Points and views expressed are not necessarily the views of The Inglewood Development Trust

This is written as we travel through Central Otago and the McKenzie Country. The huge benefits that these areas have received from tourism and cycle trails especially, is now very evident. Small towns such as Clyde, which were very much in struggle mode, are now having a resurgence with the huge numbers riding along the newly formed cycle trails which have been seen accommodation and food establishments doing great business and these districts now having booms not seen since the gold rush days of the late 1800’s, then the building of the dams and power stations in late 1900’s. Taranaki could do well to the recognise our own natural tourism options on offer. Richard Jordan Editor

It is amazing how we limit ourselves, and what we can do if we set our mind to it. My father did not like us to say that we could not do something. His response was. “Can’t is dead and Try Again buried it.” What he was trying to tell us was that if you tell yourself that you can’t do it, odds-on you will not be able to do it. If you keep on trying probably you will find a way to solve the problem and carry out the task, whatever it is. The same psychology applies to sport; if you think that you are going to lose, then probably you will. It’s the people that give themselves a boost by taking the attitude that the opponent is better than me and I will have to lift my game to compete. What can be more rewarding than footing it with the best player or the best team and even coming close? You even might take out a win – if you believe that you can! The ‘Blackcaps’ must have believed in themselves in last week’s semi-final. To score the last runs with a six, with only one more ball left in the game was phenomenal. Both teams played the game in a real sporting manner and both teams believed that they could win. The raw emotion that was evident after the final ball told so much about the intensity that the game had been played in. In the true spirit of sportsmanship the ‘Proteas’ picked themselves up to congratulate the winners. Food for thought, eh?

We’ve had another bumper season at the Inglewood Tennis Club. Junior member numbers have swelled to nearly fifty with a big increase in Hot Shots. Our Senior A grade team had a good year in in the Soffe Cup Competition. They made it to the semi final where they were defeated by Huatoki who then went on to win the title. For the Wilson Trophy the club combined with Stratford. The team had a very competitive season coming up against some tough opposition. The Juniors entered four teams this season in Junior B, Junior A and two teams in the Youth Grade. All teams did well and there are some exciting young

players coming on for next season. Many thanks to my Hot Shots coaching assistants Chrissy Mace and Susan Chambers and to the Team Managers Vanessa Mason, Laura van Koppen, Paula Rawlinson, Kelly Russell and Chrissy Mace. We celebrated our season with prize giving on our last night. This is always a big event at the club. Prize winners: Hot Shot: Julia Pearse, Junior B: Nina Goble, Junior A Girl: Claire Ousey, Junior A Boy: Luke Russell, Youth Grade Girl: Liahna Smith, Youth Grade Boys: Shared Liam Ferry, Aengus Gordon and Feargus Gordon, Most Improved Junior Boy: Liam Ferry, Most Improved Junior Girl: Claire Ousey and Alana Buckthought, Best Sportsperson: Zara van Koppen. Hot Shots Monday’s 3.30 pm-4.30 pm. Junior Coaching Wednesday 3.30-6.30 pm. Groups are one hour and based on ability. Looking forward to a big season commencing in October. See you then.

Inglewood verses Auroa in the final, played at Pukekura Park on Saturday 21

March. Auroa won the toss and put Inglewood into bat on a worn slow pitch. Auroa had Inglewood in trouble early at 50-5, but a couple of good partnerships between Jamie Brocklehurst, Greg Alexander and Harshal Upadhyay

helped Inglewood get to 150-9 off 34 overs before it started to rain. After it stopped Hayden Kayling and Jake Jarman pushed the score to 169-9 off 37 overs before the rain set in and Inglewood’s innings was ended. With Duckworth Lewis in play, Auroa needed 101 off 20 overs but the pitch was deemed too wet to continue so Inglewood won the Trophy for being the top qualifier at the end of the season.

Relay For Life - ‘Hill Billie Mummas’ (Tasmin Dobson)

Over the weekend a group of local women participated in the Relay for Life Society Fundraiser. A 24 hour relay with one team member on the track at all times. We were tested with the rain but everyone had a great time. As part of the fundraising we needed to raise over $100 each and hold two separate fundraising events. We had a cake stall and sold raffles tickets for gift baskets which were all donated by local Inglewood businesses. We were overwhelmed by the support we received from RD1, Ducks Pharmacy, Angels in

Disguise, Hot Goods, Drakes Furnishings, Inglewood Book Centre, Martins Fashions. In total we raised $4676.00 which was a great effort. Our Raffle winners are Michelle Jackson, Anne Jonas, Jackie D and P Fowler. We all had a great time and were all happy to be involved with such a great cause as we all have family members, a friend, or know someone who has been effected by this unforgiving disease.

