Do you believe what election candidates say - or what the reports say they said? Often not quite the same
thing!
The recent headlines about the decent interrment of the remains of Richard III left many media pundits
baffled. Nurtured in a culture of blame, shame, and condemnation of the accused (whether guilty or not),
they were confronted by enthusiastic crowds wanting to fill a gaping blank in our history syllabus, and by
forgiving and accepting church leaders - on the one hand, wanting to see the good in all, and on the other,
acknowledging that before our Maker we are all found wanting, in need of redemption and forgiving
acceptance. Is the old quip about ‘pointing a finger at someone - and finding the other three pointing at
yourself’ applicable?
Being a journalist must be very difficult when ‘a story’ has to be found and facts come second. Half-truths
abound, and the prevailing culture is to believe ‘the worst’. Such has been the fate of Richard. Smear
stories spread instantly in print, broadcast and, worst of all, internet. This poem is probably rubbish as
poetry, but in ‘the greatest story ever told’ as some call it, could you understand what Easter was about,
and who was (or is) guilty?
Long ago, before time existed,
space was invented, and laws
so that quarks and protons,
electrons and atoms could all
fit together in harmony,
Some didn’t listen, went astray,
getting arrogant, quarrelling,
each wanting their own way,
deciding God isn’t there; we
only exist by chance.
But God’s not dead! “Empty tomb”
the women reported, and soon
his friends kept meeting him again,
still teaching them, encouraging
to go, tell everyone.
- and stars and galaxies,
planets and earth began.
The wisdom behind it all
we call ‘God’. He looked,
and saw it was good.
So God let himself be seen.
- Came as a baby, called Jesus,
and grew to be a man, talking
to his friends, and anyone
who would listen.
“Look” he said, “I am with you
even to the end of time”.
Though no longer visible,
God’s Spirit may still touch
the lives of all mankind.
Like a Father, he watched,
and people felt they
were being guided - shown
the right way to live, realising
God is behind it all.
He went about spreading
love, healing, acceptance.
But those seen to be wrong
tried and killed him before long.
The end of the tale.

Information for Senders of Articles & Advertisements: we go to press at noon on the 14th
Please meet the deadline or send copy beforehand if at all possible!
Electronic copy by email is preferred; email address [email protected] - often we are quite busy and don’t
have time to reply. Please identify the content in the email subject line and in the name of each attachment.
Written copy, please leave in letter tray marked ‘Heart of Eden Editor’ in St Lawrence’s Church, on top of the book-shelf
on your left as you go in. It will be emptied for the last time at noon on the 14th of the month. When sending email copy,
please include some identification (e.g. shoe shop, W.I.) in the subject, and not just “Heart of Eden” - everyone does that!
Adverts Please contact the Advertising Manager, Keith Morgan, The Old Brewery, Doomgate, Appleby-in-Westmorland, CA16
6RB. Phone 017683 52210. Email: [email protected]. Deadline date as above. New or changed copy for already-arranged

your advert in the safe before noon on the 12th of the preceding month.
We are very grateful for the very generous donations made by various groups and individuals towards the running costs

book reviews, travel articles, etc. Please send them to the editor.The bundles of copies of this Newsletter are taken round to the
distributors by Jan and Alan Meakin. They can be contacted on 52407.
FROM THE NEWSLETTER
Newsletter Manager
We are seeking a new volunteer ‘Manager’ for this
newsletter.
This is the way the current Manager does the job
– there could be other ways. The various parts of the job
could be done by different people.
Ensure there is an editor – make sure there are ‘standby editors’ for use if needed – seek a new editor if one
leaves.
Arrange the annual rota of the people who put the
newsletters into bundles ready to be taken to the
distributors – called ‘bundlers’.
When told that the newsletters will be ready (usually
less than 24 hours notice)
• Arrange for the moving of the newsletters from
the printers to the place of ‘bundling’ (currently St.
Lawrence’s church) (at present there is a volunteer
from Rotary who does this task). As last resort,
collect the newsletters.
• prepare for bundling (ensure the labels are correct,
present and in the correct order – and that any list
used is correct), alert the ‘bundlers’ for that edition
(and find replacements if necessary) and inform
those who collect their bundles of newsletters from
church and the Meakins (who take the bundles
round to the distributors).
Take part in the bundling process. When the ‘bundling’ is
done, phone the Meakins.
Store (somewhere) the boxes used in the distribution
process. These are returned by the Meakins – together
with the labels and most of the rubber bands.
Circulate (by email) the pdf copy of the newsletter.
Order supplies (rubber bands) as necessary
If you are interested in this job, please contact the
current manager via the Newsletter’s email address

