me started on the super-hygienic toilets that flush with the movement of your hand over the sensor.

The tap water comes on automatically, the hand dryer does the same and yet you still have to push at the soap dispenser. Last week I must have spent a good two minutes waving frantically at the silly thing.

There’s a lovely prayer made known widely by Alcoholics Anonymous and other 12step programmes: "God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, courage to change the things I can, and wisdom to know the difference." I’ve always thought of it as really old – until I researched this article – but it was written by the theologian-philosopher

Reinhold Niebuhr around 1932. That might be really old to you but not to me. Yes I know. My age is one of the things I cannot change.

It’s all in the way you look at it, isn’t it?

Sorry, I’m not done yet, let’s talk about those communication clashes.

Trying to sort out any issue with a utility company – and I include mobile phone providers in that group – is a task for which you need to allocate at least half a day.

First of all the automatic bits at the front want your details before you can begin, but when a human does answer you’re asked for them all again. While you’re waiting for a human being there’s really loud music so you turn the volume on your phone down and then when the human answers you can’t hear them because it’s too low.

In amongst the assorted holding messages which invariably include, ‘Your call is important to us’ and ‘Did you know you can use our website?’ there’s probably some useful information but by this stage I’m in a trance, brain washed by the repetitions.

You know you’re getting close when you hear that the call will be automatically recorded for ‘training purposes’.

What training purposes? I think it must be code for: ‘Used at the Christmas party for amusement’.

Have you noticed any great improvement by these companies over the years?

Recently I managed to completely mess up my water bill.

Having moved house five months ago I had been surprised to receive a bill for that time for water used.

So I braced myself and rang them. After all the usual trails I finally spoke to a woman at the other end. We sorted it out together and she kindly closed the account. Easy peasy.

Unfortunately it wasn’t that easy peasy at all. The bill was for our old house and I’d ended up closing where we currently live!

Hey ho. How did that happen?

How about you? What winds you up?

Why not email me, editor@ t h e s c a r b o r o u g h r e v i e w. co.uk with the subject line: Grumpy’s Groans and share your stories.

Family takes recycling to another level A Scarborough family is raising cash for charity by recycling things that aren’t normal recycled.

Christian and Louise Machen and their children collect a range of items from a list on the website elliesfund.com.

Ellie, who was taught by Heather, died of a brain tumour aged 14 in 2017. Her legacy is Ellie’s Fund, for which her mum, Heather Othick, has raised £1,751 by collecting 90,918 baby food pouches through EllaCycle.

The website has 18 categories.

“So it’s worth looking through and considering the things you use regularly”, Christian says.

“Then making your chosen products the main focus as you recycle.

“We have a separate bin and tend to collect mainly baby food pouches, crisp packets, bread bags, cleaning / beauty product lids and dental products such as toothpaste packaging, used toothbrushes and tubes.

However, sometimes we will add other things from the list as we go. It’s a very clear list, with visual posters, and once you’ve seen them a few times, you tend to remember”, Christian says.

“There are so many products that can make money for the charity, from used contact lenses to cleaning product lids and used writing instruments, while also helping to minimise waste and pollution in our society. So it’s a win-win situation for all.

“We feel it’s particularly important to encourage our children to get into good habits.

So that recycling becomes an everyday, natural and essential activity.

“We tend to wait until the bin is full. Then it takes five minutes

Your Letters In search of fishermen Dear editor, I'm writing a book about the decline of the fishing industry in Scarborough and the disappearance of what used to be a tightly-knit fishing community.

I've done quite a few interviews with old skippers and crew, Giorgio Alessio of the Lanterna and the deputy harbour master.

I plan to interweave the stories

of their lives with the economic history of the industry, the regulations, the EU, the effect on fish of climate change, etc.

However, to complete the story, I have been unable to find fishermen who are still fishing out of Scarborough. I've tried visiting the Lookout café on the harbour, where I understand they go, but not found anyone willing to talk to me. They probably wonder who I am and what I am doing.

But the story is so fascinating, with the personal narratives

alongside the legislative and economic challenges, that I really don't want to give up.

I live in London but was brought up in Scarborough and plan to make another visit in August.

So if any of your readers fit the bill or know of someone who does, I’d be grateful if they could make contact.

Charity cookbook Dear editor, Meningitis Now is a charity that means a lot to me from my personal experience of falling ill with the disease when I was 18.

I wholeheartedly support and admire the work they do to raise much needed awareness.

This is why I was delighted to be asked to contribute a recipe to the charity for their Brew & Bake fundraiser – a wonderful

to separate all the products into their categories. A good way to package them up is by putting them in bread or paper bags, as bread bags are on the Ellie’s Fund list and paper bags can be recycled again. Then it’s just a case of dropping them off at an Ellie’s Fund event or collection point”.

The Scarborough-area drop-off points are Coast and County Radio on Northway (everything except food pouches); Creative Crafts(oral care, crisp packets, confectionery wrappers and biscuit wrappers); Skylark day nursery (everything); Happy Soul at the Market Hall (everything except food pouches), North End Farm Guest House at 88 Main Street,

Seamer (everything - bin on driveway); and 103 Garth End Road, West Ayton (everything bin at gates).

Christian adds: “It would be incredible if every household and company did this in the same way we use our blue bins. The money raised would be phenomenal”.

A spokesman for the EllaCycle recycling programme, which has been run by TerraCycle since 2010, said: “Thanks to our amazing EllaCyclers like Christian, who have set up public drop off points in their communities, we have been able to raise more than £50,000 for good causes. We hope his story will inspire others to join in and get recycling”.

My recipe is for an orange and poppy seed cake but the great thing about this idea is you can keep things as simple or as complicated as you like.

Whether you serve my cake, one of your own tasty recipes, or just break open a pack of biscuits, you’ll be doing something amazing to help families around the country living with the impact of meningitis.

Hospice wishing well installed at the Brunswick A GROUP of Scarborough students has helped ensure that wishes come true for Saint Catherine’s by building a wishing well for the Brunswick shopping centre.

The well was built from scratch by students at the Construction Skills Village (CSV) in Middle Deepdale, Eastfield.

It has been installed in the Brunswick so customers can make a donation towards patient care.

Kacie Peirson of the CSV said: “Everybody has been so passionate about getting involved in this project. All partners, learners and staff pulled together as a team and used their skills and creative ideas to support a great cause”.

Over 20 students, aged 16-35, were involved, overseen by joinery trainer and assessor John Revill.

Shopping centre manager Sue Anderson-Brown said: “We are sure our shoppers will be inspired to give generously”.

The project came about thanks

to a partnership between CSV, the shopping centre and the hospice. It was supported by West Building Supplies, Flixton Sawmill, Signs Express, Dunelm and Calverts Carpets, who donated materials. * The Royal Hotel in Scarborough is organising a summer ball in aid of the hospice on 10 August, at 7pm.

It will feature a three-course meal and the Dave Challis Jazz Band. Tickets cost £30 and can be booked by ringing 361774. * Saint Catherine’s is inviting businesses to join its new Friends in Business scheme.

It’s a way of supporting patient care while reducing tax bills.

Donations by limited companies, partnerships and sole traders are tax deductible.

Donations from sole traders and business partnerships are paid net of tax and the charity claims a tax credit on top from HMRC. Donations can be eligible for Gift Aid or Corporate Gift Aid. For example, a £100 donation

by a limited company costs the company £81 after a 19% tax saving. For sole trader and partnership companies, charitable donations are uplifted by HMRC through Gift Aid, so a £100 donation would be increased to £125, with the extra £25 paid by HMRC. * Saint Catherine’s is encouraging supporters to remember the hospice in their wills.

Several made commitments during make-a-will week from 29 April to 3 May. One supporter, Valerie Woodhead, said: “As a family we have always supported Saint Catherine’s as they do such a fantastic job looking after the patients and their families. I feel privileged to have the hospice and the amazing services they provide on my doorstep and wanted to show my support by taking part in the make-a-will week and including Saint Catherine’s as a beneficiary in my will”.

Library marks Armed Forces Day with spam sandwiches and Vera Lynn songs SPAM sandwiches and Vera Lynn songs evoked the wartime spirit at Scarborough Library during Armed Forces Day. With great gusto, the library’s new Wellbeing Choir, some sporting spotted and knotted red handkerchiefs, sang about a dozen songs including It’s a Long Way to Tipperary, (There’ll be Bluebirds Over) the White Cliffs of Dover and We’ll Meet Again.

Most of the 30 members were present, conducted in the foyer by library supervisor and choir founder Dee Johnston.

The veterans vintage tea

party continued in the main room of the library, where sandwiches made with spam, potted meat and corned beef were served. The food was sponsored by Sainsbury’s.

Further entertainment was provided by Beach Hut Theatre. Jo Pimm set the ball rolling with a beautiful rendition of White Cliffs.

The company then presented a few short plays beginning with Somebody Else’s Son by Will Duffield.

John Pattison of Beach Hut performed the music at both events.

The choir’s next performances will be at the library on 5

October with Beach Hut (tbc) and a Christmas concert.

Dee, who runs the choir with pianist Paul McCann, said: “The idea came about because a couple of customers asked if I had thought of setting up a community choir. I hadn’t, but I

started to think about it and my dad, who is also musical, said do it, put your musical ability to use.

“We want people who are perhaps slightly lonely or don’t take part in other activities or attend any other groups. Singing as part

of a group can give you a sense of wellbeing and joy. This is about an overall sense of wellbeing. A lot of choirs are almost semiprofessional and people have to audition. Ours is open to anyone. It is all about singing for joy, so come along and join us”.

£1,800 donation for campfire singsongs A SCARBOROUGH scout group will celebrate its 70th anniversary in style, thanks to a £1,800 donation from the Ourco charity shop.

The 42nd Scarborough (St Mark’s) scout group is based in a wooden hut which is as old as it is, at the side of St Mark’s Church in Newby.

About 40 of the group’s 50 leaders, scouts, beavers and cubs are planning to attend a 70th anniversary camp at Birch

Hall near Langdale End from 4-9 September.

Their uniforms will be adorned with an anniversary badge designed by Isaac Robinson.

Former members are being invited to join the celebration on the Wednesday evening, from 7pm, says group scout leader Nick Jones. “We will be singing round the campfires”, Nick adds.

Ourco volunteers Andrew and Sally Baron visited the scout

hut to formally present the group with a bumper cheque.

They are pictured in the middle at the back, with Nick.

The group was launched on 5 July 1949.

Ourco is based in Northway, near the Stephen Joseph theatre. Donations of clothes, etc, are welcome.

20TH APR - 20TH MAY

Quite a bright money month with a bit of extra cash coming in from more than just a single source. Work patterns are more or less routine, and there is the threat of a bit of boredom creeping in before month’s end.

Romantic outlook is encouraging, especially between the 15th and 24th – and providing you’re in a position to accept what’s on offer.

