Waverley FunsticksThe first session of the Waverley Funsticks hockey programme was held on Tuesday 17th
May. There has been a fantastic response to the programme with 37 registered participants for the first block of sessions. The programme is run with the support of Hockey Taranaki and it was great to have Joanna Scott, the regional development manager, come down from New Plymouth to help get the first session underway.
The Funsticks programme is designed to introduce new players to hockey with the emphasis being on a fun experience. A number of activities are set up to work on fundamental skills with a fun game being held at the end of the session.
A big thank you to the parents who jumped in and helped out for our very first busy session! We are all volunteers so any help is welcome and appreciated. Let’s make this a success for the children in our community while also making use of our local facilities.

New exhibition opens at Aotea Utanganui: do you know the story
of transportation in South Taranaki?Across the Centreline is an exhibition experience exploring the history of transportation
in the South Taranaki district over the last 120 years. This exhibition showcases heritage photographs, moving image materials and social history items telling the story of the changing face of transportation and how this affected the work and social lives of our communities.
This exhibition focuses on specific events and people associated with the transport story in South Taranaki. From the story of the migration of Māori to Aotearoa New Zealand as they arrived by waka to the saddle and harness shop established by James Graham in Pātea in 1882 to cater for the increased demand in horse transport, to McCarty & Hunger Ltd which was established in 1878 by Rudolf Hunger and John McCarty as blacksmiths, farriers and wheelwrights; these stories speak to the heart of the rural transport story.
We also have on show a 1905 Darraq motor car, on loan from Jim Baker, which is a fascinating look into the craftsmanship of vintage vehicles from this era. The future of transportation is also investigated, from the greening of the automobile industry with the introduction of Tesla Motors, and other possible modes of future transport including the flying car.
This exhibition has been generously funded by the Taranaki Regional Council (TRC). Across the Centreline is now open and runs through until November 2016. Entry is free however koha is always appreciated.

Patea Squash Club Team’s Event Under Way
Th ursday 19th May saw the fi rst night of the Squash Club’s Team Event get under way. Eight teams of three players each have entered and will all play each other over the next six weeks. By the fi nal night on 30th June we will have found a winner. Th is evening will wind up with prize giving and a supper. Although the team captains have their team sorted, there are always times when players can’t make it for various reasons, so anyone keen to put their names on a reserve list can do so by getting in touch with Jenny on 027 556 7134.
Th e club has been looking at options for continuing in the future, and a meeting was held a couple of months ago to discuss possibilities. Any decisions will need to go through an AGM. Th is is to be held on Sunday, June 12th at 7pm, Squash Club rooms. For the club to carry on we need committee members to run it, so anyone is welcome to come along and put their hands up. If the response is positive we can set the subscriptions for the year and any new members can then join up and have the use of the courts for a year.
Our men’s interclub team have started their competition, playing other clubs around Taranaki. Last year they did very well so hope they can continue their good form this season.
Patea Lions ClubAs you are aware the Lions have suggestion boxes around town; we are wanting ideas for
projects for the future. We have the Peter Parsons garden looking good and John Hughes, with the help of Colin Schrader, is tidying up next to the Chemist.
Lion’s soups will be starting again on the 10th of June. If you would like soup once a week phone Kay on 273 8661. If anybody has a surplus of veges they would be welcomed and put to good use making soup.
Lions will be running a Triathlon for children on the 19th of February 2017, ending with a fun day at the Domain.
We have inducted two new members at our last meeting. New members are welcome – meeting are on the fi rst Tuesday of the month, 7pm at Red Rock Café.
Prince Phyllis. Th e family of Phyllis wish to thank everyone for their kindness, on the recent passing of a much loved mother and Nana. For the baking,cards,and phone calls, we were surely blessed. To Judy and her staff at Te Mahana, and Dr Maria and the staff at the Patea Health Centre, thank you for all you done to keep Mum comfortable. You were all brillant, and so respectful to Mum and our family. We counted on you all and are so grateful for everything.
NOTICE RE PATEA OLD FOLKSI would like it to be known that aft er twenty years and six months as Treasurer of Patea Old
Folks I did not accept nomination for this position at the Annual General Meeting Tuesday 3rd May 2016. I will no longer be taking hall bookings and other duties I have been responsible for.

