Which way for Ivybridge? ast month, we carried details of a number of developments that are planned for Ivybridge, and the consultations being held around them which gave you the chance to have your say on what is being proposed. But there is more to Ivybridge than just bricks & mortar. We have a great community and the Town Council wants your views on how best to ensure this continues to thrive as the town changes. With this issue of the magazine, you should have received a simple questionnaire which allows you to tell the council what you think about your community now, and how it can be made even better in the future. The questionnaire forms part of a consultation being launched at the Lions Club Funday at Ivybridge Rugby Club on 5 July, 2014, which will include an exhibition in The Watermark Information Centre, and the start of a dialogue to create a deliverable blueprint for the future. As any fellow recycling centre users among you will not doubt testify, the current site has not really been adequate for some considerable time. It appears, at last, that this could be about to change. Devon County Council has identified a potential site for a new facility and is holding an exhibition at The Watermark to unveil its plans (see page 5).

See page 9

Among the host of events taking place this month (a bumper What’s On section starts on page 17) is an old favourite and an exciting new event to the town. The Lions Club Funday at the rugby club is a firm family favourite (see page 23), while Active Ivybridge promises a festival of sport and cultural activities taking place across the town over three days (see page 20). I will be trying to be at as many events as possible, so hopefully see you there!

NEW RECYCLING CENTRE PLANS UNVEILED

Children from the town’s primary schools paid dues of a ream of paper, a duck and a red rose to the villagers of Ermington at the historic Bridge Ceremony on Saturday, 21 June, to ensure Ivybridge residents can cross the Ivy Bridge freely for another year. The ceremony is a re-enactment of the age-old Battle of the Bridge between Ivybridge and Ermington parishes, when the residents of Ivybridge had to pay the forfeit to be allowed to cross the bridge.

MEMORIAL BENCHES BLESSED

Two unique commemorative benches in honour of American servicemen billeted in the town in the lead up to D-Day were blessed at a special ceremony at MacAndrews Field on 6 June, to coincide with the 70th anniversary of D-Day. The benches consist of 32 uprights carved with the

name of each ‘Bedford Boy’, as they came to be known because they hailed from the town of Bedford, Virginia, with the length proportional to the age when each man died. Of the 32 men, 19 died within hours of landing on Omaha beach, with just 10 surviving the campaign.

A bigger and better recycling centre for the Ivybridge area is being proposed by Devon County Council. The new facility would replace the existing site at Bridge Court, which is too small and no longer fit for purpose. A potential site, on the opposite side of the A38 slip road to the existing centre, has been identified for a new facility. Before the planning application for the new facility is submitted, residents are invited to a public exhibition on Thursday, 3 July, 2014, at The Watermark, between 3pm and 8pm, where council officers will be available to discuss the proposal. Alternatively, you can visit www.devon.gov.uk/recyclingcentres (the website goes live on 3 July, 2014).

WHAT DO YOU THINK OF YOUR COMMUNITY? Ivybridge Town Council wants to know what you think of your community. You should have received a questionnaire with your copy of The Ivybridge magazine, which gives you the chance to give your views on whether you feel part of the community, the good things about it, and how it can be improved in the future. All completed questionaries will be entered into a prize draw to win two tickets to see Monty Python Live (Mostly) at the O2 being screened at The Watermark on 20 July.

STILL TIME TO HAVE YOUR SAY ON LIBRARY CHANGES

Zach Ogden with learning support assistant Maria Molero-Cuchi

Students at Hannahs have been busy sowing poppy seeds in the school garden. The seeds were donated by the Ivybridge branch of the RBL to mark the centenary of the start of the First World War.

Major changes to the way library services are delivered are proposed for Ivybridge Library and people are being urged to give their views on the plans. A consultation runs until 17 July, and you can have your say by completing a written questionnaire available in the library, online at toughchoices.co.uk or by sending a letter to the library; children and young people’s views are particularly welcome.

