Highs cast shadow

COUNCILLOR Tony Rush wishes a total ban of legal highs wasworkable.

Council braces for return of psychoactive substancesByPETERFRANKLIN

[email protected]

Horowhenua District Councilwants to be prepared for thepossible return of legal highs.

There was a huge publicoutcry at the sale of “legalhighs” in Horowhenua beforethe Government, undernationwide pressure, bannedthe substances while workingon rules for granting retaillicences and a testing regimefor the products.

These measures could be inplace by early next year, whichmeans the problems associatedwith the sale of legal highs willonce again become an issue forlocal councils.

Horowhenua DistrictCouncil, like all local govern-ment, will be somewhathogtied by legislation but willcontinue to contain the sale oflegal highs to the best of itsability.

At the most recent councilmeeting, councillors expressedtheir frustration that they can-not prevent the future sale oflegal highs in their patch.

The next step was toapprove a draft policy settingrestrictions on wherepsychoactive substances couldbe sold in the district.

Several councillors saidthey would much rather ban

the substances completely.The most impassioned plea

came from Cr Tony Rush, whosaid it was clear to him that thecouncil did not want to seethese products in Horo-whenua.

“It’s pretty plain to us wedon’t want this stuff in ourcommunity,” he said.

The Government bannedthe sale of psychoactive sub-stances earlier this year afterpublic criticism.

Products had been soldunder a set of interim rules.

“This problem may wellcome back to haunt us,” CrRush said. “That’s the reasonwe have to have a policy thatenables us to have some con-trol as to where and how weallow it in our community. Ireally wish we didn’t have todo this.”

He said he had seen first-hand the damage legal highscould do as a member of his

extended family had beenaddicted to a substance.

“She was addicted to thesethings, it has ruined her life. Itwill be a long time before shegets over the impact they’vehad,” Cr Rush said. “You haveto have some strong rules thatrestrict their sale.”

The rules the council isconsidering would restrict thesale of psychoactive sub-stances to the central businessareas of Levin, Shannon andFoxton. However, within thoseareas the products could not besold within 100 metres of aschool, kindergarten, place ofworship, reserve, park or play-ground.

With the draft policy nowapproved by the council, it willgo out for public consultationbefore being formally adopted.

The council’s manager ofcustomer and regulatoryservices, Mike Lepper, told thecouncillors they had to have apolicy in place otherwise theywould have no control over thesale of the products.

Having a policy that bannedthe sale of legal highs outrightwas not possible as it could besubject to legal challengesfrom the industry, he said.

Mayor Brendan Duffy saidhe would prefer the productswere not available but theGovernment had givencouncils a chance to createtheir own rules around theproducts’ sale and drawing upthose rules was better thandoing nothing.

A difficult rescue wassuccessfully completed by thecrew of the Palmerston NorthRescue Helicopter after a 17-year-

old Whanganui girl suffered amedical emergency while shewas tramping on the ManawatuGorge walking track on Friday.

arrival of the helicopter.Pilot Chris Moody said the

weather conditions at the scenewere challenging, with drivingrain and considerableturbulence combined with dense

bush. Nonetheless a safewinching operation wasachieved before the patientwas airlifted directly toPalmerston North Hospitalfor further treatment.

The rescue helicopterwas also sent to a 20-year-old man, who came off hisbike on a farm propertynear Apiti on Saturday.

Chimneys need checking

Chief Volunteer Fire Brigadeofficer Lindsay Walker hasissued another warning forpeople to think about homesafety on these cold morningsand nights.

Mr Walker said there werestill some people who haveopen fires who have yet to gettheir chimney’s cleaned. Inthe past few weeks the brigadehave been called to a numberof chimney fires.

“An open fire is a greatthing but unless they aremaintained they can be adisaster waiting to happen,”he said.

Mr Walker said at this timeof year firefighters throughoutthe district were urging peopleto think home safety.

Remember the basics likedon’t overload power boxesand keep drying clothes atleast a metre from a heater oropen fire.

By now all gas heatersshould have been serviced orchecked for leaking valves orconnections.

Mr Walker said the otherthing to be aware of was thecondition of the family car, apre-winter check was always agood thing, tyres, windscreenwipers, headlights, brakelights should all be in good

working condition.“The big thing is drive to

the conditions. If the weatheris bad with medium to heavyrain, and gusts of wind, slowdown,” he said.

