Grant monies have been secured through Northeast District Extension funds and the Wisconsin 4-H Foundation. In addition, many of the participating counties assist in offsetting the cost for participants through their county 4-H Leaders' Association funds. Program Content Knowledge and Research Base Research shows that youth who take active roles in organizations and communities have fewer problems, are better skilled, and tend to be lifelong citizens (Pittman, Irby, Tolman, Yohalem, & Ferber, 2001). In addition, youth need a variety of experiences in different settings to develop into productive youth leaders. Two specific essential experiences for youth development include: Opportunities to take on new roles and responsibilities – group membership, contribution and service; Strategic support – guidance and help in decision-making, and access to resources (Zeldin, Kimball, & Price, 1995). To provide 4-H youth with the opportunity to take an active role in the organization, it must be done before the youth leaves the program. There is a sharp decline in 4-H membership at two distinct stages: as youth transition from 5th to 6th grade (from elementary to middle school) and from 8th to 9th grade (from middle school to high school) (Lauxman, 2003). Winter Leadership Camp was designed to provide youth with the opportunity to develop and practice life skills associated with leadership in a supportive environment. 4-H has long been known for its ability to engage youth and promote the development of life skills, including those of leadership and communication (Boyd, Herring, & Briers, 1992). These life skills have application for the youth in their schools and community because those youth who have been involved in 4-H are more likely to hold positions of leadership (Astroth and Haynes, 2002; Goodwin et al., 2005). The attitudes and life skills that youth develop in adolescence often lead to civic engagement, and have been found to persist into adulthood (Ladewig & Thomas, 1987; Pennington & Edward, 2006). In designing Winter Leadership Camp, we focused on providing life skills that were identified by Hendricks (1998) as components of leadership including communication, planning and organizing, and working well with people and groups (teamwork). In addition, we added decision-making to our curriculum because of its relevance to leadership and working within groups. And, based on the research of Ladewig and Thomas (1987), who suggest that pairing the teaching of leadership skills with leadership opportunities would increase the effect of the leadership experience for youth, we added a component where youth had the opportunity to apply their newly learned skills upon return to their community. Page 2 The Winter Leadership Camp program is structured to provide youth with "essential experiences of youth development" as outlined in the Program and Activity Assessment (Zeldin, Day, & Matyski, 2001). Youth are able to experience the four essential elements as outlined by Cathann Kress (2006): belonging, mastery, independence, and generosity. The 4-H Youth Development staff structures a safe and inclusive environment for all youth to experience belonging. This is critical as this camp is often the youth's first multi-county 4-H experience. Mastery is experienced as youth are engaged in the interactive leadership sessions. Each participant experiences independence from being away from his/her family as well as thinking how s/he can apply the skills learned in future situations. Older youth who help plan and teach workshop sessions are developing a sense of generosity. Generosity is also experienced through the action plans participants develop. These plans are a way for them to practice service to others. Needs Assessment The current 4-H Winter Leadership Camp grew out of a 2002 strategic conversation with 4-H Youth Development staff serving the Northeast District (11 counties). Previous to this camp, a Teen Winter Camp was held. The camp was originally designed by youth leaders from the district who planned, implemented, and evaluated the camp with a 4-H Youth Development Advisor. However, after a change of structure and following two years of low attendance and limited youth involvement in the camp, 4-H Youth Development staff decided to use the opportunity to refocus and revamp the camp's purpose and outcomes. Through the conversation, staff decided to focus the camp on middle school youth. Middle school youth were targeted due to the perceived drop in 4-H participation at that grade level. This was substantiated by the USDA's Annual 4-H Youth Development Enrollment Report: 2002 Fiscal Year. The report states that Wisconsin's 4-H enrollment peaked at 6th grade, and then significantly declined. Staff believed that if youth were able to change roles from participant to leader, their interest in staying involved in the 4-H program might increase. The method for achieving this was to develop an overnight camping experience with sound educational leadership sessions. Youth would receive hands-on training in leadership areas and make a plan of how to implement a project back home. Goals and Objectives Objective 1. Youth will improve their leadership skills in the following areas: teamwork, communication, decision-making, and planning and organizing. Objective 2. Youth will report an increased understanding of themselves and others. Objective 3. Youth will apply leadership skills as they work with others to develop an action plan for their club and/or county. Target Audience Based on the research and the needs assessment, the target audience is youth in grades 6th, 7th and 8th grades participating in Extension programming. From 2002-2003, the camp served the 11 counties of the Northeast Extension District. The district represents a range of counties including rural (population under 30,000) to urban (population over 160,000). Due to some administrative Page 3 redistricting, the majority of counties are now in the Eastern District. This redistricting led to a total of 13 eligible counties participating. When the camp first began, each county was allowed four delegates. With the addition of counties to the district, that number has been decreased to three. Eastern District county 4-H youth development staff recruit youth for the leadership camp in each of their counties. Applications are used to screen participants at the county-level, and to collect needed information. Counties may develop a waiting list which is used to fill open slots when counties don't reach their quota or to balance the gender differential. Each county is expected to provide one adult chaperone/mentor. Each year, we have accepted between 45 and 