Waverley PlaycentreTh is month at Playcentre we had a visit from the Primary School’s Room 2 class, we had an
awesome time playing along side them & showing them all of the fun things we do each week. Th e gloop, paint, sandpit, carpentry & family play areas were all a hit. We look forward to next terms visit where we will get to go back to the school.
Although there are at least 16 areas of play at each session there are always a few that are the most popular, for example the sandpit and water play, but as the majority of our children are reaching the 2-3 year age group we are noticing their love for role play; especially doctors and fi remen. It is so neat to watch them learning through play and interact with each other and some of the things they say can be very entertaining.
Th is term each child again received 2 books to take home thanks to the Duff y Books in Homes program and we got to add another book to our library. We have just recently had a change around inside and have a new reading area with a big net teepee and lots of comfy cushions which we encourage all the children to use for story time.
Playcentre hours are 9-12pm Wednesday and Friday; if you are interested in joining feel free to come along for a free session during these times.

Term 1 Principal Award: Alex Carrick for an outstanding attitude to his learning.
Ballroom DanceTh is term the Years 5-8 students will be travelling to Brunswick
hall for four sessions of ballroom dance with instructor Mark Glastonbury. Th is is a West Cluster initiative so all the schools will be participating. From the lessons, a small group of promising dancers will be chosen, by Mark, to compete in a local competition. I wonder
whether Waitotara has any future “Dancing with the Stars” talent? (I’ll keep you posted).BarkOur school is looking
magnifi cent at the moment. We have new bark on the playground and gardens - what a diff erence it makes.
Zappo Th e MagicianA special thank you to
the Maxwell Kindergarten for inviting us to see Zappo the Magician. It was a most entertaining performance and had us all wondering; how did he do that? Th e children thoroughly enjoyed the morning tea kindly provided, and particularly playing with all the outdoor equipment; we had builders, painters, landscapers and more.

Kakaramea School - ‘Together We Achieve’Dear Parents/Caregivers & Community Members,
JUNIOR CAMPOur junior camp was a great success. School camps
are very important to the make-up of our school and are always a fun time. Camps are vitally important to our school because they build quality relationships; which in turns strengthens the culture of our school.
It allows our children to form better relationships with their peers and have a better understanding of each other. It allows our teachers to build a stronger understanding of each child, create stronger relationships with our children and further develop the relationships with parents. All this creates a stronger school culture.
Our Year 6 students went to Wellington (13th May-
16th May) to attend the Young Leaders Conference. This was a great experience for our Year 6 student and a camp I enjoy each year. It was an awesome opportunity for the Year 6 students to develop and improve their leadership skills and knowledge. The Year 6 students visited Te Papa Museum, attend the Young Leaders conference, went swimming, explored Parliament and the National War Memorial, stayed at Wellington Zoo and challenged themselves at rock climbing!
ASSEMBLY REMINDERThe next school assembly will take place on Friday 3rd
June at 2:15pm on the school astro turf (Weather permitting) or Kauri Room. The next assembly will be hosted by the Kauri classroom. All parents and family members are welcome to attend our whole school assemblies.

