32EASTRY PARISH COUNCIL

CHAIRMAN’S LETTERDear All,It is my great pleasure to have this opportunity to write to you as the newChairman of Eastry Parish Council and to sincerely thank Cllr Sam Shevdefor his stalwart work during his term as Chairman. Sam will continue totake a prominent role as my Vice-Chairman and Chairman of the PlanningCommittee.The recent local elections have enabled three new Parish Councillors to beadded to our ranks: they are Cllrs Gavin Bury, Martin Kemp and Mike West.I would like to publicly welcome them to the Council and I very much lookforward to working with them.Unfortunately we have also seen the retirement from office of Iris Mollartwho, as many of you will know, has made an immeasurable contribution tothe work of the Parish Council over many years. I am sure you will join withme in wishing her a very long and happy retirement from public office. Iriswill, however, continue with her other activities and interests around Eastry.The Parish Council has many tasks facing it during the coming months,within the strict limitations of our remit, and hope that you will bear with uswhile we address various issues around the village on your behalf. Wehope to keep you all advised of our work via Notice Boards, Eastry VillageNews and, most importantly, via the Parish Council website; which isupdated with the latest news and information, often on a daily basis. Thewebsite has been well received and regularly receives around 70 “hits” perday. Please take a look at the vast amount of information available byentering www.eastrypc.co.uk in your web browser. We hope you will bepleasantly surprised!Although Parish Councils are the lowest tier of Local Government, we oftenenter into close collaboration with both Dover District Council and KentCounty Council in order to discuss and put to them the views, hopes andaspirations of our parishioners. A recent development in this area was theestablishment of the Sandwich Neighbourhood Forum in which we activelytake part. These meetings are open to the public and you are mostwelcome to come along and air your views on a whole range of topics.The most recent meeting was regarding Highways, often a “hot topic” withresidents; and this last meeting was certainly no exception! Along withDistrict Cllr Nick Kenton I was able to express the grave concerns we haveregarding speeding through the village to the Chairman of Kent CountyCouncil, Councillor Leyland Ridings; the Divisional Manager of Kent High-ways Services, Mr Matthew Sims and the Manager of Parking Enforcementfor DDC. We managed to gain an assurance from Mr Sims that ourconcerns would be further investigated and the speed control systems wehave been seeking for a number of years would be seriously considered,subject to economic considerations. Our concerns regarding speeding andindiscriminate and illegal parking have also been expressed to the policeon several occasions and we hope to receive their full support also.A new working party has been formed to take day-to-day control of TheParade Project. With exciting new plans already in place the working party

is currently investigating various funding options for the project which,when complete, will improve the pedestrian area fronting the shops andgive Eastry an attractive, feature landscaped area in the centre of thevillage: one which we can all be proud of for generations to come. We hopeto enlist the support of local shops, businesses and the school, in additionto the public, in various ways over the next year or so.In the course of the next few months the Chairmen of the Parish Council’svarious committees will each be submitting articles to the Eastry VillageNews to explain and expand upon the often unsung, unpaid work whichthey do in and around the village for the benefit of all our residents. Thefirst of these articles will be the opportunity for Cllr Sandra Hooper, Chair-man of the Allotments and Leisure Committee, to describe the valuablework they do.My most sincere best wishes to you all.

Chairman, Eastry Parish CouncilJuly 2007

THE RECTOR'S LETTER7

A PRAYER FOR St. Thomas (3rd July)Most Gracious God,Who, for the firmer foundation of our faith,Allowed your holy Apostle ThomasTo doubt the resurrection of your Son,Till word and sight convinced him,Grant to us who have not seen that we also maybelieve and confess Jesus as our Lord and Saviour,

