Protest sparks tension LVN160414PJFHIGH1

CONFLICTING VIEWS: Tension rose as legal high customers and protesters against the sale of the synthetic drugs argued their point.

PETER FRANKLIN peter.franklin@chronicle.co.nz

Levin police were on stand-by last Thursday as protesters against the sale of synthetic legal highs again organised a vigil outside the only retailer in Levin supplying the synthetic high. Protest organisers Rob McKenzie and Marlene Thompson said they will continue protesting until a legal means comes into effect to stop the sale of the drug, which they claim to have evidence of its harmful consequences. During the protest the Oxford St shop was closed, which irritated regular customers who voiced their frustration at the protesters. Senior Sergeant Sarn Paroli of the Levin police said police were in attendance to ensure things did not get out of hand, and while there were some verbal exchanges between the two parties, no arrests were made. Mr McKenzie said over 3000 signatures against the sale of legal highs have been gathered. That is about 10 per cent of the district’s population, and more people are signing up daily to their Facebook page, Mr McKenzie said. ‘‘This stuff (legal highs) is harming people, and in some extreme cases, killing them,’’ he said. Mr McKenzie said government put an age limit on

INSIDE

the purchase of the synthetic drug, but he has seen first-hand people coming out of the shop and handing over the drug to teenagers, aged 16 and under. Retail shops close to the legal high outlet told the Horowhenua Chronicle that from when the shop opens about 9am, there is a constant stream of young people going into the shop. Horowhenua District Council is to draft a policy to help minimise the impacts and any harm caused by legal highs. The Local Approved Products Policy for Psychoactive Substances will enable control over the location from which such products may be sold. Council’s environmental services manager Tony Thomas

said that in Horowhenua, there is currently only one outlet selling these products. Mr Thomas said seeking a complete prohibition of legal highs is something that is beyond the council’s jurisdiction. ‘‘While councils are not legislatively required to develop Local Approved Products Policies, such policies would require any outlet of psychoactive substances to comply with rules.’’ Mr Thomas said that work done through the Social Sector Trial in Horowhenua indicates there is commitment from all but one retail shop owner to be legal high-free. Local Government New Zealand (LGNZ) is currently providing input to discussions

with central government to develop further tools that councils can use to control the sale of psychoactive substances. LGNZ’s submission on the regulations advised shops licensed to sell approved products to specialise in the sale of these substances and not sell other products, especially any that appeal to a youth market. LGNZ would like to see regulations introduced that specify both minimum and maximum amounts of an approved substance that can be purchased in a single sale. They would also like to introduce an excise tax on approved products to reflect the cost to the health system and community of people consuming the psychoactive substances.

SUNSET STUNNERS: Horowhenua Chronicle reader Chrissy Clifton took these stunning photographs of sunsets. They were captured from Tangimoana Road, Ohau looking south west Levin towards the beach. ‘‘The colours are outstanding and the cloud formation is so cool,’’ Chrissy said. We would have to agree. The contrast in colours is quite magnificent and another reason why we love this place.

Students were always priority

NEWS IN BRIEF

TANYA WOOD tanya.wood@chronicle.co.nz

Horowhenua College principal Brenda Burns says more than anything, she will ‘‘really miss the kids’’ when she retires at the end of the month after 12 years at the helm. ‘‘I can honestly say it’s been a wonderful 12 years and it’s now the right time to move on with the next chapter in my life,’’ she said. Originally from Liverpool, England, Mrs Burns arrived in New Zealand in 1971 with husband Derek to ‘‘try it out for five years’’. Her first teaching role as a maths teacher at Naenae College, Wellington, was followed by teaching posts in Auckland at Glenfield College, Henderson High School and Kelston Girls. Appointing Brenda as the new Horowhenua College principal was ‘‘a bold move’’ back then, according to Bernie Wanden, chairman of the Horowhenua College board of trustees that appointed Mrs Burns. ‘‘She was the first woman appointed as principal but she was certainly the most qualified at the time. It was a unanimous choice by the board and, on a personal note, I think Brenda has given outstanding service to the college in her 12 years. The college is looking fantastic and the quality of students leaving has not diminished in any way.’’ Mrs Burns said she was determined the college would be ‘‘as good as any other school in the country’’ and took exception to the word ‘decile’ being applied to schools. ‘‘I’m sick and tired of hearing about deciles as a means of judging the quality of what’s happening in a school. Teachers in so-called lower decile schools have to be really good and inventive to be able to teach a variety of students, not all who come to school wanting to learn. ‘‘Our teachers do more than deliver the curriculum, they care about the kids and that is fantastic. I want every kid to succeed. Success is about the best you can be.’’ The college’s unofficial motto is ‘NUA’ — Never Under Achieve. A self-described ‘‘change

Popping in for a quick visit last week was Minister of Social Development and Local Government Paula Bennett, who spent time with Otaki MP Nathan Guy, left, in the community. Ms Bennett visited the Horowhenua Learning Centre, Work and Income office, and Life to the Max. She was particularly impressed with work being carried out as part of the Social Sector Trials being conducted in Horowhenua. Wearing her Local Government Minister’s hat she had a meeting with Horowhenua Mayor Brendan Duffy before returning to Wellington.

PHOTO: TANYA WOOD person’’, Mrs Burns said not everyone was comfortable with change. ‘‘You take some people kicking and screaming, but you have to do what’s best for the kids.’’ During her watch, the college also underwent extensive refurbishment, in

for Year 9 students. Not without its challenges, Mrs Burns likens a principal’s role to managing a big business. Issues over financial reporting and a breakdown in communication between the board of trustees and Mrs Burns, led to the college being placed under limited statutory

particular the library, technical block, gym complex and performing arts centre, which Mrs Burns describes as all ‘‘superb’’. A great believer in teaching an individual, she said ‘‘you can’t teach a class’’. ‘‘You can give a class information but, when it comes to the understanding, it’s done on an individual basis because everybody learns differently.’’ She said the college was on track with more individual learning programmes, including iPads now available

management by the Ministry of education in June 2013. Mrs Burns would not go into the detail but said the lines between governance and management were being sorted and the college now had a new financial/accounting package. ‘‘There has been no downside to having a limited statutory manager in place and we are finally getting a report for the board shortly that we think everybody is going to find useful.’’ She believes she is leaving

the college in a good place for the next principal. During her last two weeks, Mrs Burns will still be ‘‘on deck’’ available for staff while she finally gets a chance to clear her office ahead of retirement — gardening, building a house, a holiday in the UK and playing with the grandchildren are on the list. There are no plans to move away from the area and she may look to pick up a teaching role in the future. ‘‘I can’t imagine not being involved somewhere, but we’ll see.’’ At her official leaving celebration on Friday, attended by family, friends, colleagues, students, board members, Otaki MP Nathan Guy, Horowhenua Mayor Brendan Duffy and Ministry of Education staff, Mrs Burns was presented with a limited edition print of the college and a laptop but most moving, she said, was the haka and greenstone necklace given to her by Maori students. Deputy principal Sharon Moerkerk will be acting principal until a new principal is appointed.