Room Manuka have been learning to write with interesting detail. We have used our camp memories to practice this.
At the Splash Centre I splashed into the big, blue bowl of water like the hail jumps from the sky. In the water I played all day with Charlie and Lucy like a happy unicorn. After all the fun play we went to Kowhai Park. At Kowhai Park there was a big dinosaur slide. I went up the stairs of that slide and slipped down.
By Jonty Gibbs Yr 3
My favourite memory of camp was in the fun fast fantastic pool. The lazy river made me move as fast as a fish in the water. I had races in the pool. Sometimes I tried jumping round in the pool.
By Bela Baldwin Yr 3
My favourite memory of camp is when I went down the big twisty hydro slide. I went down with Aaliyah. I was screaming. We were zooming like cheaters. We stayed the night at the Marae. I slept beside Jonny and Kyarana, Jonny snored it was annoying.
By Bernie Vanner Yr 3
My favourite memory of camp was throwing my Teka and running to grab it. I pretended it was a rocket discovering outer space. I was crafty during play.
By Phillip Linnel Yr 3
My favourite memory of camp is when I went on the lazy river; it was as lazy as a koala. I kept grabbing onto Gabe’s niece and I kept falling off. It was great fun.
By Matai Burley Yr 3
Room Kohwai in writing have been working on adding detail to their writing by using action verbs and adjectives. The children have been writing about their favourite memories at their overnight stay at Tauranga Ika Marae and then their day trip to Splash Centre and Kowhai Park.
My favourite memory was when I was playing tag with my best friends Jalyssa and Nevaeh. It was super fun climbing on the bars. They were shining like the sun. I also liked making all the special poppies at the Marae.
Tahlia Mafile’O, Year 2
My favourite memory on camp was when I went on the black, dark and wet hydro slide. I was slipping, sliding and zooming down the slide.
Jack Shrider, Year 2
My favourite memory is at the Splash Centre when I was playing and floating in the pool. The pool at Splash Centre was as warm as a hot tap. My favourite part at the Marae was doing the poi songs and watching the movie Inside Out. Another favourite memory was having our yummy dinner.
Neveah Abraham-Pullen, Year 2
My favourite memory was when I was playing bull rush. I was running on the slippery grass. I almost got Aaliyah. I was right behind her then got her, she was surprised. I also liked building and playing with the rocks and sticks.
Nick Schrader, Year 2
My favourite memory was when I played bull rush and tackled Charlie. At the Marae I did the Karakia and I was shy. When we went to Splash Centre I went zooming down the orange hydro slide and I was racing mum down. She caught up and we both won. I went on the lazy river too.
Lucy Honeyfeild, Year 2
Room Fern have written some stories about the activities they did at the marae. The children are learning to write a sentence using some words and sounds they know.
I did singing and kapahaka. I did the haka.Johnson Baxter-Broughton, Year 1
I played the feather game.Lucas Skittrup, Year 1
I liked the rakau sticks. We had to grab the other person’s stick.
Zion Lawrence, Year 1
The poi toa was fun and the hula hoops were tricky.Ruby Murdoch, Year 1
My favourite game was picking up the hanky. You pick up a rock and put the rock in front of you and you made your foot pick up the hanky and put it on top of the rock. It was fun.

GROWING GOOD PEOPLE FOR A CHANGING WORLD
Some of our Senior Students in Wellington atNational Young Leaders Day 2016.
“It was inspirational and helped us to form our future goals” - Kaena Anderson
PRINCIPAL’S NEWS Th e start of this term has been action packed with many events and successes achieved by
our students. Th is newsletter gives some insight into what our school community has been involved in.
Learning is always at the forefront of everything we do and term 2 has seen us re-group our literacy and numeracy classes across the school based on recent assessment results and data.
STAFFING NEWSAs our roll continues to grow we are fortunate to be able to continue to employ other
members of our community. Freedom Whakarau-White has joined our team, assisting staff and students.
Th is fl uid grouping means that we are using ongoing testing to ensure our students are being both supported and accelerated in these two key learning areas. Alongside this our students are being given regular feedback on their next steps for learning - National Standards, Middle School Diploma and NCEA tracking. It was especially warming to see close to 30 of our Middle School Diploma Students going to Reward Day as a celebration of being up to date with their Diploma thus far.
Winter sports are well and truly underway with students involved in training with their teams. We do appreciate the eff orts of all of our coaches and managers. Th eir ongoing support is crucial to the development of sports in our school and community.
We are also very lucky to have a newly re-formed Fundraising Committee who are working to aid our students to attend events, competitions and overseas trips. More recently we have secured $5,000 worth of donations from the Blue Light for our students to compete overseas and go to Fiji as part of our Whole Day course of Voluntary Services Abroad. We are also delighted that Ngati Ruanui are sponsoring 3 of our students to go to Los Angeles next month to visit Silicon Valley and Stanford University as part of an innovative approach to ensuring our students are leaders of 21st century learning.
Th ank you again for being part of this exciting journey of development for the family of Patea Area School

