Ramblings from the Reverend

Rev’d Canon David Child writes

This month I’m again going to tell you a story which I’m sure you all know. It’s a story that Jesus told, the Parable of the Good Shepherd. Please read it right to the end because I’ve again added a twist to it but don’t look at it now! Read it all the way through. The Good Shepherd has 100 sheep. He cares for them all and keeps a very close eye on them. Then one day when he checks out his flock he realises one of them is missing and he soon realizes that it’s a tiny young lamb. So what does he do? He leaves the 99 on the hillside and searches every crag, every hill, and every valley until he finds it. He puts it over his shoulders and carries it gently home and then parties with his friends as he’s so happy. OK so the Good Shepherd looks after the lost sheep but what about the other 99? Doesn’t he care for them? Yet, in another parable Jesus tells his listeners that he is the Gate of the sheep. What did he mean by that? Well during the night the sheep would be penned in for protection. This was usually in a stonewall structure with briars on the top of the wall. The entrance was a single opening. But there was no gate as wood was scarce. So the shepherd would sleep in the gap all night. That way no sheep could wander out, no wolf or thief could sneak in. The shepherd had to be very brave and he really did have to love his sheep. So in the first story Jesus shows he cares for the individual and the second story how Jesus cares for us all. So here’s the twist and here’s the question. What if the shepherd had lost not one sheep out of the 100 but three, a little lamb, a male black sheep and an old fragile ewe. What would the good shepherd do then? My answer, which may not be right is found on another page (6). But don’t look for it now- think about it.

Hello Head Teacher So here we are, a new academic year and a new group of school reporters to bring you the latest news from St. Marys School. The exciting news is we have a new head teacher in school, Mrs Louise Williams. So Year 6 have decided that the best way to get to know her is to interview her. Let’s find out more: How would you describe being a head teacher? It’s the best job in the world; it’s a very busy job but every moment is special. I’m really enjoying getting to know everyone and have been made to feel very welcome. Which school did you work at before ours? Gwernymynydd CP school in Flintshire. It was a smaller school but had the same nurturing family feel about it. If you could choose a subject to teach what would it be? English, I love reading! Tell us an interesting fact about yourself When I was about 10 I was on the TV for a shoe advert. What is your favourite children’s book? The Tiger Who Came To Tea. I love it! If you could invite 3 people to dinner who would they be and why? Taylor Swift [singer] for my daughter, Coutinho [Liverpool football player] for my son and Kate Middleton [Duchess of Cambridge], for myself. I would love to hear all about their lives and their successes. Summer Reading Challenge Year 6 were set a reading challenge over the Summer, to take a photograph ‘extreme reading’; showing that reading can be done anytime and anyplace! Pupils took some great photos which we have enjoyed sharing, as well as discussing the books we have all read over the summer holidays. We could be found ‘extreme reading’ in many places, including: on rollercoasters, upside down, driving the underground tube, playing cricket and even whilst swimming! (see photos on Oracle website) Most of us decided, though, our favourite place to read is tucked up comfortably in bed!

Village Hall News First ly we must explain what happened on the 23rd August when the Wales Blood Service came to Overton. This was their first time in Overton and we were pleased to be able to offer our hall and kitchen to such a wonderful service. They had problems logging in to their information server when they arrived. Our connections in the hall were poor. The donors who had morning appointments were delayed, but were able to give blood. What happened next was unbelievable. Our famous sprung dance floor caused the digital blood weight monitors to trip-out every time someone walked down the hall. This was so disruptive that the evening session had to be cancelled. So our apologies to those brave people who turned up and were unable to give their pint of blood. Our thanks to the community gardeners for making the outside of the village hall look so colourful. You have received so many compliments. We are going to market the garden of the hall for outdoor events, mainly daytime gatherings and parties. We have a smart new permanent wooden gazebo that can be used as an outdoor kitchen. Why not come and have a look. The garden is now safely enclosed. There will be a new fence down the right hand side of the hall to help with security issues. We are constantly looking to improve the facilities and always have a plan of maintenance and repairs to complete. We always aim to use our local tradesmen and we appreciate their commitment to helping the Trustees to fulfill their responsibilities.

Upgrading the Public Toilets Approval has been received from WCBC for OCC to ugrade the public toilets. Overton Community Council is going to hold a Public Consultation on the upgrade of the Public Toilets, which are situated on the public car park behind the Doctor's Surgery. Two drop-ins will be held in the Village Hall, one on Saturday October 7th and one on Saturday October 21st, both from 10am until 12 noon and we would like as many members of the community as possible to attend. We will show you what we are intending to do to ugrade the toilets, the approximate cost, and we are going to offer you a couple of choices:- Option 1 - We could tidy up the outside of the toilet building, replace the metal grille with bi-folding doors and refurbish the inside of the building. Option 2 - We could tidy up the outside of the building, replace the flat roof with a new pitched roof, replace the metal grille with bi-folding doors and refurbish the inside of the building. These toilets belong to you, the community of Overton. Please take pride in this ownership and please make an effort to attend one of the advertised drop-in’s. Cllr Pene Coles

