Dear St Leonards, St Ives, Ashley Heath & Avon Castle, We certainly have had mixed weather recently! Did you get caught in any of the snow we had? It took us two hours, instead of twenty minutes, to get home one evening and how we got up that hill I do not know, but we did it. One friend of ours abandoned his car after 5 hours on a journey that should take 25 minutes and walked the rest of the way home! I am sure you have your own stories. Needless to say, we have all had enough of that now and are definitely looking forward to the sunshine, more than ever. Fingers crossed! Hopefully we have a ray of sunshine here in the magazine with lots of good news and articles for you to read. Nellie is back! She took us to a “Murder Mystery Dinner” which sounds rather sombre but was actually a whole lot of fun. I do hope you enjoy the story as much as we enjoyed the evening. Nellie highly recommends you try one. Graham’s contact details are included should you decide to give it a go. Our loyal advertisers are here to help you as always. Some new ones too. They would all love to hear from you so please do the usual and mention us when calling them. If you have time to write a ‘testimonial’ for any of them, for good work they have done, do send it to us. We, and the advertisers, love to hear from you. The lucky winner of the prize wordsearch last month was Jill Horne. Well done! Will it be you this month? Do fill it in as you never know. Stephen, Hayden, Nellie and myself do hope you are having a Very Happy Easter. May we all be able to get outside and enjoy it! Best wishes,
Debbie & Stephen Corney

St Leonards & St Ives Parish Council The Parish Council has recently received two resignations from the Council. The first Cllr Mrs Beverley Waugh of the West Ward who was co-opted in May 2015 and secondly Cllr Jim Crow a very long standing Member who has served the South Ward since May 2003. We are very sorry to see them both go but we now have a duty to fill the vacancies left as expediently as possible. If the Council has not received any claim for a by-election by the time this article is published we will have to fill both vacancies by co-option. This means that residents and people who work within the Parish boundary may apply and the Council will choose a suitable applicant. It is hoped to do this at the full Council meeting on 25th April 2018. The Parish Council’s role is to represent the interests of this community. Your Council is a corporate body, a legal entity separate from that of its members. Its decisions are the responsibility of the whole body. The Parish Council is completely separate to other tiers of government whilst they have very few duties they have a legal power to take action. The Parish Council looks after the Parish owned sites at Braeside Road, Horton Road
Village Green and Jubilee Copse. In addition to this the Council is a statutory consultee and can influence other decision makers for example on planning matters including planning strategies for the future. They have the power to raise money through taxation. The biggest change in Local Government this area has ever seen is about to take place please consider whether you are willing and would like to take part in that. Look on our website www.stleonardspc.org. uk to see what we do. If you are interested please apply in writing by email to office@stleonardspc.org.uk or by post to Mrs Ann Jacobs, Parish Office, Village Hall, Braeside Road, St Leonards, BH24 2PH. Please include a CV detailing what you can bring to the Council by way of skills and/or knowledge. The deadline for applications is Friday 13th April 2018.

Local Heritage: Henry Barber With an early Easter falling on 1st April this year, it would perhaps be foolish not to commemorate a very important member of the community who contributed so much to the building and management of the original “All Saints” church. Henry Barber came to St. Ives in 1904, and lived with his sisters Fanny and Anna at Sudbury Villa, today’s 78 Ringwood Road, seen here in about 1910. My researches into the Church’s story began when I received a copy of the Clarke’s 1996 book “A Vision of Faith” in 2006. A brief compilation was provided in the Narthex, and access gained to the archives. Today a more detailed history is in hand for a new Meeting House file R09, titled “A Tale of Two Churches”. Henry was active from the outset in pressing for a local church at St. Ives. He and William Bell (see my June article) were the first Churchwardens. This picture of Henry was taken at a fundraising event in Blue Cottage Meadow in 1912. He became responsible for the accounts prior to, during and after the church was completed in November 1912. His spinster
sisters owned the Villa, and provided a home in later life for Henry. He apparently occupied himself helping out in people’s gardens, so he must have spent some of his time in that greenhouse in front of the house. In 1915 Henry was made Lay Reader and ran the church in the absence of a resident priest. The picture was probably taken after the ceremony in Winchester Cathedral. In 1917, aged 75, the impoverished Henry applied to become a Noble Brother in Poverty at St. Cross. He was recommended by the Bishop of Winchester himself, who had known him earlier for his church work in London. In November 1918, now failing in health, he was accepted into the community. This picture (above right), with a traveller receiving his Wayfarer’s Dole, is probably from the 1920s. Henry died there in 1922, and was buried in the family grave at Southampton. January 2008 brought an E-mail to the Parish Office from Canada from Frances Barber, Henry’s great grand-daughter. Thus began my more detailed research into Henry’s

