Ssshhh!!!
New PUBLIC LIBRARY
While most Councils
throughout the land are
reducing their libraries
Pillaton Parish Council
has just created one. Yes,
the Pillaton Library is now
opened thanks to the efforts
of Dave Dolley for painting
and Gary Martin and Roger
Warne for supplying the
materials and building the
shelves, all at no cost to the
Parish. The library is open
day and night every day of
the week, a true 24/7.
The library is situated in
the distinctive red telephone
box next to the Village notice
boards. Any one is welcome
to borrow or donate a book
and to enjoy the new facility.
Please keep quiet in the
library!
Pillaton Village News
No. 165 May 2013
It is with great sadness that I record the death of Delcia
Miles who passed away on 12 April aged 81. With Pillaton Church closed for
repairs, her funeral took place in St Mellion on 22 April and was well attended
by family and friends together with many associates from her days at Saltash
Community School and the Guild of Embroiderers.
For nearly 25 years Delcia was the mainstay of the Pillaton Village News,
having set it up it in 1986 and before finally stepping down as editor in 2011.
As I have commented previously production of the newsletter in the early
days was far more labour intensive, with all the copy having to be typed up
on a manual typewriter before
being laboriously duplicated on a
messy gestetner machine. Without
Delcia’s hard work and dedication
the Village News could never have
succeeded. It continues, hopefully,
to keep readers informed and
Delcia’s legacy is still, in the words
of Arthur Daley, ‘a nice little earner,’
having raised through advertising
just over £500 for village funds in
the last financial year.
Besides her work as editor, Delcia
also put her embroidery skills
to good use and made several
generous presentations to St
Odulph’s Church in the form of wall
hangings, an altar frontal and copes
to be worn by the Minister. She
was also Parish Clerk for a number
of years. Over the years Delcia
contributed much to the life of
Pillaton and will be sadly missed.
Next copy date is 1 July 2013 - full

CHURCH RENEWAL
A milestone in the renewal of our church has been reached with the
completion of the scaffolding around the tower, all 70 tons of it, and a
platform constructed above the level of the pinnacles in a 'room' of cladding.
This has enabled the last of the damaged masonry to be removed to the
stonemason's yard and the restoration of the damaged areas, including the
roof of the tower, can now begin. There are several more layers of stone
that have to be stabilised before the restoration of the actual pinnacle
commences, but this marks ‘the end of the beginning.’ The lead has been
stripped from one side of the roof and the oak underneath repaired and
replaced as necessary.
All concerned are aware that the work to restore the tower and remove the
scaffolding has the highest priority at many levels; the cost of the scaffolding,
the aesthetics, the noise of the cladding in the wind and, most important of
all, the requirement to get the bells ringing again. We are looking at a couple
of months.
Work to make good the main hole in the nave roof is also well underway and,
now uncovered, it is revealing some most interesting medieval construction.
In this area, the walls have been stabilised and the 14th century oak roof
exposed. The wood itself is very important architecturally, full of character
and wormholes (all dead I have been assured) and each timber has been
individually assessed to preserve every bit that can be saved. Then the work
moves inside - hopefully before the autumn weather starts to bite.
Fundraising is now gaining momentum and the money will be used in
the first instance for essential ‘non-insurance’ works revealed by the
reconstruction. The architects and the main contractor, AD Williams, are
working positively at every juncture to keep the church funded jobs as small
as possible, but they will make our church sound again for another few
hundred years. Once closer to the end of the surveying work, we will be in a
better position to see where we stand.

PILLATON CHURCH DISASTER FUND NEWS
For anyone wishing to make a donation to the Pillaton Church Disaster Fund a
dedicated internet link has now been established on the Just Giving Website at
www.justgiving.com/stmellionwithpillatonpcc
Another related link, http://www.justgiving.com/Bethany-Skinnard will take
you to Bethany Skinnard’s Plymouth Half Marathon Appeal Page where they
can donate relative to Bethany’s Sponsorship Appeal for the Church. Bethany
was keen to raise funds on behalf of the church because it had played such a
great part in her father’s life. She ran the Plymouth Half Marathon on April
28 and her time was a very creditable 1 hour and 37 minutes. So far she has
managed to raise an incredible £1,046.50 for the Disaster Fund.
Shelagh Skinnard is holding a Charity Lunch from 12.30 pm on Thursday 23
May. Usual stalls, cakes, bring and buy and 50/50 clothing rail (bring your
mistakes!) plus raffle. £12 per person to include a glass of wine. All proceeds
will go in aid of the Pillaton Church Disaster Fund. Contact Shelagh on 350277
if you are able to attend as numbers are limited.
The Disaster Fund now stands in excess of £2,000 with £650 recently coming
from the Seven Last Words concert held at Calstock on Good Friday.

