There’s a new name on the Cornish gig rowing scene - Torpoint Rowers Club.

Club members and officials are celebrating after being formally elected as fully-fledged members of the Cornish Pilot Gig Association.

Their celebrations follow three years of hard work, dedication and fund raising - and later this year the story reaches new heights when the club takes part in the World Gig Championships in the Isles of Scilly.

Torpoint Rowers Club chair Lisa Hocking said: “It all started just three years ago when using funds from a coffee morning and contributions from rowers, we hired small rowing boats to start training and teaching novices the art of rowing.

“We took part in a Torpoint Mosquito Sailing club open day to give local people of all ages and backgrounds the chance to get out on the water - and it went on from there.”

Fundraising events and sponsored rows enabled the club to buy the basic safety equipment and with home made cushions, from foam covered with carrier bags, they established a regular timetable for rowing.

The club invited several community groups, including the Scouts and local firefighters, to join them for rowing sessions, which proved popular and helped to spread the word that rowing was now an activity in the town again.

During this period the club received financial support from the 1730 Club and a £3,000 grant from Trinity House towards the purchase of a gig.

Torpoint and Rame Lions funded safety equipment and also helped pay for coaching, VHF radio and first aid qualifications for a number of club members.

The club then applied for affiliated status of the Cornish Pilot Gig Association (CPGA), giving them the challenge of purchasing a wooden pilot gig within two years so that they could become full CPGA members.

Lisa said: “We secured a Sports England grant and carried on raising our own funds to help with this. Further sponsored events in aid of Help for Heroes and Comic Relief followed plus completion of the Lynher challenge in both 2016 and 2017.

The CPGA launched their ‘Club in a Box’ initiative in 2017, which meant Torpoint Rowers could loan a GRP gig, a road trailer, a set of oars and a set of cushions so that they could train in a full size gig.

The initiative is in part sponsored by Sport England, St Austell Brewery (Walter Hicks being the founder) and the CPGA with equipment being provided by Plymouth Trailer Centre and Gigass.

“This enabled us to train crews for the Under 14s and Newquay County Championships and to carry on building our experience and knowledge to help the club develop,” added Lisa.

Local Scouts then provided a young crew for the 2018 Under 14 Championships at Hayle in July last year, where they came 22nd out of 44 crews - a fantastic achievement given that they had less than 10 training sessions before the event.

The club’s two hired rowing boats starting out from Torpoint for the sponsored Red Nose Row to Saltash and back. Club rowers have also been to Calstock and back on another sponsored row

The local Scouts visiting the Torpoint Rowers Club so they could gain their ‘On The Water’ badges With the funds now well boosted the club was in a position to start looking for a second hand wooden gig. They were very lucky to be given the loan of the Spirit of Rame from Rame Gig Club to compete in the Looe Regatta in 2018 and to have the use of Lantic from Fowey Gig Club ahead of the eventual purchase of her in August 2018.

“We are very grateful to both clubs for their help,” added Lisa.

“There has been a lot of help from the gig rowing community and it truly has the feel of a family, with tips and advice being shared along with the loan and gifting of various pieces of equipment.”

The club has just been given another £1,000 grant from the Torpoint and Rame Lions towards the purchase of a set of oars.

The club now has nearly 30 members of all ages and abilities and is already competing in the Tamar Winter League with mens, ladies and junior teams.

“It has been a fantastic achievement thanks to so many people and organisations,” added Lisa. “We’re now looking forward to competing against other local gig clubs and taking part in the World Gig Championships later this year.”

Millbrook’s new work units already proving popular with local enterprises

Lion President Richard Pymm meets up with Jemma Morgan of the Cafe´Abundance food project. The Lions have helped with funding of equipment for her new unit in Millbrook

Thanks for all your help and support!

December and January is a very busy time for the Lions Club. First of all it was the Christmas tree competition entry, then the switching on of the town’s Christmas lights and then taking Santa to see all of the children around many of the streets in our part of the Peninsula with the Santa Sleigh This was followed by all the preparations for the New Year’s Day dip at Cawsand. All of these commitments to our community were aided by several non members of the Lions club on several occasions throughout the period, without whose help we would not have achieved as much as we did.

