complete with friendly ghostNews Corp Australia Publicans and small business owners searching for something a little different should look no further than the historic Inglewood Inn and its resident ghost the Inglewood Inn operates as a restaurant Current owners Peter and Polly Howell have operated the venue for the past 16 years – and owned the Wellington Hotel in North Adelaide for 19 years prior to that – but have listed the freehold property and the business for sale to retire Langfords Hotel Brokers managing director John Langford said confirming the Howells would keep the business open until it could be sold Existing wedding and function bookings will not be impacted by the sale But it is the ghostly apparition of Wilhelmina that might further pique the interest of prospective buyers Local legend suggests Wilhelmina’s spirit walks the inn – her family were former owners and her heartbroken spirit returned to the property to mourn the death of her son Bell rings as semi-converted school house goes up for sale ‘Game changer’ restaurant for sale with $2.2m price hopes Two-in-one family home, wedding venue up for grabs The stunning Hills venue has been listed for sale with $4.25m price hopes Publican Peter Howell at the Inglewood Inn Mr Langford said it was a good story but remained dubious it was true despite staff claiming to have encountered the so-called friendly but mischievous ghost “Pretty much every pub allegedly has a ghost Sometimes they appear but sometimes they can’t be bothered because they’re too lazy,’’ he said “It creates a bit of interest but I’ve never had a ghost encounter there so I guess I’ve missed out.’’ which in recent years has become a popular wedding and reception venue features about 4ha of magnificent Adelaide Hills gardens alongside the meandering Para River The original bar and former dining room are full of character and ambience while major renovations in 2012 saw the addition of a balcony restaurant Venue manager Milly Howell said there was no rush with the sale because her family was keen to find the right next custodian “Dad’s been in the industry since he was born and I’ve followed suit as a third generation publican,” she said “It’s been wonderful taking what my parents built renovated and cultivated into what it is today as a family team “Weddings are such a draw card for the venue with ceremonies in the garden It’s such a special hidden gem and I’m in no rush to leave.” The Inn has established itself as a popular wedding venue There are also a number of cosy pockets within the venue Mr Langford said up to 16 would-be hoteliers had shown strong interest in the 1857 sandstone inn since it hit the market but securing a loan to facilitate the purchase was tricky Many of the interested buyers had no previous experience operating a hotel or function centre and financiers were understandably reluctant to loan them money “If they were high profile publicans they would have no trouble borrowing money but for the average person who has a desire for self-employment and to advance themselves in life the banks are just not interested,’’ Mr Langford said “The Inglewood Inn is a highly desirable venue it’s sensibly priced and it’s certainly been very profitable “(The obstacles to selling) are frustrating but I understand it “This will have to go to a second-or third-time publican so that the banks are not adverse to approving funding.’’ third parties have written and supplied the content and we are not responsible for it completeness or reliability of the information nor do we accept any liability or responsibility arising in any way from omissions or errors contained in the content We do not recommend sponsored lenders or loan products and we cannot introduce you to sponsored lenders We strongly recommend that you obtain independent advice before you act on the content realestate.com.au is owned and operated by ASX-listed REA Group Ltd (REA:ASX) © REA Group Ltd.

