Ohau Wines has won the pres-tigious Best White Wine trophyat the 2014 Korea Wine Chal-lenge for a second time in threeyears. This year it was thewinerys Woven Stone PinotGris that impressed the judges,including US MasterSommelier Evan Goldstein andinternational wine journalistand consultant Denis Gastin.

Judged on flavour, aroma,balance and appearance, thewinning white was one of 560wines entered from 16 differentcountries at the 10th KoreaWine Challenge, used as aplatform to select the bestwines for the growing Koreanmarket. Other New Zealandproducers competing wereSileni Estate,WhitehavenWineCompany, and Mud HouseEstate.

Ohau Wines general mana-ger Donna Riley said thewinery may be one of thesmaller, lesser-knownvineyards, but it has been pro-ducing consistently high qual-ity wine since it was founded in2006. Pinot Gris and SauvignonBlanc are its two signaturegrape varieties, marketedunder the Ohau Gravels andWoven Stone wine labels.China is the winerys largestexport market by volume, withestablished markets inMalaysia, Singapore,Cambodia, The Philippines,Taiwan, Hong Kong, Japan,

Indonesia, Korea, Australiaand New Zealand.

We are really proud of whowe are, where we come fromand how we challenge thenorms, said Ms Riley. Weoperate a vineyard, wovenaround a residential subdiv-ision in an unrecognised wineregion. We were told so manytimes that it couldnt be doneand we were crazy but here weare six years later producingaward winning wines. The glo-

bal wine market is highly com-petitive and this is the secondtime in three years that wevepicked up the best white awardat the Korean Challenge twoout of three aint bad.

Ohau Wines marketingmanager Ashleigh Le Gal saidtheir aim was to surprise anddelight wine lovers the worldover. She said this years 550tonnes of grapes harvested wasa bumper crop and promised tobe the best vintage yet.

Our wines were recentlyselected in Germany by mastersommelier Hendrik Toma andmade the finals of WinestarsWorld, the Dragons Den of thewine world. One judgecommented that Europe wasready for another wine fromNew Zealand that wasnt Marl-borough Sauvignon Blanc.

This bodes well for thewinery, with its focus ontargeting the UK and Canadianmarkets this year.

YOUR VIEWS

Halal killingPersonally, I love the taste of roast chicken;Turks Poultry in Foxton produces chickensin accordance with Islamic law (Sharia)after having undergone a rigorous auditfrom the Federation of Islamic Associationsof New Zealand (FIANZ).

They have employed Muslimslaughterers who praise Allah every timethey cut the throat of a chicken while facingMecca; they have built a mini-mosque forthe Muslim workers to pray in. They pay afee to FIANZ for the privilege of producingchickens for Muslim consumption.

Turks will not label their products ashalal (lawful for Muslims); in addition tocost, another cock-sure reason given wasthat they expect that some people would nolonger buy their product if labelled as halal.

In contrast, we have a local restaurantthat proudly displays its Tegal halal certifi-

cate on their premises.The Tegal chicken plant in New Ply-

mouth supplies most of the North Island,Tegal also has refused to label their pro-ducts.

Kiwis are not keeping abreast of thesechanges. Ignorance is no excuse for layingout our nation to an Islamic pecking order.Making food products halal is strategic totaking over a nation. The Muslims arefeathering their nest and are working onhatching the next stage in the Islamisationof theWest.

They are spurred on to demand morerights whenwe say nothing.

Every nation that has submitted to theyoke (yolk) of Islam has ended up denyingfundamental freedoms to non-Muslims.

I do notmean to brood, but is anyone elsecrowing about this issue, or is everyone justplaying chicken?

KENRIDDLEShannon

REPLY:Ron TurkManaging DirectorTurks Poultry FarmTurks is one of the largest employers in

the area with 190 staff. We are like a leagueof nations with staff from throughout theworld, but employ locals whenever pos-sible. If I want someone to work for me if Ican accommodate them, we can enjoy avariety of people. We do have a prayer matavailable in our sick room. If employees ofany ethnic or religious group want to usethat room for their beliefs, whatever theymay be, they are welcome. I dont see thisas an issue.

