Woodlands Park Primary School choir performing with the U3A choir

life is local

news Monthly musings WOODLANDS PARK PRIMARY SCHOOL

from the editor

A fabulous evening of music was enjoyed by a sell-out audience at a concert in aid of Ivybridge Dementia Support Group at the end of June.

There were performances from the U3A choir, Odyssey and soloists Andy and Robyn Westcott and Frances Green, but the undoubted stars of the show were the children of the Woodlands Park Primary School choir, who performed on their own as well as joining with other performers for a number of songs.

The evening raised £700 for the Ivybridge Dementia Support Group and a cheque was accepted by Frances Green on behalf of the group.

Magnificent Les Mis Amazing, spectacular and certainly not “miserable” by Lesley Andreassen FROM THE FIRST bars of Look Down to the 10 minute standing ovation, the audience was completely enthralled by Ivybridge Community College’s fantastic performance of Les Misérables.

With the popularity of the recent film version, and having experienced the show in various guises (including London’s West End), I was intrigued to find out how the college would pull it off. I was not disappointed - this was one of the best versions I have seen.

The scenery was simple but effective and the whole cast, from primary school children to 6th formers were well rehearsed and believable, particularly in some of the more challenging ‘adult’ settings such as the Lovely Ladies set.

Frazer Wearne and John Archer as arch enemies Jean Valjean and Javert deserve a special mention for the maturity and professionalism they brought to both parts – it was easy to forget they are both so young, particularly during the iconic Bring Him Home. facebook.com/theivybridgemagazine

It is hard to single out any one person because the whole cast were fantastic, but I have a soft spot for Fantine and Vicki May in that role with that voice was worthy of a West End show.

However, the unsung heroes must surely be the college orchestra – the show would be nothing without the music and the hard work that must have gone into their apparently effortless performance must have been incredible – they were amazing.

Included in the category of unsung heroes are the behind the scenes people who rarely get a mention – Amy Clarke, as the director, must be nothing short of a genius to organise so many young people and produce such a spectacle.

As the old London tagline said: “Fight to get a ticket” – I hope you did just that otherwise you missed a truly memorable night.

twitter.com/ivybridgemag

If, like me, you were fortunate enough to see Ivybridge Community College’s production of Les Misérables, are you struggling to find a superlative that does justice to the young people who put on such an incredible show? It was a production of the highest, highest quality in every respect – atmospheric sets, brilliant orchestral music and superb singing performances – which thoroughly deserved the rousing standing ovations which started with the dress rehearsals and greeted all five performances.

The maturity of the performances by the leads ensured the emotions of this iconic show were as taut as any professional production.

Very well done to all involved.

School’s out, so we have a special summer holiday what’s on section this month. There is lots to do in and around Ivybridge for all ages over the next month, from sport and leisure, craft and art, to days out.

Do you know someone who makes an invaluable contribution to the community? If so, show your appreciation by nominating them for the town’s Citizen of the Year Award - entry details are on page 10.

The pickpocket gang with Fagin and Oliver

■ in brief

Thank you The organisers of Christian Aid Week for Ivybridge Bittaford and Harford would like to thank all who contributed in any way. £5,880.12 was raised.

Civic service A service to celebrate life in the town is being held at St John’s Parish Church on Sunday, 11 August, starting at 10.30am.

The civic service will also see the formal dedication of the Colonel Hartley memorial and mark the launch of a consultation on the future of the Victorian parish church.

Ivybridge on map A new website is putting Ivybridge on the cycling map.

Matron’s milestone Anne Taylor (right), matron at Beaconville Nursing Home, is celebrating a decade in the role.

Said Anne: “We specialise in dementia cases and even now we still see examples of how people don’t really understand the disease. Huge progress has been made over the last 10 years, and hopefully this will continue over the next 10.”

Stowford Year 6 children amazed staff, children, parents, friends and family when they showcased their performance skills in their end of year production of Oliver. Their version of the classic musical, which included every pupil in the year group, was prepared in just two weeks, and included musical solos and some wonderful group dances. Impressive stage sets were produced by an extremely creative props team, who made everything on a shoe string budget, sprinkled with a large amount of natural talent.