IVYBRIDGE STREET NAMES – THE STORY BEHIND THEM

BRUNEL WAY

In 1844, Isambard Kingdom Brunel was engaged by South Devon Railways to build the Ivybridge viaduct. It had 11 bays, was 252 foot long and was 120 foot high. The viaduct was completed in

In our June issue, we asked for your questions to put to the developers of Stowford Mill. We were, however, somewhat usurped by the consultation held on 6 June, which was not announced prior to us going to print. We have, therefore, decided to hold this over, as once people have had a chance to see the plans, more pertinent questions may arise.

1848. Originally, it was a single track line built of timber on stone, but in 1893 this was doubled. Most of the early pillars are still standing and they can be seen alongside the new ones.

SCHOOL CHOIR STARS AT CHARITY CONCERTS The choir of Woodlands Park Primary School starred in a series of charity concerts in June. The children performed alongside the U3A choir, Kingsmen and solo performers over two

nights at the Methodist Church in concerts which raised £1,500 for Children’s Hospice South West. The school also held a cake sale in aid of the Children’s Hospice South West, raising over £35.

HONOUR WALK An Honour Walk from Ivybridge to Torquay in respect of people from Ivybridge who have died for their country has raised almost £1,000. Richard Lane, vice chairman of the Royal British Legion Ivybridge Branch, and three other members

set off from the war memorial on 16 May, after a short service conducted by branch padre Ken Bromage, and were met with applause by delegates at the RBL National Conference, at the Riviera Centre Torquay.

GREENFINGERED VOLUNTEERS NEEDED

The town’s Walkers Are Welcome status was officially launched at the end of May with a concert at The Watermark. John Jones & Reluctant Ramblers Band Walking Tour 2014 stopped off in the town to help celebrate achieving the national accolade. Forty five walkers rolled into town after covering the 14 miles from

Holne to Ivybridge ahead of the gig. There was a live link to BBC Radio Devon and the well-attended concert drew a standing ovation from delighted revellers. On the Saturday, 51 walkers set off from Ivybridge to Noss Mayo via Flete Estate, Mothecombe and SW Path.

2nd Ivybridge Brownies have been busy celebrating 100 years of Brownies with a host of special activities to mark the occasion. The town’s Brownie units joined up for three World Centre evenings, special commemorative centenary badges have been

earned and the girls have been working on the Big Brownie Birthday Challenge since January. Ivybridge Trefoil Guild members ran a Brownie meeting as it used to be, and the group went to the Big Brownie Birthday Stay Away at the Eden Project.

Local Transition Initiative PL:21 has finally got permission to turn the grassed area around the Youth Venue into an organic community garden. Local landscape designer Helen Williams has come up with a design for the garden, but to make the garden a reality and for it to be sustainable, PL:21 needs local people to get involved. They need help building the gar-

den, laying pathways, painting the planters, planting and then maintaining the plot and all offers of help or resources are gratefully received. Contact Margot (659654) or Katie (698783) if you can help in any way or email pl-21@hotmail.co.uk.

Star Quest is the last celebration, when, as well as activities to complete in past, present and future zones, brownies will be serving 100 cups of tea in the Hub on Saturday. 19 July, 10am-noon. Everyone is welcome, so please pop in for a cuppa. facebook.com/theivybridgemagazine

How safe are your children on the internet?

There are plenty of ‘chat’ sites people can go onto nowadays and with most adults and children having a smartphone or access to the internet it is now far easier to chat to complete ‘strangers’ and also to send photos.

With Teen Safe, a parent can monitor their child’s Apps and it lets you monitor multiple children with one subscription, text messages, phone location, phone call logs, iPhone web history, search history and

bookmarks, contact address book, Facebook private messages, Facebook and Instagram feeds, and Facebook and Instagram social interactions. OPERATION TREACLE UPDATE Unusually, last weekend was quiet. There was a private house party and unwanted guests who wouldn’t take ‘No’ for an answer. Police were called, attended and three males were issued with a ‘Dispersal to Leave’ Notice which directs them to leave an area detailed by the police officer until a certain time the following day. The males were also taken home to their parents so they could be made aware of what had happened.

