JAMIE LOSES BRAVE FIGHT FOR LIFE 

RESTING 

WITH 

ANGELS 

by Kim Law 

Jamie Inglis lost his courageous fight 

against cancer this week after battling 

Neuroblastoma for three years. 

The brave seven-year-old, from Kelfield, 

passed away peacefully on Monday 

afternoon in hospital in Germany, with his 

mum Vicky laying beside him and his dad 

John holding his hand. 

Jamie's parents posted on the 'Keep Jamie 

Smiling' Facebook page, in the early hours of 

Wednesday and broke the devastating news 

to the thousands of supporters who have 

been following Jamie's situation in Germany 

over recent months. 

The heart-breaking post read: "I really do 

not know how I can express what has 

happened. 

“We have had to make difficult decisions 

over the last 24 hours. Truly the most difficult 

of our lives. 

"Jamie is in peaceful sleep now and his 

fight against Neuroblastoma ended on 

Monday at 3.45pm Central European Time, 

here in the beautiful town of Tubingen. 

"We have been truly blessed to bring such 

an amazing child into this world. 

Neuroblastoma only seeks out the best and 

the best is what Jamie is. 

"As his mummy, I can take comfort in 

knowing that the beginning of eternal sleep 

was completely dignified and with the advice 

of the remarkable team at the hospital, that 

dignified time had arrived.”

‘The pain of losing you is horrendous 

but no more 

suffering for you 

beautiful boy...’ 

Continued from front page 

The heart-wrenching message 

continues: "We have nothing but 

complete admiration and respect 

for everyone involved in Jamie's 

care since we arrived here in 

Germany. The last 2 months have 

been the most difficult for Jamie 

and everyone involved but we 

have all done everything we can." 

Mrs Inglis explained to Jamie's 

supporters how the moment Jamie 

passed away was peaceful, and 

how her and husband John were 

with Jamie at the time. 

The post continued: "The team 

took into account all of our wishes 

to every last detail which meant 

that eternal sleep arrived with 

mummy lying next to him and 

daddy holding his hand and we 

feel so fortunate we were able to 

say goodbye properly. 

"Even at the end, I carried on 

talking to him, telling Jamie how 

loved he was by everyone and as 

we had asked for all the alarms on 

the machines to be silenced, I did 

not even know Jamie had left us. 

"It was so peaceful and calm but my god, nothing can 

prepare you for it. We thought we had prepared ourselves 

over the last four years but NOTHING prepares you." 

Vicky Inglis then paid tribute to her son on behalf of the 

family, and said: "On Monday, January 15, 2013, 

Neuroblastoma took away a Grandchild, Godson, Cousin, 

Nephew, Friend and ultimately our son. 

"Jamie I will stay with you forever, as you will do with me 

and hundreds of others. 

"Your smile will forever encapsulate the meaning of your 

life - happiness and as you began to leave me my darling boy, 

I knew that you would continue to bring and find happiness 

wherever you go. God bless you Neuroblastoma Angel. 

"The pain of losing you is horrendous but no more 

suffering for you beautiful boy. Lots of love and proud hugs, 

Mummy, Daddy and Poppy." 

Supporters who have been following the Inglis family's 

situation in Germany over recent months, immediately 

flooded onto the online page and showered the post from 

Mrs Inglis with tributes and comments.

BIG BROTHER: Jamie gives a reassuring 

hug to little sister Poppy. 

Wednesday afternoon, 

sending thoughts and 

prayers to Jamie's 

parents in Germany 

and younger sister 

Poppy, who is here in 

England with the rest 

of the family. 

Jamie Inglis is the 

second youngster from 

the Selby district who 

has lost their battle 

with the childhood 

cancer Neuroblastoma, 

as Selby tot Thomas 

Cammack lost his 

battle in April 2012, 

aged just four-yearsold. 

Jamie was first 

diagnosed with 

Neuroblastoma in 

2009, and his parents 

have spent the past 

three years 

fundraising and 

travelling 

worldwide for 

pioneering 

treatment for Jamie. 

After the first year of fundraising, 

the family flew out to America for 

potentially life-saving treatment for 

Jamie and believed that he had beaten 

Neuroblastoma. 

Unfortunately the cancer returned in 

March 2011, and fundraising appeals 

were set up in an attempt to raise £250,000 

to pay for a medical trial, which 

oncologists' described as Jamie's best chance 

of survival. 

Despite this, the NHS would not fund the 

Stem Cell Treatment (STC), and the local 

health service refused the family's request for 

funding, claiming there was no empirical 

evidence to show that STC treatment actually 

works. 

In stem-cell treatment, which was 

pioneered in Germany, the cells are usually 

taken from either one of the parents, 

depending on who is most compatible. 

In Jamie's case, his father John has donated 

Stem Cells on several occasions over the past 

two years, which were then transferred to 

Jamie in an attempt to improve his immune 

system and fight off the cancer. 

The youngster and his parents flew out to 

Germany in August 2012, for Jamie to begin 

the Stem Cell Treatment, and he spent the 

first four weeks in a sealed-isolation room. 

Before Christmas 2012, the family believed 

the treatment had been successful and Jamie 

was discharged from hospital and came 

home to England for a week. 

Unfortunately the family had to return to 

Germany for anti-body treatment towards the 

end of 2012, and Jamie's situation 

deteriorated from there. 

Jamie later developed a virus called 

adenovirus, which spread to his lungs and 

made it difficult for Jamie to breathe. 

The Inglis family spent Christmas in the 

German hospital with Jamie, as he developed 

pneumonia and inflammation of the brain 

which was brought on by the virus. 

Over the past month, Jamie's situation was 

constantly 

up and down as 

he received more Stem Cells and T Cells 

(specific to the virus) from father John, in 

an attempt to repair his immune system. 

Sadly, because Jamie's lungs 

deteriorated, high dose steroids had to be 

administered for three days and wiped out 

the T cells specific to the adenovirus and 

without the cells, Jamie could not fight the 

virus. 

The seven-year-old’s condition 

deteriorated rapidly three weeks ago as 

Jamie slipped into a coma and was left 

fighting for his life in a critical condition. 

During their time in Germany, Jamie 

underwent chemotherapy, antibody 

treatment, and has had a previous 

injection of his father's stem cells after 

John underwent six hours of treatment 

similar to kidney dialysis in September 

2012. 

Despite Jamie's condition been 

described as 'stable' last week, the 

family had to make some important 

decision with the help of the medical 

team in Germany, and Jamie lost his 

three-year battle against 

Neuroblastoma this week. 

The Selby Post previously set up an appeal 

to raise money for Jamie and his family before 

Christmas and would like to thank everyone 

who donated to this appeal. 

ALWAYS SMILING: Jamie faced his fight 

with dignity and courage, and touched the 

lives of hundreds during his short 

lifetime. 

“ 

Your smile will 

forever 

encapsulate the 

meaning of your life - 

happiness... 

” 

– Vicky Inglis 

The staff of 

the Selby Post would also like to express their 

sincere condolences to Jamie's parents, family 

and friends - such a beautiful boy who fought 

so bravely. Our thought are with you.

Prison 

officer 

jailed 

A senior prison officer from Selby has been jailed for three years after 

admitting an intimate relationship with a prison inmate. 

Single mum Rebecca King, who served 14 years in the prison service but has 

now resigned, also admitted concealing £9,490 cash made by her prisoner lover 

David Turnbull via his criminal activity. 

Teesside Crown Court heard how King, 33, met Turnbull while working at 

HMP Wealston at Wetherby and HMP Everthorpe in Humberside. 

She denied entering a relationship with him until he’d been released, which 

was accepted by the Crown. 

But when Turnbull was later remanded in jail for drug dealing, she kept 

contact with him via an illicit mobile phone kept in the cells at HMP Holme 

House. 

Sentencing King on Friday (January 11), Judge Simon Bourne-Arton QC 

rejected a plea for a suspended sentence from defence barrister Christopher Knox 

who said King had been 'groomed' by Turnbull. 

The judge said, crucially, King had sent top-up codes to Turnbull in prison to 

use on his mobile phone - including while she was on bail for her own offences. 

Previously, King admitted three charges of misconduct in a public office, 

between January 2008 and September this year. She also admitted an allegation 

of concealing criminal property in October 2011. 

King was of previous good character but the judge said: “The public expects 

those in the prison service to carry out their duties properly. 

“You broke that trust. Use of mobile phones in prisons is a of great 

consequence. They allow career criminals to continue with their criminal 

activities. You knew Turnbull was a career criminal. 

“In 2008, you started a relationship with him. You should have reported that 

to your employers. This continued for over three years.” 

He said cash was found in property near Selby used by King which was 

derived from crimes committed by Turnbull, who was connected with Class A 

drugs. 

A pilot freed himself from a light 

aircraft after the plane crashed into a 

field at Bubwith. 

Humberside Fire and Rescue were 

called to the incident on Street Lane at 

Bubwith, which occurred at 1.40pm on 

Saturday, January 12. 

The pilot of the single seater plane 

was uninjured and managed to free 

himself before emergency services 

arrived and firefighters later isolated 

fuel supplies to make the aircraft safe. 

Fire crews used a first aid trauma bag 

at the scene, before leaving the pilot in 

the hands of the local GP and ambulance 

service who carried out precautionary 

check-ups. 

The plane landed short in a field close 

to Breighton Airfield, where it was 

originally supposed to land. 

A spokesman from Breighton Airfield 

said: "This was a privately owned 

aircraft which does not belong to the 

Real Aeroplane Company, although it was meant to land here at the airfield, but 

landed short. 

"This is not uncommon when aircrafts are landing and happens quite regularly. 

Prison officer Rebecca King (32), from Selby arrives at Teesside Crown 

Court to be sentenced for having an improper relationship with an inmate, 

convicted drugs baron David Turnbull, and putting credit on a mobile phone 

which could be used by the prisoner from behind bars. (17-01-17 SP) 

When King was going through the court process herself in May 2012, she 

continued to contact Turnbull in prison and texted him top-ups for his mobile 

phone. 

“There were more than 1,600 contacts between you,” he said. 

“You were on bail and continued to facilitate the use of his mobile phone. This 

was palpably criminal. I accept you were used by Turnbull, but the relationship 

continued too long for you to be blind with love for him. Offences of this kind 

have to carry a deterrent.” 

Prosecutor Simon Myers said Turnbull had been remanded in prison for 

conspiracy to supply Class A drugs. A mobile phone was found at the prison and 

numbers on it connected to King. 

Defence barrister Knox said King didn’t deliberately support Turnbull’s 

criminal activity but got “dragged in after falling hopelessly in love with this 

man”. 

Detective Sergeant Mick Wilson, of Cleveland Police, praised “outstanding” 

investigation by regional organised crime unit detectives to achieve the result 

and said it was “sad to see public sector employees involved in corruption. I 

hope this is a deterrent for those considering this type of criminality.” 

Pilot frees himself from plane crash 

The pilot of the Taylor JT1 mono plane landed short of the airfield, 

and crashed the aircraft into a field in Bubwith. (17-01-27 GT) 

"In this instance, there was no drama and no injuries, and the pilot got himself 

out of the aircraft straight away, and was just a bit ruffled I think. 

"We do not know why the plane landed short as of yet, but think it could of 

potentially being due to engine failure."

Sudden 

death 

sparked 

collision 

rumours 

An elderly man recently collapsed and 

died in a street in Selby. 

Emergency services were called out 

by concerned passers by who spotted 

the man, who had collapsed on Haig 

Street in the evening of Monday, 

January 7. 

North Yorkshire Police released a 

statement last week, saying: "Police were 

called by the ambulance service to the 

sudden death of a man in his seventies 

in Haig Street in Selby at around 

7.40pm. 

"There are no suspicious 

circumstances and the police are not 

investigating this incident." 

A resident who lives close by 

witnessed the tragic incident and said: 

"At first there were rumours that he had 

been hit by a car, because he had 

collapsed right at the front of a car, and 

when he fell he was almost under the 

front of the vehicle. 

"I believe paramedics spent over 20 

minutes trying to revive him but had no 

luck." 

A spokesperson from Yorkshire 

Ambulance Service said: "We received a 

call from a third party at 7.05pm, over 

concerns of a male in Haig Street. 

"We sent a rapid response vehicle and 

a two-manned ambulance which 

transported the elderly man to York 

District Hospital." 

It is believed that the man was 

pronounced dead at the scene. 

Lucky 

escape 

from 

smash 

Firefighters were called to a threevehicle 

crash in Eggborough recently 

where one driver received treatment 

from the ambulance service. 

Two appliances from Selby and two 

from Humberside Fire Service attended 

the incident, which happened on 

Thursday, January 10, at around 8.45pm. 

Three vehicles had collided on High 

Eggborough Lane (close to the A19) but 

no one was trapped in their vehicles 

when firefighters arrived at the scene. 

One casualty was treated by 

paramedics and it is believed that no 

one was seriously injured as a result of 

the crash. 

Firefighters made all three vehicles 

safe before leaving the incident.

Guilty plea 

to ten sex 

charges 

PAGE FOUR Thursday, January 17th, 2013 

A 62-year-old Cliffe man has changed 

his pleas to ten charges relating to 

alleged sexual activity with teenage boys 

to guilty. 

Robert Ascough, of Turnham Lane, 

appeared before York Crown Court on 

Monday (January 14) on charges relating 

to two victims. 

The change of plea was made on the 

day that Ascough was due to stand trial 

on the charges. 

The first of the boys was assaulted by 

Ascough on dates between March 1977 

and February 1981, when he was aged 

between 12 and 16, the second on dates 

between August 1995 and August 1999, 

when the complainant was under 14years-old. 

In total Ascough has now admitted 

eight charges of indecent assault on a 

male, one of male rape and one of 

attempted rape, on the victims who 

cannot be identified for legal reasons. 

Ascough, who has no previous 

convictions on his record, was readmitted 

to conditional bail by Judge 

Shaun Spencer, who was told that the 

defendant required time to sort out 

matters, including his home, the welfare 

of his dog and his finances. 

Taryn Turner, defending, said that her 

client realised that he would be facing a 

substantial prison sentences, but had 

always answered his bail throughout the 

proceedings. 

Ascough, who has no previous 

convictions, was bailed on condition 

that he has no contact with the two, now 

adult, alleged victims 

He is also barred from having any 

unsupervised contact with anyone under 

16, has to reside at his home address and 

comply with the production of a presentence 

report. 

Mrs Turner said that a psychiatric 

report was also being sought on her 

client, who, on entering his guilty pleas, 

was ordered to register as a sex offender. 

The case was adjourned until a 

sentencing hearing on March 11, when it 

is hoped that all the reports will be in 

place. 

Barn break-in 

Police are appealing for information 

on a break-in at a barn in 

Camblesforth. 

The incident happened at a stables 

complex beside the A1041, where the 

intruders broke a padlocked wooden 

door to gain entry to the building. 

Nothing was stolen. 

The break-in happened in the early 

hours of Tuesday, January 15. 

Anyone with information is asked to 

call North Yorkshire Police on 101. 

A traveller family is set to appeal 

against a council decision to reject 

their bid for a new residential site in 

Drax. 

Michael Smith, the head of a family 

which pitched up on the New Road site 

without planning consent three years 

ago, had asked Selby District Council 

for retrospective permission to keep 

three caravans on the land as well as an 

amenity block. 

But councillors on the authority's 

Planning Committee turned the bid 

down last week because the agricultural 

Pub receivers tight-lipped over new owners 

A waterfront building which used to 

house a popular Selby pub has been 

sold. 

GVA Grimley, the building's receivers, 

said this week that the former Queen 

Lizzie sports bar in Ousegate had been 

sold. 

However, the Manchester-based firm 

said it could not say at this stage who 

had bought the building. 

GVA Grimley has been acting as the 

receiver for the former pub - which was 

officially opened by former Leeds 

United captain Jonny Howson several 

years ago - following the closure of the 

Queen Lizzie last year. 

The building's owner, Lips Leisure 

Ltd, went into liquidation last year and 

its sister company Sandhurst Leisure 

decided to close the pub - formerly the 

Queen's Vaults - reportedly due to a 

drop in trade. 

A spokesman for GVA Grimley said: 

"Due to difficult trading conditions we 

inherited a vacant pub, and have since gone on to sell it. We are in the process of 

completing the deal." 

The spokesman said the firm could not disclose the name of the new owner at 

this stage, but added that it was very unlikely the building would become a pub 

again. 

Meanwhile, another waterfront building in Ousegate has lost its tenant following 

the closure of the Pizza Ranch takeaway. 

Mushroom farm site 

‘must be cleared’ 

by Nick Towle 

A former mushroom farm which was repeatedly 

targeted by arsonists will finally be cleared 

following successful enforcement action by Selby 

District Council. 

The owner of the site, Monaghan Mushrooms, was 

due to appeal against a council order to clear the site 

this week. 

The case against the district council was due to be 

heard at Selby Magistrates' Court on Tuesday, but the 

Irish firm withdrew its appeal before the hearing. 

It means that Monaghan, which owns another 

mushroom farm in Whitley, will now have to 

demolish all the old buildings on the Gateforth New 

Road site and remove all materials and flammable 

items. 

Police and fire chiefs have welcomed the firm's 

decision to withdraw its appeal and say they hope it 

will bring to an end the series of arson attacks which 

have plagued the site since the former mushroom 

operation closed down several years ago. 

Tony Walker, Blue Watch manager at Selby Fire 

Station, said: "We have had so many incidents on that 

site over the last few years, so the decision to 

withdraw its appeal is fantastic news for us. 

"We've been called out to the site on numerous 

land was in a flood zone and in their 

opinion constituted a "highlyvulnerable 

development". 

They made the decision despite 

council officers advising the committee 

that the site was acceptable in terms of 

safety and appearance. 

In addition, a report by the council's 

Environmental Health department 

stated that there had been no "publichealth 

issues" related to the site since 

the family arrived in 2010. 

However, another report to the 

committee stated that the 0.14-hectare 

Receivers for the former sporting pub Queen Lizzie, on 

Ousegate, claimed they could not reveal at this stage who 

has purchased the building, but said it is ʻhighly unlikelyʼ 

the building will become a pub again. (17-01-19 EF) 

occasions and it's all been due to arson attacks and 

vandalism. 

"It was taking up so much of our time and resources 

- for each incident, we were sending two or three 

appliances there for a couple of hours. 

"We know it's our job and we never complain, but 

it's time we could have spent on community safety." 

Mr Walker added: "We are so pleased those old 

buildings are going to be pulled down. The whole site 

was giving us cause for concern. 

"On our first very first call-out the crews had to deal 

with a fire involving insulated panels, which is quite 

dangerous to firefighters because it causes rapid fire 

spread and then a sudden collapse (of parts of the 

building). 

"Any disused sites are always quite dangerous for 

us because, like this one, fly-tippers use them as 

dumping grounds and you get all sorts of hazardous 

materials lying around. 

"An added danger is the construction of the 

buildings themselves - in this case asbestos roofs and 

mushroom sheds coated with plastics, all of which is 

not good for the environment if they go up in flames. 

"We are not bothered who brings these buildings 

down - we are just happy that someone is doing it." 

site, next to Drax Power Station, faced 

an "unacceptable risk of flooding". 

The agent for Mr Smith has said that 

it is likely his client will appeal the 

council's decision. 

The Smiths will contend that there is 

no flood risk on the site and that this 

has been proved by a flood-risk 

assessment carried out before the 

application was submitted. 

If the family do decide to appeal, it 

would mean that the council would not 

be able to take enforcement action until 

after the outcome of the appeal. 

The former Pizza Ranch takeaway is the latest Selby shop 

to close its doors. (17-01-50 SP NT) 

A spokesman 

for Ernest Wilson, the Leeds-based estate agents who are co-ordinating the sale of 

the property, said they were now looking to sell the freehold to the Waterfront Hotel 

building. 

He added that rooms would continue to be let on the upper floors above the 

vacant former takeaway. 

"We'll be letting rooms as mini-apartments," said the spokesman. "People will be 

able to rent them for the weekend and all through the week as well." 

The decision to reject the development 

followed a local opposition campaign led 

by Drax Parish Council and backed by 

Selby MP Nigel Adams. 

The parish council claimed that the 

family had blatantly sought to get around 

planning rules by pitching up without 

planning consent and then trying to force 

the council's hand by asking for 

retrospective permission. 

The site is one of two pieces of land in 

Drax which residents claim have been 

illegally taken over by traveller families. 

The other one is a site in Long Drax 

As well as demolishing the old buildings which 

have been torched by vandals, Monaghan Mushrooms 

will also have to remove insulation materials, plastics, 

metals, laminates, asbestos, cardboard, glass and 

polystyrene from the site. 

The firm will also be responsible for removing old 

furniture dumped on the site by fly-tippers such as old 

mattresses, chairs and sofas. 

Inspector Michelle Falkingham, of Selby Police, 

said: "We have had resources used down at the site for 

numerous issues alongside the fire service. 

"We support the decision to withdraw the appeal 

and look forward to the site being cleared." 

Despite there having been numerous incidents of 

arson and vandalism on the site, no-one has ever been 

brought to book for any of the incidents. 

In February and March last year, there were two 

very serious incidents in which firefighters fought a 

blaze which ripped through derelict buildings at the 

old farm. At least one of the buildings was destroyed 

by the fire, which police say was started deliberately. 

Inside the building, firefighters found compressed 

pallets, waste wood and plastics, as well as two 

propane gas cylinders. 

Appeal likely over refusal of Drax travellers’ site bid 

where a family of travellers pitched up 

about a year ago without planning 

permission. 

They installed hardstandings and a 

septic tank and then put in a planning 

application for an agricultural building, 

which residents say looks more like a 

house or static caravan. 

The application was refused by the 

council earlier this year and the owners 

were issued with an enforcement notice. 

However, the occupiers have appealed 

the decision, which is currently being 

considered by the Planning Inspectorate.


Body found 

on banks of 

river Ouse 

A body was found on the bank of the River Ouse 

by a member of the public recently as they 

walked along the riverbank near Naburn. 

The unpleasant discovery was made at around 

11am on Sunday, January 13, by a member of the 

public while they were walking along the side of 

the river. 

Police said the relatives of several missing 

people had been informed of the discovery, as this 

is routine procedure. 

Speaking at the scene shortly after the discovery, 

Detective Inspector Ian Dyer, of North Yorkshire 

Police said: “A member of the public has found 

what we believe to be a body by the side of the 

river. We don’t know whether it’s male or female or 

if the person went into the river. 

"At this moment we are trying to recover the 

body but there is no reason to believe there has 

been anything suspicous.” 

The body was found on the Naburn side of the

Man (18) 

stole boy’s 

bicycle 

PAGE SIX Thursday, January 17th, 2013 

Chance to appeal as proposed Car targeted 

An 18-year-old man stole a bicycle from 

a 10-year-old Sherburn-In-Elmet boy, 

magistrates have heard. 

Calum Morley, pleaded guilty to the 

offence of theft of a pedal cycle worth 

£300, at Selby Magistrates' Court on 

Thursday, January 11, when he was 

brought up from the cells as a serving 

prisoner for another offence. 

The offence took place on August 5 

last year when the child, who cannot be 

named for legal reasons, left his bike in 

his front garden while he was out 

playing with friends. 

The next day, a friend of the victim 

had seen Mr Morley using the bike and 

when he asked the victim why Mr 

Morley had been using the bike it 

appeared the 10-year-old boy had not 

given him permission to take it. 

When the police searched for the 

bike, they found it had been dismantled, 

with some parts having been filed away 

and some of the stickers with the serial 

numbers on them had been removed. 

Sandra White, prosecuting solicitor 

said: "It is now considered to be 

damaged, even though the cycle can be 

put back together again some of the 

parts have started to rust and the 

manufacturing company does not 

replace the stickers." 

Defending him, Keith Haggerty, said: 

"He tells me quite adamantly that he 

wasn't responsible for the dismantling 

and damaging of the bicycle. He has 

apologised to the child in question. He 

has another three weeks to serve in 

prison so although in isolation this 

offence does not normally carry a 

custodial sentence, I would invite you 

consider one to run concurrently with 

the one he is already serving." 

Presiding Magistrate, Hilary 

Gilbertson, said: "This bench thinks it is 

disgraceful to steal a child's toy in that 

way and you should be ashamed of 

yourself. People are very proud of new 

bikes and you have deprived him of 

this. He will get no compensation for 

this, he will just have to make do. This 

is an appalling record and is something 

you should be looking at to change your 

ways." 

Magistrates sentenced Mr Morley to 

28 days imprisonment, to run 

concurrently with the sentence he is 

serving. 

40 jobs at new 

Wetherspoons 

The chief executive of pub giant 

Wetherspoon's says that the arrival of 

the popular boozer in Selby will be a 

catalyst for renewed economic growth 

in the town. 

