Missing African Grey Parrot Dear Editor, |

Grey Cat Found Thank you, |

Seeking Melanie Ashcroft In 1994 we purchased a horse for our daughter Katie from Melanie. Mel had owned Tess since she was a foal. I think Mel lived in Hesketh Bank but Tess was stabled at Banks. Unfortunately, Tess has died and my daughter would like to meet up with Melanie and show her all the photos of Tess and how well they did together in competition; at one point Tess was Welsh Veteran Champion. We loved Tess and know that Melanie did too and my daughter feels it is only right that we let Mel know. If anyone could help in the search for Melanie we would appreciate it. [EDITORS UPDATE 4th November - Mel has now been in contact with Karen] Regards, |

Maintenance
of Tarleton Church Yard It has come to my notice recently that volunteers are needed to help with the maintenance of St Mary's Churchyard in Tarleton. I am sure many people are unaware of the situation and would be only too willing to help keep the churchyard in the neat and tidy condition, that it now stands. Anyone interested in helping could contact the vicar or members of the PCC. Tarleton has a churchyard to be proud of, let us help to keep it that way. Brenda Barker. 12th May 2008 |

Dear Editor, |

Can
Anyone Help? We are new comers to Hesketh Bank and love it here. We would be glad to have any local knowledge of footpaths in the area. Also does anyone know of someone who can layer a hedge, we have a badly neglected hawthorn hedge, about 12 yards, and would love to rejuvenate it as we're keen on wildlife gardening. Does anyone know of a local handyman who could do fencing with chain link fencing and concrete posts? We have 35 yards to do and as we are pensioners, can't tackle it ourselves now. Tel: 811528 Mo and Nev Bentley, 7th November 2007 |

Friends of Tarleton Holy Trinity School Dear Editor, Although we are a registered charity and have a committee structure, we are very much a group of friends who meet regularly and organise events in order to raise money for all the children within the school. The money that is raised, from events such as the annual Spring Fayre, Fashion Shows, a sponsored Bog Eyed Jog and numerous others, goes towards many exciting and interesting things for the children. These include a newly built ICT Suite, visiting workshops (for sport and music) and a Life Bus that comes to school to help children with their Personal and Social education. If you think you could spare some time to help, even if you can't attend the meetings but could lend a hand at an event or have a special skill we could use, we would be really pleased to see you. Our next meeting is on Thursday October 11th. For more information, feel free to email me at joannelloyd75 (at) talktalk.net More information can be found on the school website at www.holy-trinity12.lancsngfl.ac.uk We look forward to hearing from anyone wanting to help! Best Regards

One
cat found - but dead. I mailed on the 27th April and reported a missing cat and in the same letter mentioned we had lost one a few weeks ago. We found this first lost cat today in our garden. She had clearly been trying to get home but had died just outside our back gate... she was poisened. If someone has any information about what / who might have done this, please contact the editors of Hesketh Bank website or contact the police. This cat was found by my young daughter..... whoever is doing this has NO idea about the pain it is causing.. I still hope to find Minty alive..... Janet Read, 30th April 2007 |

| My
Cat Is Missing I live on Chapel Road. 15 months ago, we lost one of our cats (Ollie - aged 18 months) to poisoning; she died in our arms in the vets. Three weeks after that, our other young cat (Minty) went missing but was miraculously found after someone found him half dead (possibly also poisoned) on Chapel Road and took him to the vets. We got a new cat in September (Tillie)and three months ago, she vanished. We wondered if she had simply left home, she was white with a bit of tabby. This week, Minty, our two and a half year old cat has vanished - now we have no cats left and it seems that poor Minty, who survived one dose of poisoning has come to a sad end. For twelve years we lived in Glen Park Drive and never lost a cat. Our children, and us, are distaught. To lose so many lovely cats is beyond belief. Please check your garages and outbuildings for our cat, and please look around and see if there is anything on your land that could have poisoned our cats. This is giving us a very bad feeling about our neighbourhood. Janet Read, 27th April 2007 |

