BIRD NOTES
RARE SIGHTING
At the end of April a Great Blue Heron was seen
on the Isles of Scilly. This species is the largest of
the American herons and breeds in much of North and Central America. The bird’s
appearance sparked a rush of bird watchers from the mainland, some from as far away as
Yorkshire. Will Wagstaff, the Island’s resident bird expert, described it as extremely rare.
This particular bird on the Scillies proved rather aloof and didn’t mix with the Grey Herons
there.
The bird of the moment is definitely the Red Kite. Travelling up the M5
on the 14th April, I saw a dozen or more large birds of prey overhead
which I was reasonably sure to be Red Kites. Dick Twinney in the
Newquay Voice on the 22nd April featured the Red Kite in his article and
hoped the species will gradually spread in a South Westerly direction and establish
Themselves in Cornwall.
A well-known tabloid on the 23rd April quoted Paul Stancliffe of the British
Trust of Ornithology as saying “The hot weather means birds migrating
North fail to ‘switch off’ and fly further” into Britain.
Species reported have been Red Rumped Swallows, Red Footed Falcons, a
Great Blue Heron and more than 100 Hoopoes (the national bird of Israel).
The Hoopoe is a truly exotic looking bird and on more than one occasion I
have seen them on the Isles Of Scilly.
In Cornwall, a Hooded Crow has been seen at Porthgwarra. Elsewhere in the county,
Wrynecks, Ring Ouzels, Red Kites and a Hoopoe have been spotted.
I hope by now that most locals will have stopped feeding the birds. There is plenty of food
for them to collect naturally and putting peanuts out could be dangerous if taken back and
fed to young birds in the nest. Feeding them in your garden can resume in the Autumn.

Brilliant Result For Holywell Bay SLSC
On Saturday 18 April, 27 Nippers with their parents and
supporters from Holywell Bay Surf Lifesaving Club travelled
to Millfield School in Somerset to take part in the National Surf Lifesaving Stillwater Pool Championships
weekend. The event was open to all surf lifesaving clubs with children from 7 – 13 competing in events
such as flipper race, board race, manikin race, board rescue, tube rescue, board relay, manikin relay and a
medley relay.
Competition was fierce between the 600+ competitors from 25 clubs who competed in boys, girls and
mixed races where points were awarded to the first 16 places. Holywell Bay SLSC won a fantastic 8 gold
medals, 9 silver medals and 2 bronze medals accumulating a total of 560.5 points. This resulted in an
amazing 5th place overall which, for a small club, is truly exceptional. Congratulations to all our Nippers
who competed and a big thank you to all parents and supporters who helped in scoring, marking, timing
and ferrying equipment.
Medals and certificates were presented on the beach at Holywell Bay on Saturday 2 May to every Nipper
who competed. Even the wet weather did nothing to dampen the tremendous club team spirit with loud
applause from fellow Nippers, parents and helpers.
Any parishioners are more than welcome to come down to the beach on a Saturday morning to watch the
training of our local children. Training for Nippers and Juniors is from 9.45 to 12.30 every Saturday
throughout the season.

CUBERT METHODIST CHURCH

With the Easter Season ending on Pentecost Sunday, we are reminded of the Apostles commission at the giving of
the Holy Spirit; that they were to go and spread the news that Jesus is alive and that through his death and
resurrection we can be forgiven and be united with him in heaven. As Christians and as the Methodist Church in
the village, we too have a commission, much the same as those followers of Jesus 2000 years ago. Our desire is
for people in our community and beyond to know and experience the love and grace of God. As we meet on a
Sunday, although we are often few in numbers, we are always very prayerful for the outreach work that we do
through the many groups that use the Church building during the week; that as people enter through the doors of
the Church, they may feel and know that God loves them and cares for them. So please come along to any of the
groups and activities that may appeal to you during the week or come along on a Sunday Morning and share
worship with us.
Mondays: Toddler group: 10am – 12:00
Craft and Chat: 1 – 3pm
Sing4fun: 7 – 8:15
Wednesday: Youth Club: 6 – 7:30

PARENT GOVERNOR
The children have finished their SATs and can now embrace the final half term of the academic year and
hopefully some fine weather too.
Some of you may have noticed our gorgeous new fence. The sculpted additions to the top of the green fence
have been influenced by the children themselves. Every day I see something different, a VW camper van, a
mermaid and a rowing boat to name but a few.
The school will be starting swimming lessons and as part of the national curriculum all children have to be able
to swim 25 metres by the time they are eleven. We are extremely proud of the fact that many of our children
have far exceeded this distance well before the age of eleven. The lesson are rolled out to our older students
first and extended throughout the school.
The Summer Fayre was a great success. We had our five winners of the Cubert’s Got Talent performing twice
throughout the afternoon. We really do have some very talented young performers in Cubert School. They did
a great job entertaining the parents and other attendees of the Fayre. I would like to thank the PTA and staff for
all their hard work putting the Fayre together and ensuring it ran smoothly. In addition, thanks to all of you who
supported the event by attending, donating prizes, arranging printing, and generally being involved in making it
the success it was.