There is no legal requirement to displayhalal on products, red meat on the NewZealandmarket halal killed is not labelled.

NZSuperanuationWith 2014 being election year it is inevit-able that the subject of NZ Super will behighlighted during the election campaignwith the possibility of the age beinggradually raised from the current 65 yearsof age to 70 years of age, possibly over afive-year period.

NZ Citizens receiving NZ Super reallyhave no control over the administration andpayment of NZ Superannuation, once quali-fied by age the NZ Super is deposited in theSuperannuant's bank account after a taxdeduction which is rather ironic as therecipient of NZ Super will in all probabilityhave paid income tax over a working life ofbetween 40 and 50 years.

The payment of tax on NZ Super is onlypart of the outgoings as all recipients payGST on their purchases including food,petrol, electricity and gas accounts plusmedical and pharmaceutical services, dentaltreatment, property rates (a tax on a tax),legal fees and public transport costs outsidethe Super Gold Card time frame.

While NZ Super recipients continue topay tax up until the they are no longer alivea considerable percentage of the populationmake little or no contribution to theGovernment's Consolidated Fund.

This particular group consists of youngpeople dropping out of college with limitededucational qualifications together withunemployed adult males and females withminimal work skills.

All are consumers, whether young,middle aged or old, each particular groupuse public services provided by the Terri-torial Local Authority and are therefore acharge on the District Ratepayer.

From a community awareness aspect, itis just as well that advocacy groups exist forolder citizens, such as Greypower and AgeConcern, without these groups NZSuperannuants would certainly be part ofthe socalled silent majority .

Moving forwardOver the past week the Horowhenua com-munity had the opportunity to hear theHorowhenua District Council chief execu-tive David Clapperton and the HorowhenuaDevelopment Board chairman Cam Lewisexpress their visions and aspirations for ourDistrict at two separate public meetings.

Unfortunately, there were no local mediaat either of these meetings to report back tothe public of the district indicating that the

biggest hurdle to overcome, if economicdevelopment is ever to take root in theHorowhenua, is that we desperately needactive, fulltime professional reporting and alocal daily newspaper.

Our current issues of once and twice aweek have taken on the suspect image ofjunkmail.

Mr Clapperton, at the Grey Powermembers meeting on Friday June 20,highlighted the need for a change in theculture within our council. It is a multi-million dollar business with no oppositionand it has an obligation to serve theratepayers and the communities in Horo-whenua.

Mr Cam Lewis at the Ratepayers PublicAGM meeting on Saturday June 21highlighted the need to promote economicdevelopment covering five basic goals overthe next year key business sectorexcellence, best use of natural resources(Class 1 land), focused infrastructural policy,workforce skills and living in prosperity.

It was apparent from the comments andquestions asked by attendees andanswered respectively by the chief executiveand the chairman of the development board that there needs to be a change in culturethroughout the district if its going to haveany growth in the business field andpopulation. Both Mr Clapperton and MrLewis mentioned the possibility of encour-aging people to move or set up business inHorowhenua was high on their priorities. Itwas suggested that to do this; the districtneeds to have better rail transport to andfrom Wellington and Palmerston North, aswe cannot rely on transit to progress withthe road of significance happening in thenear future.

Consequently our district is only going tomove forward if the rural sector and theurban sector unite and work together; wecan no longer oppose each other when itcomes to allowing elected representatives(board of directors) to play one off againstthe other.Wemusthave aunited voicewhenit comes to tourism and economic develop-ment, and enhancing the core infrastructurethroughout the District.

Ideas put forwardto boost Connection

GDN260614capital

CAMPAIGNER: Lila Matheson is committed to reinvigorating the Capital Connection service.PHOTO:DALEWICKEN

By DALEWICKEN

APalmerstonNorthwoman iscampaigning for theamalgamation of the PalmerstonNorth train station and nationalbus depot, saying that doing sowould benefit both services.

LilaMatheson has beenresearching the CapitalConnection for six years and hassurveyed hundreds of peopleabout what they think could bedone to resurrect the dwindlingservice.

Her research led to the idea ofjoining the two public transportservices which proved popularwith those surveyed.

