Protect Quethiock Parish PROTECT QUETHIOCK PARISH A photograph of a similar wind turbine provided by the Renfrees’ agent THE BEACON PROJECT, DANNETT FARM Stephen and Gwen Renfree are proposing to erect a 266 ft (81 m) wind turbine (taller than Truro Cathedral) near Pounda (just over a half mile from Trehunist and within a mile of Quethiock) on the highest point of land right in the centre of Quethiock Parish! What this will mean to you: The Beacon Project will set a precedent for other wind turbines to be erected in our parish. You may feel that this turbine will not directly affect you if you would not see it from your property; however, the next one could be even closer to you! The cumulative impact of wind turbines in our countryside is already causing significant concern to many Cornwall residents. Approximately 84 properties, over 45% of our entire parish, will be within 1 mile of the proposed wind turbine. The UK Noise Association has determined that people who live within this distance can be adversely impacted by noise, with much of the noise impact occurring at night. The wind turbine will be 266 ft (81 m) high on ground that is 502 ft (153 m) high! This will visually dominate the landscape in our area and surrounding areas and will be seen for many miles, for example from Tregantle Fort on the Rame Peninsula. The Beacon wind turbine will damage our local environment. Wildlife near the wind turbine will suffer. The wind turbine will adversely affect the setting of local historical assets, such as scheduled monuments and listed buildings. Further, the construction will damage our narrow lanes. All Wind (uk) ltd, the agent for the Renfrees, has published a leaflet stating that the proposed wind turbine “will generate enough electricity to fulfill the estimated annual consumption of all the domestic households for the Parish of Quethiock, and some of the households in surrounding parishes.” In fact, this project will not provide electricity directly to our parish and we will not be getting free or cheaper electricity. Rather, the power generated will go directly to the National Grid, and we will all pay higher electricity bills. This is because the National Grid is required to pay higher than wholesale prices for this electricity, and further, the National Grid is required to pay wind turbine owners when the turbines are shut down because of high winds. The only people who will benefit financially are Stephen & Gwen Renfree and All Wind (uk) ltd. Under the Feed-in-Tariff scheme at current rates, the wind turbine will generate £323,400 of tax-free revenues per year. Revenue is paid for at least 20 years, and the revenue can be reasonably projected to pay for the development costs within the first four years. The Valuation Office Agency has recently admitted that wind farms can devalue homes, having been forced to re-band some homes near wind turbines into lower council tax categories. Two local homeowners within just over half a mile of the proposed Beacon wind turbine who currently have their house on the market have been informed by their estate agent that 40% will be wiped off the value of their property should this development go ahead. The Global Warming Policy Foundation has warned that wind energy is an extraordinarily expensive and inefficient way of reducing CO2 emissions. OVERALL THE CHARACTER, PEACEFULNESS AND TRANQUILITY OF OUR COMMUNITY, WHICH WE ALL ENJOY, WILL BE DESTROYED. What you can do to help stop this: Write a letter objecting, including the words “I object to”’ and mentioning the Beacon Wind Turbine Project, Dannett Farm, and encourage all members of your household to write individually, to the following ASAP: Cornwall Councilor Bernie Ellis, 2 Pensipple Cottage, St Keyne, Liskeard, Cornwall PL144SP Office of Sheryll Murray MP, Windsor Place, Liskeard, Cornwall PL144BH. Sign a petition to prevent proliferation of wind turbines in Cornwall: www.freepetition.co.uk/cornwall/ petition/protect-landscape-from-turbines. The Quethiock newsletter and local notice boards will have dates of meetings and exhibitions should you wish to attend.