John Hutson, chief executive of the 

pub chain, said: "The new pub will 

create 40 jobs which we believe will 

be a great boost for Selby and, 

hopefully, the investment by 

Wetherspoon will be a catalyst for 

other companies to invest in the 

town." 

He added: "We are looking forward 

to opening our new pub in Selby. We 

are now less than three months away 

from the opening and the building 

work is coming on well." 

The pub, which will be called the 

Giant Bellflower, is due to open on 

March 26. 

taxi fare increases are revealed 

Taxi fares in Selby are set to increase for the first time in two 

years after proposals were given the go ahead by the district 

council this week. 

Increases for hackney carriage (black cab style taxi) tariffs 

were discussed at Selby District Council’s licensing 

committee's meeting on Monday and the fares are expected to 

come into force in April. 

The authority says drivers around the district have had to 

meet hikes in licence fees and other costs while fares have 

been at a standstill since April last year. 

The council has released a document which advertises the 

new increased taxi fares, and the public will have the chance 

to formally object to the increases, by writing to the council. 

The public notice will be released on Wednesday, January 

23, and there is a 14 day period which starts on that day, 

where members of the public can object. 

If a large amount of objections are received or there is a 

significant reason to re-consider, the increased taxi fares could 

go back to council. 

dies of internal bleeding 

by Kim Law 

Police and wildlife campaigners have condemned 

the badger baiters responsible for the death of a 

female animal found in West Haddlesey. 

The badger was discovered on Monday, January 14, 

near Pale Lane in West Haddlesey by Annette Pyrah, 

who runs Selby Wildlife Rescue and Rehabilitation 

centre at her home in Barlby. 

She was called by Selby police's wildlife crime 

officer Sarah Ward, and the pair went to investigate 

after police were alerted by a dog-walker, who heard 

the badger screaming in agony. 

On arrival, they found the badger with a number of 

injuries, including a bloodied nose and blood in its fur, 

indicating it had been attacked by a dog. 

Sarah removed the body from the water (pictured), 

and a post-mortem was then carried out on Tuesday, 

which revealed that the badger had been bitten to 

death. 

Annette Pyrah said she is extremely upset by the 

incident and hopes the public will help stop further 

incidents from happening. 

She said: "January and February are prime months 

for badger digging. The sows (female badgers) are 

either pregnant or lactating which makes them more 

aggressive as they fight to protect their cubs. 

"Unfortunately it is this aggression which makes 

them more worthy opponents against the dogs used in 

this barbaric crime. 

"Badger baiting is more prevalent than people 

think. If anyone knows of a badger sett and sees 

groups of men with dogs acting suspiciously near the 

sett, then please ring the police immediately. 

"The dog-walker who called the police saw two men 

Lucky escape 

as car ‘flips’ 

A driver escaped uninjured after his car ended up on its 

roof in Selby at the weekend. 

A 24-year-old local man was driving the Citreon Saxo 

which overturned following a collision on Bawtry Road, 

but he was not injured and was the only person in the 

vehicle at the time of the crash. 

The road was blocked off after the accident while 

emergency services made the vehicle safe, and the crash 

occurred shortly after 7.35am on Saturday, January 12. 

The list of new taxi fares reveals that some tariffs have in 

fact decreased, but many others have increased. 

Under the new tariffs, passengers will be charged £3 for the 

first three-quarters of a mile between 7am and 11pm Monday 

to Saturday, rather than the current charge of £3.50. (50 pence 

decrease) However, the charge for every mile after that point 

would now be £1.60, a 10p increase when compared to current 

charges. 

Tariffs for taxis carrying five or more passengers will also 

increase, as passengers would now be charged £4.00 for the 

first half a mile (50 pence increase), and £2.40 for every mile 

thereafter, which is 20 pence higher than the current charge. 

At night time between 11pm and 7am and on Sundays and 

Bank Holidays, Hackney Carriage drivers would charge £3.50 

for the first quarter-mile, rather than the current £3.70 for the 

first three-quarters of a mile. (20 pence decrease) 

Any objections should be sent in writing to the Solicitor to 

the council, Selby District Council, Civic Centre, Portholme 

Road, Selby, YO8 4SB, before Wednesday, February 6.

running away from the scene and we need to catch 

them before more badgers are hurt. 

"Swift action can save badgers from horrendous 

cruelty as they are often torn apart not by one dog, but 

by several." 

Annette told the Selby Post how she has not slept 

after discovering the badly injured badger, and how 

the news only hit her a day later when she heard the 

reaction of others. 

in hotel’s 

car park 

A car was broken into while it was 

parked at The Parsonage Hotel in 

Escrick last weekend. 

Thieves broke the lock of one of the 

passenger doors of the Toyota Aygo, 

before searching through the vehicle 

and stealing property. 

It is unknown what items were stolen, 

but police are seeking information from 

any witnesses which could possibly 

help them with enquiries. 

The incident occurred sometime 

between 8pm on Friday, January 11, and 

8am on Saturday, January 12. 

l Anyone who saw anything suspicious 

in this area around this time should 

contact the police immediately on 10, 

quoting incident number 12130006318. 

She added: "This incident has caused revulsion 

amongst local people and offers of help have been 

received from gamekeepers and farmers in catching 

the culprits, as they are utterly disgusted." 

North Yorkshire Police's Sarah Ward, added: 

"Baiting is a terrible thing that some people do, but it 

is so cruel I really can not understand what people get 

out of it. 

"Police will not tolerate this crime - it is something 

we are determined to stamp out and we will do all we 

can to make sure that anyone caught is punished for 

their actions." 

Sarah explained how many passers by on 

surrounding roads will have seen the men digging, 

and added: "This terrible incident has happened in 

broad daylight, in the middle of a farmers field 

surrounded by two busy roads. 

"People will have passed by and seen them digging, 

as it will have taken some time for them to get to the 

badger. 

"Luckily this sow was not pregnant, because if she 

had have been then the cubs would have been killed 

too. “ 

Sarah explained how anyone who sees anyone 

acting suspicious or digging with dogs in the Selby 

district, should contact police immediately to prevent 

further crimes like this happening. 

l Anyone who has information which could help 

police with their investigation into Monday's incident, 

should contact police on 101, select option 2 and ask 

for Sarah Ward.

Crimestoppers anonymously by calling 0800 555 111.

Security fears at 

fire ravaged site 


Calls have been made for security to be stepped up 

at Abbey Leisure Centre following incidents of 

vandalism. 

Concerns have been raised that youngsters breaking 

into the site might be putting themselves in danger 

due to the state of the building, which was ravaged by 

a huge fire last year and is due for demolition. 

Residents living near the Scott Road site told the 

Selby Post there had been rumours of break-ins at the 

leisure centre and that items such as copper piping 

had been stolen. 

There were also fears that security at the site had 

been relaxed in recent weeks. 

But the district council and Selby Police said there 

had been no incidents since before Christmas. 

The council also claimed that the few break-ins 

which had occurred had been instances of minor 

vandalism, and that security was tight. 

A council spokeswoman said: "The site of the 

Snap sums up 

festive feeling 

This fantastic photo capturing the Selby high street in all its decorous 

Christmas glory has been named the winner of a photographic 

competition. 

The picture, taken by Karen Mitchell from York, was entered into a 

competition run by S.O.S Selby, the online residents' action group set up to 

restore pride back to the town. 

The group launched the competition last November to help promote the 

town centre. 

The theme was 'Selby Town Autumn/Winter 2012'. 

Sean Lumley, of S.O.S Selby, said: "There wasn't a huge response at first 

due to all the gloomy weather, but late in December the entries started 

flooding in. 

"We held a similar competition in the spring which was also very popular. 

More competitions will be held throughout this year sponsored by local 

businesses in the area." 

by Nick Towle 

former Abbey Leisure Centre has been a target for 

some minor vandalism. However, we haven't had any 

incidents reported to us in recent weeks. The building 

is secure and receives regular security patrols. 

"Demolition work at the site will begin shortly. In 

the meantime, we will continue to work closely with 

the police to monitor the situation." 

A spokeswoman for Selby Police said there had 

been a few incidents before Christmas when teenagers 

had been found trespassing on the site. 

She said that, as far as police were aware, there had 

been no metal thefts. 

She added, however, that the building was in such a 

bad state of repair that it was hard to ascertain what, if 

anything, had been stolen. 

She said that police were concerned about the level 

of security on the site. 

"Our concern is that it is empty and sometimes there 

appears to be no security on," added the 

spokeswoman. 

"After the fire there was 24-hour security, but we 

haven't seen any vehicles there for a while." 

She said that, although the gates to the site were 

locked, there were concerns that youngsters might be 

getting in through the back. 

One resident, who asked not to be named, said: 

"The centre is not very secure and is only patrolled 

every now and then. 

"The main concern is that kids could gain access and 

severely hurt themselves. Selby District Council may 

be liable if someone hurts themselves on the site, even 

if they are trespassing. 

"I know that the demolition is going to happen 

soon, but it's quite a worrying situation none the less." 

The council has submitted a planning application 

for demolition of the leisure centre, which was gutted 

by fire last February and will be rebuilt at a cost of 

about £9 million. The rebuild is due to take place some 

time next month. 

The winner of the autumn/winter competition was chosen on New Year's Day 

by Lrb Trophies of Selby, run by Steve Butler (pictured above), who presented 

Karen with an engraved trophy for producing the best picture. (17-01-33/34 SU)

£9,000 

benefit 

cheat 

A Selby woman has admitted 

fraudulently claiming more than £9,000 

in benefits. 

Kelly Robey (23), of Deacon Court, 

appeared at Selby Magistrates' Court on 

Tuesday when she was given a sixmonth 

community and supervision 

order. 

She was also made to pay £390 

towards the prosecution costs incurred 

by Selby District Council. 

Ms Robey was charged with failing to 

notify the council and the Department 

for Work and Pensions (DWP) of a 

change in her circumstances from 

December 2010, with a view to falsely 

obtaining benefits. 

An investigation by the council's 

Counter Fraud Unit had found that Ms 

Robey had failed to declare that her 

partner was living with her. 

This resulted in a housing-benefit 

overpayment of £4,694, a council-tax 

benefit overpayment of £823.50, and an 

income-support overpayment of £3,653. 

These overpayments are being 

recovered by the council and the DWP 

directly from Ms Robey.

reported on the council's website at

Tavern in Back Micklegate at about 7pm 

last Tuesday, when police were called 

out to reports of an assault. 

Officers arrived and arrested one man 

on suspicion of assault and another on 

suspicion of drink-driving, driving 

while disqualified and possessing an 

offensive weapon. 

An ambulance crew and rapidresponse

been injured in the incident. However, 

both injured parties declined hospital 

treatment. 

A spokesman for North Yorkshire 

Police said that a 34-year-old man from 

Selby had been arrested on suspicion of 

assault and bailed pending further 

enquiries. 

A 45-year-old man from Wakefield 

had been arrested on suspicion of 

possessing an offensive weapon and 

was also released on bail as police 

continue their enquiries into the 

incident.

Claim dropped against 

North Yorkshire Police 

Two senior police officers have 

dropped lawsuits against North 

Yorkshire Police following an 

investigation into alleged corruption 

and money-laundering at Cleveland 

Police. 

Solicitors acting for former Cleveland 

Chief Constable Sean Price and his 

suspended deputy, Derek Bonnard, 

have confirmed that the legal action 

they launched against the North 

Yorkshire constabulary and two other 

police forces has been abandoned. 

In May last year, Mr Price and Mr 

Bonnard announced the 

commencement of legal action against 

Keith Bristow, director general of the 

National Crime Agency in his capacity 

as head of Operation Sacristy, following 

in investigation into alleged corrupt 

activities within Cleveland Police and 

the former Cleveland Police Authority. 

They also announced their intention 

to sue the county police forces of North 

Yorkshire, Warwickshire and West 

Yorkshire, whose officers and civilian 

staff provided support in the corruption 

investigation. 

Both Mr Bonnard and Mr Price had 

claimed that they had been unlawfully 

arrested and detained. They also 

claimed they had been the victim of 

trespass and had their human rights 

breached. 

But, on Friday, Rebian Solicitors in 

Leeds, acting for both Mr Price and Mr 

Bonnard, said that their claim for 

unlawful arrest and detention, as well 

as trespass and breach of human rights, 

had been withdrawn. 

A spokesman for Operation Sacristy 

said this week: "The civil claim has now 

been withdrawn. We intended to defend 

their civil action against us and would 

have demonstrated in court that their 

arrest, the searches and their interviews 

were necessary, lawful and 

proportionate." 

A claim against Mr Price and Mr 

Bonnard for the legal costs incurred in 

responding to their claim and for 

preparing to defend the legal action was 

now being considered, added the 

spokesman. 

Up to 10 people were arrested as part 

of the anti-corruption investigation. Mr 

Price was sacked for gross misconduct 

in relation to a separate incident. 

Among the others arrested were 

Councillor Dave McCluckie, the former 

chairman of Cleveland Police Authority, 

and the authority's ex-chief executive 

Joe McCarthy. 

Mr Price, Mr Bonnard and Cllr 

McCluckie have issued statements 

claiming they have done nothing 

wrong. They remain on police bail 

pending further enquiries.

Huge flock of new-born lambs 

keeping farmer on his toes 

One Selby farmer has his 

hands full of baby lambs at 

the moment as over 80 new 

arrivals have been born in 

just two weeks. 

Chris Middleton, of G 

Middleton and Son - based at 

Lund Farm at Gateforth - has 

welcomed over 80 new baby 

lambs recently, and is 

expecting 40 more in 

upcoming weeks. 

Chris works in partnership with his 84-year-old father Walter 

at the farm, and they are well-known as specialist early lamb 

producers in the Selby area. 

January is always hectic at the farm as most of the flock - 

consisting of 120 sheep - deliver during the first few weeks of the 

New Year. 

The flock is scanned every year, just like a woman, and Chris 

said they are expecting 20 sets of twins, 10 sets of triplets and 40 

single-born lambs to be born this month in total. 

So far 80 babies have arrived, and the first of the lambs was 

born on Wednesday, January 2, and arrivals have continued since 

then. 

Chris found a quick moment to speak to the Selby Post, as he 

was in the middle of 

delivering a set of 

twins on Tuesday 

afternoon, and said: 

"My life is currently 

on hold at the 

minute as I have to 

check the flock and 

the lambs every two 

hours. 

"I help some of the 

sheep deliver if there 

are any problems, 

but around 70 per 

Meeting needed 

to review grave 

issue 

Authorities are still hoping to catch 

the vandals who destroyed almost 

20 headstones in Kellington 

recently. 

Members of St Edmund's Church 

and residents in Kellington were left 

devastated after 19 headstones were 

pushed over and broken during two 

separate attacks on the graveyard. 

Vandals first struck sometime 

between 11.30am on New Year's Eve 

(when the church closed after the last 

service of 2012), and early on New 

Year's Day morning when the 

damage was spotted by walkers. 

The first 15 damaged headstones were 

discovered early on Tuesday, January 1, by Susan 

and Andrew Papworth, who own Kellington 

Manor Hotel, as they spotted the pushed over 

headstones whilst out walking. 

The following Monday (January 7), vandals 

struck again overnight and pushed over a further 

four headstones, bringing the total to 19. 

The Selby Post reported last week that local 

authorities were taking security measures to 

prevent further incidents happening and hopefully 

catch the vandals. 

cent of them will

my input. 

"This one I am 

currently helping is 

tricky, as it is twins 

but the sheep is 

struggling and 

sometimes the 

womb does not 

open enough for 

birth so we have to 

step in and help. 

"Some of the 

new-borns we keep 

separately from the 

flock as they need 

bottle-feeding three 

times a day, 

because their mothers can not produce enough milk." 

Unfortunately Chris has lost three lambs this month due to a 

new disease which is sweeping through the farming industry - 

Schmallenberg. 

Schmallenberg Virus is a new emerging livestock disease and 

has been associated with late abortion or birth defects in newborn 

cattle, sheep and goats. 

It is thought the disease was brought into the UK 

from infected midges blown across the Channel. 

Chris added: "We have been quite fortunate in 

terms of this disease, and to lose three lambs out of 

an expected 120 is manageable. 

"They say if you can not deal with a loss you are 

in the wrong business, fortunately as sad as it is, we 

can deal with it." 

Despite this disease leading to the loss of three 

new-borns at Lund Farm, all the other arrivals are 

happy and healthy, and are now jumping around in 

the yard with their mothers. 

Once all of the lambs have arrived, Chris is 

planning to invite children from local schools and 

churches to the farm to see the flock and their babies. 

Despite no further incidents happening and the 

offenders still being out there, security firms and 

police are still investigating the situation. 

Dave Batty, Director at Fox Security Northern 

UK Limited, is hoping that a meeting can be 

arranged between the authorities to move forward 

and prevent further incidents from happening. 

Dave explained how he feels a meeting with 

local councillors, police and members of the church 

would be the best way forward, so that the 

possibility of cameras can be discussed and Fox 

Security can then make a plan for the future.

‘We are like one 

big family...’ 

by Kim Law 

Barlow Primary School impressed Ofsted 

inspectors on a recent visit by showing rapid 

improvements in all areas. 

The school was described as 'Good' by inspectors, 

and received an 'Outstanding' judgement for the 

behaviour and safety of its pupils. 

Following an inspection on December 13, 2012, 

the school has now been judged as having a good 

overall effectiveness, which is an improvement on 

the last inspection when the school was judged as 

satisfactory. 

Improvements were visible to inspectors and are 

made clear in the inspection report which was 

released last week. 

The report states that the achievement of pupils 

has improved rapidly since the previous inspection 

and is good. 

The report reads: "Attainment is above average 

and pupils make good progress at all stages. Pupils 

work hard and enthusiastically and the school 

prepares them well for the future." 

The report also states that the quality of teaching 

has improved and is good. 

It reads: "Teachers have good subject knowledge 

and plan lessons that pupils enjoy. Teaching has a 

sharp focus on pupils progress." 

The leadership and management within the 

school was also described as good as inspectors 

reported that: "Leadership and management, 

including the governing body, have become much 

more thorough in checking on the quality of 

teaching since the previous inspection. 

"Astute staffing appointments have been made 

that are driving improvement strongly forward." 

Despite the high praise from officers in three of 

the key areas, it was the behaviour and safety of 

pupils at Barlow Primary which inspectors were 

most impressed with - as they judged this as 

outstanding. 

Within the report, it states: "Pupils enjoy school 

greatly and are exceptionally proud of it which is 

shown in their above average attendance. 

"Their behaviour is exemplary in lessons and 

around school and they have exceptionally positive 

attitudes to learning. 

"They feel very safe in school and pupils treat 

each other and the adults working with them with 

great respect." 

One pupil is quoted in the report saying: "We are 

like a big family, really. We fall out sometimes but 

Barlow headteacher John Donelly with some of 

his ʻoutstandingly well behavedʼ pupils. 

(17-01-46 EF) 

it doesn’t last long and we are all good friends 

again soon after." 

These comments relating to the outstanding 

behaviour and safety of pupils at the school 

particularly pleased the headteacher, Mr John 

Donnelly, who said he was thrilled with the recent 

report. 

Mr Donnelly said: "We are all really pleased with 

the outcome of our latest inspection as it reflects all 

of the hard work which has been put in by 

everybody involved with the school. 

"In particular, I am thrilled with the comments 

relating to the outstanding judgement of children's 

safety and behaviour as that is one of Barlow 

Primary's top priorities. 

"I was confident that we were going to do well in 

this inspection, as we have met all of Ofsted's 

requirements since the last inspection in February 

2010 and all our hard work was bound to pay off. 

"The inspection in December only lasted one 

day, as it was very sharp and short, and the 

children and staff were all excellent on the day, 

which made me even more confident. 

"Next time we are aiming for overall 

outstanding and I am more than satisfied that we 

can achieve that!" 

It seems the school was extremely close to 

getting top marks from inspectors this time 

around, as the recent report only picks out two 

reasons explaining why it is not yet an outstanding 

school 

The first one is 'the proportion of pupils making 

more than expected progress is not yet high 

enough to be outstanding'. 

One other point is mentioned, which seems to be 

holding Barlow Primary back from achieving the 

overall outstanding mark: "Leaders and managers, 

including the governing body, know what needs to 

be done to improve the school further. 

"However, planning for the future lacks some 

precision and is therefore not as effective as it 

might be. 

"To improve further, the school needs to sharpen 

plans for improving the school so that the impact 

of proposed actions can be judged more 

accurately."

New bid 

for drivers 

‘go slow’ 

PAGE TEN Thursday, January 17th, 2013 

Three properties targeted by burglars 

Following several calls for action by 

parish councils, a new bid to slow 

speeding Selby motorists down could be 

launched by the county council. 

Members of North Yorkshire County 

Council will meet next week to discuss 

the possibility of introducing new signs 

following calls by parish councils for 

action to tackle the issue of speeding 

drivers travelling through villages in the 

district. 

Temporary vehicle activated signs 

(VAS), are set to be implemented on 

roads in rural communities, where the 

parish council has raised residents fear 

of drivers speeding past their homes. 

The signs display the speed limit and 

alert speeding drivers when they are 

going too fast. 

They are set to be used not only at 

well-known accident blackspots with a 

record of speed related accidents, but 

also in areas with a high demand for 

temporary speeding signs. 

It is believed that two solar powered 

signs will be available for each of the 

seven districts in North Yorkshire, 

including Selby, at a cost of £2,500 each. 

North Yorkshire County Council's 

corporate director for business and 

environmental services, David Bowe, 

said: "Speeding traffic is a major concern 

for local communities in the county. 

"They will be used in one parish for a 

maximum of six weeks before returning 

to the community for three months on a 

rotational basis throughout the year. 

"The VAS will be suitable for 30 miles 

per hour and 40 mile per hour sites as 

the displayed speed limit reminder can 

easily be changed to suit." 

The issue will be discussed by 

members of North Yorkshire County 

Council's Ryedale Area Committee at its 

meeting next week. 

£500 booze 

haul from 

superstore 

A trolley of alcohol valuing over £500 

was stolen from Morrison's in Selby 

recently. 

A gentleman was seen with other men 

pushing a trolley full of alcohol out of 

the store on Market Cross, at around 

3pm on Wednesday, January 9. 

Police are now awaiting for CCTV 

footage from the store, but are urging 

anyone with any information to come 

forward and help them with their 

enquiries in the meantime. 

If you think you can help, contact 

police on 101, select option two and ask 

for PC Dean Turner.

Three attempted burglaries have taken 

place across the Selby district in the 

past week. 

The first home to be targeted by 

unsuccessful burglars was on Ivy Close 

in Carlton. 

The homeowners disturbed the 

offenders shortly before 3am on 

Thursday, January 10. 

A UPVC door lock was damaged 

Beer bottle thrower 

spared jail 

An Olympic spectator was who threw a beer bottle at 

Usain Bolt moments before he won gold will be 

spared jail. 

Ashley Gill-Webb, 34, hurled the projectile after 

aiming a tirade of foul-mouthed abuse at runners in 

the build-up to the 2012 Men's 100m final. 

He had managed to enter the Olympic Stadium 

simply by waving an expired ticket at officials. 

Security staff and enraged members of the Dutch 

Olympic team, including judo champion Edith Bosch, 

hauled Gill-Webb out of the stadium after the incident. 

When he was arrested, he insisted he was Scottish 

actor Alan Cumming, who has appeared in James 

Bond and X-Men films, and signed his police 

statement AJ Cumming. 

He claimed his bipolar disorder meant he could 

remember nothing of events last August 5, but he was 

convicted after a trial at Stratford Magistrates' Court. 

District Judge William Ashworth said CCTV 

evidence of him checking to see if he was being 

watched before throwing the Heineken bottle proved 

he knew what he was doing. 

He said: 'The video evidence in my view clearly 

shows Mr Gill-Webb checking to see if he is under 

observation before throwing the bottle. 

'I am sure he was making an effort to check if he was 

being watched. 

'He was acting rationally and wrongly, with the 

intention to cause harassment, alarm and distress to 

the competitors.' 

Gill-Webb will be sentenced on February 4, but the 

judge said the harshest sentence he would impose 

would be a community order. 

'I make that assurance because I am sure this case 

has been an extreme strain on Mr Gill-Webb's family,' 

he added. 

Two expert witnesses had previously disagreed 

over whether he had formed the intention to commit 

the offence. They accepted he was suffering a state of 

mania, which his defence said continued when he was 

interviewed by police the next day. 

during the incident, but no entry was 

gained to the property as the 

homeowners disturbed the offenders in 

action when they woke up and went 

downstairs to investigate. 

At around the same time, a property 

in The Chestnuts at Hensall was 

attacked. 

The occupants of the property were 

also disturbed at around 3am on 

Thursday, January 10, as they were 

woken up by loud noises. 

They found that the kitchen window 

frame had been damaged but no entry 

had been gained by the offenders. 

A couple of days later a property in 

Sherburn was also targeted by potential 

burglars who threw a large object 

through the double-glazed 

conservatory window. 

