After-hours clinic set to openLVN271113pjfdoctors

JOINT EFFORT: The peopleinvolved in getting a better after-hoursmedical service intoaction, from left: Sandra Lester,general manager HorowhenuaCommunity Practice, Dr ChrisLane, After-Hours Practiceproject manager HannahWatson, practicemanager ofMasonicMedical Centre, DrGraham Irving.

Confusion onwhere to find anafter-hours doctors is at an end,centralised after-hours servicesbegins onMonday at theHealthcentre on Liverpool Street and isseen to be amajor step forwardfor the community and visitorswho holiday inHorowhenua onan annual basis.

The revamped after-hourssystem aims tomake it easier forpeople to find and access ageneral practitioner or practicenurse outside of normal workinghours.

FromMonday, all of thedistricts doctors will contributeto the newHorowhenuaAfter-hours Clinic that will operate outof theHorowhenuaHealthCentre on Liverpool St, Levin.

Projectmanager HannahWatson said the clinic, for acuteor urgent appointments, wouldtake themystery out of where theafter-hours servicewas and thehours it was open.

Local GPs discussed varioussolutions and agreed that acentralisedmodel is the bestsolution they can offerHorowhenua residents needingto see a doctor or nurse after-hours.

The upshot is everyonewillknowwhere andwhen they canfind theHorowhenuaAfter-hours Clinic, MsWatson.

The clinic will operate everyweek night from 5pm to 7.30pmand from 8am to 5.30pm on

weekends and public holidays.People should phone in to

make appointments, but walk-inswill also be accepted.

Horowhenua residents willcontinue to be able to use thenational Healthline nurse adviceservice or travel to city doctorsin PalmerstonNorth if they needto see a doctorwhen theHorowhenua after-hours serviceis closed.

Aswithmost semi-ruraldistricts the size of Horowhenua,we simply cant afford to runservices to 10pm, so people doneed to plan ahead asmuch aspossible and get in to see the GPor nursewhen the after-hoursclinic is open, MsWatson said.

Whats planned is a

Horowhenua response to thelocal Horowhenua health issues.

MsWatson said the after-hours servicewas a fee-payingservice and, while the fees hadbeen reduced on average, thecost to visit an after-hours doctorwasmore expensive thanvisiting a doctor during normalworking hours.

An additional DHB subsidywill allow the after-hours serviceto be free to children under sixyears of age.

At present, people need to gothroughHealthline to accessafter-hours care and speak to anursewho assesses theirsituation. Only after a phoneassessmentwill Healthlineadvise themwhich doctor is on

duty andwhere they can belocated.

MsWatson said some peoplehad been frustrated by this andsimply hung up onHealthlineand driven around town lookingfor a doctor on duty or justheaded straight to PalmerstonNorth.

We think the solution thathas been agreed to by all thedistricts doctors will make ahuge difference and provide amuch better service. she said.

During the hours the clinic isopen, the people phoning theirregular practice will be putstraight through to the after-hours clinic. Therewill also bean extended hours clinicoperating on Thursday evenings

at DrKirstin SauermannsQueen St East surgery at 538Queen St Levin, recognising thatmany people work out of town orare unable to see a GP during theday.

This is in addition to the after-hours clinic and people will befree to choose either service on aThursday.

The TeWaiora team are alsoassessing if they can providesome extended hours clinics forFoxton and Shannon next year.

MsWatson said therewas apossibility of furtherimprovements over time. Wewill review how the service isoperating and look for continualimprovements. For now, we arereally pleasedwithwhatwe areable to offer the community intime for the festive season andholiday period, she said.

The general practicesinvolved include: Queen StreetSurgery East, Queen StreetSurgery,MasonicMedicalCentre, HorowhenuaCommunity Practice, TararuaMedical Practice, TeWaiora(partnership of Foxton FamilyHealth and Raukawa IwiMedicalServices (Te Runanga oRaukawa).

Life still good after 70 years

LVN291113pjfannaversaryHAPPYAFTER 70 YEARS:Michael and Joan Brown celebrate their 70th weddinganniversary today, a feat reached through a few simple rules, including being patient.

By PETER FRANKLIN

Joan andMichael Browns honeymoonwascut short byWorldWar II but theirmarriagehas spanned 70 years and theyre lookingforward tomanymore.

The couple said I do onNovember 29,1943 at a small chapel in Oxford, England.Joanwas in theAuxiliary TerritorialService (ATS) andMichael the navy. Joannever letsMichael forget the fact he owesher seven shillings and sixpence (75c) fortheir wedding licence.

