inside this month

THE UNDOUBTED highlight of thismonth’s issue are the lovely photosof the children who started school forthe first time this September. They alllook happy, enthusiastic and eager tolearn as they embark on their educa-tion journey, and very smart in theiruniforms, too. Turn to First Class onpages 26-29 to see the pictures, andthank you to the primary schools forsupplying the photos.

It is hard to be quite so optimisticabout the prospects for our town atthe moment. The announcementthat the paper mill is to close is grimnews indeed. A hundred jobs willbe lost and the knock-on impact onthe town’s economy is bound to besignificant.

For those set to lose their jobs, thismust be an incredibly worryingtime. Help from various agencies isbeing put in place (see page 13),nonetheless, the uncertainty mustbe putting a strain on those affected.

Other towns have prospered aftersuch a blow, we must hope that Ivy-bridge does, too.

INSIDE THIS MONTHThe inaugural Ivybridge Arts Festi-val takes place this month. The Ivy-bridge magazine is proud tosponsor this week-long celebrationof art in the town, which has as itstheme ‘A celebration of the RiverErme: source to sea’. This is a realcommunity-led initiative and or-ganisers have arranged more than40 events throughout the week – seethe pull-out programme in the cen-tre for a full list of festival events.

Other great community initiativesstart this month, too. The IvybridgeCommunity Market starts on Satur-day, 6 October, in Glanvilles Mill(see page 17) and will be held on thefirst three Saturdays of the month,and a Community HUB opens thismonth as well. This is a space, againin Glanvilles Mill, for communitygroups to promote, recruit andfundraise (page 9).

As well as the arts festival, Octo-ber is a very busy month for eventsin the town – see page 17 and theWhat’s On calendar on page 18.

And, of course, there is the usualcommunity news, Wild About Ivy-bridge, Take Better Photos andPets’ Corner columns, clubs &group news, and school reports youhave come to expect.

I hope you enjoy reading thisissue.

MP takes over at topof Town Team

Flower powerhelps hospiceA HUGELY POPULAR three-day flowerfestival at St Austin’s Priory, Cadleigh,on 14-16 September was a fitting con-clusion to a series of celebrationsmarking the centenary of the Ivy-bridge church.

As a result of the weekend exhibition,and a wonderful Friday evening of songand poetry featuring three close har-mony singing groups, £1,000 was pre-sented to the Ivybridge friends groupfor Children’s Hospice South West.

Magnificent flower displays from nofewer than 16 organisations filled thechurch with summer colours andscents, creating an emotional experi-ence really appreciated by everyonewho visited the festival.

“We are absolutely thrilled with thesupport we receive from St Austin’s

Priory,” said local co-ordinator DianeCroad.Pictured is Margaret Harris (right)presenting a cheque to Diane Croadand Kath Babbage (left) of IvybridgeFriends Group of Children’s HospiceSouth West

IVYBRIDGE TOWN TEAM has a new personat the helm. The town’s MP GaryStreeter has taken over as chairman ofthe regeneration group and has al-ready stamped his mark on the teamwith proposals to streamline thegroup’s committee.

In a bid to make the group more re-sponsive and to speed up decisionmaking, Mr Streeter has proposed cut-ting the committee from the present20+ members to 12 people. Memberswill be drawn from the town’s busi-ness community, alongside local au-thority members.

The Town Team initiative is backedby the government, and MPs havebeen encouraged to get involved withthe teams, which are tasked with tak-ing measures to make the town centreexperience a more positive one.

Mr Streeter is under no illusionsabout the size of the task the townfaces, which has become starker with

the announcement of the closure ofthe paper mill, but believes that long-term solutions lie with the people wholive and work in the town.

“I want the town team to be an op-portunity for everybody in Ivybridge tocontribute to the process,” said MrStreet. “We must make sure it is ajoined-up operation, which does notget dominated by one sector.

“One thing I am keen to implementas soon as possible is a fresh, evi-dence-based report on how the towncentre works, how retail, business andleisure interact.

“It is vital that the information onwhich decisions are based reflects howit really is on the ground.

“Only by doing this can we makebetter decisions, which are relevant toIvybridge as it is today.”

The new stream-lined town teamcommittee should be in place at thebeginning of this month.




CAFE IS NOW OPENThe Open House Cafe is back up andrunning. It is open on Friday 12 and19 this month, and recommences onFriday, 9 November, after half term.The cafe is open from 8pm until10pm at the Methodist Church Cafe.