Gill-Webb had made his way into 

an exclusive area of the packed 

stadium on the night of the 100m 

final, where the Dutch Olympic 

squad were watching the race. 

Judo bronze medalist Ms Bosch, 

heard him yell 'I want you to lose, 

you are bad, you are an a**ehole' at 

Bolt in the lead up to the race. 

In a statement read to the court, 

she said she had seen him make a 

throwing motion just before a bottle 

landed on the track. 

Enraged by what she had seen, 

she confronted him as he tried to 

flee the scene and pushed him 

backwards to stop him leaving. 

'He moved to walk away but at 

that point I confronted him and 

said: 'dude, are you crazy?'', she 

said. 

'I was angry at what he had done, 

it was so disrespectful. I was 

flabbergasted.' 

Gill-Webb had managed to 

tricked his way through several layers security by 

brandishing an expired ticket, the court heard. 

'He was waving an old ticket in front of people to 

get past security', said prosecutor Neil King. 

'He thought he wanted to get into the Olympics and 

could by waving this ticket.' 

The key issue in the case was whether he intended 

to cause harassment, alarm and distress to those 

around him. 

Dr Richard Latham, a consultant psychiatrist called 

by the prosecution, said: 'He made the decision to go 

to the Olympic Park, he thought about it and made the 

decision to go there. 

'I don't think he was unable to form a intention, he 

was able to form the intention to do lots of purposeful 

things.' 

Bereaved man behaved 

badly after drinking spree 

A bereaved man has pleaded guilty to being 

drunk and disorderly after being caught being 

verbally abusive outside the Black-A-Moor 

Head pub in Finkle Street just before 

Christmas. 

David Backhouse, 29, who lives on Bellerby 

Road in Skellow, near Doncaster, admitted to the 

offence which happened at about 3.10am on 

Saturday, December 22. 

Police officers had been called to the pub after 

the landlord had reported a disturbance 

involving several other people, when Mr 

Backhouse was described as 'being difficult' 

after he was told he could not re-enter the pub 

and was told to go home. 

When Mr Backhouse was told he was not allowed 

back inside he said: "I pay my taxes, this is a disgrace," 

and told the police officers that they "were clearly 

bullied at school" and shortly after was arrested. 

Speaking at Selby Magistrates' Court on Thursday, 

January 10, Mr Backhouse said: "All of what has been 

said about the incident today is new to me. 

Unfortunately I was drunk and very upset after my 

friend was killed three weeks ago. I apologise to the 

court and the police for all the time wasted." 

Chairing Magistrate, Hillary Gilbertson, said: "This 

sort of behaviour is totally unacceptable when people 

are out in public trying to have fun." 

Mr Backhouse was fined £150, and ordered to pay 

£20 victim surcharge and £85 in court costs. 

The incident occurred sometime 

between 3pm on Saturday, January 12 

and 1.30am on Sunday, January 13, at a 

house on Eversley Court in Sherburn In 

Elmet. 

Anyone who saw anything 

suspicious in these areas at the times 

mentioned should contact North 

Yorkshire Police immediately on 101 or 

Crimestoppers on 080 555 111. 

But Dr Robert Adams, who cared for Gill-Webb in 

hospital after he was sectioned, said he did not know 

what he was doing. 

'He was caught up in the occasion at the time, he 

wasn't thinking about the consequences of his actions', 

he said. 

'He wanted to enter the Olympic Stadium, and he 

did it. He had the urge to enjoy himself and wanted to 

enter the Olympic Stadium and he didn't think of the 

consequences of that.' 

Rhiannon Crimmins, defending Gill-Webb said he 

acted on 'urges' and did not intend to cause alarm and 

distress. 

Gill-Webb of Cornmill Court, South Milford, North 

Yorks, found guilty of using threatening or abusive 

words or behaviour or disorderly behaviour with 

intent to cause harassment, alarm or distress. 

Tesco remove 

burgers in ‘horse 

meat’ scandal 

Tesco's Selby branch has removed all its own-brand value 

burgers from its shelves following the horse-meat scare 

that has affected stores nationwide. 

The move follows the discovery of horse meat in the 

supermarket chain's 'every-day value' burgers supplied by 

Silvercrest Foods in Ireland. 

Burgers containing horse meat were discovered at 

branches in Ireland, but all stores throughout the UK have 

removed Tesco own-brand burgers as a precaution. 

A Tesco spokeswoman said yesterday (Wednesday): "All 

frozen products provided by Silvercrest have been 

removed from all Tesco stores including the branch in 

Selby. We apologise for any distress."

Land owner’s 

More delays to work 

gold award 

honour for 

outstanding 

achievement 

A local landowner has won a top 

agricultural award from the Royal 

Agricultural Society of England (RASE). 

Charles Forbes Adam, owner of the 

Escrick Park Estate, was awarded 

RASE's Bledisloe Gold Medal for 

Landowners for his "outstanding" 

achievements in land management. 

Mr Forbes Adam, who is also 

chairman of the Yorkshire branch of the 

Country Land and Business Association, 

runs an estate which includes many 

acres of beautiful parkland, as well as 

offices, commercial lets, holiday cabins, 

wedding facilities, an equestrian crosscountry 

course and a nationallyrecognised 

nature reserve. 

Before deciding on the award winner, 

judges visited Escrick Park and were 

particularly impressed by the way Mr 

Forbes Adam had managed to run a 

thriving and diverse commercial venture 

while enhancing the natural 

environment on the 8,000-acre estate. 

Over the past 20 years new planting 

on the estate has resulted in more than 

18km of new hedges, and 12 ponds have 

been created or restored. 

In addition, about 90 hectares of 

habitats for wildlife have been created 

on arable land. 

Work has also started on the new 

Three Hagges Jubilee Wood - the largest 

area of new woodland in the district. 

The wood will comprise a rich 

tapestry of flora and fauna including a 

number of tree species such as alder, 

hazel, oak and birch. 

Covering over nine hectares of former 

arable land, Three Hagges will recreate 

ancient woodland, incorporating 

wildflower glades, meandering paths 

and dozens of species of native 

wildflowers and fine grasses.

at £1.8m junction 

The roundabout development prepared for one of 

the Selby district's busiest junctions has been 

delayed for a third time. 

Plans to build a new roundabout on the A63 and 

A19 junction close to Barlby and Osgodby, were 

expected to start last week but have been delayed until 

next month as the tenders for the work have only just 

been returned. 

The £1.8 million project, includes a three-lane, 70 

metre roundabout which will be built at the junction, 

with two lanes filtering from the A63 and three lanes 

coming in form the A19 in both directions (pictured). 

The project is designed to slow down motorists and 

improve road safety, and work is now expected to 

begin in February and run well into the summer. 

North Yorkshire County Council released a 

statement earlier this week saying: “It was originally 

hoped, last year, that we would be in a position to start 

the work on Monday, January 7, 2013. 

A cancer survivor and well-known fundraiser is 

appealing to hairdressers in Selby to help him raise 

money for charity by dying his hair and beard pink. 

Danny Harris has organised charity nights at Selby 

Railway Club for nearly ten years and has raised almost 

£10,000 in the past four years alone for various Yorkshire 

based charities. 

This year, 52-year-old Danny and his friend Paddy 

Boocock (39) are hoping to dye their hair and beards pink 

to raise money for cancer, before shaving them off in April. 

The hairy pair have been growing their facial and head 

hair since November 2012, and are now asking local 

hairdressers to get involved by donating a small amount of 

time and pink hair dye. 

Danny said: "This idea first came about on a drunken 

night out at the Railway Club, where me and Paddy are 

both committee members, as I suggested it and he said yes! 

"We are both hoping to dye our facial hair and head hair 

pink on Friday, February 15, if a hairdresser is willing to 

help us out. 

"We just want someone to donate a bit of pink dye and a 

short amount of their time so me and Paddy can nip down 

to the salon and become pretty in pink!" 

The pair - who both previously had bald heads and were 

clean shaven - would then keep their pink hairstyles before 

shaving them off later in April. 

Danny added: "We have our sponsor forms ready and 

people have said they will donate when they see us in the 

pink, so I really hope a local hairdresser is willing to help us. 

"All of the money raised through sponsorship will go to the Cancer Care Centre 

at York District Hospital which is close to my heart as I had cancer myself last 

year. 

"Luckily it was benign (mild and none progressive), and I had the tumor 

removed in October 2012 and have been given the all clear for now, despite 

having to go back next month to check it has not returned. 

"But others are not as lucky and me and Paddy both want to help people who 

are suffering from Cancer in the area, by raising what we can for the centre in 

York, who have helped me out a lot in the past year." 

Any hairdressers who are willing to dye Danny and Paddy's hair and beards 

pink free of charge, should contact them by emailing 

danny@selbyrailwayclub.com. 

"However, the legal process surrounding land 

acquisition proved to be much more complex than 

anticipated, with the result that the tenders for the 

work have only just been returned. 

"The pre-works on the contract will now begin on 

Monday, February 4, and we expect to be on site for 

the beginning of the main contract on February 18. 

The contract is scheduled for completion within 22 

weeks.” 

This unforeseen delay means that the contract has 

not yet been awarded but when it is, the Highways 

Agency say work will start as soon as possible and 

explained how the contract is strict so that the 

development is completed with the time-scale. 

Richard Marr, Area Highways manager for Selby, 

said: "We are just waiting to open the tenders. 

"There was a delay in the legal process surrounding 

the land acquisition as the land is not actually owned 

by us. 

"Once we find out who is going to be in charge of 

this project we can set out some definite dates and get 

things started. 

"The work will not be starting this month as 

originally planned, but will begin next month, and 

when it does contractors will be under tight schedules 

to keep up to date with the development time scale." 

During construction time, traffic will be diverted 

and there may be long delays for motorists travelling 

in the area. 

The development was originally expected to start in 

October 2012, but was pushed back twice before 

Christmas last year and this is the third time delays 

have been announced. 

When work begins, a 10 week closure of both 

roads will kick-start the development, followed by 

the roads being open and controlled with traffic 

lights for the remaining 14 weeks, until the 

roundabout is complete. 

‘Can any hairdressers put 

us in the pink for charity?’ 

by Kim Law 

SITTING PRETTY - IN PINK!: Danny (right) and Paddy are looking for a kind-hearted 

hairdresser to help them in their bid to think pink. (17-01-61 SU) 

Alongside this, Danny's annual charity night at the Railway club will take place 

this year on Wednesday, April 24, where six social club singers will perform as 

well as a comedy compare. 

There will also be a raffle and game of bingo, and Danny is hoping this year's 

charity event will be as successful as the others. 

He added: "My first ever charity night over nine years ago raised £1,400 for 

Macmillan Cancer Care and I hope I can raise a significant amount of money for 

the Cancer Care Centre through mine and Paddy's hairy efforts and the charity 

night itself. 

"We do not charge for tickets, but ask for a minimum donation of £1 for entry 

to the charity night." 

Danny's charity event in 2011 raised £647 for Martin House Children's Hospice 

and in the past four years alone the events have raised a total of £9,489 for various 

local charities. 

If any one would like to sponsor the pair or donate to the charity they can do so by visiting their online just giving page at: http://www.justgiving.com/pad-dan.

Flood bank face- 

off at council 

Members of the Snaith and Cowick 

Internal Drainage Board and the 

Environment Agency staged a 'face-off' 

over future repairs to the Aire's 

riverbank at Monday night's Snaith 

Town Council meeting. 

Eight members of the IDB questioned 

two guest speakers from the agency 

(EA), but appeared unhappy with the 

answers they received. 

The EA stood by its previous position, 

confirming it would not be receiving 

government funding in future to repair 

the front banks of the river in places 

where back banks existed. 

This means that when the front banks 

breach, the farmland immediately 

behind will be lost to farming, and there 

will be no compensation. 

The town council has asked to be made 

a special case because in the Snaith and 

Cowick portion of the River Aire there are 

no back banks - although the EA insists 

the railway line will act as a back bank. 

Town councillor Graham Hulme is not 

convinced. He says the railway 

embankment is porous, full of rabbit 

holes and has failed to stop floodwater in 

the past. 

As a result the town council wants the 

EA to spend extra money and effort 

maintaining the front bank in its area. 

The IDB protested that upstream, in 

the Leeds area, people next to the River 

Aire were getting a better deal - and that 

even as close as Gowdall the EA was to 

continue spending money on repair 

work aimed at protecting recently-built 

properties. 

They asked why the riverbanks at 

Snaith and Cowick - particularly the 

stretch towards Rawcliffe - were not to be 

kept to the same standard.

by Andrew Warner 

The EA insisted that no-one on the 

Aire was getting a better deal than 

anyone else. It said it had opposed new 

building on flood plains, but often local 

councils did not heed its advice. 

But while such homes built now were 

unlikely to gain extra protection from the 

EA in the future, those homes built in the 

recent past would. 

The EA also ruled out suggestions 

from the IDB members that if they took 

on the responsibility for the upkeep of 

the local riverbank they could do a better 

job. 

The EA's John Coates and Malcolm 

Muscroft said the IDB had no more 

chance of gaining funding from the 

government to do the work than they 

did. 

And they said that even if the IDB did 

take on the responsibility that would not 

mean they could do as they liked - such 

as lower the riverbank on one side so 

that floodwater would spill away from 

Snaith and Cowick - even if they did find 

the money to fund such a project. 

Monday's meeting had begun with the 

IDB's chairman Paul Cooper voicing 

concerns for the current state of the 

riverbank. 

The EA confirmed that its engineers 

had begun a full investigation of the 

banks, and that consultants had been 

employed to come up with flood 

protection schemes if repairs were found 

to be necessary - for which it was 

confident it would get the funding. 

"Once the funding is approved, we are 

expecting to start any repair work in 

2014," said Mr Coates. 

Town councillor Graham Hulme 

questioned whether the banks would last 

the one or two years it would take before 

EA started the repairs, considering the 

current condition of known problem 

areas between Snaith and Rawcliffe. He 

said three current leaks had already been 

identified by the town council. 

Town councillor John Staveley- 

Churton, who walks the banks regularly, 

said the current leakage did not appear 

to be coming through the banks, but up 

into neighbouring land from beneath 

them. 

He asked the EA if it had considered 

the use of groins to stop riverbank 

erosion, as this had been done in other 

parts of the country. 

Mr Coates assured the meeting the EA 

had men out looking at the state of the 

banks after every high tide. 

The IDB's Mr Cooper and the town 

council asked the EA to make available 

copies of its surveys of the riverbanks "so 

that we know where we stand". The EA 

agreed, but warned it would be 12 to 18 

months before all the surveys were 

complete. 

Mr Cooper asked what the EA was 

doing about the latest slip, in which a 

large lump of soil had collapsed into the 

middle of the river. He said this was now 

holding up the flow of the water, which 

could spark future flooding problems. 

The EA said it would take action if it 

decided this slip was indeed obstructing 

the river, but Mr Coates clearly ruled out 

the use of dredging. 

The IDB asked if the EA would take 

out riverside willows if they were having 

a similar adverse effect. The IDB pointed 

out that there were no willows causing 

problems upstream near Leeds, yet the 

EA was telling them that all sections of 

the river were being maintained to the 

same standard. 

Parents primary 

parking problems 

Extra double yellow lines at the main road end of Snaith's 

Bourn Mill Balk Road will not solve the problems caused by 

parents parking outside the town's primary school to pick up 

their children. 

That is the opinion of East Riding Council, which in a letter 

rejected the idea that had been put forward by Snaith and 

Cowick's town councillors. 

It suggested that no matter what kind of yellow lines they 

were, they would not be capable of stopping people from 

dropping off or picking up - and that the ERYC would not be 

able to use them to enforce any parking restrictions. 

Town councillor Steve Jones suggested the use of roadside 

pedestrian barriers to stop children running out into the street, 

but which would also prevent parked cars from opening their 

doors. 

Town councillor John Staveley-Churton said in other places 

schools employed someone to stand outside and move cars on. 

But Mayor Greta Laughton said the primary school's head had 

herself tried going out to speak to the drivers of the cars and 

they had taken no notice of her. 

Town councillor Malcolm Nicholls said Snaith 

Primary School should adopt a solution similar to 

the drive-in layby built outside Cowick Primary 

School. 

It was agreed the town council's clerk should write to ERYC 

asking for someone to come to Snaith to see the situation 

outside the school for themselves.

‘Ideal’ land would 

be the first to flood 

Two portions of land in Snaith, which 

are being suggested as "ideal" for future 

development, would be "the first place 

in the town to flood" if the bank of the 

River Aire was ever breached. 

Snaith town councillors agreed at their 

meeting on Monday to write back to East 

Riding Council after ERYC sent them a 

copy of its updated draft development 

plan - which still included the two plots 

in question. 

Town councillor Graham Hulme 

asked the town clerk if she thought 

Snaith town councillors are to carry out 

a check on the town's existing weight 

limit road signs before making a fresh 

plea to East Riding Council for more 

protection from heavy lorry traffic. 

The subject of weight limit signs first 

came up when concern was voiced 

previously about lorries entering the 

town from the north (Carlton). Now 

councillors are to check the east and west 

entrances to Snaith to gauge the state of 

the signage. 

ERYC had ever received the concerns 

they had voiced previously during its 

consultation period, because it appeared 

to have taken no heed of their warnings. 

The town council had written to 

ERYC's planners totally rejecting the 

proposed use of land in Gowdall Lane 

and George Street for future building 

because of the threat of flooding due to 

them being on a flood plain. 

It was agreed to pursue ERYC to find 

out if it ever received the town council's 

comments. 

Weight limit check-up 

Weight limit signs can only be sited at 

points on the road where it is possible for 

lorry drivers to turn their vehicles around, 

it was noted at Monday's council meeting. 

And in the case of the east entrance, 

this could mean having to place signs as 

far away from the town as the A614/ 

A1041 mini roundabout in order to make 

sure lorries from Thorne and the M18 

continue on through Rawcliffe and not 

through Snaith if they are heading north 

to Camblesforth and Selby.

Graffiti goes in Snaith picnic area spruce-up 

The new picnic area in Snaith has been revamped 

after graffiti covered struts 

underneath Carlton bridge have been 

repainted with special anti-graffiti paint, 

thanks to East Riding of Yorkshire Councillor 

John Barrett. 

The plan to turn the area down Ferry Lane in 

Snaith into a picnic area was made in October 

2010 as a result of the Snaith and Cowick 

Community plan survey when residents made 

it clear it was something the village wanted. 

The Snaith and Cowick Together group 

formed a further community and leisure group 

to deal with the project. 

The community and leisure group have 

since managed to get four picnic tables installed 

and with the help of the East Riding Council, 

land was cleared and there is now a wild flower 

area at the site and at the request of John 

Barrett, a new brown picnic sign has also been 

installed. 

However the struts underneath the bridge 

were covered in graffiti and the Snaith and 

Cowick Together group, along with Cllr 

Barrett, worked together to set about removing 

the street art. 

Cllr Barrett discovered that the bridge struts 

on the Snaith side of Carlton bridge at Ferry 

Lane belonged to the North Yorkshire County 

Council and entered into negotiations with 

them, whilst liaising with the community 

groups. 

Following negotiations it was decided that 

the struts should be painted with a special antigraffiti 

paint, which is quite expensive. 

Cllr Barrett put in £500 of his former Snaith 

and Cowick Town Mayor's Charity fund and 

North Yorkshire County Council agreed to pay

which allows staff to travel

Turkey, and Pádraig Regan, 

from Ireland, have been at the 

primary school since 

Wednesday. They have been 

involved in a number of 

different things, including 

planning activities. 

Secil explains the activities 

for the children are varied. "Our ideas include 

movie making and cartoons. We also have 

mentioned pantomimes and performances." 

Pádraig has a companion, Siobhan the Sheep. He 

jokes about the workload, but the weather isn't a 

surprise. "They've been working us really hard.

weather anyway, it's always cold in Ireland."

for the remainder. 

Snaith and Cowick together chose the paint 

colour and the whole job was completed just 

before Christmas. 

Cllr Barrett said: "I am so pleased North 

Yorkshire Council came on board with this 

project. The Snaith and Cowick together group 

worked hard on this and I am pleased I was 

able to help. All in all there are a lot of people to 

thank for this project, including East Riding 

and North Yorkshire councils, Snaith and 

Cowick Town Council and Murphies, the 

private firm who supplied the picnic tables. The 

bad weather has made a bit of a mess of the 

wild flower garden, but the East Riding of 

Yorkshire Council has agreed to sort that out in 

the spring. All in all this is looking great for 

residents and visitors and ties in with the 

tourism theme in our area." (10-01-76 SU) 

Fir-ious row over tree disposal 

The future use of small fir trees on the outside of 

buildings in the centre of Snaith to decorate the town for 

Christmas is in question after a row over how these trees 

should be disposed of following the festive period. 

This year, for the first time, the private company 

Snaith and Cowick Town Council pays to take 

down the trees and dispose of them was refused 

permission to dump them at the tip run by East 

Riding of Yorkshire Council. 

At the town council's meeting on Monday it was 

reported that staff at the tip had said they could not 

accept the trees because they had been part of a 

commercial enterprise. A further inquiry direct to 

ERYC only saw that decision upheld.

The fact that the trees had been bought by the 

town council using money raised through the 

council tax did not seem to defuse the problem. 

This Christmas the town council bought 22 small 

trees which were suspended from town centre 

buildings and shopfronts using brackets. 

Snaith Town Clerk Vicky Whiteley said it was the 

town council's opinion that they were "classy, and 

made the town look nice". 

She said that despite the row, ERYC had now sent 

staff to Snaith to pick up the trees - although it was 

not known how they were being disposed of. 

The town council agreed to investigate the matter further 

in a bid to decide what should be done next Christmas.

Selby Historical book reveals names of road 

school 

funding 

talks at 

highest 

level 

Selby MP Nigel Adams has been in 

discussions with Education Secretary 

Michael Gove on the thorny issue of 

school funding in the Selby and North 

Yorkshire area. 

The Tory MP had a meeting with the 

Government minister at Westminster 

recently to discuss the challenges facing 

the county's spending on education. 

North Yorkshire County Council, the 

local education authority, is concerned 

that changes to the funding formula will 

mean increased budget pressure on some 

of the area's schools. 

Although the changes will lead to an 

increased budget for two-thirds of the 

schools in Selby, others may receive less 

funding. 

Mr Adams wants to see more 

flexibility within the school funding 

formula to ensure that none of the 

schools in his constituency is adversely 

affected by the changes. 

Mr Adams said: "I met with the 

education secretary to make the case for 

greater flexibility in the funding formula 

for North Yorkshire schools. 

"It's not a case of more money: it's 

about flexibility in how to allocate it. 

Money is not being cut from the budget 

overall in North Yorkshire; it's just that 

there are potentially winners and losers 

and I don't want to see any losers in my 

area." 

He added: "It was a very positive 

meeting and Michael Gove was 

sympathetic to our concern and has 

committed his ministers to taking 

another look at this issue. 

"He will be reporting back with his 

views soon and has a visit to North 

Yorkshire scheduled for the coming 

months." 

Mr Gove said: "Nigel Adams and 

other North Yorkshire MPs made it clear 

to me that we need to look closely at 

school funding to ensure that it is fair 

and simple. 

"I know how hard he fights for all 

state schools in his constituency and the 

level of public concern North Yorkshire 

MPs have brought to my attention needs 

dealing with properly and promptly. 

"I will be reporting back shortly and I 

know that the North Yorkshire MP team 

will continue to campaign for this issue 

to be addressed." 

As reported by the Selby Post in 

recent editions, as things stand there will 

be winners and losers in the great 

funding lottery. 

Selby High School is set to receive 

£417,637 extra in funding for the next 

academic year, and Barlby High School 

will also receive an additional £111,764. 

But Brayton High will receive £107,851 

less than the current academic year. 

Some primary schools in the district are 

also expected to lose out due to the 

proposed changes. 

workers from 1923 Scott Road project 

by Nick Towle 

When Selby's Scott Road was built 90 

years ago King George V was still on 

the throne and England was only just 

starting to emerge from the haze of the 

First World War. 

But, despite the passage of that notinconsiderable 

time, the names of the 

men who built the town-centre 

thoroughfare live on in a battered old 

foreman's book. 

The tiny black book belongs to Ron 

Calvert (77), a collector of memorabilia 

who bought the item at auction many 

years ago. 

Having collected hundreds of little 

curiosities down the years, Mr Calvert 

stashed the book away with all his other 

collectibles and forgot all about it. 

But recently, while looking through his massive 

collection of memorabilia, he came across the book 

again and decided to get in touch with the Selby 

Post in the hope that the names of the men who 

built Scott Road would be remembered in the 90thanniversary 

year. 

The book lists the names of all 38 men who 

worked on the construction project for six weeks 

between April 9 and June 30, 1923. 

