YOUR VIEWS

Health pilotRe Horowhenua CollegeGroup Project.

Congratulations to Horo-whenua College for support-ing a health pilot programmeaimed at reducing smokingamongst Maori youth.

The original conceptstemmed from Mid-CentralHealth Board's Maori healthadvisor Doug Edwards.

A group of nine students,supported by teachers and

Whanau, have formed agroup titled “Smoke or Save"(SOS), their principle aim isto make all students aware ofthe personal health risksassociated with smokingfrom an early age and alsothe ever increasing cost ofcigarette purchases.

The group hope to attractcommunity support as wellas spreading the non-smoking message within theHorowhenua education sec-tor.

Currently it is estimatedthat the purchase of a packetof cigarettes per week costsapproximately $1000 per yearwhile a packet a day costsaround $7000 per year, quitean expense for a student orteenager with a limitedincome!

Hopefully the concept willbe taken on board by thedistrict's colleges and schoolswith an overall awareness bythe Horowhenua communityof the need to prevent the

district's young residentsforming a lifelong habitthrough cigarette smoking.

The health education pro-gramme could also includestudents being made awareof the environmental conse-quences of cigarette buttsbeing thrown on the ground,on footpaths, in kerbingchanneling and in carparkareas as well as sportsgrounds.

Extent of domestic violencebeing concealed says LabourLabour’s spokesperson for ConsumerRights and Standards and Women’sAffairs, Carol Beaumont, visited the Otakielectorate last week to speak aboutviolence towards women.

“This is a very serious issue in NewZealand,” Ms Beaumont said.

“We shouldn’t need another horrificevent such as the Roast Busters scandal toraise awareness, to get Government to takeaction.”

Horowhenua is ranked one of the fiveworst districts in the country for familyviolence, with an average of 25 incidentsbeing reported to police.

Ms Beaumont said agencies involved instopping violence in the Horowhenua-

Kapiti area attended a morning meetingwith deep concerns being raised about thelack of funding.

“What I hear from people who areworking at the coal-face is that resourcesare being stretched to breaking point and,at the same time, this government is notreleasing data on domestic violence.

“This is very concerning and points to arise in violence which just happens tocoincide with the government refusing torelease statistics,” Ms Beaumont said.

Rob McCann, Labour candidate for theOtaki electorate, said you do not need toundertake too much analysis to know thatsomething is not right. The Police won’trelease the data on family violence, and

requests to the Statistics New Zealandcome back with a hefty pricetag.

“What is even more inexcusable is thatthey will not release requested data asthere is only one court in theHorowhenua,” Mr McCann said.

“Why a region should have the extent ofdomestic violence hidden from them isbeyond me. What we know is that morewomen are ringing the Police, Women’sRefuge houses are full to overflowing andservices are stretched.

“We should not be playing politics withdomestic violence and the public and thosewho work to end the violence need to havethe information released immediately, sowe can see the extent of the problem.”

FIRE SERVICE CALLOUTSBy PETER FRANKLIN

When the fire siren sounds at allhours of the day and night the firstthing that comes to mind is aburning building but it has beenmedical assistance calls that havebeen the main focus of Levinvolunteer brigade callouts this

week.On Wednesday at 12.15am the

brigade responded to a patientneeding CPR, this follows fourother calls for health-relatedincidents.

Chief Fire Officer LindsayWalker said the incident onWednesday was a classic example

of services interacting, the 111 callwent out from centralcommunications and the firebrigade arrived first on the scene,followed by several ambulances.

He said the priority foreveryone was the patient’s care.

Other calls during the weekwere to two Levin factories where

the alarm had been activated, oninspection firefighters could notdetect a cause at either location.

The pleasing thing for MrWalker is the apparentcompliance to road safety.

He said it appeared the policeroad safety campaign was beingheard by the right people and

there were far less high speedcrashes happening on thedistrict’s roads.

“Winter is really not on us yet,but the driving conditions arebecoming more unpredictable, Isuggest people follow the simplerule — as the conditions change soshould your driving style.”

BLUE BEAT

Security andsafety hintswith GRAEME JAVISCommunity Constable

From time to time Iam advised ofdangerous practicesthat, in the interests ofeducation and safety, Ifeel compelled to passon.

