Karen Darke watched the last Paralympics from her bed, laid up for a few weeks after damaging her skin during a month-long sea-kayaking adventure. "Watching telly in bed is not something I normally do," she says wryly - this is the woman who has handcycled across Japan, kayaked the Alaska coastline and skied across Greenland (not all of her achievements are physical: she also has a PhD in geology and has written two books - the latest, Boundless, will be out soon). "But the Paralympics happened to be on and handcycling was in it for the first time. Because I really like sport, I had thought before if there was anything I would like to compete in but nothing appealed. But when I saw the handcycling I thought that would be amazing, and how great to be at a home Games as well." She missed the last Games after a sea-kayaking accident. But now, she says, she has never been better prepared. Read more in The Guardian Here. - posted 4th September, 2012

PRINCE CHARLES TO VISIT CALDER VALLEY ON FRIDAY: Buckingham Palace has announced that Prince Charles will visit flood victims in and around Hebden Bridge on Friday.

LATEST FLOOD NEWS

Tuesday, 3 July 2012 Calderdale Council, its partners, residents, businesses and volunteers are continuing the clean-up operation in the Calder Valley after being hit by some of the worst flooding ever recorded in the area. Supplies of donated cleaning materials, ranging from mops and disinfectant to dehumidifiers, remain available free of charge to people affected by the flooding. The products can be collected from the Council's Customer First centres in Todmorden and Hebden Bridge.

BIG CLEAN UP CONTINUES

Volunteers continued to turn out yesterday to two shops - one in Mytholmroyd and one in Hebden Bridge to help with the big clean up. These are people who came together via the Calder Valley Flood Victims website started by Rob Holden immediately after the floods. Website here.

This weekend's volunteers came from Todmorden, Hebden Bridge, Sowerby Bridge and Mytholmroyd to pool their help for stricken shops. As Ashleigh Cooper from Old Town, Hebden Bridge pictured centre in the picture below put it "the cleaning fairies prepare to do battle with another residence". Names of other volunteers given to me included Beth Maiden, Pam Kirby and Amy Rooney from Todmorden. There are probably more names to mention if anyone has the information.

Today the website announces "Hot food (Sunday roast) is now being served at Todmordens Central Methodist church for anyone suffering from the floods...." This is a drop in the ocean in terms of telling just what has been achieved this week, not just by this group but by people up and down the valley helping friends and neighbours. However, visit the website yourself if in doubt about the power of people working together.

It was even discussed in Parliament this week.

RESIDENTS are being encouraged to defy the floods and support Mytholmroyd Gala.

The annual event, which has been put back an hour to incorporate the re-arranged Hebden Bridge Handmade Parade, takes place on Saturday.

"We want both Hebden Bridge and Mytholmroyd to have the benefit of having two events on the same day. It is looking like there are two organisations who aren't going to be beaten by the water."

The event has also had the backing of Natural Environment and Fisheries Minister Richard Benyon who said: "I am really impressed that Mytholmroyd is holding its gala this weekend. Everybody who was going to go should still go to the gala because that will boost that community." Evening Courier - posted 26th June, 2012

Mytholmroyd Gala will now commence at 1.00pm instead of 12.00. This follows discussions with organisers of the re-scheduled Hand Made Parade which will take place at 11.00 in Hebden Bridge so that people can enjoy both events.

The Dusty Miller and The Shoulder of Mutton are closed with flood damage. The Post Office, Waites, Drive by Pies, Milly's cafe, The Hardware Shop. Hammads, Marshalls Gas, Valley Electrics, PC Solutions and more are all water damaged and people are working on them to clean up. Headquarters hairdressers hopes to open tomorrow. Sainsbury's and The Co-op are open.

All donations made through this Localgiving site between June 22nd 2012 and June 30th 2012 will contribute to the emergency fund being managed by Community Foundation for Calderdale.

We will be making grants to community groups and uninsured individuals who suffered in the overnight flooding on June 22nd. The Community Foundation for Calderdale has put in £10,000 and all donations will make a difference.

