Sent on a mission to New York by Grady Fring, the Kredit King, Norwood has visions of "speeding across the country in a late model car, seeing all the sights." Instead, he get ...more

Charles Portis, born in 1933 in the state of Arkansas, one-time Marine sergeant, is an American author best known for his classic Western novel True Grit. Such a darn good writer who created eccentric characters and comic plots.
Part of the American Vintage Contemporaries series published back in the 1980s, this road novel by Charles Portis features 23-year old guitar pluckin' ex-marine Norwood Pratt who lives (if you call this living) way down in the grit of rural East Texas. For me, when it co ...more

I agonized over whether to give Norwood three or four stars—which tells me three things: (1) I'm prone to exaggeration; (2) I really need to get a life; and (3) Goodreads should add half-star ratings instead of worrying about retarded mascot contests and adding mostly pointless Facebookish features to the site which inevitably cause that damnable Alice picture/Bertrand Russell quote to show up (again!). Get your act together, Goodreads. This site is too big now to be run out of somebody's garage ...more

Here's an eerie coinkydink - I finished this almost exactly a year to the day that I finished The Dog of the South. Even stranger, two years ago at this time, I was reading True Grit. I guess there's just something about the month of May that makes me yearn for a Portis tale.
This one, Portis's first novel, reminded me SO much of The Dog of the South. Our hero, Norwood Pratt, could have been the prototype for Dog's Raymond Earl Midge. Both men are earnest and plain spoken, single-minded in their ...more

What can I say about Norwood? I simply adored it. Portis writes the most uncluttered prose imaginable and employs a deceptively simple style, yet he has the eye of a poet. The writing flows with such ease it can sometimes deceive the reader into thinking that the author doesn't seem to be working very hard at all. Simple stream of consciousness stuff you may think - think again! Portis' use of language is masterly, the characterisations are wonderful and the dialogues his cast enter into, sublim ...more

This is the best one to read if you only read one other Portis novel besides 'True Grit.' Everyone should read 'True Grit.'
In a charming first novel, Portis establishes his mastery of language, in particular the Texarkana vernacular, of well-chosen detail that goes beyond apparent mundane triviality and really captures the American ambience as well as the human condition, and of pitch-perfect dialogue.

Phenomenal. I don't really know what to say. I've been struggling to find a novel lately that completely captured my attention and pulled me fully into its world. This one did the trick. Norwood hooked me from the first page and never let go. The characters are quirky without being stupidly over the top. The dialogue is wonderfully Southern without being overwrought. It's a perfect little novel you really could read in a single sitting. It took me two sittings.

I read this book in three sittings, the longest while getting some shading work done a large side piece. The three things that stand out is the specificity of the language, the dryness of the humor, and the protagonist's heroic transformation in spite of making bad decisions at every turn. Norwood conducts himself with propriety, which, sad to say, makes him something of a throwback, yet one would be hard-pressed to call him good natured. In life, I run from these kinds of people: guided by othe ...more

Another comic highlight. Portis is wonderful, inimitable. He can tell a story about nothing like no one else I know. George Saunders has inherited some of this, but Saunders can be a little more brittle and mannered, his characters and situations more surreal. Portis is interested in all the little details of ordinary, not-always-so-bright folks struggling with their drives and limitations, their idees fixes and confusion about the world. Like many of his other books (True Grit, Dog of the South ...more

I probably shouldn't think about this book in comparison to True Grit, but I can't shake the image of Mattie Ross when I think about Norwood Pratt. Both share the same matter-of-fact practicality, and the same bull-headed urge to force the world to conform to their own preconceptions. If Mattie is a little wittier and a little wiser, it doesn't change the fact that they're both cut from the same cloth.

Charles Portis' Norwood is a strange, strange, little endearing story about a guy named Norwood going on a mini-adventure from Ralph, Texas to New York City and back. Along the way he meets a midget, wins a girl's heart, and steals a fortune telling chicken. I don't really know what to make of it and I can't explain why, but it made me literally laugh out loud at some points. It shouldn't be good, really. But it is thoroughly enjoyable.