FACEBOOK & TWITTER We run and manage both social media sites for Ivybridge Police which provides witness appeals, identification sought and general advice. We receive messages from concerned members of our community about antisocial behaviour, criminal damage and invites to local events and, if we can, we will share the information received. WORLD CUP WARNING National figures show an increase in reported domestic abuse offences of up to 27 per cent during international football tournaments, with alcohol being a known contributory factor. Please drink sensibly.

vice and will endeavour to find something out if we don't know. We will also order goods in if we don’t have it in stock. “Our loyalty card attracts people from far and wide and our prices are good, too – supermarkets are not always cheaper.” Sue and Mark wish to thank all their customers over the last 15 years for their support and look forward to welcoming them, and many new faces too, in the future.

Forty cubs from 1st Ivybridge Scout Group enjoyed an activity day at River Dart Country Park at the end of May. The day was organised with Plymouth University in order to allow trainee primary physical education teachers to practise their teaching of outdoor activities. The aim of the day was for the cubs to develop team work and communication skills by taking part in activities such as crate stacking, jacobs ladder, an assault course and low ropes.

Over 70 children dressed in space costumes toddled around the Donkey Centre at Filham Park to raise money for Barnado’s. The half-mile toddle took in the Donkey Sensory garden and around the field. The children were presented with a medal, certificates and stickers to recognise their great effort, and were then able to have fun on a bouncy castle,

have their faces painted, take a cart ride with the donkeys, and had lots of time to play on the soft play, plant seeds, colour spaceman Todd and enjoy a picnic in the field. The fundraising walk was organised for Ivybridge and Kingsbridge Childminders at the end of May. So far, the toddle has raised nearly £800 with money still coming in.

DISCOVER

Dartmoor THE AMAZING COUNTRYSIDE ON YOUR DOORSTEP

Sheep farming on Dartmoor By David Sadler heep have been farmed on Dartmoor for over 5,000 years. During the 17th and 18th centuries the main method of land improvement was the result of sheep being folded on root crops to fertilise the land. This then allowed for increased production of wool, which generated wealth for the country enabling the industrial revolution to take place. With the introduction of mechanisation, cereal and dairying took over the more fertile lowland farms as more lucrative forms of agriculture, and sheep production moved to the less favoured hills. Much of Dartmoor is categorised as rough grazings – land which is too high, too rugged or too wet for cultivation. Sheep have an important role to play as they can efficiently convert this rough herbage into meat. Today, sheep are farmed primarily for their meat – wool has very little commercial value. The sheep most commonly found on the moor above Ivybridge include the Scottish Blackface, Cheviot, Swaledale and Welsh Mountain breeds. Some farmers keep small flocks of less common breeds, such as Herdwicks, Black Welsh Mountain and White Faced Dartmoor. These are all hill breeds and have similar attributes – they are good mothers and are hardy, being able to survive on the moor where the lowland breeds cannot thrive. The number of sheep that a farmer can put out on the common depends on the number of grazing rights held. The farms around the edge of Dartmoor have grazing rights attached to their land. Grazing rights can no longer be bought separately as they could in the past. Sheep on Dartmoor are usually hefted. Hefting is the method of flock management on the open moor, so when sheep are turned out they have an area in which they tend to graze, known as their lea. Once established, ewes tend not to stray away from this area and get to know where to find water, shelter and the best feeding areas. Most sheep farmers feel that the work of the coming year is started when the flock is ‘made up’, only retaining those ewes which are intended to lamb in the following spring. The remaining ewes may be sold. The ram goes in with the ewes in the late autumn so

