Pet owners

should check gate posts or walls for coloured markers. The colour indicates the type of animal and its status, ie, dog/bitch, pedigree, breeding age etc.

Gangs are putting stickers on to let other members know where they are to be taken once they have been stolen. They are not bothered if the animal, be it cat or dog, is young or old or crossbreed, as old and cross bred animals are taken and used to train fighting dogs. The cats are used to train sight hounds (greyhounds, lurchers) for hunting. The colours to look for are. RED pedigree breeding age. YELLOW/AMBER - Young crossbreed good for fighting. GREEN - old but can be used to train fighting dogs. Please help to make pet owners aware and ask them to check their gate posts, walls etc and if they find any of these markers to remove them immediately and keep our pets safe.

HATFIELD WOODHOUSE AMATEUR GARDENING SOCIETY. As a follow up to the Society's December presentation on Japanese Maples, we recently visited Hippopottering Nursery at Eastlound, near Haxey. The nursery, which is open only by prior arrangement, is absolutely full of Acers (Japanese Maples) of every sort.

There is every size available and it seems to the non expert that there is every type of acer as well.

There is certainly a huge variety available.

We were given the freedom of the nursery, which is like an extremely long garden at the rear of a house, except that it seems to go on for ever! Pat Gibbons, whose father started the nursery as a hobby grower now runs Hippopottering, and she and her assistant Lorraine McLarnon, were keen to tell us everything we wanted to know about the plants.

As usual, plants were bought by members, and we hope that they are now following Pat's instructions on their care.

Hippopottering nursery has a very good Web Site (www.hippopotteringmaples.co.uk) which summarises the nursery's history, and also enables plants to be bought on-line.

On Saturday 16 June the weekly coffee morning at Hatfield Woodhouse Methodist Church was devoted to raising funds for the Gardening Society, and we are grateful to the Church running this for the Society.

The next meeting will be on Tuesday 22 July.

This is will be another outdoor event, this time at David Chapple's Farm at Boston Park. This is a return visit, having had a very enjoyable evening there last year. Please either go directly to the farm for 6-30pm or meet at Hatfield Woodhouse Working Men's Club at 615pm.

The Clouds Community Counselling Service has worked in the community for the last 6 years providing appointments for up to 50 clients per week, 24 of which have been in Thorne.

The service is highly valued by clients and other agencies and we are now appealing for anyone who has a room which can be used as an office or counselling space either in Thorne or nearby and who are in a position to offer Free usage to urgently let us know.

It would be deeply regrettable if we are put in a position of not being able to continue the service which is generously given by trained counsellors and final year students all of whom fund their own expenses.

We would very much appreciate any help with this matter.

PETS HAVE TEETH TOO Many people underestimate the importance of good dental care for their pets. In animals as well as in humans it is critical that the teeth and gums are kept clean and free from plaque. It is estimated that two thirds of cats and dogs over 3 years of age suffer from dental disease that can cause them pain and ill health.

WARNING SIGNS

Offensive breath Tartar Loose teeth Red, swollen and painful gums Difficulty in eating/loss of appetite.

Should your pet develop any of these symptoms, it is advisable that you seek veterinary advice. Most animals have bad breath but if it is strong smelling and offensive there could be a problem

All problems start with plaque!

Long term over-growth of bacteria normally found in the mouth can lead to plaque and tartar formation. Infection caused by a build up of plaque if left untreated can spread to other parts of the body such as the heart and kidneys, with serious health consequences.

HOME DENTAL CARE

Keeping up with your pet’s dental health at home is easy.

There are many products to help you but pet toothpaste and brushing at least twice a week remains the gold standard.

This is best started when the dog or cat is very young even though we would expect there to be no tooth problems at that age.

Brushing Be gentle and patient whilst brushing. Use the correct sized brush for your pet. For example if it’s a puppy a simple finger tooth brush with very soft texture is best. But adult teeth need a toothbrush that’s a bit harder.

Toothpaste

Always use pet toothpaste NEVER human. Most good pet toothpastes contain an enzyme which along with gentle brushing help break down light plaque and reduces smelly breath.

ANIMAL CARE FOR THE FUTURE

Regular examination of your pet’s mouth both at home and in the vets is important to spot problems early and plan future treatment. If you are at all worried call us at the surgery where staff will be pleased to give advice or book your pet in for a free dental check.

Welcome to the latest edition of the Hatfield Woodhouse Primary School contribution to the Arrow!

We have been really lucky this term and we have had a visit from Zulu Tradition, who treated us to a really inspiring performance.

