Masters Athletes Show The Way
Nine months of planning came to fruition as the TET Taranaki Masters Games ran from 12 - 15 March. Taranaki
poured on the sunshine for the 1020 athletes who entered. Competitors came from all over the region and further
afield; even a cyclist from Australia! Entering early
paid off for Brian D’ath as his name was drawn as the
winner of the $2,000.00 House of Travel voucher.
Emma Ducette was the winner of the voucher for
two to ‘ride the rails’. Well done to everyone who
participated, from those who won medals, those who
improved on their personal best times and those
who competed to complete (and did). Great job!!!!

The weather gods smiled on
WOMAD. A fantastic three days of
music, food and cultures from around
the globe. The festival may be held
each year but each year there is
something to drag you back, whether
it be for the three days or one.
It is so easy move from one stage to
another to taste the different styles.
Not to your taste, just move to the
next stage. It was entertainment in
itself to just observe the bowl
crammed with people, all happy and
enjoying the experience, to watch the
crowd, walk among the rows of food
tents as the smells of different
cultures wafted out, to wander
amongst
the huge variety of
merchandise on display, marvellous!!!

Editor’s Comments
A casual remark can often set you off on a
trail of thought. Last night after we had been
watching the news and with the impending
threat of the cyclone sweeping down the
country, “Have you got an emergency kit
Dad?” was the question.
My answer was that we have got all the
elements of a disaster kit but it is not all put
together in one place. It set me off thinking,
and I had a quick look at the Civil Defence
page in the Phone Directory that lists what
you should keep ready for an emergency and
what to do in the various disasters that might
befall us.
Right – we have got just about everything we
need but if we put it all together as an
emergency kit, where should we keep it. If
there is widespread devastation would we be
able to get to it? Then there is the question of
keeping it fresh. I would think that the water
would need changing regularly – or would it
be alright in a year’s time? The tinned food –
how long would that last for? Batteries for the
torch and radio how often would they need
replacing? These are all questions that I am
not sure about; I obviously need to do some
more research. In the meantime, let’s hope
that a disaster in any shape or form does not
come until we are ready to deal with it, or
better still not come at all.
I wonder how many of us have an emergency
kit all assembled and ready.

Lawns that are looking a little stressed really need to be fed now, and
new ones need to be sown so that the autumn weather will see them
germinate quickly, and get some growth on them before the winter
sets in. Keep the lawn seed moist until it germinates, a light sprinkle
morning and night should do the trick.

Pick any tomatoes that have ripened up, but
if you have any diseased plants, then pull
them out and dispose of them. Do not put
these plants into your compost bin, your
wheelie bin will do!
Seeds to plant in Autumn, can include
beetroot, bok choy, cabbages, carrots, leeks, lettuces, spring onions, while you can plant seedlings of Brussel
sprouts, broccoli, cauliflower, celery, silverbeet and spinach. As is always best practice, plant little and often, to
keep your vegetable garden producing just the right amount for your family. Try Side Sprouter Brussel Sprouts, but
nip out the first central bud, and you’ll not only get one head but a whole
bunch of small florets. If you already have sown leeks direct into your
garden, then you will need to thin to 10 cm apart. Did you know that you
can use the thinning's as baby leeks in stir-fries or use in place of spring
onions?
Prepare beds for onions, dig in compost and well rotted manure, plus a
good amount of lime, as onions don’t like acidic soil. Cultivate, then leave
soil to settle for a couple of weeks, then you’ll be ready to plant onion seed
directly into your prepared patch. They’ll grow over winter, and you can
leave them until they are ready to harvest – easy as. Well what are you
waiting for? Your garden is calling, have a great week.
Road Petition Progressing
(Kevin Rowan)
The petition to NZ Transport agency on safety
improvements to the Lepper Road/Junction Road
intersection is proceeding as planned. To date over 190
signatures have been recorded. The response so far has
been very pleasing with everyone expressing their support
for the petition.
The petition remains at the Inglewood library and is also
at the offices of Harcourt's Real Estate, Brookes Street,
for those who may find it more convenient to sign it
there. It is intended to wrap up this petition around the
end of March with the intention of presenting it to NZTA
in April.