Who is alive and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God forever and forever, AMEN.Dear Friends,First of all, may I thank Liz Kinns and all those who arranged, took part in,and came to the Barn Dance. It was such an enjoyable occasion, and weall had great fun. I hope the event can continue to be a regular feature inour yearly calendar.As I write this letter in the middle of June, we are looking forward to theBenefice Picnic on 17th June at Tilmanstone, and of course the EastryChurch Fete, on 21st July, with the added attractions this year of theBetteshanger Brass Band, Bill Barnacle’s Jazz Band, East Kent MorrisMen, Magic tricks, Punch and Judy for the children, and many otherattractions, plus the Grand Draw, Games, Stalls and fun for all the family.Our thanks to Carole Finch and the Parish Events committee, and allothers who help in any kind of way to give us such enjoyable times.This year we have the special attraction of the Fete being opened byGillingham football team members. In addition they will have a kick-aboutwith children for a small donation, and signed footballs will also be on offer.I know that many of you will soon be preparing for your holidays. But forothers, when holiday time comes, it may be a time of anxiety whilst thefamily is out of reach or travelling. Above all, July and August is a time torelax and spend time with your families, as indeed I shall do during myholiday.In that relaxation, may we all think of that other family, our Christian familyto which we all belong, and ask ourselves what our part is, what ourministry in that family means, and where we as a church are being led, inour worship, prayer, children’s work, outreach, and other ways in which theHoly Spirit prompts us to go forward. I do hope that you also will be thinkingand praying in this, so that refreshed we may go forward with new energiesand hope in the autumn.Later this year, there are concerts, Harvest Festival, and lots to lookforward to –so please look at the list of events on the notice board and theweekly news sheet. Whilst I do understand that some social functions,certain forms of worship, concerts, fetes, may not be everyone’s cup of tea,nevertheless being part of our church fellowship really depends on whatwe put into it. A fellowship is surely begun with some kind of interaction withone another, and with a loving God, who sent Jesus to guide us that wemay have life in all its fullness.Best wishes for the new term, and Anne & I wish you a very happy holiday.Yours in Christ.

It was on the beach at Sandwich BayI watched him strutting up anddown,His muscles glistening in the Sun,All tanned and golden brown.LIFEGUARD printed on his trunks,And bulging at the seams,Cor! He could rescue me I thought,This man– by any means.I sat there with my low-fat cake,And can of Diet-Coke,But I couldn’t take my eyes off,This Rambo looking bloke,Now I’d worn my woollie cardi,To protect me from the heat,And I’d left my shoes and socks on,‘Cos the pebbles hurt my feet.Naughty thoughts came in my head,And wouldn’t go away,To have a kiss-of-life from him,Would really make my day.Then desperation gripping me,And surging through my bones,Just like a heated Stallion,

I started kicking at the stones.Then with no hint or warning,And as if I were possessed,I started stripping of my clothes,Well–right down to my vest.I would hobble down into the sea,And give a mighty shout,But what I hadn’t bargained for,The blooming tide was out.Further and further I waded in,The Sun was getting to my head,I must have been hallucinating,‘Cos a mirage stood ahead.I’m sure it was a Viking Ship,Not too far away,Suddenly it dawned on me,I’d drifted out to Pegwell Bay.My dreams of being rescued,Have completely gone adrift,As I stand here naked as anewborn,And trying to hitch a lift.

Eastry Women's InstituteI had originally thought to start this report with talk of the WI ladyin the Big Brother house, but after watching some of it decidedagainst it. She seemed very nice, but it was pretty obvious to methat she was a normal WI lady, and so not the angle I wantedto take.I was hoping she would be a member of one of the new LondonWIs, as recently detailed in a Sunday supplement. These newWIs have many expected aspects of the WI in place, such as jam

