Waitangi is a day to celebrate andthat’s just what a large crowd didat Lake Horowhenua last week.

Cr Victoria Kaye-Simmonswalked around meeting andtalking to people and said thefeedback she was getting, even

early in the day, was all positive.‘‘This is awesome and so good

to see so many people arriving toenjoy the day together,’’ she said.

The lakeside party kicked off at10am, with a lineup ofentertainment planned for thewhole day.

A bouncy castle and mini jeepsentertained the little ones as mumand dad sat back under sunumbrellas or in one of themarquees ravelling in theproceedings.

‘‘This (Muaupoko Park) is idealfor this type of event and manyothers,’’ he said.

Mr Sword believed 2014 isgoing to be a year of real progress

YOUR VIEWS

NZ flag debateOnce again the subject of apossible New Zealand flagreplacement is beinghighlighted in the print mediawith sample flag designsvarying considerably from thecurrent flag.

Although the Union Jack isthe national flag of the UnitedKingdom of Great Britain andNorthern Ireland, the constitu-ent countries, namely England,Wales, Scotland and NorthernIreland all have their own speci-fic national flags! Witness aninternational rugby union testbetween Scotland and Englandor Wales and the All Blacks, therespective countries flags areusually flown alongside theUnion Jack. During the 2014Commonwealth Games inGlasgow, the flags of all compet-ing Commonwealth countrieswill be on view includingScotland’s St Andrew’s Cross,and the St George’s Cross ofEngland. Only at internationalsporting events, such as theOlympic Games, the four con-stituent countries of GreatBritain and Northern Irelandare from one team under theUnion Jack.

If New Zealand is to bepromoted as a South Pacificnation as well as a nation withconsiderable trade links withAsia, a new flag which reflectsthe location of New Zealand inthe South Pacific and a substan-tial distance away from the UKwould be desirable and practic-able!

Currently as few as fourcountries worldwide have theUnion Jack in their nationalflags — Australia, Fiji, Tuvaluand New Zealand whilecountries such as Canada,Kenya, Uganda, Zimbabwe, SriLanka and India have flagswhich reflect major features ofthe country.

A referendum on a flagchange is certainly a positivesuggestion at such a early stageof the 2014 general election year.

1080 useJoan Leckie says the Com-missioner for the Environmentand the Environmental Protec-tion Agency have thoroughlyassessed the science of 1080 useand found it to be the onlyeffective means to controlpredators.

In the report of the com-missioner there are studiesciting some success with 1080but there is not a lot of attentiongiven to other methods of con-trol to justify Leckie’s state-ment. One paper cited in thereport as evidence for 1080 usewas criticised by two other

scientists as having significantand deceptive misuse of statisti-cal analysis.

The bigger picture of therole of human beings onenvironmental degradation isnot discussed nor the politicsand economics of the industrycreated around trying to dealwith pests. Opposing viewsabout the use of 1080 such as DrWhiting Keefe’s are also notdiscussed.

The issue of animal suffer-ing is in the main passed overas of subjective concern as ifthe Commissioner’s views areall based on highly objectiveevidence, which they are not.Leckie and others supportingthe use of 1080 do not seem to beaware that science can onlyhelp us determine what a cer-tain situation is and the causeof it but not what we should doin any situation. This comesunder the subject matter ofethics. Science can also be seento often be governed byparadigms or trends ratherthan by facts. I conclude thatgiven there are other alterna-tives for dealing with the prob-lem of pests there is not enoughjustification for the use of 1080which causes huge suffering inanimals and seeminglyinsensitivity in humanstowards animal suffering.

REV DR GRAHAM BULLLevin

Mast EventsWell, Joan Leckie is a sight forsore eyes. I have been lookingfor the next Forest & Bird (F&B)person to counter.

Mast Events happen every3-7 years and not every 14-15years (15 is the number NickSmith plucked out of the skyand actually relates to the SouthIsland Beech according to NickSmith). F&B has supported theidea that 1080 poison will bedropped, in the Tararua ForestPark, every three years regard-less of a Mast Event or not.

Sorry Joan, you missed outon this year’s ‘‘Mast Event?’’ asyour organisation hasdemanded that your allocationof 1080 poison was spent lastyear. So much for the NativeSnail, that also dies from eating1080 poison as well as frompredation. The poor old snailgets a double dose . . . Last yearfrom 1080 poison and this yearfrom rats . . . Oh well, you can’twin them all.

Or, are you expecting thatF&B can order a second aerial1080 poison drop, for a secondyear in a row, even though F&Bhas used up its fair quota of 1080poison for the Tararua ForestPark?

I noted, with an obviouschuckle, how you have yetagain changed the name of

1080 poison to something thatyou might put on cornflakes toencourage kids to eat them, oryour chips as Kevin Hackwellhas been quoted as saying.

