Harvest Mice OCTOBER 2015 EDITORIAL Last week I took a walk around Crowdy Reservoir with my daughter. We saw a white goose swimming along, quite happily, with a flock of Canada Geese. My daughter took a photo and passed it on to an ornithologist as we thought we had made the find of the century. Here’s what he said.

“Sorry to disappoint you but it looks like a feral white goose, you see all sorts of strange looking geese mixed in with other geese sometimes, so not a full and proper species. You can sometimes see interesting wild geese amongst these kind of flocks though as like you say they often latch on to flocks as they are highly sociable species“. Is there a lesson somewhere in there for us??

Page No. 4 Monthly notes from Scott Mann Since returning to Parliament after the summer recess I have written to David Cameron and Greg Clarke, the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government, asking them to help save public toilets by exempting them from business rates, as well as asking them to consider making public toilets a statutory public service provided by . These are essential amenities for local people and visitors who should be able to expect access to a public toilet in the local area, whether it be a town centre or a beach. The Prime Minister is a frequent visitor to Cornwall and I hope my Cornish colleagues and I have emphasised the problem enough for action to be taken. The first week back saw the second reading of the Assisted Dying Bill. I received a huge number of correspondence on this and after much careful thought, I decided to support the Bill. I believe people who have a terminal illness and are given 6 months to live should have the choice to die in comfort because they fear they will become incapacitated and subsequently endure a painful death. Ultimately the Bill was rejected by the Commons, but the mere presence of a debate on the subject may give the overall argument further momentum. I also attended a broadband debate where I made the point to fellow MPs and Ed Vaizey, Minister for Culture and the Digital Economy, that many businesses are relocating to, or starting up in, rural areas and require faster connectivity. Further to this, I met with mobile phone provider '3' to discuss how they are increasing their mobile internet coverage across North Cornwall. Historically, signal was difficult to obtain along the coast and indoors in rural areas. Now though, the building of more masts and better technology is allowing them to reach these areas and penetrate buildings with low-frequency waves. This means that rural businesses and homes can consider getting a USB 'dongle' or 'MiFi' unit to provide them with mobile internet if they cannot obtain reliable landline internet. Nevertheless, Cornwall is at the forefront of internet broadband with the next wave of investment looking to get 95% of people in the county connected to superfast broadband. BT and Superfast Cornwall are working hard to connect communities and rural areas, and compared to other parts of the UK, Cornwall is very fortunate. Back in the constituency I recently visited a beef farm to watch a TB test being carried out. These are nerve racking experiences for farmers who can face painful and emotional consequences upon a bad result. Many cows are being killed because they have TB, and this disease needs to be tackled head on. Farmers want a heathy badger population, and the current situation does nothing for the badgers, the cows or the farming community.

At the end of the day, which saw field events take place in the morning and races in the afternoon, Poldeme emerged as winners. The sports, which produced fun and friendly rivalry, ended in traditional manner, with the relay races.

Page No. 19 Music at St Endellion This year the North Cornwall Book Festival is being held at St Endellion from 23 to 25 October. As part of the festival we have two very exciting concerts.

Tom Hickox in Concert Friday 23 October, 8.00pm, St Endellion Church Fresh from recording his second album after triumphant appearances on Jools Holland, at Glastonbury and elsewhere, cult singer- songwriter Tom Hickox gives a first gig in the glorious church where he is perhaps better known as chairman of the Summer Music Festival. Though often compared to Tom Waits, Leonard Cohen and Scott Walker, his magnificently moody style is all his own and his lyrics, ranging from heart-on-sleeve sincere to tongue-in-cheek ironic, would merit him a place in the book festival programme as a poet. The Daily Telegraph has already been won over by “the depth and intensity” of his voice and music calling him “a true original”. Come along and decide for yourself!

Wild Willy Barrett’s French Connection Saturday 24 October 7.30, St Endellion Church A ‘folk band’ with a difference! Led by the talented multi-instrumentalist, Wild Willy Barrett, whose musical style has taken in folk, blues, psychedelia, pop and punk rock. With him are cellist Mary Holland, Irish pipes and whistle player John Devine, and charismatic French singer Aurora Colson who effortlessly tackles styles from Bluegrass to acoustic blues, haunting Irish melodies and a touch of Piaf. So…expect innovative arrangements beautifully performed on instruments including the guitar, cello, fiddle, banjo and uilleann pipes, all spiced with wry humour.

Tickets for both these concerts are £10 (free to accompanied under-16s), available from the Endelienta Box Office: telephone 07787 944935 or online at www.endelienta.org.uk Or you can call in at the Wadebridge Bookshop, 43 Molesworth Street, Wadebridge.