Gardening Clues with Clueless

Page 7 Issue 138

A successful garden provides a visually interesting variety of colour year round. Start by incorporating a blend of trees both evergreen and deciduous, mixed up with flowering shrubs, spring bulbs, perennials and annuals. In climates with mild winters, cooler months are a good

time for flower colour and fragrance. For climate control, choose evergreen plants for protection from cold winds and deciduous plants around the house to let the winter sunshine stream in. Some top gardening tips for the next couple of months. Renovate the vegetable garden by taking out spent crops and vines such as corn and tomatoes. Plant autumn vegetable and herb crops such as cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower, parsley and coriander. Sow carrots, broad beans and celeriac. Plant new trees, shrubs or a fast growing vine on a hot pergola. Ornamental grapevines provide autumn colour and summer shade. Take cuttings from geraniums, succulents and fuchsias. Plant bulbs for spring and winter-flowering in containers. Cut back dead or withered summer flowers close to the ground. Grasses and other sturdy plants can be left to provide winter structure and seeds for birds. Buy colourful indoor plants such as cyclamen, chrysanthemum and poinsettia while they are in flower and keep them in a well-lit situation. Compost fallen leaves, grass clippings, kitchen scraps and shredded pruning's, remembering to turn them periodically with a garden fork. Prune the hedges before winter, keeping them compact and bushy. If you don’t have the right tools, then hire a landscape gardener.

We are a charitable Trust, which is run by volunteers from our local community. We are open five mornings per week at 41 Rata Street. The centre opened its doors for the first time on September 5 1995. We rely on funding from trust organisations around Taranaki as well as donations from our visitors to keep the centre open. We are here for the general public and our

community, offering a friendly chat and free cuppa’s. We also have general information so we can assist enquires like, bus timetables, rubbish tip hours, Plunket, Ironside, employment awareness, plus any health issues or any other enquires, we can point you in the right direction. At present we are striving to bring back the community Christmas dinner and are positive that we shall achieve this. The centre has a assortment of books and bric a brac that are here in exchange for a donation. All goods have been donated with our many thanks. Murray is at the centre on Wednesday and Friday mornings, offering free advice and lessons for the new technology like computers, tablets and smart phones. This service has been welcomed by a number of community members that have requested help in some form, leaving satisfied for the assistance. The centre has regular raffles which are very popular. So there is a bit about us and please feel free to pop in and see us, you may even pick up a bargain, maybe a book or two for a great read, as there are a lot of well known authors on our shelves. We wish you all the best for these winter months, keep warm, stay safe and keep smiling. Take care all.

This restaurant with the most beautiful view a restaurant can offer of Mount Taranaki, celebrated its 4th anniversary in January. Time flies when you are having fun. Over these four years we have employed lots of kids from the Inglewood area. Some

left for university, others moved to another city and some left because of sports or getting other jobs, but it has been fun training and working with them. Although business will slow down a bit during the week due to the coming winter season, we are looking for casual workers. Predominantly for the weekends and the Friday evening. So anyone as from the age of 13 who is willing and really eager to work, can call us, send us a mail or come to the restaurant to enquire about a job in the kitchen or front of house. In April we will have one sunny Sunday we hope, because on that particular day artists from around the mountain will show you how they work and you will have the opportunity to meet with them and ask all those questions you always wanted to ask. Of course the result of their effort is exhibited as well and …maybe you wish to buy some of it. As soon as we know the day and time the media will be informed. May will be the month we are going to build the 160 metre flying fox. If ready, we will have three flying foxes. One for the little ones and two for the daredevils. But please hold on to the very end and ask your parents to supervise. Playing is a risky business. Due to the dropping pay outs and the low oil price we have decided to drop our prices for our evening tea menu in April as well. Just to allow the most affected farmers and people in the oil industry to offset their mind and enjoy a pleasant dinner with family and friends. A candle light dinner including two drinks (sorry, no top shelf), garlic bread or a dessert and a mains of your choice will not cost you more than $30 per head, or just go for the mains and pay $18 for any mains of your choice.