MARTIN FOOTEOtaki

LawchangeOnce again we hear demandsfor a law change for the thou-sands because of the few. I referto, ‘‘Push for fireworks ban.’’

Why do we want to restrictthe many because of the few?We have an 80kmh limit alongCentennial Highway because afew drivers choose to look at theview rather than the road. A60kmh on Grays RdPauahatanui because a few foolsdrive into the sea and aproposed 80kmh on theRimutuka Hill because a fewmotorcyclists overestimatetheir riding ability. Police will,of course, pepper the area withcovert speed cameras.

Now we have a call to banfireworks because a fewhalfwits misuse them. TheHorowhenua Kennel Associa-tion would do better puttingtheir weight behind a drive tomake the judiciary take animalcruelty seriously. I challengePeter Sharp to compare thenumber of animals so treatedwith the number of animalswho suffer a long and lingeringdeath at the hands of irrespon-sible farmers. Again, let off witha very gentle slap on the wrist.

My message is, ‘don’t punishthe many but clamp down hardon the few.’

Fertiliser queryI refer to Wally Richards’ Dig-ging in article in the January 29Chronicle. I often read Wally’sarticles on home gardening tipsbut I must question his recentcomments on fertilisers.

Wally gives an example of100kg of fertiliser with an N-P-Kratio of 5-7-4. These figuresactually refer to the percentageof the elements nitrogen, phos-phorous and potassium, not thepercentage of nitrate, phosphateor potash.

For example, potash is 50 percent K so to achieve 4 kg of K inthe 5-7-4 fertiliser quoted byWally, the weight of potash isactually 8kg, not 4kg. Wally thengoes on to criticise the use ofsuperphosphate and says that itharms the soil life. Most soils inthe country are deficient inphosphorous. Agriculture in NZdepends on fertilisers particu-larly superphosphate. A fewyears ago, a Ravensdown scien-tist calculated that if fertilisershad not been applied to farmsover many years, production

would only be a fraction of whatit is today.

In the PGG Wrightson Feb-ruary 2014 edition of RuralDiary, there is a table onsuperphosphate use at theBallantrae Research Station inthe Wairarapa. There is a com-parison between production onplots with no fertiliser applied,125kg super per ha and 375kgper ha. Of relevance here is thatfor the no-fertiliser plots therewere 1100kg of worms per ha,1700kg of worms for the 125kg ofsuper plots, and 3700kg ofworms in the 375kg super plots.Obviously, the gardener’s bestfriend, the earthworm, lovessuper. Of course, it is the greaterorganic matter grown throughsuper applied to the soil whichencourages earthworms.

Wally should see the marketgardens near me in NorthManakau Rd. You won’t findany unhealthy or sickly plantsdespite repeated applications offertilisers. How they grow largelettuces in the middle of winteris amazing.

Wally then takes on themantle of a health quack, advis-ing that fertilisers and chemi-cals in the food train will resultin the body being supplied withpoisons, and people may start todevelop health complaints suchas cancer, diabetes, Parkinson’s,heart disease etc. Wally has noscientific justification for hisclaims. Some elderly peoplecould be unduly worried. TheEditor should have struck it out.

Stick to giving gardeningtips, Wally, something that youare an expert on.

Cat dumpingI guess it was too good to be truehaving a few cat-free months.Thank you to the gutless so andso’s who are once moredumping cats and tiny kittens atthe golf course.

What have these animalsdone to deserve this treatment?Are you too gutless to front up atthe SPCA? Once again mygreyhound has found threeyoungsters on our property anddispensed with them. Thismorning’s one put up a fight andmy dog now has a badly injuredleg. Are you going to foot the vetbill? I think not, cowards!

There was a very tiny littleblack one sighted this morningon the golf course. It looks like itshould still be with its mother.

It’s time the council andSPCA got together to come upwith a plan to stop thishappening. Sometimes I wonderwhat I pay my rates for. I findthese happenings very distress-ing.

CHRISTMAS has gone, butthere’s another one aroundthe corner and will you beready for it? Levin BudgetService co-ordinator andadviser Donna Monk can helpyou prepare — or pay off if lastChristmas broke the bank.

