‘All Saint’s’ at Two Ends of the Earth
By Jenny Fuller, Perth, Western Australia
Resolute Mount Magnet tin shanty is the only structure standing from the 1930’s era.
Flies and heat are two of the defining characteristics of the outback mining town of Mount Magnet, Western Australia. Part six of the Shire of Mount Magnet 1911 Health Act is a section regarding flies ‘any of the two-winged insects constituting the order Diptera’. It documents rules for the distance from dwellings of stables, barbeques and other magnets for insect pests. The Mining News section of The West Australian newspaper of 26th October 1895, describes Mount Magnet weather, with ironically dry understatement, ‘hot, bright and dry’. Mount Magnet is one of the longest surviving gold mining towns in Western Australia and the report is about striking gold in the brewery well. It marks the early origins of Western Australia’s gold rush. The report continues and makes mention of the flies: ‘The flies are numerous and persistent and insect life generally is showing great activity’. Mount Magnet is a part of the world where on average almost two fifths of the year records maximum temperatures above 35 degrees (since temperatures have been recorded from 1957).
Hopefully you have a sense of the difference in climate between Mount Magnet and Slingsby, which could be easily regarded as towns at two ends of the Earth. A biographical bridge is formed between Slingsby and Mount Magnet by my late father, William ‘Bill’ Henry Wright.
Bill was born 17th February 1898 in Slingsby – he was the second youngest child of Henry and Mary Wright. He attended Slingsby Village Community School and was a choir boy at All Saints. Although you might argue that his real education came with the onset of the hostilities of World War One. Like many of his generation, he enlisted in His Majesty’s army at the tender age of 16 years, and with three of his brothers, Bill is listed on the World War One Honour Board in All Saints Church.
After the War, the rest of the world was no longer a mystery found in books and Bill with his older brother, Arthur, sailed to Australia in the early 1920s. No doubt they had adventure in mind and the desire for better

opportunities in Australia. Their first trip was only relatively brief and they worked at various jobs for about five years across Queensland and Victoria and settled in New South Wales for some time. In 1927 they returned to Slingsby to see their parents and siblings. Having said goodbye to their British lives they then returned to Australia, taking a nephew back with them. Arthur eventually bought a farm and raised a family in Trundle, NSW. Bill ventured to the Western Australian gold fields in the mid-1930s.
The actual (restored) mine winding engine from the Boogardie State Battery that Bill Wright
operated into the late 1930’s.
Not unlike Western Australia’s contemporary mining towns, the gold fields of the 1930’s could be a bawdry affair. A respectable gentleman usually found a boarding house where he could lay up. Bill Wright lodged at the boarding house in the Mount Magnet suburb of Boogardie run by my grandparents Mary and John Hedley. Boogardie is now an open cut mine. It was at the
5
boarding house that Bill met and fell in love with my mother, Jessie Hedley. Bill listed his occupation as ‘Engine Driver’ on the marriage certificate, which made him a catch amongst the hard working miners. Often engine drivers were in charge of the winding engine at the top of mines, which meant that they did not have to spend their entire working day underground.
Mount Magnet’s rebuilt 1959 All Saint’s church, 2012 Bill and Jessie were married at All Saint’s in Mount Magnet. You could not find a more contrasting appearance of the two All Saint’s Churches – your beautiful village church, with the magnificent restored tower and lovely stained glass windows, and much history – whilst the Mount Magnet church was very small and like most structures, including my grandparent’s boarding house, were constructed out of tin. The original Mount Magnet All Saint’s was burnt down in a fire in 1959 and another church was built in its place – small and very basic in appearance. It has since been decommissioned and is an Inland Mission Centre.
Jenny Fuller visiting Slingby’s All Saint’s church, 2010.
When you drive around Mount Magnet, the countryside is completely the opposite of the beauty which surrounds Slingsby. I have visited Slingsby on four occasions: in 1967, 1971, 2010 and 2012 and each time I marvel how my father could leave such a scenic place to venture across to the other end of the world. Unfortunately, my father died in February 1949 and I was only a very young girl, so I have no memory of him. I was pleasantly
surprised to discover when I visited Slingsby in 2010 that several of my Wright cousins still live in Slingsby or in nearby towns. Your village has much to be proud of and the website is a wonderful innovation for promoting your village and the surrounding areas.