Work projects could be a bit soggy and boggy – and not for the first time this year, you’ll be looking for fresh inspiration. Finances reasonably okay on the condition you exercise more self-discipline. Expect quite a big bill mid-month! Quite a flat month socially, which just goes to show you need to get out more! Where have all the old friends gone?

23RD AUG - 22ND SEPT

You will be presented with an unusual business opportunity. Your initial reaction will be to say “no”, but maybe you should think it through, because in the mid and long term, it could be of serious benefit. Someone else’s problems dominate your emotions and thoughts during the middle of the month, and while you can be sympathetic, that’s about the strength of it.

Someone from your past could cause a problem in your present, but only if you give them the opportunity – so don’t!

Small ways at first, leading to bigger things later on.

Parents may have to take a strong position in connection with children and their discipline – or lack of it!

Not a lot of support from partners, so you’re on your own! Curiously, however, there is a very strong romantic vibe reaching out to envelope younger members of the sign, and this could be an exciting and educational period for those in their teens.

In a reversal of fortune, a colleague, boss or workmate now starts messing you about – and you might have to take drastic action to nip a problem in the bud. Niggling health issues may also concern you at this time,

Cyclists raise £700 for RNLI TWO cyclists had the wind in their backs and just one puncture when they pedalled to Scarborough in aid of the RNLI. Nick White, a member of Blackpool lifeboat crew, and best mate Chris Rhodes have raised about £700, although the

money is still coming in.

The proceeds will be shared between Scarborough and Blackpool lifeboats.

Their 153-mile journey involved sleepovers in Skipton and York before arriving at Scarborough lifeboathouse.

They were

greeted by a team of lifeboat personnel.

- HOW TO HELP Volunteer in the shop

Join the crew

Volunteering shifts in the shop last three hours and there is a morning and afternoon shift. The job involves using a till with a barcode system, topping up shelves and giving information regarding the RNLI and the station.

Volunteers must be willing to be woken up in the early hours of the morning ready to sail out to sea in the cold and dark when an emergency happens. To become a lifeboat crew member you need to be between 17-55 and pass a medical and eyesight test as well as being physically fit and live or work nearby. Regular training is undertaken by crew members and it’s essential that you enjoy hard physical work.

Coastguard from down under drops in to say kia ora SCARBOROUGH RNLI gained an insight into the way lives are saved at sea on the other side of the world when a Kiwi coastguard dropped in to say hello.

Greg Thomson, 33, is a crew member with the New Zealand coastguard based at the Marine Rescue Centre in Mechanics Bay, Auckland.

He was on a four-week visit to the UK with his wife Katie and their baby Eva. Katie is from Hornsea and emigrated to New Zealand to work as an intensive-care nurse. They were in Scarborough for a week, staying with family friends.

Greg is one of 130 operational volunteers at his centre on the north island and one of 2,300 volunteers nationally.

Of the country’s 62 coastguard units, Auckland has nine, covering the Hauraki Gulf.

Greg’s unit responded to 450 calls for assistance last year, helping 1,342 people.

The unit has three lifeboats named after key sponsors: Lion Foundation Rescue, a 15m

foil-assisted catamaran with twin 750hp Scania jets capable of 37 knots and a range of 400 nautical miles; Trillian Rescue Alpha, a 9.5m Naiad inflatable with twin 250hp outboards; and Trillian Trust Rescue, a new 15m mono-hull, propellerdriven Naiad inflatable with twin 750hp Scania engines.

They share part of a marina with the marine police and harbour master.

The lifeboats patrol the intricate coastline, full of inlets and islands, and are contacted by radio when needed.

A typical shout involves towing boats which have broken down or run out of fuel.

A big search recently involved several boats and a helicopter when a swimmer was reported missing but was eventually found safe and well.

A key difference between Auckland and Scarborough is that Auckland’s coastguard units are constantly patrolling during the weekend when boating activity is at its highest. They operate a rotating duty-boat roster with

other coastguard units during the week. Greg is on a roster for Trillian Rescue Alpha and signs up for a shift of 8-10 hours every three weeks.

“We meet at 9.30am, do our checks then radio in to coastguard operations to advise we are crewed and available for a tasking”, Greg says. “If we are quiet, there are many seaside cafés to drop into for a coffee or even breakfast. If the day is warm enough, a swim is always on the cards”.

Greg works as a transport logistics coordinator, assisting in the management of a large fleet of trucks and dealing with customers.

He is full of admiration for the RNLI and was impressed with Scarborough’s lifeboathouse and lifeboats. “To me, the RNLI is the epitome of a lifeboat service”, he said. “You go out in the worst weather and handle all sorts of scary situations. I like the way you take great pride in and respect your past and the whole culture of lifesaving”.

A shoreline search, a harbour rescue and a yacht tow SCARBOROUGH RNLI has responded to several requests for help by the coastguard over the last month.

One Saturday evening, the inshore lifeboat was tasked to search for a missing man.

A shoreline search between Cayton Bay and Filey Brigg failed to locate the man, who was found later by the police.

A few days later, RNLI lifeguards helped rescue a man who fell in the sea at the harbour mouth.

The man, in his 40s, was seen by two holidaymakers as he plunged into the water. One jumped in and pulled the man to safety. The other alerted

nearby beach lifeguards who entered the water to help.

Members of the RNLI on duty at the nearby lifeboat station helped provide first-aid and a defibrillator until an ambulance arrived. The man was treated at the hospital.

His father expressed his “most sincere gratitude to everyone involved in the rescue”.

PC Jonathan Dillon of Scarborough police added: “The two holidaymakers quickly raised the alarm and entered the water alongside lifeguards. Hospital staff and the man’s father are in no doubt that, had it not been for their quick-thinking and

selfless actions, along with further rescue assistance from the RNLI lifeboat station staff, his son would certainly not be present today”.

Several other agencies were involved in the rescue including Scarborough and Burniston Coastguard and Yorkshire Air Ambulance.

A helicopter landing site was set up and a cordon put in place but in the end a helicopter wasn’t required.

On another occasion, the all-

weather Shannon lifeboat was launched when rope snared a yacht’s propeller.

The lifeboat, with a crew of six, didn’t have far to go as the 11m yacht was in the south bay.

The rescue boat was launched at 8.46pm and was on scene a few minutes later. The yacht was towed into the harbour.

Andy Volans, lifeboat operations manager, said: “It was a straightforward rescue operation, the kind our volunteer crews train for week in, week out”.

To the rescue: Scarborough’s inshore lifeboat

Free water-safety skills sessions for children CHILDREN aged 7–14 will be able to learn vital watersafety skills for free, as Swim England and the RNLI’s Swim Safe programme returns this August.

The fun, hour-long sessions will take place at the Beach Management Centre in the North Bay, Scarborough, from 5-9 and 19-23 August.

Young people will be taught how to swim safely outdoors and what to do if they, or someone else, get into difficulty in the water.

Booking is essential. To book a free place, go to swimsafe.org. uk/locations.

The funds to run the programme were raised as part of the Andrew McGeown Legacy Fund. Andrew was a well-loved local man who died after going into the water to rescue his dog, despite efforts by Scarborough RNLI volunteer lifeboat crew to rescue him.

Children must be able to swim 25 metres unaided to take part.

The sessions begin with them receiving water-safety advice on land, before heading into the water for practical tuition with qualified instructors.

Children only need to bring their swim suit and a towel, as all the kit to take part,

A Swim Safe lesson in the sea (photo by Nathan Williams)

including wetsuits, swim hats and flotation equipment, is provided. They will get free

Swim Safe goodies to take home.

RNLI lifeguard supervisor Helen Peterson says: “Children love swimming outdoors, but it’s very different to swimming in a pool, where most children learn to swim. It’s essential that children learn where it is safe to swim, how to stay safe and what to do if they get into trouble.

“We want all children to grow up learning these vital life skills.

Our partnership with Swim England has enabled us to run these sessions for free. They are a chance for parents and carers to get advice on helping their children stay safe around open water”.

Bridlington RNLI is also running sessions based at South Beach, Princess Mary Promenade, from 12-16 August.

Swim England and the RNLI created Swim Safe in 2013 with a single activity at Bude in Cornwall. Having grown year on year, Swim Safe will this year be running at 36 beach and inland water locations across England, Scotland, Wales, the Channel Islands and the Isle of Man. The programme aims to support the UK Drowning Prevention Strategy’s aim of reducing accidental drowning by 50% by 2026. n For more information about Swim Safe, visit swimsafe.org.uk.

Wristbands help reunite Busy summer for lifeguards lost children with parents

Tyler Hall models a wristband

THE RNLI and the coastguard have launched a wristband scheme to help lost children find their parents or guardians.

Last summer, 61 children were reunited with their adults by lifeguards on the beaches in Scarborough’s north and south bays, Cayton and Filey plus 69 at beaches in the East Riding.

This year, the life-saving charity, in cooperation with the coastguard, is introducing an initiative aimed at reducing that number.

Parents and guardians are

being invited to write their mobile phone number on a free paper wristband which is available at lifeboat and lifeguard stations and shops all along the Yorkshire coast.

If and when a child is unfortunate enough to become separated from the adults he or she is with, lifeguards can simply ring and reunite them.

This should drastically reduce the time families are separated meaning less time worrying and more time enjoying our stunning coastline and beaches.

Scarborough’s south beach

RNLI lifeguards in Scarborough had a busy start to the season as the temperature reached 26 degrees.

Daily patrols started on Saturday 29 June, when the

south-bay beach had over 30,000 visitors. Most were there for Armed Forces Day. It was the busiest start to the season in recent memory.

Lifeguards on other parts of

the Yorkshire coast dealt with numerous incidents including over 20 missing children. They assisted the RNLI lifeboat crew and the coastguard with a major incident including a diver suspected of suffering with the bends.

Lifeguard supervisor Dave Brant said: “The number of visitors at the weekend was unprecedented. Our lifeguards did incredible work to keep beachgoers safe despite the challenging number of visitors.

Luckily, the busiest part of the day coincided with high tide. Had it been low tide, we would’ve dealt with a lot more incidents and a lot more missing children”. n For more information on how to stay safe on the coast this summer, visit www.rnli.org.uk.

No Sunday morning lie-in for lifeboat crew WHEN most people were enjoying a nice Sunday morning lie-in, Scarborough RNLI was up with the larks for an exercise which formed a crucial part of the charity’s ongoing training programme.

The early risers included Scarborough Tec media makeup tutor Kelly Carr, who

applied realistic and rather gruesome injuries to six volunteer ‘casualties’ from the RNLI’s Face to Face team.

Kelly and her students often simulate wounds for training at the hospital. This was her first event for the RNLI. The scenario: a small fishing boat developed engine failure

The inshore lifeboat reaches the fishing boat

and caught fire in the south bay. The situation was triaged and the pretend casualties were treated aboard the vessel before being taken ashore by the inshore lifeboat.

