YOUR VIEWS

New startRe ‘Offer for a new start’, Cr Tony Rush’sletter, October 16. He makes a generous offerto liaise with a ratepayers association — oneI haven’t heard.

I would also welcome the opportunity tomeet.

I wonder who will offer to liaise with theHorowhenua District Ratepayers and Resi-dents Association Incorporated. Attention todetail is so important.

CHRISTINA PATONSecretary Horowhenua District

Ratepayers and Residents Association

Wasted votesWhy did 1000 people waste their vote?

About 1000 people, myself included, voted

for Michael Feyen to be our elected repre-sentative on the Foxton Community Board.

About 1000 people, myself included, votedfor Michael Feyen to be our elected repre-sentative for the Kere Kere Ward.

Mr Feyen received enough votes to beeligible for both positions as number two forthe Kere Kere Ward and the communityboard.

I learn Mr Feyen can not hold bothpositions. Why not?

He did not withdraw, as is suggested bythe progress results in the Chronicle onOctober 16. He was told, after the election, hehad to withdraw, despite 1000 people votingfor him.

I hope those who wasted their votes willnot decide to miss the next Local Govern-ment elections.

Why did I vote if it does not count for

anything?Nowhere, that I can find, does any of the

electoral information state a person can nothold both positions.

Had I known Mr Feyen would not be ableto hold both posts, I would have decidedwhich post I thought would be most useful tothe community of Foxton (councillor orcommunity board).

I would have voted for that option andused my other vote to nominate someoneelse for the other position.

So 1000 voters who bothered to vote neednot have done so, as their vote did not meananything.

So much for ‘Get out and vote for yourlocal community’.

lvn231013pjfaward

WINNERS: Members of the Waiopehu College management team celebrate their winin the MidCentral District Health Board Health Awards on Saturday, from left CaroleShaw, Barbara Petherick, Guy Reichenbach, Ann Stout and Jaldhara Stevens.

Horowhenua stole the spotlight at the2013 MidCentral District Health BoardHealth Awards on Saturday night.

The supreme award went to theImproving Health of Older People inHorowhenua project with two othercategory winners also coming from thedistrict.

The project took the top award and a$3000 prize after demonstratinginnovation by developing andimplementing an older person’s nursepractitioner for three aged residentialcare facilities in the Horowhenua — thefirst of its kind in New Zealand.

Evidence from the trial was extremelypositive, showing a significantimprovement in healthcare services andclient outcomes. This was reflected in thePalmerston North Hospital emergencydepartment with visits decreasing 28 percent after nurse practitionerintervention compared to a 21 per centincrease for facilities without a nursepractitioner role.

The project is so successful it is likelyto be replicated in other areas of theboard’s region.

The judges were impressed with thelevel of collaboration and integrationbetween aged residential care providers,general practice teams, Central PHO andspecialist services. They said the servicehad shown demonstrable benefits interms of patient wellbeing.

Another Horowhenua award winnerwas Levin’s Waiopehu College, whichtook out the Healthy Schools Award.

The college was recognised for itsapproach to a healthier school, aiming tocreate healthier students who are morewilling and able to learn. This has beenachieved with education opportunitiesthat include an on-site health facility,professional support, healthpresentations, breakfasts in school,student-run programmes,a schoolgarden and a teen parenting unit.

Judges were particularly impressedby the school’s commitment toimproving health and social outcomesfor the students.

‘‘Waiopehu College has formedexcellent relationships with healthproviders and community agencies, theysaid.

‘‘The college enjoys a high level ofsupport from the agencies whichrecognise the positive approach, theenthusiasm and the commitment to theirstudents.

‘‘The initiatives in place reflect theenthusiasm and can do attitude of staffwhich is then reflected in the schoolsculture.’’

Another district winner was Life tothe Max and Horowhenua DistrictCouncil, which took out the award forExcellence in IntersectoralCollaboration to Improve Health andSocial Outcomes Award.

They won the award after developinga community wellbeing executive groupand forum. These were efficiently run,meaning changes were seen in thecommunity.

Some of the group’s accomplishmentsinclude the establishment of a HealthWorkforce Trust which focuses on GP

attraction and retention, and improvedaccess to health service for young people.

