Drunks to be thrown off trains CLIFF RESCUE
10
POST OFFICE 2 TO MOVE
Merry Christmas
and a happy new year
Words and photo by Dave Barry DRUNKS on trains to Scarborough may be thrown off, if the police and rail company have their way. Passengers will be asked “to demonstrate that [their] ability to walk has not been impaired by alcohol or drugs”. A fit-to-travel policy is being applied to trains running on Saturday evenings and bank-holiday Sunday and Monday evenings. Everyone on the York to Scarborough train after 6pm will have to look fit to travel, according to TransPennine Express, working in partnership with British Transport Police and York City Neighbourhood Police. “If you are planning on visiting York in the run-up to Christmas, please ensure that you comply with this policy”, the partners say. “Otherwise you may find that you are denied travel home”. Everyone who has taken a late
train from York to Scarborough, especially at weekends, knows that the company can range from lively and entertaining to threatening and intimidating. Responding to the policy, a woman wrote on York police’s Facebook page: “I travelled on a train after 8pm on a Saturday and it was stinking with mortal drunks. Puke all over and vile offensive language in front
of my then 11 year old. The women were worse than the men. And the guard never came down the train to check anything. Drink and food everywhere. I would never chance it again”. Another commentator said: “This is a worryingly curious one. I can't find mention of it on the TPE website. How would they enforce it anyway, and why not at all times?”

Party buzz as Tour returns again
Accident victim thought she was going to die A WOMAN who thought she was going to die after being hit by a car in the middle of Scarborough has launched a road-safety campaign. Jane Golden was crossing Aberdeen Walk when a car turned off Victoria Road and collided with her. She says: “I screamed and was flung up in the air and fell to the ground”, adding that the car had been travelling “at speed”. Jane’s jaw smashed into the car bonnet and her teeth cut through her lower lip. She sustained facial injuries and required stitches inside and outside her mouth, rendering her unable to eat properly. In shock, as she lay on the ground, she was immediately approached by concerned passers-by. “One was a local man who got a blanket and sat with me until the ambulance turned up”, says Jane, who lives in nearby Hoxton Road. “I can't thank him enough for comforting me through this terrible experience. The car which hit me stopped and a male in his mid-thirties got out. I was bleeding but didn't know where from. I was scared and thought I was going to die”. An ambulance and the police arrived and Jane was blue-lighted up to A&E.

Scarborough Review • www.thescarboroughreview.co.uk
Visitor from the North Pole arrives Words and photos by Dave Barry A HUGE crowd of excited children and adults gathered on the piers around Scarborough harbour for the arrival of the Boyes Santa. Accompanied by red-dressed elves, the seasonal visitor travelled from the North Pole to the seafront aboard the Skylark fishing boat. He was interviewed by Yorkshire Coast Radio presenter Paddy Billington before greeting as
many youngsters as he could. Santa then boarded a vehicle parked in West Pier which slowly transported him the short distance from the seafront to Boyes Store in Queen Street. The traditional spectacle is organised by the store, where Santa occupies a grotto on the basement floor until Christmas. The store’s windows on Queen Street, Market Street and Cross Street feature spectacular Christmas displays.
He was eagerly greeted by a large crowd

Parking on pavements can be dangerous Words and photo by Dave Barry THE problem of pavement parking is growing worse in Scarborough, it is feared. Vehicles parked on pavements can cause an obstruction and inhibit the independence of vulnerable people, especially older or disabled people with visual or mobility impairments. And when pedestrians such as people with pushchairs are forced into the road and into oncoming traffic, pavement parking becomes dangerous. Pavement surfaces are not designed to carry the weight of vehicles. The added maintenance cost of repairing cracked and damaged paving adds an unnecessary financial burden to already cash-strapped councils. Parking on most London pavements has been illegal since 1974. In June, the Scottish government changed the law to ban parking on pavements in Scotland. Wales may follow suit.
In England, a coalition of organisations including Living Streets, the British Parking Association, the Local Government Association and Guide Dogs for the Blind has been campaigning for years to introduce a ban and believes it could finally be just around the corner. The campaign is supported by many people in the Scarborough area including Chris Phillips, who says: “I understand why so many cars are parked on footpaths, to allow traffic to pass at least one way. “But footpaths are for pedestrians and people with prams; some are twin prams. Many cars are parked on footpaths, making pedestrians walk on the road. Usually it affects those with disabilities or children in prams”, Mr Phillips says. He asks: “Why are the car owners not prosecuted? “In a few places, the wider pavements have white lines painted on the footpaths as to the limit of car parking in narrow streets. Why
New island for busy road A PEDESTRIAN island is to be built in a busy stretch of road in Scalby. To be positioned on the bridge over the sea cut, it will help people cross Scalby Road to reach the footpath which runs alongside the waterway. The next nearest crossing points are an island near the Scalby crossroads and the
pedestrian-operated traffic lights near the library. The new island will be paid for by the county and parish councils. Cty Cllr Derek Bastiman, who represents the Scalby and Coast division, has channelled £5,000 from the environmental locality budget.
don’t all authorities do this? “Many grass verges and grassed areas are being ruined by cars parking on them, mainly where there is no need for a car to do so. “Again, these drivers should be prosecuted and made to pay for the land spoilt by their selfishness”.
A pavement parker in Newby
The problem is widespread
Cars parked on pavements in Alexandra Park
This allows the 72 county councillors to respond to local environmental and highways needs and requests by recommending funding of up to £5,000 to support projects or activities that benefit the communities they represent. Newby & Scalby Parish Council is to contribute the remaining cost of the project, up to a maximum of £3,500. Cllr Bastiman says local residents had raised concerns for some time about the difficulties they were experiencing crossing the road to
get to the footpath. “The pedestrian refuge will create a safe passage for young and old to cross the road and will also help with traffic calming in the area”. Reg Towse, who chairs the parish council, adds: “We are happy to contribute to this new facility which will help address parishioner’s concerns crossing Scalby Road. The sea cut footpath is well used by locals and this new island will help to improve road safety”.

Beer festival finds a new home at Spa by Dave Barry
SCARBOROUGH’S annual beer festival, which was cancelled this year, has found a new and possibly permanent venue. This year’s festival, due to be held at the old parcel sorting office at the railway station, was called off when the venue said it was no longer unavailable. The disappointed festival organisers quickly scouted around for an alternative but couldn’t find one. However, they have found a new home for the 2019 festival - the Spa Ocean Room. It will run from 7-9 March, from noon until 11pm. The festival will feature up to 80 real ales showcasing distinctive beers and breweries all over the country, including local ones and 18 casks from micro-breweries in Scotland. About 25 boxes of ciders and perries will include produce from the heartland of cider country, the South West, plus local ciders from Hedgehoggers and Tree Top Press. Many will be making a first appearance in Scarborough.
Organiser Stewart Campbell of the local branch of the Campaign for Real Ale said: “We are delighted that, following this year’s unfortunate chain of events, we will be staging our third real-ale festival in association with the Spa. “As well as a plentiful supply of beer, there will be a range of good-quality hot and cold food plus snacks catered by the Spa plus soft drinks for drivers”, Stewart said. The festival will feature live music on Friday and Saturday evenings, with Thursday designated a quiet night. Accompanied children will be welcome until 8pm. Entrance will cost £5, including a glass which can be exchanged at the end of the evening. A minibus shuttle service will operate between the station and the Spa from the opening time until the last train out of town. n Advertisers and sponsors who would like to support the festival should email Stewart on stewartcampbell2003@yahoo.co.uk.

America’s first warship finally found in Filey bay - tbc by Dave Barry EXPERTS believe they have found the longlost wreck of America's first warship in Filey bay. The USS Bonhomme Richard, commanded by John Paul Jones, went to Davy Jones’s locker in 1779, after a vicious battle with the British. Specialist Harrogate firm Merlin Burrows has used satellite technology to search for the remains of the vessel. Divers have recovered 40 pieces of evidence, including burnt wooden timbers and mast sections. However, underwater archeologist Chris Robinson of Filey points out that “the claims have yet to be verified. “When trying to identify a wreck, you look for points of provenance such as the length, depth and position”, he said. A critical point of provenance is the age of the wood. “You need 50 consecutive rings to get a good dendro-chronology reading”, Mr Robinson said, while admitting: “I always had a feeling it would be found in that corner of the bay. But at the moment, it’s anyone’s guess”. He said that if the claims were proven, the US navy would step in, “because technically it’s their ship, their heritage”. Whatever could be salvaged would probably be taken to what he described as “the shrine to John Paul Jones in Annapolis”. Merlin Burrows CEO Bruce Blackburn
USS Bonhomme Richard (by Frank Muller)
estimates that at least 13 American expeditions, including one by a nuclear submarine, had tried to find the wreck, at a cost of over $200m. “They were looking in the wrong place”, Mr Blackburn said. Their experts thought the wreck was six miles off the coast, he added. “But Captain Jones says in his log that cannonballs were striking the cliff as people stood witnessing the battle. You couldn’t do that from six miles away. “We are 100% sure it is the Bonhomme Richard. The timbers we’ve recovered are burnt and it was the only ship that went down in flames”. It was built as a merchant ship in France for the French East India Company in 1765, for service between France and the Orient. Its original name was Le Duc Duras. The French gave it to the Americans, who converted it into a 20-gun warship, renamed it and sent it to stop supplies reaching the English in America, with Jones at the wheel. On 23 September 1779, a four-hour battle erupted after the US raider was intercepted by the 50-gun British frigate Serapis, which had been escorting a convoy of supplies. It was the bloodiest battle on British naval record, with 250 men lost. Despite facing defeat, when Jones was prematurely asked to surrender by his British counterpart, he is reputed to have said: “I have not yet begun to fight”. Jones, a master seaman and naval strategist, eventually won the fight but lost his ship, which was burning and sinking. He boarded the Serapis, took it over and used it for the rest of the war. Mr Blackburn said he has satellite scans of two unusual bells which belonged to the ship. “One is the original Le Duc Duras bell and the other [was] added by the Americans”. He believes the discovery could bring in millions of pounds for the tourist industry.
Charity bags £4k raised by selling bags A DISABILITY charity has bagged £4,000 raised by selling carrier bags in a supermarket. Scarborough Disability Action Group has been given the money by Tesco, which
charges customers for plastic shopping bags. DAG manager Tim Vasey said: “We are absolutely thrilled with this award. It will improve both the physical and mental
“It will cause a pilgrimage of American tourists to the Yorkshire coastline for the rest of time, so the Americans can get in touch with their naval heritage,” he said.
Mr Blackburn said the find had been registered with the receiver of wreck - a government official who administers law dealing with maritime wrecks and salvage.

Thousands watch Emmerdale Shoebox appeal has a ‘pernicious, hidden agenda’ star turn Xmas lights on A NATIONAL charity which collects gift boxes in Scarborough for children in Muslim countries has been criticised in the national press. The Samaritan’s Purse has a “pernicious, hidden agenda” embedded in its annual Operation Christmas Child appeal, it is reported. People are urged to pack a shoebox with toys, pens, notebooks and treats for a poor child. Participating drop-off points include Shoe Zone and Little Footsteps nursery in Scarborough and Irton Garden Centre. But according to a report in the Guardian, “many good-hearted packers of shoeboxes know little of the organisation behind this scheme”. The shoeboxes are delivered with a missionary book of bible stories aimed at converting Muslims to Christianity. Samaritan’s Purse, which has a £16m income, is run by “fundamentalist American evangelical Christian missionaries”, led by Rev Franklin Graham, son of Billy Graham and CEO of the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association. Graham spoke at the inauguration of George W Bush and Donald Trump. He told the Washington Post that God had intervened to
cause Trump’s election: “I could sense going across the country that God was going to do something this year. And I believe that at this election, God showed up”. On Facebook he wrote: “We are under attack by Muslims at home and abroad. We should stop all immigration of Muslims to the US until this threat with Islam has been settled. Every Muslim that comes into this country has the potential to be radicalised – and they do their killing to honour their religion and Muhammad”. The Guardian report continued: “Most people packing shoeboxes don’t know they are being used for anti-Muslim proselytising. Or that they are backing a pro-Trump, anti-gay message. Some may be from churches sharing that evangelical brand – but I would guess most parents and children haven’t a clue what they are supporting. “Those who donate to the scheme are wellintentioned and want to make an altruistic contribution, but donors in the UK should be aware of the nature of Operation Christmas Child’s activities and instead find a reputable and inclusive charity which has no ulterior motives and only has children’s best interests at heart”.

Words and photos by Dave Barry THOUSANDS of people watched Scarborough’s Christmas lights being turned on at the Yorkshire Coast Radio roadshow outside the lifeboathouse. The organisers clearly have good links with Emmerdale. Last year, the TV soap’s longest serving actors, Mark Charnock and Dominic Brunt, flicked the switch. This year it was Matthew Wolfenden’s turn to join host Paddy Billington on the mobile stage. Matthew plays the son of Eric Pollard in the Yorkshire soap. The actors are booked via McCain, who have sponsored Emmerdale since 2014. Gaudily-clad actors appearing in Christmas shows at the Stephen Joseph Theatre, the YMCA and the Spa brightened up the occasion. No-one seemed to mind that most of the Christmas lights were in the town centre and couldn’t be seen. The switch-on ceremony
used to be held in the centre but was stopped over fears concerning crowd safety. In lieu of Christmas lights, the assembled throng on the seafront was treated to a fireworks display partly paid for out of Cty Cllr Janet Jefferson’s locality budget. On a crisp, clear evening, with the Grand Hotel silhouetted in the distance, the beach was closed to the public so the fireworks could be set off from it. Foreshore Road was closed to traffic. Slade’s Merry Xmas Everybody, followed by Wizzard’s I Wish it Could be Christmas Every Day and Boney M’s Mary’s Boy Child, began the relentless onslaught of festive songs from which few will escape over the coming weeks. The event was organised by the Chamber of Trade, the Hospitality Association, South Bay Traders Association, Scarborough Council and local theatres.

Christmas activities in Cayton A COMPETITION to find the best outdoor Christmas decorations in Cayton is under way. Parish councillors will draw up a shortlist on 10 December. There are two categories: unusual / animated and traditional. Residents who want their lights to be judged are being asked to turn them on by 5pm on 10 and 13 December.
Borough mayor Cllr Joe Plant will judge the finalists on 13 December, from 5.30pm. Afterwards, Cllr Plant will call at the winners’ properties to present their prizes. * Rev Andrew Moreland, Rev Bruce Russell, the Salvation Army Band, Cayton School pupils and Father Christmas will join the carol singing around a Christmas tree outside the Star Inn on 19 December, from 6.30pm. A collection will be taken for the band.
Flying start for pin-badge minder A VOLUNTEER pin-badge minder for the RSPB got off to a flying start. Martin Dove of Valley Road, Scarborough, says his success is mainly down to two cafes. Espresso Yourself and Walkers each raised over £100 in the first six weeks. The enamel badges portray various animals including birds, snakes, spiders, bats,
butterflies, flowers, otters, dolphins, foxes, squirrels and highland cows. The cost a suggested donation of £1 each. Any local business that would like to have a box of assorted RSPB pins on display for customers should email Martin at martindove@yahoo.com.

