*****************************

This month I would like to say that the hearts minds and souls of the people of Taranaki are with those who are hurting, or being hurt, due to the Terrorism that has struck the minds and hearts of the people of the world. We in Taranaki live at the bottom of the world, untouched in our own paradise, but with full realisation that the world is hurting, and we pray for you all. Lila Smith.
