The Eagle Note from the Editors Well, 2017’s Summer was brief wasn’t it!! The weather we’ve been experiencing over the last couple of weeks has been awful – the strong winds have caused havoc on the village roads with the debris from the recently cut hedges littering the roads and, of course, our poor Spring flowers have been violently blown about. April sees Easter, a time for reflection – and with it comes two bank holidays. This in turn means changes to the rubbish and recycling collections for the month. Take a look on page 15 for the dates of collection – but basically, collections will be one day later than usual. The 1st of May is a bank holiday as well, so the same applies. While we’re on the subject of rubbish collections, the District Council are looking at changing what is collected when and they want your feedback – see page 8 for details of the consultation.
We’d like to say “Hi” to our new neighbours who have recently moved into Hillside – we hope you’ll be very happy here in Yarnscombe.
Last chance Once again, thank you to those of you who have let us have your donations towards the production of The Eagle for this year. A lot of you have been very generous again – thank you. If you haven’t passed your donation envelope to either Pat (at The Briars) or Sharron (at Heather Bank), this is your last chance to receive The Eagle. If you’ve mislaid your “little brown envelope” for your donation, please let us know and we can let you have another one. Don’t forget the deadline for submission of any articles for The Eagle is the 20th of each month. Until next time ……………………………. !!

From your District Councillor A really busy time at Torridge Council for me this month which has included having responsibility for clearing a dead whale from Hartland Quay. The team at TDC spent days working with various agency bodies before getting it removed on day 8. It was my pleasure to meet with Yarnscombe Parish Council to explain about the new arrangement for waste and recycling. We have now met with 12 parish councils regarding the changes and have another 10 to go. Many of you joined me at a wonderful charity evening at Yarnscombe which has now raised over £19,000 for a great cause. My personal thanks to all who helped in any way. It just shows how fantastic Yarnscombe folk really are. Until next month. As per always if I can help just give me a call on 07814 010 133 or councillor.morrish@torridge.gov.uk or marketing@kivells.com

Note from the Parish Council You may have read the information provided on the Yarnscombe website and/or Facebook page regarding the upcoming changes for waste and recycling in Torridge area. At our last meeting, Richard Haste(TDC) explained changes, due to be put into practice by June 2018, in more detail. The main points are: • Weekly Recycling including paper/cardboard and wider range of plastics (no black plastic) • Weekly food waste collection (bigger container provided for food waste) • Fortnightly collection of black bags (currently 23% of contents is food waste) • Fortnightly collection of garden waste at an annual cost of £35 On request by councillors, he will investigate the possibility of a community compost site. Please let us know, if that would be something parishioners are interested in. Should you receive this “Eagle” edition before the 31st March 2017, you can visit www.torridge.gov.uk , click on “consultations” and leave your relevant comments. We have now purchased some metal goal posts, weather permitting they should be installed very shortly. At our March meeting, we will make a decision regarding the purchase of picnic tables for the playing field and we have also submitted a new application for a grant from “Grantscape”.

A Farmer’s Diary The website www.farm-direct.co.uk has been used for these details and it says it’s based on the North of England, so we’re not sure how different our diaries are, but it’s an idea how busy our local farmers are likely to be during April. • • • • • • • • •

A Gardner’s Diary April - Sunshine and showers Spring is finally in evidence as daffodils and flowering trees start to bloom. Expect the inevitable April showers this month but with sunny days too, when you can turn your attention to the lawn. It's an exciting month, with indoor-sown seeds well into growth, and it's also time to start sowing outdoors. Just watch out for frosts... (article used from the RHS website: www.rhs.org.uk ) o o o o

Village Weekend
Wednesday 29th March at the Social Club, Victory Hall, Yarnscombe at 7:30pm Are you able to help with the organising of the village weekend event? Do you have a stall that you can run? Please come along to join the organising group to make this “weekend” a weekend to remember.
Friday 7th, Saturday 8th and Sunday 9th July 2017
Letter from the Vicar Easter Greetings!! Yeah!! It’s Easter soon. We understand that Christmas is about the birth of Jesus. Easter seems infinitely harder to grasp and so we try to explain it away with chocolate eggs and fluffy chicks, while the reality is infinitely more exciting. Jesus came to show us what life with God could really be like – the Kingdom of Heaven becomes visible through his miracles, his teaching, compassion and love. And by his cruel death on a cross, he took the punishment for a selfish and guilty world – all so that we could get to be friends with God again, without all the rubbish and shame of our lives getting in the way. And now here’s the ultimate miracle – Jesus didn’t stay dead, but rose to life – and through that resurrection reconnects us to God. This is the reason for the chocolate and the chicks – to celebrate new life, the opportunity to know forgiveness and start a new life with God. So please join us – if you want a second or third or twenty third chance to start again – let this Easter be the time when you get yourself back to God – He can’t wait to welcome you home. Yours in Christ Rev’d Paul Bysouth April 2017