I am very sad to say that this hasbeen the worst period since I be-came Mayor in May 2011.Incidents of anti-social behaviourand crime in our beautiful townare on the increase, therefore Ihave offered a reward for the nameor names of the culprits who aremaking every-day life a misery forthose people who are on the sharpend of their actions; providing thenamed persons are prosecuted.The source of this information willof course be kept strictly confiden-tial. Someone or some personsknow full well who is responsiblefor this mindless behaviour.We have, and will continue tohave, zero tolerance of such be-haviour in this town but I cannotdeal with this on my own andmust ask you to assist me in try-ing to prevent this kind of unac-ceptable behaviour.These are some of the examples ofwhat we are having to deal with – ifyou know anything about theseincidents and who the perpetra-tors are, please do come forward.

A brick/rock was thrownthrough a window at the leisurecentre, resulting in glass falling intothe swimming pool and the poolhaving to be closed at one of thebusiest times – the Bank Holidayweekend – not only causing incon-venience to the users of the poolbut also costing Tone Leisure, whorun the centre, at least £10,000.

Two sheds were set on fire onthe allotments at Filham Park,as well as 15 other sheds beingturned over, windows smashed,garden tools scattered all over theplace and plants being ripped up.

Victoria Park has again beenvandalised, with broken glass andbottles in the children’s play area, aswell as damage to beautiful trees.

The lovely garden and seatingarea in Leonards Road, whichmany of our elderly residents useduring the day, has yet againbeen vandalised, ie broken bot-

tles, littering and branches rippeddown from the trees.

The vets at Filham Park had afront window smashed.

At the War Memorial on Friday,7 September, at 7.30pm, I wit-nessed a disturbance whereby alocal person had seen a youthspitting on the memorial. I triedto point out to him that there arepeople’s names on the memorialwho had sacrificed their lives forus and if it had not been for themwe would not have the freedomwe have today. This youth knowswho he is – his parents, I am sure,would be disgusted with this typeof behaviour. He was with a num-ber of other youths in the agebracket between 14 and 15 yearsof age and I ask parents to en-quire with their youngsters if theywere in the vicinity of the WarMemorial at this time.

We are experiencing continuingvandalism and anti-social behav-iour near the town hall and inErme Court car park. We have anumber of people on CCTV, whichis being investigated by the police.

If you have any information onthese incidents, call the policenon-emergency line, 101, or youcan always contact me confiden-tially at the Town Hall by tele-phoning (01752) 893815.

As if things could not get worse, itwas announced on Wednesday, 12September, that Stowford Millwould close by 2014. I wasshocked to hear this sad news andreally feel for those people who willlose their jobs. I will do everything Ican to help and assist everyoneconcerned. One has to remember itis not just the employees who losetheir jobs, there are other people, iesuppliers and drivers, who rely onthe Mill for their livelihoods also.To those at the Mill, my personalmessage to you is that you are noton your own and there will be sup-port to you personally if so required.

Autumn recipe from Gribble’s...Pork Belly Slices with Cider & Apples

You need...6x pork belly slices

1 large red onion, quartered

2 large cooking apples, cored and cut in half horizontally

4 tsp brown sugar

Leaves from 2 sprigs of rosemary

500ml cider

Salt & black pepper

Preheat your oven to 180°C.

Score the skin of the pork belly slices, season the slices and rub salt into the scores. Lightly oil a shallow roasting tin and put

the onion quarters, apple halves and pork slices in. Sprinkle a teaspoon of sugar over each

apple half, season everything and put in the oven.

After half an hour, remove from the oven, pour the cider around

the pork, apples and onion, making sure to keep the pork skin above the liquid so that it

will crackle properly, and add the rosemary. Place the roasting tin back in the oven and cook for

another 40 minutes, until tender, checking occasionally that it

doesn’t dry out.

Remove from the oven, take the pork and apples out of the roasting tin and keep warm for 10 minutes.

If the pork skin hasn’t turned to crackling yet, pop it under the grill for a little while before resting. If

necessary, place the roasting tin on a ring and reduce the liquid until it

is rich and thick.

Taste and season. Serve the pork and apples with the cider

and onion sauce, fresh seasonal vegetables and mashed potatoes.



IT HAS BEEN an exciting start to the newterm for a pre-school after it took upan offer of a room from one of thetown’s primary schools and movedduring the summer holiday.

Ivybridge Pre-School now has itsown room at The Erme PrimarySchool, having previously shared thehall at St John’s Church.

Owner Nico la Moyes is delightedwith the move. “The church hall wasfine and we had great times there butas a shared space we had to put every-thing away at the end of every session.