making and cooking, but also do more unusual events such as bellydancing. In the words of these WIs – it’s like a Skoda, people still see thebadge and hark back to the past, instead of looking at the present andseeing the differences. So after much deliberation I thought I would stick towhat I know best and write about Eastry WI.We are fortunate to have ladies ranging across six decades–our youngestmember being about thirty, and our oldest ninety. This means we have abroad range of interests and personalities and fun. With such a variety ofexperiences comes a wealth of talent, knowledge and warmth–not that weall cook or sew–some people have talents lying elsewhere. We haveartists, poets and story writers, as well as cooks, knitters and seamstress-es. It’s like a packet of Smarties–if you opened them and found out theywere all the same colour, which was your favourite, it would be nice, butafter a while pretty boring.In that respect, we have started talking about next year’s program and arehoping to fill it with a wide variety of speakers and events that will hopefullyentertain, inspire and dare. I say it to tempt you to come along and visit us.On top of the normal run of events we are also looking to take part in theWI carbon challenge, where we are to try and cut down on our WI carbonfootprint. I think we are off to a pretty good start as we don’t use unneces-sary packaging on our cakes and they are locally produced, our membersbake them, and we have car sharing.For more information please contact either myself Shani Barwick or CaroleWillis, our president:

St. Mary’s ChurchPathfinders and Explorers News

June began with a family service to celebrate Pentecost. We took chargeof handing out the books, saying the prayers, reading from the bible; andmost importantly we acted out the Pentecost reading for the congregation.This involved lots of running up and down the aisles and shouting – greatfun and the congregation enjoyed it too! During the month we have alsomade Sand Castles, created Mustard Monsters and used a Prayer Tree tocelebrate and pray for our Dads.There will be lots of things happening in July, including the Annual Prize-giving on 15th July, and the Summer Party on 22nd July (which is our finalsession for the term). We welcome any children who wish to come alongon 8th, 15th or 22nd July. Sunday Club resumes for the autumn on 9th

DISTRICT COUNCIL PLANNING MEETINGThursday 19th July at 6pm in the council chambers at Whitfield.The agenda is published on the council website www.dover.gov.ukone week before the meeting

RECYCLING COLLECTIONSBLACK BOX: Mondays 9th, 23th July; 6th, 20th AugustGREEN WASTE : Wednesdays 4th , 18h July; 1st, 15th August

There has been a lot of publicity in the press recently about recycling andhow some authorities have introduced fortnightly collections as a way ofincreasing recycling rates.At Dover District Council we have resisted such a move as we believe thatour programme is a more sustainable way. We are steadily increasing ourrecycling rate, doubling it in the last two years. Furthermore we areproviding a quality recycling output as evidenced by the recent award thecouncil won from the Aylesford Newspaper Mills.Our Kerbside Black box scheme ensures that the paper we deliver is thehighest quality recycling in Kent.Furthermore we will keep our weekly collections to dispose of waste whichmay produce foul odours, particularly during the warmer months.We would like to thank our residents for their assistance in helping toensure that Dover’s recycling is setting the standard for the rest of Kent.We will continue to expand our recycling, but only when we are sure that itis sustainable and is for the benefit of residents and the environment.We wish all our residents a safe time over the summer holiday period.

EASTRY TWINNING ASSOCIATION Website: www.eastrytwinning.co.uk

On Friday,11th May, twenty-fourheavily armed twinners left thesafety of our village redoubt to bravethe Chunnel and from there to pro-ceed to that bastion of hospitality,Longpré-les-Corps-Saints.On arrival we stormed their town halland were met with a barrage of Gal-lic kisses. We responded with asalvo of handshakes and a volley ofsmiles. They counter-attacked withdrinks and cake.Then came the risky stratagem ofdeploying the tactical unclearpresents. The French got in first andfired a superb silk print across ourright flank. We rallied and launcheda Dave Chisholm cartoon that sentthem reeling. Honours drawn, werepaired to our bivouacs to rechargeour batteries for the challenges thatundoubtedly lay ahead of us.The Saturday dawned fine butwindy. The Longiprats sought to gainthe advantage by splitting our forces.Our beguiling French guides led us amerry dance around the villages andvalleys of Picardy and the Bay of theSomme. Enthralled as we were bythe scenes that we saw, we neverlost sight of the battle that lay ahead– the infamous country dancing.Dispersed during the day we mighthave been, but Eastryites wouldhave been proud of the manoeuvres,so skilfully executed, that brought usback into fighting formation at theLongpré village hall that night. How-ever, prior to H-hour, fifth columnistsplied us with tasty victuals and infer-nal concoctions in order to weakenour morale. Some indeed did suc-cumb to these oh-so-French wilesand these were declared hors decombat – no names, no pack drill.Therefore, with our forces somewhatweakened, we took to the field. The