50 youth. Teaching space and group sizes per trainer determine the maximum number of participants. The number is also somewhat determined by the gender of the applicants. The camp has boy and girl dorm areas with a maximum of 26 sleeping spaces per gender. How counties choose who they send to the camp is mostly determined by the county. Some counties make it part of their interviewing process. Some take youth on a first come, first served basis with a bit of sifting as needed. Often, 6th graders are put on the waiting list to make space for the older youth who may be aging out if not able to attend during the current year. Efforts to recruit youth are broad because the goal is to develop new, emerging youth leaders, not necessarily those who already have well developed leadership skills. Last year was the first year we had to reject any youth, even from the waiting list, and the number was very small. Program Design & Content Type of Program 4-H Overnight Camping Program Methods used to deliver the program The 4-H Winter Leadership Camp just completed its fourth year. Planning, implementation and evaluation have evolved over the four years and the planning team has changed as staff members from throughout the district have rotated on and off the team. Six to eight 4-H youth development staff from the Eastern District are the planning team. The original team identified skills to focus on within four key areas of leadership: teamwork, communication, decision-making, and planning and organizing. Leadership sessions during the camp target skills within those four topics. In addition, the Color Matrixx (NCTI, 1999), a temperament identification, communication, and team-building tool, has been the opening workshop on Friday night of the two-day camp. This has served as a way to help youth learn about themselves and others and a way to get to know others at the camp. The presenters have geared the workshop toward using the concepts when working with others in teams. On Saturday, staff members each teach a key leadership topic. Each staff member develops his or her own material after preliminary discussion as a group. Older youth and adult volunteers are recruited by staff members to be co-planners and presenters of the workshop sessions. Page 4 One or two planning team members plan and lead the action plan phase of the camp, which is done after the four leadership topics are taught. Using the tools the youth have learned throughout the camp, campers develop a plan of action. The plan can be for a 4-H club, county group, church or school group, or wherever they would like. They can also choose to make an action plan as an individual or with others from their county. One or two planning team members also plan, implement, and compile an evaluation of the Winter Leadership Camp. Each workshop presenting team develops two to four objectives for their session of the leadership camp. Those objectives become part of the evaluation process. The camp schedule also includes free time for participants to have social and fun time. The camp takes place at a 4-H leader-owned camp with a sledding hill and cross-country skiing paths. Youth development staff and youth graduates of the leadership camp are in charge of the social and fun activities, both indoor and outdoor, for the campers. In addition to providing fun, these activities also help to develop the group dynamics. Every camper is encouraged to take leadership when and where they feel most comfortable doing so. The end of the camp is celebrated with presentations of the action plans developed by the individuals or groups earlier in the day. Parents and siblings are invited to attend the presentations and the meal that follows the presentations. Group photos are taken and one last fun group learning activity closes the camp experience. Curricula and/or educational materials A wide range of curriculum has been used, depending on the instructor and the session, and includes: • Color Matrixx (NCTI, 1999) – Used at the Opening Session and for Team Building • Step Up to Leadership, CCS Leadership Curriculum – Pulling It All Together Session (Toomey & Chronic, 2003) • Building Bridges, 4-H Curriculum – Communication Skills Session (Day & Lampe, 2001) • Quicksilver. Project Adventure, Inc. 266pp. K. Rohnke and S. Butler. – Teamwork Session (Rohnke & Butler, 1995) • Lost at Sea (Jossey-Bass Pfeiffer, 1989) Depending on the instructor, materials may be modified for teaching his or her session. Participants receive a 3-ring binder with materials from the workshop sessions, planning tools, and other relevant information to use as a resource in their leadership efforts after the camp.

This is the only 4-H district wide effort. Program Evaluation Process Each year the district planning team presents a report to the district 4-H youth development program professionals during a district meeting following the camp experience. At the meeting, we share how the camp planning and implementation went and the results of the program evaluations. Personnel from all of the counties involved give oral feedback from the perspective of the participants, the families involved, and the leaders group in their county. Future planning is done based on that feedback and the direct feedback of the participants. Examples of changes that have been made due to feedback over the four (going on five) years of the program include: shortening the weekend (the first year the camp went from Friday to Sunday); adjusting the schedule to balance social and instructional time for the youth; and making sure that each county has an adult at the camp to mentor the youth at the camp and back in their county. Things that have stayed the same due to feedback have been the location of the camp and workshop topics. Through the four years of camp, a total of 151 youth and 22 adults have participated in the 4-H Winter Leadership Camp. In addition, 12 4-H Youth Development Staff have worked with the program through the years. Outcomes and impacts Evaluation of the 4-H Winter Leadership Camp includes the following: 1) a youth participant retrospective evaluation survey of the session objectives identified by the workshop instructors. The youth participant retrospective post-then pre evaluation survey uses a three point scale of "Yes, Somewhat, No" to the list of questions. 2) an open-ended self-assessment for youth participants to apply what they have learned 3) an end-of-session assessment for adult participant survey. The adult end- of-session assessment used a 5 point Likert-type scale with 5 being excellent and 1 being poor. Page 6 4) a participant follow-up survey given 3-6 months after the Winter Leadership Camp.

