BEAVER BLINDS

BLIND MANUFACTURERS Torpoint Scouts have made a donation to Derriford Children’s Cancer Service - after one of their young members was treated at the hospital.

The 2nd Torpoint Scouts Group had a very personal reason for making a donation of £308 towards the children’s cancer service.

Sue Gosling, assistant group Scout leader, said: “One of our cubs spent some time on the children’s cancer ward last year whilst receiving treatment for Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma. He has a brother in our scout troop who visited him on the ward.

“We wanted to show our appreciation to the staff for the care they gave the cub and his family. We are delighted that he is making an excellent recovery.”

Every year St George’s Day in April is a big event for the Scouts. St George was chosen as the patron saint for scouting by Lord Baden-Powell who thought his legend displayed faith, courage and perseverance – all great qualities for the aspiring Scout.

Each group takes it in turn to organise the celebration for their district and this year it was the 2nd Torpoint Scout Group’s turn to host the church service. The honour allows them to choose the charity to receive the collection.

Corinne Bailey, Plymouth Hospitals charity development manager, said: “We’d like to thank the Torpoint Scouts for this wonderful donation.

Millbrook remembers It’s carnival time!

Epic production to honour Armistice centenary

The twin villages of Kingsand and Cawsand are going out of their way to mark 11111118 - the centenary of the armistice that concluded World War I. An epic production at Maker Church on November 10 will reaffirm that war is hell, but will remind the audience that it was no picnic for survivors either. The wounded, gassed, maimed, blind and insane did not have the comfort of a diagnosis of post traumatic stress disorder - a condition still to be identified. They also paid a heavy price, but so did bereaved wives, fatherless children, and a generation of women who never had the chance to marry.

The catalogue of names on war memorials is so often just that - a list of names meaningless to many among succeeding generations. But preparing for 11111118 has led to research which endeavours to join up the dots between those selfless souls of more than a century ago and current and recent inhabitants in the local community.

The Battle of Jutland claimed seven lives from the twin villages and the sinking of the Monmouth off Chile claimed six. But who actually were the men who gave their lives?

One of these at Jutland was Alfred Bentley, a Petty Officer on HMS Defence.

His family lived in Fore Street, and was related to Honour Duke, whom many locals recall as post mistress in Kingsand. She

was a Bentley, as was the late Jean Nichols who received an MBE for service to the community. When the Queen presented it at Buckingham Palace, Her Majesty suggested that she and Mrs Nichols were the smallest people in the room!

Jean was doubly touched by war, for in the second, her husband spent years as a prisoner. Her daughters-in-law still live in Cawsand. The youngest name on Cawsand war memorial, just 17, was Margaret’s uncle Ernest Jago.

She recalls her grandmother telling how she used to bake pasties for him when he was at HMS Defiance, then carrying them down to Torpoint for his lunch.

Ernest was brother-in-law of centenarian Doll Jago, until recently Kingsand’s oldest resident, and also Pat Channon’s uncle. Pat still lives in Kingsand.

Walter Skinner was the uncle of Joan Skinner, whom locals know better as Joan Bryant - brought up on Devonport Hill. She and her husband Jerry brought up two sons in Kingsand and Cawsand before moving more recently to Plymouth.

“Walter was my father’s brother,” Joan recalls. Like many of his generation, Walter’s son also Walter, was born out of wedlock, as a result of his father’s death in the war.

It was not until he was in his 50s that he found his way back to the village, to see where his father had been brought up, and

to meet his uncle Harold and aunt Ethel, and a family he barely knew he had.

There was an emotional family reunion, and he kept returning to the village for many years. When he died, his ashes were brought back to Rame and put at the foot of grandfather and grandmother Skinner’s grave.

And Fred Carne and Harold Carne were cousins of the father of local historian Tony Carne who has done much to illuminate the past in the area. Fred died at Jutland, Harold on the Western Front.

Few families in these villages remained untouched by World War I. However, on-going research covering Millbrook seems to suggest that the Battle of Jutland and the sinking of the Monmouth off Chile alone, added to the deaths of Kingsand and Cawsand sailors and the total may have reached well over 20.