PHOTO: FRANKIE WEBB

It’s never too late, or early, toprepare for Christmas. That’sthe advice from Levin BudgetService co-ordinator and adviserDonna Monk. ‘‘Having moneyfor annual events like Christmasshouldn’t be an emergency,’’Donna said. ‘‘Prepare for whatyou know is coming.’’ Februaryis traditionally a busy time ofyear for the Budget Service.‘‘You have the fallout from over-spending at Christmas, then thestart of the school year,’’ shesaid. ‘‘Entertaining kids over theschool holidays tops it off.’’Advice for having a wonderful2014 Christmas is prepare,prepare, prepare. ‘‘Join a localChristmas club,’’ Donna advises.‘‘Local supermarkets can acceptas little or as much as you canafford. If you can put $5 a weekaway, that’s $260 to spend atChristmas.’’ While the Servicedoesn’t discourage mail ordercompanies such as Chrisco, itbelieves there are moreadvantages supporting localbusiness. ‘‘Club members havediscounted shopping nightsgetting close to Christmas. Youcan choose exactly what youwant to buy. There’s no setpackage deals and, of course, itputs money back into your owncommunity,’’ she said.Overpaying your electricity billin summer by a few dollars eachmonth helps keep winterpayments down. Pay a fewdollars when you can to your vetor doctor, which helps when an

emergency crops up.‘‘Clarke’s clothing accept

payment through the yeartoward school uniforms,’’ Donnasaid. ‘‘By the time it comes tobuy a uniform, you can build upquite a credit.’’

Now is a good time to getbudget advice and it’s free. ‘‘Wewould much rather help peopleto budget their money inpreparation for expenses, ratherthan how to cope after they’vebeen incurred.’’

The Levin Budget Service isfree to all. Referral isn’tnecessary. For information oran appointment ph 06 3686924 or027 450 8282.

WHAT better way to play than in the mud. Members of Horowhenua Junior Neighbourhood Supportletting their hair down and getting grubby over the holidays.

Mud maximises group funBy PETER FRANKLIN

Kids will be kids and in the caseof Horowhenua JuniorNeighbourhood Support, theadults joined in as they played inthe mud at Green Pastureseducational team buildingcomplex in Wanganui.

NSG co-ordinator WendyForeman said they took fivechildren from five schools, all ofwhom are part of the juniorneighbourhood support network,to the camp, along with adultchaperones and had a ball.

Mrs Foreman said the exercisewas twofold — one to reward the

children for their hard workduring the year, and to do someteam building.

‘‘I think we succeeded and hada whole lot of fun doing it,’’ shesaid.

The students were fromTaitoko, Fairfield, Foxton,Foxton Beach and Shannonschools.

‘‘Unfortunately we only had ashort overnight visit to the camp,next time we plan it we reallyshould consider a longer stay. It isa fantastic facility and very wellorganised to cater for what wewanted to achieve,’’ she said.

Mrs Foreman said Junior

Neighbourhood Support has beenwell received by the participatingschools and has made a bigdifference to the way children seethings.

‘‘They are more conscious oftheir surroundings and thepotential dangers that are part ofeveryday life,’’ Mrs Foremansaid.

During their overnighter thestudents took on an obstaclecourse that emphasised the needto work as a team, plus otherchallenges that also needed teamwork to complete, but it was themud slide that really goteveryone laughing, and dirty.

New Salvation Armyduo enjoy new postby TANYAWOOD

LVN070214TWsalvation

LEVIN Salvation Army Corps newly appointed officers in charge Chris and LisaCollings.

Levin Salvation Army Corps newlyappointed officers in charge Chris andLisa Collings know the problemsassociated with low socio-economic areasrun deeper than just material needs.

‘‘We want to be more than just anotheragency handing things out,’’ Lisa said.‘‘We actually want to dig a little deeperand walk alongside people.’’

After four years in Cannons Creek,Porirua, running their first ministry, thecouple have no pre-conceived ideas aboutLevin or Horowhenua. ‘‘If you come withpreconceptions you’ll make mistakes,’’Chris said. ‘‘Life is a journey and we learnfrom each other. Just because somethingis different, doesn’t mean it’s wrong.’’

Commissioned as officers in 2010,Wellingtonian Lisa is fourth generationArmy on both sides of her family, andjoked ‘‘I’ve got red, yellow and blueblood.’’

Chris’s first contact with the Army wasas a young boy growing up in Auckland.

‘‘Salvation Army was the nearestchurch. My parents became officers so wemoved round the country quite a bit.’’

The couple arrived in town four weeks

ago to run the Levin Corps and are excitedabout their new posting. Their childrenItaly, 9, Stasson, 10, and Bennett, 12 arealready enjoying the facilities in town.

‘‘They love the library and swimmingpool,’’ said Chris.

‘‘They’re into sports so I guess it won’tbe long before we’ll be on the sidelinescheering.

‘‘I’m very vocal apparently.’’The Collings’ plan to meet as many

local organisations as possible.‘‘We want to know where the Salvation

Army could help to make the communitya better place to live,’’ said Lisa.

The Levin Corps organises a number ofcommunity support groups andprogrammes, run by ‘‘many capablepeople in the church’’ so the couple’s rolemay be more managerial than ‘hands on’but Chris said after their experiences inCannons Creek, they may look atexpanding the services to the community.

The Collings have been married 17years in June.

Both enjoy music, and will be involvedin church musical groups.