Communication to stakeholders Annually to 4-H Youth Development colleagues in the district of evaluation results and action plans Written reports have been shared to grant funders Workshop presentations to state colleagues and at the 2005 Wisconsin State 4- H Program Area Conference Annually reports are found in various 4-H county newsletters. Success stories in the UW-Extension planning and reporting database used by administration for reports. Published Department of Youth Development paper: http://www.uwex.edu/ces/4h/department/publications/ Page 10 Program Sustainability For the past 4 years, the 4-H Winter Leadership Camp has been successful through the support of the counties participating and various small grants from district or 4-H sources. Three of the five original planning team members are still working with the camp. County 4-H staff implemented the program through their base programming efforts. Program fees for the youth and adult participants cover the costs of the camp. Staff people who have sent youth and adults speak to the value of the program and are committed to sending youth to the program annually. The District is currently working on a follow-up leadership camp for older youth utilizing graduates of the Winter Leadership Camp to plan, implement, and evaluate Leadership Camp II. Replication The issue of retaining middle school youth in 4-H youth development programs will continue. Models similar to 4-H Winter Leadership Camp can be replicated as a strategy to meet that identified need. Results from evaluations, 4-H youth development staff, and follow-up evaluations strongly support the program and the impacts and outcomes it has achieved. The framework of the program was shared at the 2005 Wisconsin State 4-H Program Conference, as well as selected activities from each of the educational sessions. The program also received the 2004 North Central NAE4-HA Search for Excellence in Teen Programming Team Award. Rationale and Importance of the Program The Winter Leadership Camp is providing a valuable growth experience for youth at a crucial time in their 4-H careers. Youth in the participating counties have begun to anticipate this event and see it as an honor and unique opportunity. Graduates of the program have been the most valuable recruitment tools. They speak highly of the experience in their county and role model positive leadership in their clubs and county programs. Reaching youth at this age has many advantages. First of all, they are really "ready" to accept a new and more challenging role in their 4-H club and also in their life. Secondly, they are looking to adults and older peers to "teach" them how to do that and are especially open to learning. Thirdly, we see from research that this age group will seek out opportunities and groups that will fulfill their need to be independent and to belong. Teaching leadership in the fun environment of a camp is our way of "tricking" youth into learning and growing. Whatever works! References Astroth, K.A. & Haynes, G. W. (2002).

Youth will be able to identify three characteristics of good listeners. 2. Youth will be able to express their feelings using I-messages. 3. Youth will be able to identify the three parts of a speech. Teaching Concepts Teaching Methods 1. Introduction/Anticipatory Set Introduce presenters and welcome participants. Lead an icebreaker that focuses on communication and/or skills related to communication. 2. Characteristics of Good Listeners Ask participants to raise their hands if they know someone who is a good listener. As a group, develop a list of characteristics of good listeners. Put answers on flip chart. Have participants pick the three that are most important to them (as speakers) and record them on their participant handouts. 3. Guided Practice of Listening Skills Use a dyad activity for guided practice of listening skills using the three characteristics of listeners that they identified in the above activity. In the dyad activity, one participant is the speaker, the other is the listener. Speaker: share something important with the listener (ex. How you will choose where you are going to college, or a dilemma over whether or not you are going to take algebra II next semester.) Listener: This isn't a conversation, your role is as listener, so don't say anything beyond clarifying questions, etc. (Hint: If you are giving your opinion, you aren't a listener anymore!) Practice the three characteristics that you found important in a listener. After two minutes, switch roles. 4. Communicating With Others Lead the group in a discussion of I vs. You Through I-Statements: statements, including when it is appropriate to use them. • Identify your feeling • Use an I-message to communicate that feeling • Start with I, and add what you are feeling…I feel angry when…. Page 15 5. Guided Practice in the use of I- Guided practice: In small groups, role-play statements situations practicing using I-statements. Ask for volunteers to share their role plays with the group. Discuss. 6. Presentation Skills: The Three Lead group in the activity "Silly Speeches".1 Parts of a Speech 1 Building Bridges, 4-H Curriculum Page 16 Appendix 3: Decision Making Teaching Outline Winter Leadership Camp Objectives: 1. Youth will be able to identify four styles of decision making. 2. Youth will be able to identify and apply the steps to good decision making. Teaching Concepts Teaching Methods 1. Introduction – Set the Stage for Adventure Use a decision making adventure such as Lost at Sea. Set ground rules based on the specific activity. Divide group into four teams. Give each group a card complete with a description of group decision making styles (consensus, working consensus, democratic and weighted vote). Explain that each team will be making their decision based on that style of decision making. 2. Group Activity Team works according to the activity directions, but also using the assigned group decision making style for reaching decisions. 3. Debriefing Each team identifies the key elements that they chose to keep in the Lost at Sea activity, and explain how they used the assigned decision making style to make that decision.

