We need your help to find Alton Soldiers who went to WWI & WWIIOut at Alton, we think it is never too late to remember the
men & women who went away to War. Since we relocated our War Memorial with the names of 21 men who were killed in action in both Wars, we have wanted to have an accurate list of all the other locals who went & returned, to continue living their lives after seeing active duty in countries far from here.
While most country Halls & Schools have WWI & WWII Roll of Honour Boards hanging somewhere in their interior, we have never had one in Alton. So much effort & expense was put into the 18 tonne concrete & Finnish granite monument here for the men who didn’t return, but nothing enduring was done for those that did return.

So once again we will gather at the Hall this ANZAC Day to unveil two beautiful Rimu Roll of Honour Boards, at a service at 11am, followed by a potluck lunch.
A man who has helped me a huge amount in my search for names from the past is Newton Hodge. He lived in Alton in his early years, saw active service in Italy in WWII as a Corporal, & will be on the WWII Roll of Honour. The Hodge family were prominent in Alton’s early beginnings & feature on both Roll of Honour Boards. They arrived in Alton in 1879.

When the school closed in 1996, 40 Hodge children had been educated there, the most of any family in Alton, the next being the Amon family with 32 children.

A Christian WordAs a believer, a Christian who confesses Jesus Christ as Lord, I am puzzled as to why everybody else does not see the truth
– that is – God created the Heavens and Earth, that He made man in His likeness, that He also sent His Son (Jesus) born of a virgin, crucifi fed on a cross, died and rose again from the dead, and the fi rst to ever do so. God tells us in His word (the Bible) that He has placed all things around us – so that man is without excuse. Th at will become apparent to all mankind on that day of impending judgement. Perhaps ignoring or even denying our sinful nature and God, our consciences will appease us of our guilts.
I can remember my own denial of God many years ago, but on hindsight I think I was challenging God to prove Himself! But as I’ve mentioned God had already done this. If we take some reprieve from the driven state of our compulsions to get rich and succeed, (nothing wrong with this if it is done Holy) and stop for a moment or three to ponder such miracles as the birth of a child, fi nger prints, DNA and the individuality goes on, considering that billions of people have been born in such a uniquely individual way!
Take a sunset, a close friend, our concern for people’s catastrophes that are happening far too oft en today – but we symptathise, we care. Why? Because we love. Where did we get this powerful emotion from? Th e apes? A big bang? We are too wonderfully made and far too intelligent.
We are made in the likeness of God and God is love. An animal will leave a sick/dying animal but we as humans would fi nd this too powerful to resist, we care – we love! My prayer for all mankind is that when you experience situations that stir something almost alien in you and it stirs something powerful and emotional – stop at this point and take a huge courageous step of faith and ask God to reveal His presence to you and I know He will, because I asked Him once to prove Himself real to me and He did! Hence my query – why people do not want to know if Jesus is real? God’s given you a brain, the brain’s main function is to get answers! Ask the question!
Come Lord Jesus! Ted Reeves, Patea
Journeying into a New Year
At the beginning of a New Year in the church we remember the Magi who visited the baby Jesus with their gift s of gold, incense and myrrh. Th ese magi were the sort of people who were looking for something, willing to risk a journey, brave enough to venture forth on the search. And when they reached the goal of their search, they felt “overjoyed”.
Some people love their home comforts so much that they never go on a journey. Th ey love being in control of their surroundings and the one thing that makes a journey diffi cult is that it places us at the mercy of the trip. Every trip is a risk.
Every baby is a risk, too. Th e birth of Jesus set a whole train of diffi cult, bloody events in motion. Th e baby that the magi discovered was not the end of the journey, but the beginning, as Christ always tends to be for those who follow him. Note I said, “for those who follow him.” We don’t just “believe” that Jesus is the Messiah; we follow him as Messiah.
Th at one who was baby Jesus continues to call us onwards on our journey, a journey which is to be a source of great joy. As we willing go forth we have to be prepared to relinquish our sense of comfort and control and go to where the star, and its Lord leads us in 2015.