Its a no-brainer really, rate-payerswont have to pay foranother site now that Pitt Streethas been sold andmore peoplewould use the train. Theinfrastructure is there, thebuilding just needs to beupgraded and loved again.

The Capital Connection hasbeenmaking an annual loss of$500,000 in recent years despiteprice hikes and is set to end nextyear unless passenger numbers

rapidly increase.Moving the busdepot to the train station andgiving the building a facelift willhelp the service become popularagain and bringmore tourists toour city,MsMatheson says. Thetrain station isnt verywelcoming and if its the firstthing some people see of our city,it needs to be awelcomingfacility.

At present, there are nobathroom or food facilitiesoffered to passengers of theConnection or theNorthernExplorerwhich also stops inPalmerstonNorth.

A cafe at the stationwouldalso benefit TremaineAvenuebusinesses and the park nextdoor, which frequently hostssports events,MsMathesonexplained. She presented heridea to the city council in asubmission recently but said thecouncillors were non-committal.

Labour this week confirmedits commitment to saving theCapital Connection throughfunding it on a similar basis toother commuter services.

Focus on oral health of young peopleMidCentralHealths Child andAdolescentOralHealth Service representatives fromacross-section of groups attended ameetingatHorowhenuaHealthCentre recently toshare ideas to improve the oral health ofadolescents.

Figures show, as at 2012, the percentageof adolescents in theMidCentral regionusing theOralHealth Servicewas justbelow the 85 per cent target.

Preschool andAdolescentOralHealthco-ordinatorMahashweta Patel aims tobuild relationshipswith organisationswho

workwith adolescents.She hopes to develop strategies in

collaboration to reduce poor oral healthamong adolescents and improve thenumber of adolescents attending theirdental appointments.

InNewZealand dental care is free formost people until the age of 18.

Regular dental visits are essential forthemaintenance of healthy teeth andgums. The servicewants children to use itservices an early age, andkeep engagedthroughout their adolescence.

Vandalism, including graffiti is not a newphenomenon, and is something that has notbeen amajor problem for Levin police forsometime. Several incidents over the lastweek, however, have raised concernwithlocal police.

Two separate areas have been the targetfor vandals, and appear to be unrelated.

An offender or offenders have beenslashing property in the north easterncorner of Levin, aroundFairfieldRoad andKennedyDrive. During theweek offendersenteredFairfield School and slashedweather curtains,whichhelp protectchildren from the elements during breaks orconducting activities.

CCTV footage shows three youngmalesin the school grounds and police enquiriesare continuing.

Also during theweek, side curtains on anumber of trucks parked onKennedyDrivehave also been slashed, causing thousands ofdollarsworth of damage.

Inwhat are thought to be unrelatedincidents, someonehas also set fire toseveral letterboxes in theQueenStreet EastandDentonRoad areas.

The closeness of these two incidentssuggests the same offender or offenders areresponsible.

Policewould like to hear fromanyonewhomayhave information, anonymously ifrequired, by phoningLevinPolice, (06)

366-0500, orCrimestoppers on0800 555 111.

Idiotic behaviourcontinues as atheme thisweek astwoyouths agedabout 16 years of agewere seen in thegrounds ofHorowhenuaCollege at about

9pmonWednesday June 18.It appears theywere trying to shoot out

lightswith a pistol, probably aBBgun,andwere disturbed by badminton playersleaving the school gym.They left in thedirection of Bath Street. Carryingfirearms of any description in public isstupid andunlawful, and could lead tomore serious consequences.

Police always take informationconcerning firearms seriously and thethought of being tasered, orworse, doesnot bare thinking about.Not to be outdonein terms of stupidity, a vehiclewasstopped by police onSaturdaynight inLevin.

Driving the vehiclewas a very drunkyoung lady,whohadher licencesuspended for 28 days andwill facecharges in theDistrict Court. Ironically,the owner of the car,who is fully licensedandwas sober,was in the passenger seat.To add insult to injury, his carwasimpounded.

Clarinet quintet to playTheWaikanaeMusic Societys concert onSunday July 6 features a programme thatis sure to delight with two of the alltimechambermusic favourites, the ClarinetQuintets byMozart and Brahms,presented by the Dalecarlia ClarinetQuintet, on tour fromSweden. These twoworks are the greatest clarinet quintetseverwritten andWaikanae is lucky to bethe only centre on the ensembles tour tohave both of thesewonderful works onthe programme.

