Poetry Prize Presented at PaperPlus

(l to r) Rob and Kaye Clarke, Gill Ward, Sue Jamieson, Alan Tristram, Hilary Wooding

The Kapiti Independent’s first poetry prize worth some $85 has been presented at a ceremony in Coastlands PaperPlus.

Editor Alan Tristram presented $50 worth of book tokens and a ‘Book of the Month’ (from C/Lands PaperPlus) to Sue Jamieson, who was representing the winner Cherllisha Silva.

Cherllisha’s winning poem ‘The Western Link’ appeared in KIN on August 12.

The Editor says the standard of entries was high and the competition will now become a regular bi-monthly event.

KIN thanks Kaye and Rob Clarke, poets Gill Ward and Sue Jamieson, and Hilary Wooding (former KCDC councillor and Head Librarian) for their support.

STORY OF THE WEEK

Judith Holloway says the Government could come up with a multitude of attractive, inter-active devices to push Te Reo along in schools. ('Learning Te Reo, Part 2, 13/9/18)

Modern kids are addicted to kapa haka and similar activities, she says. And this would be better than compulsory Te Reo.

She adds: 'This would also be a chance for older native speakers of te reo, who are not professional teachers, to come into schools and offer their help to the kids (on a paid basis, I think and hope) using the technical devices as a mutually-inspiring stimulus.'