The Annual General Meeting took place in the Village Hall on Monday 15
April at 7.30 pm. Amongst the items raised was a problem with the floor. At
the moment this is being investigated by the Insurance Surveyor.
Sue White gave details of a possible grant being available for the replacement
of the windows of the Village Hall. The idea is to replace them with the same
style windows, but to be double glazed. Three quotations would be required.
All organizations, as stated by us, using the Village Hall on a regular basis
to submit a signed letter supporting the application for the funding of new
windows.
The Chairman thanked the Committee for their support throughout the past
year, and thanks in particular to Shirley Floyd for her fund raising for a new
cooker, and to Sue White, assisted by Anne Henderson for the splendid fund
raising events of the past year.

PILLATON SKITTLES LEAGUE 2012/2013
The Skittles League for 2012/2013 ‘kicked off ’ at the beginning of November
with the arrival of a new team called ‘The Mavericks’ under the captaincy of
Shirley Floyd. This team was made up of some players from The Gargoyles and
The Quasimodos. The Dare Devils welcomed some new members to their team
Mike Keay, Darren Witton , Carol & Steve Bligh. They said ‘goodbye’ to Roy &
Audrey Levack who have moved on to pastures new.
This year we played with a new Skittle Alley, skittles and balls obtained through
lottery funding. The Dare Devils took an early lead playing there two games in
November. The winners last year The Hillbillies were slow starters until they
played there two games in March when they moved from fifth to third place.
The Knackered Monks kept a steady second place throughout and were pleased
to welcome Helen Mace to the team. The Wild Indians under the Captaincy
of Helen Edwards also kept a steady pace throughout and were helped out by
several of the husbands of WI members taking a turn. The Mavericks were
doing well in third place until the last evening, it must have been something to
do with the chicken tikka slices!
The Presentation Night took place on Saturday 20th April and was attended by
39 people. The meal was cooked and served by Shirley Floyd and was as always
enjoyed by all.
Apart from the prizes of wine for the First and Second Teams, additional prizes
of wine were given:
Best three ball score of 18 pins in one game:
Men – Darren Witton, Gary Sims, and John Wheeley
Ladies – Carole Hosken
Best game score was Ken Beal scoring 38 and Marie Sims for the ladies with 43.
Top of the averages was Mike Keay on 9.2 and Julie Bazeley with 8.7
Two teams shared the Wooden Spoon – The Mavericks and The Wild Indians. This
is the first time this has happened since the League started.
During the evening we held a ‘Musical Quiz’ which was organised by Len. We
reached a tie break situation between the Dare Devils and the Wild Indians each
scoring 26 points and the tie break question was won by the Wild Indians who
each received a chocolate rabbit as a prize.
If anybody would like the occasional game of skittles, sometimes a team could
be short of players or if there is anybody ‘out there’ who would like to put a
team in the league please let either Len or Sue know on (01579) 350065.

Keeping your dog under control
It has been brought to the attention of the Parish Council that there have been a
number of attacks by dogs on other dogs. This has happened where the Owner
of the attacking dog has not had their dog under control.
To clarify the current position we must point out that it is against the law to let
a dog be dangerously out of control:
• In a public place.
• In a private place where the dog isn’t allowed to be (e.g. a neighbour’s
house or garden without permission).
The law applies to all dogs.
Your dog is considered dangerously out of control if it:
• Injures someone.
• Makes someone worried that it might injure them.
A court could also decide that your dog is dangerously out of control if:
• It injures someone’s animal
• The owner of the animal thinks they could be injured if they tried to
stop your dog attacking their animal.
A farmer is allowed to kill your dog if it’s worrying their livestock.
Penalties
You can be fined up to £5,000 and/or sent to prison for up to 6 months if your dog
is out of control. You may also not be allowed to own a dog in the future.
If you let your dog injure someone, you can be sent to prison for up to 2 years
and/or fined.
If you deliberately use your dog to injure someone you could be charged with
‘malicious wounding’. The maximum penalty is 5 years in prison.
Dog Control Orders
Local councils in England and Wales can issue Dog Control Orders (DCOs).
These mean that in public areas with DCOs, you may have to:
• Keep your dog on a lead
• Put your dog on a lead if told to by a police officer, police community
support officer or someone from the council
• Stop your dog going in certain places - like farmland or parts of a park
• Limit the number of dogs you have with you (this applies to
professional dog walkers too).
• Clear up after your dog.
16
DCOs don’t apply to private land if you have permission from the landowner
or person who controls the land.
Penalties
If you ignore a DCO, you can be fined:
• £50 on the spot (a ‘Fixed Penalty Notice’).
• Up to £1,000 if it goes to court.
You can’t be fined if you’re a registered blind dog owner.