Judges said the project demonstratedhow a community with good leadershipcould achieve excellent outcomes for aspecific population, in this case, youngpeople in Horowhenua.

Jobs go as Shannon fellmongerysold to Hawke’s Bay corporation

lvn231013pjfsilverfern

SAD MESSAGE: ‘‘It’s never easy closinga plant, we’ll do what we can to help ourstaff,’’ chief operating manger KevinWinders said after telling workers onMonday the Shannon fellmongery wouldclose.

By PETER FRANKLIN

‘With forecasted lower lambnumbers, we believe this

consolidation of peltprocessing through Lowe

Corporation’s modern facilitiesat Tomoana will set us both up

well for the season.’KEITHCOOPER,Silver Ferns chief executive

The inevitable happened on Monday as86 staff at Silver Fern Farms Shannonfellmongery heard the news they hadbeen expecting, the plant had been soldand it would be mothballed.

The closure is a huge blow to thesmall township, where employment isscarce.

Silver Fern Farms chief operatingmanager Kevin Winders said it wasalways a sad thing to close a plant andwhile it was a positive from a businessperspective, and for the industry overall,it was understandably hard on people atthe plant who worked hard.

‘‘It’ll be tough on the localcommunity,’’ he said.

In a statement Silver Ferns chiefexecutive Keith Cooper said thecompany had entered into anunconditional agreement to sell its

Shannon fellmongery to Hastings-basedLowe Corporation.

The sale agreement would see theplant closed and Silver Fern Farms sendits North Island pelts to the LoweCorporation’s Hastings facilities forprocessing.

Mr Winders said while it was a hard

decision to deliver to staff, they had beentold about the sale offer in midSeptember when it was first made.

A sale decision was expected bySeptember 30 but the negotiationsbetween Silver Fern Farms and thecorporation continued longer thanexpected.

Support for the workers has beenestablished through a range of agencies,including Work and Income. He saidworkers from the plant would be placedon a priority list when seasonal workbecame available at one or more of itsother processing units.

Mr Cooper said they have beenlooking through a variety of options tocreate efficiencies in the industry.

‘‘With forecasted lower lambnumbers, we believe this consolidationof pelt processing through LoweCorporation’s modern facilities atTomoana will set us both up well for theseason.’’

Lowe Corporation managing directorAndy Lowe says the deal showsleadership around collaboration in thesector.

‘‘The gains we can make together outof this agreement should see a healthiersector in the long run.

‘‘We’re happy to be leading this withSilver Fern Farms,’’ he said.

Mr Lowe said the partnershipbetween the companies would bringefficiencies to the sector despite forecastlower lamb numbers.

‘‘Our Hastings facilities have thecapacity to increase production andincrease efficiencies. We’ll both benefitfrom this.’’

Mr Cooper said if they operatedShannon this coming season with the

lower lamb numbers the costs forrunning the plant would increasefurther.

‘‘We have been bringing in themajority of the pelts to Shannon fromour Takapau plant in the Hawke’s Bay,to process them and then transport themback to the Port of Napier. Whenoperating at low efficiencies thesetransport costs make the plantuncompetitive. This deal takes that costout of the equation.’’

SADDAY FORSMALL TOWNOtaki MP and Minister of PrimaryIndustries Nathan Guy said he was‘‘very disappointed to hear thatSilver Fern Farms’ Shannonfellmongery is to close.

‘‘Shannon is a small town and theloss of these jobs is a big blow.

‘‘I’m hopeful some of the workerswill be able to find work in thewider region.’’

Mr Guy said he had discussed theclosure with Social DevelopmentMinister Paula Bennett to ensurethat support was available to any

workers who might need it.‘‘In situations like this Work and

Income offers Redundancy SupportServices, which includes visitingthe affected workplace to offerinformation on how they can helpwith job search and recruitmentservices, as well as other support.

‘‘The economy is growing andbusiness confidence levels are athigh levels, in particularconstruction of the Kapitiexpressway is expected to createaround 1000 local jobs.’’

Rage video graphic lessonon angermanagement‘‘I don’t belong here,’’ was Greg’s firstthought when he attended an angermanagement programme run byHorowhenua Family Violence InterventionProgramme.

But that thought soon changed to ‘‘thatsounds like me’’ when he heard othergroup members discuss their experiences.