TheDalecarlia Clarinet Quintetfeatures the outstanding youngNewZealand clarinettist AnnaMcGregor.

Anna completed her undergraduatedegree at AucklandUniversity beforemoving to Sweden to further her studiesat the Royal College ofMusic inStockholm, where she became the first-ever recipient of a special full-feesscholarship for a non EU studentprovided by the Swedish government.

There is only one of these scholarshipsavailable in any one year, andAnna hasbeen honoured to have received it for twoyears in a row.

With fellow student violinist, SofieSunnerstam, Anna formed theAntithesisQuintet. Plans to tour that quintet to NewZealandwere dashedwhen one of theperformers suffered a strain injury butnow, joined by three principal stringplayers from the Swedish orchestra theDalasinfoniettan, they are continuingtheir tour as the Dalacarlia ClarinetQuintet.

One of these players is Kiwi violinistManuBerkeljon, originally from theWestCoast and now associate principal 2ndviolin in the Dalasinfonietten. The otherperformers are violist AndersNoren, co-principal viola with the Dalasinfoniettanand Tomas Blanchwho is principalcellist with the Dalasinfoniettan.

By PETER FRANKLIN

Aspart of theGateWayprogramme,Horowhenua studentsCloeYates andMariahWebber settled into aweek ofhelpingHorowhenuaNeighbourhoodSupport co-ordinatorWendyForemanbut,more importantly, theyhad the chance tofind out first-hand the important partneighbourhood support has in crimeprevention and civil emergencies.

MsForeman said itwas a pleasure tohave the two girlswork in the office, and toshare the value of the support system.

Cloe (15) andMariah (14) said they didnot realisewhatwas involved andnowhada greater appreciation of thework that goeson in the background.

WhileworkingwithMsForeman they

helpedupdate the officemap showing all ofthe neighbourhood groups, their locationand street co-ordinators.

I hope the girls have learnt theimportance ofwhatwe do andwhywedo it. . . and spread theword, get their parentsandneighbours to set up a street group ifthey dont have one already,MsForemansaid.

One of the great things the organisationhas achieved in recent years is theintroduction of junior neighbourhoodsupport in schools.

Ifwe can get kids interested andinvolved at an early age, the safe homeandfamilymessagewill staywith them for life.

It is not about catching criminals ,it isabout keeping our communities safe, nomatterwhat situation arises.

Muaupoko CEMessageThere can be nothing more rewarding than leadinga proactive Iwi organisation that is focussed onbuilding a better future for its people. As the newlyappointed Chief Executive I have set a number ofpersonal and organisational goals for MuaupokoTribal Authority.My focus is to consolidate our current servicecapability by operating high quality healthand whanau ora packages for our people. Ourinvolvement in this area is critical because weknow our people are far more likely to present to akaupapa based organisation like ours than a sterilenon Maori environment.However, we also need to look beyond our socialservice model and invest in developing ourwhanau, hapu and iwi asset base. As a first step Ihave realigned our internal structure to ensure thatit is fit for purpose heading forward. I anticipate thereorganisation process to be complete by the endof July.The Treaty settlement negotiations process iscritical to setting a future plan for our peoplebecause it will return an asset base that willallow us to rebuild our iwi identity. MTA will notnecessarily be that structure but it will certainlylay the foundations for any post settlementgovernance entity that will be in place to receivethose assets.I look forward to meeting with our people overthe coming weeks and months. I encourage youto participate in the information hui that are beingheld so that you can be part of shaping our future.