physiotherapy
fiona@’fionawoollons.com
Fiona Woollons Physiotherapist
In the summer of 2011, after 25 years experience in treating all kinds of injuries, I started up my physiotherapy clinic in Foston. Many of my patients appreciate not having to travel far or worry about parking.
At first it was difficult letting people to know that I was here but now the number of patients continue to grow mainly by word of mouth. After treating one local lady I went on to treat her father, husband, daughter and
neighbour. This now seems to be how it works and all the major private health companies recognize me.
I aim to give plenty of time for my patients to discuss their problem, as once you understand what is going on and what to do about it, you are half way to getting better. My treatment sessions can consist of soft tissue massage, joint mobilizations, exercises, ultra sound or even acupuncture, which is so good for pain relief. I often advise homework such as working on their posture or doing specific rehabilitation exercises. All this helps to get the patient on the road to recovery. Our bodies are very good at healing themselves but sometimes we just need some treatment and to be shown what to do to aid the healing. I’m passionate about my work and really enjoy getting to know my patients.

The Victorian Rebuilding of ‘the
Street’ Parish Churches 1855-72
This talk will explore the nineteenth-century rebuilding and restoration of the churches of the ‘Street Parishes’. In 1855 two aisle windows were replaced in the church of All Saints, Appleton-le-Street. Arguably this was the first act of Victorian restoration zeal, which over the following seventeen years would result in the near total rebuilding of the churches of the ‘Street Parishes’. Indeed, Appleton-le-Street was to be the only church to survive this period relatively intact. Today Victorian ‘restoration’, and the resultant loss of our medieval parish churches, is much maligned, but little is actually known about these lost churches or their restorations. For example, were they really medieval, and would they be standing today without the Victorians? This talk will discuss the lost earlier churches of Hovingham, Slingsby, Barton-le-Street, and Amotherby, along with the stories and characters behind their nineteenth-century rebuilding. Along the way we will meet the vicar who quarrelled with his patron, and the vicar who personally carved and decorated much of his Victorian church.

You’re Invited to Walk Ten at Castle Howard
For Marie Curie Nurses
Marie Curie Cancer Care’s popular Walk Ten event is back for a third year at Castle Howard this summer and local fundraisers, volunteers and nurses (pictured) would like to encourage people in the local area to take part in a beautiful 10k twilight walk around the grounds and estate of this well loved stately home, in support of the charity’s nursing service.
The 10k walk and evening celebration at Castle Howard, takes place on Saturday 20th July and is one of a series of unique ‘Walk Ten’ events taking place at 17 beautiful locations across the UK, sponsored by home emergency insurer HomeServe for a fantastic fourth year.
Featuring exclusive afterhour’s access, the 10k twilight walk will take you past lakes and monuments, through rolling fields and enchanting woodland before returning through magically lit gardens as the evening falls. Special memory lanterns with personal messages will also be lit and form a glowing display of remembrance to welcome walkers back.
Furthermore, for a third year running, popular local radio station Minster FM will once again be hosting the event in style, so after the walk you can relax into the evening listening to fantastic live entertainment and music, whilst enjoying picnics or treats from one of the specialist caterers. The evening will conclude with a very special nursing message followed by a celebration of light at 10pm marking the time at which Marie Curie Nurses everywhere are starting their evening shifts in a patient’s home.
The event starts at 6pm and registration is £10 per person when booking in advance and £20 on the night (Under 16’s go free). The charity asks walkers to raise as much as they can and all monies raised in sponsorship and at the event will go towards local high quality home nursing care, given completely free to people with cancer and other terminal illnesses, allowing them to be treated and remain in the comfort of their own homes in their last days. Marie Curie Nurses also give much needed respite and support to their families at this most difficult time. It is hoped that as many people as possible will sign up for Walk Ten at Castle Howard and raise as much money as they can so that our nurses can help even more terminally ill patients and their families in the local area.
To register for Walk Ten at Castle Howard this summer, or for more information, go to www.mariecurie.org.uk/walkten or call 0845 052 4184. For further information, please contact: Sam James on 01254 855052 or 07850 917561 or Michael on 01904 436625 [email protected] or [email protected]

