Anger over theft By

FRANKIE WEBB

frankie.webb@chronicle.co.nz Residents in the Hinemoa and surrounding streets are really ‘pissed’ by the theft of community lawn mowers, which have been a huge asset to the area.

Taiapo Rangihaeata who had a mower booked for last weekend said: “Now I have failed a Housing Corp inspection because my lawns need mowing.” The grandmother and Hinemoa Street resident told the Horowhenua Chronicle: “People used to throw bottles and rubbish on the lawns of people who didn’t have mowers because the grass would hide it. This place has changed since those mowers were available, the street is clean, it looks so good.”

The mowers had been an initiative of Constable Fiona Barker following a big community clean-up in Hinemoa Street and Morgan Crescent two years ago.

Information received by Police indicate the mowers were taken by locals. If that’s the case then “it’s really disappointing that someone in the community could take from their own,” Constable Barker said. “A simple thing like having a lawnmower has given a small community in the south east of Levin an incentive to continue the good work started two years ago. No one has the right to take that away.”

The local community united, and with help from a range of organisations there was a real sense of community pride being created in the area and the shared community mowers were certainly helping to keep it that way.

“Those mowers were booked up five days a week, every weekend, no exception,” Perry Rackley from Hinemoa House said. “I

WHEN lawn mowers, donated by Remax for use by the community, were stolen the flow-on effect was huge.

believe the people who took those mowers knew how important they were to this community — their community.” Both

mowers were almost new, one had a fault which a local retired mower mechanic was coming to fix this week.

Perry praises locals who have given information to Police. The offenders may think their heist went without a hitch, but they could be in for a surprise.

“We received some useful information, I know there’s more out there and appeal to anyone with information to call into Hinemoa House, the Levin Police station or anonymously leave a message on the Crimeline (Ph 0800 555 111)

SCENE IN HOROWHENUA A golden finch stopping to feast by a Levin roadside caught Mari Rossouw’s eye while out driving with her husband, who managed to bring the car to a stop in time for Mari to grab her camera and take this wonderful close up shot of this very pretty bird.

YOUR VIEWS

Curtailed views

In the not so distant past you have been quick to curtail certain debates via Your Views section, accompanied by an editor’s note. Notably the fire siren and fireworks issues.

Now the columns are graced with the rather prolonged council meeting affair, arguing over rights to speak, transparency, ad nauseum. Whilst initially we were all enthralled, I now sense the remnants of this futile argument are beginning to turn.

Therefore, may I suggest that before it achieve’s ‘Councilgate’ status, might it not behove you to fix a lid to the casket and afford it the burial it too deserves?

JAMES LARSEN Levin

Council position

Fantastic to read (Community Connection) that Horowhenua District Council has ended the financial year “in a much stronger position than anticipated". Mr David Clapperton (chief executive) expresses positive comments and describes how savings have been achieved. No need for me to duplicate such detail. Obviously rates take a very significant portion of income for some of us. Thank you folks for a job well done.

MICHAEL NASH Foxton

Red Cross says thanks

The Levin Branch of New Zealand Red Cross would like to thank the public of Levin for their support during the past year.

The sales from our shop in Queen St has allowed us to send money to help those in crisis in New Zealand and overseas.

We are open every Thursday from 9am till 2pm and sell a wide range of clothing, bric-a-brac, in fact a bit of everything. We are always seeking good quality stock for our shop which allows us to provide a bargain for our local customers and raise money for the cause.

Thursday, December 11, will be our last day this year, we will re-open on January 29.

Rating review

It is with interest that I note the reaction from council over responses to the proposed rating changes. Council has been reviewing systems since 2012, why the lack of openness? This is a matter of significance to our communities and if after two years this is the quality of the work we get then the process is flawed. Many elements in the community were not consulted, large parts of the community are still being drip-fed incomplete information; some councillors have even implied that there is important considerations that we were not privy to. If council needed two years, it would seem only fair that the community has access to the information and more than a couple of weeks to make informed decisions.

We have been told by council that because the rating method used needs to be

noted in the LTP we somehow need to make this change, why when LV (Land Value) has sufficed to date? That there is no statutory need to inform taxpayers of this type of change is seriously remiss and central Government needs to be across this. Many throughout the district are feeling betrayed at having this presented so soon after an election. Change is necessary but trading one set off inequities for another is not an answer.

PETER WARD Tokomaru

Quiet HDRRAI

I am perplexed at the lack of response from Horowhenua District Residents and Ratepayers Association to Council’s proposal to move to CV rating. Surely an item of such significance and interest has engendered some reaction? Over 250 submitted comments 85 per cent plus opposed, and the district-wide rate payer association is silent?

Perhaps the talk that HDRRAI is merely a mouthpiece for Councillors Feyen and Campbell are true? Two councillors who have indicated their support for this horrendous proposal.

