FROM THE BEEHIVE

Marathon effort over past weekwith NATHANGUY

FROMMY DIARY* On Tuesday I was in Christchurchwith the PrimeMinister celebratingirrigation improvements.* I am around the electorate thisweek.

It has been great to get out and aboutin the community over the past coupleof weeks.

A few weeks ago I took part in theGreat Forest Run at Waitarere Beachwhere I completed my first evermarathon (in four hours and 14minutes). It was exhausting buthugely rewarding to cross the finishline. This has become an iconic eventfor Horowhenua and credit must begiven to both the organisers and thethousands who participated. Mywhole family got involved in differentrunning events and loved it.

That afternoon Minister for PacificIsland Affairs Hon. Sam Lotu-Iigaspoke to the Pacifica community inLevin. Sam was really well receivedwhere he talked about his vision forPacifica people living here in NewZealand and how this related to theHorowhenua.

I had a busy Easter and popped intothe Paraparaumu Beach Market,which has great locally grownproduce. The fruit and vegetablesfound at the market is a reminder ofwhy Kapiti and Horowhenua is the

fruit bowl of theWellingtonRegion. TheWaikanae EasterFair at MaharaPlace is afantastic annualevent thatattractshundreds ofvisitors andlocals. It was

great to have the National Party standat the fair and it provided a greatopportunity for me to catch up withheaps of locals.

Local ANZAC daycommemorations were really wellattended. I spoke at the Dawn Servicein Otaki, where I estimated over 1000people attended. I then visited theManakau community service, whereManakau school pupils and Scoutshad spent a huge amount of timemaking fantastic looking wreaths forthe ceremony.

There was a real buzz at the WarVeterans Service in Levin. Manypeople talked about the reunion of myold Waiopehu College first XV(1987/88) at Easter which chose the

War Veterans home to fundraise somecash for. Many of my old mates raisedover $10,000 from donated auctionitems. It was great to hear aboutpotentially developing new Bowls andPetanque facilities that will reallybenefit the Veterans.

Lastly, I attended the Main CivicService in Levin, which was shiftedindoors to Te Takere because of therain. The roll of Honour read out of byHead Prefects from our local collegeswas a sombre moment, whichreminded of us all of the people fromour region who sacrificed their livesfor our freedom.

It has been great to have attendedso many fantastic locally organisedevents. Connecting with ourcommunity is very important to me asyour local MP.

Expensive exerciseInland Revenue is well known throughoutNew Zealand as the Government’s majorrevenue gatherers through company tax,personal tax and GST; however, a recentprint media report also revealed that theIRD are also substantial spenders.

In the year 2012/2013 the IRD spentnearly $53 million on contractors andconsultants while staff redundancypayments in the last four years havetotalled $40m on account of majorrestructuring with the loss of 657 staff. Theaverage redundancy payout was around$60,000, although 15 individuals receivedpayouts of $200,000 each and two formersenior managers received between $390,000and $400,000.

It would appear that IRD restructuring isan expensive exercise which has had theinevitable flow-on effect on the taxpayer. Itis to be hoped that the restructuringexercise has positive benefits for the NewZealand taxpayer in the future.

Little church needs help

VISION: If this photo had been taken a hundred years ago very little would be different, supporter ofOhau’s St John the Baptist Church, Lyn Drader would like the community to get behind keeping it thatway.

LVN220414fwohau2

OHAU’S historic church stands on land donated by the Kebbellfamily, who were also responsible for the magnificent stained glasswindows they donated in memory of their three children. Restorationwork on the entire building has been carried out over 110 years butsupporter Lyn Drader knows there is more to be done.

By FRANKIEWEBB

Ohau’s St John the BaptistChurch has stood tall for 110years.

Pioneer settlers Mr and MrsJohn Kebbell donated land inMuhunoa East Road for theexpress purpose of building anAnglican church. A publicsubscription helped raise the£250 required for the building.

The church was completed in1904 and consecrated two yearslater.

Timber was carted, free ofcharge, from a local mill. Manypeople are remembered for theircontribution.

The magnificent stained glass

window was given by theKebbells in honour of their threechildren, the church bell wasgiven in 1907 by the sons of SirWalter Buller in his memory,and the font was produced from asingle tree trunk and carved bythe then Ohau store owner.

Over the century work hasbeen carried out includingrepiling in the 1970s, newspouting and painting and theaddition of a church hall.

The church is still very mucha part of the Ohau community.

‘‘Services are held twice amonth,’’ supporter of the littlechurch Lyn Drader said. ‘‘Thereare a number of weddings,funerals and christenings here

too and we had a congregation of40 on Christmas Day.’’