The book, entitled 'Scott Road Scheme 1923', 

belonged to the foreman J.Thompson, who also 

kept a record of the hours the men worked. 

Mr Calvert, from Selby, does not know the full 

name of the foreman or which firm carried out the 

work. 

But it is likely that Mr Thompson lived in Selby 

because Mr Calvert bought the book at the old 

house-clearance auctions at Richardson's Yard on 

Flaxley Road. 

In those days, the relatives of people who had 

died used to take the deceased's items to the yard 

for them to be sold at auction under the auspices of 

Bailey & Haigh Solicitors. 

Mr Calvert believes that the family of the 

aforementioned foreman must have took the book 

to the yard as part of a package of items belonging 

to Mr Thompson. 

He says that over 75 per cent of the men on the 

list of names were from the Selby area. 

Barlby High 

School held its 

first ever Careers 

Fayre this week 

and despite the 

poor weather 

conditions the 

event was well 

attended. 

The careers 

evening was well 

represented with 

18 different 

employers, 

colleges and 

training providers 

attending. 

Around 100 

students turned up on the evening of Tuesday, 

January 15, to speak to representatives from local 

companies and discuss their options for when they 

leave school. 

Representatives from Selby Training Centre, 

Brightstart Day Nursery, Doosan Babcock, Selby 

College, The Parsonage Hotel, York St John 

Ambulance, York College, Drax Power Station, NHS 

York and Bishop Burton College, were just some of 

those who got involved in the careers fayre. 

Students from Year 10 and 11 attended, along 

with parents and carers to gather information, 

advice and guidance on what choices are available 

to them as they prepare to leave the school. 

Mrs Summers, Associate Assistant Headteacher 

at Barlby High, said: “This year is a time of 

Local historian Ron Calvert pictured with the historical 

book, (17-01-48/49 EF) and Scott Road as it looks today. 

"Most of them are old Selby people," said Mr 

Calvert. "I looked back at the Selby (telephone) 

directories between 1930 and 1934 and found 

where some of them lived." 

One of the workmen mentioned in the book is a 

J.Calvert, thought to be the uncle of the book's new 

owner. 

"I think it's my uncle Jack Calvert who lived in 

Haig Street," said the Selby pensioner. 

The foreman's book covers three months of 

work from beginning to end, but Mr Calvert says 

he finds it hard to believe that the project was 

completed in such a short period of time. 

During the construction project the workmen 

had to build a concrete bridge over Selby Dam so 

that the road could pass through the site of what is 

now Abbey Leisure Centre. 

"The book records every hour that the men 

worked," added Mr Calvert. "They worked eightand-a-half 

hours a day from Monday to Friday and 

four-and-a-half hours on a Saturday, so each man 

averaged 74 hours a week. However, there is no 

indication in the book as to what their wages 

were." 

The road was named after local businessman 

and former chairman of Selby Urban Council Mark 

Scott, who still has relatives that live in Selby to this 

day. Mr Scott owned a mill on the banks of the 

Holmes side of the river Ouse, the site is now

before to be in education,

"In today’s challenging work environment, 

students need to equip themselves with the right

throughout their future. 

"As a school, we would like to thank all the 

employers, colleges and training providers for

Wind farm plan unanimously refused 

Plans for a new wind farm near Selby have been rejected by district 

planners. 

The proposed Bishopwood Wind Farm was turned down by Selby 

District Council's Planning Committee last week following nearly four 

years of bitter opposition between the pro and anti-wind farm lobbies. 

Prowind, the renewable-energy firm, had asked the council for 

permission to install seven turbines, each with a height of 125 metres, on 

land at Scalm Park. 

The application was met with strong local opposition from residents, 

anti-wind farm protestors and Selby MP Nigel Adams, who were 

concerned about the impact the turbines would have on the local 

environment and the adjacent leisure and caravan park. 

Prowind had initially submitted an incomplete planning application 

for Bishopwood in 2009. 

Positive change in 

policing leads to 

drop in child arrests 

New figures have 

revealed a 

significant drop in 

the amount of 

children arrested 

by North 

Yorkshire Police in 

2011. 

Following a 

Freedom of 

Information 

request submitted 

by The Howard 

League for Penal 

Reform, the oldest 

penal reform 

charity in the UK, 

figures for the 

police force show 

a decrease of 

around 500 in the 

amount of child 

arrests when 

compared to the 

previous year. 

In North 

Yorkshire, officers made 2,953 arrests of 

boys and girls who were aged 17 and 

under during 2011, which shows a clear 

drop when compared with the 3,489 

child arrests in 2010. 

This is the third consecutive year that 

figures have fallen, as North Yorkshire 

Police made 4,816 arrests in 2008, and 

4,170 in 2009. 

Temporary Chief Constable Tim 

Madgwick, of North Yorkshire Police, 

said: “Following a review of the data, I 

can confirm the number of juveniles 

arrested by North Yorkshire Police in 

2011 was 2,953. 

“This is in line with the year-on-year 

national trend of decreasing numbers of 

under 18s who are placed under arrest.” 

North Yorkshire Police follows 

national guidance when dealing with 

juveniles linked to crime and anti-social 

behaviour. 

Mr Madgwick added: "If it is 

necessary to arrest a juvenile who is 

suspected of committing an offence, we 

make every effort to achieve the most 

positive outcome for both the victim and 

offender. 

“This approach includes actively 

engaging with the young person and 

their family and working with partners 

within the criminal justice system and 

other agencies. 

“The aim is to divert them away from 

a life of crime and the misery that goes 

with it, and become responsible 

members of society." 

Frances Crook, Chief Executive of the 

Howard League for Penal Reform, said: 

“Children who get into trouble are more 

often than not just being challenging 

teenagers and how we respond to this 

nuisance behaviour could make a 

difference for the rest of their lives. 

"An arrest can blight a life and lead to 

a criminal record for just being naughty. 

The positive change in policing children 

will release resources to deal with real 

crimes. 

“Only a handful of children are 

involved in more serious incidents and 

they usually suffer from neglect, abuse 

or mental health issues. 

"A commitment to public safety 

means treating them as vulnerable 

children and making sure they get the 

help they need to mature into lawabiding 

citizens. 

“Under the last government, police 

success was measured by the number of 

arrests and children proved a seductive 

way to make up the numbers. 

"The fact that the number of child 

arrests across England and Wales has 

fallen by a third since 2008 is a 

testament to a change of culture, more 

focused on public safety than targets.” 

More than one million child arrests 

have been made in England and Wales 

since 2008, but the figures show a 

downward trend overall each year. 

The Howard League for Penal Reform 

is a national charity working for less 

crime, safer communities and fewer 

people in prison and has been 

campaigning for a reduction in child 

arrests. 

And last week the Planning Committee ruled that the firm's new bid 

had failed to provide sufficient details on the "cumulative impact of the 

development when taken with other development in the area". 

The other reason given for refusing the bid was the potential for high 

noise levels affecting Scalm Park. 

In reaching their unanimous decision, committee members also took 

into consideration the potential loss of "residential amenity" at a home 

which was only 575 metres away from the proposed development site. 

Current national guidelines state that wind turbines should be at least 

1km away from the nearest home. 

Mr Adams, who sent a formal objection about the proposal to the 

district council, said this week: "I'm very pleased that this development 

was unanimously refused by councillors. 

"The residents I visited would have been adversely affected by this

particular development, which would have dominated the landscape 

and had a huge, long-term detrimental effect on the west side of Selby. 

"Onshore wind farms are inefficient and don't produce adequate 

electricity. I wholeheartedly agree with my colleague, the Conservative 

energy minister John Hayes, when he says that 'enough is enough'." 

Bishopwood was one of a number of proposed wind farms in the 

wider Selby district which had been subject to strong local opposition 

campaigns. 

Mr Adams said he would "robustly oppose" any new wind-farm 

applications in the Selby area. 

"That includes any large-scale, onshore wind-farm application," he

The Selby Post has teamed up with the local 

Citizens' Advice Bureau (CAB) to present the next 

instalment of a new feature intended to give our 

readers advice and guidance on a host of legal, 

financial and other issues that can affect their 

everyday lives. 

In these tough economic times, more and more 

people are turning to the CAB and its army of 

dedicated volunteers for advice and support on a 

raft of issues - from housing to benefits claims and 

debt management. 

Each week the Selby Post presents our readers 

with some of the questions asked by members of 

the public at the Selby CAB branch. 

Today's troubleshooting column looks at the laws designed to 

safeguard prospective car-buyers from dodgy dealers. 

It includes a number of tips on how people can prevent 

themselves getting ripped off by unscrupulous second-handcar 

dealers looking to make a profit from vehicles that are not 

up to the mark. 

The question blow was one that was actually put to a 

volunteer at Selby Citizens Advice Bureau recently... 

QUESTION: I'm hoping to buy a second-hand car but I've 

heard so many horror stories about dodgy dealers. How 

can I avoid being ripped off? 

ANSWER: You're right to be wary. Problems with used cars 

bought from dealers top the list of consumer complaints 

brought to the CAB. We have a number of top tips you can 

follow to avoid being ripped off. 

q For a start, you should know what you want and get a feel 

for how much it should cost: check second-hand-car prices in 

your local press and used-car values online. Find a reliable 

dealer: look for an established firm with a good reputation 

which belongs to a trade association and comes 

recommended. 

q Look over the car's condition: check every aspect of the car, 

from the paintwork to headlights, tyres to seatbelts. 

Check the mileage - average mileage is around 10,000 per 

year. If it's much higher it could mean problems; much lower 

could mean it's been tampered with. 

q Investigate the car's history: check through the DVLA, do a 

private history check and an MOT check. 

q Take it for a test drive: check the brakes (including 

handbrake), steering and gears. Listen for banging or rattling 

and any unusual engine sounds, and be alert for a strong 

smell of petrol or oil - these can all indicate potential problems. 

q Be wary of specific buying terms, namely signs such as 

'sold as seen' or 'no refund', as these are illegally trying to limit 

your rights. 

q Make sure you fully understand the conditions of the sale – 

including trade-in price and any finance agreement terms and 

charges - before sealing the deal. 

q Use your consumer rights: when you buy a car from a 

dealer, the car must be of satisfactory quality, fit for purpose 

and match its description, otherwise you have a right to a 

repair, replacement or refund. 

The CAB is situated at the back of 4 Park Street, Selby. 

Marathon 

St Leonard’s Hospice is to be one of the beneficiaries of the 

first ever Yorkshire Marathon and the charity is urging 

runners to raise funds for its work. 

The Hospice is one of the partner charities for the 

Marathon, which will take runners though the streets of York 

in October and into the countryside of Yorkshire to the east. 

Over 5,000 places have been announced for the event and 

as many as 4,000 have already been snapped up, so St 

Leonard’s is urging everyone who wants a place to sign up 

now – and support the Hospice as they do so. 

The symbol of the Marathon is the letter Y – and Emma 

Johnson, Director of Clinical Services at St Leonard's Hospice 

said: "Why don't you join? You can sign up and take part for 

St Leonard's Hospice by visiting the website 

www.theyorkshiremarathon.com. But hurry, as places are 

going quickly." 

The new marathon in Yorkshire, will take place on October 

20, and has been organised by the family of charity Jane 

Tomlinson, who raised more than £1.5 million before she died 

from cancer in 2007.

legacy to Jane. 

Runners will start and finish at the University of York, and 

will pass through villages in North Yorkshire and the East 

riding when doing so. 

A large number of places have already been filled, and any 

runners who wish to take part are being urged to act fast, and 

support the Hospice. 

St Leonard's Hospice - which serves Selby, York and a wide 

surrounding area - cares for local people with life-threatening 

illnesses and their families. 

It never makes a charge for its care, and needs to raise the 

bulk of its £3.5 million annual running costs from the local 

community.

The first of many family 

fun time events at Selby 

Abbey was attended by 

almost 30 families last 

weekend. 

The new event will run 

on the second Sunday 

afternoon of every month, 

with a different theme for 

families to look into each 

time. 

On Sunday, January 13, 

the new event started with 

a focus on the visit of the 

three wise men to baby 

Jesus. 

As part of the 'Messy 

Church' initiative, the 

family fun time events are 

aimed at families with 

young children to find 

creative ways to worship 

their faith. 

This includes using arts 

and crafts, songs and music 

and stories and games to

upcoming months will vary and 

he was pleased with the 

attendance at the new event. 

He said: "This is something we 

have just 

started and 

it was great 

to see 29

all ages, 


from toddlers to teens, getting 

involved in the activities looking 

at the visit of the three wise men. 

"All of the children were 

accompanied by parents and 

grandparents and everyone 

seemed to enjoy themselves. 

"As the families left the Abbey, 

we received many positive 

comments and a lot of the parents 

said they were looking forward to 

attending the next family fun 

time." 

The next creative family fun 

time event will take place on the 

afternoon of Sunday, February 10.

Farmers facing 

toughest winter 

by Kim Law 

Farmers in the Selby district are facing a 

tough year after the damage recent 

flooding has caused to their land and 

production. 

Acres of farming land across North 

Yorkshire have become waterlogged on 

several occasions throughout the past 12 

months and farmers are worried about what 

this year will bring for their businesses. 

In many cases, crops have been drowned 

and later frozen as a result of sub-zero 

temperatures, which raised fears in the 

farming industry of a knock-on effect for the 

2013 harvest. 

Farmers are now concerned that the 

damaged crops will lead to a rise in food 

prices for households, as there will be less 

produce available in 2013. 

Guy Poskitt, is a farmer from Kellington, 

who's fields have become waterlogged more 

than five times in the last year, due to recent 

heavy rainfall. 

Poskitts Vegetable Farmers and Growers 

is a leading business in carrot production, 

providing season long crops to Asda and a 

range of customer outlets. 

Guy explained to the Selby Post how the 

recent heavy downpours are making 

harvesting carrots a struggle for his business 

and this could effect production for the rest of 

the year. 

He said: "Everything went wrong towards 

the end of 2012. The weather was terrible and it 

really was a disastrous few months. 

"The damage to crops when they become 

flooded for days is irreversible. The carrots 

were rotting and simply unusable. 

"Our land has been completely saturated and 

we try to get machinery out there to plant but it 

just sinks into the wet ground. 

"We have bought a new harvester recently to 

help deliver to our regular customers as the 

weather held us back and made me panic we 

would have to let people down, but luckily we 

did not." 

The wider farming community benefits from 

Guy's experience as he is the current NFU 

county chairman in East Yorkshire and sits on 

the North East Horticulture Board, pushing for 

the interests of UK growers. 

Speaking in more general terms, he added: 

"When I speak to NFU members, none of them 

are happy at the minute and many have lost 

out financially and are short of cash and crop! 

"2011 was a strong year for the farming 

industry, but 2012 was disastrous and everyone 

will feel the affects for the remainder of this 

year unless the weather decides to be dry and 

cool for a very very long time." 

The most recent spate of floods, which hit 

Cawood and surrounding areas the worst, 

have caused huge problems for one particular 

farmer from Kelfield. 

Chris Stones, of Stones J F and Sons, covers 

200 acres of land in total and much of this is 

based within Kelfield Ings - which holds flood 

water every time the River Ouse bursts its 

banks at Cawood. 

“ 

If the pumping 

house in the 

Ings was fixed, some of 

my crops could 

be saved... 

– 

Farmer Chris Stones 

SINKING FEELING: Even when the floods clear, the 

effect on the land is long-term and prevents new 

seeds from being planted as machinery simply sinks 

into saturated ground. (17-01-35 SU) 

Chris told the Selby Post how his land is 

now completely saturated and he is concerned 

about the effects this will have on his business 

this year. 

"We have only managed to get one fifth of 

our crops planted this winter, as the river has 

burst its banks three times in the past six 

months, causing major problems for our land," 

said Chris. 

"My land normally floods once every seven 

years on average. But three times in six months 

is simply the worst case scenario and 2012 was 

definitely the wettest autumn I have ever 

experienced and I have been in the industry for 

over 50 years." 

When the river bursts at Cawood, the nearby 

Kelfield Ings stores the flood water until it 

drains away. 

Chris explained how the acres of his land 

which are in Kelfield Ings could be saved if the 

pumping house was fixed ready for autumn 

this year. 

He said: "My main problem is the amount of 

time it takes for the water to drain. I 

understand they can not prevent the river from 

flooding, but if the pumping house in the Ings 

was fixed (as it is currently broken), some of 

my crops could be saved as they would survive 

if they were not flooded for so long." 

When The River Ouse burst its banks in 

September 2012, Kelfield Ings held flood water 

for over two weeks, which was almost two 

metres deep in parts. 

"We started drilling the land at the end of 

September last year, but two days later the 

river came over at Cawood which affected 

nearly half of my land," explained Chris. 

"As a result of all the flooding we only got 20 

per cent of our autumn sowing done and now 

our land is completely saturated, I doubt it will 

even recover properly until this time next year." 

The financial effects of the floods also hit a 

Kelfield potato grower hard, who rents land 

from Chris, as he lost out on over £23,000 when 

the potatoes were drowned by the floods. 

At a cost of £1,800 per acre just for planting, 

it was all a waste when all 13 acres were 

waterlogged and the produce was destroyed 

completely. 

Chris said he is hoping for drier weather in 

upcoming months, so he can hopefully start 

planting again. 

He added: "I think 2013 will be a pretty poor 

year, but everything is dependent on the 

weather. 

"We have no support and can not get 

insurance for bad weather, as it is just nature." 

In a statement released by the 

National Farmers Union (NFU) on New 

Year's Day, a weather-beaten black hole 

was described which the extreme wet 

weather has caused. 

It read: “The NFU estimates the 

appalling weather of 2012 has led to a 

financial black hole on Britain’s farms 

amounting to a staggering £1.3 billion 

and as we enter 2013 many farmers are 

in areas under water or facing a doublewhammy 

of huge feed bills for their 

livestock. 

“As farmers look out over their 

sodden fields this New Year’s Day they 

remain generally optimistic for the 

longer-term, but this will be a crucial 

year when the building blocks for a 

secure food supply and resilient farming 

sector are put in place." 

Rachael Gillbanks, spokeswoman for 

the National Farmers Union North 

Yorkshire region, said: "The wet winter 

has affected every single sector of the farming 

industry, including poultry, arable and 

livestock. 

"Usually it is swings and roundabouts, but 

for farmers in this region to suffer from floods 

three times in less than a year is unbelievable 

and the effects are visible widespread across 

the industry." 

Vegetable farmers such as Guy and Chris, 

have seen their crops rot and lost money as a 

result. 

Rachael said: "Supermarkets have been 

selling smaller vegetables and even misshaped 

ones to make the most of the harvest as the 

amount available to them has dropped 

significantly." 

Knock-on affect 

across the whole 

food sector 

The wet weather has also made the quality of 

grain available for poultry deteriorate as it 

becomes smaller, shrivelled and less 

nutritional, which therefore has an affect on 

their produce. 

Livestock have also suffered as the quality of 

grass has plummeted as a result of all the heavy 

rainfall, and some farmers even had to bring 

animals in much earlier than they usually 

would which makes feeding costs soar through 

the roof. 

Rachael explained how the lack of warmth 

and sunshine over recent months has battered 

the cereal industry, and said: "In order for crop 

to ripen to its finest form, sunshine and 

warmth is needed and that has been missing 

for months. 

"The latest cereal harvest has been desperate, 

the cold weather does nothing for cereal crops 

and cereal farmers have probably been hit the 

hardest alongside vegetable farmers." 

Rachael explained that for the first time in 

her ten years of working with the NFU, she had 

even heard of some farmers not planting crops 

for this year, but waiting until next year to give 

their land chance to fully recover. 

Others have described the most recent 

potato harvest as the worst since the 1970's. 

"Every sector will feel the affects of this wet 

season this year and possibly into next year 

unless we get better weather and a dry spell 

soon, which will allow land to dry and farmers 

to plant!" 

Smoker fined 

after ‘prostitute’ 

rant at railway 

station worker 

A 42-year-old man has had 

to pay a £350 fine after 

verbally abusing a Selby 

Railway Station supervisor 

who told him to stop 

smoking on the platform. 

Patrick McKenzie, who 

lives in Hull, was not present 

at Selby Magistrates' Court 

on Thursday, January 11, and 

had no defence solicitor there 

on his behalf, when the 

Crown Prosecution Service's 

case against him was proved. 

The bye-law offence of 

unacceptable behaviour on 

the railway happened on 

Monday, September 17, last 

year between about 5pm and 

7pm. 

Katrina Joyce, who is 

employed by First Trans 

Pennine Express as a 

supervisor was working that 

day when she saw Mr 

McKenzie smoking on the 

platform. 

When Ms Joyce told Mr 

McKenzie that he couldn't 

smoke on the platform he 

said: "It is out in the open 

air." 

She then replied: "I don't 

make the rules" 

Prosecuting, Sandra 

White, said: "The defendant

follows the resignation last

who had been leader of the 

Upper House since May 

2010. Mr Adams had 

worked as PPS to Lord 

Strathclyde since 

September 2010. 

He said: "I am very 

pleased to have been 

appointed as PPS to the

"Working with Lord

this manner for some time 

making her feel 

uncomfortable and 

intimidated." 

When Ms Joyce told him 

she would call the police, Mr 

McKenzie said: "Call the 

f***ing police I don't care". 

When the police arrived at 

the station, Mr McKenzie 

was getting into a silver Ford 

Fiesta car, which was being 

driven by a blonde woman, 

who stopped the car upon 

police direction. 

When Mr McKenzie 

attended the police 

interview, he said: "Yes it was 

me, I was there but I didn't 

call her a jobsworth. I

Lashed 

out over 

lack of 

manners 

by Kezia Buckley 

A 24-year-old alcoholic 

woman has pleaded guilty 

to assaulting a woman in 

Selby, after she moved her 

bicycle out of the way for 

her and received no 'thank 

you' in return. 

Jenna Rhodes, who lives in 

Pontefract, was walking with 

her bicycle through Selby on 

Saturday, October 20, last 

year, when she assaulted 

Claire O'Hara in the 

European Food Shop in 

Gowthorpe. 

Ms Rhodes, pleaded guilty 

to the offence at Selby 

Magistrates' Court on 


Sandra White, solicitor for 

the Crown Prosecution 

Service, said: "At about 8pm 

the complainant Claire 

O'Hara was walking with 

friends into Selby town for a 

night out, when she decided 

to go into a shop to purchase 

some cigarettes. As she 

reaches the shop she noticed 

the defendant approaching 

her pushing a bike. As she 

passes by, the defendant then 

shouts at Ms O'Hara and says 

'a thank you wouldn't go a 

miss'. Ms O'Hara then went 

into the shop and stood in the 

queue and was waiting to be 

served when Ms Rhodes 

followed her in and started 

kicking off and having a go at 

her about manners and 

saying a thank you was 

required." 

CCTV footage of the 

assault was then shown in 

court to the magistrates, 

which showed Ms Rhodes 

lashing out at hitting Ms 

O'Hara in the face with the 

back of her hand. 

Mrs White, prosecuting 

said: "After Ms Rhodes hit 

Ms O'Hara, her friend 

intervenes by standing 

between them. Ms Rhodes 

then continues to shout 

aggressively, threatening her 

saying she will wait for her to 

come outside. Ms O"Hara 

had no idea why she had 

been assaulted, she didn't say 

anything or do anything to 

provoke her." 

A member of the probation 

service who spoke on her 

behalf said that she was 

drunk at the time and only 

remembers parts of the 

incident as she often drinks 

up to ten cans a day. 

She said: "Ms Rhodes lacks 

consequential thinking and 

cognitive skills and she was 

very honest in interview and 

said that she would not do 

unpaid work and would 

rather go to prison. Therefore 

I would recommend a 

supervision order is made." 

Keith Haggerty, defending 

her said: "Her previous 

record shows a young lady 

which has had a lot of alcohol 

related problems for many 

years. In a very polite way 

she moved her cycle out of 

the way and when she was 

ignored by the victim that 

annoyed her. 

"She is adamant that for all 

her troubles and faults, she 

was always taught to be 

polite and to have manners. 

"In this case, the camera 

does not lie. I would describe 

the assault as more a flick 

with the back of her hand 

rather than a punch. She is 

not proud of this and she has 

made serious efforts to try 

and control her drinking 

issues. I would hope her 

punishment is reflected 

adequately." 

Hilary Gilbertson, chairing 

magistrate, said while 

passing sentence: "The 

probation service has given 

us a very helpful report and 

Mr Haggerty has told us of 

your complicated life. You 

have made efforts to cope 

with your alcohol problem 

therefore we have drawn 

back from custody because 

we feel you need help and 

support. Most people do use 

the manners you felt the 

victim didn't but your self 

control should have stopped 

you from going into the shop 

and acting aggressive for a 

period of time, which caused 

alarm to her. The 

compensation you will pay is 

a token to her." 

Magistrates sentenced her 

to a 12-month supervision 

order, with the condition of 

attending a thinking skills 

course and ordered her to 

pay £50 compensation to the 

victim for causing alarm and 

distress.

