Many high schools report that vaping is a growing issue despite the 18+ legal smoking age and this has been associated with the proximity of schools to vaping retailers.

Recent amendments have been made to The Smokefree Environments and Regulated Products Amendment Act to limit nicotine in products and cease supply to those born in/after 2009. Less retailers are to be approved and product packaging made less appealing.

Until March 15, public submissions will accepted regarding these changes, especially around the location and quantity of retail stores as well as the appeal and addictiveness of smoked tobacco products.

Because of your generosity, our ladies are thrilled to be able to keep on knitting/crocheting/sewing etc. as the needs are great and ongoing. As a result we are constantly needing wool to keep on working. Once again, our grateful thanks. If you have any spare wool in the future, or know anyone who might be willing to donate some to our cause, then please don’t hesitate to ring me and I will collect or arrange collection. With kind regards and grateful thanks.

The Call of the Kokako (Picture gift book)

Maria Gill. New Holland Publishers (NZ) Limited, 2011. Hardback, 32 pages. Excellent condition.

A picture gift book produced as a handsome hardback edition with evocative illustrations by talented artist Heather Arnold using watercolour, pen and ink, pencil and acrylic.

Described as 'grey ghosts' because they are seldom seen in New Zealand forests, kokako are known for their incredible song.

This book delves into their world - one preyed upon by predators in a shrinking habitat. It tells the remarkable story of how the kokako, New Zealand's last remaining species of wattlebird, is being saved.

A second part of the book tells a special story - this is the successful quest of one conservationist to save 10 kokako from a forest about to be felled.

Price: $10

WOOL NEEDED
Do you have any wool or acrylic wool that is surplus to your requirements? Our group of ladies make squares and strips that are knitted or crocheted into blankets. We also make jumpers, hats and scarves. These are sent to a distribution centre in Moldova for distribution to very needy people in Romania, Moldova and the Ukraine. Right now the need is very great – there is war in the Ukraine, and Moldova and Romania are very close by. The people live in constant fear for their lives and there is little work and much poverty to add to their woes so if you can help, we would be very grateful. We are willing to do the knitting etc but we are constantly running out of supplies so any amounts – big or small – would be gratefully received. The children in the group picture are displaying blankets made by ladies from our group. Call me if you can help and I will arrange to pick up any donations you might be willing to give. Many thanks.