Now, after serving thecommunity for more than acentury, the church is in need ofsome community service.

‘‘The exterior desperatelyneeds to be painted,’’ Lyn said.‘‘There are a few spots of rot thatneed repaired.’’

Donations towards the workhave been trickling into theLevin Anglican Parish Office.More would be gratefullyreceived.

The office is open weekdaymornings at 3 Manchester Streetor donations can be posted toLevin Anglican Parish, P.O. Box90, Levin.

Memorable experiences for college head

LVN200414splburns4

FAREWELL: Rangatahi Ora students and whanau farewell their principal.

with BRENDABURNSHorowhenua College principal

LVN200414splburns1

FAMILY TIME: Derek and Brenda Burns with daughter Nicky atBrenda’s farewell function.

This is my last article asprincipal of HorowhenuaCollege.

The past 12 years have beenpacked full of experiences I willremember for the rest of my life.

There have been many newinitiatives introduced during mytime at the college and as I leave

it is pleasing to see themembedding into the culture ofNUA.

There are far too many tomention them all but restorativepractices has been a really

positive way of resolving studentissues.

The new uniforms haveimproved student pride and thehuge efforts that have been madeto introduce technology in theclassroom have really engagedthe students in their learning.

The college facilities aresecond to none and with therefurbishment of the science labssoon to be addressed, every areawill have been upgraded.

The students at NUA areamazing and HorowhenuaCollege is a very special college.

It reflects ‘‘real New Zealand’’society. We are not all perfect,academically excellent, greatsports champions or fantasticartists but we certainly punchabove our weight. The successesof our individuals and teamsnever cease to impress me.

One of my many goals for thestudents was to ensure that theyhad the same standard offacilities, pride in theirappearance, and opportunities toachieve as any student in NewZealand. I was often questionedabout my intentions to turn thecollege into an ‘‘Aucklandschool’’. My response was if thatmeans our students have thesame advantages andopportunities as those inAuckland what is wrong withthat!

Everything we promote is forthe benefit of the students andthe staff work hard to offersupport to all the students andtheir whanau.

I wish Horowhenua Collegewell for the future. It is a greatplace and serves this communitywell.

WINTER’SWINTER’S COMINGCOMINGHave You Planned YourHeating Solutions?

Winter is on its way and before you know it you may be caught out running to Mitre 10 to grabwhatever it is they have on special to get you through the next 6 month blizzard that is about to hit! A lotof people already have a heating source at home either built in or portable gas heaters, plug in electricheaters the works!Over the years I have been into literally hundreds of homes across New Zealand travelling as a healthyhomes consultant and I have come to be able to identify and understand what works best and what’s acomplete waste of time, energy and most importantly MONEY.

#1 At the top of this list has to be the proverbial oil column electric plug in heater:Almost every New Zealand home has one, yet most people are not aware that the heater needs to heatup the oil inside the heater first, THEN heat the metal surrounding the heater, THEN hopefully there’senough heat generated off those two to start radiating some heat off the heater to the surroundingenvironment… If you’ve got one throw it out as you probably already know that you pretty much haveto SIT on the heater to get any heat off it. This heater scores 1/10 on my useful heaters scale.According to consumer magazine’s article dated 09 April 2013, an inefficient two kilowatt heater cancost up to 60 cents per hour to run, if run 8 hours a day during winter for 30 days this will cost youupwards of $140 to run…

#3 Night Store Heater:

#2 Has to be the old famous portable gas heater:

These are old English style heaters that worked a treat in the 1960s when there was a night ratecharge that was significantly cheaper than the day rate charge, as typically people were a sleepand the strain on the electrical grid was a lot lower.

How do they work? Electricity to the units is restricted to night time, when ‘on’, electricity heatsthe elements, which in turn heat the bricks, although surrounded in a layer of insulation as thebrick get hotter the casing of the heater becomes hotter. Essentially it is the heat from the casingthat heats the room.

The photo above is of a dismantled Night Store Heater, you can see the thick heating elementand the bricks that are required to heat up and radiate heat into the room throughout the day.The reason this is so inefficient now is because the heating element has to be very thick soas not to melt with the electric current running through it, thereby meaning that by today’sstandards the resistance is higher which means it has to use more electricity to give off heat,constantly.

Basically if you move into a home that got one I wouldn’t use it, unless you totally have nothingelse and don’t mind paying Genesis or Meridian more of your hard earned money. This heaterscores 4/10 on my useful heaters scale.

