Phillip Has Been Looking After Us For Twenty Years (Vida Harkness) Congratulations Senior Constable Phillip Rowe – 20 years in Inglewood. On 9 October 1995 Phillip joined the Inglewood Police Staff. Now he probably has the distinction as being our longest serving Inglewood policeman. He absolutely loves his time here and that is the reason why he still remains as our policeman. Phillip

has found Inglewood to be a very supportive community and when the occasion arises that he has to put on his “policeman’s face” the majority of the community respect and understand that he is just doing his job. Police do work on roster system but can be on call 24 hrs a day. There have been seven other police serving in Inglewood during his time here. Currently we have Alistair Balsom and Darren Hayes, both who have also completed or nearly completed 10 years’ service in our community. The local Community Policeman no longer walks the beat and as with most professions these days, Community Police now have so much accountability for their time. They are required to do the traffic work and that work is seen as a measurement of productivity!! The area covered by our local Police is quite large, covering Waitara/Mokau to the North; Tariki to the south; Bell Block, Kent Road to the West and Tarata/Purangi to the East. Technology has brought about changes to the job, everything was recorded in triplicate, pencils and notebooks were standard issue but now the iPhone is the norm. The local Police Station has changed in that once what was a cell it is now an exhibit room. Why is he still a policeman? This is a question he has asked himself, it is because he still loves his job – loves meeting people and seeing the goodness in the majority, and because the job is varied from one day to the next. The saddest times of the job are having to deal with the tragedies that do occur in all communities. The scariest moment for him was coming across four terrified kids outside the Vet Group being attacked by a drug-crazed guy with baseball bat who then turned on Phillip, but with the aid of some helpful locals the situation was resolved. Retirement is looming but not just yet. Phillip now has 10 grandchildren and his hobbies include tapestry. Phillip is also currently Chairman of the Inglewood Community Board and a member of the Freemasons Lodge Whangamomona. Above: Phillip Rowe and Alistair Balsom

What a load of rubbish! Or I should say what a debacle this recycling is becoming. We all had our new yellow-lidded recycling bins delivered some weeks ago, and with them came the instruction sheet that sorted out what we should do and not do – well some of it. What’s my collection day? Answer: check the sticker on the bin. Sticker says: Wed. Your first collection week is Blue [Glass]. Collection starts from 1 October – that was a Thursday. Our first collection day comes around on Wednesday 7th October. My first collection is Blue [Glass] so out with the trolley as we are seventy metres from the road and it is too heavy to carry up there. As I arranged it at the kerbside a pleasant young lady, out for her constitutional, came across the road and told me I had got it wrong and it should be the other recyclables. Looking down the street there were quite of number of yellow tops. Back to the computer and check the website. Enter your address; your yellow top bin was the answer. Grab the bin and my trolley and back to the roadside, lining up my bin and removing my blue glass bin. The bin sat there all day and when I went down town just after 5.00 pm there were dozens of them with their lids closed. It appears that the recycling vehicle went through very early and we all missed the boat. I thought that they wanted our recyclables? They are not making it very easy for us, are they? Food for thought, eh?

Sometimes we lose sight of what the important things are. It can be caused by the odd person or group with negative views on life as a whole or something particular that irks them. The reality we live in a great town, in a great province and a great country. Do not let small things distract from the big picture. Where else in this world of ours can you wander around so safely in an environment with all its natural beauty and have all the man made material extras as well. It really is something to value and treasure.

Lately the Inglewood BJJ (Brazilian Jiu Jitsu) Club have been putting Inglewood on the map. A medal haul of two gold, five silver and four bronze at the Manawatu Regional Champs on 7 September saw our competitive team heading off confidently to the Gi Nationals in Auckland two weeks later. Each of the team members competed in their own divisions dependent on their belt and weight. Out of 43 Jiu Jitsu clubs competing at Nationals, our club earned a ranking of 7th in New Zealand in the kids division and 13th overall (including our adults). Results of Gi Nationals: Gold - Courtney Valintine, Silver - Jake White, Maifea Maifea and Robyn Fraser, Bronze - Phoenix Huta and Ruby Dhedadig. Jiu Jitsu is quickly becoming popular around New Zealand as more kids are taking up the “gentle martial art”. The sport is based around close contact to submit your opposition in a series of holds and moves. There is no kicking and punching (MMA) but it is excellent in promoting discipline and self defense. The club trains on Mondays 5.30 - 6.30 (Kids class), 6.30 - 7.30 pm (Adults), Wednesdays 5.30 - 6.30 (Kids Competition Class), 6.30 - 7.30 pm (Adults) at the Inglewood Fitness Gym. All experience, ages and skills are welcome. Free on the first night to come along and have a go! For more contact Troy Tawhiao 027 5309926 or Maifea Maifea 021 774825.