NEIGHBOURHOOD WATCH
13
The Parish Council are mindful to bring this to the attention of all parishioners.
Objective
To set up a neighbourhood watch within Cubert Parish. The idea is to inform people of any police incidents in the
parish and to alert residents of potential issues.
=======================================================
Co-ordinators Wanted
The work of a co-ordinator is not onerous – the procedure is that we send to prospective co-ordinators a form to
be completed and returned to the office. The details of the person are checked against the Police computer to
make sure they are bona fide good citizens !!!
Once this is done we send them a pack of information which includes a letter for them to circulate to their
neighbours seeking permission to hold on their own computer the email addresses of their neighbours. We send to
the co-ordinator, hopefully by email, details of any incidents on their patch and ask them to pass on the
information to their neighbours.
In the first instance if anyone is interested in becoming a co-ordinator please contact cllr. Bill Longden (01637
831036, [email protected] or on facebook) or David Hawken 01637 830947 clerk to the council.

LETTER FROM LONDON
City of my birth. Now a brief return –
In transit from a northern destination,
Remembering that when I was so small
Everything was huge in my estimation.
A most welcome peacefulness in my room
After travelling, carrying, all the hassle –
But soon out and about once again,
Walking into the Oxford Street bustle.
So I trod the famous shopping street
And looked long in many a big shop
Decided to sometimes break for coffee
Until my weary feet shouted stop !
Back to my peaceful room, now to watch
Through the little window up so high,
A seeming world full of aeroplanes
Minutes only apart cross the evening sky.
Born here in England’s capital city
I had many a chance to travel and roam,
But, soon, I shall travel back to Cubert
Because that is the place I now call home.

by “Beaches and Cream” W.I. at Newquay W.I. Hall(Tues. 2nd June) and lunch at Trevaskis Farm(Wed. 1st July).
We are busy collecting filled gift bags for our special raffle stall at this year’s azz in the Park event on Tues. 4th
August. Please bring your contributions to next month’s meeting. Gail and Sue will be attending this year’s
Speaker’s Audition Day on Wed. 15th July. Josie Grant has kindly booked front row seats at Lane Theatre on
Tues.16th June to see “Girl Band”. Please sign the board if wishing to attend. Unfortunately, the Spires
Restaurant lunch at Truro College is now postponed until September due to the fact that the 28th May, the date
previously arranged with them, actually falls during half-term week when the students are on holiday! Regarding
our Annual Bulb Scheme, please give your orders to Anne Wall together with payment by next meeting. It has
been agreed that Crantock W.I. will donate money to provide a tulip bulb display in the three wooden planters
sited in and around the village green. The magnificent cherry tree was donated by the W.I. many years ago.
Following Janis’s report as Treasurer, Veronica and Linda reported on the Spring Countdown meeting, where this
year’s W.I. resolution (proposed by North Duffield W.I.) was discussed. ‘The W.I. calls upon the government to
remove the distinction between personal and nursing care in the assessment of individuals, in order to advance
health and wellbeing.’ There appears to be inequality in the amount of care vulnerable patients receive around
the country. It is estimated that over 2 million people in the U.K. have social care related needs. Of these, half
receive help in their own homes which is often unpaid and provided by friends and family members. For
individuals to qualify for NHS continuing care, they must have a major primary health need.
Only around 60,000 people benefit under this scheme
with many unaware they have a right to receive
support. One person is diagnosed with dementia every
three minutes in Britain. Veronica will take our views
forward to the NFWI’s AGM at the Albert Hall in June.
After lovely refreshments, Sue Stevens gave an
introductory talk about her life, having recently joined
the Crantock W.I. as a committee member. Sue grew
up in Crantock as her parents ran a guest house on
Beach Road for many years. At the age of eighteen Sue
left home with a friend, hitching a lift to Bristol on a
China Clay truck! There Sue found work as a filing clerk
with the Imperial Tobacco Company. Female employees
enjoyed the gift of 20 cigarettes per week whilst men
received 40! Sue married, had a son and worked
in various parts of the country, even in Madrid for four
years, before returning to live in Cubert thirteen years
ago. Sue concluded her talk by displaying a beautiful
mpressionistic wall hanging of Crantock beach which
Sue created at a recent W.I. workshop.
Salli Blackford announced the results of this month’s
competition, a hand knitted item; 1st Marianne, 2nd Val,
3rd Sonia.
Following the distribution of birthday posies and the
drawing of the raffle, the meeting closed with the
National Anthem. Next meeting Tuesday 9th june @
2pm with entertainment from Dew Vardh
(2 Cornish Bards). Competition - a poem written by you.

