Development Trust
Colonel Robert Trimble went to the United States some
time in the 1840’s, but was in Manchester in the early
1850’s, and in Liverpool shortly afterwards as
representative of the firm William Watson and Co, of
New York. A short time before the American Civil War
he became a partner in the firm. During the war, he
supported the North, working endlessly in person and
financially for the success of the cause. At the end of the
war, he gave assistance to the liberated slaves and in
recognition of his services received a silver medal.
In politics, Colonel Trimble was an enthusiastic member
of the Liberal Party in Liverpool, and was a persistent fighter for Free Trade, The
abolition of State Churches, for a National Secular System of Education, Army
Reform and for many other measures for which he believed would benefit of the
country. About 1860 he joined as a gunner, a battery of artillery volunteers at
Garston, near Liverpool, a second battery drilled at Hale and throwing himself
enthusiastically into the volunteer movement he raised a third battery. Shortly
afterwards, he was appointed a Lieutenant Colonel and raised the brigade, first
known as the 15th, then the 6th Lancashire Artillery Volunteer Corps, which he
successfully commanded until early in the year 1875. He was awarded the Volunteer
Officer’s Decoration on the institution of that order. In 1856 he married Jane, the
eldest daughter of Alderman Abel Heywood of Manchester, England.
On 13 February 1875, he and his family left Liverpool on the ship Dunedin bound for
New Zealand, and about that time he was promoted to the rank of Colonel. On
arrival in New Zealand on 18 May 1875 Colonel Trimble took up land in Inglewood,
establishing a sawmill as he cleared his 2000 acre bush property ‘Riverdale’, on
Mountain Road between Durham and Norfolk roads on the Mountain side. He was
one of the earliest settlers in that locality. He took an active part in local affairs and
was the first chairman of the Taranaki County Council and of the Inglewood Town
Board. Colonel Trimble was a member of the House of Representatives for the
district of Grey and Bell from 1879 to 1881 and for the Taranaki constituency from
1882 to 1887. Following that he was appointed a Judge of the Native Land Court. He
was also a Justice of the Peace for the colony of New Zealand and for the County
Paletine of Lancaster, England.
He died at his ‘Riverdale’ residence on 5 September 1899 and left a family of four
sons and three daughters. His wife Jane died in1925

Shade-by the River Editor’s Comments
Thanks to our two sub editors, Judith
Steel and Blanche Traill for the effort in
getting the Moa Mail ready for print while
my complete family migrated to
Christchurch for a family wedding over
Easter.
On a different note it appears to me that
Inglewood is slipping into ‘coast’ mode
and is in need of a stimulus to invigorate
the district. For over a decade the town
has been progressing when similar towns
have struggled. It may be that we just
need to make more noise about what we
have developing and happening. We have
a great district but if we do not keep
moving forward we will slip back.

I was thinking about my grandfather; he
said that there would not be as much
progress in any lifetime than in his. He
had seen the working horse replaced
with the tractor and motorcar, the
advent of flight to the first man on the
moon. Not a bad record.
Progress has not been in such visible
fields during my lifetime. The greatest
s t e p s h a v e b e e n m a d e i n
communications. We all take it for
granted that we can pick up a phone,
land line or mobile, and talk to
someone almost anywhere in the
world. Text messages flit through the
atmosphere, bouncing off satellites and
end up on the other side of the world,
and the reply comes back in seconds.
Television brings us events from
around the world as they happen. I
don’t know how it all works; I don’t
need to, but someone must have
thought it all out.
Although this progress is wonderful,
there are some things that are going by
the wayside. When do you get time to
read a book? Wait for the film to be
released or look it up on the Internet is
the modern way. And the art of
conversation is long dead. People talk
to each other but is anyone really
listening?
Makes you think doesn’t it?
In February the Fire Brigade was called
on for 6 incidents:
Two car crashes, two small fires and
two false alarms.
In March we attended 8 incidents:
One car fire, three vehicle accidents,
two vegetation fires and two false
alarms.
The daylight saving change has
happened again. We advise that
everyone tests their smoke alarms and
replaces the batteries. Timely replacing
the batteries can save your life and you
can’t tell me that’s not worth the price
of a battery or two.
With winter right before us we want to
remind people to be safe with heaters
and electric blankets. Keep all items at
least a metre away from heaters and
don’t leave unattended, electric
blankets should be checked if they have
not been used all summer. If you’re not
sure what to check then contact an
electrician to check the blanket for you.