I am glad to have read this, the debut novel by Charles Portis, since it gives me a greater appreciation for the genius of "True Grit," his second book. By that I mean that "Norwood" is nothing particularly special, making the follow-up stand out even more. It's not that Portis doesn't know his way around a sentence - he most certainly does - but rather that I found the purposefully aimless quality of our protagonist (the Norwood of the title) increasingly grating. We sense the writer flexing hi ...more

Slim debut by Charles Portis. Some deem this his distilled best, but for me it's a run-up for fuller and more satisfying works to come like DOG OF THE SOUTH. Imagine Flannery O'Connor stripped of the Catholicism and violence and you're partway there. Portis's sense of humor is gentler, but just as strange.

If character development is your thing, this book will not do for you. By the end of the book, I was quite certain that Norwood Pratt will be essentially unchanged at 75. I suspect that is one of the main points of the book.

Charles Portis' first novel, Norwood, is a rambling adventure story about a countryfied Arkansas ex-Marine, Norwood Pratt, who goes on a journey to NY to deliver two cars and find his Marine buddy who owes him money. Along the way he meets the world's second shortest midget, steals the college-educated chicken Joann and finds love on a bus with a girl named Rita Lee.

"Norwood" is about the most absurdest travel literature that you'll read but also probably one of the best. In it Norwood Pratt is a country-bumpkin former Marine who settles back in the small town of Ralph, Texas. He spends his days working on cars in a little gas station that only pays him enough to survive. On that note he has plans on making it to New York City to hunt down a fellow Marine, Joe Williams, who owes him $70. He stays in a house with his sister Vernell who just recently married ...more

Another hilarious picaresque novel about a loser pointlessly careening across the country. Since I read The Dog of the South first, even though Norwood was actually his first book I kept thinking "gee, this reminds of The Dog of the South", but this is a little different. It seems to have a little more loose energy in it, more reminiscent of On the Road. "It's about the journey, not the destination" is a good way to summarize how it comes across, since there's much more traveling in this book an ...more

Deze bescheiden cultklassieker uit 1966 stond al even op het leeslijstje. Portis (1933) schreef slechts vijf romans, waarvan Norwood de eerste is. Het is door en door Amerikaans, onderscheidt zich door z'n aparte, wat absurde humor en nadruk op gesproken Engels. Dat typisch Amerikaanse manifesteert zich niet via seks, geweld en oppervlakkigheid, maar door de Americana, de reis door de buik van het land, het Amerika van Flannery O'Connor en Mark Twain, een wereld die het midden lijkt te houden tu ...more

Portis' first novel, kind of hilarious in a low key kind of way. Good prose but basically a road story about a slightly above average Texas ordinary workingman in the 50's. A short book, good characters including an obese midget and manipulative shyster who sends Norwood on a wild goose chase. Not sure if I'll read Portis again, though.... would read True Grit by my memory contaminated by John Wayne and Jeff Bridges.

I put all of Charles Portis's novels in my Goodreads queue after watching the documentary about him on the True Grit Blu-Ray. Starting with the first, Norwood comes across as the hillbilly On the Road. While I got really bored with Kerouac, Portis was able to keep me hooked in, despite the fact that Norwood's journey is so much smaller in scope. There really isn't anything resembling a plot, or even a character arc, but the momentum of the book and Portis's no-nonsense language sneak up on you u ...more

3.5 really. Cute. Quirky. Parsimonious comedic storytelling -- Portis has an ear for colloquial dialogue and an eye for setting a scene in a few telling details. But for me there wasn't enough meat on this novel to make it essential reading. As someone else points out, Norwood Pratt often reminded me of Norville Barnes (from the Coen brothers' beloved film The Hudsucker Proxy, though this Nor-tragic-hero isn't lucky enough to have any sort of accidental brush with fame and fortune). I guess that ...more

Portis is so funny and strange. His style has a teasing smile under its every word. This book didn't break any new ground and it should have been about a hundred pages longer than it was (I rarely say that about any book) and I'm not nearly as besotted with it as Roy Blount Jr. was, but it cleared the way for his greater efforts (Dog of the South, Masters of Atlantis) and our world has been bettered because of it.

been on my rear end with a herniated disc for a week so i turned to my version of comfort food. i can see a criticism of portis that experiences his books as really well-turned shaggy dog stories -- a boob wanders off in the world, bumps into things, wanders home. that's more or less what happens in all of his novels, with some tweaks to the formula (although i haven't read Gringos yet). but that's all that really happens in the odyssey. what portis shares with homer is the pure beauty of his la ...more

When it comes to vintage Portis, this is as classic as it gets. Charles Portis's first novel, Norwood, is a resounding triumph of comedic picaresque literature.