Parking fees not changing

Car parking fees at Palmerston North Hospital are set to stay unchanged for the near future. The introduction of paid parking in February 2011 has generated sufficient revenue for the MidCentral District Health Board as well as effectively managing traffic and parking at the hospital, according to a three-year review. The hospital has 650 patient and visitor parks, plus 904 staff and MDHB vehicle parks. A concession and exemption system is available for emergency and in-need cases. Commercial support services group manager Jeff Small said the hospital parking charges compared favourably with other health boards and local parking charges, and the revenue it provided would help cover ongoing maintenance and management of its roading and parking facilities.

Prize car found in a mess By PETER FRANKLIN The owners of a 1974 GT Falcon, that was their special car, were devastated when police showed them what was left of their ‘‘baby’’ on Friday. Police arrested a 25-year-old Levin man on Thursday after two search warrants had been executed at Levin properties. Detective Richard Morse said the vehicle would undergo forensic examination, which may lead to more arrests.

Mr Morse said the owners were devastated when they saw the vehicle for the first time since it was allegedly stolen on January 6 this year. He said the police tactics squad had been working very hard, sifting through information and evidence that led to the arrest. When stolen, the 1974 GT Falcon, a very collectable vehicle, was locked in a garage and is believed to have been stolen at about 3.40am on Monday January 6. The car had been completely stripped,

Day of Dutch delight

STARTING THURSDAY

By FRANKIE WEBB Dutch flags will be out in Foxton on Saturday April 26. This will be the Foxton Windmill Trust’s second Big Dutch Day. ‘‘It was so successful last year, it has to be an annual event,’’ De Molen (Mill) manager Michael Feyen said. Last year recognised De Molen’s 10th anniversary and celebrated the coronation of the Netherlands first King for 123 years. This year the celebration is close to home and close to the heart of those who know the history of De Molen. ‘‘We celebrate and recognise the vision Jan (John) Langen and Cor LVN100414fwdutch Slobbe had in seeing the windmill project from its WEAR Dutch national costume, like Jessie Feyen, or inception,’’ Michael said. something orange, the Royal Dutch colour, and you ‘‘With Jan (John) could be in to win a prize at the Big Dutch Day in Foxton.

Royal visit again a huge success with NATHAN GUY Otaki MP

It was an honour and a privilege to catch up with the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge at the Royal Ceremony at Government House in Wellington last week. It was great to meet the Duchess of Cambridge, as it was to catch up again with Prince William whom I was lucky enough to meet in 2010 when we visited Kapiti Island with Prime Minister John Key. I have fond memories of that day. Kapiti really turned it on — the sea was calm, the sun was out and many locals lined Paraparaumu Beach to welcome the Prince to our region. Prince William took the time to meet hundreds of local Kapiti people before boarding the boat. Both the Prince and the British Press were blown away by the beautiful scenery and wildlife on Kapiti Island, and the reception they received while in our region. Prince William managed to successfully release a Kiwi on to the island which was a real highlight. He also made a huge impression on many locals, including selected students from our three Kapiti colleges. These visits are great for New Zealand’s international image and reputation.

FROM MY DIARY - Cabinet was on Monday. - Parliament is sitting this week. - I will be attending some local events over Easter. In my view, the royal visit has been a real success and this is down to the warm welcome and great nature of New Zealanders as their hosts. Whether it was Plunket’s day hosting Prince George’s first public outing or the Duke and Duchess’ public visits around the country, New Zealand has put its best foot forward in welcoming our visitors.

Outdoors article

I read the article printed on page 21 (April 2) with a mounting sense of unease. What kind of ego trip was this woman on? We live in a time when judges routinely punish adults for smacking their children, and will send them into custody for using a wooden spoon or a belt. This woman gloats about forcing three small children — the youngest just six years old — to ride mountain bikes through remote mountainous bush country for three days, covering 82km, out of cell phone coverage and when apparently there was a possibility of deteriorating weather. She even poses one child, alone, in the middle of a high and long suspension bridge. Makes the photo more interesting? Isn’t this child abuse? (abridged) BRIAN GORE Levin

the lake without a resource consent from Horizons Regional Council, the Lake Accord action plan is designed to upgrade the lake within two years with the lake bed not being disturbed on cultural grounds. With five organisations signing up to the Lake Accord, the public’s expectation would have been to see progress being made on the quality of the water and the general lake environment. With ratepayer’s funds being used together with taxpayer funding it is rather disappointing that one owner apparently supported by the Muaupoko and Ngati Pareraukawi Iwi, can jeopardise the Lake Accord agreement and the possibility of returning the lake to its original state as the ‘‘Jewel of the Horowhenua’’.

A women pedestrian was injured when a elderly lady drove her car over the footpath on Oxford Street striking her with such force that the women fell back on to a plate glass shop window. The crash happened at about 11am last Thursday. St John ambulance staff treated both women at the scene. It appeared the elderly driver of the car had a medical condition at the time of the accident. The victim said later she thanked all those passersby who came to her aid, especially the police and the owners of the shop where the accident happened.

Fun at the Razza THEATRE REVIEW Poppy Day Written and directed by Valerie Franklin Levin Performing Arts April 11 - 26 Tickets $25 (show only) and $45 (plus meal) Review by Alecia Rousseau Award-winning playwright Valerie Franklin has done it again she has managed to produce a show which is set in the Shannon RSA, to be surprisingly funny, down-to-earth and rather witty. The play is based on circumstances an audience can easily relate to; a nosy barman who misinterprets a conversation he overhears, fake drug deals and seemingly unknowing policeman. The cast appeared well-rehearsed and I must comment on the acting of Peter Franklin, playing Brownie. He brings a refreshing comedic stance to the stage and lifted the mood in the theatre.

The lead role is a stereotypical Major; he’s arrogant and seems obsessed with cutting costs and keeping the trimmings for himself. Ordering a cheaper shipment of poppy’s from India proves to be a lot more than he bargains for. Jokes are regularly scattered through the dialogue, perfectly timed to enhance messages about minding your own business or what to do with those that don’t. The set happily lends itself to the actors, with a cutout picture of Queen Elizabeth allowing for a hysterical moment that left some audience members wondering what all the fuss was about. The three-course meal prior to the show was well-cooked and enjoyable and I would certainly recommend this as part of your evening. Little pauses between scenes mean you are kept entertained the whole way through, with a nice half way break to let you perk up your senses. The second half is by far the climax of the show and, with the rolling jokes and cheerful authenticity, I do recommend going to see this show.