Dreadful flooding in Mytholmroyd this evening when the water went over the wall onto Burnley Road. Burnley Road is closed. Gardens on Caldene Avenue flooded and chickens had to be rescued. Many people were stood on Caldene Bridge and were eventually ordered to "Get off the Bridge". A police car was said to be stuck in the floodwater. There will be a lot of damage I imagine in the houses on the main road backing onto the river. The rain is said to be going to continue until midnight tonight. Thoughts are with those affected in their homes. Hebden Bridge and Todmorden have also flooded but it will be daybreak before the full extent of the damage will be seen.

IT'S PACE EGGING TIME

Pace Egging time is approaching once more! Students from Calder High School are dusting off their Pace Egging hats and swords ready to entertain throughout the Upper Calder Valley on Good Friday.

The students will perform the Midgley Pace Egg play. This is an old tradition within Calder High School, and has been performed by the school for many years now. The Pace Egg Play is based on the oldest play in the world, The Mummers Play. Eight characters are involved in the unfolding story of Saint George and his challengers - Bold Slasher, The Black Prince of Paradine and Hector. The Fool, the Doctor and Tosspot all play important parts and add their own touch of humour to the proceedings.

Chris Green of the White Ribbon Campaign in Mytholmroyd is one of those selected to run with the Olympic torch through Halifax. He is representing the 5,000 who have pledged to support the White Ribbon work and all of those who volunteer for their campaign of men and boys to speaking out about male violence against women.

Mytholmroyd - The bread basket of the Valley! - Todmorden News 23rd February, 2012. The answer to Allan Walker's question (letters February 9) "Where is the Royd in Hebden Royd" is "nowhere." Perhaps Mr Walker, like many other Royders, knows that Mytholmroyd provides between fifteen hundred to two thousand jobs based over four industrial parks, as well as accommodating Calder High School. Amongst other businesses Mytholmroyd boasts several global corporations operating quietly in its midst.

Whilst there is not the strong aroma of coffee in its streets, Mytholmroyd is, in short, the bread basket of the upper Calder Valley and yet, it rarely sees any return on the 42 per cent contribution it makes to the town council coffers. Recent major projects in the village, the upgrading of St Michael's Square and the refurbishment of the Memorial Garden were achieved with minimal assistance from the town council.

Ted Hughes to take his place at Poets' Corner

The late Ted Hughes is to receive his place at Poets' Corner in Westminster Abbey at a ceremony in London later.

A memorial stone will bear his name and lines from one of his poems. It will sit at the foot of the stone commemorating his publisher, TS Eliot.

Hughes' widow Carol and daughter Frieda are expected to attend the ceremony for the writer, who died in 1998. The Yorkshireman's friend and fellow poet Seamus Heaney will give a reading at the event.

"I think Ted would be utterly honoured to be at the foot of TS Eliot and he would indeed be honoured to be in the corner," Heaney told BBC News.

"He was a poet of England and though he may not have been as conventional a member of the Anglican church as TS Elliot was, he had basically a religious vision so he would be very happy to be in the Abbey. BBC website More Here

PRESS RELEASE - FINALLY!!

The people of Mytholmroyd are being invited by Royd Regeneration and Calderdale council to a grand dedication ceremony where the new head to the memorial statue will be unveiled.

The ceremony, planned for Sunday 16th October will begin at 2.15 at St Michael's Square, from where a procession to the Memorial Garden will leave. The statue will be unveiled by Mrs Barbara Jeffrey, whose father Gilbert Hartley opened the garden on 11th July 1922. "I never imagined I would follow in my father's footsteps in this way," said Barbara, "it is a great honour to unveil the statue that commemorates those who never came home. Many local people were very upset when the original head was stolen" she continued.

Royd Regeneration has also teamed up with Pennine Horizons who have many un-named photographs of soldiers and nurses who went to war. "It would be a great help to us if we could get members of the public to identify people in these photos" said Frank Woolrych. More info here - posted 9th October, 2011