Data is still being updated, exposing gaps in honours lists, but also that some names on memorials should not strictly be there, deaths having occurred after the WWI armistice.

There is free admission to 11111118, the armistice centenary spectacular at Maker Church (7pm, on Nov 10). It will feature the choirs of the Women’s Institute, Rame Ministry, and Rame Peninsula MVC, plus theatre, narrations, bell-ringers, music, poems, and remarkable special effects.

...and Millbrook remembers One hundred years on from the Armistice a silent soldier and silent sailor will stand sentry in Millbrook’s Garden of Remembrance as the Village gathers to pay it’s respects to the fallen.

“They died for us. Let us ever have them in thankful remembrance before God and strive to copy their life of devotion and duty.”

These words are taken from the marble memorial tablet in Millbrook’s All Saints’ Church. It was commissioned in January 1921 and erected by relatives and parishioners.

Harold Pettman, the then Vicar of Millbrook, having himself only recently returned from Service as an Army Chaplain in Italy, had lobbied the Parish Council in favour of a stone tablet and stained glass window with the words ‘it has been in my mind from time to time since first in November 1914 our Parish began to pay its toll of lives nobly laid down for King & Country.’ He was referring to the eight men mourned in Millbrook when HMS Monmouth was sunk by enemy action on All Saints’ Day, 1st November 1914. The stained glass window was not installed until 1948, but a handsome Sicilian marble tablet was erected on the north wall of the church soon after January 1921 and the number of men listed on it and the war memorial and buried in the Commonwealth War Graves totals a sobering 61.

Not all of them were born or bred in the village but they were clearly all loved and mourned.

William Harris was the youngest casualty to be mourned in Millbrook when he died aboard HMS Monmouth aged 17.

He and the other seven men all lived within a stone’s throw of each.

His mother, Lucy, lived at 95 West Street.

By 1916 there was a strong military presence in the village and in the April the Vicar spoke about the ‘presence of so many soldiers in their midst’. Two of these men were possibly Norman Wood, the son of a publican, born in South London in 1890. He clearly had leanings towards the Army as in May 1906 he tried to enlist but was discharged in the July “having made a misstatement as to his age”. By 1908 he was a professional football player and played for several clubs including Tottenham Hotspur, Crystal Palace, Chelsea and Plymouth Argyle. He enlisted in February 1915 and served with the Duke of Cambridge Own (Middlesex) Regiment in the 17th Footballers’ Battalion.

Norman was killed in action at the Battle of

the Somme. His exact link to Millbrook is not known but at the time of his death his place of residence was 12 Clinton Terrace.

The other soldier was Richard Bird whose only memorial is his headstone in the Churchyard. He, like many other men from the West Indies enlisted in 1915 to fight for the ‘Mother Country’. The son of a planter, he grew up in Jamaica and after enlisting, his Regiment was first sent to Nova Scotia, possibly for training. He was then deployed to Sierra Leone. In December 1915 a depot for the British West indies Regiment had been established at Withnoe Camp, near Whitsand Bay Battery and in January 1916 over 1,000 soldiers marched from Devonport to the camp. Despite the exposed position and bad weather, good training work was done at Withnoe.

Local legend has it that on Sundays the soldiers were marched down Donkey Lane and into Millbrook, their Officer leading on horseback and drums beating, to attend church at All Saints’, which in those days was the Garrison church. Richard died, aged 24, on 14 August 1916 and was buried in All Saints Churchyard.

His headstone was paid for by his comrades and is now cared for by the Commonwealth War Graves Commission.

That same year the village mourned the deaths of four men at The Battle of Jutland.

Harry Marden was one of them.

His parents lived in Cawsand but he was married to Bessie and living in Millbrook at Belle Vue House, West Street. He was killed in action, aged 40, when HMS Defence was sunk with all crew. Harry was clearly well loved for not only is he remembered on Cawsand’s memorial but his name appears on a further four in Millbrook including a beautiful white marble tablet, in All Saints Church, erected in his memory by his widow and family.

The Military Medal was introduced in 1916 and awarded for acts of gallantry and devotion under fire or for individual or associated acts of bravery.