Maybe the opportunity has arisen to establish a truly reflective District Ratepayer Association based upon community concern, focusing upon solutions and processes rather than headlines and personalities.

Let this proposal be the catalyst for change, not just on council but those with oversight.

Rates hike

The Horowhenua District Council’s proposed rating system change to capital value as opposed to land value will see our rates increase by over 50 per cent. We live down the end of a rumpty old road, well overdue for repairs. We are fully independent of HDC water, sewerage and solid waste infrastructure. Recently our culvert installed by HDC collapsed, and posed a risk to the Poroutawhao School bus which used our drive as a turn around. I duly approached HDC and they denied all knowledge of the culvert installation and claimed no records could be located. In essence they abdicated from their responsibility, and to top it all off basically lied. I worked at HDC at the time, and can attest that this work was categorically executed

by HDC. Our rates have increase to the order of 8-10 per cent every year and have effectively doubled since 2002. Now to moot a rate change that will effectuate a 50 per cent rate increase is nothing short of criminal. Mark my words, that should this eventuate I will stake a rates revolt. I imagine I will not be the only one! The Horowhenua is a low socio-economic region and we vehemently don't need the Mayor and his cohorts to act like some medieval Sheriff of Nottingham. I urge ratepayers to take stock of this situation and take a stand for democracy.

JASON BATT Poroutawhao EDITORS NOTE: No further correspondence will be published on the proposed Horowhenua District Council rating review. HDC have replied to previous letters on the same topic.

NEWS IN BRIEF Check pill levels

MidCentral District Health is encouraging people to check their prescription medications now to ensure they get enough to cover the holiday season, and not let it become an emergency. Pharmacists are also recommending people check their medications now while there is still time to organise sufficient supplies to cover into the New Year.

Warehouse helps

The Warehouse has partnered with Women’s Refuge to bring some Christmas cheer to women and children around New Zealand who seek help over the holiday season, by facilitating a nationwide gifting campaign called Elves on Shelves. Kiwis can drop off gifts at any of The Warehouse stores nationwide to be donated to Women’s Refuge for distribution among at-risk women and children seeking shelter from domestic violence. The initiative runs until December 19. To boost the Elves on Shelves campaign, The Warehouse is supporting Women’s Refuge with a $16,100 gift card donation.

THE Levin East senior Kapa Haka group has won a place in the 2015 National Primary and Secondary Schools Kapa Haka finals.

National final beckons school

By TANYA WOOD A long tradition of Kapa Haka has finally paid off for Levin East School which will see its senior team perform in a national final, for the first time.

The group of 40 Year 4 to 6 pupils competed in the Palmerston North regional finals in October, against 10 other schools, to take third place and qualify for the national finals.

Kapa Haka tutor and Levin East teacher Kahura

Cameron said they did not expect to get placed, and the win has been the highlight of the year for the whole school.

“We wanted our kids to have the experience and exposure to excellence and quality performance. Two intermediate schools took first and second place, Years 7 and 8, which is a big gap in age, so to come third is huge for us.” A junior team from the school also competed but was not placed.

The senior group will be rehearsing most of next year,

including school holidays as they did this year, for an hour each week, to perfect a new 25 minute performance comprising six acts, which will include pois and traditional weaponry.

A former national Kapa Haka champion, who has performed around the world, Mr Cameron is responsible for the choice of music, songs and choreography. “I love it.

I love the dedication and passion shown by the kids.”

Approximately 90 pupils in both the junior and senior

schools take part each year in Kapa Haka, a feature of school life for more than 14 years, strongly supported by staff, whanau and parents. It makes for an extremely hard choice to select only 40 per group for competitions.

“Yeah, it definitely pulls at the heart strings to make the final call,” Mr Cameron said.

“But the kids are still hugely excited about going to the finals and it’s infectious when you see the kids that happy and excited.”

CHRISTMAS LIGHTS TRAIL Horowhenua Chronicle congratulates and thanks the wonderful Horowhenua residents who go to a huge amount of effort lighting up their homes and sharing the spirit of Christmas.

Please continue to let us know of any addresses not listed below. We need to have the information by December 16 to include in our final edition on December 19.

VTNZ will take over as the sole provider of practical driver testing services from New Zealand Driver Licensing Ltd (NZDL) on May 1, 2015. VTNZ will be contracted to carry out all practical driver tests for car, motorcycle and heavy vehicle licences for an initial period of five years. The contract for testing services were put out for tender earlier this year as part of a review of how driver licence testing is delivered. The level of skill and competencies required to pass practical tests won’t be changing as practical tests were made more challenging in 2012 as part of the Government’s Safer Journeys Strategy.

