Since last month’s edition life hasbecome dramatically different for us all.No doubt many people will be followingthe government’s guidance with regardto social distancing and self isolation.We hope that everyone keeps safe andwell through this exceptional time.Throughout this edition - including inadverts - there is plenty of informationabout what is (and isn’t) going on locallywhich hopefully will be of assistance toyou all. In these fast moving times bythe time you receive the Gazette thingsmay have moved on and changed evenmore.We will be relying heavily on our localservices for support and there is alreadystrong evidence of our fantasticcommunity spirit kicking in to action.Remember a lot of vulnerable peopledon’t have access to Face Book soletting an elderly neighbour know what’savailable locally will be invaluable.Happily it seems that this is alreadyhappening.I have it on good authority that there aresome teenage boys who are happy tohelp with dog walking etc for those whoare experiencing difficulties. ContactThe Store for further details if needed.The Parish Council have had to cancelthe VE Day celebrations planned for 9th

May which had promised to be afabulous evening. You will see frompage 3 that most other events have alsobeen cancelled.

RUANMINOR CARNIVAL 2020As I’m sure some you have heard, the Rec commi�ee is hoping to bring back the muchloved Ruan Minor Carnival. Steve Collins and Sarah Legge have been gathering photosof carnivals gone by and have been gauging interest in reviving this event. Many of us(includingmyself) have fondmemoriesofdressinguponhot summer’sdaysandparadingaround the recrea�on ground and village and would very much like to see the carnival’sreturn. Planning is s�ll in the early stages. However, no doubt there will be a tradi�onalcarnival queen and prizes for the best costumes. There is also talk of organising a bandfor the evening to keep the fes�vi�es going into the night. A carnival sub-commi�ee isin the process of being formed to organise the event. If you are interested in helping,please contact Steve (01326 290764 or [email protected]) or myself (07790166751or [email protected]).

The proposed date (coronavirus permi�ng) is SUNDAY 26TH JULY so that we can startthe summer holidays off with a bang! Watch this space for updates.

Into April and the Easter holidays are upon us. In light of thecurrent situa�on we find ourselves in, our doors will beclosed un�l we are instructed otherwise. We understand thepressure this causes to our parents and endeavour to re-open as soon as we are allowed to. In the mean�me, we willpost links to websites and post ac�vity ideas on our facebookpage to help keep the children entertained and busy.

Our Spo�y Run for Sports Relief raised almost £100. The children ran as fast as they couldacross the Rec withWylfryd being crowned ‘runner of the day’, his li�le legs ran from startto finish all the while with a big smile across his face. The children have also been busycrea�ng beau�ful crea�ons for Mother’s Day and had created some wonderfullydecorated floral pictures for the Spring Show.

As many are aware we had our Ofsted Inspec�on on Wednesday 4th March. It is always anervous �me when they visit, even though you know you are doing everything youshould! The day went very well and our Inspector, Carly, was a lovely lady. As I write thereport hasn’t yet been officially published by Ofsted so we cannot tell you our result-wewill update as soon as we are able to!

We wish everyone well, stay safe, remember to look out for each other and support eachother where you can. Remember it is also OK to ask for help or some support. We miss allof our children greatly and hope that some form of normality returns soon.

Julie and Mark Oldfield adoptThora from Soi Dog Foundation

Julie and Mark Oldfield have res-cued this Collie after visiting SoiDog Foundation in Thailand lastJune.They decided to adopt Thora,who was buried alive in a rubbishdump with her brother as apuppy. The foundation managedto save them but it has left Thorablind and with some braindamage.They had originally chosen to

adopt a German Shepherd, but sadly he died. Julie explained: "Whilst we werethere helping with some of the dogs rescued from the meat trade and off thestreets, we met Fanumpa. He had been hit by a car as a puppy on the dangerousPhuket streets, leaving him unable to use his hind legs. A fund was set up and alovely couple who were visiting the shelter donated the money to buy him awheelchair. After we went home I kept thinking about Fanumpa and receivedupdates of how he was racing around in his new wheel chair. We decided to adopthim as we felt he would benefit from having his own home and lots of open spaceshere in Cadgwith.”Sadly however, whilst preparing him for his flight, it was discovered that he wassuffering from heart failure which meant that he couldn’t fly anywhere. Julie andMark were really disappointed as they had fallen in love with his cheeky character.Happily he was to be fostered locally in Thailand but he never made it to his fosterhome as he died shortly after.They then came across Thora whose terrible story "just stole our hearts", saidJulie. Her brother was adopted as a puppy and Thora has been waiting ever since.She flew over on the 21st March with five other lucky dogs, chaperoned by a flightvolunteer.The Soi Dog Foundation was set up by an English couple, John and Gill Dalleyseveral years ago and it is now a world class animal hospital and shelter wheremany vets go to train.If you would like to help towards the cost of Thora’s flight, you can send donationsto Julie Oldfield's account No; 25264346, sort code 07-04-36.If you’re interested in sponsoring or adopting a dog or cat, you can visitwww.soidog.org. The foundation’s main aim has been to control dog populationsby neutering and vaccinating as many as possible, with the animals then returnedto where they came from.