School raises charity cash 

Pupils at The Read 

School in Drax have 

been busy raising 

money for The Hearing 

Dogs for Deaf People. 

Students of all ages 

raised a total sum of 

£485 by selling baked 

goods at their Harvest 

Festival. Year 6 students 

took part in an auction in 

which some of the 

goods were sold. 

In a special assembly, 

the students were 

treated to a talk about 

hearing dogs by Lucy 

Ward, who brought in 

Chloe, a black labrador 

who has just finished 

her training. 

Chloe has been 

specially trained to help 

a deaf child. Children 

were full of questions for 

her, and Lucy was only 

too happy to answer. 

Lucy explained how 

Chloe can be lifechanging 

for a deaf 

person. "For example, if 

a fire alarm was going 

off, she would lay down 

on the floor to alert them 

to the dangers." 

"To wake a deaf person 

up, Chloe would tug at 

the edge of the duvet, 

taking it off them." 

One child was desperate 

to know whether the 

dogs can go into 

schools. "We tend not to 

take them into schools. 

Everybody would want 

to stroke them and not 

do their work!" 

Head girl Amy Lister is 

pictured presenting the 

cheque to Lucy Ward 

from The Hearing Dogs 

for Deaf People.

As we welcome in the New Year many 

of us will be making resolutions for the 

months ahead. January marks a fresh 

start and is a great opportunity to set 

personal challenges to improve 

ourselves, our lifestyles, and to try to 

make amends for eating too many 

mince pies at Christmas. The festive 

season always brings with it 

overindulgence and January is the 

perfect time for abstinence and a little 

restraint. After all it is a New Year and 

that so often means a New You. 

When it comes to making New Year's 

resolutions, eating healthier, losing 

weight and exercising more tend to top 

the list. 

Stick to resolutions 

However, we all know that sticking to 

resolutions can be tricky, around seven 

million people will make New Year's 

resolutions to improve their health but 

statistically only around 10% 

will stick to them. 

Many of us will promise to 

get a little more exercise, but 

despite our best intentions it is 

easy for motivation to fade as 

the months tick by. 

Whether it's lack of 

motivation, lack of resources, 

or we just lose interest, it's 

time to make a fresh start and 

figure out ways to finish what 

we've started. 

Make sure you stand out 

from the crowd in 2013, and 

feel fitter, healthier and much 

happier, by taking advantage 

of the local businesses in the 

area that are here to help you 

PAGE TWENTY SEVEN 

NEW YOU! 

achieve your goals. 

When it comes to joining the gym, as 

so many of us decide to do every 

January, the helpful staff at Selby Gym 

are there to support you every step of 

the way from the induction showing you 

how to use all the machines to 

discussing the right fitness plan for you. 

If you prefer to get active by doing 

something a bit more fun than pounding 

the treadmill, why not try Zumba? 

If you love to dance, a Zumba class is 

the perfect way to work out, with easyto-follow 

moves set to pumping Latin 

rhythms you could burn up to 1000 

calories in an hour. 

You will quickly work up a sweat but 

youʼll be having so much fun you wonʼt 

even realise you are exercising. So 

what are you waiting for? Grab your 

dancing shoes and start losing weight 

today. 

Toning, cardio or low impact class, 

There’s a fitness programme for you!

For those who are less keen on 

working up a sweat and who would 

rather follow in the footsteps of the 

stars and use one of the latest 

weight-loss treatments taking the 

world by storm, then why not try 

Gastric Band Hypnotherapy? It is a 

safe, risk-free, and cost effective 

alternative to traditional Gastric Band 

Surgery using hypnosis to trick your 

mind into thinking your stomach has 

shrunk to the size of a golf ball. 

Hypnotherapy is used to retrain and 

convince your mind that you have had 

a Gastric Band fitted. You will feel 

much fitter, and most clients have 

reported losing up to seven pounds in 

their first week. All this can be 

achieved with no ill effects or feeling 

of deprivation. 

Stay healthy 

While making several lifestyle 

changes at once can be 

daunting, latest findings show 

that making just one healthy 

resolution can have knock-on 

benefits in other areas. 

Research carried out by the 

National Centre for Social 

Research for the Department 

of Health found that people 

who adopted healthy practices 

in one area of life were likely 

to be healthy in other areas 

too. 

So if every year you make 

the same promises to yourself, 

in 2013 you can achieve a 

happier and healthier lifestyle, 

even if it just means making 

one change.

Police thank 

public for help Thirty years of 

with vital drink 

drive campaign 

North Yorkshire Police has 

thanked the public for their 

help to get drink and drug 

drivers off the road over the 

Christmas period. 

Officers arrested 114 

motorists on suspicion of 

drink driving and conducted 

3,455 breath tests during 

their annual festive 

crackdown campaign, with 

many of those drivers being 

stopped thanks to 

information which was 

provided by members of the 

public. 

Officers also arrested a 

total of 13 drivers on 

suspicion of driving while 

impaired through drugs 

during the campaign, which 

lasted one month. 

In Selby, a total of 342 

breath tests were carried out 

during the campaign and 16 

of these tests were positive. 

High-visibility patrols on 

the roads throughout North 

Yorkshire were an integral 

part of the campaign, but 

intelligence from the 

community was equally 

important as it allowed 

officers to target certain 

people and specific areas. 

Although targeted 

campaigns such as the 

Christmas initiative are a 

focal point in the efforts to 

put a stop to drink and drug 

driving, officers are keen to 

point out that with the help 

of the public they can target 

people who get behind the 

wheel while impaired all 

year round. 

Despite the Christmas 

drink and drug campaign 

officially finishing on New 

Year's Day 2013, officers have 

continued to target offenders 

and have made 13 arrests 

since the campaign ended. 

Traffic Sergeant Pete 

Stringer, of North Yorkshire 

Police’s Roads Policing 

Group, said: “Although it is 

concerning that we arrested 

more people during this 

year’s campaign than we did 

12 months ago and during 

the summer campaign, I am 

really pleased by the 

response of the public in 

general. 

“The vast majority of 

people know that drink and 

drug driving is reckless, 

dangerous and irresponsible 

which was evident in the 

number of calls we received 

to report people suspected of 

driving while under the 

influence of drink or drugs. 

“The public’s support is 

invaluable in helping to keep 

our roads safe from drink 

and drug drivers and I would 

like to thank everyone for 

their continued help. 

“I hope people will 

continue to provide us with 

information throughout the 

year because the fight against 

drink driving isn’t just for 

one month over Christmas it 

is a 12 month campaign. It 

will continue year after year 

until people get the message 

that drink driving costs lives 

and is completely 

unacceptable.” 

l If you would like to 

report someone you suspect 

of drink or drug driving, 

contact North Yorkshire 

Police on 101 – select option 1 

– and pass information to the 

Force Control Room. 

If you wish to remain 

anonymous, Crimestoppers 

can be contacted on 0800 555 

111. 

Take part in mass quiz 

The annual Selby Lions pub quiz will be held at a number of 

pubs throughout the town tomorrow. 

On Friday, January 18, the quiz will start at 8.30pm in each 

pub and will consist of 100 questions in a space of 30 minutes. 

The winning pub and highest fundraiser will be awarded a 

trophy once the results are in. 

All proceeds raised will go to towards the Senior Citizens 

Concert in March, as well as the Selby Lions local charity 

funds, which are used to help individuals and organisations 

in the area.

being fantastic!

A lollipop lady who is loved by all the 

children at a Selby school has worked 

there for 30 years. 

Janice Sheller, from Selby, has worked 

at Selby Community Primary School on 

Flaxley Road as the crossing patrol lady, 

since January 8, 1983. 

Last week, she was presented with 

flowers, a 30 year badge and a framed 

certificate by her supervisor and the 

headteacher during the school's weekly 

celebration assembly which takes place 

every Friday. 

Janice not only works as the crossing 

patrol lady every morning and 

afternoon at the school, she also helps 

out around the school and even dresses 

up as the school's Christmas fairy every 

year! 

She said: "I have enjoyed every single 

minute of the past 30 years and I will be 

really emotional when I retire in July. 

"I have seen all four of my 

grandchildren come through this school 

and have seen generations of families 

from Selby attend too! 

"Everyday is a highlight for me as I 

get to know all the kids and I really will 

miss the job when I leave. Some of them 

are asking me to stay, and their parents 

don't want me to leave either, which is 

lovely." 

Janice says despite helping pupils 

cross the road whatever the weather, it 

will be difficult to get out of her routine 

and not seeing the children everyday. 

She added: "I have adapted to all 

weather conditions and I am so used to 

the routine. It will be hard to settle into 

retirement but I am looking to spending 

more time with my husband." 

During the celebration assembly, all 

the children applauded 70-year-old 

Janice and she received plenty of hugs 

from everyone. 

Barry Johnson is the school crossing 

patrol officer for half of North Yorkshire 

schools and had nothing but praise for 

Janice. 

He said: "She has done a fine job for 30 

years. She is loved by all the kids and 

makes her role more personal as she 

knows every single child's name who 

crosses that road and all of the families 

know her. 

New hospital governors have been appointed to represent Selby and 

the communities interests. 

Two new governors have been appointed to the Council of Governors 

of York Teaching Hospital NHS Foundation Trust, which includes the 

New Selby War Memorial Hospital. 

Newly elected governors Anne Bolland and Andrew Butler, will 

provide a link between the public and staff members, local communities 

and the Board of Directors of the Trust, and help to ensure that the 

interests of our communities are represented. 

The Council of Governors consists of public governors and staff 

governors who have been elected by their constituencies from the 

membership of the Foundation Trust. 

MUCH LOVED LOLLYPOP LADY: Janice is pictured here with headteacher of Selby Community 

Primary, Mr Clennan (left) and her supervisor Barry Johnson (right), who presented her with a 

certificate badge and flowers. (17-01-10 SU) 

"She hardly ever has any time off and never calls in sick. She is just 

fantastic." 

Newly appointed hospital governors to 

oversee major investment decisions 

It also includes nominated representatives from the Primary Care 

Trust, Local Authority, University and other partnership 

organisations. 

Chairman of the Trust, Alan Rose, said: “The governors bring a 

wealth of expertise, experience and ideas which are essential to 

ensuring the effective development of our NHS Foundation Trust. 

"They ensure that the Trust is managed appropriately, and have a 

number of key responsibilities including the appointment of the chair, 

non-executive directors and the Trust's external auditors, and 

approving the appointment of the chief executive. In addition, 

following the recent Health Bill, a majority of governors will be 

required to approve investment decisions of significance."


YOUR WEEK IN THE 

STARS 

by Leah 

ARIES 

March 21 - April 20 (01) 

Be ready for an exciting time this week, as you get 

the surprise of your life from someone special. Have 

you already guessed? I doubt it, but it will remove 

any doubts you may have been thinking of for some 

time. Happy days! 

TAURUS 

April 21 - May 21 (02) 

Be careful when relaying messages between two 

people who may have differences. It is all too easy 

to be accused of taking sides when in actual fact 

you are not. Make your position clear and you will 

be OK. 

GEMINI 

May 22 - June 21 (03) 

Look to the future with gusto as you embark on a 

new phase of your life, be hopeful and determined, 

above all be positive and all will fall into place. Have 

you ever thought of a new career? Anything is 

possible right now. 

CANCER 

June 22 - July 23 (04) 

Waiting on the sidelines is prudent but it will never 

help you face up to the problems you have right 

now. Running and hiding will not do, take the horse 

by the reins and face up to others. At least you will 

know the truth. 

LEO 

July 24 - August 23 (05) 

A long standing business that has had its ups 

and downs will see a new and enriched period 

where what you seek will be found. Never give up 

hope as others are only just beginning to realise 

its potential and yours! 

VIRGO 

August 24 - Sept 23 (06) 

Try to loosen up your ways when dealing with 

others. You have got so rigid in your thinking, that 

you are always making yourself left out just 

because others do not do it your way! Chill out and 

just see what happens! 

LIBRA 

Sept 24 - October 23 (07) 

Can you really say that you have done enough to 

solve a problem with another person? Itʼs all too 

easy to think that it is their fault and vice versa, the 

reality though is often so different! Re-look at things 

now and make a decision. 

SCORPIO 

October 24 - Nov 22 (08) 

The new person you are turning into continues to 

explore new possibilities and options so do not stop 

now. Others are already seeing the change in you 

and if you keep going you will top the successes 

you have previously had! 

SAGITTARIUS 

Nov 23 - December 22 (09) 

Hooray! Yes that is what you should be doing right 

now but unfortunately youʼre not, so why? It is easy 

to be pessimistic but that takes you into a rut that is 

difficult to get out of. You had better shape up or 

ship out! 

CAPRICORN 

December 23 - Jan 20 (10) 

Time to have your forgiving head on as a loved one 

may be going through a bad phase of life and are 

just not themselves. Do not judge them, be 

understanding as you never know what the future 

holds for any of us! 

AQUARIUS 

Jan 21 - February 19 (11) 

Life around you is changing so much that you can 

hardly recognise it from even a year ago. The 

problem is that you are fighting it every inch of the 

way in an attempt to hang on to the past. Let it go 

and start to enjoy life once more! 

PISCES 

Feb 20 - March 20 (12) 

Being one of the wittiest signs of the zodiac helps 

you through times of trouble and also happiness. 

You are going to need every ounce of that soon 

when events push you to the limit. All will be well 

but not easy!

MP flatters town in hope 

Police have issued a warning to 

motorists after yet another spate of 

catalytic-converter thefts in the Selby 

area. 

A number of convertors have been 

stolen from vehicles across the district in 

the past few weeks. 

Last year police launched a series of 

catalytic-converter security-marking 

days as a response to the crime trend. 

Selby Police are reminding motorists 

that the scheme is ongoing and urging 

them to take advantage of the crimeprevention 

drive. 

To find out more about securitymarking 

dates, times and venues, 

contact North Yorkshire Police on 101 or 

visit your local police station. 

l The theft of registration plates in the 

Selby district is on the rise, say police. 

They are urging motorists to use as 

much security as possible to keep 

thieves at bay. 

A small number of registration-plate 

security packs are available at police 

stations throughout the district. They are 

also available at Halfords and other 

autoparts shops. 

It's believed that thieves are stealing 

the plates to put on their own vehicles 

for use in criminal activity. 

Response from 

bosses of care 

home under fire 

after inspection 

Providers of a Selby came 

home say that 'immediate 

action' has been taken 

following the formal 

warning received by the 

Care Quality Commission. 

The formal warning was 

recently issued to Guardian 

Care Homes UK Limited - the 

registered provider of The 

Grange Care Home on Leeds 

Road. 

Bosses at Guardian Care 

have now stated that action 

has been taken since the Care 

Quality Commission (CQC) 

issued the warning, stating it 

is failing to protect the safety 

and welfare of its residents in 

Selby. 

Head of care at Guardian 

Care Homes (UK), Mark 

Cloonan, said: "Guardian 

Care is committed in 

providing the highest 

standards of care and quality 

to all the residents we care 

for. 

"We accept there have been 

some issues surrounding the 

administration of medicines

and work is on going. 

"We operate a very open,

of working and continue to 

work closely with North 

Yorkshire County Council to 

address any issues. 

"Guardian Care would like 

to state that the home was 

inspected in July and October 

2012 and was deemed fully 

compliant by the Care 

Quality Commission." 

The formal warning came 

after an unannounced visit 

by inspectors which took 

place in November 2012, as 

part of the CQC's planned 

review of care services. 

In a statement released by 

the CQC earlier this month, 

the regulator demanded 

immediate improvement at 

the Selby care home, and 

warned that if immediate 

improvements are not made, 

The Grange could face 

further legal action from the 

CQC. 

of scoring Tour De France 

by Kim Law 

Local MP Nigel Adams has 

dug deep into Selby's 

impressive history and 

spoken of the town's longstanding 

French links in 

hope of bringing the Tour 

De France through the 

district. 

Mr Adams has explained 

Selby's historical links with 

France, dating back almost 

1,000 years, as well as the 

cycling history of the town, 

during a debate at 

Westminster Hall last week 

between fellow MPs, 

regarding the Tour De 

France coming to the county. 

The Selby Post previously 

reported that the county will (17-01-45 SP) 

host the first two days 

racing on the 5th and 6th July 2014, before the 101st 

edition of the tour moves south for a third stage in 

southern England, with a finish in London. 

It is unknown whether or not the route will pass 

specifically through Selby, but Selby and Ainsty 

MP Nigel Adams, is pushing for the district to be 

considered. 

Nigel has supported the 'Back Le Bid' for 

months, as he met with Tour De France organisers 

in summer and showed his support to Welcome To 

Yorkshire. 

More recently, Nigel has spoken at a debate at 

Westminster Hall and explained to other MPs some 

of the most interesting parts of Selby's history, in 

order to put a case forward for part of the tour to 

come to Selby. 

Speaking at the debate in December 2012, Mr 

Adams said: "The 5 and 6 July will be fantastic for 

the north of England, and particularly for 

Yorkshire, as Leeds will host the grand départ. 

"Two stages of the Tour will need to go 

somewhere, and I hope the Amaury Sport 

Organisation, the race organiser, is listening to this 

debate as I want to make the case for part of the 

Tour to come to my area. 

"Selby has a fantastic cycling history. It also has 

links with France going back more than 950 years, 

and I will list a few. 

"Members will be intrigued to hear that the town 

of Selby was founded by a French Benedictine 

monk—in fact, it was Benedict himself—in about 

1067. 

A Selby man has been given a second chance by 

magistrates after admitting to being drunk and 

disorderly and breaching an earlier sentence for 

the offence of possessing cannabis. 

Mr Paul Storey, 24, of Primrose Grove, appeared 

at Selby Magistrates' Court last week on Thursday, 

January 10, where he pleaded guilty to the offence. 

Police had been called to Mr Storey's partner's 

address in North Drive, Sherburn in Elmet at about 

10pm on Saturday, December 22, where he is said 

to have been "thumping against the door, trying to 

shoulder barge his way inside and shouting 

"f**cking let me in". 

Mr Storey, who was unrepresented in court, said in 

his defence: "It was a domestic between me and my 

partner, we had been arguing all night. I just wanted 

to get in to get my clothes, which I had packed in a bag 

and I was standing outside wearing only a T-shirt and 

jeans. I had no jacket on and it was raining, I just 

wanted to get my stuff and go." 

"The fourth son of William the 

Conqueror, who was French, of 

course, would go on to become 

King Henry I, and he was born 

in Selby, becoming the only 

English-born Norman monarch. 

"Selby Abbey’s patron saint is 

St Germain, who was based in 

Auxerre, and evidence suggests 

he visited Selby." 

The Selby and Ainsty MP 

then impresses further, by 

referring to the scientist 

Smithson Tennant, who was 

assisted in discovering two 

chemical elements in 1804 by 

two French chemists. 

He adds: "Cochrane’s 

shipyard built many of the ships 

and supplied some of the barge 

men for the D-day landings, 

which made the liberation of 

France possible." 

Westminster Hall debates contain no votes, and 

were introduced in 1999, to foster a new style of 

debate which is meant to encourage constructive 

rather than confrontational debate. 

Speaking after the debate, Nigel said he would 

be taking up every opportunity in upcoming 

months to press for the tour to come to Selby 

directly. 

He commented: "I will raise this issue whenever 

I get the chance, and I am sure there will be plenty 

more debates and opportunities regarding Tour De 

France, where I can aim to encourage organisers to 

bring the event through Selby. 

"Wherever the tour passes through in Yorkshire 

will be excellent, as it will give residents the 

opportunity to see one of the world's largest 

sporting events in their home county." 

The precise route of the Tour De France 2014, 

will be decided by the private company Amaury 

Sport Organisation, and further details are set to be 

announced in upcoming months. 

The successful bid could bring over £300 million 

into the county's economy and further details of 

the Grand Départ and the stages it will include will 

be announced on January 17, 2013, at a press 

conference. 

The Tour de France is one of the world’s top 

global sporting events which originally started in 

1903, and the three-week cycle race travels around 

France and surrounding countries covering over 

3,500km. 

‘Be more neighbourly’ warns magistrate 

Expensive welding equipment was stolen from a 

shed in Kirk Smeaton sometime over Christmas. 

The rear shed of a property on Mount Pleasant was 

targeted by thieves sometime between Friday, 

December 21, last year and Monday, January 7, 

while the occupants were away. 

The missing items were discovered when the 

occupants returned to find that a chainsaw, a 

In a police statement read by the Crown 

Prosecutor, Sandra White, it said Mr Storey was 

"clearly in drink", however Mr Storey admitted to 

having had a drink but denied that he was drunk 

at the time. 

When passing sentence, presiding magistrate, 

Hillary Gilbertson, said: "We have heard this 

morning your version of events and we do believe 

you. We have decided to revoke your original 

conditional discharge for the possession of 

cannabis, which you were two thirds of the way 

through and seems to have been going fairly well 

up until this point. This sort of behaviour is totally 

unacceptable, it was frightening for your partner, 

your child in the house and your neighbours. You 

should take this as a lesson to behave in a more 

neighbourly way in future." 

Mr Storey was then given a further 18-months 

conditional discharge and ordered to pay £85 in 

court costs and a £15 victim surcharge. 

Unpleasant discovery for owners 

Bosch angle-grinder and various other welding 

equipment had been stolen from the shed. 

The door of the shed had been jemmied open and 

North Yorkshire Police are now appealing for 

information to help with their enquiries. 

If you saw anything suspicious around this area 

during the time stated, you can contact police on 

101.

Golf heaven 

in the sun 

Many a golfer longs to spend the 

holidays putting in 18 holes a day in 

sunnier climes. And many would fancy a 

holiday home abroad next to a course. 

The problem may be that if the rest of 

the family are in tow, the attractions of 

the course may not be matched by the 

sort of local amenities that keep children 

or partners happy. If you're a family of 

golf fanatics there are several holiday 

home options, such as South Africa's 

Garden Route, Portugal's Algarve and Florida's fairways. But if the family needs 

more, the coast with the most is still Spainʼs Costa del Sol. Victoria and James 

Harrocks, from the north-west of England, bought a three-bed penthouse apartment 

at Los Cortijos in Mijas. James has been a member of a golf club since he was 10, 

and the couple have two boys who are both into golf big time. Los Cortijos quickly 

emerged as a frontrunner - the first reason was accessibility. Both EasyJet and 

RyanAir can do the trip in just two and a half hours. Next was sunshine. The Costa 

del Sol has the best climate in Europe. Shirt sleeves are the order of the day in 

December. And then there's golf. It has the highest concentration of golf courses in 

Europe, more than 50 at the last count, of which 12 are within minutes of Los 

Cortijos. But Mijas is also ideally located for sandy beaches, bars and restaurants - 

and the town even boasts its own aquapark, racecourse and modern shopping 

centre. There are swanky yachts and designer boutiques within a 15-minute drive to 

the west, and the resort has its own heated swimming pools, gym and spa. Plus, the 

properties at Los Cortijos all boast golf, sea and mountain views. 

Home shopping is nothing new - we've been 

getting stuff delivered to our door for decades. But 

now that catalogue stores are online, do they still 

win over a trip to the shops? 

Convenience - The shops might close, but the 

internet never does. And all this while avoiding the 

crowds and the pushy sales assistants. 

Transport - Home shopping saves you queueing 

for hours to find a parking space, and no more 

fiddling around for change for the machine. 

Price comparison - There are search engines 

dedicated to finding the best price for whatever item 

you want, so no need to traipse from shop to shop 

trying to find the best deal on that must-have item. 

Try kelkoo.co.uk or pricerunner.co.uk. 

Choice - Home shopping offers a choice you 

simply can't find in the high street. But remember to

Moving house is one 

of life's most stressful 

events, and 

unfortunately we don't 

always get a choice of 

what time of year we do it. When the 

solicitor calls to offer a completion 

date we are usually so relieved that 

we don't check the weather forecast - 

or anything else for that matter. 

If we had everything our own way, 

our moving day it would be glorious 

spring sunshine from sunrise to 

sunset. But the world doesn't work 

like that. Move in winter and there's a 

pretty good chance the weather will 

be shocking. So what can you do? If 

you have a dog, for example, it would 

be great if he went round to a 

neighbour for the day. This is true 

during a move at any time - but when 

it's raining all day, muddy paws are 

even less welcome. 

Your moving company, of course, 

will be pretty good at handling a bit of 

rain. If the weather is looking bad 

they will set off a bit early so they can 

start on time and will come equipped 

House-buying deposits 

The average deposit home buyers in 

England need to find is nearly £26,500 - 

but the highest is five times that of the 

lowest figure, analysis of the top 30 cities 

and regions shows. The highest figure (in 

London) is £72,760, while the lowest is 

£14,470. Home buyers in London need 

almost double that of the second most 

expensive area to buy, Reading (at 

£39,789). Meanwhile in Blackburn the 

deposit is a fifth of the London average 

(£14,470) and £1,200 lower than Blackpool 

(the next most affordable at £15,707).