They firstmet when Joanwas 14 andMichael was 17.

Joan left the Girl Guidemovement a shorttime later. Wewere not supposed toassociate with boys, so I gave up theGuides,she said.

The couple never imagined seven decadeslater theywould be husband andwife livingon the other side of theworld inNewZealand.

In 1956 the couple, accompanied bydaughter Ann, then 9, headed toNewZealand aboard the Captain Cook.Michael

had a job offer with the Electric PowerBoard.

The shipwas delayed and the jobwasgonewhenwe arrived, Michael said.Withno job and very littlemoney in a foreigncountry the Browns were grateful when fatestepped in.

A job in BlenheimwithWrightStevensons came up, Michael said.

Accepting the position theymoved to asmall cottage in Spring Creek, being offeredamortgage throughWright Stevensons theybought their own home.

The couple lived in Blenheimuntil 1994when theymade themove north to Levin.

Asked to share the secret of their longmarriage, they both have admit they havehad their differences.

Anyonewho says they have gonethroughmarried life without an argument isa liar,Joan said.

Weve hadmore than one disagreement.You have to talk it through, you cant letthings build up, you have to get it off yourchest, she said.

Michael agrees, Its about give and takebut dont take toomuch.

All-in-all weve had a bloody good lifetogether and Im looking forward tomore ofit.

WHEN Westpac Foxton moved into this shipping containerlast year a spokesperson said the bank is totally committed toFoxton but a proposal to close the branch in the very nearfuture has been confirmed by Westpac NZ.

Foxton branch in jeopardyFoxtonsWestpacmay closeafter 85 years inMainStreet.

I can tell you that this is aproposal . . . we are consultingwith staff and are unable tocomment further,Westpacsexternal relationsmanager,corporate affairs ChrisMirams said.

Hewould not confirmhowmany staffwould be effected ifthe proposalwas to go ahead.TheFoxton branch of the thenCommercial Bank ofAustraliaopened onMay 28 1928 at 12Main Street,moving to 62Main Street inAugust 1960.

In 1982, CBAmergedwiththeBank ofNewSouthWalesto becomeWestpac. Thebranchmoved into a shippingcontainer last year after thebuilding theyhad beenoperating out of for 52 yearswas declared inneed ofearthquake strengthening.

HorowhenuaChronicleasked at the time ifWestpachad plans to leaveFoxton. Wewill remain at our new

(container) site for the short tomedium termbut areabsolutely committed toFoxton,Westpac areamanager retail bankingDarrenCalder said in June lastyear.

Clearly its a case of a bankthat doesnt care for itscustomers, councillor andFoxton businessmanMichaelFeyen said.

There are big proposals forthe townwith the new servicecentre andmuseum,whywould youpull out.

Treasurer of the FoxtonLittle Theatre,Marie Fearonhas concerns.

Our ticket sales aremostlycash, she said. I dontwant tohave to hold large amounts ofcashuntil I can get down toLevin. Ima long-time client ofWestpac, Iwould definitelylook at changing to anotherbank.

The Netherlands Klaas

FESTIVE WELCOME: Sinterklaas is coming to Foxton and De Molen manager Micheal Feyen is makingsure hell feel right at home with a display of everything Dutch. PICTURE: FRANKIE WEBB

By FRANKIEWEBBSINTERKLAAS

Sinterklaas, also known as De Goedheiligman (The Good Holy Man), SaintNicolaas, Saint Nicholas or simply as De Sint (The Saint) is celebrated annuallyon Saint Nicholas Eve (December 5) in the Netherlands and on the morning ofDecember 6 in the other countries.Originally, the feast celebrates the name day of Saint Nicholas, patron saint ofchildren, sailors, philatelists, and the city of Amsterdam. Traditional festivityin the Netherlands is the feast of Sint Nicolaas or Sinterklaas. It does notreplace Christmas celebrations, but is a part of it.

Foxtons iconicDeMolenwindmill is benefiting from thesuccess of theDutchMarketwhich has been open for a yearnextmonth.

Makingmoney tomaintain themill was always a concern butbetween the two the future islooking very bright.

A very special visitor iscoming to celebrate themarketsfirst birthday onDecember 5.

We opened on SinterklaasDay last year, managerMichaelFeyen said.

It is a huge celebration in theNetherlands and seemed fittingwe should do the samehere.

Although the day is celebrated,it is actually a commemoration ofthe death of Sinterklaas in 340AD.It is said Sinterklaas rides acrossrooftops at night on hiswhitehorse leaving presents for goodchildren and coal for thosewhohave been naughty.

