Speaking of people and places abroad, I don’t think that any of us will ever forget the date of the 11th September 2001… The world may have changed, for better or worse? I think that Stephen has summed it all up perfectly in his "Vicars Ramblings" column. Please spare a thought for any families in the village that have lost friends or family in New York and for those service men and women who may have to go into action to sort out this mess.

The A.G.M. of the Rudston Village Hall Committee took place on Thursday 20th September. Sir Ian Macdonald of Sleat was re-elected to the position of Chairman and the existing committee members were re-elected en bloc. Three new members were co-opted onto the committee these being Mrs. Barbara Moorfoot, Mrs Dorothy Laws and John Crofts.

Following the A.G.M. a general committee meeting took place. Whilst it was agreed that it was essential to keep up the impetus towards the provision of a new village hall, it was felt that maintenance of the existing village hall is of paramount importance and provision is to be made towards this end.

The appliction for a grant to The National Lottery to fund the Feasibilty study, mentioned in last month’s newsletter, is still in the pipeline but a decision is expected shortly. We will keep everyone informed on this.

David Peace.

There are still a few late butterflies to be seen feeding on ice plants and buddelias and the showy red underwing moth has also been attracted. The migration of both butterflies and moth s has been almost non existent but one exception has been a convolvulus hawk moth which arrived at the end of August. A barred rivulet moth in early September was a new record for the area.

Thank you to everyone who is using the recycling facilities. We caught the East Riding of Yorkshire Council by surprise in filling them so quickly! Apologies to anyone who took papers and found that bin crammed full – they have promised a much faster emptying time in future. So keep up the good work! Anyone in contact with Burton Fleming can let them know we appreciate their help too, please. I have just learned that the contractor had difficulty in replacing the paper bin due to the proximity of the telephone wires, so it may have moved a little.

After I had reported a change of telephone number last month another has come to notice. For the Medi-Bus service the number is now 01482 395533. Though I haven’t heard of any users from Rudston (perhaps that’s good), the service generally is reported to be a great success, with a total of 1597 journeys since its launch in November last year.

The last Parish Council meeting was a fairly quiet affair, but note was made of ERYC contractors having been round to fill in the ruts in front of the recycling bins.

As the Editor reported last time, the contractors had done a good job on the Southside Lane extension track. Apparently they went further up Zig-Zag footpath than expected. Anyway, let’s hope it lasts a while without getting churned up too quickly.

I remember a senior member of our street telling me very many years ago that one day we should all be living on pills instead of having the usual three meals each day. Well we are not yet at this point but looking through a magazine that I did not ask for!, I see a page devoted to eight different so-called vitamin tablets ranging from Ginseng to Ginko, plus others with strange names. I am beginning to wonder how the past generations managed to survive without these wonder pills. Just where does gardening fit into all this? Well science is now well established in both garden and farm, modern plant breeding, soil science, computers, internet, automation in the glasshouse and I believe in the field to a certain extent, satellite farming, press button plant nutrition, ventilation, heating, feeding and watering, pest and disease control, soil testing for plant foods, pH and pC tests, management techniques, and so on. My now long gone friend of sixty years ago may yet be right. I only hope I never see the day when we do away with fresh vegetables, good British meats and yes, the spade and wheelbarrow; how would we spend our time I wonder?

Now for something different. I hear of a farmer who has taken up growing walnuts on his estate, its called ago-forestry, the trees are planted thirty yards apart in rows with wide strips between the rows for corn and other crops. He reckons in time he will crop half a tonne per acre, selling the nuts for a pound a pound. He says we import these from France each year and says it’s a growing market – so what do our Wolds farmers think of this I wonder?

Is the glasshouse thoroughly clean now after this summer’s tomato crop? Readers will recall how I referred to the heavy infestation of white fly last year, so by now it pays to make sure the structure is clean. One sure way of ridding glasshouses of all living things is to burn a sulphur candle, making sure all plants are out and the ventilators fully closed and what’s most important, the door secured and a note on the front warning folk to keep out: burning sulphur is deadly, about 12 hours is needed before the vents and doors are opened, then at least one has a clean start. By the way, do also give the glass a good wash on both sides, light transmission is more important than heat for most of our plants. A good raincoat and hat, plus a long soft brush on a rainy day helps to clean the outside, followed by a good hot bath and a dram of Scottish (nectar)!!

By now I’ve already said many things about the September 11 atrocity in the USA; by the time you read this, much else may or may not have happened. But three things remain.

First, there is the pain, grief and anger of the bereaved and the injured. Nothing anyone can do will alter what has happened.

Second, there is the fact that what happened was a work of pure evil. All major faiths agree that suicide is wrong, never mind the murder of innocent victims. To portray the events as the work of Islamic fundamentalists is an insult to Islam. Simply: it was evil.

And third, there is the question of justice. There was someone behind the suicide attacks, and I’ll bet they are still alive. Justice demands that they are faced with their actions; peace demands that they are stopped from training more. But if we believed in the notion of ‘an eye for an eye’, we would not stop until we had killed over 6,000 innocent victims, and we would be no better than they. It’s a fine line between justice and vengeance. God said ‘vengeance is mine’. If we sink to their level, evil has triumphed. STEPHEN

These messages have arrived via e-mail via the Rudston Web site. I hope that people may be able to help them in their quest for information. Ed.

Through Operation Christmas Child, you and your family, church, school or organisation have the opportunity to reach out and share Gods’ love with needy children in Albania and other East European countries.

See for yourself how your gifts really can make a difference – we will be showing a video which runs for about 10 minutes explaining how this registered charity appeal (no. 1001349) brings joy and hope to hurting children, regardless of their nationality, political or religious background.

The Oasis Ladies Group from Lamplugh House Church, Thwing are co-ordinating the appeal and all boxes must be completed by Friday 9^th November 2001. The collection point is White Cottage (by the bridge) in Rudston, home of Doreen and Eric Turner (Tel. 420668).

My mother was born in Rudston, and I was recently in England.

I am trying to learn more of both my mother's father's family and her mother's. Her mother was Lillian Prince, and her parents were John Prince and Rhoda Harrison. I have Lillian Prince's bible, and it was presented to her by the Rudston Sunday School, in 1907, but I do not which church that would be. The vicar at the time was a C.S. Booty.

I do know that John and Rhoda ran a pub, but I am not certain if that was in Rudston or in Bridlington.

My mother's father was William Henry Redshaw, and he had 6 siblings. I know of a Robert Redshaw, and a Jenna or Jennie, as his siblings. However, he was born in Haisethorpe. He went to Church in Carnaby when he was ibn Sunday School, and the writing inside his bible says something like Carnaby Weslyan Sunday School, 1907. I also know that my mother, worked at the airbase nearby, during the war, and my father was a dispatch rider with the Canadian Forces. My mother never spoke much about her early life. She passed away 13 years ago, and I am now very interested in learning more.

I would be very grateful, if you could either provide any ideas about what churches I should contact, or a list of the churches in the area or any contacts that you feel may be able to help me learn more.

I look forward to hearing from you.

My reason for wanting to know this will become apparent to you when you read the following resume of my research in Rudston.

I would really appreciate if you have time, to see if there are any Carr Family Headstones - also any Malton's that we may have missed. In 1999 when we were there the Carr family did not feature in my research so did not look for their Tombstones. Do hope to get back to Rudston on our trip this year - but that seems unlikely at this point in time. Will have to see how our time pans out.