Congratulations to the Nonagenarians in
Railway Street, Slingsby.
After her 90th birthday on 8th May Charlotte Murray of Hall View is planning a celebratory party for family and friends. Charlotte was born just outside Liverpool on 8th May 1923; she was in the Land Army during the war and married an Australian pilot whose family lived in Queensland. After the war Mr. Murray continued to work for BOAC firstly as a pilot and then as a trainer, while Charlotte enjoyed being at home with their son and daughter. She also found time for gardening and attending an art course. After her husband’s death, Charlotte moved to be near to Karen in Dorset and then after five years was prepared to move again this time to Slingsby. This was so that the family could all be together as Karen’s daughter and son-in-law (Emma and Simon Massey) had settled here. Charlotte is very proud to be the great-grandmother to three little ones, two of whom live in Railway Street - Thomas Massey and now Freddie Massey born April 2013. Congratulations, Charlotte and welcome Freddie.
Maurice Wollons is celebrating his 90th. birthday very quietly today 19th May. He and his brother joined the family firm of Wollons and Harwood - ironmongers in York, and Mr. Wollons spent a life-time serving the public with great courtesy. They moved to Brook House, Slingsby 24 years ago, helped by their three sons. Their introduction to Railway Street was to see their rather especially large fish floundering down the street after a mishap with the fish tank! Thankfully Mr. and Mrs. Wollons and the fish quickly settled and played an active part in village life, particularly for All Saint’s Church. Mr. Wollons is still to be seen cycling around the village and walking Robbie, their border terrier. Congratulations, Maurice.

My wife said what a really nice birthday surprise it would be if I got her something to run around in. So I bought her a tracksuit.
Slingsby on Facebook
The website team are always looking for new ways to reach new audiences and it was with this in mind that we proudly launched the Slingsby Village Facebook page back at the beginning of March. So far the response has been great and we will be adding more photographs, website links and other items to the page over the coming months. We have started to see a noticeable increase in traffic from Facebook since we launched the page and the site really does help promote the village and events like the May Day Bank Holiday celebrations. So if you are on Facebook, why not check out and 'like' the Slingsby page. It can be found at:
www.facebook.com/slingsbyvillage
Another Facebook page you might like to checkout is for the village's very own The Grapes Inn which now has its own Facebook page at
www.facebook.com/thegrapesinnslingsby
Slingsby and its website had a lot in common over the Bank Holiday with a huge amount of traffic arriving at both over the long weekend. The website saw a massive increase in visitors over the days leading up to the events on Monday, with Sunday smashing all previous records for website traffic. In just 24 hours the website received five days’ worth of visitors with 619 page views (a substantial 70% increase on the previous record set in November 2012) and nearly 300 visitors. Due to the large numbers of visitors, it means that another record will be broken this month with the website monthly page viewing figure likely to go well over the 4,000 mark for the first time.
The Slingsby website has been going through a bit of a spring clean over the last few weeks with the layouts of a few pages being adjusted and updated. New photographs have also been added to keep the images of the village up-to-date. South Holme finally got a gallery on the site. The village maypole which, for some reason or another was forgotten about when we were building pages for the website, now has its very own page complete with a detailed time line and a YouTube video of the 1985 raising of the current maypole.
Finally, a few statistics about Slingsby online: the website currently has over 1,000 links, 46 pages and over 330 posts. The Slingsby Twitter feed has 537 followers and on Facebook the village has 45 likes.

Gilling Miniature Railway
Welcome to RSME Ltd
The Ryedale Society of Model Engineers Limited (RSMEL) is a group of like-minded model engineers of wide ranging ages and experience. Members come from all over the country. Most live within thirty miles of the club which is in the village of Gilling East but others come from hundreds of miles away. We have our headquarters in our clubhouse behind the Village Hall. Our dominant activity is with our ground level miniature railway. Most of our railway is multi gauge (3½", 5" and 7¼") but the emphasis is on 5" gauge.
Our track is laid at ground level and we like to emulate main line practice in the construction and operation the railway.
Club activities cover a wide and varied range. We meet at Gilling East every Sunday throughout the year (some of our pensioner members also get together on Thursdays).
13
The main winter Sunday activity is the maintenance and construction of extensions to the railway. In the summer season we run Passenger Days. All the work put in by members over the years has produced what we believe is the finest miniature railway of its type in the UK.
We host visits from other clubs and two or three times a year rallies draw together upwards of thirty scale model locomotives as well as many more fine scale freight wagons and passenger coaches from all over Britain. Every Sunday except on the two rally events, the railway operates to give visitors rides around the railway providing a great day out for the family. We host the famous RSME/LMS Mainline Rallies in the spring and autumn.
Club members tend to focus on their own particular areas of interest. Some like the project work of design and construction. Some specialise in signalling and telecommunications; some enjoy giving rides on open days and all love the Main Line Rallies.
We want more members of all ages. Membership enquiries to Walter Rinaldi-Butcher, other enquiries to Bill Putman. See our website.
www.rsme.org.uk
The next Main Line Rally will on 24th, 25th and 26th August.
Did you hear about the man who had always wanted to be run over by a steam train? Eventually it happened – he was chuffed to bits.
Ah, return tickets: they take me back.
Daffodil Update
Hopefully residents and visitors to the village will have enjoyed our spring display. We are hoping to extend the daffodils for next spring and are, at present, sourcing donations. If you would like to make a donation please contact Janet Clarke on: 01653 628625. Thank you