James and Jessie Warren must have been so proud when their son, Percival was awarded this military decoration. But within 12 months both he and his younger brother, James, had been killed in action.

Before the war they had lived with their parents at 71 Millpool Head. Percival had worked as a servant and James as a labourer and they enlisted together at Saltash into the Duke of Cornwall’s Light Infantry but were both transferred to the

1st/7th Battalion London Regiment.

Benjamin and Lydia Frost lived at 24 West Street and had five children. Two of the boys, Leonard and Stuart joined the Army. By then Leonard, who had worked as a farm labourer, was married to Florence and they had three sons, Alexander, William and Clarence. Leonard died of wounds 9th April 1917 and Stuart was killed in action 31st March 1918. Leonard and Florence’s son Alexander (Alec) was killed at Dunkirk 1st June 1940 and is buried at Dunkirk Cemetery.

During 1917 seventeen names were added to those already mourned in the village and Petty Officer Bertram Pote, a submariner, was one of them. He was born in Millbrook, his parents lived at The Parade and his father was a Master Blacksmith. Bertram was married to Susie, from St Cleer, near Liskeard. He was killed in a tragic accident, aged 26, 19th January 1917, when HM Submarine E36 was involved in a collision with another British submarine. The E36 sunk off Harwich, in the North Sea. There were no survivors.

The last of the 61 to be killed in action was Sergeant Albert Liversidge who joined the Army in 1912 and married a Millbrook girl, Stephanie Bettinson, in 1915, and who lived at 72 West Street.

His Battalion was involved in a series of preparations for a major offensive, around the River Selle in Picardy but sadly he died, aged 25, on 12 October 1918.

The men have all been researched and in many cases their last address in Millbrook is now known. Fifty eight households will participate in the commemoration by displaying outside their home a poster remembering a soldier or sailor. Appropriately, the posters will be on display between November 1 and 12 to form a commemorative walk which will also include the Commonwealth War Graves in the Churchyard and All Saints Church, where there will be an exhibition and simple, temporary, memorial offering more information about each serviceman.

The silent soldier and silent sailor will form part of the exhibition and have been crafted and kindly donated by Mark Stevens, a local blacksmith. Mark offered to make them for the village after a conversation about the need for a silent sailor as nearly half of those mourned in the village served in the Royal Navy.

The Remembrance Ceremony starts at 3pm on November 11. The exhibition in All Saints Church will be open on November 1 and 3 from 10am to 12noon; November 7 from 2pm to 4pm; November 10 from 10am to 12 noon and Sunday November 11 from 1pm to 3pm.

Entry to the exhibition is free and car parking is available in the church car park.

Walking weekend raises £1000 Sixty walkers took advantage of the opportunity to explore Sheviock Parish, on the first weekend of September.

Organised by St Mary’s Church Project Team, four different walks were on offer in the morning and afternoon of both days. Walkers selected their preferences, with some hardy folk managing all four walks over the weekend.

Locals and visitors were led through lanes, fields and woods by knowledgeable guides who provided interesting information on hidden historical sites and fascinating tales of local history and characters; they also enjoyed spectacular views over Bodmin Moor, Dartmoor, Whitsand Bay and the river Lynher from vantage points not always available to the public.

Refreshments were available at the church where walkers could linger over a pasty, a cup of tea and other fine fare while chatting to new and old friends about the walks (some up to seven miles long). Participants were also invited to write their feedback on a label and hang it on a ‘washing line’ in the church.

One of the comments included: ‘Congratulations on a truly magnificent weekend of walking.

Feedback from walkers on the ‘washing line’

• • • Kitchens • Bedrooms • Bathrooms • • • Design Guides were tremendous and looking forward to the next one!’

A total of £1000 was raised towards St Mary’s fundraising target of £10,000 which must be in place in order to access a second stage Heritage Lottery Fund grant of almost £250,000 needed for church repairs and development of the Heritage Gateway.

Jenny Bushrod, project manager, said: “The feedback from walkers has been phenomenal with so many requests for a repeat – which is the acid test for any event. It really has been an epic undertaking for all of us and I just wanted to say thank you to everyone who has pitched in and

helped in whatever way to make this weekend such a success.”

