ALL CLEAR: After an extensivesearch police did not find anexplosive device that was reportedlyplaced in the Horowhenua DistrictCouncil offices.

Police investigate bomb hoaxBy PETER FRANKLIN

It was an anxious wait forHorowhenua District MayorBrendan Duffy and council staffas they watched from a distancewhile a police bomb detector dogand handler went in to search thecouncil building for an explosivedevice.

Just after 2pm on Wednesdaycouncil staff were alerted to abomb threat, and were told toevacuate the buildingimmediately.

While staff filed out from their

work place police cordoned off asection of State Highway 1 fromBath Street south, LevinVolunteer Fire Brigade was puton stand-by and St Johnambulance stood by close to thescene.

People were also evacuatedfrom businesses close to thecouncil building. Traffic on StateHighway 1 and pedestrians werediverted away from the potentialdanger zone.

A specialist police dog andhandler were called in fromWellington and with a local

police officer began a room byroom search of the building.

After a 40-minute search thepolice handler and his dog cameout of the building giving the allclear.

Sergeant Martin Bull of theLevin police said they hadreceived a call at about 1.55pm,the caller stated that a bomb hadbeen placed in the building andwas due to detonate at 2.30pm.

Mr Bull said police alertedcouncil to the situation and fireand ambulance services were puton stand-by. A specialist

explosives detection dog andhandler from Wellington werecalled in to conduct a search ofthe building. He said if a devicehad been located the police bombdisposal unit was on stand-by.

Mr Bull said it was the type ofsituation where you think it wasa hoax but that can never betaken for granted.

‘‘Regardless we have to treatit as a threat,’’ he said.

He said the search hadrevealed nothing and staff wereallowed back into the building.

Horowhenua District Council

chief executive DavidClapperton said the evacuationwent as planned and staff wereasked to check their workstations for any unusual objects.

The incident did not delay theplanned council meeting whichopened at 4.15pm.

Police said they wereinvestigating who made the calland the reasons why.

State Highway 1 was open totraffic and pedestrians at 4pm,although police remained at thecouncil offices while staffresumed work.

lvn300913fwscene — PHOTO FRANKIE WEBB

Horowhenua Adventure Park hasbecome a Levin icon and it’s nosurprise.

There would be few places morebeautiful to visit on a glorious springmorning. It is like a beacon for youngpeople during school holidays.

The flowering cherries dotted

around the park are most beautiful atthis time of year but provide summershade and winter shelter throughoutthe seasons.

FROM THE BEEHIVE

WiTHOTAKI MPNATHANGUYFROMMY DIARY

■ Monday was in Cabinet and Ispoke at a conference on the PrimaryGrowth Partnership (PGP) scheme.■ Tuesday— I was in Auckland togive the opening speech at theSeafood NZ conference and forindustry visits.■ Wednesday— I had a series ofvisits in Taranaki, and then doing thesame in the Bay of Plenty onThursday.■ Today, I will be around Kapiti andHorowhenua for a series of meetings.

Submitters having a say on Otaki expressway

During the lastcouple of weekssubmitters have beenable to have their sayon the proposedOtaki expressway asthe independentboard of inquiryholds its publichearing.

The 13kmhighway will run

between Peka Peka and Otaki and is aninvestment of about $250 million,including a new four-lane bridge overthe Otaki River. It will form animportant part of the WellingtonAirport to Levin Road of NationalSignificance.

The new route will help to improvesafety, reduce congestion and speed themovement of people and freight. It willmean a boost to the regional economy,while it is built and once complete.

Anyone who has been stuck in atraffic jam around Otaki on weekends,or public holidays, will know howimportant this project is.

The Otaki railway town has becomea real shopping destination in its ownright. People make trips to Otakiespecially for the shopping and in myview this will continue and mayenhance shoppers’ experience with lessheavy traffic on the main street.

Traffic on this route is predicted toincrease to about 20,000 vehicles a dayby 2031, so it’s important we preparenow.

Just like the Kapiti expresswayprocess earlier this year, the inquiry isa fair and open process that letseveryone have their say and a range ofdifferent opinions have been heard sofar.

If consent is granted, constructionwill start in early 2016 and be finishedby 2020.