Patea Market & Car Boot Fair – a continuing story ...
Th e community Market has now been running for 10 months. Th ere were the knockers who said “it won’t last long because the Patea Community will not support it” and some negative people even took bets on whether it would survive 2 months or 3 months! BUT, not only is the Market still going it is expected it to grow in 2015. Th e stall holders and car booters have loyally stuck with it from Day One when we bravely set up our fi rst Market on a cold, dark morning at the beginning of Winter. “Madness” the negative doubters said it was madness“to start an OUTDOOR market in Winter”. It was a risk and a challenge but overcoming the obstacles has always been the route to success and always will be. AND WE HAVE SUCCEEDED. Every staller and booter and all our supporters should pat themselves on the back!
Most of our Markets have been held on the grounds of the former Patea Primary School and the market thanks the hapus who own those grounds, for so willingly accommodating us and thereby being such valuable contributers to this community project.
Our venue is now under Turi’s canoe so we still have the great visibility from passing traffi c and we also have access to power for the times when we fortunate enough to have the presence of the music man. Th e rainy day venue will , as in the past, still be on the footpath at the South end of Egmont St (opposite our fl ash, bright toilets) Th is area is also a great place for the market but it is narrow as well as close to the busy main road, so it is a little hazardous for small children.
Th e aim of the market has always been to provide a regular monthly event which would not only be an enjoyable event for all, but a place where organisations and individuals could raise funds. Th e United Church has taken advantage of this opportunity, every market day, by selling their very popular mussel sandwiches. I am sure this has contributed very nicely to their cause. Organisations, clubs, charities etc are always in need of funds so hopefully more will follow the lead of the United Church rather than only sourcing funds through charitable grants and sponsorships.
Th e concept of the market has always been based on the philosophy of it being a market “By the community, for the community” and that it must be entirely self supporting. Th is means that all the fees the stall holders pay go back in to the development/ promotion etc of the market and we do not request operational grants or sponsorships. We survive on a shoestring budget and no one is paid for contributing to the running of the event. If anyone feels they require proof of this they are welcome to contact me and I will show them the accounts.
One of the best bits of news we have for 2015 is that from February, PATEA AREA SCHOOL is going to participate in the market. Th is is an excellent, pro-active decision which will make our School more visible to the community at large.
Over the last year, I have visited many markets in NZ and Australia. I am very proud to say that the Patea Market is up there with the best for quality products at good prices, variety and a friendly atmosphere. Be proud of it Patea.
It is only 1 week till Waitangi weekend and what a great weekend it will be in Patea! On Friday the 6th, Waitangi Day - the famous Paepae In Th e Park music festival – always a superb event.
On Sunday the 8th - Patea Market and Car Boot Fair with the added attraction of a display of Mustang Cars. See the Mustang cars at Patea Market & CarBoot Fair on Sunday 8th February.

Patea Squash ClubPatea Squash Club held their fi rst meeting for the year on 21st January, and began gearing
up for the new season. Tournaments, Business House Team’s Event, and AGM are all looming. Our secretary is resigning so we will be on the lookout for new blood. Any one keen to do their bit for the club please get in touch. It would also be great for anyone wanting to get their bar licence to jump on board as well. We need qualifi ed people to be able to keep the bar open. We also need an auditor for preparing the books. Any takers out there? Our AGM has been put down for 30th April. Th ere has been no Th ursday Club Night running since just before Christmas. Numbers attending were dropping as the temperature rose, and end of year events took precedence. We might look at revamping this and perhaps having it less oft en.
Our one major tournament for the year is on April 3rd and 4th. Th is is also Easter and the start of the school holidays so might be an awkward time. We will see how we go for entries. With Friday, April 3rd a holiday we might be able to use the whole day for squash games and enable us to fi nish early on the Saturday. Business House Team’s Squash is due to start on March 5th. Teams of four. Th is is a while away yet. Plenty of time to stack your teams, and get down to the courts for some practice. Anyone out there with a squash key from a previous year please return it to the club so we can recut them.
Last year we had a suggestion to start a monthly league competition, enabling members to play some diff erent people each month. Th is was organised for those who expressed an interest and put their names on the list, but the result was disappointing with very few of these games being played. We will revisit this to check if anyone is keen for it to continue. It takes a bit of work to set up the draws, so is not worth doing this if no one is taking advantage of the eff ort.
Th e painting of a mural on the outer wall of the club is being discussed. We hope to get a group of painters in the community to showcase their talents for this, as has occurred on the toilet building in town. It’s great to see these bright spots appearing in the town.
Waverley Golf CroquetNow half way through our 2014/15 season we have been blessed with reasonable weather
throughout and the lawns have withstood some harsh winds and hot sun very well. Th e Park, Hawera visited us early in the season and a very pleasant day of Golf Croquet was enjoyed by one and all.
Seven of us entered into an Open tournament at Th e Park, Hawera, on 17/1 and came away with most of the prizes. Our ‘wild card’ Ursula partnered with her friend Maureen in Hawera and won their section, Cheryl and Chris won the raffl es.
Th ere is still more to come in the next couple of months so we hope that those of you who have been away over the holidays will be able to get back into the swing very soon. One very important event coming up soon is the Doff Lupton Memorial Cup. All members are expected to be involved in the draw so we urge you to come along and play while the lawns are playing well.
Weekly raffl es are still very popular and we have had a wonderful selection of items donated either homemade, homegrown, all edible and/or very useful. It is still not too late to come along and join in and learn to play Golf Croquet. Our Club days are Wednesday and Saturday aft ernoons at 1.15pm.
Carlyle Women’s InstituteWow, February already! We hope everyone’s had a great start to 2015. Carlyle members and
guests met at the Fat Cow on December 5th 2015 for their pre-Christmas lunch; gift s were exchanged, crackers pulled and jokes read. A lovely meal and great time was had by all. Our fi rst meeting is on the 5th of February 2015 at the Patea Old Folks Association rooms. Come and join us for the aft ernoon, fi rst Th ursday of each month, 1.30pm. Hope to see you there.
Mainly Music ... a time to meet new people, spend quality time with your child, learn and enjoy!