This is the most unhealthy and costly form of heating that you could have in any home, it’s so bad itshould have been number 1. As with the oil column heater, this heater is spread out across the countryand continues to be stocked on the shelves of Warehouse, Mitre10 and other such discount stores,through out the winter and they sell them by the container load.Cheap. That’s the underlying reason for it but hey, did you know that they are BANNED in Australia??Did you know that Fischer and Paykel refuse to sell them at any of their retail stores? Why?‘Unflued gas heaters burn gas to produce heat but they have no flue or chimney to transfer combustionproducts outside. These combustion products include: water, (creates condensation, damp andenables mould growth) nitrogen dioxide, (linked to lower respiratory tract infection in infantsexposed to the NO2 for extended periods of time; asthma, bronchitis, croup) sulphur dioxide, carbonmonoxide(POISON) … and formaldehyde.’ – Beacon International – Knowledge Base.So these heaters make you sick, your kids sick, your cat, your dog, your mom, your aunt everyone thatbreathes in any of what these heaters produce WILL GET SICK. SO let’s get rid of them! This heaterscores 0.5/10 on my useful heaters scale

Bush-goers remindedto be well preparedBy FRANKIEWEBB

Police want to remindhunters and trampers thatpreparation is vital beforeheading into the bush aftera hunting group of fivemen and their four dogshad to be air-lifted from theNorthern Tararua Rangesin the Mangahao on April28.

A search and rescueoperation was launchedwith support fromHorowhenua SARvolunteers and thePalmerston North RescueHelicopter after a memberof the group managed toobtain cellphone coverage.

The men, aged from lateteens to early 50s, did havea GPS device and were wellacquainted with the area.

‘‘They were woefully ill-prepared and did not havean emergency locatorbeacon which is a life-saving piece ofequipment,’’ said

Manawatu SAR co-ordinator Sergeant AndyBrooke. The group hadentered the area fromTokomaru Valley Roadand walked to theMangahao River in theafternoon of SaturdayApril 26. At the time theweather was fine and thegroup crossed the riverand walked through thebush to their campsite.

Overnight the weatherdeteriorated. When theyreturned to the river it hadswollen to dangerouslevels making itimpassable. The groupattempted to climbtowards the Burn Hut looptrack to find a route to getthem out of the area.

Failing to find the hutthey spent Sunday night inthe open huddled together.

The weatherdeteriorated further, theybecame trapped in densebush and were unable tomake their own way out.

The Palmerston NorthRescue Helicopter haddifficulty locating thegroup but eventuallymanaged to winch themand their dogs to a safelocation.

‘‘All members of theexhausted party weresuffering from varyingdegrees of mildhypothermia’’ saidSergeant Brooke.

‘‘This once againhighlights cellphonesshould not be relied uponas a means of emergencycommunication.’’

He said an emergencylocator beacon or a radio,which can be hired fromthe Mountain RadioService, should be taken.

‘‘Be prepared foremergencies and havealternate plans whenventuring into theoutdoors, whether it isinto the hills or on thewater,’’ Sergeant Brookesaid.

BREAST CANCER FACTS■ In 2012, for the first time, the number of womendiagnosed with breast cancer in New Zealandexceeded 3000.■ 90-95 per cent of women who are diagnosed withbreast cancer have no family history of the disease.■ Around 370 New Zealand women in the pre-screening age group of 20-44 will be diagnosed withbreast cancer this year— that’s one woman a day.■ More than 600 women will die of breast cancerthis year— about the size of a large primary school.■ The New Zealand Breast Cancer Foundationrecommends yearly breast screening mammogramsfor women 40-49 years of age, and every two yearsfrom age 50.■ Maori women are 40 per cent more likely to bediagnosed with breast cancer than non-Maoriwomen and 43 per cent more likely to die of thedisease. Maori women are also more likely to bediagnosed when breast cancer is in its moreadvanced stage.

Surviving cancerBreast cancer is not alwaysthe death sentence it oncewas thanks to breastscreening and earlydiagnosis, and advances inmedical research.

Levin woman VivHudson, 61, discovered alump in her breast by purechance, on her birthday onMarch 16 last year. Havinghad a cyst removed in thepast, Ms Hudson thought itthis lump was another cyst.

‘‘I certainly wasn’tprepared to hear the wordcancer. I’ve never smokedso it was pure shock,’’ shesaid. Three weeks later MsHudson underwent anoperation followed by sixmonths of chemotherapy,radiation for 25 days and ayear’s course of the drugHerceptin, which shefinished last month. Three-monthly checkups willfollow until she gets the ‘allclear’ but one side-effect MsHudson will have to livewith for a while yet islympoedema, fluidretention and tissueswelling in her arm causedby removal of lymph nodesduring the operation last

year, requiring a pressurebandage to be worn dailyand physio once a month.