House of Lords honour THE POSITIVE IMPACT of physical education on schools was celebrated at a VIP reception at the House of Lords attended by Ivybridge Community College principal Rob Haring.

Mr Haring was selected by the Youth Sport Trust to attend the event as one of 15 ‘Headteacher Ambassadors for Sport’ thanks to Ivybridge Community College’s strong record of sporting and academic excellence.

Hosted by Baroness Sue Campbell, the event also gave an insight into how schools can build on the success of the 2012 Olympics, and highlighted key aspects of PE best practice that can be put into practise to raise student aspirations.

“I’m honoured that, as principal of Ivybridge Community College, I was one of a select few that were chosen to attend such an exclusive event,” said Rob. “We were one of the first specialist sports colleges in the UK in 1996, so our students have benefitted hugely over the past 17 years from the contribution that physical education has played in both their enrichment and academic success.

“At the reception, Baroness Campbell spoke passionately about how last year’s Olympics can be used to further motivate young people and improve their lives through PE and sport.”

Mr Haring also had the opportunity to hear from key government officials about the latest developments in educational policy and discuss initiatives with headmasters from other leading schools across the country.

New dog controls

Morag in final MORAG ROWSE, activities organiser at Beaconville Nursing Home, has made it through to the final in the Employee of the Year category of this year’s Devon Venus Women in Business Awards.

There was huge support for Morag during the public vote, who will now attend a gala dinner at Exeter University in September, where the overall winner will be announced.

NEW DOG CONTROL Orders are due to come into force from October 1, 2013.

The South Hams-wide orders will replace existing byelaws and legislation which currently cover dog fouling and dog walking and will regularise the rules on where dogs can and cannot go, including parks and beaches.

They will also make it clear when and where dogs must be on leads and formalise the council’s anti-fouling policy.

Town and parish councils can also introduce their own Dog Control Orders if there is a specific need, but would need to consult the District Council first.

The plans have been welcomed by many of the residents and organisations who took part in a recent consultation.

To find out more, visit www.southhams.gov.uk or call 01803 861234.

news Come and sing “OPERA CHORUSES” is the theme of the fourth Come & Sing all-day workshop taking place this September.

Simon Ible, director of Music at the University of Plymouth and conductor of the Ten Tors Orchestra, will again lead the workshop at The Watermark on Saturday, 28 September, 2013, which is followed by an informal public performance.

Come & Sing runs from 10am and costs £14 per singer. Copies of the music will be available on the day.

The performance is free, but donations will be accepted for St Luke’ Hospice. Seats are limited so, if you want to come and listen, reserve a place via the Watermark box office (01752) 892220.

Application forms are available from Ann Laity, laity@btinternet.com or by telephone (01752) 691648.

letter: Objections to wind turbine plan Dear Sir – An important planning application has been submitted to South Hams District Council by developers REG Windpower, who wish to erect a single, large commercial wind turbine at Luson Farm, Ley Green, Westlake, Ivybridge – application No. 21/1640/13/F. The application is for a “wind energy development comprising of the erection, up to 25 years operation and subsequent decommissioning of 1 no. turbine with an overall tip height of 86.5m above existing ground level, together with access tracks, temporary works, hardstanding areas, electricity substation and cabling and alterations to the existing vehicular access off the junction at Ley Green”.

This project will affect the visual amenity of everyone living in Ivybridge and the surrounding districts. Communities are objecting to this application because: • The enormous visual impact the proposal will have on the character of the surrounding landscape. The site is overlooked by Dartmoor National Park, the Erme Valley and the South Devon AONB. • The 86.5m (284 ft) high turbine will dominate the skyline, with a loss of visual amenity for thousands of people.

• The turbine is in very close proximity to homes, just 600m from the closest village. facebook.com/theivybridgemagazine

twitter.com/ivybridgemag

• The turbine will have a highly detrimental impact on the Heritage Assets of Ermington Parish, as well as the historical artefacts of Dartmoor National Park, the South Devon AONB, and Flete Estate.