I would like to therefore formally thank all those who turned out, both Lion members and nonmembers who helped us and our community.

On behalf of the Lions Club, I would like to apologise to all those people and streets not visited during the Christmas period and all those disappointed children who didn’t get to see Santa. This was due to shortage of members to man the sleigh on some evenings.

All that said, I must thank all of you who supported us along the way and wished us good luck and shared the Christmas spirit, it was great to see you all.

The New Year’s Day dip in Cawsand Bay was very well attended this year both by registered entries and those who turned up on the day and took part. The procession was led by our local MP Sheryll Murray and Town Crier Lion Clive O’Shaughnessy.

This is one of the events that we put on every year to enable all those who enter to raise money for their own charities or good cause. This year we had over 150 people taking part all in fancy dress and an estimated 900 to 1000 people who crowded the beach and the streets in support of those taking part.

The event has in recent years suffered with atrocious weather which has deterred some dippers, but this year the weather was exceptional and drew people out to witness a brilliant spectacle. Our thanks go to all those who turned out.

By Lion Stephen Murray Just prior to Christmas the Lion President Richard Pymm, who was working tirelessly on many fronts, paid a visit to Jemma Morgan at her premises at the Café Abundance food project.

Jemma has been running Café Abundance pop up cafes in Torpoint, Millbrook and Cawsand for a couple of years and is now firmly established in the area. Jemma has now taken a lease on one of the new work units created by the Peninsula Trust in Millbrook.

Jemma will be using the unit as a food preparation area and has a five star rating for food hygiene. She needed to source stainless steel work benches to comply with those standards. The Lions club was impressed with the project and the club approved a contribution towards the cost of the preparation tables as seen in the photo.

Once again thanks to all of you who helped and supported the Lions Club in the last 12 months and we hope that we will continue to support the community with local charitable causes.

If you have a request to help someone or a group please don’t hesitate to contact us, you can speak to any Lion and we can pass on your request for consideration. You can contact me on e-mail, Stephenmurray630@gmail.com, or access our club on www.e-clubhouse.org/sites/torpointrame Don’t forget we are always looking for new members to join us. The work we do can be hard at times, but if you have the time and are not afraid of commitment, the Lions club could be the thing for you.

We volunteer our time for the good of the community and all funds raised go to charity, so if this appeals to you then come along to a meeting at the Comrades Club, Antony Rd Torpoint on the first Tuesday of every month, and get a feeling for what goes on.

STOP PRESS We are having a coffee morning at the Kingsand Institute on February 23 from 10am to 12 noon. Hope you can make it along.

The procession for the New Year’s Day dip make their way to Cawsand

The Peninsula Trust have announced the completion of Millbrook Work Units, newly constructed, high specification units in the centre of the village.

The Trust has been working on the project for over two years to secure the funding and build the units for the local community to use as either start ups or existing business.

The units are 20 square metres in size, with double door entrance and come equipped with WiFi and a sink and shared toilet facilities. The Trust have also kitted out one of the units to provide an instant co-working office space, again with free WiFi, a three desk cluster system and chairs to provide a working hub for either individuals, groups or business to move straight into.

Two of the units have already been successfully let to Café Abundance and Whole Body Osteopathy.

Café Abundance, which runs the Real Junk Food Project in Rame and Torpoint, is a not for profit community interest company (CIC) which hosts PopUp ‘Pay As You Feel’ cafés serving healthy, delicious food made from intercepted food that would otherwise be binned.

Jemma Morgan is the cook and driving force behind the CIC and works alongside a fantastic volunteer crew to provide regular cafés in St James Church Hall, Maker with Rame Community Hall and Millbrook Methodist Church Hall.

Jemma said that moving the operations to the Millbrook Work Units has been a great move for the CIC and will allow her to develop the project to include cookery skills sessions and more in 2019. For more information check out: www.facebook.com/ cafeabundance.uk

Yvonne Cosbie from Whole Body Osteopathy is a registered osteopath who treats a wide range of medical conditions and injuries from work, recreation and sports related activities.