‘‘I was given plenty ofinformation to help methrough the process but alsohad a good circle of friendsthrough work and thechurch. They’re justamazing.’’

Cris Walsh is anothersurvivor of cancer. TheWaitarere woman wasdiagnosed in March 2006with the aggressive HER2form of breast cancer, andunderwent a mastectomy,radiotherapy,chemotherapy and thenHerceptin, a drug proven toincrease survival rates forpeople with HER2.

HER2, a moreaggressive cancer thatpromotes the growth ofcancer cells, is a genemutation that occurs onlyin cancer cells and is notinherited from a parent.

Treatment for Dr Walshtook almost two years tocomplete.

Early diagnosis greatlyimproves the chances ofbeating cancer.

In Dr Walsh’s case,

despite regular breastscreening and earlydiagnosis, the tumour wasalready quite large. ‘‘It grewso quickly because HER2 isthe more aggressive type ofcancer and more deadly,’’she said.

‘‘Hearing that wordcancer, I thought it was adeath sentence. It’s not untilyou find out more about it,that you become aware ofthe different treatmentsavailable.’’

She said support fromfamily, friends and cancerorganisations is absolutelycritical to help you throughthe shock of the diagnosisand treatment that follows.

May is Pink RibbonBreakfast month andthe New Zealand BreastCancer Foundation ishoping 2000 Kiwis willhost a breakfast toraise funds for itsbreast cancer researchand educationprogramme.

More than 1000breakfasts have beenregistered so far withmore than 100 cafesaround the countryalso taking part,donating a portion oftheir May breakfastprofits to Pink RibbonBreakfast.

STAR WATCH

Our night sky for May

LVN210414splstar

BYGLENSMITH

Jupiter is still the evening planetappearing in the northwest aftersunset. A telescope will show thedisk of Jupiter and possibly somemoons. Mars rises soon after inthe northeast sky. Saturn nowcomes into view in the easternsky. A telescope will show itsbeautiful rings and moons.

An occultation of Saturnoccurs on May 14-15 aroundmidnight a few hours before fullmoon.

The occultation can be seenwith either a pair of binoculars ora telescope. As seen from Earth,Saturn disappears behind themoon and reappears about 1minute later on the other side.

Low in the east is reddish /orange Antares, marking theheart of the scorpion. Antares is ared giant star similar toBetelgeuse. Betelgeuse is 600 lightyears away and 19,000 timesbrighter than the sun. Arcturus inthe northeast is the brightest redstar in the sky not counting planetmars but is 37 light years muchcloser than Antares. It is about 120times brighter than the sun, oursun is white and not orange.

Venus remains prominent inthe morning sky rising at 4.20am.Mercury will be visible very soonas it moves further away fromSun.

Most sunspots are associatedwith groups that can changedramatically in a matter of hours.

KIMBERLEY Centre - from psychiatric hospital to somethingelse. Tenders have closed and interest intense.

PHOTO: FRANKIE WEBB

Much interestBy FRANKIEWEBB

Interest in the former Kimberley Centreon Kimberley Road has been huge.

‘‘We have a number of tenders inhand,’’ NAI Harcourts agent BrianKendrick said.

‘‘It is now up to the (MidCentralHealth) board to make a decision.’’

Tenders for the 48.6254 hectareproperty closed on April 3. Having inexcess of 70 buildings, a 2006 registeredvaluation estimated the replacement costat $19 million. With little maintenancecarried out over the past 17 years a ratingvaluation done last August gave anoverall rateable value of $3,850,000.

‘‘Farmers were initially interested, itis quality land with established trees andtown water,’’ Mr Kendrick said. ‘‘Oninvestigation the cost of removingbuildings, ripping up roads etc made it anunrealistic project.’’

Rumours circulated the CorrectionsService may have been interested in thesite. ‘‘We have never had an enquiry fromCorrections,’’ Mr Kendrick said. ‘‘Mostenquiries have come from propertydevelopers, there are a number of tenderswith plans to develop a very good assetfor Levin.’’

The former Horowhenua Hospital sitein Liverpool Street played second fiddleto the more lucrative Kimberley sitebeing up for tender at the same time.

‘‘We have received a number oftenders,’’ Mr Kendrick said. ‘‘Themajority have been interested forresidential development or a retirementvillage type of project.’’