I have received aletter from KiwiRailexpressing concernsabout members of thepublic crossing therailway lines at places that are notdesignated crossings. Of particularconcern is at the northern end of Levin,where people are crossing from the parkon Cambridge Street, opposite McArthurStreet, to the park on Oxford Street at theend of Kawiu Road.

KiwiRail have erected warning signs“Watch out for Trains” to help at thislocation, however vandals either removethem or are knocking them down.

Crossing railway lines without theassistance of bells and barrier arms is apotentially dangerous and foolhardy actand is to be discouraged. I will be workingwith KiwiRail to see if there is anythingfurther that can be done to prevent thispractice.

The last week has again been a busytime for Levin police staff, however theobvious trend are the number ofresidential burglaries occurring. Twocommon themes have appeared. One isthe area they are happening which isbounded by Cambridge Street andBartholomew Road, and includesRoosevelt Street. The other is the time atwhich the break-ins are happening.

On most occasions, house holders havebeen out during part the day, and arearriving home in the early evening to findthey have been broken into.

Police are sure the offenders are usingthe early evening period to commit thecrimes.

Householders can assist by makingtheir homes look like someone is homeduring the early evening. Leave lights onor have them on timers, and have a radioor television playing.

The good news is Police are workingon a number of positive leads and believethey have identified suspects.Neighbourhood Support is alsocirculating all relevant details tomembers of their groups. If you are not amember of a group, now might be a goodtime to make an enquiry. Simply ring theLevin police station on 06 366-0500.

Scams are still prevalent, and alwayshave the potential to fleece the unwary. Ihave been handed yet another veryprofessional scam letter, purporting to befrom an Australian lotto game. If youreceive such unsolicited mail, which willalso ask to send money, then the letter iscertainly a scam.

Sadly there is a legitimate Australianlotto, and often it is difficult to tell thedifference.

LVN200614splbeds

PALMERSTON North occupationalhealth nurse Noeline King, left, andHorowhenua Health Centre charge nurseDiane Hague are shown one of the newbeds that will be delivered to the healthcentre. Explaining the new features ismanufacturer representative Joel Sims.

New beds improve safetyGetting in and out of bed at HorowhenuaHealth Centre will be now a lot easier forthe elderly and those with mobilitydifficulties.

The health centre took delivery of 10new electric beds that can be lowered to35cm above the floor, which will not onlymake it easier for people to manoeuvre inand out of bed but also reduce the numberof falls that can happen at the time.

Horowhenua Health Centre has 25beds.

The electric beds replace older models,beyond their 10-year life expectancy, andthe remaining beds are due to be replacedby 2018.

Horowhenua Health Centre ChargeNurse Diane Hague said it was anexciting time for staff, providing the bestcare on the best equipment.

“It can’t get any better than that.”She said beds were an essential aspect

to optimal patient care and were onlysuitable for one patient.”

Support for bereaved parents

BOND: Wounds are still very raw for Lisa Gallagher and Rose Rickett who share abond as bereaved parents.

By FRANKIEWEBB

Few parents expect to outlive theirchildren so the sense of loss when achild dies can be enormous.

Levin bereaved mums Lisa Gallagherand Rose Rickett have walked the walkand want to be there for other parents.“When Tesh died I found it really hard,”Lisa said.

“There was no-one to talk to, privacylaws don’t allow names to be shared.”

Rose Rickett farewelled her teenageson two years ago.

“Lisa and I got together, having eachother to talk to was so therapeutic, werealised there must be some people outthere who would like to know theyaren’t alone.”

In November they formed theHorowhenua Bereaved Parents Groupmeeting on the second Monday of eachmonth at Jack Allen Community House,at 7pm.

“We have a cuppa and a chat, somepeople want to talk about their loss,others don’t,” Lisa said.

Guest speakers have been wellreceived.

“Kathy and Denis Mark werefantastic guests,” Rose said.

“We have had a policeman come andspeak.”

Members of the group are varied inage and experience.

“From a mum who has experienced astill-born to parents whose son’s bodywas never recovered,” Lisa said.