The couple replace Corps officers Kenand Denise Smith who were appointed toAshburton after two years in Levin.

TRAVELMATTERS- what’s happening in the industry with Pam Hardy

Sea dreams are made of thisCycling and cruising are not the usualholidaymix, butPamNevillemanages to fit the two together on aMediterranean adventure

LUXURY: Seadreamnext to Oasis of Seas inSt Thomas; travellers can enjoy a busystopover itinerary as well as lounging onboard.

THEPLAN is simple, butsticking to it is a challenge.Wemust be at the gangplankas our ship docks eachmorning, usually at 8amon

the dot. Andwemust pedal back in timeto get on board before she ups anchor inthe late afternoon.No lolling in deck-loungers, sipping

cocktails and eating canapes for thistravelling pair.A recent British survey found

passengers on all-inclusive cruises gainweight at the rate of half a kilo a day.That’s 7kg a person for our two-weekjauntwhere, if we choose, we can eatand drink all day long on our all-inclusive ticket.Motivation to refrain is not somuch

the fear of fat as a desire to go home abit fitter and healthier thanwe left.So the plan sees us cycling furiously

along lovely CapNegre in the South ofFrance. This iswhere Carla Bruni andNicolas Sarkozy have their holidayhome—not thatwe see it. Likemost ofthe homes of the seriously rich on theCote d’Azur, Carla’s pad iswell-hidden.There are plenty ofmoremodest villasto admire, however, as the cycle trailfollows an old railway line past 12beaches, eachwith its own fountain in atiny town square.The bike paths ofmanyEuropean towns

and citiesmake sightseeing by cycle somuch safer than it often is inNewZealand.We are seldom sharingwith cars, andwhenwe are on the same carriageway,solid barriers divide us.Our ship is small— so small, in fact, that

the owners insistwe are yachting, notcruising. About 100 passengers, and nearlyasmany crew. Small-ship cruising is new tous, and Seadream is about as good as itgets.The accommodation is luxurious, the

food gourmet, the service impeccable, yetthe dress code is ‘‘yacht casual’’, no formalattire required. If youwant onboardnightclubs, a bustling casino andmultiplerestaurants, you should choose the bigcruise liners. If you can forgo nightlife forpersonal space, no queues to get on and offthe ship, and out-of-the-ordinary stopovers,then small-ship cruising is for you.Our CapNegre bike ride comes about

becausewe are anchored off the town of LaLavandou. It is not the prettiest townbecause it was flattened inWorldWar IIand rebuilt, but it has the bestweeklymarket you could everwish towanderaround. Our itinerary had named a

different port, but an unfriendlywindwasblowing there so the captain took us to LaLavandou instead. Another joy of small-ship travel: you can access ports that thebig ships can’t stop in.Portofino, one of the prettiest towns in

Italy, is one of those small-ship stopovers,and the Spanish city of Cartagena, wherewe find ourselves several days afterleaving La Lavandou, is another.Cartagena offers a grimly different

scenario. No luxury villas alongwhite-sand beaches edged by restaurants here.RepublicanCartagenawas one of the lastcities to surrender to Franco’s Nationalistsin the SpanishCivilWar. To ensuresubmission, and as punishment, Franco’sallies Germany and Italy bombed the cityto ruins.Central boulevards and an attractive

waterfront have been rejuvenated butbackstreets are derelict. Under a hilltopped by an ancient Roman amphitheatreare caves and tunnelswhere 5000townsfolk sheltered during air raids, now atouristmuseum.Sticking to our plan, we breakfast early

and eschew the shipboard lunch—and thepre-lunchBloodyMarys—and tour

Cartagena by cycle.Seadreamhas a fleet ofmountainbikes

on board. Not enough for every passenger,butmany of those on board didn’t shareour enthusiasm for the active stopoverplan. Perhaps theywere the smart ones.I’m still grieving overmissing the‘‘Champagne andCaviar Splash’’, one ofthe signature events aboard Seadream 1and sister ship Seadream 2. (They are theonly ships of aNorwegian boutiquecruising business called the SeadreamYacht Club.)As it turned out, wemight have taken

to the deck-loungers after all becauseSeadream 1 has a healthy-eating optioncalled theRawFoodMenu. The food is

raw, vegan, organic and never heatedabove 50C.We could have eatenwatermelon salad and cashew curryfollowed by avocado key lime pie, and avariety of different options each night—but thatwould havemeant bypassing thecaviar, the lobster, the chateaubriand andthe orange liqueur souffle.We chose the bikes.

Clinics keepparvo awayBy FRANKIEWEBB

Horowhenua dog owners are showingresponsibility when it comes to vaccinatingtheir dogs.

A distemper vaccination programme hasbeen so successful Simon Clark, head smallanimal veterinarian at Levin andHorowhenua Veterinary Centre, has neverseen a case in this area.