Muaupoko negotiations tocontinueThe Muaupoko Tribal Authority continues to urgeall Muaupoko descendants to unite and participatein the direct Treaty settlement negotiations aftertheWaitangi Tribunal cleared the way for the Iwi tocontinue on its current pathway late yesterday.TheWaitangi Tribunal dismissed an urgencyapplication by some Muaupoko to halt thenegotiations process to settle the tribesoutstanding historical claims with the Crown.The applicants claimed that MTA did not have asufficient mandate to negotiate with the Crownand that the process followed by the Crown torecognise that mandate was flawed.MTA Chair LouanaWilliams said the Tribunalsruling vindicates the MTAs position and believesthe time has come for those sitting outside the tentto put aside their personal issues and get involvedin the direct negotiations pathway.Our claim has been registered with theWaitangiTribunal for 26 years, there has been very littleprogress for our people all this time.We simplycannot afford to wait around for Tribunal to get itsact together any longer. The Crown recognised ourmandate to negotiate in September 2013 whichwas supported by the vast majority of Muaupokodescendants and we owe it to our people to forgeahead in this process, said MsWilliams.The MTA has taken a proactive stance andhas hosted a number of information hui andworkshops to allow Muaupoko descendants to

have a say in shaping its negotiations strategy.MsWilliams said they have been very successfulbecause they have allowed grass roots iwimembers to have a say.These hui are not simply about Treaty negotiationsthey are about shaping the future of Muaupokoand ensuring that we are doing the best for all ofour people, she said.The work will continue and we welcome inputfrom all Muaupoko descendants including thosewho oppose our position. The door has never beenclosed and we will keep it open, said MrsWilliams.All enquiries to come through to Candyce Taylor atthe Muaupoko Tribal Authority on 06 3673311.

FORMERHorowhenuaCollege student Josh Davieshas not let a sight impairmentstand in his road, he playssport and follows his passion,studying dinosaurs at Otagouniversity.

Being visually impaired didntstop Levins JoshDavies fromplaying hockey atHorowhenua College, so its nosurprise hes not letting aUniversity of Otagoscholarship, fulfilment of alifelong passion for dinosaursor a chance for a years studyin England, pass him byeither.

Fully blind in his left eyeand 6/36 in his right, Josh hasreceived a University of Otago$5000 Alumni DisabilitySupport Scholarship, offeredto first-year students whohave demonstrated academicability and financial need.

The scholarship assistswith his accommodation orfees costs while he cultivateshis interests in palaeontology,the study of fossils.

I never grew out of thekids-liking-dinosaurs stage,Josh said. But since then Ihave got into the scienceaspect. Im doing a degree inGeology. Last year I camedown to Dunedin as part of aHands-On Scienceweek atOtago, visited the campusGeologyMuseumand foundthe University is strong inGeology.

Im planning to do astudent exchange next year toBristol University in England.You pay yourOtago fees anddo the Bristol course and itgets attributed to yourOtagodegree. Bristol is two hoursfromwheremymums familylives. You have to have a B+average to be eligible for theexchange, and so far thatsgoing not too bad.

Josh said his visualimpairment had notnoticeably affected his studiesthanks to Otagos wide-ranging supportmechanisms.

Theyre really good. I getto download slides for lecturesbeforehand and I takemylaptop to all my classes. Onelecture is podcast, but I go tothe classes or theres a chance

Imay procrastinate aboutlistening to it. If I have a test, Iclear it with the courseadvisor about takingmymagnifying glass in and allthat, theyre pretty cool aboutit.

I enjoy it. My lecturesdont start till 11am, so thats abonus. There is amuchwiderrange of subjects to choosefrom compared to school; itswhat I want to do, rather thanbeing told you need to do thisand you can do that.

Weve done lots of fieldtrips; to NorthOtago, out on tothe Taieri Plains, to thePortobello Research Centre ontheOtago Peninsula, andweve gone out to the entranceof OtagoHarbour on theUniversitys Polarismarineresearch vessel.

Josh is also enjoyingDunedin city, takingwalksthrough the town,experiencing its eclecticweather.

Youwalk into a lecture,its pouringwith rain. Youcome out, its sunny.