Zulu Tradition came to deliver a whole school assembly and workshop for Year 5 and 6. The workshop was held to teach us a routine that we will perform at the DN7 Festival.

The assembly was fantastic with children and teachers (embarrassing) dancing and performing Zulu traditional dances and music. One pupil said, “That was the best assembly we have ever had!”

Thanks to Ash Hill Academy for organising the visit.

On Friday 14th June, Key Stage One held a Father’s Day Picnic, giving dads a chance to spend some quality time with their children and learn about the importance of male-role models in children’s learning from Mrs Collins. Despite a small downpour, it was a fantastic event. The visit from the icecream van was one of the highlights for children and adults!

This term Year two have been busy learning about their new topic, which is all about Mexico.

They have been learning a Mexican hat dance and making traditional masks and guacamole! They will also be visiting a Mexican restaurant to make cocktails and taste more Mexican food.

Year 3 have had a really exciting term where they have been working on their new topic Robot Rampage! They have been building their own robots using electrical wiring and pneumatics.

Year 4 have been really lucky and been on a trip to The Deep in Hull, as part of their ‘Big Dip’ project.

Year 5 have very exciting news this term! One of our students has been chosen to be Junior Civic Mayor of Doncaster! Helena Willlis was chosen after writing a persuasive letter to Mr Eddie Dobbs, the Civic Mayor to say why she should be chosen as his ‘Mini mayor’. Helena was inaugurated at a Civic Service in Doncaster Minster after stopping the traffic for her first parade on 3rd June. Her next official appearance will be at the Armed Services Parade on 29th June. Well done Helena from everyone at Hatfield Woodhouse Primary School!

Year 6 have had a very busy term (again!). A team of Year 6 were selected to play in the Ash Hill sports day for local primary schools, which included playing rounders and kwik cricket. Year 6 played with great spirit and had a fantastic day with children from other schools. Thank you to Ash Hill for hosting the event.

Year 6 also entered a Young Writers competition called ‘Around the World in 80 words’. 22 of our entrants have been accepted to appear in an anthology of stories from children who are 7-11 years old. We are very excited about the news, as it shows the talent we have here in school.

As part of their project ‘Skin Deep’ Year 6 have been learning all about microorganisms. They were visited by our school cook , Miss Holgate, who explained the importance of food safety and hygiene. She was also able to show them the amount of bacteria on their hands using a special gel and a UV light.

We are also busy practising the end of year play, Tuishi Pamoja (Starshine Music).

The play is based around friendships through diversity and celebrates the great ethos that the children at our school display towards their friends and fellow pupils. Year 6 have also made traditional shields to use in their performance.

The most exciting news has just been released - the teacher list for next year!

Welcome to Mr Osbourne and welcome back Miss Shaw!        

Hello there Arrow readers, I am afraid there is no article, musing or mildly amusing rubbish from me this month. I have decided to have a month off as I am suffering from writers block and what I did come up with contained far too many expletives to be printable. Instead I would like you all to read the 2 requests below and give them some thought. Someone approached me the other night whilst I was on my usual Saturday night pub crawl around Hatfield and explained that he loved reading my articles, that I should put them all together one day and then finally that they made his 20 minutes in the toilet far more enjoyable. I laughed to myself at this lovely but rather “to honest” compliment.

Hatfield Summer Ball 2013 Some Arrow readers may recall my desire to see the parish of Hatfield hold a formal summer ball.

Admittedly, it was the result of a rather drunken night when a friend of mine married a local lass and subsequently hired the cricket field for their wedding reception. It was a lovely summer day, the cricket team were playing and people could nip out and spend five minutes watching the game in between the various speeches and dancing. It was just a lovely day and night.

So I took the plunge and asked for volunteers to help. Thankfully, a small group has now formed and is busy trying to turn my dream into some sort of reality. The venue and the date have yet to be decided as we have realised that without some form of financial backing the summer ball may have to remain just a pipe dream. Therefore, the group have decided to ask if any local business or business people would be willing to put their hands in their pockets and put something back into their community. Their gift in return wouldn’t be my eternal gratitude but as much advertising as we could muster and the kudos of helping make the summer ball the highlight of the local calendar. The group will be sending out letters over the coming the weeks and we would really welcome as much local support as possible. If you would like to help us, please get in touch and maybe we can make this work.

