Chance to gain skillsByPETERFRANKLIN

One of the biggest hurdlesfacing Horowhenuaemployers is the lack ofskilled labour.

This issue was highlightedby the Horowhenua EconomicDevelopment Board duringtheir recent strategy planningsessions.

Addressing the problem isone of the key elements to thedistrict’s growth strategy,identifying trainingopportunities and makingthem work for bothunemployed young people andthe community at large.

Ten young people fromHorowhenua are hoping togain valuable workexperience after beingselected for a Youth SkillsInitiative developed by Workand Income New Zealand andFocus Labour Solutions.

The group, who headed offto Blenheim this week, willspend four months learningabout the viticulture industrythat could to lead to apermanent job inHorowhenua.

The scheme has thebacking of HorowhenuaMayor Brendan Duffy andMarlborough Mayor AlastairSowman, both passionateabout initiatives that aim tosee their young peoplesucceed. “It will be great to see

these young people return toHorowhenua and bring theirskills back to work in ourlocal seasonal areas,” MrDuffy said.

Work and Income’s CentralRegional CommissionerPenny Rounthwaite saidsustainable employment inthe viticulture industry couldbe very challenging for youngpeople.

“Lack of transport,accommodation andbudgeting issues are bigchallenges and it takes timeand training to develop skills

required to earn at higherlevels of income. Thisinitiative is great because itprovides a total supportpackage, life skills and workskills,” she said.

Craig Mill, of Focus LabourSolutions, is excited about thechance to support youngpeople from his home regionof Horowhenua.

TALK TOME ABOUTINCREASINGINCOME FROMINVESTMENT

Low Term Deposit RatesThere are two reasons why interest rates are low for term deposit investorsand why they are likely to remain low.

Firstly, one of the drivers of rates is the Official Cash Rate (“OCR”) which isset and reviewed by the Reserve Bank. Last week The Reserve Bank keptthe OCR at 3.5% and said it would remain on hold for an unspecified periodof “assessment”. This is because they feel inflation will remain low. Someeconomists are saying the OCR will not increase till 2016 if at all.

The second reason is that the banks were offering higher rates while theybuilt up locally sourced funds to meet their regulatory obligations. They havedone this now and therefore are not seeking deposits quite as aggressively.

Term deposit rates could even decrease. This means those depending on term deposits for incomeare in for a lean time as term deposit rates are likely to remain low for the foreseeable future.

What can you do? You could draw the income and also eat into your funds but there are alternativesto term deposits that offer greater liquidity, can offer better returns, and are more diversified. Andthey can provide you a regular income. However there may be increased risk so give me a call totalk about your options.

Abuse reportingWhen New Zealand signed up for theUnited Nations Convention onParamountcy of the Child we stood apartfrom the clause that required mandatoryreporting of suspected child abuse.

The UN Convention clearly reasonedthat, if the safety of children was theparamount concern, then it followed thatmandatory reporting was essential to theplan for child protection. The logistical andprofessional concerns that led to NewZealand deleting the mandatory reportingclause are adult concerns and are capable ofresolution by the professionals concerned;whereas infants, having no self-determination, rely entirely on adults forcare and protection. If the safety of childrenis held to be paramount then mandatoryreporting is essential to the process.

Eminent child psychologist, the late DrDorothea Wraith, worked with the victimsof child abuse and from her vast experienceshe argued for re-introduction of theDistrict Nurse concept, where nurses withlife experience would have right of access tocheck vulnerable children and could alsooffer parenting advice. Dr Wraith alsoclaimed that the welfare agencies had failedin their responsibilities and that childprotection should transfer to the healthauthority. Given the ideological and mis-guided approach by CYFS — placingfamily/kinship and cultural concernsahead of infant/child welfare — then DrWraith’s proposals need to be seriously re-cendisdered.

