Industry Comment

Pondering the past Recently Vonn and I celebrated 50 years of marriage and at times like that it encourages one to look back and ponder.

Also I have nearly completed 28 years in Real Estate - all with Hastings McLeod Property Brokers.

So I thought I would take a look back and see if things have changed for the better or the worst.

On our wedding day on March 5th 1966 the local and national communities were somewhat different to what we see today.

Rodger Letham

• The population was about 2.7 million

readers who have never heard of some of these things.

• Keith Holyoake was Prime Minister.

So are things better now or worse than then?

• Norman Kirk was Leader of the Opposition • Vern Cracknell was the leader of the Social Credit Party • A singer with the name of Maria Dallas won the “Loxene Golden Disc Award • “Country Calender” first appeared on TV and we had never heard of Waitangi Day I am sure there are a number of

I suppose it depends upon your point of view. Communications were a lot slower, but there was far less bureaucracy. The public had far better access to our community officials. Decisions were made easier and quicker and action could be taken without a raft of consultants and so called “experts”.

Twenty two years later, having unfortunately succumbed to the

very challenging farming conditions at the time (very similar to what we see today) we came to town and I started selling Rural properties for Hastings McLeod and here I still am. When I started in Real Estate exclusive agencies were just coming into vogue. Prior to that properties were usually listed with all the agencies and there was a very laid back attitude to marketing and sales.

In 1988 the law required one qualified person in the office for every 3 sales people. A “QP” was someone who had at least three years’ experience in real estate and had gained qualifications in Contract

Law, Trust Law and Management.

Today and particularly since the new Real Estate Agents Authority came into being, all sales people have to be qualified in these matters and all sales people are required to fulfil a minimum of ten hours of verifiable training every year and also ten hours of non-verifiable training.

The many hours of phone work that was done every evening is a thing of the past as modern phones and the internet have revolutionised daily practice. More of that some other time.

In the beginning was the Plan and then came the assumptions.

So the Councillors went to their Council Managers saying “It is a container of excrement and is very strong so that none may abide by it”

And the assumptions were without form and the Plan was without substance and darkness was cast over the faces of the people.

The Managers went unto their Service Directors and spake unto them thus “It is a vessel of Fertiliser and none may abide its strength”

Then the people spake amongst themselves saying “Verily it is a bag

Gardening

Beautiful bedding nemesia If you have an area in your garden you’d like to blanket with colour, then nemesia is the plant for you It is a lovely small bedding plant that can be used for edging, in borders and as a ground cover and, in the right conditions, will produce so many flowers it’s hard to see the greenery.

Growing to a height of around 20cm, it’s also lovely grown in pots, hanging planters or any other suitable growing container.

At Awapuni Nurseries we sell two different bundles of nemesia seedlings – both mixed colours.

Our bi-colour bundle contains seedlings that will produce flowers with more than one colour on each flower. Some are a mix of white and lavender, yellow or pink and others are just a mix of different colours.

And our mixed bundle will produce all sorts of different coloured flowers including orange, white, red and pink.

So grab some nemesia seedlings from your local Bunnings, The

Tod Palenski Awapuni Nurseries Warehouse or supermarket. Better still, head to our online shop at www.awapuni.co.nz and get the seedlings delivered straight to your door. Purchase six or more items and get free delivery to a non-rural address or just $4 to a rural address.

Wherever you decide to plant your nemesia, try to ensure the soil is rich and moist and that the plants will be mostly in full sun to part shade.

Then simply plant your seedlings around 15cm apart from each other.

Depending on the weather, in just five to six weeks you can expect a beautiful array of different coloured flowers in your chosen garden bed or container.