And they are fairly hardy 

souls. 

They will, of course, be 

mostly concerned about 

not getting your things wet, especially 

if it's a long distance move or if you 

are moving overseas. They will take 

every precaution to keep things dry, 

but it would be helpful if you could 

clear obstructions off the driveway so 

that the van can get as near to the 

door as possible. 

Amazingly, however, and contrary 

to popular myth, it doesn't often rain 

all day in the UK. It's usually possible 

for the chaps to do the packing 

indoors and then load the van during 

the minutes when the deluge eases. 

But it's not that you should really 

worry about, according to leading UK 

firm Britannia Movers International. 

Sometimes in winter, despite the 

efforts of global warming, the snow 

falls. And it often does so with little 

warning. And when it does, the UK 

infrastructure is inadequate.

chose to move house, you are probably 

staying put. But what if your buyer is the 

proud owner of a 4x4 and still wants to 

move into ʻyourʼ house - the house he 

now owns. Think ahead. If you know 

there's a risk of snow, why not choose 

to move a day or two before completion 

day. If your new house isn't ready, ask 

the moving company to hang on to 

everything for a while - and you can 

enjoy a night in a posh hotel. Spoil 

yourself as a reward for negotiating the 

sale successfully. If the snow falls, 

you've got a day in hand and there's no 

need to panic.

Four nights 

Theatre fans are in for a fantastic treat 

this Spring with the arrival of Goodnight 

Mister Tom at the York Grand Opera 

House between Feb. 26 and March 2. 

Set in the dark build up to the Second 

World War, Goodnight Mister Tom tells 

the story of William Beech, who is 

evacuated to the countryside. He forms 

an unlikely but remarkable friendship 

of ballet 

Following a sensational season in 

2012, The Russian State Ballet and 

Orchestra of Siberia is returning to 

Hull New Theatre on Wednesday 

January 23 to perform, La Fille Mal 

Gardée. 

This magical ballet will be followed 

by performances of Swan Lake, 

Coppélia and The Nutcracker on 

January 24, 25 and 26 respectively. 

Recreated by Alexander Gorsky, La 

Fille Mal Gardée is a gentle tale of 

love thwarted, unrequited and found. It 

is a masterpiece of comedy and is one 

of the oldest ballets still being 

performed today after its debut in 

Bordeaux in 1789. 

The ballet tells the tale of Lise and 

Colas, a lovestruck pair whose 

attempts at marriage are constantly 

obstructed by the Widow Simone and 

potential suitor Alain. This beguiling 

and witty ballet is brought to life by the 

magnificent costumes and virtuoso 

performances of the Russian State 

Ballet of Siberia. 

On January 24, the company will 

take to the stage with their 

interpretation of the greatest romantic 

ballet of all time Swan Lake, which 

features Tchaikovskyʼs haunting and 

unforgettable score; while the 

following evening, the story of 

Coppélia will be performed. A 

charming comedy of errors, Coppélia 

is set in the workshop of a doll maker 

and features a potent mix of antics 

and abracadabra. 

The most famous fantasy ballet of 

all time –The Nutcracker – forms the 

final part of the series of four 

performances on the 26 January and 

tells the tale of Clara and her beloved Nutcracker Prince, 

who fight off the Mouse King and his armies and return to 

the Land of the Sweets to meet the Sugar Plum Fairy. 

Formed in 1981, the Russian State Ballet of Siberia has 

quickly established itself as one of Russiaʼs leading ballet 

companies and has built an international reputation for 

delivering performances of outstanding quality and unusual 

with recluse Tom Oakley. Unfortunately, 

William is then sent for by his mother, 

and has to leave for London. 

Oliver Ford Davies is once again 

taking on the role of Mister Tom. As one 

of the UKʼs best known actors with 

numerous appearances in television, 

theatre and film, he canʼt wait to take to 

the stage again. With an extensive list 

depth. 

Tickets for La Fille Mal Gardée, Swan Lake, Coppélia and 

The Nutcracker are priced from £17.50-£33 and are 

available for purchase from the Wilson Centre on Alfred 

Gelder Street or by calling the Booking and Information Line 

on 01482 300300. Alternatively, please visit

of performances such as Star Wars, 

The Deep Blue Sea, Midsomer Murders 

and Spooks, he will bring nothing but 

professionalism to the performance. 

The story has been adapted by David 

Wood OBE, undoubtedly one of the 

countryʼs leading director of plays and 

musicals for children. He has an 

extensive repertoire, such as ʻThe Tiger 

A group of first-class singing and 

dancing entertainers with a twist will be 

hitting Hull City Hall this February. 

The Soldiers - Sergeant Major Gary 

Chilton, Staff Sergeant Richie 

Maddocks and Lance Corporal Ryan 

Idzi, have touched a chord with the 

nation and connected instantly, 

receiving standing ovations around the 

country. 

They created musical history as the 

first group of serving, British soldiers to 

have two top five and top ten albums. 

Their classic song ʻComing Homeʼ is 

recognised as their anthem and is 

dedicated to all who are serving now. 

As the youngest of the soldiers, the 

success of the group is still a shock to 

Ryan Idzi. Despite making it to the boot 

Who Came For Teaʼ, ʻJames and The 

Giant Peachʼ, and ʻGeorgeʼs Marvellous 

Medicineʼ to say in the least. 

Goodnight Mister Tom was written by 

author Michelle Magorian after hearing 

about her motherʼs tales about the war. 

It has been translated into 11 languages 

and won awards in America, Australia 

and the UK.

singer. 

Despite not progressing on the show, 

another opportunity was about to arise. 

Music entrepreneur Jeff Chegwin and 

partner Nick Patrick had already 

approached two soliders. Idzi 

completed the band. 

Similar to Gary Chilton, Richie 

Maddocks is a trained soldier who 

provides musical support for the army. 

Tickets for The Soldiers are priced

Launch of the 

Big Audition 

The Goole Times and East Yorkshire and Northern 

Lincolnshireʼs top radio station, Viking FM, have 

joined forces for 2013 and will be bringing you 

regular updates on our entertainment pages. 

Starting with the launch of a talent competition 

aiming to find Yorkshire and Northern Lincolnshireʼs 

best live music act in aid of a local childrenʼs charity. 

Viking FM and Magic 1161ʼs Cash For Kids have 

launched the Big Audition and will be holding heats 

around the region where people will be able to vote 

for their favourite act, whilst at the same time raising 

money for the charity, which helps underprivileged 

children from this area. 

The competition is open to all types of acts 

playing music from all genres and the grand prize 

for the eventual winner will be the chance to 

perform in front of up to 4,000 people at this 

summerʼs Viking FM Brid Bash at The Spa, 

Bridlington. 

Last yearʼs Brid Bash attracted top chart acts 

such as Misha B, Lawson, Rizzle Kicks and Newton 

Faulkner to name but a few. 

Viking FM Breakfast presenter, Jim Coulson 

A York bar are teaming up with the Grand Opera 

House to celebrate the upcoming comedy ʻ9 To 

5ʼ. 

Thomasʼ Bar, on Museum Street, are hosting a 

night of ʻdollyʼ good fun, featuring showings of 

Dolly Partonʼs films, a disco, cocktails, and a 

competition for the best dressed Dolly. There will 

be lots of prizes on offer, including tickets to the 

show. 

Dollywood Night will take place on Saturday 

19th January. 

Cricket fans are in for a treat with some hilarious tales 

as legends Henry Blofeld and Peter Baxter appear at 

the Grand Opera House in York on Friday, June 14. 

Appearing for the first time in a side-splitting show 

that tells the tales of their time in the BBC Test Match 

Special commentary box, the pair hope to wow the 

public. 

As one of international cricketʼs best loved 

broadcasters, Henry Blofeld OBE has been in 

demand since the 1970ʼs. Aged 72, he is still on the 

Test Match Special Team and will be broadcasting 

later this year. He admits it is just as much fun to be 

a part of the commentary as it is to listen to it. “In the 

box there are two different perspectives. Backers 

said: “The Big Audition is not only a great 

opportunity for a local band or singer to showcase 

their talent to a huge audience, but it will also help 

to raise lots of money for a great cause. 

“Viking FM and Magic 1161ʼs Cash For Kids 

really does make a difference to children in this area 

and what better way to contribute than displaying 

the vast array of talent that is about in Yorkshire and 

Northern Lincolnshire.” 

The local heats will take place in February at a 

number of venues around Yorkshire and Northern 

Lincolnshire before a live grand finale, where the 

eventual winner will be chosen by a panel of 

judges. 

People will be able to vote for their favourite act 

by making a donation to Viking FM and Magic 

1161ʼs Cash For Kids at any of the live events and 

then later via a text or online donation. 

Anybody wanting to enter the competition can do 

so on the Viking FM or Magic 1161 websites at 

www.vikingfm.co.uk/BigAudition or 

www.magic1161.co.uk/BigAudition. 

It promises to be a night 

of ‘dolly good fun’ 

The musical boasts an impressive cast list, 

with Jackie Clune (Billy Elliott), Natalie Casey 

(Two Pints of Lager and a Packet of Crisps) and 

Bonnie Langford (Chicago) all starring. 

Dolly hopes that everybody enjoys it as much 

as she did writing the music. “9 to 5 is perfect for 

anyone thatʼs ever wanted to string up their boss. 

So come join the fun!” 

9 to 5 will be in York from Monday 4th- 

SaturdayFebruary 9, 2013. 

Legends of the Test 

Match Special world 

was behind the scenes, and my boss! He had better 

watch it now though, as at long last, he isnʼt in charge 

of me!” 

The organising brain of BBC Test Match Special 

from 1973 to 2007, Peter Baxter is frequently part of 

the commentary team. He enjoys the feeling that the 

Test Match Special team is like a family. “The 

listeners are part of that family. There are so many 

stories of character in it. Henry and I have had a lot 

of fun reminiscing on the funny things that happened 

during our 35 years on the programme.” 

“We canʼt wait to share the fun with audiences 

around the country.”

March, and Selby Lions' local charity funds. 

Dave Jones, events organiser at Selby Lions, 

said: "We want people to come along to your local 

pub and support us as well as having a good time." 

It promises to be a great year for the Lions as 

Selby's favourite local newspaper, the Selby Post,

Selby Bike Ride on May 12. 

This year the ride will be raising funds for Martin 

House Children's Hospice, St Leonard's Hospice,

Care and the Lions' local charity funds, which are 

used to help individuals and organisations in the 

Selby area. 

Entry forms for the event will be available by the 

end of this month in local cycle shops as well as 

the Selby Post offices in The Crescent. 

The Lions, a non-political group, meet on the 

fourth Wednesday of every month at 8pm at the 

Albion Vaults in New Lane, Selby. Membership is 

open to males and females of all ages."We help 

many individuals and organisations by raising 

funds in various ways," added Mr Jones. 

"We also support projects overseas, when there 

have been such things as earthquakes, tsunamis 

and other natural disasters. 

"We are small in numbers and would like to 

encourage others to join us in helping others that 

are in need."For further information on the Selby 

group, go to www.selbydistrictlions.org.uk, or call

Shift to renting 

A cultural shift towards renting property 

rather than buying looks set to continue into 

2013 and beyond, predicts nationwide 

lettings specialist, Belvoir. 

The findings are contained in a new 

report, just published - ʻThe Belvoir Rental 

Indexʼ – which has tracked the ups and 

downs of the UK rental market from 2008 to 

October 2012. 

“We believe that the private rental sector 

is likely to remain a popular choice for 

2013, with demand for rental property 

unlikely to slow,“ says Dorian Gonsalves, 

Belvoirʼs Chief Executive Officer. 

Since the start of the ʻcredit crunchʼ in 

2008 few property rental levels have kept 

pace with inflation and over the past five 

years average UK rents across the board 

have actually fallen by nearly 2.4 per cent – 

despite perceptions to the contrary. 

Mark Stephenson, a Belvoir office owner, 

“ I really enjoy warm 

winter evenings in my 

new McCarthy & Stone 

retirement apartment”

says: “This is good news for tenants 

because they can fix and control their 

monthly accommodation budget in these 

tough times and still achieve excellent value 

for money. 

“The flexibility of rented accommodation 

means that tenants can, if necessary, relocate 

more easily to take up employment 

opportunities elsewhere. They are also free 

to trade up or down to meet changing 

economic and family circumstances.” 

The trend towards increased renting is 

good news for landlords too, since local 

markets for rented housing continue to 

expand. 

“I believe that the buy to let market 

continues to offer great opportunities, but 

anyone looking to invest in 2013 must, as 

always, have a clear strategy, since it is not 

a ʻget rich quickʼ scheme,” added Mark. 

“They need to ensure they buy property 

at the right price, in the right location and 

identify the type of property which people 

will want to rent from them both now and 

into the future.” 

Looking back over 2012, there were 

several major influences on the rental 

market - economic performance, inflation 

and wages and unemployment. 

“Despite the doom and gloom around the 

economy and debt, unemployment rates fell 

in 2012 and, according to the Office for 

National Statistics (ONS), are currently at 

7.8%. 

Belvoirʼs Mark Stephenson adds, “As 

renting becomes more and more popular – 

especially amongst people under the age of 

30, who, increasingly, are moving away 

from property purchase – we are moving 

into ʻGeneration Rentʼ - with both tenants 

and property investors and landlords 

coming out as winners.

PAGE THIRTY NINE 

Renters increase 

by 1.6 million 

Results from the latest UK census show how the private 

rented property sector has grown over the past 10 years and 

the depth of the rental market at a local level. 

Overall across England and Wales the number of private 

rented households grew by just under two thirds from 2.6 

million to 4.2million between 2001 and 2011. Lucian Cook, 

director of residential research at Savills, points out that as 

younger households have faced increasing financial barriers 

to home ownership, the provision of social housing has been 

squeezed and the stigma around renting in higher income 

groups has been lost. 

Though the census data suggests the private rented sector 

accounts for 18% of all households across England and Wales 

as a whole, levels tend to be concentrated in urban areas. 

For example, across the five metropolitan boroughs of 

Birmingham, Leeds, Manchester, Liverpool and Bristol the 

number of private rented sector households has risen by 77% 

in 10 years such that they account for 23% of all households 

in these areas. 

In these areas, the profile of rental housing is dominated 

by one and two bedroom properties, that together account for 

63% of advertised rental stock, reflecting the dominance of 

young need based renters.

Nissan sets 

record in 

market place 

Nissan announced it achieved a 

record market share over the January- 

December 2012 period of 3.9%, up 

0.1% from 2011's figure. The market 

share growth came from 665,756 units 

sold in 2012 in an overall European car 

market that shrunk versus last year, 

when Nissan sold 683,813 units. Sales 

for the month of December totalled 

51,405 units. 

Investments in Nissan's key markets 

including the UK and Russia have paid 

dividends with Nissan registering yearon-year 

growth of 10% and 11% 

respectively. The UK also ended the 

year recording its best ever market 

share and sales volume. Nissan's 

Sunderland factory also surpassed the 

500,000 unit production milestone, 

making it the UK's most productive 

automotive plant. 

This success was also echoed across 

Europe with Nissan confirming its 

position as the best-selling Asian brand 

in Spain for the second consecutive 

year with a historic market share of 

5.2%. Elsewhere, a staggering 22 

European countries posted higher 

market shares in 2012 against 

increasingly competitive trading 

conditions as the European automotive 

market contracted during the year. 

Octavia is tops 

for economy 

The new ŠKODA Octavia (right) sets new 

standards in the compact segment. With 

unrivalled interior space, innovative safety and 

comfort systems, low fuel consumption, and a 

wide range of ʻSimply Cleverʻ solutions, the thirdgeneration 

Octavia sets the benchmark in every 

key area. 

The new generation Octavia adds more space, 

much more equipment, the latest technology and, 

of course, value for money. 

The new Octavia will be available in the UK 

with four advanced engine options: two petrol and 

two diesel. On sale in the UK from 16 March 

2013, prices for Octavia start from just £15,990, 

with Diesel versions starting from only £18,040. 

The most powerful diesel engine for the new 

Octavia is the 2.0 TDI 150 PS with fuel 

consumption of only 68.2mpg on the combined 

cycle. 

An even more economical GreenLine version 

Vauxhallʼs new full-size, four-seat convertible, 

the Cascada (above), will be priced from just 

£23,995 on-the-road – nearly £8,000 less than its 

main rival in the premium drop-top sector – when 

it arrives in showrooms this April. 

With the Audi A5 Cabriolet firmly in its sights, 

the Cascada offers affordability paired with 

outstanding levels of equipment, technology and 

luxury. It comes in two trims, with the entry level 

will follow later this year. Powered by an optimised 

1.6 TDI CR 110PS engine, the GreenLine version 

achieves CO2 emissions of only 89 g/km and 

returns 83mpg on the combined cycle, making it 

the cleanest and most fuel-efficient Octavia ever. 

In addition, a sporty Octavia vRS engine is under 

development, and will join the range at a later 

date. 

Drop dead drop top 

SE getting 18" alloy wheels, a sports chassis, 

LED tail lamps and aux-in/USB, all as standard. 

The Cascada will come with a broad range of 

powerful and efficient engines. Starting the line-up 

is a 1.4-litre (140PS) Turbo petrol, with a manual 

gearbox, achieving a combined 44.8mpg and 

148g/km CO2, and a 2.0-litre (165PS) diesel engine 

with manual and automatic transmissions, achieving 

up to 54.3mpg combined and 138g/km CO2. 

Hybrid in new Lexus line-up 

Lexus today revealed its all-new IS range (left), which will be launched in the 

UK this summer. The line-up includes the first full-hybrid IS, the IS 300h, together 

with the petrol-powered IS 250. 

The new IS benefits from a dozen Lexus-first features and technical 

innovations. It also showcases an all-new interior that combines Lexus quality 

and refinement with a more sporting and focused environment for the driver. 

There is also best-in-class space for rear seat passengers and a larger boot.

Sting in the tail 

from Chevrolet 

Chevrolet is redefining modern performance with todayʼs 

debut of the all-new Corvette Stingray. And only a Corvette 

with the perfect balance of technology, design and 

performance can wear the iconic Stingray designation. 

The 2014 Corvette Stingray is the most powerful standard 

model ever, with an estimated 450 horsepower (335 kW) and 

450 lb.-ft. of torque (610 Nm). It is also the most capable 

standard model ever, able to accelerate from 0-60 in less 

than four seconds and achieve more than 1g in cornering 

grip. It is expected to be the most fuel-efficient Corvette, 

exceeding the EPA-estimated 26 mpg of the current model. 

“Like the ʼ63 Sting Ray, the best Corvettes embodied 

performance leadership, delivering cutting-edge 

technologies, breathtaking design and awe-inspiring driving 

experiences,” said General Motors North America President 

Mark Reuss. “The all-new Corvette goes farther than ever, 

PAGE FORTY FIVE 

A SPECIAL TEST DRIVE REPORT FOR THE SELBY POST AND GOOLE TIMES 

Korando Sports brings a new level 

of refinement to the market place 

Korando Sports brings a new level of 

refinement to the market place, blending the 

suspension, engine and cabin finesse of a 

passenger car, the silhouette, space and 

seating for five that's typical of a double cab, 

and the rugged workmanlike ability of a 

commercial pick-up. 

This new Korando Sports will appeal to those 

who need a working vehicle, the practicality 

of 4 wheel drive, the towing capability to haul 

up to 2.3 tonnes yet also the appointments of 

a family car. Whether towing a work trailer or 

horsebox, ferrying the crew to site or the 

children to school, Korando Sports will meet 

a range of different demands. 

"As you would expect from SsangYong, the 

new Korando Sports is both keenly priced 

and comprehensively equipped," said Brian 

thanks to todayʼs advancements in design, technology and 

engineering.” 

The 2014 Corvette Stingray coupe goes on sale in the 

third quarter of 2013. 

Taylor sales manager of Ssang Yong at Brian 

Leighton Gararges. "From just £18,295 (incl 

VAT) you not only get a lot of vehicle for the 

money, but also a 5 year limitless mileage 

warranty. SsangYong is the only 

manufacturer to have that much confidence 

in its pick-up, which will give customers 

complete peace of mind. 

"SsangYong has a growing reputation for 

building extremely competent off-road 

vehicles, and the new Korando Sports builds 

on this pedigree. It's an honest, reliable and 

highly capable vehicle, and pound for pound 

will outclass many more expensive rivals." 

Two models - SX & EX 

There are two models from launch. The SXis 

extremely well appointed and comes 

equipped with 16" alloy wheels, tinted glass, 

air conditioning, leather covered steering 

wheel, remote central locking, Kenwood MP3 

CD & RDS radio with a USB & auxiliary port 

and Bluetooth connectivity. 

The EX features the luxury touch of leather 

upholstery with heated front seats, powered 

driver's seat, heated, electrically adjustable 

and power folding door mirrors and rear 

parking sensors. A 6 speed automatic 

transmission with cruise control is also 

available as an option. 

Creature comforts 

Inside the spacious cabin there's a light and 

airy environment thanks to the large front, 

side and rear windows, while the careful 

blending of black and metallic finishes along 

with an LED illuminated instrument cluster 

has created a smart and refined interior. 

With spacious accommodation for five adults 

- the rear passenger seat features a folding 

armrest and can be reclined by up to 29 

degrees, and there's also air conditioning and 

Bluetooth connectivity to ensure comfort and 

convenience on the move. 

Practicality 

As with every SsangYong, practicality is at the 

core of the new pick-up's appeal. A large, flat 

rear deck provides a 2.04m2 load area to take 

a Euro pallet, and comes complete with load 

deck liner and anchor points. An optional rigid 

Tasty offers through 

all Kia range 

Kia Motors (UK) Ltd has 

announced a range of 

competitive offers for the first 

quarter of 2013 including a 

yearʼs insurance for £99, 

customer savings and low rate 

finance deals. The popular 

Picanto city car (pictured) has 

up to £1,250 off the retail price, thereʼs up to £1,400 

off the Rio hatchback and up to £1,600 off the Venga B-segment MPV. 

The current pro_ceeʼd model has up to £3,000 off whilst the New Sorento 

SUV has an early buyer reward of £2,000 off across all versions. Savings 

on the New ceeʼd and New ceeʼd Sportswagon are generous too with up 

to a £1,000 discount for new customers whilst existing ceeʼd customers 

are entitled to a loyalty reward of up to £3,000 in lieu of all other offers. 

To make getting into a new Kia even easier thereʼs 4.9% PCP from 

Kia Access, as well as 4.9% finance, across the entire range and even 

0% finance available on Venga and Soul models. Further enhancing the 

Kia Access PCP promotion, the New ceeʼd and New ceeʼd Sportswagon 

are eligible for a £1,000 deposit contribution. 

A yearʼs insurance is available for just £99 on selected Picanto, Rio 

and ceeʼd models – an offer that can be combined with the other 

savings and finance deals on offer. 

hard top is available to provide weather 

protection and security to the load area, and 

features a hinged rear window that closes 

behind the tailgate so that the central locking 

secures and protects the contents. Styled 

and colour matched to complement the rest 

of the vehicle, the result is a neat design that 

ensures form and function, and not the 

'tacked on' afterthought of many retro-fit hard 

tops. There is also a full range of other 

accessories available from launch including 

two further load space covers. 

Safe, secure, sure footed 

Constructed on a separate frame chassis - 

the mark of a serious off-roader, the new 

Korando Sports offers a very rigid structure to 

help protect occupants in the event of a 

collision. Accident avoidance and a sure 

footed performance off road are also 

enhanced by the electronic stability 

programme (ESP) - a rare feature on most 

pick-ups but standard on Korando Sports, 

active roll-over protection (ARP) and hill start 

assist (HSA). 

5 year limitless mileage warranty 

As with all models in the SsangYong range, 

the new Korando Sports is covered by a best 

in class 5 year limitless mileage warranty. 

Designed to be totally transparent and give 

customers cornplete peace of mind, 'limitless' 

means just that: not a maximum mileage 

condition that some brands impose in their 

small print. 

All the major mechanical components are 

covered including wheel bearings, 

suspension joints and bushes, steering joints, 

shock absorbers and even the audio system. 

Wearable components such as clutch discs 

and brake friction materials which could have 

their life reduced by poor driving are covered 

for one year or 12,000 miles, and the battery 

and paintwork for three years. 

SsangYong 

SsangYong cars are manufactured in South 

Korea by SsangYong Motor Company, which 

is 70 per cent owned by the Indian 

engineering conglomerate Mahindra & 

Mahindra, and imported into the UK by 

SsangYong Motor UK. 

Power 

Delivering both performance and economy - 

up to 37.7 mpg on the Combined Cycle, 

Korando Sports is powered by SsangYong's 

latest e-XDi diesel engine. This new Euro 5, 

2 litre engine provides maximum power of 

155PS and peak torque of 360Nm delivered 

between 1,500rpm and 2,800rpm providing 

ample performance both on and off road, 

whatever the task. 