Rainbow Parish brings Ratana vision to Horowhenua

VISION:ErimanaTaniora andCharlesRoyals vision for aRatanaChurch inHorowhenuawill becomea realitywith the official openingoftheRainbowParishheld at TeTakereonSunday. PHOTO:TANYAWOOD

RATANA CHURCH HISTORYTahupotiki Wiremu Ratana came to prominence as a powerfulMaori spiritual leader and faith healer, founding a religiousmovement and heading a pan-tribal unity movementcampaigning for social justice and equality based on the Treatyof Waitangi.Born on 25 January 1873 at Te Kawau, near Bulls, Ratana said hesaid he received a divine visitation on 8 November 1918 urginghim to unite Maori under Ihoa o nga Mano (Jehovah of thethousands).By the 1920s a shanty town had sprung up on the Ratana farmsouth-east of Whanganui later named Ratana Pa. OnMay 311925 Ratana declared the existence of a separate church, TeHaahi Ratana, formally registered on July 21 1925.The Ratana Church embraces other Christian denominations andexpresses tolerance towards other faiths. Its central book is theBible, although the Blue Book, written in Maori and containingprayers and hymns (many composed by Ratana), is used in allchurch services. In the early 2000s the Ratana Church was thelargest Maori denomination in New Zealand, with a 2006membership of 50,565.Source: www.teara.govt.nz

Levinwill have its own parishforMorehuHaahi Ratanacongregation of the RatanaChurch the first inmanyyears, with the official openingof the Rainbow Parish onSunday.

Rainbow Parish bringstogether the vision of twomen,Erimana Taniora fromWhangaroa, now living inLevin, and Charles Royal,originally fromLevin, leadingthe weekly services.

Mr Royal, an apotoro wairuaor spiritual leader in the RatanaChurch, said it would be theonly parish in the region thatcatered for Te IwiMaori, withservices conducted inMaori andEnglish.

We are here tomake adifference.When people leavethe whakamoemiti (service), wewant them to leave feelinghealthier, stronger, wiser anduplifted.Wewant them have apurpose and direction in life, tobe the best they can be and notsettle for anything less.

Mr Royal, in the process ofmoving down fromAuckland,said the catalyst for originally

moving back to Levin was to feelcloser to his late wife and son,both buried in the familycemeteryRaumatangi urupainMoutere Rd.

When I saw there was noestablished parish here, Istarted doing some investigatingand eventually hooked upwithErimana, an akonga (leader/

disciple) who sharedmy visionfor Horowhenua.We are awareof the plight of manyMaori inthe region and our parish isopen to them and anyone elsewhowishes to come along. Naumaihaeremai, everyone iswelcome.

WHELBYWHELBY

LAMBLAMBTHETHE

We have a new addition at Kerer Childrens Learning Centre Whelby the lamb.After much thought his name was chosen because he loves to snuggle up for sleeps beneaththe wheelbarrow, so the children thought Whelby was perfect. Each day we go out intothe paddock to feed him a bottle because his Mum had triplets and cant look after themall. Each child is given the opportunity to feed him, and for many of the children this hasbeen the rst time they have experienced this type of activity.

Another exciting event happening at Kerer is Puanga (or Matariki, the M ori New Year).To celebrate this the children are going to make a yummy vegetable soup and RewenaParaoa and share it with their Grandparents when they visit us on Friday. The children willalso learn some things about what it was like for their Grandparents growing up such asdid they learn different songs and games, and what were their favourite stories and toys.

Rleyah Hill is assisted by her big cousin Sean Ebbuttto feed Whelby his morning bottle. Helen (the HeadTeacher) reminds them to tilt the bottle so Whelbycan drink easily. Keeping an eye on everyoneare Keanu (the rooster) and Korowai (the chicken).

If you would like your child to experience activities such as these, in a small family-friendly centre, please give us a call on 36889593688959 and come out for a visit. Remember,we offer all 3-5 year olds 30 HOURS FREE each week, andhave a bus service which makes daily trips to both Levinand Shannon, picking up children in the morning anddropping them home again in the afternoon.

Hope for river loop campaigners

LVN120614fwloop

NOT a nice place to be, but hopefully not formuch longer.

By FRANKIEWEBB

Over 30 years of lobbyingmay bea step closer to paying off forFoxton residents.

The unsavouryManawaturiver loop could soon have acomplete turnaround to becomethe lifeblood of Foxton, botheconomically andrecreationally.

While its old news Save OurRiver Trust and other localorganisations would like to seethe grimey, greenwaterwaybecome permanently pristine, itis renewed hope with theannouncement HorizonsRegional Council havesupported a recommendation toform a committee workingparty.