Rector’s Ramblings

The Church during Coronavirus

As I write this, the Archbishops of Canterbury and York have just issueda directive that all church services are to be suspended for the timebeing. This is in accordance with the directives from both the

Government and the NHS.Whilst it is impossible to predict what further restrictions may be

required as we all respond to the Coronavirus, the churches’ doors willremain open. Jesus has promised never to leave or forsake us, andpromises his presence especially in the valley of the shadow of death.Therefore:

� All our church buildings will remain open during the day – youare welcome to come in and pray, or just be in God’s presence. Pleaseobserve your own hygiene protection as you do so and give anyone else whois there safe space.� Whilst many may need to self-isolate, there is no need foranyone to feel alone. Many people are offering help in our communities andthe church family is also there for conversation or practical help (egshopping). But there is always someone who feels left out. If you knowsomeone in this position, please let us know – and speak to them yourself.� Even though we are no longer allowed to hold services, Churchwill continue: in our own prayers and Bible reading; in acts of service andlove; and in the comfort of faith.

1 God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble. 2

Therefore we will not fear, though the earth give way and the mountainsfall into the heart of the sea, 3 though its waters roar and foam and themountains quake with their surging. Selah 4 There is a river whose streamsmake glad the city of God, the holy place where the Most High dwells. 5

God is within her, she will not fall; God will help her at break of day. (Psalm46:1-5)

Yours in Christ

The 100 or so miles of Cornish coastline and waters from Falmouth toNewlyn are served by three RNLI Lifeboat Stations; Falmouth, Lizard andPenlee. Each of these locations has its own range of different activitieshappening throughout the year and, therefore, each has its own allocation oflifeboats and crews to enable them to deliver the nature of support theycould be called upon to provide at any time.

Falmouth Town Harbour has a myriad of boat traffic of all shapes and sizesusing its waters on a daily basis and larger commercial and naval trafficcarries with it additional issues. Penlee Lifeboat is based at Newlyn whichprovides a base for a significant fishing industry and with nearby PenzanceHarbour and Mounts Bay leisure and recreation usage they are certainly keptbusy. The waters around the Lizard provide ample opportunity for the ‘local’inshore fishing fleet to ply its trade.

The Lizard Lifeboat is perfectly placed to support this activity and also to beavailable when needed to assist the leisure and recreation usage of the localwaters and coastline which, whilst all year round (subject to weatherconditions), is majorly from Easter to the end of October.

Over the years different classes of RNLI Lifeboats have been designed andbuilt to satisfy different needs and conditions and, of course, to take onboard technological development. The largest boat in the RNLI fleet is the‘Severn Class’ and both Falmouth and Penlee, because of the type of dutiesthey are called upon to perform, have one of these allocated as their StationALB (All Weather Lifeboat). Both of these boats are moored afloat at theirstations.

The second largest boat in the fleet is the ‘Tamar Class’ which was designedto provide similar operational facilities to the ‘Severn Class’ but with theaddition, amongst other things, of protected propellers in order to enableslipway launching and work in shallow waters. Our own ALB, ‘RNLB ROSE’,is one of the 27 Tamar Class boats currently operating in the RNLI fleet.

The basic ‘vital statistics’ of these two boats are as follows

THE LIZARD LIFEBOATVISITOR CENTRE NEWS

In view of the high level of in-shore activity the stations are required tosupport, both the Falmouth and Penlee Stations are also allocated a fastresponse Atlantic 85 boat. The Atlantics are 8.44 metres rigid inflatables andhave a top working speed of 35 knots. They operate with a crew of 4 and cancarry a passenger load of 24 persons. For close contact work on the water,RNLB ROSE carries a 3metre ‘Y-Boat’ in a recessed chamber within its sternsection. The Y-Boat has a crew of 2 and is powered by a 15hp ‘Mariner’outboard engine.

The RNLI takes its responsibilities on this issue extremely seriously andimmediately implemented its own specific measures in order to comply withgovernment guidelines.

Until further notice, all RNLI stations must be closed to all but operationalpersonnel and only operationally essential activities should be undertaken.

Of major significance to the Lizard Lifeboat Visitor Centre is that,with immediate effect, all RNLI Visitor Centres, Shops andMuseums MUST CLOSE UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE.

This is a most regrettable action but I am sure you will agree that it is of theutmost necessity. The matter will be kept under priority review and furtherinformation will be announced when appropriate.

Thank you very much for your support.

Friends of Kennack SandsKennack Sands monthly beach clean welcomed 7 volunteers in March. Thank youfor your support!Please join us for our monthly beach clean in April and/or do a two minute beachclean next time you visit our beautiful beach. With Easter approaching and,hopefully with the weather improving you can do your bit to help by picking up anylitter you come across, picking up after your dog and not leaving cigarette butts onthe beach. If you visit for a picnic please use reusable containers and take your rubbish homewith you. Cleaning the beach improves the ecosystems on the coast and in thesea, that one piece of rope can no longer entangle a marine animal or the dogwaste and plastics you removed can no longer pollute the coastal environment.This month we have collected just over 4 black bags of waste and recycling. Thisincludes: small plastics, broken glass, 5 gallon plastic container, part of a boat and,as usual lots of dog waste!

The next beach clean is on SUNDAY 5TH APRILALL WELCOME!

CORONAVIRUS:Based on current advice, we haveconsidered how we are going to run thePavilion for the next month (or two...).Of course, there are new announce-ments from the Government daily - sosome of this may be changed by thetime this magazine is published!We will continue to open the Bar onFriday evenings between 5 and 8pm foras long as there is a demand. Of course,if there is an escalation in Governmentadvice to avoid pubs and clubs to a banon opening, we will have to comply.Whilst we are open, we will takepractical steps to reduce the risks toboth volunteer staff and customers.All other regular activities have nowbeen cancelled by their organisers - theremaining football league matches,euchre, darts and yoga classes allcancelled.We are cancelling all party bookings forApril (fortunately there is only one), andwill review the situation again beforeMay. At the moment we are notcancelling the May Festival, butanticipate that to be a real possibility.We hope that by the Summer, thesituation will have begun to improve, sowe will continue to plan fund-raisingevents including band bookings,Cadgwith BBQs and the Carnival - butobviously we will keep this under review.

We have enough funds to (just-about)cover our fixed outgoings (gas,electricity, water, phone, insurance, etc.)for 2 to 3 months. If we have to close,we can switch off heating (we would bedoing that soon anyway) and coolingsystems - which will save money in thelonger term, but the electricity is on a"budget" account with fixed monthlypayment, and the gas usually getsrefilled in the Summer (whether we wantit or not!).There are difficult times ahead, but I'msure we'll pull through. There's plenty ofbusinesses in a worse position than us,and many people with real fears for theirhealth, even their lives. I wish you all thebest of health and hope to see you allagain soon, when it's all over.On a more positive note, we haveorganised a work party (and a lorry-loadof stone) to sort out the potholes in thedriveway and parking area. This willhave been done by the time you readthis - with grateful thanks to StephenGreen (again!) for the loan of a digger.Many thanks for your continuingsupport,

The world is a fast changing place these days and the way we go about our dailybusiness is having to change because of this corona virus sweeping through our world. AsI pen this ar�cle we have lost our Spring Flower Show for this year and are unsure whatcommunity events will take place over the comingmonths. But one constant is the gardenthis will be something that you can con�nue with if you are well enough, even if you areself-isola�ng or self-distancing, as you are unlikely to be in close proximity tomany peoplein your own garden. But who knows in this ever changing world, see what is happening inFrance.

A group of shrubs that may need some pruning around now are those whichflowered this spring, things like the flowering currants Ribes spp and Forsythia. These youcut out a third of the old wood once again when the shrub is mature and at the size yourequire if they are too big and over grown cut them back hard but youmay lose the flowerfor one year but doing it now gives the most chance of flowers in twelve months’ �me.Also finish off the pruning of the Hydrangeas for the classic mop heads and lace caps just�dy up the old dead flower stalks and maybe remove a few of the very oldest brancheswith the aim of gradually rejuvena�ng the bush.

In your borders you will have already have done your weeding, but have yougiven the beds a generous dressing of a slow release fer�liser such as fish, blood andbone. Also pu�ng a layer of mulch around now supresses anymore weed and traps in themoisture from the winter rains.

While you are po�ering in the borders now is a good �me to start ge�ng somestaking in around your herbaceous plants, as the proverb says - a s�tch in �me savesnine. If you get the stakes in early they are quickly covered up and the plants do not flop,plants rarely look right if they are staked a�er they have flopped also they can collapse onother plants and in the worst cases kill them by smothering and blocking out the light.

Also whilst you have the fer�liser to hand give a generous dose to your daffodilsof which most will have finished flowering now. I know the strappy leaves on these lookun�dy but do not do anything to them for at least six weeks even be�er to let them turnyellow and start to be eaten. Do not trim them back or �e them in knots as was done in�mes gone by. They need to be able to photosynthesise to put energy back into the bulbso that it will flower well next year.

Down in the veg patch there is much to do, sowing and plan�ng comes on fastfrom now on. It is �me to plant out your main crop potatoes, sow carrots and parsnips,and get the onion sets in. It has been such a long wet winter that I expect you are well

behind in this area of the garden. There is the saving grace that o�en the later sown cropswill catch up, I have several things to plant out which I brought on in the greenhouse likele�uce cabbage and beetroot.

The greenhouse has loads of things to do but I expect you will be thinking aboutplan�ng out tomato plants. This can generally be done from the middle of April withouttoo much trouble. Prepare the ground well and if you are using pots or bags be verygenerous with the amount of compost you give them because they are hungry, thirstyplants and a good root run will reduce the effect of these problems.

In the greenhouse now is the right �me to sow the quick growing half hardy annualslike French and African Marigolds and Asters. Also keep sowing hardy annuals in smallpots or modules just to fill any gaps which may appear in your garden. April is generally amad month for pricking out seedlings which you sowed in March this needs to be done toget good strong stocky plants. You use compost with more nutrients and give the plantmore space.

With your lawns you should be able to start thinking about lowering the bladeson the mower and now they are ac�vely growing away you can decide whether you wishto use a weed and feed product of your choice. Looking around a�er such wet �mes mossseems a problem this year so something to kill the moss and then scarify the lawn toremove it may well be a necessity. This needs to be done to stop the grass from beings�fled.

I am off to get the sweet peas planted out, keep well and enjoy your gardening.

None.224/19 Public Participation.The Public were permitted to participate in the following agenda item.225/19 Principles of Safeguarding Fishing CellarsThe context of this agenda item is that the Council formed a working group in April2019 to investigate and enter discussions with other parties with the view ofobtaining information which will inform discussion and decision at future Councilmeetings on the level of Council involvement thought to be desirable in safe-guarding or purchasing buildings related to the fishing industry in Cadgwith. Keyquestions were: is the fishing industry at risk if the cellars are sold?; if so, whatshould be done about it by the fishing community and by the Parish Council? TheCouncil has discussed in private sessions of Council meetings (due to the confid-ential nature of valuations, personal data and so on), and has commissioned,received and analysed structural surveys for all three buildings (Fort York,Steamers and the Winch House) and valuations for two buildings (Fort York andthe Winch House). The working group (Cllrs Freeman and Green) have beenundertaking discussions with representatives of the fishing industry and currentbuilding owners. This is the first time the Council has formally discussed the matterin the public session of a Council meeting and this may form part of a series ofpublic consultations used to ascertain the most desirable course of action.DISCUSSED as above including the following points:

Cont....

52

● Listed status and covenant of Winch House – Is there a threat that use by thefishing industry can be removed, and if not, why the need for the Council toinvestigate purchasing?● Identifying if the buildings are for sale, and the level of negotiation the Councilhas had with current owners.● Cold Store: could the Council purchase and secure this separately?● Should the Council consider all three buildings together, or prioritise one overthe others?● Suggestion of putting a covenant on Fort York (for use by fishing industry). Isthe same for Steamers desirable?● Would fishing really stop if ownership of buildings changed from one privatelandlord to another?● Time limits, pressure on the Council to purchase.● Grants – what may be on offer for purchasing, and what may be on offer forrefurbishing after purchasing.● Public Works Loans to fund purchasing – potential impact on the precept andCouncil budgets.● Management and maintenance matters – the Council could conceivablypurchase buildings but not manage them. Would an existing or new Trust do this?Parallels with the Community Trust and public toilets and car parks● The Council would seek to ensure it has general public support before takingany course of action.● Liabilities, renovations, administration and finance if the Council were topurchase● If direct purchase doesn't proceed, how best can the Council facilitate?Confidential matters were discussed in the later private session of the meeting.The item will return to the normal Council meeting agenda on 9th March andfurther public consultation will be considered.226/19 Martha’s Acre land management update
