2 FARMING NOTES July 2012 Tom has been keeping Charolais cattle for the last 20 years and has always dreamed of breeding an exceptional animal that would get his herd known throughout the country and maybe, would top the cattle sales. Bleaklow Goldsmith was born 7 months ago from excellent parents - recorded for growth rate, muscle score and ease of calving, he was on the Charolais website as being one of the top young bulls in the country. Tom had a lot of interest from fellow breeders; one, from as far away as Southern Ireland, wanted to come across and buy it but the bull wasn’t for sale until it was older. heThen, couldn’t a few helpweeks it andago, sadly,a tragedy it would happened. have to Tom be slaughtered. went to check Redferns a bunch from of his Buxton Charolais were in calleda field to on put Church the bull Lane down and Goldsmith was lying in the middle of the field with a broken back leg. The vet said that as the leg was broken high up, in this group was ‘in service’ and the young bull had been trying to jump on it and had fallen badly. My father would tell mein the “where field andyou havetook itlife, away you in have their losses” trailer, but leaving it is no Tom consolation, devastated. especially What we as think he was happened probably was the thatbest oneanimal of the bred cows on

So what with this event, terrible wet weather and a catastrophic drop in milk prices from our milk buyers, July hasn’t beenChurch a good Lane month. Farm. But we have to move on and I’ve just seen on the weather forecast that a high pressure is coming so by the time you read this, the sun could be shining on us all. Roger Cox

3 The original child's drawing The finished well dressing Olympic Well Dressing Team!

The children of Longstone school have once again come up with some inspiring drawings to illustrate an historic year. Under the expert artistic guidance of Jane Littlefield they came down in small groups to create a beautiful well. They were helped this year by a very small army of adults who put in a lot of hours. Well done to all who contributed to this years well and huge thanks to Jane for coordinating it all and creating another beautiful well. In a bit of an experiment on the Sunday after the church fete, the Village Hall opened up to provide teas, cakes, cards and crafts to the visitors who came to admire the well. A steady flow of customers saw the takings reach nearly £300 - all profit for the the Village Hall, a registered charity. A small team of helpers did a fantastic job serving and washing up as well as baking superb cakes and the best bit ... not a drop of rain fell all day! Julia Morgans

The callers may mislead people into believing that the alarms are ‘free’ and that the business is working with the police. They may also suggest that crime is rising in the consumer’s area. They will persuade people to have a subsequent home visit which in practice can become a pressurised sales pitch, often lasting for hours.

11 Village History (1968)

In 1968 the village newspaper was called the ‘Longstone Echo’ I have extracted a few interesting articles which appeared in several issues from this year . The paper was published fortnightly in addition to the ‘Parish Magazine’ which is now integrated into and is an integral part of ‘Under The Edge’.

The headline for December 13th 1968 issue was as follows:- Take your Pick!!

The Echo has made a profit for 1968 - which wasn’t the Intention. So on saturday the staff are taking a trip to Sheffield to spend it! You’ll see what on at 2.30 on Sat. 21st Dec. when we are holding a “Take Your Pick”. Five people will be chosen roughly at random to take part in a “yes-no” interlude, to be followed by 3 big prizes and 3 “boobies”. Entry will be 1/- per person (6d, for children under 12, and free to old age pensioners). All door takings, will then fill our “Treasure Chest” - to add to our big prizes. There will be free refreshments for everyone, ballons, paper hats, and a good old fashioned sing- song, with all the old numbers from “Daisy” to “She was only a girl in a Gilded Cage”.