People of all ages and backgrounds can be treated with osteopathy, including the elderly, children, pregnant women and sports people.

Osteopaths work with the structure and function of the body, working with the principle that well-being depends on the smooth functioning of all joints and soft tissues.

Yvonne uses touch, physical manipulation, dry needling, stretching and massage to improve joint mobility, relieve muscle tension, and help the body’s own healing mechanisms.

Treatment is always tailored to the individual and advice on posture and exercise is often given, to aid recovery and prevent symptoms recurring.

Yvonne who has clinics in Saltash and Looe has said that expanding her business to Millbrook Work Units will allow the business to grow and develop and it is in the perfect location to treat people in the Rame Peninsula and Torpoint area.

Yvonne will be treating people in the clinic from early February. For more information visit www.forestreetosteopaths.co.uk / about-us The Peninsula Trust would like to thank all the professionals and local people who were involved in making the project happen.

The work units are a sustainable asset for the community, creating jobs and industry in the area.

The Trust can be flexible in terms of offering this space.

For information or to discuss options, please give the team a call on 01752 658516 or e-mail admin@ thepeninsulatrust.org.uk

Message from Torpoint Mayor Lambert Kiese It’s hard to believe that 2018 is finally over and we now embark on 2019. I’m sure 2019 will bring new inspiration and aspiration to our town.

You did it! Once again the community of Torpoint came together when the cry for help sounded. On Christmas morning with my son Lambert Jnr (L J) I made a surprise visit to St James Church to thank the volunteers who had given up part of their Christmas to help make someone else’s. And what a pleasant surprise we had!

In the absence of a chef, Linda Miles and her son Andy rose to the challenge to cook Christmas dinner for over 50 diners. To the nineteen who also gave their time, to help serve and entertain those who otherwise would have been on their own for Christmas dinner my upmost appreciation.

My thanks to all involved, not forgetting the family from France visiting their family here in Torpoint, who felt the need to participate in the event. A big thank you from myself, and those who dined on the day. Plans are already under way for next year, so if you would like to volunteer at next year’s event please contact Churches Together. Thank you to the Torpoint WI, who have already contributed towards this fantastic event for next Christmas.

Thank you to the following Fore Street traders for financially sponsoring the future of the Christmas lights in the town: Richard Harris Solicitors, Ideal Homes, Hearts Kitchen, The Wheelers and Studio 2. If any other local traders/organisations wish to provide financial backing please contact the Town Council offices: Tel: 01752 814165 or email adminassistant@ torpointtowncouncil.gov.uk.

Unfortunately, I have to report that rubbish is being left outside properties and back lanes for several days before it’s collected. This a blight on our town, affects neighbours and the environment and we can all play a part in keeping our streets clean for everyone to enjoy.

Congratulations to Sir Richard Carew Pole, who recently celebrated his 80th birthday. It was a pleasure to help him celebrate such a momentous occasion, with the presentation on behalf of the council and the residents of Torpoint.

In my recent BBC Radio Cornwall interview, which centred on the demise of the high street, I was thrilled to point out that Torpoint bucks the trend. With its fantastic range of independent shops and national supermarkets, it really is a one stop destination for the weekly shop.

Make a note in your diary; the last Sunday of the month from April to September, The Torpoint Street Market will take place in Fore Street from 10am – 3pm. Please come along and help support your local retailers.

The citation told of her variety of service, including: her many years as a teacher in Torpoint; her services to the Parish Council; running the village shop for a period of time and for her untiring dedication to the village community.

She makes Wilcove the great community it is and thoroughly deserves the accolade.

The Wilcove Community Association congratulated Paddy by presenting her with a bouquet of flowers at a community event on New Year’s Eve 2018.

New Year’s Eve celebrations...an New Year’s Eve in Torpoint saw the usual invasion of cowboys, indians, nurses, Martians, Minions, and Pharaohs to name but a few of the colourful fancy dress outfits.

Hundreds of revellers descended from all over the town to the ferry lanes leaving the pubs and clubs to join in the midnight celebration in the usual Torpoint fashion .