Our feature Itinerary would see you embarking on an extraordinary circumnavigation of Africa – a seagoing safari that encompasses worlds of beauty, wildlife, culture, history and colour.

Hillary Clinton sits on the sidelines of American politics as opponents and Democrat colleagues alike speculate about whether she will run for the presidency in 2016. Like her husband and former President, Bill Clinton, Hillary Rodham Clinton polarises opinion. The far right demonises her, while her career successes have prompted jealousy and resentment from those on the left of the political spectrum who talk about the Hillary juggernaut swooping on the Democrat Party presidential nomination for 2016 as if it were a foregone conclusion that she will run. This book at times reads like a lengthy application form for the world’s most powerful position, as it sympathetically chronicles her four arduous years as President Obama’s first-term Secretary of State. By most accounts Hillary Clinton came to the job after eight years as a Senator, during which time she emerged from the shadow of her husband’s presidency. She was a surprise appointment to Obama’s cabinet because he had beaten her during a brutal primary campaign leading up to the 2008 presidential election. The two combatants closed ranks and, despite lingering resentment among their respective supporters, she became one of Obama’s most trusted and loyal supporters. The book starts with details of the Clinton family’s list of supporters and traitors, some of whom defected at crucial times to help deliver the presidential nomination to Obama. By this account Hillary relatively quickly adapted to her failure to win the nomination, falling in behind Obama. Husband Bill took longer to warm to the new President, who had delivered an unaccustomed setback to the Clinton political dynasty.

HRC — State Secrets and the Rebirth of Hillary Clinton By Jonathan Allen and Amie Parnes, Random House, $39.99

Even while his wife was Secretary of State, the book says, Bill Clinton maintained his rage against former colleagues who deserted his wife’s campaign to back Obama. Now as the 2016 presidential election looms, Hillary is the presumed frontrunner to become the Democrat’s candidate. But while supporters have continued raising funds and maintaining a political machine to back a likely campaign, Hillary has steadfastly refused to say whether she is up for what is guaranteed to be a tough political fight. The book, written by Washington correspondents for respected websites Politico and The Hill, suggests she is taking a break from public life in preparation for a final tilt at the presidency. Counting against her is her age and her health — she would be 69 by the time she took over the White House after the 2016 election, and she suffered from exhaustion and other health issues after four punishing years as Secretary of State. Republican strategists are already highlighting the ages of Clinton and the other likely candidate for the nomination, Vice-president Joe Biden, against most of the likely Republican contenders who are in their 40s. Meanwhile, as the book makes abundantly clear, the hugely experienced and expert Clinton political machine continues to build funds, credit and endorsements for the 2016 campaign.

THE deadly parvo virus is killing dogs in northern Wellington suburbs and Wanganui. Dr Simon Clark, Head Small Animal Veterinarian at Levin and Horowhenua Veterinary Centre invites owners to bring their dog to a ‘budget’ parvo clinic between 2 and 3pm on Saturday at the Queen Street clinic. PHOTO:

FRANKIE WEBB

Parvo protection essential By FRANKIE WEBB Record outbreaks of the deadly canine parvo virus is killing dogs in northern Wellington suburbs, Wanganui and Marlborough. Horowhenua vets have seen cases but not the outbreak proportions recorded in these other areas. Survival rates are not high, the death is a particularly horrible one for the dog with acute diarrhoea and vomiting. It can be transmitted very easily and the outbreak is thought to have begun with a dog from outside the area. The virus would have been easily spread because Porirua has a history of wandering dogs. CareVets New Zealand Porirua and Tawa clinics traditionally saw about 12 cases a year but lately had been seeing a case a day. Head Small Animal Veterinarian at Levin and Horowhenua Veterinary Centre is pleased Horowhenua hasn’t followed suit. ‘‘It’s frustrating to see cases of parvo when there is such an effective

vaccination,’’Dr Clark said. ‘‘Horowhenua owners generally show responsibility getting their dogs vaccinated.’’ Any healthy dog or puppy six weeks or older can be vaccinated. ‘‘Treatment for dogs which have contracted parvo can start at around $800 and there’s no guarantee of survival,’’ Dr Clark said. ‘‘It is a particularly nasty disease for a dog to contract.’’ Dr Clark started budget parvo clinics three years ago to try to combat the disease in Horowhenua. For $40 cash dogs are given a quick health check, and providing they are well, will be vaccinated with ‘no questions asked’ regarding previous history. The clinics, held on the third Saturday of every month from 2pm to 3pm, have seen hundreds of dogs which may have otherwise gone unprotected covered. ‘‘Although the clinic falls on Easter this time we will still go ahead,’’ vet nurse Carol Christensen said. ‘‘There are puppies due for their next shots, we want to make sure we’re here for them.’’

STAR WATCH

An eventful week in the night’s sky By GLEN SMITH In our southern skies for April at the moment, Jupiter is the evening planet. It is first seen after sunset which is in the northwest sky and sets around 10.30pm. A telescope is not needed to see Jupiter, but if you happen to own one, it will show the disk of Jupiter and you may see four Gallilean moons. The distance of Jupiter from Earth is around 800 million km away. Mars is the bright orange/red planet out to the Northwest sky at dusk, at midnight you will find Mars due north. Earth and Mars were getting 300km closer every minute until Monday, when it was at its closest — about 92km from Earth. The Clouds of Magellan, LMC, and SMC are midway down the southwest sky, easily seen by eye on a dark moonless night, they look a lot like clouds in the sky. They are actually two small galaxies about 160,000 and 200,000 light years away. A light year is the distance that light travels in one year. Sunlight takes eight minutes to get here, Sunlight reaches Neptune the outermost major planet in four hours. Low in the north are Pollux and Castor, the heads of Gemini the twins, above and right of them is a fuzzy patch of light, which is Praesepe cluster, marking the shell of Cancer the crab. Praesepe is also called the Beehive cluster M44, the reason obvious when viewed through binoculars. Sirius is the first true star to appear at dusk, midway down the northwest sky. It is soon followed by Canopus, southwest of of the zenith. Below Sirius are Rigel and

Tuesday saw a Lunar Eclipse — when a full moon drifts into Earth’s shadow, called Umbra, a total eclipse takes place. The Moon looks red on Earth because the Sun’s light filters through the Earth’s atmosphere before hitting the Moon’s surface. Normally, the Sun’s white light would head straight to the Moon making it appear white. However, when the light hits Earth first, our atmosphere filters out the longer wavelengths of light, the blue, and lets most of the shorter wavelengths, like red, pass through. It’s the same principle that gives our sky. ■ Additional in formation supplied by Mount John observatory.