Heavens Above Slingsby
June 23: Biggest Full Moon of 2013 On 23rd June the moon turns full at 11:32 GMT, and just 32 minutes earlier it will arrive at its closest point to the Earth in 2013 at a distance of 221,824 miles (356,991 km), making it a so-called ‘supermoon’. Expect a large range in ocean tides (exceptionally low to exceptionally high) for the next few days.
Oct. 18: Penumbral Eclipse of the Moon The moon slides through the northern part of the Earth's penumbral shadow during this lunar eclipse event. At mid-eclipse, 76 percent of the moon's diameter will be immersed in the penumbra, probably deep enough to cause a faint, yet discernible darkening of the moon's lower limb. The region of visibility includes much of Asia, Europe and Africa. The central and eastern portion of North America will get a view of the slightly darkened Hunters' Moon during the early evening hours.

As Well As Knitting Patterns
Being a recent newcomer to the world of computers and e-mails, I've realised what a lot I've been missing out on; not just that elusive recipe or knitting pattern, but most of all our own Slingsby Village Website. I can soon lose an hour or two browsing from one thing to another. It is marvellous for advertising forthcoming events and finding out what's happening in our community. I have just watched the video of the Maypole dancing on May Day Monday, which I’d missed as I was busy serving teas to all the visitors. I like to see the children dancing those same dances that we used to do all those years ago when I was at school! I was also impressed with all the links to the various organisations and events that are going on in the area – very useful for all the holiday makers in the caravan sites and holiday cottages. And all from the comfort of my own armchair! So keep up the good work website team, and thank you for all the info you are sharing with everyone.