A very friendly jolly crowd formed for the countdown to celebrate the start of 2019, corks popped, hugs commenced and the celebration of the new year began, onlookers enjoyed the spectacle of the varied costumes displayed and even better the police enjoyed a trouble free occasion, what a great way to celebrate the coming of 2019 Torpoint has enjoyed some wonderful events in 2018 so let us hope that it spills over into 2019.

Health Care for Feet Samantha Freeman MPSPract The perfect hangover cure – and a great way to see in 2019 with the Annual Torpoint and Rame Peninsula Lions club New Year’s Day Dip at Cawsand.

As usual the fancy dress judging and the dip registration was held in the Kingsand Village Hall and an impressive array of fancy dress participants made such a hard decision for the judge MP Sheryll Murray, Little Miss Teen Great Britian and local Town crier Clive O’Shaunessy.

Young and old made such a great effort and the whole event is aimed at everyone helping to raise money for the Lions charity to use for good causes and also to raise money by the folk taking part to use for their own charities or club funds – so it was a win win situation all around.

The Parade set off at 12.15pm and proceeded through Kingsand and on to Cawsand raising money on the way. The crowds greeting them were as big as ever and the street was lined along the way helping to make the event so special.

On arrival at the beach all swimmers were looking pretty cold, but an appearance by the sun helped and a short pause for photos and for the countdown. At 12.30pm off they went into the sea for a wake up dip where fancy dress outfits seem to fall apart and leaving only the hardy to enjoy a longer swim.

Then it was out of the water and back on land to enjoy warm soup and warm clothes. Fun was had by all and lots of money raised for good causes - well done all!

The Lions Cub would like to thank all those who return every year and to all new dippers for their support, without which the Lions would not be able to help so many needy causes.

Work progressing apace on Rame’s newest gig

We’re looking forward to yet another busy year

Rame Gig Club’s new gig under construction at Poulson Boats The all new Tamar Winter League opened with a nine club regatta hosted by Tamar and Tavy Gig Club. The welcome, on a drizzly day, was warm, and the homemade chilli and pittas were even warmer.

Rame Gig Club entered nearly all the races and achieved a creditable fourth place overall. The Under16s performed best, winning their race in fantastic style.

The day was also momentous as several novice rowers, who had recently joined the club, took part in their first competitive races, which they all thoroughly enjoyed.

The club also took part in the Saltash Regatta in January and is looking forward to the Cotehele event on February 16. The club will then host its own winter regatta at Cawsand on March 30.

It is with great sadness that we have lost our friend and colleague Pat Knell this month.

We send our heartfelt condolences to her family.

She will be greatly missed by us all.

January marked the start of a new membership year, and many members have already taken on fund-raising challenges including a sponsored weight loss/fitness boost, and a special Rame Gig Club slideshow coffee morning at The Institute at the beginning of February. Monies raised are for the new gig boat - Spirit of Rame - which is being built by Poulson Boats.

Members of the club are eagerly awaiting the launch date in a couple of months time.

As always, Rame Gig Club welcomes new members to the rowing and/or fitness suite sections of the club.

Membership details can be found on the website: www.ramegigclub.com. Feel free to get in touch with the club via the contacts on the website, especially if you want to ‘have a go at a row’.

St John auction raises over £900 for charity The proceeds of a highly successful charity auction at The St John Inn have been presented to the Royal British Legion Poppy Appeal and St John Village Hall.

Cheques for £470 were presented to the two good causes

by Rob and Gill Berry of the St John Inn. The auction was held just before Christmas when a riotous bunch from Tregantle, St John and beyond invaded the pub to be treated to an expert performance of auctioneering from Steve Scorah.

The most outrageous Dickensian dress up went to big Dave, wearing his dressing gown straight out of the Victorian circus, closely followed by Gill wearing her collection of lacy table cloths and curtains.

Bids flew thick and fast with

some excellent auction items, offers and adventures, including a weekend break in the Shepherds Hut at Mount Edgcumbe.

All items and offers were sold by the end of the evening with a figure of over £900 raised for the Poppy Appeal and the Village Hall.

Lights, camera, climate action!