Along with the Kapiti expresswayand Transmission Gully, I’m lookingforward to the first spade hitting theground and work beginning.

A fifth of Horowhenua district’s populationis over aged 65, which is high comparedwith 12.3 per cent of the country’s totalpopulation.

The district is an appropriate host forthe Age on the Go Expo, which opens at TeTakere today, and a celebration ofGrandparents Day tomorrow.

The expo is a joint Age Concern andHorowhenua District Council initiative.

The first expo, in 2010, was so successfulthe partnership decided to make it anannual event.

Last year, 1000 people visited throughoutthe day. With 45 stalls on offer from 10-3pm,there’s going to be plenty to see.

‘‘Not only is the expo a chance forbusinesses and community organisationsto increase their visibility, it’s also one ofthe best opportunities for us toacknowledge the huge impact the older

generations have on the district,’’Horowhenua District Council chiefexecutive David Clapperton said.

The expo delivers on the Positive AgeingAction Plan providing access toinformation enabling older people to makeinformed choices.

This is a particularly significant time tostage the expo as October 1 wasInternational Day for Older Persons and ispart of Age Concern Awareness week.

Speaking out against domestic violence

GUEST SPEAKER: RickHepi from Wellington: ‘‘It’stime that we stand up and

take responsibility forviolence against womenand children, and bring

about change among ourfamilies, friends and

communities.’’

HEADS UP WITH MANAWATU COLLEGE PRINCIPAL BRUCE MCINTYRE


SAYONARA: A party of Manawatu Col-lege students and staff members, alongwith a parent and two members of thecommunity, flew out of Palmerston Northlast Monday bound for Narita City, Japan.They are on a cultural exchange in thecity, being hosted largely by the familiesof those who visited us in August.The group will return next Saturday aftera stopover in Singapore.The 12-day trip cost members of theparty $2500 — much of which wasfundraised during the last two years.The group is pictured at PalmerstonNorth Airport, resplendent in theirtouring tops: From left, standing,Monique Munro, Shana Hillman, Johnand Jeanette Story, JD Kilmister, GemmaSquatritti, Linda Smith and organiserKevin Brown; kneeling Vivien Green-wood, Kahurangi Kidwell-Jarvis, JessicaCuthbert, Tayla Jones and Raha McLeod;front Scott Hofmann and Michiel Dykstra.


SUPPORT: Manawatu College Year 13 students Samantha Morris and Melissa Priceshow their support for White Ribbon.

Last Friday afternoon a large team of WhiteRibbon ambassadors descended uponManawatu College with the aim of raising

awareness among our students that it’s notOK to be violent, especially against womenand children.

White Ribbon is normally heldnationwide each November but it wasbrought forward to September for us thisyear so senior students could be involved.

A free sausage sizzle was available forstudent and staff members at lunchtime,which was followed in the hall bypresentations and drama and musical itemschallenged and entertained the school.

Our White Ribbon afternoon wasspectacularly supported by about 20members of the Patriots and their HarleyDavidsons.

They are past and present members ofthe Defence Force who ride and speak insupport of White Ribbon.

Wellington Patriot Rick Hepi addressedthe school and outlined that many of thePatriots were raised in homes and familieswhere violence occurred regularly. Forhim, riding for White Ribbon was a way ofhelping to break the cycle.

‘‘It is time we stand up and takeresponsibility for this violence, and bringabout change among our families, friendsand communities.’’

Following the guest speakers, the Level 2and 3 drama classes presented someharrowing re-enactments of some domesticviolence scenes.

They were hard-hitting but showed whatpeople can do to help if they suspect afamily is living with domestic violence,and reinforced theimportance of breaking thecycle.

To lighten the mood alittle, there were someprofessional performancesfrom the senior musicstudents to end theafternoon.

Students were able to signa pledge, where they‘‘promised to never commit,

condone or remain silent about violenceagainst women’’.

The Pledge is taken online, which meansthe students will be provided withinformation via email that will help thembuild The Pledge into their lives.

Everyone was positive about theafternoon, and its impact. The ‘It’s Not OKto be Angry, but It’s Mot OK to be Violent’message was heard loud and clear.