story, culminating in a visit by Frances’ sister Pearl and her husband. An exchange of letters and documents revealed that the family’s origins were in the Southampton area. Several members were grocers, and he seems to have helped out as a boy. He becomes involved in estate agency work, marries, then something goes wrong, and he disappears from the records. He later re-appears in SW London, working for Pascalls, the sweet makers. There had been some bleak personal and family elements that must have tested his faith at the time. Papers on file indicate the Bishop of Winchester had once been a parish priest in the Clapham area. This leaflet dated 8th April 1915 has Henry giving a lantern lecture at the Church titled “Rambles around London”, which brought in 18s. 9d. for the Building Fund. Similar events are recorded in Ringwood. It is of note that, by the time he retired, the Building Fund had cleared the loan taken out to build the church. When the couple visited in 2008, we met at the church; toured the village, including Sudbury Villa; travelled to Winchester to receive a pre-arranged tour of St. Cross, including Henry’s actual room; found Fanny’s home in the road outside where
she had moved to care for him; located the site of his mother and sister’s guest house in Southampton; and finally visited the family grave. As a result of my earlier researches, volunteers had cleared the area of undergrowth, but advised us that the headstone had been lost when a bomb fell in the area during WW2. At the church Pearl bought the very last copy of the Clarke’s book and left a donation. Frances later sent John an even bigger one. My personal archives from this period contain the mass of material received from Canada and my own researches at the time. These will now be used to complete Henry’s story within the “Two Churches” file for the Meeting House. John Hawkins

Talking about Wildlife...
Barn Owls
The silent flight of a barn owl is a majestic and wonderful sight for any nature lover. With the features of their heart shaped faces and deep black eyes, they are an unmistakable icon of the countryside in the UK. However, it may surprise you to hear that the odds are stacked against these wonderful creatures, with a long list of challenges and problems they face daily. Firstly, there’s the two things we all need: food and shelter. Declining or unsuitable habitat means that both of these vital elements to their survival immediately puts them at threat. Suitable roosting sites, and then good quality unimproved grassland for their prey to live (such as voles and mice) can be hard to come by if the quality of the habitat close to them isn’t good enough. During the breeding season, they need to have a plentiful food source within 1km of their roost – their chicks can eat their own body weight in food in one night. The next challenge is overcoming the physical limitations of the barn owls’ wings, which aren’t waterproof. They are also unable to store a lot of body fat, and therefore are particularly prone to starvation during prolonged periods of severe weather or when there is shortage of prey. Taking all this into account, it really is a miracle that five chicks survived and fledged from the roost at Lorton Meadows Nature Reserve in Weymouth last year. Thousands of us watched them on DWT’s webcam, as the parents tirelessly found food for their chicks and kept them safe and warm until it was time for them to venture out into the world. Dorset Wildlife Trust has launched an appeal to raise £20,000 to fund vital habitat work at Lorton Meadows Nature Reserve in Weymouth, to help keep food and shelter

abundant for these, and other barn owls in the area. The nature reserve, which has been managed by DWT for 20 years this year, is abundant with flower-rich hay meadows, mature hedgerows and woodland – all holding the small mammals that barn owls hunt, such as voles, mice and shrews. Conservation work needed to keep this a suitable site for barn owls to thrive in includes: reducing areas of encroaching scrub to increase areas of grassland where barn owls feed; putting up 1900m of fencing to maintain the grassland by cattle grazing; holding 300 conservation volunteer days, and managing over 300m of hedgerows on the site. We urgently need to reach our fundraising targets to complete this work.

Apex Tree Surgeons Ltd are your local, fully qualified and insured tree surgeons. Working across the South Coast of England they specalise in all aspects of tree surgery, including: tree & hedge trimming and removals, shaping, pruning, dead wooding, stump grinding and soil improvement. All work is carried out and completed in a professional and competent manner to the highest Arboricultural Association standards. How can I increase the light in my garden? Crown raising, tree thinning, or reducing the trees canopy are all effective methods to allowing more light into the garden. My neighbor’s trees overhang my garden, what are my rights? You are responsible for maintaining any tree or hedge that falls within your boundary. However, the owners of the tree have a duty of care to ensure the tree is safe. If the tree is protected, an application to the Council is required. What can be done about High Hedges? If you feel a hedge is too tall and affects the reasonable enjoyment of your house or garden, the initial step is to discuss it with your neighbours. If negotiation is unsuccessful, contact us to enquire about using the high hedges legislation. What should I do if I think my tree is diseased or dying? Seek our professional advice. We will inspect the tree and provide a solution. How do I go about having a tree removed? If you feel that tree removal is necessary then our first step is finding out it if the tree is protected. Following that we will survey the tree and provide a free quote. My trees are protected, what can you do? Any tree that is protected requires an application to be submitted to your local council to gain consent to carry out tree work.
Would you apply to the council on my behalf? If you have works carried out by us, we offer to submit the application on your behalf at no extra fee, as part of our service. What can I do if my trees are uprooting my drive? In most circumstances we can overcome this problem by either root pruning or using variable surface layers. How much is a quote? We carry out all of our quotations for free as part of our service. We will schedule an appointment to visit and advise on the trees in questions and send a free of charge, no obligation quotation. Why should I use you? We pride ourselves on delivering a professional, reliable and stress free service. From the original quotation right through to completion we work closely with all our clients to really understand their requirements and achieve the result you are looking for.