Ex-Marine Norwood Pratt us sent on a mission - take a trailer-load of cars to New York - by konman Grady Fring the Kredit King.

"Norwood" was the first novel published by Charles Portis, who is best known for writing "True Grit." What a wonderful and odd little book. Clocking in at a little over 100 pages, "Norwood" is probably best described as a novella.

Gravecrawler Discussion
Ghomrag on B/U Tribal Zombie Swarm
23 hours ago
Hey man so for this deck my recommendation would be switch all Lord of the Undead to Diregraf Captain since it is a much better creature. Then to make up for the loss of the recursion ability run a playset of Unholy Grotto. It will be more resilient to removal since its a land and the ability is cheaper. I think Grave Titan could go and be replaced with Grimgrin, Corpse-Born. With good token generation he can be super powerful. Or even playing Gravecrawler a lot. Altar's Reap is better card draw for this deck in my opinion because I think Tidings isn't efficient enough. Dread Slaver is not very good because while his ability is cool, no one is going to block it and you have no way of forcing blocks so it can have better cards in its slot. One card that I think could be good is Cemetery Reaper. It buffs other zombies and it has a really nice effect you can dump mana into for tokens. Another thing is with the enchantments. I think you need to be a bit more focused. Like don't have 3 one-ofs. I would say do like 2 or 3 Rooftop Storms or Grave Pact. I think the weakest enchantment is Call to the Grave and you might not need 4 Endless Ranks of the Dead. Lastly some other cards I have seen that you could use are Undead Alchemist which would be better if you run Grave Pact and more sac outlets or the card Vengeful Pharaoh.
Ouranos139 on Prized Amalgam Rusalka Bridge Dredge
3 days ago
I used to play Drowned Rusalka in my dredge deck but I took it and most of my Bridge from Belows out because bridge dies to sufficient hate (which most decks currently have) and Rusalka is only good for feeding bridge.
Nice deck! You are the first person I have found (other than myself) who doesn't play Vengevine or Gravecrawler; I don't think those cards work well in dredge, as they require that you already have a prized amalgam in graveyard when your Bloodghast trigger resolves.
P.S.: -3 Greater Gargadon, +3 Stitchwing Skaab
Here's a link to my dredge deck: Narcomoeba Dredge
Ouranos139 on Dredgevine
4 days ago
I see what you are trying to do with Gravecrawler and Vengevine, where you get a Bloodghast while Prized Amalgam is in graveyard, thus giving you a zombie, meaning that you can then cast Gravecrawler from graveyard and get Vengevine, but that combo requires that you have at least one land in hand, and one Bloodghast, one Prized Amalgam, one Vengevine, and two Gravecrawlers in graveyard, making the combo very rare and the deck very inconsistent.
I suggest that you take out the Gravecrawlers and thus the Vengevines as well, because without Gravecrawler you don't cast any creatures. Add blue and play Narcomoeba, which is a good creature to have early game and an easy way to trigger Prized Amalgam. Also, Stitchwing Skaab is ridiculously good, it triggers Prized Amalgam and is a discard outlet, along with being a great attacker. Lotleth Troll has little to no use in dredge, as it takes up to much mana that you could otherwise use for drawing/dredging and Stitchwing Skaab. Thought Scour is a great draw spell as well as a mill engine; it allows you to dredge on turn one (occasionally) and at instant speed. Dakmor Salvage is great for getting back Bloodghast and it gets you a land when you need one, as you aren't drawing any cards and thus can't draw into lands you need without disrupting your engine.
I learned about your deck on reddit while reading about other people's dredge decks, and I just want to point out that, in my experience, Insolent Neonate is by far the best possible turn one play, as you can dredge on turn one, which if you go first, is before your opponent can play any of their sideboard hate (except for Leyline of the Void), and, if you go second, it is before they can crack their turn one Relic of Progenitus or play a turn two Rest in Peace (it doesn't do anything against turn one Grafdigger's Cage).
I often play Modern Dredge competitively, so I hope you like these suggestions. Great ideas though, I really like your deck!
P.S.: Always sacrifice the Insolent Neonate during your opponents turn if it is game one, and during your turn if it is game two or three.