Bookings now open For Term 4 commencing

Successful 10-10-10 Walk for Kids (Pat Julian)

Inglewood’s Mondo Track saw yet another successful event last Saturday when approx 200 good keen types turned out to support the North Taranaki combined Lions Club 10k fundraising walk for the Hart Walker Foundation. Prominent among the walkers were our local District Councillors Marie Pearce and Richard Jordan supported by their respective families. But perhaps the reason for the walk was epitomised by one of the youngest walkers, a small, obviously handicapped boy, who along with his father gamely took to the track

with his walker before eventually changing back to a wheelchair. Amongst the more flamboyant walkers was Spiderman (alias Dwayne Schimanski) while the junior rugby members who started off carrying one of their team, soon gave up and left their armchair on the side of the track, where it was soon utilized for a photo opportunity

by some of the visiting Lions! Refreshment and entertainment varied from the Mitre 10 Bouncy Castle to a range of refreshments, including a sausage sizzle, coffee, ice cream, mini donuts, and a cookie stall manned by the New Plymouth Koru Lions Club. Thanks to the generosity of local businesses, most of the walkers were able to take home a spot prize and the Hart Walker Foundation will benefit by a substantial donation. Inglewood Lions would like to place on record

their appreciation for assistance received from: Inglewood Athletics (Kelvin Wackrow and Colin Gibbon), TET Stadium Trust, St. John stalwarts (Dr Diane Jones and Jean Dodds), Inglewood First, Moa Mail (Richard and Phillippa), Mitre 10, Taranaki Civil and the Inglewood Business Community.

What a great week of sunshine we have had, the soil is warming up, and you are all busy in your gardens, preparing your vegetable garden beds for planting, and probably have already started planting out. Labour weekend is fast approaching, and we know that signals the time, we can plant tomatoes outside, so are you ready? The better the soil, the better your plants will grow. If you are starting with an existing garden bed dig in organic matter like sheep pellets and Tui Compost to your soil. Then you can add a layer of Tui Tomato Mix, specifically formulated with extra potassium to encourage a plentiful harvest of big juicy fruit. When planting several tomatoes at once, it is just as easy to add a layer of Tui Tomato Mix to the whole area before planting. It’s best practice not to plant your tomatoes in the same spot as last season, or in the same spot as

potatoes were planted as diseases can remain in the soil and affect your new crop. If planting in pots and containers use Tui Tomato Mix. Always water plants well before and after planting. Stake your tomatoes when planting to provide support and avoid damaging the roots later on. As your tomatoes grow, remove the laterals to encourage bigger and better fruit. Laterals are the shoots that grow out from the side of the stem. Feed your plants and they will feed you! Plants use nutrients from the soil as they grow, so replenishing the nutrients ensures your plants grow to their full potential. For tomatoes planted in garden beds feed every four weeks during key growth periods of spring and summer. Use Tui Tomato Food, which is a blend of nitrogen, phosphorus and a generous amount of potassium formulated to promote the growth and fruiting potential of all types of tomatoes. For tomatoes in pots and containers use Tui NovaTec Premium fertiliser. Finally, remember that well watered, well nourished tomatoes will have a better chance of keeping insect pests and diseases at bay.

Home Safety And Security (Claire Butler)

Athletics Season Is Back (Kelvin Wackrow)

Podiatrist To Do Monthly Visits To Inglewood

Taranaki LandGirls invite you to an evening talk on home safety and security, with particular emphasis on the risks that apply in rural and semi-rural situations. Representatives from the New Zealand Fire Service, Neighbourhood Watch and Civil

Defence will share some top tips for keeping you and your property safe and secure. Join us at the Hillsborough Hall (Egmont Road, cnr Henwood Road) from 6.30 pm on Thursday 22 October. $5pp door charge, everybody welcome. RSVP preferred shopkirk@gmail.com, 752 0889.