Th e Sociology of Collective Bargaining in New Zealand
Th e concept of collective bargaining as been a necessary part of the New Zealand way of living, due to the introduction of factories for the largest sector of Gross Domestic Product in this country, Agriculture. Most rural hubs during the late 19th and early 20th century was populated with dairy and meat processing factories with the large majority of these factories having an union infl uence. However, union membership hs been in decline over the last few decades.
Union movements was a thought in the late industral revolution among exchange unionists to unite the diversions of labourers and off er answers for all work issues. Unions at fi rst composed as specialty or exchange unions. Specialists were sorted out by their ability: craft smen, handymen, bricklayers, each into their individual unions. Business people could regularly separation art and exchange unionists thusly in boundary question. As entrepreneur undertakings and state administrations got to be more unifi ed and bigger, a few laborers felt that their establishments expected to wind up correspondingly extensive.
New Zealand has a long history of transaction aid to aggregate haggling gatherings, and this paper evaluates two contemporary tests in this convention. Transaction of Police pay and conditions is aided by the synchronous contribution of intercession and assertion, with the development of the arrangement process. Two late expansive scale reviews in New Zealand to test the diff erent reasons given for lower rates of union enrollment among more youthful specialists. More youthful laborers’ unbalanced area in littler working environments and those commercial enterprises where union compass is least records for a signifi cant piece of their lower union thickness. Alongside the inclination of more youthful specialists to investigate their choices through work turnover, this component off ers a greatly improved clarifi cation for the more youthful more established laborer union thickness hole than do statements around a development in independence in Generations X and Y. Th ere is a becoming development around the globe that advances the idea of a living pay for low pay specialists. A living pay is characterized as “the salary important to give specialists and their families with the fundamental necessities of life
In recent years, there has been a continuous move in impact from the go between to the referee. Aid to other arranging gatherings getting into trouble is accessible, where intervention has fi zzled, through a developing “help” process. Of a few methodologies tried for the sake of ‘assistance’, mollifi cation in the New Zealand custom is surveyed as giving the best support to settlement for dealing gatherings, while both pacifi cation and arbitration methodologies to help can have a more key eff ect on haggling impasses (McAndrew, 2012). Union participation and aggregate haggling scope is on a downwards drift in numerous created nations, and this is obvious in New Zealand. Some recommend this decrease is bringing about customary methodologies to aggregate haggling being supplanted with a more communitarian style.new Zealand unions and the ideas of aggregate dealing have been minimized then as of late managed some level of authenticity.
Th ere has been a basic move far from aggregate dealing and industry plans to individualised and working environment based business relations in New Zealand in the course of the most recent two decades. Th e decrease in socialism may have genuine unanticipated results which have yet to peculiarity conspicuously in executive talks on livelihood relations. Th ere are specifi c New Zealand components at play as the nation tries to counter the aft ermath from the worldwide money related emergency, high youth unemployment, and a mass migration of gift ed specialists to abroad work markets. Specifi cally, the restricted development in statutory least wages has had a negative eff ect on low paid workers as have the legislature’s diminishment in representative qualifi cations and its accentuation on work, even low paid work, being an approach to manage business and welfare issues
Western, high GDP per capita nations, for example, New Zealand are persistently confronting comprehensively comparable administrative quandaries, have regularly tried to acquire and adjust certain legitimate components from each other. Th ere are noteworthy contrasts between mechanical frameworks and sacred conventions, along these lines providing reason to feel ambiguous about the thought that there are authoritative legitimate arrangements which can be connected through transplantation. Rather, it appears worth considering the various potential outcomes for laborer voice off ered in dissimilar settings, not just through conventional manifestations of work law, additionally such option disciplines

