Higha Mpton Messenger Issue 5 October—November 2010 CHAIRMAN CHARLES CHATS... Horses have featured in Highampton in the last few weeks, back in August the Hatherleigh & Highampton Horse show at Warren Farm was a great success and for once the weather was fine for it. Later it was not such good news with the arrival of swamp fever at Hole Station, which is Highampton postal, but in the Black Torrington parish. This brought back to me all the horror of the foot and mouth crisis and I hope for all who have horses that it does not spread, you all have my prayers and best wishes. I have recently been to the annual general meeting of the Devon Association of Local Councils where the dominant theme was the financial situation. It is likely that the government will want parish councils to take on more responsibilities and the meeting thought that this would be impossible if funding did not accompany any extra duties. However, we must work hard to achieve the aims of our parish plan that resulted from our consulting you. If you have strong views on how the BIG SOCIETY will work here please let me know, our problem is that we are a small community. The new recycling system is due to start and I hope that you will all cooperate, it may seem a lot of nonsense but in the long run it will help to keep your council tax down. The fact is that land fill sites are being used up and rubbish not recycled will have to be taken further for dumping when the pit at Heathfield in Newton Abbot becomes full, this is already an expensive process, this is on top of any green advantages of recycling. Our food waste will be going to Holsworthy to produce electricity. The 100 Year Reunion for all associated with the Primary School is taking place on Saturday 9th October (see inside for further information) and I would like to thank all the organisers for their efforts and express my hope that the School will survive to serve the community for another hundred years. We are very lucky to have our School with such an excellent staff and governing body, we should all do everything we can to help them and support their work. If you know of any children moving in to the area be sure to promote our wonderful School. The Ruby Trail is open and I would like to recommend it to any walkers or cyclists you think would enjoy its peace. Charles Dumpleton (Parish Council Chairman) As always, thank you to everyone who contributed to this issue. If you would like to submit an item or an advert for publication in the next issue please email [email protected] Alternatively please hand in any Newsletter items to the Village Post Office. Deadline for submissions for next issue: Wednesday 24th November 2010 If you have missed any of the previous issues please visit www.hatherleigh.net/highnews.asp HIGHAMPTON MESSENGER HIGHAMPTON Page 2 NEIGHBOURHOOD WATCH There is not a great deal to report on for this Issue of the Messenger. I hope that some of you have enrolled in the Community Messaging Service as featured in the previous Issue. With the clocks going back in October there could be more scope for the criminal fraternity to go about their business. Everyone can play their part in keeping their eyes open for anything suspicious or out of the ordinary taking place. A recent programme on the television drew our attention to the number of thefts occurring of farm equipment and even animals. If everyone is especially observant during the hours of darkness particularly on Thursdays and Fridays for this is, according to the Police, a prime time for thefts to take place. The reasoning being that such stolen items are sold over the weekend. The Police, we are told, are experiencing cut backs to their operations, the full extent of which we have yet to be advised of. Our Neighbourhood Beat Manager is at present P.C David Hoar, his contact details are: Telephone - 08452 777444 or 01837 658426 Email – [email protected] If the situation is urgent dial 999 Mr M Puckey (Tel: 01409 231651) Devon & Cornwall Police NTL‘s Newsletter The police have tried in the past to identify ways to keep the public up to date with what has been happening and what they have been doing and in recent times this has been reflected through feedback to Parish Councils, Community Groups, Town Councils, Local Newspapers, Neighbourhood Website and the Police Newsletter. Unfortunately, as finances become tighter and support staff capacity becomes smaller we need to identify appropriate methods to update you. With regards to finances and structure there are no definite plans in place for how policing in Devon and Cornwall will be shaped in the coming years. The ‗Blueprint‘ project team has evaluated a number of different proposals and we are now awaiting the Government Spending Review in October. The updates to this will be passed by the Chief Constable in due course. We continue to work hard in our investigation of crime and now have access to dedicated Interview Teams at Exeter and Barnstaple to assist with Domestic Violence related crime. We hope that this will be expanded to all crime types freeing up more of our officers time so they can be out on patrol. Crime has reduced in West Devon by 13.1% (Apr-Aug) compared with the same period last year. Devon‘s overall reduction is 7.7%. Our detection rate is currently 22.4% compared to Devon‘s 28.7% and steadily rising. In addition to this we have a further 4% of our offences which have been dealt with by the restorative justice route. This is where an offender (under certain criteria) makes reparations with the victim that they both agree to. Anti-social Behaviour (ASB) has continued to be reduced throughout the year and we attribute this to both High Visibility and Covert Patrols in known Hot-Spots. Throughout some of the stops we have found that some individuals are in possession of Cannabis. Although Okehampton and the surrounding towns and villages do not have a serious drug problem I would ask all parents ―Do you know where your children are, who they are with and what they are doing?