“Here at The Erme, the room is solelyfor our children. We have everything weneed and we have been able to makethe environment suitable for children.It is nice to be able to set the room up aswe want and leave it that way.

“We have direct access to an out-door play area too, which is lovely.”

Although integration with the pri-mary school is one of the benefits ofthe move, the pre-school is self-con-tained with its own entrance, and ac-cess is controlled by pre-school staff.

Ivybridge Pre-School runs on Mon-day, Tuesday and Thursday between9am and 3pm, and Wednesday and Fri-days 9am to 1pm with whole day, morn-ing and afternoon sessions available.î To find out more, contact NicolaMoyes on 07787 977504

A monthly guide to thewonderful wildlife youmay see in IvybridgeWildABOUT

IVYBRIDGEBY MARGERY EVANS AND CELIA RALPH

Many of you may have seen thisamazing circle of fungi that ap-peared in St John’s Churchyard

two years ago. It is likely to be there againthis autumn and will be even bigger asthe mycelium continue to spread outfrom the original source, probably a de-caying tree root. Fungi are a fascinating and essential partof our ecosystem, breaking down de-caying vegetable matter. They mostly liveunderground, because as they do notcontain chlorophyll, so do not need sun-light. The parts we see above ground, es-pecially at this time of year, are the fruitingbodies containing spores, and there aremany thousands of these of all shapes,sizes and colours – except green.Some, such as the beautiful red toad-stool, the Amanita Muscaria or FlyAgaric are very familiar from children’sbooks with elves or fairies sitting on topof them. These tend to grow under birchtrees and a good place to find them isnear the Hillfort in Hembury Woods.

Look at them, photograph them butdon’t touch them as they are very poi-sonous. Even more deadly are theirclose relatives, the white DestroyingAngel and the Death Cap. Another well-known fungus is the Stinkhorn, found inLongtimber Woods and recognised byits appalling smell and very distinctiveappearance – the Latin name, PhallusImpudicus, is very descriptive of this!For the most part we just come acrossfungi on our walks in the woods or in thegarden but cannot identify them. Someare very unwelcome on our property,especially the Honey Fungus which can

kill trees and shrubs, and Dry Rot whichcan cause havoc to wooden structures.Some wild mushrooms are very goodto eat but you really do need to be withan expert and take great care. If peoplefind the very desirable ones such asChanterelles they tend to keep the lo-cation to themselves. Most of us prob-ably play safe and buy our mushroomsfrom the supermarket but may not beaware how often we do consume fungi– as yeast in bread, beer or marmite orin antibiotics such as penicillin.

The next local DWT event is a meeting inthe South Brent Old School on 19 Oc-tober, at 7.30pm. Local wildlife photog-rapher John Walters will be showingsome of his amazing pictures of thewildlife of southern Dartmoor. All are wel-come. Admission £2.50. Children free.

Citybus comes to IvybridgeThe 45 service will run every 30 minutes to RoyalParade from Ivybridge railway station. You can drive tothe rail station and park for free or pick it up at the townhall bus stop. No parking charges in Plymouth, noaggravation in finding a parking space etc – seems likea good deal to me. Only trouble is, someone removedthe bus shelter from the rail station so I’m desperatelylooking for another one!

Summer Reading ChallengeI had the great good fortune, along with the Mayor, topresent certificates and medals to children who hadpassed the library’s Summer Reading Challenge. Idon’t know about the children, but the Mayor and I hada great Saturday morning! In all, 152 children qualified –absolutely brilliant, well done to all and of course to themums and dads for their encouragement.

Manstow FCLast month I was delighted to be able to fund thepurchase of new goalposts for Manstow FC. The club,set up and run by Nick Cummins and his band ofvolunteers, go from strength-to-strength and has beenan absolute boon for Ivybridge youngsters over theyears. Team sports are a great way of getting youngpeople to work together for each other. The club iscurrently recruiting players between the ages of eightand 16 – contact Nick on (01752) 894200 if interested.

Active Life Active MindThere is lots going on at the library in October. Seepage 17 for more details.

Locality budgetEvery year I get a small budget to assist clubs and volun-tary organisations etc in the town and I still have some inmy back pocket.

Fun & friendly f itness

FUN, FRESH AIR and betterfitness are all on offer witha new outdoor traininggroup.

Beacon Outdoor Fitnesstrain at Moorhaven Play-ing Fields, offering out-door group training topeople of all levels of fit-ness and abilities. Theworkouts are centredaround being fun, takingin the scenery, as well asgetting lots of fresh air.