Anyone wishing to offer either financial support or to become part of the organising committee please contact the group via this e-mail address, hatfield_summerball2014@hotmail.co.uk without your help and support there is a real danger that Hatfield may never have a summer ball that it and its inhabitants truly deserve. Let’s make this happen and put Hatfield back on the map, and maybe put a few smiles on faces this summer. Meetings will be taking place on a monthly basis and we would welcome your attendance.

Hatfield Town Cricket Club - Day of Legends 20 July 2013 !!

Calling ALL former Hatfield Town CC players, I would like to request your company at the ground on the 20th July, 2013 at home to Darton. I am talking such heavy weights at Malcolm Driver (I know you read my articles even though I can't spell), Harry Eland, Gordon Harper, Dave Culshaw, The Difference, Alan Barnes, Dave Daniels, Steve Robins, Mick Banks, Ken Smith, anyone.... If you have played for the club at any time (and you are still alive) then we would like to see you down at the ground to watch the game, have a pint of beer, give some vocal support and maybe buy some raffle tickets. The game will start at 1.30pm.... I challenge you to turn up !!

Local primary schools have been involved in a project organised by Ash Hill Academy, leading up to the DN7 Festival. In recent weeks, over 2000 of our local children have been enthralled by Zulu Tradition, a company of genuine young Zulu singers and dancers who deliver a heady mix of traditional African harmonies and high-energy, athletic dance all traditionally costumed - and supported by drum-rhythms. Their exciting and hugely entertaining stage show has attracted enthusiastic audiences of children and staff wherever they have appeared.

Zulu Tradition will be returning to all of the primary schools during the week beginning 24th June to conduct further workshops with smaller groups of students, selected by their respective schools. These workshops will focus on traditional Zulu songs and dance. It is intended that students taking part in these workshops will have the opportunity to perform on stage with Zulu Tradition during the afternoon of the main DN7 Festival event on Saturday 29 June at Ash Hill Academy.

Are you eco-friendly?

Here at Travis St Lawrence, we have been learning about how to save our planet and play our part in becoming more eco-friendly. We have a wonderful eco-crew who have organised bike it events, recycling activities and also monitored our electrical use and recycling. Last week we had a visit from the Doncaster Council Eco team, Miss Hurst, who came into school to help us learn more. She delivered an assembly at both upper and lower school about the different ways to look after our planet and then worked individually with the year groups. Here are some of the class’ accounts of her visit.

Eco-quiz On Thursday 6th June, Miss Hurst from the energy team talked about electricity and how to save it.

She talked to the whole school in assembly and then she came to Year 2.

We learnt that the large, white windmills are called Wind Turbines and that they make electricity.

We also get electricity from pylons which are wires with electricity in them. We had a test and it was easy. The teacher had to read what the writing said and there was an empty box with pictures and we had to write the correct word in it. Milly said “I think we save a lot of electricity at our school, Travis St Lawrence, by turning off the lights when we leave the room”.

She showed us some pictures of the objects that make electricity; there were wind turbines and solar panels.

Tyler said that he has solar panels on his house roof. She talked to us about using different types of transport and we learnt about catching the bus.

She showed us a bus station which keeps you dry in all weathers. She said that the cars are not good for the world and that a bike or scooter is better. Tyler said that he learnt that it would be better to come to school on your bike or scooter than come in your car.

Tyler and Milly, Energy team posters When the energy team came into Year 3 we learnt about the different ways to save our planet. Miss Hurst taught us the 4 key ways to protect and save our earth. They were: 1. save water 2. use greener transport 3. save electricity 4. recycling Caleb and his group made a poster about recycling. They used actual recycled material from our paper bins to share the message and used bright, bold headings. They also used sticky flaps to hide facts and to make the poster interactive.

Gracie’s group created a poster on saving water. Within her group was: Asher, Loui, Mason, Luke, Ethan and William B. We created a poster which had water droplets and underneath them was important information about how to use less water. Miss Hurst taught us why it is important to help the earth and how. All day long we worked very hard. Let’s thank Miss Hurst for her help.

Caleb and Gracie Wow Factor Wind Turbines!

On Tuesday 4th June, Miss Hurst worked with the Year 5 children to learn about how to save energy and the different ways in which our country stores electricity.

In Year 5 we learnt all about wind turbines and then made our own paper turbines, here is an Acrostic Poem about wind turbines –

Wonderful Wind Turbines.

Incredibly tall.

Never small.

Dangerous if you get too close.

Turning only if the wind is near.

Urban and rural Renewable energy Built as tall as skyscrapers Infinitely working Next generation Exuberant Saving energy.