Unfortunately not the same can be saidfor the deadly canine parvo virus.

Dr Clark was determined to dosomething to rid Horowhenua of the diseaseso he instigated ‘‘budget’’ vaccinationclinics. He believes he’s winning the battle.

‘‘A colleague who works in PalmerstonNorth has seen several cases of parvo,’’ saidDr Clark. ‘‘All ended in either the dog’sdeath or huge medical bills — sometimesboth.’’

Dr Clark instigated monthly clinics in2011. ‘‘I have not seen a clinical case of parvoat the Levin practice for some time,’’ he said.

‘‘I’m confident it has become much less

common in this district because of themonthly vaccine clinics.

‘‘I appreciate financially times are tough,I want to ensure dog owners can afford thisvaccination, it is so important.’’

The February clinic is this Saturdaybetween 2pm and 3pm at the Levin andHorowhenua Veterinary centre, 518 QueenStreet. Any healthy dog from 6 weeks old issuitable for vaccinating for $40. Noappointment is needed.

Levin isn’t going to the dogs, the dogs arecoming to Levin.

For 80 years Horowhenua KennelAssociation championship shows havebeen held in Levin. This weekend,February 15 and 16, more than 620 dogsfrom around New Zealand will paradebefore eight judges from Japan, Croatiaand Australia.

‘‘In earlier days our show was held inconjunction with the Horowhenua APand I Show,’’ association president PeterSharp said. ‘‘We have grown to a sizewhere we need most of the showgroundsfor ourselves.’’

In New Zealand there are 218 dogbreeds recognised by the New ZealandKennel Club, categorised within sevenbreed groups. Mr Sharp believes around70 per cent of the breeds are representedat the Levin show, many of them local.

‘‘The Horowhenua association is oneof the largest all-breeds clubs in NewZealand,’’ he said. ‘‘There are a lot ofquality bred dogs, representative of manybreeds in the district. As a club we arevery proud they receive many awards.’’

Winning the best exhibit in showcarries the chance to qualify for the WorldDog Show in Finland later this year.

‘‘On one of the two days a dog will beawarded best exhibit in show,’’ Mr Sharpsaid. ‘‘They will compete for the supremedog title against dogs who have won thesame title at other shows around thecountry. That dog is then eligible for theHelsinki show.’’

It isn’t just dogs that come under thejudges’ scrutiny — on Sunday junior doghandlers, aged 13 to 18, will be competing

for a chance to attend Crufts show inEngland.

‘‘Junior handlers contest 12 heats atshows around New Zealand,’’ Mr Sharpsaid. ‘‘Their dog handling skills will bejudged followed by an interview to revealtheir knowledge of animal husbandry,dog anatomy and New Zealand history.’’

Te Takere’s heritage community hasbeen helping with a Te Papa project andlearning about life in Levin in the early20th century at the same time.

Members of the Horowhenua FamilyHistory Group and HorowhenuaHistorical Society have beentranscribing the diaries of Levin manGeorge Leslie Adkin in a pilotprogramme Te Papa has been holdingwith Victoria University to test theeffectiveness of using volunteers.

Adkin wrote in his diary every day ofhis adult life, from 1905 to 1964, and thecollection is held by the museum.

At the start of the 20th century hisfather William Adkin was an earlysettler, breaking in land in Queen StreetEast and the Arapaepae Ridge behindLevin. His son Leslie joined him on thefamily farm when he left school at the ageof 16.

An interest in photography, whichbegan at Wellington College, became alife-long passion.

He also developed keen interests ingeology, tramping, local Maori historyand archaeology and became an expert inthem all.

As well as the details of the farm work,the volunteers — a large group in Levinand others around New Zealand and inEngland who work online — have beenengrossed with his accounts of social andchurch activities with family and

friends, and the photographs he took.The romance with his beloved Maud

and their engagement has also created alot of interest, with excerpts ofparticularly romantic moments sharedout loud at the two workshops whichhave been held in Te Takere.

Some local volunteers are alsotranscribing at home in an effort tocomplete the target set.

Excerpts from the diaries are beingshared as daily tweets through Life 100Years Ago, a collaborative web andTwitter project supported by the FirstWorld War Centenary programme office.

THRILLERSThe Pattern of Fearby DrewChapmanPenguin (NZ), $37..................................................

This book keptme on the edge from thevery first page; a psychological politicalthriller that was a relief to read aftersome very disappointing experiencesrecently.DrewChapman is a screenwriter for

television and it shows.Thewriting is precise, action-packed

and credible.His research into the workings of

government and also internet piracy,hacking et al has been extensive so thestory rings true.Garrett Reilly recognises patterns like

other people breathe. As a result, histalent for makingmoney as a stockbrokerin NewYork is genius level.When hediscovers that someone is trying to bringdown the US by off-loading governmentbonds and sending the Treasury intofreefall he finds himself involved in a plotthat could bring onWorldWar III.This is Chapman’s first book but I

imagine it will also become the beginningof a new series. If you are a reader ofRobert Ludlum’sBourne sequence orDavid Baldacci’sCamel Club here is anew author to add to your reading list.Enjoy the ride. — ElisabethMarrow

Stay Aliveby SimonKernickRandomHouse, $38..................................................