Dear Villagers of Cubert and Holywell.
Who knows about building in India? Shall I tear my hair out now or wait for it to fall out?
Usually I am known for my patience, but culture is very different in India. Let me explain;
Pete (my husband) and I have just returned from a busy time out there in India; it's very hot and dusty, it's hard work,
the language seems impossible to learn (we're trying), the customs are strange, the food spicy and the mosquitoes
bite! But that's the challenge and we're not giving up.
Many of you know the story - we sold the café and bought the bricks to build a children's home.
It's just about ready. The estimate included all the electrical fittings.....but not the connection. AAAHHH – NO! THAT'S
JUST GREAT ISN'T IT.
These children have been born into a dirty, poor and oppressive environment, one that ruins your self-esteem and
tries to teach children it's 'normal'. They are from the lowest caste (the Dalits), who have been known for centuries as
'untouchables'; denied all kinds of things; benefits, education, and fair employment. Even water. What is going on
here?
Well, I'm stepping out to raise what is needed so they can have hot water, lighting (it gets dark at 6pm all year round)
and ceiling fans in the 50 degrees heat of May. I will be visiting every house in Cubert and Holywell with a bookmark
business card and ask hopefully for £1.00 donation to raise the £824.00 needed to pay this bill.
I am sure you will all help to give a chance to 22 beautiful, talented, loving children. A chance to have a home,
education, food and above all – love. And electricity!
Our goal is to give all these children an incredible opportunity in life; their education will include horticulture, animal
husbandry, carpentry, tailoring, cooking, and music. With every 'holiday' we take over there we encourage another
life skill. Over here many people take all this for granted, with children even missing school. Over there learning to
read and write is the pathway to literacy and a step out of poverty.
I'm writing “The Hope of Balu”, a true life story, nearly finished, about our project in India. There's not space to say
here what we've been doing, but to find out more glance at the photos on our Facebook page (see below) and you
will see.
Many people ask 'How can I help?' And I answer; 'Go and see, go and share. Please, help these children to achieve
their potential.' If you want to go, contact me. If you want to help but can't go then we'll talk, and I'll show you the
new children's home down there in Vijayawada on Google Earth!
SGCH is only a drop in the ocean. There are thousands of poor illiterate Dalit children on the streets of India. But like
the dying starfish who was flung back in the sea, you can make a difference to “one”. Thank you.

JUBILEE CLOSE
I share the concerns expressed by many readers about how important it is to keep our village tidy, as many of us
have a great deal of pride in our community. I am a resident of Jubilee Close and for many years I have, from time
to time, approached Poltair homes (the original developer of the site) and reminded them about keeping the
area of waste land at the entrance to the Close (opposite the Youth Park) in a tidy state.
This area was originally fenced off with some wooden fencing and has been more or less been left by Poltair for
many years. From time to time they have repaired the broken fences and had a general tidy up, however in
recent months this piece of land has been looking more and more untidy. It certainly does not give a good
impression to visitors to the Village or the Close.
I last contacted the Director of Poltair Homes in April and received an e mail confirming that he would check with
his landscaping Team to see if anything could be done. I am disappointed to report that since this inItial e-mail,
Poltair have not replied to any follow up e mail from me and it seems therefore that Poltair will not be taking any
responsibility for upkeep going forward.

Damage to Natural Habitat
Recently some very unwelcome swings, wood and rubbish have appeared at Ellenglaze, alongside the river bank.
To these adults who have bolted and screwed through trees, which have grown there for years, I would like to
point out to you that there are two parks in Cubert and others in Holywell for your children to use as well as one of
Cornwall’s finest beaches for them to play on.
I’m sure Mr Coad, who spent many months clearing the river and surrounding area, to prevent flooding, would not
be impressed with the size of wood planks and crates floating in the river or that the footpath association, who
spend their time keeping the footpath clear for all of us and the visitors to enjoy, appreciate the rubbish and string
left around.
Ellenglaze is a place of natural beauty and wildlife; foxes, rabbits, fish, ducks, deer, variety of birds etc etc The
effects of this rubbish and intrusion could be fatal to many.
Please therefore value and respect the countryside and
environment you are so privileged to live in and amuse your
children in the appropriate parks put there for that purpose
or your own back gardens and leave natural habitats alone.
Thank you
Lynda (a lifetime local, whose childhood was full of fun in
Cubert, without damaging the countryside who appreciates
the area of beauty we live in)