Getting help to those responsible forfamily violence is one of the best ways toreduce the harm the abuse causes.

Many don’t realise how violent they are,or the harm they are causing to theirpartners and children.

Greg knew he got angry but didn’t thinkit was a problem. He was a ‘clean cut’ guy,had a job and had never been in troublewith the police.

But when he got angry, he lost it, goinginto a rage and threatening his partner andtheir kids.

Couples often argue but when Greg andhis partner argued they would get in eachother’s face and knew how to push eachother’s buttons.

One day Greg picked her up and pushedher up against the wall, screaming at her.What he didn’t notice was their youngdaughter was on her lap and was caught inthe middle.

Greg’s partner eventually took out aprotection order and it was through this hewas sent to the anger managementprogramme.

During the course, Greg started torealise how his behaviour was affecting hiskids and he learned to recognise how tostop before he got into a rage.

He still gets angry but can take steps tokeep it under control.

The most important thing he got fromthe group was support and understanding.

The group of men becameclose and, along with the facilitators, are

able to act as a support network whenthings get difficult.

Being listened to and sharing tools andstrategies helped all the participants makechanges. It has also helped sustain thechanges.

During the course, Greg was videoedwhen he became angry. When he saw thevideo of himself in a rage, he didn’trecognise himself and only then realisedhow seriously he could have hurt someone.

When Greg showed the video to thegroup, a member suggested he had aproblem and needed to make changes.

The advice came from a member Gregconsidered an unlikely source of helpfulinformation but the man’s honesty andsupport made a connection that has createda friendship.

Greg’s violence was not what we thinkof when we think of family violence —things like punching and kicking — but itwas just as serious and cost him a lot,including a close connection with his kids.

Reaching out to someone you know isabusive to their family and supportingthem to get help could make a bigdifference in their lives and help end thecycle of violence.

ONE CLASS: left, ArnoldChew, Jahrome Frew-White

and Azy McKenzie all learningtogether.

School for some is not just aboutlearning to read and write, it isabout learning to interminglewith others, working as a part ofa team, being part of something.

That is the focus for specialneeds students at Levin School,developing a comfort zone thatallows them to join mainstreamschool programmes and get themaximum benefit.

School principal Colin Offordsaid ensuring the students hadthe chance to spend importanttime among the mainstreamstudent body and curriculumwas essential to their over-alleducation needs.

He said each of the specialneeds students is guided throughan individual education planspecifically designed for theirindividual needs andaspirations. Parents, specialistsand special needs teachers havemeaningful input into thedevelopment of a student’seducation programme.

The students had a learningregime that covers everythingfrom personal hygiene to normalschool criteria and much more.

Mr Offord said the importantthing for the school was that thechild’s parents were involvedwith the education planningprocess. Apart from a biannualIEP review, parents receive aconstant flow of progressinformation through acommunication book studentstake home.

For the teachers, the book is avital tool to get feedback from theentries by the parents.

Mr Offord said it was an

effective way of ensuring theindividual educationprogramme was achieving itsgoals.

Some students have theavailability of aphysiotherapist who, alongwith staff and parents,designs an exerciseprogramme to help themovercome mobilityrestrictions.

‘‘Our whole focus is to givethese kids all theopportunities we possibilitycan,’’ he said.

Mr Offord said because theMinistry of Education fundstransport to and from theschool, they can enrolstudents from Otaki to FoxtonBeach to Shannon.

Polio battleRotarians worldwide are on amission to eradicate polio andLevin members will belooking for support tomorrowduring the Purple PinkieStreet Appeal.

They will gather outsidethe Levin PostShop, handingout literature, collectingdonations and painting pinkiefingernails purple.

When children in ThirdWorld countries arevaccinated, their pinkie finger

nails arecolouredpurple sothey do notreceive adouble dose.

For aslittle as 60¢,a child canbe protectedagainst poliofor life.

All of the proceeds will bedonated to Polio Plus andevery dollar will be matchedby $2 from the Bill andMelinda Gates Foundation,making every $1 donationworth $3, or five doses of poliovaccine.

Polio is a potentially fataldisease which has no cure andchildren under the age of fiveare at the greatest risk.

The primary goal of thePurple Pinkie Project is toraise the funds needed toeradicate polio and raiseawareness about theseriousness of the disease andhow it can be prevented.