The next event in aid of the appeal will be a Harvest Dance held at Sheviock Barton Farm, on October 27 when the famous Friday Night Boys will be playing, giving their support to the Heritage Gateway Project fundraising.

The admission price is £5 by pre-booked ticket. A bar will be available plus hot food from the Cornish Pod and there will be ample car parking. The grand draw will also be made at this event with lots of great prizes. To book dance tickets or buy draw tickets please email bushrods@ btinternet.com

Designer Helen launches her first Christmas collection Millbrook designer and maker Helen Round has launched her first Christmas Collection, which is inspired by classic winter foliage.

Helen hopes her festive range will become a firm favourite, adding to her popular collection of hand-printed, linen homeware products.

Never one for reindeer, snowmen or other stylised Christmas icons, Helen took inspiration from Mount Edgcumbe Country Park.

“I love to go on a wintery walk, in search of holly and ivy, returning home to entwine them with little sparkly lights, placing above doorways and on table tops. This for me is Christmas,” said Helen.

The festive collection features this same classic winter foliage, hand-printed onto Helen’s signature homeware products, including her ever popular kitchen linens and hand crafted accessories; all made in her Cornish studio using ethically

Traditionally used at Christmas time they signify the changing of season and coming of Spring.”

Summer raffle is a big hit at Fundraisers travel the Porte Rouge

Great Wall of China!

Staff and members of Torpoint and Rame Community Sports Centre have raised over £1500 for new equipment - by travelling more than the length of the Great Wall of China.

The challenge involved completing the 5,500 miles of the Great Wall on exercise bikes, treadmills, rowers, steppers and cross trainers.

The plucky participants gave themselves the 31 days of July to complete the challenge, in the hope the sponsor money raised would provide the opportunity to update some of the fitness suite equipment - for the benefit of the many members, school children, and also in personal training sessions and circuit classes.

The challenge saw the members and staff involved in the challenge embrace a whole new level of personal commitment to exercise. Seeing all efforts daily totted up was amazing; and feeling immensely proud of personal goals each had set and surpassing them. Some participants personally travelled a distance of 500 miles or more over the month.

It was a huge success and everyone – although a little saddle sore at times, and with achey muscles – achieved the 5,500 miles distance in a total of just 21 days. Determined to achieve the original goal of committing to a full 31 days, everyone decided as a group to keep the distance and challenge going.

By July 31 they collectively travelled a total distance of more than 6,700 miles which was an incredible feat of endurance for those taking part. The final sponsor monies are still being collected, but organisers have raised a total £1528 which will see new fitness equipment added very soon to the fitness suite.

Young rower Jenna takes part in top tournament Rame Gig Club travelled to Porthleven for their regatta and although conditions were choppy and the weather overcast it did not deter Rame from having a great time.

The Under 16s gained a first, Under 14s secured third and the mixed vets came second in their race. The club finished in fifth place overall out of 21 clubs.

The following weekend, it was a trip to Fowey Regatta where, once again, the club had a great day on and off the water.

There are only two events left from the summer season, which are the Ladies and Men’s County Championships at Newquay.

After months of regional competitions and hard training, four Cornish gig rowers were part of a group of 22 rowers chosen to represent the South of England in the School Games Finals, at Loughborough. One of the young rowers was Jenna Kempster-Taylor from Rame Gig Club.

On the first day 15-year-old Jenna proved her worth by achieving a very strong personal best, gaining fifth place in the Year 10 girls A final.

Day 2 saw Jenna paired with Archie, from Fowey Gig Club. They competed in the Tier-2 relay with other rowers, gaining an impressive Silver at Tier-2 level and second place in the Tier-1 race.

Well done to all the youngsters who took part in this challenge, but especially to Jenna, another one of Rame’s young rowers who are certainly putting gig rowing out there on the circuit.

The summer rowing season is coming to a close. However this does not mean members will be putting their feet up. They will be training on and off the water throughout the winter months and competing in the new winter series.

Diary date - November 30 at 7pm presentation evening at Millbrook A.F.C. All members and their families welcome. Please check the website for more information.

Family and friends joined in the fun during the Summer Raffle afternoon at Porte Rouge.

