My Ancestors My ancestors came from Denmark, England and Scotland. First I will talk about my Dads Mums side of the family. My great great Grandfather Axel Jenson left Denmark on a boat in 1874 because where they lived was occupied by Germany//.// He was about 4 years old when his family came to New Zealand. He worked as a farm labourer, fencer and then owned the Takapau Hotel. Finally he brought a farm at Marakeke, married and had 11 kids. My other great great great Grandfather on my Grandmas side was Mathew Vesty. He came to New Zealand when he was in his early twenties, we think he was the black sheep of the family and they sent him to the colonies to make a better life. He owned a sawmill around the Onga-Tiko area. I found it hard to find out information on my Dads Father side of the family. We know his great great grandparents left from Leeds, Stains and Preston in England in the late 1800s but as to why they left England and what they did in New Zealand when they settled remains a mystery. Now to my mother’s side of the family. My great great grand parents left Scotland in the early 1800s after great hardships were forced upon them. It was know as they the “Highland Clearances” they were faced with three alternatives –they could move to the coast, move to lowland towns or join the army forces, as a result they left Scotland in search of a better life in some other part of the world. Nan’s great great grandfather firstly immigrated to Nova Scotia where he later died but her great grand father. Then came on to New Zealand where he farmed and became a teacher at Kaurihohore School at Whangeirei where my mum went to school. On Nan’s mothers side of the family. Her mother, my great Grandma left from Bellshill, Scotland and married my great Grandfather who was a farmer at Kauri, Whangeirei. My great great Grandparents owned and ran a grocery shops and left Scotland in search of a better life. On my Mum’s Dad’s side of the family, my great great great Grandfathers family left Scotland because of the Highland Clearances. Firstly arriving in Nora Scotia where he was born in 1824. But after a year of hardship his family moved on to the Whangeirei Heads, New Zealand. They became watersiders and farmers. On my Mum’s Dad’s other side of the family, my great, great, great, great grandfather family who were sea captains. Left Scotland via Nova Scotia and settled in the Whangerei heads and became farmers. My mum’s father was a farmer until he drowned in 1991. All my ancestors left their homes 130-180years ago. They were hoping to find and live in a good place in the world for them and the next generations. The end!



=Valiery Adams= = Kiwi shot-putter Valerie Adams is itching to get the feel of the gold medal from London Olympics that is now hers but is bracing for a long wait that may spill over to next year. = = Belarusian Nadezhda Ostapchuk won the gold in London with a throw of 21.36 metres earlier this month before being stripped of her medal for failing a dope test. = = Adams, who hurled 20.70 metres to finish behind Ostapchuk, was the natural beneficiary of the outcome but her manager Nick Cowan was not sure when she would eventually get her second successive Olympic gold. = = "If a medal was available today she wants it today, which is fair enough. But she wants to celebrate it in New Zealand as well and, in all reality, I think what we are staring at is a medal presentation in New Zealand, which she is really excited about," Cowan was quoted as saying by the New Zealand Herald newspaper on Friday. = = "But we don't know if that is going to be in a month's time, three, 10 or 12 so therefore we are preparing ourselves for a long haul. = = "We can only hope that it will be quick and this side of Christmas, but it may not be and I have had that discussion with Valerie. =

Saturday

I wake up at 7.00 in the morning. To watch T.V and have some coco pops then mum yells “get ready”. I get my kit, chin pads and socks on. Fill up my drink bottle grab my t-90 boots which are pink and grey.

I’m in the car waiting for my mum. I turn on the radio and listen to the edge. Finally mum comes. She drives me to Marewa Park and I’m still listening to the Edge. Were here. I see my team there and Richard the coach says “three laps around the field”. After that run I was puffing then I decide to do some stretches. Charlie does the toss. He won. He chooses to kick off. I’m keeper first half. Awesome!

It was a sunny day

I saw the digger smashing,

Thrashing and destroying room12

It was like watching Destroyed

After they were done

There was only huge

Holey rubble left.

A new class