Patea Waverley Garden ClubOn 17th December several club members met in the Main Street of Waverley and were
pleasantly surprised when they visited the beautifully manicured colorful gardens behind the Hall in Weraroa Road. Sue and Bruce have a large property which they obviously tend with love. Following this members travelled to John and Marie Deadman’s “Willowbank” home and enjoyed a Pot Luck Christmas tea where Christmas gift s were exchanged.
In January most of us got into our gardens and pulled the never ending supply of weeds that seem to appear from nowhere in our gardens. Most gardens are now looking ship shape but very dry with the lovely summer weather we are experiencing at present.
Th e next visit will be in Waverley on 18th February – members should meet outside the Old Post Offi ce in Waverley at 6.15 pm and from there we will travel to two gardens. All those attending should bring $2-00 and a plate for supper.
Th e annual plant swap will be on 18th March so get cuttings etc organized for this popular event which this year will be held in Patea at a venue to be advertised next month.
Contact Margaret or Cheryl in Waverley on 06 346 7070 or Sue on 06 273 8135 or Karen 06 273 8397 in Patea, with queries, all new members welcome.

Th e above trust generates funds from the sale of fi rewood about the districts of Waverley, Patea and sometimes further afi eld. Th e fi rewood is sourced from trees generously made available by local farmers, cut up and the shed stored at their base in Waverley for a year before sale as dry fuel for those cold winter nights.
“While generating a signifi cant amount of funds, large projects involving thousands of dollars are out of our league, none-the-less we are able to provide some support for such ventures” says Chairman Gordon Leigh.
Th e Trust recently allocated their fi rst support funding to applicants from within the STDC southern ward ie Manatahi to Nukumaru. “It was pleasing for the Trust to consider more than a dozen varied and worthy causes in this our fi rst allocation,” says Leigh.
Financial support has been provided for the following: Patea Youth Centre, Waverley Croquet Club, expenses relating to a South American service project for a secondary school student, Waverley Mainly Music, Waverley Standby, Waverley Pony Pals, and also provide provisional support for the Patea Old Folks Association, Patea Planting trust, Waverley Primary School and the Alton Hall.
“Benefi t to the above would not be possible without the generosity and support from local farmers, log transporters, Waverley Sawmill, Waverley Gas, Waverley Bulk Transport, Riverside Mowers, Markhams, and River City Tree Services. It surely is a wonderful experience for the Trust to be associated with so many positive, caring and supportive people. Also acknowledged are those who purchase their fi rewood from us…these are the people who transform our product to the dollars the Trust distributes,” says Leigh.

