Skills lackingI agree with Katy Hardy (July16) that the Minister of PrimaryIndustries and the Ministry ofPrimary Industries are not up tothe task of monitoring the careand welfare of the animals thatprovide so much for humanbeings in New Zealand, both asfood and as an economicresource.

Initially both the departmentand the minister did not evenwant to see the evidence for theappalling acts of cruelty thatKaty refers to.

Nathan Guy will come out, ofcourse, with the trite commentthat National is bringing in newanimal welfare legislation. Butthe problem is he cannotenforce the current legislation. Iwould not be hopeful, either,about the new legislation.

I gave an oral submission toa select committee on theanimal welfare bill, seemingly ademocratic process.

The trouble with that wasthat I had to listen to thethoughts on animal welfare oftwo members of the committeewhereas I thought I was there togive my view. Needless to saythe two people had conservativereactionary positions on animalwelfare. Given that we are sodependent on animals for ourlife style perhaps the least we

can do for them would be toappoint a Commissioner foranimal welfare and give thework of monitoring welfare ofthem to a body that does not alsohave the job of promotingeconomic gain from the keepingof animals.

I believe there are at leastthree political parties opposedto factory farming.

We need to approach allpoliticians now about our viewson this issue.

They are probably morelikely to be open to dialoguewith people before the electionthan after the election.

Electra TrustDid you notice the recentelection of Trustees for theElectra Trust? For each ofthese five nominees therewere 20 beneficiaries whosupported their nomination.

You will never know whothese 100 people are.

On Friday at the ElectraTrust 2014 annual meeting inParaparaumu we can changethat. Item number nine on theagenda is a notice of motiontabled at last year’s annualmeeting for this purpose. Thevote will be taken by thosewho choose to attend. Therewill not be a postal ballot onthis item.

The resolution is: “Thatthe nomination forms,including seconders, be madeavailable to a beneficiaryfollowing a written request.”Judy Keall, who has served asa trustee for nine years,seconded this..

Do you agree that thesenames should be madeavailable? Every localauthority in New Zealandmust supply this informationif it is requested in writing.Why should the Electra Trustbe any different? The trusteeshave confirmed that the trustdeed does not have anywording which stops thisfrom being done.

I consider it is importantto have transparency in ourlocally owned Electra Trust.If you agree please supportme on Friday.

New boat wash launched tohelp prevent spread of weedBy PETER FRANKLIN

vn300714pjfwash-down

ALL hands on deck for the first official wash-down, left, Horizons Regional Council chief executiveMichael McCartney, Otaki MP Nathan Guy, Horowhenua Mayor Brendan Duffy and Horizons freshwaterand science manager Jon Roygard testing the Lake Horowhenua boat wash-down facility at the end ofQueen Street West, Levin.

‘The weed helps to a certain point by drawing outnutrients, but toomuch weed creates problems.’MATTHEWSWORD

Lake Horowhenua Accord chairman

The Lake Horowhenua boatwash, designed to reduce therisk of further lake weedspecies being introduced to thelake, is now open for use.

Located about 600 metresfrom the lake at the end ofQueen Street in Levin, the boatwash design and constructionwas made possible with $20,000from the lake’s $1.27 millionrestoration fund.

Lake Horowhenua Accordchairman Matthew Sword saidexcessive lake weed is a keyissue and the boat wash willreduce the possibility ofaquatic weed from elsewherebeing transferred into lakeHorowhenua.

“The weed helps to a certainpoint by drawing out nutrients,but too much weed createsproblems.”

Mr Sword said a feature ofthe boat wash is that the soapyand dirty water run-off will gointo the sewerage reticulationand straight to Levin’swastewater treatment plantand not into the stormwatersystem.

A stormwater treatmentsystem for the Queen StreetDrain, the main stormwaterinflow to the lake from Levin’stownship, will be installed.

The overall goal is to makethe lake fit for recreationalpurposes; a better habitat fornative fish, birds and wetlandplants; and improve publicaccessibility to the lake.

A fish pass for the weir inthe Hokio Stream to improvethe link between the lake andthe sea has been designed and

is now being constructed.Once installed it will allow

fish to pass freely and help

increase native fishpopulations in the lake.