Page No. 22 We know it’s only just Autumn but we are already thinking about Christmas here at the Foodbank. It can be a particularly difficult time for people in crisis. Our Tesco Christmas Food Collection will be taking place on the 4 and 5 December at the Wadebridge and Padstow stores, all donations will be gratefully received. Since we opened our doors in 2009 we have fed 12,629 local people in crisis. As well as foodboxes we also offer a hot drink, a listening ear and additional support where needed to help break the cycle of poverty. Thank you to The Chough Bakery for their very kind and generous donation of pasties, they will be a welcome addition to the food boxes especially during the chilly weather. We would like to thank our local Churches and Schools for the food being donated from the Harvest Festivals. All your kind donations help to replenish our store cupboard. If you would like to donate to this year’s Operation Christmas Child Shoebox Appeal, please drop off your gift-filled shoebox plus the £3 donation to cover shipping costs at the StoreHouse Shop before the 23rd•November.

Latest Stats: Did you know that the main reason why people use our Foodbanks in Bodmin, Camelford & Wadebridge is currently due to low income. During this financial year from April – Sept 2015, our stats show that 30% of people were referred to our foodbanks by a professional service because they were struggling to afford food whilst employed on a low income. Thanks to your donations, our Foodbanks provide an average of 1,169 nutritionally balanced meals to people in crisis every week. We really appreciate your continued support, this month we are in need of cereal, tinned veg, tinned potatoes and instant mash.

Stories from Cedarcroft Plants……… Hello russet leaves, reds, oranges, and the fires of autumn colours. Although we had some warmer days over September, the autumn is now definitely here for real, and it feels colder. It's a beautiful time of year, with the trees changing colour. Sometimes it may seem pointless raking, when the wind blows even more leaves onto the lawn, but just think of all the lovely leaf mould you can make! At Cedarcroft we have winter veg seedlings for growing in the greenhouse (see below) or under cloches and the bare root fruit will be here at the end of the month plus all the usual lovely autumn bedding….

Page No. 25 “Harbour Happenings” Last week a young woman told me about a recurring dream she had been bothered by for as long as she could remember. She was on a rubbish dump facing a mountain of rubbish and knew that to get out she had to climb over the mountain but try as she might she always failed. She recently started attending Souls Harbour and soon made a decision to follow Jesus and asked him to forgive her sin and come into her life. That night she had the same dream but this time it ended differently. As she tried to climb the mountain of rubbish people appeared at the top and helped her to get over it. On the other side was a house filled with light. She walked through the house and there, kneeling down with arms outstretched was Jesus. As he embraced her, wonderful peace and joy flooded her heart. She hasn't had the recurring dream since. A young man phoned me a couple of weeks ago in quite a state. He was at work and had lost a very valuable piece of equipment in a field. He had searched and retraced his steps for an hour and couldn't find it. He asked me to pray with him on the phone. So we simply asked the Holy Spirit (our Helper) to guide him to where the instrument was. Five minutes later the phone rang again. "I've got it!" He said jubilantly, "As soon as we had prayed I felt compelled to go to a part of the field where I didn't think I had been and there it was in the grass. I went straight to it!" One of our other men had a heart attack and died. The paramedics had just arrived at the scene and 'shocked' him back to life. His heart stopped 11 more times on the way to Derriford and each time they restarted it. The hospital said his was the worst case of heart failure they had ever seen. He says that rather that being afraid he was filled with the most amazing peace and knew Jesus was there with him. There's never a dull moment when you are truly following Jesus. Our Harvest Festival with Country Music styled worship is on Sunday 4th October at 10.45am why not join us - I think you will enjoy it. Souls Harbour Church is located by Clease Car Park in Camelford (PL32 9QX) and everyone is welcome.

On Wednesday 16 September the hall at Otterham & St Juliot was host to a WI 100th birthday party as members from Boscastle, Camelford and Tintagel as well as Marshgate were joined by past members for a tea party. There was a display of craft work and archives from Boscastle, Camelford and Marshgate, much chat and laughter and good food. The cake was made by Wendy Trevennor, President of Marshgate WI.

There is much anticipation for the return on November 12th of the Two Cooks, Rosemary and Alison, with their inspiring mix of cooking and laughter. A brain teasing quiz on November 7th looks like a fun evening.

Page No. 29 AN INSPIRING WOMAN Lynda Brain, of Tregoodwell and a member of Camelford W.I. proudly brought along her Certificate of Achievement to our monthly meeting. She had been given the Adult Learner Award at a presentation by Cornwall Council in Truro earlier in the Summer. Lynda had been nominated by Alison Chatterjea who is her instructor at the Aqua Rehabilitaion class at Camelford Leisure Centre. She felt Lynda was a perfect nominee for an Adult Learner Award 2015. This category called for “Learners who have overcome difficulties or barriers to achieve”. A brain haemorrhage had caused many difficulties in Lynda’s life. Her balance and walking were poor. She started the Aqua Rehabilitation class by using the hoist to be lifted in and out of the pool. With determination and hard work she was soon able to enter the pool independently. Her movement quality has improved so much that she has been able to travel independently by train to see her grandchildren. She had the confidence and fitness to complete a three mile walk near Siblyback Lake and plays the tenor recorder in the SAS Orchestra. Lynda is an active member of Camelford W.I. and we are all very proud of her. An inspiring W.I. lady.