There were over 100 wonderful raffle prizes available and raffle tickets sold like hot cakes. A lovely afternoon buffet and tea party followed.

Thank you to everyone who donated the prizes and we raised £107 towards the in house entertainment throughout the year.

New Commanding Officer takes helm at HMS Raleigh HMS Raleigh has a new man at the helm with Captain Rich Harris taking up the post as the establishment’s 43rd Commanding Officer in September.

Capt Harris was welcomed to the Royal Navy training base in Torpoint by a guard of honour made up of recruits from the Hanson 08 class. The class completed their 10-week initial Naval training course soon after Capt Harris took over.

The 46-year-old is no stranger to HMS Raleigh.

In 1993 he completed his Royal Naval Reserve confirmation course, as a rating specialising in mine warfare, at the base. Capt Harris went on to join the Royal Navy full-time as an officer and previously served at HMS Raleigh as the Commandant of the Defence Maritime Logistics School (DMLS) between October 2012 and April 2015.

Capt Harris said: “When I assumed Command of the DMLS I said then that it was the pinnacle of my career. At the time, I had no idea that I would go one step further and Command the whole establishment of officers, ratings, other ranks, civil servants and contractors, who work tirelessly to produce our sailors of such high quality, which delivers the best Navy in the World. I am delighted to return to Raleigh and I’m looking forward to continuing the work of my predecessors.”

Born in Cardiff, Capt Harris joined the Royal Navy as a Short Career Supply Officer in 1995. He completed sea training on board HMS Beaver and HMS Nottingham and graduated from his Junior Supply Officers Course at HMS Raleigh in 1997. Capt Harris has served on three warships, including HMS Chatham, towards the end of the second Gulf War. Ashore he undertook a spell as a Divisional Officer at Britannia Royal Naval College and later became Training Execution Officer at the world-renowned college, responsible for the day-to-day delivery of initial officer training.

On promotion to Commander in 2008, Capt Harris was appointed to the Permanent Joint Headquarters at Northwood. His responsibilities there included the delivery of operational welfare and the repatriation of the deceased during the concurrent drawdown of personnel from Iraq and at the height of operations in Afghanistan.

From Northwood, Capt Harris became the Group Logistics Commander for the Commander

New man at the helm...Capt Harris is delighted to return to HMS Raleigh Amphibious Task Group based in Plymouth, where he was involved in the co-ordination of Operation Ellamy, the name given to the UK participation in the military intervention in Libya in 2011.

Following postings to Whitehall and the Navy Command Headquarters in Portsmouth, Capt Harris was promoted to his current rank last November and was appointed Deputy Head of Royal Navy Media Communications and Engagement.

Capt Harris replaces Capt Ellie Ablett as the Commanding Officer of HMS Raleigh. Capt Ablett left the establishment in August, after two years in charge, to take up a new appointment as the Head of People Capability at Navy Command Headquarters on promotion to Commodore.

Flower power with the Torpoint Players The annual Torpoint Carnival was gifted with the lovely sunshine which made the whole event more pleasurable.

The stalls, charity and local clubs were kept busy with sales and enquiries during the event, which also featured plenty of music and entertainment. There was music from Torpoint Town Band with singing by the children from Torpoint Nursery and Infant School and a superb medley of modern songs form Megan Crago.

Coppola School of Dance and Drama students entertained with dancing from groups of all ages which kept the attention of the hundreds of people who attended.

St John Ambulance, HM Coastguard and a crew from Torpoint fire station brought their vehicles for the children to explore, which was a great experience for many youngsters.

Food and liquid refreshment was plentiful around Cambridge field so the various

vendors were happy and the bouncy castle was at full stretch all afternoon.

Fancy dress judging took place before the parade through the town, led by the HMS Drake volunteer band and back to Cambridge field.

A group of volunteer marshalls had a safety brief before the parade set off making the route safe.

Well done to all the volunteers who work tirelessly to make such events happen and to see the townsfolk out enjoying their day must be very rewarding.