The crippling disease hasbeen eradicated in all butAfghanistan, Pakistan andSomalia.

Call to end aerial1080 poison dropsBy PETER FRANKLIN

‘You can’t get near the areawhere the helicopter is beingloaded as it is well off the roadand they have security guards

there.’ROSEMARYCLEATOR,Aerial 1080 objector

The drop is on and local objectors tothe use of 1080 poison are again callingon the government to stop thepractice.

On Saturday, a helicopter startedthe pre-drop process with the mainpoison drop believed to be takingplace later this week, weatherpermitting.

Staunch objector to the aerial 1080drop, Rosemary Cleator said she hadnot seen any advertising relating tothe aerial operation.

‘‘It will happen but whether it isbefore or after Labour Weekend, whoknows.’’

Mrs Cleator said it was the wrongtime of year to be doing the poisondrop, as people would be starting tohead into the ranges for recreationalpurposes.

She said the aerial operation isbased at a property in Florida Rd.

‘‘You can’t get near the area wherethe helicopter is being loaded as it is

well off the road and they havesecurity guards there,’’ she said.

Anti-1080 campaigners areadamant that while the drop isintended to bring TB infectedpossums under control, other nativespecies and domestic livestock sufferthe consequences, with deadcarcasses and poison drift getting intowaterways.

Mrs Cleator said there was enoughinformation on 1080 poison availablefor people to read and urged people tojoin the anti-1080 movement and getthe practice stopped.

Tourists with amessageBy PETER FRANKLIN

lvn231013pjfwalk

PACKED AND READY:Rose Lanman andTommaso Lizzi arewalking the 3054km fromthe northern tip of NewZealand to the south andspreading a concerningmessage on the way.

Italian Tommaso Lizzi and AustralianRose Lanman are among the thousandsof tourists who visit New Zealand toembrace the country’s beauty.

But they come with a message: ‘‘Thisis a beautiful country, don’t let thecorporate dollar turn it into awasteland,’’ Mr Lizzi said.

The pair stayed in Levin on Thursdaynight and were back on the road brightand early Friday, trekking into theranges again and the spectacular viewsfrom Te Araroa track.

Mr Lizzi said a lot of visitors like themfear coastal and seabed mining and opencast mining in general will have a huge

environmental impact on the countryand the coastal wild life that could neverbe repaired. To support New Zealandersopposed to what he calls the coastaldestruction, he became a member ofKiwis Against Seabed Mining.

In 2004, as the Labour Government’sForeshore and Seabed legislation firstcame into being, a wave of prospectingpermits were issued to severalcompanies hoping to exploit the ironsand reserves in the west coast seabed.

Raglan was the first to react, due to aunique relationship between iwi and thelocal community. Experienced oceanfolk, including surfers and fishers ,immediately recognised the threat to theentire west coast posed by the scale of

potential miningoperations.

They were stunnedat the lack of regulationor standardssurrounding theproposals and realisedit would be up to themto protect theirbackyard. KASM grewas a response to thatwave.

KASM is a vehicle tohelp coastal residentsto learn about anycurrent and futureproposals and toillustrate the deeppublic opposition tosuch operations.

TRAVEL TIPS:Helping peoplepick the rightholiday is not onlywork for, left, PamHarding andRachel Marshall, itis their passion inlife.

Enthusiastic travel plannersBy PETER FRANKLIN

Everyone looks forward to planning andgoing on holiday, whether it’s a trip to oneor more of the fantastic destinations inNew Zealand, or looking further afield.

For Rachel Marshall, who leavesUnited Travel at the end of the month, ithas been a 22-year career where she hasbeen able to enjoy the excitement ofplanning a perfect break with her clients.She is leaving the business in the capablehands of Pam Harding, whose enthusiasmfor holiday planning equals Rachel’s.

Since Rachel started in what wasLevin Holidaymakers in 1991, the changeshave been enormous. She said in theoffice they had two computers, noweveryone has one. Bookingsconfirmations were faxed, tickets werefilled out by hand — now it is allelectronic.

She most enjoys the personal contactand recalls when a major volcaniceruption in Iceland disrupted flightsthroughout Europe where she had 15clients stuck. She worked throughout thenight trying to arrange alternative travel.