Mr Walker said it did nottake much for a speeding carin the wet to startaquaplaning, and become outof control, and it could easilydrift to the other side of theroad and into the path ofoncoming traffic.

All of the fire brigades inthe district are operated byvolunteers and are notmanned 24-7. To respond to anemergency they have to eithertravel from home or fromwork. It takes time to get to thestations but regularly the bri-gade gets to an incident withinminutes of the alarm sound-ing.

Mr Walker said they arealways prepared to talk topeople who are interested injoining the volunteer fire ser-vice.

There is a lot to be gainedfrom it, in training, a feeling ofsatisfaction in doing some-thing positive for the com-munity and becoming a valu-able asset at work.

To talk to someone aboutjoining, ring the Levin firestation on 367-5800 and leaveyour name and contact details.

off.’

STUNNING gardens can be found Behind The Hedge. PHOTO: ALAN TROTT

Horowhenua’s popular countrylifestyle trail Behind the Hedgesis set to return next March.

After a one-year break theevent, which showcases lifestyleproperties throughout the

district, is to be held on Sunday,March 15.

It will again raise funds for TeTakere Horowhenua Culture andCommunity Centre, but this timeproceeds will also go to

Koputaroa School to redevelop itsplayground.

Event co-organiser andKoputaroa School ParentTeacher Association chairpersonJenny Warren says the previousorganisers did a fantastic job,with tickets selling out for boththe 2012 and 2013 events andraising a total of $43,000 for TeTakere.

“Also, almost half the visitorscame from outside the district,including Wellington, Kapiti,Manawatu, Wanganui, and evenHawke’s Bay. Horowhenua canonly benefit from all these peopleseeing and experiencing what awonderful lifestyle the district canoffer,” Mrs Warren said.

“That’s what Behind theHedges aims to do — surprise,delight and inspire people.”

Teacher Kathryn Brown,who organised the miniCommonwealth Games,said it was a wonderfulopportunity for all thestudents, teachers andoffice staff to come together.

She said the games werebuilt on the tuakana-teina‘buddy system’ where theolder students help out theyounger ones, and onbuilding teacher-studentrelationships.

“The younger childrenlove being taught by theolder students and thesporting events made thethree weeks learning morerealistic for the children,based on sportsmanship,fair play, perseverance, co-operation and teamwork.”

By JOANNRANSOM

Being a woman of a certainage, my teenage-bedroomwall was plastered withposters of Robert Plant andJimmy Page and Iremember crying whenJohn Bonham diedbecause I knew that LedZeppelin would never bethe same.

I rediscovered them lastyear when I sat entrancedthrough Celebration Day, aDVD of their reunionperformance at London’sO2 Arena in 2007. Page,Plant and John Paul Joneswere joined by Bonham’sson, Jason, and the musicwas perfection. What madethe film special was theinteraction between theband members; beautifulquiet nods and smileswhen they knocked yetanother song out of thepark.

Time has not been kindto Plant and I’m glad I’dhedged my bets becauseJimmy Page, who looksgorgeous as a whitepensioner – and still a rockgod as evidenced in theDVD ‘It might get loud’, afabulous documentaryabout three guitar heros,Page, Jack White (WhiteStripes) and Edge (DaveEvans from U2).

This spurred me to readmore about the rock godswhose music had providedthe backdrop to myteenage years and I havebeen quietly reading myway through Te Takere’scollection of rockbiographies, most recentlyRobert Plant: a life by PaulRees released last year.

What I have discoveredis the multifaceted way Inow ‘read’ a bookcompared to even fiveyears ago. As Plantreminisces about how theband developed andproduced their albums Ifound I wanted to re-listento them with my new found

insight. While I still havethe albums the turntable isstored in the garage. Whatto do?

Spotify — a free websitethat streams music. I foundLed Zeppelin 1 and startedplaying it but was quicklyannoyed by the ads thatpop up every few songs.Zeppelin albums werecrafted with the intentionthat they would be listenedto in entirety; the band didnot want to producesingles and Stairway toHeaven — at eight minuteslong — was never releasedas a 45.

I really wanted toexperience the albumsuninterrupted so a Googlesearch revealed thatYouTube has entirealbums available. The realgold though was theoriginal footage of theirearly concerts — the veryconcerts Plant was talkingabout in the book! Iplugged my laptop into theTV and spent a glorious

Sunday afternoonwatching legendaryperformances from 1969.My reading experienceconsisted of a chapter ofprint then an hour or twoon the internet‘illustrating’ the wordswith video footage, soundtracks, photo searchesand Wikipedia ‘link-hopping’.

