Replacement of Foxton’sWhirokino Trestle bridge, that

was opened in 1939, could startas early as next year.

This week Prime MinisterJohn Key announced $212million from the Future Invest-ment Fund will be used for 14regionally-important statehighway projects, includingthe replacement of theWhirokino trestle bridge.

Mr Key and Transport Min-ister Gerry Brownlee saidinvestigation and consentingwill be finalised for the trestle’sreplacement.

The trestle struggles to copewith the weight of modernlong-haul vehicles and thesevehicles struggle to negotiatethe narrow bridge, typical of its

vintage. Replacement is estim-ated to cost between $25 millionand $30m.

“This will be a big bonus forthe Foxton community duringconstruction, with workersspending locally,” Otaki MPNathan Guy said. “This isgreat news for motorists andthe Horowhenua District.”

Pedestrian accidentsThe news media regularly highlightsroad accidents and the statisticsassociated with the annual road toll.

It would however be of interest toknow the number of incidents involvingpedestrian accidents, particularly inurban areas such as Levin.

Currently the average pedestrian hasto be aware of cyclists on the footpath,skateboarders on the footpath, mobilityscooters on the footpath and youngpersons on scooters using the footpaths.

Mobility scooters, in particular, canbe a danger to pedestrians on account oftheir lack of any mechanical noise andin a number of instances, no flags orwarning devices together with an abilityto move quite quickly on the footpath.

Witness any day in the Levin busi-ness area the amount of foot traffic aswell as the use of the footpath by thebefore mentioned groups.

When footpaths were originally laidout in the Levin CBD, the footpaths were

designed for pedestrians only, it iscertainly changed days with pedestriansno longer having sole use of the avail-able footpaths.

Possibly the time is now right for theCouncil to review footpath use andconsider the adoption of a “FootpathControl By-Law” particularly before apedestrian is seriously injured.

BILL STIRLINGLEVIN

Forestry shameHow absolutely appalling that therewere 10 forestry fatalities in the 2013.

One is more than enough. How oursociety seems to devalue the workers ofthis country. These people are theconsumers and producers of thiscountry but because they are not busi-nessmen, their value seems somehow tohave been diminished.

They might not have all died at oncelike the 29 in the Pike River mine but itis just as tragic. And in the Pike RiverMine tragedy, nobody has ever beenheld responsible.

One wonders how many (if any)people are going to be held responsiblefor these men’s lives. No doubt most ofthem were family men with wives andchildren, which just adds to the tragedy.

Ever since Roger Douglas brought inhis right-wing, de-regulated market inthe 1980s, which subsequent govern-ments just built on, the value of thepeople of this country, the workers hasdiminished. When are we ever going togo back to caring for our people?

Betty become firstfemale life member

RECOGNISED FOR LIFE: Foxton’sBetty Taylor is the first woman to bemade a life member of Foxton RSA,ironically she nearly lost her life in Aprilthis year. PHOTO : FRANKIE WEBB

By FRANKIEWEBB

Betty Taylor was left a widow with sevenchildren in her early 40s, but Bettyalways sees the glass half full.

“I love helping people, caring forpeople, I’ve done it all my life,” she said.

Betty’s husband Heta died in 1981 aged43 in Australia on a Lodge trip, Betty’syoungest child was 13. It was like historyrepeating itself.

“My father died aged 43 after fallinginto a machine at the Feltex factory, myyoungest sibling was 13 at the time.”

In the February before Heta died,Betty had started nursing at KimberleyHospital. She couldn’t carry on.

“I joined Foxton RSA,” Betty said.“After a few weeks the committee asked ifI would like to work behind the bar, I did— and stayed there for 14 years.”

Betty also did time in home caring, ajob she loved for more than 30 years.

She did a lot of unpaid work as well.“I’m in everything,” she said. “I put myhand up as usual and ended up inBirthright, Foxton Little Theatre, thechurch, Wellington Maori Battalion

Association, and so it goes on.”On Friday she was awarded life

membership of Foxton RSA, the firstwoman to receive the honour.

“This is my fifth life membership,” shesaid. “I’m a life member and founder ofthe Delta Country Music Club, lifemember of the Women’s Section of RSA,William Arthur Lodge, Bison Lodge andnow the Foxton RSA.”

However, she nearly didn’t make it tofive life memberships. In April Betty’sson was staying overnight on his way toWellington. “He offered me a cuppa inbed, I decided to get up for it,” Betty said.The next thing she recalled was wakingup in Palmerston North Hospital.

“I had a heart attack, I actually died,”she said. “All my kids were in the FoxtonSurf Lifesaving Club and know CPR, myson worked on me until the ambulancearrived, he managed to resuscitate me.”

After heart surgery and a few monthsdown the track, Betty is doing well,taking things a little bit slower but stillputting her hand up when she can.

“I’ll always help, it’s just what I lovedoing,” she said.

the world through Maori eyes andunderstanding the stories that have beenhanded down through the generations.

The mentor works together with theyoung person and the Whanau to build ontheir strengths and identify needs. Therangatahi have started the process ofmaking their own vegetable garden out atthe Marae, engaged in hands-on learningwith Rakau, and participated in MatarikiCelebrations by learning and doing handson activities. There is a trip planned toUCOL in Palmerston North to look atfuture career paths and opening new doorsfor these rangatahi and their Whanau.

Another mentoring programme whichis a Ministry of Education initiative, calledCheck and Connect, has started in theHorowhenua. Life to the Max staff have

Sentences stun grieving fatherBy ALECIA ROUSSEAU

GDN030714valentine

FAMILY: MichaelValentine shared a

special bond with hissister Rebecca.

PHOTO SUPPLIED

‘Even though thesentencing is now

over, nothing changesfor us.’—JOHNTIMMER-ARENDS,

step father

A grieving father is stunned at thesentences handed down to threemen responsible for his son'sdeath and says nothing haschanged for his family.

Stoyan Militch, 32, MichaelZimmerman, 30, and BraydenWindley, 23, were sentenced in theHigh Court at Palmerston Northlast Friday for their part in thekilling of Levin father Michael LesValentine.

They were each jailed andgiven their first warning underthe three strikes law.

Militch, described as the “mostculpable”, showed little remorse,and was given a term of eightyears and four months with aminimum non-parole period offive years.

Zimmerman was sentenced toseven years and must serve atleast three years and six months.Windley was given five years witha minimum period of two and ahalf years.

On February 1, 2012, the threeoffenders drove to Valentine'srural property to confront himover a toothbrush and computerhard drive. After an altercation,Militch stabbed Valentine in hisright hand and then his chest,piercing his right lung.

Justice Ronald Young saidValentine had “bled to deathquickly” as the three men offeredno assistance and decamped fromthe property. After the sentencing,Valentine's step father JohnTimmer-Arends said he wasstunned.

“As far as I'm concerned it's notenough . . . but given what theJudge can do within the law Ithink it's reasonable.”

He and his family had beenthrough “17 months of hell” andno amount of time would changethat.

“Even though the sentencing isnow over, nothing changes forus.”

Thirteen victim impactstatements were provided butonly four were read in courtincluding one from Valentine'smother, Lynda.

“This is the last thing I can dofor Michael . . . no-one can under-

stand the pain until you've had afamily member [killed]. Nothingcould prepare you for somethingso cruel.”

She described the “terror” oflying awake every night relivingher son's last moments, and thepain she feels watching her grand-son grow up without his father.

“This is a life sentence for us. . . I will never forgive them. Iwish they were dead and not mybeloved Michael.”

