Ms Craig was presented with the ASGNeita and Cognition Trust Excellence inLeadership award by EducationMinister,the Honourable Hekia Parata, in theGrand Hall at Parliament lastWednesday.

The Australian Scholarships Group(ASG) runs the awards for leadership andteaching, in secondary, primary and earlychildhood education, every two years.

Ms Craig said it was an involvedprocess, requiring her to fill in an in-depth questionnaire.

You just didnt get the award, you hadto work for it, she said.

The application process was back inJanuary and Ms Craig said she hadforgotten about it until she was contactedtwo weeks before the awards ceremony.

I was surprised and excited. Therewere more than 4,000 nominations acrossthe country and only 24 teachers receivedawards so it was bit of an honour really.Ms Craig has been head teacher for thepast five years at the Childhood Centrethat caters for three and four-year-olds.

Its a great job and a great little placeto work. Leadership is really about thequality of relationships, working toimprove educational outcomes for all ourchildren and achieving future goalstogether.

Katrina Lawton, chairwoman of theTokomaru Early Childhood Centre man-agement team, nominated Ms Craig for

the award. Jane deserved to know howmuch the community valued her. She isan inspirational leader on many levels,effectively and efficiently leading theteaching staff to foster a well-balanced,

nurturing environment for the children,and a great early childhood teacher. I feltextremely privileged and proud to seeJane receive her Excellence in Leader-ship award.

Kids blamed for damageto community centre

LVN060614pjfhinimoa-houseUPSETTING: Mixed emotions for Hinemoa House community centre co-ordinator Perry Rackleyafter three children vandalised the building.

By PETER FRANKLIN

Brokenwindows and paintsplashed over theweatherboard buildinggreeted PerryRackley afterbeing called by neighbours tosayHinemoaHouse had beenvandalised.

Ive gotmixed emotionsabout it,MrRackley told theHorowhenuaChronicle.

He said a group hadestablished the communityhouse four years ago to be anasset for the south-east area ofLevin that, is largelypopulated by low incomefamilies in desperate need of aplace they could be proud of.

The group aimed to create acentrewhere the communitycould come together.

MrRackley said he feltbetrayed by the three youngpeople, aged 7 to 9 years, whoare alleged to be responsiblefor the damage.

MrRackley said the repairswould financially hurt theorganisationwhich runs thecommunity house.

On Saturday it is allegedthe three children dug bricksout of a pathway at the back ofthe building and thenwentabout throwing them throughwindows to the kitchen area, atoilet and storage room. If thatwas not bad enough, theyreturned onQueens BirthdayMonday and continued theirdestructive spree.

Fortunately neighboursand other children in the areatold authoritieswho theywere

all three are nowbeingspoken to by the Police youthaid section.

Im angry, disappointedthat this has happened.Everyone involvedwith

HinemoaHouse hasworkedhard for this community, andhas built up over time a lot ofrespectwith the locals.

MrRackley said one of thefamilies concernedwere

grateful when they received aweeks shopping donated bytheHinemoaHouse, and yetthey appear to have turned ablind eye towhat a son hadallegedly done.

New homefor bus stop

LVN060614bus-stop1

THELevin ShoppingMall busstop is on themove andwill belocated outside Te Takere onBath Street.

Themovewill be effectivefromTuesday July 1.HorowhenuaDistrict CouncilroadingmanagerKevin Peelsaid therewere severalreasons for themove, one ofthose being thatwithout busestravelling through the carparkit would improve safety forboth pedestrians and othermotorists.

Another reason is that thepavement surface of the LevinMall carpark is not designedfor heavy vehicles such asbuses and coaches.

Mr Peel said the bus stoparea pavement hadcontinually deteriorated overthe years andwas now in needof an overhaul.

Making remedial repairs tothe pavement to bring it up to areasonable standard,including paving the busentrancewith reinforced

concrete suitable for heavyvehicles, would come at asignificant cost plus ongoingmaintenance costs.

Mr Peel said that the optionto relocate the bus stop to theBath Street location ispreferable fromboth a safetyandmaintenance perspective.

He said the costwasminimal and therewould belittle disruption to the

community, as thework hadbeen incorporated into theproject to refurbishBathStreet outside Te Takere andNewWorld.

It is also hoped that havingthe bus stop outside Te Takerewill help enhance the image ofLevin to visitors, and thatthose getting on or off the buswill havemore convenientaccess to theVisitor

InformationCentre inside TeTakere.

Mr Peel said therewaspotential for the areawherethe current bus stopwas to beupgraded to better servicecarpark users, includingimproving the ChamberlainStreet entrance. Any futureredevelopment of the carparkwill be investigated at a latertime.