Local film festival aims to make us all environmental champions Cornwall’s ‘Forgotten Corner’ is getting ready to host a twoday environmental film festival it hopes will put itself well and truly on the map.

The event, to be held on February 16 and 17 in Kingsand and Millbrook on the Rame Peninsula, aims to fill people with hope at the gloomiest time of the year and motivate them to take action to help protect the environment both locally and globally.

The Forgotten Corner Film Festival - which the organisers hope will be the first of many - will feature a wide selection of films, ranging from low-budget local productions to gamechanging international ones. There will also be talks, music, information about various environmental initiatives taking place locally, a junk food café and even a sound bath.

The event is being organised by local beach cleaning and marine conservation group Rame Peninsula Beach Care (www.ramepbc.org). Donations from the event will help raise funds for RPBC as well as the Old Ship social housing project in Cawsand and the Joy Rescue project, a Kenyan NGO working to support low income families.

Claire Wallerstein of RPBC said: “We all know that we’re facing some serious and pretty frightening environmental challenges in the world today. But this festival is not about doom and gloom and feeling powerless to change anything – we want to remind people of how much there still is in the world to protect and celebrate, and to give ourselves the inspiration we need to get up and be a part of the change our planet so desperately needs right now.”

Just some of the highlights of the event will include: Albatross, an incredibly powerful and moving film by photographer Chris Jordan documenting Laysan albatrosses, which raise their young in the heart of the Great Pacific Garbage Patch Wild Cornwall - Out on the Edge, a stunning film about the incredible wildlife dramas played out right here under our noses, by former BBC wildlife cameraman Ian McCarthy who will also be at the event to take questions from the audience.

Tomorrow (Demain), an upbeat, award-winning French film in which a documentary team travels the world to find concrete solutions to environmental and social challenges in

agriculture, energy, economics, education and governance.

Gypsea Stories, a film about local sailor and legend Nick Skeates, who has sailed the world on his handmade wooden boat and does everything the old-school way.

The Age of Stupid, a drama-documentary-animation hybrid starring Pete Postlethwaite looking back from 2055 and asking why we didn’t do something to tackle climate change when we had the chance!

A talk by producer Jo Ruxton, updating us on developments since the making of A Plastic Ocean, the ground-breaking documentary that unveiled the true scale of plastic pollution in the world’s oceans and its impact on animal and human health.

Inhabit, a vision of how permaculture could feed the world by working with nature rather than dominating it.

The films and talks will be broken down into six themed segments around issues such as plastics, adventure, activism and climate change.

On the Saturday night there will be live music and a licensed bar and the event will close on the Sunday with a sound bath meditation session to send people back out into the world feeling refreshed and inspired to take positive steps to fight the environmental challenges we face.

Food will be available throughout, with award-winning Cornish Pod pasties on the Saturday and a lunch menu served up on the Sunday by Café Abundance, the local junk food café that keeps ‘waste’ food from local supermarkets out of landfill by turning it into nutritious and delicious meals sold on a ‘pay as you feel’ basis. Cakes, popcorn, teas, coffees and luxury hot chocolates will be on sale during the films.

For more information and full programme information please find ‘Forgotten Corner Film Festival’ on Facebook or email info@ramepbc.org.

Tickets for the festival are available from Macs Village Store in Kingsand or online via Eventbrite either search ‘Forgotten Corner Film Festival’ or go to www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/ forgotten-corner-film-festival-tickets-55017401529 Tickets cost £16 per day or £24 for the whole weekend, including live music on Saturday and sound bath on Sunday.

Depending on sales some tickets may also be available on the door (£6 per session).

Brian and Eve Oates celebrate Diamond Wedding Anniversary A Torpoint couple have celebrated their Diamond Wedding Anniversary.

Eve and Brian Oates’ special day included a visit from the town’s Mayor Lambert Kiese and his wife Maureeen, who presented the couple with a special bouquet of flowers.

Eve originates from Canterbury and Brian comes from St.Just-in-Penwith in Cornwall.

The couple met at the Methodist Church in Deal, Kent where Brian was serving at the Royal Marines School of Music in 1957. They were married at Havelock Hall, Methodist Church, Deal on December 20 1958.