Rescue drama after man, 70, falls down cliff Words and photos by Dave Barry
The patient was treated on the ground before being transferred to the Yorkshire Air Ambulance, which flew him to James Cook University Hospital in Middlesbrough. The coastguards helicopter didn’t land but hovered in the air at clifftop height; the YAA helicopter landed on a flat bit of grass near the skatepark. Royal Albert Drive was closed for the duration of the rescue, creating two queues of traffic. Most of the vehicle occupants got out to watch the drama unfold, joining hundreds of onlookers on the seafront and clifftop. The coastguards described the operation as a good example of multiple emergency services working together for the benefit of the community.
A 70-YEAR-OLD local cyclist fell 25m down a steep cliff at Scarborough, triggering an elaborate rescue mission. At least 15 emergency vehicles including two helicopters attended the incident. The man was on the narrow clifftop footpath between Rutland Terrace and Mulgrave Place. He tumbled into trees and bushes on the slope while trying to retrieve some of his belongings, which had fallen over the railing. At least a dozen coastguards, medics and other emergency-services personnel either abseiled down or clambered up to the nearinaccessible point where the man landed. They put him in a stretcher which was winched up by the coastguards helicopter and then down to the ground below.

Brompton pub closes
Closed: Brompton pub
THE OLD Post Office Tavern in Brompton has closed, after nearly three years. Licensees Neil and Sue Sands pulled their last pint on 31 October. In April, the tiny pub shared the honours for the Campaign for Real Ale’s rural pub of the year with the Sun in Pickering. The premises are owned by Steve and Colleen Risker, who ran the post office and shop for nine years until about 2012. It had been a post office for many decades and the village shop for over century. Mr Asker said he was looking for someone to either sell or lease the premises to.
Young man banned for drink driving A DRUNK young man who ploughed his car into a tree has been banned at Scarborough magistrates court. Steven Cockerill, 20, was driving with a passenger on the A170 between Middleton and Pickering on 19 May, when he collided heavily with a tree. He agreed to a roadside breath test, which he failed, and refused a second test in hospital, where he and the passenger were taken. Cockerill, of Marton Lane in Pickering, was disqualified from driving for 14 months and ordered to pay a £300 fine, a £30 victim surcharge and £620 costs. Traffic constable Jamie Lord said: “Cockerill could have seriously injured or, worse, killed his passenger or another innocent road user through his irresponsible behaviour”.

Dragon-boat races will be back in 2020 Words and photos by Dave Barry ROTARY’S annual dragon-boat races are giving 2019 a miss as the venue is being revamped. A new cafe and amenity complex will be built at Wykeham lakes and the water-park activities will be developed. “In view of this, it’s a good time to take a break and plan for revitalised dragon-boat races on 7 June 2020”, says John Bradley, who chairs Rotary’s races committee. “We’ve had eight good years and while the event has developed, it’s probably time that we review the whole format and its operation”, Mr Bradley said. “Some elements have possibly got a bit stale so we need to look at ways to refresh it and keep the interest going”. Over the last eight years, the event has been supported by about 150 company sponsors, countless energetic paddlers and thousands
of spectators. Mr Bradley was speaking at the Rotary Club of Scarborough Cavaliers’ annual presentation evening at the Downe Arms in Wykeham. Over £6,000, some of which was raised at other fundraising events, was shared out between 19 charities. The event was “a great success, due to excellent support from sponsors, some real energy and commitment from a wide variety of paddlers and a lot of graft from our club”, said club president Tony Stevens. “As well as raising money for local charities, the event is a fun family day-out in a glorious setting”, he said, adding that £80,000 had been raised over the last eight years. The teams collect their own sponsorship, half of which goes to a charity they nominate. The other half goes to Rotary-nominated charities.
This year’s races were entered by 23 teams and raised about £9,000. The £400 per boat paid by sponsors covers the event costs. This year’s recipients were PDSA, Yorkshire Air Ambulance, Hearing Dogs for Deaf People, the YMCA, Kingfishers Swimming Club, the Richard Fox Memorial Club, Just for William, Scarborough Talking News, the hospital’s chemotherapy department, Whitby Wildlife Sanctuary, Willows Lull, Springhead School, 739 Squadron ATC, Scarborough Samaritans, Liam Critchett's Next Step, Saint Catherine’s, the Rainbow Centre, Macmillan Cancer Support and Sash. Dial a Ride, Springhead School, Sash and Scarborough Survivors will be the club's charities for focussed support over the next year.

‘One in four bust-ups happens in cars’ ONE in four domestic bust-ups in Scarborough happens in cars, according to new research. The stress of being on the road leads to more bickering and bust-ups than anywhere else in our weekly lives. The ‘carguments’ range from falling out over directions (33%), a partner’s driving skills (32%), going too fast (17%) and what’s on the radio (8%) to non-motoring related topics that could happen anywhere. Classic topics include finances (17%), family (16%), children (14%) and chores (11%). The fall-out from an in-car bust-up can last longer too, with one in eight of those surveyed admitting they can go anything from three hours to more than a day before speaking to their partner again. Scarborough women admit to starting more in-car arguments than men (45% vs 42%), with
“Yes it was”. “No it wasn’t!”
those aged under 24 most likely to lose their temper. One in 20 of those surveyed say they have stormed out of the car following an argument and walked the rest of the way, rather than stay in the vehicle with their partner. The research was conducted by independent car buying site carwow.
Witnesses sought for spate of commercial burglaries POLICE in Scarborough are appealing for witnesses and information about a series of commercial burglaries that could be linked. The businesses targeted include: Proudfoots in Scalby Road (2.30am on 4 Nov). A large amount of cigarettes was stolen after a door was smashed with a sledgehammer. Hair by Helena in Westborough (3-5 Nov). Keys and cash were taken. Dobson’s in Roscoe Street (2.05am-3.20am, 31 Oct). Four Stihl orange and silver chainsaws were taken. One Stop Shop in Newborough (11.30pm on 27 Oct and 12.08am on 28 Oct). Cash stolen.
Two local men, aged 47 and 29, have been arrested on suspicious of burglary. They have been released under investigation while investigations continue. Anyone with information about any of the burglaries, including possible suspicious activity around the time of the incidents, is urged to come forward as soon as possible. Ring the police on 101, select option 2 and ask for Vicky Millington. Or email Vicky. Millington@northyorkshire.pnn.police.uk. Alternatively, contact Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555111. Quote reference 12180206182.

Church service remembers crew who died on lifeboat SCARBOROUGH RNLI’s annual memorial service takes place at St Mary’s Church on Sunday 9 December. The service marks the 64th anniversary of one of the worst disasters in the lifeboat’s history. Three crew died when the ECJR lifeboat overturned in the south bay in a terrible storm on 8 December 1954. In atrocious conditions, with enormous waves and a howling gale, the lifeboat had been at sea all afternoon, escorting fishing boats back to the harbour. With its rescue work complete, the ECJR was engulfed by waves and capsized close to the
harbour mouth. The deaths of coxswain Jack Sheader, second coxswain John Cammish and signalman Francis Bayes devastated their families and numbed the whole town with shock and grief. Every year since then, the anniversary of the tragedy has been commemorated by a church service remembering those three in particular but also other lifeboat crew who have perished at sea. They include Frank Dalton, who died in a horrific accident in tumultuous seas on 9 December 1951. The service is due to begin at 6.30pm.

Workshops create Weaponness mosaic ARTY readers who would like to help make a colourful mosaic to be displayed in Weaponness Valley are welcome to attend free community workshops. The mosaic is being created in the Undercroft arts centre at the back of St James’s Church on Monday evenings. Weaponness Valley Community Group has received a county-council grant to create a mosaic map, celebrating places of local interest in the spirit of the Scarborough Trails and Pathways to Health initiatives.
The Market Hall was busy
at previous services. They are passed on to Social Services for distribution to children in Scarborough and district who they have reason to believe would not otherwise receive a gift on Christmas morning. Coffee, tea and mince pies will be served afterwards. A collection will be taken in aid of the Citadel’s open house on Christmas Day. The 10.30am service will be followed by Christmas lunch for people who would normally be on their own on Christmas Day.
Features will include Oliver's Mount, the Mere and the Oriel. The mosaic is to be installed permanently on Ashburn Road along with the stone sculpture known locally as the Seadragon. Run by artist Gaby Naptali, the workshops are on 3, 10, and 17 December and 7, 14, 21 and 28 January, from 7-9pm. All materials are provided. * The entrance the arts centre is at the top of Valley Road.
National award for nurturing school Words and photo by Dave Barry SCARBOROUGH’S Pupil-Referral Unit has become the only school in the country to win a national nurturing award. The accolade is given to schools which demonstrate exemplary practice in embedding a nurturing culture, enhancing teaching and learning by focusing on emotional needs and development. It was presented by Kevin Kibble, chief executive of Nurtureuk, a charity which aims to break cycles of low achievement and tackle social exclusion in children. To qualify for the award, the school’s emotional literacy manager, Emma Allison, submitted 6,000 supporting documents. She said: “Our children have displayed bad behaviour in mainstream schools and are often written off because people assume they are bad children. “But they aren’t bad, they just don’t understand the way they feel. They are communicating their needs through their behaviour. People assume children should be fit for school when it is the other way round: the school should be fit for children”, Emma said. “Nurture provides us with the capacity to
fulfil the individual needs of the child”. In January, the unit was rated ‘good with outstanding features’ by Ofsted, making it the town’s best secondary school. It is based in Westwood. Head teacher Elaine Mallen said: “We are especially proud that we are the first school in North Yorkshire and the first pupil-referral unit in the country to have received the accreditation. “When I was appointed in 2015, I was determined that our school would offer a broad curriculum and a variety of experiences in an environment that promotes security, routines, clear boundaries and carefully planned learning opportunities to ensure emotional growth and academic success. “As a nurturing school, a key focus has been on the balance between care and challenge; incorporating warmth and connection alongside structure, high expectations and a focus on achievement and attainment. The aim is to enable our pupils to fully meet their potential in mainstream schools”. The award presentation was attended by local MP Robert Goodwill, who described it as “an amazing achievement.
“It’s unusual for a pupil-referral unit to receive an award, because it’s often dealing with some of the most challenging children who have already been excluded from one or more mainstream schools”, Mr Goodwill said. “The way this pupil-referral unit has turned around so many young people is absolutely to be applauded”. Mr Kibble said the award recognised “the outstanding and inspirational work of the whole staff team in embedding nurturing principles throughout the school.
“The beneficiaries of their hard work every day are the children attending the school, their families and the wider community. Our standards to achieve this award are exacting and many congratulations are due to the staff, pupils and everyone associated with the school. “We look forward to working with many more schools to help them to embed principles to support the emotional and behavioural needs of their pupils and to help more schools to achieve this prestigious award”.

Scarborough Review • www.thescarboroughreview.co.uk
Now is a great time to spot porpoises SCARBOROUGH is possibly the best place in the UK to see harbour porpoises. They are seen from the Marine Drive all year round but the best time is from November to March. A cousin of the dolphin, the harbour porpoise is dark grey and about 1.3 to 1.5m long. Its triangular dorsal fin is often visible as it surfaces to breathe. Sightings of the harbour porpoise can be reported to the Sea Watch Foundation (SWF). This national charity works hard to improve the conservation and protection of whales, dolphins and porpoises in British and Irish waters. SWF monitors their numbers and locations around the UK through a network of over 1,000 observers. The idea is to gain valuable knowledge of the health of the marine environment and insight into the effects of chemical pollution, noise
disturbance, over-fishing, accidental capture in fishing gear and climate change. SWF aims to involve the public in scientific monitoring and raise awareness and understanding of marine mammals and the threats they face. To report a sighting, contact Stuart Baines, an assistant regional coordinator for SWF in Yorkshire, via the Scarborough porpoise Facebook and Twitter pages or by email on scarboroughporpoise@btinternet.com.

Club celebrates global work of colleagues Words and photo by Dave Barry A CANDLE-LIGHTING ceremony to remember Soroptimists around the world was staged by the charity’s Scarborough branch. Members celebrated the work being carried out worldwide by the women’s service organisation. Its mission is to make a difference to the lives of women and girls through education, empowerment and enablement. Projects are undertaken locally, nationally and internationally to address women’s issues. The evening was attended by 15 club members including secretary Angela
Edwards and joint presidents-elect Janine Maw and Helen Hyams. They were joined by Yorkshire president Pat Kilbane, from Leeds; her successor, Rita Leaman; members from Beverley and York; borough mayor and mayoress Joe and Margaret Plant; and residents of Montrosa, a supported living residence in Esplanade Road, where the meeting was held. Helen, who is a paediatric physiotherapist, gave a talk on her recent visit to Ghana, working with children with cerebral palsy and their families. The evening was rounded off by a buffet supper with an international theme provided by the staff at Montrosa.
Just saying hello can make a difference A CAMPAIGN tackling loneliness and isolation in Scarborough and Filey has been hailed a success. The Say Hello campaign in November was inspired by interviews conducted during research workshops. “In particular, it was when one of the interviewers fed back to workshop participants that a chap they interviewed went to a café every day in the hope that someone would have a chat but no-one ever did and yet he still kept trying”, says one of the organisers, Karen Atkinson of the county council. “That case study made loneliness and isolation seem real to those at the workshop. It also made it seem something that could be tackled”, says Karen, whose job title is stronger communities delivery manager for the Scarborough district. People at the workshop knew of many places where the man could have gone, where he would have been welcomed, been able to chat and learn about activities to get involved in. Karen says: “So we wanted to raise awareness that it doesn’t take much to make a difference, as well as celebrate the great groups, cafés and businesses that the area has and to
encourage people looking to try something new or wanting to meet people to try them”. Castle ward in Scarborough was one of four locations around the county chosen for the research, in which people were interviewed and their stories recorded. The result emphasised how even the small act of saying hello to someone can make a difference to their day. A series of community events encouraged people to come together, enjoy themselves, try something new and meet people. The Scarborough events included business owners meeting at Yay cafe in Woodend; coffee mornings at Falsgrave community centre and the Brunswick Pavilion; café socials at Walkers in Bar Street, Solange in North Street, East Coast Kitchen in Newborough and Amelia’s in Aberdeen Walk; a community fun day and a gig for under-18s by Rocket Smith, Tom Townsend and Circa 15 at the YMCA; a games event and a volunteering fair at the library; a comedy night at First Light Trust; a coffee morning at Gallows Close Centre in Barrowcliff; and a family fun day at the Summit. In Filey, a café social was held at Frothies.
Al-fresco stalls in town-centre precinct FOOD and gift-items will be sold from distinctive green and white striped stalls in Westborough on Sunday 16 December, from 10am to 4pm. Co-organiser Caroline Anderson said: “Scarborough Food and Gift Fair offers a different range of items for the town’s shoppers and is an excellent way to support local producers and businesses. It is ideally
located in the town centre and is perfectly timed for Christmas purchases. “Christmas is a time to indulge and shopping at our event means some important purchases can be made ahead of the big day, hopefully avoiding that last-minute panic. “We are hoping to make this a regular Sunday event in 2019 and we hope to see everyone in Westborough on the 16th”.
Plant sale at the Street A sale of plants, seeds and home-made chutney will be held at the Street in Scarborough on Saturday 8 December, from noon until 3pm. It will raise funds for Growing Opportunities (GO), the Street’s on-site garden project. GO has been running a free garden group at the Street since spring 2017. The main aim is to bring people together through the activity of organic food growing and nature gardening.
GO trustee Christine Mackay said: “Being outdoors is so beneficial to our wellbeing. Even better to be outdoors harvesting produce and helping to create a diverse and productive garden that will be enjoyed long into the future”. n To find out more, ring 07422 972915 or email info@growingopportunities.org.uk.