Having overdosed onLed Zep during thatfortnight I hit Pandora —the online radio stationwhere you enter the nameof a performer that youlike and it plays a streamof similar music. Irediscovered JimiHendrix, Pink Floyd, TheRolling Stones andCreedence ClearwaterRevival.

The library collectionhas music DVDs,magazines, a surprisinglygood collection of rockbiographies and freeinternet for exploringYou Tube, Pandora,Spotify and Wikipedia.

Longfin eels need new catch limits for survivalReviewing commercial catch limits for NewZealand’s unique longfin eel are crucial tothe species’ survival, said EnvironmentCommissioner Dr Jan Wright.

She was encouraged by theGovernment’s response to reports showinglongfin numbers had been substantiallyreduced, and its commitment to rebuild thepopulation.

“The Minister has recognised the needto set targets to achieve this and hasproposed some practical measures,” said DrWright. “This includes a commitment torevise commercial catch limits. Reducedcommercial limits overall will be crucial tothe survival of this extraordinary anduniquely Kiwi species.

“While the longfin eel is threatened by acombination of habitat loss, fishing andhydro dams, fishing is the one thing wherewe can have an immediate impact.”

Dr Wright also welcomed plans to usebroader and better information on the eelpopulation, allowing assessments to bebased on improved evidence.

“New Zealand longfin eels are thelongest-lived and largest freshwater eels inthe world, and the top predator in ourfreshwater ecosystems. They only breedonce at the end of their life after a perilous5000km journey north into the Pacific,”said Dr Wright.

“The longfin eel has lived in NewZealand for over 20 million years, and is ofgreat cultural significance to Maori. Wehave a responsibility to those who comeafter us to ensure the population canrecover and flourish.

“We must not gamble with the survivalof a species that is so special. We need totake a conservative approach to lookingafter them.”

A panel of international experts wasconvened to look into the longfin eelpopulation after Dr Wright raisedconcerns in a report in April last year.

The panel criticised the limited set ofinformation being used to guidemanagement decisions, and recommendeda more comprehensive approach be taken.

A proposed package of measures toimprove the status of New Zealand’s iconiclongfin eel population has been announcedby Primary Industries Minister NathanGuy.

“The longfin eel is the largestfreshwater eel in the world and is onlyfound in New Zealand. This package of

measures will help ensure its survival forfuture generations.”

The proposed measures include:■ A review of longfin eel catch limits.■ Consideration of separate longfin andshortfin stocks in the South Island.■ The introduction of abundance targetlevels.■ Improved information from thecommercial sector.

These measures follow a review by anindependent panel of internationalscientific experts.

“The independent panel reviewed all ofthe information on the fishery andconcluded that while there was a trend ofdecline from the early 1990s to the late 2000s,there has been a relatively stable, and insome cases increasing abundance in recentyears.

This can largely be attributed to reducedcatches associated with the introduction ofeels into the Quota Management System in2000 for South Island stocks and 2004 forNorth Island stocks.

“Based on this information, advice fromMPI and feedback from iwi and industry,I’m confident this package will support therebuild and long-term sustainability of thelongfin eel population.”

The independent review was arecommendation of the ParliamentaryCommissioner for the Environment in herApril 2013 report on the status andmanagement of longfin eels.

“At this stage the scientific informationdoes not support a closure of the fishery.The controls available in the QuotaManagement System allow me to managethe fishery to ensure it rebuilds, whileallowing people to sustainably use theresource.

“There are a range of factors affectingeel productivity and abundance which arenot solely related to commercial fishing.Input into this process from iwi,stakeholders, and the public is vitallyimportant. Discussions will begin later thisyear with formal consultation to start earlynext year.”

NEW CENTRE:EwenThompson,left,Horowhenua-Kapiti CricketAssociationoperationsmanager, andchairmanDennisAldridgeinside thesoon to becompletedindoor crickettraining centreat DonnellyPark.

Bowling cricketers overBy TANYAWOOD

It’s been a long time coming but the newindoor cricket training centre being built atthe western end of Donnelly Park in Levinwill be ready for the 2014-15 season.

The new 702m2 indoor centre willinclude a spacious turfed area with twolanes long enough for full bowling run upsand a specific lane dedicated to a bowlingmachine.