Multi-link rear suspension 

Unlike other pick-ups where the word 'truck' 

belies their more dated mechanical origins by 

utilising leaf springs, the SsangYong Korando 

Sports features a live rear axle supported by 

sophisticated five link suspension with coil 

springs to give a comfortable, car like ride. 

Style 

The fresh exterior design has been styled to 

reflect SsangYong's modern and efficient new 

look. From the front, it communicates a 

dynamic yet sophisticated appearance, 

featuring a mesh grille, trapezoidal bumper 

and stylish black headlight bezels to provide 

a premium touch. In profile, the sharp belt 

line runs to the rear bumper emphasising a 

sleek, sporty stance, while from the rear the 

wide glass area affords excellent rearward 

visibility.

Top flight night 

A charity darts night featuring fivetime 

world darts championship semifinalist 

Wayne Mardle, raise £1,380 for 

charity. 

Wayne 'Hawaii 5-0-1' Mardle hosted 

the charity darts exhibition last week on 

Friday, January 11, at Drax Sports and 

Social Club. 

The event was organised by Snaith 

Darts and Dominoes League in 

association with the Drax club and 

Irwin Mitchell Solicitors, and the money 

raised will go towards the 

Mesothelioma UK charity. 

The Mesothelioma UK Charitable 

Trust is a national resource centre 

dedicated to providing specialist 

information about the Mesothelioma 

disease. 

Ticket sales and fundraising attempts 

on the night reached the grand total of 

£1,380, and organisers said that the 

night went extremely well and Wayne 

enjoyed himself. 

Wayne Mardle has previously been 

described as perhaps the most 

charismatic and approachable 

professional darts player in the world 

today, and he did not disappoint on the 

night as he played members of the 

Snaith league and the winner of the 

charity raffle and even let some of them 

beat him! 

Wayne also delivered a talk at the 

end of the charity event before taking 

questions from the 140 strong audience. 

When competing professionally he 

was known as “Hawaii 5-0-1” and was 

the most sought after professional darts 

entertainer on the circuit by fans, 

tournament directors and TV 

executives. 

He has been a runner up at The 

World Matchplay, a losing finalist twice 

at the Las Vegas Dessert Classic and a 

semi finalist at the World 

Championships on five separate 

occasions! 

More recently, the 'larger than life 

character' has won praise from all 

quarters for his analytical and 

presenting roles for Sky TV at the World 

Darts Championship and at The 

McCoys Premier League. 

He has been compared with the late 

Sid Waddell by The Times and recently 

appeared on television commentating 

on this year’s PDC World 

Championship.

Tesco to prove every penny 

counts in cancer campaign 

Staff at the Tesco store in Selby are hoping members of the 

public will join them and take part in a special fundraising 

weekend to support Cancer Research UK's life-saving work. 

Residents and customers are invited to go along to the store 

and get involved in fundraising activities with staff on 

Saturday, February 2, and Sunday, February 3. 

The weekend is part of the Every Penny Counts scheme, 

where volunteering collections will take place at 800 Tesco 

stores around the UK throughout the fundraising weekend. 

Cancer Research UK and the Tesco store in Selby is now 

looking for enthusiastic and friendly people to come down to 

their local store to help out for just three hours - or more if 

they prefer. 

All money raised during the weekend, which coincides 

with a fortnight of fun superhero themed fundraising by 

Tesco staff, will contribute to the £10 million record target that 

Tesco are aiming to hit for Cancer Research UK, Tesco Charity 

of the Year. 

This will help support research into improving the early 

diagnosis and detection of cancer, helping to ensure more 

people receive treatment at a time when it is more likely to be 

successful. 

Caroline Silke, Cancer Research UK head of corporate 

fundraising said: “As a charity we are dependent on the 

support of volunteers to raise money to help fund our 

groundbreaking research. 

"The Every Penny Counts weekend is a fantastic 

opportunity to have fun and be a hero by helping to raise 

thousands of pounds towards our life-saving work to help 

more people beat cancer. 

“As well as raising vital funds you’ll also be doing your bit 

to raise awareness of Cancer Research UK’s work within your 

local community.” 

The money raised by Every Penny Counts will be spent on 

supporting 32 early diagnosis and detection research projects 

in local communities across the UK. 

Tesco and Cancer Research UK also aim to raise awareness 

of the signs and symptoms of the disease and reduce people’s 

anxiety about cancer. 

If you would like to sign up to take part in Every Penny 

Counts, you can do so online by visiting 

www.cancer.org.uk/tesco-collections or call 0203469 5121.

Arsonist 

PAGE FORTY SEVEN 

found 

carrying 

lighter 

A 15-year-old boy, who is currently 

awaiting sentence for arson, appeared in 

Selby Magistrates' Court last week, after 

his teacher discovered he was in 

possession of a lighter at school. 

The boy, who lives in the Selby area, 

is due to appear at Sheffield Crown 

Court on January 25 charged with three 

counts of attempting to commit arson 

with intent to endanger life, damaging 

and destroying property on Wednesday, 

November 30, 2011. 

He pleaded guilty to the offence of 

breaching his bail condition of not to 

possess a lighter at Selby Magistrates' 

Court on Thursday, January 10. 

The lighter was found on him on 

Monday, January 7, when a support 

worker had suspected him of smoking 

and ordered him to empty his pockets. 

Prosecuting, Sandra White, said: "He 

was arrested at about 8.10am this 

morning and given a stern warning. He 

is aware of his bail conditions as he has 

had them in place for well over a year 

now." 

Keith Haggerty, his defending 

solicitor said: "This is the first time he 

has been in breach of his bail 

conditions. I understand smoking 

among pupils is an endemic problem 

and he had been outside smoking with 

others." 

Presiding Magistrate, Hilary 

Gilbertson, said: "It seems you have 

done quite well at sticking to your bail 

conditions so far. The offences you are 

due to be sentence on are very serious. 

You must do everything possible to cooperate 

with the authorities. You need to 

be reminded of these conditions as you 

do not want to make the situation any 

worse, do you understand? You are very 

lucky you have come here with your 

grandparents who are supporting you." 

The boy was re-bailed on the same 

conditions, awaiting the hearing at 

Sheffield Crown Court. 

Attempted theft 

Police want the public's help in finding 

the men who tried to steal fuel from a 

wagon parked on an industrial estate 

in Whitley Bridge. 

The incident happened at The 

Maltings Industrial Estate last

SPORT 

Bridge too 

far for hosts 

Poppleton Panthers U13s 1, 

Riccall United U13s 6 

Riccall continued their good run with a 

fine display of football against their 

lower table opponents, poppleton 

Panthers on Sunday in the York and 

District league. 

Hat-trick hero, and man of the match, 

Jack Bridge opened the scoring when he 

latched onto a Brandon Graham pass 

and slotted home in style shortly 

followed by a great turn and switch of 

pace followed by a cool finish from 

Owen Butler to give the visitors an early 

2-0 lead. 

Keeper James Kozelko was called into 

action several times and pulled off 

several saves followed by Harry Free 

and Josh Ward making last ditch tackles 

frustrating the home team. 

The move of the game was the build 

up of Bridge’s second goal when Owen 

Butler played a 40 yard pass through the 

field to split the Poppleton defence to 

find the in-form scorer in full flow 

mode and finishing with perfection. 

Shortly before the break Poppleton 

pulled one back when a shot which was 

blocked by Kozelko, but falling nicely 

for the home team’s striker to slot home. 

The second half saw Bridge complete 

his hat-trick with a gutsy finish which 

earned him a round of applause from 

the away fans. 

The chances kept coming for the final 

quarter with Adam Darlyrimble 

supplying dangerous crosses and then 

finding himself in a shooting position, 

and hit the roof of the net with venom, 

followed shortly after by Jordy Moore 

completing the tally with probably the 

easiest goal he has ever scored with a 

simple tap in. 

Cameron Gabel was also jointly 

named man of the match for his 

energetic contribution at left back and 

there were plenty of other prominent 

displays.

Good signs 

in defeat 

Albion Sports 3 

Selby Town 0 

Selby Town returned to the playing field for the 

first time competitively since December 1 las 

Wednesday evening at Albion Sports, writs 

THOMAS ARKLEY. 

A first competitive game in six weeks, and only 

the second under the leadership of Ian Dring, who 

is beginning to put his stamp on the scene and his 

players made a good fight of it against the 

promotion-chasing Bradford outfit. 

They started the brighter of the two and looked 

the most likely to open the scoring with Albion, 

who had slipped slightly in their holiday games, 

pinned back in their own half for much of the first 

45 minutes. 

However top sides invariably find a way of 

turning things around, Flaherty was denied a goal 

opportunity for Sports after 20 minutes when his 

effort was well saved by Nathan Smith, (right 17- 

01-36 SU) the Robins’ debut keeper, and then 

when Greaves upended Facey in a crowded 

penalty area, it was Flaherty who rammed home 

the spot kick. 

The goal rocked Town briefly, but they still 

finished the half well, and on the balance deserved 

to be level. 

The second half started evenly, but Albion were 

starting to look threatening each time they had 

possession. Smith was forced into several good 

saves, but Albion scored a crucial second when 

poor defending allowed Facey to race down the 

left into the area, and shoot across Smith into the 

far corner. 

Now the Robins had to open up to get 

something from the game and exposed themselves 

at the back each time they lost the ball, but they 

kept going and in a promising move down the left 

Redfern got to the bye-line to cross, and although 

nothing came from it the player was left in a heap 

from a crunching tackle leading to a seven minute 

delay, but only a caution for the home player. 

Kamikaze defending by Selby in the latter stages 

could well have increased the scoreline in the 

Thorpe United U14s 1 

Horsforth 5 

The Thorpe game plan to contain 

Horsforth worked perfectly in the first 

half of Sunday’s game, the visitors 

having lots of possession without 

causing any real problems to a patched 

up home outfit missing a number of 

players. 

Thorpe were kept pegged into their 

own half for long periods, as the 

Horsforth side forced a series of freekicks, 

unable to find a way through the 

stubborn defence. 

Jamie Pickles in the Thorpe wall 

blocked one set piece, the Horsforth 

follow-up was blasted well over. 

Lewis Griffiths and Shaun 

Heselwood were both forced into good 

clearances as the visitors continued to 

press. Alex Ward tipped over a well 

struck effort; he also claimed the ball 

from the resulting corner. 

hosts favour beyond a third goal late on which did 

seal the win. 

The lack of match practice and new players 

showed in this performance. but if you take the 

positives from the game there was not much 

between the two sides. 

Games don’t get any easier 

The Robins, who had a free week after their 

Tuesday postponement, have another hard task 

this Saturday when they travel to Louth Town, 

kick off 3pm. 

It is still a getting to know you exercise for 

manager Ian Dring, who has introduced several 

new faces to those existing at the Rigid Group 

Stadium, and there was plenty to enthuse in 

defeats at Albion, and at home to Hemsworth on 

Saturday, unfortunately the results went against 

them and the gap at the bottom widened. 

A quick throw from Jordan Todd into 

Richard Buckthorpe forced Horsforth 

back on a rare occasion, the latter 

finding Corey Littlefield, but his ball 

into Sean Hymers which split the 

defence, eventually saw it recover after 

Pickles was crowded out by strong 

defending. 

Domonik Stankiwicz and David 

Melling linked well to keep Thorpe 

pushing forward, Buckthorpe receiving 

the ball and running at the Horsforth 

defence, but once more strong 

defending proved too much for the 

Thorpe strikers. 

Ward was then forced into a good 

stop, Haydn Brown on hand to 

complete the clearance and he set 

Littlefield away; who held the ball up 

well winning a throw-in deep in the 

Horsforth half; and from Griffiths’ long 

throw, he scored against the run of play. 

The Thorpe players failed to follow 

the same game plan in the second half 

SELBY POST SPORT 

and were punished with five goals 

conceded. 

The warning signs were always 

there, and they were on terms within 

minutes of the restart, a powerful run 

went unchecked and an excellent strike 

left Ward helpless. 

Their second came moments later, 

Stankiwicz exposed in defence, the 

striker too strong and again an 

unstoppable shot left Ward stranded. 

They didn’t have long to wait for 

their third as Thorpe were again caught 

out by fine football, the Horsforth 

strikers picking their passes and Ward 

beaten for a third time. 

Thorpe did relieve the pressure 

briefly, Littlefield holding the ball up 

well before releasing Buckthorpe who 

saw his shot deflected for a corner; but 

the danger was cleared from Melling’s 

deflected shot. 

A good through ball from Griffiths 

released Hymers, his effort cleared for a 

Two good 

wins for 

Thorpe lads 

Thorpe U9 (Blue) 4, Elvington U9s 1 

A boggy pitch did not deter these two sides producing a 

fantastic first game of two, to start their New Year. 

It was Thorpe who opened the scoring with good work 

down the right by Jack Hughes, who cross found Charlie 

Dutton and his first time shot found the corner. 

Elvington pressed forward looking for an equaliser and 

forced keeper Callum Balderson into several fine saves. On 

one of those attacks, Sam Tuck broke up play then found Tyler 

Matthewman for him to side step his man and hit an 

unstoppable shot into the net on the counter. 

With the half coming to an end, Elvington put together a 

good move and well taken goal to reduce the deficit. 

Thorpe came out for the second half looking to add to their 

advantage with well worked moves, and it wasn’t long before 

a cracking ball by Ben Hudson to Sam Oldfield saw him fire 

home. With a two-goal cushion the confidence started to 

show and after further pressure, Joshua Lyssens won the ball 

and played it through to Oldfield who finished off giving 

Thorpe a well deserved victory. 

United Man of the Match: Charlie Dutton for excellent play 

down the left throughout, and a well taken goal. 

Thorpe (Blue) 4, Elvington U9s 1 

Both teams hit top gear straight from the off in the friendly, 

with end to end football which was keeping goalkeeper Luke 

Matthews busy with fine saves. 

It took until midway through the half for the deadlock to be 

broken by Elvington. 

Thorpe started determined to get the equaliser and after 

much pressure, Billy Simpson picked the ball up and played 

the killer ball to Elliot Wright, who placed it past the visiting 

keeper. The half finished with no more goals but with plenty 

of action. 

The second half saw Thorpe start to dominate and a move 

involving Callum Balderson getting down the line found 

Corbin Purcell, who was coming in at the back post, and he 

picked his spot. 

Elvington looked to get back into the game, but this opened 

it for Thorpe to play into the space and when Sophie Rhodes 

won the ball she saw Wright and played him through for him 

to take it on and collect his second of the game. 

To finish off a magnificent game of football a move ending 

with Sam Oldfield knocking it past the keeper and putting it 

into the goal. 

Man of the Match: Billy Simpson, who broke up play well, 

and distributed equally so. 

Second half lesson in finishing 

corner; Littlefield’s corner met by 

Stankiwicz who saw his shot drift just 

wide. 

Thorpe were then awarded an 

indirect free-kick; Littlefield laying the 

ball into Griffiths, who saw his 

powerful strike hit the keepers legs and 

bounce clear; Horsforth were quick to 

break and caught the hosts lacking in 

numbers at the back, and as todd 

looked to have stopped the raid, the 

ball fell kindly for the visiting striker to 

settle the outcome. 

A fine through ball from man of the 

match Jordan Todd set Littlefield free, 

he won and took a corner that was 

headed over by Griffiths. 

However the damage wasn’t over 

yet, an intercepted goal-kick caught the 

Thorpe players out of position, 

Horsforth capitalising to score their 

fifth and inflict a heavy defeat on the 

home side.

Selby Ladies 4,

Selby Ladies returned to the artificial

welcoming a young energetic looking 

Sheffield side to Escrick on Saturday. 

The time off may just have been the 

recipe they required, although it was a 

close run thing in an entertaining game. 

The game was evenly matched in the 

opening half with both sides having 

chances to take the lead, but it was 

Selby side that did. 

Charlie Lidstone-Scott finished a 

well-worked move, with a spectacular 

reverse flick over the Hallam keeper. 

However, it wasn’t long before 

Hallam equalised with a text book goal 

stretching the Selby keeper Jenny Kirton 

across her posts. 

Selby regrouped, but Hallam were on 

a roll and soon went from one goal 

down to one goal in front, leaving the 

half time score 2-1 to Hallam. 

Selby used the half time break well, 

positive about the 35 minutes ahead, 

and with several changes, forced 

Hallam into their own half. 

Vanessa Crane was on form to cause 

havoc in the Hallam ‘D’ and they won a 

penalty corner, Franii Brooks found 

Jenni Davey on the top of the ‘D’, who in 

turn slipped to Crane on the right and 

she lashed home past the keeper. 

New girl Chloe Brown was 

introduced against the opposing 

defence, and scored on debut, Lidstone- 

Scott and Sara Coverdale worked it 

well, the latter finding an unmarked 

Brown, who kept her cool. 

Jenni Davey made it 4-2 with a neat 

flick over the keeper, but they couldn’t 

relax especially as the visitors forced a 

penalty corner, in which they scored, 

however they didn’t have time to 

celebrate as the final whistle went, so it 

was a cheerful afternoon for the Selby 

Ladies. 

The player of the match vote was 

shared between Angie O’Mahoney and 

Alice Wood. A big well done to all of the 

team for a fantastic team performance. 

Selby have two games this weekend, 

when On Saturday they travel to top of 

the league Sheffield Bankers and on 

Sunday they entertain second place 

Northallerton at home. 

Sherburn Bears 24 

West Bowling ‘A’ 28 

Sherburn’s indifferent form of the last 

six matches or so continued at Eversley 

Park on Saturday, knocked out of the 

Pennine Supplementary Cup by a 

fancied West Dowling ‘A’, writes MATT 

ORFORD. 

They lost the game in the closing 

minutes, despite leading the match from 

the start, and more disappointing was that 

they could not replicate last season’s semi 

final appearance. 

The Bears played up the slope at 

against one of the title contenders for 

Division Six, lying just behind the hosts 

with games in hand. 

They were a youthful looking side, and 

matched Sherburn in the opening 10 

minutes, but the hosts truck first with 

back rower Adam Withington scoring a 

great try following an excellent midfield 

break, captain and scrum half Martin 

Leahy added the extras to give them a 6-0 

lead. 

Bowling struck back within five 

minutes with a good score from the side 

of the ruck a metre from the try line, 

following a couple of penalties from the 

home team. 

The game became feisty now and 

tempers flared when a Sherburn player 

copped a cheap shot whilst trying to 

regain his feet from a tackle, as usual the 

Bears came of worse from the situation, 

with one player red carded and one 

seeing yellow for an innocuous incident, 

the visitors somehow escaping with just a 

yellow. 

This didn’t seem to dampen the Bears’ 

spirits though as they scored straight from 

the penalty, strong drives from forwards 

Martin Jackson, Steve Gudgeon, Joel 

Booth and Rhys Hughes paving the way 

for Louis Stead to put a delicate grubber 

kick into the in goal which was pounced 

on by alert fullback Danny Wood, Leahy 

with the extras to put the Bears back in 

front, 12-6 

Bowling responded from the restart, 

pushing the ball wide and the wingman 

raced through to score with a conversion 

to level up. 

Sherburn were ahead a third time, 

when after a period of relative calm, a 

block busting run by centre Johnboy 

Fenwick saw him crash over, after an 

excellent midfield break freed him 20 

yards out. The conversion was missed but 

with the slope in their favour after the 

break, a 16-12 lead was useful. 

However on the return, sloppy 

handling and cheap penalties saw the 

visitors level up with a try inside five 

minutes. 

Sherburn, through good work from 

Kevin Dalton, Ben Pugh, Ben Appleby, 

Kev Jordan and Rhys Hughes rallied, but 

a try in the bottom corner was ruled out as 

Joel Booth carried four over the line with 

him, and still the Bears pressured Bowling 

looking for a score. 

The visitors were penned in their own 

half with Stead, Leahy and Jordan pulling 

the strings, a second try was ruled out 

with Jackson adjudged to have been held 

up at the side of the sticks the Bears 

coming agonisingly close with hooker 

Shaun Crossland stopped just inches 

short of the line on two occasions. 

They did score eventually with strong 

running back rower Craig Baker scoring 

after diving on another excellent grubber 

from Stead, Leahy again unsuccessful 

with the conversion to give the Bears the 

lead once more at 20-16. 

Sherburn were in complete control of 

the game now, and again soon found 

themselves in Bowling half, the Bradford 

outfit were clinging onto the home teams 

shirt tails now and were conceding a 

number of penalties to try and slow the 

Bears down, twice in front of the sticks the 

Bears elected to kick with Leahy adding 

both to take the score to 24-16. 

However from seemingly having the 

match won the Bears self destructed, 

sloppy handling saw the ball go to ground 

when Sherburn should have been 

concentrating on keeping Bowling in their 

own half with deep kicks, quick hands 

Mixed cup 

success for 

the Warriors 

Selby Warriors’ two teams had mixed success as 

they started the year of 2013 in cup action at the 

weekend. 

The firsts were in the Andrew Bennett Memorial 

trophy, which they won in 2011 and made it 

through to the next round with a 26-12 win over 

Troydale Trojans. 

The side are in transition this term, but are still 

handily placed in Division Three of the Pennine 

League and a cup run would help boost the 

remainder of the current campaign. 

In the Supplementary Cup, the ‘A’ team went 

down 52-12 to Crofton Cougars as they look to 

blood more youngsters in the remainder of the 

season and try to maintain the progress made in 

recent years. 

Weather permitting, the firsts travel to Silsden 

this Saturday and the ‘a’ team entertain Illingworth 

‘A’. 

from Bowling saw them score out wide, a 

good conversion saw the scores brought 

back to 24-22 with five minutes left. 

Again Sherburn coughed up easy 

metres with some soft penalties in 

Bowlings half, and again Bowling 

punished the Bears when once more the 

tiring home defence ran out of number 

out wide, where Bowling made their extra 

body count, adding the conversion 

Bowling hit the front for the first time in 

the match with just two minutes left to 

play. 

Despite throwing the kitchen sink at 

the visitors in the last minute the Bradford 

outfit held firm to take the win and go 

through to the next round of the cup, 

leaving a bitterly disappointed Bears to 

rue what could have been in a game of 

missed opportunities for the second week 

running. 

Best for the Bears on the day was 

Willets Kitchens man of the match Matt 

Orford, the hard working prop putting in 

a good stint for a player of his vintage. 

Sherburn face a tough task to get back 

to winning ways when the travel away to 

title contenders Kinsley Raiders on

Man of the Match for Cliffe Reserves, aaron lees, on the ball in a 

tussle with a Tadcaster Town opponent in his sideʼs 2-0 home 

defeat in Minster Engineering League Section ʻDʼ on Saturday. 

(17-01-30 SU) by Cliffefc.com. 

Brayton Belles Res. 2 

Huddersfield Tn. Res. 1 

The Belles reserves entertained a 

strong Huddersfield side, in their first 

game of 2013, a team who had only 

lost one game this season. 

But whilst their opponents had the 

lion’s share of possession, it was the 

Belles who scored with their first attack 

when a through ball from Laura 

Whitaker was collected by Jodie Cliff 

who calmly beat the keeper from close 

range. After 30 minutes keeper 

Michelle Morton made what was one 

of the best of a string of great saves, 

low down to her left and the half closed 

at 1-0. 

As the second half progressed the 

visitors pressed forward and scored an 

equaliser, but the Belles showed their 

resilience and hit back immediately, 

when a shot from Anya Limbert struck 

the bar and came out for Jodie Cliff 

who, despite seeing her first shot saved 

by the keeper, followed up and put the 

ball in the net. 

The closing stages saw siege 

conditions around the home goal, but 

the Belles maintained their shape, 

commitment and effort and held on for 

a well deserved win. 

Player of the match went to keeper 

Michelle Morton, who was ably 

supported by all her team mates. 

Malet Lambert U16s 3,

Belles, with a previous defeat since 

the New Year, hoped to come back 

strong against yet another tough team, 

however as the game kicked off Belles 

received an early wake-up call with 

Malet scoring within the first minute.

Reserves rue 

their missed 

chances 

Cliffe FC Reserves 0 

Tadcaster Town Reserves 2 

After the lion’s share of goalscoring chances, 

Cliffe FC Reserves lost 2-0 to Tadcaster Town 

Reserves in Saturday’s Section ‘D’ Minster 

Engineering league clash, writes MALCOLM 

BRYCE. 

Dave Hebson’s side will feel unlucky to 

come away without a point from a game that 

saw them hit the woodwork at least twice and 

numerous near-misses gone begging. 

It was a special left foot shot that opened the 

scoring for Tadcaster before half-time, rifling 

into the top corner before the break to give the 

visitors the lead. 

Ben Rawson came close a couple of times for 

Cliffe, and Aaron Lees was a thorn in the 

Hasselman to give them a fighting 

chance. 