Waverley Golf CroquetThe 2015/16 season is now closed for lawn maintenance etc. Because the brilliant summer
weather ran into May we have indeed enjoyed a longer playing period. We have had a very successful season, mainly due to very good weather most Club days, in
fact, it has almost been too hot to be out there playing. However, everything is in good shape and a lot has been achieved around the club rooms and outside areas, thanks to the support from members and their husbands! New members were welcomed during the year and this augers well for the 2016/17 season. This has been due to a very good working committee with Cheryl Rapson at the helm. We have had good fields on our Club days, Wednesdays and Saturdays, however, due to unforeseen circumstances, family reasons and ill health a few have not been able to attend regularly. You have not been forgotten and we hope that we may see you again next season.
A most successful afternoon recently was spent down on the Wanganui Croquet Lawns where we were hosted by the Golf Croquet Ladies and Gentlemen. Waverley Ladies as expected were in the points prize money and Chris How won the lovely raffle donated by Dawn Symes.
The experience gained by playing away is invaluable to us and we have been very lucky to have enjoyed playing against the Park Hawera, Taranaki Masters Games and Wanganui.
We will officially close with an afternoon tea on Wednesday 1st June. Notices will go out as usual of our pre season meeting to be held mid August.
Many thanks to our supporters, sponsors, volunteers and especially to John and Marie Deadman for their many voluntary hours spent tending to our lawns. Here’s hoping that everyone weathers the winter months well (goes for our lawns too!) and we will see you all in a few months.
Card afternoons will start in a few weeks on Thursday afternoons. For further information, please contact Ursula on 346 5149. Guaranteed to be lots of laughs and haggling. This is open to everyone, so feel free to bring along a friend or two.
Patea & Waverley LibraryPlusThe Queen by A N Wilson.Biographer and novelist A. N. Wilson, whose most recent work on the life of Queen
Victoria was an enormous critical and commercial success, turns his clear eye to our own Queen, Elizabeth II, as she turns 90.
In this unusual and vibrant examination of the life and times of Britain’s most iconic living figure, Wilson considers the history of the monarchy, drawing a line that stretches from Queen Victoria to the bloody history of Europe in the twentieth century, examining how and why the Royal Family has survived. He paints a vivid portrait of ‘Lilibet’ the woman, and of her reign, throughout which she has remained stalwart, unmoving, a trait some regard as dullness, but which Wilson argues is the key to her survival. He outlines the case for a Republic, arguing that this will almost certainly happen at some point after her reign is at an end, at least in Australia.
In part historical overview, but with a keen eye to the future, A. N. Wilson writes with his signature warmth, intelligence and humour, celebrating the life of the Queen and her role as figurehead of Britain and the Commonwealth, while asking candidly whether we can remain a constitutional monarchy.
Talk to me by Qasim RashidThe name of the book is simple yet some of the topics it addresses are complicated and at
the forefront of the media more than often. Racism, terrorism, bigotry and religion.I thought I would be reading a biography and it is in parts but also it’s so much more. I was
introduced to people who the author allowed to tell their own stories in chapters of the book which backed up this simple complicated message of Talk to me.
The book took me through a raft of emotions - I laughed at some parts, smirked at other parts (the author has awesome comebacks when confronted by people who hurl hatred at him), was outraged in more than a few chapters and cried at some of them. I had moments where my eyes popped out of my head and I had to go back and re-read in places.
I could imagine some people might start the book and fear they might get preached at or think the book might just be trying to sell the religion of Islam. I found it exactly the opposite.
In Talk to me I found myself identifying with some of the experiences mentioned and sitting wondering if I’ve been living in a safe little bubble all of my life in others. I love how the author uses his own life as an example and the book isn’t filled with a whining narrative about how unfair it all is but instead you can see how his experiences shaped the person he is today. Qasim Rashid writes in a challenging yet practical style designed to open our eyes, make us think and hopefully to not be afraid to ask questions and listen before making judgements. He invites us to have our own conversations about things we don’t understand before we allow the media to make up our minds for us. I engaged with this book from the first words which were incidentally “I frigging hate that guy.”
The book isn’t yet in our collection but it’s on its way so stay tuned. Review by Opunake Branch Librarian Maria Brewerton.
Order at Patea or Waverley LibraryPlus for your winter reading pleasure. Shelley and all the team.
Carlyle Women’s InstituteCWI met at the Patea Old Folks Hall for their April meeting, discussing business as usual.
Our guest speaker, Jacq Dwyer, spoke to us about the War Memorial at Alton. She became interested when the monument was shifted from Alton School to the site at Alton Hall. The new monument was unveiled in 2014. Jacq researched the names of the soldiers on the monument and these were unveiled in 2015.