Kernick has written several acclaimedthrillers. I’m not convinced, though, thatthis (his 14th) is among his best. Thecomplex plot is unwieldy, and one isnever sure just who themain character is— the policeman, the widow of amurderedman, a youngwoman and heryounger sister who become involved in anightmarish situation, or amanwhoturns up out of nowhere to help.A serial killer is on the loose. His latestvictim is the husband of a womanwhoarrives home to find him still in thehouse.She escapes, and is sent to Scotland forsafety reasons.But she is followed, and has to run forher life, pursued by three gun-totingvillains. The youngwoman and her sisterare boating in the river to which she flees,and so also become the pursued.To confusematters, the serial killer isfound dead, having been tortured, and

doubts arise as to whether he really wasthe killer of the woman’s husband.

— GraemeBarrowEast of Innocenceby David ThorneAllen andUnwin, $40..................................................

Daniel Connell is a very bright boy. Theson of a violent petty criminal (his mothervanished after his birth), he grows up in aworking-class neighbourhood, but hisintelligence gets him to public school, andearns him scholarships and a top lawdegree.Unfortunately, he has a volatiletemperament and takes offencemuch tooeasily. He reacts, generally, with violence— just as his horrible father used to withhim. This gets him tossed out of a topLondon law firm and he now scrapes aliving as a sole practitioner.He becomes involved in two dangerous

situations— one being chased by a bentpoliceman because he has in hispossession video tapes of the said copadministering a brutal beating, and theother being forced to do the legal work ina crooked transaction for a ganglandboss. At the same time he is searching forhis long-lost mother. This search perhapsoccupies toomuch of this novel, but it’san exciting read and Thorne writes well.

‘‘A number of stallholdersreported their highest eftposturnover this year.’’

The 160 stalls complimentedevents running throughout theday which included the medievalcombat skills of vikings andknights, children’s paper swordfights, catapult firing, and shootthe knight, to gentler arts likeface painting, shield painting,morris dancing, music anddrama performances.

‘‘Overall we’re pleased withhow the day went. People haveposted comments on ourFacebook page saying it was anenjoyable day and great for thekids.’’

Market organisers are in theprocess of tallying up the day’sproceeds which are dividedbetween donations to localcharities and a reserve fundwhich ensures the market’sfuture once expenses are paid.

Cr Ross Brannigan said a lot of creditfor getting this event at Cousins Reserveshould go to Community Boardchairwoman Janine Small.

He said Foxton and Foxton Beach hadmuch to offer groups like the mountainbikers and this was a golden opportunityto target a specific sporting group.

‘‘It really is about getting the word outthere how good the area is,’’ he said.

The Manawatu Mountain Bike Clubhas over 400 members, some of whom livein Horowhenua.

Club member Leighton Judd saidmembers were spread all over the regionwith riders coming from Otaki North totake part in events.

Mr Judd said there was a competitiveside to the club but there was also thefamily side, where you can get mum, dadand the kids all taking part together.

Mr Judd said the club’s summerseries was over six events. In each eventthe riders go as hard as they can for 45minutes, with the one who clocks up themost laps during that time the winner.

He said feedback so far from theCousins Reserve event had been positive,everyone enjoyed the challenge andlocation.

Frustrations over the weed eater

WEEDEATERScan be testingitems.

Diggingin

WALLY RICHARDS

If there is one gardening tool that Ihave a hate/love relationship withit is the weed eater.

Over the years I have owned anumber of brands of weed eatersboth electric and petrol andincluded in this mix was a coupleof bush cutters.

The history of weed eaters is:Weed Eater was a string

trimmer company founded in 1971in Houston, Texas by George C.Ballas, Sr., the inventor of thedevice. The idea for the WeedEater trimmer came to him fromthe spinning nylon bristles of anautomatic car wash. (fromWikipedia)

The interesting aspects of thisis that the name Weed Eater is aregistered company by that nameand we have been plagued orhelped? with these devices for over40 years.

In principal they are a greatidea; you have this motorisedspinning contraption that spinsnylon cord at high speed capable ofslicing through weeds near groundlevel.

When working as they aresupposed to do, they will tidy upyour section in a relatively shorttime, far quicker than on handsand knees, removing weeds.

Far better for the environmentthan using chemical herbicideswhich end up in our food chain.

