Kiwis need to Push Play for 30 minutes a day on most days of the week to reap health benefits. Winter is not an excuse to hang up the trainers.

We're thrilled that our message is reaching the right people. Throughout the year there was a consistent upward trend in the number of active New Zealanders.

This has been an ongoing problem ever since the Rural Health Clinic closed.

We have (integrated evaluation and planning) clinics scheduled the first Thursday of every month at Peoples Community Health Clinic and more often if needed. In addition to the (integrated evaluation and planning) clinics, the Child Health Specialty Clinic child psychiatrist is available in Waterloo via the Web cam at Peoples.

We didn't play with any intensity, then we came alive. The difference was the free throws.

We had practiced in the rain and did OK but it was still hard to play in it. We had some clubs flying. We were able to use some wind and rain suits compliments of the Charleston Country Club's Lady Evening League, and we really appreciate that.