WALLY RICHARDS The autumn rains have started at last, bringing much-needed relief to parched gardens in much of the country. It has been a crazy season for gardeners in many areas and due likely as a result of the changing climate. What we once considered normal and took for granted can no longer be relied on. Weather events that only happened occasionally such as once in a hundred years have started to happen in more regular cycles. It was only a few years ago that scientists were telling us that climate problems were emerging, which in the next 100 years, would be devastating. The speed of the problems are increasing at such a rate, that we are already experiencing global events, never before seen in such proportions during anyone’s life time. Oceans rising, storm surges; are not familiar words from the past and obviously with a rise of a metre level in oceans along with a storm surge will leave coastal and riverside properties worthless. The answer to reduce the problem is very simple but not in the interests of money making multinational and national companies. Humus in soils can store large amounts of carbon, up to 50-300 tonnes per hectare, which is equivalent to 180-1100 tonnes of carbon dioxide. This is called Carbon Sequestering. Humus stores or sequesters carbon for decades, or even centuries. Imagine if farmers started cultivating their soils to create humus rather than to destroy it? What a difference it would make to their income and the health of the country? Each week I receive a newsletter from an organic farmer, namely John, who has a block of ‘paradise’ land in Taranaki called Avonstour Organic Heritage Farm. (Look it up on the net) In his latest newsletter he said: ‘‘We are real dry in the back country against New Plymouth but once I got out of Hawera toward Wanganui it was super dry even the saved grass paddocks and the side of the roads just a few broken sticks of seeded grass standing. No wonder the price of hay has gone through the roof. The problem will get worse in winter as the grass wont have time to grow so I’m real happy we fallow farm and have grass and feed in bulk.’’ Fallow Farm? I know the principal in so much as you leave one seventh of your land fallow for a year but was not sure what this did in a farming sense so I emailed John and asked. His reply was, ‘‘We sabbatical fallow farm . . . we shut up 1/7th of the farm for 12 months usually at the shortest day when feed is short and then we use it like standing hay. This naturally balances the soil, suppresses weeds, gives more and better topsoil, retains water in the humus layer to give better growth. The seed formed is the best grasses for our soil and farm . It powers fallow land to grow well for seven years. The biggest thing is livestock health, we never have a vet here (Well only to castrate a horse or two). Conventional farmers can’t say that as they spend a fortune on vets. My research on the internet found: Farmers who defy economic logic and leave their lands fallow for the Shmita (agricultural sabbatical) year. According to the Torah (Exodus 23:10-11, Leviticus 25:1-7 and Leviticus 25:18-24), every seventh year, must remain fallow. Agricultural work is prohibited, especially sowing, pruning, plowing and harvesting. Sabbatical fallowing is written about in the Bible, Koran, Torah and other historical documents as the main method used thousands of years ago to retain and build up fertility in soils. It’s still very popular in many parts of

THE autumn rain has arrived. the world and is used in many countries changing over to organics. The method entails each year shutting up a different seventh of your farm from Spring right through to late winter — early spring when it can be trampled and eaten off. The paddocks grow up to an outsiders eye like an untidy, uncut, hay paddock, then composts and decomposes, its about 11 tonne a hectare of organic compost that feeds the worms and increases microbial activity, improves soil structure, increases soil aeration, drainage and water holding capacity. The pasture’s root density and depth of penetration is improved. Due to additional food supplies earthworm numbers increase which enhances the rate of nutrient cycling. We have observed much larger numbers of earthworms high up in the soil feeding during very heavy frosts. We have found Sabbatical fallowing enhances trace elements and fertility, increases nitrogen accumulation and conservation, gives a new covering of seeds and organic matter and gives the paddocks a rest too! You end up with a rich, biologically active, deep humus layer over the blocks. It gives you a huge feed bank of standing hay for the winter. The paddocks perform much better in droughts and drain better in wet conditions. Another very valid point is humus can hold 90 per cent of its weight in water. That is an incredible reservoir of water in the soil, available for plants as they need it. Thousands of litres per hectare. Farmers like John laugh during drought times as their water is stored where wind and sun can’t evaporate it. This makes the storage of water in dams or open reservoirs for irrigation a joke and a waste of money. Change the soil husbandry and solve the problem of droughts. Coming back to your garden and section you may not have sufficient land or gardens to leave a seventh of the land fallow but you can still use many of the principals to achieve a great garden soil that is full of humus. Mulching of organic material, straw, weeds, fodder crops will build better soils. Supply ample calcium in the form of garden lime, gypsum and dolomite. Drench the soil with Magic Botanic Liquid and Mycorrcin, three-monthly to start with and six-monthly later on. Sprinkle Rok Solid and BioPhos over garden areas. Do not use chemical fertilisers and chlorinated water on your gardens. When you get your soil right you too will laugh at droughts and help with global climate change. ■ For gardening problems ring me at 0800 466-464 (Palmerston North 357-0606) Email wallyjr@gardenews.co.nz, Website www.gardenews.co.nz

Veterinary centre celebrates Hugh Bentall, practice principal, cuts the birthday cake (far right) at Levin and Horowhenua Veterinary Centre’s 75th Birthday and open day on Saturday. The weather was superb so families took the opportunity to get up close and personal with a variety of animals. Vet centre staff brought their Pitt Island sheep, Boer goats, Le Perm kittens and other less exotic creatures to join in the festivities. The SPCA created culinary delights at the barbeque while raising funds for the Mako Mako Road centre. It is four years since the new clinic opened and those who missed a guided tour then had an opportunity on Saturday which included an insight into operating and x-ray facilities with a number of cuddly toys standing in for the real thing. ■ Pictures: Frankie Webb

SPELT OUT: Levin East students Shirley PrestonWakefield, Allegra RurukuHunt and Neveah RaikaWright eagerly look through their new dictionaries presented to each Year 4 student by Levin Rotary last week. PHOTO: TANYA WOOD

Dictionary delight for pupils By TANYA WOOD There will be no excuses for Year 4 students at Levin East School to misspell words after receiving their free dictionaries from Levin Rotary last week. More than 30 students received a dictionary and quickly wrote their names inside to avoid any mix-ups later, before excitedly exploring the contents with friends. The dictionaries will be kept at school and used each year by the students until they leave and can take their dictionary home. Levin East principal Hamish Ruawai says the kids ‘‘just love’’ the dictionaries.

‘‘The kids read them for enjoyment because they’re packed with information and this caters for a raft of learning that goes beyond just words. It motivates reading, writing, interpretation of pictures and diagrams and research skills.’’ Levin Rotary has been handing out Usborn illustrated dictionaries for all Year 4 students at Taitoko School, Levin East, St Joseph’s, Levin School and Shannon School for the past seven years. Youth director for Levin Rotary, Pam Good, said it can be the first book owned by some students. ‘‘We hand out more than 100 free dictionaries each year and we never get tired of seeing the excitement on the children’s faces.’’