New exhibition space opens in iconic old bank Th is month the Govett-Brewster Art Gallery opens a
temporary art space in New Plymouth’s former TSB Bank. From 29 May until the end of August the historical building will house a string of exhibitions that showcase the work of Taranaki artists and works made in response to the region.
Th e opening exhibition celebrates one of New Zealand’s leading photographers, Peter Peryer, who has lived in New Plymouth for the past 15 years. Curated by Head of Exhibitions and Collections at the Govett-Brewster, Sophie O’Brien, Peryer’s exhibition includes more than 20 photographs and objects, some of which have never before been exhibited.
Peryer has been taking photographs since the 1970s, building a body of work that has been exhibited and acclaimed on both a global and national level. Several photographic works by Peryer are held within in the Govett-Brewster Art Gallery Collection, as well as the collections of National Art Gallery Te Papa Tongarewa.
Curator Sophie O’Brien says Peryer’s work attracts our attention to the usually unseen elements of our environment many of us overlook. We are invited to re-imagine everyday objects and situations through Peryer’s lens, in a series focusing on plants, animals, landscapes and built structures.
“With a highly selective eye, Peryer focuses intently on chosen objects to reveal their inherent beauty, playful humour, or deeply unsettling nature. Th ese are images made using a careful and instinctive process, created aft er intense refl ection. Th ey slow the viewer’s eye so that we might more subtly engage with the materiality of the world around us, says Sophie.
Chloe Cull, Govett-Brewster Assistant Curator says Peryer has been thinking about this exhibition as a whole, as an art work in itself. “Th e exhibition space, the works in it and the way they are displayed are all very important to Peter; his artworks were selected with careful regard to this iconic Taranaki building,” she says.
Th e original TSB Bank has been revitalised as an art space, with the original architectural features incorporated to embrace the structure’s rich character. Th e building which has a category two rating from the Historical Places Trust was formerly the TSB Bank city branch and was founded as the New Plymouth Savings Bank in 1850. Th e interior has been freshly painted and new lighting installed, ready for public use for the fi rst time since it was declared an earthquake risk and closed in 2013.
Colds & FluColds are inevitable in the winter season, aff ecting many
in the community. We have all experienced the symptoms, which oft en start with a dry (raspy and sore) throat, leading on to other symptoms such as coughing, sneezing, runny nose, blocked nose and headache.
Th e common cold lasts for a few days – around 5 to 7, and there is no cure. Th e nasal passages and throat get infected by viruses that keep changing every year, so it is hard to develop a cure. Your own immune system is your best defence.
Recovery is helped by resting in bed, drinking plenty of fl uids, water is best and not smoking (this is a good time to quit, so ask your Self Care pharmacist about the Quit Smoking fact card).
Colds are not serious for healthy people. People oft en, mistakenly, think that antibiotics will treat a cold. Antibiotics won’t because they don’t work on viruses, which is what is causing the cold. Antibiotics will be useful for a cold only if you develop a secondary bacterial infection - like a chest or sinus infection. So when you have a cold, don’t go to the doctor expecting to get a prescription for antibiotics.
Doctors are oft en cautious about prescribing antibiotics as colds are not bacterial infections and due to concerns about bacteria becoming resistant to antibiotics, then prescriptions for antibiotics may not be given.
People oft en refer to a cold as the fl u (infl uenza). While it is caused by viruses and, like the common cold, spread by coughing and sneezing, the fl u is a much more serious and severe infection. Th e fl u comes on very quickly and oft en will be accompanied by very sore and achy muscles, and a high fever. It also tends to last longer than a cold (about 1-3 weeks).
Flu vaccinations are the way to guard against getting the fl u, but you need a new vaccination each year because the viruses keep changing - making the past year’s vaccine ineff ective against current fl u ‘bugs’. Accredited pharmacists are now able to administer the fl u vaccine in the pharmacy for your convenience. Speak to your Self Care Pharmacist or see the Fighting Colds and the Flu and the Infl uenza fact cards for more information.
Although medicines can’t cure the common cold they can help relieve symptoms, especially when you are feeling miserable and having trouble sleeping at night. Self Care pharmacists can help you choose the right medicine for your symptoms. “Lozenges or gargles are available for sore throats,” recommend Self Care pharmacists.
“Decongestant tablets, nose drops, nasal sprays or steam inhalations can help a blocked nose, particular antihistamines can relieve a streaming nose associated with a head cold, and paracetamol and ibuprofen reduce fever and relieve head ache. Cough suppressants can help dull a dry irritating cough. Other cough medicines can help loosen phlegm.”
Products with many diff erent ingredients are available to treat more than one symptom at a time. “It can be a bit confusing” advise Self Care pharmacists, “so it is best to ask us for advice”. Taking products with lots of diff erent ingredients also makes it easy to double-up on medicines without realising. Th e most common example is cold preparations containing paracetamol for pain and fever when you are already taking paracetamol on its own for headache. Check with your pharmacist to make sure and also check with your pharmacist in regard to any regular medication you have been prescribed.
And a very important warning! Do not give cough and cold medicines to children under 6 years of age. Current research shows they aren’t always eff ective, and can cause harm. Children with colds should be allowed to rest, made to feel comfortable and be given plenty of fl uids.
In some cases it may be appropriate to give saline nose drops, or to give honey drinks to children over one year of age to soothe a cough. Talk to your Self Care pharmacist about this, and about what alternatives are helpful for children and babies. Th e “Coughs and Colds” fact card is also very helpful so get this from your pharmacist too.