Charity handouts from Raincliffe Buffs ONE of the country’s largest fraternal organisations has donated £350 to four Scarborough charities. The Raincliffe lodge of the Royal Antedeluvian Order of Buffaloes, commonly known as the Buffs, raised the money over the last year. It has given £50 to the junior section of Seamer Cricket Club, £50 to the music department at St Augustine's School, £100 to the Disabled Swimming Club and £150 to Saint Catherine’s. The Buffs started nationally in 1822 and locally in 1911. The organisation aids members, their families, dependents of former members and other charitable bodies. It has three lodges in Scarborough, with about 30 members. The Raincliffe lodge,
formed in 1912, has eight members who meet at 8pm every Wednesday at the Westover Club in Westover Road. New members are welcome, says secretary Ernie Eves. Local Buffs have hosted quarterly grand lodge meetings at Spa this year. The last one is on 1 December.

WIN A CAR! A NEW Toyota Aygo car is being raffled in aid of Saint Catherine’s. Tickets cost £1 and can be bought at the hospice and at its 11 shops around the region.
The car, which sells for about £8,800, has been donated by Vantage Toyota of Scarborough. The raffle will be drawn on 15 March.
About Saint Catherine's... SAINT CATHERINE’S provide care and support at home and in the Hospice for adults with a terminal illness, and to their families, and friends. Their services allow a patient to remain as active as possible and make the most of everyday. Patients don’t need to come and stay at the Hospice in order to access services. A Community Nurse Specialist or a Hospice
At Home nurse can visit a patient at home. Sometimes, patients may spend time at the Day Hospices or at an outpatient clinic. At times patients may need the round-the-clock care and support provided by the in-Patient Unit. Staff and volunteers provide a respectful space where patients can chat and laugh, make friends, and ask questions. All of Saint Catherine’s Hospice services are free of charge to patients and families.

Saint Catherine’s Light-up-a-Life services LIGHT-UP-A-LIFE services are being staged by Saint Catherine’s at St John’s Church in Filey at 3pm on 2 December and at the hospice at 6pm on 6 December. They will feature an illuminated tree and be led by the hospice’s spiritual coordinator, Janice Midwood. Everyone attending will receive a candle to signify the life of someone special and two cardboard Christmas baubles. Each will have space for a personal message. One can be taken to a service to be blessed. Once the services have finished, the baubles will be displayed in the hospice chapel room. Fundraiser Debbie Kay said: “Christmas
can be a time where families and friends come together. Our Light-up-a-Life services give everyone the chance to share a special moment of remembrance together. “All the money raised will go direct to patient care and help us to continue to support the families who need us. There is no minimum donation. All we ask is that people are as generous as they can be. We always appreciate all the wonderful support we receive, not just at Christmas but throughout the year. Thank you to all our supporters”. Donations can be made online at www. saintcatherines.org.uk or by ringing 378406.
A CLAY-PIGEON shoot in May helped raise £20,000 for Saint Catherine’s in Scarborough. The shoot was organised by the Dawnay estate in Wykeham, as was a second day of fundraising. The two events raised enough to fund the hospice for two days, 8 and 9 November, when estate representatives visited Saint Catherine’s to see how the money was being spent. Fundraiser Nicky Grunwell said: “Each day, Saint Catherine’s needs to raise £10,000 to deliver our services free of charge to patients and their families across the 1,600 square miles we cover.
“The Dawnay estate’s donation means they were able to pay for two entire days of Saint Catherine’s care by ‘sponsoring a day’. “By sponsoring a day of Saint Catherine’s care, Dawnay estate has helped patients and their families receive the support they need through a difficult and challenging time. We are really grateful for the support of the estate to not only sponsor one day of care, but two”. Representatives of the Dawnay estate are pictured with, from the hospice, chief executive Mike Wilkerson, Simon Ward, who chairs the trustees, fundraisers Debbie Kay and Nicky Grunwell, and Tracy Calcraft, director of fundraising and marketing.

Mountain trekkers raise nearly £50k A TREK through the Atlas mountains raised nearly £50,000 for Saint Catherine’s in Scarborough - which is now planning a follow-up. In September, 33 supporters climbed Mount Toubkal. At 4,167 metres, it is the highest peak in north Africa and the Arab world. The happy Atlas trekkers
The fundraisers flew to Marrakech then trekked through a chain of Berber villages to alpine pastures set beneath the backdrop of the Atlas mountains. Among those taking part were four sisters: Belinda Leppington, Angie Kellett, Jackie Critchett and Cindy Potton. None of the money raised - £48,980 - went
towards travel, accommodation or other expenses associated with the trip. Hospice fundraiser Rhiannon Hunt said: “We want to say a huge congratulations to our wonderful group of supporters who took on the Atlas mountains. They were tested to their limits and said it was an experience they will never forget”.
The hospice’s fundraising and marketing director, Tracy Calcraft, said: “They trained hard and fundraised for nearly 18 months to complete this challenge and we are astounded by their achievement. They put their heart and soul into the trek and the results are fantastic. We are always overwhelmed by the lengths that people will go to, to support us. This money will go directly towards helping us provide care in people’s homes and at our in-patient unit for the communities across Scarborough, Whitby, Ryedale and parts of the East Riding”. * Not one to rest on its laurels, the hospice is planning its next fundraising trek, in the Canadian Rockies from 22-30 June 2020. Half the places have already been booked. The registration fee is £350. Trekkers will be expected to raise at least £2,500 sponsorship. Fundraising tips and materials are available to help raise the sponsorship; ring Rhiannon on 378406.

It’s a bird… It’s a plane… It’s Yorkshire Air Ambulance THERE are five million people across Yorkshire’s four million acres and mixed terrain. In emergency situations, an ambulance can’t always get to us a quick as we might need it. That’s where the Yorkshire Air Ambulance comes in. With it’s helicopters, it provides a rapid response, life saving service to the people of Yorkshire. The charity began life in a Portakabin at Leeds Bradford Airport in 2000. The first ever helicopter the charity used was a 20 year old leased Bolokow – something they had to put up with until 2006 when their chopper was updated. That year was also when the charity shot to fame after rescuing Top Gear presenter Richard Hammond when he crashed a rocketpropelled car travelling at 300mph at Elvington Airfield, just outside of York. The Yorkshire Air Ambulance picked him up and dashed him over to Leeds. Following that, donations form the public reached £2 million, and the charity featured in their own BBC 1 documentary
series the following year... hosted by Richard Hammond. The YAA is operational seven days a week, 365 days a year and needs to raise £12,000 every single day to keep both of Yorkshire’s air ambulances in the air and maintained. This is equivalent to £4.4million each year. It currently attends over 1000 incidents a year, that’s four a day on average.
They need you The Yorkshire Air Ambulance isn't made up of just pilots and paramedics; they need a whole army of ground crew to keep them flying. Right now there are volunteer roles available like speaking at public events on behalf of the charity, manning fund-raising events, and collection box and info stewards. However, if you have a special skill that you think the Air Ambulance could put to good use, get in touch today. Call 01422 237900, visit www. yorkshireairambulance.org.uk or email info@ yaa.org.uk
Christmas lights display now has 10,000 bulbs Words and photos by Dave Barry RAIN and fake snow fell on a gloomy November evening as a retired electrician ceremoniously threw the switch on his big Christmas lights display. A couple of hundred people including lots of young children ogled at the bright spectacle in a residential side-street south of Scarborough. It’s a pity the display is tucked away in Seaview Crescent, just off the quiet, disused Filey road, as it would otherwise attract many more spectators. Tony Baker’s neighbours across the road have a grandstand view but everyone else has to walk or drive. Tony, who has been steadily developing his enormous collection of Christmas lights for eight years, estimates that he has about 10,000 LED bulbs and 70 Christmas trees. He says the electricity costs about £5 a night and that he is looking for sponsors. When he turned the lights on for the first time, Tony raised money with a collection for Yorkshire Air Ambulance, which had a stall next to the fake-snow machine. Donations can be made in a yellow postbox built into a garden wall. Tony chose the charity as it helped his wife and daughter a few years ago. Other characters taking part were the YAA mascot, Santa Claus and Paddy Billington of Yorkshire Coast Radio, who provided a running commentary and asked people to step out of the way of passing cars. * If you would like to sponsor the lights, ring Tony on 07904 980336.

The Yorkshire Air Ambulance was in action in Scarborough recently, when a 70-year-old man fell 25m down a cliff near the castle. The helicopter, which landed near the skatepark on Royal Albert Drive, is pictured just after takeoff, taking the casualty to James Cook University Hospital in Middlesbrough. See full story on page 10.
Lottie veg sales raise £650 for charity Words and photo by Dave Barry SELLING allotment vegetables helped raise hundreds of pounds for Yorkshire Air Ambulance, in Newby. Every year, keen gardener Ken Gill usually has a healthy surplus of produce from his allotment at the bottom of Hackness Road. Much if not most of it ends up at the Danes Dyke and Keld Close Community Centre, next to the surgery. The centre is used by about 70 residents.
Ken asks for donations which are put into a collecting bottle. This year, £650 was raised for Yorkshire Air Ambulance. Last year, a similar amount was raised for the Motor Neurone Disease Association. Other items are sold, besides allotment produce. The photo shows Jean Dixon and Carol Lockwood from Yorkshire Air Ambulance accepting a cheque from some of the fundraisers.

YORKSHIRE Air Ambulance has two shops in the Vaults in Scarborough. One stocks a range of quality clothing and the other, bric a brac and home accessories. These shops aren’t just used as a retail base. They also serve as a point of contact for the charity where people can get information about fundraising, drop off donations or simply to get their hands on more information about the charity. Jean Dixon, who runs the Scarborough Yorkshire Ambulance charity shops, wants as many visitors as possible: “All are welcome, as customers, as fundraisers and for information.” “If someone wants to do some fundraising, people can come into the shop, I can give them some banners, give them some collecting boxes. Whatever they need virtually, whatever I can get my hands on to make their event look better." A seasoned fundraiser for the charity, Jean
used to give many talks: “I always used to say: If you see him flying about out there, give him a wave, because you’re helping to keep him flying out there. He’s saving lives, and your life, is the most precious thing you’ve got.” If you’d like to drop in a donation or get more information, visit Scarborough Market Vaults on Market Street. Open Monday - Saturday, 9.15am-4pm.

A penny for your thoughts A Cold Case at Christmas A short festive story by Claire Brooks
It was a crisp, white morning in the village of Sunnydale. The skies were clear, the air was fresh, and the sound of children laughing as they built snowmen in their gardens filled the street. “Wait for me!” One little girl cried, as she chased her brother through the snow, clutching her sled. “Let’s go and get some mince pies for Santa!” Beamed a young boy, as he grabbed his mother’s hand and hurried towards the shops. However, there was one house in Sunnydale that didn’t have a snowman in the garden. It belonged to Mr. Wilson. The retired teacher lived alone in his bungalow, following the recent unexpected death of his wife, Penny. It was the week before Christmas, and Mr. Wilson was getting ready to head into the village. His children had moved away to Australia years ago, and since Penny passed away he often spent his time alone. Although, there was always Dodger. Dodger was a little black dog. Like Mr. Wilson, he was no spring chicken, and he didn’t have any family either. In fact, he didn’t even have a home. Dodger was a stray, and lived under the bus shelter in the next village along. Yet, he and Mr. Wilson had made an unlikely friendship. Every morning, without fail, Dodger would turn up at Mr. Wilson’s house. He’d let Dodger in, they’d sit together by the fire, and then the scruffy mongrel would be on his way – with one of Mr. Wilson’s homemade shortbread biscuits. On this particular morning, Mr. Wilson was leaving his house while Dodger was turning onto his street. However, as the elderly man stepped onto the pavement, his walking stick gave way and he fell onto the cold, icy concrete. Dodger’s little paws froze. His ears pricked up and panic filled his eyes. He skidded over to his friend and licked his face to try and wake him. Nothing. Dodger knew he had to do something, so he started barking. “Mummy, look,” shouted one little girl from her garden. “That man’s hurt.”
Her mother called for an ambulance. It was Christmas Eve. Sunnydale stood silently under the starry sky. The snowy roads reflected all the colours of Christmas as the residents’ tree lights sparkled in their windows. There was only one house that stood dark. Mr. Wilson’s. For it was his late wife, Penny, who always put up the decorations. As the night drew in and midnight grew closer, a vehicle pulled up. A young woman got out of the driver’s seat and opened the passenger door. She then retrieved a wheelchair from the boot and brought it to the front of the car. “Are you sure you’ll be okay, Mr. Wilson?” She asked, softly. “It’s not a very nice time of year to be alone.” Mr. Wilson took one look at his house, and gently nodded. “I’m not alone.” He smiled. For lying on his doorstep, shivering and wet, was Dodger. Mr. Wilson went up to his loyal friend and leant forward to stroke him. As he did, he couldn’t quite believe his eyes. Under Dodger’s paw was a single, bright, copper penny. He looked up at the Heavens and thought of his beloved wife. Dodger’s tail started to wag as Mr. Wilson unlocked the front door. “I’m not alone.” He said softly, with a smile.