Horowhenua Chronicle

Time running out for feedback on plan Residents and ratepayers have less than a week to have their say on the council’s list of planned projects and forecast spend for the upcoming year. Horowhenua District Council’s Draft Annual Plan 2014/2015 is based on year three of the council’s 2012-2022 Long Term Plan and explains services, activities and projects planned for the year and how much each is expected to cost. Major projects include the Levin water reservoir construction, relining of Tokomaru wastewater oxidation pond,

HOW TO MAKE A SUBMISSION Submissions can be made online or emailed to annualplan@horowhenua.govt.nz. Alternatively, paper submission forms can be completed and delivered to a council office, faxed to 06 366-0983, or posted to Annual Plan Submissions, Horowhenua District Council, Private Bag 4002, Levin 5540. People will have the opportunity to speak about their submissions at hearings on May 7-8 or they may choose to write a submission without speaking to it. The mayor and councillors will receive copies of all the submissions and will consider them at a two-day meeting on May 21 and 22 to help make their decisions for the final Annual Plan. Everyone who makes a submission, regardless of whether they attend a meeting, will receive a letter from the council outlining its decision on the points raised in the submission once the plan is finalised. The final Annual Plan 2014/2015 will be adopted at the council meeting on June 4 and will come into effect from July 1. For more information, please contact strategic partnerships and community services group manager Monique Davidson on 06 366-0999 or email: moniqued@horowhenua.govt.nz.

ongoing renewal consents for wastewater schemes throughout the district, a stormwater management strategy and Queen Street Drain Catchment management plan. Other specific projects include the new Horowhenua Economic Development Strategy, review and development of policies and bylaws, Foxton’s Main Street redevelopment, upgrading public toilets including accessibility improvements, and resealing the Levin Domain cycle track. The proposed total rates requirement of $29.6 million will require an average 9.92 per cent rates increase for 2014/2015. Horowhenua Mayor Brendan Duffy said feedback received from ratepayers to date is general acceptance of the expensive capital and infrastructure projects facing the district deemed necessary and therefore the proposed increase is justified. ‘‘These projects are so vital to this district’s growth, as well as maintaining current levels of service,’’ said Mr Duffy. Other key drivers hiking up the rates include a reduction in profit on property sales, an increase in loans servicing costs, depreciation costs, increases in community and library costs, as well as decreases in economic development revenue and parking revenue. Chief executive David Clapperton said the council was taking a prudent and sustainable approach to managing its finances in the years ahead. ‘‘This includes serious consideration given to current operating costs. ‘In doing so, changes have been made resulting in a reduction of $1.5 million in operational costs. This is a huge cost saving.’’ Foxton Beach residents and ratepayers also have the opportunity on the Draft Annual Plan submission form to make their views clear on whether $500,000 from the Foxton Beach Freeholding Account should be given to the Foxton Area Community Medical Trust towards the building costs of the Te Waiora community health centre in Foxton. Running simultaneously to the Draft Annual Plan process will be consultation on two bylaw reviews — the Solid Waste Bylaw and the Water Supply Bylaw.

Vibrancy plans in place for better Horowhenua Horowhenua could become a more vibrant place to live, said Horowhenua District Council chief executive David Clapperton. A Pride and Vibrancy Action Plan, designed to promote local arts, sports, community and cultural events, was signed off by Horowhenua District Council at its monthly meeting last week. Mr Clapperton said key objectives include a district itinerary for tourists and visitors, public displays of art work, regular performances at Te Takere,

wider use of the Horowhenua Brand by businesses and community groups, and annual graffiti and targeted street cleanups. The action plan forms part of the council’s overall Wellbeing Strategy and supports its vision of the district as a vibrant, beautiful and successful district that citizens are proud of and visitors enjoy. It will be facilitated and coordinated by the council with extensive input from community volunteers, organisations and businesses.

House of the Year judges get to work New Zealand Registered Master Builders 2014 House of the Year judges are on the road, and will announce our regional winners on July 25. They will scrutinise 317 houses across the country before announcing regional event winners in July and August. They will be looking at new homes and show homes as well as renovations and builder’s own homes and will assess the work of hundreds of builders to find

the finest houses in the country. Not surprisingly the Canterbury area has seen a 29 per cent increase in entries from 2013 reflecting the completion of homes throughout the rebuild. Increased entries have also come from the Auckland, East Coast, Manawatu/ Wanganui and Southern regions. Judging concludes at the end of May. ■ For more information about the competition, visit the Registered Master Builders website at www.masterbuilder.co.nz

Support for old Windows software ends Users of Microsoft Windows XP and Office 2003 are being recommended to switch to a newer version of Windows after Microsoft has ended support of these two products.

The technology company stopped releasing security updates for XP and 2003 on April 9, which means any security holes found will not be plugged.

Further information can be found at www.horowhenua.govt.nz/ bylawreviews. The Draft Annual Plan is available online to read and download at www.horowhenua.govt.nz/dap.

It is also available at council offices and district libraries. Copies can be requested by phoning Customer Services on 06 366-0999. The period for submissions closes at 5pm next Tuesday, April 22.

Mitchpine — a cut above the opposition When it comes to a local business employing over 30 staff and providing the best service and competitive prices, Mitchpine Products are definitely a cut above the rest. First of all it’s a family business, started by Keith Mitchell 35 years ago. Keith passed away two years ago and the business is now run by his son Grant (Butch) Mitchell, and his son Lee is now learning the ropes. That’s three generations of Mitchells, so they know what they are talking about when it comes to supplying local farmers, trades and the handyman or woman. The personal touch starts when you arrive. You deal direct with staff who will do just about anything for you. There’s a big range of hand-graded posts, battens, poles and gates on site and timber in just about every size and grade. In fact there’s more than 300 products.

For the home gardener there’s a big range of timber for retaining walls, fencing, sawn posts and a new range of bollards. It’s all cut, dried and treated on site then the company’s fleet of trucks will deliver it to your place. Recession? What recession? Mitchpine are positive and expanding. They are installing a new mill at their 13.5 hectare site just 10km north of Levin. This new mill has been specifically designed to cut 7.5metre lengths of timber, a rare product with an ever increasing demand. Business is looking good with consistent sales across all markets. Mitchpine is a family run business with old-fashioned values on quality and service and a hands on approach. As the boys say, ‘‘Big enough to supply and small enough to care.’’