I wish to thank our public health nurseWhaea Olive MacKay, Margaret Smith, DiColeman, the Foxton Police and our dramaand music departments for organising andcontributing to such a challenging andmemorable afternoon.

STRIDING OUT: Women performed leg swings in training to become physical exerciseinstructors during their spare time. Bill Parry’s Department of Internal Affairs (PhysicalWelfare Branch) trained them during World War 2.

The great sports debateSport, as a form of healthy recreation, isgood for the wellbeing of any nation’s people— or is it?

Every study seems to reaffirm thatregular exercise is essential to maintain ahealthy body.

Nationwide, though, the currentepidemic of type-two diabetes is straininghealth services, and terms such as ‘morbidobesity’ have become commonplace in ourlanguage. Stomach stapling is a feature ofthe nation’s health system.

William (Bill) Parry must be spinning inhis grave. Although born in Australia, BillParry spent some time in our region asorganiser for the Manawatu FlaxmillsEmployees’ Union.

While living in Palmerston North, Parrymaintained his friendship with fellowLabour Party member Michael JosephSavage, who was in Auckland. In later years,they became room-mates in a Wellingtonboarding-house when Parliament was insession. Labour swept into office in 1935 and,as the new Prime Minister, Michael Savagemade Bill Parry his Minister of InternalAffairs.

Parry was a physical fitness fanatic and,in his time, participated in cycling, shootingand fishing. Parry’s big, strong athleticframe was often seen ‘‘sweating it out’’ in theparliamentary gymnasium he established.One of his first actions as the minister was tocreate the Council of Physical Welfare andTraining, under his Physical Welfare Act of1937. The council met six times in six yearsand seemed to do little. After 1944, it stoppedmeeting altogether.

The council’s main purpose, apparently,was to distribute funds to local groups forestablishing ‘‘healthy, recreationalactivities’’. These were mostly for youngpeople and often in schools.

After 1944, this allocation of money — atthe minister’s discretion — became thefunction of Parry’s department, InternalAffairs (the physical welfare branch).Parry’s department also organised, and paidfor, publicity which his opponents labelledpropaganda.

The opponents saw the whole ‘health andexercise regime’ as producing little or noprovable results for the taxpayers’investment. Further, they protested thatsome sports created injuries with lastingeffects, imposing an additional burden onthe taxpayers.

As well, they claimed that general orgroup exercising could cause ‘strains andpains’ since it was not designed for eachindividual’s specific needs. They furthermaintained that diet and moderate exerciseshould be the focus, and not organisedactivities which many saw as mirroring theexercise regimes the Nazi Party werepromoting for the Hitler Youth.

One outstanding feature of the times,which countered this opposition, was thepopularity of New Zealand’s marching girls.Bored young women (and some not soyoung) in provincial towns took to the sportalmost overnight. They made their ownuniforms, competed with other teams,travelled out of town — sometimes evenoverseas — and were ‘world champions’.

Their ‘fetching’ uniforms attracted largecrowds; they received awards and medalsand were honoured with civic receptions.Bill Parry was their most enthusiasticsupporter.

Looking back to the 1930s, it is easy to seehow the worldwide focus on health spas,water cures, lithe young bodies moving intime to music in groups, and Olympic heroes— such as Jack Lovelock — seemed toendorse Parry’s policies.

Into the 1940s, public and Governmentattention moved from sport and toward thewar effort. Bill Parry died in 1952 and formost of that decade Labour was out ofGovernment.

A Council of Recreation and Sport wasrevived by Labour in the 1970s, and NewZealand now has a Ministry of Sport. Still,though, the nagging question remains formany — is sport best, or should we focus ondiet and light exercise?

And, just as money was at the centre ofthe debate in Parry’s time, so it is again assport has become ‘big business’.

Professionalism has taken over, evenwith the All Blacks, who once received only10 shillings a week as a laundry allowanceand risked their amateur status by writing abook of memoirs.

The legendary Sir Colin ‘Pinetree’ Meadshad to rely on volunteer support fromneighbours to keep the farm going while hewas away on All Black tours. Playing the‘other game’ (rugby league) for moneymeant a life-time rugby union ban.