“Grazing sheep have long played a significant part in maintaining the distinctive landscape that we have all come to value.” that the lambs are not born too early. Sheep are brought back to lower ground near the farmstead for lambing. Hill lambs are born a little later than the lowland flocks, usually in April and May when the weather is better. The ewes are turned back out onto the moor with their lambs when they are strong enough, after a few shepherding tasks are carried out, such as tailing, castration and tagging. Later in the autumn, different sections of the moor have ‘sheep-clear’ periods to ensure that all sheep are accounted for. Jobs which have to be done throughout the year include worming, dipping, foot trimming and shearing. The best ewe lambs are kept back for

breeding to keep the flock numbers up. The best male (wether) lambs are sold directly to the abattoir for meat. The rest of the lambs would be sold at market to be fattened later in the year on better ground. One of the major concerns for farmers leaving their stock on the open moor is the damage caused by out-of-control dogs. Dogs can brutally injure and kill sheep – sadly this is not an uncommon occurrence on Dartmoor. Even if sheep are not physically harmed, harassment by dogs can result in ewes aborting, lambs being separated from their mothers, or sheep being chased into rivers, roads or gullies. Dogs should be kept under control at all times when on the moor. As well as providing food, wool and livelihoods, grazing sheep have long played a significant part in maintaining the distinctive landscape that we have all come to value. Controlled grazing is an environmentally sensitive and effective way of controlling aggressive weed species, thus enhancing the habitats for wildlife and keeping the moor open and accessible to those who want to enjoy it.

Watery science

KEY STAGE 1 and Foundation pupils at Manor Primary School took part in a watery themed Science Day. They carried out a variety of activities to investigate floating and sinking, designed and made their own wooden rafts, and also found out how to stay safe around water using the Water Safety Code.

Remembrance and commemoration Pupils at Woodlands Park Primary School have been taking part in a number of activities centred on the centenary of the start of the First World War. As well as holding remembrance and commemorative assemblies, Year 3 & 4 pupils have submitted remembrance poems to The Watermark, of which 30 will be selected to be published as bookmarks to commemorate the 1914 Centenary. All submitted poems will be displayed in The Watermark and school in due course. All children have received poppy seeds, courtesy

of the Ivybridge branch of the Royal British Legion, to plant at home, and remembrance and commemoration was the theme the school chose for the gate dressing competition on 21 June. A limited number of the 2013 poem books, containing pupils’ poems, are now available from the school office for £1 (all funds going to the Remembrance Appeal). More information on forthcoming events organised by the Ivybridge branch of the Royal British Legion are available at www.rblivybridge.co.uk/diary

Evie conquers the zip wire

Year 4 children at Stowford School enjoyed a night of adventure and discovery under canvas in woods. The youngsters spent a night in woods, learning new skills and gaining a deeper understanding of nature and the environment. The adventure started in Dittisham, where the children, armed with maps they had drawn to help guide them into the camp, navigated their way to their home for the night. The afternoon and evening were spent learning bush craft skills, collecting food and building a fire, before cooking the pizzas they had made on their individual fires. The following morning they had the opportunity to “have a go” on the camp’s zip wire. 14

Children complete 20th anniversary Junior Ten Tors challenge A new toddler group at Manor School has had a flying start, with children enjoying a range of storybased activities, arts and crafts, and outdoor play. The toddlers enjoyed meeting the school’s chickens and guinea pigs, and swimming sessions are

also planned. The group takes place every Tuesday during term time from 1.30-2.45pm, and is open to children born between August 2010 and September 2012. Go along, or contact the school on (01752) 893182 for further details.

All the hard work and dedicated training paid off for the Erme Primary School Junior Tens Tors team when they completed the 20th anniversary edition of the challenge. Nine Year 6 children set off from Cadover Bridge at 8.15am on the Friday morning, heading towards Legis Tor. The children navigated 18 miles across the moor in beautiful sunshine on the first day, and visited eight of the 10 tors before arriving at their campsite near Princetown. After a good night’s sleep, the team set off again early on Saturday morning to complete the route. They arrived at Leeden Tor to find their proud parents waiting to cheer them over the finishing line. Headteacher and team leader Mr Hall said: “I am extremely proud of the children, who put the skills they had learned during training into practice. “I would also like to thank all of the people who helped with the training and event, especially Phil Lee and Mark Hall, who gave up a lot of time to help.”