Laura Hill, the mother of MrValentine's four-year-old sonLuca, told the court her little boyhad become overwhelmed withsadness, struggling withemotional problems both at homeand at school.

“He is painfully aware . . . Iasked how he felt on that day andhe said to me, '‘ have a headacheand there is a pain in my heartthat won't go away'.”

All three men previouslypleaded guilty to one charge ofperverting the course of justiceand were given a sentence of 12months to serve concurrently.

The battle of the bands is on.Three Horowhenua bands

will be competing at the 2014Smokefreerockquest Manawaturegional final on Friday for acoveted place in the nationalfinal.

Hard rockers Concrete Pills,from Horowhenua College, metalband Gospel from Horowhenuaand Waiopehu Colleges, andFusion, two brothers fromFoxton, will be hoping theiroriginal material will strike theright chord with judges, and theaudience.

The Horowhenua bandscompeted against 15 collegebands in the regional heat lastmonth, making it to the final 10for Friday’s regional final atPalmerston North’s GlobeTheatre. Only the top two bandsfrom the regional final will gothrough to the national final heldin Auckland, in September.

Each band must perform twosongs in the regional final.

Concrete Pills had alreadyhad three weeks in which tocome up with a band name andnew song for the regional heat,and now the pressure is on again,to write another song in threeweeks.

Bass guitarist Josh Anderson,speaking to the HorowhenuaChronicle on Monday, said theband had not yet come up with atitle for its new song.

“It’s about young people notconforming to what people [thegovernment and people inauthority over young people] tryto shove down our throats,” hesaid.

The political theme is inkeeping with their first song,They're Watching Us, about theGCSB, John Key and KimDotcom, which they will perform

again at the regional final.Josh said the band, which

includes lead guitarist KieranBatten, lead vocalist and rhythmguitarist Geordie Parent anddrummer Josh Rothnie, has beentrying to get in as much practiceas possible.

“I’m pretty nervous and I’mpretty sure the other guys are aswell. At this point we’ve got justfour days to get it all together.”

Metal band Gospel, akadrummer Kurt Thoms and bassguitarist Kaidan Downs fromHorowhenua College andWaiopehu College studentTimothy Tasker on rhythmguitar and lead vocals, were

blase about whether they won ornot prior to the regional heat.

Now that they are through tothe regional final with thenational final a real possibility,the band is fully focused,according to Kaidan.

“We’re going to perform twosongs we wrote last year andhave already performed live,” hesaid.

Called I Stared Down theMedusa and Temple of Ruin,Kaidan said the different tempochanges would show what theband could do.

“I think we’re in with a prettygood chance [of getting throughto the national final]. We don’t

feel under as much pressure thistime and we’re all prettyexcited.”

Foxton brothers BradJurgens, 11, and Justin, 13, willbe the youngest performers onFriday night. Happy to haveachieved their original goal ofreaching the regional finals, thebrothers are realistic about theirchances of winning a place in thefinals.

“We’d be really happy to winthe regional People’s Choiceaward so we can open at thenational finals. We’ve alsoentered the category for bestlyrics which is judged separatelyand we’d like to win that too,”

said Justin, a student atManawatu College.

The brothers will perform twooriginal songs, Individuality,about students who don't want towear school uniform andconform, which they sung at theregional heat, and Jump, writtena few years ago.

Brad, a student at FoxtonSchool, said Jump had beencompletely revamped for theregional final. “It’s more rockingand we want to get everyone updancing.”

Also taking the stage thisFriday will be college bands fromPalmerston North Girls’ andBoys’ High Schools, FreyburgHigh School and Nga TawaDiocesan School in Wanganui.

Water mains to be flushedIn steps to ensure all Foxton and FoxtonBeach residents receive clear drinkingwater, the water mains in both areas willbe flushed every Friday.

This is to help remove biofilm thatover years has accumulated in the pipesand that is reacting with the residualchlorine in the reticulation, causingsome residents to receive discolouredwater.

The Foxton and Foxton Beach watersupplies have been upgraded recently toachieve compliance with New ZealandDrinking Water Standards and achieve abetter water quality grade.

As part of the upgrades, more chlorinehas been introduced to the supplies toensure that enough residual chlorine ispresent to completely disinfect the wateras it travels through the reticulationnetwork.

Horowhenua District Council WaterServices manager Sarah Stephen saysthe residual chlorine is within theMinistry of Health guideline values.

Ms Stephen says, as a result of thewater mains flushing, residents maynotice their water appearance, smell ortaste alter, but that it will remaincompletely safe to drink.

Residents can usually clear theirwater by running a tap for between 10and 15 minutes to flush the lateral pipeson their side of the property boundary.

Ms Stephen says, if after flushingtheir taps, residents are stillexperiencing water quality issues,they should contact the Councilon (06) 366-0999 [email protected]

Fascination frompages of the pastOur Stories (TheWayWeUsed ToBe: TheNewZealand That Time Forgot)edited by IanWishartHowling at theMoonPublishing, $40......................................................This is a cracker of a publication.Wishart,as editor, has gone intoNewZealandnewspapers to gather articles—notalways the headlines—but items ofinterest fromas far back as themid-1800s.Sometimes these items are followed up

by the paper itself or by anothernewspaper or even in the letters to theeditor, aswe do today,with othercorrespondents commenting further in theweeks that followed.These articles and commentaries are

always fascinating.Our Stories details the find of a ‘‘huge

land lizard’’ discovered near Inglewood,reported inWellington'sEveningPost in1896— the term ‘‘dinosaur’’ had not yetreachedNewZealand, althoughGideonMantell had coined the term in 1841.This articlewas followed up by nine

other newspaper reports, some on theInglewood lizard, others about reports of acrocodile at Oamaru.More than 50 years ago, when Iwas at

school, wewere told that no dinosaurswould be found here because the landwastoo young.This is a book to be treasured.Wishartmust have thoroughly enjoyed

searching for reports such as a tsunami in1868, and of the enlightened decision toextend the right to vote towomen.Chapter two goes on about that tsunami

hitting BanksPeninsula in1868, and tellsus if NewZealand reallywas the firstcountry to givewomen the vote—as all of uswere taught atschool.There are

reports aboutan elusivemoose, the last

huia and the rise and fall of themoa.Then therewas the cultural impact of

Mr Selfridge on retailing (nowof TV fame)and the impact of themassacres atWairauandKaipara.World famousmen in the field of

telephone communication included suchluminaries as ElishaGray of Chicago and,in 1876, AlexanderGrahamBell.The newspapers of the day, inNew

Zealand and overseas, were full of newsabout the telephone—earth-shattering atthe time but today, the phone is justanother appliancewe take for granted.TheNewZealandHerald,ThePress and

theOtagoDaily Times alongwith localpapersTheClutha Leader,NelsonExaminer and lotsmore—every newsoutlet in the country at the time has beenscoured byWishart—even the one thatreported snow inAuckland in 1883.EveryNewZealander, born here or not,

will enjoy browsing throughOur Stories.And for certain, the question setters for

pub quizzes the length and breadth of thecountrywill find it an invaluable source ofmaterial.

Te Takere was designed from the verystart as a multipurpose heart and hubfor our community.

It was also established with the clearexpectation that it would attract visitorsfrom outside of the district and generateincome to ultimately reduce thefinancial burden on ratepayers.

Last week Te Takere hosted threeevents which illustrate exactly how wehoped things would go.

At the weekend we hosted aconference of 130 early childhoodeducators that we poached fromWellington.

Every meeting space was in use fromthe small meeting rooms, educationsuite, open meeting room with the largescreen, to the main space where thedelegates assembled for the earlymorning keynote address.

