Enter CIC: 'Puttin on the Blitz'Enter CIC would like to invite
everyone over the age of 60 to attend their 'Puttin on the Blitz'
event.The event is free for anyone of retirement age and forms part
of Enter CIC's Celebra-tion of Age Project, which has been funded
by the Big Lottery Awards for All Fund. Over the past few months
Enter students have been hard at work interviewing and socialising
with people over the age of 60 to gain an understanding of what
life used to be like in our com-munities in the 1930s and 40s. The
research and stories they have collected have been turned into an
original radio play script, which will be performed by Enter upper
school students on the 20th April as part of the ‘Puttin on the
Blitz’ experience. A spokes person for Enter CIC, said “This has
been a fantastic project which has provided a wonderful array
of inter-generational oppor-tunities. “During the project our
students have socialised, entertained and helped an array of
elderly people. It has been wonderful to observe the interviews in
action and to see real and honest dialogue happening between
different genera-tions.”In preparation for the per-formance the
young people have worked with profes-sional radio presenters and
performers and many care homes have received free Zumba Gold
sessions (spe-cifically designed for care homes) from Enter CIC's
resident Zumba coach. To get hold of your free tickets for this
event, call the Enter office on 01740 655437. ‘Putting on the
Blitz’ will take place at The Enter Centre (formerly Ferryhill
Baptist Church) from 2pm - 4pm on Saturday 20th April.
A Diamond Wedding for a diamond couple
Chilton couple, Bill & Bett Curry from Keats Road, achieved
60 happily married years together last week when they celebrat-ed
their Diamond Wedding
anniversary on Thursday 21st March.They were married at St.
Aidan’s Church, Chilton on 21st March 1953. Bill, 83, was born in
West
Chilton Terrace but moved to Ferryhill when he was 2 years old,
attending the Church School and then Dean Bank. Bett, 82, nee
Charlton, is also a local girl, born in Beech Crescent, Fer-ryhill,
attending Dean Bank school, but she moved to Chilton when she was
nine years old. Bill left school at 14 years old and started at
Dean and Chapter Colliery. He left the NCB in 1963. He then went to
work on the assembly line at BMC (British Motor Corporation) in
Oxford, but after nearly four years the couple returned back to
Chilton because Bett was homesick. Late in 1966, Bill started at
Cummings Engineering in Darlington where he stayed for 16 years. In
1982 he attended Durham College and gained a Health & Safety
Certificate, which helped him gain a post at Sedgefield District
Council, leaving there in 1989. Bett left school and started
Bill and Bett Curry celebrated their diamond wedding anniversary
with a bouquet of flowers from Chilton Town Council and a card from
the Queen.

LettersHave your say...
Dear Editor,
In reply to Mr Foster’s letter, Issue 615, he suggests this
matter regard-ing the Dalkia Plant monies is now “clear”.
After receiving a letter from Chilton Town Council personally
stating no further comment on the Social Enterprise Group could be
made for at least two months, and considering yet again no actual
date for the transfer of these monies has been given, I would not
consider anything to be clear at all.
Surely if all that is holding up this transfer is paperwork and,
consider-ing DCC has had since November 2012 to get this paperwork
in order, then surely this should not be an issue that should
continue indefinately, as it would appear that the timescale being
offered is...sometime.
Given DCC has already spent £7,000 of this money and has happily
received the interest from this money as well, I fear their
unwillingness to actually provide the residents with a clearer
timescale lends more to their financial gain than ensuring
legalities are met. To say they are protecting these funds whilst
happily spending them and collecting the interest before residents
see any benefit is an oxymoron.
Would Mr Foster and all concerned be willing to enter into a
public forum where residents can actually get answers, rather than
being dismissed by all concerned in such a manner as befits Mr
Foster’s letter in Issue 615, where the lies promoted by CTC, DCC
and Dalkia, that enabled this project to be passed without any
significant resident in-volvement and the obvious lack of
commitment by all concerned, to transfer these funds to the
residents of Chilton, can be addressed by the residents?
Regards, Davey Chapman, Byron Road, Chilton