‖ To support this work our Youth Intervention Officer (YIO) PC Fry attended ‗Room 13‘ and had a question and answer session with local youths. In the past two months two of our local youths have been charged with a string of offences relating to Criminal Damage, Violence and Public Order. One is currently in prison and the other has now moved to Exeter. However, this type of behaviour will not be tolerated and we have laid information to the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) in order to have Criminal Anti-social Behaviour Orders (CrASBO) for both of these males. [email protected] PS 1637 Lee Nattrass Page 3 HIGHAMPTON PRIMARY SCHOOL A BUSY START TO THE NEW SCHOOL YEAR We would like to welcome William Bridges who joins us in Reception this year. Churchyard sketches The children at Highampton Community Primary School spent a sunny afternoon in the Holy Cross churchyard sketching the plentiful and varied autumn berries and nuts. This follows on from their summer visit and sketches of the flowers last term. Rag – Rugging All the children had an opportunity to try their hand at the traditional skill of rag rug making from an expert who visited the school recently. They learned a bit about the history of the craft, and then everyone produced their own flower pictures using the rags and prodders provided. Some of the children have become so enthused by the day that they are now busy making rag rugs at home! Life Skills on Dartmoor The children in Year 6 spent an exciting afternoon on Dartmoor at the Junior Life Skills event organised by West Devon Borough Council. They learned how to deal with life threatening situations, what to do in an emergency, and how to keep themselves safe on the moor and on the beach. Macmillan Coffee Morning The school would like to say a big thank you to everyone in the community who helped to make the Macmillan Coffee Morning a resounding success. Over £150 was raised for the charity through the raffle, cake stall and donations for coffee and biscuits. The children were particularly delighted to welcome visitors from Burdon Grange to the school. Treasure your School With the forthcoming village school reunion, it is sad to report that over the weekend of the 25/26 September the school’s PE sheds were vandalised and litter, including smoking materials, was left in the grounds and the recently built shelter. Mrs Sandra Barnett, Headteacher, said: ‘The school grounds, particularly the playing field, are used from time to time by youngsters in the village for enjoying sport. It is a shame that the thoughtlessness of a few people should jeopardise those who respect and enjoy the school and its facilities.’ OAKWOOD KENNELS AND CATTERY LOCAL LAMB Individual care and attention for your pet Purebred Devon Closewool lamb, great flavour, from our small traditionally managed Highampton farm Proprietor Paul Collins lamb boxes half lamb cut to your requirements, ready to eat/freeze New Farm Highampton EX21 5LU 8-10 kgs £55-65 Free Delivery Tel: 01409 231320 Beef from our pedigree Aberdeen Angus herd also sometimes avail- Email:[email protected] able Sally Vergette 01837 810349 [email protected] www.oakwoodkennels.net Coombe Farm Highampton Page 4 HIGHAMPTON MESSENGER MOBILE LIBRARY 2010 DATES, TIMES AND PLACES: 8 October, 22 October, 5 November, 19 November Gents Barbers and Ladies Hairdressing 13.10 to 13.30 at the Village Hall No Appointments (Except for colours & perms) 14.30 to 14.50 at the village end of Telephone 01837 53653 Church Road 14 Fore Street Okehampton Highampton WI Meetings are held at 7.30pm in the Committee Room at the Village Hall on the second Wednesday of each month.

The primary focus of this thesis is the large number of unaccompanied children who were officially evacuated to the County under the auspices of the Government Evacuation Scheme during the Second World War. However, Chapter Six discusses the evacuation of mothers and accompanying children, unofficial (private) evacuees and private school parties. The majority of evacuated children arriving in Devon originated from the London area and southeastern counties. In addition large numbers of children were also evacuated to the County from Bristol and within the County from Plymouth (Devon) during 1941 and briefly from Exeter in May 1942. Each of the three national evacuation waves is considered individually throughout the text as they are quite distinct in complexion, a fact frequently ignored in generalised accounts which tend to focus on reaction to the initial wave.
