  • Meet the Krash Family
    Meet the Krash Family “Get in the van, kids! We’re running late!” The Krash family of four is headed to Grandpa Krash’s 90th birthday party, and they’re off to a hectic start. Father Jimmy, 43, is at the wheel, impatient because his two kids (JJ, 17 and Ramona, 7) were slow to get ready to leave and now they’re running behind. On this late November afternoon, they’re traveling down Big River Road - a rural highway - at approximately 65 mph in a minivan, with temperatures dipping down into the 30’s. “Jimmy, slow down – you’re going too fast for these curvy country roads!” Jimmy’s wife Jane is nervous because Jimmy is hurrying more than she thinks is safe. Suddenly, just as they reach a blind curve, a deer darts out into the road causing him to jerk the wheel. Tires screeching on the asphalt, the minivan loses control and rolls down a four-foot embankment, flipping over and landing on its top, with the Krash family still inside. A passing motorist approaches a few minutes later and notices the fresh disturbance in the guardrail. Horrified at the possibility of a recent accident, she stops to investigate and notices the overturned minivan. She yells to the family that she’s getting help and rushes to call 911 for an ambulance, describing the scene as best she can. Folsom County Fire and EMS crews arrive within nine minutes of dispatch, and identify our four patients who are still inside the vehicle. A teenage boy appears to be trapped in the third row of the minivan, but the other three patients are removed while crews work to stabilize the vehicle.

Orphaned at a young age, Jane is placed in the care of her wealthy aunt Mrs Reed, who neglects her in favour of her own three spoiled children. Jane is branded a liar, and Mrs Reed sends her to the grim and joyless Lowood School where she stays until she is 19. Determined to make the best of her life, Jane takes a position as a governess at Thornfield Hall, the home of the alluring and unpredictable Edward Rochester. It is here that Jane’s journey into the world, and as a woman, begins. Writer Sandy Welch (North And South, Magnificent Seven), producer Diederick Santer (Shakespeare Retold – Much Ado About Nothing) and director Susanna White (Bleak House) join forces to bring this ever-popular tale of passion, colour, madness and gothic horror to BBC One. Producer Diederick Santer says: “Sandy’s brand-new adaptation brings to life Jane’s inner world with beauty, humour and, at times, great sadness. We hope that her original take on the story will be enjoyed as much by long- term fans of the book as by those who have never read it.” The serial also stars Francesca Annis as Lady Ingram, Christina Cole as Blanche Ingram, Lorraine Ashbourne as Mrs Fairfax, Pam Ferris as Grace Poole and Tara Fitzgerald as Mrs Reed.

  • Arthur Farmery
    ARTHUR FARMERY Arthur Beck Farmery was born in Alne in 1894, the eldest of the five children of William Beck, a builder’s labourer, and his wife Elizabeth. By 1901, however, his family had moved to York, where he spent the rest of his life apart from his time in the army. When he joined up on 25th April 1914 he gave his occupation as a flour miller, employed by H Leetham and Sons, and was living at home in Newbiggin Street. He served in the Royal Army Medical Corps. The RAMC was often the choice of men who wanted to “do their bit” but did not want to participate in fighting due to religious or moral convictions. He served in England until 14th April 1915, when he was posted to France for a year where he was attached to the 1st Northumbrian Field Ambulance. A Field Ambulance was a mobile front line medical unit responsible for establishing and operating a number of points along a casualty evacuation chain. The chain comprised bearer relay points, an advanced dressing station, and the main dressing station, as well as a walking wounded collection station, rest areas and local sick rooms. There is little information about how Arthur’s war went and where exactly he served, except that he remained a private, but his character was deemed ‘very good’ and there were no charges on his conduct sheet. After his return to England he was posted to No. 2 Company of the West Yorkshire Regiment for a year until August 1917 when he was again transferred, this time to the 297 Labour Corps – the labour corps being reserved for those deemed not fit enough for frontline service.

While the definition of “well-educated” remains the same, educating our scholars has vastly changed.Instead of managing car-pool drop-offs and planning dinner around extra- curricular activities, we monitor computers looking for teacher faces and not Instagram stars, and we remind scholars to put on masks instead of reminding them to grab their backpacks. “Career-ready” looks very different this year, too. Nine collegians graduated during this pandemic and preparing them for interviews is more about securing reliable Wi-Fi connections and quiet places in our homes than it is practicing handshakes and reminding them about the need for a freshly ironed shirt.