SPROUTS STUFFING TURKEY
A short festive story by Joe Thomas
I had three jumpers, a scarf and mittens on, but the cold still hit me like a snowball in the face. My breath steamed and I shivered myself onto the porch, nearly slipping on melted the snow that had puddled near Dad’s wellies. “HURRY, MARIGOLD!” Ellie shouted. Ellie was my kid sister: six years old and trouble. The type of tyke who could make you blow bubbles through your nose. She was already outside trying to catch snowflakes on her tongue. We were heading to see the snowman we’d made with Dad the day before. It had taken the three of us the whole day to build, but it had been worth it - he was one heck of a snowman. Then a blizzard hit hard, forcing us in and the electricity out. Dad had to make three trips to get firewood. But today was a perfect winter’s day - all sun and snow. I caught up with Ellie, and we headed to the garden with a hat and scarf for our new friend, but he wouldn’t be needing them… Ellie let out a scream, which brought Dad lumbering out of the house, hopping through the snow in his underwear and wellies like Bambi on ice. There was snow everywhere, but no snowman. He’d been iced. His head knocked clean off his shoulders. It was a chilling sight, and not just because of the weather. “What happened to Jon Snow?” Ellie demanded, trying to hold back the waterworks. “Oh no. Come here, don’t worry we can make another one.” Dad dropped to his knees to hug Ellie, who had lost her battle with the tears. “How about we go inside and you help me baste the turkey, and I’ll make you hot chocolate?” Ellie nodded, her face red and wet. She took Dad’s hand and he led her towards the house, before turning back to see if I was following. I wasn’t. I was knelt down in the snow with a broken carrot in my hand, the carrot that used to be John Snow’s nose. “Are you coming inside, Marigold?” Asked Dad. “Not yet, just keep the hot chocolate hot.” He looked at me the way grown ups look at eight year olds. “Don’t stay out too long.” He called back before vanishing into the house. I stood up, rifled through the pockets of my long coat, and found a lollypop: I’d always been a sucker for the sweet stuff, it helped me think. And I needed to think because things had got interesting. I had a case. I started at the bottom, which for this snowman could have been anywhere, but there was nothing. The crime scene was as clean as fresh snow, which was the whole problem: last night’s blizzard had wiped clear any evidence. But there was one thing I did know: snowmen don’t just combust in the middle of the night. The question was who, and the best way to get the answer was to figure out why. Last night’s snowfall meant that the culprit was either crazy as a bikini salesman in Lapland, or they lived close enough to see poor
Jon Snow from a window. Our garden shared a boundary with three different houses: The Marlowes to the left, The Watsons and Rocky to the right and Mr. Hammet at the back. The Marlowes were a pair of old-timers who at the first sign of a chill ran for the sun. Mr. Hammet is what we in the business call a ‘crank’, a real Grinch, especially at this time of the year. He’d already given two footballs the pop, but he’d taken a tumble a couple of weeks ago and was eating ice cream in hospital. I was running out of suspects - and time - and I don’t like my turkey dry. I crossed the garden, pushing through the snow and leaving a deep trail behind me. I reached the fence, freshly fixed since our last run in with The Watsons. Let’s be frank. The Watsons aren’t the problem, they’re a lovely couple - theatre types - always good for presents at Christmas time. The problem is Rocky, the Hound from Hell. Rocky had a reputation. Mid-summer he broke through the fence and destroyed Dad’s prize-winning tomatoes, chewed through three feet of wire and a sheet of green house glass. It wasn’t a pretty sight. I climbed on top of Dad's wood shed to take a look over the fence. I scanned the marshmallow of snow that topped their perfectly cut grass. But no sign of Rocky. Then I saw him, and he was a sight for sore eyes. Sat behind the conservatory doors, he’d had the chop, the snip, and a run in with the dog groomer. Even for a poodle he looked silly. And there went my last suspect: Rocky was an award-winning pooch, and a fresh haircut meant he was under lockdown. Rocky’s alibi was as strong as industrial hairspray - and I was all out of ideas. I looked through the window and saw Dad and Ellie preparing the turkey. I saw the fire roaring in the front room and it all became clear. “Did you catch the bad guy, Marigold?” Ellie asked through a mouthful of sprouts. “Nope.” I saw the tears welling, and nobody likes tears at Christmas. “But I know who did it, and it wasn’t their fault.” Dad choked briefly on a roast potato, he looked panicked and was about to speak, but I got in there first. “It was Santa Claus.” “Santa Claus?” “Yep. He was dropping off our presents, but got lost in the blizzard and those reindeer don’t have windscreen wipers.” There was a long silence. Too long. “Well…We all make mistakes.” Ellie said in a rather matter-of-fact sort of way. And that was that. Case closed. The rest of the night was just how it should be: chestnuts roasting on an open fire, with the wood from Dad’s shed in the garden.
“The crime scene was clean as fresh snow, which was the whole problem”

SCARBOROUGH IS BOMBED!
Last month’s Scarborough Tale highlighted the time in Scarborough of famous poet, Wilfred Owen during the first world war. We remembered and celebrated the ending of that war. This month I’m highlighting an event around the beginning of that war. Once again, the central character is a famous writer.
SCARBOROUGH TALES BY JOE COATES It was Wednesday morning, 16th December, 1914. Bleary-eyed girls entered the dining hall of Queen Margaret’s School for breakfast. Porridge again! The girls settled and waited for the head of school to say prayers. They were hungry. “Come on! It’s nearly eight o’ clock,” whispered 16 year old Winifred Holtby from Rudston. She’d been at Queen Margaret’s for several years. At last, prayers began. “Bless us Oh Lord, in these thy gifts we are about to receive. May the Lord make us truly thankful. Amen.” At last! Hands reached for spoons. But before porridge was touched…. BANG! And another... BANG!!! , Enormous explosions nearby rocked the building. And another! BANG!!! Someone shrieked, “Guns!”. Another screamed, “Bombs!” Above the noises of fear and panic, the school head called out, “Outside everyone!” BANG!!! “Get your coats and get outside, now!” Staff helped marshal the girls outside. The breakfast porridge remained untasted. News had come through that there were two German battlecruisers in the North Sea firing bombs at Scarborough. Decisions were taken quickly. The girls started to run at first, staying in a group though needing to get away from the school, up the hill. What a journey! Just keep going! We’ll be safe when we get over the hill and down to Seamer. Shells continued to explode. Buildings in town and at South Bay were bombarded. Smoke rose into the air from buildings hit BANG!!! Houses had walls blown out. Roofs were ripped off
and windows smashed. BANG!!! There was widespread panic. People thought a German invasion was happening, and many began to flea. After about half an hour the noises of explosions stopped. The battlecruisers left, heading for Whitby and more bombardment. Scarborough was in shock. This had been totally unexpected. The town was not prepared, undefended. Many fled in fear of invasion. Trains were full. Roads in all directions had masses of folk escaping on foot. Many didn’t return till well after Christmas. Over 500 shells had rained down on the town. 18 people had been killed, the oldest aged 65, the youngest aged 14 months, many more injured, at least 80, each family having their own story. This list of casualties includes the first death of a civilian on home soil in this war. Even today, a few bomb scars are still visible around the castle, St. Mary’s church and South Bay buildings. Meanwhile, the girls continued their walk to safety. Some were taking turns for stretcher duty, as a sick teacher had to be carried. Seamer was three miles away. The girls were still hungry. Stomachs were rumbling! Staff had brought a supply of biscuits. A vicar brought them some bread and a hot drink, so they sat in a group on a bank and enjoyed a picnic. The girls found four tiny children, very fearful of the noise from the bombs. They’d lost their mother, and were in a pitiful state.
The girls decided to carry these half-dressed mites. At the top of the hill they found their mother, who was “wild with joy at seeing her bairns safe and sound”. Young Winifred Holtby was interested in everything. She made observations on others escaping the bombardment and possible invasion. As well as the Queen Margaret School pupils, there was an old, old horse pulling a cart full of children. The cart was driven by a young girl. There was a motorcar built for two, with at least five travelling in it. There was a country cart full of old women and children. There were many poor, old women staggering on up the hill. There was a posh car with just a posh lady driver, no passengers, swishing past them all. Winifred would soon write a letter to a friend about this event. A newspaper published the whole letter and recognised her literary gift. No surprise that she had a career in journalism, an interest in politics, particularly women’s rights,friend of Vera Brittain. She also wrote eight novels, the most well known being “South Riding”, published in 1935, completed only a month before she died, aged 37. copyright joecoates2018 www.northbaytales.com This bombardment shocked the nation. Indeed, recruitment posters bore the slogan, "REMEMBER SCARBOROUGH! ENLIST NOW". A memorial to all who died, innocent people, is in Manor Road cemetary. Sadly,
innocent people continue to be killed in areas of warfare across the world. Those escaping become refugees if they are unable to return. Some modern day refugees have fled from war zones and arrived to settle in Scarborough. As we approach Christmas when "Unto us a child is born," let's hope for the peace and goodwill among people which the angels announced to the shepherds near Bethlehem.
Young swimmers win medals and trophies galore Words and photos by Dave Barry MEDALS and trophies galore were won at the Kingfishers swimming club’s 39th annual championships, at the sport centre in Scarborough. Secretary Amanda Lee says 216 members completed 1,273 swims divided over 30 events - all split by gender, stroke, novice or top squad and age. Nearly 50 volunteers gave up their Sunday to run the championships. The top performer was David Hope, who took four new club records in the 10 years boys top squad category, including one that had stood since 1991. David won all six events in his age 10 categories. The volunteers were assisted in presenting the awards by Scarborough Council’s sports development officer Matt Hewison and the borough mayor and mayoress, Joe and Margaret Plant.
Kingfishers meet at the sport centre. Their main club night is Wednesday from 6-10pm, although they also have sessions on Mondays, Wednesdays, Saturdays and Sundays. From April to September, open-water swimmers and triathletes train at Wykeham lakes. The club was founded in 1979 when Plaxton Swimming Club and Scarborough Castle Open Water Club merged. It will celebrate its 40th anniversary next year. Kingfishers is run by volunteers, is Swim Mark accredited, affiliated to Swim England and British Triathlon and is a registered charity. New members are welcome as long as they can swim at least 50 metres in three strokes. The club has a masters section for adults.

DECEMBER
HERE ARE A FEW FAMOUS FACES YOU SHARE YOUR SIGN WITH...
KEEP IT LOCAL
L to R: Brad Pitt, Jay-Z & Taylor Swift
SAGITTARIUS
22ND NOV - 21ST DEC
No rough edges or nasty surprises during the month ahead, and Christmas this year promises to be rather different than some you have known in years gone by. It offers greater intimacy where relationships are concerned, and more flexibility with plans and timetables. Some members of the sign will enjoy a renaissance of romantic and sexual energy, and there
CAPRICORN
22ND DECEMBER - 20TH JANUARY Okay, so we know that Christmas comes but once a year, and we know that Capricorns can be very Christmassy people, but if you’re tempted to push the boat out, just watch those bank accounts. And don’t push it out too far! This should be a lovely month for you, albeit quite busy in many respects – but keep an eye on finances and don’t blow your budgets.
AQUARIUS
20TH JANUARY - 18TH FEBRUARY You should see the end of a number of restrictions, which have frequently hindered your progress throughout the year. Finances seem quite strong, so some of you will elect to either work over the festive season, or if nothing else, put in some extra hours in the run up to the holiday. Relationships and romances get a bit of a boost at this time, so enjoy!
PISCES
19TH FEBRUARY - 20TH MARCH For most members of the sign, this should be a fairly calm and predictable period, but careerminded females don’t easily fit into this category. As such, it may be a month of making plans and decisions that will enhance your career profile in the New Year and open the doors to greater financial opportunities.
ARIES
21ST MARCH - 19TH APRIL December is always dominated by Christmas, and while Christmas can be a tricky period for a lot of people (and has been for you in the past), this year things seem to work out rather well. Extra work brings in some extra cash, and domestic routines dovetail without too much trauma or drama. Travel aspects look good for the 27th, 28th and 29th.
TAURUS
20TH APRIL - 20TH MAY An easy going month without too many rough edges. Christmas plans seem to be sensible rather than exciting, and if the social aspects of the season seem a little quiet it’s probably because this is the way you’ve planned them. Budgets need to be adhered to, and important reunions immediately after Christmas look likely.
GEMINI
21ST MAY - 20TH JUNE This probably needs to be a calm and tranquil period topped off by some gentle Christmas cheer, but the chances are you’re going to be flying round like a blue tailed fly, being all things to all people, and making far too many family commitments in an attempt to please everybody. Stop it immediately. Sit
is likely to be an absence of noisy family parties and boozy celebrations. Some Sagittarian parents might find they are spending the festive season alone without their (grown up) children demanding time and attention. While there could be a downside to this, it does make other things possible. And as well as celebrating Christmas, you might also want to celebrate a new sense of freedom! One thing seems certain, and that is that as a result of this December, you progress into the New Year with a much greater degree of emotional confidence.
While it might be tempting to get your Christmas gifts from the big chains, spare a moment to consider the local independent stores. As well as helping to support the high street, you might just find the most unique and personal present – and you can be sure that no one else will have bought the same thing. From beauty to shoes, jewellery to cakes, here are some of our favourite local independents that you don’t want to miss. GREEN DONKEY APOTHECARY
FRESH NATURALS

LEO
FORGET ME NOT FLORISTS
down and open the brandy! Kiss your partner. Make love. Watch telly.
21ST JUNE - 22ND JULY On the whole, quite a bright and cheerful month, and if there are a few frustrations and tensions you’ll be inclined to sit on them rather than allow them to bubble over. Workwise, probably a very busy period right up to the 11th hour, but finances look good and the festive season will probably be a welcome oasis of calm. We hope.
22ND JULY - 21ST AUGUST The early part of December looks like quite an awkward and contentious period, and on more than one occasion you’ll end up as ‘piggy in the middle’ as you try to resolve some of the problems going on around you. Thank goodness for Christmas! This allows everyone to back off and calm down, and gives you some personal breathing space.
VIRGO
23RD AUGUST - 22ND SEPTEMBER Travel aspects will be relevant for some, while others will be looking into the long term future in search of new homes and different lifestyles. You will find the strength to walk away from old feuds and arguments as you begin to see new possibilities with much greater clarity. A restful rather than a rowdy Christmas, which gives you time to think.
LIBRA
23RD SEPTEMBER- 22ND OCTOBER December looks like a month full of changes and choices, compromises, and probably a couple of small sacrifices. If this is the price you’ve got to pay to keep your head above water, then pay it willingly and don’t rock leaky boats. Good money vibes towards the month’s end, so perhaps a ‘working’ Christmas for some?
SCORPIO
23RD OCT - 21ST NOV A lot of tension in the wind during the first couple of weeks as you come under pressure from more than one source. The energies shift around the 14th and 15th giving you a clearer run through Christmas up until month’s end. Christmas itself may bring a rather nice surprise if it turns out to be a lot better and brighter than you’re expecting it to be.

CELEBRATING OUR 50TH ANNIVERSARY
LET IT GROW, LET IT GROW, LET IT GROW One of the most exciting parts of Christmas is transforming the home into a festive wonderland. But forget the tinsel, the tree, and the wreaths for a minute – our friends at Dean’s Garden Centre are drawing your attention to Christmas houseplants.
POINSETTIA Poinsettia are cheerful plants that are widely grown indoors over the festive period. They’re known for their brightly coloured red, pink or cream bracts, although some varieties have cream and green variegated foliage. Poinsettias need bright light – but away from strong sun and draughts. They need a minimum temperature of 16°C (61°F). Water poinsettias sparingly, as overwatering can damage plants. As a rule of thumb, you should only water your plants when the surface of the compost has begun to dry out. The flowering life of plants is extended by humidity, so mist them regularly. When transporting poinsettias from the shop to your home in winter you must be careful, as the cold outdoor temperatures can damage the foliage. Always make sure the plant has wrapped paper right around the top of the foliage, or put it in a plastic bag so that it is completely protected as even a short exposure to cold temperatures can cause the bracts to fall.

CYCLAMEN Although it looks delicate, it’s actually quite tough. The showy, brightly colored flowers come in white, vivid red, pink, purple, and bicolor. Much of cyclamen’s charm comes from its intricately veined, heartshaped leaves that are often marbled with silver. Cyclamen will continue to bloom happily for two to three months after Christmas. As each flower fades, remove the entire flower stalk from where it attaches to the tuber by giving it a sharp tug. New flowers will emerge from one of the many buds waiting just below the foliage. Keep it evenly moist in a cool north window or where the sunlight is not too strong. Day temperatures of 16°C-20°C (60°F-68°F) and nights at 11°C-13°C (50°-55°F) are ideal. When watering, avoid getting water directly on the tubers, which could cause them to rot. A safer method would be to place each pot in a saucer of water for about five minutes.
AZALEA Originating in China and Nepal, the azalea is available in pink, red, white and bi-colored flowers. They’re ideal for cool rooms in the house, preferring temperatures between 10°-17°C, and do well on north or east facing windowsills. Azaleas should never be allowed to dry out as this will cause any unopened flower buds to fall prematurely. Water plentifully, keeping compost moist at all times. Mist spraying will increase humidity, but care should be taken to avoid spraying the open flowers where possible. The plant will benefit from being placed in a shady position outdoors between June and September, and then returned to the house before the first frosts.
HYACINTH BOWL ARRANGEMENTS These usually contain between three and five hyacinth bulbs, specially prepared to make them produce their sweetly scented, brightly coloured flowers over the Christmas period. They are best kept in a cool location to prolong their flowering period. Care should be taken not to overwater the bulbs, as quite often the pots that contain the arrangements don’t have any drainage holes. When they’ve finished flowering they can be planted out in the garden as normal hyacinth bulbs.
THE BIRD IS THE WORD THE TEAM at ‘magical interior wonderland’ Homebird House, opposite St Helen’s Square, have revealed their stunning Christmas window display. The home décor and gift shop, owned by illustrator Alex Anderson, is bringing the festive season to life through Alex’s very own handmade ‘The Snowman’ display, celebrating 40 years of the enchanting cartoon. And if that wasn’t Christmassy enough, the display also features real snow. From door knobs to picture frames, to fairy lights and clocks, this isn't your average hardware shop. For starters, would you ever associate somewhere you can buy a bulb from with somewhere to buy your granny a birthday card? At Homebird House you can do just that. They have a huge range of unique and quirky gifts such as scarves, jigsaws and emergency chocolate. Because if you don't have any of that in the house then you're not a real chocoholic. So, after you’ve marvelled at the wintery windows, make sure you step inside to warm up and marvel some more. In the run up to Christmas, the team are offering various discounts on coasters, placemats and tea towels – all designed by Alex himself – as well as plenty of other seasonal goodies. Why not check out their website at www.homebirdhouse. com and see for yourself?