They moved to Plymstock in January 1959 when Brian was serving in Stonehouse Royal Marines Barracks.

Their first son, Gerald was born in December 1960.

Gerald attended Saltash Comprehensive School.

They stayed in Plymouth until they moved back to Deal where Brian took up various appointments at the Royal Marines School of Music. Their second son Nigel was born on in April 1964. When they came to Torpoint, Nigel attended Torpoint School.

After a period as a flute instructor at the Royal Marines School of Music, Brian was drafted to HMS Eagle as a Band Corporal. At the end of the commission, Brian once again returned to the Royal Marines School of Music this time taking up the post as a Band Sergeant instructor and later as Assistant Music Librarian in the Central Music Library.

Whilst at the Music Library, Brian was promoted to Band colour-sergeant and appointed to the Band of Commander-in-Chief Fleet at Chatham under Captain Peter Sumner. Brian was then promoted to Warrant Officer 2 Bandmaster.

He completed his time and eventually became a

Brian and Eve Oates with their Diamond Wedding card from the Queen and (below) on their wedding day in 1958 Volunteer Band Instructor at HMS Fisgard, Torpoint, a Civil Service position. When Fisgard closed, Brian was appointed to RNEC Manadon and then ultimately to the Naval Base in Plymouth.

He finally retired in the 1990s and has since enjoyed life as the Deputy Musical Director of the Rame Peninsula Male Voice Choir having also done a stint as a Special Constable and in the N.C.I at Rame Head.

Eve has been involved in helping to run a play group and before coming to Torpoint was a leader in the Junior Section of the Boys Brigade at Deal and very involved in Sunday School work. She has been involved in looking after their two sons and also had a part-time job in what was Johnsons shop in Trevol Road many years ago.

At present both Eve and Brian are involved in Cornerstone Church, Torpoint.

First meetings of 2019 for local WI groups...

Torpoint WI’s first meeting of the year was a members meeting and Rosemary Slee, President, welcomed everyone and wished everyone a very Happy New Year.

We all enjoyed the Christmas Party and the monies raised from the raffle will be donated locally. We have received thanks from the Children’s Hospice South West for the donation we sent them from the sale of craft day items and thanks from the Mayor for our donation towards the Christmas Tree in Sparrow Park.

We came second in the Christmas Tree Competition at St James Church with our tree which was decorated with beautifully sewn cupcakes.

Nominations for the Committee were submitted, together with our votes on this year’s campaigns and members were asked for ideas for outings for the coming year.

Everyone then enjoyed a brilliant social evening which started off with a game of ‘Who Am I?’ wearing our named stickers on our backs, followed by guessing the use of around 30 unusual objects such as a nylon stocking darner!!

A competition with photographs of our ‘younger selves’ wasn’t a lot easier to guess! After tea, we finished the evening with a hilarious and very competitive game of Beetle Drive.

All in all we all enjoyed a really fun evening.

Competition results: Letter O - 1, Pat Woodhouse, equal 2, Carina Davis, Enid Gaved and Joyce Ralph, and equal 3, Sandra Hocking, Meryl Houghton and Rosemary Slee. Flower of the Month equal 1, Jacqui Rust and Jean Morgan, 2, Pat Woodhouse and 3, Sue Hale.

The next meeting is the group’s annual meeting and will be held on Wednesday February 27 at 7.30 pm in St James Church Hall and visitors are always welcome.

Crafthole and District WI

Crafthole and District WI have seen a rise in membership with several ladies from St Germans WI which has disbanded, joining in with our sessions.

In November we all enjoyed a talk by Philip Stansfield of the Cornish Cheese Co. about how the successful business was started 24 years ago. He told us about the process of making the famous ‘Cornish Blue’ which is softer and milder than Stilton and takes 18 months to develop each cheese. We enjoyed sampling two types of blue cheese.

Judy Scott gave a report of the WI Autumn Council Meeting and we discussed giving gift boxes to the Salvation Army for Christmas.