A certain amount of acting was required. Jess Hopkin, for example, landed the role of a young woman whose

injury was relatively slight yet insisted she be treated first.

The participants included numerous RNLI personnel and lifeguards, two of whom paddled out on surfboards to assist. * In a separate exercise, Scarborough and Whitby’s allweather lifeboats teamed up

for a joint exercise more or less where their boundaries meet. They launched at 9am, rendezvoused off Robin Hoods Bay and took turns towing each other.

Town’s old lifeboat has new life in Chile SCARBOROUGH RNLI’s old Mersey lifeboat is enjoying a new life in Chile.

The Fanny Victoria Wilkinson and Frank Stubbs was replaced by the new £2m Shannon lifeboat, Frederick William Plaxton, in 2016. Both were named after benefactors.

The lifesaving vessel, which served Scarborough well for a quarter of a century, was sold by the RNLI to the Chilean rescue service in 2018. It is based in Valparaíso.

The Mersey was the 18th all-weather lifeboat to be stationed at Scarborough over

the last 215 years.

The photo of the Mersey on patrol off the Chilean coast are by telecommunications officer Andres Lopez Castro who, like most of Scarborough’s crew, is a volunteer.

Collections were taken along the seafront, in the town centre and at Proudfoots in Newby.

On Sunday, Rev Richard Walker, lifeboat chaplain and vicar of St Mary’s, conducted a church service in the lifeboat station.

The Shannon lifeboat was moved onto the slipway so Scarborough RNLI personnel

could line up at the big door, facing the congregation.

The service was organised by Cllr Janet Jefferson, who gave the first reading. Other readings were given by Colin Woodhead, who chairs Scarborough RNLI; Sub-Lieutenant Natalie Davies of the Sea Cadets; Captain Peter Simpson, who chairs the Wilson Mariners Homes; Captain Chris

Drink or drug drivers are ‘idiots’ - police FIFTEEN drink or drug drivers in North Yorkshire have been banned for a total of 28 years.

They are among 141 motorists arrested during a month-long campaign to tackle a summer surge in drink and drug driving in the county.

It has prompted police to warn motorists: “Our summer campaign may have ended, but we’re committed to catching offenders all year round”.

The longest ban so far was just over four years, given to a woman from York after she blew three times the legal drink drive limit. She was fined £170 and given a 250-hour community order.

Roads policing sergeant Andy Morton said: “Our push to tackle a summertime surge in drink and drug driving has once again yielded some shocking results. The fact some people still think it’s acceptable to drive when they’re several times over the drink drive limit is, frankly, staggering. Fortunately, the courts take a similarly dim view. As we continue to catch drink and drug drivers all year round, the courts will continue to hand out lengthy bans, fines and community orders.

“If you drive under the influence, you’re an idiot. If you don’t do it and don’t like people

www.thescarboroughreview.com putting lives in danger, tell us about it. Call us on 101 to pass on information about people who drink or do drugs then drive. Or if you see someone driving or about to drive when they’re under the influence, phone 999 immediately”.

Well over 500 breath tests were conducted during the campaign period. 48 of the arrests were drug related, with 46 being as a result of positive roadside drug screening tests. The remainder were alcohol related.

Men were once again disproportionately represented in the statistics, with 82% of arrests being males.

However, the highest breathalyser reading taken during the campaign was from a woman who was arrested in York and blew 129 – more than three times the legal limit.

Grateful youngsters treat hosts to afternoon tea SEVEN young people who were facing homelessness have treated their hosts to afternoon tea in Scarborough.

They prepared afternoon tea for the hosts who welcomed them into their homes through a youth-homelessness charity.

Aged 17-20, they attended a six-week cookery course at the Rainbow Centre, thanks to its manager Trisha Kinsella. The classes were led by Jan Harding, a former food-technology teacher who volunteered her time.

Under Jan’s watchful eye, the youngsters prepared a picnic spread of quiche, sausage rolls, sandwiches, scones and a red velvet cake. Jan said: “I’ve been really impressed by their commitment. They have been really good. One lad was scared even to use a frying pan

at first, but he came in today and straight away offered to fry the onions for the quiche.

They’ve all been practising at home and their confidence has really grown, and now they’ve done this!”

Sash, which stands for Safe and Sound Homes, helps 16-25 year-olds avoid homelessness by offering a place to stay in the homes of volunteer hosts, keeping them safe at a time of crisis.

Last year, the charity helped around 90 young people in the area through its emergency Nightstop accommodation and longer term supported lodgings services.

As well as providing a safe place to live, the charity helps young people develop the independent living skills they need to live on their own.

Young people, hosts and staff at the Rainbow Centre tea party

This includes workshops and practical sessions on budgeting, shopping, tenancies and cooking.

Sash has around 30 hosts in Scarborough and Ryedale but urgently needs more. “Our hosts are people of all ages and different life stages”, said operations manager Adele Coupe. “Hosting with Sash can fit around existing commitments. We provide full training, ongoing support and small financial benefits.

If you have a spare room and would like to help, please get in touch”.

Last year, Sash helped 320 young people when they had nowhere else to turn, many of whom were aged 16-18. n To find out more, ring Adele on 01904 652043 or visit www.sashuk.org.uk.

Old hospital on market £2.25m THE former St Thomas’s Hospital on Scarborough seafront is up for sale for £2.25m.

The three-storey, grade IIlisted building opened as the Royal Northern Sea Bathing Infirmary in 1860.

The registered owners are local businessmen Joe Ledden and Brian Thompson.

The ground floor at the front has been converted into six shops whose annual income exceeds £120,000, according to the firm marketing it.

The upper floors, which are vacant, have planning permission to be turned into flats.

The 0.527-acre site includes the former nurses’ home at the back, which has big holes in the roof and is used as a roost by thousands of starlings in the winter.

Designed by William Baldwin Stewart, the former Victorian hospital has a dignified composition with a rusticated stone podium, tall round-

headed windows in yellow brick walls and shallowpitched roofs, according to

£40,000 for local causes from selling 5p carrier bags A Scarborough retailer has raised over £40,000 for local causes by selling 5p carrier bags to customers.

Proudfoot’s five stores have been raising money for good causes in this way since the introduction of the 5p carrier bag charge in 2015.

The latest beneficiary, Scarborough Sea Cadets, received £2,500 to help develop their base in East Sandgate, near the harbour.

The work will enable more groups from around the country to visit and enjoy the local area and its facilities.

The unit, which is celebrating its centenary this year, aims to give young people an

experience that will help them grow into the person they want to be in a safe and friendly environment.

Through various activities and adventures, they learn teamwork, respect, loyalty, self-confidence, commitment, self-discipline, honesty and how to be the best version of ourselves.

Area staff officer Gareth Davis commented: “As an independent charity, we rely on local community support to ensure we can offer the young cadets from the town the best opportunities possible through nautical adventure and fun”.

Valerie Aston added: “Despite seeing a huge decline in the usage of single-use carrier bags in our stores following the introduction of the 5p charge, we are delighted that the funds raised from the remaining carrier bags bought by our customers are able to support some fantastic local causes.

“As a retailer we are committed both to reducing our environmental impact where possible and giving something back to the community we serve. We hope the funds raised through the carrier bag charge will have a positive impact on the local area”.

SCARBOROUGH TALES

By Joe Coates

When I was researching this Scarborough Tale, I was very pleased to see that Charles Laughton had been educated at Scarborough College. I used to work there, as a teacher, happy days, and I’ve already heard of many children I have taught who have gone on to notable significant careers. Let’s see what happened to Charles Laughton!

PLEASE LET ME BECOME AN ACTOR “Please! Please! Let me train to be an actor!”

Eliza and Robert Laughton were managers and owners of the Victoria Hotel, just across the road from the railway station. They expected Charles Laughton, as their oldest child, to become the manager in due course. There were two younger brothers, who would help, though Charles would be manager. He attended Scarborough College and later Stonyhurst College to complete his education.

Charles did some hotel management training at Claridges in London. He spent his spare time at the theatres, and a growing urge to become an actor just grew and grew.

His life, as for many, was interrupted by World War 1.

Charles was in national service, fighting for his country.

On his return to Scarborough, Charles Laughton started acting in local theatrical performances, and the urge to be a professional actor grew.

At last, his parents conceded, and let him go to theatre

training at RADA, the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art. It was 1925. Charles was 26. A younger brother would manage the hotel!

After training, Charles stayed in London watching and performing in plays in the city’s theatres. He was able to play both modern and classical roles. No-one knew then that Charles Laughton would become one of the most famous actors ever, and he was born and brought up in Scarborough.

“I’m getting better and better at this acting! I think I’ll go to America!”

Read this in an American accent! “This year’s Hollywood Academy award for Best Actor goes to Charles Laughton for his amazing role as the leading character in The Private life of Henry VIII. This movie is an international success and Charles Laughton is a boxoffice star. You can’t take your eyes off him!”

It wasn’t long before Charles settled in Hollywood. His lack of a muscular physique and not being handsome, alongside a gift of being able to take on intensive character roles, made him ideal for such roles as Jean Valjean in Les Miserables, and Quasimodo, in the Hunchback of Notre Dame. The movies kept coming: The Barrets of Wimpole Street, Mutiny on the Bounty, Jamaica Inn, several Shakespearian titles and many more.

I wonder, as the applause echoed around the arena, whether he said to himself, “Charles Laughton, all the way from The Victoria Hotel, Scarborough, the North Riding of Yorkshire, England. Made it!

Thank you parents for letting me go!”

Charles also had success as a director, producer, and screenwriter on stage and in films. He stayed in Hollywood and continued “in the business” until the late 1950s. His final movie was Night Of The Hunter, critically acclaimed and way before it’s time. Charles Laughton died in 1962, from cancer. He had married actress Elsa Lanchester, though they had no children.

Meanwhile, back in Scarborough, younger brother Tom had been making a name for himself as well, though that’s another tale to tell. Find out all about Tom Laughton at Scarborough Art Galary, well worth a visit. © joecoates2019 www.northbaytales.com Whenever I’m at a YMCA production, or an amateur production, which is quite often, I wonder how many of these enthusiastic actors and singers will go on to a career

in the theatre or in film. I know of quite a few who have. Is there another who will one day show the stature and reach the success of Charles Laughton and become the international box-office star he was?

I wonder!

More pupils are reading for fun via literacy project CHILDREN are getting more pleasure out of reading than ever before at a Scarborough school.

Gladstone Road Primary is taking part in the National Literacy Trust’s young readers programme, aimed at encouraging pupils to read for enjoyment.

“This is incredibly important for many reasons”, explained school librarian Kelsie Newill.

“Research shows it helps to improve children’s learning across all subjects”.