New series of well-being classes starts in new year Annie Willerton
Health and Wellbeing with Terry Anne
Staying stress free during the holidays The festivities of Christmas can be a stressful time, impacting on our mind, body and spirit. Some tips for staying calm and healthy during the celebrations. HYPE Avoid getting caught up in the frenzy, feeling everything has to perfect. Notice the commercialisation of the season as a marketing technique and you are less likely to be taken in by some of the expectations that have become the norm. Be realistic and create your own idea of the ideal christmas that suits you and your family. You may be continuing traditions from your childhood that no longer suit you. Allow yourself permission to create new traditions for your family that fit with your lifestyle today. D E C LU T T E R Use the holiday period to declutter your wardrobes and donate unwanted items to charity. A tidy house is a tidy mind. DO A GOOD DEED Remember not everyone has someone in their lives and this time of year can be especially difficult. If baking, bake extra and pop and see a neighbour you know is on their own, spend some time with them if possible. S E T B O U N DA R I E S Learning to say no to others demands can be a struggle, so reflect on your needs when work or family activities are being planned. Christmas can often be seen as an occasion to overindulge emotionally and financially so setting boundaries now can give you space and time to decide what you do or do not wish to participate in.
D E L E G AT E A problem shared is a problem halved, so communicate with family now on who is doing what so you are sharing the burden. Discuss present budgets so everyone is in agreement. A secret santa within families can be a good idea. Talk about meal plans, timings and let everyone contribute to helping out on the day. FRESH AIR Ensure to have some exercise and fresh air. Eating more than usual can slow you down and make you feel sluggish. Wrap up warm and suggest a walk after your meal. If no one wants to join you, head off by yourself to get some ‘me’ time. Be kind to yourself and make time to do things you enjoy. Read a book, watch a film, spend some time alone if you choose to, without the pressure to be sociable. Many thanks for the emails responding to previous articles. The phobia feedback was interesting and I will look at this subject again in the future. Please feel free to message me about health and wellbeing.
ANNIE Willerton has been running well-being classes in Scarborough for many years and a new series of courses starts in the new year. But while we all understand these days what a yoga or pilates class is, Annie's classes, with titles such as Flexing the Soul, sound a little different. Scarborough Review asked her some questions to find out more. Q What is your background Annie and what has brought you to teach these classes? A I moved to Scarborough when I was 18 to train to be a teacher. I enrolled in a yoga class, did my first meditation course and began my exploration into the alternative healing arts. In 1990, I qualified in holistic massage. This has been the foundation of my work ever since. I have gone on to study many forms of the healing arts and do a training and retreat every year. It is a passion and I absolutely love sharing it with others. Q You have advertised three types of class. Have they anything in common? A I am interested in peace. Peace in our own hearts and lives, peace in our community and peace in the world. Holistic healing is the exploration of how we
can achieve this. There are many wonderful ways to achieve greater health and wellbeing. It can feel like work sometimes because changing patterns and beliefs that hold us back from health and happiness takes patience and it can be challenging. But it is also fun, exhilarating and deeply rewarding. Q So why do you run different types of classes? Isn't it all basically meditation? A We are all different and require different ways to achieve inner peace. At different stages in our lives too, some methods are more appropriate than others. For some it might be through dynamic dance, others through stillness, silence, or the voice. I like to give the opportunity to explore these different ways. The Wisdom Body classes are bodyfocussed meditations, done lying on the back, with very gentle movement. Flexing the Soul classes have more energetic movement with music and interpersonal exploration. The year-long class is a deeper experience of all these practices. Q Who are the classes for? A Anyone. They are totally non-competitive and welcome anyone regardless of gender or ability. What is necessary is the willingness to participate.

REVIEW: Lillypuds Gin-Laced Plum Pudding
ADVERTISER ANNOUNCEMENT
Lifestyle editor, Krystal Starkey put the pudding to the test at Scarborough Review HQ, just in time for Christmas, too. YOU would imagine that the general population is united in opinion when it comes to Christmas puddings. They should be rich, boozy, delicious, and covered in brandy cream or custard. Therefore I can say with confidence that this one is a Christmas pudding to be reckoned with. It ticks all of the necessary boxes, while adding in some curveballs, too. Damson gin makes for an excellent choice in the booze department, but Lillypuds doesn’t scrimp on stout or brandy either, while a surprise crunch from walnuts improves the traditional texture. The Scarborough Review office opted for cream on our pudding and we came to an unanimous vote: The pudding is as boozy as it is beautiful. We’d buy it any day.
The new Plum Pudding is available nationwide in delis and farm shops and through Yumbles. The pudding costs £12.75 for 454g (Serves 3-4 people), is suitable for vegetarians and contains no dairy ingredients. Visit www.lillypuds.co.uk
£175k refurb for Filey pub FILEY’S Station pub, aka Top House, has reopened after a £175,000 refurbishment. The pub is owned by Admiral Taverns and run by licensee Andy Quinn, who took over in May 2017 and has over 20 years’ experience in the pub industry. A soft relaunch party was held in the grade-II listed building for regulars to get a sneak preview of the refreshed interior and exterior. The dog-friendly pub has various snug areas, a dining
room, a conservatory, a beer garden and chalets for overnight stays. The Station has a good selection of beers, wines, cask ales and 20 gins. Commentating on the re-opening, licensee Andy Quinn said: “I’m thrilled with the refurbishment and I’m excited for the locals to see the results. This is a lovely local pub that really celebrates its community and I’m excited to see the pub continue to grow and bring in new customers as well as welcome back our Filey regulars. At the Station,

NORTH Yorkshire’s finest artisan gelato manufacturer Groovy Moo has taken the title of Best Dessert Parlour in England in the Food Awards 2018. The weird and wonderful ice cream parlour, which opened in Malton’s Talbot Yard Food Court on Yorkersgate in 2015, serves a variety of refreshing drinks, desserts and ice creams with a multitude of flavours on offer, including Christmas bestsellers salted caramel and mince pie. The parlour also offers dairy free and gluten free options to suit a range of customers. Owners Michelle and her son Ashley started their business from scratch, and have over 15 years’ experience in the food industry. Winning the award is a dream come true for Michelle, “we are proud to be able to bring delicious artisan gelato and this national award to Malton, Yorkshire’s Food Capital.” After a successful few years, Groovy Moo now has two ice cream parlours, one in Malton and one in Howden, East Yorkshire, with the aim of increasing
Wonderful country house hotel in new hands WHEN Rob and Sarah Stoff first viewed East Ayton Lodge, they fell in love with the property and decided to buy this wonderful country house hotel. It isn’t hard to see why. This beautiful property, dating back to the early 1800s, is set in three acres of garden, surrounded by majestic trees. In a conservation area, at the southern edge of the North York Moors national park, it is only a few miles from Scarborough.
Naomi takes over Angel as licensee A FAMILIAR face has taken over as licensee of a popular pub in the centre of Scarborough. Naomi Blades has worked behind the bar at the Angel in North Street for 18 years, on and off. Naomi, who has also worked in the retail sector, has been running the pub full-time since 17 September. She says no changes are planned as the place is just right; and few of the countless regulars would disagree. The pub is in the British Real Ale Guide, which awarded it the Cask Marque after inspecting the beer cellar and the ice and drinks machines for cleanliness, etc. The Angel offers a range of cask ales and draught lagers and ciders. The cask ales often change; at the time of writing, they were Wainwright, Doombar and Tetleys.

Now undergoing refurbishments, they have started to transform this wonderful hotel. Besides hosting weddings, christenings, parties, conferences and other functions, the Lodge also serves dinner from 6pm and amazing Sunday lunches from 12 noon. Needless to say, East Ayton Lodge is anticipating a busy Christmas and new year. For your opportunity to try the fabulous food the Lodge has to offer, the hotel is offering 20% off Sunday lunch with this advert.
The pub boasts four TVs screening Sky sport all day long, a log-burning stove and a couple of distinctive bay windows. Naomi, who is running a Christmas draw until 12 December, says the Angel will be open on Christmas Day from 11.30am until 2.30pm. On new year’s eve, talented young singer Danni May will perform at a party to see in the new year. The Angel has been a pub for a long time. The original pub, on the corner of North Street and Swan Hill Road, was half the size it is today. About 22 years ago, the brewery which owned it bought the property next door and doubled the floor area in one fell swoop. * The Angel is open from 11am-11pm Monday to Thursday; 11am-midnight Friday and Saturday; and noon to 11pm Sundays.

Boys honour memory Solemn seafront service marks armistice centenary of Polish soldiers Words and photos by Dave Barry
HUNDREDS if not thousands of people converged on Scarborough lifeboathouse for a Remembrance Sunday service marking the centenary of the end of WW1. They assembled on the beach, on the West Pier, in the boathouse and on the slipway. RNLI crew and other personnel lined one side of the launch slipway. Four standard bearers took part including crew member Lee Holmes, carrying the Scarborough RNLI standard. The service was jointly conducted by Rev Emma Morgan and lay reader Alan Courtney. Colin Woodhead, who chairs Scarborough RNLI, made a reading. Three musicians took part: bagpiper Charles Mitchell, organist Francis Appleby and
cornetist Kevin Moxon, who performed The Last Post and Reveille, marking the beginning and end of the two-minute silence. Afterwards, wreaths were laid on the sea by deputy mayor Dilys Cluer from a small SubAqua Club vessel, the Richard S. The lifeboathouse service concluded a remembrance service which began at Queen Street Methodist Church. It was organised by Tom Fox. The two parts of the service were connected by a parade from the church to the lifeboathouse by veterans, standard bearers, wreath-carriers, members of the lifeboat crew and coastguard team, army, air and sea cadets, the Boys Brigade and others. * At the same time, a similar service was conducted at the town’s war memorial on Oliver’s Mount.

Words and photos by Dave Barry THE memory of two Polish soldiers who died in road accidents while based in Scarborough during World War Two has been honoured. Their graves, in Woodlands cemetery, were visited by two Polish pupils from Gladstone Road Primary School. Milan Kapczynski and Bartosz Sobkowiak, both 10, placed poppies and a printed prayer at the graves. Tomasz Szewczyk was a rifleman who died aged 39 when two military vehicles collided on the road between Seamer and Staxton. Kazimiert Slucki was a sapper and motorcycle despatch rider when he died in a motor accident near Whitby. He was 22. The two soldiers died three days apart, in June 1944, during the preparations for D-day. Historian Fred Fox says: “Polish soldiers who managed to get to this country after Poland was invaded and France fell were stationed up in Scotland, where they spent their time training and guarding the coast against a German invasion. “One of the personal recollections that I’ve read talked about them leaving Scotland in May 1944 and staying around the Scarborough area before landing in France in July 1944”, Mr Fox says. “The foreign-affairs minister of the Polish government in exile brought his family on holiday to Scarborough in July 1944 and saw soldiers of the Polish armoured division in nearby towns and villages. The division was
preparing to go to France”. At the cemetery, Mr Fox explained the circumstances of the soldiers’ deaths to the two boys, their parents and Gladstone Road School staff. Head teacher Keith Wright says the boys were there “as part of our commemoration of the 100th anniversary of the armistice”. The gravestones, with the Polish eagle carved into them, were erected by the Commonwealth War Graves Commission (CWGC). Mr Fox says several Polish servicemen are buried in the area. A Polish soldier is buried in the small cemetery at Cayton. He had been swimming in the sea near Filey when he got into trouble. The lifeboat was launched but couldn’t find him. His body was recovered at Yon’s Nab near Lebberston. A woman who visits Cayton cemetery to lay flowers on her father’s grave takes one from the bunch to lay on the Pole’s grave, as he may never have anyone visit it. Other Polish servicemen are buried in Filey, Pickering, Bridlington and Driffield. Mr Fox says 2,813 soldiers, 1,461 airmen and 71 sailors from Poland were killed while fighting with the Allies during WW2 and had their graves registered with the CWGC. Polish airmen took part in one of the most important battles of the war, the Battle of Britain. The contribution the Polish made to the war effort was immeasurable, Mr Fox adds.

Lantern parade precedes remembrance service at the Spa Words and photos by Dave Barry SCARBOROUGH’S part in the WW1 armistice centenary began with a parade featuring about 100 illuminated poppy lanterns. It started outside the Grand Hotel, crossed the Spa footbridge and finished at the Spa in time for an evening of remembrance. The lanterns represented military and civilian casualties of WW1 from the Scarborough area. The parade included standard bearers, veterans, cadets and people who were involved in decorating the lanterns. The service at the Spa paid tribute to all those
who served in WWI and those who lost their lives in combat or as a civilian. It included performances by the York and Dishforth Military Wives Choirs, the Tony Peers Singers and Scarborough Concert Band. The audience represented the armed forces, veterans and the borough’s youth and voluntary groups and organisations. The parade was devised by the British Legion, Scarborough Council and Dawn and Lee Threadgold of Animated Objects. The theatre company was commissioned and funded by the authority to deliver a project entitled Stories of Remembrance.

School pays tribute to the fallen
Words and photo by Dave Barry
A STRIKING remembrance display was mounted at Northstead School in Scarborough. The path leading from the main gate to the front door was lined with big red poppies made with fabric and the bottom of plastic bottles; and with stones painted with poppies. At each end of the path were wooden cutouts representing World War One soldiers, made by a teacher’s husband, Dave Wardill. Every one of the school’s 630 pupils took part in the week-long project, which was head teacher Jim Lidgley’s idea. It was based on the best-known verse from Laurence Binyon’s poignant and frequently misquoted poem, For the Fallen, which was first published in the Times in September
1914: They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old. Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn. At the going down of the sun and in the morning, We will remember them. Mr Lidgley said the school hopes to develop the display further on Armistice Day each year. He is pictured with some of the pupils who took part in the project and their class teacher, Sarah Pateman. The children are Theo Pearson, 11, and 10-year-olds Neve Bolton, Sam Ball, Kieren Holmes, Evie Taylor, Poppy Davies, Ethan Nelson, Edward Hughes and Thomas Atkinson.