This will be a three-stage

project and is necessary toreduce the amount of sedimentand nutrients going into thelake to reduce weed growth,cyanobacteria growth and lakeinfilling.

Work programmes will alsosoon be prepared for installingartificial wetlands andsediment traps to reducenutrient leaching into the lake.

BLUE BEAT REPORTBy COMMUNITYCONSTABLEGRAEME JARVIS

The start of the third school termsees the start of the Cactusprogramme run at WaiopehuCollege. The programme isfacilitated by a group of volunteersincluding teachers and policeofficers, and is designed to promotea range of skills in studentsincluding leadership, self esteem,self discipline and physical fitness.Residents living in the area of thecollege are likely to see a largegroup of student and adults influoro vests pounding thepavement and conducting a rangeof activities on the streets from6.30am each Monday, Wednesdayand Friday.

Last week has seen perhaps the

foggiest drivingconditionsaround thedistrict that Ican remember.Two weeks agoI mentionedwinter drivingconditions, andin particular all

the variations that can occur. Ihave to admit thick fog such as weexperienced this week, was notsomething I had considered,however these conditions requirespecial care and reduced speeds.

I also mentioned the danger offrost on the windscreen for anyvehicles left outside. Unfortunatelya motorist last week was caughtout when a vehicle broke downand was left parked on the street.

When it was time to move thevehicle, the driver only cleared asmall area on the windscreen inwhich to look through, with theinevitable result.

He failed to see a flat deck truckparked correctly ahead, and all butimpaled his vehicle into the backof it. Please take care on the roads,drive to the conditions and, keepyour speed down and watchfollowing distances in adverseconditions. Please also ensureyour vehicle is of a warrantablestandard.

This week has also highlightedthe need to take care whenpurchasing items over theinternet, and in this case viaFacebook. Last week there was aburglary in Levin, where car keyswere found and a vehicle stolen.

The car was advertised onFacebook and an unsuspectingbuyer arranged to purchase thevehicle.

Unfortunately after the dealwas completed, the vehicle wasstopped by police and the origins ofthe car made known to the buyer.He has lost the car and also themoney he paid for it. Police arenow working with the unfortunatebuyer and enquiries are stillcontinuing. Talking of scams andFacebook, yet another version ofan old theme has been brought tomy attention. In the latest case mycaller was effectively groomedover about 3 months, by a personpurporting to be and Englishgentleman.

The punch line coming in theform of a story along the lines of ‘‘I

have sent all my money to NewZealand preceding my visit, but ithas been intercepted in Malaysia.Now $1000 US dollars has to bepaid to release the funds. As I havesent all my money, can you pleasesend the money via WesternUnion.”

Fortunately the caller wassuspicious enough to bring thismatter to my attention. Talkingthrough the circumstances andreading a number of texts received,there were a number of red flags Iwas able to point out.

Spelling and grammar wereclearly not from an ‘Englishgentleman’, the whole story was afairy tale, and right at the end thesuggestion to send money viaWestern Union is another obviousclue. Please be warned.

Wedding dresses goon display in paradeBy FRANKIEWEBB

WEDDING CUSTOMThe custom, which dates to the mid1800’s, is based on an English poem:Something old, something newSomething borrowed, something blueAnd a silver sixpence in her shoe.

Each item refers to a good luck tokenfor a bride.The custom is that if the bride carriesall four items on her wedding day, shewill have a happy marriage.Each verse refers to a good luck item:Something old— continuity with thebride's family and the pastSomething new—optimism and hopefor the bride's new life aheadSomething borrowed— an item froma happily married friend or familymember, whose good fortune inmarriage is supposed to carry over tothe new brideSomething blue—Before the late19th century, blue was a popularcolour for wedding gowns, asevidenced in proverbs like, "Marry inblue, lover be true."

August is family history month and theHorowhenua Heritage Community are notabout to let it go by without sharing some ofthe region’s wonderful history.

Retired teacher Gloy Deadman wasthinking of ways to raise funds for the TeTakere Heritage Community.

“I wanted to incorporate family history,”Mrs Deadman said.

She has had an almost lifelong interest infamily history and co-founded a Levingenealogy group which recognised her witha life membership.