Longiprats had chosen the terrainwell and had the advantage of freshreinforcements – a very competentregiment of professional musiciansand dancers. Undismayed, and rely-ing on our training and discipline, weengaged the French in a series ofmerciless mêlées. We refused todance to their tune, and so confusedourselves as much as them that,despite some solo heroic efforts onour part, each side finally retired fromthe field in a state of honourable ex-haustion.Sunday dawned overcast and driz-zly. Suffering from the after-effects ofthe previous day’s exertions, butarmed to the teeth with our trustyboules, we went on the piste at 1000hours. However, this was when wefinally met our Waterloo.Thoughtless of any collateral dam-age, the Longiprats deployed theirBMD (boules of mass destruction).We mounted a determined resist-ance and suffered numerous casual-ties, some, it has to be said, as aresult of friendly fire. Eventually con-ceding defeat, we beat a tactical re-treat and fought a rearguard action ina nearby hostelry.Later that afternoon, after an armi-stice had been negotiated, our strag-glers, looking surprisingly refreshedand in good spirits, regrouped at thedesignated embarkation point. Weboarded our transport, and, as wedeparted, the mischievous Lon-giprats taunted us with blood-cur-dling cries of l’année prochaine. Withour upper lips as stiff as ever, wemanaged some courageous smilesand in due course took our leave ofthem, thinking to ourselves all thetime, “Yes, next year. Next year it willbe our turn!”

DID YOU KNOW THAT EASTRY RETAINED FIRE STATION IS NOW PART OF ACO–RESPONDER SCHEME FAST RESPONDING LOCALLY TO CERTAIN 999 CALLSFOR THE AMBULANCE SERVICE?Bryan Cope, Chairman of the Kent & Medway Towns Fire Authority,officially launched the scheme on 30th May at the fire station. The schemehas however been running since 26th April.The ambulance co-responder scheme involves ten fire fighters that havevolunteered for the role, trained by the South East Coast Ambulance Trustin basic life support, being called out to 999 ambulance calls to carry outvital life support treatment before the ambulance arrives on scene.To help illustrate the scheme there are a few questions and answers below.So how will it work?Two fire fighters will fast respond to certain 999 calls whilst an ambulanceis on route.Will they arrive in the fire engine?No, they will be using a red fire car with blue lights and a siren that hasbeen specifically provided.What training have the fire fighters had?The fire fighters have been trained to the standards of the South EastCoast Ambulance Trust by an ambulance paramedic in basic life support,which includes cardio-pulmonary resuscitation CPR, Oxygen therapy andthe use of a defibrillator.How will I recognise them?Eventually they will be wearing red overalls, marked with AmbulanceCo-Responder & Kent Fire and Rescue Service.What area will be covered?The stated area is a five-kilometre radius from the fire station. To dateincidents in Ash, Betteshanger, Eastry, Sandwich and Staple have beenresponded to. So it is safe to say that Eastry and all of the surroundingParish’s will be covered.What happens if there is a fire call at the same time?On the very rare occasions this could happen the fire call will take priority.Eastry Fire Station joins the following fire stations that are already success-fully running the scheme Dymchurch, Edenbridge, Hoo and Paddock Wood.For further information contact Kevin Deveson, Watch Manager, atEastry Fire Station on 07879 848746 or 01304 617799 on Wednesday'sbetween 7:00pm and 9:00pm.