Confirmation Services in 2015
Appleby Deanery is going to hold two Confirmation
Services during 2015. The first is in May at Warcop, and
the second is in November at Morland. Both will be during
the afternoon so that everyone from parishes around the
area is free to come. If you or someone you know would
like to explore being confirmed, please get in touch with
Rev Sarah Lunn or Rev John Griffiths ( contact details
elsewhere in the magazine) for a chat as we need to
begin preparations.
Hunger is Difficult
‘Hunger is difficult, hunger makes you blind. If you are
hungry you can’t see. Your legs can’t walk and your
mind can’t think.’ These are the words of an Ethiopian
girl called Adi. She was left with no cattle and just one
sheep after her husband died. She and her eight children
were eating just once a day, and very little even then.
With no husband and no livestock, she had no status.
She was ignored, sidelined, belittled.
Adi is one person Christian Aid was able to help. She
isn’t just a statistic in a survey of world poverty. She’s
as real as you and me. Statistics can be overwhelming
but, when in the face of a mountain of need it seems
there’s very little can do, we recall that to the individual
and family we can help it is not a little. For them it’s a
life-line to survival and hope for better things.
People in the Heart of Eden are generous in giving.
But their contributions, this year, will remain un-given
unless someone calls their door. To take over rounds
left vacant by infirmity and death, and to cover our
expanding community, we need more collectors. If
you help this year and you’re not already on my list,
please give me (Roger) a call on 52886. There w i l l
be a service to dedicate the Week at 6.30pm in St
Lawrence’s Church, on Sunday 1Oth May.

Appleby Churches Working Together
The Churches in Appleby work together to provide the
following activities for children and young people.
Oasis - Every Friday in term time, after school until 5pm,
at Kirkby Thore Chapel, for KS2 children (years 3 - 6)
Messy Church - Usually around Christmas and Easter (as
advertised), usually at Murton, for all ages

FROM THE CHOIR STALLS
What a lovely Easter – and how good the church looked!
Thank you all so much for this , and for your comments
to me and the choir about the music during Holy Week
and over the Easter period. So now May comes roaring
in with 3 church festivals!
Ascension Day is on Thursday May 2nd when we will
host the Deanery Eucharist at 7.30pm; ,
Pentecost is on May 24th, and on that day we will have a
service at 4pm for the whole of the Heart of Eden Team, and lastly
Trinity Sunday is on May 31st and on that day we will
have a full Choral Evensong at 6.30pm.
So ... a busy time, but full of rewarding music. Do come
and join us for one or more of these services.
Befriending in the Community.
Along with the local NHS Surgeries, we are in the process
of starting up a new way of working together as NHS,
Community and churches. Many of the local doctors’
surgeries are short of staff and therefore short of time
to spend with people in the community or even in the
surgery who may be in need of a chat, or a prescription
delivery, or dog walking, visiting, or help with filling in a
form etc. Members of the Clergy locally are trying to help
to find people in our local communities who may have a
little time to volunteer to be part of this new scheme. We
are not sure of all the details as yet, and we hope that the
scheme will develop as we work things out. Sarah Lunn
Appleby Mothers’ Union
Our meetings are held monthly in the Vestry at
St.Lawrence’s at 2 p.m. when we have a short time
of worship, a speaker and finish with tea and biscuits.
Occasionally we meet with other Mothers Union branches
in our Deanery. Anyone who would like to come and
share in our relaxed and friendly fellowship will find a
warm welcome. This month’s speaker on the 19th will talk
about “Hospice at Home”