Submissionsmade toHorizons Regional Councilearlier thismonth didnt exactlyreceive the thumbs up, but a

recommendationwasunanimously accepted for thedevelopment of a committeeworking party. The committeewill bemade up of twomembers

from each organisation SaveOur River Trust, HorowhenuaDistrict Council, FoxtonCommunity Board andHorizonsRegional Council.

Annual Plan in placeHorizons Regional Councillorshave adopted the 2014/15 AnnualPlan that outlines theworkHorizonswill do in the yearahead tomanage its land, air andwater resources andwhat it willcost.

The average rate increaseacross the Region, excludingthosewho are affected by theone-off payment to upgrade theLowerWhanganui floodprotection scheme, is 4.52 percent andwill vary dependingwhere people live and the level ofservice they receive, saidHorizons ChairmanBruceGordon.

Wewere really impressed bythe number and quality ofsubmissionsmade to Council

this year. After listening tofeedback from the communitywehave amended some areas of theplan.

Within the changes the LowerWhanganui flood protectionscheme costs are to be partfunded from councils 2013-14projected surplus, alongside aone year rates payment fromWanganui ratepayers.

The living heritage activitybudget has been restored to2012/13 levels due to a $46,000increase, with a proportioncoming from general reserves.The Rangitikei EnvironmentalGroupwill also receive anadditional $10,000 for theincreasing level of work they dotowards pest plantmanagement.

Dutch courage gets tram cafe back in businessHORSE TRAMHOMEFoxtons horse tram is goingnowhere. It has been housed atthe Horsetram Station sincearriving in Foxton.We have an arrangement withHorowhenua District Council,said reinsman JimWhite.When the building came up forlease, I believe it was on theunderstanding we would bestaying.DeMolenWindmill Trust, whohave taken over lease of thebuilding welcome the horsetramwhich has been a part ofFoxton since 1988. A team ofhorses and the horsedrawntram, built on a truck chassis,were created in Dunedin underthe sponsorship of Speights.In 1988, when the sponsorshipfinished, the tram and horseswere offered to Foxton for atourist attraction.The Foxton Tourist andDevelopment Associationbought and operated it. Justover two years ago The FoxtonHorse Tram SocietyIncorporated was formedtaking up the reins and all thatis attached to them.

Were hoping to be up andrunning by the first week ofOctober, Mr Feyen said.

The historic tram stationbuilding had been successfullyoperating as a cafe.

We are planning a completemakeover, it will be veryvibrant, he said, withoutgiving toomuch away.

The building belongs toHorowhenua District Council,fromwhich the DeMolenTrust has secured a long-termlease.

We plan to be here for thelong-haul, the trust is aboutgetting people into paid work,promoting the town, making it agreat place to come to, MrFeyen said.

We believe the Dutch Ovenwill make a huge contributionto that end.

The trust already operates a

retail business, the DutchMarket, initially manned byvolunteers and now employingstaff.

All the moneymade by themarket, the mill and soon thecafe, goes back into the trust formaintenance etc.

PROUD TO SUPPORTTHE FOXTON COMMUNITY.


LOOKING BACKLocal historian and retiredteacher Tony Hunt continueswith the fascinating history ofFoxton.

Opening ofFoxtons TeWaioracommunityhealthcentremakes areview ofthe town'smedicalhistory seems appropriate. Lastmonths history coveredFoxtons more recentmedicalpractitioners.

Thismonthwe look at thepioneering doctors who caredfor the growing population.Foxtons first doctor arrived inthe 1840s, his story is short butinteresting.

Hewas a nephew of CaptFrancis Robinson and there hasbeen a suggestion he was outhere as a remittanceman.

Dr James Best served thedistrict for only a few yearsbefore his untimely death in1850. It is said he had delivered ababy in Otaki and on his returnhome got very wet whencrossing theManawatu River onhis horse.

This led to the development ofa fever that he self-treated withlaudanum, an opium-basedremedy. Hemay haveoverdosed, and the treatmentdidn't work and he passed way.He is interred in IhakaraGardens. His headstone readsSacred to thememory of JohnMaitland Best, Surgeon, whodied Novr.3rd. 1850. DeeplyRegretted. Aged 32 years.