PARISH ASSEMBLY MEETING
MONDAY 22TH APRIL 2013 at 7pm.
MINUTES
There were 16 members of the public, and six Parish Councillors, District Councillor Robert Wainwright, and the Parish Clerk present. Apologies were accepted from County Councillor Clare Wood, Maggie Farey and PC Fenwick. The Chairman welcomed everyone to the meeting and asked Councillor Wainwright to give his report.
1. Councillor R Wainwright’s report. Robert explained that the Local Development Framework was being examined on 21st May and if they got the green light the planners would have chosen the development sites by June 2014. The cardboard and plastic recycling was now in place all over Ryedale. Questions. A resident asked what had happened to the sale of the Community House and was told that CAB and RVA were hoping to move into Harrison House but had been held up by Network Rail.
A question was asked about the selection of development sites and it was explained that consultations with the Parish Councillors and residents would take place before a final decision was made.
2 The Chairman of the Parish Council, Fiona Farnell‘s report.
Fiona said that the Parish Council had had a busy year. It was with regret that the Youth Club equipment was distributed between the School and an after school club in the area. Throughout the year Councillors had attended the Parish Liaison Meetings held by Ryedale district council. Thanks were expressed to Mr Apps for the making and erection of the new notice board for Slingsby, funded by a grant supported by County Councillor Mrs Wood, Mr Apps also carried out extensive repairs to all the seats in and around Slingsby and Fryton. Councillors had attended a training evening on how to be a good councillor. An annual inspection of the cemetery was carried out, with some headstones needing attention; this work was currently on-going. Winter maintenance was carried out by Bruce Wilson, who did a good job keeping the pavements clear. Ward Meetings between Terrington, Hovingham and Scackleton, Barton le Street and us are now taking place twice yearly; these are good meetings which help with better communication and the gathering together of ideas. A request for a post box to be erected along Railway Street was declined by the Post Office. A rent review for the Allotment Association took place and they were wished well for the coming year. An application for a grant of £15,000 for street lights from the Community Investment Fund was declined. However, a grant of £500 from the New Homes Bonus was approved to assist with the refurbishment of the notice board and seats in Fryton which has been completed. Also a grant of £1,000 from the same fund had recently been approved for new village signs for South Holme. For one year Ryedale District Council has agreed to continue to maintain closed
churchyards in the district, of which Slingsby is one. However this situation will need monitoring over the next year, as it is possible that the Parish Council may be put forward to take over maintenance via the Parish Precept, which Councillors currently felt was unacceptable. Councillors had agreed for £5,000 of reserves to fund some new street lights. A Housing Needs Survey for the parish was carried out and the results were presented to Councillors by Colin Huby (Housing Enabler). A need had been identified, for some immediately and others within 5 years. The next step would be to find a parcel of land suitable. Therefore, if anyone could identify a parcel of land, Councillors would like them to get in touch. Richard Marr from County Highways had attended the last meeting and took on board and answered questions with regards to highway issues within the parish and promised to do what he could within the constraints of his power and budgets. The grass cutting contract has been awarded to I Wood for the coming year. There is currently a vacancy for a parish councillor. Anyone interested in become a councillor was encouraged to apply. Councillor Farnel thanked all councillors for their help and commitment and Dinah for her knowledge and clerking skills. Also thanks were extended to Councillor Wainwright and County Councillor Clare Wood who are always willing to help and attended a number of the Parish Council meetings.
3. Questions were invited from members of the public. a) The footpath near where the Water Board had been working had been left in a poor state. b) The Housing Needs survey had shown that was a need for 5 houses at present and some at a later date. Sites would be identified and looked at by the planners at Ryedale. The site could be outside the development limit as it would be an exception site. c) Speeding was highlighted as still being a problem on Railway Street and the main Malton Road especially in the early morning and evening. d) Thanks to John Apps for making such a good job of the seats. e) The Water board had given a grant towards the replacement of the streetlight which had been taken down during their work.
The meeting closed with refreshments. This proved a very successful innovation giving the opportunity for informal chats with council members. THE TRIANGLE team put on a display of past issues.

Slingsby Sports Club
The Sports Club is celebrating its 25th anniversary this week. In May 1988 the building of the club had been completed and a drinks license obtained, then it was a race against time to complete the internal fittings and decoration to enable the club to open for business prior to the Bank Holiday weekend. Income was urgently needed as almost all the Sportsfield Association's money had been put into the building costs, to supplement the grants given by Ryedale District Council and the Sports Council. The opening on 25th May 1988 was the culmination of some 10 years of fundraising by the committee and villagers. Income from the bar enabled the original small bar seating area to be enlarged, with the building of the wider lounge area and the referee's changing room at the rear in 1990.
The sports field is rented from Castle Howard at no cost to the village and the four sports clubs using the field are not charged rental. Income from the bar alone would not make this possible. It has only been achievable as a result of all tasks relating to the sports field being done on a voluntary basis. Bar work, cleaning, grass cutting, maintenance, purchase and renewal of equipment have always been carried out by volunteers and this continues to be the case.
The Committee really does appreciate all the work carried out by everyone involved over the last 25 years and looks forward to villagers' continuing support.

The Ryedale Festival
Comes to a Venue Near You in July
This year’s annual festival of summer music runs from 12th to 28th July. Booking opened to the general public on 21st May, so you’d better get your skates on before all the best tickets are snapped up. The Festival’s loyal supporters in Slingsby are already gearing up for the many events across Ryedale. Alas, we in Slingsby are not staging a Festival concert this year. Last year we were very lucky to host the uniquely talented Mahan Esfahani – he returns to play harpsichord in the Great Hall at Castle Howard. We also welcome back the extraordinary Ukrainian violinist Andrej Bielow, this time with his quartet. But it’s not just about classical music. There is also Gershwin (in the Saloon, Duncombe Park), a brass band and Patricia Routledge! Plus the exciting magical musical mystery tour that is the ‘Ryecrawl’. In spite of public funding for the arts going into freefall, the festival goes from strength to strength. For audiences, it’s the combination of high quality performances and beautiful venues, for the artists the friendly and relaxed ambience they find in our rural setting. Inspiring! A copy of the Ryedale Festival brochure should be enclosed with your Triangle (our thanks go to the delivery team for taking on the extra burden).