As the athletics
season draws to
a close we who
have
been
i n v o l v e d
throughout the
season
have
been fortunate
to witness some amazing talent particularly
from the several Secondary Schools
Championships held at the TET Stadium.
The championships started with Stratford St
Mary’s athletics followed by Inglewood High
School. Six hundred from Sacred Heart New
Plymouth, one thousand from Girl’s High and
over eleven hundred from N.P Boys High
School and completed by athletes from
Waitara.
The accumulation of all the Taranaki Secondary
School representatives met on Thursday 12
March where all the top athletes proved how
strong the province is, in showing of their
talents over the variety of events held.
Numerous records were broken over the
whole period with each school having athletics
showing their talent at various events
Zoe Hobbs from Eltham was probably the
most outstanding with her sprint times and
long jump efforts coming on top of a record
breaking weekend at the Nationals.
The previous long jump record held was set
back in the 1960’s by Miss Helen Graham of
Lepperton at 5.35 metres.
Local athletes to break records during
Inglewood High School’s day were Nicole
Moratti, Int Girls Javelin 29.85 metre, Richard
Clough, High jump 1.71 metres, Triple Jump
11.88 metres. New to athletics, Malachi
Monahan Jnr, 100 metres 12.06 sec, High jump
1.62 metres.
The Community of Egmont Village now has access
to a defibrillator thanks to it being kindly donated

The apples are
falling from the trees, tomatoes are ripening
quickly. What to do with the surplus, bring
them along to Crop Swap and swap for
other fruit, veges, home baking, home crafts,
herbs or other abundant surprises that will
be filling the tables at the next Crop Swap.
The swapping is starting promptly at 10.30
am and not much is left on the tables by
11.00 am. Come along at 10 ish to add your
crop to swap to the tables, giving you time
to stroll around and look at the veggies,
eggs, home crafts, baking, recipes, flowers,
plants, seedlings, seeds, garden magazines
and much more that other crop swappers
have brought along to swap.
The next Crop Swap will be Saturday 28 March at Waitoriki Hall. Gold coin donation is
appreciated towards Waitoriki Hall funds and cuppa is included. Crop Swap is the last
Saturday of each month. Contact Jayne 7566192 if you have questions or ideas.

Rehearsals Under Way
Rehearsals are under way for Cue Theatre’s first 2015 production, “The Game’s Afoot, or
Holmes For the Holidays”. Ken Ludwig has chosen a rather odd way of naming his
whodunit, but the title suits the play which is full of clever word games.
The plot involves a group of actors who are relaxing at the home of their leading man,
hoping to celebrate Christmas and recover from their recent season in a Sherlock Holmes
drama. Although the Ludwig script is based on a real actor, William Gillette, who was well
known in the late 1920s and 30s for his obsession with the Sir Arthur Conan Doyle sleuth, there is no
resemblance to actual facts.
The play demands much of everyone involved. The art deco set is a challenge to set designers and builders, led by
Alan Stevenson and Peter Haines. It demands a good deal of ingenuity to say the least. Costumes being
researched and sourced by Mary Boekman are glamorous, and makeup and hairstyles, reminiscent of 1930s
Hollywood are being planned to complement them.
The props and décor are ambitious but production manager Francey Langman has a dedicated team to assist with
those. There are new members who are enthusiastic and eager to help Cue present this first class play, and they
are warmly welcomed. The cast are hard at work. Observing the way in which they are developing the diverse
and zany characters is enthralling, and the eccentric behavior of not only the actor characters but the “normal”
people in the play is hilarious. The critic/gossip columnist, the strange police inspector and the doting mother,
(and her darling
dog) enliven an
already lively plot.
It is all pure
entertainment. The
season will open on
Tuesday April 7. In
the meantime it’s all
GO! at Cue.

Few could argue that online technologies have not had a substantial impact on the
lives of all New Zealanders.
Communication, collaboration, content creation are all possible now in ways that
would have been almost unimaginable a generation ago.
Services like Instagram have
provided us all with just such
opportunities, to capture and
share a moment in time, to reach
out to others with similar ideas,
beliefs and values, or simply to
tell the world what you had for
breakfast.
But as we learn the skills we need
to share, post, tag, and like
online, there are rights and
responsibilities that must be
understood as well. It is this
combination of knowledge and
skills that makes us successful
digital citizens.
How do we learn them? Who do
we go to? Who is responsible for
making sure young people are properly equipped? While
we regularly hear advice given to young people to seek
the help of a trusted adult in times of trouble online we
know that increasingly adults are rarely a young person’s
first port of call in these situations. It is increasingly
obvious that it is not simply a matter of finding someone
that they trust, but more importantly someone who is
knowledgeable about the challenges that they face, and
can assist them in achieving a satisfactory resolution.
The challenge for parents then is to become that
knowledgeable guide, to be able to assist them, and to
ensure that they are well prepared for their online
experiences in the future. Part of that process is to be
familiar with how the technology works, be aware of the
kind of challenges young people may experience, and
work alongside them to achieve a successful resolution.
This guide will help prepare you to give your kids the
guidance they need.