Youth Group It is great to see a steady number of children regularly attending the Youth Group sessions; however, it would be lovely to see some more parents getting actively involved on a more regular basis as for the group to meet there must be at least 3 adults present at all times. Can we please take this opportunity to remind all parents not to drop off their children until they have verified that we have enough adults on the premises – it might be that on occasion you are asked to stay to help. *Due to a prior booking the hall will not be available to the Youth Group on Friday 31st March*
The next session will be after the Easter Holidays on Friday 29th April.
As there is such a large break between sessions it has been decided to hold an Easter Egg Hunt on Friday 14th April (Good Friday) at 10.30am. This will take place at ‘Gwerilyn’, Heards Lane, Yarnscombe (Sharon’s house); please do contact Sharon if you need directions. The plan is for all adults and children (all children must be accompanied) to enjoy Hot Cross Buns before the children hunt the eggs. Please do let us know if you are able to come either via the YG’s Facebook page, email or phone – we would hate not to have enough supplies in! If you have any suggestions for future Youth Group meetings please do not hesitate to contact Sharon: sedixon99@gmail.com, 01769 560406

Nature Notes As I write, it is cold and wet but, only a few days ago, it was sunny and warm and the larks were singing. I counted three of them in the nearby fields, staking out their territories and showing off to any interested females. It has been known for individuals to sing for anything up to twenty minutes at a time. This shows how fit they are but also exposes them to any passing predators. Up until the 1970s, skylarks were present in huge numbers, so much so that, on some farms, they were considered a pest, eating large numbers of seedling crop plants. Since then, owing to changes in farming practices, their numbers have dropped by about 70%, so we are lucky to have them here. When they were plentiful, many were captured and caged, as song birds, or sometimes used as ingredients for lark pie (I have the recipe - untried, I hasten to add!) They have been the subject of much, weird, country folk-lore among which was the belief that larks and toads exchanged eyes..... Which leads me on to toads. I have seen a number of these lately; unfortunately usually their remains, lying squashed on the road. At this time of year, their urge to mate is very strong and they make their way, no matter what obstacles are in the way, to their favourite pond to spawn. In some parts of the country, they migrate in such vast numbers that concerned nature lovers have made great efforts to help them across busy roads. Once they reach their breeding place, the males grasp hold of the nearest female extremely tightly. Frequently, one female is embraced by many males and may sometimes end up being drowned, by the mass of bodies. The eggs are laid in long strings which become entangled in pond weed. The toad is generally much larger than the frog and is usually buff-coloured, although other colours have been seen. He/she is warty and the skin exudes a venom which puts off many potential predators but not, apparently, hedgehogs or some birds of prey. Toads have a prodigious appetite and will eat anything that moves, including slugs. In winter, they find a favoured hiding place, away from frost and snow, maybe in a corner of your garage or garden shed. They are tameable and can attain a great age and size - a nice pet, perhaps?

Waste & Recycling Collections Torridge is changing the way they collect waste and recycling to: • •
Reduce waste and increase recycling Meet the statutory target of recycling 50% of all waste by
2020 • •
Increase the range of items collected for recycling Manage the cost pressures facing the service resulting from the reduced government funding, increasing numbers of housing being built, the need to modernise the fleet of vehicles, and the need to provide a new modern depot. A number of other Councils are looking to move to 3 weekly/monthly collections and Torridge is the only Devon District Council which still collects waste for landfill on a weekly basis. Research and evidence suggests this has a restraining effect on the level of recycling. The planned changes to a fortnightly black bag collection, while at the same time vastly extending the range of plastics collected, and enhancing food waste and garden waste collections, are expected to have a positive effect on recycling rates, reducing the amount of waste that ends up in environmentally damaging landfill. These changes are meant to be put into action by June 2018. You can find more info on TDC website www.torridge.gov.uk , and clicking on the “Consultations” tab (http://www.torridge.gov.uk/article/16470/Changes-to-Torridges-Waste--Recycling-Collections Comments have to be received by 31/03/2017