JOHN BRADLEYTrustee (Wraith Trust), Foxton

Bridge viewsIt would appear that we are to get anopportunity to share our views on theproposed upgrading or replacement of theWhirokino Trestle and Manawatu RiverBridge just south of Foxton.

Hopefully many will express theiropinion and the NZTA will actually listenand pay attention to the comments of thelocal population.

It is also hoped that there will bemeaningful cooperation between the NZTA,HDC and Horizons Regional Councilbecause here is a wonderful opportunity tosolve two problems at the same time.

For forty odd years the good folk ofFoxton have been trying to get the FoxtonLoop re-opened and various governmentofficials and departments appear to havepaid lip service to the fact that somethingneeds to be done.

Now we have an ideal opportunity: thenew bridge is going to need many cubicmetres of fill to build the ramps up to thebridge.

What better place, from where to get thisfill, is the adjacent land [owned by Hori-zons] where the requested canal needs to beput, thereby opening the Foxton Loop?

With this simple common sense solu-tion, the canal can be excavated and the fillfrom the canal needs only to be carted a fewmeters to the ramp and the NZTA do notneed to truck in many loads of fill fromother areas.

Could this be a win-win situation?JOHN GIRLING

Foxton

Jobs debateEmployers are a sensitive lot, aren't they?So Nick Gibson of BananalamaLandscaping Ltd sees the comments I havemade as an “attack” rather than a contri-bution.

I think his vitriolic response to mycontribution to the debate is doing rathermore to prove my concerns about theemployment strategy being developedrather than dispel them.

In fact, I've been waiting for the callsaying I clearly have a lot to offer and wouldI like a job helping to develop the strategy.

Not surprisingly it hasn't come becausea tunnel vision approach is preferred. Idon't think there is anything negative oruntoward in making the statement that asuccessful employment

strategy needs to take more than theconsiderations of employers into account.

For example, I am sure their would bemany mothers who would like part-timework but how many employers are able tothink out of the box in terms of providingthese opportunities? What about Maorieconomic development? Less of the tra-ditional employment approach and more ofthe innovative is what's required in the 21stCentury but, judging by Mr Gibson'sresponse, hell is more likely to freeze overfirst.

People want a future not just a job andunless an employment strategy addressesthis fundamental fact then the district willnot grow.

NEWS IN BRIEF

Cancer awareness monthNovember is Lung Cancer Awarenessmonth. Lung Cancer is the greatestcause of cancer death in New Zealand.There is a stigma attached to lungcancer being caused by smoking but 20per cent of women who get lung cancerhave never smoked. MidCentral regionis developing a Map of Medicine HighSuspicion of Lung Cancer pathway forreferral from GP to hospital and todevelop a public awareness campaignfocusing on seeking help for symptomsat an earlier stage. Lung cancer causesno symptoms 25 per cent of the time, ifyou are over 50 years old with a historyof smoking you are more at risk soshould have a check even withoutsymptoms.

Protecting young womenIn the wake of the police decision not toprosecute those implicated in theRoastbusters investigation, the MentalHealth Foundation (MHF) believes nowis the time for all New Zealanders toconsider how we can best protect thewellbeing of our young women.According to Rape Prevention EducationNew Zealand, in New Zealand up to onein three girls will be subject to anunwanted sexual experience by the ageof 16. People who experience sexualviolence will often experiencedepression, anxiety, and post-traumaticstress disorder. The MHF supportsinitiatives to educate young peopleabout the issue of consent. With 90 percent of sexual violence committed bysomeone known to the survivor, youngpeople must be educated aboutrespectful and safe sexual relationships.

Volunteer servicescommunity’s mainstayBy PETER FRANKLIN

Respect for volunteer St John andfirefighters has always been high fromFoxton businessman Kevin Gunther,but his feelings for those whounselfishly dedicate their time to thecommunity has taken a giant leaprecently.

Mr Gunther’s mother had a massiveheart attack while collecting her maillast week.

A neighbour saw her fall, rang 111and went to her aid, applying CPR untilemergency services arrived.