You are supported andencouraged to challengeyourself to enable you toachieve your goal,whether it is weight loss,

toning and increasingyour muscle mass, boost-ing self-esteem, betteroverall fitness or for gen-eral health related issues.

Beacon Outdoor Fitnessis the brainchild of KaraThompson, whose ownbattle with weight and fit-ness issues was the inspi-ration behind the group.

After being a very fit andhealthy child/teenager,Kara gained weight in herlate teens, and into her 20s

and early 30s, which waswhen she began her battleof losing weight and thenputting it back on again.

Following the births ofher two children, Kara’sweight was having an im-pact on her health, sowithin weeks of having hersecond child, she em-barked on her weight lossjourney, losing over fivestone, through healthyeating and exercise, in twoyears.

Beacon Outdoor Fitnessis Kara’s way of helpingother people achieve thesame results.

It’s all very different fromKara’s original career inthe health sector, althoughshe has been surprised byhow much the biome-chanics and anatomy andphysiology she learnt onthose jobs has been usefulin her new career.

“Setting up Beacon Out-door Fitness is a decision Iam very glad I made,” saysKara. “I am loving helpingothers achieve their owngoals and objectives.

“Training outdoors isamazing, even when we getwet, it is so much nicerthan being stuck indoors.”

Beacon Outdoor Fitnessoffers a completely differ-ent, unique fitness experi-ence compared to thegym, and Kara is alwayson hand to support andencourage members.

Take BETTER PHOTOSMore tips on how to improve the images you take using your digital camera from David Rayner of Ivybridge & District Camera Club

FOR THE BEST light,photographers oftenadvise to photographin the morning orevening. At thesetimes of day, the lightcasts lovely shadowsand often has dra-matic colour, too.

But while a photo-graphic trip may beorganised to use par-ticular lighting, it isnot practical to organ-ise every outing just tosuit photography.

So this month, let’shave a look at whatcan be done to helpthe all-day photogra-pher.

The golden rule isto look at your cam-era’s LCD screenafter you have takenevery picture. Inbright sunshine theLCD is often difficultto see clearly and thisoften means peopleassume everything isOK, when it’s not.Even in bright day-light you should beable to see whetherthe basic parts of theimage are correct.

For example, you shouldbe able to see if clouds inthe sky are captured – ifnot, and if the foregroundis very dark, then maybeyou have attempted totake a picture that has toomuch contrast for thecamera to deal with.

This is the moment foryou to take control. Lookfor another angle or com-position to take. This isthe big advantage of digi-tal photography – youdon’t have to wait untilprints come back beforeyou find out they are not

what you expected. A tipfor looking at your LCDscreen is to put yourself orthe camera in the shadefor a moment. Some cam-eras have a screen-bright-ening feature in the menu.Making you own shadowby putting the cameraunder your coat workswell too. If none of thesework, check if the camerasettings have been acci-dentally re-adjusted.

Having got the goldenrule under control – whatdo you do when you dis-cover you have not taken a

good picture and movingto another angle hasn’tworked either? Well, thenext trick is to changewhat type of photographyou are taking.

What type of pictures? Inmost cases, we will have toreduce the brightnessrange we ask the camera totake. Simply reducing theamount of sky in the photooften works. Detail photosare always useful, and oftenreveal something interest-ing about the location too.Taking detail pictures usu-ally means that the sky is

excluded from theimage entirely –andthe big bright sky isoften the trouble-maker for your cam-era’s range.

Another idea is tomake use of thecamera’s limitationsby deliberately look-ing for shadows andsilhouettes. For thisto work effectivelyusing automatic set-tings on the camerayou’ll need to find ascene that has fairlyequal amounts ofdark and light in thecomposition.

One trick, that isuseful for un-bal-anced silhouettes, isoften a good tip forother scenes that aregoing wrong, too –just point the cam-era at a less brightpart of the scene,push the shutterhalfway down andthis will often ‘lock’the exposure at thatpart of the scene.With the shutter but-

ton still half-pressed, raisethe camera to your desiredscene and complete theshutter press.

Of course, going insideworks. Lots of places havecovered areas that still letin natural light. Oftenthese places are full of in-terest too. Try to avoidwindows and doorwaysappearing large in yourcomposition because oth-erwise they will dominatethe exposure again, justlike being outside.

Fill-in flash is anotheroption, especially for por-traits, and we’ll look atflash another time.

