5 We believe that food plays an essential role in our community; it brings us together, shapes our memories, and empowers us. In 2011 we published a community cookbook titled Rubber Track Skid Steer & Tip Truck Hire Volcanic Kitchens, come and join us. The initial idea for the book was based on a concept of promoting and celebrating what Rotorua and the wider Driveway & Farm Race Maintenance Central Plateau has to offer. This was to be done through Landscape Contouring Gerhard’s photography and the contributed recipes. House Sites Cuts Service groups were given the opportunity to sell the book Driveway Dig Outs with profits made going back into the community. The Te Whakapono Health Trust used the money raised through Top Soil Spreading their sales towards a second haemodialysis machine for Maharo, the Rotorua Satellite Dialysis Unit. There was Suppliers & Cartage of Aggregate’s Metals a lovely connection with this in that one of the patients who attended Maharo regularly and Aunty Bea who & Recycled Crushed Concrete Products was the founding member of the Trust in 2004, had both Gap 20, 40, 65 contributed recipes. Another service club to benefit was a Drainage Metal 20/7, 40/20, 65/100 local Rotary Club; they sold copies to raise funds for their Breakfast in Schools program. Copies of Volcanic Kitchens sold out quite quickly and we For Friendly Advice Call Kevin are often contacted to see if we would be doing a reprint. on We have instead decided that the time is now right to publish a Volcanic Kitchens revisited. 0274927722 The concept remains the same, a book about Rotorua and the Central Plateau bursting with favourite family recipes or Email: and colourful images promoting our area. Once again, the [email protected] book will be made available to community groups and schools who will be able to sell the book to raise funds. We are asking people to contribute recipes. The only criteria are that it be a proven recipe. It would be great if you would include a brief foreword. Is this a family favourite? Where or from whom did you get the recipe from? What memories does this recipe evoke? A bit of NGONGOTAHA kiwi humour is always appreciated, we don’t it to be toooo serious! We wish to include recipes from all sectors of our society, the famous, the not so famous or your next door neighbour. Open We wish to have a representation of the different cultures who have chosen to live here, those who have grown up here, and those who have since left but still have fond 7 days memories and ties to our area. The original edition had contributions from Buck Shelford, Tim Beveridge, Aunty Bea, Ynys Fraser, Sarah Walker, Tessa Duder and many others. It takes quite a long time to publish a book; collate all the recipes and photographs, design and then have it printed. Mon - Sat Volcanic Kitchens revisited will be ready for sale in 7:00am – 7:30pm September/October next year, in time for Christmas 2020, however we need to start getting your recipes in now, so Sunday please email your contribution through. 7:30am – 7:30pm

THE MOUNTAIN NEWS 10TH MAY 1980 - BLAST FROM THE PAST
HERE AND THERE BY JWJ LEPPER The great hue and cry at the moment is about watering down of wine, could be carried on to a further stage to include many other practices that affect unsuspecting housewives when they buy normal household items. Where they really could be caught is in the field of liquid detergents, hand cleaners and most anything which is compatible with water. Sauces, jams are also of different strengths and are made up with fillers. How many times have you read the label that says a fruit essence is 'artificually coloured and flavoured?" After Shave lotions and other cosmetic liquids can also be suspect, and there doesn't seem to be any way in teling the real thing from a poor imitation. Be alert to these problems and when that dishwasher you've been using for years doesn't seem to be doing its job, try another brand, or better still, buy the base materials and add water to your own specifications. Ranginui Street Reserve After receiving a letter from residents in Ranginui Street, the Council have cleared that drainage reserve so that people can improve the access to the Lake themselves. It's nice to see people who are willing to help themselves and make the offer in writing rather than sending in the usual "what can you do for us" sort of letter so often received by Council. Sewerage Contractors have started on this major job and while the digging is going on, Parents are asked to keep their children away from the works, as they could come to some harm if they are not careful. Waiteti Damage Apparently the other night some youngster who was upset with something at home, simply walked out of the house and smashed a Motel sign and then damaged the front window of a house. Somebody should make sure that the message is given to the culprit, that this type of behaviour is not wanted in our Community. More Centennial Celebrations Ngongotaha Style Don't forget the great cake and vegetable competition coming up soon. There will be competitions with 1st, 2nd and 3rd cards presented to the participants for the best entries of sponges, scones, pikelets etc. I am not sure of the classes but details can be obtained from Andy Burnett. All articles will be on tables outside the Mecca in Ngongotaha by 3.30pm Thursday 22nd May. Judging will take place and cards presented, then at 5.30pm all entries will be auctioned for Charity. We are hoping that local Womens organisations will participate but any person can compete. There may even be a prize for the best entry by a male. The vegetable competition consists of vegetables such as peas, silver beet, beans etc. All produce will be distributed bythe Lions and Kiwanis at the end of the celebrations. 7 Want to trade latte’s for gumboots?

Our next featured Rotorua Trainer is Iain Kennedy who was born in Zimbabwe and moved to the UK in his late teens to further his interest in working with horses. He played Polo and groomed for Prince Charles, and then after completing his Osteo Studies moved to NZ. He was very keen to get involved in horse racing and the first horse he had shares in was named Cotillion with local identities Brownie (Brownies Spit) and Richard Anaru. Cotillion was destined to become something special until a training accident ended her career before it had hardly begun. In 2011 his wife Linda suggested that if he wanted to continue his involvement in the racing industry he would need to get his trainers license, and ride them himself as there was no way they could afford it otherwise, so almost 9 years on and 19 wins under his belt, all their spare time is spent with horses which they say are very easy to collect. Dontdyewonderin who they raced with Brownie was their first success story with 3 wins and numerous placings, she is now in the broodmare paddock with the first 2 foals on the maiden racing circuit now. Endean Rose who they raced with owners Andrew Burton and Linda Hunt proved to be a wee super star, she had 6 wins as well as placing 3rd in the Group 1 Livamol and 2nd in the Group 2 Travis Stakes. She was sold to Australian interests and had a filly last year to "Russian Revolution" and is now in foal to "IAm Invincible"- Winx's new man. Iain is currently racing Lady Shabeel who already has 6 wins under her belt and was 3rd in the Listed Matamata Cup. Others to watch out for are Endean Lass, Prestigious Lad and Master Oakleigh, he also has several younger horses in training, so plenty to keep them both busy. On the results front for Rotorua trainers this time, the Pomare team has been flying! "Call Me Evie" won the Maiden 1200 at Tauranga , then quickly followed with a 2nd in the 1400 at Ellerslie, a 2nd in Tauranga and a 3rd recently at Te Teko. Donna Anne Billy almost got there when she was 2nd in the Group 3 sprint, and then recently followed it up with a 2nd= in Tauranga in the Open HCP 1400. Ocean Billy also went really well, held up a bit and came home for 4th in the Rating 72- 2400 proving he can definitely go over distance, and then proved he knew exactly what it is all about when he won the R72 2100 at Tauranga. These horses are all showing some real ability and promise for the future. Michael Murray's "Outtalign I Am" won the maiden 4yo & Up 12.15 at Rotorua Iain Kennedy's "Endean Lass" ran a very nice 3rd in the Matamata Mdn 1400, 2nd in the Matamata maiden 1600 Donna Fleming's "Koolascuz" ran a nice 4th at Matamata then won the maiden 2000 at Matamata then 4th in the Matamata 65 - 2000
