Hello All

Well, the Wedding was lovely, wasn’t it? A beautiful

bride and handsome prince for her groom - it was like

a Disney film!

I need your help in tracking down a lady called Moira

Mason. She kindly rang me about a photo she has of

the gentleman in last month’s article about Temple

Ewell in Wartime. I was meant to ring her back, but I

must have taken her number down incorrectly

because when I tried it was not recognised. I would like to hear from Mrs Mason

again and apologise to her.

There’s plenty going on this month in the village. The School Fete is at the end of

the month and that’s always a very good and well attended event. Earlier on in the

month is the W.I. Exhibition of Arts and Crafts in the Village Hall, which I’m sure will

be very interesting, and of course there’s the Templeside residents’ celebration of

50 years residency in the village. It’s not that surprising that so many who moved

into Templeside when the houses were built are still there, as it’s such a lovely

village to live in. Even many who have moved out of Templeside have stayed in

Temple Ewell. Hope you all have a great celebration!

The 100 Club draw, being organised by Alison, see page 7, is a brave new venture

aiming to raise funds to help maintain the fabric of the church. It is hoped that even

non-church goers will want to contribute towards preserving this historic village

building for generations to come.

A quiet month for us, although we looked forward to our pre-

wedding party (Royal Wedding that is) on 18th May in the Village

Hall. We decorated the hall in bunting and flags to make it look

Royal and members wore their hats and tiaras.

We had a nice Strawberry Tea and continued the afternoon with a good old sing-a-

long with guest singers John and Peggy, my Pearly King and Queen friends.

I kept their visit as a surprise for our members so as not to spoil the fun.

Hoping you all enjoyed watching the wedding on TV and had fun if you

held celebrations of your own. I know we did.

Until next time

At Temple Ewell our Sunday Club meets at 10.30am during term time, as advised.

Priests for June

24th Father Richard Woods, Archdeacon Darren Miller to preach

All services at Temple Ewell 10.30

What is going to become of our Church, and who will be able to replace Father

Paul? These are frequent questions asked around our village.

Well, we are not sitting around doing nothing. As a PCC we are meeting with

Lydden and seriously considering the way forward. Having been present

at a wedding on the 12th May, it was an amazing how we are now on the

map and people realise that the Parish Church is active and needed in our

community.

We do qualify for a part time priest which may happen in the not so distant future.

In the meantime we have been praised for the warm welcome received by visitors

and newcomers alike.

You may not have heard our bell ringing that is because of a problem which we are

investigating.

Our new Archdeacon Darren Miller is coming to preach to us on 24th and a good

congregation would be most welcome.

Many thanks for your continued support.

grown! Invitations will be sent to all we have addresses for and who were

baptised on the last 3 years but we would love to welcome all others who have

celebrated at our church.

Just let us know if you would like to attend for catering purposes. We would not

like to run out of cakes!!

Our coach trip to Penshurst Place, on a beautiful sunny

Saturday 5th of May, was enjoyed by everyone. There were

150 craft stalls, house and gardens to explore. Many thanks to Carol and Daphne

for organizing it for the club.

Our next event will be the Summer Show on the 14th July.

We hope all is going well in your garden or allotment. I am growing some chrysan-

themums for something different as well as my dahlias.

T E Produce AssociationT E Produce Association

At our May meeting we discussed the Resolution, concerning mental

health issues, which will be put forward at our AGM in Cardiff in June.

Our aim is to lobby the government for better support for mental illness.

Jill, one of our members, gave us a humerous and informative talk about her

holiday to Morocco with her mother. Their adventures started as soon as they got

off the plane. Before they were taken to their hotel their taxi driver took them to

visit a souk. During their stay they were taken by camel to the Atlas Mountains and

spent some time with a nomadic tribe. They were also introduced to a Moroccan

family who invited them to stay the night. They appreciated their hospitality and

enjoyed an evening of fun, laughter and dancing - definitely a holiday to remember.

Our next meeting will be on June 14th when we will be playing short mat bowls.

Just a reminder about our arts and craft exhibition on 16th June 12-4pm.

Temple Ewell PlayersTemple Ewell Players

We hope many of you supported last month’s play ‘Curtain Up!’. A the

time of going to press ticket sales were not great, hampered we think by

both a football Cup Final and a Royal Wedding on the same day as our last per-

formance! We’re sure that those who did attend enjoyed the hilarious comedy and

appreciated the huge amount of work put in by our Director Cindy, the cast and crew.