Today, New Zealand athletes tour theworld in their off-season, endorse a widerange of products and look forward to apost-playing career in coaching. MasseyUniversity offers Diplomas and Degrees inSports (including majors in subjects likemanagement or nutrition), gymmemberships are popular and televisionand radio have sports channels.

Perhaps the final word on the value ofsport, or exercise, or health in generalshould go to one who knows a great dealabout the subject, New Zealand’s ownDoctor Peter Snell. As the winner of severalOlympic gold medals, Snell now teaches,researches and writes from the Universityof Texas.

To summarise all he has written in just awords may seem impertinent, but for us thereal ‘gold’ lies in Dr Snell’s tip on how toavoid growing an ‘old person’s’ body. Lightexercise, twice daily, for about 20 minutes,until one is short of breath.

Bill Parry would, no doubt, have beenwell-pleased.

ROSEMARYCLEATOR

I am standing for Council because I believe itis time for new people to come forward witha fresh approach

We have everything here in Horowhenua - allit needs is for the people to believe in it, andthe Council to lead it!

I believe I have the necessary qualitiesto help achieve that goal – I am honest,hardworking, have an open mind and aboveall am prepared to listen. My husband and Ihave lived in Levin for 40 years and raisedour family here. I have run two successfulbusinesses, and have held key positions inNational organisations.

I believe council needs to focus and prioritisethe essential projects in our district such as‘our’ Lake, water and sewage issues, andabove all needs to foster a better connectionbetween the community and those leading it.

YOUR VIEWS

Group-thinkI read with interest your ‘Who’sbacking the hopefuls’ article(Horowhenua Chronicle,September 27, page 3) in relationto candidates standing in theupcoming local body electionsfor the Horowhenua (especiallythe Kere Kere Ward).

There were a number ofcurrent councillors, boardmembers and new candidateseither nominating or secondingmayoral, councillor and FoxtonCommunity Board candidateswhich, in my opinion, seems atad politically incestuous.

I also read Ngaire Ellwood’sletter to the editor (October 2 )regarding her ‘care’ for thepublic and her attendance at theRotary meet the candidatesmeeting in Foxton. In fact therewas also a HorowhenuaRatepayers meet the candidates

public meeting in Foxtonchaired by Malcolm Guy. Whatwas very striking is that of themayoral candidates, only AnneHunt and Pirihira Takapuaturned up. Of the Kere Kerecandidates standing, I was theonly one to turn up. CandidatesEllwood, Brannigan and Allenwere all absent.

Of the community boardmembers standing, onlyMichael Coupe, myself andTrish Metcalfe were there.Potential board membersRoche, Vertongen, Street andSmart did not attend. I do hopethis is not the precursor to agroup-think mentality in thenew council and communityboard and I wonder why all ofthese candidates failed to attenda bone fide meeting of theirconstituents. Surely listening tothe public and not being afraidof questions they (the rate

paying public) may ask is part ofbeing a local governmentpolitician?

MICHAEL FEYENFoxton

Policy breechDuring the current local bodyelection campaign, theChronicle apparently hasadopted a policy of notpublishing letters fromcandidates for office. Fairenough, we are a noisy enoughlot anyway.

A concerned citizen severalweeks ago wrote a Letter to theEditor critical of Anne Hunt.She tells me she was phoned bythe Chronicle who explainedthey could not publish her letterbecause Anne would not be ableto reply or refute the letter’sallegations because of thispolicy of no letters from

candidates.Fair enough. I understood

and agreed with your policy andits implementation.

So how come this last weekyou published a letter critical ofthe mayor and severalcandidates for not attendingHorowhenua RatepayersAssociation organised ‘Meet theCandidates’ evenings (not thatthe charge applied to me since Idid attend)? This letter wascritical of the mayor and anumber of unnamed candidateswho have no opportunity todefend themselves, and waswritten by Margaret Jeune. Thelast time I looked Margaret is acandidate for the Levin Ward.

So again how come theChronicle breeched its ownpolicy?

More than 250 TV sets were dropped off forrecycling in Horowhenua after the firstmonth of the TV TakeBack programme.

The Ministry for the Environmentfigures, which coincide with television inthe lower North Island going digital, show266 televisions were collected at drop-offpoints as residents recognise they would beharmful to the environment if they aredumped.