The great news is, we found him !!! Well, actually he came home at 3am in the morning on day 10, traumatised and a little thinner. We would like to say that we were stoked by the response from the community, nothing short of astounding, it's restored our faith in people and has made us feel really comfortable in Hesketh Bank. In our search we also came across a number of other stray black cats, one on Station Road (towards the brow), in the churchyard opposite Spar, another on a farm on Shore Road where a lovely family had "detained" a black cat with a yellow collar after seeing one of our posters (when I say detained I mean he had happily made himself at home in their living room, relaxing on their guests knee when we arrived), I've checked with the local vet who said that a black cat with a yellow collar was reported missing from Shore road end of May, so if anyone is looking... Finally, a big thanks to you for putting it on the website for us, so..... THANKS !! Cheers, Lisa. |

Water
Bottles Required Its all part of an evening of building water rockets with the scouts. The bottles must be identical as one is to be cut down and used as a nose cone. That combined with the fact in flight damage could occur to them means we cant garauntee the safe return of any bottles we use. If you dont
really understand quite what I'm talking about here take a look

Adventures of a Springer Spaniel or I Was Lost and Now I'm Found or I Was On a Mission - not quite sure which heading this should have. I suppose it depends on who is telling the tale, myself or Bryn. The story really began on Friday night, when Keith decided to go out for a drink to the Anchor at Hutton, no drink driving, so a taxi home leaving the car overnight. The following day his brother picked us up to go for the car, and we left the dog in the garden as usual. We did what shopping was needed and back home, only to be told by friends across from us that Bryn had got out. They had of course tried to get him back in, but he had decided that he was not being left - my mum has gone a walk and she has gone without me - I'm going too. I have found out from different people this seems to be the route he took in his task to find us:
As all this happening to him we had put posters about him everywhere, phoned all the vets in a twenty mile area around, and left our phone numbers. Chorley, South Ribble Preston and Ormskirk dog wardens and the Police in the area had all been informed as well. We even put it in the Evening Post and all the local village web sites and it was going on Radio Lancashire on the day we found him. Every day we set of looking for him at first going all the routes that we go on our walks then all around on my bike and then after the calls about him in the car to the area, even called at the butty bars at Leyland and left posters just in case someone saw him - it was at one of these that we met one of South Ribble cleaners. "Tell my boss" he said, "he will put it out over the radio to all the lads working the area to keep watch for him". They then sent me round to the lads that collect the bins, so the network of people looking kept increasing in size every day. We could do no more only keep looking and wait . Friday morning we drove around again setting off at seven in the morning going round and round, back for breakfast about ten thirty, it was then we got a call from the kennels at Oswaldtwistle they were sure they had him. "Brought in on Wednesday" they said. When asked them to see if the dog had one black claw on his front paws, yes, its him, she said. Off to the kennels but no, it was not our dog yet felt so sorry for the dog, his tail wagging ninety to the dozen thinking he was going somewhere. Bryn was still missing.
All I can
say is that he has been a very lucky dog, and that we thank
everyone out there for all the help and good wishes we have
received over the six days he was missing - just all the posters
to take down now if we can find them all! |

LOST
DOBERMAN FOUND A BIG THANK YOU. We have our dog back... Yip Heeee. Many thanks to all the businesses in Mere Brow who were more than happy to have our posters in the shops regarding the missing dog, the dog walkers on Leisure Lakes who I bumped into, the local school for putting a notice on the Notice board, Boarding Kennels and Caravan Park. She was found a mile from Leisure Lakes by Mr. Pimlott of Banks Southport while walking his friends dog. She had made her bed in a dry ditch on a local farm, and lived rough for 10 days, I don't know how much longer she would have lasted living rough with little or no food. A big thank you to Mr. Pimlott and to Vanessa your local Dog Warden for returning her to us. Our family is now complete. THANK YOU. Bev Forber, Prescot, Merseyside, 23rd January 2005 |