”We are holding a fashion parade with adifference. I chose the title ‘something old,something new, something borrowed,something blue’. Wedding dresses havebeen sourced from throughout theHorowhenua dating back to 1915, there are35 dresses in total. Many of the brides willmodel their own gowns.

“We would still like a few models, size 8 -10, as we have a few dresses which for onereason or another the owner won’t be able towear on the night,” Mrs Deadman said.

She will be in her own frock which wasworn on her special day over 60 years ago,and more recently by her daughter.

Most dresses have a story to tell — somelaced with tragedy — and many will berevealed on the night.

Ballentyne’s Fashion Central willdisplay new season’s fashions suitable forMother of the Bride and guests.

■ The parade is being held at TeTakere onThursdayAugust 21 at 7pm. Tickets are $15 andavailable now fromTeTakere.

Maths lesson put to everyday useBy TANYAWOOD

Maths came out of the classroomand into the supermarket for onegroup of Levin School students.

Maths was made more fun for agroup of Year 4 and 5 studentsselected for the AcceleratedLearning in Mathematics (ALiM),a Ministry of Education fundedprogramme designed to help raiseNational Standards levels.

The seven students were givenan extra 45 minutes of mathstuition each day focusing ondifferent themes, includingdifferent ways of solving problemsand creating connections betweenmathematics and everydayexperiences.

Parents were also encouragedto attend the extra-curricularmaths classes.

Teacher Paulianne Theuma

said the highlight of theprogramme was a morning teaorganised by the students for theirfamilies.

“They had to work out whatthey wanted to have and wentonline to check prices before goingto the principal to ask for the $30they had budgeted for.” She saidstudents had to draw on theirknowledge of measurement(weight), estimating and repeat

addition and multiplication whenshopping. It was really interestingto watch them decide if theycouldn’t afford a particular packetof biscuits and to see what elsethey could get. They knew theycouldn’t exceed their budget. Theyspent just over $25 and asked ifthey could spend the rest on ablock of chocolate but that becamea maths lesson, looking at how toshare it out evenly.”

All seven students have showna marked improvement frommaths tests sat last year and areworking now at the right level fortheir age. “We knew these studentshad the ability but just needed anextra boost,” said Ms Theuma. “Ibelieve that when students figureout they can use mathematics as atool for solving significantproblems, they view it as relevantand an interesting challenge.”

Stroke Central Region Inc,which covers the Horowhenua,is the sole provider of FieldOfficer Support Services tostroke survivors and theirfamilies in the area fromWellington through toWairarapa and SouthernTaranaki.

Although they workalongside the national body,which is the Stroke FoundationOf New Zealand, Central regionis fully self-managed and self-funded. Donations made toStroke Central Region will beused locally, to support thestroke community in this regionwhile donations to the StrokeFoundation NZ will not. “It’simportant people in this regionare aware if they want to support

the local stroke services, it has tocome through our office,” StrokeCentral Region Inc chiefexecutive Grace Moulton toldthe Horowhenua Chronicle.

”But we definitely supportthe call for more funding to bemade available for post strokeservices throughout thecountry.”■ JennyWilton, who is employedby Stroke Central Region, is theField Officer for Horowhenua.Phone: (06) 210 0550Mob: 021962-371

Visit www.strokecentral.org.nzor [email protected],donations can bemailed to StrokeCentral Region, P.O. Box 639,Coastlands, Paraparaumu.

MORE FUNDING SOUGHT FOR STROKE FOUNDATIONThe Stroke Foundation is callingfor more funding for post-strokerehabilitation services. Stroke isthe second single largest killer inNew Zealand (more than 2000people every year), every day 22New Zealanders have a stroke.

There are 56,000 strokesurvivors in New Zealand, many

of whom have disability and needsignificant daily support. If theyreceive the right kind and amountof therapy, many stroke survivorshave the ability to regain mobilityand independence but most arewritten off by the system becauseof insufficient resources.

“Around half of stroke

survivors are disabled to theextent that they are dependent onassistance for daily living,” saidStroke Foundation chiefexecutive Mark Vivian. “Thisplaces a tremendous burden onfamilies and on the state.”

There are an estimated 60,000stroke survivors in New Zealand.