On Sunday we had another largebooking, more than 180 people, for theinaugural Ratana Church service whichincluded a powhiri facilitated byMuaupoko Tribal Authority and theRatana brass band.

Parishioners from all over the NorthIsland assembled at Te Takere for thefirst of what will be regular monthlyservices, one Sunday morning a monthbefore Te Takere opens in the afternoon.These events bring visitors and incometo the district: accommodationproviders, restaurants, hire centre,caterers and of course Te Takere.

The more successful Te Takere iscommercially the more successful wecan be socially — and last week was avery social time as well.

Matariki festivities ran all week andmany schools participated by providingwonderful japahaka performances to

delighted visitors to Te Takere. Therewere a number of activities throughoutthe week but a highlight for me was thecommunity dinner on Wednesday night.

Local growers donated fresh vegeswhich staff and a few volunteers turnedinto delicious soups, stews and curries.

New World, who have to be the bestcorporate neighbours we have, donateda trolley load of fresh bread rolls. TeHiira Hill from Muaupoko TribalAuthority MC’d a programme ofentertainment including Taitoko Schoolkapa haka and singers and then a sharedpot luck meal was shared by 200 people.

The week finished with one of ourfree Sunday afternoon concerts whenperformers from the lower North Islandare brought to Te Takere to provide afree concert for the community.

Entry is free but koha or donationsare gratefully accepted from those whocan afford it.

Local reggae / R&B band Soulwayperformed last Sunday and upcomingacts include Bull Frog Rata on August31.

Police believe the truesuccess of this year’snational cannabisoperation is not the drugsdestroyed, the guns seizedor the suspects arrestedbut, rather, the harm thathas been prevented fromoccurring in thecommunity.

During Operation Lucy,105,000 cannabis plantswere destroyed, 112firearms seized and 640suspects arrested.

“The cannabis trade is adestructive force in NewZealand society,” saidDetective Senior Sgt ScottMcGill.

“By destroying over100,000 plants before theywere harvested police have

prevented significantsocial damage fromoccurring in ourcommunity.”

Mr McGill said thearrest of 64 patched gangmembers or associates

during Operation Lucyshows the strongconnection betweenorganised crime and thecannabis trade. Inaddition to the plants andfirearms seized, anestimated $195,000 ofstolen property wasrecovered.

MATARIKI and Marama. PHOTO: ANDY DODSON

ByGLENSMITH

Looking back at June, thankfullywe have had some great weatherfor stargazing and I hope thesame this month.

In June, the Sun producedquite a bit of solar activitycreating stunning solar flaresbut sadly most of the country wascovered in cloud andprecipitation at the time. Therewas a possibility of aurorasbeing visible due to the solaractivity. A faint aurora wasspotted and photographed onSunday June 8 in Dunedin.

A rare event also occurred onFriday the 13th when a full moonoccurred. Around this time ofyear people around the countryare also celebrating Matariki,the start of the Maori new year orTe Whetu o te Tau.

Different iwi mark the startthe new year in different ways.Some iwi mark the start of thenew year by the heliacal rising ofPuanga or rigel in Orion.Another way being the heliacalrising of the open cluster knowas Matariki, also known as theSeven sisters — Pleiades andMessier 45 (M45).

In Japan the asterism is calledSubaru (Take a look at the badgeon the boot of the next Subaruyou see at the traffic lights.)Matariki is 424 light years awayfrom Earth. On July 4 Earthreaches aphelion, which meansEarth is at its most distantposition away from the Sun.

Last month we had wintersolstice which was on June 21.

A solstice is an event that

occurs twice each year as the sunreaches its highest or lowestexcursion. The solstice is eitherthe longest day of the year insummer, or the shortest day of

the year in the winter.I loved hearing from Levin

people with the positive feedbackabout my articles and it’s reallygreat to see so many of us are

watching the night sky. I wouldlike to see photos taken by you ofour night sky.

It does not matter what age oryour skill and if you own a

telescope or not. If you emailyour photos [email protected] I mightpick your photo to be in nextmonth’s article, don’t forget toadd your name and age if you area child.

Please note do not attempt tophotograph the sun unless youhave a special solar filter. OnMonday July 7, the Moon,Saturn, Mars and Spica will be ina loose conjunction which meansthe planets are in about the samepart of the sky. This would be aneasy one to photograph with nospecial equipment and can betaken with a point and shootcamera or a SLR.

Looking through a pair ofbinoculars or a telescope Saturnis really worth looking at with itsicy rings and moons, positionedin the northeast sky.

It takes Saturn 10,759 earthdays or 29 and half years for onerevolution of the Sun. Venus alsorises in the northeast around6am.

Each month we have a seriesof near Earth asteroids. Thedistance from the asteroidscloset approach being measuredin LD which means lunardistance 1 LD equates toapproximately 384,000 kmbetween the Earth and the Moon.

On June 23 2009 there were1064 potentially hazardousasteroids. Good luck with thephotographs and clear skies.■ Fact of themonth: TheMoon hasa solid iron-rich inner core with aradius of 240km and a fluid outercore primarily made of liquid ironwith a radius of roughly 300km.

Separate feedingto help runt growI am looking after threekittens. The first two arebig and healthy but thelast is what can bedescribed only as the runtof the litter. I am a littleconcerned about her— isthere anything I can feedher to fatten her up a bit?

— Sally

Although it is common for one animalin a litter to be smaller than its litter-mates, if you are concerned yourkitten is not growing as quickly as sheshould it would be a good idea to haveher checked by a vet. A vet will be ableto determine whether your kitten issmall but healthy or whether she isexperiencing issues in her growth anddevelopment.Youmay also try feeding your

smaller kitten in a separate room fromthe other two kittens. This will ensureshe gets to eat all the food she shouldat eachmeal. It can be a real challengewhen feedingmultiple kittenstogether to stop them from helpingthemselves to each other’s food bowls.Some catsmay also eat less wheneating with others as this canmakethem feel stressed.There are also foods specifically

formulated for kittens. These kittenformulas contain optimum amounts ofnutrients for growth andwould be agood option to feed to your kittens.

Cancer and wood are not twowords normally associated.

Yet for the past three years,beautifully crafted woodenbowls and wig stands made byLevin wood turners, membersof the Kapiti WoodworkersGuild, have been helpingbrighten up the lives of peopleundergoing cancer treatment.

The wooden bowls, filledwith sweets donated byCadburys, are given out eachChristmas to local cancersocieties.

Horowhenua Cancer Societyvolunteer Edna Kelly said itreceived about 30 of the sweet-filled bowls, which are thenhand delivered to cancerpatients within the region.

“They don’t know the bowlsare coming so it’s a lovelysurprise and it really brightensup their day,” she said.

The wig stands have becomedesirable items at Wellingtonworkshops run by the LookGood Feel Better charitabletrust for people undergoingcancer treatment. Generalmanager Claire Higgins said thewig stands were “absolutelybeautiful”.

“The women are blown awaywhen they see them and,although they are supposed toreturn the stands, many chooseto keep them so we are eternallygrateful to the wood turners forkeeping us supplied.”

The national trust requiresabout 40 wig stands a month forWellington alone.

According to John Wysocki,one of a small group of menfrom Levin who belong to the

Woodworkers Guild, the Kapitibranch has produced about1200 bowls and about 1000 wigstands since the club beganmaking them three yearsago.

The men also make spinningtops, which are sold at markets

for a god coin donation and themoney donated to the ChildCancer Foundation atChristmas.

“I don’t how many spinningtops we’ve made in the last fewyears since we started but wegenerally raise about $250 a

year,” he said.“There is a lot of satisfaction

in making things that gotowards helping out people.”