Read Family Cricket (Amy Pickford)

The Read family reunion/cricket match was held at Everett Park over Taranaki Anniversary weekend. Every year we pack up and head to a destination to meet up with all the extended family. It started as a friendly cricket match in Kaeo for an Uncle’s 40th birthday - 24 years ago. It was so much fun we never stopped it! The Read family have a lot of family in Inglewood with Gwen and the late Eric relocating to Inglewood in 2002 to be closer to that family, they are the parents of Trevor and the late Janine Biesiek (nee Read) of Inglewood. Our Read Family Cricket has seen us go to Kerosene Creek, Putaruru, Otorohonga, Te Wera, Te Kuiti, Waihi, TOPEC, Keretihere, to name a few. The pitch is NEVER straight so it really doesn’t matter how good a player you are, you never actually know how it is going to go which adds to the fun of it. The teams are divided into partners VS partners, sibling VS siblings and new partners are added onto the opposite team as are babies when they are born. The youngest team member this year was eight months old and the oldest was 84. The weekend is one big happy hour and we have a blast catching up with everyone. We have prizes for junior player of the day (Taine), junior runner up (Preston), Adult player of day (Rach), entertainers award (John Read), legends trophy (Taine, Riley, Tony), team trophy (Johns team), and of course a DUCK – (Ashlee). This year seen Johns team won, making it equal with 12 wins each. Next year is sure to be a goodie! It’s never too late to start your own family traditions.

ANZAC Day Preparations (Pat Julian)

Each year, the first indication we have that Anzac Day is coming around again, is when the white crosses appear on the Cenotaph lawn, with each one representing a former Inglewood resident who gave their life to preserve our freedom. This year you will notice a huge increase in the number, and this is because

Inglewood Lions together with the Inglewood RSA have conducted a thorough search of Army archives and identified more than a hundred more casualties from both world wars who have not previously been acknowledged with a cross. Over the last few weeks, Inglewood Lions have been out in the wider community sourcing the materials necessary to build another 150 crosses, so that, come Anzac Day this year, every Inglewood District member of the NZ Armed Forces who gave their life in battle will be recognized, in what will be a sea of crosses on the Cenotaph Lawn. In a later edition, Lions will recognize the contribution made by many local and New Plymouth business’s who jointly made it possible to provide all these additional crosses at no cost to the community.

If you love to sing, come join us!! We are a fun group of male and female singers from all walks of life, ranging from ages 16 to 65. We sing uplifting modern contemporary music like Pharrell Williams' Happy, Abba's Mamma Mia,

etc. We welcome creativity and the atmosphere is informal and accepting. We aim to host a few non-profit community concerts a year, including Christmas performances with the aim of "making someone smile". We invite anyone interested aged 16 and over who can "sing in tune" and commit to practices and performances to come along to our practice sessions. When you are ready you can arrange an informal audition to join. You do not need to be able to read music and you can be at any experience level. We sing "by ear" to "backing music". Membership is free and this is a non-profit venture. Practices are every Wednesday evening 6.30 to 8.30 pm at the Mamaku Centre (6 Mamaku Street) in Inglewood. Contact Letitia Lindeque on 0211 396 297 or email: letitialindeque@gmail.com for any further information. Come meet us, make new friends and make someone else happy while having fun and doing what you love!

Jeanette Wilson has recently been inspired to set up a support group for people who would like to lose weight. It’s a FREE group that meets on a Saturday night 7.30 pm at Forrestal Lodge. The group receive a teaching from a Spiritworld teacher and rather interestingly it is a completely different approach to weight loss than you have likely come across before. There is also an online support group Health and Vitality where you can view the filmed sessions and see transcripts of the teachings. So far those attending are reporting that they are happier, more energised and the weight is starting to fall away effortlessly. For more info see www.jeanettewilson.com or phone Forrestal Lodge 7567242.

Every year Egmont Village School students try their hand at growing vegetables, flowers and herbs for the annual school gardening competition.

Valdy and Graham Wardrop link opposite ends of the Pacific Ocean via the medium of fine song writing,

virtuoso guitar playing and tight harmony singing. Individually, each is acknowledged in their own countries as soloists performing at the top of their fields - together the combination is both musically rewarding and highly entertaining. Valdy, who hails from Salt Spring Island, BC, plays major acoustic music festivals all over Canada and the United States. Wardrop lives in Christchurch but these days plays more concerts away than at home - his regular performing circuit includes Australia, Hong Kong, the UK, Papua New Guinea and now, with Valdy, Canada. Valdy and Wardrop met in Auckland in 1994 and realized an instant rapport. They have now toured eight times in Canada, and this will be their fourth tour in New Zealand. Valdy was awarded the Order of Canada in 2012 for his services to music and literacy. Wardrop won a New Zealand Star award in 2010 in the ROCKONZ Hall of Fame. There is nothing that these two well seasoned performers enjoy more than sharing their music with lovers of fine songs and the acoustic guitar.

The Walk of Witness will be happening on Good Friday 3 April at 9.30 am at St Andrew’s Church. For more than 20 years, the combined churches of Inglewood have met together for a “Walk of Witness” on Good Friday. We hear readings from the Bible which tell the story Jesus’ final days of his ministry, sing a song and then walk, carrying a cross, to the next church on the circuit. It’s a great opportunity for us all to share and remember Jesus’ great sacrifice for us all, and we would like to encourage anyone who would like to share this journey to come along. This year, we will be starting at St Andrew’s Anglican Church, then on to Inglewood Christian Fellowship (Mamaku Street), Inglewood United Church (cnr Brown and Kelly Streets), Sacred Heart (Standish Street) finishing at Lifegate Apostolic (Cutfield Street) with a welcome drink and hot cross buns.

On Easter Sunday, there will be a dawn service starting at 6.30 am on top of the hill at the end of the cemetery car park. We welcome everyone along to share in these special events as together we reflect and celebrate the most significant days in the Christian calendar.

Inglewood First News (Vida Harkness)

What a fantastic day of indoor football on Sunday, with a massive turn out there was nine games held. Indoor football is a game that anyone can play with five aside going for 40 minutes, there was a lot of people having their first game. It was great to hear all the encouragement and fun going on. There will be some sore muscles in the following week for sure. Massive thanks to everyone who played, watched and supported today. Great to see everyone there enjoying themselves. It was a great day had by all with $250 being raised for the Macks family.

More than likely Bill Valintine did not realise that when he set up his portable sawmill in the bush in the 1940’s that his venture would have been the start of building up a very fine and stable business in Inglewood.

Inglewood First A5 held a very interesting meeting at what was once known as Valintine Sawmill but now known as Value Building Supplies. Pat Kennedy took us for a tour through the mill – one moment you see a large log and next it has been cut down to a plank of wood, or battens or in some cases down to the wood that will keep you warm this winter. We thank the staff at Value Timber Supplies for staying on and showing the different aspects of this business. This evening coincided also with a farewell to Shirley Stephens – past member of the Taranaki Electricity Trust. Shirley has always been a great advocate of Inglewood First and was a regular attender of our A5’s. Her words of wisdom were always welcomed. Marie Pearce,

chairperson of Inglewood First said words of thank you to Shirley and wished her well. The New Zealand Media Entertainment Advertising Voucher of $750 was won this month by Jenny Bunn of Harcourt's.

Photography Appreciation Group (Viv Adamson)

Thomas Busby, a well known local photographer was our evaluator for

March. Our subject was 2nd hand or childhood memories. An assortment of images including old books, teddies, and

playgrounds. Michelle Wilson, the winner of the childhood memories, had an amazing image of a man on skates Cody Huta, a new member had the top image in the Open subject with a landscape. Thomas took us outside and showed us how his new drone worked. We were then shown some of the interesting images taken by the camera attached to the drone. We were also shown images that Thomas had taken on a recent trip to the South Island. We also saw images that some of the members had taken on a recent outing to East End Beach. Next month is “Colour”. Our club is holding our usual monthly meeting on Sunday April 19th out at Puritawa starting at 1.00 pm. Six members from the Inglewood Photography Appreciation Group have had images selected for the Camera 2015 Annual which is put out by the Photography Society of New Zealand.

Young Farmers (Emma Jordan)

Young Farmer’s, it might be a name that you hear now and again, but who are we? Not to blow our own trumpet too much, but, we are a great and interesting bunch of young people aged between 18 and 31 who have an interest in the rural industry and community and do fun stuff! North Taranaki is the club that covers an area as the name implies the Waitara and Inglewood districts. We have our meetings once a month on the first Wednesday at the Fern Lodge, Inglewood at 7.30 pm. At those meetings we talk about what events and activities we would like to organise for ourselves and with other clubs in the area Urenui, Coastal (Okato), Central (Stratford), Alton and Waimate West (Hawera). Most recently we have done some volunteer work for the East Taranaki Environmental Trust (ETET) based in Purangi. On Saturday 21st February, a dedicated group of us headed out to ETET. We came with hammers in hand to help build some wooden board walks (rafts) for a new walkway in the project area. Don’t worry if you’re an older or younger kid and still want to be involved, we have a number of other programmes under the New Zealand Young Farmers umbrella. AgriKidsNZ is for primary school students aged 8-13. Membership is FREE and participation is largely based in the annual fun-filled competition series which runs alongside the TeenAg Competitions and ANZ Young Farmer Contest.

TeenAg aims to introduce and promote a positive picture about agriculture and agricultural careers from an early age. The goal is to show the stimulating and fun side of agriculture to students from all walks of life, you don't need to be off a farm, you just need to have a love of the land and be keen to get your hands dirty. If you would like to know more, get in touch with our Chairman Paul Duynhoven on 021 191 6711 or come along to the mee t ing , f i rs t Wednesday of the month, Fern Lodge 7.30pm.