Coffee Morning Saturday. May 16th 10 to 11:30am and to stop the roof pushing the walls outwards. There is
Coffee, Raffle, Books and Cakes. In Long Marton Village
also support needed for the arcade pillar inside and work
Hall
to be done on drainage and the damp on the north side
of the church. We are also hoping to prepare for moving
the organ to a better position and in due course installing
a disabled toilet and kitchen. The work will cost more than
£120,000 and will continue into July.
For some of this time, from mid May, the church will have
to be closed and regular services will be held elsewhere,
probably in the Memorial Hall.
It is hoped to arrange one or two dates when people can
visit the church and see something of the work being done
some of which is quite exciting.
Make, Bake and Grow
Our annual Spring Village Fayre is coming up on the
morning of Saturday 9th May. A great plant sale, together
with cakes, jam, marmalade, preserves and books, cards

guest during the morning. Kirkby Thore Memorial Hall

NEWS FROM THE AREA
the generous support which makes such a difference.
You can imagine how difficult it is to raise money in Indian
communities where they have little for themselves, never
mind those who are destitute!
I am pleased to say we have been able to support children, including some with special needs, in 2
orphanages. We have been able to pay for their education
fees and buy clothes for them to wear.
Each year we try to do something special and this year
we were able to buy a school uniform for them, something
they have never had before which is just fantastic.
When we are there we try and give the children a special
day with plenty of treats. It’s like a Christmas Day for
them. This year we gave them sweets, fruits, Indian
snacks which they helped themselves to. They were so
thrilled on finding enough goodies to keep them going for
a week. We are only able to do all this by the generosity of you all
supporting curry aid.
You may remember last year I mentioned about helping a
Mother and her son who both had heart complaints. I am
pleased to say because of the kindness of curry aid people
we were able to help them both again and Madesh is now
home with his Mother. They were totally overcome with
the kindness of the people of Eden . Madesh’s Mother
sends a big awesome thank you for giving her son back
to her as he was in an orphanage and now she can look
after him herself.
I felt the whole experience very moving and emotional as
we have so much and take so many things for granted,
while they have so little.
If anyone would like to do some fund raising for Curry Aid
please contact Jessie Oddy 017683 51227

Police Update.
Over the last month there have been 2 thefts reported in
our area, one report of building materials taken from a
garden and one personnel theft from a public place. There
have been 5 calls regarding anti-social driving in the town
and 2 of anti-social behaviour not related to vehicles. Please
continue to report any anti-social behaviour to the Police at
the time. There has also been a report of 27 sheep which
are thought to have been stolen from our area. If you have
any information regarding this or see anything suspicious
please call 101 or 999 in an emergency.
On the 5th of February a cross border operation involving 6
Police Forces took place. Starting with operation checkpoint
and later in the evening a Farm watch operation took place. Farmers and local residents turned out to support the
police, directing via radio, police to any suspicious vehicles
in the area. If you would like to be involved in the next
operation please contact PCSO 5206 Dakin or PCSO 5169
Allinson via 101.
Eden Police are currently also working with Appleby NFU
to pilot a sheep theft initiative that will then be cascaded
across Cumbria. This is still in the early stages and we are
asking farmers across the Appleby and Upper Eden area to
assist in this. You don’t need to be an NFU member to be
involved and if you would like to be involved either contact
Amanda Wallbank at Appleby NFU offices or PCSO Dakin or
PCSO Allinson for more information.
There have been a number of reports of door to door sales
in our area, our advice would be do not buy from the door
and call Police if you are suspicious in any way.
PCSO 5206 Dakin and PCSO 5133 Larmour continue to
work alongside Centre 67, Inspira, Young Cumbria, Appleby
Grammar school and Appleby Primary school. We are

open to Kirkby Stephen young people.
The Friday night youth club is doing especially well with
in excess of 20 young people attending at Centre 67 each
week. This is ran by Young Cumbria, the early session is
with Mark Raine and Ryan Studholme and the later session
with Clare Donnelly, Naomi Taylor and Ryan Studholme.
If you would like any information on any of the above please
contact either PCSO Dakin or PCSO Larmour.
If you are interested in getting involved with Farm Watch or
would like further information on the nights of action or the
trespass scheme then please contact PCSO Dakin or PCSO