Mr Wysocki, like the greatmajority of Guild members,joined after retiring to take up ahobby. He said the Guild was

always keen to have youngermembers.

“You don’t need any tools orprevious experience, just a loveof wood and making things.”■ For more information about theKapiti Woodturning Guild, contactJohnWysocki on (06) 368-5717.

Message from Foxton Community BoardOne of the key responsibilities ofthe Foxton Community Board is toadvocate and support initiatives thatwill improve ‘the lot’ of the Foxtonand Foxton Beach communities.

In the past couple of weeks wehave made a couple of significantsubmissions. The first requested thatthe Manawatu District Council makesignificant improvements to thequality and volume of their wastewaterdischarge into the Manawatu River

as a condition of the renewal of theirResource Consent.

The second, a joint submission with‘Save Our River Trust’, was to HorizonsRegional Council to majorly improvethe flow of the Manawatu River Loopand clean up its quality – in otherwords to restore its health to what itonce was!

While we won’t know the results of theManawatu District Council submission

for some time, wemade significantprogress engaging withHorizons. They havenow agreed to join aworking group withour Board, SORT andHorowhenua DistrictCouncil to not just talk about, but toprovide solutions to our River Loopproblems! It’s got to be good!

Janine Smart(Chair)

‘On the spot’ with one of the staffMeredith Blackler,Human Resources Manager

I have been the Human ResourcesManager at Horowhenua DistrictCouncil for the past 18 months, afterfour years in the Human Resourcesdepartment at another larger Council.

Human Resources is responsible forthe systems and processes that enableour staff to do their jobs well and

serve the community. We look after everything from therecruitment of an employee to their departure. Arriving atCouncil, I set about to create a vision for Human Resourcesthat aligns to Council’s vision. This is to ensure that theemployee experience is such that they are able to carryout the Council vision and goals by ensuring they havethe competencies, engagement, job satisfaction, coaching,opportunities, systems and processes, and motivation to doso at above average level.

Who are our customers in Human Resources? It is theratepayers. Our department may be internally focused, but

with the understanding that everything we do is for thebetterment of the community as our key stakeholders.

In the short time I have been at Horowhenua, I havebeen highly impressed with the amount that our Councilachieves compared to a larger Council. With much morelimitation on budget, resources and staffing, I am proud tobe part of a team that punches well above its weight.

I thoroughly enjoy working in local government because Ifind the values that Council embodies are synonymous withmy own. After choosing a profession that is often internallyfocused, working in local government allows me to connectmy role to, and add value to, the wider community -something I do not believe I could achieve in the private sector.

Before entering local government I was a tutor and researchassistant in Human Resources at Massey University, whereI gained my Masters in Management, endorsed in HumanResources. I also have a Bachelor’s Degree in BusinessPsychology.

I am married to Shaun, a secondary school teacher, and weare kept busy with our three kids who range from six to 15years of age.

Burning treatedtimber banned in NZAs colder weather approaches andmany people turn to fires to heattheir homes, they should be awareof the dangers of burning treatedtimbers.

The fact is that residents should notburn treated timbers either in a wood-burner or in the open air, as doingso will release toxic fumes and posea health risk to anyone who maybreathe the contaminated air.

Most residential construction in NewZealand uses pinus radiata timber, which

is a perishable fast-growing softwoodand not naturally resistant to insectsand fungi. To enhance its resistance topests, the timber is typically treatedwith toxic chemicals such as chromatecopper arsenic (CCA).

It is because of CCA’s toxicity that theburning of treated timbers is bannedin New Zealand.

CCA has pesticide and anti-fungalproperties and New Zealand is oneof the world’s biggest users of CCA-treated timber products.

Inevitably, the house constructionprocess results in off-cuts and otherunused timber being accumulated,with temptation for people to see theunused timber as a source of firewood;when it actually needs proper disposalat a landfill.

Treated timbers can sometimes beidentified by stampings into the wood,indicating the nature of the treatment.The various treatments leave thetimber with a green-coloured tinge.

However, it is not always possible toidentify treated timber, so as a generalrule, “if in doubt throw it out” and donot burn.

Dog registration fees refunds on offerHorowhenua dog owners can win afull refund of their dog registrationfees but they will need to register andmake payment by Saturday 12 July.

Horowhenua District Council isoffering 10 refunds that will be drawnin the promotion to encourage ownersto register their dogs early.

Registration renewal notices havejust been posted to the last recordedaddress held on dog owners’ records.

Owners will see that fees haveincreased by $10 per dog.

Council’s Regulatory Services ManagerMike Lepper says this is the first increasefor three years and that Horowhenua’sanimal control fees and charges willstill be less than those charged by mostother councils in New Zealand.

Mr Lepper says the increase isnecessary to cover the costs faced

by the Council and so it can meet itsobligations under the Dog Control Act.

The fees cover about three-quarters ofthe cost to run Council’s Animal Servicesdepartment, as well as action complaints,pay for education programmes andmaterial, pound facilities and legal costs;the balance is covered by Council.

Dog registration fees will rangefrom $34 for a puppy to $255 for adangerous-classified dog, with mostfees being between $45 and $102.

Registration payments are due byThursday 31 July 2014. A late penalty ofthe registration fee plus 50 percent willapply for registrations paid after 31 July.

Mr Lepper says any dog owners whobelieve they may have difficulty inpaying their dog registration fees areencouraged to contact Council now on06 366 0999 and discuss possible options.

“We’d rathertalk withpeople nowand perhaps arrange a payment planto avoid the risk of them receiving a$300 infringement fee.”

A complete list of the animal controlfees and charges is available on Council’swebsite www.horowhenua.govt.nz

Payments can be made at CouncilService Centres in Levin, Foxton orShannon. Council’s Levin office at126 Oxford Street will also open from9.00am to 12 noon on Saturday 5July and Saturday 12 July to acceptregistration payments.

Also, anyone who takes their dogand registers them on either of theseSaturdays can also have their dogmicrochipped at the reduced rateof $15.00.

Permits needed for work on or alongside roadsAnyone carrying out work or holding an event on, ornear, public roads may require a Work Access Permit andpossibly a Traffic Management Plan.

This applies not only to contractors and trades people, butalso members of the public. It is necessary to help ensurethe safety of those carrying out the work or holding anevent, as well as public safety and the safety of propertyand infrastructure.

Government Legislation requires Horowhenua DistrictCouncil to administer access to the transport corridor (thearea between property boundaries on either side of theroad, including the berm (grass verge), footpath and road)and the Council wants to ensure people are aware of theirobligations and responsibilities.

Anyone intending to undertake work or hold an event thataffects the normal operating conditions of the transportcorridor, vehicular or pedestrian, must apply for a Work AccessPermit (WAP) by making a Corridor Access Request (CAR).A Traffic Management Plan (TMP) may also be required.

Examples of work can range from entranceway construction,digging trenches, large tree pruning or removal, through towork on buildings and structures that requires scaffolding orcranes. Parades or other events requiring a TMP also requirea CAR. Information for event organisers can also be found onCouncil’s Event Notification Form.

Anyone unsure whether their work activity or eventrequires a Works Access Permit or Traffic Management Planshould contact the Council’s Roading Team.

To help cover the cost of managing the process, as wellas any required inspections, the Council has introducedCorridor Access Request fees, starting at $65 for minor worksand $100 for events, with non-profit organisations exempt.

Once a request has been processed and approved, a WorksAccess Permit is issued, along with the permit conditions.

The process to lodge a Corridor Access Request has beenstreamlined with the introduction of a dedicated websitewww.corridoraccess.co.nz. This can be used to lodgeapplications for work not requiring excavation and servicelocations such as power and water.