Horowhenua used up 19 per cent of itsallocated quota in the first 30 days of theprogramme, an initiative designed toencourage the public to recycle unwantedTVs, diverting them from landfill.

TV TakeBack operations manager at theministry, Glenn Wigley, said the ministrywas encouraging anyone with anunwanted TV to take it to a collection point.

‘‘People know televisions containmaterials, such as lead, that can be harmfulto the environment so they shouldn’t bethrown away.’

‘‘Many of those who have dropped offtheir unwanted TVs are surprised to hearthey contain valuable components such ascopper and steel, which can be recycledlocally, or sent overseas to specialistrecycling facilities.’’

‘‘Metals can be melted down and usedin items for the construction, oragricultural industries. Precious metalscan be recovered for use in new electronic

items. Glass can be remanufacturedoverseas into new televisions, ormonitors, used for sand blasting or inindustrial processes.’’

The Government has committedfunding from the Waste MinimisationFund for TV TakeBack, to coverinvestment in recycling infrastructure,subsidies for TV recycling and a publicawareness programme. Money for theWaste Minimisation Fund comes from alevy charged on waste disposed of atlandfills.

Two tonnes ofrubbish removedTwo tonnes of rubbish was removed from Levin’sparks and streets during Keep New Zealand BeautifulWeek.

Keep Levin Beautiful chairman Tony Rush saiddespite the wet and cold weather on Saturday nearlyas many rubbish bags as in past years were handed into the recycling sorting centre at the Adventure Park.

One of the group’s stalwarts, Sandra Eckert, saidclose to 50 per cent of the litter handed in to be sortedwas potentially recyclable.

‘‘That is a statistic dear to my heart,’’ she said.’’Clean-up organiser Janet Brown commented on

the many individuals and groups involved.‘‘Too many to mention everybody,’’ she said, ‘‘but

the Levin Community Probation people aloneaccounted for nearly half the total, and the LevinWalkers and Joggers group brought in 10 or so bagsthey’d picked up while out exercising.

‘‘Council managers and council’s contractor,Fulton Hogan, both co-operated with Keep LevinBeautiful before and on the day, so their efforts needto be recognised too.’’

Mrs Brown said the job was made easier by placingall recycling into their blue collection bags withoutfurther sorting.

‘‘This task is now done by a special machine at therecycling centre.’’

In addition to Levin, clean-ups were carried out inHokio Beach, Foxton and Shannon so the totalamount of unsightly litter and rubbish removed waseven greater than just Levin’s two tonnes.

Mr Rush said a number of youth groups andschools played a role too.

‘‘Several school classes made posters to raiseawareness for the week, and special thanks must alsogo to groups such as the Baptist Girls’ Brigade andthe Church of Latter Day Saints youth group inLevin, and the Te Awahou Cubs and Keas in Foxton,’’he said.

‘‘The Keep New Zealand Beautiful annual clean-upweek is probably the country’s largest communityevent, involving thousands of volunteers in citiesand towns around the country.

‘‘It’s great Horowhenua played its part. Next yearwe want to do even better at involving all areas of thedistrict.’’

Their appeal for help wasanswered by some local businesses

and interested residents, all ofwhom love and respect KukuBeach.

To achieve what they wantedfunding was essential, withHuhana Smith taking on the taskand getting the funding ball rolling.

Since then the project, beingoverseen by Donny Johns, hasprogressed rapidly with a new carpark area being developed,complete with bollard fencing todirect foot traffic to the nearbybeach area, with an additionalstrong fence to protect the newlyplanted native grasses and coastalplants, and a signage island thatwill welcome visitors and explainthe history of the area they areentering.

The driving force behind theproject is local katiakitanga(enviromental guardianship) andManaaki Taha Moana, an actionresearch project through TaiaoRaukawa Environmental ResourceUnit. Manaaki Taha Moana aims torestore valued coastal ecosystemsfor iwi and Hapu between Hokioand Waitohu streams.

The project is one of sixcurrently underway in the region.

Earlier this year, funding wassecured for the site preparation.After additional funding from theDepartment of Conservation from2014-2016, the project will focus ontransforming around two and halfhectares with native plants,grasses, reeds harakeke and trees.Plans for the entranceway includethe creation of a picnic area forfamilies and a toilet facility.

