TOTLEY RESIDENTS ASSOCIATION UPDATE The committee meeting held on May 12th. was mostly spent in discussion about Transport problems (one of Totley’s “wish List” concerns) with Pamela Horner from Passenger Transport and Mike Nuttall from First Mainline. As a result of many questions we learned: - 1. The buses are run as a business and not as a public service. There are over 60 bus companies in south Yorkshire all running privately for profit. Much of the strategy comes from central Government. 2. There is a shortage of bus drivers. Driver’s hours are strictly governed. They are often under pressure from abusive passengers, old and young. This is not an excuse to be rude to other passengers. If you have a problem with driver behaviour or buses not running please ring up and let management know, telephone 0114 2211452. 3. Bus tickets are handed in by drivers every night who are checked and the information collated to decide how many buses are required on routes. i.e. the timetable 4. It is not feasible to run the 97 to the station. We were advised to get off the bus in Arundel Gate and catch the Super Tram (Halfway route) which stops at the station. 5. Senior Ticket holders can purchase a £13 monthly ticket to travel anywhere in South Yorkshire using bus or tram. 6. It is not possible to link a service from to Dore/Totley and back to Sheffield at the moment. 7. The tram to Dore/Totley is still under discussion and will be many years ahead. In all probability it would run to Dore station. This could be problematic for bus passengers, fewer passengers therefore a poorer bus service. 8. The A621 is a Quality Bus Corridor, the programme for this corridor is currently being finalised. The Totley area is mid way through this programme so improvements to boarding and bus shelter provision should be put in place during 2004. Continued page 2. TOTLEY RESIDENTS ASSOCIATION As mentioned in the last Totley Independent, it is obvious the T.R.A. committee is going to be busy.

7 GARDENING TIPS FOR JUNE Now is the time to be thinking about the Totley Show. The show committee is working hard getting everything into place for another traditional Totley Show. All the usual events and entertainment which everyone enjoyed last year are coming together, but, as with all shows of this type it needs your support, not just visiting the show but entering your painting, Art and crafts, vegetables, flowers etc etc. The children’s section could do with more support, those who do take part really enjoy it, so please encourage your children, grandchildren, or any youngster you know to take part, its a lot of fun and they may win a medal. Would you please make a special effort this year the shows success relies entirely on the people bringing their exhibits. SEPT 6th is the date at the TOTLEY PRIMARY SCHOOL. I look forward to seeing you there and Rony Robinson will be doing the auction assisted by Jim Webb so that will be a lot of laughs. Work in the garden for June is usually pleasant at this time, the longer evenings and hopefully warmer weather might give you a little time to relax and enjoy the fruits of your labours. The colours coming into the garden and the evening scents make for a very relaxing time and make all that previous effort worthwhile. I'm writing this a bit early so my garden is still at Maytime, the tadpoles are growing in the ponds, the frogs are back, the aqualegia and poppies are just about to burst forth. The apple blossom is a real picture all the way up the back yard. The greenhouse is bursting at the seams waiting for that bit of warmth to come, with tomatoes, lettuce, cabbage, and bedding plants all looking really healthy. I am nurturing a pot plant which I have overwintered in the house ( much to Christine’s annoyance as it is quite large ), ready for the Totley Show, this will ( I hope ) be worth coming to see, so don't forget.

There is 87,000 occupants, and some of their stories are related in our always a feeling of even romance in the air which makes one show. to break out into song. Can you recall the lovely tuneful Tin This is my third Production with them, and I have to say that Pan Alley lyrics from the early dance band days. Let us take I cannot wait to get "stuck into" the scripts and sketches that the month of June into song title. Strangely enough I cannot are being written by the members themselves! And can I total very many. How about a starter with ' June Bride 'from make an appeal at this juncture? If anyone who feels that they the sound track of the delightful film ' Seven Brides for Seven could help on the day as a Marshall, guide, "fetch/carrier" Brothers ', then ' June in January (because we have to take the costumes around with us) will June is Bustin out all over 'June Night' 'Memphis in be most welcome, and appreciated, and I shall be happy to June' . One of my favourite numbers which one could only give further information. warble in the bath tub once a year is the rather corny tune Last year was a roaring success - even though it was played titled ' Where were you on the night of June the third, the in pouring rain at times and indeed had to be abandoned lyrics follow on, what did you do on the night of June the halfway through on the Saturday! - which is why it has now third, did you meet a stranger did you take a walk, was your been extended over three days. heart in danger, oh so you wont talk etc. These pleasant I assure you that there is nothing ghoulish about the phrases seemed so harmless back in the 1930's but by the Production, and mostly it is done with a sense of fun and crime ridden present days standards would sound rather enjoyment, although some of the tales have a touch of pathos ominous and dangerous. I have got these grand dance band about them, when relating to the times of the period. numbers on record by such artists as Charlie Kunz ( he could Please, do yourselves a favour and try to visit us - it certainly tickle those ivories ), Lew Stone, Jack Jackson, Jimmy is different.

All the top ballad singers such as Bing Crosby, Perry Como, Sinatra, Mel Torme, Tony Bennet, Pat Boone, Nat Cole, Vic Damone, Dick Haymes, Matt Munroe and even Satchmo could croon a fair ditty. Don't lets leave out Dickie Valentine, Frankie Vaughan the song and dance favourite with his rendering of' Give me the moonlight give me the girl ' . The male entertainers would not be complete without the great trouper, Sammy Davis junior and Al Jolson (You aint heard nothing yet). Lets give the ladies the spot light with Peggy Lee, Sarah Vaughan, Ella, Doris Day, Keeley Smith, Jo Stafford, Billie Holiday, Rosemary Clooney, June Christy, Julie London, Vera Lynn, Anne Shelton, Connie Francis etc, all warbling some great songs. A further list of moon songs with, ' How high the Moon, Moon Glow, Moon Song, on Moonlight Bay, Oh you crazy Moon, Moonlight in Vermont, All Saints’ Church and Church Hall before the Totley Hall Moon over Miami, Blue Moon, No Moon at all, Full Moon Lane development. Photo by Malcolm Reynolds. and Empty Arms Moon River ' etc. One of my favorites What a night what a moon what a girl. To finish the list how about that forgotten singer Clinton Ford with a rendering of ' Moonlight brings Memories and one from the rock and roll king, Bill Hayley ' Theres a new moon over my shoulder ' . The title spoon could be a tall order. How about ' A spoon full of sugar ' from Julie Andrews, they just don't write songs like the good old un's anymore. Can any readers recall their favourite tunes from yesteryear? John C. Barrows. P.S I nearly forgot to mention the popular singer Al Bowley in the list.
