Wairoa District Council happy on it's own


(Hawke's Bay's five local body authorities will be amalgamated into one region-wide council...The new "Hawke's Bay Council" would replace Wairoa District Council, Napier City Council, Hastings District Council, Central Hawke's Bay District Council and Hawke's Bay Regional Council. It would also include a small area of Rangitikei District." http://www.nzherald.co.nz/hawkes-bay-today/news/article.cfm?c_id=1503462&obj)

Wairoa is in the Napier Electorate. Mary O'Neill Alliance Party Spokesperson for Napier met  in Wairoa with Min Johansen who is a Wairoa City Councellor. " I believe Wairoa is sustainable on it's own. We've got agriculture, horticulture, as well as forestry and farming. Wairoa is here to stay. Wairoa has no debts. We done it on our own, " Mr Johansen said.

Wairoa has the longest rural roading in New Zealand. "Our rate payers pay for QRS (Quality Roading and Services). That's why a lot of funding is taken up on maintenance of these roads,” Min Johansen said. If we get amalgamated this costs will be absorbed by all.

Please pick up a pen and tick NO in the asset sales referendum

Don't split hairs, don't sweat the small stuff, just pick up a pen and tick NO in the asset sales referendum. It's the principle that is important, not whether or not the National Govt will take any notice.

Be carefull what you wish for - Enrollment time at EIT

It's time for enrolment at EIT! Should parents know who their children are going to deal with and what level of education they are going to achieve?  Yes they should !  As a matter of fact most of the EIT lecturers are not overly educated.  Sheryl-Lee Judd who is a course coordinator for   Certificate in Sport and Health Massage has  completed a diloma level 4 in massage only.

For example if you enrol the Faculty of Sport and Health Science  you may have a Canadian lecturer, if you not happy with results you can go to Head of School called Patrick Lander who is British. He will tell you - lecturer can do no wrong. If you still not happy you can go further to the Dean of EIT called Susan Jacobs who is American. In saying that there is a conflict in educational standards between NZ, UK, USA and Canada.

Why do nursing students drop out of EIT (Eastern Institute of Technology) Hawke's Bay?

What is the reason for big nursing students  drop out of EIT in 2013?  Many of the nursing students who dropped out said that their  lecturers do not have a trust in them. It appears that the lecturers questioned student's hygiene in order to humiliate students, and set them to fail (OSH Ocuppational Safety and Health).  So many nursing students fail to graduate. It is not good.