Youth will learn three ways of how to brainstorm ideas. 2. Youth will learn how to identify success. 3. Youth will learn how to develop an action plan. • Planning & Organizing Icebreaker – Kayla & Lindsey (5 minutes) Activity: All Aboard • Brainstorming – René Activity: Brainstorming ideas for their task • Goal Setting – Kayla & Lindsey Activity: Setting goal's for the group's task • Action Plan – Kayla & Lindsey Activity: Create an action plan for the group's task • Success – René Activity: Create a picture/writing of what success looks like • Wrap-Up/Review - René Page 18 Ice Breaker/Warm-Up Activity: All Aboard Procedure: • Goal – For all group members to stand aboard the "island" long enough to sing one verse of Row, Row, Row Your Boat, without touching the surrounding ground. Begin with the tarp/blanket in largest form and continue to fold it in half. First time: allow participants to simply "hop" on. For second time: make participants plan for one-minute before stepping on the tarp/blanket. Continue until group is unable to accomplish the task. • The Presentation – Global warming has melted the polar ice caps and the surviving members of your group must take residence on an island which continues to shrink as the water level rises. • Important Points – As facilitator and spotter, instruct participants that only their feet may touch the "island". Participants may stand on their own foot, but not on the feet of other participants. Do not lock elbows with other participants. All participants must be touching the "island" with at least one foot and both feet need to be off the ground. Participants will typically find some method of connecting arms across the platform and standing up together. • Debriefing Questions: • How did your group get everyone on the "island"? • Did you feel like it was a team effort to reach your goal? • What happened when an idea didn't work for your group? • What were some specific things that helped the group to succeed? • Did you just go ahead and do the activity or did you try to plan before you tried something? • Were people encouraged to share ideas? • How did the group acknowledge success? • What situations have you found yourself in where you tried to reach a group goal? Page 19 Brainstorming Activity: To come up with ideas for a specific task. (Tasks predetermined and groups select one.) Procedure: • Pass out worksheet on brainstorming, goal setting, and success. We'll be referencing these through the workshop. • Discuss importance of planning when involved in anything – relate to previous activity, school activities, club activities, homework, etc. • Today each group will be planning a specific activity. It may be based on situation in school, 4-H, or another youth group. Even though you aren't planning a real event, the situations are based on something you may actually do. Brainstorming is based on two basic principles: • Delaying Judgment – postponing the evaluation of ideas until they've all been listed • Quantity Yields Quality – the more ideas that are generated, the greater the chance that one of them will provide a solution The basic ground rules of brainstorming are: (on Flip Chart paper) 1. All ideas are good! Don't judge other's ideas. 2. Free-wheeling is welcomed (i.e., the wilder the idea, the better) 3. Quantity, not quality is desired There are many ways to brainstorm. Today we're going to learn about three: 1. Put up the topic, give individuals a minute to think, and then have members call out ideas to write down. 2. Give everyone post-it notes. Have them write each idea (or thought) on ONE post-it note. When finished, put post-it notes up where all can see. 3. Each person gets a piece of paper. Write the question or problem on the top. Each person writes 4 ideas on the paper and then places the paper in the center. The person then selects another sheet of paper. Repeat for 10-15 minutes or until there are no more ideas. Group select/assign ways to brainstorm goals for their selected topic. Page 20 Goal Setting Activity: Setting goals for the group's task. Procedure: • Goals are statements of what the participants want to see accomplished. • Have some discussion about the ideas that were generated. Guidelines for discussion: (On flip chart paper) 1. Everyone's ideas are important 2. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion 3. When you disagree, avoid put-downs and name calling 4. Everyone has an equal vote • Put similar ideas together. • Write out the goals. They should include the following elements: (on worksheet) • Be specific and as detailed as possible. • Measure the goal – can you clearly explain what you are doing? • Be action-oriented: make sure the goal explains what you are going to do • Make it realistic • Have a timeline for completion. • Have the group decide on 2-3 main goals for their topic. (If they are unable to come to agreement on what they should do, they can vote. Each youth votes on their top three ideas. They can use all their votes on the same idea or spread them between 2-3 different ideas. The three ideas that get the highest votes will be the goals the group works on.) • While trying to identifying the goals, have the youth go over the following questions for each idea to help to decide on goals: (on worksheet) • Can we accomplish this goal? • Is there enough time to accomplish this goal? • What are the resources available and how do we get them to accomplish this goal? • What other people can help? Even though this isn't a real life situation, the questions might not help, but they are important things to consider when deciding on goals. Page 21 Action Plan Activity: Create an action plan for the situation selected based on the goals the group set and ideas generated. Procedure: • Have the group look over the action plan questions to get an idea of the things they need to consider when developing their plan. (On flip chart paper) • What things do we need to do? • What order do we need to do these things? • Who do we need to work with? (other youth, adults) • What resources do we need? • What problems might arise? What questions do we have? • How much time do we have to complete each step? The whole project? • Making a Master Plan 1. Hand out Sample Action Plan to show an example. 2. Have the group brainstorm the major steps they need to do their project. 3. Have them put the steps in order. 4. Break into small groups. Have each group take one or two of the steps they brainstormed and list all of the things that need to be done to take that step. (Hand out Action Plan worksheet) 5. Come back as a whole group and share your work. Put all of the steps together. • Put plan into writing on planning sheet. Success Activity: Create a picture/writing of what success looks like Procedure: • Have group visualize the end product through a picture/description of what a successful end product would look like. • Refer back to worksheet questions.