Speaking before the school broke up for the summer holiday, Kelsie said: “We chose to offer this to our year-3 children who will be taking part in three events, one in year 3 and two in the autumn term of year 4”.

At the school’s first event as part of the project, children

took part in drama, illustration and storytelling workshops based on a desert island theme, with rooms decorated accordingly.

Children then chose a book, with their parents/carers, to keep. The books were selected by year-3 teachers for their interest, challenge and enjoyment.

Kelsie said: “The children are excited and over the two terms will have three books of their own to keep and enjoy.

It is exciting to be part of this project and we hope it helps develop a real love of reading throughout school”.

A National Literacy Trust spokesperson added: “Many children in disadvantaged areas leave primary school unable to read well. Through the programme, we give children in these areas a

chance to choose new books to keep through a series of fun events”.

Last year, a quarter of children left primary school unable to read properly. This increases to 40% for children from disadvantaged backgrounds.

A love of reading can change their lives.

The programme has been running for over 20 years. It has given 1.1m books to 384,000 children. In the most recent evaluation of the programme, all teachers said they had noticed positive changes in children’s reading enjoyment.

95% said children were more motivated to read after taking part in the project. 93% felt the project had a positive impact on children’s reading skills.

93% said children were proud to have books of their own.

Happy readers, L-R, Kate Roach, Matilda Roach, Lily Smith, Harry Evan, Lucy Gillispie and Terri Gillispie. The children are all aged eight (to order photos ring 353597)

A Local Business with National Coverage

Advertorial

Peace of Mind Financial Solutions Limited (POMFS) opened for business in August 2007 and started trading from a small office in Alma Square. From those small beginnings the business has today developed into a client focused business which operates from their Falsgrave Road office.

Managing director Nigel Wood says “our team of 17 highly trained advisers cover the whole of the UK, and will deal with clients anywhere” Locally we have a team of 4 advisers. These local advisers are: GEOFF HILL Started as a Financial Adviser in 1987 and has specialised in mortgage and protection since 2006. He has extensive knowledge in all areas of mortgage and protection and is always on hand to help and support clients through the whole procedure. Clients return to Geoff for their remortgage and are always happy to refer him to their friends and family, building up a large client base.

KAYLEIGH STEPHENSON Began working as a mortgage adviser in 2014, working within the private sector and joined POMFS in October 2017, taking over from David Fletcher a long-standing mortgage adviser with POMFS. Kayleigh works along side 4 Walls Estate Agency in Scarborough and Bridlington and Lisa Crowe Estate Agent in Malton; she is always happy to look at any circumstances and

situations, always going the extra mile for her clients.

JAMES TOAL James began working in financial services in 2015, and has been a fully qualified mortgage and protection adviser since September 2017 and has recently become a qualified Equity Release adviser.

He is knowledgeable in all aspects of the Help to Buy scheme and is always happy to discuss different options with clients, supporting his clients through the whole process from start to finish.

James works alongside CPH Property Services and Ellis Hay Estate Agents in Scarborough and also DMA Estate Agents in Filey.

They are supported by an experienced office based team who are invaluable in the day to day running and development of POMFS. A BUSINESS BASED UPON

TRUST AND ETHICS Peace of Mind Financial Solutions Ltd does what it says on the box. One of its cornerstone principles is that ‘The Client is King’.

It works alongside Estate Agents in order for them to maximise the turnover in sales by minimising any potential financial impediments and reducing risks so as to provide a seamless ‘one stop shop’ so far as the financial aspects of property transactions is concerned.

The Company’s advisors are highly trained and experienced and one of the company’s ongoing aspirations is to build a lifelong relationship with its Clients.” We don’t see our job as a ‘quick fix’ to a transient situation, moreover we are available at any time of day and night to provide independent advice and to support our Clients over the longer haul” says Nigel. This year Peace of Mind Financial Solutions Ltd is predicting they will handle nearly 1500 mortgage transactions, a far cry from the modest embryonic business which germinated 12 years ago.

The Company has always placed customer satisfaction high on its list of objectives and sees business today as not only a quantitative process but also, importantly, a qualitatively driven one where the way in which analysis and advice is provided is valued and so important. “We pride ourselves on our professionalism and

honesty” says Nigel. This has been recognised by our customer feedback and within the industry where the Company have achieved several national awards from its compliance and business support network.

THE DIRECTION OF TRAVEL So, what now for Peace of Mind Financial Solutions Ltd? “Our strength is our staff” says Nigel, “something of a cliché I know but vital if we are to retain and expand our customer base. We will continue to develop our core business of Mortgage advice but we now offer a broader portfolio of financial service advice which has expanded to meet Clients’ needs. The whole spectrum of Lifelong financial planning is so important, especially in volatile times, and our service now goes beyond the buying and selling of property. We want our Clients to have ‘The Peace of Mind’ that good financial advice can give. Clients transactions, especially on the buying and selling of property, can be stressful and the protection of those assets against the vagaries of a modern world needs to be robust.”

The Company reflects Nigel’s dynamism and with a full financial service offering it is in a good position to meet the everchanging world of financial services and to look after, in a holistic way, all its clients’ financial needs.

It continues to invest in its staff, business and the local

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

Muck & Magic

BY HEATHER ELVIDGE

BY SHEILA JOHNSON

Just add water August delights

THE hardest job that any gardener has to learn is how to water properly. After the heatwave we have just experienced, the main topic of conversation in the muck and magic garden has been how, and when, to water. And, of course, the problem is made worse when you know you are going to be away on holiday and you really don’t want to come home to ‘sun dried tomatoes’ in the green house. So here are the muck and magic top tips for watering in August.

Know what to water and what you can leave alone. Both are equally important. Lawns, established trees and shrubs can manage by finding their own water source. Grass may look a little parched but it will recover. However, newly planted shrubs must be watered throughout the heatwave as their root system won’t have established sufficiently for them to find water independently.

Water hanging baskets, boxes and pots either early morning or late evening (or both) when it’s cooler and the water is less likely to evaporate away before your plants have had a chance to have a good drink. The same goes for the green house and the conservatory – early watering is best. In the muck and magic greenhouse we have covered the benches with capillary matting which we find useful in the hot weather.

Because the matting holds the water for longer rather than allowing it to drain away, plants will utilise the moist conditions and you can go out for the day safe in the knowledge that your

plants have access to water if they need it.

Use as much ‘grey’ water as you can. So, put the washing up water on the garden, not down the sink!

For next season, if you are able to afford to invest in baskets that have an integral water reservoir underneath your plants will reap the benefit.

You won’t have to water quite so much and the plants will benefit from a steady source of water rather than the wet-dry regime that traditional baskets offer.

If the worst happens and your baskets and boxes do dry out they can be pretty difficult to rewet with the water tending to run off instead of soak in. If you have a supply of ice cubes, pile them on top of the compost and let the water trickle in slowly as it melts, allowing it to resoak properly.

Finally, watering tomatoes in the greenhouse in the heat is always tricky. We tend to let them get dry and then over compensate by watering the plants too much. This is often the cause of “blossom end rot” where the bottom end of the fruit goes brown and very soggy. If you recognise these symptoms, try to even out your watering so your plants are never too wet or too dry. And remember, that if you want to enjoy your holiday safe in the knowledge that your plants are thriving whilst you are away, cultivate a good neighbour who will pop round to your house every day and keep an eye on your prize blooms.

Happy Gardening!

IN recent weeks we’ve seen every kind of cloud, from fair-weather puffs of cotton wool to those billowing grey monsters lit up by lightning.

We’ve also enjoyed, or maybe endured, a record-breaking spell of hot air from southern Europe.

Those hot days brought out butterflies, and we look forward to seeing more of our native species this month. Look out for peacocks displaying their dark wings with the eerie eyespots, colourful small tortoiseshells, and the comma, a lovely orange-and-russet with wiggly edges to its wings.

Conservationists need to know how populations fluctuate, and we can help. The annual count ends on August 11, so visit bigbutterflycount. org now to download an identification chart and submit your sightings. Expect to add some painted ladies to your tally — warm winds have brought large numbers across from the continent.

After spending the winter in North Africa, this robust species sets off on a kind of relay marathon. It’s going to be a long trip, so the painted ladies stop to feed and lay eggs — thistles are the caterpillars’ preferred food — then the new butterflies fly the next leg.

Five or six stopovers may be necessary before they reach their destination, which for some is Iceland.

In August a fresh generation should emerge here, to sip nectar in our gardens. Their distinctive wings of pale

orange-pink and silvery-grey, with black and white marks at the tips, make painted ladies easy to recognise. When summer ends these butterflies will head out to sea, riding high-level winds back to Africa.

This is a good month for a moorland walk, wrapped in the scent from millions of tiny purple bells. Most of the heather is ling, a wiry plant with tiny leaves. It thrives in the acid soil of the North York Moors where it grows a metre high, if left uncut. In the past moor-dwellers made brooms, baskets and bedding from it, and used the tough plant to thatch their roofs.

On a hot day a moorland yomp could be too taxing, so how about an hour or two spent beachcombing? It’s cooler by the sea, and finding a “treasure” in the sand is always a thrill. As we amble absentmindedly, bustling turnstones demonstrate their method, briskly flipping pebbles in their search for sandhoppers or bits of sandwich.

Beaches in bygone days provided free firewood and extra income, especially after a storm or shipwreck.

A receding tide leaves things behind: flotsam (stuff that floats), and jetsam (things thrown or lost from a boat).

Searchers could find anything, from a silver groat to a chest of tools.

Today’s would-be beachcomber finds plastic, tangled kelp and marooned sealife, such as weeny crabs and dead starfish. But we’re

collecting for pleasure so shells, sea-smoothed glass, and interesting pebbles will do nicely. Could that be amber, or carnelian? Maybe, if we’re lucky. Bits of jet can turn up between Robin’s Hood Bay and Saltburn.

As for real treasure — coins or lost jewellery — serious beachcombers walk the sands in the early morning or late evening, using the low sun to catch a glint. No metal detectors for them.

Traditionalists rely on a trained eye to spot small objects partly buried in the sand. They also check around posts and other man-made structures, and rocks where things can get trapped. Tempted to have a go? Take care not to disturb the creatures that live in the rock pools and of course, check the tides.

It’s lucky to see a shooting star, isn’t it? Yet our forebears thought the opposite. Seeing a falling star was a sign of calamity. They believed that stars — a word that included comets, meteors, and planets — could influence destiny for good or ill.

How they must have dreaded the Perseids. Our favourite meteor shower is happening now, as Earth passes through debris left by comet SwiftTuttle. Bright, long-tailed Perseids can appear in any part of the sky.

During the shower’s peak in the early hours of August 12 and 13, an almost-full moon will drown all but the brightest. But shooting stars are visible during the run-up and afterwards, so chance a look from now until August 20.

Although most appear after midnight, evenings are worth trying too.

The month of holiday fun wraps up with a Bank Holiday.