Changing rooms, a toilet block, storageareas and an office complete the trainingcentre. The park currently has two grassand three outdoor artificial cricket blocks.

The new facility, a joint venture betweenHorowhenua Kapiti Cricket Association(HKCA), Levin Old Boys Cricket Club(LOBCC) and Weraroa Cricket Club underthe banner of the Levin CricketFoundation, will enable year roundtraining at Donnelly Park, part ofHorowhenua District Council’s DonnellyPark multi-sports development.

Council approved release of a $75,000insurance payout, held in trust after firedamaged LOBCC clubrooms at WesternPark in 1999, to help finance the new

facilities that will house LOBCCmemorabilia and honours boards.

LOBCC club president Vinny Bainessaid the club will have a dedicated changingarea in the new centre at Donnelly Park, itsnew home ground.

He believes local cricket will go fromstrength to strength. “It’s a big step in theright direction in developing our youthcricketers and we’re (LOBCC) happy tohave a place to display our history.”

Ewen Thompson, recently appointedoperations manager of HKCA, is excitedabout the wider community benefits of thecentre and developing the next Ross Tayloror Kane Williamson (New Zealand testcricketers).

“An indoor centre is a vital cog of anysuccessful district and will provide for allages from Foxton to Wellington to learn thegame all year round. It will definitely be akey factor when talking to major cricketassociations about hosting a lot more repgames and junior tournaments here.”

The Levin Cricket Foundation would betasked with the everyday running of thefacility, the opening date of which is yet tobe finalised.

GETTING ready for the big start.

Who said Levin did not have asense of humour. Well ten eagerlocals, including one hungryman from Shannon, took on thechocolate eclair challenge at theSponge Kitchen on Friday.

Up for grabs, apart from amassive chocolate eclair, was a$100 voucher.

Now mention free food andyou would expect half the districtto be lined up, and so they did butfor the majority it was to watchten 500gm eclairs get gobbled upin the fastest time. It was alwaysgoing to be a messy sight butwith the last munch it was SimonRabitte from Shannon whoemerged chocolate eclair eatingchampion.

House full of fun

LVN140514milvale

The winter months havemainly kept us indoors, butthis does not mean we havebeen idle at Millvale House.

Residents were involvedin weeks of preparation forour Mid-Winter FamilyGathering on July 15.

Our theme was Black,White and Silver, and withthe fantastic help from ourstaff members, all resi-dents were dressed for theoccasion in combinationsof this colour scheme. Itwas lovely to have so manyfamily members joins us onthe day.

Some family memberswho have visited lately mayhave noticed some resi-dents polishing brass ware.The Hospice shop in Levinprovides us with brassornaments, vases, etc topolish before they are putup for sale. We have hadsome pleasurableafternoons sitting, chattingand reminiscing whilepolishing the brass.

This is a fabulous wayfor our residents to partici-pate in a community pro-ject and have a purposewith the activities they do.

Not many of us can

resist a cute and cuddlypuppy no matter what yourage.

We were very fortunateto have a staff memberbring in two gorgeous8-week old puppies to visit.

Those little puppiesmust have been worn outby the end of the after-noon, because no onewanted to let them go. Pettherapy provides somepeople the opportunity to

give and receive love,warmth and friendship.

We know spring is notfar away as the daffodils wepotted up a month ago orso are starting to flower.

Having them in pots hasallowed us to bring theminside to share with resi-dents who are unable to getout into the garden. Alovely show of goldencolour on a winter’s daycan certainly work magic.

RIGHT: Melachi Meads, left, isplanning to be a regular at the

community garden after his unclebrought him down to help out for a

day. No stranger to gardens or ahammer and nail, having built his

own tree fort — “it turned out a littlebit wonky but it was still ok” — and a

raised vegetable garden where hehas grown potatoes and carrots,

Melachi, 13, said his first impressionof the community garden was

“wow”. “There’s a lot going on, andeveryone is so nice, they don’t mindif you make a mistake. I hammered a

nail into a knot and it stopped the naillike concrete and it was pretty hard

to get out without help.”

By TANYAWOOD

JOINT EFFORTThe community garden, He TupuNgatahi, in MakoMako Rd, aninitiative of the Department ofCorrections Levin CommunityProbation Service and LevinAnglican Church, wasestablished 18 months ago as away for low-risk offenders tocomplete their community workand gain an NZQA qualificationin horticulture. The garden isalso open to members of thepublic who would like tovolunteer their time and labour,and all produce grown issupplied to churches and foodbanks in the local area.