North Devon Hospice
SIGN UP TO NIGHTWALK, SUPPORT THE WORK OF HOSPICE NIGHT NURSES BRIGHTER THAN EVER!
Women across North Devon can now sign up to Nightwalk 2017, after registrations opened this month. The ladies-only moonlit walk takes place on Saturday 20th May and is celebrating its 10th anniversary. Those taking part will be helping to raise £100,000 for North Devon Hospice nurses who provide care during the night. Nightwalk has become the single largest charity event in North Devon, after bursting onto the scene 10 years ago. The 2017 edition is set to be the biggest and best yet, with new routes, more entertainment and plenty of surprises in store. Ali Hunt, head of fundraising at the hospice, hopes that local women will rally to the cause. “North Devon Hospice is providing more care during the night than ever before. Both on our Bedded Unit and in people’s own homes, the need for round-the-clock nursing is growing. We need the ladies of North Devon to step up to the challenge and step out for Nightwalk 2017. Help our nurses be the light in the dark for hundreds of local families.” Ali added that Nightwalk 2017 will be a festival of colour and lights. “This will truly be an experience not to be missed. The sight of 1,000 women walking together, all dressed in neon and flashing lights, is spectacular. We’ve also added lots more features to the night including a prosecco bar, fire performers, live music, light shows and Nightwalk t-shirts available to all walkers. We have set a target of raising £100,000, which would help fund our team of nurses who care for patients during the night, both at home and on our Bedded Unit. So please sign up now and help make a difference to local people who need their local hospice.” Starting points are at Barnstaple, Instow, Bideford, Torrington and Tamar Lakes (near Holsworthy), and route lengths range from 3 to 11 miles. So there really is a Nightwalk for everyone. Buses will be on hand to take Nightwalkers back to their starting point. This is a perfect chance to support a worthy charity and have a great night out with the girls. So join hundreds of other local women who will be walking for the same cause and show everyone how much you support the work of North Devon Hospice. Visit www.nightwalk.co.uk to sign up today. Register before 1st April and take advantage of the special early bird discount. You will also be entered into a draw to win a Champagne High Tea for four at the award-winning Kentisbury Grange.

2017 Ferret Races This year, the South West Truckers are running their now legendry annual ferret races in aid of Everything Ellie. “Everything Ellie, the charity was originally set up in memory of Ellie Easton, who died in March 2015 from secondary Leukaemia Relapse aged 16, following a 2 year battle with Teenage Ovarian Cancer. Ellie enjoyed the simple things in life: lots of fun family times on the beach; body boarding with her friends; horse riding; swimming; walking her dogs and watching them in the sea whatever the weather. She went on to have a great passion for Dog Agility at which she excelled and continued to do when she was fit enough during her treatment. In October 2013, after finishing treatment for the first diagnosis, 5 families booked a celebratory 2 week holiday to Spain for the following year; Ellie should have been well on the road to recovery and back to full health. Sadly a few days before Christmas that same year, Ellie was taken into hospital with an infection and given the news that she had developed secondary leukaemia. With a 2½ year treatment plan ahead any holiday abroad would be out of the question and it had to been cancelled. Facing terminal illness, Ellie remained very graceful and grown up, her goal was to have a landmark in her name and “The Beach Hut” seemed the obvious choice. Her friends and family had a “let’s do it” moment – between them they decided to do a couple of cake sales and BBQs between them each year to keep up the rental and the fundraising began a long term Beach Hut rental at Saunton Sands beach, nothing glamorous, just a beautifully pained shed in one of Ellie’s favourite places, most importantly on a beach that allowed dogs all year round! The hut is now fully equipped and used regularly by families of sick children wanting an “away from it all” day out. The hut is ready equipped with windbreaks, deck chairs, picnic table, BBQ, buckets, spades, ball games, blankets, body boards so all they need is a packed lunch and drinks to enjoy the day. It was Ellie’s wish that this beach hut be enjoyed by people in similar situations, Ellie wanted people to enjoy and create memories that will last a lifetime – bringing a bit of sunshine to an otherwise gloomy time, the beach hut is “Everything Ellie”, natural and beautiful. “Everything Ellie” hopes to make every day a “blue sky day” by providing a simple day at the seaside, a break away from the hospital rooms for young people or parents/guardians with young families undergoing treatment for long term, life threatening or terminal illnesses such as cancers and leukaemias. The long term aim is to have their own Woodland holiday lodge/chalet in North Devon where families can stay for longer and spend precious quality time together, having use of the beach hut which will always be at the very heart of the charity”.