“Some suffered their loss decadesago. The pain never goes away.”

Anyone who has experienced thedeath of a child is invited to join thegroup.

By TANYAWOOD

Levin Adult Day Centrecelebrated 25 years of service tothe community and, according toone volunteer, it’s like being partof a family.

Established by members ofthe Baptist Church, recognisingthat carers needed respite andthere were also a number oflonely people feeling isolated inthe community, the centreprovides companionship and awide range of social activities,including bowls, board and cardgames, bingo, quizzes, guestspeakers and entertainment.

Trevor Wilson, 87, is one ofthe founding volunteermembers. Starting as a driver,and still behind the wheel,Trevor also stays on to help outat the centre.

“It’s the people and therelationships that keep mecoming back. People want tocome here and they enjoythemselves. You start talking tothem and get to know them. Theyare not stroke victims orAlzheimer sufferers, they arepeople. They’ve been places,done things and they let you intotheir life.

“It’s a real privilege to be partof this and we look on ourselvesas family.”

With almost one volunteer perguest, there is plenty ofindividual attention, Trevorsaid. “If someone wants to be avolunteer we ask them to comeand spend a day with us. Youhave to buy into it, people are ourfirst concern, but oncevolunteers get into it, they reallylove it.”

Centre service co-ordinatorBev Pittuck, one of two paidemployees in the non-profit

organisation, said they try tomeet individual needs of eachguest as much as possible.

“Most people enjoy the socialgroup activities but if someonewants to sit on the sidelines andwatch that’s fine too.”

She says the centre has about20 volunteers. “Members of thechurch and other people havebeen quietly beavering away for25 years providing this servicewhich is just awesome.”

The centre has wheelchairaccess and can cater for up to 25people at one time. The daily $15

cost includes all activities, two-course lunch and morning andafternoon teas. An extra $5 ischarged for Levin guestsrequiring transport to and fromthe centre, or $15 for those livingin Foxton, Shannon or Otaki.Subsidies are available fromMidCentral Health SupportLinks following an eligibilityassessment.■ The LevinAdult DayCentre isopenMonday andWednesdays,9.30am to 3pm, at the LevinBaptistChurchCentre, 12RugbySt. Ph (06)368-3032 formore information.

Appreciating ourlocal volunteerswith NATHANGUY

FROMMY DIARY■ Cabinet met onMondayand Parliament is sitting thisweek■ Tuesday I hosted localCollege head students for adinner and tour ofParliament.■ OnWednesday I’m giving aspeech in Tauranga to youngfruit growers.■ Friday is a busy day in theelectorate.

This week is National VolunteerWeek — a chance to recognisethe great work done by so manypeople in our local community.

About a million NewZealanders volunteer in someway, from coaching sports teams,helping the elderly to cleaning upthe environment. As the localMP, I see examples of this all thetime.

Te Takere is now a great assetfor Horowhenua, but it wouldn’thave been possible withoutfundraising by committedvolunteers. Quiz nights, guestspeakers, a coffee club and agarden tour all helped raise thenecessary funds.

Our local volunteerfirefighters at Shannon, Foxton,Levin, Otaki, and Waitarerestations do incredible workresponding to not just fires butall kinds of accidents andemergencies.

Volunteers are playing a bigpart in caring for the localenvironment. Groups like KeepLevin Beautiful have injectedsome real pride into the townwith many new tree plantings.

Major efforts are underway toclean up Lake Horowhenua. Thestrong local support andpartnership between iwi,farmers, HDC and horizons is amajor reason why theGovernment is supporting thisproject with $540,000.

Further north the ManawatuRiver estuary is aninternationally recognised bird

sanctuary,and localvolunteersfrom the SaveOur RiverTrust aredoing greatworkcleaning upthe Foxtonriver loopand creating

walking tracks.These are just a few local

examples of volunteering —there are many, many more andthis week is a chance to salutethem.

New Zealanders are amongthe best volunteers in the worldwith nearly a third of usvolunteering collectively about270 million hours every year.

Society as we know it justcouldn’t function without theefforts of people who want to helpothers.