Forgotten victims of conflict

NO LIFE FOR A CHILD: Syrian children in Lebanese refugee campsmust work or starve. Worse, employers mistreat them, refuse topay them or sexually harass them.

By SARAHUSSEIN

Fifteen-year-old Haitham, aSyrian refugee in the Lebanesecapital, starts his day at 7am, butinstead of carting schoolbooks, hestocks supermarket shelves.

He is among thousands ofSyrian children who fled thecountry’s conflict and now mustwork to make ends meet.

Young boys shine shoes for afew dollars, while little girls begfrom passersby and sell chewinggum or roses.

There are no firm figures onthe number of Syrian childrenworking in Lebanon, but many tellstories of exploitation and abuse.

Haitham, a confident boy wholooks younger than his age, worksaround 10 hours a day but has nofixed salary. He survives off tipsthat shoppers give him to carrytheir bags.

In earshot of his boss, hedescribes his working life ashappy. But away from him, thecomplaints spill out.

‘‘Working here is terrible. Weare humiliated and insulted,’’ hesays.

‘‘The manager hits us, theother workers hit us . . . but whatcan we do? We have to accept it sowe can continue working.’’

Haitham arrived in Lebanonthree months ago, leaving behinda family desperate for money inSyria’s northeastern Hasakehprovince.

He lives with nine cousins in asingle room in a partly abandonedbuilding that is crammed withother refugee families.

His story is familiar to AbirAbi Khalil, a child protection

officer with Unicef.More than half of the Syrian

refugees registered in Lebanon arechildren — some 350,000 people.

There are an estimated 150,000additional unregistered childrenwho are refugees in Lebanon, all ofthem even more vulnerable thantheir parents.

‘‘In terms of impact on theirpsychological wellbeing, andsocial wellbeing, the effect isconsiderable,’’ says Khalil. ‘‘Theycan be severely, severelytraumatised.’’

Along with partnerorganisations, Unicef hascommissioned a study to work outhow many child refugees areworking in Lebanon and why, aswell as how best to help them.

‘‘Whatever the reason is, if youhave children under a certain age,they should not be involved inchild labour . . . and being in thestreets is one of the worst forms ofchild labour,’’ she says.

Children working on thestreets face physical and sexualabuse, and many are too afraid todiscuss their experiences withjournalists.

One of Unicef’s local partners,Mouvement Social, offers dailyclasses to Syrian refugee children,including those who are working.

At their centre in Beirut’simpoverished Burj Hammudneighbourhood, children learn‘‘life skills’’ such as hygiene butalso take remedial lessons thatcould pave their way back intoschool.

The simple building is adornedwith drawings including flowers.Each petal contains a children’sright.

‘‘I have the right to learn,’’reads one. ‘‘I have the right toplay,’’ reads another.

Inside one classroom, a teachercalls children up to the board topractise their Englishhandwriting.

‘‘I miss Syria,’’ one girl writes.The centre caters to around 600

children a week, both Lebaneseand Syrian refugees.

Rim, a 15-year-old in a layeredblack and green headscarf, comesfrom Syria’s northern Aleppoprovince. She spent three monthsworking in Beirut clothes shops,dealing with employers whorefused to pay her wages, or whosexually harassed her.

In one job, ‘‘the boss accusedme of being a thief, saying I hadstolen and he wouldn’t pay me.

‘‘The owner of another shopwould come to me and say, ‘I wantto marry you’,’’ she says,trembling.

She no longer works, coming tothe centre each day instead, whereteachers tread a fine line whentrying to convince families theirchildren should be learning, notworking.

‘‘We listen to the family andlisten to their needs. We want tofind a solution together,’’Mouvement Social directorFeyrouz Salameh says.

They explain the dangers thatchildren might face, though insome cases the children alreadyknow all too well.

‘‘We asked the children aboutthe dangers of the street and theysurprised us with their answer,saying, ‘Do you mean the street atnight, or the street during theday?’.

‘‘The children are aware ofwhat happens in the streets.’’

Haitham, like many otherchildren working in Lebanon,says he dreams of going back toschool.