Thousands enjoy great day in forest What a great day for thousands of eager forest runners and walkers who took part in the 18th Great Forest event on Saturday. The Great Forest events attracted more than 3000 competitors, who raced through Waitarere Forest in Levin for the 18th marathon, half marathon, 10km and 5km run-walk event. This year’s event was the largest on record, with 3248 competitors, including 100 gutsy full marathon runners. Great Forest events chairperson Kathy McMillan was extremely pleased with how well the day went. ‘‘It was great to see all ages and abilities out there. A special congratulations to all the workplaces that put in teams and encouraged their staff to take part. And a huge thanks must go to the hundreds of volunteers who help make the day possible,’’ Ms McMillan said. This year’s full marathon winners were Sam McCutcheon, from Wellington, in 2 hours 45 minutes, and Nicole Goldsmid, from Feilding, in 3 hours 3 minutes. The event also attracted competitors from overseas. Ostine Watts travelled all the way from Texas to take part in the event. After surviving breast cancer, Ostine is aiming to complete seven marathons in seven different countries. Despite suffering from jet lag, Ostine crossed the finish line in a time of 7 hours 15 minutes. ‘‘I am so happy I finished, two down five to go. Thank you to all of the organisers it was truly a great event,’’ she said. Horowhenua mayor Brendan

Duffy says the event may be organised and run on a shoestring, but it is another example of a local event that provides valuable economic benefits to the district. It brings 3200 entrants from near, far and wide, with local cafes, takeaways, motels, fuel stations, and beach batches all benefiting. There are school groups on site selling food and drinks to fundraise, local businesses there too. ‘‘As well as helping economic development, it provides social and health benefits too, just ask the 1000 people who did the 5km walk or run. Fantastic.’’ Full results from the event are available at www.greatforest.org.nz<http:/ /www.greatforest.org.nz> Preliminary results: Full Marathon Run Male: Sam McCutcheon 02:45:30; Full Marathon Run Female: Nicole Goldsmid 03:03:56; Half Marathon Run Male: Shane Reed 01:21:44; Half Marathon Run Female: Jo Johansen 01:26:08; 10K Run Male: Mitchell Rutter 00:37:20; 10K Run Female: Kim Manford 00:43:42; 5K Run Male: Stefan Przychodzko 00:17:01; 5K Run Female: Rebecca Baker 00:19:56; Full Marathon Walk Male: Albie Jane 05:00:53; Full Marathon Walk Female: Nadine Yorker 04:59:17; Half Marathon Walk Male: Colin Horne 02:16:37; Half Marathon Walk Female: Gai-Marie Smart 02:16:15; 10K Walk Male: Kikopu Lindberg 01:17:25; 10K Walk Female: Sarah Harmer 01:13:01; 5k Walk Male: Dylan Pringle 00:25:47; 5k Walk Female: Karen Munday 00:24:13.

SMILES at the finish line on Saturday.

IT’S NOT OK TO BE AWAY . . . OR LATE TO SCHOOL Students who do not attend school regularly are more likely to: • Have poor peer relationships • Be less motivated to learn • Have lower grades • Repeat subjects • Have lower rates of college graduation • Have poor social, economic and employment opportunities. As a parent or caregiver it is very important that your children arrive at school on time, every day, and have the right books and equipment to fully participate in learning. These are the only acceptable reasons to be away from school: • Short term illness or for medical/dental reasons • When there is permission from the school they attend ie exam leave, work experience • Bereavement / Tangi leave.

Prepare for a safe, fatigue-free Easter drive

LVN160414pjfswap

READY FOR A BIG DAY: From left, Emma Daines, Kaleb Humpage-Pinto, Barry Fitzgerald and Phoebe Williams.

Swap meet for badge fans By PETER FRANKLIN A different kind of swap meet will be held on Sunday April 27 between 10am and 2pm at the Kotuku Scout hall on Parker Avenue in Levin. The scouts will be holding the New Zealand club badge swap meet. Barry Fitzgerald said this event was open to all current members of the

badges club and any members of the public who want to have a look or join up. He said the swap meet would be run by the badges club. The local badge club members are eager to see young scouts and leaders come along and look, swap, or buy bagdes. Mr Fitzgerald said past and current badges from current and older

Scouting and Guiding events would be available to purchase. Sometime thoughout the day there will be an easy game where everyone is a winner. Entry to the swap meet will cost a gold coin. No eftpos available so bring some small change to purchase if you wish. ■ For more information contact Barry Fitzgeral by email, Barry74@xtra.co.nz

Horizons road safety co-ordinator Debbie Webster urges drivers take care over the Easter holiday weekend. Holidaymakers travelling through the Horizons Region are being reminded of the dangers of driver fatigue as Easter approaches. Ms Webster said during holiday periods people tend to make longer journeys and, combined with increased traffic flows, this emphasised the problem of driver fatigue. Crashes involving driver fatigue are often the most violent on the road as they occur when drivers have either fallen asleep or react too late to brake or avoid an impending crash. Ms Webster encourages drivers and their passengers to be aware of the symptoms leading to driver fatigue such as sore eyes, constant yawning, drifting off the road, frequent and unnecessary changes in speed, and slower reaction times. ‘‘If you’re drifting over the centre line, over correcting or your head is nodding, this indicates a ‘micro-sleep’. These short sleeps are incredibly dangerous,’’ Ms Webster said. Although there are some tips and tools for avoiding fatigue, driving is a complex mental and physical task that requires sustained levels of concentration and skill. The only thing that can truly beat fatigue is sleep. Ms Webster suggests the following for drivers planning long trips: - Get plenty of sleep before leaving on a trip. - Avoid setting out on a long journey after having worked a full day. - Try not to drive when you would normally be asleep (early morning and late at night). - Take regular breaks and, if feeling sleepy, a short ‘power nap’ of no more than 20 minutes is encouraged. - Share the driving where possible, eat well balanced meals and take non-alcoholic drinks regularly during the trip. - If you are taking any medication, check whether it causes drowsiness; and use the air conditioning (outside air flow) to keep you more alert.

Old Boys battle back College Old Boys rallied in amazing style to win 37-35 against their crosstown rivals Athletic. Down 22-3 after the first 25 minutes, Old Boys showed tremendous composure and spirit to work their way back into the game. Athletic scored straight after half-time to stretch their lead to 32-13. But with their backs to the wall, Old Boys weren’t done by any means. Some magnificent forward play got the team back in the game and, with 4 minutes left on the clock, they scored in the corner to tie the scores up at 35-all. Lafi Salu calmly slotted the sideline conversion to hit the lead at 37-35. The players and faithful Old Boys supporters were elated when the final whistle blew. Mario Nau scored two tries for Old

Boys with Axel Neilsen and Tyson Maki grabbing one apiece. Lafi’s contribution can’t be understated, he kicked seven from seven, with four conversions and three penalties. One point went to Lafi, two points to Axel and, with three points, player of the day went to Tyson Maki, who has been in brilliant form. At Shannon Domain, the home team took on Waikanae and won 23-14 in front of a happy home crowd. For Shannon J. Rider, T. Shields and T. Woodmass scored tries. A. Porima con, 2 pens. Waikanae points came from a try to A. Kearney, and J. Smith kicked three penalties. The halftime score was 13-9. At Paraparaumu Domain, Paraparaumu played Athletic. The home side won 28-17. Halftime score was 20-3.

