We offer our condolences to the families and friends of Eric Ashcroft who died on 30th July. There is a tribute to Eric on Page 3.

Humphrey Parker, a former Head teacher of our school, has died recently. He was 91 and had been suffering from Alzheimer’s over the past couple of years.

Betty Bates has also died on 17th August, after suffering with Parkinson’s disease for some time. Please remember her husband Gordon, family and friends in your prayers at this sad time.

Congratulations to Alice Dewsnip, Norma Burkart’s granddaughter, who has achieved 3 A* and will be going to University College London to study medicine. She is hoping to be a paediatrician and has quite a few years study ahead of her. Norma is very proud of what Alice and her brother, Ben, have achieved given the circumstances of the last 9 months.

Laura McCormick has had a fall and had to have an operation on her ankle. She is now on crutches. We offer her our best wishes for a speedy recovery.

Alright cock! With a big smile and a twinkle in his eye that was Eric's greeting.

Spending 5 minutes with Eric was a shot in the arm.

I came to St Michael's 16 years ago because Andrea came. When Andrea first came - as an adult - Eric and Ralph Wilson were the churchwardens. If you ask her, she will tell you that it was meeting them, and stalwarts like Audrey, and seeing their absolute conviction that what we were doing was real, and that our God was a living God, that inspired her to become a Christian. There was no way someone as full of common sense as Eric was going to fall for some well-meaning nonsense! This is how our faith works – the gospel is, and must be, passed on. Jesus chose to live out his ministry, not as a hermit but as one of a band of brothers (and sisters). When we congregate, we are following the example of the Gospel. Christian fellowship is important. We need to inspire

and support each other. Brenda and Eric are an example of a life lived in faith, with assurance, warmth and affection. Eric was one of the most inspirational people that I have ever met - a reason to look forward to going to church on Sundays. He was always resolutely cheerful. I love history, but Eric once told me that he had no time for it – ' I always look forward me!' He was a keen gardener and, of course, gardeners are life's optimists. You plant in the hope and expectation that, come the Spring, your efforts will be rewarded. Eric could sometimes be heard, well into the first hymn, enthusiastically discussing the performance of his tomatoes or the difficulties of growing chillies with Andrea. The chillies always eluded him! Yet, for all his remarkable good humour, Eric was a serious minded person - a person of depth. There was nothing wet or dribbly about his Christianity. Who will forget Eric's purposeful stride down the aisle on his way to read the lesson and the conviction with which the words were imparted?

Eric's passing leaves a big hole in our congregation. At his funeral it was said that you could not find a single person who could say anything bad about him. I do not think I have ever heard that said of anyone before. However, those whose lives he touched will not forget him. The party that awaits us all just got a lot livelier, and wherever he is, I am sure he is growing the biggest and hottest chillies!

Don’t mention it

As part of his talk at a banquet, our minister told some jokes and a few funny stories. Since he planned to use the same anecdotes at a meeting the next day, he asked reporters covering the event not to include them in their articles. Reading the paper the following morning, he noticed that one well-meaning cub reporter had ended his story on the banquet with the observation "The minister told a number of stories that cannot be

published."

From Tinfoil to CD. Seeing people hooked up to cd or mp3 players is such a common sight nowadays it barely even registers. But how did it all start? In 1857, Leon Scott used a vibrating diaphragm and stylus to graphically record sound waves as tracings on sheets of paper, purely for visual analysis and without any idea of playing them back. He used a device called a phonautograph to do this. These can now be scanned and digitally converted into audible sound. Phonautograms of singing and speech made by Scott in 1860 were played back as sound for the first time in 2008, along with a few pretty unintelligible snippets done in 1857. These are the earliest known recordings of sound. In 1877 Thomas Edison invented the phonograph which could both record and play back sound. He first recorded sound on a wax impregnated paper tape but experimented with tinfoil wrapped around a grooved metal cylinder. A sound vibrated stylus indented the tinfoil while the cylinder was rotated. Although it proved popular as a novelty at public demonstrations, it was just too elementary to have any commercial feasibility.