Volunteer firefighters andambulance staff worked tirelessly for 20minutes, trying to resuscitate MrsGunther, unfortunately their efforts

were not successful.“I was just blown away at the huge

effort that they all (the neighbour, StJohn, fire service and police) made tosave her,” Mr Gunther said. “It is onlywhen you have a personal tragedy thatyou actually realise just how dedicatedthese people are.”

He said small towns like Foxtonwould be in deep trouble withoutvolunteer groups and neighbours whocare. “It really would be a sad day if wedid not have them.”

Mr Gunther is urging the communityto support volunteers emergencyservices in anyway they can.

“As far as I’m concerned these peopleare the backbone of our community andthey have my sincere thanks,” he said.

Detective workleads to arrestwith GRAEME JARVISCommunity Constable

Police officers derive agreat deal of satisfactionfrom an enquiry that endsin the arrest of a suspect.

One such enquiry lastweek produced thissatisfactory result.

Some readers will beaware that I made severalappeals over the wintermonths to householders inthe north western cornerof town to be vigilant, asthere appeared to be aperson, or persons,committing burglaries inthe area on a regular basis.

Detectives working onthe case had a primesuspect and had beenworking for many monthsputting together theevidence required to catchthe offender. Finally, onFriday afternoon,detectives executed asearch warrant at a localaddress and arrested a45-year-old Levin man.

A search of the suspect'shome revealed a largecache of property, believedto have been stolen fromhomes close to where helived, including a largescreen television andhousehold electrical itemssuch as computers, foodand confectionary.

The man appeared incourt on Friday chargedwith three offences andwas remanded in custodyto appear in the LevinDistrict Court this week.Police are opposing bail asmore charges are likely.

Police staff will nowhave many days of workahead of them to findowners for all the items.Anyone who has been thevictim of a burglary in thearea will be contacted bypolice staff in due course.

While the allegedoffender may be incustody, please don'tbecome complacent withhome security. Thisalleged offender is just oneof many people out there,many of whom areopportunists, likely to takeadvantage of lax securityaround the home, such as awindow left open orunlocked. A simple andeasy precaution is to keepall doors and windows,including garages andsheds, locked.

Remember to also lockaway children's toys,bicycles and scooters, andany loose gardenimplements that could beused by offenders to gainentry into your home.

Time for cleanupAnnette Haley is proud of her garden andspends many happy hours keeping it lookingnice. She is also a keen member of Keep LevinBeautiful, which is urging people, not only inLevin but throughout the district, to helpmake the area look its best.

During the week the group has beenpromoting ‘pride in your community’, askingpeople to have a tidy-up around their owngarden and frontage, and offer to helpneighbours with their cleanup.

Ms Haley is a firm believer that if thestreets look good it has a flow-on effect. “Itshows people we have pride in where welive,” she said.

It does not have to take long to do acleanup, she said. “The best part is, a cleanand proud town generally has happy peopleand that is a good thing.”

Our Year 11 to 13 students areabout to embark on their NCEAexams. What a student has learntover a year of study in a subject istested in a three-hour exam. Theresult they get is an indication ofwhat they have learnt as well as areflection of the attitude they haveshown towards learning.

All students are looking forsuccess – to be successful in theirlearning and to gain aqualification. When you look atstudents who are successful, theyhave one thing in common – theywork hard. This is a choice theyhave made, they have chosen towork hard because they know

there is noeasy road tosuccess.

Awillingnessto workhard willset astudent up

to succeed, and when a studentsucceeds in one aspect of theirlives it often flows over into otherthings they do.

Recently the ManawatuSecondary School Sports Awardsrecognised the top sportingachievements of secondarystudents from our region.

This was a finals evening,meaning students had to reach acertain level of sporting

achievement to be included in theevent.

It was a great pleasure to watchour students from HorowhenuaCollege take the stage and for theaudience to hear of their sportingachievements.