‘‘I wish I could go to school, butto go to school you need to be free. . . so I have to forget about schoolfor now,’’ he says.

He isn’t sure what he wants tobe when he grows up, but he doeshave a goal.

‘‘My dream is that one daypeople will be working for me, thatI won’t be working for them, that Iwill be better than them, not beingtold all the time what to do.

‘‘I want to be my own master.’’— AFP

READY TO RUMBLE: Levin’s Craig Rolston will start the season in the former IanParfitt car.

‘You can be set up to go into a turn and all it takes is a little tap frombehind and at the speed you doing it can go pear shaped really

quickly.’ CRAIGROLSTON,DRIVER

Mates vital for dedicateddirt oval stockcar driverBy PETER FRANKLIN

Mates make the sport says CraigRolston, who is returning to PalmerstonNorth dirt oval after a year away fromthe sport.

To start the 2013-14 season, Rolstonhas purchased the former Ian Parfittstockcar while he rebuilds hissuperstock.

‘‘I was running out of time and justwanted to get out for the first meeting ofthe season. The car was for sale andready to go, so I bought it,’’ he said.

Since the word got out about himbuying the car, and being a bit of aHolden fan, he has been wound up bygood friend and fellow superstockdriver Gary Trotter, about it beingpowered by a Ford.

‘‘I knew he would say something,’’Rolston said with a smile.

Rolston came into stockcar racingafter a stint in drag racing, beingoffered a drive in a street stock he hadworked on.

‘‘I lined up at the back of the field formy first race, and won it. The speedwaybug got me and I’ve been involvedsince.’’ Rolston said during the earlydays he made a lot of friendsthroughout the country, which hecontinues to contact.

‘‘In this sport you have to havemates, you don’t have the time to workand run the car by yourself.’’

Sometimes he would be down in theworkshop until two in the morning, buthe would not be alone, there would be amate or two helping out.

Last year was a busy one for him, asowner-operator of CR Automotive inLevin and work came in from everydirection, he decided to put racingtemporarily on the back foot.

‘‘You have to earn the money ifyou’re going to race, it’s not a cheapsport, but it is a good one,’’ he said.

While CR Automotive will take onany job, from changing a set of tyres ona family car to servicing a loggingskidder, he has built a strongreputation as a racing engine builder.

‘‘It is all part of the business,’’ hesaid.

He said he would be looking atbuilding a new car for next year, but fornow he would get the season kicked offbehind the wheel of the stockcar andthen back behind the wheel of thesuperstock.

‘‘Superstocks are fantastic to drive,

they are powerful and quick,’’ he said.Rolston said the turns come up

quickly and drivers have to befocussed.

‘‘You can be set up to go into a turnand all it takes is a little tap frombehind and at the speed you are doing itcan go pear shaped really quickly.’’

He said for drivers and the fans the2013-14 season was going to be fantasticwith major meetings from Hawke’s Bayto Wanganui, Wellington and his hometrack Palmerston North.

‘‘There aren’t that many sleepsbefore it is all on,’’ he said.

Lots of enjoyment from gardening

WEEKENDWORK■ It can get quite hot at noon in many areas in October.Make sure greenhouses and cloches are ventilated.■ Pay particular attention to strawberries under cloches.Hot dry conditions favour red spider mite. Spray with waterand Neem tree oil, or Wally’s liquid sulphur , but nottogether.■ Don’t spray fruit trees in blossom, unless you are usingorganic sprays, to avoid harming honeybees, which providepollination services. Spray late in the day.■ Chrysanthemum cuttings may be planted out now.Prepare the bed for dahlia cuttings to go in at the end of themonth.■ Sowing out of doors of tender plants should be keptsmall. Then if the weather turns bad, not too many will belost.

WALLY RICHARDS

lvn040913garden

WELCOME SIGHT: For a keen gardener, there’s nothing like the sight of seedlings sprouting.

There are several times andevents which make gardening awonderful experience for me.

Likely there are differentaspects which differentgardeners relate to and enjoymore than others.

Things like the smell of cutgrass and the instant change afreshly-mowed lawn makes tothe rest of the gardens, or whenan especially beautiful flowerhas recently opened, making afeast for your eyes.

