The emphasis has shifted from correcting structural problems, to include energetic and emotional dimensions that give Craniosacral Therapy an important role to play in the emerging paradigm of mind/body medicine.

It is a gentle whole body therapy where therapists are skilled to feel the body’s intrinsic movements and pulsations as they emerge from the core of the body. Identifying disturbances to this subtle motion, therapists are able to build up a holographic image of underlying restrictive patterns and facilitate their release. Its gentle approach makes it suitable for all ages –

“I’ve always wanted to follow this dream of mine, I just didn’t quite know how to achieve it. It wasn’t until I bought my horse Sam, an ex­ eventor/ex­racehorse that came with a whole lot more ‘baggage’ than I bargained for, that I started my search,” says Zenya. ?-#'$%#3"4* @%$:* $:"* treatment Sam was receiving, Zenya set about learning to do it herself, searching for an effective healing method for Sam that was more than just a “band­aid.”

Having already studied four healing techniques including, cranial sacral, reiki tummo, equine touch & sports massage, Zenya was introduced to a method called Flinchlock Release Therapy by her current teacher and founder of ConTact C.A.R.E, Dale Speedy.

“When I was introduced

to Flinchlock Release I felt (%A"* B* :'4* 3-'((,* ;<7-4* @:'$* I’d been searching for. In my opinion, it’s the most effective '-4* ";32%"-$* :"'(%-.* $"2:-%C7"* that really gets to the core of the problem for horses and people,” says Zenya.

Zenya explains that Flinchlock Therapy focuses on locating and releasing trapped bone pressure, which can be triggered by a combination of unresolved impact injuries.

“If the impact is being held by the body at bone level, the rest of the body starts to compensate in order to cope with pressure, resulting in shortened harder ligaments, tendons and muscle fascia.

This creates joint imbalance, tension, body aches and pains, along with behavioral and performance issues,” says Zenya.

Since its launch, Zenya has been pouring her heart and soul into her new venture – and it has paid off – with business blossoming recently through word­of­mouth.

Originally providing treatments just for horses, Zenya %#* '(#<* ;7((,* C7'(%3"4* $<* $0"'$* people as well as other animals.

Two give way rules are changing

1

These rules are changing to make our roads safer.

They come into effect on Sunday 25 March at 5am

2

If you’re turning right, give way

Top of the ‘T’ goes before me

This rule will apply at intersections where two vehicles are facing no signs or signals, or the same signs or signals.

You will need to give way to left turning vehicles coming from the opposite direction if you are turning right.

When you’re turning right from the bottom of a T-intersection with no signs or signals, you will need to give way to all vehicles at the top of the ‘T’.

This will also apply at driveways, including public driveways such as at a supermarket or hospital.

NTA 0885

Raglan book chosen for Munich Book Fair The Scent of Apples by Jacquie McRae (Huia Publishers, 2011) has been selected by the Munich­ based International Youth Library as part of their annual White Ravens 2012 as one of the outstanding international books for children and young adults released in the last year.

The Scent of Apples will be presented at the Bologna Children’s Book Fair to be held from 19 ­ 22 March 2012.

The Scent of Apples is one of 250 titles chosen from 40 countries out of thousands of books received from all around the world.

‘I’m in awe really, my little book on such a big stage’ said Jacquie. ‘I hadn’t actually heard of The

White Ravens 2012 and I’m just googling it now’.

Just back from the Wellington Writers and Readers Festival, Jacquie said she was inspired by some of the well­known writers at the Festival such as Australian writer Kate Grenville. ‘Hearing her speak about the long, hard process of writing made me relax and realise that I’m in good company.’

That’s the message from KASM – or Kiwis Against Seabed Mining – which wants to see as many locals as possible meet down by the surf lifeguard tower from 10am to have their voices heard.

“Come as who you are,” says Phil McCabe, keen to keep the anti­mining message alive after more than 200 locals turned out recently for a silent protest march up Bow Street and on towards the one­way bridge to see off mining company Trans Tasman Resources executive Andy Sommerville from a marae meeting in Raglan.

Lotto win for Raglan A lucky person who bought a lotto ticket from the Raglan Pharmacy last weekend was the winner of the Second Division prize claiming a cool $10,740 in the process.

The weekend saw 36 other Division Two winners however with 12 of the prizes claimed by a single person. The multi­ winner from Nelson won a huge $154,158 in total by using the same sequence of numbers ten times with different Powerball numbers.

This win brings Raglan Pharmacy’s Division Two winner’s tally up to 15 in addition to the two Division One tickets they have sold so far.

Letters: Dear Editor I was pleased to see the page 3 story in last week’s Chronicle on the huge success of the Maui Dolphin Day. It is important for positive community stories such as this to be given recognition in the news media.

I was surprised though that you didn’t cover the story of the 15 Raglan passengers who were not allowed on the Raglan bus in Hamilton on the previous Wednesday. These 15 people, including school children, were told to wait two hours and handed a multi­colour Waikato Regional C)%*9"3&D=ECF&31/G1#&$/;"*'&#."$&8/;&./001*& (1'%3/(3;<& H.1& 31/G1#& 0%#& )%#& 6;& =EC& $/;$>& “Therefore we recommend that parents ensure their children have been able to board the bus in the morning before they continue their day . If the 3.40pm bus from Hamilton to Raglan is full, there is another bus at 5.40pm” It doesn’t say what parents are supposed to do about children stranded in Hamilton, or even how they’re supposed to know they’ll be late home.

The problem seems to be that WRC have a very strange contract with GoBus and that there isn’t any system to allocate money collected on the Raglan route to the Raglan service and therefore no money to provide extra buses. Even if they doubled the fares, WRC could still say, ‘we haven’t got any money’.

Along with my fellow Raglan Community

Board member, Bob MacLeod, I attended a meeting in Ngaruawahia on Tuesday to meet with District and Regional Council staff along with Councillors to discuss the problem. The meeting was frustrating. Even though the adult Raglan­Hamilton fare went up 11.3% and the child fare 48%, and passenger numbers have surged, WRC are saying they have no money to provide additional buses.

Part of the problem relates to the large number of passengers from the life style blocks around Whatawhata that are now catching the Raglan bus. Hamilton Taxis has mini buses available at a low per km rate that would allow WRC to provide a service from the Whatawhata area to the Hamilton Transport Centre within the current income and take pressure off the Raglan service.

All ideas such as this one that might solve the problem appear to be instantly rejected by the Waikato Regional Council. I have been told that bus passengers are currently compiling a petition. I understand the frustrations that are causing this. District Council staff are continuing to work on some options. The Raglan Community Board will continue working with the Regional and District Councils to come up with an answer.

Dear Editor We’d like to say a huge thank you to all the parents, friends, children, teachers and the following businesses for supporting the Te Uku Gala: The Shack, Skoot, Lime, Orca, Tonic, The Sugar Bowl Cafe, Water Tight Construction,

Well done to you all. We also had several young person’s teams, and they faced up to the challenges extremely well... It is rewarding to see people developing their skills of the games as they continue to play.

The results board has been closely watched weekly because it has been neck n neck most of the way through the whole competition. We ended up with two winners, BGW & Taxis, with equal points of 20, and three teams on 18 points (one game in it!). The Chocolate Fish went to Rusty Boys.