Our next show is ‘Oliver’, the well known musical, which naturally will feature our

Junior Players. This is a full scale show however, so we also need adults for at

least ten main roles such as Nancy, Fagin etc, and adult chorus.

There is a meeting about the show in the Village Hall on Thursday 31st May at 7pm

with auditions on 5th and 7th June, same time and place. Jon Regan will be

directing and Sally Parker is looking after the music. Come along to find out more

and ’consider yourselves at home!’ Mike Brodie

GUESS THE SHOW!

The following three pictures are from one of our old shows - did you see it? Do

you remember when and what it was? The answers are on page 36.

DDC AGM Report 2018

(Summarised for editorial reasons)

It has been another productive and extremely busy year

serving and representing the Ward of Lydden and Temple

Ewell as your elected Councillor. I must highlight a

special thank you to all residents for working and feeding

back directly to me, to help raise issues important to you all in both Parishes.

The last annual period has seen an increase in my general DDC duties and solid

good interaction with residents over many issues including broadband speed,

speeding traffic, potholes, resident social issues, verges, road signs, street light-

ing, anti-social behaviour, property boundaries and various planning applications,

as well as the usual ongoing fight to keep the village free from disrespectful foreign

HGV EU drivers whom still seem to be entirely ignorant of any UK traffic laws, road

skills or road signage!

Acting on residents’ information, several illegally fly parked HGV trucks have been

moved in the ward, although no EU HGV enforcement has been actioned to clamp

or fine illegal activity. However, I am very happy to report the area at the top of

Lydden hill (opposite Husks) is now a restored wildlife space, with more wildflower

seeds sown this year, successfully ceasing endless illegal HGV obstructions after

having organised the top soil to be placed there via KCC Highways. During the

year the wider area was also deep cleaned by DDC services, after my intervention,

to remove the final dumped littering of chemicals, car parts and alcohol and food

waste products.

I am delighted to see the road, which had been reported as terrible condition

between Temple Ewell London Road and Watersend Farm, has finally been

repaired.

In one two month period this year DDC saw our busy timetable go into overdrive

when previous long term leader Cllr Paul Watkins suddenly resigned and stood

down to make way for a new leader, Cllr Keith Morris.

The Government Electoral Boundary Commission declared its intention to reduce,

change and review Dover & Deal Ward boundaries in line with many other areas.

Dover is a very exciting place right now with more locally managed DDC inward

investment than anywhere else in East Kent and local house prices are souring as

a result.

17

We also saw St. James retail regeneration space start to open to the public with a

fantastic six screen cinema and various restaurants and shops. Dover is now

seeing the benefits of the development, the car park is full most days and it is still

not completely open. As for concerns regarding the Old high street shopping

areas of Dover being negatively impacted, we have seen a recent rise in footfall

from 60K per week to 110K people per week since St. James opened! This mat-

ter is still being monitored as part of the widening focus on Dover under our newly

elected DDC Leader.

May I personally put on record my thanks to the various departments at DDC and

Kent Highways for resolving a number of local issues over this last year.

Also special thanks to all those residents who have worked with me to help raise

issues important to both parishes.

I support direct contact with all residents over any DDC issues of concern and I will

engage and help protect the overall wider wellbeing of the villages, with

a particularly strong focus on planning applications or environmental issues that

do not benefit the village or surrounding areas.

Huge thanks to the both the Temple Ewell & Lydden Parish Councils for their

ongoing support during the last 12 months and apologies for not making so many

parish meetings this year, but DDC meetings elsewhere have been busy voting in

so many changes for DDC.

I hope to attend a few more parish meetings next year, however below are my full

24/7 contact details should anything ever need my urgent attention for any Parish

Council or resident issues.

Best wishes

Temple Ewell Baptist ChurchTemple Ewell Baptist Church(Part of the Baptist Family in Dover)

MERCI MERCY

This month we will look at the meaning of the word mercy.

What is mercy? There are several Hebrew words that are associated with God's

mercy:

Racham – means "to love," "to have compassion," or "to show mercy." Chesed –

means "goodness," "kindness," "mercifulness," or "loving-kindness."