Amy and Lauren Switched onto saving energyAs part of our Eco crew we have an energy team that came into school to help us learn about energy and give us tips to help save our planet. In Year 6, we were split into groups and each group was given a different aspect of energy such as fossil fuels, wind energy and water energy. We used the ICT suite to create powerpoint presentations. We all have experience of using powerpoint and were pleased with the final presentations. Rae-Lea, Aaron, Leigh and Thomas created slides about fossil fuels. They explained that fossil fuels were formed hundreds of millions years ago by decomposing plants and that they are mined by digging large holes into our Earth. Hopefully we will be able to share our presentations with the rest of the school and educate everyone about how important our planet is to save. Ellie and Jamie.

What will you do to help save our amazing planet?

NORTH EAST DONCASTER CITIZENS ADVICE BUREAU I paid the fees for a plumbing training course over 3 months ago but I haven’t received course materials or been able to get in touch with the company to book my practical training. It looks like the company has closed down.

THE INDUCTION OF REV PAUL WILSON As RECTOR OF WARRINGTON In WARRINGTON PARISH CHURCH OF ST ELPHIN Sunday 19 May 2013 3.00pm A very happy band of travellers, over 100 in number drove over to Warrington, some in coaches, some in cars to be present at the Induction of Paul as Rector of Warrington. We all took our passports with us for the border crossing to the other side of the Pennines !

As well as two coaches from Hatfield with 87 people on board another 22 parishioners had travelled by car and there were other representatives from other churches in the Sheffield Diocese. A wonderful tribute to a much respected leader of Hatfield Church for 11 years The day was fine and warm and many of us took picnics to eat on the bus, but were slightly dismayed to see a big sign on the coach ‘No eating or drinking on the coach’, but as we were all grown up the driver allowed us to eat our picnics, as long as we didn’t make any mess !

On arrival at the impressive church with one of the tallest spires, 281 ft, in England we just happened to be greeted by Karen who was on her way into church with the family. She couldn’t move until she had been hugged affectionately by everyone on the two coaches.

The church was almost full and I understand it seats 1,000 as it’s the Parish Church of Warrington and plays a major part in the Civic life of the town. The church stands on the site of the first church in 675 AD and was rebuilt in 1156. (more information about the church can be found on www.warringtonparishchurch.org).

The service began with a most impressive procession of the clergy, officers and the substantial choir with Paul bringing up the rear as the most important person there !

The service then followed led by the Archdeacon of Warrington with the Bishop of Warrington giving the sermon and installing Paul in his new position as Rector. It was a memorable service, very moving in parts, interspersed with some of Paul’s favourite hymns, accompanied by the magnificent sound of the organ. Many members of the church took part in the service – the church wardens, the Mayor of Warrington, Head teacher of St Elphin’s C of E Primary School and members of the congregation.

At one point in the ceremony a choir from St Elphin’s C of E Primary School sang beautifully.

After the final hymn ’Guide me, O thou Great Redeemer’ the whole congregation turned round to face the door for the final part of the ceremony which was the opening of the Great Door by the Bishop placing Paul’s hand on the handle of the door and saying “The cure of souls is a ministry alongside all who live or work in this community. The church must be open to God’s world and to all who seek him”.

Paul replied “By God’s grace I will equip those who gather here to grow as disciples of Christ “

26

Please mention “The Arrow” when responding to advertisements

THE NEW RECTOR THEN OPENED WIDE THE DOOR OF HIS NEW CHURCH AND MINISTRY. The ceremony was followed by a ‘bunfight’ as the Bishop called it, in the St Elphin’s Community Centre nearby. The caterers of the church had prepared a substantial sandwiches and cake feast for the masses which unfortunately had to be cut short for the coach travellers as the coaches were waiting to return home. The delay in having refreshments was understandable as everyone in the congregation wanted to greet Paul and Karen at the door on the way out and the queue was enormous. But we were allowed to take a plateful of goodies to eat on the way home !

While I was waiting for the queue to go down I wandered around looking at the church and spent some time in one of the side chapels which is a regimental Chapel for the Queens Lancashire Regiment. I was intrigued by the fact that one set of seats had been donated by the local Home Guard – I almost expected Captain Mainwaring to be sitting in one of them !

While I was in the Chapel a member of the congregation asked me if he could show me round the Crypt which is the oldest room in Warrington, dating back to 1354. It’s kept in perfect condition and had been found some years ago hidden behind a concealed door next to the altar.

A wonderful day and everyone was so pleased to see Paul and Karen move into the next phase of their lives being supported with such enthusiasm from the clergy and members of St Elphin’s Parish Church, Warrington.