Garden trail to take students a long way

LVN071114twgardentrail

WAIOPEHU College students, from left, Jared Brown, Leah Praat and Tessa Paulin are hoping their garden trail fundraiser thismonth will boost funds for their Japanese exchange trip next year.

By TANYAWOOD

A garden trail fundraiser to help a class ofWaiopehu College students travel to theLand of the Rising Sun is attractinginterest from people from as far asTaranaki and Wellington.

Nine Horowhenua properties will opentheir gates for the ‘Glimpse Beyond theGate – Garden Meander’ to help 13Japanese language students raise anestimated $58,500 in total, for a 19-dayexchange visit to Japan in March nextyear.

The Year 10 students have been busypromoting the November 23 event, withposters, flyers and emails to garden clubsand other organisations in and outside thedistrict.

The students will be collecting ticketsat the gates and helping serverefreshments at two of the properties.

Student Leah Praat has visited all ninegardens with mum Gaelene, a teacher atthe college and the main driver behind thefundraiser. “The gardens are reallybeautiful,” said Leah. “I’ve seen somereally cool ideas that I would never havethought of being in a garden.”

Mrs Praat said it wasn’t easy selectingthe final nine properties.

“There were so many people offeringand so many amazing gardens to choosefrom,” she said. “We have very generoushosts who are keen to share their love ofgardening and support our students to getto Japan.”

Levin Garden Club members helpedMrs Praat whittle down the selection,ensuring a wide variety of gardeningstyles and innovation, including smallurban and large rural gardens, nativebush, formal and cottage styles, and a self-sustaining organic garden.

Three of the properties have neverbeen part of a tour before.

Pauline Leary is opening up her smallurban garden in Levin and hoping it willinspire anyone looking to downsize.

“You don’t need a huge space. I have a

garden that I love looking at, is full ofcolour, and also functional where I cangrow a few veges and have barbecues.”

It was another action-packed night forspeedway fans on Saturday night.

Not only were there fireworks in thesky, there was plenty of fireworks on thetrack to keep fans entertained.

The Robertson Holden InternationalSpeedway saw another night of hardoutracing in all classes. A total of 19superstocks, including three fromWellington, took to the track for theopening heat.

Local 4p Chad Ace won the openingrace, but it was 126p Asher Rees who drovehis heart out to get a crowd-thrillingsecond place from grid 14, followed by 88pJack Miers, 58p Peter Bengston and 10pPeter Rees.

In the second heat, Ace suffered a flattyre, dropping him out of the points race.The race was on now, in the third and finalheat, between Asher Rees, on 36 points,Jack Miers and Peter Rees, on 34 pointseach, and Bengston clear ahead of the packon 32 points.

It was a cracker of final with 36p JamesMallia riding the wall on the opening lapand collecting a couple of cars as he gotback on to the track. Scott Miers, 8p, triedto turn the balance in Jack Miers’ favourby pushing Rees to the infield, but theyoungster quickly got back into the action.Peter Rees got tangled up with Scott a fewlaps later, causing them both to spin,which took Rees out of the title chase.

An epic battle developed between AsherRees and Jack Miers for second place,while 67p Richard Hart took an impressivewin.

A trip on to the grass cost Asher Rees asthe referee relegated him back two spotsfor failing to yield while forced on to thegrass, resulting in a shared first place withJack Miers on 52 points, with Bengston notfar behind in third on 49 points.

In the stockcars, Asher Rees, 126p, tookout the opening race, with dad 11p PeterRees winning the next two. The feature

was hard fought, with Peter Reesgradually finding a way past JoshPrentice in the 52p tank to take the topspot.

As usual the minisprint produced agood show for the crowd with 93p KarlMcGill putting up a spirited challengeagainst Jamie Larsen in the 2NZmachine who went on to take thechequered flag.

A great night’s racing was capped offwith a brilliant fireworks displaylighting the skies.