Dangers of Wills with Trusts THERE good reasons for can be many

putting Trusts in Wills, but equally so there are many Wills out there with Trusts which are no longer needed because of a change in the Law or changed circumstances, and the implications of some of these can cost hundreds or thousands of pounds unnecessary expense after death. Very recently I was asked by a lady who had lost her husband to explain his Will to her as it was complicated. On examining it, I found it had what is known as a Nil Rate Band Discretionary Trust in it. This was very common until October 2007 when the law changed, and the

reason for putting it in a pair of Wills for a couple was to save Inheritance Tax. To make it even worse for this lady, the Wills had only been written by their Solicitor a few months before the law changed, and if their Solicitor had gone back to them and suggested the trusts were taken out of the Wills when the law changed, she would be £2,500 better off today and would not have had to go through Probate on her husband’s death. The message is clear; if you have an Inheritance Tax saving type of Trust in your Wills, ask your legal advisor if it is still necessary. I personally offer a free

THE MILL’S ROLE IN THE TOWN As well as its economic contribution to the town, Stowford Mill has been a generous supporter of the local community over the 226 years its was operational. Mill owner John Allen, from 1849 to his death in 1877, was especially generous. He poured money into the mill when many were closing due to lack of investment, safeguarding employment for as many as 300 people at any one time, he gave the land and cost of building the Methodist Church (£6,000) and 10

consultation for this. Even if your Wills were written since 2007 you may have a Protective Property Trust in your Wills, and while this was a good thing several years ago there are now better ways to protect your home if you are of an age where you no longer require a mortgage. The best approach now to protecting your home may be to put it into a Home Protection Trust.

TRAVEL TO PLYMOUTH FOR LESS THIS MONTH Regular travellers between Ivybridge and Plymouth can take advantage of a great offer from Stagecoach his month. From 28 June, their Plymouth weekly Megarider ticket is going down from £15 to just £9. The ticket gives seven days unlimited travel on the company’s X38 and Gold buses for all stops between Ivybridge and Plymouth city centre. The Gold service in particular is a rather different way to travel by bus – luxury interiors, extra legroom and free wifi all mean travelling by Gold is a cut above the normal commute. The Gold service runs up to every half hour Monday to Saturday, with the first service into Plymouth from Ivybridge leaving just after 6am and the last service back at 10.30pm, giving you plenty of time to shop, have something to eat, or even catch a show, and still be able to get the bus home. Sunday’s service is roughly every hour from 9am to 9pm. Stagecoach haven’t yet given an end date on this deal, so if enough people use it they may decide to make it permanent.

The importance of making a Will

obody likes to think about making Wills, going into a home or losing their mental capacity, but these things cannot be ignored without storing up problems for your family. Like an umbrella, you don’t want to use it, but you’re glad when you have one! Over half of the adults in the UK die without having made a Will. It is a common misconception that if you die without a Will your estate will automatically pass to your next of kin. If you don’t have a Will, the law sets out what happens to your possessions, money and property under the rules of intestacy and you might not like the results of this. Make a Will and you will be able to

by Katherine Millman, of Howard & Over Solicitors decide where your money goes and who will be dealing with the paperwork. A Will can also be used to: • Reduce Inheritance Tax; • Shield your home from care fees;

• Detail funeral wishes; and • Appoint guardians for your children. To make it easier for your loved ones who will be left behind, make sure that you have an up-to- date Will and minimise any problems that they may be burdened with. When making your Will, ensure the person advising you is a qualified solicitor and beware of costly Will writing companies that may sell you services that you may not need and cause you further cost and taxation issues in the future. Please contact Katherine Millman (a solicitor specialising in Wills, Probate and Powers of Attorney) at Howard & Over solicitors for further details.