The Inglewood Police Department responded to a call reporting a shooting at 8911 Aviation Blvd. at 3:39 p.m. Two women were taken to a trauma center in Long Beach in critical condition, a spokesperson for the L.A. County Fire Department said. Inglewood Mayor James T. Butts Jr. said that a male suspect was taken into custody in Koreatown around 5:45 p.m. The Los Angeles Police Department made the arrest after police in Inglewood shared a description of the suspect’s license plate and vehicle with partner agencies, he said. The suspect, whose name was not immediately released, is believed to be a former employee, Butts said. The man was reportedly wearing clothing that resembled a security guard’s uniform and was armed with a rifle, he said. Both women were employees at the college, but their specific roles and what led to the shooting was not clear. “The crime motive was related to the employment at the school,” said Butts, a 19-year veteran of the Inglewood Police Department. “It was not a random act of violence.” A 9mm shell casing was recovered from the campus, he said. “Situations like this are very jarring for a community because it promotes a sense of randomness and threatens safety,” Butts said. “This is a college campus; you see no reason that there would be this type of crime at school.” Police spent more than an hour going from room to room on the campus in search of a suspect or additional victims, but did not find anyone, authorities said. Inglewood police said they cleared the campus about 5:15 p.m. A student at the school told ABC7 News that he and his classmates were told to shelter inside a campus building for about 90 minutes. “Everybody kind of got terrified at once and I just feel like we really couldn’t panic,” he told the station. “We really had to just kind of stay cool and the police were here to do their job and we just didn’t want to intervene, so I hope everybody that was involved is safe.” Spartan College of Aeronautics and Technology’s Inglewood campus is a trade school specializing in aviation maintenance education. Located a mile from Los Angeles International Airport, the campus offers an 18-month diploma and a 22-month associate degree to teach students how to repair and overhaul aircraft components and systems in preparation for Federal Aviation Authority certification exams. Campus President Christopher Becker told ABC7 that there is 24/7 security on campus and regular safety drills, fire drills and earthquake drills. “We’re an aviation school, so safety is one of the things that we focus on the most,” Becker told the outlet. “It’s a nice community of students and teachers and staff. We all get along really well, care about one another deeply and so this is hard on all of us.” Clara Harter is a breaking news reporter at the Los Angeles Times.

INGLEWOOD, Calif. — Two female employees of a Southern California technical college were shot on campus Friday and taken to the hospital in an incident that authorities attributed to workplace violence. The shooting occurred around 4 p.m. in an office at the Spartan College of Aeronautics and Technology campus in Inglewood, where Mayor James Butts said the suspect was believed to be a former employee. Aerial TV video showed a heavy police presence outside the campus in the city, which abuts Los Angeles to the southwest. One of the victims was in critical condition, Butts said. The Los Angeles County Fire Department confirmed on the social platform X that two people were taken to the hospital. A person was taken into custody after initially leaving the scene, Butts said. The Los Angeles Police Department said officers detained a male subject from a car matching the description of a vehicle linked to the shooting, which had been sent to local law enforcement agencies by the Inglewood Police Department. The Inglewood police did not immediately respond to a request for more information. The school went on lockdown for at least an hour after the shooting. Becker told KABC-TV that the campus is patrolled regularly and, as an aviation school, safety is one of its primary focuses. “It’s a peaceful campus,” Becker said. “It’s a nice community of students and teachers and staff.” The Spartan College of Aeronautics and Technology has campuses across the country. The college's Inglewood location, about a mile from the Los Angeles International Airport, accommodates 500 students and offers training programs focused on aviation maintenance technology, according to its website.

Inglewood Fire Brigade is well positioned for its next 160 years although Andrew said there is always room for more recruits. “We’re always on the lookout for people willing to help protect their local community we’d love to hear from you.” If you or anyone you know is interested in becoming a CFA volunteer, you can find out more here.

"The structure is very unsound at the moment and has caused us some challenges in getting inside the building to properly extinguish it," he said. The historic W Jennings store following a fire on August 29. Picture By Brodie Everist As of 5:30pm, firefighters had not fully extinguished the fire as the building was not safe to enter. Mr Suckling said initial reports had suggested people were inside the building during the fire, however nobody had been injured. Volunteer brigades were first on the scene and began dousing the fire at the back of the property. They were assisted by Bendigo FRV, who supplied specialist equipment including a ladder platform and extra air cylinders. Mr Suckling expected Brooke Street to reopen around midnight. Store owner David Oakley said he was outside the building, near Storm Lane, when the fire was believed to have started. He was walking back to the store when he saw smoke. FRV and CFA members attended the Brooke Street fire. Picture by Brodie Everist He entered the back of the building, went to the fire door and while holding his breath he quickly opened and closed the door. Mr Oakley said nobody was in the store at the time of the fire, which he believed was started by a sealed stove. He said his chickens and Maremma dog all survived the blaze, and the chickens are still for sale. Mr Oakley thanked the CFA and police for attending the fire.