Whenuakura School“Growing Personal Excellence”
What a busy start to the term we have had at Whenuakura School. Our roll continues to grow, and we look forward to welcoming some new families aft er the 1st June dairy change over and also a number of 5 year olds over the next month.
Th e senior students have enjoyed a bike safety session, and enjoyed learning new skills. Dog Safety ProgrammeAll of the school enjoyed a most informative session on dog safety. Many thanks to Taranaki
Veterinary Centre for delivering these valuable lessons. Th ey learnt about dog behaviour and “body language”, how to approach a dog, what not to do around dogs and what you should do if a dog rushes up to you.
Mrs McGrath and I have enjoyed a very productive day in Wellington, receiving Professional Development in ALiL (Accelerated Learning in Literacy). As a school, we are thrilled to have been accepted into this Ministry funded programme, and are excited about using our fi ndings and resources with our students to enhance their learning.
National Young Leaders – What an awesome overnight trip we had with our young leaders. Th e students were amazing, and certainly soaked up every opportunity they could to learn and discover. I would like to thank Andrew Hurley for accompanying us as well – it’s always good to have an extra pair of hands. (And I’m sure it was a “learning” experience for Andrew as well!!)
Congratulations to the following students who received awards at our recent assembly- Hemi Powell-Hawea for wonderful reading and writing- Ashlee Hutton for great eff ort and attitude towards her maths learning - Ruby Humphrey, Principals award for settling into school and wonderful bike skills. Weirs Bus Company are looking for a bus driver to drive the Whenuakura loop, starting
term 3. Th ey will provide some training, so if anyone is interested in this job please contact us at school.
Some of the Room Teina children have enjoyed their holidaysIn the holidays I went on a plane to Auckland. My mummy missed the plane and I went
with Daddy. We went to the airport. I loved it on my holiday it was fun.Year One, Maria MurphyIn the holidays I played on the games. I watched cartoons too. My teacher got stuck in the
mud, it was funny. But it was not real. I was riding on my scooter every day in the holidays. Year Two, Elijah BaxterIn the holidays we had an ice block when it was night time and because we had an ice block
we also went and got some lollies. Th e lollies were in packets. I rode my pony and I liked it. I liked the holidays but I like school too.

Taranaki Hockey Junior FestivalWith growth in junior participation at an all-time high, Taranaki Hockey will look to
build on its momentum through this year’s Inaugural Junior Hockey Festival in Stratford. Th e festival, which will take place over Queen’s Birthday weekend, includes the Pennington Cup for children in Years 6-8, and the TET Junior Cup for Years 3-5.
Prospective umpires, coaches, managers and volunteers are also encouraged to take part in the action on the 4th and 5th June at the TET MultiSports Centre. Taranaki Hockey received a grant in the latest round of awards from the Taranaki Electricity Trust. Th e added money will go towards further growing the game by expanding on the successful Small Sticks programme in schools and supporting the Regional Development Manager for player development.
Taranaki Hockey executive offi cer Reachelle Beasley said the growth of the sport in the region has shown how the entire community has embraced the sport.
"In 2015 Taranaki Hockey delivered the Small Sticks programme to more schools than any other association in the country, which is just awesome for a region of our size,” she said.
"We delivered hockey to 36 schools last year, up on 24 the year before. Th at saw us reach 7244 children in the Taranaki region.”
Th is year Taranaki Hockey are aiming to reach 8500 children delivering the sport to 41 schools. Ms Beasley said the Small Sticks Program has had a direct infl uence on growing winter player numbers.
“Our focus on delivering hockey into schools has assisted the region to sustain a growth in winter junior player numbers of 20% per year for the previous three years. Th is year our growth is expected to be around 24% which will be the highest growth seen in the region in many years”.