Inglewood Athletics is back again. As from Wednesday 14 October, the 2015-2016 season will commence. The good news is that subs for this season are similar to last season, one of the cheapest sports in the province and one of the most valuable as a starter for many other sports

codes. Teaching our child how to run correctly is so important, for the numerous sports codes which rely on speed work. The development of skilled movement patterns and correct techniques is so important. The improvement alone is so satisfying for the sportsperson in achieving higher honours. We would love to see you join an “Athletic Club” which has been so large and successful for many years. “Come Give It a Go”

Great response To Blood Pressure Checks (Linda McIntyre)

Page 8 Moa Mail

A big thanks to the voluntary work of Dr Diane Jones and nurses Caitlin, Rosemary, Carol and Grant for their professional services. Over 100 people had their blood pressure checked for free on Saturday 3 October as part of the Stroke

Foundations’ Blood Pressure Awareness campaign. Thank you Inglewood Shoprite for allowing Rotary to organise and base this important community service in the

Shoprite carpark. It was a very windy day and Rotary had to tie everything down to stop it from blown away. Being able to shelter around Graham Meads Motorhome was much appreciated and the cups of tea he provided kept us all going. A small number of people will be visiting their GP’s as a result of the blood pressure checks. Much better to be safe than sorry. The best news is there are lots of people out in the community who have recently had their blood pressure checked either by their own GP or through their workplace. Well done Inglewood – you are in good heart.

Next Crop Swap Saturday 24 October set up: 10.00 am, Swap start 10.30 am, finish around 11.30 am. Contact Jayne on 756 6192.

Crop Swap (Jayne Bright)

Once again another great turnout of over 50 people (can’t call them members as we had a good number of the general public attend – hopefully they may decide that Inglewood First

is worth paying the annual subscription of $25.00 and become financial members) for the monthly IA5 which was kindly hosted by Kelly and Bridget from the Inglewood Public Library and Service Centre. Kelly who has now been at the Library for over 19 years, gave a power point presentation which highlighted all the different services we can access here in Inglewood. There was a very good applause for all the librarians who work at the Inglewood Library including Heidi and Dallas – everyone was in agreement that they are all very friendly and helpful. Bridget told us that the Inglewood Library has the most books issued per capita out of all the libraries in North Taranaki. Well done again Inglewood. The advertising voucher, presented by Sarah-Kate Thompson of NZME (The Hits) of $750 was won by Cameron Gillespie representing the Inglewood Volunteer Fire Brigade. Cameron intends using the prize to advertise for more local volunteers for our Fire Brigade. Catering was done by Oscars Kiwi Kafe – ‘Top tucker’ Craig and staff.

Relax And Unwind With Your Preschooler (Nicola Ekdahl)

Relax, unwind, preschooler…..now those are three words which do not ordinarily go together! Egmont Village Play Group however, is a place for your preschooler to play amidst a relaxed, safe and fun environment

whilst you enjoy a cup of tea or coffee and have a good old natter to a bunch of other local parents and caregivers. The play group commences every Tuesday morning during the school term from 9.15 am and finishes 11-11.30 am. All children and their families or caregivers are welcome; from babies through until school age. The play group is held in the Egmont Village Community Centre, which is next to Egmont Village School on Egmont Road. Therefore in addition to our own inter-web of outdoor activities ranging from the sandpit to carts to forts, we can also take advantage of the school’s adjacent environment too…but although your child will find play group extremely appealing as they peruse the toys, participate in a wee organised activity and interact in the various social scenarios, they won’t be the only one. The real hidden gem of play group is what is in store for you as the parent or caregiver. Simply pull up a pew by the roaring fire during winter or relax sandpit-side under glorious summer rays all whilst your child plays safely within full view. You can attend play group on a casual basis at a cost of $2 per child over 1 year old (under 1 year olds are free of charge) or, you can join the group at a cost of $10 for one child per term or $15 for two or more children. Either way, we would love to see you!

Nola Verry presided over nine members and one visitor. Motto: ‘A World without friends would be like a garden without flowers’. Business: Reminder of the regional bus trip in November and the Malaghan Trust Luncheon with guest speaker in

October. Institute has had a very long association with sponsorship of Medical Students, should be very interesting. The Financial Report showed a tidy sum so it was proposed we donate $50 to the new angiography machine at Base Hospital. Jill Turner won the raffle (a white kitchen container). Jean Dobbs the guest speaker was then asked to address us about her 32 years in St John, beginning in Kairiki near Taumarunui where they were farming a large sheep and beef unit. She told of some humorous incidents while trying to make a two minute school video of a very bad accident for a competition. The dramatics with actions, blood, bones and deceased patients who suddenly sat up again. After many takes the resulting film gave their school 1st prize, a TV and video player. Another story about a local rugby match with the team members from 17 to 70 plus was entertaining. Firstly as ‘Zambuk’ she was asked to mind a glass eye in one pocket and some false teeth in the other. With the game under way there was an injury. The poor man, obviously in lots of pain had Jean treat his knee, when she knew very well it was the wrong part of his anatomy. Another time an accident and the neighbours with a very old very sick patient was not as successful. After ropes, the tractor, and numerous cups of tea, blankets, hay and much TLC, the donkey died.