Hey therequintonimor2 I built a deck very similar to this a few weeks ago I have Reap the Seagraf in my side board as well as Grave Betrayal a few copies of Necromancer's Stockpile (Which synergizes amazingly with Gravecrawler) and a playset of Soul of Innistrad
lagotripha on Zombie Madness (Modern)

I've been testing this thing (Knight of the zombies) which grew out of my zombie tribal attempt. I've found Mind Slash to be insanely strong in concert with Gravecrawler, and oddly enough Dregscape Zombie and Shambling Remains to be stong in concert with a Relentless Dead->Anathemancer with backup Vengevine plan. Extractor Demon is pretty good if you can get it in your graveyard. Zombie Infestation and more graveyard shenanigains? It all depends on what you're having trouble with as to what I'd suggest.
RoCueto on BW Aristocrats
5 days ago
Thanks all for your comments.
In regards to Zombardment, it never tested well for me, it doesn't really have any relevant good matches and I kept losing to Burn which is popular in my city's Legacy scene. This deck does much better against them, Delver and Sharldess, even if it also does much worse against D&T and Omnishow, and just as bad as ZB against Miracles.
Therefore I don't want to play Zombardment instead of this, I want to make this work as well as possible. It's a pet project and I don't lose anything by holding on to it since I already have Shardless and Dredge for when I want to win.
In regards to Carrion Feeder, he's awesome. His interaction with Gravecrawler whenever there's an Artist on the field pretty much makes the deck. If I'm replacing a sac outlet, because Viscera Seer really is a great idea, it's gonna be Cartel Aristocrat.
I do feel more removal could be optimal and Tidehollow Sculler is both discard and a zombie, but I'm not entirely sure what to trimm. Dark Confidant is OP, specially when your Av. CMC is 1.5. Vindicate has protected me from cards that had otherwise lost me the game such as Umezawa's Jitte, Sulfuric Vortex and Leyline of the Void. The discard suite, specially Cabal Therapy gains me a lot of time to find the engine pieces.
Maybe cut the Doomed Traveler for 2xTidehollow Sculler and 2xSwords to Plowshares

So, the thing is, there is already an Aristocrats style deck in legacy called Zombardment. The lists vary, but the aim is generally to use a bunch of tokens and bombard people to death.
There are two ways you can go I think. Heavy on the tokens, Young Pyromancer, Monastery Mentor and then stuff like Innocent Blood and Gitaxian Probe Or you can go for a more GY based abuse, with Tidehollow Sculler (MVP in this deck, 2 mana you can exile any card from their hand), Bloodghast, Gravecrawler etc.
Either way, the red is a must, it gives access to Lightning Bolt, Faithless Looting etc

Southeast Portlands resident urban herd is relocating to a new home in Lents, but theyre short on funds for moving day and beyond.
Volunteers have launched an initiative on the crowdfunding site Indiegogo to help raise the $75,000 they need to care for them.
The herd of 14 goats was forced out of their pasture on Southeast 10th by the construction of a new apartment complex.
Although the move is set for April, the Indiegogo campaign will be live until May 29.