Aft er all the excesses of eating and drinking that oft en accompany Christmas and the summer holidays an unpleasant surprise may be in store! Gout, or a pain in the big toe! Th e big toe is the part of the body that is most oft en aff ected, but ankles, hands and knees can also be involved. It is more commonly seen in males and with increasing age, with over one third of Maori men and at least one quarter of Pacifi c men aged over 65 years aff ected by gout.
Gout is a form of arthritis and a gout ‘attack’ usually comes on very quickly, oft en overnight, with extreme pain and swelling in the joint. Th e skin over the joint can become hot, red and shiny. Without treatment, the pain will go away – usually in about a week to ten days. Left untreated, however, over time ‘attacks’ can become more frequent and more severe. Eventually, permanent damage to the joints can occur and there can be painful disability. Untreated gout also can lead to kidney damage and, increasingly, it is becoming clear that gout is linked with obesity, high cholesterol, high blood pressure and diabetes – all of which are risks for cardiovascular disease (heart attack, stroke and angina). Gout is a condition that needs to be taken seriously, and not left untreated.
So, what causes gout? Th e proteins in the food we eat are digested and broken-down to produce a chemical called uric acid. If the body produces too much uric acid or if the kidneys are unable to remove the uric acid, then uric acid levels will rise. Small crystals form in the joints and swelling and pain result. Gout ‘attacks’ can be ‘triggered’ by an excess of certain foods and alcohol. Foods rich in purines (which break-down to form uric acid) are the ‘bad guys’. If you have experienced gout pain, or know you have high blood levels of uric acid, cut-down on, or avoid eating, foods such as off al (liver, kidney, tripe, sweetbreads and tongue), large quantities of red meat, shellfi sh (mussels, oysters, pipis, paua, kina), and large amounts of legumes (peas, beans and lentils). Drinking lots of alcohol, especially beer, can also bring-on gout so it is best to cut right down and instead drink plenty of water. Soft drinks with sucrose and fructose interferes with the kidneys removal of the uric acid and so should also be avoided or limited.
Some medicines, e.g. certain ones for treating high blood pressure and fl uid build-up can also trigger gout. Your Self Care pharmacist will help you with advice and information about gout and medicines. Being overweight also can contribute to gout ‘attacks’ so talk with your Self Care pharmacist about ways to lose weight, and have a look at the Weight and Health Self Care fact card.
Th e pain of an acute ‘attack’ can be relieved with medicines such as non-steroidal anti-infl ammatory drugs (NSAIDs). Th ere are also other diff erent types of medicine available to prevent gout long-term. Th ese need to be taken all the time, on a regular basis, even when you don’t have gout symptoms. Th ese may be prescribed for you by your doctor.
With gout, prevention really is better than trying to cure it. Preventing the build-up of uric acid means controlling weight, blood lipid (cholesterol) levels (see the Reducing Your Cholesterol fact card), blood pressure (the High Blood Pressure fact card has useful information) and blood glucose levels (see the Type 2 Diabetes card). If you only treat the acute ‘attacks’, rather than trying to control the underlying problem, kidney damage and cardiovascular disease are increasingly likely.
So, don’t dismiss that bad pain in your big toe, or any other joint for that matter! Talk with your Self Care pharmacist, or your doctor, about pain relief and what you can do to prevent further ‘attacks’. Most likely, it will mean using gout preventative medicines to reduce high uric acid levels, as well as making changes to your lifestyle and diet. Ask the pharmacist for a Gout Self Care fact card to take home as a reminder of what you need to know and be doing.

Brake seeks bereaved families to help spread life-saving messages
Brake, the road safety charity is looking for people aff ected by a road crash to get in contact
and help to pass on vital road safety messages to communities. Th e charity is particularly looking for people who have been bereaved or seriously injured
in a crash and who would be willing to share their story and help others to learn from their experiences.
Brake communicates vital messages as part of ongoing road safety campaigns, and during Road Safety Week (4-10 May 2015). Th ose who get involved would be asked to provide a case study of their experience. Th ere are then opportunities to get involved in diff erent activities depending on how you wish to be involved. Th is could involve: providing quotes and/or giving interviews to media; sharing your story in your local community; helping Brake at an event, roadshow or stand; and/or various other activities.
Potential families or individuals can discuss their experience with Brake before signing up, and those taking part will be provided with training and support.
Brake’s NZ director Caroline Perry says: “If you’ve been aff ected by a road crash, you know fi rst-hand what a traumatic experience it is. Sharing your experiences makes others stop and think about the devastating eff ects of a road crash, and helps spread vital messages about staying safe on roads. Whatever the cause of the crash, we would like to hear from you, so if you think you could share your story I encourage you to contact us.”
Th e theme of Road Safety Week is Look out for kids, focusing on keeping our kids and our communities safe, so Brake is particularly looking for families who have been aff ected by a crash involving a child or young person, and/or a crash that happened in a community/residential area.
Many people bereaved in road crashes fundraise for the charity in memory of their loved one. Anyone who wishes to do this can go to www.brake.org.nz/fundraise for ideas. If you are part of an organisation or group that would like to get involved in Road Safety Week activities, more information is available at www.roadsafetyweek.org.nz. People interested in providing a case study, or organising a fundraiser can contact Caroline on 021 407 953 or email [email protected].
Brake also provides support resources for people bereaved in crashes. A book for children, called Someone has died in a road crash, and one for adults on coping with grief, are available for free from Brake. Th ese can be ordered by calling 021 407 953 or emailing [email protected].