Mr Feyen doesnt believeSinterklaaswill need to deliverany coal in Foxton.

Sinterklaaswill be at theDutchmarket from 6pm to 9pmonThursdayDecember 5 andwill beat theWindmill on SaturdayDecember 7 for the samehours.

Family dog caught in gin-trap

VETGrahamCarthewinspects ShonaSieversmuch-lovedpet Rex, who had apaw snared in a gin-trap.

By FRANKIEWEBB

Rex is a lovablemutt, abit of labrador and a bitof ridgeback, heseverybodysmate.

Everybody that isexcept the personwholaid a gin-trap near hisKukuEast Road home.

Rex helps on thefamily farm, hes not awanderer and he hasnever been in troublewith the pound.

I found himwiththis huge trap on hisleg, Rexs mum ShonaSievers said. It was anold-fashioned trap,theyre illegal.

His paw bloody andtwisted Rexwas quicklytaken to vet GrahamCarthew after the trapwas removed.

I took the trap to thePolice, Mrs Sieverssaid. I contacted theSPCA, this is cruel, itsdisgusting.

Luckily theprognosis for Rex isfavourable.

Hes hobbling a bit,in a bit of pain but wethink hell be okay,Graeme Sievers said.

Thematter is underinvestigation by LevinPolice.

BLUE BEATwith GRAEME JARVISCommunity Constable

Iwas astonished lastweekto be informed of the idioticbehaviour of somepersonor persons,who left atelevision set on the railwaytracks just off theBathStreet crossing.

A goods train headingnorth then demolished theset, scattering glass anddebris for about 100metres.

This is not a newproblemand the temptationarises fromproperty leftafter hours for the SalvationArmyFamily Store,whichbacks on to the service lane.

Sadly theft of property isalso amajor problem, and Ihave been told of diningsuites, and even a pool tablebeing stolen before staffcould get to the store tosecure them.The potentialfor serious consequences byputting items on therailway lines does not barethinking about and, shouldthis ever happen,would bevigorously investigated bypolice.

The SalvationArmyoperate a free pic up serviceand anyone is free to phonefor goods to be uplifted.They are not operating arubbish dumping service.

With the onset of fineweather, and recordtemperatures recordedduringNovember, it istimely to remind everyoneheading to local beachesthat they are designatedroads, and as such, all rulesof the road apply.Allmotorvehiclesmust be registeredandwarranted, and thespeed limit of 50km/h is

strictly enforced.Cyclists, both two and

four-wheelers,mustwearhelmets. Sustained loss oftraction, doingwheelies ordoughnuts,will result inprosecutions and,depending on the charge,vehicles can beimmediately impoundedanddriver licencessuspended.

Therewill be apermanent police presenceduring the holidays atWaitarere, and beachwardenswill be out in forceon a voluntary basis actingas eyes and ears to helpkeep beach areas safe.

Vehicles of anydescription are notwelcomein the sand dune areas.

Continuing the theme ofsummer and the holidays,policewill again beenforcing a 4km/htolerance onmaximumspeed limits.Without doubtthis has saved lives andserious injuries duringbusyholiday times. Dont besurprised either, if there isstrict enforcement of otherlife savingmeasures, suchaswearing seat belts.

Madelaine'sArt, Craft & Furniture

Where ArtMeets Craft,West LovesEast,Old and Neware One!

Creating a unique style ofhomeware & giftware

Open Fri, Sat, Sun10am - 4.30pm30Russell Street,SH 1, Foxton

(behind the large teacup)

Making Foxton Funky!If youre looking for something a little different, a one-offgift thats locally crafted and truly unique then pop inand see me at Madelaines.

Im Alice Bodell and since moving to Horowhenua morethan 20 years ago, Ive always wanted to create an outletfor quality local arts and crafts people.

For most of my life Ive been revitalising and reinventingold furniture. Im a greenie at heart and I simply lovere-using and transforming something old and tired intosomething beautiful and desirable.

My style is truly eclectic, from shabby chic, French styleand rustic to hot Middle Eastern colours, paisleys andeverything else in between. I love all styles and workthem in together so that everything I make or sourcefrom local artists is funky, cool and current.

From crafts, paintings, and furniture, to jewellery, giftwareand homeware, I like to think Madelaines is where craftmeets art, east meets west and old and new becomesone.

So pop in and see me at Madelaines for that extra specialgift. Im next to the Flax Gift Shop by the corrugatedteacup on State Highway One.


Students on a mission to stop bullyingLVN291113splbullying1

SPELLING IT OUT: About 220 Year 9 and 10 students at Waiopehu College spell out their STOP BULLYING message on the college field.