Iron horse back on tracks

Dorothy Duncan shared a photograph ofPasschendaele steaming out of the loop onto the Main Trunk Line at Koputaroa onMonday.

The restored NZ War MemorialLocomotive Ab608 was on a ‘shakedown’run back to Paekakariki.

A shakedown is a period of testing or atrial journey before being declaredoperational and in this case it was the

first mainline run for Passchendaelesince being restored over a period of 20years. The Ab608 used to be a familiar sitein the Horowhenua, as it was the class oflocomotive which once ran on the Foxtonbranch line up until its closure in July1959.

Evidence of the tracks is still visiblealong Pioneer Highway into Main StreetPalmerston North.

WAIOPEHU College athlete Ema McKay competing in California.

Next year a group of 13 WaiopehuCollege students, three teachersand one parent are heading toJapan for 19 days. They will travelfrom Tokyo to Hiroshima andfinish with a homestay in Kyoto.

The students’ planning for thistrip is well underway and theircommitment to learning andfundraising is admirable.

For them to gain the most outof this trip as muchcommunication as possible will bein the Japanese language whilethere.

The aim is to be able to orderfood, ask for basic directions, buytickets etc — all things they willcome up against in day to daysituations. To this end thestudents have increased theirstudy on Language Perfect — theJapanese language acquisitionprogramme. They are studyingevery night plus spending time ontheir fundraising commitments.One of the main fundraisers isundertaking the ResidentsSatisfaction Survey for theHorowhenua District Council.

Over the next three weeks thestudents will be cold calling thewider Levin area to deliver thissurvey. There is also the optionfor residents to fill this in on-line.This can be found atwww.surveymonkey.com/s/HoroDC orwww.horowhenua.govt.nz/survey The students have to gain600 replies to this survey so bychoosing the online option, thiswill help immensely.

We are very proud of theachievements of our students both

in and out of school. Specialmention must be made of EmaMcKay, who recently competed onthe world stage in Los Angeles atthe California Track and FieldTour.

Competing in her twospeciality events, long jump andtriple jump, she placed in the top-10 in both events and received abronze medal in one of the threemeets for long jump. Emaundoubtedly has a bright future inathletics and we look forward toseeing her progress.

MLDManual Lymph Drainage (MLD) is anon-invasive massage technique. Itinvolves moving the skin over theunderlying tissues using the musclesand structure of the existinglymphatics to clear accumulatedfluid.It was developed in the 1920s and1930s by Dr Emil and Estrid Vodder,who set up training schools inAustria, Australia, Asdonk andGermany in the 1950s. MLD is one ofthe CDT (Complex or CombinedDecongestive Therapies) forlymphoedema and lipoedemawhichreduces swelling, promotes healingand reduces pain.It eases most of the tissue swellingassociated with trauma and surgeryspeeding the healing rate ofdamaged structures.

Sue Cottle wears a variety of hats, somepeople say it includes a halo.

The farmer (milking goats daily), wife,mother, grandmother, registered nurse,palliative care supporter, therapeuticmasseuse and much more, says she likes tohave one day off a week. Those luckyenough to know Sue weren’t surprisedwhen she decided she wanted to do more forher patients.

Many of her patients suffered fromlymphoedema (accumulated fluid).

“I saw how painful it is, how it can resultin continuous infections, how it can makepeople feel about their appearance” shesaid. “Oedema is like dirty water, sitting ina drain.”

Already qualified in therapeuticmassage, Sue wanted to learn how todisperse lymphoedema for her patients.Never one to leap into anything,considerable research confirmed theVodder technique of massage would fulfilher needs.

She paid her own way to become atrained therapist, even though it entailed amonth in Australia. Accepted as a studentat the Dr Vodder School, she studiedfulltime and qualified in August last year.

Returning home she wasted no timeoffering her service and, as usual, free of

charge. “This isn’t a cure for oedema,” Suesaid. “But it gives relief for a time.”

Cancer survivor, and local RuralWomen member, Fay Dalgliesh heardabout Sue’s work. The women met whenRural Woman catered for Sue andGrahame’s daughter’s wedding.

“I booked in a treatment and the feelingwas amazing,” Fay said. “The awfulheaviness in my arm was gone.”