A THREE-MILE run marking the armistice centenary raised £350 for the British Legion. Scarborough care provider St Cecilia’s teamed up with Scarborough Athletic Club's Walk to Run group to host the run. Runners set off from St Cecilia's day-care centre in Eastfield and followed a route along Westway and Musham Bank to Crossgates and back via Cayton Low Road. The run was followed by chilli, rice and cake, provided by staff at St Cecilia’s.
Entrants paid £5. Managing director Mike Padgham said: “We had an excellent turnout of more than 50 and everyone who said they were coming came – despite the rain! “It was great fun, for a great cause and I thank all the runners, the Athletic Club, in particular Gill Glegg and Jayne Graves, for supporting the run and the staff at St Cecilia’s for all their hard work”.

‘Damned good turnout’ for Filey commemorations Words and photos by Dave Barry FILEY’S remembrance commemorations were attended by hundreds if not thousands of people. The town’s main service, at St Oswald’s Church, was officiated by the vicar of Filey, Rev Nigel Chapman. It was followed by a parade. Led by standard bearers, the procession marched solemnly to the remembrance gardens in Murray Street for the culmination of the ceremony. A 14ft poppy-fall made by Pauline Richardson, retiring secretary of the town branch of the British Legion, and her friend Jad Pietarski was displayed at St Oswald’s Church, in the memorial gardens and at a concert at the
Methodist church. At 5.30pm, a torchlight parade left Filey bus station and headed to the gardens for another remembrance event. Battery-powered light batons were handed out free to the first 200 people, in return for a donation to the Legion. Filey’s poppy organiser, Pauline’s husband Stan, said there had been “a damned good turnout, more than we expected”, for all the remembrance events. “We did something similar in 2014, on the centenary of the war starting, and we had a big crowd then, but there were even more this time”, Stan said. The events featured Filey sea cadets, led by Ken Lomas, who said 33 had taken part in the
Sunday services and 15 at a silent vigil in the memorial garden on the Saturday. Stan added: “They do the town proud every year”. The names of the 74 servicemen and women from Filey who have died in conflicts were read out by able cadet Adam Barber and ordinary cadet Charlotte Wardell. A candle was lit for each one. The evening service was led by Rev Robert Hall. The retired vicar, born and bred in Filey,
is president of the Filey branch of the Legion and a member of Filey Fishermen’s Choir. Paul Wellard of Malton’s White Star Band visits Filey every year to perform the Last Post and Reveille on his cornet. Town crier David Bull made the cry for peace at the same time as other town criers around the country - 7.05pm.

Knitters knit a poppy display AN impressive poppy display was created by the More Than Books knitting circle and members of Westway Open Arms in Eastfield. The display was taken to the Holy Nativity Church for its remembrance service and then returned to the library, where More Than Books is based. The knitting circle meets every Thursday from 10.30am until 12.30pm, says outreach librarian Sharon Houghton. Other regular sessions at the library include an online course in computer basics from 11am-noon Mondays; a term-time homework club from 4.30-5.45pm Mondays; stories and rhymes for under-fives from 10.30-11.15am Tuesdays; a board-games club from 10amnoon Wednesdays; a Lego club from 3.304.30pm Wednesdays; term-time Toddlers’ Tales from 10.30-11.15 Thursdays; and a book lovers’ reading group at 2pm on the first Monday of the month.

School project on India’s part in WW1 Words and photos by Dave Barry A WEEK-LONG remembrance project at Lindhead School in Burniston finished with a strong Indian flavour. The Halifax-based Annapurna dance company paid a visit and pupils dressed up to take part in a traditional dance based on India’s part in World War One. The occasion was filmed by Look North. New head teacher Simon England, who started in September, said the project focused on the centenary commemorations, with indoor and outdoor poppy displays by the whole school. “It culminated with Annapurna’s visit”, Mr England said. “We are trying to teach the children about the different nations and nationalities. “We want to get across that multicultural element. In our part of the world, here on the coast, it’s something we have to continually do, to teach them to look outwards”. Annapurna offers imaginative Indian dance programmes with a vision to achieve harmony and understanding between people of different cultures through Indian dance. The company aims to introduce the rich artistic and cultural heritage of India through performances of graceful and rhythmic Indian dance and storytelling. It is committed to working in the community with people of all ages and abilities. A spokesperson said: “We specialise in bringing alive the well-loved stories from the ancient epics and mythology of India, using vibrant traditional dances with storytelling, music, drumming, puppets, masks and
beautiful costumes. Our workshops explore the rhythms of dance, with its many fascinating hand gestures and stylised facial expressions for communicating ideas and feelings”. Annapurna’s Soldiers of the Empire project is about the contribution made by soldiers from undivided India who supported the British empire during World War One. On school visits, dancers talk about these forgotten soldiers, touching upon the historic, positive relationship between Britain and the Indian subcontinent.

Words and photo by Dave Barry AN armistice centenary wood has been planted on land on the northern outskirts of Scarborough. About 3,000 oak, birch, cherry and willow saplings will take many years to mature into the wood envisaged by Cllr Mark Vesey, who championed the idea. He said: “It is of great importance that we mark the centenary by leaving a permanent legacy that will be visible in another hundred years and more. “The wood will eventually be a great place for birdlife and a tranquil setting to reflect on the sacrifices all those men and women made in World War One”. The saplings were donated by the Woodlands
Trust and Raincliffe Woods Community Enterprise. They were planted by conservation volunteers, Green Party members and a team from Scarborough Council’s parks and countryside department. Borough mayor Cllr Joe Plant joined them to plant the first 300 saplings on Remembrance Sunday, when a minute’s silence was observed. The wood is one of a series of initiatives forming part of the Yorkshire Coast Remembers project to mark the WW1 anniversary. It has been created on land near the youth hostel, between Burniston Road and the sea.

Remembrance tree planted at town hall A TREE of remembrance to mark the WW1 armistice centenary has been planted in the gardens of Scarborough town hall. People were invited to add messages of remembrance and dedications to loved ones who served their country. The Customer First centre next door to the
town hall provided poppy cards to write messages on, along with plastic sleeves to keep completed cards dry, and ribbon to tie them to the tree. While the emphasis was on remembering WW1, the tree of remembrance bore messages relating to anyone who had served in any
conflict or who was a civilian victim of war at home or overseas. The tree was provided by the Yorkshire Coast Remembers steering group, which worked on several initiatives to commemorate the centenary of the WW1 armistice. The group was led by Cllr Tom Fox, who said:
“It was a lovely opportunity for people to capture their thoughts and memories of loved ones caught up in conflict in a visual way and help us to create a poignant tribute”.

Your Letters Blue and yellow bikes should be removed DEAR EDITOR, Two letters in the September edition of Scarborough Review stood out to me. Having been in a similar line of work to him, I agree wholeheartedly with what Colin Mace says about you producing a ‘first-class paper’ and I will be a regular reader from now on. However, what really struck a chord was the letter from Keith Chapman, headed ‘Yobs on bikes were out in force’. Again, I fully agree with everything he says about “selfish cyclists who seem to think they have every right to be on the pavement, which is an offence”. Keith says: “But alas with all councils clambering to promote cycling, it seems cyclists can do no wrong”. He says he is a cyclist at least five days a week so he can’t be biased against cyclists, which I think is fair comment. Colin’s comment about ‘councils clambering to promote cycling’ brings me to my main point. As a Yorkshire man through and through, I’m delighted, for the good of the county, that Yorkshire is firmly on the cycling map. But at the end of the day, they are simply cycling races which pass through villages and towns in about 5-10 minutes, as I understand it. And then that’s it, ‘til next year. Sadly and frustratingly, we have to then endure months and months of evidence of the races in the form of old blue and yellow bikes of all sizes chained to lamp posts, stuck outside dwellings, on roofs, you name it. Bunting is visible as well as other signs of the races - and it’s irritating and depressing. Unfortunately, this confirms that the vast majority of folk are enthusiastic about joining in and promoting the race route but then can’t be bothered to remove the clutter, store it and put it out the following year. Or they have some misguided idea that it looks good. It’s like folks failing to remove notices and posters on roadsides advertising some longpassed event. Can you imagine if everybody left Christmas lights etc on houses and in trees etc all year round? It’s a similar situation after all. Anonymous, Scarborough

As the title suggests, the relay involves a driving school car, driven by a learner, driving a particular leg of the relay. To replace the relay baton, the organiser Lou Walsh, together with a Pudsey-adorned L top box, is handed from one driving school to the next. The relay finishes at Silverstone. As part of the fundraising effort, the cars will be covered with colourful spots which people can sign upon donating to the Children in Need cause.

Subsidence on the Esplanade?
Tony Hampshire’s photo of the pavement near his flat DEAR EDITOR, On 14 November, I observed three workmen covering a seeming collapse of the footpath immediately below my flat. They began covering the collapse with black polythene upon which they then constructed a wooden frame, then attaching it to the plastic cover. The frame was raised and placed against the transparent fence where it prevented anyone passing by from observing the collapse. During this process I took a number of photographs. Since then, the partial collapse on the Esplanade has been remedied by pouring cement into the void. The quantities of cement stacked alongside this remedial action indicate the volume of void requiring restoration. The Esplanade between Albion Road and Prince of Wales Terrace has been closed for the past week, without any signs posted indicating the duration of the closure. Meanwhile, pedestrian access is available via the original pathway and simultaneously channeled by red and white plastic interconnecting blocks along part of the Esplanade. Clearly this closure is to facilitate access by trucks delivering cement and other equipment for use by Balfour Beatty, including fuel for the motorised plant constantly in use.

disappointed that the British charity worker Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe has been sent back to jail in Iran after her recent temporary release. Along with her husband Richard and numerous supporters, we’d hoped her long-awaited permanent and unconditional release was just around the corner. This mother of a young child has already been through a terrible ordeal. In total, she’s spent nearly two and a half years behind bars, including eight gruelling months of solitary confinement without a lawyer. She was subjected to a string of unfounded accusations from the Iranian authorities and given a deeply unfair trial. On top of all this, news that Nazanin has suffered panic attacks after returning to jail and now needs specialised medical care is extremely worrying. As with countless people in Iran, Nazanin is a prisoner of conscience who should never have been jailed in the first place. The Iranian authorities have treated her with exceptional cruelty. Readers can add their name to our 160,000-strong petition calling for her release. Go to www.amnesty.org.uk/nazanin. Let’s do all we can to get Nazanin home.

Getting to York hospital is a nightmare DEAR EDITOR, Just a note to thank you for a great paper! Quality written topics, colourful sharp photos and advertisements. Support for all local groups of any description. Your piece on the happenings at our local hospital was more informative than I have seen to date in other media. Bringing local issues of our hospital to the forefront by the written word is in my view more powerful if we, the readers, can help enforce the cause in any way. Whilst the focus is on keeping our A&E department functioning, we must also keep in mind the forward care for those who are admitted onto the wards and then transferred to York hospital. Anyone who has visited York hospital will know of the tremendous heavy traffic for an over 80-mile return journey to the city. The road to the hospital is single lane with a train crossing on it. It’s a nightmare to get there and coming away in the dark onto the ring road at teatime is not for the fainthearted. The hospital parking charges are £2.20 per hour. It takes at least 10 minutes to park your car in a multi-storey carpark, walk to the hospital and then find your way through the shopping and coffee centre to the relevant ward or department. Thank you for being the local paper that we were all used to when the Scarborough Evening News was a daily and sold on street corners. Joyce I’Anson Box Hill, Scarborough

On that day, a group of Irton residents including the eldest and youngest of our village planted five donated beech trees to improve our environment and benefit all. Scarborough Borough Council have offered trees to local parishes to commemorate the ending of WW1 and I’m pleased that Irton council took up the offer. David R Parker, Porritt Lane, Irton

The deer hunters Local artist Dav White talks about the fascinating world of history, art and mythology
WHEN I was a teenager and my uncle Peter was teaching me to play guitar, he made me learn Cavatina. The Dorset Ooser C a v a t i n a was the theme music for the 70s film The Deer Hunter starring Robert de Niro and Christopher Walken. Cavatina means to bring out a simple sound with a simple character. It is from the Latin root word cavare, meaning to hollow out, to excavate. It’s been 70 years since archaeologists John Moore and Graham Clark started excavating the peat bog around the Hertford cut, south of Star Carr Farm. The subterranean site that we call Star Carr has produced an invaluable insight into the lives of our ancestors who lived in this area just after the last ice age. After the northern glaciers melted, around 9600 BC, small groups of people from Europe followed the animal herds spreading north, who were in turn following the new growth of tree and plant life. Britain was still connected to Europe until the ancient Brexit of 6200 BC when rising sea levels and a mega-tsunami cut Britain off from the rest of Europe. Of all the animals that the newcomers hunted, they seemed to have a special reverence for the deer. The archaeological investigations excavated 33 head-dresses made from antlers, deposited in the same part of what archaeologists named Lake Flixton, a now-drained area of water resulting in the peat bogs around the Carrs. That number of head-dresses deposited within one area is unheard of across the globe. August’s edition of British Archaeology stated Star Carr was “a place of outstanding shamanistic and cosmological significance”. In 9600 BC, our local landscape was a woody
and marshy environment due to the aftereffects of glacial melt-water. The landscape was void of human development, a wild terrain in which these head-dresses were worn. The prominent natural features in the landscape that attracted our ancestors later in the Bronze Age could well have attracted the Star Carr community, perhaps for hunting or for ritual. The head-dresses could have been used not only on the peat bog or by the lake of the low carrs but in the surrounding areas at Forge Valley, Blakey Topping, Howden Hill, Castle Hill and Peasholm Gap. Natural prominences and amphitheatres may have been thought to enhance the show of the ritual. Each of the 33 head-dresses was worked upon by hand. Some were worked with tools to produce holes, the function of which could only be described as for making them ready to wear. The holes were made for straps, to hold the antlers in place with padding and decoration. They didn’t survive the preservation process of the peat in which the head-dresses were found. Some head-dresses had the antlers intentionally removed, as if they’d been decommissioned. On certain head-dresses the holes were not unlike eye holes, suggesting the head-dresses could have been used as masks. Wearing masks and head-dresses for ritual performance was common all over the world, both in prehistory and in pre-industrial tribal societies. Graham Clark thought the objects he excavated at Star Carr were head-dresses like the Siberian tribal costumes of the Evenki tribe, as illustrated by 17th century explorer Nicolaes Witsen. Horned head-dresses were commonly worn by people of La Tène, an Iron Age culture who lived in this part of Yorkshire. The Gundestrup cauldron depicts a figure wearing an antler head-dress. The chalk
Your Letters Moving post office to WH Smith is a bad idea DEAR EDITOR, Re the proposed franchising of 74 Crown post offices to WH Smith, one of which is in Scarborough. Following years of incremental privatisation, if this latest initiative goes ahead, 60% of the Crown network which existed in 2013 will have disappeared. Research shows that franchising Crown post offices to WH Smith results in reduced services, longer queuing time, sub-standard service, inferior advice given on products and poor disabled access. In addition, lives and local economies are impacted by quality jobs being replaced with low-paid insecure work, with high streets often decimated by the closure of Crown offices in prime sites that once served the community. There is no public consultation on whether the privatisation should go ahead, only on what the resulting franchise service might look like. Invariably the public has been vehemently opposed to these franchises, yet the privatisation is being bankrolled using public money.

carving of the Long Man of Wilmington originally sported horned headgear, as did the mask of the Dorset Ooser. Antlers are used in the Abbots Bromley horn dance, an ancient English folk ritual. The famous French cave painting called The Sorcerer depicts a half-deer, half-man figure wearing antlers, dated 13,000 BC. In medieval times, Moses was depicted with horns as it was widely believed that directly conversing with God would physically alter one’s appearance. Michelangelo’s sculpture of Moses in the church of San Pietro in Vincoli in Rome depicts Moses with horns. Life is precarious and the balance of nature and the insecure position of living within that The Gundestrup cauldron balance must have been a going concern for the community at Star Carr. The bond to the environment creates a special relationship between people and animals, as the welfare of one depends on the welfare of the other. A shaman communicated between the species, acting as a go-between. Religion, from the Latin religio, means to link back, to reconnect. A link to the ancestors often includes animals in cultures around the world. Anthropologist James Fraser, recording the customs of the Yakuts tribe of Siberia in 1890, documented the trust and reverence between humans and animals expressed through a ritual that enabled the removal of pieces of the soul to give to an animal to keep safe. This is the traditional time of year for mumming and guising plays. Mumming means mask. The roles and dance steps of the old English mumming plays are believed to be Moses sculpture with horns rooted in the oldest of British ceremonies and a way of linking people with the winter spirits and with the past. Rural-customs historian Nigel Pennick says: “By putting on a disguise, the individual loses his or her identity. He or she becomes timeless, stepping out of secular time and space where normal rules are suspended”. Father Christmas is still the most popular of these disguises. When the sun is at its lowest, he takes to the sky with his reindeer and steps out of time, visiting each house in one night, distributing presents, bringing peace, joy, good food, wine and revelry.