An announcement regarding thefuture of both properties is expected aftera MCDHB meeting in mid-May.

LVN300414bgbuck

The best test is the test of time.B G Buck Ltd, your well known

electrical contractors, have expandedto offer a further service into the fieldof commercial refrigeration.

The manager Barrie Buck says overthe 50-plus years in business this hasalways been an area of interest buthas been too busy within theelectrical side of the business to fullycommit into other areas.

Being involved with the supply,installation and servicing of a numberof manufacturers’ of heat pumps andwith the extra staff who have theexpertise in commercialrefrigeration, it makes good businesssense to run these together.

Barrie points out that their extra

advantages are of having a fullyequipped workshop, the ability tomanufacture their own controlequipment to each client’s ownrequirements and to fullyinstall.

So B G Buck Ltd is really a one-stopshop from advice, manufacture toinstallation.

Barrie also points out thecompany’s policy on training andkeeping ahead of this ever-changingindustry of products and technologytogether with their staff’s dedicationand enthusiasm to our clients needsand offer a full back up andbreakdown service 24/7.

been Dr Teppett’s 100th birthday.Foxton was left reeling in 1993

when the town’s doctor of 44 yearswas murdered in a home invasionby two local men. His elderlysister was also attacked. Up untilhis death at 79 the father of fourwas still practicing.

The doctor’s family and Foxton

residents are determined to keepDr Teppett’s memory alive byestablishing the foundation to pro-vide scholarships for ManawatuCollege pupils who want to go onto study in a health related field ata polytech or university.

Foxton real estate firm BayleysFoxton hold a charity ball every

year. This year they have chosento support the Howard TeppettFoundation as two members ofstaff have a close connection withDr Teppett. He delivered the localmanager Ellen Graham and col-league Amanda Street.

The evening will feature acharity auction and entertain-

ment from renowned jazz musi-cians The Rodger Fox band.

TITLE TRIUMPH: Rangiora’s Dylan Walsh (KTM125) has the national15-16 years’ 125cc title in the bag for 2014.

PHOTO: ANDY MCGECHAN, BIKESPORTNZ.COM

By ANDYMcGECHAN

Rangiora’s KTM125 motocross riderDylan Walsh proved to be untouchable,winning all five of his races to take theNew Zealand Junior Motocross title lastmonth.

Walsh took his McIver and Veitch,Technosol, Backflips andBikesportNZ.com-backed KTM125 to winall five races in the 15-16 years’ 125ccclass over the Anzac weekend, easilywinning the national title ahead ofNgatea’s Ben Broad and Hawera’s NickHornby.

‘‘I didn’t have a good junior nationalslast season, but it all worked out well thistime around,’’ Walsh said.

‘‘I holeshot all three races on theSaturday and easily won those. I relaxeda bit on Sunday because I felt I didn’tneed to push too hard. I didn’t get theholeshots but was into the lead after

about the first lap each time.’’Walsh had previously won junior

national titles, twice in the 85cc class andonce in the 65cc class, but said this winwas the best one so far.

‘‘I will leave the junior competitionand go senior fulltime now. My next bigrace is the Michael Godfrey MemorialMotocross near Christchurch on May 3,and that will be my first event as afulltime senior.’’

KTM riders won half of the sixcategories contested at the juniornationals. Australian visitor TylerDarby won the 11-12 years’ 85cc class titleand Auckland’s Ryan Webley took the8-10 years’ 85cc class, while Taupo’sCohen Chase (Yamaha) won the 14-16years’ 250cc class; his younger brotherWyatt Chase (Yamaha) won the 85cc13-16 years’ class and Nelson’s ReeceWalker (Yamaha) won the 12-14 years’125cc class title.

NEWS IN BRIEF

❏ Colonoscopy fundingMidCentral DHB patients waiting for acolonoscopy will benefit from a $3.5 millionboost in funding.‘‘MidCentral DHB deliver up to 110 extracolonoscopies for patients most in need,’’said Health Minister Tony Ryall.A colonoscopy can identify whether aperson has cancer or pre-cancerousgrowths, called polyps. Bowel cancers foundand treated early can often be cured.DHBs have traditionally been stretched to

keep up with demand from an ageingpopulation.In the 2012/13 financial year, 41,000colonoscopies were performed by DHBsnationally, a 20 per cent increase on 2008/09.A faster diagnostic project, costing $16million, aims to improve access to the$1.8 million National Endoscopy QualityImprovement Programme.A symposium has just been held inWellington to look at ways of increasing NewZealand’s colonoscopy workforce capacityand efficiency.