It is 10 years since Fay won her battlewith breast cancer, the price being theremoval of her lymph nodes and resultingoedema in her right arm.

“I didn’t think it was fair Sue put somuch effort and expense into her trainingand was doing everything for nothing,”Fay said.

She bought Sue a laser applicator, butfelt it wasn’t enough. Speaking withMuhunoa East Rural Woman ChairmanMary Kilsby, Fay discovered Sue hadgiven therapeutic massage to Mary’s latehusband during his terminal illness.

“I knew our national organisation hadtrust funds and applied to get some forSue,” Mary said.

“There was no hesitation, I alsoreceived funding from the provincial areaas well.” Sue is humbled by thecontribution, she feels well rewarded withthe relief her therapy brings to patients.

Farm input costs decreasePrices for inputs used on New Zealandsheep and beef farms decreased 0.6 percent in the year to March 2014, followingno change in the previous year. That’saccording to the Beef + Lamb NewZealand (B+LNZ) Economic ServiceSheep and Beef On-Farm 2013-2014Inflation Report.

The decrease has been driven by thedecline in the cost of fertiliser, interestand fuel.

Of the 16 categories of inputs, pricesfor 12 increased and four decreased,however the size and weighting of thedecreases more than offset the increases.

Prices decreased by 6.1 per cent forfertiliser, lime and seeds; 3.0 per cent forinterest; 2.0 per cent for fuel; and 0.1 percent for weed and pest control. Electricityand repairs, maintenance and vehiclesaccounted for the largest price increasesduring the 12 months to March 2014 and

were up 4.9 and 2.6 per cent respectively.Over the most recent five-year period,

on-farm inflation was 2.9 per cent, and36.2 per cent over 10 years.

In comparison, consumer pricesincreased by 10.9 per cent over the pastfive years, and by 28.5 per cent over thelast 10 years.

Excluding interest the underlying rateof on-farm inflation was -0.1 per cent andwas down from 0.7 per cent for theprevious 12 months.

It is only the second decrease inunderlying on-farm inflation since thisreport started in 1972-73.

The sheep and beef on-farm inflationreport is compiled by B+LNZ’s EconomicService and indicates the annual changesin farm input prices. On-farm inflation isdifferent to total farm expenditure, whichalso takes into account the volume ofinputs used on a farm.

Transtasman FMD accordFoot and Mouth Disease could havedevastating impacts on the New Zealandand Australian livestock industries,exporting capabilities and tradingreputation.

New Zealand Minister for PrimaryIndustries Nathan Guy and AustralianMinister for Agriculture Barnaby Joycewelcomed the signing of a Memorandumof Understanding (MoU) to stress theimportance of collaboration in combatingthe disease and its impact.

Australia and New Zealand have

agreed to work together to prepare for theunlikely event of a foot-and-mouth disease(FMD) outbreak in either country.

The main focus of biosecurity is tokeep FMD out of Australia and NewZealand. New Zealand has joined the well-established Australian FMD trainingprogramme in Nepal, which has engagedthe United Nations Food and AgricultureOrganisation to provide veterinariansand key livestock industryrepresentatives the opportunity toexperience FMD in the field.

Research Centreset for overhaul

A photo of Wallaceville Research Centre taken in 1965.

By FRANKIEWEBBHISTORY

First known asWallaceville Animal ResearchStation, the 1905 building became a veterinaryhospital to horses at Trentham Camp duringWWI.At one stagemore than 200 horses were beingtreated or examined per day by its staff.The Hopkirk Building was built in 1941.The Buddle Block was built in 1973, the firstsection provided a library, cafeteria, boardroomand administration. In 1978 the second sectionprovided four floors of science service andlaboratory areas.TheWallaceville Animal Research Centre wasresponsible for the investigation of diseasesthat caused or had the potential to causeeconomic loss or distress in livestock.Initially the centre's primary aimwas thecontrol of disease through diagnosis andtreatment, which involved the administration ofsuitable drugs and vaccines.Its later work focused on prevention,researching and investigating the underlyingcauses of diseases and then working onstrategies to prevent them from occurring.In 2005 the name changed to AgresearchLimited, who closed their Wallacevilleestablishment in 2008. Plans for a film studiocomplex were announced in January 2013.