• There is a proven danger to wildlife. REG has identified eight bird species of ‘high conservation concern status’ and greater and lesser horseshoe bats.

• This is purely a commercial venture. None of the electricity will feed directly into local homes.

• We believe in the right renewables, in the right location, which also provide a lasting community benefit.

We would urge you all to formally object to the proposal by writing individually to: Ms Kati Owen, The Planning Department, South Hams District Council, Follaton House, Plymouth Road, Totnes, TQ9 5NE The application reference number is 21/1640/13/F and letters have to be received by Friday, 9 August, 2013.

It is important to write individual letters, and if you choose to go online, you should tick the “Object” button, as this will be counted.

Latest news from Ivybridge Town Council THE DAVID BRITTON CITIZEN OF THE YEAR AWARD 2013 Ivybridge Town Council is once again delighted to announce that it is seeking nominations for the Citizen of the Year Award 2013, which has been renamed The David Britton Citizen of the Year Award.

This prestigious award will be given to the person whom the Council feel has provided an invaluable input into the community and have made a difference through their involvement in the town.

The criteria includes those who solely volunteer within the community and, as in previous years, the award does cover people living outside the town although they must have provided a service valued by people in Ivybridge.

Last year, the award was given to the late Mr David Britton posthumously in recognition of his volunteering and dedication to work within the town.

If you know of any person please write to Ivybridge Town Council, Erme Court, Leonards Road, Ivybridge, PL21 0SZ (or email the information to susanhocking@ivybridge. gov.uk) giving details of their name, address and reasons why they should be put forward to receive such an award and also include your own name and address.

The nominations will be considered by the Town Council in October and the winner will receive a presentation from the Mayor in late Autumn.

All entries must be received by Monday 23rd September 2013.

BUSINESS IN IVYBRIDGE Ivybridge Town Council is looking for innovative ways to support small businesses in Ivybridge. We will shortly be announcing the return of the Breakfast Networking Event which is open to all businesses in Ivybridge and the surrounding area. It should become an opportunity to learn from other enterprises in the area, as well as a chance to discover what services are available locally.

We also have some available units in The Watermark Business Centre. They offer excellent value as they include your own phone line, electricity, heating and 24 hour access. The lease is on one month, easy in, easy out terms, so if you are just starting out or are looking to take the first steps into expansion, you can do so with no long term commitments. We can put you in touch with various free or low cost business support providers and you will be working in a thriving business environment.

Contact Ivybridge Town Council for more information.

The Ivybridge & District Camera Club’s exhibition of photographs in The Watermark will shortly reach its third changeover of images, when the current pictures are changed at the end of July.

The images represent some of the best photographs taken by members of the camera club over the last year or so. Often, members and visitors see their photographs at club meetings just the once only, so an exhibition is an excellent way to study them for longer.

The club is currently having a summer break, so the next meeting is a practical evening on Tuesday, 3 September.

Alas, the nautical gremlin returned and the dauntless matelots had to return to base on Tuesday morning. Battered by wind, rain and rough seas, the sickly crew limped into the shelter of Plymouth harbour.

Repairs were completed on Wednesday, but Skipper Thomas decided Thursday’s weather was no better than Tuesdays, so a change of plan was needed. Undeterred, the crew decided that a voyage of discovery up the Tamar River was a comfortable compromise.

ARE YOU UP FOR THE CHALLENGE? There is lots on at Ivybridge Library this month, with a host of fun activities planned for the school summer holiday.

The library’s regular events are ongoing, too.

The Summer Reading Challenge (SRC) has been set. This year’s theme is Creepy House and children (aged 4-11) are asked to read six books of their choice throughout the summer holidays. They will receive a game board when they register, then collect stickers and rewards as they read their books.

There will be a Zombie Party on 14 September when the children who have completed the challenge will receive their medals and certificates.

There are loads of fun activities lined up to support the SRC. All take

place from 10am until 12 noon. Children under 8 must be accompanied by an adult. ➤ Tuesday 30th July Make your own Creepy House (no charge). ➤ Tuesday 6th August Dogworthy’s Summer Magic, a puppet show for 4-8 year olds.