By TANYAWOOD

WaiopehuCollege students havegot two simplewords for bullies stop bullying.

They also have amessage forpeople who let it happen stopbeing a silent bystander andstand up for others in trouble.

Year 9 have spent the termlooking at the different types ofbullying, creating PowerPointand video presentations tohighlight the impacts on youngpeople, and some innovative

solutions to deal with bullies.And to ensure themessage isseen and heard, the videoswill beplaying at Te Takere during thesummer holidays.

The class idea to spell out thewords STOPBULLYINGwith thestudents on the college fieldgenerated 273 likes on thecollege Facebook pagewithin 12hours of the photo being posted.

Deputy principal LindaSherlock said of the four types ofbullying identifiedverbal,physical, social (excluding

people) and cyber it is cyberbullying that is themostprevalent now.

Cyber bullying, especiallythrough Facebook andAsk.fm,are becoming huge issues for thecollege to have to deal with.These keyboardwarriors areable to take on a differentpersona because they dont haveto face the person theyreattacking.

She said one incident couldinvolve asmany as 10 studentsand it can get quite nastywith

bullied students refusing to cometo college.

What turns out to be quitetrivial in the end, can get veryheated sowe have face time atcollegewherewe get the bullyand the person being harassedtogether in a room to talk thingsthrough.

Year 9 student LukeMillardsaid another solution they hadfound for cyber bullyingwas notto block the bully.

If you block them, they thinktheyve got to you and then

theyvewon. Just ignore themand theyll get bored and stop.

Ms Sherlock said youngpeople watching online bullyinghad the chance to step in and notlike it and be prepared to saythat wasnt nice and to askwhythey are saying those things.

Young people need to bemore selective about who theirfriends really are.

And one lastmessage from thestudents if you cant sayanything nice about a person,dont say anything at all.

A programmehas been developedthat is exciting, challenging andappropriate to theRanger age group.Itwill give girls the opportunity tocome together to experience a senseof adventure, have fun, learnleadership skills and contribute tothe local communitywithcommunity action projects.

Itwill also help girls gainconfidence and increase self-esteemas they get to try adventurousactivities that theymaynot be able toexperience elsewhere.Aswell as thefabulous four-day on-site programme,there is a fantastic range of off-siteadventures over three days that thegirls can dowhich includeMudSlingers, Pinnacles andPioneers,TaurangaWonderland,WaitomoBlackwaterGlow,MiddleEarth inMatamata,AwesomeAuckland andKawauCapers.

Theywill build on specific skillsrelated to the activities theywillparticipate in, get to test theirabilities, learn aboutworking co-operatively and receive input andfeedback fromskilled, interestedleaders. The girls also get to interactwith international delegateswho are

PETER Rees 10P (Panthers) deals to Nelson Tigers 82N Jared Gray. SQUARE PHOTOGRAPHY:

Stockcar fans got a double doseof teams racing on Saturdaywhen the Palmerston NorthPanthers took on the NelsonTigers.

The Panthers were looking toavenge last years first teamsrace against the Tigers, whenthe boys from across the ditchwon the first teams race of theyear.

The Panthers were the sameteamwho lost the ChallengeCup in 2012 but for theunsuspecting Tigers the tidewas about to turn.

The action started as soon asthe flag fell, with 9P Shane Pennclosely followed by 7P PeterBengston and 10P Peter Reesmade a break at the front.

However, the Tigers werequick to hit back with 85N DaleEwers slowing the hardcharging Penn, 84N ShawHarwood got the better ofBengston with a crunching hitthat put the number 7P over onits roof. Rees lined up 82N JaredGray and delivered a boneshattering hit, but the hit alsoheld Rees up.

Harwood hit the front again,Ewers was chased down by 8PScott Miers, Miers hit theNelson car with suchforce that it rolled and burstinto flames.

At the restart Harwood wasstill in the lead, but Miersplayed block allowing Rees to goaround the outside and take thechequered flag.

In the second of the twoteams races the action was noless dramatic as each driverwas eyeing up a place in thechampionship-winning Pumas.

Asher Rees 126P took 94PWilliamHumphries out of theselectors equation by puttinghim up onto the fence in thefirst turn.

Possibles 31P Gary Davisrepaid themove by stopping theProbables number 1 hope PeterRees, Davis pushed the NZ1tank into the wall and in doing

so punctured Reess tyre.Gavin Taniwha had kept out

of the mayhem and stayed onthe lead lap as the chequeredflag dropped.