Problem weed in veges : follow up
catkins(z9 CA)June 16, 2010
Thank you all very, very much for your help and suggestions. You are all very appreciated. The problem weed turns out to be yellow nutsedge. I understand from researching it that products called sedgehammer, pennant, manage will all work to kill it, but shouldn't be used in the veges. I think we have worsened the prob by how we have pulled it over the years, breaking the rhizomes off. We have a very healthy crop of it this year. Hmmm, maybe its good in salad, LOL.

I met up with these friends this past weekend at their beautiful new home. I love doing sessions at home– it's so personal and comfortable. And, while it was a cool cloudy day, you wouldn't know it would you? The giggles and fun we had were warm and bright!
These adorable sisters jumped, climbed, rolled down the hill, and played with their 3 animals. (Do you see sweet sister burying her face in her kitty? A spunky girl and her gracious cat!) Between all of their preschool energy, we even caught a few sweet snuggles with mom and dad.
It was a joy to be with you all. Thank you! I hope these images help you remember and cherish this precious life stage with your 2 little ones.

I can see some Elder there, but to be honest I can't make out enough detail on the photos. I would take out the elder if it was my garden, but some people like it.
It would probably prefer a soil-based compost, if you can't plant it in the ground. Check to make sure it's not waterlogged, give it some liquid feed and cross your fingers!
Nick, you made me giggle - I love the idea of moaning at the weeds to get them down!
Angelica gigas is another huge umbellifer, stunning plant.
Yes, Tamus communis. It's a relative of the yam!
Comfrey is often used for this. I believe there is a special strain sold for this purpose. Nettles are good as well.
The mole thing doesn't work, sorry to say.
That reminds me very much of Pellitory of the Wall, a nettle relative. Strange place for it to grow though, it could well be something else entirely!
I very much doubt if the tree will recover, conifers don't reshoot when cut back or damaged. I think the houseplant is a schefflera, but not really my subject - someone else will be along in a minute!
Looks like Allium moly. Should smell a bit oniony!

FLEA-STREET MARKETS, Goa
30 Reviews
30 Reviews
Anjuna Market takes place every Wednesday from October onwards throughout the high-season, from around 09:00am to 06:00pm.
It was the hippies who brought about the trend of the flea market at Anjuna beach during the late 1960s, and it's just been getting bigger and better ever since.
Even if you're not interested in buying anything, or don't have the confidence to haggle, this is still a nice place to spend 1 or 2 hours and to see some real Goan characters at work :-)
What to buy: In this place, anything goes!
This is the best place to get all your holiday souvenirs, gifts and beach-clothes at once!
Most stalls offer more or less the same products, but you can bargain like crazy due to the stiff competition between the stalls and stands.
The flea market is a heaven for hardcore shoppers and good bargainers, to bid on wonderful blends of Tibetan, Kashmiri and Gujarati trinkets and handicrafts, jewellery (silver), European snacks, wooden crafts & carvings, beautiful wall hangings, musical instruments, bed covers, CDs with Goa Trance, artificial ornaments and t-shirts... the list is endless and so is the hustle, bustle, noise and shuffle.
NOTE: Some of the female stall-owners can get a bit pushy, and may even grab you around the wrist (these little women are surprisingly strong!) and keep asking in a loud, shrill voice; "You buy madam! Why not! You buy, you buy!" A stern & determined "No!" may be necessary once in a while, but in general they're relatively harmless and are just trying to make a sale.