Local children with additional needs discover new sporting opportunities with YMCA Children from Carbeile Junior School have attended a series of taster sessions over the summer to try out new sports and activities at YMCA Torpoint. The sessions were specifically for pupils with autism, cerebral palsy and other additional needs, with the aim of helping them build confidence and skills through sport.

Juliet Evans, SENCO at Carbeile Junior School said “The afternoons at YMCA Torpoint were great fun and the children enjoyed it immensely!”

On the day children took part in sports including trampolining, table tennis, football, and a variety of other sports. The sessions were held specifically for the school as part of the ‘YMCA Inclusive’ project ran by YMCA Torpoint, which delivers sessions every other Saturday at the Torpoint & Rame Community Sports Centre, from 10:30am – 12pm.

The aim of the club is to offer young people with additional needs a safe environment to try new sports and activities as well as to socialise and build their confidence. It also offers parents and guardians the opportunity to discuss their experiences and receive support and guidance.

One parent who’s son attends the sessions at YMCA said: “My son Zac has mild cerebral palsy, hypermobility, dyspraxia and has sensory issues.

Since coming to the sessions here, his social skills have improved drastically and Zac has grown into a confident boy.”

Jason Richards, sports development officer at YMCA Torpoint said “We’re really happy that so many young people were able to come along and try something new thanks to our partnership with Carbeile School.

The benefits of sport are great for everyone, but for children with additional needs they can be truly life changing.”

“Due to the success of the event we’ve decided to offer another free session that’s open to everyone on Satuday October 20. So we’d like to invite all parents and children with additional needs to come along, take part, and find out more about the club.”

The free taster session will involve trampolining, table tennis, football, crazy catch, soft play, bouncy castle fun and much more and will be held at Torpoint & Rame Community Sports Centre. To find out more, contact YMCA Torpoint on 01752 815172.

Award-winning Rame Male Voice Choir keep as busy as ever There has been no time to rest on their laurels for the award-winning Rame Peninsula Male Voice Choir.

They hosted their fourth and final outdoor concert of the summer on The Green at Kingsand just four days after they were presented with the Queen’s Award for Voluntary Service by Cornwall’s Deputy Lord Lieutenant, Colonel Edward Bolitho, at a ceremony in Torpoint St James’s Church at the end of August.

The men’s choir – the first in Britain to receive the award – took the opportunity to present Dr David Hilton, director of Derriford Hospital Oncology Laboratory, with a cheque for £5,500, bringing to £17,000 the total they have raised for cancer equipment there in the past year.

Some 250 people braved a chill evening in Kingsand, putting their hands deep in pockets - not for warmth, but for charity. And on September 9, the

The full choir, plus their folk, sea shanty and rock ensemble, Halfway Harmony, were in action, singing in the lifeboat station.

This was a particularly appropriate venue. Halfway Harmony’s latest CD, Home From the Sea, features the song of that name by folk legend Phil Coulter.

He wrote it as a tribute to the bravery of volunteer lifeboatmen following the death by drowning of his brother.

On October 12 the Rame men join with the ladies’

choir, Keltique, for a Musical Showtime evening in Torpoint Council Chambers (7pm), and on October 14 (3pm) they perform at the Harvest of the Sea service, supporting the Fishermen’s Mission in Cawsand Congregational Church.

On Thursday October 25 they will help launch the British Legion Poppy Appeal in St James’s Church, Torpoint.

They also performed at the funeral of Jim Parsonage, and are due to do so at a celebration of the life of muchloved bass, Dave Bennett.

The choir welcomes visitors and new members at weekly rehearsals in Kingsand Community Hall (7.30pm).

Message from Torpoint Mayor Lambert Kiese By the time you read this communication the annual town carnival will be over for yet another year. You can see a fantastic collection of photos from the event on the centre pages of this issue. I would like to take this opportunity to once again say thank you to the many volunteers who have given their time to make the event such a tremendous success, enjoyed by all.

It doesn’t take much to imagine the amount of time and effort it takes to put on an event such as the carnival and without volunteers it would not be possible. Many already give their time to the various events and organisations in Torpoint, and I’m sure they would join me in saying, they are far and few between.

Anyone can be a volunteer - the only qualification needed is a passion to give something back to the people and community in which we live. Whether it’s working in or out doors, mentally or physical, with others or on your own, Torpoint needs you.

