TET Trust Boost To Health Trust (Marie Pearce)
The recently established Inglewood District Health Trust, began as a community
nursing service in 1994 with the aim of making sure the Inglewood Community had
services in their home when needed. The nursing service faced a financial crisis
recently, but with the formation of the new trust and the fantastic response from
the Inglewood Community the service can continue.
The Taranaki Electricity Trust has now presented the Inglewood District Health
Trust with a cheque for $50.000. The Inglewood District Health Trust wishes to
thank Rotary, Lions and the Inglewood Community for their generous support.
Further information can be obtained from Dr Diane Jones 7567777.

Editor’s Comments
Shade-by the River
The council is about to embark on
what is named the Long Term Plan.
This is the framework and strategy
which will be used to guide your
community through the next 10
years. The plan is put together
after the views of the community
have been listened to.
So make sure you have your say
when the opportunity is made
available. One of these is a get
together at the Town Hall on the
20th of May.
Remember this is the community
that you, your children and grand
children live in.
If you don’t shape it the way you
want it, someone else will shape it
for you and maybe not to your
liking. Be there!!!

We have just celebrated ‘Mothers’ Day’.
With meals out and presents for mothers and
often grandmothers these days. It has become a
real commercial event far from its early
beginnings years ago.
In England when I was young I don’t remember it
being so present-orientated, it was a church
occasion called ‘Mothering Sunday’. The children
took posies of flowers which were blessed by the
vicar and then presented to our mothers. Quite
neat; eh?
With these thoughts in mind, I decided to do a bit
of research. The whole idea started back in the
16th Century and on the fourth Sunday during
Lent, just three weeks before Easter Sunday, most
people went ‘a-mothering’. That is, they went
back to their mother church. Domestic servants
were given the day off so that they could observe
this traditional practice. Over the years it seemed
to lose its appeal and observance of Mothering
Sunday almost died out. It was in the early part of
the last century that it was revived and then later
the English merchants cashed in a bit and started
to make ‘Mothers’ Day’ what it is today.
So many of the church festivals have lost a lot of
their religious background and they have become
an excuse for another holiday, and another
excuse for the commercial process of building up
bigger and bigger presents, and eating out.
I often wonder what the future holds and what
will be happening in another fifty years from now.
I suppose it is really imponderable and some of us
will never see it, anyway.

Ricki Herbert Football Academy (Claire Gower)
During the school holidays, Inglewood AFC hosted the Ricki Herbert Football Academy. Clive
Herbert (Ricki’s Father) ran the Waterbuddies course for 5-7 year olds where the children learnt
how to do headers, turns, and other football skills. The children that participated in this all enjoyed
themselves and are excited about their up and coming season. They received a Waterbuddies
football on completion of this 2 day course. Waterbuddies also supplied them with drinks each day.
Kale Herbert and Mike Boardman from RHFA ran the youth course, along with Ricki Herbert. This
was a 3 day academy, with all facets of
football covered. It was a great course
to start the season off with. From this academy Ricki
and his coaches spotted 2 players that will now be
travelling to Australia with RHFA in July for a
tournament. On the last day a tournament was held
with all youth players. The winning youth team then
played the coaches and parents. This was a fun
afternoon where children could show off their new
skills they had learnt. Ricki also took the Ancorloc
Inglewood Premier Team for a 2 hour personal
training session, as a thank you to the club for hosting
them. The players enjoyed this opportunity and
experience.

Gardening Clues (With Sue From Hammer)
Autumn is ‘nature’s planting time’ and to get the most
from your efforts in the garden it is essential to
replenish your soil with nutrients used in previous
growing seasons.
Use
Cover
Crops,
also
known
as
‘green manure
crops’, cover
crops such as
Mustard Seed
and Lupin can be planted in autumn in rested garden beds, to replenish soil
nutrients in time for spring. Cover crops should be cut down and
incorporated into the soil prior to flowering and when stems are still green
and soft, around August.
Replenish lost nutrients in your garden this season by
incorporating Organic Compost into existing soil. The
combination of organic matter, blood and bone, and
added gypsum in Tui Organic Compost conditions soil
and promotes enhanced plant performance. Tui Organic
Compost can also be used to improve soil structure by
enhancing drainage in clay soil and increasing water
holding capacity in sandy soil. Tui Garden Mix is a staple
for your garden shed! This versatile, organic based mix is
ideal for planting trees (including new season fruit trees),
shrubs, annuals and perennials into. The combination of
high analysis fertilisers contained in Tui Garden Mix
reduces transplant shock, encourages quick
establishment of plants, and root growth.
The healthy additions of blood and bone, sheep pellets,
and trace elements, condition the soil whilst correcting
any soil deficiencies.
Supercharge your soil with Tui Super Sheep Pellets. This high quality blend of natural sheep pellets and Nitrophoska
Blue compound fertiliser will give your garden an instant boost, while naturally conditioning the soil. Tui Super
Sheep Pellets can be used in all areas of the garden, dug in prior to planting, or applied as a side dressing to care for
existing trees, shrubs, perennials, annuals, roses, flowers and vegetables in your garden. The pellets break down
over time when water is added, drawing organic matter back to the soil to be used during the growing process.
A trusted product by many gardeners, Blood & Bone is an organic, multi-purpose garden fertiliser. It is completely
natural and can be applied either before planting, or as a
side dressing to existing plants in your garden. Blood &
Bone will improve soil structure and replenish elements
taken from the soil by plants during the growing process.