What to pay: Whatever price they give you: slash minimum 30% off right away. Then the serious bargaining can begin.
If you want to inhale the true aroma of Goa this market is a must-see in your itinerary. Although it used to be more of an *off the beaten path* destination, more & more tourists are bravely finding their way to this Friday experience. For tourists visiting the town of Mapusa there is not much in the form of sightseeing, but spending 2-3 hours in the weekly village market & then settling down for some lunch at one of the small restaurants dotted all along the main road is what travelling is all about, isn't it?
The town's name, pronounced "Map'sa" after the Konkani words for "measure" and "fill" is an obvious indication of its commercial & trading nature. This is the capital of Bardez Taluka, Northern Goa, 13 km north of the capital Panaji (Panjim). MAPUSA market is known for its fresh farm products with farmers & traders from all over Goa and beyond.
This isn't a market for the typical tourist - this is a simple yet thriving village market for the locals to provide them with their day-to-day groceries & other items.
Basically, this market provides an altogether different experience, far from the naive glee of beaches & other touristy places!
NOTE: If you have a heightened sense of smell, prepare yourself for a smell-and-stench overload. Dried & fresh fish mixed with the smell of onions in the sun and that unmistakable aroma of a nearby open sewer proved to be too much for my travel companions, who were forced to smear peppermint lipbalm into their nostrils ;-)
What to buy: > Fruits and vegetables, fresh & dried fish, spices, etc.
> Flip-Flops ("chapels" in Hindi) for 70 Rupees (US$ 1,50)
> Colourful powders for applying various symbols on your skin
> Candles, textiles, plastic toys, fake branded items (t-shirts, sports shoes, etc) ethnic handicrafts, plants & saplings, oil lamps, clay pots, wooden furniture, etc.
The prices of the products are pretty reasonable. Still just do not give what is demanded at first. Haggling & bargain-hunting are part of the whole Asian shopping experience.
NOTE: It can be rather hot, humid & tiring in the market. Bring your own water along, but there are also plenty of shops selling chilled softdrinks. To be on the safe side, try buying drinks in sealed plastic bottles, as glass bottles are usually "recycled" and there's no telling whether they were cleaned properly or not.
If you're looking for a more authentic market experience than that found at Anjuna you could do worse than check out the market in the town of Ponda, which is aimed mainly at local customers. We didn't buy a lot here apart from bananas and bottled water but enjoyed weaving our way past the stalls, smelling the fragrant spices (on some – not everything was so sweet-smelling!) and of course taking lots of photos. Shoppers and stall-holders were equally tolerant of our shutter-clicking although the narrow pathways between the stalls meant that we were sometimes rather in the way of serious shoppers.
You will find all sorts of fruit and vegetables here, the afore-mentioned spices, and also various handicrafts, although the latter tend towards the practical, such as coir ropes and mats, baskets and cooking vessels.
We stopped in Ponda en route to the Backwoods Camp (see accommodation tip) in order to buy bananas for the elephants. An alternative would be Mapusa's Friday market, also relatively untouristy I believe. Marpusa is situated a little way inland, almost due east from Anjuna and can be reached by taxi from the beach resorts.
Anjuna Market is held every Wednesday and is one of the main draws for tourists in northern Goa. It has its origins in the early days of Goa's discovery by hippy back-packers in the 1960s, but these days is heavily commercialised and marketed by tour companies. Don't let that put you off however, as it's still a good place to pick up souvenirs and presents and is really colourful.
Stall-holders sell all kinds of crafts, including jewellery, carvings, fabrics and musical instruments (but if such things matter to you, be aware that most of these will not be local to Goa, as the sellers come from all over India). There are traditional sari fabrics and cheap Western-style clothing, some of the items designer rip-offs, others basic t-shirts etc. There are also plenty of places to eat or grab a cold drink, and when you've finished shopping you can wander down to the beach to examine your purchases and watch the sun set over a cold beer.
What to buy: We bought some pretty note-books of hand-made paper as gifts for family, a bangle for me and a t-shirt for Chris. I don't remember any prices but I know everything was very reasonable and haggling expected.
For a much better bargain than the tourist markets, head to Mapusa to buy your spices.
What to buy: Cinnamon, cumin, sugar-coated fennel seeds, various curry powders and spice mixes, cadamom, white poppy seeds, ajwain seeds, star anise, peppercorns, mustard seeds, cassia bark, nutmeg, coriander seeds, turmeric, dried chillis and saffron. We found the vanilla pods a little on the expensive side.
What to pay: If you are a spice lover like me - the sky's the limit! I actually spent over US$50 on spices!
We shopped at 3 different markets in Goa.
1. Mapusa Friday Market...This market is open on Friday from 8:00 am til 6:00 pm..We took a taxi from Candolim for 400 Rs. (expensive, yes) and they waited for us for 3 hours i think..This market is more of a local event and has everything from clothing to produce..Really enjoyed it!!