Exhausted Belles still kept the game 

alive, Emily Morton, who was captain 

and leading by example kept Brayton 

in the game pulling off numerous 

amazing saves that no other keeper 

would have saved. 

After half an hour Belles made their 

first change swapping Beth Vickers for 

Lauren Thompson at left back. With 

fresh legs in defence Belles defended 

well and just to strengthen the back 

four another change two minutes later 

with Flow Brown making way for 

Sarah Huggins in centre back. 

The game still level as it approached 

half time. but Emily Morton suffered a 

boot to the face when coming out for a 

corner, she still carried on and kept the 

team spirit high. 

At half time the Belles made a 

visiting side with his hard work down the right 

wing. 

Cliffe continued to carve out chances during 

the second half, calling the keeper into action a 

few times also testing the woodwork a couple 

of times – Rawson and Nathan Parker the 

unlucky ones. 

Town did make it 2-0 in the second half, a 

solo effort that took a horrible bounce in-front 

of the keeper to double the lead. 

A frustrating day all round for Hebson’s 

side, including the returning Jay Grundy, who 

couldn't take advantage of a couple of closerange 

chances, on another day they could have 

won the game comfortably – not taking 

anything away from Tadcaster Town who took 

their chances neatly either side of the interval. 

Unbeaten run continues for Featherstone 

Featherstone Colliery 2 

Knaresborough Town 0 

Featherstone Colliery won for the 12th 

game in a fantastic spell that has seen 

them lose only one game in 15 as visitors 

Knaresborough were sent packing in 

Saturday’s West Yorkshire League 

Division Two clash. 

In reality it was their first game since 

December 1, and due to illness and work 

had to put a team together just before the 

start. 

They made the brighter start and were 

unlucky not to take the lead 30 seconds in 

to the game with good passing and fine 

link up play involving Gaz Ward, Kieron 

O’Toole and Kyle Macdonald that saw 

Sam Harrison go close. 

The visitors were allowed back in, 

perhaps as a result of a lack of match 

activity and for half an hour, they 

commanded things but Featherstone 

survived. 

Macdonald and Michael Seed found 

loads of room down both flanks and 

numerous crosses were played into the 

danger area once they were back on track, 

and the pressure finally showed as Sam 

Harrison added to his tally for the season. 

Town looked for an equaliser, but Luke 

Frankland, having his best game of the 

season, commanded his box and snuffed 

out any aerial threat from the North 

Yorkshire outfit. 

Featherstone were now completely on 

top Simon Davis moving the ball around 

well and causing Towns back line all 

kinds of problems Scott Ellam seeing a 

shot tipped on to the bar, Ward seeing a 

similar shot also tipped over the pressure 

continued to mount and Davis was 

awarded with Featherstone’s second. 

Illness hit the team and Ward had to be 

substituted for Pearson, who had rushed 

from Manchester Airport and soon after 

Ellam had to come off with tight 

hamstrings handing a debut for reserve 

team player James Dunn, who credited 

himself well. 

Town looked a stronger team than last 

time the two sides met and the three new 

players signed before the game looked 

good additions. 

Manager Iain Macdonald said after the 

game: ‘’An hour before kick off things 

were so bad I had to name myself on the 

bench, Pearson rang me from the airport 

and O named him on the bench. 

“the lads played well and it was a good 

performance over all but you could see 

they had not played for five week.’’ 

This report may not have been 

intended for us, but we are only too 

pleased to feature anyone from the 

edge of the Selby Post circulation area, 

and indeed those who don’t from 

within, as well. Sports Ed. 

Great scalp for Belles’ reserves 

tactical change with Lauren Thompson 

switching to right wing and Ellie 

Comerford taking the left back role and 

not too later on Flow Brown replaced 

Meghan Crossland in centre mid field. 

Both teams still fought hard before 

the Belles conceded midway through 

second half. 

After 70 minutes, Belles made 

another change with Ellie Comerford 

introduced for Beth Vickers at left back, 

together with Meghan Crossland 

replacing Georgia Bromley In centre 

mid followed by Flow dropping in 

centre back. 

However, five minutes later, Belles 

conceded with the final score ending 3- 

1 to Malet. 

For the second week running Emily 

Morton received player of the match 

for her yet again outstanding 

performance.

Lively start 

as Pool 

returns after 

break 

Week eight of the ETS (UK) Ltd 

Monday Night Pool League, saw us 

reach the end of the first third of this 

season with some cracking matches on 

paper between old foes and local 

rivals. 

The two top ties were played at the 

Griffin where The Griffin took on 

Olympia and Griffin Sharks played host 

to The Fox. The Olympia team didn't get 

off to a great start, only winning 1 out of 

the first 8 frames before sharing the final 

4 to finish with a 9-3 loss. This opened 

the door for the Sharks to leapfrog them 

in the league table if they could get a 

good result against the Fox. It was a 

match that went one way and then the 

other with the scores being tied at 1-1, 2- 

2, 3-3 and 5-5, however it was the Sharks 

that then took the last two frames to win 

the match 7-5 and secure 3rd place in the 

league at the one third mark. 

It was a similar story out at The New 

Inn (Barlby) where they were playing 

host to Griffin Destroyers, with the 

match being tied at 2-2, 3-3 and 5-5. 

Danny Harrison then took the 

Destroyers onto the hill before John 

Lister levelled it up again to make the 

final score 6-6. 

The final match of the week was the 

battle of Hemingbrough with the Crown 

taking on the Fox and Pheasant and it 

was the Crown that came away as 9-3 

winners. 

Finally, as we have now all played 

each other once, the handicaps in the 

handicap league will be reassessed so as 

to make it a lot fairer between ALL the 

teams and give everyone a chance of 

walking away with the title.

Eager to 

perform after 

long break 

Malton Under 16s 0, Selby 

RUFC Under 16s 22 

A cohesive performance from 16 well 

rested players produced yet a further 

improvement on the previous outing 

for Selby Under 16s.. 

Despite a lack of numbers, a great 

team spirit demonstrated excellent 

communications throughout. 

Selby scored early, Drew Foster 

powering is way through from a 

clearance kick, going over to score and 

Scott Hunt converted on five minutes. 

Malton tried to respond, but the 

young Swans’ commitment at the 

breakdowns was excellent, and after 20 

minutes a heavily driven maul provided 

Andy McLoughlin the chance to go over 

for a 12-0 lead. 

McLoughlin did a fabulous job of 

shipping quick and slow ball (when 

necessary), to compensate home power 

in the scrum, the backs enjoying the 

accuracy of passing and freedom to run, 

and reward was at hand after the break, 

when Jacob Burke went over for yet 

another try this campaign. This was his 

first of the match which could have 

turned into four if it had not been for the 

Malton defence which put three/four 

guys on him. 

It was pleasing to see the back row 

linking up so well on numerous 

occasions however on one break away 

the back row gained some 20 metres 

taking Selby from their defensive zone 

into a position of offence within Malton 

territory. The interchanging was clear to 

see as was the clear loud oral supporting 

communication from all three of them. 

Further strong but sometimes 

understated performances from Caolan 

Smart, Tom Wright and Ben Stewart 

(repeatedly hitting the target man at line 

outs) with Dom Leighton stepping up to 

prop ably supported by the ever high 

achiever Tom Richardson. 

It was then left up to McLoughlin to 

cap of a fine individual performance by 

scoring a second try following relentless 

work from Oliver Lockett who 

successfully charged down a clearance 

kick in Malton's 22. in support, to drop 

on to the ball to score and the 22-0 win 

was a good reflection on an excellent day 

for the team. 

Simple and very effective rugby, true 

team spirit, truly and simply a joy to 

watch guys. 

Not rugby’s finest 80 minutes 

Selby 2nd XV 89 

Roundhegians III 0 

A game of rugby that should not 

have been played writes PAUL 

GABEL. 

Politics in a rugby club should not 

be allowed and when Roundhegians’ 

third team are far better than their 

second team, it doesn’t feel right, 

never the less the game went ahead 

with a white wash from the Selby side 

resulting in a 89-0 win. 

Selby started the game keeping ball 

in hand and was soon evident that the 

opposition had nothing to offer when 

Saunders was able to skip around 

several Roundhegian players as if he 

was out for an afternoon stroll. With 

the off load to supporting Selby 

Roundhegians 21 

Selby 1st XV 33 

Selby followers were advised of a 

potential banana skin awaiting at 

Roundhegians on Saturday in Yorkshire 

Two, but despite shipping 21 points, an 

improved second half show brought 

home important promotion points, 

writes STEPHEN WARD. 

After an ordinary first half 

performance against a side, admittedly 

much improved from their 57-12 defeat at 

Sandhill Lane in early autumn, the 

Swans ran out deserving bonus point 

winners in a thrilling encounter where 

the lead changed hands on five occasions. 

With Andrew Pocklington and 

Matthew Wood both unavailable, skipper 

Duncan Hardy started at prop with 

Martin Protheroe at No. 8 – Mark Tanner, 

Iain Adamson and Oliver O’Brien started 

on the bench. 

Selby were almost ahead in the 

opening minute after a charge down on 

the Roundhegians ‘22’, but play was 

brought back for a penalty to the hosts 

for a Swans player ‘going in at the side’ of 

a ruck. 

They did go ahead after 11 minutes 

when full back Dan Porter brilliantly 

turned defence into attack after fielding a 

deep kick in his own ‘22 and making 50 

metres with a mazy run to release Alex 

Webster, Karim Brown and James 

Blaymire for Hardy to stroll in under the 

posts for the try converted by Josh Cruise. 

Roundhegians levelled after turning 

over possession on the Selby 30 metre line 

and spreading the ball wide for winger 

Elliot Jackson to power over for the try – 

scrum half Alex Jones converted to bring 

the scores level. 

A poor mistake from the visitors after 

28 minutes, saw a pass go to ground, 

players resulted in the first try of the 

day going to stalwart Ed Clark with 

three minutes gone. 

Once again at the restart Selby were 

able to punch hole after hole through 

the none existent defence leaving 

Saunders an easy try out wide just 

eight minutes in. 

This looked to be a good day for 

Selby when from a scrum, young No. 

8, Phillips was able to pick up and use 

his twinkle toes to shrug of two 

tacklers and pass the ball out to the 

awaiting backs for yet again a gifted 

try by Saunders. 

With Booth showing his ability as a 

loose head prop for the first time, 

controlling the scrums while veteran 

Godfrey cornered them at tight head. 

Selby was able to dominate freely and 

allowing centre Tim Smith to hack on and 

collect and to run unopposed over the 

line for the try improved by Alex Jones 

putting Roundhegians in front 14-7. 

Mark Tanner replaced Tom Bell at prop 

after 33 minutes, and six minutes later, on 

the stroke of half time, Selby drew level 

after smart work from winger Ben Lunt 

and flanker Jacob Robinson putting 

hooker Josh Greenfield in for the first of 

his hat-trick on the afternoon, with Cruise 

once again converting. 

Roundhegians could have gone into 

the break three points in front, but Jones 

missed the 40 metre chance after the 

Swans had been penalised for being in 

front of the kicker from a penalty of their 

own – as it was the scores were level 14all 

A great run by flanker Robinson three 

minutes into the second half put Selby on 

the attack with big Martin Protheroe 

making massive inroads into the home 

defence before centre Sam Weller went 

over for a well-deserved first try of the 

season – Cruise missed the conversion, 

but Selby were ahead. 

This lead was short-lived, however, 

with Roundhegians straight back on the 

attack and creating a huge overlap for 

winger Jackson to score his second try of 

the afternoon – Jones kicked an excellent 

conversion to give his side the lead 21-19. 

O’Brien replaced Protheroe after 53 

minutes with Selby regaining the lead 

three minutes later with Greenfield on 

hand to take the final pass and score near 

the posts with Cruise converting. 

With Adamson on for Alex Webster 

after 64 minutes and Protheroe returning 

for the tireless Karim Brown 10 minutes 

later, Selby put the result beyond doubt 

after 77 minutes when young winger 

Charlton McCoy made a brilliant run 

adventurously. 

Strong direct running from 

Langahan making great yards putting 

the visitors on the back foot allowing 

a rare opportunity for supporting M. 

Wass to touch down over the line. 

Credit to Roundhegians as they stuck 

at it but only to keep kicking 

possession away when maybe they 

should have stuck it up their jumpers 

to test the Selby defence. 

The counter attack was always 

going to produce some good flowing 

rugby from forwards and backs. How 

true this was when captain Lamb was 

able to cross over for his first try of the 

new year with no opposition to beat. 

The start of the second half was 

undoubtedly the best Selby could 

have had and again summed up the 

deep into the Roundhegians defence 

before putting hooker Greenfield in for 

his hat- trick of tries and his 10th of the 

season – Cruise converted for the bonus 

point win to keep the pressure on leaders 

Doncaster Phoenix. 

Despite one or two defensive alarms 

on the day, they have the best points 

against record in the division. With a 

home game against Moortown this 

opposition, when on came retired 

veteran Jason Cicero. A second rower 

of this magnitude was still able to out 

fox the visitors by taking the ball from 

the kick off, headed towards the try 

line from the half way just like a 

vintage traction engine would have in 

days gone by. 

All this while selling the most 

outrageous dummy to the opposite 

winger and full back to score in the 

corner. 

The floodgate then opened up for 

Selby and a flurry of tries by Liddle, 

McHale, Saunders, Lamb, Oliver and 

Phillips with added conversions by 

Torn made the game finish at 89-0. 

A good day for Selby seconds, but 

on the face of it a bad day for rugby. 

Swans overcome 

first half blues 

weekend, followed by another home 

game against Sheffield Medicals, Selby 

should be capable of keeping the pressure 

cranked up on the League leaders. 

A busy time at Sandhill Lane, sees 

Selby start their Senior Vase, 

Twickenham? adventure on February 2 

with against Northumberland and 

Durham Division Two Club, Winlaton 

Vulcans, weather permitting of course.



Two-goal lead 

thrown away 

Selby RSSC 2 

Easingwold Town 3 

Selby RSSC went into Saturday’s minster 

Engineering Premier Division clash with 

Easingwold at Denison Road, knowing the 

importance of a good performance and more 

importantly, the result. 

They welcomed back Simpson, Wood and Sykes 

following injuries and suspensions giving them a 

big lift, and a two-goal lead looked to be giving 

them the vital league points to keep out of danger, 

alas it didn’t finish as well. 

Simpson and Wood looked sharp at full back in 

the early stages, working well with Page and 

Coxon. Meanwhile Hopkins and Teale looked 

strong in the midfield giving RSSC that much 

needed bite they have been missing for several 

weeks. Muscroft was involved in a lot of the play 

too as he linked well with the wide men and 

Blackwell up top. 

Easingwold stuck to their task, and although 

they caused little threat at this stage, there was 

always that feeling it could change sometime. 

It was a relief when Muscroft broke the deadlock 

after 20 minutes, Coxon’s shot was only parried by 

the visiting keeper and fell at the feet of the striker, 

who lashed home with a thunderous shot into the 

top corner. 

RSSC maintained the pressure and came close 

with chances from Coxon and Blackwell. At the 

other end Montgomery was as good as a spectator 

with his defence marshalling the visiting attack 

well. 

RSSC extended the lead on the stroke of half 

time with great play. Simpson carrying the ball out 

of defence, he released Coxon who used Simpson’s 

overlap to create the space needed to attack the 

Easingwold defence. A quick one-two with 

Hemingbrough Utd. Res. 2 

Thorpe United Res. 0 

Hemingbrough reserves recorded their 

third straight victory in Section ‘C’ of the 

Minster Engineering League with a hard 

fought win against a spirited Thorpe 

side in this local ‘derby’. 

The opening exchanges of Saturday’s 

were scrappy with both sides struggling 

to gain the upper hand. 

The home side finally settled and 

started to ask questions of a Thorpe 

backline, who defended well throughout. 

Mikey Brown thought he had opened 

the scoring on 15 minutes, but he was 

penalised for an earlier infringement, as 

‘Boro kept knocking at the door looking 

for the breakthrough. 

Adie Wood then headed wide from a 

Liam Hallam corner, when he perhaps 

should have done better. Moments later 

and the same player wasted another 

opportunity when put through by Danny 

Young. 

The second half saw the home side 

quick out of the traps, with neat 

distribution, but they could not unlock the 

Muscroft released him one on one with the keeper, 

before he unselfishly squared for Blackwell to slot 

away. 

The start to the second half saw RSSC looking 

dangerous once more as Blackwell twice went 

close to extending the advantage, the second of 

which saw his chip agonisingly wide of the post. 

Page and Coxon looked to attack a lot more too out 

wide and Muscroft carried on running the game 

from deep. Hopkins and Teale kept things tidy in 

the middle showing signs of a solid partnership in 

the making. 

However, Easingwold kept battling away and 

got their rewards when they pulled a goal back, 

the striker slotting home unmarked much to the 

frustration of the home team who were well on top 

at this point. 

The goal spurred the visitors on and they looked 

to be getting back into the game. Changes were 

made as Hopkins came off for Barrett and Teale 

was then off for Cawkill, but despite their impact 

Easingwold kept grafting and the equaliser came 

when another attack saw the danger not dealt with 

and a scuffed shot beat Montgomery. 

Friar was brought on for Page as RSSC looked to 

get the winner, but the plan backfired as 

Easingwold countered and scored the winning 

goal, a similar goal to their first, and a winning 

position blown away. 

RSSC saw themselves let a 2-0 lead slip against a 

side that barely tested them for an hour, and can 

only blame themselves as they are allowing 

themselves to get dragged into the relegation dog 

fight and lacking experience in the top flight, it is 

a position that they need to get out of sooner 

rather than later. 

Man of the Match went to Muscroft who had a 

fine game as per usual. Coxon looked well too as 

did Simpson and Wood. 

visiting defence who proved difficult to 

breakdown. 

At the other end, the back line of 

Collins, Dack and Gautrey had to be on 

their toes at times to protect keeper Matty 

Milburn with solid defence. 

With 20 minutes remaining, ‘Boro’s 

patience finally paid off as Wood twisted 

and turned in the area before slotting past 

the Thorpe keeper, and ten minutes later 

he put the game beyond doubt meeting 

Adam Fulcher’s corner to head home at 

the far post. 

This run of good form will now give the 

team huge confidence going into 

Saturday’s clash away at league leaders 

Malton and Norton. 

Danny Young and Adie Wood shared 

the Crown Man of the Match. 

Hambleton 3, Hemingbrough 

United (Sunday) 2 

(aet 90 min. score 2-2) 

Hemingbrough’s Sunday side were 

unlucky to be on the end of a late extra 

time winner to be denied a place in the 

semi-finals of the Senior Challenge 

Trophy at Hambleton.. 

The visitors were hampered at first 

with the no show of Tom Collins, meaning 

change in formation and players having 

to play in places where they wouldn’t 

usually. 

Despite this they started brightly and 

were ahead within the first 15 minutes, a 

through ball by Neil Darley was 

misjudged by the Hambleton defender 

allowing Luke Zacharenko to burst 

through and place the ball past the keeper. 

Boro played some beautiful fast 

flowing passing throughout the first half 

with Darley, Bentley and Dan Collins 

pulling the strings in the middle of the 

park. As the half went on Hambleton 

became increasingly more into the game 

and they looked dangerous on a number 

of occasions. Fortunately for Boro their 

finishing didn’t match the openings they 

had created. 

United were then dealt a huge hammer 

blow as Hambleton scored right at the 

end of first half with an aid of a deflection 

and then right at the start of the second 

half after a good solo run and shot. 

The visitors could have crumbled as 

they were dealt a footballing lesson the 

Jon Page substituted in 

late defeat for RSSC firsts. 

Reserves’ third straight win 

last time the sides met at the same ground. 

Thankfully this wasn’t the case and they 

found their late goal in the last attack of 

the game, this time a Darley shot found its 

way to the returning Adie Wood who 

back-heeled the ball home to the delight of 

the travelling fans. 

The extra time period could have gone 

either way with both sides having chances 

to put their name into the hat for the Semi- 

Final draw. A Joe Dack hamstring injury 

meant Boro were playing with 10 for large 

parts of extra time but despite this they 

still managed to create openings, Matt 

Zacharenko went close from a corner and 

Richard Ireland’s shot was well blocked 

after good work from Wheeler. 

With penalties looming, the ball broke 

to the Hambleton centre half who was 

allowed to run with the ball and find his 

team mate who slotted home the winner 

to give Clark no chance in the Boro goal. 

Neil Darley was awarded the Crown 

Man of the Match after a tireless 

performance in the middle of the park. 

Boro next travel to Marcia Grey looking 

to pick up points in order to save 

themselves from relegation.

Selby Town 1 

Hemsworth MW 2 

At last we had a game on at the Rigid Group 

Stadium on Saturday after almost seven weeks 

without football - and, as important, income, 

writes THOMAS ARKLEY. 

It was manager Ian Dring's first home game in 

charge, and some of his players were also 

sampling the atmosphere of Flaxley Road for the 

first time. 

The Robins are in a scrap for their lives at the 

moment, and the last three games have proved 

that this set of players are up for the challenge, 

even if the results have gone agains them each 

time with Saturday no exception. 

They dominated possession for much of the 

opening half without creating many clear cut 

scoring chances. They did however have the ball 

in the net after 15 minutes when Jack Wooley 

headed in a Martin Wolski cross, but he was 

pulled up for pushing a defender in the execution 

of his header. 

Moments later Wooley hit a cracker of a shot 

just wide as Selby continued their domination 

The first half was end to end without either of two 

of the most well-built keepers put under much 

pressure. 

It was essentially a midfield battle with niggly 

fouls spoiling any fluidity in play. On the stroke of 

half time Nathan Smith, Selby's new keeper came 

out well to smother the ball at the feet of Robbie 

Crapper and prevent the visitors pinching the 

lead.

It was much the same in the second half with 

the feeling that whoever scored were most likely 

to reap all the points. 

Marcin Wolski hit a 20 yard free kick just over 

the bar as Selby pressed, Josh O'Neill then beat 

three defenders in a good run but he was 

eventually closed down and his shot went wide. 

a good opportunity. 

Soon after Ashley Hunter went close but his 

shot was gathered by the keeper, however it was 

the visitors who broke the deadlock on the hour 

when a cross to the far post found an unmarked 

Barrick and he headed the ball in. 

Five minutes later and a rush of blood saw 

Shaun Greaves give a free kick away and earn 

him an early bath. He became the first to try out 

the new showers. 

From the resulting free kick Hemsworth 

doubled their lead when Crapper found a gap at 

the near post over the wall. 

Selby were pushed back as they struggled to 

regain their shape, but as the game headed 

towards a conclusion the ten men rallied and 

pushed forward to get some reward. 

With ten minutes left an almighty scramble in 

the area saw Callum Spratt (right 17-01-37 SU) 

rifle the ball in from inside the six yard area and 

reduce the arrears. Hemsworth fought hard to 

keep hold of their lead as the ten men battled 

hard. 

Every game is a cup tie for the Robins, but with 

the spirit Ian Dring has introduced to the club 

since his arrival there is light at the end of the 

tunnel and we have to believe that the vital wins 

Nissan. Innovation that excites. 

Officials’ decisions 

upset Connor at 

British championships 

The British Championships at Sheffield over the 

weekend, could have been better for Hemingbrough’ s 

Connor Potts. 

The fifteen year old, a member of Goole Judo Club 

(seen left) competed in the under 50 kilo category for the 

first time at this weight at this level, at the EIS Sheffield, 

and the weekend was compounded by what he, and his 

coach felt were strange refereeing decisions. and had a 

bye in the first round, and his first fight was against 

Kevin Caie from Sportif Judo club in Scotland, scoring a 

10 point win on an arm lock to win the contest. 

His second fight was against Oliver Harris from Osaka 

with another 10 point score with a drop seionage in 36 

seconds to win the contest and into the semi finals/ 

Rob Hamilton from Edinburgh Judo club Scotland was 

up next, and after four minutes there was no score, so a 

further two minutes was added into golden score, and 

with Connor up on attacks he tried a arm lock from 

Tomanage, which the referees stopped and penalised 

Connor a point, subsequently the bout. 

He stopped on the mat and a protest to the senior 

referee led to video footage and a quarter of an hour later, 

cancelled the penalty, and the referees started the contest 

for three more seconds before he lost on a split decision. 

The Bronze medal contest was against Jack Murphy 

from Pro Judo, the contest went to time once more and 

Connor lost on a five point score ending up in fifth place 

just out of the medals, but hopefully the result has 

secured his place on the British squad for 2013. He felt a 

little hard done to on the day with the referee’s 

interpretations. 

Well done Connor. 

THE TEN MEN GO 

DOWN NARROWLY 

will come. There is no talk about the 'R' word yet 

amongst the players. 

They were back to clicking their heels again on 

Tuesday night when the adverse weather put 

paid to their rearranged game with Bottesford 

Town at the Rigid Group Stadium.