Kapporeth – means "ransom," "propitiatory," or "the mercy seat."

These Greek words are associated with mercy in the New Testament:

Eleemon – means "to show mercy," "to pity," "to have compassion," or "to be mer-

ciful." Oiktirmos – carries the concept of "compassion" or "pity.

We say mercifully something bad didn’t happen, so in that sense we are being

thankful of a good outcome.

William Cowper sums God’s love and mercy for us in his writing:

God moves in a mysterious way

His wonders to perform

He plants His footsteps in the sea

and rides upon the storm.

Ye fearful saints fresh courage take,

the clouds ye so much dread,

are big with mercy and shall break

in blessings on your head.

Our activities continue as usual:

Sunday Family Service: 10.30am

Monday Keep Fit: 7.30pm

Wednesday Bible Study and Prayer: 7pm

Future Events

Sunday 10th June 4-6pm. This is for children and adults

and comprises about 1 hour of craft activities, 10 minute Bible

based talk, a full cooked meal. The theme will be "God 24/7". All

are welcome.

If we can help in any way please do not hesitate to contact June on 822982Jack on 825150 or our minister Ewart Graham on 375823.

Hedgehog Week

'Hedgehog Week’ in early May highlighted for us all the need to be 'Hedgehoggy'

aware. These spiky garden mammals are protected in England under the Wildlife

and Countryside Act, 1981. The British Hedgehog Preservation Society,

britishhedgehogs.org.uk founded in 1982, offers a plethora of advice and tips on

how to care and/or attract hedgehogs to your

garden. There has been a significant 75%

decline in their population and their extinction is

becoming a reality. Living in the lovely country-

side as we do we may be privileged to have the

Hedgehog as a regular visitor, devouring those

pesky slugs. So let's support their protection by

being aware of such hazards as:-

Open drains, slug pellets and pesticides, lawn mowers, stringers, netting

and bonfires.

I also recommend 'The Last Hedgehog' by Pam Ayres who gives us in poetry

exactly what we can do to keep them alive and see them thrive once more. Let

us all ensure that 'Mrs Tiggywinkle' is just not just alive in books but visible and

fascinating for our grandchildren!

County CouncillorCounty Councillor

KCC launches campaign to help children cross safely

Three in four crashes involving children on Kent’s roads are because of

youngsters not looking properly or paying attention before they cross.

Child pedestrians are consistently shown to be at their most vulnerable between the

ages of 11 and 16 as this is often when, with increasing independence, they begin their

first solo pedestrian journeys on potentially unfamiliar routes. As a result, Kent County

Council’s road safety team has launched a new campaign to address the issues with

this age group.

KCC road safety team leader Vicky Harvey said: “These are simple messages – for

instance ensuring you look right first - but it’s clear that young pedestrians aren’t

properly considering the dangers when crossing the road. Modern technology is

also causing distractions as well as not understanding the dangers when playing near

roads and this campaign is a reminder of some of the simple strategies children

can use to cross the road more safely. We want to get this message across to as

many children who will be making their first trips to secondary school in September

without their parents or guardians and new schools might mean longer journeys.

To help us engage we’ll be visiting retail centres across Kent over the

summer holidays with videos and quizzes to help educate children in the

importance of pedestrian safety.”

The campaign, which includes adverts on buses, goes back to the 8-bit era of com-

puter games and utilises pixel art to get the message across. It also harkens back

to a time before children had mobile phones – a recent survey found 64%

of children used their phones whilst crossing over or near roads.

Visitors will be able to pick up a branded top-trump style game and keyring, further rein-

forcing the pedestrian safety messages. Collision data shows most incidents take place

at the start and end of the school day and boys are slightly higher in the statistics.

Top tips:

• look right first – look left, then look right again before crossing -

that’s where the first car to hit you would come from, but also

consider a speeding vehicle overtaking, so keep checking as you

cross the road.

• don’t mess about with friends near the road - concentrate for those

few vital seconds to make sure it’s the right time to cross.

• find a safer place to cross - could be a crossing or just away from

parked cars.

23

• remove distractions such as earphones - have your mind on the

road and what’s important is to cross safely, your ears and eyes

together will give you more information.

• do not use a mobile device while crossing the road -

concentrating on a conversation or a song means you are not

concentrating on what can do you most harm.