Ramsay Hunt syndrome (progressive myoclonus ataxia) is a descriptive diagnosis characterized by myoclonus, ataxia, and infrequent seizures. Often the etiology cannot be determined. Recently, a mutation in the GOSR2 gene (c.430G>T, p.Gly144Trp) was reported in 6 patients with childhood-onset progressive ataxia and myoclonus.
We evaluated 5 patients with cortical myoclonus, ataxia, and areflexia.
All 5 patients had the same homozygous mutation in GOSR2. Here we present their clinical and neurophysiological data. Our patients (aged 7-26 years) all originated from the northern Netherlands and showed a remarkably homogeneous phenotype. Myoclonus and ataxia were relentlessly progressive over the years. Electromyography revealed signs of sensory neuronopathy or anterior horn cell involvement, or both, in all patients with absent reflexes.
Based on the presented phenotype, we would advise movement disorder specialists to consider mutation analysis of GOSR2 in patients with Ramsay Hunt syndrome, especially when they also have areflexia. © 2013 International Parkinson and Movement Disorder Society

Destrehan teacher takes home $500 photo contest prize
January 16, 2014 at 9:48 am | Mobile Reader | Print
Of the 14 finalists, the top three will receive prizes including $500 for first place, a year's subscription to the Herald-Guide for second place and a Louisiana Sportsmen t-shirt for third place.
For those who would like to take part in the 2014 Camera Shootout, go to www.heraldguide.com to submit your photos now. You never know, it could be you taking home $500 next year.
Listed below are the top three finishers in the 2013 Herald-Guide Camera Shootout photo contest.
1st place
"Boy's best friend" by Christina Plaisance, of Destrehan, won first place in the 2013 Herald-Guide Camera Shootout.
Call it beginner's luck, but with her first photo submission ever, Plaisance took home the weekly win, the monthly win and eventually came out on top of the year end contest to become the Camera Shootout winner for 2013.
The winning photo was taken by Plaisance and shows the strong relationship that exists between her nephew and her dog.
"Boudreaux is our family dog and we adopted him about two years ago. He was found on the side of the road in horrible condition, so we took him in and adopted him. Kenny Paul is my nephew and they are best friends," she said. "Kenny Paul has his own dog who doesn't want to have anything to do with him, but Boudreaux is his best friend."
Plaisance said the photo was taken on the spur of the moment.
"One day I was getting dressed to go to a wedding and all of the sudden I looked and they were looking out the window and he had his arm around him," she said.
The idea to submit the photo to the Herald-Guide came after she saw the photo contest in a copy of the newspaper.
Now that she has won, Plaisance plans on continuing to submit photos, but first she is going to put the $500 prize to good use.
"I will, probably because Boudreaux was adopted, give some of the money to the ASPCA (American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals) and then whatever is left put into Kenny Paul's college fund," she said.
2nd place
"Afternoon snack" by Aimee Fontenot, of Luling, came in second place.
Fontenot said the photo was taken in April 2013 when she and friends were having a get together.
"Me and some friends were having a crawfish boil with our kids one afternoon back in April and we cut up a watermelon for the kids and they were all sitting there eating their watermelon. We were having a nice family afternoon," she said.
When the photo was selected for the yearly contest, Fontenot said the family was happy.
"We were very excited when we found out that we had made it," she said.
A regular contributor to the photo contest, Fontenot said even though she did not get first place she will continue submitting photos to the contest for the sense of community it provides.
"It's just a fun thing to do right here in the local area to have the contest and see the local people and everything," she said.
3rd place
"Sweet Moment" by Randi Elliott, of Bayou Gauche, came in third place.
Elliott's photo is of her son and a classmate who took part in the Allemands Elementary Cajun Dancers' presentation at the Destrehan Plantation Festival last year.
"The little boy is my son and the little girl is one of his friends and they were just sitting there chatting and I was snapping away," she said.
A few weeks after the photo was taken, it was printed in the Herald-Guide and invoked a reaction from the children pictured.
"He was so excited. He and the little girl came running home and said, 'We are in the newspaper!' They love it," Elliott said.
The photo was one of two Elliott submitted this year that were monthly winners and included in the final vote.
She said having her photos published in the paper alone are enough for her to continue submitting to the contest.
"We have a lot of friends and people we know who submit photos and look at it weekly and everything," she said. "I love it, it's fun. It is something enjoyable to look for in the newspaper."