It’s the last before Christmas, so it had better be good. But August is the first harvest month, bearing hints of the season to come. Seeds, fruit, and berries ripen; summer’s lush greens become sated and dull. By the month’s end the early mornings have a fresh, autumnal feel. However, August may bow out with a smile, and then September will be very pleasant.

What’s all the fossil about?

THE age of fossil fuels may soon be coming to an end, but its history is fascinating and instructive. For most of human history we burned wood and sometimes charcoal for cooking and keeping warm, but in the eighteenth century Britain led the world into the new age of coal. Houses and craft industries converted to the use of coal, while the east coast became a highway for ships carrying cheap coal from the northeast to the rapidly growing capital. London’s population grew tenfold in 200 years, to reach 500,000 by 1700. By this time 80 per cent

of the coal being mined in Europe was dug in Britain.

But moving coal around before the days of rail was not easy.

Roads were poor; if you had no access to a river or canal your coal would have to be hauled over rough tracks by horsedrawn wagon. The alternative was to dig your own coal, so that’s what people set out to do.

We expect to see coal in West and South Yorkshire but evidence of coal mining is plentiful right here on the North York Moors. Most coal comes from rocks of Carboniferous age. Around

350 million years ago large parts of northern Europe and North America were covered in forests which have been preserved as coal. But there were plants in the much later Jurassic period and some of these were preserved as coal too.

Before the days of seismic measurement or power-drilled boreholes, surveyors traced seams of coal along the steep sides of dales such as Fryup and figured out where to dig down from the surface above.

Shafts were dug vertically down 40 metres and the seams worked outwards by men crawling along narrow passageways.

The coal mines above Fryup were active for about fifty years, before being killed off, first by the 1849 California goldrush (young men took their chances there in preference to spending their lives at the bottom of a Yorkshire pit!) and then by the railways bringing cheap coal from Durham and Barnsley.

The moors, now so tranquil, echoed for a generation to the sound of picks and shovels.

And because the moors are so uninhabited the remains of industries like coal, iron, alum and jet are still there.

The weeping wych elm and other tree tales Local artist Dav White talks about the fascinating world of history, art and mythology THE Welsh phrase ‘Dod yn ôl at fy nghoed’ means ‘to return to my trees’ or ‘to return to a balanced state of mind’.

In 2015, a tree-preservation order was granted by Scarborough Council for a Yorkshire champion tree on a brownfield site at the lower end of Dean Road.

It is an excellent example of the weeping wych elm and the sixth largest in the country.

It is the biggest in Yorkshire but not the tallest, beaten in height - only by a few twigs and leaves - by one in the old cholera burial ground near the city walls outside York railway station. Scarborough’s elm is much grander, in my opinion.

Not many under the age of 50 will recognise a mature elm tree because the species is nearly gone, wiped out

by Dutch elm disease. Many elms lined various roads on Scarborough’s housing estates but, alas, have had to be removed. Old aerial photos of the housing estates around Peasholm Park clearly show them. At certain times of the year mushrooms, still breaking down the nutrients in an elm’s roots, appear to remind us of a tree’s former presence.

The elm is particularly prone to disease because the species is mostly cloned in a process which created genetic vulnerabilities. There are still plenty of small elms around but, sadly, they don’t mature.

The weeping wych on Dean Road seems to have benefited from its urban concealment, managing to hide away among the buildings from the elm bark beetles that spread Dutch-elm disease.

Another great Scarborough elm worth a look can be found further up the same street, in

The writer Robert Graves, a friend of war poet Wilfred Owen, studied traditional Welsh legend, notably the 14th century poem Cad Goddeu or The Battle of the Trees. In it, the ancient druid Gwydion animates the trees for war. Graves understood that the trees involved in the poem corresponded to letters in the ancient Ogham alphabet. He argued that the battle wasn’t physical but a struggle of wits, language and concealed secrets; the last stand of an older religion, with a different style of recording and documenting to ours.

His idea went on to inspire

Tolkien’s The Last March of the Ents from the Lord of the Rings saga. Ogham, an ancient written language, is rare in Yorkshire, but is inscribed on the Hackness cross. As the elm is associated with the crossroads to the underworld, Ogham for elm is a simple cross.

Former Scarborough mayor and builder Abraham Moore used the names of trees to spell out an abbreviation of his name, Abe Mor, on the avenues off Dean Road: Ashville, Beechville, Elmville, Mayville, Oakville and Roseville.

DavWhiteArt.com

The weeping wych elm in Dean Road

Dean Road cemetery. It’s on the east circle as you enter the grounds via the Columbus Ravine gate.

The word wych means pliable, to describe the quality of wood, not its association with witches, who were said to shun the elm. The link with the underworld and on the crossroads to it made the elm a popular choice for coffin wood. “Elm hateth man and waiteth” is an old saying. The weeping describes the shape of the tree, which bends out and down over its base rather than upwards. Its nature is to spread wide across the floor, taking full advantage of the space around the trunk. Elms were once a popular boundary marker, found in hedges and at land borders.

Elm trunks, whatever the variety, are textured and like landscapes, producing a mesh of cross-angled diamond valleys and ridges, with the translucent 30-denier tan that is found in stockings. The English painter John Constable made a great but tiny study of

an elm trunk but instead of using browns and tans he used blues and turquoise to create a verdant shade. It’s in the V&A Museum in London.

Elm wood, like oak, is strong and dense. It has a long maritime history and was used by the Royal Navy in the age of sail. Admiral Cuthbert Collingwood, who fought alongside Lord Nelson at Trafalgar, famously spent his spare time planting trees, “so England would never want for strong wood for her navy”. He encouraged all gentlemen to do the same.

Solid elm trunks were bored to produce long, strong cylinders.

The word boring, first used by Byron to mean tedious, comes from describing this repetitive and difficult job.

Trees, urban and rural, are important landmarks and often revered if particularly old, shapely or have a story or legend attached. Famous and infamous trees include the Tyburn oak in London, an ancient place of execution; the royal oak in Shropshire, in

which Charles II hid from the Roundheads; the major oak in Sherwood Forest, a shelter for Robin Hood; the Ankerwycke yew at Runnymede, where King John sealed the Magna Carta; the Flower of Kent apple tree in Lincolnshire, where Isaac Newton discovered gravity; the Skyrack in Leeds, an ancient meeting place; the old field maple outside Thirsk that was used for councils; and the Glastonbury thorn, reputed to have been planted by Joseph of Arimathea, steeped in grail legend and Monty Python lampoonery but cut down recently by vandals.

The largest weeping wych elm in Britain was in the grounds of Brighton Pavilion. It can be seen in many photos taken during WW1 when it provided shade to Muslim, Hindu and Sikh soldiers recuperating from the battle front. India provided many men to fight alongside Britain in WW1 and the pavilion, based on IndoIslamic architecture, was transformed into their military hospital.

Bill and the Belles

Americana at Woodend

Aussies back in town Review by Chris Lee

THE Aussies were back in town.

Not this time the green cricketing

BILL and the Belles will play vintage, old-time country and vaudeville at Woodend in Scarborough on 27 August.

The group puts its own spin on a golden era of American music,

specifically the 1920s, 1930s and 1940s, says promoter Chris Lee. “Lead singer and guitarist Kris Truelsen’s distinctive tenor anchors the project while the trio’s harmonies gleam against

a backdrop of banjo, fiddle, accordion, ukulele and clarinet”, Chris says.

The band takes its name from 1920s performers Bill and Belle Reed, who recorded the songs

Old Lady and the Devil and You Shall be Free in Johnson City, Tennessse, where the band is based.

Tickets cost £12 and can be booked by ringing 384500.

baggies of sandpaper notoriety but Lachlan Bryan and his troupe of musicians, back at Woodend for the third time.

Imogen Clark opened with a powerhouse performance of rock-tinged country with just enough grit to please the rootsy Americana fans and an appealing stage presence.

Mostly playing songs off her newest record Collide, and now signed to a major label, she could well be a star in the making.

Lachlan Bryan’s songs are hard to categorise. Although he’s usually filed under alternative country, he glides effortlessly through folk, rock, blues and country.

A lover’s waltz, Careless Hearts,

was followed by the rockabilly flavoured Black Coffee and the spikey rock guitar of Deathwish Country.

He’s a born storyteller and had the sell-out crowd enthralled with humorous tales concerning his grandfather’s ashes and his many matrimonial failings.

“Those who lose dreaming are

lost”, the old Aboriginal proverb goes and Lachlan''s ambition to become a great songwriter and performer have been fully realised on the evidence tonight.

A rousing version of Nick Cave’s biblical classic Red Right Hand finished the show in style.

They hope to be over again next May.

The wonderful Cayton Gala dog world of sewing show proves popular 36

SEWING is enjoying a revival and people of all ages and backgrounds are going to classes run in Scarborough.

Friendships form and people get a few hours of concentrated creativity away from their busy lives.

“It’s a haven, a retreat, a little oasis of calm and inspiring colour”, explains Carol Eves of Material Moves in Gladstone Road.

“People come to classes for all sorts of reasons, to make clothes in a personal style, to get expert tuition, to make clothes that actually fit and to develop sewing skills that have almost been lost through decades of it not being taught in schools and not being handed down through generations in families”.

In autumn, Carol will offer retreats with extended stays for people to further immerse themselves in the wonderful world of sewing.

Carol launched Material Moves in 2016, selling fabrics

Material Moves in Gladstone Road

in response to clients needing suitable cloth for clothes. She stocks an interesting range of good-quality woven and knit fabrics including an organic range, together with perfectly matching threads, buttons, ribbons, pins, needles, tape measures and everything else one needs for making clothes.

She says: “It was good to widen the range so that people can add to their collection of haberdashery for their hobby in one place”.

Now the business is unfolding to include a range of sewing and overlocking machines by Husqvarna Viking suitable for beginners and pros alike.

The big band comes back

BACK TO BASIE MILTON ROOMS, MALTON Review by Patrick Henry

HOME-GROWN jazz orchestra Back to Basie was a startling ingredient in the Ryedale Festival of mostly classical music.

This 17-piece big band of London-area musicians has flourished since 2001, winning many British jazz awards, playing the material of Count Basie, pianist and leader of his US orchestra from 1935.

The great man passed away in 1984. In the 1950s, his British tour included York. Now the brilliance of his styles has reached North Yorkshire once again.

Back to Basie, led by trumpet soloist and witty presenter Paul Lacey, features singer Jacqui Hicks. Her rendition of numbers favoured by great US vocalists proved a fine, creditable performance. She evoked Ella Fitzgerald, linked with On the Sunny Side of

KEeP UP TO DATE

the Street; June Christy, of Stan Kenton vintage, who once sang Taking a Chance on Love; Joe Williams, the Count’s band singer, who had showcased Everyday I Have the Blues. Now, Jacqui wove her own spell in these pieces, well embellished by the band behind her.