In Time Of SoIn Time Of So

The way children express their grief may be different from adults. It can bespasmodic, so at times they seem 'back to their old selves', while at other timesthey may be extremely withdrawn or angry. Children often try to hide their grieffrom their immediate family to protect them from the pain of seeing them cry. Adultsneed to provide clear and honest answers to children's questions. Be factual andavoid euphemisms like 'passed away' and 'sleeping', because they're meaningless.Worse still, expressions like 'taken away from us' can be frightening for a child. Itis appropriate at the time of death to tell children what is going to happen next. Talkabout the funeral arrangements, and let them know people are likely to call and somewill be upset, even crying. Explain this is normal. Tears are one way of expressinggrief and it's okay to cry. Keep them involved. They may want to see the body, and thisis normal - children should be given the choice. It may help some children to write anote to place in the casket, or leave a flower or card.

WHEN ADULTS GRIEVEEveryone grieves differently.Grief is a natural response to loss in our lives. Grief is a private experience, one thattakes place in the head and heart of an individual. It’s like fingerprints - everyone isunique in the way they experience and express their grief, and each loss is different,just like the different fingers of your hands. There is no right or wrong way to grieve.Men and women often show their grief in different ways, and sometimes find it hard tounderstand or support each other. People of different ages and cultures have differentways of grieving as well.

How does grief feel?Grief is more than just sadness. You may find yourself feeling anyof these things:• Shocked or numb • Angry • Relieved • Depressed or lonely • Resentful• Guilty • Confused or forgetful • Overwhelmed• Frightened or panickyMost people feel grief in their bodies as well, especially in the first weeks. You may feelexhausted, cold, tense and shaky. You may find it difficult to sleep, or feel sick and havetrouble eating. These things are normal, but if you are worried, talk to your doctor.

How long does it take?Grief is more than a series of stages to go through. As time goes by, you find waysto live with your loss, rather than getting over it. If this has been a big loss for you,

The small team arekept busy with motorregistration and driverlicensing transactions —totalling more than 1000 amonth — as well as AAgeneral membershipservices.

Library staffundertake a rigorousthree-month trainingprogramme before theycan be rostered on to thedesk.

There’s a lot to learn,especially on the driverlicencing side of thebusiness. When a learnerdriver begins the processto get a licence AA staffare creating their masteridentity. A driver’slicence is the main form ofidentification used byNew Zealanders , so it is ahuge responsibility forthe staff to make sureeverything is correct.

Linda Johnstone, andher team of three librarystaff, who work with herpart-time, have anexcellent accuracyrecord, often coming nearthe bottom of the monthlyerror list with only one or

two errors out of 700transactions, which iscertainly something to beproud of.

More people are beingtested for drivers’licences since AA serviceshave been in Te Takerewith one permanenttesting day beingincreased to two. Extradays can be added if theyare especially busy andnow there are quite oftenthree of four testing daysa week.

AA services — carowner, motorregistration, road usercharge and number platetransactions, new drivers’licences and renewals,replacements andreinstatements for cars,trucks and motorbikes, as

well as maps and memberservices — are availableduring library hours onweekdays.

Off to France with arefreshing perspectiveMyTwoHeavensby Jo CrabbRandomHouse, $39.99..................................................

At first, I thought this was going to be yetanother book about living in France, butthis is a different and very honestmemoir. It does not gild the lily.Jo Crabb grew up in a family on the

move. Her father worked for the UnitedNations so she saw a lot of the worldwhile growing up. At university inCanterbury shemet her partner, Stephen,also a student, but at art school. Together,they travelled a lot before returning toAucklandwhere Jo worked as a chef,mainly in Ponsonby restaurants. Thenshemoved toMartinborough and openedher own restaurant before the cafe scenehad really reached theWairarapa.At this time, continuing their love

affair with France, they bought a house inMontjaux, a village in the south of France.I think this book is probably amemoir

of Jo’s life centred around her love ofcooking and nicely illustrated by herpartner. It is a bit of a ramble, but itworks. Shemanages to get a recipe inwith each chapter. Some of the recipesinvolve ingredients not everyonewillhave in the pantry, but I would imaginethey are all authentic to the country oforigin. I am not sure about the coq au vinrecipe, with six chicken legs to a bottle ofpinot and a quarter cup of brandy, still Iguess that is how it got the name. I am toomean a cook to use a whole bottle buthave already got my sourdough starteron the way.It is a book about working in