We made a collection for Quay Lane Surgery in memory of Betty Heapy - a dear member who recently passed away. Future plans include a visit to see Evita at the Devonport Play House in March and next July to see Calendar Girls at the Theatre Royal. We ran a food stall at the Sheviock Memorial Hall to raise funds for the Hall and quickly sold out of goodies.

December’s meeting was the Christmas lunch and in January it will be a Members Meeting where the committee get a day off. A Beetle Drive is planned.

In February there is a talk about the Liskeard Museum. We meet on the third Wednesday each month at 2pm in Crafthole at the Village Hall. Everyone is welcome.

Chloe and Faye win Arts Society awards Chloe Sweetlove and Faye Smith, who left Torpoint Community College at the end of their sixth form studies, have been awarded prizes for their outstanding A Level artwork.

They were unable to attend the presentation of the Young Arts Awards at the Liskeard Art Society’s December meeting and the school holds their cheques for them.

Liskeard Arts supports arts in five schools in South East Cornwall and has an active group of Church Recorders now working at Morval Church, having

completed their recording of Sheviock church in 2018.

The Society’s Heritage Volunteers have recently completed cataloguing photographs at Port Eliot.

The next meeting will be held in the Public Hall, Liskeard, on February 12.

Refreshments are served from 7 pm and the talk ‘Inspired by Stonehenge’ begins at 7.30pm.

Justice and justice alone On the last Sunday of January, all the churches in the Torpoint and District cancelled their usual services and instead the people gathered in Cornerstone Church to share in worship and fellowship together.

The practice of coming together from all denominations has taken place for over 20 years now. It is done as a physical sign that all of us, who seek to follow the way of Jesus, are united in the task and can and do wish to work together in harmony.

And there is more. Each year a different country is invited to prepare a service, during the Week of Prayer for Christian Unity, that is shared by Churches Together across the world. This year it was the turn of Indonesia.

Indonesia is often in the news for the wrong reasons. At the end of 2018 they suffered another deadly tsunami, triggered by a chunk of an active volcano slipping into the ocean.

At least 373 people were killed and many buildings were heavily damaged and towns flooded. And that is not all they have to suffer. It is also a country which has one of the worst records of inequality in the world as well as corruption.

It is perhaps understandable that, in a country where inequalities of wealth are so enormous, that the Indonesian Churches chose the following verse from the Old Testament as the theme for the service.

‘Follow justice and justice alone, so that you may live and possess the land the Lord your God is giving you.’

By Roy Bright, chairman of Churches Together in Torpoint

This verse comes from a passage teaching those who had escaped slavery in Egypt to live as a free people in the Promised Land.

It is sad to think that thousands of years ago good people identified the needs of society to live peaceably together. The need for justice that protects the weak and vulnerable. Thousands of years later the greed and corruption of a few makes life for others a struggle in so many countries and including our own. Sadly the church too has not been immune from exploiting the people in ways that gave greater power to themselves.

Most people will be familiar with the following saying of Jesus: ‘No one can be a slave to two masters. Either you will hate the one and love the other, or you will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot be a slave to both God and money.’

But I particularly like the following saying from Luke’s gospel: Then he said to them, ‘Watch out! Be on your guard against all kinds of greed; life does not consist in an abundance of possessions.’ Luke 12 vs 15 Life does not consist in an abundance of possessions. It is greed that I fear motivates too many people who find themselves in a position where they can exploit others.

The Book of Ecclesiastes says: ‘Whoever loves money never has enough; whoever loves wealth is never satisfied with their income.’

Council warns dog owners on fouling Cornwall Council is urging dog owners to bag and bin their dog poo as new figures reveal the extent of dog fouling in public places.

Latest figures show that from April-December 2018 a total of 429 reports of dog fouling were made to the Council’s Dog Welfare and Enforcement Service. That compares to 686 fouling service requests in 2017/18 and 872 reports in 2016/17.

The area with the highest number of dog fouling complaints so far this financial year is Penzance with 20 calls from members of the public. Saltash had the second most reports at 17, while Tywardreath and Par saw 16 dog fouling complaints. By comparison Torpoint had just five complaints, Millbrook one and Maker with Rame two.