For all work requiring excavation, people should first visitthe www.beforeudig.co.nz online service to determine thepresence of underground pipes or cables in and around anyproposed dig site. A CAR is automatically generated whenlocates are requested.

Horowhenua District Council’s Roading Manager Kevin Peelsays the application process is simple and intuitive.

“When you use either of the online services, the system willautomatically contact each registered asset owner and alsogenerate the required Corridor Access Requests. So, you onlyneed to make a single request and the service will do the rest.”

Further information can be found under Services onCouncil’s website www.horowhenua.govt.nz, otherwisecontact the Council’s Roading Team on 06 366 0999 or [email protected].

Levin hockey duo set for Olympic stage

LVN020714pjf j-olympics

HOCKEY STARS: Casey-Mae Waddell and Hayden Phillips have goals in their mind as they prepare for the junior Olympics in China.

By PETER FRANKLIN

The excitement of joining hundredsof young athletes in a celebration ofsport, friendship and competitionhas put beaming smiles on the facesof Levin hockey players Casey-MaeWaddell, 16, and Hayden Phillips, 15.

The two teenagers will fly toAuckland next month to join theother 60 athletes that make up thejunior Olympic New Zealandcontingent flying to China to takepart in the 39th games.

While Casey-Mae has experiencedcompeting overseas before, this willbe a first for Hayden.

Earlier this year Casey-Mae wasselected in the squad to play theOlympic qualifiers against Vanuatuand Fiji. Her selection proved to be agood choice for the selectors as shehelped the New Zealand Hockeyunder-21 girls team secure its place atthe Nanjing 2014 Youth Olympics.

However, the team's topgoalscorer had to wait until May tosee if she had made the squad to go toChina.

She said there were 60 athletes intotal going to Nanjing. Both Casey-Mae and Hayden believe the biggestcompetition they will face will comefrom the Netherlands and Germany.

However, they do not intend totake any team lightly.

“We will have to work hard to winevery game, our preparation has gotto be perfect,” Casey-Mae said.

In just a couple of days they willhave to get used to the heat andhumidity, and the games are beingheld at the end of the monsoon seasonso they could expect some heavydown pours at a moments notice.

To play for New Zealand and dowell is all that the two teenagers areconcentrating on as they worktowards their August 12 departureday.

LOOKING to the future,Summerset by theRanges, Levin, managerLynda Angus, chiefexecutive Julian Cookand nurse managerMonique Hayes.

By PETER FRANKLIN

Positive changes arecoming for Summersetcare centre as they prepareto expand into full hospitalcare.

Last week Summersetchief executive JulianCook was at the LiverpoolStreet, Levin, complex tosee how the transition tofull hospital care wasprogressing.

Mr Cook said thecompany had been keen toexpand their service toinclude hospital care as itmeant that their residentsand families would nothave the added worry ofmoving family memberswho had reached a point

where they needed thattype of care.

In the past he saidresidents would have tomove to another facilitywhich was upsetting forthem, leaving friends and,in some cases, theirpartner at one facility asthey go to another.

Mr Cook said byintroducing the hospitalcare, they have increasedtheir nursing staff by fiveto accommodate the extracare needed in thissituation. Residents,particularly in the carecentre, will not have tomove from their room,which is essentially theirhome.

Mr Cook said it was all

about ensuring residentshave the range of care thatthey need to be comfortableand happy.

The Horowhenua Afterhours Service is availablefor people who unexpectedly become unwell andneed to see a Doctor afterhours. There are nox-ray or Medlab facilities available afterhoursat the practice. There are limited appointmentsavailable at each afterhours clinic. Once thesebecome fill, people are then directed to otherafterhours facilities in Palmerston North. Theservice is operated from Horowhenua CommunityPractice which is based with the HorowhenuaHealth Centre, 62 Liverpool Street, Levin.

The Horowhenua Afterhours Service is a feepaying service. The charges vary dependingon the type of care that is required, the age andcircumstances of the patient and whether theyneed to see a doctor or a nurse.

While the service is housed in a DHB ownedfacility it is not an Emergency Department.Locals and visitors to the Horowhenua are veryhappy with the hours of operation and with itslocation at a central point.

Now there’s time for bubble bathsPRACTICEMAKESPERFECT: JodyAllen has bulkcooking down tofine art afterdoing it for sixyears.

Once aMonthCookingby Jody Allen,Penguin, $30

By COLLEEN THORPE

JODYAlleN is doingsomething I havemysights set on . . . she is inthe habit of preparing,

cooking, and freezing amonth offamilymeals. It takes a weekendto do, she says, but think ofcoming home fromwork and justreheating. That will even leavetime for an occasional indulgentbubble bath.Jody’s book of recipes and

tips will not only save you timebutmoney. I asked her a fewquestions:

WHAT MADE YOU DECIDE TO COOKJUST ONCE A MONTH?I wantedmore time tomyself atnight. Trying to cook a decentmeal with two babies wasimpossible and I was goinginsane. I was also gaining weightbecause I was eating badly andcouldn’t be bothered cookingsomething decent.I came across the idea on the

internet andwas intrigued. Iadapted the idea for whatworked forme and after sixyears I couldn’t go back tocooking every night.

DO YOU LIKE COOKING . . . OR IS IT ACHORE?No, I hate cooking. It is a choreunless I’m in themood for it —and even then it would besomething totally wicked like anapple pie from scratch. I thinknightly dinners are a chore andthinking of newways to servefood that the kids will eat istough.

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF ONCE-A-MONTH COOKING?

Well, apart from having to onlycook once amonth or so, meals

are a lot healthier (I sneak heapsand heaps of vegetables intomyrecipes), and I’m saving a lot ofmoney as I buy groceries in bulkso get the good deals. I knoweverymeal I pull out of thefreezer is healthy, delicious,balanced and— best of all —fast.

THE THOUGHT IS OVERWHELMING.WHERE DO I START?

My best advice is to start small.Start doing a few extra batchesof what you are currentlycooking, andwhat your familyenjoy and “save a dinner foranother night”.Next time perhaps try a

week’s worth of meals. The bookhas recipes that freeze well andin bulk, so the hardwork ofdeciding what tomake and howto store it is done.

HOW MANY HOURS WILL IT TAKE TO DOA MONTH’S COOKING?Well, like everything, practicemakes perfect. My first cooktook literally 12 hours— now Ican do it in 5. That’s five hours ofcooking for a wholemonth’sworth of meals, including cakes,muffins and slices for schoollunches andmorning teas. Ihighly recommend borrowing asmany slow cookers as you can,or getting friends to help.

WHAT DO I NEED TO FREEZE MEALSAPART FROM THE OBVIOUS (AFREEZER!)Invest in good quality freezerbags and containers. It is worthspending themoney on the goodstuff, or youwill end upwith agooeymess frozen to the bottomof your freezer.

DID YOU TRAIN IN COOKING?Nope, not at all. MyMum taught

me how to cook the basics and Ilearned from experience thehardway. As I mentioned, I don’tlike themonotony of cookingevery night, but when I have thetime and the inclination, cookingcan be very therapeutic.

WHAT ARE YOUR FIVE TOP TIPS TOACHIEVING A MONTH OF COOKING?

1. Be super organised, it is all inthe planning.2. Invest in good quality freezerbags and containers3. Cook according to howmuchroom you have in your freezer.4. Wear comfortable shoes.5. Have a glass of wine ready atthe end of the day.

WHAT ARE THREE OF YOUR FAVOURITE,NEVER-FAIL RECIPES?