restaurants then owning your own then

what to do if your back lets you down.She obviously never gives up.When thishappened she took herself off to walk theSantiago de Compostela pilgrimageroute, some of it with hermother. Thenshe returned toMartinboroughwhereshe set up a cooking school at the PalliserEstate while continuing with a lifestyleof 10months inMartinborough thenundertaking the 50-hour trip for twomonths inMontjaux.It certainly appears to be an enviable

lifestyle despite the fact that it has notalways been plain sailing. In her ownwords, Jo puts it all down to thedecisions theymade on the way andtheir determination to walk their idletalk. — Margaret Reilly

New computers aboost for studentsBy TANYAWOOD

Students at Horowhenua Adult LiteracyServices started the new term on a highnote with a new computer suite forclasses in basic computing.

Excited about the six new computers,HALS manager Laura Growcott said atlong last, they were finally able to get ridof the old machines, some of which hadbeen donated about 10 years ago, and allof which ran different programmes atdifferent speeds.

“The new computers will open upeverything we do here and means we canteach students together as a class. Somany jobs, and even finding andapplying for jobs, rely on being computerliterate. We help people with the basics,from learning how to switch on acomputer to preparing and updatingCVs, and helping with job applications.”

She said from the last computercourse they held, two students had foundfull-time employment and three were inpart-time jobs. However, the service hadto manage with just one computer for thepast six months while the new suite wasrenovated and the computers installedand connected.

Computer tutor Carol Tukapua saysthe new computers make all thedifference. “Having everyone working inWord 2010 makes teaching better andeasier for me as well as the students. Idon’t have to stop and think where iconsand other things are in differentprogrammes anymore.”

Ms Growcott said HALS was indebtedto Eastern & Central Community Trust,Pub Charity, Endeavour CommunityFoundation, Infinity Foundation, OnlineCommunications and Digicom Networksfor funding and supporting the project.


Use of mothballs in garden

Diggingin

WALLY RICHARDS

A few weeks back mothballs were bannedin New Zealand as a result of the Ministryof Health issuing the following:

All currently available mothballproducts are being removed from themarket as a result of concern about the riskof poisoning to children.

Three agencies are involved in theaction. Trading Standards (part of theMinistry of Business, Innovation andEmployment) has contacted distributorsand retailers and asked all retailers toremove products from the shelves.

The Environmental ProtectionAuthority (EPA) has advised that thechemicals in these mothballs are notapproved for use as a pesticide and theMinistry of Health is warning the public toreturn any mothballs they have to theretailer they bought them from or to disposeof them in the rubbish.

One of the three possible chemicalsused in mothballs is Naphthalene.

Naphthalene has for over 30 years beenused as an effect cat deterrent keepingmost cats off gardens, doorways and otherplaces where they foul.

Mothballs have been used to protectclothes, carpets, books etc from the likesof moth and silverfish damage.

Naphthalene was never registered forthis purpose yet mothballs were sold as an

insecticide, which violates theregulations. I contacted the EPA andinquired about the product, Cat Repellentwhich contains Naphthalene crystals.

The reply was that they were notaware of this use (cat repellent) and theywould have to look into the matter. Aftera week or so the answer came back thatCat Repellent could be sold for thatpurpose as it did not require registrationbut it could only be made available in achild resistant container with newwarnings on the label.

All these matters have been completedand approved so you can still obtain CatRepellent from most local garden centresand Mitre 10.

Young children these days canmistake a round object such as amothball for a lolly.

One elderly reader told me that in hisday lollies were never seen in the homeexcept maybe at Christmas time where afew might be in a Christmas stocking.

It makes one wonder about otherround objects such as marbles, thoughnot toxic certainly not good to swallow.

It is good news for gardeners that areplagued by neighbor’s cats digging upfreshly planted beds of seedlings andfouling gardens.

Over the 30 years I have beenassociated with the sale of Cat Repellent Ihave accessed that it deters about 95 percent of cats with a few odd ones notaffected.

It is a chemical that when freshlyapplied can be irritating to both cats andsome people.