Walter Jackson 1882 – 1917 This month is 100 years since the death of another of those remembered on Overton War Memorial, Walter Jackson. Walter was born in Huyton near Liverpool, the son of a Paint Manufacturer. His parents Edward and Elizabeth had 8 children (Walter was the 3rd oldest) but were wealthy enough to employ 2 nurses for the children, a cook, a housemaid and a parlour maid. By 1901 the family had moved, as many affluent Liverpool families did, to the Wirral and were living with servants at Hoscote Park, West Kirby in a house with a view of the Dee estuary. And by 1911 they had a house in Hoylake. Walter was still at home but working as a “Clerk in African trade” possibly at the Port of Liverpool building at Pier Head. He may have then moved to work in Leeds as when war broke out he joined the 7th Battalion of the West Yorkshire Regiment, known as the Leeds Rifles. When war broke out his parents Edward and Elizabeth moved away from the coast to live at Ivy Cottage, (now called Ty Gwernen, Bangor Rd) Overton. Walter was promoted to Second Lieutenant and in 1917 his battalion was part of the Third Battle of Ypres. The campaign finally came to a close in November with the capture of Passchendaele. But on the 9th October Walter was killed. He has no grave but his name is commemorated on Panel 42 of the Tyne Cot Memorial in Belgium, which also bears the names of almost 35,000 officers and men whose graves are not known. Walter Jackson is also remembered on Overton War Memorial.

Overton Dog Poo Problem The dog poo situation in Overton is getting worse. There is hardly a street in the village that is not affected. It is a while since I wrote in the Oracle regarding this subject. I had hoped that irresponsible dog owners had taken notice of the articles written. I wrote as a keen and active member of 'Keep Wales Tidy' and a dog owner. However since I stopped I have received many complaints of sitings of not just dog poo in the path of pedestrians but bagged dog poo too! So here I am again, this time writing on behalf of Overton Community Council asking you to please consider what you are doing when you leave your dog's excrement on footpaths and pavements allowing people to take it home on shoes and wheels. Please also, if you are good enough to bag the poo, take it home or dispose of it in one of the refuse bins in the village. Thank you in anticipation.

Cllr. Pene Coles

Dear EditorAs a follow up to my article in the July Oracle I would like to say that I was surprised at the positive response I received from a wide age-range of residents, phone & text messages and people telling me they agree with my thoughts on the subject. It was not the 300 signatures the OPP Society collected but enough to suggest that quite a number of the village population think “Affordable Housing Development” in the village would not be harmful. I think the Councils should have a plan for this with a Developer/Housing Association and have assisted mortgage facilities that seem to be available these days through Housing Associations and the like. The next generation deserve it. They haven’t had the

opportunities we had. L.B.Hamlington

The American Hospitals of the Maelor Many may remember the request in the September 2015 Oracle asking for information on the US hospitals in this area during World War 2. Our latest book is now published. ‘U.S. Army Hospital Center 804’ tells the story of the 5 U.S. Army hospitals located on the Shropshire/Flintshire border during World War 2 - Llanerch Panna, Penley, Iscoyd Park, Oteley Deer Park and Halston Hall. The two hospitals near Overton (Llanerch Panna and Penley) were the first of the group to be completed and occupied by American military personnel. During 1943 and the early part of 1944 the hospitals acted as medical units for U.S. soldiers training in the area, but after D-Day they received casualties from the combat zone who had travelled by train from ports in the South. Llanerch Panna was built originally to take just over 800 patients while Penley could accommodate around 1000. Due to higher casualty figures than expected it was necessary for both hospitals to extend their capacity by fixing tents onto the ends of wards. The influx of American personnel into the area had a big impact on the surrounding towns. More facilities such as better roads and public utilities such as electricity and sewerage became available to local inhabitants as well as to personnel at the hospitals. On the whole, the new residents were welcomed into the area, particularly by the young ladies and the children. As a youngster, local resident Gordon Richards remembers earning pocket money by running errands for the G.I.s. A number of the female residents succumbed to the charms of the smartly dressed servicemen with the Hollywood accents and as the war progressed there were a number of weddings between local girls and American soldiers. Our book also reports on stories of less savoury liaisons between U.S. servicemen and the local girls. ‘U.S. Army Hospital Center 804’ looks at the day to day activities at the military hospitals using archive material and accounts and previously unpublished photos from those who were there at the time and their relatives. It also looks in depth at the stories of some of the patient-soldiers who passed through the hospitals and examines the impressions of the local area from the personnel staffing the hospitals. The book touches on the impact the occupants of the camps and other U.S. camps in the area, had on the surrounding towns. Signed copies of ‘U.S. Army Hospital Center 804’ are available from the authors at a cost of £12.95 & £2 postage. This can be paid through paypal: [email protected] or by cheque payable to Mrs F.D.

Dear Editor While we congratulate the winners of Overton in Bloom, we wou ld l i ke t o d raw attention to the floral displays around the War Memorial and the Twinning Stone which are donated every year by Paul and Chris Scott-Davies of Eastwick Garden Centre on Ellesmere Road.

‘My answer to the Good Shepherd with the dilemma of three lost sheep’ from Canon David (see page 2) The Good Shepherd treats everyone equally so he can’t give priority to the little lamb, to the black sheep or to the old ewe. So what does he do? He gets in touch with fellow shepherds and borrows their shepherd boys to make an extensive search for all three. Jesus in his early ministry sent his disciples out two by two to the surrounding villages to tell people of the good news he was bringing because he couldn’t cover the whole area himself. Jesus after his death and resurrection ascended into heaven leaving us to finish what He began. God entrusts the world who he loves so much and everyone in it, to our care. There is no-one to do it but us. God encourages us to recognize what’s needed to be done and he encourages us to do it.