In 2014/15, £13m was paid in compensation agreements alone to get rid of experienced Crown post office staff. The Communications Workers Union, which represents many of the workers, was not engaged by the post office at all prior to the announcement. Around 800 staff will be affected by this latest round of franchising and will cost the taxpayer at least £30m in compensation payments. Crown post offices are an integral part of the high street in our towns and cities, and any future potential loss will impact on the footfall of surrounding shops and other establishments within these areas. I would like to know why the decision as to whether these assets should be privatised has been denied to us, the public, the rightful owners of these post offices. You can show your support on social media using, #SaveOurPostOffice to promote the petition that is based at www. saveourpostoffice.co.uk. We are holding an event on Saturday 1 December, from 11am to 1pm during a national day of action across the UK as part of our campaign to fight Crown office closures
and build a stronger future for the post office. It will be held for the region at York Crown Office, Lendal, York. Keith Blackburn Communications Workers Union London
Speak up about post office move DEAR EDITOR, I would like to alert your readers to the proposed closure of Aberdeen Walk post office. It is proposed to move it to WH Smith in Westborough. The consultation period ends on 28 December and I would urge all your readers to make their views known. Details of how to respond are available at the post office. The staff provide an excellent personal service which encompasses real care and concern for the needs of the community, particularly the older (among which I count myself) and vulnerable people. Longer hours of opening do not equate automatically to a better service. The experience and knowledge of the present
staff will be lost as I doubt very much that there will be a wholesale transfer of all staff to the new premises. My experience in other areas of post offices situated in retail units shows poorer, more impersonal and less efficient service. Please make your views known in the consultation process.

Curious Roots
BY SHELIA JOHNSON
BY HEATHER ELVIDGE
IN DECEMBER a tree — whether pine, fir, or imitation — stands in rooms all over the land. Its arrival is an exciting event, its decoration conjuring thoughts of Christmases past. Every year new memories are added along with the baubles and lights. So what’s on top of your tree — an angel, fairy or teddy bear? Maybe it’s something quite different. After all, there’s so much choice. Dressing the Christmas home used to be simple. As the old carol says, “Deck the halls with boughs of holly.” Today we must have a theme. Are we Scandi, Luxe, Novelty, or Traditional? Many of us settle for Vintage, aka what’s in that box in the attic. Legend says that Martin Luther put up the first Christmas tree. While walking home through a snowy wood, he saw stars blazing among the branches like heavenly fires. Inspired by the divine vision, he took home a small fir tree and lit it up with small candles. From the Rhineland in the 1520s, this romantic but unlikely story spread the candle-lit fir tree throughout Europe. The German Christmas tree reached Britain in the 1780s. Decorations were simple then: fruit, sweets, biscuits, nuts, and cloth bows. Famously, in 1841 Queen Victoria and Prince Albert set up a tree at Windsor Castle, and the subsequent publicity made the fir tree a must for the Victorian middle class. But a real tree was beyond the means of working class families, who kept the much older custom of hanging up holly and ivy well into the 20th century. Queen Victoria’s tree displayed another innovation: presents placed underneath. In fact, the whole idea of Christmas presents was new — previously, New Year was the time for giving gifts. The notion of hanging up a stocking also came from Europe, where St Nicholas pops in the children’s presents on December 6. The custom was reported in northern England in the 1860s, yet stockings didn’t catch on elsewhere for another 20 years. Gifts of a different kind were given on the feast of St Stephen, originally the day when churches opened their alms boxes for the needy. Kind employers in the 17th century would save coins in a box as a bonus for their apprentices or servants. A century later tradesmen and others, like watchmen and bellringers, got in on the act. While boxes were no longer involved, the cash gifts were still known as Christmas boxes. By late Victorian times the custom was so widespread that St Stephen’s was renamed Boxing Day. December 21 is the shortest day, when the midday sun reaches its lowest point then, for a few days, rises and sets in the same places on the horizon. Our ancestors feared
this standstill of the sun. Fire, feasting, and evergreens kept dark forces away until the sun returned. Trees and shrubs that kept their leaves were symbols of eternity and the hope of new life. Most important of the evergreens were the three that bore fruit at the winter solstice: mistletoe with its white berries, holly with the red, and the black-berried ivy. Mistletoe was especially potent, growing as it does between heaven and earth. Although poisonous, the Druids thought it a remedy against serious illness. The Roman author Pliny tells how mistletoe growing on an oak tree — an unusual host — was particularly sacred. It was collected with great ceremony, cut by a Druid priest using a golden sickle. The association with pagan religion kept mistletoe out of churches for centuries. An exception was York Minster, where on the 21st, St Thomas’ Day, a large bunch of mistletoe was — and still is — carried in procession to the altar. This tradition is explained by the city’s history of Danish settlement; to them mistletoe was a symbol of friendship and peace. Yorkshire dialect still uses the Danes’ word for Christmas — Yule. Today we don’t use much mistletoe. Holly is much more popular. This was always a beneficial tree, planted near homes to protect against fire; its timber was incorporated into thresholds that malign forces could not cross. In the same way, a holly wreath hung on the door ensured that only good could enter. But holly leaves, however lucky, were only allowed indoors at Christmas and not at any other time. Folklore says that if the solstice is frosty, the winter will be long; and whichever way the wind is blowing, that will be the prevailing direction. So bring in some evergreens, a charm against winter’s chill. Light the Yule candle or switch on the tree lights as a reminder of the returning sun, or the birth of the child of wonder who brings light into our darkness. December stars glitter with particular brightness, as the wheel of the year brings around the winter constellations. Orion dominates the southeast sky; the Bull’s red eye gleams in the west; and in the north, the Plough seems close enough to touch. And the night of December 13-14 brings the Geminid meteor shower. Shooting stars are possible from sunset on the 13th, though to enjoy the peak we’ll have to be out after midnight. The star shining in darkness is an ancient symbol of hope. To top our tree, what could be more appropriate than a star?
May your Christmas be a happy and peaceful one.
IT MIGHT be December but the Head Gardener in the Muck and Magic Garden is pushing on with winter work. He says its to get ahead while the weather is fairly kind, or soft as he describes it! I think it’s just a trick to keep the gardener on her toes and busy with jobs. No slacking here then! The last of the spring bulbs are being potted up and put into cold frames for winter. A good spell of reasonably cold weather will do them good and will help to form the bulbs for a spectacular display next year. Because of the beautiful but warm autumn we have just had there is plenty of work to do in the green house and conservatory. Start to reduce watering now on all house plants and remember to inspect your plants regularly over the next few months. Picking over and picking up dead leaves may be a very mundane job but it is essential if you are going to avoid storing up problems next season. Don’t forget to open greenhouse doors and windows on warm winter days to get some air circulating. This will help prevent a build up of pests and diseases such as whitefly and green fly. If you do encounter an outbreak of pests on your plants you can either use a bug killer from the local garden centre or try one of the soft soap formulations which don’t contain insecticides. It’s a bit like giving your plants a good wash in soapy water! Of course, it’s poinsettia season now and in the Muck and Magic postbag we always get questions about how to look after these colourful but temperamental plants. The key to success is to keep them reasonably cool, away from central heating radiators and in plenty of light. Water when they are dry by standing the plant in a bowl of water and allow it take up as much as it wants before draining off any excess. Orchids, too, will be a favourite Christmas
gift and the same rules apply. However, when the poinsettia is only a long forgotten memory your orchid can keep going for many years. Plan ahead and remember to stand your plant outside in the summer when all frosts have passed. Now is the perfect opportunity to book the mower in for service so it is ready for action in spring when the grass starts growing again and whilst there is an empty space in the shed why not use the cold weather to have a good clean up and sort out. If our sheds are anything to go by you’ll find all sorts of muck and magic lurking in there! The next meeting of Garden Club will be on Monday 10th December when Roger Burnett will be talking about Tulips from Amsterdam. The meeting takes place at Ebenezer Church Hall on Columbus Ravine in Scarborough and begins at 7pm. All welcome and further details from Sheila on muckandmagic@ hotmail.com or on 07961 966617
Happy Muck and Magic Gardening
Scarborough Strata BY ROGER OSBORNE
CORAL reefs have occasionally hit the news over the last decade. These extraordinary living structures are good indicators of the state of our oceans and our climate. We know that large parts of the Great Barrier Reef off Autralia are dead or dying and that coral reefs are threatened across the world. To us in Britain these seem like exotic objects but you might be surprised to know that there are reefs within two miles of Scarborough town centre. In the late Jurassic period this area was under a shallow subtropical sea. Sea levels varied leaving behind a series of marine limestones and coastal sandstones. These rocks form the Tabular Hills that stretch from Oliver’s Mount as far as Helmsley. The hills reflect their underlying geology, with limestones supporting lush pastures and arable fields, and sandstone lying beneath planted forests – at Broxa, Wykeham, Dalby and Cropton. The rock formation that makes up these lovely hills is known as the Corallian, because the limestones contain coral reefs. Reefs are built by individual corals working together. Just as shellfish make their shells from the calcium carbonate in seawater, so
corals build compound reefs – effectively a myriad of shells joined together, with cavities in which the individual corals live. The reefs then become major ecosystems inhabited by plants and marine animals of a dazzling variety. Over time reefs get buried by sediment and are often preserved intact within deposits of limestone. That is what has happened to the Jurassic reefs of this part of Yorkshire. Fossilised reef material is spectacularly exposed in quarries on the Tabular Hills; it seems that road-builders found it particularly hard and therefore good for surfacing. We may not be in a tropical area anymore but we still have our reefs.

Scarborough Review • www.thescarboroughreview.co.uk
December 2018 - Issue 64
Alice through the SJT’slooking-glass A NEW adaptation of Alice in Wonderland in a local setting and with a big sprinkle of Christmas will burst onto the stage at Scarborough’s Stephen Joseph Theatre in December. Adapted from Lewis Carroll’s classic novels Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland and Alice Through the Looking-Glass, Nick Lane’s production is directed by the SJT’s artistic director. Paul Robinson has assembled the same team that has delighted audiences over the last two years with Pinocchio and A (Scarborough) Christmas Carol. Alongside Nick Lane, lyricist and composer Simon Slater and designer Helen Coyston, there’s choreography by Erin Carter and lighting design by Paul Stear. New to the team this year is sound designer Andy Graham. Ebony Jonelle plays Alice, with Josie Dunn,
Robert Jackson, Loren O’Dair and Elliott Rennie playing a multitude of roles including the White Rabbit, the Mad Hatter, the Cheshire Cat, Tweedledum and Tweedledee and the Queen of Hearts. Elliott makes a return to Scarborough having appeared in the previous two Christmas shows and in spring’s Thumbelina. Paul says: “As usual, Nick has taken a classic story and made it very much his own, our own in fact, and without losing the elements that have made it such a longstanding favourite, has created a very Scarborough story for our loyal local audience. We can’t wait to introduce them to our hilarious versions of these wonderful, classic, characters”. Nick adds: “We’ve borrowed from both books, added a little sprinkle of Scarborough, a bit of Christmas, chucked some more nuttiness in there and, hopefully, once we’ve stirred it up,
Loren O’Dair it’s going to be utterly joyous! There’s loads for the kids to do, loads of characters that are familiar, and it’s got the same kind of twists that we had in A (Scarborough) Christmas Carol”. Alice in Wonderland is sponsored by Eat Me Café and Social.

A SCARBOROUGH funeral director is hosting a carols-by-candlelight service for families and friends to remember loved ones who have passed away. Ann Kitto, manager of B. Bernard & Sons on Prospect Road, says: “With Christmas approaching, we reflect on the year gone by and appreciate the value of families and communities living and working together. “With this in mind, we are planning to celebrate Christmas with a special carol service at Albemarle Baptist Church at 7pm on Wednesday 5 December”. It will be open to all, Ann added. "We will be inviting all the families we have been privileged to look after this year, as there is no better time than Christmas to share warmth, memories and the festive spirit with family, friends and the local community”. The chamber choir from St Augustine's School, led by Oliver Barron, will take part in the service. There will be an opportunity for people to write a message on a Christmas star to remember absent loved ones and place it on a Christmas tree. Afterwards, mince pies and mulled wine will be served in the church rooms. Ann says: “Please come along and start

Rockin’ Carols is back at the YM Words and photo by Dave Barry
THE 13th annual Rockin’ Carols show at Scarborough’s YMCA Theatre can be seen at 7.30pm on 4 and 5 December. Promoter Hilary Watts describes it as “a unique interpretation of the traditional Christmas story over the course of an hour or so in a blend of song and dance and a dash of theatre for good measure”. As usual, the show will feature choirs and soloists, classical ballet and modern dance, traditional carols played by a rock band and an opportunity to think about the reason for the season. The guests will be Friarage School Choir on the first night and Seamer Community Choir on the
second. “We have dance from Yorkshire Coast School of Ballet and music from a host of young performers who are with us for the first time Circa 15, Eleanor and Libby Wood and Michael Bull”, says Hilary. Mike Leigh completes the musical line-up. Tim Tubbs and Chris Curtis will provide dramatic food for thought and the YMCA’s house band will lead the singing. The show is suitable for all ages from about 5 upwards. n Tickets cost £6 and can be bought at the box office, by ringing 506750 and online at tiny.cc/ymcatheatre.

POEM CORNER ETERNAL SLEEP (WITH PAUL TAIT)
BY BEN ROBINSON
Ben Robinson is a writer from Scarborough who has had success with his debut poetry collection Serpents, released in 2018. He has also had success in scriptwriting and written a play called Three People. For enquiries please contact ben366007@gmail.com. I need you to talk to me, Save yourself from eternal sleep, I know the secrets you keep, I’ll keep the promise we made, So you can wipe a clean slate, Tell me the truth, Because I want to protect you, I get that all I can do is respect you, I need you more than you think,
Trust me to pull you back from the brink, To save you from your eternal sleep, I can’t fight fate, it doesn’t exist, But you can be at peace, In my arms under a charm, In our heads, a loud alarm, That we can’t help but cause alarm. I need you here with me, Please don’t fall into an eternal sleep.

The Salts do for shanties what the Pogues did for folk THE SALTS will play revved-up sea-related folk songs and shanties to celebrate Filey’s long seafaring and fishing heritage, at the Evron Centre on 1 December. The folk-rock fivepiece might fit a Bellowheadshaped hole, doing for shanties what the Pogues did for folk. A co-operative of seasoned musicians, the band mix well-written original compositions
with traditional tunes. Their best-known member, on banjo and guitar, is Lee Collinson, twice finalist in the BBC folk musician of the year awards. The gig will draw Filey’s mini-Christmas festival to a close. n Tickets cost £10 from Filey Travel and the Red Box.
A CAREFULLY researched documentary about the most powerful woman in the British empire in the early 20th century is Scarborough Film Society’s next offering. Letters from Baghdad brings to life through her letters Gertrude Bell, known as the female Laurence of Arabia. Bell shaped the destiny of Iraq after WW1 in ways that still reverberate today. Directed by Sabine Krayenbuhl, the film is narrated by Tilda Swinton (3 Dec, PG, 95 mins, 2016). The society’s next film is The Man who Invented Christmas. Directed by Bharat Nalluri, it’s an entertaining drama about the journey that led to Charles
Dickens’ creation of A Christmas Carol, a timeless tale that would redefine the festive period (17 Dec, PG, 104 mins, 2017). The season continues with Even When I Fall (7 Jan), In Between (21 Jan), 120 BPM (4 Feb), The Nile Hilton Incident (18 Feb), Redoubtable (4 Mar), Shoplifters (18 Mar), The Mercy (1 Apr) and Happy End (15 Apr). Tickets cost £30 for any eight films; or £5 per film. Films are shown at St Mary's Parish House in Castle Road on Monday evenings. They start at 7.30pm. n For details, ring Guy on 07748 280871 or email guysmith@tiscali.co.uk. Dan Stevens as Charles Dickens

Kylie and Cliff at the open-air theatre RATHER predictably, Kylie Minogue’s Scarborough show sold out almost immediately. Tickets costing between £54 and £82 were snapped up within hours. After a couple of shows in Ireland next week, the pop princess from down under will be back in the UK for nine gigs in the summer, ending with the open-air theatre on 1 August. Kylie, 50, released her 14th album, Golden, in April. It was recorded in London, Los Angeles and Nashville, with the latter profoundly influencing the record. At the time of writing, tickets for Cliff Richard’s return visit to the open-air theatre on 26 June
hadn’t sold out. They cost £60.50 and £71.50. The seemingly ageless Cliff, 78, notched up his first UK hit a decade before Kylie was born. Move It, from 1958, is regarded by many as Britain’s first authentic rock ‘n’ roll song, bringing what had previously been an American genre across the Atlantic. Cliff is the UK’s most successful hitmaker, with worldwide sales exceeding 250m. He was knighted in 1995. Born Harry Webb in colonial India in 1940, Cliff has sold over 250m records worldwide, including 21m in the UK. n Website: scarboroughopenairtheatre.com.

Seasonal sale of artwork at Woodend A FESTIVE celebration of art, craft and entertainment will be hosted by Woodend in Scarborough on 8 and 9 December, from 10.30am to 5pm. Christmas Crescent is being organised by Blueberry Academy, which provides specialist support for young adults with learning difficulties. Louise Traill of Blueberry said: “It’s a wonderful opportunity for our students. It’s not just a learning opportunity, it’s a huge boost to their self-esteem as well”. Woodend director Andrew Clay was equally enthusiastic. “This sort of event showcases Woodend as its very best,” he said. “All our tenants are right behind it and several will be exhibiting”. Christmas Crescent will feature arts and crafts made by the Blueberry students and other exhibitors from the area, including Scampston Hall, which sell arts, crafts and plants. All the artwork will be on sale. The Woodend artists taking part are: Angela Chalmers’ cyanotypes, also known as blueprints, are made using a simple method of camera-less photography, chemicals and sunlight to create delicate and evocative prints.
Ruth Collett’s ceramic work is inspired by the Wolds fields, bees and beehives. Her textured pieces use recycled plastic packaging. Plus framed photos and calendars of quirky views of the south bay. Textile designer Lindsey Tyson combines felt and print on fabric to create tactile home accessories inspired by nature. Her work includes pebble pin-cushions, tea-lights, vases, bowls and other artwork. Wendy Belshaw works mainly in oils and encaustic wax to create her paintings. She also makes jewellery and seasonal craft pieces. Tony Belshaw works in various media and has recently been creating artwork from seathemed, locally-sourced and sea-washed pottery. Carolyn Letten is a textile and graphite pencil artist taking inspiration from the coast and moors. She teaches machine embroidery in her studio. Eileen Heaton will be showing her paintings inspired by photos and memories of childhood. n Websites: www.angelachalmers.com, www.ruthcollett.co.uk, www.lindseytyson. co.uk, www.woodendcreative.co.uk.

SYLVIA PANKHURST was the subject of a talk by Scarborough Museums Trust collections manager Simon Hedges. It was for the Friends of Scarborough Art Gallery, where a small touring exhibition of the suffragette’s artwork can be seen until 6 January. The 16 powerful pictures are valuable records of social history showing details of women doing repetitive work in various industries, earning the equivalent of about 25p per week. They show the tedium of monotonous work,

some in heavy industries and quite dangerous, and women's subservience to male workers. “The pictures show Sylvia’s affinity with these overworked and underpaid women and reflect her anger over their conditions”, says Robin Stenhouse of the Friends. Simon showed a slide of a touching self-portrait in prison clothes at Holloway in 1906. Pankhurst was jailed after lobbying at the House of Commons with her mother on behalf of the suffragettes.

FROM THE TOUCHLINE
All the latest from Scarborough Rugby Club...
BY DAVE CAMPBE LL

Scarborough RUFC under-12 years team before their game with Wallsend RFC at Twickenham
EVEN with Scarborough’s first team sitting on top of North One, it’s the club’s under 12 side which takes pride of place in this month’s review. A part of the Silver Roydbased club’s junior-youth-girls section which caters for children aged from two through seventeen years old, they were picked to represent the area as guards of honour and to play a curtain-raiser game with Wallsend RFC prior to the England-New Zealand test on the 10th of November. They were also part of the guard of honour when HRH Prince Harry laid his wreath in memory of the fallen in World War One. The youngsters, their parents and coaches raised money at the first team home game with Driffield on the 3rd of November with a cake sale; collections etc to help fund their trip; they travelled to London and back on the day for their big adventure on the 10th. The Children had a wonderful time and won their curtain-raiser, the only slight disappointment was that England’s late winning try against the All Blacks was chalked off following an intervention by the video referee and Eddie Jones’s men lost by the narrowest of margins, 16-15. There was no senior rugby at Silver Royd on the day and the club bar was packed with families and friends cheering the lads on. November ends with both Scarborough’s
first and second teams top of their respective leagues; the league fixture for the first XV on the 3rd of November saw the Seasiders lose their first home game of the season at Silver Royd against Driffield. They raced to a 12-3 lead then conceded three tries to trail 12-24 at the break. They came back strongly after the break to surge 26-24 ahead on the hour but completely switched off at that stage and conceded three tries without reply to lose 2642 in front of a stunned Scarborough faithful. A rest day on the 10th was followed on the 17th by the long trip to bottom club Consett in County Durham. The Geordies were promoted as champions from Durham Northumberland One at the end of last season but have struggled in North One where they had yet to win a match. Their hopes and confidence rocketed when they took a 7-0 lead in the 5th minute and only solid defence from the visitors kept the score down to that. However having settled, Coach Simon Smith’s charges bounced back with tries from centre Aaron Wilson, wing Jonty Holloway and fullback Jimmy Perrett plus four points from the boot of Tom Ratcliffe for a 19-7 half-time lead. After the break further tries from lock Tom Hicks and flanker Drew Govier converted by Ratcliffe stretched the lead before a late consolation try for the home side saw Scarborough run
out 31-14 winners. And the Seasiders ended the month in Style, delivering a thumping to former championship-level side Morley at Silver Royd. The Leeds-based outfit scored a closerange try in the 3rd minute; Scarborough struck back almost immediately with a try in the 5th minute and having scored another two led 17-12 at the interval. Turning in their best forty minutes rugby of the season, the Silver-Royders ran in five unanswered tries after the break. Morley managed a late consolation touchdown but were soundly beaten 50-17 as Scarborough topped North One East on consecutive Saturdays. With other scores going their way the Seasiders moved from fourth top the table; a creditable effort for their first three months in exalted company at level six. December will be another difficult month with a trip to South Shields to take on Percy Park on the 1st then consecutive home derbies against Malton & Norton and Bridlington respectively on the 8th and 15th of the month. Scarborough’s second string, the Vikings play in the Yorkshire Eastern Merit League with no cup competitions and an odd number teams, so rest Saturdays throughout the season are a fact of life and two fell in November They started the month with an away trip to Driffield to take on their third team. As usual due to farming commitments the Woldsmen struggled early in the season but a lack of clinical execution by the visitors saw a tight and even match get away from them and a Pos 1

14-12 score at 60 minutes ended up in a 38-12 defeat. That defeat came at the end of nine consecutive games and was followed by another rest day and fourteen days without a game. And what a difference that fortnight make. The Vikings had all their key players back and fuel in the tank. They welcomed Hull University Men’s 1st XV to the coast; a game that was billed as a potential banana skin for the home side being young and fit versus old and learned technique; however the game deviated widely from that script. Everything clicked; the Vikings attacking patterns, offloading in the tackles and solid set pieces put the young students to the sword. Under Coach Craig Bone’s guidance, the Vikings ran riot and finished winning the match ten tries to one, 64-10. Captain Andy Rossol ran in a hat-trick from centre, with a brace for No8 Dudley Sargeant and outstanding performances from one to fifteen. Young Elliot Hutchinson had his best game yet at openside flanker and, despite not crossing the white wash, shared the man of the match award with Captain Rossol. The Vikings end November knowing that they will finish the month top of the table Yorkshire Eastern as the midway point of the season draws close. December sees them end the year with three tough local derbies at on the road at Beverley, Malton and Bridlington respectively. The results of which will define their Christmas mood, and potentially their push to be in the top four playoff positions come the end of the season in April. L

FROM THE SIDELINES By Steve Adamson
PLANS SUBMITTED SCARBOROUGH Athletic FC have submitted plans to Scarborough Borough Council for the first stage of the proposed ground improvements at the Flamingo Land Stadium. The plan is for a new stand to be erected along the full length of the pitch at the donkey field side of the ground. The stand will incorporate 336 seats and 860 elevated standing spaces all under cover. Funding to build the stand is already in place, and the club is now trying to raise around £28,000 to cover planning, survey and design costs, with various fund raising and sponsorship initiatives currently in place. The club is currently attracting regular 4-figure crowds, but the ground only has cover for around 550 spectators.
STILL TOP OF THE LEAGUE Boro remain top of the Evo Stik League Premier Division table despite a 3-1 loss at fellow title chasers Farsley Celtic. A 2-0 home win against Marine on 17 November left Boro 4 points clear of nearest rivals Nantwich Town, with both teams having played 19 league matches. Progress was also made in two cup competitions, as local rivals Whitby Town were beaten in a penalty shoot-out in the second round of the Integro League Cup, while a 5-0 away win against Redcar Town booked Boro a place in the quarter-finals of the North Riding Senior Cup.

PLAYER OF THE MONTH Keeper Tommy Taylor was voted Boro’s Player of the Month for October during which he kept four successive clean sheets as Boro went seven matches unbeaten to win the Evo Stik League Premier Division club of the month award.
TWO LOAN SIGNINGS Manager Steve Kittrick has signed two players on one-month loans. Vastly experienced 35year old midfielder Jamie McGuire arrives from Frickley Athletic, having previously played for Tranmere Rovers, Cammell Laird, Northwich Victoria, Droylesden, Fleetwood Town, Mansfield Town and Boston United. Also joining on loan is striker Declan Bacon from Conference North side Alfreton Town. Last season he scored 45 goals for Bottesford Town in the NCEL. Both players made their debuts in the 2-0 win against Marine.

Scarborough Athletic Commentator, Ant Taylor, welcomes a guest writer in to give us the lowdown on an international match that happened last month. You can find him on Twitter @Iamradioant
OSSET UNITED MATCH REPORT ON SUNDAY 18th November there was an international match and I’m not talking about England versus Croatia. But at Ossett United’s ground, Ingfield, the Yorkshire International team played Panjab FA. It was the first meeting and both teams are members of Confederation of Independent Football Associations (CONIFA). CONIFA have 52 members around the globe from Quebec in North America to Tuvalu in the Oceania region. I’ve spoken to the guys at Yorkshire IFA and they have sent over their match report, I’ll not give any spoilers apart from Tom Greaves. People around here may know that name, especially Bridlington Town fans, but he’s the ex-manager and player of FC United of Manchester, currently playing for Ossett United in the Evo-stik League East.
Match report by Issac Martin Photos by Matthew Appleby AN INSPIRED Tom Greaves shined as the Yorkshire international football team capped off their inaugural year with an incredible nine goal thriller against Panjab FA as they capped off 2018 with a win that will give the Vikings a great platform to improve on in the coming years. Watched by a crowd of 612 at the home of Osset United football club, the Vikings were looking to bounce back from a 2-1 defeat last month against the Parishes of Jersey. It definitely wasn’t the start that the YIFA men wanted, within the first minute a lapse of concentration allowed the Panjab attack through, who then rounded off a lovely move with a sweet volley at the far post. Despite the setback it only took a few minutes for Yorkshire to reply, Greaves broke through the Panjab defence and rounded the keeper to get his first of the afternoon. The equaliser sprang the Yorkshire fans into life but Panjab had other ideas, in the 12th
minute they found themselves in the lead again as the tested the YIFA keeper Ed hall, but it was the Panjab strikers who were most alert and jumped on the rebound to restore their lead. Despite falling behind again, YIFA didn’t sit back and gradually got themselves back into the game and began to ask questions of the Panjab defence, Lichfield even pulling off a lovely Cruyff turn on one attack. The Vikings hard work would soon payed off, Tom Greaves was found in the box and rose like a salmon to double his tally for the afternoon and bring Yorkshire back into the game in the 37th minute. YIFA started off the second half as they finished the first and took the lead, Litchfield fired an absolute rocket of an effort from the edge of the box which flew past the Panjab keeper, giving him no chance. But minutes later it would all turn upside down for Yorkshire yet again, as Panjab found an equaliser and then in the 62nd minute took the lead as their number 10 bended in a sublime freekick from the edge of the box to make it 4-3 to the away side. That wasn’t to be the end of the goal fest either, three minutes later the Man of the match Tom Greaves was most alert in a goal scramble to level the game yet again for the Vikings. Greaves’s days’ work wasn’t over just yet as the Osset United striker added a fourth to his tally as he rose highest at a corner to give Yorkshire a 5-4 lead with just under 20 minutes to go. Despite attempts from both teams in the final stages the game ended at 5-4, a fantastic game for the fans and a sublime advert for CONIFA football.