A mysterious

Fabulous food can be healthy RUNNING BEACON Outdoor Fitness (BOF) is a lot of fun and supporting members to get fit and healthy is very rewarding, but getting the message across that the nutrition side is equally important as the exercise is not always an easy task, writes Kara Thompson.

Working with Masterchef winner Anton Piotriowski over the past year has really helped members realise that you can still enjoy great tasting, healthy food, therefore, we decided that a Healthy Food Festival might be a good idea to help promote the healthier way of life, support local producers and use it as an opportunity to raise money for local charities.

BOF’s first Healthy Food Festival took place on Friday, 5 July, at The Treby Arms, Sparkwell. Local produce by local producers was on sale throughout the day and an amazing Treby barbecue of mackeral, jumbo prawns, burgers and sausages, all with the Treby signature flavour and twist, was cooked up by Anton and one of his chefs.

Anton also treated the kids to some beautiful homemade ice creams, which went down a storm!

Ivybridge Fish Company ran a stall offering one-to-one filleting lessons, with guests able take their filleted fish to the barbecue to be cooked by Anton.

In the evening, there was a VIP meal for BOF members, with even more amazing courses to satisfy the taste buds. Live music from Three’s Company finished off the evening, a perfect note on which to finish a great day. facebook.com/theivybridgemagazine

ABOUT IVYBRIDGE

BY MARGERY EVANS AND CELIA RALPH CLIVE BROWN

H

erpetophobia – the fear of snakes. Are you one of these unfortunate people, or have you heard of someone who suffers with this phobia? Is it the slithering movement of these reptiles, a fear of being bitten, or their apparent moistness (actually they are quite dry) which contributes to this fear?

There are three varieties of native snakes in the British Isles. They are the grass snake, the adder (or viper), and the extremely rare smooth snake, the latter not being found in this area.

Snakes, as with other reptiles, bask in the early morning sun so as to reach a body temperature at which their muscles, senses and digestion are fully active. This is the time when you may be lucky enough to see one.

Otherwise, they are timid creatures, far more frightened of us, moving away when they sense danger.

The adder is our only native poisonous snake. They like open places such as moorland, scrubland and heaths. They mostly eat small mammals such as mice and voles, one meal lasting a week or so.

Each snake grows up to 65cm long, varying in colour from grey to brown, and sometimes black, but the distinguishing features are the zigzag markings along the back, and a large dark V shape on the head. Adders hibernate in a cool, dry place from October until March.

A sight occasionally seen are the males ‘dancing’ – rearing and swaying – trying to force each other to the FIND OUT MORE 18

prey to hedgehogs, rats, kestrels, buzzards, and our own cats. Their one defence is that, if caught by their tail, they are able to shed it, and wriggle away to safety. The stump will grow again, but never to its original length.

The moorland to the north, and surrounding fields, plus the many hedgerows forming highways for these creatures, make ideal habitat, with the possibility that they will be seen. Please remember that they are all protected by law.

ground. They are wrestling to win a female. She will give birth to 10 or more fullyformed youngsters in August or September.

Adders have few enemies apart from man, but if provoked will bite. For humans, bites are rarely fatal, but dog owners should be aware that their free-running inquisitive pets do face the danger of being bitten.

Grass snakes are longer.

To distinguish these, look for the two yellow or white patches on its neck, and the black bars along the flank.

They will be found in damp grass, ditches, streams or maybe garden ponds. They are excellent swimmers, eating mostly amphibians. The female lays her eggs in a place where heat is generated, such as grass or compost heaps, the young emerging now in August.

Several Ivybridge residents have discovered and photographed grass snake eggs and the youngsters. The picture above was taken in a Blachford Road garden.

These young snakes are often taken by birds and hedgehogs.

The most common ‘snake’ we hear about is not a snake at all, but a legless lizard. It is the slow-worm, and for some reason sometimes called the blind snake. You are privileged if you have slowworms in your garden, as they are the gardener’s friend, eating slugs. As with the snakes, they also hibernate, and seek warm spots where they sometimes bask in the sun, although they do prefer to lie under warm metal such as corrugated iron.

Slow-worms have a shiny appearance, their colours ranging from brown to grey.

The females incubate their eggs internally. In the late summer, each golden young slow-worm is born in the membranous egg which breaks open in seconds.

These tiny creatures have many predators, such as birds, frogs and toads, and they take about three years to mature. Their parents also have a precarious life, being

At the time of writing, the four radio tagged Dartmoor cuckoos, Dart, Ryder, Tor and Whortle are in France heading south. Log on occasionally to see their progress.

A couple of peregrines, one of each sex, have successfully fledged at Plymbridge.

Their parents are teaching them how to catch prey, mostly pigeons. There have been several forced landings.

Our local dippers and grey wagtails have also had a successful year. Watch out for them from the town bridges over the River Erme.

Next walk The next DWT event is on Thursday, 15 August, starting at Drakeford Bridge, Pullabrook, near Lustleigh at 10.30 am. It is a circular walk looking out mainly for butterflies and dragonflies. Contact 01364 642007.

TAKE BETTER

Photos

More tips on how to improve the images you take using your digital camera

BY DAVID RAYNER OF IVYBRIDGE AND DISTRICT CAMERA CLUB

INSECTS MAKE interesting subjects to photograph and are plentiful at this time of year, appearing in almost everyone’s gardens. If you have a small pond you are especially fortunate, but if not, Filham Park provides a wonderful source of insects around the lake.

Insects are small though, and so we have several conflicting photographic requirements.

We’ll start by setting the camera to aperture priority, as depth of field will need to be controlled.

There are two ways to get the insect reasonably large in the image. One way is to use the telephoto end of your zoom range and the other is to use a ‘macro’ setting, if you have one.

Both have their own issues.

Telephoto settings result in the camera having to be held further from the subject before focus can be achieved. If you have a FIND OUT MORE 22

thread on your lens the simple remedy is to fit a low-cost ‘dioptre’ filter, which will allow you to get closer. If not, simply take care not to go too close.

The macro setting provides a great way of focussing at close distances, but it gives a very shallow depth of field – often unusable for some insects. It also puts the camera so close that the insect is in shadow and is scared away. Try it out, but revert to using tele-zoom for larger, timid insects.

We’d like to have the background out of focus, but ideally we want the entire insect sharp. The natural idea of using a wide aperture is not always the best. It is often a good idea to use a middling aperture, of say f8, to help keep the insect sharp and simply rely on getting close up to put the background out of focus.

Getting close does increase the size of the insect in your image, but brings issues of it’s own in that it is easy to scare off the insect before you can press the shutter. The trick here is to be patient. Insects often return to an almost identical place after a few minutes. Also, if you move slowly and keep your shadow off the insect it will often stay in place.

Another depth-of-field trick to use is to place the camera sideways on to long insects, or flat on to insects such as butterflies that have wings open.

That way, the majority of the insect will be in focus.

At close distances to the subject, the slightest movement of the camera will be critical. You won’t feel comfortable using a tripod, so take extreme care to hold the camera steady for a good time after pressing the shutter.

Press the shutter halfway to activate the focus and once focus is achieved complete the press as soon as possible. The slightest movement of the camera between achieving focus and the image being captured will result in an outof focus subject.

Insects and birds are nearly always on the move and the slightest jitter of a wing or body will appear soft or burred in the image.

We need a high shutter speed to counteract this, and a high shutter speed will also help to achieve a blur-free image when hand-holding the camera.

We’ve already been constricted with the aperture as seen above, so our remedy is to increase the ISO setting to help increase the shutter speed naturally. Go as high with ISO as your camera will allow without causing objectionably noisy images.

Pets’corner Pet advice from Woodlands Veterinary Group

HOW SAFE IS YOUR GARDEN? We are all hoping to enjoy a long summer of sunshine in our gardens, but how safe is your garden for pets and wildlife?

Top of the list for gardenrelated pet fatalities is slug bait poisoning; active ingredient metaldehyde. If you must use it, buy the soluble kind that you water on, or if using pellets, hide them under plastic containers that can be pegged into the ground. This way, slugs can still crawl into them, but pets can’t see them and be tempted to eat them.

Do not rely on the label saying the pellets contain a repellent for pets. Slugs that have died after consuming the bait are toxic to hedgehogs that feed on them.

Dogs are more likely to succumb to slug bait poisoning than cats, which are famously fussy about what they eat.

If the amount ingested is not too large and the animal is presented for treatment quickly, then it may be possible to save your pet’s life.

Metaldehyde causes continuous, severe convulsions in pets which, if untreated, rapidly causes death. I remember treating a little collie cross dog in Ivybridge and we had to keep her in a medically in-

duced coma for nearly 48 hours before she stopped fitting and against all the odds recovered and is alive and well today.

Most weed killers are toxic to pets and should be treated with respect. Always read the label and follow instructions, keep the packet out of reach and safely dispose of any unused solution immediately and rinse out your watering can or sprayer.

Preventing pets’ access to treated grass or plants is important and this applies to rabbits and guinea pigs, too.

Shut your pets inside whilst you use weed killers and pesticides so that they cannot walk through spilt products that they will then lick off their feet or coat.

Another hazard is uncovered water butts. We have experienced two tragic cases of owners finding their cats drowned in the water butt. Usually this is either an old cat that slipped in or young cats whose curiosity got the better of them and they died as they couldn’t get a purchase on the steep smooth sides and get out – exhausted, they drown.

Also, if you have a garden pool make sure that there is a shallow end or rocks to en-

able an unwitting thirsty creature from tumbling in and being unable to get out.

If you are strimming be mindful of slow worms, frogs and hedgehogs that may be in the undergrowth. I have treated many hedgehogs with amputated limbs and other horrific injuries caused by strimmers.

Be mindful when using garden netting, as small animals like grass snakes and hedgehogs can get entangled and often perish. Grass snakes like water and so may become entangled in pond netting. They are not toxic and if you hold them behind the head with the finger and thumb of one hand, you will be able to cut them free and release them. They eat many garden pests so are to be treasured, not

feared (see Wild About Ivybridge on page 27).

If you do come across an injured or ill hedgehog in your garden, it is definitely worth putting on a pair of thick gardening gloves and putting it in a box with hay or shredded newspaper and taking it to you local vets. We will treat the hedgehog and have a list of dedicated hedgehog rescuers who will nurse them back to health and rehabilitate them. (Maybe back to your garden if you can show that it is hedgehog friendly and you don’t use slug bait.)

With a little thought, your garden can be a haven for birds and native wildlife and safe for your pets, too.

I hope you have an excellent summer and manage to spend lots of time relaxing in your garden.

The heat of competition ● golf THE SUN CERTAINLY shone on club president, and senior vet, Bill Purser’s recent golf days, which were a tremendous success, raising more than £700, most of which will go to fund essential work on the course, writes Vets’ captain Len Simpson.

The vets have enjoyed many competition and matches, which have been brilliantly supported, with several members improving their handicaps. Competition secretary, Maurice Mercy, is renowned for his varied and imaginative programme, and as well as regular rollups, open on the day to all vets, he presides over the many annual competitions.

The prestigious Bill Dove Cup was won by Bob Andrews, with a magnificent net 64 The Medford, a fiendish mixture

of medal and stableford, was played in searing heat. Twenty-two pairs braved the mid-day sun, but, despite their best efforts, no pair could match the stunning performance of Pete Swift, playing medal, and his stableford partner, John Fox, who defeated their closest rivals, Terry Tyler and Len Simpson, by a clear nine strokes.

July’s vets’ matches proved equally competitive and successful.

Victory against Staddon Heights at home was followed by a draw away to Elfordleigh, but the home fixture against Dartmouth, as always extremely hard-fought, proved a hurdle too far.

Another closely-contested match was the annual fixture against the ladies, which resulted in a friendly, morale-boosting 31/2 to 21/2 victory.