TAKE BETTER

Photos

More tips on how to improve the images you take using your digital camera

BY DAVID RAYNER OF IVYBRIDGE AND DISTRICT CAMERA CLUB

WE ARE SO lucky in Ivybridge, having wonderful rivers both in our own town and also many others nearby, such as the Avon in the photo above. They are really easy to photograph, and continually provide new opportunities for that special shot. Our rivers provide a wide range of flows, both from day-to-day and from place-to-place. They can be tame trickles one day and raging torrents the next, and our photographs can give a new meaning to shooting the rapids. This time we’ll take a look at some of the techniques you’ll need, and what to watch out for. You don’t need a massive scene or a roaring waterfall, sometimes little streams work very well and are all the more intriguing when the surrounding scene is reduced to a few simple objects. Look out for shots that can be made from close-up photography. A foreground rock is a good way to add interest in your image, so look to incorporate something there, unless you have a good reason not to. In the image above, I felt that the swirling ring of bubbles was key to the photograph, so I took the other route and went for a very dark water pool for the 30

foreground instead. The Erme photo below, taken in Longtimber Woods, shows an example of what I mean. Try shooting in rainy or overcast conditions. Moving water is often white and shadows very dark under rocky overhangs, often producing an extreme dynamic range (the range of light intensity) that is difficult to photograph without graduated filters and/or bracketing. Overcast days give softer lighting, reducing the dynamic range. The low light levels will also enable longer shutter speeds so your image can

River Erme in Longtimber Woods

record those moving bubbles and give soft silky water. Wet rocks after recent rain will often give deep blacks and wet leaves often have a lovely colour saturation in overcast light. One thing to remember, though, is that white water is very white and can often blow out any detail. Set your camera’s exposure compensation to about minus two-thirds to reduce the exposure of every image automatically. Remember to set it back to zero afterwards though as it will stay set even after the camera is turned off.

In low light, you won’t need filters to record silky waterfalls, an exposure time of around a second will do and little spirals of water will loose clarity if the exposure is too long anyway. Watch the bubbles go round and judge the time for maybe a quarter or half a rotation. Then set this time on your camera in shutter priority mode (almost all digital cameras have this mode available these days, even if it means going into a menu). The camera will automatically adjust the aperture and usually the ISO too to record at the shutter speed you set. If you have a polarising filter, then that will help to reduce glare on shiny surfaces and allow even longer shutter speeds (or help getting slow speeds on brighter days). Finally, look to clean your lens with a clean cloth frequently while shooting near water as spray will gradually accumulate and spoil that one photo you thought was best! You probably won’t notice the small drops by eye on the LCD screen – but you will when you get the image on the computer at home.

Members get hands-on It will be murder A ‘rainbow’ of colours and plant material was the end result of June’s meeting of Ivybridge Flower Club when members and guests enjoyed a 'hands-on' evening. Club member Avril Eaves designed and demonstrated an arrangement using two halves of a posy pad to create a hemispherical shape. She then demonstrated how to cover the sides with moss, and placed the flowers across the centre to create a ‘rainbow’ effect. After the step-by-step demonstration, members set to work enthusiastically to create their own interpretation of the design. The end results were very individual, but all agreed that they were beautiful! The evening was judged to be a great success and further workshop evenings are being planned into next year's club programme. FIND OUT MORE: Details available from Janet Weston (01752) 894643

The July general meeting of Ivybridge U3A will be held in The Watermark on Monday, 21 July, at 2pm. The speaker will be Simon Dell on Dartmoor murders.

Have-a-go horticulturists Have-a-go at flower arranging is the focus of the July meeting of Ivybridge Garden Association on Thursday, 24 July, at the Methodist Church Hall, Fore Street, starting at 7.45pm. Several members of the association are well practiced flower arrangers and will be on hand to help and give advice when requested. The idea is to use home-grown flowers and greenery, so members are asked to bring any they have to spare. Oasis will be provided by the association. The usual raffle will be held and refreshments will be available. FIND OUT MORE: Contact Mrs Acheson on (01752) 894867

Theatre company’s colouring competition Ivybridge Theatre Company is inviting children to enter their great Wind in the Willows colouring competition.

Children can submit their entry (one per child) in the competition box in Ivybridge Library. Write your name, age and contact details on the back of the picture (paper no larger than A4 please). Closing date is 22 August 2014. ITC hope to display all the pictures in The Watermark during the performances. Rehearsals for the latest ITC production, Further Adventures of Toad -The Wind in the Willows, are in full swing ahead of the productions in September at The Watermark.