MONEY MATTERS

Where to lookfor investing?With sales volumesincreasinginternationalshares are comingoff a bit of a lowfrom earlier thisyear. It is a bitconcerning thatprofit margins areat historically highlevels; however, weare confident thatqualitymulti-national companieswithstrong balance sheets are able to keepproducing returns even as costs rise.

Low expected returns on bondswillcontinue to encourage investment ininternational sharemarkets thus boostingprices.

High dairy prices and constructionactivity in Christchurchwill continue toboost the New Zealand economy. Interestrate increases are not expected to dentcompany earnings toomuch.

We are increasing investment inAustralia on the basis that the time toinvest is when an economy is at a low andis expected to improve. Low interest ratesand a lower currency are supporting theAustralian economy and resource shareslikeminingwill benefit from a stableoutlook for growth in China.

New Zealand commercial property islooking good as the outlook for rentalgrowth is gradually improving and thehigh yieldsmake the sector attractive. Weprefer Australian real estate investmenttrusts compared to NZ and globalproperty.

We are unenthusiastic about NewZealand Government and corporate bondspreferring to holdmore in cash and shortterm deposits until New Zealand fixedinterest improves.

The New Zealand dollar remainsovervalued againstmajor currencies. Weare taking advantage of this byrecommending clients invest overseaswhile our dollar remains high.

Vegetable growers get to showcase industry

LVN040614pjfhorticultureJOHNClarke ofWoodhavenGardens about to join a tour of his Levinmarket gardenwith staff from theMinistry of Primary Industries, regional and district council staff and councillors. Mr Clarke said the tourwas about understanding the horticultural industry and the issues affecting it. PHOTO:PETER FRANKLIN

By TANYAWOOD

Horowhenua vegetable growerswere in the spotlight last week.

Government and councilstaff donned gumboots for atour of some of the districtsmarket gardens to learnmoreabout an industry often takenfor granted and about one of thebiggest earthworks projectsseen in the horticultureindustry taking place in thedistrict.

Chris Keenan, fromHorticulture New Zealand, saidthe day was intended tohighlight the strategicimportance of the localvegetable production to thedomestic food supply system,and the industrys commitmentto the Lake HorowhenuaAccord.

Staff from theMinistry ofPrimary Industries, includingOtaki MPNathan Guy,Horizons Regional Council andHorowhenua District Councilstaff and councillors wereshown a seed and propagationenterprise in Otaki and some ofthe larger scale and smallerfamily businesses in Ohau andLevin to demonstrate thediversity of crops and economiccircumstances within theregion.

Mr Keenan said horticulturewas a huge economic driver forthe Horizons region and oftentaken for granted. Commercialvegetable growers account forjust 0.02 per cent of agriculturaluse, largely focused inHorowhenua and Ohakune, butcontribute about $100 millionper year of regional GrossDomestic Product.

There are around 170

growers in the regionemployingmore than 1000people andMr Keenan said itwas estimated that 95 per cent ofthose wages were spent locally.Woodhaven Gardens andKapiti Green, two of themoresignificant gardeningoperations in Horowhenua,employmore than 170 people in

total, mostly on a fulltime basis,and turnover from just thesetwo businesses alone is acombined $18 million to $20million per year.

Mr Keenan said the twinpressures for growers inHorowhenua wereenvironmental and sub-divisions.

If growers could get moreland to grow on they would, hesaid. Horowhenua has one ofthe highest concentration ofClass 1 and 2 soils, meaning thearea is flat with free-draining,very fertile soil.

He said there was potentialto co-ordinate a largehorticultural area from

Ohakune to Kapiti workingtogether as a food hub, as wellas looking at exportopportunities.

For example, we could useOhakea Air Base as a freighthub to Asia.

While the day was verymuchabout sheddingmore light onthe industry, Mr Keenan said itwas equally important toupdate people on the industryscommitment to the lake accord.

We acknowledgehorticulture is a contributingfactor to the lakes poor waterquality. We are working on twocodes of practice to managenutrient and soil loss fromfarms, to be in place by 2015, andhave committed about $120,000to realign the drainagenetworks in the Arawhatacatchment area, betweenKimberley Rd and Hokio BeachRd to the lake.

The work will also includere-contouring fields to allowbetter drainage and preventionof sediment and phosphorousrun-off into the lake.

Its one of the biggestearthworks projects seen in thehorticulture industry and itstaking place now, Mr Keenansaid.

The drainage system hasbeenmapped and contouringequipment is about to bepurchased for mapping all thefields and paddocks. Theproject, expected to becompleted this year, is beingfunded by the growers, withcontributions from otherorganisations includingHorizons Regional Council, andadditional funding of $540,000from the Government tokickstart the lake clean up.

Since October last yearrst home buyershave been hit hard bynew mortgage lendingrestrictions and many havewalked away from theproperty market altogether.But real estate experts areurging buyers not to giveup, with numerous optionsstill available to helpstruggling house huntersscrape together a deposit.

