Editorial by Sarah
Will they?, Won’t they?, I am sureyou have all faced this quandarywhilst driving to Bude. Fine if youare heading for the town centre,just pop down Kings Hill Road, BUTif you are wanting Morrisons or,heaven forbid, Pedbode Vets,(where I have spent so much time lately with a dog with a poorly eyethat they should name a new wing after her!), ARE THE TRAFFICLIGHTS GOING TO BE THERE!!!.I was tickled over Christmas to see the working skeletons on thefences, they started off on Facebook and eventually ended up onSpotlight. But, in all seriousness, as I understand it, the roundaboutwas part of the planning restrictions placed on Bevis whilst buildingthe new estate. So, Bevis’s fault then…noooo apparently they paidthe money for the roundabout to the council who then dragged theirheels in getting on with the work. The official line is that a lot ofdifferent utilities had to get their ducks in a line, which is why itstaking so long. All I know is, I sat there for 15 minutes the othermorning and saw one skeleton, ooops sorry workman move one sign inthat whole time!!

\Avian Bird Flu - advice from the Government web site
For more information and a video which you can watch, please go towww.gov.uk/government/news/avian-influenza-bird-flu-in-winter-2016-to-2017
Risks to public health are very low and avian flu does not pose a food safety riskfor UK consumers. We have taken several actions to reduce the risks and helpprotect poultry and captive birds from avian flu.If you keep poultry – whether on a commercial scale or simply a small backyardflock – you are now required by law to house them (keep them under cover) orotherwise keep them separate from wild birds. This requirement (the PreventionZone) has now been extended until 28 February 2017. We have also bannedgatherings of poultry across the UK.All poultry keepers must continue to keep a close watch on the health of theirbirds, and take steps to reduce the risk of infection via the environment, for exam-ple in wild bird droppings, by practicing good biosecurity. You should do this evenif your birds are inside.
Members of the public are encouraged toreport dead wild waterfowl (swans, geeseor ducks), or other dead wild birds suchas gulls or birds of prey, to the Defra hel-pline on 03459 33 55 77. Defra will thencollect some of these birds and test themto help us understand how the disease isdistributed geographically and in differenttypes of bird.

Police in Devon and Cornwall have created a new way for the public to contact them innon-emergency situations - by email. There had been concerns about the time it takes for101 calls to be answered - with the force reporting a 35 per cent increase during thesummer. Now, in a bid by the force to reduce the amount of calls they get and improve the"unacceptable" phone service, people are being asked to report crime via email or use the'contact an officer' facility.
35% Rise in police calls during the summer months
Sandy Brooks, head of the Police Contact Centre said that “many 101 calls are aboutnon-police matters such as fly tipping, stray dogs, noisy neighbours and illegaly parkedcars which are problems for the council. “Alison Hernadez Police and Crime commissioner for Devon and Cornwall says - “I'mpleased the police are introducing alternative contact methods for non-urgent matters. Irecognise not everyone necessarily wants to call 101 and potentially have to wait severalminutes to be dealt with. Choice is important.”
8 minutes - the average wait time for non-urgent matters.
Any urgent information will be posted on the jacobstow village facebookpage, don’t worry if you do not use Facebook, go to the jacobstow village
web page and follow the link from there

Action Fraud has received several reports from victims who havebeen sent convincing looking emails claiming to be from Amazon. The spoofedemails from “[email protected]” claim recipients have made an orderonline and mimic an automatic customer email notification. The scam emailclaims recipients have ordered an expensive vintage chandelier. Other reportedexamples include: Bose stereos, iPhones and luxury watches.The emails cleverly state that if recipients haven’t authorised the transactionthey can click on the help centre link to receive a full refund. The link leads toan authentic-looking website, which asks victims to confirm their name, address,and bank card information.Amazon says that suspicious e-mails will often contain:Links to websites that look like Amazon.co.uk, but aren't Amazon.co.uk.Attachments or prompts to install software on your computer.Typos or grammatical errors.Forged (or spoofed) e-mail addresses to make it look like the e-mail is comingfrom Amazon.co.uk.