Foxton did not have aresident doctor formany years.The next we have records of isDr John Batten Smith. Hewasappointedmedical officer to theManawatuMaori in 1863 andtook up residence in Foxton.

He served here until 1872,retired toMarton, but passedaway in 1873. He was followed byDr John Rockstrow that year.Rockstrow had been trained at aGerman university, unlike Bestand Smith who seem to have gottheirmedical knowledgethrough army service.

Rockstrow left forPalmerstonNorth in 1886.

As is the case today it washard to get doctors to come tosmall towns. In 1900 the townoffered 200 and the ForrestersLodge 60 to try to attract adoctor.Will themedical centredo the trick for us today?

FoxtonArt Societymemberand experienced artist GlendaPaul coached a group of 8 to 13year oldswith a focus ondrawing techniques in penciland charcoal.

Art is not just colouring in orpainting, it is used in somanycareer paths, Glenda said.

Different elements of art areused by architects, designers,fashion, signwriters, medicalprofession, book illustration,desk top publishing, engineersand the list goes on.

At the end of the course thestudents commented on howtheywould applywhat theydlearnt but it wasnt just thestudents who gained from thecourse.

VALHayes has been amemberof the Foxton Beach CommunityCentre for decades andwasinvolved in the 25th Anniversarycelebrations.

THANK YOUThe committee of the FoxtonBeach Community Centre wouldlike to thank all the past andpresent volunteers for all theirhard work and dedication inkeeping this vital service to thelocal communities of FoxtonBeach and Foxton going for 25years.We are proud the medicalshuttle service is still beingmaintained after all theseyears.Well done to all. The committee, FoxtonBeach Community Centre.

Initially formed in 1989 as theFoxton Beach Health andWelfare Committee, a group ofbeach residents came togetherto discuss ways to introducemedical and other services, aswell as transport to and fromessential services, into theFoxton Beach area.

They received a grant of$28,000 fromHorowhenuaDistrict Council to commissiona purpose-built facility.

A garage shell was built onthe corner of the Village green,a small kitchen was added andthe interior decorated by

volunteers, finished withdonated furniture. This was thebeginning of what has becomethe Foxton Beach CommunityCentre.

In 2004 a roomwas added foruse bymedical professionalssuch as the Plunket Nurse, BestCare Nurse, Footcare etc.

A shuttle service wasestablished 25 years, one of thevery first health shuttleservices in New Zealand. Sinceits inception volunteer crewhave kept all the servicesrunning like a well oiledmachine five days a week, doingthe donkey work entirely free ofcharge.

We are proud to be entrusted with the design ofTE WAIORA at Foxton

BRUCE Barry, the man behind the design of Foxtons new medical centre.

TE WAIORA

The architect of Foxtons newmedical centre,Bruce Barry, said itwas a pleasure to beinvolvedwith the project. The design aspectwas challenging, as the brief requirements hewas given emphasised a newconcept inhealth centre layout, a big step away from thetraditional doctors surgery environment.

Mr Barry said hewas pleased the TeWaioradesign achieves all that the design briefspecified andmore.Mr Barry said the designspecificationswere different and reflects thenewhealthmodel, that features a centralreception area surroundedby12 consultationrooms, amain and two smallwaiting areas.

Mr Barry said, in this day and agewherethere is a nationwide shortage of GPs, nurseshave a bigger role to play in the delivery ofcommunity health, no longerwill clinicianshave a set consultation room, patients areallocated a room togo to and theGPor nurse

moves fromone consultation room to thenext.

The interior design is freeflowing andpeople-friendly, the aimof the exterior designwas to beboth attractive andwelcoming.

Mr Barry believes it reflects a degree ofcultural sensitivity, thewings formingopenarms to all thosewho enter the building.

He said the other factorwas to ensure thatitwas futureproof, in that as the community

grew the centre could be expanded to caterfor the increased in population.

Mr barry said the design allowed forexpansion to take place on three sides of thebuildingwithout the need to remove the roof,or anymajor disruption to the day-to-dayoperation.

I think the centre is a sign of things tocome for Foxton,modern andprogressive, hesaid.