Preparative work is expected to beginnext month on a $65 million high-security biocontainment laboratory tobe built in Wallaceville, Upper Hutt.

The existing facility will be replaced,continuing more than 100 years ofanimal disease diagnostics at the site.

“While these current labs have a goodservice record, they are now reachingthe end of their design life,” PrimaryIndustries Minister Nathan Guy said.

The new purpose-built laboratoryfacility will be equipped to currentinternational standards with a bettercapacity for dealing with a large-scaleemergency situation. There are no liveanimals held at Wallaceville, and no liveanimal testing is carried out there.

This will continue to be the case whenthe new laboratories are built.

International company, Merrick hasbeen commissioned to design the facilitywhich will integrate two separatelaboratories so, in the event of a seriousanimal disease outbreak, maximumtesting capacity is available to helpmanage it. Construction planned tobegin early next year.

EXCELLENT: Chairman of Te Rua o Te Moko Ltd, Dion Maaka, accepts the AhuwhenuaTrophy BNZ Maori Excellence in Farming Award. The Trust receives about $40,000 inprizes donated by sponsors.

By FRANKIEWEBB

Te Rua O Te Moko Ltd emerged the winnersof the 2014 Ahuwhenua Trophy BNZ MaoriExcellence in Farming Award.

The innovation of these finalists inpulling smaller land holdings into larger,more commercially effective dairy farmsare great examples for wider Maoriagribusiness development. Te Rua o TeMoko Ltd is situated close to the Taranakitown of Hawera, running 500 kiwi crosscows on a 170ha effective milking platform.The highly successful operation is now inits fifth season and is producing 190,000kgMS.

Judges acknowledged the uniqueness inthat this operation is an amalgam of fourseparate Maori trusts who have combinedall their resources to create aneconomically and environmentallysustainable dairy operation. Bringing the

blocks together into one large farm markedthe beginning of a new era for the 1100landowners.

Individually the blocks were too small tobe farmed economically but, as a collectiveunit, they are able to provide a much betterfinancial return for their owners.Operating as a commercial dairy farm, TeRua o Te Moko Ltd also runs a trainingoperation for descendants of shareholdersthat bring back to the land. Run by LandBased Training, last year saw the first eightyoung people graduate and go on to obtainjobs on dairy farms.

Chairman of the Ahuwhenua TrophyManagement Committee which runs theawards, Kingi Smiler said Te Rua o TeMoko Ltd was a shining example of howMaori were collaborating with small trusts,co-operating to create larger moreeconomically viable enterprises whichserve local people and New Zealand better.

EYES ON THE BALL: Levin Wanderers prop Alex Bell chases the ball watched byLevin College Old Boys players Axel Nielson, left, and Sefo Tavita in the number onejersey.

By TANYAWOOD

Levin College Old Boys got their mojoback in a convincing win over LevinWanderers in Saturday’s Premier Gradematch at Levin Domain.

Two tries, one conversion and apenalty saw LCOB take the halftime leadat 15-0.

The second half got off to a flying startfor LCOB, scoring a try in the first twominutes. Wanderers were able to scratchback with a try of their own but LCOBreplied with two more tries, twoconversions and a penalty ending thegame at 37-5.

LCOB manager Dean Smith said allseason the team had slow starts, playing‘catchup’ rugby in just about every game.

“During the week we took a good look

at ourselves after losing five [games] in arow. We had to get our preparation rightand hit the field running, and got theresult we wanted.”

He said the team ran like theproverbial “well-oiled machine”. “Theforwards played a strong game, ourscrum was a weapon we continued touse, our lineouts had improved and thebacks pulled their weight. This was thefirst game we had with all our playersinjury-free and back to full strength. Itjust seemed like the boys got their mojoback.”

LCOB try-scorers were Fala Matua(two in the first half), Sani Ulu-Kini (twoin the second half) and Sefo Tavita (onein the second half). Lafi Salu took theconversion and penalty kicks.

Still at fifth place on the points table,Smith said the team should be at fullstrength to face Waikanae this weekend.