How about a meal withguests where your partner tellsthem all the vegetables they areeating come from your garden.You can proudly add that theyhave been grown without theuse of chemicals. Your visitorsare not only impressed but areastounded by the rich flavours.

Then there is the sight ofvibrant spring growth after ashower of rain.

I could name a lot, like thefirst ripe tomato of the season,or the first rose bud to open.

The one thing I find that topsall is the sprouting of seeds in aseedling tray. Tiny sprouts ofgreen emerging out of the mixand new baby plants are born.

During my time as anurseryman and gardener Ihave germinated literallymillions of seeds and still I getgreat pleasure seeing the littlesprouts popping up.

The biggest kick is togerminate a seed which isknown to be very difficult.

Some seeds need specialprocesses to enablegermination and without theright things happening theywill sit until they rot.

Some native Australian seedspecies will only germinateafter a bush fire.

I remember when in Perthsome years ago, the guidetaking us around Kings Parktold of an earlier event whensome vandals started a fire inthe park which burned outseveral acres of natural bushbefore it was extinguished.

There was a outcry about thesenseless damage until out ofthe ashes came a new selectionof native plants and a coupleconsidered extinct.

Packets of native Australianseeds sold to us tourists wereaccompanied with a small bagof ashes so they could be spreadwith the seeds to aidgermination.

Several seeds need specialtreatment to germinate such asstratification. This is a processof pre-treating seeds to simulatewinter conditions that a seedmust endure beforegermination.

Many seed species undergo

an embryonic dormancy phase,and generally will not sproutuntil the dormancy is broken.In nature, the seeds fall to theground in autumn and laydormant through the chillingwinter to break dormancy laterin spring when conditions isfavourable for growth.

We can duplicate thisprocess (stratify) by placingseeds in the fridge.

The time taken to stratifyseeds depends on species andconditions, though in manycases two months is sufficient.

Even if you have seeds thatdo not specifically requirestratification, it is worthwhilestoring all unused seeds in aglass jar in a fridge.

A freezer should not be usedunless the type of seed is nativeto an area where the groundfreezes in winter and the seedrequired temperatures downbelow zero.

Freezing of other seedswould likely kill the germ.

I find that seeds coming outof the fridge germinate quickerthan seeds stored at roomtemperature.

Seeds stored in the fridgewill tend to be viable for a muchlonger time than otherwise.

I have stored varieties oftomato seeds for more than25 years and still get abouta 50 per cent strike rate.

If you are germinatingseeds in seedling trays, orpunnets, then obtain a heatpad.

You should find one ineither garden shops, brewshops and pet shops. (Mycat has a excellent one but

will not let me have it forgerminating seeds)

Place a sheet of polystyreneabout 30mm thick under theheat pad so all heat is directedupward.

Sow your seeds on a friablepotting mix that has been sievedto obtain a fine texture ofgrains. Spray the seeds and mixwith Magic botanic liquid(MBL) at 20ml per litre to soakseeds and mix.

The liquid speeds up thegermination which can mean,in some cases, using the abovemethods, germination within afew days rather than weeks.

Keep a regular check on thetrays and keep moist.

I like to keep my heat pad inthe kitchen on a bench so I don’tforget to check and spray everymorning and again in theevening.

As soon as the first seedsgerminate and you have a show,the tray should be moved outinto a glasshouse or similarwhere they have naturaloverhead light.

If placed on a window sillthey will stretch and likely beuseless.

If you do not have a

glasshouse then get an olddrawer or box (like a drawerabout 12 to 18cm depth) put thegerminated trays in the box andplace a sheet of glass over thebox.

This should be placedoutside where it will get naturallight, but not strong directsunlight all day.

You need to keep an eye onthe seedlings and water to keepmoist but not wet.

Away from the heat pad, theywill not grow as fast but in aglasshouse they will fare betterthan in a drawer.

You may need to use a bit ofshade cloth above the seed traysso they get nice bright light but

not burning sun rays.Once they have reach the

true leave stage, or a bit bigger,they should be pricked outwhen the mix is wet and plantedinto either cells or smallcontainers to grow on forplanting out later when bigenough and conditions arefavourable.

Check your local gardencentre for seeds you wish togrow this season and getstarted.