Page No. 38 GOOD NEWS IS WORTH SHARING

Kernow Credit Union, on hearing of the proposed closure in November of Camelfords remaining bank,, is seeking to fill the gap by offering alternative financial services to the residents and businesses of Camelford and surrounding areas.

Kernow Credit Union is a not-for- profit organisation which is run by its members for the benefit of its members. Registered in 2004 Kernow Credit Union is Authorised by the Prudential Regulation Authority and Regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority and the Prudential Regulation Authority and is a member of the Financial Service Compensation Scheme. At present we have 20 Service Points throughout the county with more to be added.

So how can Kernow Credit Union help CAMELFORD? What is needed?

Firstly a Service Point. A confidential office space which is easily accessible by all is required. All of our Service Points operate in premises on good will as the credit union gives a service to Cornish communities. A credit union does not have shareholders JUST members. Do you know of or have such a space? If so please get in touch.

We also need volunteers to run the point. Volunteers are the backbone of the credit union. Experience is not an issue as full training will be given. Can you give a little time to your town to help alleviate your banking problem? Can you help by giving us the value of some of your time? Without volunteers the service point will not happen. During the next few weeks and months Kernow Credit union will be arranging talks and presentations to YOU the people of Camelford so that you are well informed about how we operate and about our services. However , the sooner we have the premises and the volunteers in place the sooner we can open.

If you can help in any way please contact: Development Officer Elaine Coleman 01326 373313 Email:[email protected] Kernow Credit Union Web site: kernowcreditunion.co.uk Email:[email protected] Telephone 01209 314449 Main Office: Kernow Credit Union Ltd. The Chambers, Penryn Street, .TR15 2SP

Page No. 39 Checking a wooden 1960s children’s puzzle to make sure it was “all there” I rediscovered what fun doing a puzzle can be, turning the pieces this way and that till you find the bit of the picture it fits into, the gloom as you convince yourself that half the pieces must be missing, the delight as you realise that if you just move the completed bottom half up it matches the partly completed top half perfectly and the satisfaction as the last piece drops into its place - Bliss! The puzzle I was checking illustrated an old nursery rhyme and on the bottom quarter of the picture the last verse of the rhyme was printed. As the pieces slotted together words and sentences emerged - ‘how brilliant’ I thought ‘what a fantastic thing to teach children to read’! Then I took a step back and reconsidered. The picture shows a small boy - dressed in a green hat and knickerbockers, yellow shirt, red waistcoat and yellow and red stripy socks. He was evidently interrogating a rather large snooty looking goose as to where it had been wandering, to which had come the reply - in large easy to read letters at the bottom - “there I met an old man who wouldn’t say his prayers - I took him by the left leg and threw him down the stairs”! Now, call me too health and safety conscious, but small children and geese are not always a good combination, not to mention the unsuitability of the child’s clothes for ‘bimbling’ around a farmyard talking to geese (on the upside they were at least high viz). Then there is the rhyme. Firstly, should a goose be intelligent enough to ascertain if aforementioned old man “wouldn’t say his prayers”. Is it any of the goose’s business anyway? Secondly, “throwing an old man (or for that matter, woman) down the stairs for any reason is totally uncalled for and quite illegal. And thirdly, the goose would have had quite a job getting up the stairs and grabbing the old man’s leg in order to throw him down. A lot of much loved traditional nursery rhymes stem from long lost political or social upheavals. Ring-a-ring a roses is widely believed to be a song about the black death, so maybe the ‘old man’ had fallen foul (if you’ll forgive the pun) of those for whom not saying your prayers, or saying the wrong prayers, was a crime against whichever religion was ‘on top’ at the time. Or it could just be that the words ‘prayers and stairs’ rhyme and in those P C free times the prospect of a goose throwing an old OAP downstairs was considered rather an amusing event - who knows. Either way should we pollute young and innocent minds with the idea that throwing old people downstairs is in any way acceptable? Probably not, but doing a puzzle is one of the most entertaining and educational things you can encourage your children to do. Old wooden puzzles are much more fun, animals dressed up having picnics or watching a marching band, scenes from the beach or circus, though not always complete or completely P C, can provide a welcome relief from the muffled gunfire and bleeping coming from numerous electronic computer games, and there are no batteries required. All this from doing an old wooden puzzle - I must get out more! It’s possible to buy newly handcrafted puzzles for all age groups, including adults, from Active Education (www.actived.co.uk) who are based in Okehampton.