Over four centuries old, our historic Council chamber
urgently requires specialist work to be done on lime
rendering its western corners. It is hoped that this will
be done over the summer. The building will continue
to be used and we plan to open it for a special event
to mark the octocentenary of Magna Carta on Sunday,
18th June 2015.
Clean Up
Several councillors, rotarians and other members of
the public have lent a hand in litter picking in areas
beyond the scope of EDC’s contracted worker, who
has both Appleby and Kirkby Stephen to look after,
and welcomes voluntary support. This is clearly an
ongoing task, and the Council has obtained pickers to
assist in keeping our town looking as it should.
Elections
May 7 is the day for Parliamentary District and
Town Council elections. The present Eden District
Councillors for Appleby and Bongate wards are
unopposed. In Appleby ward there will also be no Town
Council election because there are seven nominees for
eight places; but there will be a Bongate vote because
nine persons have been nominated. Therefore Mayor-
making at the Town Council Annual General Meeting
will be on 13 May, after the election results published..
It is planned that the mayoral lunch will be replaced by
a dinner, to be held in July.
Public Consultation
Following the voluntary completion of questionnaires the
mayor has drafted a report, to be published soon. This,
along with focused public consultation, will help inform the
work of the Council’s Neighbourhood Development Plan
working party, which is shortly to form a steering group,
including representatives of the wider local community.
Fair Hill
A contract has just been awarded for further work
on improved access; it is hoped that this will be
completed in the summer.
Bus Services
Grand Prix, commercial operators of the 563 Kirkby
Stephen-Appleby-KirkbyThore-Penrith service, had to
introduce a modest fare rise in April. It is vital that this
route runs at a profit; please use it, don’t lose it.
Appleby Chamber of Trade
The Rural Growth Network Hub office offering free business
advice and support is being relocated from the Business
Centre in Bridge Street to the Community Link Office at
the back of the town Library. Contact point remains the
same at Appleby Business Centre shop in Bridge Street,
telephone 017683 52347 email <[email protected].
The chamber’s website is at www.applebycumbria.co.uk,
just contact us if your business is not featured - entries
are free of charge.
Appleby Smarter
Now that better weather is here work is proceeding at
smartening up Boroughgate. Flower boxes have been
installed by the bus stop and in Low Wiend thanks to
funding from the Percy Fawcett Fund (feel free to water
the plants if they seem thirsty) and sponsorship from
individuals and businesses.
The main task is repainting the roadside bollards and
this will be carried out over the following Sundays by the
Probation Service Payback Team. The district council
have in hand replacement of damaged bollards - marked
with yellow paint.
A great Well Done to Brian and Beryl Sowerby for repairs
to their retaining wall and railings - we look forward to
their summer flower display in the coming months !
Appleby Edibles
Spring is here at last and seedlings are sprouting at the
polytunnel at the Appleby Heritage Centre. We have a
couple of spare planter boxes if anyone wants to try their
hand at growing vegetables, just telephone the Heritage
Centre 53350. Lots of free advice if you are new to
vegetable growing.
Litter
Too many of us scatter litter - the effect of fast-food
wrapping, plastic bags, cans, bottles, smoking waste
etc, adorning the highways and byways is particularly
harmful in a town whose economy relies so much on
being attractive to tourists: please bin your refuse or take
it home. And while it’s good that most dog-owners now
conscientiously scoop their pet’s poo into a purposemade bag, if they then throw the bag into the verge,
hedge, beck or tree, it will be there for months as a health
hazard. You can put a dog-poo bag into any waste bin.
Free Event Advertising
Cumbria Tourism runs the very successful www.golakes.

It is now possible to advertise local events on the Go

Opt4 project ends on an energetic high
An energy initiative that saved Cumbrians thousands on
their gas and electricity bills drew to a close at the end of
April. Opt4 Community Energy, based in Penrith, reached
the end of their two-year funding period during which
they tackled fuel poverty through energy-saving advice,
draught-proofing measures and a switching service to
help householders move to cheaper energy tariffs – even
winning a national award along the way.
“Almost half of the households we helped were in fuel
poverty, which affects Eden more than virtually anywhere
else in the UK,” said Peter Ward, who led the Opt4 project.
“To reach them, we developed partnerships with housing
associations and charities across Cumbria and beyond,
supporting them in switching, which is the easiest way to
cut energy bills. We saved the average household £180
a year and they will now have the confidence to switch
regularly and continue to save, which is a legacy we’re
really proud of.”
Thanks to part-funding from Opt4, an Affordable Warmth
advisor will support households in Eden for another six
months, and their website will continue to offer advice.
The project also provided employment and development
for two members of staff.
Opt4’s parting advice to households is to switch to a
cheaper tariff, cut out draughts in the home, and submit
gas and electricity meter readings regularly to avoid large
bills building up.
Opt4 was part of the Sustain Eden programme, financed
by The Big Lottery and managed by Cumbria Action for
Sustainability.