Taking detail photos helps exclude the bright sky

An Ivybridge school buzzed withcreativity during its recent Arts Week.Staff and children at Stowford Schoolwhole-heartedly embraced the artistictimetable put together by the school’sart co-ordinator, Sophie Bickle, whichenabled the children to participate in anamazing range of opportunities.The week started with each teachertaking a group of mixed age children toproduce a piece of artwork based on atheme related to their nominatedcolour. This gave pupils a chance towork with children and teachers that

they hadn’t been withbefore.

During their dance sessions, classescreated a dance routine to the hit TrueColours and throughout the week everychild had the opportunity to contributeto the new playground murals, as well aswork with a group of students from thecommunity college to create collages forthe cloakroom areas. The week alsoincluded music opportunities and eachclass focussed on a different Europeanartist, using their work to inspire anartist’s reference page.The week finished with a colours paradeled by the Kestrel class samba band anda performance of the song This is ourWorld for parents.

Thank you to those nice people whosaid they enjoy reading my monthly arti-cle in The Ivybridge magazine. Many ofyou said how you particularly liked myaccount of a weekend in the life of aduty vet. So, what about those more un-usual species that we deal with?Big parrots present challenges. Theirbeaks, which are designed to openBrazil nuts, are not averse to crunchingfingers and their deafening squawks,and sometimes colourful language, canempty a waiting room.Once, when clipping the wing feathers ofa young African Grey parrot calledCasper, I realised that I had gone veryclose to a blood feather and winced,where upon the parrot uttered “Bugger!”.The owner said that this is what her hus-band had said when Casper bit his neck!When small birds peck and hang on,often drawing blood, a short dunk underthe tap usually results in a release, notso with the snapping turtle that got holdof the flesh in the web between my

thumb and index finger. He just thoughtthe water was great and showed no signof letting go. I had to pull a piece of fleshoff before I could get him off my hand.Micro-chipping Macaws and big raptors,like Eagle owls, can be scary, too. Tryexplaining to a steely eyed owl that put-ting a microchip into its breast muscle isfor its’ own good! Those talons, that canshred a rabbit, are millimetres from myhand and I am relying on the gauntletedhandler to keep them off me.For that reason, I feel rather safer han-dling pigeons, of which we get an end-less stream. The poor, hapless feralpigeons that roost on the ledges underthe Manadon flyover are forever gettingsucked off their roosts when high lorriespass under and those that aren’t pigeonpate get bought in with broken limbs.Fortunately for Plymouth’s pigeons, thereare a couple of wonderful people whoare prepared to take them on and nursethem back to health.‘Spartacus’, the Black headed gull,came from Exmouth with an old fracture

which someone had put a bandage onit. He boasted a three-inch long daggerfor a beak and he was definitely notafraid to use it. The first thing I did was towrap elastoplast round his beak andstick a lump of blue tack onto the point(vet 2 - seagull 0!). After examining hiswing, I realised that it was beyond sav-ing, but his kind rescuers said that theyknew of a sanctuary in Northumberlandwhich would take him if I could save him,and that they were prepared to nursehim back to health and then drive him upthere.Humbled by their dedication and human-ity, I performed a first – I amputated thegull’s wing at the radio-ulnar joint. I could tell you about the poorly hedge-hogs, frogs who have been injured bystrimmers, bats with rips in their wings,bedraggled fledglings and the rest whocome through our doors. We give freefirst aid to all wildlife but the cost of theiron-going care is borne by the kind andgenerous volunteers who nurse themback to health.

A SWIMMING CLUB is anticipating an influx of new mem-bers following the success of the Olympics.

Dinnaton Swimming Club, which had one of its bestseasons on record last year, is open to budding newswimmers for the forthcoming season.

Despite being one of the smaller swimming clubs inthe country, its size has not constrained its success. Lastseason saw the club pick up 11 first and 11 third placesat the Devon County ASA Championships, and Ben Git-tens and Megan Bowen both competed at the ASA Na-tional Age Group Championships, with Megan winningGold. Megan, 14, also took part in the Olympic Trials atthe Aquatic Centre on the Olympic Park. Closer tohome, Harriet Tuck won silver in the annual PlymouthBreakwater Swim.

“We are all incredibly excited about the potential forthis year,” raved Emma Richards, chair of DinnatonSwimming Club. “Dinnaton Swimming Club isn’t thebiggest club in the South West, but we strive to becomethe best. The appeal of our club is that we’re open toeveryone, from youngsters as young as four-and-a-halfthrough to senior citizens.

“We’re a small, friendly, close-knit swimming clubthat has turned into more of a family over the years. Thededication of our volunteer coaches and commitmentof our swimmers is a true testament to the success ofour club.”