If you own or run a business, you need to know this...

by SELENA AYLETT, LLB

You know your business better than anyone. After hours of unpaid work, stress and developing a client base you are the right person to keep it going. But imagine if you had been taken seriously ill last week... What is the state of your business today? Has someone trustworthy taken over, or is it struggling? Who do you think will step in to help? Your spouse or an employee might be willing. Now, if you are happy with that, then do you have a business Lasting Power of Attorney? It legally appoints someone to make your decisions for you. All too often NO ONE can legally help (or even operate a bank account). If you DON'T have a business LPA, your business could stop functioning. Your competitors are ready to fill that gap! An LPA must be registered NOW. Save thousands, save your business and try to avoid expensive complex legal proceedings.

PET TALK FROM WOODLANDS VETERINARY GROUP

Has your pet ever had to have a surgical operation and do you know what is involved? I thought about writing this as I sat in the Erme Preoperative Assessment Ward in Derriford last week awaiting a major operation. I started off being friendly with the people next to me. Then, after an hour had passed, I thought that, had I been a dog, I would probably have initiated a fight just to relieve the boredom and frustration. Finally, I was called in, asked a lot of questions and sent out again; this process was repeated at least once more. I did not receive a physical examination other than a cursory blood pressure and temperature check. However, when I met the anaesthetist, she was brilliant, explaining everything and giving me time to ask questions and express concerns. When you bring your pet in to us for surgery, it is likely that you will already have had a consultation with the vet to establish a diagnosis and the need for surgery. You will hopefully have been involved in the consultation process, and been given options, likely costs and outcomes. A pre-anaesthetic blood test and routine full blood count and biochemistry to check liver, kidney and blood glucose will have been offered. This is especially important for older animals, where early (or late) disease may not have been recognised at home. A urine sample is useful too. When your pet comes in to us, (unlike me sitting in the admissions ward with a lot of other nervous people) you will be called in directly by either a qualified nurse, if your pet’s operation is routine or pre-planned, or by the vet if there are issues to be discussed on the day. Your consent form will have been prepared earlier and it is essential that we have up-to-date contact numbers for you on the day. The form allows you to give your informed consent and check that you understand the procedure. It also confirms that the animal has been starved and vaccinated and lists which medications your pet may be on and when he/she last took them. Last, but not least, it alerts you to the small but present risk of anaesthetic mortality. In people, this risk is extremely low; about 6-7 deaths in a million, and this includes operating on some extremely sick individuals. In dogs, the mortality is higher, roughly 1 in 100- to 300 000 cases. In rodents and rabbits, it is as high as 1 in 2-300. Anaesthesia is becoming safer all the time thanks to new drugs and more sophisticated patient monitoring aids, which are becoming more affordable and thus more widely used in veterinary practice. The single most important factor in keeping your pet safe during its anaesthetic is the qualified veterinary nurse, whose observation skills and anaesthetic techniques are second to none. They will be monitoring your pet before, during and after the procedure. They will be aided by gadgets like: pulse oximetry, measuring oxygen saturation; capnography, measuring carbon dioxide and lung respiratory function; and oesophageal stethoscope to measure heart rate and rhythm if the chest is covered. facebook.com/theivybridgemagazine

FOR QUALITY AND RELIABILITY As soon as your pet has been admitted in the morning, he/she will be examined physically, weighed and put in the kennels or cattery with a clean, soft, deep bed. Rabbits have hay, straw, dandelions, food and water throughout and are out of sight of predators. The nurse will check with a vet and administer a premedication to your pet, which contains pain relief and a sedative. This makes for a balanced anaesthetic and a comfortable recovery. Long operations and bitch spays will have an intravenous catheter put in and the anaesthetic will be introduced via a leg vein, the pet being gently held close to the nurse’s body. Recovery should be calm, gentle, warm and the nurse will stay with your pet until the endotracheal tube has been removed and your pet can breathe by themselves. He will have a heat pad in the cage and be wrapped in blankets. Once further recovered, it will be offered food and water and walked outside to go to the toilet. His analgesia may be topped up if necessary and his medications prepared to come home. By the time you see your friend again, late afternoon, he will be clean, waggy tailed and pulling to greet you. Full post-operative instructions will be given along with any necessary medications, dressings and instructions on wound interference prevention. Personally, I had a great anaesthetic and recovery. Apparently, I tried to jump off the trolley and say that it was OK, and “I’m going home now”! I had to be gently, but firmly, restrained as I started bleeding and wasn’t ‘with it’ at all. I am pleased to say that I bit no one! Woodlands Veterinary Group is on Cornwood Road, Ivybridge, and offers a friendly veterinary service for all your pets. See their advert on page 4.