Gardening Tips
house & garden
a beginner’s
GUIDE Strawberries
Strawberries can be grown in most gardens but are particularly successful in milder areas with frost free autumns. If space is limited they are very suitable for container growing - in pots, hanging baskets, even window boxes. Best of all is a strawberry tower or terracotta strawberry pot which allows you to grow a lot of plants in one place and has the added advantage of keeping the fruit off the ground and so dirt free. There are early, mid-season and late varieties so you could try a mixture of plants to extend your season. If using a container, use good compost and a slow-release fertiliser and soak the soil before planting. Have some netting ready for when the fruit appears or the birds might
beat you to it! If planting in the garden, you could consider planting through black plastic sheeting, pegged down and the edges buried to stop it blowing away. It’s best to mound up the soil in the centre where the plants will grow so that water will run off either side. Using this method means no weeding is required and you won’t need to put straw or other matting under the plants to keep the fruit clean. It also helps keep in the moisture and encourages early crops by warming the soil. Protect the flowers in spring if frost is expected, with double sheets of newspaper. Replace plants every 2-3 years which can be done cheaply by spreading out some of the runners from a plant and pegging them down. Once they have rooted and are growing well, lift carefully, detach from the parent plant and transplant to a new plot.

Like a lot of slimmer’s, Brenda had tried to lose weight so many times before by following numerous diets but they were never sustainable because she would always get tired of restricting what she ate.

The eating plan encourages you to eat lots of tasty, filling foods like pasta, rice, potatoes and lean meat and fish, you are never hungry and no foods are banned so there’s no deprivation. She couldn’t believe that she had found a way to lose weight without starving herself.

Celebrity Interview:
Clint Eastwood By Tim Saunders
These days when most people hit 87 years old they reside in a care home, having had to sell their homes to foot the bills. Not so for multiple awardwinning Hollywood heart throb Clint Eastwood who is still very much active. In fact, the next film he will direct is entitled A Star is Born in 2018. Worth over £300m, it seems that my old boss the late Paul Cave, who was manager of legendary crooner Frankie Vaughan for many years, was wrong about Clint. “It was the ‘50s and Clint flew over from the States to meet me in my London office; I couldn’t see any talent and couldn’t do anything for him,” he told me. Soon after their meeting Clint secured his first role in American western television series Rawhide earning around £70 a week but was criticised for how he came across including delivering his lines through clenched teeth. The latter has stayed with him throughout his almost 70-year career. He has contributed to over 50 films over his career as actor, director, producer, and composer. He has acted in several television series, including his starring role in Rawhide. He started directing in 1971, and made his debut as a producer in 1982, with Firefox, though he had been functioning as uncredited producer on all of his Malpaso Company films since Hang ‘Em High in 1968. Eastwood also has contributed music to his films, either through performing, writing, or composing. He has mainly starred in western, action, and drama films. According to the box office–revenue tracking website Box Office Mojo, films featuring Clint Eastwood have grossed a total of more than $1.68 billion domestically, with an average of $37
million per film. He has his own Warner Bros. Records distributed imprint Malpaso Records, as part of his deal with Warner Brothers, which has released all the scores of his films from The Bridges of Madison County onwards. Clint composed the film scores of Mystic River, Million Dollar Baby, Flags of Our Fathers, Grace Is Gone, Changeling, Hereafter, J. Edgar, and the original piano compositions for In the Line of Fire. He wrote and performed the song heard over the credits of Gran Torino. After Rawhide in the 1960s Clint went on to star in a series of spaghetti westerns including: A Fist Full of Dollars and The Good, The Bad and The Ugly. The 1970s saw him take the leading role of police inspector Harry Callaghan in Dirty Harry, delivering one of his most memorable lines: “Make my day punk”. When Sean Connery turned down the role of James Bond it was offered to Clint but it wasn’t for him. In the 1970s he started directing films, the first being Play Misty for Me as well as his first western, High Plains Drifter. He went on to star alongside Meryl Streep in the romantic film Bridges of Madison County and in 2008 directed, produced and had the lead role in Gran Torino about a ageing widower who watches his neighbourhood fall into disrepute and he single handedly takes on those responsible for this. Often choosing the role of a hard man he plays a part that every man and woman can relate to and sympathise with. As one might expect of a Hollywood actor Clint has had a series of relationships with leading ladies and has several children. A lifelong non-smoker Clint practices a healthy lifestyle which includes transcendental meditation. He is a restaurateur and golfer. He is also a pianist and although he never made it as a professional musician, he passed on the influence to his son Kyle Eastwood, a successful jazz bassist and composer. Tim Saunders is an author, journalist and businessman. He meets celebrities, goes on holiday and road tests cars.