BrowniesBrownies

Easter HuntAt Brownies we had and Easter Hunt. We had to find pictures of PeterRabbit and his friends hidden around the Baptist garden. When we hadfound any of them we stuck them onto a sheet. So, we set off to findthem .... some were easy and some were not! When we had found all 12stickers we were given 12 small Easter eggs. Then we had to find onesmall egg each, hidden in the room, and later on a bigger Smartie egg.All in all it was very good fun and a tasty Brownie evening. Delphie

Candles and CarrotsWe practiced with a long match. We made sure we struck it away fromus and then we lit our candle. It was the first time for me lighting amatch. We then went and had a go at hammering nails into a carrot,potato and grapefruit and the we had to pull the nails out with pliers.It was very hard with the carrot and potato and took a long time to pullthem out. We then had to put a screw into them and unscrew them.The carrot and potato were difficult but the grapefruit was reallyeasy. It was great fun and I would like to do it again. Ashlea

The MarloweWe went to see Jungle Book with lots of other Brownies, Guides andRainbows. It was very good. I mostly enjoyed the songs, costumes andthe story. It was great fun. Willow

Scavenger HuntWe went around the garden to find different coloured flowers andbrown and green leaves and walked up to the wood and found snailshells, feathers and sticks. We then made them all into a picture. Ialso made a butterfly out of my things. We also found a ‘Channel Rock’hidden in a tree when looking around. Georgie

Mrs. Jane Coulson-Wright, Temple Ewell Parish Council,

5 Dour Side, River, Dover, CT17 0UX [email protected]

The Parish Council is delighted to announce that Dominic Castle

has agreed to take over the role as Chairman for the allotments

this year, with the full support of the allotment committee.

Dominic moved to the village in 2001 and has held an allotment

for the last 6 years. A few years later he joined the Allotment

Committee and has become a valuable member of the group. He works in local

schools teaching sports and also invests a lot of his own personal time educating

and promoting healthy living to local primary schools.

Since 2013 over two thousand children have

visited the Temple Ewell allotments, learning

about the growing cyc le o f f ru i t and

vegetables and gaining the skills required to

prepare the soil, plant seedlings, maintain

the plants and harvest the crops. The

children have been so inspired by their visits

to the allotments that the classes at River

Primary School are now involved with

their own gardening projects in and around

their classrooms and have designed a recipe

book to raise funds for future projects. In

addition St Margaret’s Primary School have

now established a courtyard garden and

each class has a section of the courtyard.

The Parish Councillors, allotment committee and plot holders would like to pass on

their sincerest thanks to Peter Upton for all of his hard work and dedication as

Allotment Manager, he has been part of the group since the mid-90’s. His support,

knowledge and encouragement to old and new plot holders, has been invaluable.

War 1, which happened 100 years ago with the surrender of Germany on 11th

1. A special edition of the Newsletter with articles about the war and

those who were affected by it.

Please send in anything that you think will be of interest.

Articles can be emailed to me at [email protected] or posted

to me at 13 Chilton Way, River, Dover CT17 0QB.

If you have information of any sort, but do not wish to write an article your

self we are more than happy to visit you and take down details instead.

2. An exhibition of photos and memorabilia from the time of WW1 with

soup lunch - a chance to have a look and a chat about the exhibits

to take VERY good care of them) please let me know.

If you would like more information or assistance with either of the above

please ring me on 01304 826386 - Jeanette Potts (Editor)

Smiling – always smiling

A day in the life of a hospital Carer or Nurse

with a long day ahead of her.

That beautiful smile fixed on her face

to care and reassure.

All that she is expected to do and more,

taking pressure readings, filling the saline tubes,

fetching the bedpans and commodes, and then cleaning

them out.

Making that patient feel they are the only one on the Ward.

Closing the curtains, giving the patient a wash

unless they can do it on their own.

If they can, the girls get on with the stripping, changing and

remaking the beds.

Then sitting the patient up dependent on the state they’re in.

Smiling all the while.

Temperatures to take, medications to give out,

answers given to Consultants and all.

Helping to feed those in their care.

Smiling all the while.

This I experienced for ten days a few months ago, if you can recall.

Care and expertise, respect and humour all.

Patience and reassurance when I had the post-op blues,

smiling all the while.

……………..

Thank you, Kings Ward C1