A decade later Edison invented a vastly improved phonograph that used a hollow wax cylinder instead of a tinfoil sheet This produced better sound, and dominated the market from the end of the 1880's until the early 20th century. Emile Berliner developed lateral cut disc records, which first appeared in Europe in 1899. The 5 inch in diameter discs were played with a small, hand propelled machine and were used only as a toy. However, in 1894 Berliner began marketing a much improved device called a gramophone. Even so, the sound quality was better on the wax cylinders. In 1901, with the assistance of Eldridge Johnson they formed a company called "The Victor talking machines" which would dominate the market for many years. The disc diameter increased first to 10, and then 12 inches in diameter and could play for up to four minutes duration, compared with just two minutes on the wax cylinders. In an attempt to head off the disc advantage, Edison developed the Amberol cylinder in 1909, and the blue Amberol record which had a playing time of 4.5 minutes and

had a playing surface made of celluloid which was far less fragile. But the discs won the format war, and Edison finally stopped producing Amberol cylinders in 1929. By 1919 the basic patents for the manufacture of lateral-cut disc records had expired, opening the field for countless companies to reproduce them. Analogue disc records would dominate the home entertainment market until they were gradually supplanted by the digital compact discs, introduced in 1983. And the rest, of course, you already know! MP3 players, tablets and smartphones are now the order of the day. You can have your favourite songs, tunes, or whatever pumping down your ears literally anywhere you happen to be. So, the next time you wrap your joint of meat or jacket potato in tinfoil, spare a thought to what it did over 150 years ago. Well done, Leon Scott. You had no idea what you started.

My Japan Diary: Part 5 It has all been quiet over the summer, but last Sunday the Japan Guides and I met up. We went for lunch and a catch up in Frankie and Benny's followed by ten pin bowling. I was one of the first girls to turn up and it was nice to catch up with the other early birds and see what they have been up to over the summer and how their fundraising was going (very well in most cases). Then we went for a meal. I was excited to find out that I would be receiving my Japan Hoody (see picture) later on in the day. I ordered garlic dough balls followed by a spicy sausage calzone. Waiting for the meal, Laura (the Leader that is coming with us) told us all about what we will be doing when the Scouts visit Liverpool in November (the Scouts from Cumbria that are travelling with us to Japan). The Scout Leader thought it would be a good idea to visit where Yoko Ono opened Liverpool John Lennon Airport, however we persuaded him that it is only an airport, who would want to go on a day trip to an airport? We reeled off the usual attractions (the museum, the Albert Dock, the cathedrals, etc.) but it is usually a hard job to get the Scout Leader to agree. Laura showed us our badge as the Merseyside Guide Japan unit which was much more suitable than the Scouts one. I will add a picture to a future article. The meal was delicious and then came the bowling. Bowling isn't usually my strong point but I did rather well. I came 2nd in one game and 3rd in the other - much better than usual.

Then we were given our hoodies, my favourite part of the night. It is so warm and comfy, my new favourite thing (I'm even wearing it as I write this article). Before it was all over forms were given out for our next meet up, which will be the focus of my next article. I promise that it will be more exciting than this one!

‎ Daisy Richmond

The numbers on the back of the hoodie have the name of the kids from Merseyside Guides and Cumbria Scouts printed in them.

A little story from my Holiday

Last month my friend and I stayed in Bournemouth. While I was sitting on the front with my friend and watching the folk on the beach, a boy of about 9 or 10 came along and started dancing. We said, “We’ve no money to give you,” and he answered he didn’t want any money. He then asked us if we knew Elizabeth. I said, “Do you mean our Queen?” “Yes,” he said, and asked how we touched her or done a “high five” with her. “Oh no, we have to respect the Queen,” I answered.

He then asked what it was like when we were little. We told him we didn’t have many toys etc. as there was a war going on. He promptly put his hand in his pocket and pulled out a fist full of money in notes. We said to put it away as he may get it taken and asked where he had got it, must have been about £50 there. He replied his mother gave it to him to spend but he wanted us to have it as we had been so kind to him. I said “No, we don’t want it; we didn’t have much when we were small but not to worry about us now”. and we told him to keep it safe. He then spotted his sister and ran off with her. A few moments later he passed by again waving a lolly ice and came over to us and said “I will never forget you all as long as I live.” We had asked him where he was from and he said, “Romania”.