Treasure Island (PagePerfect NOOK Book)by Robert Louis Stevenson, N.C. Wyeth
View All Available Formats & Editions
- LendMe LendMe™ Learn More
When he attends a dying patron of his family's boarding house, young Jim Hawkins has no idea that the man was once a pirate, or that the man's possessions include a map that will lead whoever has it to the island where the notorious buccaneer, Captain Flint, buried his treasure. Jim and his guardians hire a boat to sail to the island, unaware that crew they have hired includes many members of Flint's pirate band, among them former quartermaster Long John Silver, and that they hope to claim the treasure for their own. The ensuing action-packed adventure established the classic pirate story as it was written for more than a century afterward, and it made the literary reputation of its young author, Robert Louis Stevenson.
First published as a book in 1883, Stevenson's tale of pirate adventure on the high seas has become one of the best-known classics of English literature. Illustrated with classic full-color plates by N.C. Wyeth, this exquisite edition features an elegant bonded leather binding, a satin-ribbon bookmark, distinctive stained edging, and decorative endpapers. It is a book that will be cherished by readers of all ages.

The book is nice, and the illustrations are wonderful in their color and detail. The only problem is that in the beginning it is hard to get into the story if you are not a real pirate/treasure fan. Other than that, the story went very smoothly.
I have read this book before, and loved reading this again. As I own six of the children's classics, I think that this is easier to understand than a few of the others. I think it's cover is beautiful and is even better in person.
Not a favorite. But still a good read.
I received this as a gift for Christmas this year (2011). Though I've read it in the past,the moment I started reading, I could'nt put it down. The book itself is finely made. VERY NICE binding. The paper is high grade with gold edgeing. Nice illustrations gives you a sense of an old copy. The story speaks for itself. It drags you in and keeps you there. If you've never read a true book about pirates and treasure then look no further, this is the grandaddy of them all. Definitely a must read.

The book itself, The binding and pages are quite nice, the book mark is good and the images are nice also and the book goes well with the other books of its series as well as it looks nice displayed with the larger B&N leatherbound books such as Sherlock Holmes and so forth. It has some very good characters such as Long John Silver, Jim Hawkins, The Doctor and The Squire. As to the story for those of you who have not read Treasure Island it is a great story of Pirates, Adventure and as the name would suggest Treasure, this book is an interesting read for any age and while it may not be your favorite book it will surely be another piece you will be happy to add to your own library.
Love this book

With all the industry talk about the benefits of Linux on Power and all the performance advantages offered by its open architecture, you may be considering a move in that direction. If you are thinking about analytics, big data and cloud computing, you would be right to evaluate Power. The idea of using commodity x86 hardware and replacing it every three years is an outdated cost model. It doesn't consider the total cost of ownership, and it doesn't consider the advantage of real processing power, high-availability and multithreading like a demon.
This ebook takes a look at some of the practical applications of the Linux on Power platform and ways you might bring all the performance power of this open architecture to bear for your organization. There are no smoke and mirrors here—just hard, cold, empirical evidence provided by independent sources. I also consider some innovative ways Linux on Power will be used in the future.Get the Guide

College is supposed to be one of the most important experiences in a young person's life. They learn information and develop skills that will lead to a lifelong career. It is also a time that young people are required to start learning their way through the world. Alcohol is a huge part of the social life in college. Although most drinking activity is dressed up to appear like harmless fun, there are many dangers that drinking alcohol at a party brings. One of the most damaging is date rape.
This results when someone slips a drug into a victim's drink without their knowledge. The drugs, which are colorless and tasteless, will render them unconscious and at the mercy of whoever has just drugged them. This is a serious problem but there are steps that you can take to avoid becoming the victim of date rape. Due to the frequency of date rape and the use of date rape drugs, innovative products are being created to help detect the presence of drugs in drinks. For example, Undercover Colors (Buzzfeed.com) is currently developing a color changing nail polish sticker that changes color when it comes in contact with common date rape drugs like GHB.
When you make the choice to drink alcohol you are taking responsibility for yourself. This means that you don't allow the alcohol to diminish your ability to defend and protect yourself. Have a good time but don't drink so much that you can't pay attention to what is happening around you. Being responsible for your choices is part of being an adult.
- Never accept drinks from someone else. Only accept drinks from someone you trust. Once you are drugged you will be helpless to defend yourself, so make the decision to be vigilant. Always watch your drink and never leave it unattended.
- Let your instincts guide you. If you are in a place that doesn't feel "right", or makes you uncomfortable get out. Call a friend to come meet you and escort you home. Many colleges provide escort services to help women from being in compromising positions.
- If you are going on a first date with someone, make sure that you check in with a friend before and continually check in throughout the date. Make sure to meet in a public, populated place. Don't leave a party with someone that you have just met. You have no idea who they are or what their intentions are.
- Stick with your friends. There is always safety in numbers. When you are at a party where people are drinking alcohol, make sure to not get separated from those you went with.
It is important to remember these tips in order to keep yourself safe and allow for the college experience to be one of the best things that ever experience. So be smart when you are out for the evening, and help create an environment that is safe for women.