My favourite recipe would be thechicken pot pie. It’s a good all-year-round comfort food. I alsolove TimTamBalls, becausethey only have three ingredientsand take just twominutes tomake. Andmy third would beEligh’s Banana Bread.

HOW DID YOU DECIDE ON THE RECIPESIN THIS BOOK?

The recipes are a combination ofthe favourites on Jody’s Stay atHomeMumwebsite(stayathomemum.com.au), andthe foods that I cook regularly inmy home. There is nothing fancyin this cookbook, they are allsimple recipes that don’t takelong tomake and don’t haveingredients you don’t know howto pronounce.

WHAT ARE FIVE TIPS FOR WRITING ASHOPPING LIST?1. If you are computer literate,do your shopping list on an Excelspreadsheet. That way each

month the ingredients are easilyadaptable. If you aren’tcomputer literate, have a pad orbook to write your “staple list”in to keep track.2. Be thorough. OAMC is all inthe planning, so this is the timeto take your time.3. Always include a small treaton the list just for yourself . Thisis a big job and you shouldreward yourself.4. Keep inmind the fruit andvegetables that are seasonallyavailable. Not only are theycheaper, they taste better too.5. Sort your list into theshopping centre aisles— itmakes it much easier to shop. .

ARE SCHOOL LUNCHES, SANDWICHESSOMETHING THAT CAN BE DONEAHEAD?

Definitely. I do all my schoollunch sandwiches on a Sundaynight. Buy the freshest breadyou can— andmake thesandwiches up right away. Thefresher the bread the better theend result. Alsomake sure youwrap the sandwiches firmly,making sure there is no air(cling film is perfect). If thesandwiches are exposed to airthey tend to get water crystalsand go a bit yuck. Only freeze aweek’s worth in advance.I freeze both honey and jamsandwiches formy boys— andthey just grab them and popthem into their lunchbox.

SO NOW WITH ALL THIS FREE TIMEHOW DO YOU KEEP YOURSELF BUSY?Well, nights withmy family arevery important. After we haveeaten I now have time to sitdownwith them andwatch theirfavourite cartoons or do somedrawing. It has allowed somuchmore “me time”. Sometimes Ieven have a bubble bath.

WHO HAS BEEN THE BIGGESTINFLUENCE IN YOUR COOKING?SorryMum, but I think it wouldbeMargaret Fulton. I adore herold-school cookbooks— they areso easy to follow, and everyrecipe I have evermade out ofher books has turned outperfectly. She showedme thatnormal food doesn’t need to beboring.

TELL US THREE THINGS ABOUTYOURSELF THAT WOULD SURPRISE US

I am totally grey (it’s ahereditary thing) and have hadto dyemy hair since I was 13.I am obsessedwith the Tudorperiod of England and own over400 books on the subject. If Iwasn’t doing Stay at HomeMumIwould like to be a historian.Before Stay at HomeMum Iowned and built a replicahomestead from the 1880s.

During the week I had aphone call from areader who was lookingfor some potassium

permanganate or its morecommonly known as, Condy'sCrystals.

I often have suggested the useof the crystals dissolved in waterto control fungus problems onplants or skin such as athleticsfoot because its an oxidizingagent.

The woman who phoned toldme she had another use for itand that was keeping lettucenice and crisp in the fridge forup to three weeks!

I was told that you take abouta quarter of teaspoon or so ofCondy’s Crystals and add towater in the kitchen sink filledto a depth that allows you tocompletely submerge thelettuce.

Beware that the Condy’sCrystals may stain your sinkand hands so maybe it would bebest to use a bucket and wearlatex gloves. In a bucket you willhave less water so use less of thecrystals. Likely a few grains willcolour up the water nicely. Soakthe lettuce in the solutionturning it around , back andforth to get the liquid rightthrough the lettuce.

Lift and once again turn itaround, back and forth to drainthe liquid out of the lettuce.

Once you have drained itthen place a paper towel into thebottom of a plastic bag, sit thelettuce on the paper towel in thebag, seal and then into thefridge.

When you bring out thelettuce to use, remove the leavesthat you require and rinse themunder a running cold tap.According to our reader lovelyfresh lettuce leaves for up to 21days. I don’t know how well itwill work on purchased lettucefrom a supermarket (as itsalready several days old when

you buy it) but fresh lettucefrom your own garden shouldwork very well.

Likely the reason it works isthat it kills bacteria which causethe aging and decay process.

While on the subject ofchemicals you will likely beaware of the banning of all mothballs including those made fromnaphthalene. This also effectedthe Cat Repellent which isnaphthalene crystals.

The product Cat Repellent isa very effective way of keep catsaway from where you don’t wantthem to go and foul. It has abouta 95 per cent success rate (Doesnot work on all cats) and its usewas a tip given to me by agardener about 30 years ago.

Anyway the concern withnaphthalene was that somechildren had put moth balls intotheir mouths and requiredmedical attention. Alsonaphthalene is not registered asan insecticide and moth balls

were used to control moths.The question was raised with

the Environment ProtectionAgency about whethernaphthalene could be used in itscrystal form as a cat repellent?After some debate it wasapproved but had to be placedinto a child resistant containerfor safety and a lot moreinformation needed to be placedon the label for the safety ofusers.

Cat Repellent will beavailable again for the newseason of gardening. One of thelabel aspects is ‘Suspected ofcausing cancer' which puts itinto the same category as anumber of commonly foundchemicals including glyphosate(such as Roundup) as well as anumber of gardening andhousehold chemicals.

With the numerouschemicals in our food chainthese days it is no wondercancer cases are rapidly

increasing every year.My advise is grow some good

wholesome vegetables and fruitnaturally to offset the poisons inour water and food chain.

I see that new season potatoesare available in some gardenshops now and even though itsonly July it is a good time topurchase and sprout them readyfor planting.

So far we are having a mildwinter and in areas where therisk of late frosts is small andwhere the psyllid damage ismaking the growing of potatoesareal problem then a very earlystart is a good tip.

I am looking to plant my earlyand only crop in a week or two.

I have raised gardens so I willbe planting the sprouted tubersinto holes about 180mm deep.

In the bottom of the hole I willplace a few Sheep ManurePellets, about a table spoon ofNeem Granules, a pinch ofBioPhos (Natural Phosphate) a

teaspoon of Rok Solid and adusting of gypsum.

A little compost to cover andthen sit the potato onto thecompost, cover with morecompost till the sprouts arehidden.

Its just a matter of checkingevery few days and if sproutsappear then cover again withcompost.

If it looks like a frost thencheck to make sure any sproutsare covered.

Once the hole has been filledin then you can start moundingto keep the tops covered.

This process should, if allgoes well, not only protect thepotatoes from any frost damagebut also encourage the newpotatoes to form all the way upthe sprouts.

Once the mounds reach aheight where its not practical tomound any more then give themound a good sprinkling ofNeem Granules, Rok Solid alittle more sheep manure pelletsalong with a light sprinkling ofBioPhos. Have frost cloth orcrop cover ready to put over thefoliage if it looks like a frost.

Plastic Pipes made into hoopsover the crop spaced about ametre a part will make a goodsupport for either cloth.

Getting the crop in early withfaster maturing varieties (90days) with planting July/August and harvest in Octobernot only allows you to obtain agood crop without damage fromthe psyllid but frees up thegarden for planting up othersummer vegetables aroundLabour Weekend.

If you want to plant yourpotatoes later in the season andyou know psyllids are a problemthen you will need to obtainQuarantine cloth is available in3.3 metre wide lengths (cropcover is 4 metres wide) and has amuch finer mesh than cropcover.