In their instrumental numbers, the musicians matched the memorable performances known from hit albums or tour performances, which home fans from the past still recall and value. The 60s album, The Atomic Mr Basie, one of the best-selling discs of all time, included the infectious arrangement of April in Paris, presented vividly here, with numerous repeat choruses.

Jacqui’s last song, Route 66, recorded by many stars, such as Ray Charles, went out on a final high note. The inevitable encore procured One O’clock Jump, the Count’s famous vibrant composition, from his earliest days.

Back to Basie has only one black player, on bass trombone.

In the early US era, there were no whites at all, except maybe on recordings. Live band shows were forbidden to mix races, with some star exceptions, until the 1950s. Up to then, and beyond, Bill Basie’s Orchestra had boasted in the ranks some of the finest jazzmen of all time: Lester Young, Buck Clayton, Jo Jones and Harry ‘Sweets’ Edison. This trumpeter played for Scarborough Jazz Club, at the Stage Door music pub, in 1988, aged 70, four years after his great leader had died. His mellow tone and thoughtful passages gave him his nickname. His improvising could contain quotes from Mozart.

Admirable players now fill this British grouping. They recapture that unique bigband jazz sound which Basie created. Nice to get it back again, so close to Scarborough.

I even had time to catch the last train home.

THE dog show at Cayton Gala once again proved to be one of the most popular attractions at the annual event.

Mutts of all shapes, sizes and colours were entered in the ring by hopeful owners.

They were vying for prizes in various categories. The dog with the waggiest tail was Max, a black spaniel. It isn’t clear whether this was the same pooch whose owner was overheard exclaiming: “You can’t hump every dog you see Max!” The dog considered most like its owner was Robbie, a ShihTzu, although it is not known how close the resemblance was. The dog the judge would most like to have taken home was a bull dog called Millie.

One four-legged candidate was barred from entering the category for the canine with the waggiest tail, on account of it having no tail. Bliss was a one-year-old French bulldog, a variety bred to grow only a stump. The irrepressible pup’s lead was held tight by Jaxson Hindle, 8, of Main Street, Cayton.

The gala’s foot-golf competition was won by the Unbeatables, whose team members were Lee Chatt, Richard Pollibay, Jack Jones and Jordon Scott.

Further entertainment was provided by the Anne Taylor Dance School, magician Magic Mal, Nutty Norman’s Punch and Judy and Dave Marshall, who compered the proceedings.

The Star Inn’s A and B teams came first and second on Maggie Byrne’s obstacle course.

Outdoor community fair run by Rotary THE Rotary Club of Scarborough Cavaliers is organising the town’s annual community fair in Westborough on 10 August, from 10am.

The event, started in 1999, enables local charities and community groups to raise their profiles and cash.

Club president-elect Tony Graham said: “Many organisations have booked space but we have room for

more and are hoping for new groups to join the party.

“It’s always a treat to see what each organisation does to attract visitors, from terrific tombolas and riotous raffles to colourful cakes and marvellous marmalades, with the odd surprise item to tempt customers,” he added.

Several stallholders appear in themed fancy dress which adds to the spectacle.

The mayor, Cllr Hazel Lynskey, will judge the best-dressed stall, which gives stallholders an opportunity to be creative and inventive with their displays.

Organisations pay £25 per stall. To book, ring Lyndsay Chamberlain on 870310 or email lyndsay@coberhill.co.uk.

Jazz club celebrates 35th anniversary NOT many jazz clubs can claim to have promoted jazz 50 nights a year for 35 years.

Scarborough’s can.

Mike Gordon

The founders - drummer Dennis Hitch, guitarist Roy Elsey, bassist Bob Walker and keys player Mike Gordon - were just looking for somewhere to play, which is how Scarborough Jazz started.

Dennis and Roy are now playing at the great jazz club in the sky but Mike and Bob are still part of the resident trio, with Tom Townsend on drums.

The club was launched in 1984 at Elvenhome, which later became the Stage Door and is now a storeroom in Clinton’s card shop in the town centre.

Its other homes were the Mermaid (part of the Futurist complex), the Golden Ball, the Ramshill, Beiderbecke’s,

Scholars and, for two spells, the Cask, where it has been settled since 2007.

Audiences of between 40 and 60 attend Wednesday sessions at the Cask. “Musicians are always commenting on the great atmosphere and how they love playing here”, says Mike, who is chair of Scarborough Jazz. “They are impressed by how attentive our audiences are, without being too formal”.

He adds: “We have had some great highlights including Peter King, Alan Barnes, Martin Taylor, Dave O’Higgins, Clark Tracey, Don Weller, Dave Newton, Jim Mullen, Snake Davis, Stacey Kent and, before they became famous, Clare

L-R, Mike and Marian Gordon, Bob Walker and Dennis Rollins (to order photos ring 353597)

Teal and Anita Wardell”.

The club’s policy is to actively promote some of the country’s most exciting young bands including Partikel with Duncan Eagles, Yoruba (part of Jazz Yorkshire's Jazz Futures project), the Matt Anderson Quartet, Jazz Aesthetic (a Hull University 12-piece led by Peter Elsdon) and Artephis.

Jazz musicians of all standards have an opportunity to perform at players’ sessions which take place two or three times a year; the next one is on 21 August.

Professional film maker Dennis Lowe made an outstanding 13-minute film about the club which has shots of the annual jazz festival. It can be seen on the website www. scarboroughjazz.co.uk. Dennis is famous for his special visual effects in The Talented Mr Ripley and The English Patient.

The club is well aware that its future depends on support

Chris Bates with his bike and bestin-show trophy

Pickersgill (most original bike) and John Hutchison (specials, a Triumph Triton).

Chris Bates the won the best-inshow trophy, Pete Gibson the won the Malcolm Gummerson trophy for the best Norton and Colin Campbell won the Lofty Thomas shield for the best Triumph. The judge was Alex Hunter.

The club’s principal aim is to encourage the ownership, use and preservation of British motorcycles. However, although most members own and ride old and new British

from local fans, both at club nights and behind the scenes.

Newcomers receive a friendly welcome at club nights.

A free party celebrating the club’s 35th anniversary was held at the Spa in July. Sharing the bill were Dennis Rollins, the New York Brass Band, the Mike Gordon Trio with Kate Peters and Ian Chalk, Social Oven, Hip Hop Jazz Jam (standing in for AC3), Vibeology and DJ Mark Thompson’s Jazz Jukebox. The Sun Court in the afternoon and the Promenade Lounge in the evening were packed, Mike says. “Adrian Riley did a great job organising the events”.

Just as the club was spawned out of the founders’ love of jazz, the town’s annual jazz festival, at the Spa in September, emerged from Mike’s devotion to the genre and is now firmly established on the national jazz-map.

The town owes a huge debt

of gratitude to Mike for his unswerving work in promoting jazz. In 2017 the festival received a Parliamentary award for the best jazz festival.

The competition included the London, Manchester and Cheltenham jazz festivals.

Mike is quick to point out that the club’s continued success depends on the support of the committee and key individuals.

They include David Kennard for writing programme copy and reviews of highlight events; Marian Gordon for her unstinting work behind the scenes, mailing out information and preparing poster content; treasurer Tom Mellor; secretary, soundman and bassist Bob Walker, who puts in an enormous amount of work prior to, and during, each performance; and Sarah Dyson for the club’s Facebook and Twitter presence.

Friendly smiles and innovative dishes at Indian Lounge

Matin Bashir of Indian Lounge

ONE of the most familiar faces to diners at Scarborough’s Indian restaurants is Matin Bashir of Indian Lounge in Castle Road.

Matin’s friendly smile has been greeting customers at the well-established eatery for six months.

Describing the Indian Lounge cuisine, he says: “With over 25 years in the industry I wanted to bring something different to Indian cuisine in Scarborough by combining touches from the classical Asian cooking roots with a contemporary cooking styles”.

Alongside traditional classics such as bhunas, baltis, jalfrezis and vindaloos, the restaurant offers innovative dishes such as the duck sizzler, made with

tandoori duck, peppers, green chillies and a splash of Tia Maria and tamarind sauce.

Matin says: “Indian Lounge diners experience striking hand-picked tastes not just from India, but from other southern Asian cooking heritages which you will not find anywhere else in Scarborough”.

The 54-seat restaurant is near the town centre, not far from the seaside alongside all the retail shops. “This makes us the perfect place to finish your night out”, says Matin. “Once customers try us they always come back for more”.

The ambience in the restaurant is calm and serene. Matin says: “I want my customers to not just enjoy the delicious food

but also have a fantastic dining experience.

“Our staff members enjoy working here which is evident from our reviews on Tripadvisor and other social media, which have been nothing short of fantastic.

“As well as serving amazing food in the restaurant, we also cater for customers who cannot dine in by delivering high-quality, piping-hot food straight to their doorstep. We reach out to all of Scarborough including areas such as Eastfield, Burniston and Cayton”.

Indian Lounge offers a buffet every Sunday from 12.30-4pm and a four-course meal deal every Wednesday night.

The ensemble, which has won countless competitions, performs about a dozen times

a year. Venues have included York Minster, Harewood House, Fountains Abbey, Preston Guild Hall, Fairfield Hall in Croydon and the Albert Hall in London.

The choir will be joined by Opera North soprano Victoria Sharp and tenor Campbell Russell, organist Simon Lindley, cornetist Phillip

Entente cordiale holds true despite Brexit TWINNING agreements between the UK and EU countries will survive Brexit if the 30-year friendship between Scarborough and Pornic has anything to do with it.

A 25-strong Scalby and Newby Twinning Association delegation visited the French town recently, enjoying a variety of cultural activities.

They went to an art exhibition, had a boat trip along the Erdre river, walked in a Japanese garden and took part in a treasure hunt and hat competition.

Meals ranged from a formal

dinner to a picnic and a safari supper.

Formal speeches were given in the town-hall gardens

by Pornic’s mayor and the president of its twinning committee. Kate Newton responded on the visitors’ behalf.

She said: “Four years ago, before our referendum, the mayor of Pornic correctly anticipated the result and affirmed that, regardless of the outcome of the referendum, the close friendships between the peoples of Newby, Scalby and Pornic would continue.

The link between our two

countries and peoples is so strong that it will persist, regardless of politics. We are sure the friendship, understanding and fun will continue and grow even deeper”.

The delegation presented three white rose bushes, one for each decade of the twinning, which the mayor planted.

Next year, in June, it will be Pornic’s turn to visit Newby & Scalby.

Tale of a horse which took the world by storm THE Yorkshire coach horse is the subject of a new book by Thornton Dale author Anne Britton.

The Dash of Blood - A History of the Yorkshire Coach Horse takes readers on a remarkable journey from a small farm on the outskirts of York to the world of liveried luxury in London and onwards to the dusty streets of Rome, the plains of Colorado and the bushland of Australia.