Major forthcoming events where volunteers will be essential are: • Road Marshalls for Remembrance Sunday November 11 • Lantern making workshop for the Christmas Lights parade at the switch on of the Christmas Lights Saturday November 24 • Erection of Christmas Lights in Fore Street Sunday November 25 • Christmas Lights Switch On in Fore Street Saturday December 1 • Christmas Day Lunch St James Church Tuesday December 25 If you are keen and able to assist further details can be obtained from Torpoint Council Chambers, 1-3 Buller Road, Torpoint PL11 2LD Email: admin@torpointtowncouncil.gov.uk Tel: 01752 814165

Details of organisations in Torpoint you may wish to volunteer for can be found on www.torpointtowncouncil.gov.uk. Also the CHAT Directory, available from the CHAT Shop Fore Street, Torpoint and various other locations within the town.

Congratulations to Resilience Communications for their extraordinary award of two Queen’s Awards for Enterprise: for Innovation and Overseas Trade in 2018.

Zig-zag parkers face penalties Parents dropping their children off to class and stopping in their school’s ‘keep clear zone’ could in future face penalty notices as new tougher parking rules come into operation.

A new Traffic Regulation Order came into effect in September making it an offence to stop or park on the markings at any time, even to drop off or pick up passengers.

The zones are marked off to keep the space outside of schools free from parked vehicles so that children can be seen more easily when crossing the road. They also help to provide a clear

field of vision for other vulnerable road users when they are crossing the road.

Any vehicle parked on these markings may now be issued with a Penalty Charge Notice of £70.

Cornwall Council and CORMAC has been working with schools, residents and local councillors across Cornwall over the last 18 months to review the existing zig-zag markings outside schools. Many schools also work with the council and Sustrans to encourage children to walk, scoot or cycle to school which helps further ease congestion around school gates.

Resilience Communications design and manufactures products that add value to communications systems. Councillor Rachel Tanner BEM attended the Awards ceremony in August, on my behalf, and described the occasion as truly momentous, winning two awards in a single year is unique for a Cornish company, this is a significant achievement, well done and congratulations again to all the staff at Resilience Communications.

Congratulations also to the Rame Peninsula Male Voice Choir who were formally presented with the Queen’s Award for Voluntary Service at a ceremony in St James Church on August 24. The Rame choristers are the first men’s choir in Britain to receive this award, raising more than £250,000 since their inception in 1976. All three Queen’s Awards were presented in the town by Colonel Edward Bolitho, Lord Lieutenant of Cornwall.

Regrettably I have to report further incidents of fly tipping in and around Torpoint. This unfortunate practice not only visually, but environmentally is a blot on our magnificent locality. Incidents of fly tipping can be reported via Cornwall Council’s Report It page at https://secure.cornwall.gov.uk/ selfservice/citizenportal/form.aspx?form=Report_ Fly_Tipping&tmpl=Report_Fly_Tipping Photographic evidence can be uploaded to the Report It page and this is very useful when compiling evidence. There are 13 household waste and recycling centres in Cornwall, for household waste that cannot be collected. Within a short distance of Torpoint are: Brunel Recycling Ltd., Saltash PL12 6PJ and Connon Bridge, Liskeard PL14 4NP You can also donate usable furniture and household items to RE: SOURCE in Bodmin PL31 1ET, 01208 269296; Cornwall and Plymouth Furniture Reuse Project, or charity shops.

Recycling is everyone’s responsibility! Until next month...

Control your tongue If we put a bit into the mouths of horses, with a rein we can guide a horse even though it is so large. Also a small rudder on a ship will guide and direct a huge vessel. Our tongue too is a small part of our body, and yet it can have huge influence.

Much has been written about the effect of social media. Wonderful and helpful medium as it is, but also, as we know, a medium that has been used to cause all sorts of harm.

There have been the cyber bullies, the trolls, who have used the anonimity of the internet to abuse other individuals in the public eye in gross ways.

Some people have received so much on line abuse and cyber bullying they have even taken their lives in order to escape the torture of words.