Oily Rag Budget 2016By Frank and Muriel Newman
Last week the Government released its Budget, and given that lots of people had lots to say about lots of things, we thought we would report on the Oily Rag Minister of Finance’s Alternative Budget.
Th e fi rst paragraph of that budget speech went like this: “Let us not wallow in the valley of despair. I say to you today, my fellow Oily Raggers, that even though we face the diffi culties of today and tomorrow, hold true to the dream - a dream deeply rooted in the pockets of our people. Th e dream that one day we will have enough money to provide food on the table for our families and takeaways on a Friday – with sturdy shoes for our children, and cosy slippers for all. We want warmth in our homes equal to the warmth in our humanity...”
Policy announcements included:• Making better use of “down time”. According to Statistics NZ every person watches about
14 hours of television a week. Th at’s equivalent to about 2 days working - or over $200 a week for the person on a minimum wage. How about using that down-time to take on casual work, or use it on money saving activities like growing your own fruit and vegetables.
• A garden and orchard for every home. Raised gardens are so easy (and transportable). Pretty much anything can be used to hold the soil, but it needs to be about 300mm high. Most people use timber, but old (free) car tyres also work. Of the many things that could be grown throughout the year, try some of the following: tomatoes, courgettes, sweet corn, silverbeet, broccoli, potatoes, beans, carrots, lettuce and other salad greens. Th at’s the free veges taken care of, now add free fruit trees. Th e biggest job is deciding which tree will grow and where to put them! Planting should be done between pretty much from now on until early spring. Dig a hole about one and a half times deeper and wider than the root ball of the tree. Th e perfect backyard orchard would have at least: one lemon, orange, grapefruit, mandarin (for school lunches and snacks), tamarillo, fi joa, plum, peach, passion fruit, two apple trees (one eating, one cooking), and a grape vine.
• Swapping surplus. Eliminate waste by swapping or giving away what you are not using - surplus produce from your new garden for example - for things that are useful. But remember, kindness compounds, so spread it around.
• Clear out the house and garage. Although the amount of money tied up in household items may not appear very great, most families accumulate various “bits and pieces” that are no longer of use. It needs to be admitted that oily raggers are known to be hoarders, so they usually have lots of stuff to turn into cash. Surplus assets typically include: a second car, sports gear, boats, books, caravans, clothing, old furniture, and so on. When sold, all these bits and pieces add up to serious money that can be used to knock a serious dent in a family’s mortgage - or be converted into something else that could bring the family pleasure.
• Never go past something that’s free. Everything is worth something to someone. One oily ragger recalls being off ered a piece of old machinery that was cluttering up shed space. He did not need to think twice. Quicker than you could say “ummm, ahhhh” he stripped it down and sold the workable parts through an online auction site and other bits to a scrap dealer. He made a tidy sum which was a nice reward for a little bit of time and initiative. It’s amazing how much stuff is free.
• Don’t buy stuff on credit - and certainly don’t buy from door-to-door hawkers that cruise the low income areas.
Th e Minister’s speech concluded with this: “Fellow Oily Raggers, these are brave and forward-thinking initiatives. Remember to always ask not what others can do for you, but what you can do for yourself. And, in conclusion, ask not what this Budget will do for your family, but what together we can do for all families.”

Greens launch state house solution to housing emergency
Th e Green Party today announced a plan to build hundreds of new state homes to help house New Zealanders who are living in cars, garages or on the streets.
Th e Homes Not Cars policy allows Housing New Zealand to retain its dividend and, in addition, would refund its tax, freeing up $207 million in the next fi nancial year to spend on the emergency building of around 450 new state houses.
“We have a housing emergency in this country, happening right now, and our plan is an urgent, direct response to it,” said Green Party Co-leader Metiria Turei.
“Th is plan isn’t the silver bullet for our housing emergency, it’s just the start, but the bottom line is we need the Government to build more state houses, not sell them off , or pretend the problem doesn’t exist.
“It’s shameful that in a wealthy country like New Zealand we have so many people sleeping in cars, in garages and on the streets.
“It doesn’t have to be this way. Th e Government has the power and the money to ensure every New Zealander lives in a warm, safe, dry home – it just lacks the will.
“We need the Government to show some compassion and common sense, and build more houses for our most vulnerable New Zealanders to live in,” said Mrs Turei.