Since 2015 there have been a total of 2,610 dog fouling reports in Cornwall with Newquay recording the highest amount at 135 while Penzance had 123.

The Council’s Dog Welfare and Enforcement Service undertakes pro-active patrols of known fouling hot spots. Since 2015, more than 2,400 patrols have taken place, with 402 in April-December last year alone.

Anyone who does not pick up after their dogs faces a fine of up to £1,000 or can receive a fixed penalty of £100 in order to discharge the offence.

Find out how to make a complaint about dog fouling at the Cornwall Council website at www.cornwall.gov.uk/environment-and-planning/ animal-welfare/dog-welfare-and-enforcementservice/dog-fouling.

Cabinet portfolio holder for environment and public protection Sue James said: “’Most dog owners act responsibly and clean up after their pets but unfortunately there are a minority who think it is okay

to leave it to others to sort out.

“There are more than enough waste bins for dog owners to use and general waste bins can be used to dispose of bagged dog waste. If you’re in an area where there happens to be no bins, you should be taking waste home - there really is no excuse.”

Members of the public can report dog fouling incidences to the Council online 24/7. The Council’s Dog Welfare and Enforcement Service responds to and investigates complaints of dog fouling.

There are 30 officers with the Council’s Community Protection Team authorised to tackle fouling but there are a number of other officers including some who are not uniformed as well as police community support officers who can issue fixed penalties.

Since 2012 Cornwall Council has also provided DEFRA approved training to 80 town and parish council employees to enable and authorise them to issue dog fouling fixed penalty notices and help tackle the problem.

Cornwall Council’s senior environmental health officer Kevin Brader said: “’Our message is clear - pick up your dog poo or risk a fine. Your laziness is anti-social, is a blight to our environment and poses a health risk to the public especially children. “’You can report dog fouling to the Council with information including the identity or description of the offender, their address or car registration number and the time of day that offence took place and this will help us to contact the offender directly.”

Councillor James issued a final word of warning: “Saying you didn’t see your dog foul is not a defence.

It’s your responsibility as a dog owner to do the right thing - bag it and bin it or take it home with you.”

Cornwall Council to purchase 250 homes for temporary accommodation Up to 250 homes for people in need of temporary accommodation will be purchased

by Cornwall Council following a decision by members at a council meeting in January.

The homes will be spread throughout Cornwall so that those who find themselves in need of a temporary home can still be near work, school and family while they are helped to find a more permanent option, Self-contained accommodation will be provided for families with children and there will be shared accommodation for single people or couples with no children.

Cornwall Council received more than 800 homeless applications during 2017, and these plans will allow a more flexible response

suited to people’s needs, avoiding the use of bed and breakfast accommodation.

There are currently 267 households in temporary accommodation in Cornwall with around a third of that number in bed and breakfast or hotels because the Council does not have enough temporary accommodation of its own to offer them.

Cornwall Council cabinet portfolio holder for homes Andrew Mitchell said: “How we help those in need is a measure of the society we live in. This decision is about making sure that we help those who, for whatever reason, are in danger of no longer having a roof over their head or a place to call home.

“More and more often, we are being

approached by families who find themselves in this dire situation and we have a legal as well as a moral duty to help them.

“Not only is bed and breakfast and hotel accommodation unsuitable, particularly for families, it is also very expensive.

“Providing good quality, affordable, temporary accommodation in locations where it is needed ensures people have somewhere safe to stay, provides stability and gives people a better chance to find or keep work.”

In 2017, the Council received 9,967 requests for housing advice and over 800 homelessness applications.

It is envisaged that the 250 homes for temporary accommodation will be managed

by Cornwall Housing Limited who are already commissioned to deliver housing options and homelessness services on behalf of the Council.

Cornwall has in recent years been among the top providers in the country of new affordable homes. Last year, 3,400 new homes were built in Cornwall, and over 900 of these were affordable housing. People wishing to rent or buy one of these affordable homes must have a connection to Cornwall and already be living here.

The council is directly investing £200m to directly deliver 1,000 new homes built in the right locations with the right infrastructure around them.