I cant remember when I

purchased my first weed eater butI have memories of motors thatwould not start after pulling thecord untold times and if they didstart to kick over by the time youstarted to open the throttle theywould die.

Floated engines, dirty sparkplugs and after so many pulls onthe cord it would finally break.

When you were lucky and yougot the motor going then a biggerproblem would follow; the cuttingcord.

I have had the types which youare supposed to hit the centre partof the cord feeder on the ground tofeed out some cord and the typesthat is supposed to automatic feed.

Ever try to load a twin cord

dispenser by yourself and actuallyget it working correctly?

Both systems work some of thetime and to cause absolutefrustration, never all of the time.

The electric ones I have ownedsolve the problem of starting themotor with a pull cord, justconnect to the power and turn on.Magic and nice and quiet also, butno better in the cord feeddepartment and with dragging a230V extension cord around can belikened to living dangerouslyunless an isolating device is used.

I have also owned bush cutterones which are like the smallerweed eater but with a much longerreach and a steel cutting discinstead of nylon cord.

Heavier to use as a much biggermotor and heavier steel in themanufacture made for cuttingdown scrub and small busheswhere using a chain saw is notpractical. (Real man stuff)

Steel disc cutting blade meanshours of cutting before it needs theedges sharpened.

My original one was great,excellent brand, worked a treat butreally was overkill and later sold itdue to a change in where I lived.

The last time I purchased abush cutter it was a dual purposeone in so much as you could use ametal cutter or a cord cutter. Afterthe second or third use it would notstart so back to the store Ipurchased it from and was told totake it with the receipt to a localrepair shop.

I knew the people that workedthere very well and told them ofmy problem with my cutter.

The manager said follow meand took me out the back wherethere were numerous cutters,same brand and model as mine allin various states of repair. Somewere already in for their second,third and fourth repair underwarranty.

I was told it could be fixed butonly temporary unless I was lucky.

Instead I got a ‘‘Can’t Repair’’chit for a refund. I went back to thelawn mower place and asked whatis a really good weed eater and wassold on a nice model of a Makita,not cheap but quality..

Starts on second or third pull ofthe cord every time and goes likethe clappers.

The problem is it has a dualcord automatic feed which isdifficult to load by yourself anddoes not work as well as it shouldunless loaded perfectly.

After frustrations of trying toget the automatic cord thingworking I decided to buy somepreloaded spools on ouranniversary day recently. Firststop Bunnings as they haveeverything but no, lots of cords toload yourself none preloadedspools for Makita.

The attendant said they used tohave Makita but now other brands.So off to Mitre 10 Mega sameproblem only a specialised lawnmower shop would have what Iwanted.

The shop assistant asked me if Ihad seen a Pivotrim on TV? I hadnot so he showed me this greatgadget that is a disc with fourpivots that heavy duty cords aretreaded through to give eightcutting cords which are so simpleto replace when worn out.

The disc called a Pivotrim ProPremium (there is a cheaperversion also) will fit mostmotorised weed eaters. I was soldand the next step was to fit it ontomy Makita.

It took a bit of time to puzzlethat one out but in the end I got thedisc on. It is magic the pivots moveback when the cord hits a solidobject so the cord does not getworn out quickly near concreteetc. I am fairly sure it is a lot saferto use around trees and shrubswithout the danger of ring-barking, normal cord ones do.

You can even do edges onmowing strips very neatly and onslopes it cuts grass and weeds inhalf the time of the normal cordones.■ For gardening problems ringmeat0800 466-464 (PalmerstonNorth357-0606). [email protected] or go towww.gardenews.co.nz

GORDON and HarrietRobertson, and GlenysHenderson having a nice walkalong Waitarere Beach.

It’s all go at Levin Home.Enliven at Levin Home is an

important reminder that no mat-ter how old we are, we all like toenjoy our favourite pastimes, tofeel fulfilled and have a purpose.

Sadly, for many older peoplewho are less mobile, enjoyingthese things isn’t always so easy.They often feel lonely, bored andeven helpless.

We work hard to ensure thisdoesn’t happen. We make sureresidents receive the extra sup-port they need to enjoy life to thefull. We help them continue to dothe things they love, explainshome manager Dorothy Moore.

The home’s Recreation Pro-gramme is an important aspectto achieving that. As part of theprogramme, residents havespent the last few monthsenjoying all that summer has tooffer. This includes rolling uptheir sleeves in the garden,taking trips to the local marketfor summer berries, and headingout in the van to take in thesights.

It’s all about supporting theelders to continue doing thethings they love; having a pur-pose and a reason to get up in themorning is important to all of us!

Spontaneity is so importanttoo, so we mix things up a bit andgo on an impromptu trip to thepark or cafe if the weather is nice,says Dorothy.

Levin Home is run by Enliven,part of the not-for-profit organ-isation Presbyterian Support Cen-tral, and does not receive anyfunding to provide recreationactivities.