Controversy, heartbreak and the creation of new generations reveal the extent to which horses were once an intrinsic part of everyday life.

Few people today have heard of the Yorkshire coach horse.

Yet foreign leaders, colonial settlers, the English royal family, American millionaires and someone as unlikely as Buffalo Bill once sought the prestige of owning one. Thanks to several unusual alliances and the determination of some pioneering North Yorkshire farmers, this desirable animal took the world by storm.

Anne’s great-grandfather Robert Britton bred horses. The record of his horse-breeding achievements is contained in four dog-eared hardback books in varying states of repair, which have a distinctive smell: sweet, smoky, earthy and slightly mouldy. They are bound in cloth and would originally have been a rich burgundy colour, embossed with gold lettering and a Yorkshire rose. Their mottled and stained pages, held together with various forms of sticking tape, have been scribbled on by toddlers, nibbled by mice and used for mathematical calculations.

Despite their sorry state, these stud books have survived 130 years of everyday farming life and constitute the earliest formal records of the Yorkshire Coach Horse Society of Great Britain and Ireland.

The book can be bought at Hoppers in Malton, www. ypdbooks.com and by ringing 01904 431213 or 07866 106093.

POEM CORNER

BY BEN ROBINSON

My life It seems to be the story of my life, That all of my kindness, Is taken for weakness, And all of my closest, Are snatched in moments.

If I laid out my life, Could you take me in your stride, Would you stay, Or could you walk away.

When I couldn’t do it, When I couldn’t smile, You wouldn’t stop me hurting my life, The way I stopped you,

A Scarborough-based computer and technology social enterprise is expanding.

Krash Labs is moving to new premises at the Street as part of its plans for growth and expansion.

Launched seven years ago, it works with young people and technology to create

inclusive and fun learning environments.

Krash Labs hosts Minecraft events for kids and supports young people with autism, ADHD, dyslexia and other hidden impairments.

Owner and director Guy Baumann said: “This is a great move for us. The room

is bright and well lit with lots of space for kids to engage in technology and gaming. We will be among other organisations who have similar values and goals to us and hope to be able to draw in more interest in what we are doing”.

25 free places on theatre course at YMCA

SCARBOROUGH YMCA has won nearly £20,000 in the People’s Postcode Lottery, following a successful funding bid.

The grant will allow the YMCA to award 25 free places on two theatre training programmes, this summer and next Easter.

YMCA Takeover supports young people gain valuable experience in all areas of the theatre, from performance to production roles.

The project responds to the

growing demand for lighting designers, stage managers, sound designers, etc.

With many years’ experience of the theatre industry, the YMCA wants to give 50 youngsters aged 11-18, particularly girls, an insight into careers in the arts which they might not have considered before.

Featuring workshops and rehearsals with industry professionals, the project will provide opportunities to gain skills within the theatre

beyond treading the boards as a performer.

The first one will run from 5-17 August, with an optional breakfast club which is included in the £100 cost.

This represents “incredibly good value for such a valuable experience”, the YMCA says.

With the new funding, 25 young people from families who are in receipt of at least one income-related benefit or tax credit will be able to attend without paying.

From having to cry, For help that never came, To stop you hurting your pride.

I’m lying awake, As your lies break, My heart in a million pieces, Leaving no traces, If a friendship that was, Not enough.

All my friends are now my enemies, How can this happen again, Over and over in time, Maybe that’s just my life.

Choir anticipates a busy Christmas SCARBOROUGH Community Choir begins its autumn / winter rehearsals on 11 September, at South Cliff Methodist Church hall.

Among the new material being prepared for the choir’s new season will be Cat Stevens’ Matthew and Son, songs from The King and I and Roger Whittaker’s The Last Farewell.

The choir is anticipating a busy Christmas programme with performances at venues all over town.

In March, the choir will take part in an orchestral concert at Westborough Methodist Church. In conjunction with the Sandside Players, the second half will be in the style of a 1939 radio broadcast.

The piece, loosely based on the Tommy Handley ITMA shows, is entitled Only When I Chuckle. Devised by Tim Tubbs and Bill Scott, it will include original material and songs from the period.

More information about the choir can be found on its website.

Busy Seafest despite grey skies and rain THE 21st annual Seafest was as busy as ever, despite rain and grey skies.

The 48-hour festival had the usual popular blend of live music, street theatre, fireworks, craft and food stalls and other activities.

The music marquee doubled as a real-ale tent, run by the Great Yorkshire Brewery in Cropton.

The bar was a red doubledecker bus at the opposite end to the stage; the queue stretched halfway down the marquee for much of the time.

The main toilets on the pier were closed early, leaving

three cubicles, forcing people to improvise and the sea level to rise imperceptibly.

The Wayward Bohos made their debut and Dustin’ the Blues belted out Tom Petty’s Running Down a Dream and Blind Alfred Reed’s How Can a Poor Man Stand Such Times and Live? before finishing with a self-penned ditty, Put the Kettle On. Children danced and played in front of the stage. Some 20 hours of live music was programmed by Ryan Heath. The Feens, who were due to bring Seafest to a close, dropped out because

they were offered a slot at the Y Not festival in Derbyshire; they were replaced by Chu ma Shu. The music paused at 9.45pm on Saturday for a display of fireworks ignited in the middle of the beach. Dozens of disgruntled gulls raucously vacated the area and a westerly wind blew the smoke out to sea, so it didn’t obscure the following fireworks too much.

Scarborough Hospitality Association arranged cooking demonstrations by prominent Yorkshire chefs and hungry souls devoured the free

offerings after each one.

The Stephen Joseph Theatre held story-telling sessions with the help of its pirate mascot and Surfers Against Sewage organised a public beach clean.

Seafest’s traditional nautical flavour was enhanced by Maritime Heritage Centre and Coble and Keelboat Society displays.

Seafest was centred on West Pier but featured three boats moored on the North Wharf: a marine police vessel, the Wet Wheels powerboat and a decommissioned Scottish fishing trawler owned by Sea Folk Arts.

Three hydrophones were

dropped in the sea by ECOde, a partnership between arts / science outfit Invisible Dust and the town library, where another mic was mounted on the roof. The sounds relayed live into a gazebo and onto the Locus Sonus website included lapping waves and a passing lifeboat’s propeller.

The project inspired young people to investigate local biodiversity and learn about how human activity can affect the environment.

Laura Cheetham and Stuart Baines of the Sea Watch Foundation raised awareness of the vaquita, one of seven species of porpoise and the

world's most endangered marine mammal. Only 22 remain, off the Mexican coast. The rest have been unintentionally drowned in gillnets by subsistence fishermen catching totoaba, another endangered species, whose swim bladder is considered a delicacy in China.

The Archway for the Children, a collection of plastic beach toys gathered from the south beach by one person over two weeks, was in one of the big tents.

Victorian Society visits Scarborough SCARBOROUGH’S finest Victorian and Edwardian architecture was celebrated by the Victorian Society on a visit to the town.

According to the conservation body’s website, “Victorian and Edwardian buildings are irreplaceable, cherished, diverse, beautiful, familiar and part of our everyday life.

The society fights for these buildings”.

The visitors probably lamented the almost casual demolition of many of the town’s best buildings of the period but relished visits to many of those that survived.

The society held its AGM in the magnificent Palm

Court ballroom of the Grand Hotel (designed by Cuthbert Broderick and opened in 1867).

They then walked down to the Spa, which developed from an 18th-century timber structure into the Victorian resort’s most fashionable rendezvous, designed by Joseph Paxton (1858) with additions by Verity and Hunt (1877-80). Local historian Keith Johnston gave a talk about the Spa before dinner. It was attended by the borough mayor, Cllr Hazel Lynskey, who was welcomed

by Prof Hilary Grainger, who chairs the society, director Chris Costelloe and seaside historian and trip organiser Kathryn Ferry.

Award for Sally-Ann SCARBOROUGH woman SallyAnn Fawcett was presented with a lifetime achievement award for services to the pageant industry when she judged a Miss England semifinal at Pontins in Camber Sands.

The award was presented by contest organiser Kat Simpson, who was Miss England 2009 and a former soldier decorated for bravery in Iraq.

The photo, by Van der Meuwe, shows Sally-Ann accepting her award from Kat.

The visitors spent the following day exploring the town and seafront. Coaches picked them up from their hotels to go to Oliver’s Mount for an overview of Scarborough. They visited the church of St Martin’s-onthe-Hill (GF Bodley, 1863 with glazing by William Morris & Co) before driving along the seafront and Marine Drive (1908) to the north bay for lunch and a tour of Peasholm Park (1912). The coaches dropped them back in town for an afternoon walking tour which took in Woodend - the former villa of the Sitwell family (1840), the Crown Hotel (1845), the town hall (Henry Wyatt, 1844 and Harry W

Smith, 1903) and the Spa chalet (1858).

The next day, they visited Ravenscar for a walking tour of the resort that never was.

They then travelled further up the coast to Saltburn where another walking tour started at the station (1861) and adjacent

Zetland Hotel (William Peachey, 1863). They toured the so-called ‘jewel’ streets before taking the oldest surviving water balance lift (1884) down the cliff to the pier (1869).

They lunched at Rushpool Hall Hotel (1864), the Gothic seaside home of ironmaster

John Bell. On the way back, they stopped at the church of St Stephen in Fylingdales (GE Street, 1870), arriving back at Scarborough station (1845) in time for their trains home.

Talk for stamp club PETER PUGH travelled from Rugby to give a talk for Scarborough Philatelic Society.

His subject was postal communications with British trading posts in China between 1897 and 1912.

This was an eventful period which included the completion and opening of the TransSiberian railway, the Boxer Rebellion, Japanese attacks on Russian interests, the civil war and many nations competing for trading rights.

The British ran postal services from their treaty ports along the Chinese coast using Hong Kong stamps. The postmark on mail showed where it had

entered the British postal system.

Other nations provided postal services for their people but many used the British service.

Peter showed many picture postcards and envelopes used with Hong Kong stamps together with maps and photos of ships and trains used to transport mail.

His detailed knowledge of the history, politics and geography of the region brought life to his exhibits.

The photo shows Peter being thanked by the society’s new chairman, Stuart Hogg.

The society's next meeting will be at the library at 7pm on 6

August. Visitors interested in stamps and postal history are

welcome to attend.

The beautiful game, needs ALL beautiful people Scarborough Atheltic commentator, Ant Taylor, shares his support for the Gay Footballer Twitter account, and talks about the problems that still exist in professional sports today. @Iamradioant

SOMETHING I’d been watching over the past month or so on Twitter, was an account set up by a professional footballer playing in the Championship, who was coming out to his family as a gay man.

He’d planned to come out to the world as a gay professional footballer later on in the month.

He had the support of his club and team mates, but on the eve of the scheduled unveiling, he deleted his Twitter account.