Yorkshire Countrywomen’s Association 2
The meeting held on Tuesday 14th May was attended by 15 members; Sue Birkbeck also welcomed two new ladies to the branch. Minutes of the last two meetings were read and letters of thanks were received from two members, Joyce Ward and Joyce Wright who were presented with flowers at the Pearl Anniversary afternoon tea party in recognition of being founder members. Two letters were also received from past members saying how much they appreciated being
invited and how much they had enjoyed the afternoon. In the newsletter there was a request for help at the Great Yorkshire show. Three of our members have volunteered but more help is still needed.
Jennifer Caunt was the evening’s speaker and with the help of her husband gave a very interesting talk, with slides, about the Life and Work of Charles Kempe whose stained glass windows can be found in various churches in our area including St Peter's church, Norton and the chapel at Castle Howard.
Next month will be the outing to Sewerby Hall on Tuesday the 11th June leaving The Green at 9:30am, anyone wishing to join us should contact Sue Birkbeck 01653 627293 for a place on the bus.

FOOD GLORIOUS FOOD
Most of us like a good meal now and again and one of the favourite ways to celebrate an important birthday or anniversary is to invite friends and family to share a special meal with us.
It is not suprising then that food has played an important part in some of our Chapel celebrations over the past year, going back to the celebration of our 175th Chapel Anniversary which was a very happy occasion with many friends taking part in a lovely service. Afterwards we went into the schoolroom for a very nice ‘Bring & Share’ tea.
Following on from that we had the Harvest Festival in September, led by Rev David Emison from Helmsley. This was well attended and we then enjoyed an excellent ‘Harvest Lunch’ in the schoolroom.
On the third Sunday of the month we are trying to make our worship service a bit different, more lively, a bit more contemporary and special. So on the third Sunday in March after Stephen had taken the service we invited anyone who was able to join us for Sunday Lunch at The Grapes Inn. 20 people took up the invitation and we enjoyed a lovely two-course lunch at very reasonable cost and enjoyed a lot of talking as well.
One recent event including some good food was on Easter Sunday when we got our celebrations off to a great start with a breakfast at 9am. It was quite
sumptuous with fruit juice, lovely fresh fruit and cereals, followed up with sausage and bacon sandwiches and lots of toast. Rev Mike Smith led our Easter service which concluded with food of a different kind as we celebrated communion with bread and wine which reminds us of the body and blood of Jesus sacrificed for us at Calvary.
The Sunday after Easter Margot Taylor led us in a ‘Café’ style all age worship. We sat round tables in the schoolroom for the service. We had fruit juice on the tables all the time and towards the end of the service coffee and tea were served along with some lovely muffins and biscuits. On Pentecost Sunday the 19th May our ‘Worship Group’ led an excellent service on the meaning and importance of The Holy Spirit and being a third Sunday was in a more relaxed format but still very meaningful. Afterwards 40 people stayed on for a very good salad lunch in the schoolroom.
One of the best known miracles of Jesus was the feeding of the 5,000 when with five loaves of bread and two fishes that great crowd of people enjoyed a wonderful picnic. What a wonderful day the crowd would have had, being with Jesus, and what better way to bring it to an end than with a lovely meal. Really all we are trying to do is follow the example of Jesus. Enjoy some good food, each other’s company and get to know Jesus better.

FISH & CHIPS
The Malton & Norton Lions Club have offered to bring a lunch of fish, chips & peas into the village at the very modest cost of £2.50 beginning in October. This may be on a weekly or fortnightly basis. They will try and avoid the days when the fish and chip van already comes. There was a trial run a few weeks ago which was a success. They can be delivered to your home or to a central location. Final details later. If you are interested contact Stephen Prest on 01653-628277 to register your interest and then we will keep you informed.

Famous Last Words
“In the name of God, please let me die in peace!”
On his deathbed in 1778, the French Enlightment philosopher, writer and author François Marie Arouet (pen name ‘Voltaire’) was asked if he would finally recognise the divinity of Jesus Christ. Voltaire, who had spent his life fighting ignorance and violence, and who was well known to embrace Deism rather than Christianity, was having none of it.
The man who invented the Taser died suddenly last night. His relatives were stunned.