PROPOSALS ON DISPLAY
Proposals for the redevelopment of the former army training camp at Penhale have moved forward
since the well-attended public exhibition in Cubert on 25 March. Comparo Limited, owner of the site, is
inviting residents and all interested in its future to view and discuss the plans at a display in Cubert
Village Hall on Tuesday 9 June from 2.30 to 6pm.
“We have noted the comments from the exhibition, met organisations such as the National Trust,
Natural England, Cornwall Wildlife Trust and South
West Water and will be ready with more-detailed
plans in early June,” said Jill Parkinson of Comparo.
The Penhale development team has also discussed
the proposals with councillors from Cubert Parish
Council and Perranzabuloe Parish Council. “In March
they had concerns about the impact on local
infrastructure, safeguarding the natural environment
and, particularly, traffic and queuing for the NT car
park in summer,” Jill said. “Our preliminary plan in
March showed that we are restoring part of site to
protected open land. And we are working with the
local and national organisations to find and agree
solutions to other issues.”

CRANTOCK MEMORY CAFE
26
This month we were transported back to the 1950s for an afternoon of music and memories!
A ‘trivia quiz’ on that era invited our members’ memories of those times and led to much chatter and
laughter – talk of schooldays, first jobs, holidays, fashion and many other topics brought the decade to
life, especially when photographs of some of our members and helpers taken at that time were
passed around.
Everyone joined in the ‘singalong’ sessions, before and after a suitably 1950s tea break which
included a cheese and pineapple ‘hedgehog’ and sausages on sticks (very trendy at the time!). Music
included songs by the stars of the day – Elvis, Cliff, Bill Haley, Ruby Murray, Alma Cogan and the
Beverley Sisters, and of course we all remembered the words!
With a bit of tuition we attempted a hand jive and gave a performance to the accompaniment of
‘Peggy Sue’ by Buddy Holly - a song from 1958.
Along with our usual fascinating selection of books, our display boards and puzzles the afternoon
passed quickly and proved to be a great success.
Our next meeting takes place on Monday 1st June from 2pm to 4pm at Crantock Village Hall. This will
be followed up by an additional session on the third Monday of the month, i.e. Monday 15 th June at
the same time and venue. This is a direct response to our members’ request that we meet more often
and we are delighted to provide another afternoon of social activities.
We are always pleased to welcome new members so should you need further information about our
Memory Cafe please contact Di on 01637 830544 or Joan on 01637 831347 or visit our website

YOUR COUNCILLOR WRITES
27
Hi everybody
Aren’t the months going quickly; already half way through the year. The first thing I wanted to mention
is an update of a meeting I mentioned last time regarding the A3075 and Cubert Crossroads. I am
thrilled to say, after meeting with Head of Planning and Head of Transport and highways officers, it has
been recognised it is an area of local concern. Subsequently, they have committed to produce a
number of design options which will then go out to public consultation, hopefully in the Autumn.
This is a positive first step that I have been pushing for a long time. It is important to note that at this
stage there is no budget to deliver a scheme, but once we have a preferred design, we will be working
to secure funding to deliver it. This is a long term project but rather than have a series of quick fixes, I
am keen to secure funding to deliver a more comprehensive solution.
At the last Full Council meeting it was agreed to support the application for a Case for Cornwall. This
aims to lobby for greater devolution of powers from Westminster to Cornwall so we can make more
localised decisions on some of the key infrastructure needs for Cornwall. This will include issues such
as transport, housing, health & social care and education. There will be a series of information events
about Case for Cornwall plus there will be a public consultation. The dates for the information events
are:
Penzance – 27th May, 6.30pm, Penzance One Stop Shop
Liskeard – 28th May, 6.30pm, Luxstowe House, Liskeard
Truro - 1st June , 6.30pm, New County Hall, Truro
Bude – 3rd June, 6.30pm, Falcon Hotel, Bude
Concerns have been raised about proposed changes to Trevemper roundabout. As Cornwall Councillor
I feel this should have been the subject of public consultation as a highways scheme, rather than being
development led. I am meeting with senior officers and it is my intention to try and secure agreement
for this to go out to public consultation. Whether they will agree or not I don’t know.
Until next time, have a good month. Best wishes
Lisa