  • September 2014
    September 2014 Dear Parent/Carer, Having now had two complete weeks of the school year, 2014-15, for all students at saltash.net, I am very pleased to be able to write to you and report that we have had an extremely positive start to the term. Not only have we welcomed all of our new Year 7 students to our school, we have also been pleased to receive 14 new students into Years 8, 9 and 10, as well as students from our own and other schools who have joined our excellent Sixth Form learning community, taking the total number of post 16 students to 214. If you are a new parent or carer to our school, then we say a special word of welcome to you. There will be many opportunities throughout the school year for you to get to know the staff and students at our school and we hope you will soon feel an established part of our whole school community. One of the first things I need to share with you in this newsletter is to do with school communication and the changes which have taken place to upgrade our ICT facilities. Our move to ‘Office 365’ and ‘The Cloud’ has meant a change to all staff email addresses. They now all follow the same pattern, which is a member of staff’s first name initial, followed by their surname and then @saltashcloud.net—so my address is [email protected] and my deputies are [email protected] (Mr Dan Buckley), [email protected] (Mrs Linda Griffin), and [email protected] (Mr Nick Scantlebury).

  • Magazine of St. Germans & Deviock Parish
    November 2018 Volume 33 (8) Magazine of St. Germans & Deviock Parish Councils We currently seek some voluntary help with editing and distribution of Nut Tree. Any willing volunteers, please email [email protected] for more info. As usual please send any copy to [email protected] or post to ‘Tremaye’ Downderry by the 17th of the preceding month. Any enquiries, email or ring 250629. Nature Among our birds there is a fascinating overlap between summer and winter visitors at this time of year. One day in mid October I saw a few Swallows flying over the village on their way to Africa. The following day I noticed a Black Redstart, a winter visitor to our coast. I now look forward to the possibility of a Blackcap or a tiny Firecrest in the garden or wintering thrushes in hedgerows. The Blackcaps that stay for winter are not the same birds that breed in our woodlands. The latter have moved south whereas the newcomers are a separate population that will have bred further east on the continent. A series of mild winters has enabled the Blackcaps to survive here instead of flying south and they have passed on the habit to later generations. They will stay until March when they begin to sing and become aggressive towards other birds at feeders. This takes me on to a sad situation that I noticed in September. Trichomonosis is a deadly disease that affects the digestive system of some birds and I saw the symptoms among Goldfinches. They become lethargic, cannot feed successfully and soon starve.

  • Interim Newsletter – May
    24th May 2016 Dear Parents/Carers, As we approach the half term break, I am pleased to be able to write to you to bring you up to date with all that has been happening at saltash.net since the start of the summer term. Exam season is, of course, well and truly upon us now, with years 10, 11 and 12 all taking some of their GCSE and A Level examinations before half term and Year 13 joining them from the start of June onwards. Although we hold ‘official last day’ events for both Years 11 and 13, all students sitting exams are still able to participate in and make the most of our extensive revision programme which will be running throughout the duration of the exams as well as over the half term holiday. We have all been so impressed with how our young people have approached their exams this summer, especially those students who have experienced major challenges and difficulties in their home or personal lives over the past year. We are full of admiration for them and also pleased that our school has such a strong pastoral support network in place to help guide and intervene when necessary. We wish all students sitting exams this year all the very best. As we regularly say to our students, academic success is very important but so too is how they are developing as well rounded individuals who appreciate and demonstrate the values at the heart of our school: Respect, Responsibility, Compassion, Honesty, Fairness and Perseverance. At the recent May Fair in Saltash, a number of members of our local community (including those who live close to our school) came up to tell me how impressed they were with the behaviour and conduct of our students – not just what they read about them in the local papers, but also when they see them around Saltash.