It should not be placed on bare soilwhere food crops are grown instead placein lids or plastic ice cream containers soits not in direct contact with the soil.■ Contuned on Friday

Foxton play hearts out but Toa hold on

LVN300714TWrugbySRF2

TACKLED: Foxton player Brendan Robinson is brought downby a Toa player, with teammate Jason Nahoma behind.

By TANYAWOODPLAYER

REMEMBEREDAminute silence was heldahead of the Foxton-Toa matchfor Foxton player Danny Kauri,32, who died last week. Danny,who had played rugby in Foxtonsince the age of five through toPremier Grade, was diagnosedwith cancer before the start ofthe season. A member of theSenior Reserve team last year,Danny was also part of the teamthat won the Senior Reservechampionship final against Toain 2006. A popular player,always willing to help anyone inthe rugby club, Danny mentoredthe women’s rugby team overthe past two seasons. He will besadly missed by friends, familyand the rugby fraternity.

Foxton played with heart andsoul against defendingchampions Ngati Toa in theSenior Reserve final onSaturday at Levin Domain.

A missed penalty kick infront of the posts probably costFoxton the title, and the BillMuir Memorial Cup.

Despite the missed penalty,awarded to Foxton in the first10 minutes of the game, theteam was able to hold Toa to anil score line in the first 20minutes until an unconvertedtry from Toa winger CoromHippolite put them five pointsin the lead. It was to be the onlytry scored on the day in boththe Senior Reserve andPremier Grade finals.

A gutsy Foxton held Toa to5-0 at half-time and managed tokick three points on to thescoreboard in the early part ofthe second half, after beingawarded a penalty, taken byfirst-five Andre Kauri.

Supporters were kept ontheir toes to the last seconds asboth teams applied pressureand intensity in equal measure,and good defending by bothteams prevented the ballmaking it over the tryline. Thefinal score was 5-3.

Toa manager Hera Noble

said the team felt quietlyconfident going into the finalhaving not lost a game allseason but admitted the gamedidn’t quite pan out the waythey thought it would.

“They knew Foxton hadsomething to play for [clubstalwart Danny Kauri, whodied last week] and as the gamewent on, I think they struggledknowing how much Foxtonwanted this. I think there was ahuge sigh of relief from Toawhen that final whistle went.”

Noble confirmed it wasToa’s hardest game and tightestscore line for a long time.

“Hats off to Foxton for theirdefence and the same to ourboys. It was a good, clean, hardgame all round. For Foxton toput up a fight like that and onlylose by only two points is justawesome for the guys.”

Foxton coach Nick McVeighsaid the aim was to take thegame to Toa right from thestart, play a solid game andhold Toa back for the first 20

minutes. He said the boysweren’t intimidated by theirprevious two losses to Toa inthe season and had put on animmense performance.

“We were playing this gamefor Danny. It was a bitdevastating when Toa got thatfirst try and, if we’d got thatfirst penalty, the scorelinemight have been slightlydifferent, but hats off to Toa.”

Ngati Toa captain NathanRei was player of the day.

Shannon unable to break champs’ title holdBUCKET APPEALThere was a bucket appeal onSaturday for Awatapu Collegestudent Nat Manville, 18, aformer Shannon Junior Graderugby player with a long roadto recovery after suffering abroken neck playing first XVrugby twomonths ago. Theappeal raised just over $460on the day.

LVN300714TWrugbyPF2

BREAK: Shannon lock TainuiWoodmass makes a breakthrough Paraparaumu players.

“Gutted” pretty much summedup the feelings of Shannon rugbyunion team after losing thePremier Grade final on Saturdayto Paraparaumu, in one of thetightest scorelines all season.

While the Ramsbottom Cupwent south again, just one pen-alty kick — three points —separated Shannon, who hadbeen leading the points table allseason, and defending cham-pions Paraparaumu whocompleted a title hat-trick a featnot achieved by the Parapara-umu team since the late 1960s.

Previous form was irrelevanton the day. Evenly pitted, bothteams gave the estimated1500-strong crowd at LevinDomain a white-knuckle ride aspossession pinged backwardsand forwards like a tennis matchat times, and teams clashed andbattled with equal measures ofintensity and desperation withinmetres of each other’s trylines.