Just thought I would share this story with you.

Each Little Flower

Chrysanthemum

Chrysanthemums are members of the daisy family and there are hundreds of different varieties. The name Chrysanthemum comes from the Greek, khrus anthemon – gold flower, and it is the Japanese national flower. Chrysanthemums are one of the most long lasting cut flowers and will often survive over 14 days in a vase. They are available all year round and are one of the cheapest cut flowers to buy; with a record like this it is no wonder that they are one of the most popular and most cultivated flowers. There are two main types available as cut flowers, Standard – single flowers around 4'' or 10cm in diameter and often referred to as 'blooms'; and ‘spray’, with 3 – 7 flower heads appearing on

branchlets off a single stem. Within this group of Spray Chrysanthemum there are many different types, single flowers which resemble daisies; doubles, where the flowers have many petals; 'spiders' with long narrow curled petals of different lengths; and 'pompoms' or 'button' which have small, close knit flower heads. Chrysanthemums are available all year round and come in white, yellow, pink, pale-green and two colour. Sprays are best bought when most of the flowers on the stem have opened, blooms when the flower heads are at least half open. If bought in tight bud there is a likely-hood that the flowers will not open at all. Since the leaves usually die before the flowers it is advisable to remove most of the leaves as soon as possible, certainly those that will be below the water level of the vase. Immediately before placing the stems in a vase of water with flower food added cut off the bottom inch of stem and cut an inch off every two to three days to help the flowers last as long as possible. Hint – Always use the flower food provided with cut flowers,

it feeds the flowers and prevents a build-up of bacteria in the water.

On the perils of being a

School governor The Rectory St. James the Least My dear Nephew Darren

I was interested to hear that from this academic year, your vicar has asked you to take his place as a school governor. A whole new world of exciting meetings is about to open up to you. Naturally, you will have been told that the governors only meet three times a year. You will probably not have been told that you will also be expected to be on at least two sub-committees, where you will be immediately asked to become secretary, as a way of getting to know the job. Add on training days, parents’ evenings, sports days, school socials, end of term services, charity events and accompanying classes on days out and you will begin to realise that your vicar’s suggestion was not as innocent as you may have thought. Remember, too, that all meetings require you sit on chairs designed for 5 year-olds. You will then spend countless hours going through a 40 item agenda, trying to look dignified with your knees somewhere round your ears while drawing up school plans as if they were the Normandy landing.

Be prepared to receive paperwork measured by the hundredweight; entire rainforests have been obliterated by your education authority sending what they seem to think is vital information; it does, however, make good cat litter. Most meetings will be so full of acronyms that for the first few years you will have the feeling that conversation is taking place in a language that may bear a passing resemblance to English, but isn’t. There is little point in trying to learn what they all mean because before too long, they will all be replaced by another set anyway, which will be equally incomprehensible. Your computer abilities will be expected to be far beyond what anyone over the age of 30 could ever be expected to achieve; if you sink without trace, ask a seven year-old, who will soon put you right. You will also be encouraged to attend training days; I strongly suggest you select all-day events, as at least you will get a lunch out of it. You needn’t bother to arrive on time, since the first hour will be spent with everyone introducing themselves and you can leave early, as the final hour will go on filling in evaluation forms.

Just keep reminding yourself that your term of office is a mere five years; you may even get remission for good behaviour. Your loving uncle,

Eustace

The Church often uses the word 'open' as something to aspire to; for example, in ‘A Vision for Huyton Church’ it states ‘we seek to be an open fellowship of love, acceptance and encouragement’ But it seems to me that it’s one thing expressing these good intentions but what do we actually mean? ChurchCare 1 speaks of ‘Open and Sustainable Churches’ an ‘initiative to encourage wider, more imaginative and more strategic use of the Church of England’s 16,000 buildings.’ In part ChurchCare wants and actively encourages Churches ‘to develop their building for uses beyond the primary role of worship ‘– such as community activities, cultural events or even commercial activities. So what does ChurchCare mean by ‘Open’? 'Open' means:

Open for worship and for visitors during normal working or daylight hours; if this is not possible, there will be clear information about opening times, services and where a key can be found.

