Molton Monthly - November 2022

Welcome to the November edition of Molton Monthly. What turbulent times we are living in. Not just the chaos in parliament as another prime minister quits, there’s climate change, the war in Ukraine, Brexit and the cost of living crisis - all are intertwined in some way.

Spiralling energy costs are affecting us all, and now they have claimed South Molton swimming pool. Talks are underway to try to save it, but it is a big commitment for anyone to take on without financial help.

Then there is the war in Ukraine which has left refugees, who fled to North Devon to escape the war, devastated by deadly missile attacks on their home city. “We want to live peacefully again, to dream, travel and enjoy life!” said Olena Subocheva, speaking from her host family’s home in South Molton. As a ‘wounded’ President Putin launches indiscriminate attacks on cities across Ukraine, Olena urges you not to forget those ordinary people caught up in the war.

In this issue, you can also read how South Molton Naval Officer William Adams played a key role in the Queen’s funeral. And finally, congratulations to the South Molton in Bloom volunteers who scooped gold for the second year running - well done to all involved! Peter Robinson, Editor & publisher

Autumn’s arms reaching out by Roger Shattock

Contact Molton Monthly: 07484 290500 email: info@moltonmonthly.co.uk06

Autumn is a magical time of year, with rich colours bursting out in our countryside, as nature says goodbye to old growth ready for its next season of renewal.

And perhaps nowhere looks more beautiful than Exmoor, with its rolling hills, open moorland and deep valleys caressed by the flow of rivers and babbling brooks.

Roger Shattock captured the true feeling of autumn glory for our November photo of the month, near Tarr Steps.

“Photography is just something I enjoy doing to focus the mind on a single moment of time. It helps me provide clarity of mind in what is such a busy world. I hope your readers enjoy!” Roger told Molton Monthly.

Deadly missile attacks hit Ukrainian refugees’ home city

“I am horrified - unbearable pain, tears choke me. I would like to say that it is so terrible that I could not even imagine it in any nightmare. It is very painful to see the suffering of people who are not guilty of anything,” said Olena Subocheva, speaking to Molton Monthly after Russian missile attacks on her home city of Zaporozhye in southern Ukraine killed dozens of people.

Olena and her 70 year old mother Tamara (pictured above), fled the war in June and after a perilous journey lasting six days, arrived with their host family, Tricia and Wayne Hyde in South Molton.

Russia ramped up its indiscriminate attacks by missile and drone in September and October, as Ukrainian forces made significant advances, regaining control of previously occupied areas of their country.

“Zaporozhye again. Merciless strikes on peaceful people. On residential buildings, in the middle of the night,” said Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

Olena’s brother and his family remain in the embattled city, while her son has been working as a volunteer in the occupied territory since the start of the war, providing food to the civilian population.

“Now life in Zaporozhye is very difficult, because 10 to 20 bombs arrive at night and during the day, life is stopped,” added Olena. “All relatives live in bomb shelters, where it is very cold and damp and there are power cuts. There is practically no food, and if there is, it is very expensive.”

With the help of her hosts Tricia and Wayne Hyde, who run South Molton Taxis, Olena has set up a hub at their home to help other Ukrainian refugees find homes and settle in.

She is giving advice and assistance to make it easier for other refugees from the war to complete the complicated paperwork, and find potential host families.

“I also ask the residents of South Molton and North Devon to join us and be active participants in our hub,” said Olena.

She says she hasn’t regretted coming to stay in South Molton and is grateful to her host family and the community for their support. “We are very happy here, and we are very grateful to our sponsors, for the house, and warmth, for their kind hearts, we are one big family, it’s nice here, I can’t imagine my life without them,” said Olena.

They are currently looking for two ladies’ bicycles so they can get out more to explore the local area. For other refugees they are also looking for kitchen tables, and clothing in extra large sizes for older men.

Her message to everyone is, please don’t forget the people of Ukraine. “I would very much like the people of the whole world to unite to stop this war. How can we help Ukraine now? Every pound that we donate is important for our country.”