‘I thought I was stronger. I was wrong’ was the last tweet from the account.

The Twitter account was set up in early July, and amassed 50,000 followers. Not a single active professional player has come out as a gay man since Justin Fashanu in the early nineties, who passed away in 1998 from suicide after years of homophobic abuse.

In 2013, while a free agent, Robbie Rogers who left Leeds United came out to the world, Rogers briefly retired from the game but did get back involved in the MLS with LA Galaxy.

Homosexuality in the English game is sometimes said to be a taboo subject by the media and players. Peter Clayton, who chairs the FA's Homophobia in Football working group has argued that clubs prevent players from coming out, because footballers have an increasing commercial market value which may be damaged by the stigma.

Homophobic abuse is still rife around the terraces and discrimination reports rose by a third in the 2018/2019 season, according to Kick It Out - Football’s Equality and Inclusion Organisation. You can see why, if not a hoax, the Gay Footballer has gone back on his original intentions.

He received many messages of hate which he stated outweighed the positives of coming out for him.

Lord Ouseley, Chairman of Kick It Out said in a press release: “It is hugely disappointing to have to reveal, yet again, increasing levels of all forms of discriminatory abuse at football.

“While the increased reports reflect a greater inclination among fans to complain about unacceptable abuse, these trends reflect, in part, what

Men and boys in pink boost Race for Life

BY ANT TAYLOR

Warming up in the Sea Life Centre carpark (to order photos ring 353597)

THE annual Race for Life in Scarborough gets bigger, pinker - and more sexually diverse.

For the first time, men and boys were allowed to enter this year’s race. Previously, they had taken part in disguise.

This year, about 100 male participants took part, many with partners who had survived or been affected by cancer.

They were among 1,350 registered participants, 50 more than last year and 150 more than in 2017. One man is happening in the rest of society. Hate crime reports have doubled over the last year to more than 94,000.”

He added: “Football cannot be complacent about the risk to the game this represents. Much good work has, and is, being done to prevent and counter unacceptable behaviour. But, the professional leagues and their clubs must do more in a coherent and consistent way – exemplifying all the best practices applied by some clubs – to drive hateful and abusive spectators out of the game.

“Equally, The FA and its county associations, as well as local leagues, must step up their actions to ensure compliance and enforcement at grassroots level.”

The EFL say that they are committed to working with the relevant parties to ensure football provides a welcoming environment for all supporters attending matches.

As mentioned earlier, the Gay Footballer's Twitter account had grown popular, with tweets from the likes of ex-England striker Gary Lineker. There had also been no shortage of people doubting the credibility of the owner of the account.

But does it really matter if the account was real?

It might have given people strength with their own story, but it’s also highlighted an important challenge that the

male side of the sport needs to tackle.

Other sports professionals have come out while still working in their respective sports regarding their sexual orientation, from diver Tom Daly, rugby referee Nigel Owens and wrestler Darren Young.

Other professionals like Gareth Thomas and gold medalist swimmer Ian Thorpe have waited until they have retired from their sport.

On the flip side, in the ladies game there are many role models, from England’s Casey Stoney who In November 2012, was named 50th on The Independent's Pink List of influential lesbian and gay people in the UK. More recently USA World Cup winning women’s captain Megan Rapinoe leads the way with the likes of Leeds born boxer Nicola Adams.

If the Gay Footballer ever gets to read this, I think he is probably the bravest footballer around, as he’s not only coming out once, it's going to be three times, including family and his club. You have the support from me and by the way, the twitter-sphere has been lighting up with comments of positivity, you already have a ton of love, whatever you decide.

juggled three balls as he ran.

The event, organised by Cancer Research UK and hosted by Scarborough Council, hopes to raise £50,000 for the charity.

The women, girls, men, boys and a few dogs ran, jogged or walked either 10km or 5km, depending on how fit and energetic they felt. Nearly everyone wore something pink.

The race began at the Sea Life Centre carpark and went through the open-air theatre then round the Marine Drive and back.

At the start, Julie Hatton of the Hatton School of Performing Arts got everyone in the mood with an energetic warm-up routine in the carpark.

The entry fees were £15 for adults and £10 for children.

Race for Life is a series of women-only fundraising events organised by Cancer Research UK. They involve running, jogging or walking and raising sponsorship. The money raised funds research into all 200 types of cancer.

FROM THE TOUCHLINE PREMIER league side Leicester Tigers; one of the leading clubs in England, held a rugby coaching camp at Scarborough RUFC at the end of last week which attracted nearly eighty young Scarborough players.

Coaches included John Dudley and Tosh Askew and the young athletes received a visit from Scotland International back row Dave Denton on the final day of the camp. The children had a wonderful time in beautiful summer weather and I’m sure the camp was of great benefit to their rugby development.

With the new season just over four weeks away Scarborough have seen an exodus from its playing ranks which leaves the Seasiders struggling to find replacements for six first team players who have departed. Youth Development Officer (YDO) and star fullback Jimmy Perrett has returned to his native Australia and the end of his contract/visa as as popular hooker Sam Dawson. Kiwi Manning Smith won’t return from injury and Kiwi second row Cade Robinson has disappointinly moved on to North One rivals York.

His second row partner Tom Hicks is reportedly joining the army and finally wing/centre Matty Young is taking a sabbatical from rugby due to business committments However the Silver Royd club has retained the services of last season’s most improved player

ANGUS FREND

Luke Brown and has signed Aussie utility back Angus Frend to add to the many talented youngsters who have done so well over the last two seasons.

Club recruitment Officer Nick Ingham released the following statement: “The announcement of the departure of Jimmy, Cade and Sam is of course disappointing but not unexpected and we have planned to replace them for some time. I wish the three of them the very best of luck in the future and thank them for their time with us. I hope they’ve found value in their time at Scarborough.

Regarding new players for next season we have three new players who are pretty much confirmed including two U.K. players who are moving to the area.

The management team have been working hard on recruitment since the middle of last season.

Over the years we have built up a great network of recruitment sources and have been lucky to of been supported by exoverseas players who have recommended fellow players to come and join us. It’s not easy for overseas players to play in Europe as it comes at some expense to them but we are confident in our ability to offer a rugby club that is true to the values of the game and where nonlocal players are made to feel welcome.

We have over the years had some terrific players approach us from out of town such as the likes of

Marcus Edwards, Tom Ratcliffe and Phil Watson and we will continue being a club that is welcoming to new players but our focus is very much on developing the talent that we have coming through our junior sides. There is an incredibly positive feeling about our juniors within the Club at the moment as we continue to produce and self-generate talented boys and girls who are playing senior rugby at Scarborough. I feel this is only the start of it and I look forward to the

next few seasons.”

As I mentioned in last month’s Review Drew Govier was a shoe-in for the Scarborough captaincy and he was elected thus at the end of the month. I did have a chat with him and he said how proud he was to be named captain of the club where he had started at as a kid. He informed me that he was looking forward to playing with so many of the lads he had played with since he first pulled a pair of boots on, particularly his younger brother Euan and

TOM HICKS (Andy Standing)

Ben Martin in the clubs’ dynamic back row and hoped the players who have played so well over the last couple of seasons can continue producing the high-quality running rugby that has been the trademark of the club of late. He was also looking forward to welcoming back Tom Harrison who was seriously injured in the first game of last season and veteran Phil Watson on his return to the club. He will be able to get back to action on the 10th of this month when

the Seasiders entertain Goole in a friendly fixture at Silver Royd. The following week (17th) Castleford RUFC will be the opposition in a friendly also at Silver Royd.

And finally, Scarborough RUFC’S cricket section had a fantastic conclusion to their season winning two cup finals at the end of July. The Cayley Division Four T20 trophy and Home Guard cups were won on consecutive Sundays, 21st and28th; a real achievement for the ‘egg-chasing cricketers.’

Eastfield team compete in karate world cup SEVEN young people and adults from Eastfield represented Britain at the GKR karate world cup in Milton Keynes.

They are from GKR Karate, which practises a Japanese style of karate, Go-KanRyu. The contest was open to all ages and grades from Australia, the USA, New Zealand and the UK. “We didn't come back with any medals, but the experience was phenomenal”, said sensei coach Nicki Martin.

“All the students are keyed up and raring to go for the next regional tournament, in Sheffield on 28 September. It is the qualifying competition for the UK nationals in November.

“All the team won their places through hard work and dedication and qualified by being the best in their age and grade groups in northern regional competitions earlier in the year”.

The trip to Milton Keynes was partly financed via

Eastfield and Osgodby county councillor Tony Randerson, who channelled £1,500 from his locality budget. County councillors have a budget of £5,000 a year to allow them to respond to local needs by recommending the allocation of small amounts of funding to support specific activities.

The £1,500 was complemented by donations from Schneider Electric in Eastfield, Higashi Karate in Scarborough, two masonic

lodges in Scarborough and Hull, AFS Technologies in Aberdeen, Ne've Shalom synagogue in Hull and Drypool Green Community Association in Hull.

The money was used to transport the competitors and for accommodation.

Cllr Randerson said: “They had been doing various fundraising events and raised a considerable amount of money. I was more than happy to top it up to the amount they needed. One of the great things about being a

team sport for athletes with a visual impairment.

It is played by two teams of three players who score by bowling the ball along the floor into the opposing team’s goal.

councillor is I can help in this way and support grassroots sport”.

GKR Karate meets at Eastfield community centre on Wednesdays, from 6pm. It provides classes for children aged five and up. It is a family-oriented karate

group, with many of the parents training with their children.

Nicki said karate is a positive sport for all generations, building strength, self-confidence, balance and co-ordination.

It teaches discipline, courtesy and self-defence.

THE ANNUAL Gambart Baines bowling competition celebrates its centenary this year, at the Alexandra centre in Scarborough. It will conclude on bank-holiday Monday, 26 August. Play starts at 10am, with the final

and presentation between 4pm and 5.15pm. Borough mayor Hazel Lynskey will present the cup and prizes.

The organisers hope to have relatives of Alderman Gambart Baines, who donated the cup in 1919, in attendance.

Young cyclists tackle the circle of doom HUNDREDS of children and adults strapped timing chips to their ankles for a cycling festival on Oliver’s Mount in Scarborough.

On the Saturday, over 100 youngsters entered the circle of doom before cycling through woodland and through the café carpark.

They hailed from many parts of the country including Deeside, Holmfirth, Bradford, Shibden, Huddersfield, Derby and Newark.

The organisers were hoping for a larger turnout; it was probably affected by a competing ride organised by Richardsons bike club.

However, nearly 400 riders entered various races on the Sunday. Events included closed-circuit road races for children and the national junior women’s series championship, cyclo-cross racing and a hill climb which was part of the youth national circuit championships.

The festival is run by volunteers including three from Scarborough: Chris Goode, Andy Sharp and Rob Brown. The council