July is another rewarding month for us, as we reap the benefits ofour hard work. Down in the vegetable garden we can start lifting ourearly Carrots, early Potatoes and start picking the French Beanswhilst they are still young and tender. Continue picking BroadBeans, Peas and keep on top of cutting your Courgettes whilst theyare young, otherwise they will quickly turn into Marrows!

Make another sowing of Lettuce ready for cutting in the Autumn. Cut off potatohaulms if there is any signs of blight. Plant early Spring Cabbage plants, winterhardy Cauliflower and mid-season Brussel Sprout plants. Its very important tokeep the hoe moving, don't let any of the weeds set flowers, otherwise their seedwill be next years weeds, always remember:

Cut aThistle in May, it will be back the next day,Cut aThistle in June, it will be back soon,Cut a Thistle in July, it will surely die.

Prune Cordon Gooseberries, Red Currants, Apples and Pears. Prune early varietiesof Raspberries and tie in new canes for fruiting next year. Protect Autumn fruitingRaspberries and Strawberries from birds. Begin harvesting winter planted Onionsand Shallots, lay them out to dry in a warm airy position. Continue to controlCabbage White butterflies.Trim Conifer, Yew and Laurel hedges, cut back those that have reached therequired height. Continue to feed plants in pots, containers and baskets with a highpotash feed. Deadhead Roses, annuals and herbaceous perennials, unless you wishto save the seed from them. Cut back hard any perennials that have finishedflowering, feed them and they will possibly give you another flush of flowers laterin the season.Ventilate greenhouses as much as possible. Pick Tomatoes as they ripen andremove lower leaves to allow good ventilation around the plants. Continue feedingwith a high potash feed at least once a week. Pinch the tips out of the plants assoon as you have four or five trusses to encourage fruiting and the ripening of theTomatoes.There is a simple, old trick that can help you to preserve any flowers to which youmay have made a sentimental attachment, (e.g. a wedding or funeral bouquet orany particular flower that you love in your garden, or even a bunch thrown to youon stage after a stirring performance at the Eastry Village Hall). Put some dry sandin a shallow box, lay the flowers on it and completely cover them with more sand.Leave in a warm cupboard or on a sunny window sill above a radiator for a coupleof weeks, after which they will be completely dry and preserved in their originalshape. Go on give it a try.July can often be the hottest month of the year, but please do not be tempted towater your lawn. A well-watered lawn will look great for a week or two, but youwill have created a rod for your own back, because it will start to expect anotherdousing. Grass is a tough plant and can survive up to eight months without rain.Apart from that, unless you are using grey water you could be breaking the law!As part of gardening, it's essential that you take time out to enjoy your garden, soafter a hard day, have a nice soak in the bath, then in the cool of the evening taketime to sit in the garden and enjoy what you have created.

Happy GardeningArt E. Choke

CANTERBURY FESTIVAL WILL SOON BE UPON US ONCE MORE.CAN YOU WAIT?

Plans for this autumn's Canterbury Festival (13th to 27th Octo-ber) are already well advanced. Did you hear the St Peters-burg Orchestra last year? Surely it was the highlight to hearsuch a top world-class orchestra play in Canterbury... TheMoscow Radio Symphony is coming this year. As if that is notenough so is the EU Youth Orchestra. Or was your highlightthe fantastic Community Opera, Promised Land? It portrayed

hop-picking and Kentish mining with such emotion and is now available onDVD if you missed it!Of course the Festival is so much more than highbrow classical music, forthe Festival Club rocks into the late evening every night and there weresome very clever even quirky drama shows in the small venues which onlyopen their doors during festival fortnight. 2006's Festival had more events,more of which were sold out and more critical acclaim than ever.A top arts festival like Canterbury's must attract the unusual and encourageus to attend things we have not seen before; to this end the beginnings ofa fringe and the use of smaller venues are important developments.However if you want the pick of tickets when only a few are available it isall the more important to join The Friends and benefit from a PriorityBooking period. The programme will be released to Friends in July so joinnow and have the pick of 2007's events. Contact:
