"It's my first time back but I'm really looking forward to it", Stephen Garrard told me on a packed ferry across to Caen. One of four veterans on the boat, our conversation is interrupted at regular intervals as other passengers shake Stephen's hand or ask to have their photo taken with him. He takes it all in good and modest humour - a salute every now and again for younger inquisitors. "Before the war, I worked at Woolworths but when war was declared I tried to join the Navy. I passed all the tests but failed the medical on account of my teeth. Apparently, I didn't have enough!" We both laugh. "So I joined the Army instead!" After months of working in logistics, Stephen's regular requests for a formal transfer to operations were finally answered and he was sent for training near Salisbury. He volunteered for the Glider Pilot programme and spent time between formal combat training and the basics of learning to fly. TREETOPS INN THE INN OFF THE GREEN Opening times 6:30pm - 11:00pm BEER GARDEN POOL DARTS SPECIAL OFFERS ON ALCOHOL ALL SPORTS EVENTS SHOWN WATCH THE PREMIERSHIP AT TREETOPS SUPPORTERS OF WSM FC THE HOME OF FOOTBALL IN WSM Rural Beat Manager TBA "We started in Tiger Moths before moving onto gliders - which gradually got bigger and heavier", Stephen tells me. "All the time we were also training for combat - there are no passengers in the Airborne!" Stephen landed in the second wave on D-Day and fought throughout the campaign. He later fought at Arnhem where his co-pilot was killed. He was wounded and captured. After nine months in captivity, including a forced march from Poland to Germany, Stephen finally returned home. Seventy years ago, while holding Pegasus Bridge, Stephen turned 22. On Saturday, he will mark his 92nd birthday at Ranville on a private visit to the CWGC cemetery there. "I'm so grateful for the work that the Commission does. You look after my comrades so well." Stephen tells me. Surely there can be no higher praise 2 PCSO30572 Sarah Ross 01288 - 357502 [email protected] To report a crime telephone number 101 To give anonymous information Crimestoppers 0800 - 555111 27 Forthcoming Events Saturday 26th - Monday 28th July WW1 Exhibition St Mary’s Church see p1 Hirst Construction Limited NEATE FEET Street Works Accredited Septic Tank Installation & Emptying Licensed Waste Carrier MOBILE FOOT HEALTH PRACTITIONERS 07870 508867 / 07968 232344 Saturday 2nd August Safari Supper Friday 8th August Bingo Saturday 20th September Revel Sunday 21st September Revel Service Monday 22nd September Harvest Supper and Auction Friday 12th December Mulled Wine Evening Digger & Plant Machinery Free Estimates Toenail clipping, Callus Removal, Paddings & Dressings, Verrucaes, everything you need to keep your feet in tip top condition.

Next year is the Centenary of the start of the WI, and celebrations are being planned throughout the country. The Week St Mary WI is joining forces with the Bude WI to plan our own local celebrations - so watch this space! The afternoon tea at the Farm Shop was excellent, and much enjoyed. We should have gone for a walk, and enjoyed the beautiful views, but were too full of sandwiches, homemade cake, and enormous jam and cream scones. Next month is our annual garden party. Our members are excellent cake bakers, and at this rate we will need to start a slimming club! You are welcome to join us; for more details phone Sue Dyer (341083) or Judy Hepper (341500).

COUNTY COUNCILLOR Mrs N CHOPAK updated the council on some County matters including: due to lack of resources there are no plans to implement better recycling for plastic; she is in regular contact with CC Highways Manager about potholes and road defects and although the mobile library consultation is ongoing, one option which is gaining favour is keeping 1 van to cover the whole of the county rather than scrapping them all. DISCUSS HAVING A WIND TURBINE PARISH POLICY - it was agreed to await the results of the Good Energy Wind Turbines planning application. PLACE NAME FOR CHURCH MEWS - CC has agreed to order a sign. POOR STATE OF ROAD BETWEEN THE SQUARE AND THE CHURCH GATE – C Cllr N Chopak offered to speak to CC for clarification about maintenance responsibility.

C Cllr N Chopak was in attendance, no other members of the public were present. The following matters were discussed: DECLARATIONS OF INTEREST were noted and no requests for dispensations were received. MATTERS ARISING – The exact location of the holding tanks at Ashbury Grove remains in question and the Clerk will contact Pearce Construction for information. A Holsworthy Hamlets councillor is co-ordinating a community response relating to the threat of bed closures in Holsworthy Hospital. As a result of the news that Devon Healthcare are planning to close wards throughout the county, the Clerk will write to oppose the cuts. No response received from the Police Commissioner about plans to reduce police stations and the long time ‘on-hold’ when calling the non-emergency telephone number 101. The Clerk will write to the Police Chief Constable, the MP and the Home Office expressing deep concern about news that police officers from Devon and Cornwall will be seconded for neutral aid duties and planned further cuts to police officers.

PA14/04417 - Works to tree in Conservation Area - namely fell one sycamore (T1) Wentworth I would like to record my appreciation for the help that was so willingly given by so many last week when I asked for a little assistance towards maintaining the churchyard until our regular arrangements could resume. The amount of effort put in by so many was truly humbling and although I think I know who they all were, no-one that had not been particularly asked, announced their intention to help so I am unwilling to list names here in case I miss some of those. 16 13 All I can say is THANK YOU everyone. We are now able to get back on track with regular cutting - which is still done by a very willing volunteer - weather and having a private life, permitting. I would however, like also to say to all those who constantly worry about the length of the grass (and the appearance of beautiful flowers amongst it for the first time in 20 or more years) that the church takes its responsibility to maintain its churchyard very seriously - in fact of course it is also a massive expense which is paid by voluntary contributions organised by the Friends group. (Please see Sue Dyer if you would like to contribute) We strive to keep the grass under control but any concerns you have should be addressed to the churchwardens direct who will be pleased to reassure you that the work WILL BE DONE when possible. Our grass cutting warden will also be very happy if anyone wants to help or just quietly turn up and do some of the fiddly bits to help him on his way. The job takes a minimum of three days each month for one man and you can see that just a fortnight's bad weather and a few days away from home makes this task even greater. In reply to those who ask why we do not get a contract grass cutter in - the last quote we had was two years ago for £450 a cut. Enough said I think.