A HISTORY OF JACOBSTOW SCHOOL. PART 1Imagine making your way to Jacobstow Church to display a handwrittennotice which is going to change the way children will
be educated. This took placein 1873 and was a direct re-sult of the 1870 EducationAct which declared that at-tendance at school was tobe compulsory for all chil-dren and to achieve that, all
schools would have to be properly and efficiently ad-ministered either by Church or State, or both. The no-tice was put up by the Rev F.T. Batchelor and calledfor a meeting to be held to find a way of “Providing and maintaining anEfficient School” because the Education Department had decided therewas “no efficient school in the Parish of Jacobstow.” This would certainlyhave upset Betsy Hockaday who in 1833 was recorded to be running anold Dame School which existed at Pear Tree Cottage, supported by sub-scription in which 10 boys and 12 girls were instructed. An old school wasalso mentioned in the Vestry Book of 1836 and the Old School, now theParish Hall was known to be in use in 1868 run by Sylvanus Henry Smith.The schooling at that time was most likely deemed as not being efficientdue to low pupil numbers. It fell to the lot of Miss Kate Ford to begin thetask of creating an efficient school in the village. Work commenced on anew school building around 1877 which is now a private residence. Theschool was visited year after year by Her Majesty’s Inspectorate but theyonly came to pass judgement, never to help or advise. If the school did notpass inspections, they would not get the es-sential funding needed. The school curriculumfocused on “The 3 R’s” as well as being ableto recite prayers. Often the teacher had toteach the whole school at a time, all of whomwere mixed ages. A log book was kept andcontains lists of all songs and poems taught.There were also lessons in Nature Studywhich included “The Dog” and “A Bird’s Nest.”
The Parish Hall (Used in 1868 onwards) and the 1877 school building(now seen here in use as a private residence. We would welcome any ofyour photos which will be safely returned. Write or e mail or phone us!

CANWORTHY BOOK CLUBBlack Narcissus by Rumer GoddenA Himalayan palace, once a harem is bestowed on an orderof nuns. The story tells of their existence in the palace andtheir hopes of rebuilding it and how the history of the palaceintervenes,We considered the book well written but somewhat dated as it wasoriginally written in 1939. Although some of us enjoyed this book, otherswere bored by a lack of plot. We felt that the nuns lacked spirituality.Part of their problem could have been altitude sickness as they were livingvery high up in the Himalayas.
Bob’s Gardening SpotYou should be liming your beds now if youare going to grow anything from thecabbage family. Now is the time to buy andchit your early potatoes and to sow yourearly peas and shallots. Also, now’s thetime to prune your autumn fruitingraspberries.If you are planning to plant any bare rootedtrees or shrubs, now’s the time to do it. Top dress any pot grown shrubs;do this by taking out the top 2 inches of old compost and re-top with lovelyfresh compost and a slow release feed. March is the ideal time to plant ordivide Perennials. Lift the clumps with a fork and break them apart, thenreplant.By now your potatoes should be producing nice sprouting growth which isplanted facing up to the surface. Now, you can also plant onion sets about4 inches apart to give the space to grow nice wide onions - watch out forpigeons pulling them up!!
Cornwall Council advisedthat from March 2017 Plastic pots, Tubs and Trays etc. willbe recyclable.