Woodham Sports Academy is about to offer elite coaching in a new
sport, water polo. Students are already able to enjoy professional
coaching in football, gymnastics, dance, cricket, basketball, table
tennis, softball, American Football and swimming. The idea came
from Woodham Academy’s student Governor, Richie Howe. Richie, who
lives in Chilton, is a keen water polo player with Sedgefield Water
Polo Club and was keen for his classmates to be able to use
Woodham’s pool for training. His
coach, George Carpen-ter, will be providing the training.George
has been involved with water polo in the region for over 40 years.
He played for the Great British men’s team in 1984 and 1985,
becoming the first player ever to score over 100 goals in a season.
George founded Sedgefield Water Polo Club in 1997. His teams have
won many awards, including four National Junior titles.Woodham
Academy has a long history of produc-ing successful water polo
players. Pictured with
Richie is former Woodham student, Angela Winstan-ley-Smith, who
played for Team Great Britain in Women’s Water Polo at the London
Olympics. Richie was given the honour of carrying the Olympic torch
in recognition of his charity work for Diabetes UK.Woodham Chair of
Gover-nors, Christine Robinson, said, “We listen carefully to what
our students want. Governors are delighted that Woodham Sports
Academy is able to give students the chance to ex-perience such an
exciting sport.”
Water Polo Academy at Woodham
The recent Easter Fair held by 1st Ferryhill Scout Group raised
a fantastic £400.A spokesperson for the group said, “This is a
fan-tastic result, especially in these difficult financial times,
and will greatly help our efforts to continue pro-viding Scouting
activities in Ferryhill. “Thanks are extended to all involved;
those who came along and supported the event, Tool-Time, J.T.
Atkinson, Broom Mill Spa
and Party Poppers (Bishop Middleham), as well as the many
individuals who kindly donated items for the raffle and various
stalls, the volunteers for their time in running the stalls and
providing re-freshments, those who sold and bought raffle tickets,
and of course the fundrais-ing group for organising the event. “We
greatly appreci-ate everyone’s time and efforts.”

at Tallents in Newton Aycliffe for 9 years. She then moved onto
Darchem Engineering in Stillington for the next 25 years, where she
was an inspector for Rolls Royce.The lovely couple have one
daughter, Amanda, who lives in Ferryhill. They have two
grandchildren and two great-grandchildren. They have enjoyed
dancing all their married life and actually met at Chilton
WMC dance when Bill was 16 and Bett 15. Bill is a football
fanatic, who was a Sunderland season ticket holder for 15 years. In
earlier times they went to the theatre, and loved the big band
shows, as Bill is very keen on jazz. They both liked their garden,
and Bett used to like sewing when she was younger. They celebrated
their special occasion with a party for 150 family and friends at
Chilton WMC.

Ferryhill stabbing man avoids prison
A former soldier who carried a pen-knife “for protec-tion”
avoided jail when he pleaded guilty to unlawful wounding after a
man was knifed in the street in front of horrified shoppers on a
busy market day in Ferryhill.William Edward Wetherell stabbed the
victim six times, puncturing his lung, after being convinced
the
younger man was involved in an assault.Wetherall claimed to have
witnessed a violent dispute in which a 57 year-old was apparently
chased by two younger men. Intervening, he caught one of the men in
an alleyway next to the Post House pub and inflicted several stab
wounds.Wetherall, 65, of Church
Lane in the town, denied wounding with intent to cause grievous
bodily harm, but admitted the lesser offence. Judge Brian Forster
imposed a 12-month prison sentence, suspended for 18 months, during
which Wetherall, who expressed his relief at avoiding prison, will
be subject to a probation order.

By Vince Elsbury, ex-Chilton
Through the doorTo an empty room
The silence of a vacant chairMissing you, sitting there.
No welcome voice from my beloved, my rock,Only the ticking of
the clock.
Yes, “I’m home dear”,Arriving with a silent tear always
Missing her by my side near,The one I dearly miss and love so
dear..