SEE WHAT A MORNING

See, what a morning, gloriously bright With the dawning of hope in Jerusalem Folded the grave-clothes, tomb filled with light As the angels announce, "Christ is risen" See God's salvation plan Wrought in love, borne in pain, paid in sacrifice Fulfilled in Christ, the man For He lives, Christ is risen from the dead.

See Mary weeping, "Where is He laid?" As in sorrow she turns from the empty tomb Hears a voice speaking, calling her name It's the Master, the Lord raised to life again The voice that spans the years Speaking life, stirring hope, bringing peace to us Will sound till He appears For He lives, Christ is risen from the dead. One with the Father, Ancient of Days Through the Spirit who clothes faith with certainty Honour and blessing, glory and praise To the King crowned with power and authority And we are raised with Him Death is dead, love has won, Christ has conquered And we shall reign with Him For He lives: Christ is risen from the dead.

bigger challenges you’re facing.

CAPRICORN

As tensions building for several weeks come to a head the disguises begin to fall and you get to see what’s pushing your buttons and why.

LEO

Sometimes the fear of something is worse than the actual thing you fear, with a chance this week to confront some entrenched fears.

Pams Kalamata and Cauli Combo

Levin

Recipe No. 77

Ingredients

Method:

200g Pams kalamata olives

1. Remove outer leaves, core from the cauliflower and divide into florets; these should be all the same size for even cooking.

100g Pams sundried tomatoes 1 medium cauliflower

2. Thinly slice the onions and separate into rings, set aside. Slice the sundried tomatoes into strips.

1 large onion 2 Tbsp Pams extra virgin olive oil

3. Drain the olives, spoon into a small mixing bowl, add the sliced sundried tomatoes and mix.

Pams salt and pepper

4. Lightly steam the cauliflower.

1 pack of Pams pita pockets

5. Heat the olive oil in large fry pan (large enough to hold the cauliflower) sauté the onions until they are soft and start to brown, add the olives and the sundried tomatoes. Once they are coated in oil add the cooked cauliflower. Stir over a medium heat for approximately 5 minutes – just enough to coat the cauliflower, olives, sundried tomatoes and onions. 6. Add salt and pepper to taste.

We looked at all the options in our industry and were impressed with Green Acres’s strong brand and vision of quality time for customers and franchisees alike.

Boost for cricket

The Eastern and Central Community Trust is contributing $40,000 towards Horowhenua Kapiti Cricket’s new indoor training centre at Donnelly Park in Levin. The region is one of the few that does not have an indoor training facility, which is restricting player development. The project is a collaboration between Horowhenua Kapiti Cricket Association, Levin Old Boys’ Cricket Club and the Horowhenua District Council,

and includes a three-lane indoor training facility, changing rooms, and clubrooms. It is intended that other sports will be able to hire the facilities during the winter. Other Levin donations from the Community Trust this month include $2500 to the Family History Group and $3000 to the Levin Baptist Church Kindy and Care.

Students excel

Manawatu College students Lukas Baur, Year 12, and Emma Green, Year 11, have excelled in sport recently. Lukas represented the wider Manawatu region at the North Island Inter-Secondary Athletics Championships at Masterton on April 5, taking third placing in the 110m Senior Boys Hurdles. Emma Green represented Manawatu College at the Manawatu InterSecondary Schools Swimming Championships, held in Palmerston North earlier this month, winning the Intermediate Girls 200m freestyle and coming second in the 100m freestyle and fourth in both the 50m freestyle and 50m butterfly. Emma is hoping to build on her success at the North Island Secondary Schools Championships in May.

Foxton’s Foxes shine in fun netball tourney By FRANKIE WEBB Foxton New World’s Foxy Foxes netball team pulled out all the stops in a fun netball series designed to include staff as a part of New World’s sponsorship of the New Zealand’s national netball team, the Silver Ferns. This is the sixth New World Netball Championship which sees mixed teams from stores throughout the lower North Island participate in 14-minute games umpired by NZ Netball representatives.

This is the first time the tournament has been split into two leagues of advanced and more social players, to encourage participation at all levels. Playing in the social league, the Foxy Foxes defeated New World Melody’s Decepticarts social team 7-5 and Taihape’s Flying Gumboots 11-7 in the final round. The winning teams in the social league from New World Foxton each received a $50 New World grocery voucher.

Clam talk postponed There was a better turnout for the Waitarere Beach Fishing Club meeting with about 40 members of the attending. Unfortunately the guest speaker who was to talk on clam recovery, was not available, but will be available at our next meeting in May. However, there was plenty to discuss. It was discussed that it would be to the club’s advantage to have a representative on the steering committee of the proposed new Surf Club-Community Building, which we hope may be constructed over the next few years. If you would like to be involved, please contact Gavin, Chris, or Colin. The Easter Fishing Competition is only a week away. About $6000 worth of prizes are to be won. Sponsorship by local firms has again been fantastic. This event is for club members only. Entry fee is $20 for adults and $5 children under 14. Non-members can enter the competition after joining the club, subscriptions per annum $15 per adult and $2 for children under 14.

Registration from 7pm at the Scout Hall briefing. The competition is for longliners, boats and surfcasters from 8am on Friday until noon on Sunday. Prizes for the biggest snapper, kahawai, gurnard, red cod and biggest ‘other’ species not including sharks, eels, stingrays, barracuda. All fish weighed in become club property and the auction will be at 3.30pm Sunday at the Scout Hall. We have nearly 100 spot prizes, so if you enter, you will not even have to catch a fish to get lucky. Our meat raffle is proving popular with members with 50 tickets sold, and the winners this month were, 1st Henry Morgan and 2nd Fred Carrick. The free lucky draw prize of a filleting knife set went to Graham Moore. Fish of the Month for March, was won again by Mike Hansen, with a 6.7kg snapper. Gurnard is fish of the month for April and kahawai for May. Fingers crossed for fine weather over Easter.

Michie team claim triples title Michie and Harvey who had to play each other. In the fifth round Harvey jumped out to a early lead over Michie but this was slowly pulled back and Michie’s team went on to win 10-6 and qualify. The Ruthe verses Anderson match was a tight affair with an end just started and the 40 minute time limit up the score was 5-4 to Anderson, as the skips changed ends Anderson’s team held the advantage, with his first bowl Anderson tried to consolidate the head. With his first bowl Ruthe shifted the kitty side ways to the edge of the mat and in the clear. Anderson calmly played a draw shot to within a foot of the kitty, this left Ruthe needing to win this end to qualify and playoff against Michie’s team, Ruthe decided to play a draw shot with his last bowl but this pulled up just short of Anderson’s bowl so Anderson won 6-4. Congratulations go to Shirley Michie’s team who were the only qualifiers and won the triples championship.