‘‘When one couple arrived at Los

Angeles, they went to the flight counterand as they spoke to the attendant theirreservations came up on screen — greattiming.’’

Mrs Marshall said she would not beleaving the industry as such, but would beleaving the confines of an office and inbetween her own travel plans would actas a travel broker.

Pam Harding, who becomes the soleowner of United Travel franchise inLevin, says there are some exciting timesahead and her passion for the industry isimmense.

‘‘It is about building a relationship withpeople, she said.

‘‘While some people book their travelarrangement online, what they miss outon is the personal service they get from us.

‘‘If travel plans get disrupted, it is veryhard and at time costs to change flights. Ifyou work through us, with a quick phonecall we can work through the issue — inother words take the stress out of theequation.’’

Mrs Harding said they make planning aholiday fun and add to the excitement withtheir extensive knowledge andunderstanding.

B G Buck Ltd expand serviceinto commercial refrigerationB G Buck Ltd, your well-knownelectrical contractors, have expanded tooffer a further service into the field ofcommercial refrigeration.

Manager Barrie Buck says during his50 years in business, this has alwaysbeen an area of interest but he has beentoo busy within the electrical side of thebusiness to fully commit into otherareas.

Being involved with the supply,installation and servicing of severalmanufacturers of heat pumps and withextra staff who have expertise incommercial refrigeration, it makes goodbusiness sense to run them together.

Barrie says their extra advantagesare having a fully-equipped workshop,the ability to manufacture their own

control equipment to each client’srequirements and to fully install.

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

Barrie also points out the company’s

policy on training and keeping ahead ofan ever-changing industry of productsand technology, together with theirstaff’s dedication and enthusiasm toclients needs.

B G Buck also offers a full back-up

and breakdown service.‘‘If it’s electrical, contact the best that

time has proved.’’

Mara Autotraining is a Private Training

Establishment (PTE) providing Automotive

Pre-Apprenticeship Training.

the need for employers to hire staff that are

interested in the automotive industry and

have shown a commitment to training over

a period of time, this allows employers to

hire staff that are productive in the workshop

at a very early stage and are committed to

the automotive industry, not someone who

thought “it was a good idea” to get “into”

cars because of something they saw in the

movies or on television.

At Mara Autotraining we run Full time coursesthat give the students a basic grounding in awide variety of automotive topics that theyare likely to find in an automotive workshop.

Our full time fee payer course covers 120credits, and runs for 42 weeks; the studentachieves a Certificate in AutomotiveEngineering (level 3)

Mara Autotraining also runs a Free Coursefor 16 to 19 year olds. Some conditions mayapply for entry to this course.

Proud day forWeraroa cricketer

LONG SERVICE: Cricketingstalwart recognised, GlenJohns more than makes thegrade at local cricket club.

By PETER FRANKLIN

It was a humble moment forcricketing stalwart GlenJohns when he was awardedthe inaugural President’sBaggie at a formal event atWeraroa Cricket Club onSaturday.

The event was attendedby more than 75 clubmembers.

Club president GeraldDeCastro said Glen hasgiven 25 years of service andsupport to the club on and offthe field and still continuedto play cricket at a highstandard.

‘‘Known by most as‘Johnsy’, he is an all-roundgood man and deserves thisaward. He is what all clubguys should aspire to belike,’’ Mr DeCastro said.

Other senior A cricketerswho met strict criteria werealso recognised andpresented with baggies fromclub sponsor Hayden Yates,owner of fitness centreShape Shifters.

Weraroa were beaten by19 runs by long-time rivalsLevin Old Boys inSaturday’s senior A cricketone-day competition atDonnelly Park.

Old Boys set a reasonabletarget of 192 with openerNick O’Brien (52) providinga solid platform for his team.Old Boys were 147-9 before SKerehoma combined withthe young D Kennet in apartnership of 45 for the lastwicket.

James South was the pickof the Weraroa bowlers,taking 5-27.

In the chase, Weraroawere in control at 76-3 withWade Anderson (45) lookingcomfortable at the crease.

The master stroke forLevin came when captainMike Rameka gave the ballto fifth change bowlerK.McGill.

McGill took 6-35 in whatwas a match-winningperformance for Levin OldBoys.

Levin Old Boys win backthe Reade-De Castro Cupwhich is on the linewhenever the teams meet.