MURIEL Burns had a fluffy visitor who spent some quality time together.

In December the residents of LonsdaleTotal Care complex and Riverside Lodgewere treated to a performance byFoxton school choir and a sing-alongwith Allan.

Two church groups brought theChristmas spirit into our home singingChristmas carols.

We thanked our volunteers with anafter-noon tea where they were pre-sented with certificates of appreciation.

We attended the Grey Power meetingin Levin and enjoyed an afternoon ofentertainment and a sumptuous after-noon tea.

Residents also were amazed at thevariety and colour of the SalvationArmies Avenue of trees when we visited.

A late night was had by those who

went out to view the Christmas lights, ofLevin, but found they were worth seeing.

Our Teppett flats residents are gettingactive each afternoon with variousgames and the competitive spirit of someis very evident.

Fun and music with JNX and Liz weresome of the highlights of January.

Residents took a keen interest in theCatamaran at the Foxton River, withnumerous visits to watch the progressand eventual launch of this huge vessel.Regular visits by Janette and her dogscontinue to bring pleasure to many.

Millvale HouseL E V I N



Millvale House enhances outdoor areaAt Millvale House Levin we are excited toannounce that we have extended thefacility and gardens with a larger deck forthe hospital and more walking opportun-ities and outside space for our residents.

Plans are also under way for a ‘sensorygarden’ designed to stimulate peoplevisually, aesthetically and in terms of oneof our most significant senses, that offragrance and scent.

This ongoing project is being overseenby our diversional therapy team, involvingour residents as much as possible.

When people can freely use outdoorareas, agitation reduces, independence ispromoted and memory recall is morelikely to occur. Gardening is stimulating,gives sensory pleasure and taps in to pastlife activities and experiences.

Walking has physical and psychologi-

cal benefits, and being outdoors letspeople have safe sun exposure for vitaminD intake. Vitamin D is needed formusculoskeletal health and reducing therisk of bone fractures.

Quality of life improves with an out-

door space or garden giving people thechance to be physically active and more intouch with nature, be alone or socialise,according to their mood, and engage inmeaningful activities that make them feelvalued and at home.

Summerset in the Rangesgets Verna back into life

LVN120214splverna1

LIFE is about getting out and about now for Summerset’s Verna Fine.

Life in a care centre has opened the doorand the freedom that Verna Fine neverthought she would ever have again.

Leading up to her move into Summersetcare centre, Verna couldn’t leave the housea few months ago.

However, since moving to the carecentre at Summerset in the Ranges, Levin,she’s found a new sense of confidence andcommunity.

The 78-year-old suffered from agora-phobia — a fear of open spaces — acondition that came on gradually over theyears, until she found she couldn’t get pasther own front door.

‘‘I’ve had a lot of upsets in my life,’’ shesaid.

‘‘It just all caught up with me.’’

She moved to Summerset after a spell inhospital last September, and has beenencouraged to undertake small tasks bydiversional therapist Val Franklin that havehelped her overcome her fear. She creditsthe companionship of her fellow residentswith helping her as well.

‘‘I’m doing things I never thoughtpossible, like helping in the gardens, goingout shopping. I can go out and about bymyself. I’m very pleased with myself andwith the people who have helped me.’’

She says she would never have come sofar if it hadn’t been for the care centre.

‘‘Everyone that’s known me before, theysay how much better I look! I sold myhouse, sold my car, I’m here and I’mstaying!’’

lvn030214pjf

OLD foes meet again in the T20 final, Weraroa’s James South was the pick of their bowlers.

Weraora Cricket Club triumphedby 2 wickets over local rivalsLevin Old Boys in Saturday’sthrilling Twenty 20 final.

Held at Weraroa Domain infront of a good crowd, Levin OldBoys elected to bat first withcaptain Mike Rameka anchoringthe innings with a solid 66. Somehard hitting in the final fewovers saw Levin score a morethan respectable 154 for 5.

James South was the pick ofthe bowlers finishing with 3-2-20and Adam Simonsen in the fieldwas excellent as he executed twodirect runouts.

In the chase Weraroa tookadvantage of the extra pace onoffer from Levin’s rep ladenbowling attack.

Most Weraroa batsmen gotstarts, however, at one stagefound themselves struggling at42 for 3 after 7 overs.

Weraroa’s David O’Brien (41)steadied the chase and played amuch needed captain’s knock tohelp get the team home.

‘‘We batted deep and hadregular Senior A batsmancoming in at 8 and 9. Ultimately,it was a good decision,’’ O’Briensaid.

Horowhenua Kapiti SeniorCricket now head into the CountyCompetition with the first roundstarting on Saturday. CurrentCounty Champions Weraroa playKapiti at Weraroa Domain andLevin Old Boys take onParaparaumu at Donnelly park.