Heritage by the Wayside
Crowns on finger-posts, crests on post boxes and serifs
on mileposts – these were just some of the details which
even the most eagle-eyed Appleby-in-Westmorland
Society members might have missed before their most
recent public meeting. The experienced guidance of
Society favourite Andy Lowe changed all that. Illustrating
his talk with copious slides, he brought his theme of
Roadside Heritage to life with his enthusiasm for how,
what and where.
How did the tollkeeper of yore know when travellers were
approaching his turnpike? The answer can still be seen in
some tollkeepers’ cottages, with their walls and windows
angled to give a clear view up and down the road. What
was the origin of the term ‘turnpike’? ‘The metal gate was
the pike which the keeper turned to clear the way forward
when the toll had been paid’ Andy explained.
Why were some milestones so tall? The reason was
so that they could be more easily read by travellers on
horseback or in stage coaches. Turning to post boxes,
Andy regaled his hearers with an equally detailed feast
of information, including the perhaps surprising fact that
distinguished architect Gilbert Scott no less had designed
the first post box, known as K2.
Such was the wealth of facts packed into little over an
hour that it was surprising that Society members still
had any appetite left over for the usual end-of-meeting
refreshments.
The Friday Club
Our first meeting in March was an opportunity for the
“Lady” members to enjoy some pampering, a makeup
and nail varnish session and some optional massage!
The men had the opportunity to show off their skills with
various board games, snooker and indoor golf. It was
all lots of fun and there was even some crossing over of
choices of entertainment! The next meeting was a greatly
looked forward to evening of music and percussion.
The members all tried various musical instruments and
also there was the opportunity to sing along! We enjoyed
a much needed drink and snack half way through.

people across Carlisle and Eden Districts. We need more
volunteers to help us increase access to information and

vary depending on your interests and the time you
have available to undergo training and subsequently
volunteer.
To volunteer for us you will need to be open-minded, nonjudgmental, able to listen and learn, and work as part of
a team. We offer an appropriate training programme,
continuing support, flexible volunteering roles and
unbelievable job satisfaction in fulfilling an un-met need.
We also cover volunteer expenses.
Volunteering can make a positive difference to others
in your own local community and can also make a
difference to your own life - whatever your experience
and circumstances you can benefit from volunteering
while also making a valued contribution.
Help us meet the rising need for support and advice in
your local community, wherever you are in Carlisle or

Appleby Jubilee Players
Among the many Appleby organisations that lost a
stalwart when Alice Palmer died last year were the
Jubilee Players, for whom she had been secretary since
they were formed in 1977. Ten years have passed since
they last put on a show of their own. Unable to find
a director, the Players decided to use the funds they
had to support live theatre in Appleby by guaranteeing
touring professional players at the Public Hall: a few
cover their costs, but others don’t. The Players’ funds
are now nearly exhausted and the Public Hall risks
losing professional shows. If anyone would like to
make a donation to continued live theatre, the Players’
bank account is
Trustees of Appleby Jubilee Players held by Cumberland
Building Society, Appleby;
Sort Code: 16-52-21; Account Number: 31448097.
Donors could have publicity and could assist Keith
Morgan and Andy Connell, who are holding the fort,
in choosing from the available shows, if they wished
it. And if anyone in Appleby would like to revive the
players as a performing society, Keith and Andy would
be delighted.

Big Changes for Meals on Wheels in Appleby

and from Ruby’s Cafe and Bistro during school holidays.
Because there is no longer a link with the County
Council we are free to accept new clients without the
go-ahead from Social Services. You can simply ring up
and order a meal…just like a take away. For one day,
one week or whenever you want. If you live in Appleby