Discouraged anddisheartened rst homebuyers have largely dropped

out of the property market,scared off by the ReserveBanks controversialmortgage lendingrestrictions and risinginterest rates.

April property sales dropped20 per cent on last year,and real estate agents reportrst home buyers are aneven ``scarcer commoditynow than when the lendingrestrictions kicked in lastOctober, according to RealEstate Institute president,Helen OSullivan.

Provincial real estate agents haverepeatedly argued the restrictionsshould not apply to smallercentres where house prices arerising incrementally, unlike theoverheated Christchurch andAuckland markets which haveexperienced rapid gains.

Under the restrictions, bankshave to comply with a 10 percent cap for all new lending tothose with a deposit of less than20 per cent of a homes value.

However banks everywhereare treading cautiously, and byFebruary only 5.2 per cent ofbank loans were made to low-equity borrowers, with bankscharging higher interest ratesand extra premiums in an addedsting to the wallet.

It has almost wiped out the rsthome buyer sector of the market,which sat at almost 30 percent of bank lending before therestrictions, Ms OSullivansays.

Those stung hardest by therestrictions are middle New Zealand,or workers earning an hourly rate withlittle prospect of a signicant pay rise,says Loan Market mortgage broker,Bruce Patten. Those are the real hardluck stories, theyre the ones you feelfor most.

And though for many, the situationmakes for grim reading, Mr Pattenurges rst home buyers not to giveup.

Not only are there plenty of optionsto get around the restrictions, suchas using KiwiSaver funds towards adeposit. But the limits will eventuallybe relaxed or lifted completely,meaning those buyers who miss outnow should remain focused and keepon saving for their rst home.

Wolves look forward to home game

LVN060614splwolves

WOLVESNo 16 CalebOka-Murray (red and black) gets ready to start another run of play.

By PETER FRANKLIN

LevinWolves are hungry formore home games to show thelocal fans that they have thebite to dowell in thePalmerstonNorth rugbyleague competition.

For the second time thisseason theWolveswill play athome, the under 15swill playFoxton at Playford Park.

Manager of the under 15squad JimGunning said thegamewas aweek away, nextFriday, and the playerswereeager to perform in front of ahome crowd, kickoff is at 6pm.

Gunning said playing in thePalmerstonNorth competitionwas good, and the boys got a lotof experience but the lack ofhome gameswas frustratingfor the club and young players.

However, both the under 17and 15s are doingwell.

Gunning said a lot of theplayerswere still involvedwith rugby union clubs in theSaturday competition andplayed league onFridaynights, so fitnesswas on theirside.

Wewere lucky that lastweekend both theWolves

under 17s and StGeorge(Wellington) under 17s hadbyes and a friendly gamewasorganised in Levin, he said.

TheWolves lost 40-22 but

Gunning said the good thingwas that the boys played infront of a home teamand itwasa very entertainingmatch towatch.

Tonight theWolves under15 take onTainui, and theunder 17s played a combinedFoxton-Wanganui side inPalmerstonNorth.

Heartlands coach optimisticBy PETER FRANKLIN

Impressedwith the club season to date,Horowhenua- Kapiti Heartlands rugbycoach Jared Tanira believes the region isin good stead to put a good challengetogether.

Tanira said the pre-season loss toWairarapa, 55-14, showed some areaswhere they needed to improve.

Lets be clear, Heartlands is awholenew ball game, it really is a big step up inendurance, he said.

The club season has provided someinteresting results, with players eyeingplaces in the representative squad.

Tanira said hewould be looking atretaining a lot of experienced players forthe coming season but that did not ruleout anyonewhowas showingparticularly good form.

Im looking forward to the season, Ithinkwe can dowell.Wairarapawas in

the top four last season so our gameagainst them gaveme a good indicationwherewe are at andwhatwe need to do,he said.

TheHeartland season starts onAugust 23, with a home game. Tanira ishoping to see a big home crowd to get theseason off to a good start.

Think different?Are you the type of person who has a different way of looking at things? Do yousee opportunity when others see problems? Have you got the ability and ambition

to succeed but just need the opportunity?

We want to talk to you!At Property Brokers we think a bit differently. Always have. We are positive andenthusiastic and spend too much time succeeding to worry about the problemsothers seem to focus on. Our people come from a variety of backgrounds. Somehave degrees, some dont. Some are 25 some are 65. Weve got butchers and

bakers and candlestick makers, (we havent actually got a candlestick maker) butthe one common trait we can nd in all our people is an above average desire tosucceed. An ambition to be better than average; to make a better income, providea better service, to have a better quality of life that drives them to be part of the

one the most exciting and dynamic organisations in New Zealand.

We are recruiting now for our Levin ofce so if you believe you have thepersonality we have the training, the support and the environment that can turn

ambition into success.