The funeral service for William Gordon Harris took place atBodmin Crematorium, on December 30th followed by a memorialservice at Jacobstow Parish Church. Donations were given inlieu of flowers for the leukaemia fund at Treliske and amounted to£1155. Gordon was born on 11th January, 1938, at East Panson,St Giles in the Heath, to John and Lorna Harris. He was theyoungest of three children, following Ronald his older brother andJanet, his sister. The family attended St Giles Methodist Churchand Sunday School. Gordon was brought up on the farm where he enjoyed country pursuits withhis dad. He had his own pony, Laddy, which he would ride everywhere including through thefamily farm house (a story he loved to tell!).He attended St Giles Primary School and HolsworthySchool. Following the death of his dad when Gordon was just 11, two years later the familymoved to Ash Farm, Jacobstow. He then attended Jacobstow Primary School for a short while,riding Laddy there and back. Gordon finished school at the age of 14 and followed in his father’sfootsteps, and continued to work the family farm. He was in charge of the pigs, buying, rearingand selling for several years. He was involved in many community projects including a dramaclub, he was on the Parish Hall Committee and helped run the local youth club. He was also amember of Bude Sea Anglers and rang the bells at Jacobstow Church.He married Elizabeth Audrey Cowling in 1958. They had two children, Marina Elizabeth (aka Min)born the same year, followed by Eric William in 1962. When the marriage came to an end,Gordon’s mum helped with the children until Sabina Heal (affectionately named Aunty by thechildren) came to the farm as housekeeper. On 29th of March, 1974, Gordon married Linda JoyceChidley and two years later moved to Trelay Bungalow, St Gennys, and worked for his brother-in-law, Jim Cory, on the neighbouring farm.His first grandchild, Rebecca, was born December 1983 followed by Gordon and Lin’s only child,Rachel Lorna, on 5th of January, 1984. More grandchildren, Claire, Charlie, Kieran and Loganand five great grandchildren followed over the years to come.When he finished working for Jim he went on to work for many other farmers including TrevorShute, Trevor Biscombe, Michael Hicks, Tony Alexander and Elizabeth Heard. Gordon finishedhis working life at the age of 59 when he was diagnosed with leukaemia. The next six monthsbrought many spells in Treliske Hospital receiving chemotherapy. Gordon as always wasn't goingto give in and fought bravely to overcome the disease.This gave him the desire to give something back and he became a keen fundraiser and with hisfamily went on to have many BBQs, bingos, whist drives and other events in aid of not justLeukaemia but also the air ambulance, Jacobstow Church, Jacobstow School and LiberalDemocrats with which he visited the new European Parliament in Strasburg. He also helped outyearly with the pensioners’ dinner at Jacobstow. Unfortunately bad things have a habit ofreturning and he was diagnosed again with cancer of the urethra in 2015 and was told he wouldhave little time left. In his usual style he fought valiantly against it and went on to have anothergood year with family and friends. He was himself to the very last. He was taken ill in Decemberand sadly passed on the 13th peacefully in his sleep at Stratton Hospital surrounded by hisfamily. The family are very grateful for the wonderful care he had there. He was very proud of allof his family including his sons-in-law Andy and Jamie and daughter-in-law, Jacqui, and will bemissed by all. He will be remembered for his wit as well as his caring and loving nature.

Mary’s Murmurings
How one can have a pocket of pure pleasure when one leastexpects it.Catching the last moments of Autumn. The tunnel of gold,justbefore the wind and rain take those last leaves. Pruning the wildroses ready for next spring. The Holy Well never disappoints.such a magical spot. Sang my mum happy birthday, and had funclearing the little stream that I imagine being a gorge in a millionyears.The shaft of sunlight like a searchlight moved by the wind ….

We walkedalong a very muddy coastpath down to Millook where Mick had kindly delivered Mary’s home mademince pies and mulled wine as well as a non-alchoholic version for those whowere on dry January or simply wanted to get through the walk still on their
feet! The mince pieswere delicious, thankyou Mary! There wasa really festiveatmosphere and wecontinued our walkcrossing to the widepath and climbing upthrough Lundy woods.Despite the steepdescent, the ascentwas gradual andhelped by beautifulscenery and genialcompany. All toosoon we had come full