Wanderers team spokespersonHendrix Warren said they weredisappointed they couldn't get theirgame plan going. “We didn't manage totake advantage of any opportunitieswhen they came, and any momentum wehad at times was negated by an Old Boysteam that was more passionate than wewere to win the game.” Prop KurtJackson scored the team’s only pointswith a try.

Levin Wanderers sit bottom of thetable with 11 points.

Roger Bloxham — professional chimney sweep

LVN200614bloxham1

Mary Poppins loved her’s, thepeople of Horowhenua lovetheir’s. Chimney sweep that is.

Roger Bloxham, profes-sional chimney sweep, is pas-sionate about people first andchimneys second.

"People have been welcom-ing me into their homes forover 20 years,” Roger said.

"It's a huge privilege. Some-times we have a cuppa, a bit ofa chat after the chimney workis done. I've seen babies born,families grow up, spouses passon, people shift house."

It's not just families thatevolve, Roger has seen justabout every type of chimneyimaginable and he's pleased tosee they have improvedimmeasurably through theyears.

"Home fires are in generalmuch safer now, moreefficient. The old open fire is a

farce, it doesn't heat a house, itintroduces cold air into it."

As a consultant Roger isfamiliar with tell tale signs ofproblems with fire boxes andchimneys, problems whichcould ultimately cause a housefire.

"People would be amazed at

how often I see evidence ofchimney fires," Roger said.

"I'd rather be called before itgets to that stage. There aresigns of weakness in the struc-ture I can detect before it getsto a dangerous state.".

"I've kept my price forinspection and clean at $60. I

appreciate the loyalty of myHorowhenua customers, I wantpeople to be able to afford tobe safe."

He's well aware some com-panies are charging up to $85and it concerns him.

"They're not specialists,they're people who take on thejob seasonally. I've seenfireboxes burnt out becausecowboys have put the bafflesin back to front, charged plentyfor doing it, and the fireboxends up needing to bereplaced. People might feelembarrassed asking me toinspect their fire after they'vehad someone else do it, butthey needn't be. I'm just happyto be able to ensure they'resafe in their own home."

Roger is available forconsultations and sweeping byappointment. Ph (06)364-6777.

O’Donnell reflects on successful season

LVN lvn260314pjftodd

WINNING is great, but it really is about getting out there and racing hard for Foxton's Todd O'Donnell.

By PETER FRANKLIN

Foxton bee keeper and weekendracer Todd O'Donnell can lookback on the 2013/14 season with alot of satisfaction.

A 10th place in the New Zealandstockcar championships held atRobertson Holden InternationalSpeedway in Palmerston North inMarch, followed by a fifth place inthe North Island Stockcarchampionships held in Wellingtona week later were highlights. Healso picked up a spot in thePalmerston North Pumas stockcarteam in latter part of the season.

“All-in-all I'd say I had a greatseason, everything went to plan,”O'Donnell said.

Once he had made the decisionto get a new race car, he went toPeter Rees at Rees Race cars.

“I had left it a bit late, theseason was just about to start.After talking to Peter a plan wasset to get the car finished for theNZ title.”

Already with a busy scheduleplanned for the season thatincluded running their own five-car team, plus ongoing work on

other cars, the Rees crew workedout a way to fit the new project intotheir calender.

“Credit to Peter, he made thewhole project come togetherincluding having a Hartley raceengine on hand,” O’Donnell said.

In the meantime, as well asputting in his fair share of effortinto the new car, O'Donnell had toget enough races under his belt tobe able to qualify on the night.

He did that with the use ofEthan Rees' No 127p and AlecWilson's No37p. O'Donnell saidthat was one of the great thingsabout the sport, the way peoplehelped out each other.

O'Donnell arrived at thePalmerston North track with abrand new untested car. He wonhis qualifying heat and took hisplace among the 30 starters in thefinals, finishing 10th.

O'Donnell said he was not onefor politics in sport.

“It takes the enjoyment awayfrom it. I love the people you meet,the racing, the challenge to dobetter. If I win great, if I don't wellthat's fine, as long as I have given itthe best I can I'm happy with that.”