The Levin North Indoor Bowling Club held their first championship event of the season last week. The triples attracted enough players on the night to put together five teams. It was played over five rounds with each team having a bye. To qualify for the playoffs teams would need 5 points or at least 2 wins and a draw. The following teams were drawn out: Lorraine Willers (skip), Malcolm Woodgyer, Jean Davis. Neil Anderson (skip), Brent Thoms, Sam Anderson. Shirley Michie (skip), Syd Arthur, Chic Pedersen. Duncan Ruthe (skip), Stan Sparrow, Joe Booth. Ross Harvey (skip), Chris Greenstreet, Kylie Mayhew. Results: Round 1 Anderson beat Willers and Ruthe beat Michie. Round 2 Willers beat Harvey and Michie beat Anderson. Round 3 Ruthe beat Willers and Harvey beat Anderson. Round 4 Michie beat Willers and Harvey beat Ruthe. With one round to play three teams had the chance to qualify. Ruthe who had to play Anderson and

My little Burmese cat has been missing since Wednesday 9th April. She is a small, speyed female, 3 years old, creamy/ beige in colour, and micro-chipped. She could be shut in a shed, garage or vehicle. She could have ﬁght wounds, or have been taken. Pipi is very timid, with medical conditions that require urgent attention - she needs to come home. I am very anxious about her well-being.

Stockcar ace has sights on super seat By PETER FRANKLIN One of Palmerston North’s most consistent stockcar drivers has had a taste of driving the more powerful super stocks, and now knows that’s where he wants to be. And after his exploits behind the wheel of a super fast super stock, both in Palmerston North and Auckland, there has been a call by an increasing number of fans that Gavin Taniwha needs to be in the super stock ranks. The quiet speaking Taniwha has proved he has the ability, building a respectable reputation in the stockcar ranks. He was contracted to Auckland for the superstock teams nationals where he impressed both fans and other drivers. Five-time New Zealand stockcar champion Peter Rees and Palmerston North Panthers manager Gary Parkes have praised Taniwha. Rees said Taniwha is a brilliant teams racer and an all-

round good guy. ‘‘He has an excepional allround ability, and given the opportunity he could be one of the great names of the sport.’’ Parkes said. Taniwha is itching to make the full transition over to super stocks, however they are bigbudget cars to run and he is on the lookout for a sponsors to help him go to the next level. Taniwha, an engineer by trade, has always turned up at the track with an immaculate looking car. ‘‘If I get a spare $100, I’d rather spend it on the car than say a new pair of racing boots, which I really should replace at some stage,’’ he said. Ideally he would like to run in both stockcar classes but he is a realist and knows the budget needed to do that is way too much for him, without having the backing of some really committed sponsors. Taniwha said he was always open to talk to people interested in his long-term plans, and how they could become involved.

MOVING UP: Gavin Taniwha is on the move up into the high-powered ranks of super stocks.

Taranaki trifecta in saloons By PETER FRANKLIN

LVN090413pjfsaloon-champs

FAST AND FURIOUS: Saloon drivers from around the lower North Island battled it out for the Manawatu saloon champs.

It was all action when the saloons came to Robertson Holden International Speedway for the running of the 2014 Quality Tyres Manawatu Saloon Championships on Saturday. But at the end of the night it was Joe Ingram who led a Taranaki trifecta. The field of 21 Saloons were split into two groups, with two reverse-grid heats to decide starting positions for the 15-lap final. Ash Cook 4s won the first heat in a canter from pole position, Richard Dreaver 7s spun out of a good position to dent his chances, while 27s Joe Ingram and 98w Tony Cardno made up four places each after starting near the back. Gary Marshall 24w faced a

sterner test in the second group, holding off the challenge of 29b Steve Martin for the lead until Martin retired with front end damage after contact between the two, while 88s Brett Barron made up ground to finish second. The second round saw 57p Calvin Honore retire early with damage through no fault of his own, as Cardno took the win from the front row of the grid. The final qualifying heat was one of the best of the night as 16s Thomas Korff rounded his brother 8s Craig Korff for the lead, and 10w Todd Moffat sensationally went around both Dreaver and Craig Korff to take second place in the final corner. Ingram and Cardno started on the front row of the grid for the championship race as equal top qualifiers, followed by Thomas Korff and Barron, then defending

champion Marshall and veteran Cook. Ingram led the field away until the first caution, but things did not go to plan when he was slow on the restart and was overtaken by both Thomas Korff and Marshall. Luckily for Ingram a further caution on the first lap after restart saw him restored to the lead, and he didn’t make the same mistake again. 88s Brett Barron managed to find a way past Marshall for third, but spun and was collected by Moffat, who had made his way from grid 12. Ingram took an excellent win from Thomas Korff, who could do nothing about the race leader. Craig Korff finished an excellent third from grid nine, with Marshall fourth ahead of the consistent 501s Jarrod MacBeth right on the tail of the lead pack.

Bumper day of action at Harrisville

LVN160414harrisville5

TOP TRIO: Horowhenua Chronicle manager Vivien Douglas, left, with the top three, with the popular Bulls boys, Pete and Andy, who took first and second respectively and Ray Heron from MoreFM Kapiti in third.

Legends day at Harrisville Speedway was a hot affair. Dave Evans took the teams race flag for the Panthers after 58p Brian Anderson did an excellent job of getting rid of race leader All Stars 52p Russell Joblin and All Stars Gary Trotter, who was sitting in second place, until Anderson gave him some attention, opening the way for Evans, who never looked back and took the chequered flag. According to race commentator Stu Russell, because of the Horowhenua Chronicle Cup being at stake, there was a lot more intensity in the celebrity race compared to last year’s event. While the boys from Bulls took the first two spots on the podium, Russell said he was really impressed with Suzy Johnson 581p who hung on to third place for nearly half the race, but ended up in the soft stuff coming out of turn three while trying to make an outside pass for second place.

Tony Coffin 11p in the Peter Rees tank and Peter Franklin in the Craig Rolston 331p clashed coming out of turn two with Franklin driving over the top of Coffin’s front wheel. Both cars survived and carried on. There was pride at stake in the teams race between the former Palmerston North Panthers drivers and the New Zealand All Stars, and also in the Horowhenua Chronicle Stockcar Invitation. Russell said the whole day was full of good racing, including the classic stockcars and there was a real family atmosphere around the venue. In total the crowd got to see 23 very entertaining races, and that is what speedway is all — about entertainment at its best.