South Molton sailor’s Royal ‘thank you’ for role at the Queen’s funeral

Royal Navy Logistics Officer William Adams was thanked by Princess Anne, for his role organising the team of 100 Naval Seamen tasked with pulling Queen Elizabeth’s coffin during her state funeral.

The Queen’s daughter visited Portsmouth Naval Base, where South Molton’s

Lieutenant Adams serves, on September 22nd. The Princess Royal spoke to the men and women about their role hauling the State Ceremonial Gun Carriage bearing the Queen’s coffin, to Westminster Abbey and later to Wellington Arch.

His parents Amanda and Geoff Adams said they are “extremely proud” of their son Will. They travelled up to watch the historic moment the funeral procession arrived at Windsor, as the Queen was taken home to her final resting place. “This will be one memory which we will hold very dear, and will remain with us for the rest of lives.”

“We are happy that Elizabeth is with her husband Philip, as it should be,” Amanda told Molton Monthly. “A ripple of applause cascaded along the mile of Windsor Great Park to the castle, marking the end of a wonderful life for our Queen of 70 years.”

Pool closed as finances go off the deep end

Urgent talks are underway to try to save South Molton’s popular swimming pool. It follows a decision by the charity, 1610 Leisure Trust, to close the sports facility from October 1st due to spiralling energy and running costs. Even with record numbers using the pool, management say it was forecast to lose around £30,000 this year alone.

Swimming Development Club Manager Sam Mason learned to swim in the pool as a child and trained to be a lifeguard there as a teenager. He said he was “heartbroken” by the news it was closing, “The pool is as much a part of me as it is a part of the town. I want to thank everyone who has supported me and my team as we tried to rebuild the pool over the last year.”

“Myself and my team have worked tirelessly to grow and maintain the pool, its services and Rainbow Swim Academy. In my short time at the helm we reached the highest number of swimmers in lessons that 1610 has ever had at South Molton, but now we are all out of work.”

A spokesman for 1610 said, “It has not been possible to make the pool a viable business in the current economic climate. We can no longer sustain the increasing costs and losses the pool is making.” South Molton Swimming Pool doesn’t receive financial support from local councils.

The closure came as Swim England warned the government that more swimming pools could be forced to shut if they don’t receive financial help to pay rising energy costs. They say that

Contact Molton Monthly: 07484 290500 email: info@moltonmonthly.co.uk26

energy prices at swimming pools have increased from £500m in 2019 to £1.2 billion in 2022, with prices forecast to rise by a further 185 per cent. Sam Mason added that if the pool ran at capacity, it needed 5,000 litres of water replaced every week - all of which had to be pumped, treated, tested and heated. Staffing is also said to have been a major problem in recent years.

It was opened following a public fundraising campaign, and the charity 1610 Leisure Trust took over from the original trustees in 2019, again because the pool was struggling financially.

The owners of Rock & Rapid Adventures and AST Swimschool have both expressed interest in running the pool for the community, and South Molton Town Council and North Devon Council have held talks with the charity 1610 Leisure Trust to explore ways of keeping it open.

Jobs to do in November

1. Rose black spot can overwinter on fallen leaves, so if the disease has been a problem on your roses this year, collect and destroy fallen leaves to help delay any re-infection next year.

2. Plant Tulip bulbs this month, they should be planted at three times their depth.

3. Root cuttings of herbaceous perennials can be taken now and throughout the winter. Papaver, Verbascum and Phlox can all be propagated this way.

4. Fruited canes of blackberries, Japanese wineberries, tayberries, and loganberries should be pruned to ground level.

5. Cleaning out bird boxes now will encourage birds to use them as winter roosts, and make it more likely they will nest there come spring.

Potting up bare-root plants is in full swing at the nursery this month. We will receive deliveries of herbaceous perennials, fruit bushes, fruit & ornamental trees, and roses which all need potting up asap, so they don’t dry out. Buying them bare-root creates more work for us, but makes the plants cheaper for you to buy.

Christmas trees and handmade holly wreaths will be available from the 24th November, and the nursery will be open every day from then until Christmas Eve. Until next month, Jenny Howells

November Opening Times: Thursday to Saturday 9am - 5pm

Farm Life - King Charles III by Roger Hill

So what a turn of events since I last wrote. We lost our dear Queen Elizabeth II. I’m so pleased she witnessed her Platinum Jubilee celebrations, with a little help from Paddington Bear. We have a new King. Long may he reign.

I had the privilege to meet and guide Charles on a tour when he was Prince of Wales. He has a rare sense of humour and a deep knowledge of farming and the countryside. He acknowledges that we need a mix of intensive but sustainable agriculture, with a particular emphasis on family farms and young people.

When he set up his organic farm he faced a lot of criticism and scepticism, as did we twentyfive years ago. The first year, I admit, was tough. With no artificial fertiliser our yields halved, and I doubted we would have enough feed for our animals. Clover then became established and ever since we have had an abundance.

Another passion of our new King is his love of traditional breeds (photo right). He is adamant that we must look after them, for we lose them at our peril. God Save The King!

Plans for pine martens to return to Exmoor

They roamed our countryside until 150 years ago, and now proposals are being discussed to reintroduce pine martens to Exmoor.

Part of the same family as stoats, polecats and otters, they were once Britain’s second most common carnivore, until a loss of habitat and persecution led to their drastic decline, and their extinction from the South West in the 1880s.

Alex Raeder, the National Trust South West Landscapes Partnerships manager, said, “The UK is one of the most nature depleted nations on the planet. Bringing back the pine marten to its old haunts in the ancient woodlands of Exmoor and Dartmoor would offer a sign of hope that we can reverse some of the biodiversity crisis we face.”

The Two Moors Pine Marten Project is leading discussions and surveys on Exmoor and Dartmoor, and if approved the first pine martens could be released into the Devon countryside in late autumn 2024. It follows the successful reintroduction of beavers in the county in recent years.

Pine martens (above) are seen as a vital missing part in thriving and fully functioning ecosystems, especially our woodlands.

Ed Parr Ferris, Conservation Manager at Devon Wildlife Trust, said, “As communities rightly seek to plant more woodlands to address the carbon and climate crisis, it is vital we also bring back the wildlife and wild processes that make those woodlands alive and functioning properly.”

Bird flu risk remains

An outbreak of bird flu between North Molton and South Molton has been ‘brought under control’, after birds affected at a commercial site were humanely culled. A wider surveillance zone (right) remains in place, with greater vigilance aimed at preventing further spread of the disease in North Devon.

However, following an increase nationally in the number of cases of avian influenza in wild birds and on commercial premises, the Chief Veterinary Officers from England, Scotland and Wales declared an Avian Influenza Prevention Zone (AIPZ) across the whole of Great Britain from October 17th.

This means it is a legal requirement for all bird keepers to follow strict biosecurity measures to help protect their flocks from the threat of avian flu.

Students paint village hall

New air ambulance landing site at South Molton school

A new floodlit landing site has been set up at South Molton Community College, to enable Devon Air Ambulance to land in the town during the hours of darkness. It will allow their clinical teams to reach patients more quickly and safely than if they had to land in a dark field.

Students from West Buckland School (above) took part in a “hugely successful” community volunteering project to paint the village hall on September 17th.

Young farmers 3k fundraising

Chulmleigh Young Farmers Club held a memorial tractor run (opposite) in memory of Mark Summers, along with their annual big breakfast in September, raising £3,361 for charities including the Brain Tumour Charity.

Scrambling school donation

Filleigh cricketers win all

North Devon Atlantic Classic Motorcycle Club donated £1,000 to South Molton United Primary School PTA. Club member Andrew Maddox (above) visited with his scramble bike to present the cheque.

The money will be used towards paying for a theatre group Christmas performance in the school for all the children to enjoy. The club raises money for charities from its motocross races held at North Molton and Berrynarbor every year.

Filleigh Cricket Club’s 1st XI (above) topped off their season winning both the North Devon League Cup, and the Devon League Division H West. They were the only club in the whole of the county to remain unbeaten. They took a five wicket win over Braunton in the cup final at Hatherleigh. Chairman Charlie Cullen said, “The club seems to be on an upward trajectory with a thriving junior section, league and cup success. We’re always keen to encourage new members.”