Kapi-Mana News
Tawa kids took their shaky first steps towards mastering inline hockey at Grasslees Reserve last week.
Thirty-six under-10 kids attended two week-long training camps run by the Rimutaka Renegades inline hockey club over the past fortnight.
Inline hockey is played wearing inline skates, so the children had to master their skating skills before they moved onto hockey itself. There were plenty of wobbles and falls but by the end of the programme the children were whizzing about, bending pucks around courses of cones and playing a proper game on the final day.
After two days of rain last Monday and Tuesday, which forced the kids to learn hockey theory indoors, the second class finally got outside and on their skates. For Tawa School pupil Sammy Park, 10, putting on her skates for the first time was the best moment of the week.
They were coached by Team Canada inline hockey captain Dave Hammond, former Tawa College student Thomas Coulmann and Kiwi Jerreau Hohaia, who plays professionally in Germany.
The trio visited Tawa schools in December, teaching kids the game and encouraging them to attend summer camp, Mr Hohaia said.
"They love it. They're out of classwork and they're right into playing around. They just love being on skates."
There was a huge demand for the summer camps, and the coaches hope to start after- school and weekend programmes to grow the sport in Tawa.
"We're just trying to build the interest," Mr Hohaia said.
"Ultimately what we want is a club to be set up here."

Fourteen Australian-based Kiwi student-loan borrowers may be bankrupted or stripped of their assets for repeatedly failing to repay their debts.
Inland Revenue is pursuing the Kiwi expats through the courts as part of its drive to collect overdue repayments from overseas borrowers.
The first legal action against student debtors overseas was prefaced by a warning letter sent out to 45 people late last year.
That was enough to galvanise most into action, but some remain recalcitrant.
"These borrowers continue to ignore their repayment obligations despite numerous contacts with them by our staff," said Inland Revenue collections manager Richard Owen.
"The others have been able to resolve their situation with our staff and have made repayments toward their student loan debt."
Mr Owen said judgment would be obtained in New Zealand, and Inland Revenue would apply to have it sealed in the Supreme Court of Australia if the borrowers continued to renege on their debts.
That judgment would then be enforced using several possible remedies, including charging orders, asset seizure and even bankruptcy.
Another option was garnishee notices, which would make the debtors' employers send a proportion of their wages directly to Inland Revenue.
Mr Owen said taking legal action was a last resort. However, borrowers living overseas needed to be aware that "they may have gone away, but their student loan has not".
Inland Revenue is also in the final stages of contracting private tracing agencies and debt collectors to act on its behalf overseas.
New Zealand Union of Students' Associations president Pete Hodkinson acknowledged that some people were taking advantage of the student loan scheme.
"If we can get those people to pay, that's fantastic - chiefly because it's their behaviour that's used to justify dropping student support," he said.
But he criticised arbitrary policy changes such as the slashing of the overseas repayment holiday from three years to one, which came into effect in April.
"We don't believe that any student overseas for longer than a year should be considered a criminal because of that shifting of goalposts."
Inland Revenue has collected $42 million in the two years since the start of the repayment drive, or about 10 per cent of the $418m owed by students living overseas that is overdue.