have been scattered throughout human history forcenturies. A potion can not only improve yourrelationship and lift your mood but it’s been shown to
lower blood pressure, boost immunity, improve hearthealth, and lead you to a longer life. So the next time you
find yourself lacking in the passion department, brew up thislove potion and get ready for a merry time!
You will need…-2 teaspoons of dried jasmine flowers-1 tablespoon of dried rose petals-Vanilla pod split, or ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract-1-2 cinnamon sticks-1 cup of fresh water-A pot or sauce pan-A strainerDirectionsPour 1 cup of fresh water into a saucepan. You can add more or less, withthe former resulting in a stronger ‘potion’ and the latter a weaker tastingone. Add to the water 2 teaspoons of dried jasmine flowers, 1 tablespoonof dried rose petals, a vanilla pod split lengthwise or ¼ teaspoon of vanillaextract, and 1-2 cinnamon sticks. Give the mixture a little stir to incorporateeverything, and then simmer for 3-5 minutes.Remove from heat and strain immediately. Allow this to cool and thenbottle it.

Book Club Visit to Kernow ChocolateIt was totally Marion McDonald,s fault, and that is what I will use in mydefence! Marion works in the gift shop at Lanhydrock, and she broughtsome Kernow chocolate to one of our meetings.. sublimely yummy, c’anteven begin to tell you how nice it was. Anyway, she then tells us “You canvisit the factory and see it being made”. That was the Book ClubChristmas shindig taken care of then.The factory is at St Eval, about a half hour drive, unless you get lost likeI did, but its lovely countryside, so it doesn't matter. You enter via thegift shop (good plan!), And then make your way tothe coffee shop where one wall is entirely glass andyou can see all the production line; all I saw wasmassive amounts of chocolate being poured,moulded and tempered. A lovely hot chocolatelater, you just get a huge mug of hot milk and a jugof melted chocolate to pour in, we hit the gift shop.All in all, well worth a visit, not a whole day out,maybe just pop in on your way to Padstein.
The Christmas Lunch was onceagain delicious and enjoyable.We were entertained byJacobstow Children with musicand carols.Very many thanks to all theorganisers and helpers.
On SATURDAY 7 Januaryyou may have heard St James’s bellsringing for a while … It was a full peel,lasting two hours and forty-eight minutes!The Ringers came from all over, 2 fromMilton, Oxon, 1 from Hemelhemstead, 1from Bovey Tracey and 1 from Tiverton StPeter.

CHRISTMAS BABY
On Christmas Day I received the best Christmas present ever. I became a grand-mother. My daughter Sarah who lives in Bristol was due to have a baby on Christ-
mas Eve so my husband Jon and I madeno plans for Christmas and our son wasstaying with his girlfriend in Newcastle. OnChristmas Eve Jon and I went to the cribservice and I found myself blubbing andunable to sing during “Away in a Manger”being so overcome with emotions andthinking about my daughter. At seveno’clock on Christmas morning Sarah rangto say she was in labour but had been sent
home as it could take a while. She asked us not to drive up to Bristol immediatelyas it could be ages. Jon and I decided to put the turkey in our neighbour’s chestfreezer and then we waited… and waited. We didn’t feel like opening presents,there was no dinner to prepare (in Jon’s words “It will just be food not ChristmasDinner”) and we both felt excited but also restless and anxious. Then at one o’clock, Sarah’s boyfriend Tom rang and said “Get you skates on, we’re in thedelivery room.” We jumped in the car and zoomed to Bristol, the roads being al-most empty. On arrival at the hospital some two hours later, the midwife said wecould go in to the delivery room where we were greeted by the sight of our daugh-ter cradling a tiny baby in her arms. “You’ve got a baby!” were my first words (bitobvious) and then hugs all round to proud parents and grandparents. We stayed ashort while and then drove home again promising to come up the day after BoxingDay where we would visit again, this time meeting up with Sarah’s brother (now aproud uncle) and his girlfriend, which we did! On Boxing Day Jon and I cooked
the turkey, drank champagne and celebratedChristmas a day late but very happy and feel-ing blessed. Our grandson is called Ethan.