PROMOTION PUSH STILL ON l cricket

BOTH SENIOR teams of Ivybridge Cricket Club are handily placed to challenge for promotion as the season moves into its second half. The 1st XI lie fourth and the 2nd XI second in their respective divisions, and are very much in the mix. The club is also well placed to qualify for the semi finals of the Plymouth 20/20 competition and the 1st XI progressed to the next round of the Devon Corinthian Cup after winning a nail-biter against Stoke Gabriel by 6 runs. June was an historic month for the club with the completion of the clubhouse extension. This includes an electronic scoreboard, additional storage space and a fantastic patio viewing area for spectators and visitors. Filham Park also played host to Devon Under 13s when they played Gloucestershire U 13s, with Devon running out comfortable winners by 6 wkts. This was the first Devon representative fixture held at ICC since the move to Filham Park,

ATHLETES FROM Erme Valley Harriers have produced many outstanding performances in recent races. At the Muskies Madness – a 5.5 mile undulating multi-terrain course – there were many successes, with Matt Brown 4th overall and 3rd senior man, Mike Hansen 1st male vet 55, while Russ Mogridge was 1st male vet 50. Cleo Andrews was 1st female vet 40 and 3rd female overall, and along with Sarah Hirons and Sam Perry, the 1st ladies team. The Harriers had only one athlete competing in the extremely demanding 32-mile Dartmoor Discovery. Emma Lake performed well, finishing in 28th place overall in a time of 4.43.26 and 2nd female vet 35. At the Plymn Valley Challenge 34

Ken Summers was 2nd male vet 60, while Linda Bracher was 2nd female vet 45 and Mandy Plummer 3rd female vet 45. The most popular event was an evening 10k race at Clevedon, near Bristol. A coach tip was arranged, with many outstanding performances in good running conditions on a ‘flat’ course. Allister Bristow was 6th overall in

Vets’ Open

ONE HUNDRED and six ambitious and determined seniors of all ages, abilities and sizes, from Devon, Cornwall and Scotland teed off to contest the Wrangaton Vets’ Open at the end of May. Scoring a very respectable 30 points on his first ever visit to Wrangaton, Robbie Gibson, from Dumfries, clearly inspired his playing partners. Tony Dardis scored a magnificent 40 points off his hugely impressive seven handicap. In fact, 40 points was the magic figure achieved by just five competitors. Divided into four divisions, everybody had the chance to grab one of the 16 generous prizes. Results: Home Division 1: Tony Dardis 40pts, Roger Cockings 37pts, Julian Mitchell 37pts, Pete Bryant 35pts. Home Division 2: Alan Wheeler 40pts, Ron Cooper 40pts, Robin Davies 35pts, Mike Roberts 35pts. Visitors’ Division 1: Pat Crane (Weymouth) 40pts, Richard Bays (The Warren) 40pts, Nigel Broadbent (Exminster) 37pts, Geof Thom (Dinnaton) 37pts. Visitors’ Division 2: Paul Blay 37pts, David Wilkes 36pts, Roy Noble 32pts, Brian Armstrong 32pts. 2nd female vet 40. Erme Valley Harriers won the 1st ladies team made up of Andrews, Thorn and Jaine Swift. Ken Summers set a new male vet 60 club record, breaking Steve Watson’s record set in 2011 by half a minute. Well done as well to Sam Perry and Ruth Terry, who both achieved personal best times.