Thorne Camera Club Thorne Camera Club now has a logo, thanks to Jenna Tucker who won a competition to design one for the club.

Members voted for their favourite and Jenna's was the clear winner. Congratulations to Jenna, who was presented with her prize of full membership by Treasurer Michael Neal. The logo is now in general use on posters and letterheads, so watch out for it.

As the summer programme is well under way, members are enjoying lots of outings. A visit to Hull Old Town was one of these, where members found many interesting things to photograph. It was an evening outing, and the weather was good as they wandered first of all around the marina area where power boats were beginning to arrive for racing over the weekend. From Hull, many people emigrated by ship to America and Australia in the 19th and 20th centuries, and a commemorative statue has been erected by the waterfront. This proved very popular with the photographers who tried to get interesting angles of this and other art work in the area.

Wandering round by The Deep, an amazing modern structure housing a seaquarium, in total contrast to some of the lovely old buildings around, many more photographs were taken, some of which may appear in competitions in the Autumn session back at base. There was so much of interest that some members didn't want to leave, and stayed on taking night photos, a challenging but fascinating technique, as the city takes on a different atmosphere under neon and street lighting. Next day, some members returned to get shots of the power boats racing and the rest of the city not visited on the evening trip.

Many other outings are planned for the rest of the summer, before indoor meetings commence in September when there will be the usual mix of demonstrations, tutorials, guest speakers, practical sessions and competitions. Details of how to join this thriving club can be obtained by telephoning David or Lynda on 07970895809 or emailing thornecameraclub@ yahoo.co.uk.

Parking Dear readers, Park on the left-hand side of the road if possible – make it always if it’s at night.

In a car park you should reverse into parking spaces. This will make it safer when you’re driving out and more fuel-efficient as you’ll be manoeuvring with a warm engine. Also, it’s easier to steer into a small space backwards rather than forwards – steering effectively with the rear wheels is better for manoeuvring.

If reversing into a space, try to start by manoeuvring the car so that the space is straight behind you the less turning you have to do backwards, the easier most people find it to judge.

Some buildings have signs saying to park nose in, because of where air intakes are for the ventilation and where car exhaust pipes will be when parked backwards – look for the signs so you don’t gas the occupants!

Car sides are often not straight, so watch other things than just the car next to you when lining up in a space.

A higher seating position inside the car makes it easier to manage knowing where the corners are when in a tight space.

Use your mirrors as well as looking over your shoulder to check how close to things you are, and how straight your vehicle is. And there’s no shame in peering out of an open window to get a better look.

At the supermarket, try and park away from trolley parks and corners to avoid your car being damaged.

Think about which bit of the car you need access to when you get back to it – so if you have heavy items to lift into the boot, park so it is easily accessible.

When reversing in a space, the rear wheels are the point where a car “pivots”, so watching where they are relative to the corner of a wall/other car is really useful. Once they are past the corner, the way you steer relative to it to avoid the corner changes.

Parking is now a staple part of the L-test, and it can be quite surprising to see how often people struggle with it, and see the task as particularly stressful. It’s important that you take your time and don’t succumb to pressure by other drivers around you when you are parking – it’s far better to do it right than to do it quickly. Practice is the real key – if you do it often you should be able to do it well.

If you are interested in further information regarding the courses that we offer you will be able to find this information by contacting.

HATFIELD LIBRARY This year Summer holidays are fast approaching and with it brings long days to fill. Working with all the local schools we are encouraging children between the ages of 4-11 years old to come along and take part in our Summer Reading Challenge. This year’s theme is ‘Creepy House’. To complete the challenge they must read 6 spine-tingling library books, and along the way collect stickers, prizes and certificates. Each week there will be entertainers or activities so contact the library for more details. All sponsored by Hatfield Town Council.

During July the Library will be closing for one week for a slight upgrade. Details of the closure will be displayed closer to the time.

Why not visit the Library and browse through our two new collections of health books.

These special collections are called "Books on Prescription" and "Mood Boosting books" they can be taken out directly or can be recommended by your own GP. Places are now available on a Tuesday afternoon between 1.30-3.30pm for art classes with Graham Hanks the price is £5.00 all welcome from beginner to advanced. Tel 01302 842064 or call in and talk to Graham any time between 10.00-5.00 every Tuesday.

Our evening reader's group are currently reading " Jo Jo Moyes Me before you ". the book is available for collection now. Come along and discuss on Thursday evenings at 5.30pm. The next meeting will be Thursday the 25th July.