2. Ingo's Night Market...This Saturday night market was booming with vendors, food vendors and entertainment..Also took a taxi from Candolim for 400 Rs and they waited for us for 5 hours..
3. Anjuna Market..This market is a major attraction for tourists..I found this market to be a bit more touristy and sold everything imaginable..Open every Wednesday from 9:00 am, best to get their early..It was so hot out the day we went..but we did enjoy it..
What to buy: Everything that exists is sold in the markets..At the:
Mapusa Market: I bought 4 really nice cushion covers and a wall hanging for about 800 Rs. which i thought was a really good deal...Also bought a pair of shoes..
At Ingo's Night Market..All i bought was Kingfisher!! Although there was a variety of everthing.
Anjuna Market bought some blouses, a purse and some tank tops!! Could have bought way more, but it was just too hot to shop!!
Alot of the other things i bought in Goa, where from stores in Candolim and Baga..But mostly i bought cushion covers in every style and color..
What to pay: You can spend as little as possibe at the markets..as you can haggle and get the price way down if you know how to do it right!!
Anjuna Market on a wednesday is a great experience. But I only did it once. It is worth it to go once, just to see what is there.
Pros: Just to say you have done it.
Just to know what is there.
To experience some entertainment
Cons: It is now put on for the tourist. Everything you can buy at Anjuna you can probably get in your resort, at a much cheaper price. Even if you haggle. Never buy cigarettes from Anjuna, they are probably fake and taste nothing like cigarettes from home. The Indian stores are not really GOAN, they are from other states , cashing in on the tourist.
What to buy: Go to Anjuna in your second week, when you have been to the local stores and know what the local prices are.
What to pay: HAGGLE , HAGGLE HAGGLE. EVEN WALK AWAY IF IT IS TOO DEAR.
Its a great place to shop, you can buy anything here as long as you are prepared to haggle , sometimes long and hard! There is great food made by a lillt old Indian lady right in the middle, samosas, bhajis and such, so you can sit in the shade and have some lunch, This is a whole day out to enjoy, even our kids liked it!
What to buy: OK this Market has some great rugs/blankets, lots and lots of joss sticks, (2 yrs on and we still havent used ours all yet!)
you vcan buy spices and the best clothes! lots of tie dye stuff There are leather goods and a lot of jewellry too, just be prepared to haggle!.
What to pay: Absolutely anything, basically the rule is , get a price in your head what you think its worth/what you are prepared to pay, start much higher then work your way down.
All the markets and bazzars are the same, you cannot walk down the street without being spoken to. Come look, come buy, come see, please. It is really quite tiring because if you were to stop at them all. A. you would have no money left. B. you would have no time left. You have to be abrupt sometimes which is against the british way, but as I say there is no other way. When you do see something, they will tell you a ridiculous high price. All you have to do is come up with a ridiculous low one and argue till you are in agreement. If you want to bring childrens clothes with you for the many orphanages etc. Then buy your holiday gear from the stalls, everything is cheap enough not to make a hole in your budget.
What to buy: If you are looking for a special outfit, try a tailors. ie. mans suit around £50
If you have 2 weeks in Goa, save Anjuna Wednesdays Flea market for your 2nd week. This market is more of an experience than a shopping trip. It is a hot, busy, tugging at your sleeve, boxing you in kind of place.
It really is a one trip deal, you will have no need to ever visit it twice.
What to buy: come here mainly to look and get the feel of a busy market. You may find some good deals on pashmina (type) scarves, but dont purchase until you get closer to the beach..as here the price will be a 1/4 of what you first told and will probably be for 4 not 1 scarve.
make sure you inspect the scarves..as the quality varies hugely..you may be disappointed when u get home.
What to pay: my sister spent Rs3000, I had only turned my back for a second and she came away with bed sheets etc. be careful..visit many stalls before buying, always divide the price by 4 and work up if you think its worth it.
Anjuna Beach market takes place on wednesdays at Anjuna Beach, every week but only during high season. I went there in august (monsoon) and all I found was 2 or 3 indian girls selling me blankets.
This famous market is one of the few remains of the hippy 60s ambiance that made Goa famous in the last century. You can still see here the old hippies that came for some months and established here to live since then. You can really find bargains here, but there's too much "hippy circus" too, as someone told me.
Where can you find a place that sells everything under the sun from Porcelain, candle work, Turkish hookahs,ancient artefacts, religious deities, Pashmina shawls, G strings, trance compact disc's, beads, Quartz and Calcite crystals, uncut gems, Sitars, Guitars and the list continues… You could also have a dreadlock haircut or learn some magic tricks. How about a quick course in juggling or clay pigeon shooting? For the more adventurous there is always the good ole art of body piercing, tattooing or maybe even a foot massage.