  • Laundry Life+Times Last.Pages
    The Life and Times of the Laundrys' * The Name Laundry has always seemed such a down to earth and functional name. I had thought that it denoted a family trade, much in the same way that Smith does, though there were family rumours that it was Spanish or French, and spoken with an accent it does sound a bit more romantic. Researching in the 'Partonymica Cornu-Britannica' of 1870 (the origin of Cornish names) it appears that someone has already given the name much thought. "Landrey, Landry. From Lan- dre, (Cornish) the church dwelling: lan-drea, the principal church; or Lan-dreath, -dreathe, the church on the sand or sandy shore. Hence perhaps Landary and Laundry." Another book on Cornish names has the name meaning 'Gods enclosure of oak trees'. A Canadian researcher, Marcel Landry (http://www.mwlandry.ca/angleterre.htm) has it that the name derives from old French 'Landri' through old German 'Landric(us)' meaning 'land ruler', the name brought over by a Breton Frenchman Stephan Landry who landed in Cornwall in 1561, he married locally and his descendants lived in the East Cornwall region though most seem to be called Landry. This version is supported by Ancestry.com who state that in middle English it was ‘Lavendrie’ from the old French Landri, from Germanic meaning ‘land’ and ‘power’. However there is nothing to say that it cannot be both that is an existing name from Cornish and derived from an imported French name. It has helped that Laundry is such an unusual name. During the mid 1800s most Laundrys, and there were only a hand full, lived in Cornwall with a few in Devon.

  • Quethiock SEN Information Report 2019
    Quethiock Primary School Part of the St Barnabas Multi Academy Trust SEN Information Report 2021 What/who is this for? This document outlines everything you need to know about supporting SEN pupils at Quethiock. It is useful for parents, pupils and people who would like to know what we do to create unique possibilites for ALL of our pupils, including those with SEN. This document supports our whole MAT policy for SEN. What is SEN? A Special Educational Need is when a pupil finds something harder than other children that are the same age or when a pupil has a disability that might make it hard to use the resources in the school. Difficulties could be: communication, learning, emotional or physical. This means that teachers have to think carefully about what each pupil needs to succeed and progress. Some answers to questions you might have: How do my teachers know that I need extra help? If we notice that you are finding something hard, or falling behind, we talk about ways to help you. We try to make sure that what you get in the classroom helps you first, before trying anything extra. If we put anything extra in place, we may place you on a ‘record of need’, this is just a way to keep an eye on how you are doing with this extra support. What can my parents do if they think have Special Educational Needs? Talk to your teacher, SENCO (Mrs Thomas) or Head of School (Mrs Kenton). Who is responsible for me being happy and succeeding at school? We are ALL responsible! Staff try hard to talk lots about good mental health.

  • The Lees of Quethiock Cornwall Their Family History from Ancient Times
    THE LEES OF QUETHIOCK CORNWALL THEIR FAMILY HISTORY FROM ANCIENT TIMES "Brave men have lived before Agamemnon, lots of them. But on all of them - eternal night lies heavy, for they left no records behind. (`ODES` Horace 65-8BC) This is the story of those who did This is the story of my ancestors, the Lee family, who have left records behind and from which the line can be traced from Alexander and Thomas born 1994 and 1990 respectively, back to John of Legh, alive in 1433, and Richard de Leye, alive in 1327. John and Richard lived at, and took their surname from Legh, a pre-Norman settlement in Cornwall recorded in the Domesday Book of 1086. Legh is situated in the present parish of Quethiock, some 5 miles west of the River Tamar and 5 miles east of Liskeard, just in the southeast corner of Cornwall. To uncover the history took ten and more years of research. So what stimulated me to commence? In 1986 I watched a television programme on early portraiture. It was explained that during the time of the Roman Empire (146BC-410AD) it was fashionable to have a statue carved of oneself together with ones father and grandfather. To illustrate this a statue from the 1st century AD was shown; I was astounded to note that it bore a likeness to my family and in particular to my brother, David Henry Lee. I immediately commented on this to my wife, Brenda, who replied `No, it is more like you`. From that moment the question lay in my mind `I look like a Roman from 2000 years ago; I have the surname of Lee which is derived from a Saxon-German word meaning pasture; my father`s family were known to have come from Cornwall and so presumably I have West Welsh Celtic blood; my mother claimed her family came from Devon and I was born in Devonport on the borders of Devon and Cornwall; so who am I? Cornwall over the millenniums had been invaded by 6 or so groups of different people; Ancient British (7000BC), Celts (700BC-63AD), Danes (800AD), Romans (63-401AD), Saxons (447-1066AD), Normans (1066).