The opening of the art exhibition at Fritz Reuter
Gallery on Friday 6 March 2015 was very well
attended by over 40 people. “The Four Jays” – Jill
Shearer, Jill Stonhold Turner, Jude Barnes and
Judith White – are all local artists.
Judith White has painted with watercolour, oils,
acrylics but now paints mainly with pastels. Judith
has exhibited widely throughout New Zealand with
success and she has also been awarded the TSA
Acquisitive Award for the 75th Jubilee. She is also
the President of PANZ.
Jill Shearer is a self-taught and well-known local
Inglewood artist has been painting for over 36
years. She specialises in the many moods of Mt
Egmont/Taranaki. Jill’s main medium is oils, used in
her sea and rural landscapes. Her mountain
paintings are residing in homes all over the world
as they make wonderful presents for
homesick expats.
Jude Barnes is an Inglewood artist
who works in pastels, acrylics, oils and
watercolours. She paints a wide range
of subjects including portraits and
animals and exhibits widely in
Taranaki.
Jill Stonhold Turner loves painting
what she sees each day. Jill uses
pastel, acrylics and also
monochromatic pencil studies. Jill
prefers to keep what she paints but if
anyone wishes to have a portrait done
of their horse, dog or cat, contact
her. Jill finds this a very rewarding way
of socialising with like-minded people.
With over 35 paintings on display at the Above: “The Four Jays” Judith

On Saturday 21 March Lepperton
School will again host Ride-On
Lawnmower Clubs from Bay of
Plenty and Fielding who are coming
to race against members of the
newly formed Taranaki Club. This event is now into its
third year and is growing in popularity as is the sport
nationwide. Whilst all mowers started their lives as a
household lawnmower, the similarity ends there! They
still maintain lawnmower engines but have been
modified to get the most speed out of them as possible
– blades off, body lowered etc – the speed they get up
to may just surprise some. The Taranaki Club recently did a display at Stratford Speedway to showcase their sport
and promote this event. If anyone is interested on checking these out, racing gets underway at 10.00 am and goes
through until 3.00 pm (gold coin entry into the school for spectators). There are also Drift Go-Karts in action again
this year, so they add to the entertainment. The supplier of the Drift Go-Karts is coming from Tauranga to have a
stall at the event, so if you think you might want to get involved in the racing the following year, come check out his
stall and start getting ready! This event is not just for the motor sport enthusiasts though, there are gala activities
and rides (bouncy castle, ferris wheel, quad bike rides etc) to entertain the whole family along with food and
refreshments for sale. For any enquiries, please contact Kat McNab on 027 3520881.
‘Prime Timers’ Visit Fun Ho! Toys (Vida Harkness)
On Tuesday 10 March, 23 members of the Waitara Community Church Group called ‘Prime Timers’ visited the
Fun Ho! Toy Museum. This is an interactive group and they meet monthly, going on outings with the aim of
meeting and making new friends, chatter and food. Among the members was Eric Bird, Eric had the Bird and Harris
Garage, adjacent to Harwood & Kay (now Z).
Harwood and Kay then leased the garage. Eric was at
one time the Inglewood Deputy Fire Chief when the
late Mr Noel Reesby was the Fire Chief.
Tarata Sheep Dog Trials will hold trials
which are scheduled to be held on
Enright’s and Leake’s Farms, Tarata
Road, 11 km past Tarata on April 10, 11
and 12.
The club has been experimenting with a
new event and now in conjunction with
its 107th Annual Trial, will be our
inaugural Night Hunt Event!
In typical Tarata style its launch on
Saturday 11 of April this year, will be
one to remember. It is planned, as usual,
to hold a BBQ meal that evening and then provide some entertainment while awaiting those all important main trial
results. Firstly a Bench Class or ‘Pretty Dog Competition’ involving Best Huntaway Dog and Best Huntaway Bitch
sections is to be run. It is to be judged by a Celebrity Judge who promises a TV One presence! This sheep dog
version of a Breed Show will also be under the guidance of a top trialist and judge. In an atmosphere where
working ability is prized, there is bound to be some debate which for sure MC, Jarred Coogan will be able to
handle. The evening’s entertainment will continue with a Huntaway Bark up Competition, (with no sheep visible).
Similarly this event will have a dog and bitch prize. It is heard that the judge will employ a decibel meter!
But the real business of the evening will be well after sundown - The Night Hunt. The vision of local, Tim Lobb, this
event is where one trialist and one huntaway endeavour to put three sheep up a hill, within a set time under

North Taranaki Federation decided to honour Founders
Day with a “High Tea”. The day started with quite a
damp morning but cleared at 11.00 am to produce a
beautiful day. We met in the garden of a lovely old
homestead, tables, chairs and umbrellas all set out for
us.
We were entertained by a family group Lindsay, Anita