I used Quarantine cloth twoseasons ago on a late cropplanted in January when thepsyllid number were at theirhighest and harvested a greatcrop undamaged in May. Wherethere is a will there is away.■ For gardening problems ring meat 0800 466-464 (Palmerston North357-0606). [email protected]

HELP ON THE WAY: Foxton’s Nick Batt, left, runs to support teammate Mare Maxwell holding the ball.

By TANYAWOOD

There was no love lost between Foxtonand Ngati Toa in Saturday’s SeniorReserve rugby game as tempers flared andfights threatened to erupt at times. Toaemerged the winners, 28-7.

The teams have been leading the pointstable all season but Foxton hopes oftoppling Toa off the top position began tolook slim as the Kapi-mana team scored twotries, converted, in the first 30 minutes.

Down 14-0, Foxton applied the pressureand kept the ball in the tryline corner asthey attempted to push the ball over.

Frustration came to a head as themauls were collapsed time and again by

Toa, according to Foxton coach NickMcVeigh.

At this point, the game was stopped bythe referee who had a word with both teamcoaches. The coaches then had words withtheir respective teams. McVeigh’sinstructions to concentrate and focus onthe job in hand must’ve done the trick asFoxton got their try, a pushover from a

maul by prop Mike Albert, converted bysecond-five Tony Williams.

The start of the second half sawtempers bubble between opposingplayers, however Toa’s running gamewas just too good on the day, with thefinal score 28-7.

McVeigh admitted it was a scrappygame, and disappointing to have lost.

“When you play Toa it’s always a goodgame. The rugby they play is pretty muchdifferent to all the other clubs, playing arunning game and once they get the ballthey’re a hard team to stop.”

Foxton have been in second place allseason nipping at Toa’s heels, having losttheir only other game to Toa.

“We always go into a game thinking wewill win,” said McVeigh.

“Our game plan obviously worked, toget us our first try, but we didn’t keep at it.We let Toa into the game in the first halfand then just didn’t capitalise on anything

we were doing in the second half. Justsimple mistakes that went against usreally.”

With one more game to play, Foxtonhas done enough to secure their place inthe semifinals.

If they meet Toa in the finals, which isa strong possibility, McVeigh said hewould not be changing Foxton’s tactics,stringing long phases of rucks, mauls andscrums together. “We have to be a lotmore clinical and reduce the number ofmistakes we make. When you get intosemis and finals in rugby it’s pretty muchwho turns up on the day — and who wantsit that little bit more.”

Wolves have two teams in finalsBy PETER FRANKLIN

With two teams now in the finals,the Levin Wolves rugby leagueclub are in seventh heaven.

Under-15s team manger andclub spokesman Jim Gunningsaid the boys had worked hard tolift their game and came away

with a 26-20 win over topcontenders Tainui.

Gunning said after thelacklustre game the week before,the under-15s players took onboard everything coach MarioFifita told them.

“While there was only a(converted) try in it, the lads have

earned the right to play Kai Orain the finals this Friday inPalmerston North,” he said.

After missing the first roundof the 2014 season, the under-15shave had an uphill battle.

Gunning said getting into thefinals, alongside the under-17shad been a massive morale boost

for the club, supporters andplayers.

“We had a reasonable crowdcome to the game on Friday butthis week’s game is massive andif I could ask anything it would beto get the biggest group ofsupporters to be there for thefinals.”

Gunning said the performanceof the two teams this year hadgiven the club the confidence anddrive to get an under-13s teamtogether for next season.

“If we can do that, and I amsure that we can, the club willhave a team in all grades of thePalmerston competition.”

Growing croquet club forced to move after 93 years

MOVING ON: Levin Croquet Club members stand on their lawns one last time before moving to Western Park. PHOTO: TANYA WOOD

By TANYAWOOD

The growing popularity ofcroquet is forcing Horowhenua’sonly croquet club to find biggerpremises to accommodate itsincreasing membership.

Levin Croquet Club membersturned out in force this week tosay goodbye to the two croquetlawns in Weraroa Rd, the sceneof thousands of mallet stokesover the past 93 years.

The club is moving to WesternPark where a new clubroom andfour new croquet lawns will beestablished, more than doublingthe club’s facility size from 1911square metres to approximately4155 square metres.

Levin Croquet Club LoisMolloy said the club committeemade the decision to sell the oldlawns and clubroom about 18months ago, as membershipalmost doubled due to thepopularity of twilight croquetintroduced that year, attractingnew players.

“We now have 33 members,which may not sound a lot butwith just two lawns themaximum number of players atany one time is 16,” Mrs Molloysaid.

“Games take from 45 minutesfor golf croquet, up to more thantwo hours for associationcroquet, which means a lot ofwaiting around for those not inthe first draw.”

She said there was definitelysome sadness at saying goodbyeto the old lawns.

“They’ve been our home for along time. We’ve had a lot oflaughs here and there’s probablya few stories we could tell.”

The Levin club, first formedin March 1915, moved to Weraroa

Rd in 1921, and was one of the fewcroquet clubs in the country toown its own lawns. The land wassold to a private individual whoMrs Molloy believes would bemoving a house on to theproperty.

She said the money from thesale of the club’s property wouldbe barely enough to cover thecost of a new clubroom, and thatthe club would need to fundraisefor the balance of the estimated

$350,000 total cost.“It’s a nice problem to have

but it will be a challenge withfundraising and applying forgrants.”

The new clubhouse and lawnsare planned to be ready for thestart of the 2015 season nextSeptember. The four new lawnswould mean the club could caterfor up to 60 members.

In the meantime, clubmembers will be starting off this

year’s season in Septemberplaying on two temporary lawnsin the middle of Western Park.

“The park lawns are prettyrough by comparison,” MrsMolloy said.

“They’re not up to standardbut they’ll keep the club goinguntil the new lawns are ready.Everyone is just keen to keepplaying.”

The club is part of theManawatu-Wanganui

Association. Its members haveseen success in the past, mostrecently winning the AssociationCroquet Interclub competitionand came third in Golf CroquetInterclub this season.

Members have alsorepresented Manawatu inregional and nationalcompetitions.

The Levin Croquet Club willbe celebrating its centenary nextyear.

Race-bred Lightweight E-type revived

FINISHING THE PROJECT: Jaguar is to hand-build six perfectreproductions of the original, race-bred Lightweight E-type that wascreated in 1963.

By COLIN SMITH

Jaguar is to build six perfectreproductions of theoriginal, race-bred

Lightweight E-type that wascreated in 1963.

The new cars are the‘‘missing’’ six vehicles fromJaguar’s Lightweight E-typeproject, which originally startedin February 1963 with theobjective of building 18 ‘‘SpecialGT E-type Cars’’.

Only 12 of the aluminiumbodied Lightweight E-types werebuilt by Jaguar’s competitiondepartment — the last beingdelivered in 1964 — with 11believed to survive today. Theremaining six designatedchassis numbers have laindormant, until now.

The Lightweights werehomologated for GT competitionby being designated a ‘standard’roadster E-type fitted with anumber of options. Thoseoptions varied from car to car,but the main modificationsincluded all-aluminiummonocoque and aluminiumbody panels, aluminium-block,wide-angle head, dry-sumped3.8-litre XK engine with fuelinjection and an aluminiumhardtop.

Interior trim and exteriorchrome work was deleted andfurther weight-saving featuresincluded lightweight, hand-operated side windows. Allchassis numbers carried an ‘S’prefix.

The Lightweight E-types wereraced in the period by suchdrivers as Graham Hill, Jackie

Stewart, Roy Salvadori andBriggs Cunningham. Today theremaining Lightweights areregular front-runners in thehistoric motorsport scene.