If this is making you wonder if all of this is too good to be true then think again. A place like this does exist. Known to most locals as the flea market and probably one of the best in Goa is 'Ingo's Saturday Nite Bazaar'. Those holidaying in Goa and not making the trip to this market in the village of Arpora in North Goa are missing out on an experience of a lifetime.
What to buy: Shawls, lounge CDs, cheap beach wear and glassware
What to pay: Bargain hard
Haggle affably for some great bargains. Have a price in mind, but don't rip anybody off.
The first customer of the day is considered auspicious, so go early.
What to buy: Carvings, embroideries, imitation designer lablel clothing, spices, nic-nacs and a whole host of other things you didn't even realise you needed!
If you like flea markets then I strongly recommend Ingo's and their counterparts Mackies on Saturday nights rather then the hassle that is Anjuna Market on a Wednesday.
Not only do you get away from the heat on the Saturdays, but the live music and variations of food available definately makes the markets a must.
You also don't get a parade of people trying to make you buy drums, saris, whistles and clean you ears all at the same time!
What to buy: I think the jewellery on display is amazing, as are many of the carvings. Try not to get caught up buying loads of trinkets or saris from the first buyer you come to. If you walk away from them as the price is too much, they will probably chase you and let you buy the item for the price you want to pay.
What to pay: As much or as little as you want
This is the place to visit on a Wednesday a cacophony on sound, smells and people the Gypsies, the hippies, Tibetans, beggars, you name it they are there and will try and sell you something from woven goods, trinkets, jewewrly Silver and paper mache boxes,all sorts of handicrafts, bet you come away with something! And all to the sound of a pulsing techno beat!!

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Happy Valentine's Day, Sparks fans
Director Lasse Hallstrm mines familiar territory in unremarkable chick-flick
A new movie based on a Nicholas Sparks novel washes up onto the multiplex shores about once a year. Each movie is as alike as the next one, but for Sparks fans, it is not an insult to say they tend to be familiar and formulaic.
"Familiar" is kind of the point. You don't order a Big Mac with the expectation that an enterprising cook in the back will be trying to improve the recipe for special sauce.
Safe Haven, directed by Lasse Hallstrm (who also helmed the Sparks adaptation Dear John), offers up a mix 'n' match of Sparks tropes, special sauce and cheese all present and accounted for.
Julianne Hough (Rock of Ages) is Katie, the designated outsider (see also Richard Gere in Nights in Rodanthe, Zac Efron in The Lucky One and Miley Cyrus in The Last Song) who blows into a scenic North Carolina coastal town, staying one step ahead of some serious trouble in Boston.
Determined to lay low, she rents a picturesque, rundown cabin and gets a job waitressing at a local restaurant.
Back in Boston, a sweaty, sinister police detective (David Lyons) is clearly the appointed Sparksian D-bag (Remember the ex-husband in The Lucky One? Like that) in hot pursuit of Katie.
Initially unwilling to drop her guard, Katie eventually yields to the friendship of a mysterious, solitary neighbour (Cobie Smulders) and eventually a friendship with benefits offered by handsome widower Alex (Josh Duhamel), a store owner bravely trying to go it alone with a couple of needy kids.
There's a reason this movie is being released on Valentine's Day. The middle section of the film is devoted to the uneasy courtship between Katie and Alex, complete with a romantic rainstorm (see Nights in Rodanthe, The Notebook, etc.), a couple of tear-jerking personal details (Alex still maintains his dead wife's office upstairs from the store).
Hough doesn't make much of an impression, and Duhamel manfully attempts to add shades of character to a romance novel heartthrob, with little success.
See, it's very sentimental stuff and Sparks fans will doubtless gobble it up like chocolate truffles from a heart-shaped box. For non-fans, take heart. After alternately wincing at the screen and scrutinizing your watch, you may find the movie's third act does yield an unexpected moment.
In any other movie, it might elicit a raised eyebrow. In a Nicholas Sparks story, it shines like a gold nugget in North Carolina beach flotsam.
Excerpts of select reviews of Safe Haven:
It's a movie for people who nod their heads at the revelation that life is full of second chances. There's tragedy and heartbreak, in the past and possibly in the future, and a story that involves no heavy lifting -- few surprises, and so safe that there's nothing that anybody would consider edgy.
-- Roger Moore, McClatchy-Tribune News Service
It goes without saying that Safe Haven is the whitest thing offered up for public consumption in the three days since Mumford & Sons won the Grammy for Album of the Year.
-- Chris Cabin, Slant
While none of the elements of this Valentine's Day-release chick-flick are remarkable in themselves, in the gifted hands of director Lasse Hallstrm, there is definitely magic at work.
-- Louise Keller, Urban Cinefile

We'll be in Phoenix on Tuesday afternoon, Feb. 10.

The water there was crystal clear and the sand was very fine and filled with many varieties of sea shells.