Levin’s Garden of Eden will soonhave its own glasshouse and thecommunity gardeners will belooking for willing volunteers tohelp assemble the 30m x 7mstructure.

David Brewerton, part of thewider Greenhouse Communitythat helps run the garden inpartnership with the probationservice, said the greenhousewould allow them to propagatetheir own seedlings.

Donated by Linton Prison, theglasshouse is waiting to betransported by Linton Armyengineers. “We have no fixed date,it’ll be a case of hearing one dayand then it turning up the next.We’ll have to unload it and figureout how to put it together.”

The glasshouse is just one of anumber of projects currentlyunder way at the garden,including painting andwaterproofing a container thatwill serve as a garden shed and awooden gazebo being built for thevolunteers to gather under andrelax after a hard day’s plantingand weeding.

David said about a dozenregulars pitch in at the gardeneach Saturday morning but morepeople were turning up — mostlyrecently retired people, askingwhat they can do — which is“really cool”.

“There’s always plenty ofplanting and weeding to do andsoon we’ll be planting potatoesnow that we have a rotary hoe upand running.”

Horowhenua College netballers on target for promotionHorowhenua College Senior 2netball team played a fast, well-controlled game on Saturday tobeat Otaki College Year 9, 38-22,leaving the Levin team unbeatenin the second round of theCollegiate 1 grade.

Good timing of movementsand accurate passing led to somevery slick downcourt flow,according to team coach RobynWills.

“The girls’ defensive workwas strong, focusing on one-on-one marking, and plenty ofpressure on the pass enabledother players to pick up manyclean interceptions.”

Horowhenua look to befavourites to win the gradefollowing the promotion of OtakiSenior B into the Premier Gradeafter round 1.

The game betweenHorowhenua and Otaki team,Rahui Rangatahi — alsounbeaten in the second round, islikely to be the decider for the topspot. In their previouscorresponding match in round 1,Horowhenua won comfortably.

Not all mulches are good for the gardenDiggingin

WALLY RICHARDS

BE careful when usingmulch.

Arecent article about aherbicide laced mulch agardener wrote to meabout which killed

many of her roses caused a lot ofinterest and two readers emailedme in regards to their owngardening disasters.

The first of these is an aspect Iwould have thought could neverhave happened but it did.

The email reads; Wally, keepup the good work . . .

The article on pesticideresidues killing roses is timely!

My friend and I haveexperienced a similar episodewith “pea straw”.

Several years ago wepurchased a big bale of “peastraw“each from a local serviceclub, for mulching our gardens.What we weren’t told was thatthe pea crop was sprayed pre-harvest with Roundup. When thepea straw was applied to ourgardens, they grew sick and died. . . Now three seasons later ourgardens are still very sick, withmany deformed and sicklyplants: with beds of brassicasthat refuse to flower after sixmonths and so no cabbages,caulis or broccoli . . .

I have gardened organicallyfor 40 years — this is the firsttime I have been caught out bypesticide residues in straw . . .

This happened simultaneouslyin both our gardens which arehalf a km apart . . . so it cannot beput down to other factors.Regards Haikai

Well that takes the cake andhopefully there are not too manygrowers out there spraying off

their paddocks of peas withRoundup then selling the peastraw to unsuspecting gardeners.

Roundup commercially ischeap and nasty and I have hadcomplaints before where potatocrops have been sprayed pre-harvest with Roundup to kill the

foliage before the potatoes arelifted.

The practice is frowned uponbut its not illegal to do so as far asI am aware and none of our foodin this country is tested forGlyphosate residue levels.(Which is really stupid as I am

sure the results would shock usall)

Potato growers are supposedto use a different more expensivechemical to kill the potato foliagebefore harvest.

Back when I was a teenager Iused to go out in thesummertime, potato picking tomake a few extra bob. (An oldexpression for money referringto shillings for instance 2shillings would be called 2 bob)

Anyway the farmer would puta chain on the back of the tractorwhich would spin in a deadlycircle and cut the tops off justabove ground level. Bit like amassive weedeater.

I think most pea straw soldwould be ok for use around thegarden but you never know now.

The next email was evenworse as it exposes that not allthings are cracked up to be whatthey are supposed to be. (weknew that anyway):