The proceeds of the Federation raffle enabled them to give 150 pairs of pyjamas for the

how Methanex give $400 for every accident free day and have donated hundreds of

Guest Speaker was David Hunger from Stratford (President Nola’s nephew), who told
of his experiences while working on houses for
“Habitat for Humanity”. Two series of six
weeks on two houses at a time, all voluntary
work under the supervision of a builder – Ian
Cheyne. Each family has to put in 500 hours
of “sweat equity”, these projects being a hand up not a hand out. Their
rent money is counted in their deposit. All houses are exactly the same.
The scheme began 20 years ago in Taranaki and there are now 32 homes.
Raffle: won by Maureen Bunn. Competition Results: Letter A: Betty

Creepy Crawlies at the Library (KR)
The second week of school holidays was a busy time in the
Library with a group of children using their creativity to paint
wooden creepy crawlies and bugs, these were meticulously
handmade by one of our special customers Mr Mann, who
donates wooden crafts for our library’s children’s enjoyment.
The children put a great deal of effort and thought into their

Is It Time To Upgrade Inglewood
Children’s Playground? (Jean Walsh)
I believe that it is time for the children’s playground
next to the swimming pool to have an upgrade.
It is widely used by little children, but there is little
or nothing there that would challenge any child
over 7 years of age.
In saying that it does get a lot of use by the child
care centre (under 5’s) and my great grandchildren
(under 8’s).
I recently stopped at Oamaru’s children’s
playground, and what a difference. It had a fireman’s

pole at least twice as high as the Inglewood one.
An equally high slide with a challenging platform
to climb before you could use it and a large
barrel that you walked on and turned at whatever
speed you could manage without going anywhere.
Our park needs something for children in the
older age group. The skateboard park is well
used, but it is a very poor version of a skateboard
park, we need one after the lines of the one at
Egmont Village School.
Lastly we need toilets for the little folk especially.
I live opposite the park and have had parents
bring their kiddies in to use the toilet. The small
fry just go behind trees when nature calls.

The Life Of A Rogue Navy Steward
(Peter Hamilton)
Tich, The Life of a Rogue Naval Steward is a story about
the life and times of local Peter Hamilton’s life in the navy.
Peter joined the Navy in 1957 at the age of eighteen just in
time to witness the Christmas Island Atomic tests.
While training on the Naval base, Tamaki, Peter became a marksman. He had joined as a steward but hated this, so
spent the next eight years volunteering for absolutely anything other than a steward. In the Malayan emergency
Peter was drafted to the Marines for a special operation, as he was a marksman, also small ratings were wanted.
Peter was on the same ship which went down to the Antarctic where he recollects that the seas were such that
the ship spent more time under water than on top. Peter is also an accomplished artist and presently has an
exhibition ‘Through A Sailors Eyes’ in the TART Gallery running until the 22nd of May.

Slow Down
As of Monday 5 May the speed limit along Kelly Street outside the Primary School is now
a 40kmh variable speed limit zone.
LED signs with the figure “40” along with four orange lights will flash when the speed
zone is in operation. The entrance to the school is located on the outside of a horizontal
curve and is not immediately obvious to approaching traffic. Drivers need to take note of
the new speed limit and slow down, there are small children travelling to and from school
and safety is a priority.

After hearing about the SPCA's need for kitten

fundraising to buy food for the large number of

moment.
To add to their pocket money, the girls made arts

before heading along to the SPCA with several bags
of food.