The new cars will be hand-built in-house by Jaguar’s finestcraftsmen. Each car will beconstructed to the exactspecifications of their original1960s forebears — including the3.8-litre straight-six engine.

Jaguar expects a high

demand for the six LightweightE-types.

Established Jaguarcollectors, especially those withhistoric race car interests, willbe prioritised among thosepotential customers who expressinterest.

The first new LightweightE-type will make its public debutlater this year with furtherinformation to be released atthat time.

Porsche unleashes a little tigerBy Colin Smith

The new Porsche Macan S Diesel reaches the market with a $118,000 starting price.

With sales trackingtoward a newrecord just short of300 cars this year,the Porsche brand

is a revealing microcosm of the Kiwinew car market.

Like the wider market Porschesales are booming, with a big chunkof the gains delivered by SUVmodels.

And Porsche also shares some ifits challenges with the mainstreammarket. The aspect of the businesswhere progress is slow are largesedans with the four-door Panameraplaying a small role in a marketsegment which is under attack fromhigh-end SUVs.

Another trend that mirrors theoverall market is only a handful ofthe Porsches sold this year will havea manual transmission. Even in thesports car segments customers nowoverwhelmingly choose two pedals.

Poised to sink its teeth into thosetrends is the new Porsche Macan —the name of the newcomer is aderivation of the Indonesian word fortiger.

Every car company will tell youthe time is right for another SUVmodel, especially if the newcomertakes the brand into a moreaccessible price bracket.

Macan is stablemate to thelarger Cayenne and the salesprojections suggest that onceestablished in the market thatroughly two-out-of-three Porschessold in New Zealand will be an SUV.

Built in Leipzig alongside theCayenne and Panamera lines, theMacan shares its platform with theAudi Q5 but with a mix of unique-to-Porsche powertrain hardware thatincludes the V6 petrol engines, dualclutch PDK gearbox and importantlythe Porsche Traction Managementactive all-wheel-drive system with itselectro-mechanical multi-plateclutch which acts as a centredifferential to provide an obviousrear-wheel-drive bias.

The clear efforts to differentiatethe driving experience include alowered seating position and aninterior design which borrowsthemes from the new 918 Spyderplug-in hybrid supercar and thePanamera.

Macan has the wide-body and fat-tyre signatures of a Porsche withsome clever design cues that lowerits appearance on the road. There isa “clam-shell’’ bonnet, aggressivefront air intakes and the eye-catchingthree-dimensional LED tail lights and“side blade’’ styling highlights aredetails borrowed from the 918Spyder.

The Macan’s dimensions are notas far removed from the Cayenne asyou might expect. It measures4681mm in length, 1923mm wideand 1624mm in height. TheCayenne is 165mm longer, 16mmwider and 79mm taller.

And neither is the pricing a bigdeparture with the starting point of$118,000 comparing to $128,500for a similarly powered Cayenne V6diesel.

The lineup begins with Macan SDiesel and Macan S models whichshare the same standardspecification with $118,000 and$121,000 price points.

The upper realm of performancecomes from the Macan Turbo at$156,000 — although the badgingis a little misleading as all Macanshave turbocharged engines.

But that’s only the beginning forthe Macan family with a base modelfour-cylinder diesel and a hybridalready signalled and no doubtenthusiasts will want outputspushed toward 500-horsepower withfuture flagship Turbo S or perhapsGTS badged future models.

For New Zealand the standardspecification includes the seven-speed double clutch PDK gearbox,Porsche Active SuspensionManagement electronic dampercontrol, 19-inch alloy wheels (onesize bigger than than the globalwheel choice), Bi-xenon headlights,seven-inch touchscreen for audioand navigation operation andreversing camera display.

There’s a 40-20-40 split fold rearseat, multi-function steering wheeland 14-way power adjustable frontseats, electric steering columnadjustment and driver’s seatmemory.

The 3.0-litre V6 S Diesel has asingle turbo with 190kW output at4000-4250pm and peak torque of580Nm available from

1750-2500rpm. The dieselaccelerates from 0-100km/h in6.3secs and has combined cyclefuel consumption of 6.1 litres per100km.

A 3.0-litre V6 twin-turbo directinjection petrol engine powers theMacan S producing 250kW at5500-6500rpm with 460Nm oftorque from 1450-5000rpm. Itsprints from 0-100km/h in 5.4secsand fuel consumption is rated at 8.7litres per 100km.

Macan Turbo has a 3.6-litre twinturbo V6 engine with 294kW outputat 6000rpm and peak torque of550Nm at 1350-4500rpm. TheTurbo accelerates from 0-100km/hin 4.8secs and combined cycle fuelconsumption is 9.1 litres per100km.

The Turbo also has a higher levelstandard specification with heightadjustable air suspension, heatedfront seats with 18-way poweradjustment, leather trim andalcantara rooflining, brushedaluminium interior package and thePorsche Dynamic Lighting System asstandard.

The option list is extensive andPorsche reports New Zealandcustomers on average spend anadditional 10 per cent on top of the

base price.Popular options for the Macan

will be the Panoramic Roof Systemat $3590, leather trim for the Smodels (starting at $3310) and airsuspension (standard on the Turbo)at $3300. The performanceenhancing Sport Chrono packagewhich trims 0.2secs off the0-100km/h times is $2400 and thekeyless entry and start system costs$1450.

A range of alloy wheels in 19-, 20and 21-inch sizes are available andthe Macan can be dressed up withcarbon fibre “side blade” inserts , achoice of black or alloy finish roofrails and a stainless steel front andrear apron treatment.

Driver assist technologiesinclude Lane Keeping Assist andLane Change Assist ($1300 each)and Active Cruise Control is $1900.

The handling and traction can befurther enhanced with the $3300Sports Torque Vectoring Plus option.

Customising the cabin allowschoices such as coloured seat belts,embossed Porsche crests on theheadrests and several levels ofleather upgrades.

First driving impressions of theMacan confirm a more car-like

experience than the bigger Cayenne.The Macan finds a sweet spot

between the raised seating of anSUV and snug cockpit feel, the all-important steering wheel, seat andpedals relationship suggesting thedriving position of a sports car.

A high-rise centre console isstacked with switchgear andremains somewhat biased to lefthand drive application. Fortunatelyit’s only the passenger side of thedual-zone air conditioning controlswhich get obscured from the driverby the shift lever.

The Macan Turbo deliversstorming acceleration but I spent themost time driving the S Diesel whichimpresses for the flexibility of itshigh torque output and theresponsive shifting of the PDKtransmission.

The diesel’s 0-100km/h time is areasonably swift 6.3secs and whileit loses out to its petrol siblings inthat arena the mid-range overtakingresponse is impressive and the long-legged high torque cruising is ideallysuited to Kiwi highways.

The S Diesel I drove was also theonly vehicle at launch not fitted withair suspension. It was revealing howwell sorted the conventionalsuspension feels over bumpysurfaces. Perhaps the prime appealof air suspension could be the look itprovides with a lower ride height.

So far Porsche has a pre-orderbank for 80 vehicles and roughly halfof those are S Diesels. Macan saleswill push 2014 Porsche volumetoward the 290 mark — 55 per centahead of 2013 and also well aheadof the brand’s pre-GFC record of 240units set in 2005.

Looking further ahead the Macanwill play a key role in a 2015 Porschetarget that ramps up again tobetween 330-340 units.

As long as the Porscheperformance remains a microcosmof the overall market then theoutlook is bright for the Kiwi carindustry.