Fruit Case
I cannot be the only gardener in the village who is
feeling the strain of the growing season now that
the sun IS shining and those pathetic seedlings in my greenhouse that have
been drumming their leaflets impatiently for weeks, muttering where is the sun,
have actually started to grow.
My greenhouse is rather busy in early spring, regardless of rain, hail and blow,
the chance to hide away in the fug of the greenhouse and carefully sow early
vegetable seeds. I am always liberally supported in this task by countless cups of
tea and the ever present audio book, usually selected from the crime or thrillers
list of the BBC online shop.
This year has been an exceptionally slow start; seeds were slow to germinate
and when they did, were very slow to grow. It was purely the lack of sunlight
in my unheated greenhouse. The cold weather was a factor, but with
clear propagator covers the seed trays, it was the lack of light rather than
temperature, I grew increasingly frustrated at the delay. You can almost feel the
seedling grow when the atmosphere is right, a warm, bright, sunny yet humid
miasma with a particular smell, as memorable as the smell of tomatoes, sweet
and ripe on an indoor vine. The latter experience now denied to me as I have no
sense of smell, only the memory of it.
The past couple of weeks have made up for lost time, cornflowers which I am
growing for my daughter’s wedding next month, shot up 3 inches in 2 days,
just because the sun got to them. My ‘Love-in-the-Mist’ (or ‘Snog in the Fog’
as the bride calls them ) is not so successful, but the ox-eye daisies are growing
steadily, but only Him upstairs will know if any will be ready for the wedding, if
not we will have to decimate a nursery at night.
My hands are wrecked with weeding, the ingrained soil within the nicks and
cuts are quite shame-making to behold; they will not improve till the gardening
winds down in September. It is best just to sit on them when in company. Most
of my gardening friends are complaining of exhaustion, back ache and do seem
to grunt more when having to sit down at points in the church service. The
hard labour of this fruitful hobby, does have its fun and funnier moments when
visiting the local garden centre just before the bank holiday to get the best
selection before all the trippers empty the new stock!
Alison and I hit the garden centre on Saturday AND Sunday, nearly managing
to bust the suspension of her once clean car, with an amazing assortment of
items which were eventually fitted in with the genius of a rubix cube. Some of
the more memorable items were 2 ponds, fish food and pond plants, meat from
18
the butchers, large bags of greengrocery and choccy biscuits, trays of bedding
plants, a large potted acer, 2 clematis armandii in a garden bin for safety,
assorted potted plants......etc; the list went on. I was feeling depressed weighed
down with problems, but a bit of retail therapy with a difference, makes a
difference. I shall never forget coming out of the pond shop with waving a
fishing net, Alison behind with fish food, then a ‘nice young man’ carrying 2
ponds followed by another one carrying a tray of pond plants.....it was like being
on safari.

Pillaton Gardening Club Spring Show
The Gardening club Spring Show had a fine example of what was in flower at
that time and to show how cold it was, the snowdrops formed part of some of
the displays - this harbinger of spring usually long gone by the time of the show.
The bright yellow of the daffodils in the Village hall never ceases to impress
and we had many visitors in the afternoon who attended the Presentation of
Trophies by chairman Ken Beal. Christine Dunn had most points in the show
and also won the Dan du Plessis Trophy for daffodils. Rose Peter won the
Angove Trophy for floral art and Linda Mavin had the most points for shrubs
and the Dan du Plessis Memorial Trophy for being a Pillaton parishioner with
most daffodil points. This is a local event and we welcome all new exhibitors.
Carole Hoskin is the Show Secretary (350063) and Linda Mavin is the secretary
(350956) to whom enquiries can be made.
I would like to remind you that the Summer Show on September 7th has classes
which need preparation. The Newton Ferrers Trophy is for a Potted Begonia
for which the container may be of any size. The photography subjects for adults
are: country pursuits, boats, memories of floods, best photograph, bird(s), most
amusing with caption. For juniors, the photography subjects are: own choice,
holidays and pets.