Paraparaumu coach MarkBenton said the match gave a fewof their coaching staff andplayers “pretty white knucklesas well”.

“We went into the game as thedefending champions, trying towin [the cup] three times in arow.

“This also makes it our fourthwin in the last six years.”

He said the team kicked morethan normal, to avoid playing intheir own territory.

“We probably weren’t takingas many risks because it was thefinals and we just wanted to winwhether it was by one point or ahundred.”

In a try-less final, it waspenalty kicks that decided the

match. Paraparaumu laid downthe first three points withinabout two minutes, equalled byShannon soon after. Parapara-umu took the lead again at 6-3.With about 12 minutes to go tothe end of the first half, Shannonmissed a penalty but made surethe next one sailed over the barto level the score at 6-all goinginto the second half.

Shannon took the lead intothe second half at 9-6. A bounce

off the upright lost Paraparaumua potential three points but theirnext penalty kick sailed over thebar to equalise 9-all.

Playing with 14 men for 10minutes of the game, after aplayer was sinbinned, Shannonthrew everything they had at theopposition but another penalty toParaparaumu kicked them to a12-9 lead held until the finalwhistle.

All four Paraparaumu penal-

ties were kicked by first-fiveSonny McBride while fullbackAnthony Porima kicked all threeShannon penalties.

There was no disguising thejubilation of the Paraparaumuplayers and there was no hidingthe disappointment of theShannon players and coach TonyRobinson.

He said despite playing a lot ofgood rugby the team just didn’tcome up with the points.

“We certainly had our oppor-tunities, we’re gutted,” he said.

Nerves were not a factoraccording to Robinson.

“I thought we settled well. Itwas a combination of gooddefence [by Paraparaumu] andus not being accurate enough.”

A guard of honour at the endof the match was held for Para-paraumu player Aaron Richard-son, playing his 100th game, andplayer of the day in the Premiermatch was awarded to Parapara-umu fullback and captain, MikeTambour.

Mountain of ambitionBy PETER FRANKLIN

FULLY FOCUSED: KateFluker in full flight chasingthe best time across therough track surface.

Kate Fluker is excited aboutbeing with the New ZealandCommonwealth Gamesteam.

However, after theGlasgow Games her sightswill be firmly set oncontinuing her climb up theworld rankings and earninga place in the New Zealandsquad for the Rio Olympics.

Fluker, 26, has only beenin mountainbiking for fouryears but in that time hasbecome a bit of aphenomenon.

She has gone fromstrength-to-strength in thecrosscountry biking sportthat requires endurance,core strength, balance andbike handling skills. Nowranked 25th in the world,she has been working hardon putting in a topperformance at theCommonwealth Games.

Her father John Fluker isextremely proud of herachievements to date,working continually hard toimprove her world ranking.

“It has not been an easyroad for Kate, like othersshe has made all sorts ofsacrifices to get where sheis,” Mr Fluker said.

She sat on her firstmountain bike in 2010, aftergrowing up riding horsesand having absolutely noidea about any form ofserious exercise let aloneeven considering riding abike.

Three years later she isranked second in NewZealand behind OlympianKaren Hanlen and is nowcompeting in Europe.

Her supporters include

Ricoh, R&R Sport, NZXCand her wonderful family,friends and people of herlocal community.

Born and bred in theHorowhenua, she moved toQueenstown aftercompleting her degree inRural Valuation andManagement. She nowworks in Queenstown as aproperty valuer.

Buying her firstmountain bike was “a wayto meet new people” whenshe moved to Queenstown towork.

Fluker came second inher first open women's event

shortly afterwards and thisyear claimed the NewZealand's Champs first elitewomen's title.

With the confidence andbelief that she could becompetitive, Fluker movedto Europe competing in theUCI World Cup events,finishing 17th at her firstcrosscountry World Cuprace of the season in Cairns,Australia, last month.

“When I started biking Ican honestly say I nevereven dreamed this couldhappen but with a lot ofblood, sweat and tearsliterally this year, all thehard work has paid off.''

Fluker joins Motatapumen's winner Sam Glaze,from Te Awamutu, andAnton Cooper, fromChristchurch, who will becompeting in Glasgow.