Open in the sense of providing a welcoming atmosphere for all, including those of other

faiths or none, and regardless of their initial reason for visiting.

Open for partnership, where appropriate, with community and commercial interests, and for cultural (including tourism and educational) uses.

Open in the sense of providing wherever possible good access and modern amenities, to facilitate the above.

ChurchCare are not advocating that every Church should be striving to do all these things, but rather those things that are appropriate. As for Sustainable Churches, they say that 'sustainable' means:

Environmentally sustainable, striving to meet the goals set out by the Church in its ‘Shrinking the Footprint campaign2’, and to protect and enhance the ecological value of our buildings and churchyard.

Sustainable in the true sense of conservation, this is the responsible management of change, preserving the heritage value of our churches and churchyards while seeking to enhance and reveal their significance and use.

Socially sustainable, by providing a resource which is accessible and attractive to large sections of the community, and therefore able to draw on this social capital

Economically sustainable, in terms of covering the costs of mission, social outreach, and maintenance while maintaining healthy reserves.

The HPC project ‘Refreshing the Space’ is designed to transform our church building into a comfortable and more flexible space for worship and social activities, in that we hope to provide underfloor heating system both in the main body of the church and the chancel, which we believe will be both energy efficient and cost effective. This means we will need to remove the present seating and level the floor which will provide good access throughout the building. If this work is carried out, the seating will be replaced. Then there is the question of the Harrington Screen currently used as a Chancel Screen. That will be covered in another article at another time! 1ChurchCare – http://www.churchcare.co.uk/churches/open-sustainable#sthash.LOnQqv7N.dpuf 2Shrinking the Footprint is the Church of England’s national environment campaign

We are going through times of upheaval of one sort or another. We have the Scottish move for independence and the consequences of that are going to be felt for generations. I write this without knowing the result of the vote for whatever the results there are going to be changes. Those changes will not just be in Scotland but in the way we are all governed. We have the tension and conflict in the Ukraine. Then there is the most fearful of all the wars in the Middle East, the Islamic state. This Islamic state poses a threat to us all. The cold blooded murder of those they have taken captive as hostages is only made worse when the voice of an English man suggests that their “executions” are being done by an English man. None of us really like change. We like things to remain as they are then we know where we stand and we feel more secure and in control. Sadly that is not life. I do not like the changes that come with age and I have not met many people who do. We cannot stop the clock ticking. We have been looking at changes to our church building and that has been challenging to us all. Our building has been going

through some small changes all the time it has been evolving to meet the needs of today. Now we have come to a point when we have to look at big changes that radically change the interior. They will not be as big as the changes made by the Victorians, theirs were irrevocable where our changes are not. Much has been written about what we are proposing. I want to say just two things about what we are going through. The first is that if we are doing something that is right and that it is part of God’s purposes for us it will happen. If we are not it will not happen. That does not mean that if you are opposing any change you are opposing God! You are playing an important role in this process. Opposition makes people think about what they are proposing to do and ask the question “Is it right?” It makes you think through what you are proposing and think about it more deeply. That is very important for if we did not do that we would be blown about like a cork on water and never get anywhere. It is encouraging to see new faces coming into the Church for our Sunday services. We do not have many teenagers and I have

wondered long and hard about this. I think that part of the problem is that we cannot compete with the festivals and night clubs that they seem to enjoy. I have noticed that people seem to start coming when they are in their 30’s and 40’s as though they are beginning to ask the question, “Is this it?” That what they had experienced so far had left them asking the question about there being more to life than night clubs and festivals. By the time you are in your 30’s and 40’s you have children and are beginning to wonder what you have brought them into. To have a purpose and meaning to your life is so important that life is meaningless without it. That is entirely what becoming a Christian and following Christ is all about. He gives our lives significance no matter who we are and what we do. Is there anything more important than that?

What would Jesus do?

While waiting in line to check

out at a Christian bookstore, a

man in front of me asked the

clerk about a display of hats

with the letters WWJD on them.

The clerk explained that WWJD

stands for "What would Jesus

do?" and that the idea is to get

people to consider this question

when making decisions.

The man pondered a moment,

and then replied, "I don't think

he'd pay £17.95 for that hat."