Your heart is only
good for so many
beats, and that's it,
don't waste them on
exercise.
Everything wears out
eventually. Speeding
up your heart will not
make you live longer,
that's like saying you
can extend the life of
your car by driving it
faster. Want to live
longer? Take a nap.

Winter sport season is here, it is important to prepare with proper conditioning
and fitness to prevent injuries. When injuries occur, using the RICED method can
speed recovery by caring for the injury from the very start. RICED stands for Rest,
Ice, Compression, Elevation, and Diagnosis. Resting protects from further injury and
allows healing to begin, Ice decreases pain, swelling and inflammation, Compression
provides support and aids in controlling swelling, Elevation decreases and controls
swelling and pain. Diagnosis allows assessment of the injury and development of a
treatment plan to prevent reoccurrence of injury. Physiotherapists use a
combination of treatments that may include mobilisation, manipulation, ultrasound,
electrical stimulation, massage, acupuncture, and exercise to create the best healing
environment for the body and essentially speed recovery.

It is not every day one can attend a NZ Premiere of anything
in Inglewood but this month Cue Theatre did it again …
another NZ Premiere and another outstanding Cue
Production. ‘Leading Ladies’ by Ken Ludwig opened at the
TET Cue Theatre on Tuesday 23 March with a sell out gala
event. It was wonderful to see MacFarlane’s and Inglewood
Shoprite again supporting the evening with food and wine
which matched the enthusiasm of the audience and the
professionalism of the show.
Margi Arthur directed a superb production, the set design
(another Alan Stevenson masterpiece), construction, sound,
lighting and props set off the outstanding costumes (put
together by an extremely talented team).
This was a delightfully light hearted show with one of the
strongest casts I have seen in amateur theatre. There was
not a weak link on stage or off. Andrew Judd and Antony
Jones deserved their top billing, these New Plymouth ‘boys’
really came into their own and the hysterical mayhem they
created kept the audience enthralled from start to finish.
Nicci Smith, Morris West, Kristin Devine, Jeff Sanders and
Justin Lowcray were exemplary … there is no shortage of
talent here and they pulled out all the stops to keep the
laughter going scene after scene. The family matriarch was
superbly played by Lea Michaels, no small feat for a ‘woman’
of indeterminate means and her characterization of this role
accomplished with a real tongue-in-cheek appreciation of the
story line. Margi Arthur didn’t just direct – she conducted.
The dance scene (courtesy of Carolyn Murphy), pace,
excellent casting decisions and attention to detail were again
well supported by a Cue team which seems to go from
strength to strength. ’Leading Ladies’ was an absolute delight
to attend from start to finish.
With the next production already cast and tickets on sale
from 1 May you would be well advised to book early.
There are some theatre opportunities you shouldn’t miss and
a Cue production is fast becoming one of them!

The Market and Harvest Celebration held
on Thursday 25 March in Fritz Reuter
Place was a great success.
Locals brought excess from their garden
to sell at the Ooooby stall (out of our
own back yard). This was a huge success
and there are plans to hold another.
Kohanga Moa Marae’s cake stall sold out,
Kelvin Wackrow was selling plants and
Waitoriki School sold worm tea from
their school’s worm farm.
The garden competitions were judged by
Charlie Bellringer. Best Garden Haul won
by Carol Olsen, with a fabulous selection
of veggies and pickle from her own
produce, Tastiest Tomato: Peter Heard,
Scrummiest Sweetcorn: Roisin Johnson.
Children decorated picture frames, made
sculptures from leaves and seeds, painted
rhythm sticks, had their faces painted and
ground wheat. The most enjoyable was
the opportunity to make a bread bun.
The audience was captivated by a
traditional Swiss instrument the Alp Horn
played by Sam Hagman, followed by a
workshop on how to save seeds from
your crops with Jodi Roebuck.
The day ended at Fern Lodge with Tihema
Patene on his guitar, a movie ‘Hikoi
Wairua’ and music from Carissa and
Tihikura Hohaia.