‘Sticks and stones may break your bones but words can never hurt you’ the old saying goes. But that is not true. Broken bones and cuts and grazes will heal but the name calling or unfair comments will last much longer. You can say something hurtful in ten seconds, but ten years later the wounds are still there.

Jesus said: ‘It is not what goes into the mouth that defiles a person, but what comes out. For out of the heart comes good and evil.’

Our tongues can be used to insult or encourage others. It is a choice we all have. We can console, express love and concern for others, or we can chastise undermine, ridicule and complain. We all have that powerful instrument of the tongue that we can use for better or for worse.

How great a forest is set ablaze by a small tongue of flame from a match?

Our own tongues can be just as damaging. How many of us have said something and then come to regret it later. James in his letter in the bible writes “From the same mouth come blessing and cursing.”

James is commending us to guard our heart. To have a care for what comes out of us and to use our tongues and lips to elevate not desecrate, to build up, not to tear down. By a few word we can lift another’s spirits, or we can dash their dreams. We have a choice how we use our tongue. It is a choice we all can make for better or worse. Which shall it be?

I have used the metaphors used by James in his letter in the New Testament.

Royal British Legion Standard Bearers parade through Ypres in Belgium as part of GP90 Steve Lewis the County Chairman of The Royal British Legion in Cornwall led a delegation to Ypres to take part in a parade commemorating the last 100 days of the First World War. The event was called GP90 - standing for the Great Pilgrimage 90 years on.

In the weeks leading up to the event, Steve contacted local schools and attached wording they had compiled to the centre of his wreath, which he laid at the Menin Gate in a huge service on August 8.

RBL branches throughout Cornwall were represented including Torpoint, Saltash, Liskeard, Callington and Tideford & St Germans.

As Steve explained: “In excess of 60 coaches with over 1100 Standards and Wreath Layers were part of the ceremony. It was an amazing sight to behold.”

Steve and his colleagues from Cornwall and Devon had a profound time in Belgium. These are a few of his diary excerpts.

“Delville Wood was my first visit to a dedicated CWGC

Cemetery. Although I was advised it was small by comparison, there are still 5,523 soldiers buried here although more than 3,500 remain unidentified. The Cemetery was beautifully set out and certainly brought up the inner emotions. ‘The Last Tree’ was the only original

Hornbeam left standing after a mega bombardment that saw between 300 - 400 shells fall per minute. The tree is studded with shell fragments.”

“I finally made it to Ypres after wishing to do so since joining the RBL IN 2007. We were given 2 hours to peruse the town but

s pilgrimage to Ypres

I spent most of my time in silence at the Menin Gate checking out all of its sides. It really is incredible just how many men are listed here (54,000 unknown graves up to 16 August 1917). It is so sad that so many had to die for what sometimes seems very little.”

“The privilege of playing Last Post was given to buglers of the local volunteer Fire Brigade. The first sounding of Last Post took place

on 1 July 1928 and a daily ceremony was carried on for about four months. From 11 November 1929 the Last Post has been sounded at the Menin Gate Memorial every night and in all weathers. The only exception to this was during the German occupation of Ypres from 1940 to 1944.

“The daily ceremony was instead continued in England at Brookwood Military Cemetery, Surrey. On the

very evening that Polish forces liberated Ypres the ceremony was resumed at the Menin Gate, despite heavy fighting still going on in other parts of the town. Bullet marks can still be seen on the memorial from that time.”

“On our return our Battlefield Guide, Jon Wort, put on the film ‘Testament of Youth.’ Having seen the thousands of marked and unmarked graves, Memorial

Walls for those who were never even found and now watching this film, I got a serious appreciation of what the Western Front was all about. Imagining parents seeing their loved ones depart for War and receiving the all too inevitable telegram from the Ministry, to watching the anguish experienced

by Vera Britain both at home and Volunteer Nursing at the Front Line, took me completely over the

emotional top as if someone had blown the whistle for me too. I had a while where I was left completely broken and unable to speak or move on the coach.

“The horrors of The Great War even 100 years on are never likely to be fully appreciated by any of us but having undertaken this Pilgrimage, the least I can do is show and Pay my Respects to those who gave their all for me.”