Gift collection

MidCentral DHB is collecting gifts and food for the Salvation Army to distribute in the Horowhenua region, for the 11th year running. They are calling for visitors to help staff spread the Christmas cheer to needy families from around the district. They may be dropped off at the Horowhenua Health Centre reception up until Friday December 19.

Non-perishable food items are welcome.

Unwrapped gifts are acceptable and if presents are wrapped, please indicate the appropriate gender and age of the recipient. The Salvation Army find it particularly difficult to source presents for boys 12-15 years old.

Rates not done deal

Rate change proposals are not a ‘done deal’ according to David Clapperton, Chief Executive officer of Horowhenua District Council. Residents have voiced a resounding “no” to a proposed shift to capital value-based rates. Council consulted ratepayer and community groups and landowners to be most affected by the change and received only 5.5 percent in favour. If the vote is in favour, the capital value proposal will be included in next year's draft Long Term Plan, open to public consultation in April next year. The first round of consultation was not required under local government legislation, Clapperton said, but was carried out so council could gauge the public views.

Electra buys Security

Local electricity lines company, Electra, has announced that it has acquired Wanganui Security, a company providing a full range of monitoring, response and security services. Wanganui Security was established 30 years ago and will continue to operate from its current location, although the business will be renamed to reflect its wider market. All existing staff, including the original owners, are expected to transfer with the business.

BLUE BEAT

FROM THE BEEHIVE

Help Police track down cruel thieves with GRAEME JARVIS Community Constable It was very disappointing to hear of a miserly theft of two lawnmowers from Hinemoa House recently.

These expensive machines were kindly donated by a local business for use by those families in the Levin South community who cannot afford to buy their own.

Stored at the house, they were readily available for a gold coin donation to anyone in need.

Not so now, as the two Masport brand mowers, one less than a year old, have been stolen.

Both are red and grey in colour with black plastic catchers, and police would like to hear from anyone who knows where they are, or may have any information about who took them.

Police from time to time conduct operations on licensed premises to check that alcohol is not being sold to minors, or to intoxicated persons. In all such operations, police collaborate with staff from the DHB and local councils.

Horowhenua police conducted such an operation last Friday, checking all the off licensed premises from

Himatangi Beach, to Levin, including Foxton, Shannon and Waitarere Beach. In all, 16 premises, including bottle stores, supermarkets and superettes, were checked and the team was very happy with the 100 per cent compliance of all the premises.

Compliance checks continued at other licensed premises throughout the night, including hotels, bars, clubs, and even a local theatre

Impressive progress on new expressway with NATHAN GUY Otaki MP

company. This operation was supported by staff from ACC, Highway Patrol and TAG (Traffic Alcohol Group), otherwise known as the ‘booze bus', so local people who were out and about will have noticed considerably more staff than usual in and around town.

A number of compliance breaches were detected, including selling alcohol to minors, drink driving and many other traffic infringements.

It was very disappointing to hear that Waiopehu College was the target of thieves over the weekend, after a window was broken to gain access. Once again, a community asset, one that so many local children take great pride in, has been the target for some opportunist burglar.

Police are still working with college staff to determine exactly what might have been stolen, and would like to hear from anyone who may have any information.

Finally, I take my hat off to everyone involved in the Christmas Parade on Sunday.

Despite a horrendous spell of wind and rain, the organisers, everyone on the floats and all the spectators who turned out to watch, made such a special event worthwhile.

Last week marked the one year anniversary of construction starting on the MacKays to Peka Peka Expressway, and it was great to have the Transport Minister Simon Bridges visit the site.

We were both impressed with the incredible progress that has been made in such a short amount of time.

I’m a regular visitor on to the $630 million expressway and the construction teams are doing a fantastic job. There are 18 bridges being built along the 18km route.

The Waikanae Bridge is making great progress and has eight massive piles that are 34 metres deep and designed to withstand decent earthquakes.

There are many environmental and community positives with the expressway. Up to 1.5 million plants are being planted and for every hectare of wetland lost or modified during construction, five hectares will be created. We also saw the start of the 18km dedicated cycling, bridle and walkway.

The benefits of this project are huge for our region. Nearly 500 jobs have been added so far, which will grow to 600 next year. They are still hiring – crane operators, truck drivers, pavement experts, carpenters, pre-cast concrete workers and traffic controllers.

More than 60 professionals have moved into Kapiti to work on the

Expressway. Over $110 million in orders of construction materials have been placed with many local businesses, helping stimulate our regional growth.

Employment and training continues to grow. Many locals are being employed to work in a job they can take real pride in, on their own front door step.

Training initiatives have been established to recruit local graduates to help meet project demand for skilled labour.

The expressway is on track to be completed by 2017, which is great news for our region.

Lastly, I had the privilege of welcoming the new $25,000 Inflatable Rescue Boat that the ¯ taki Surf Life Saving Club won O in a competition hosted by BP. The club is in great heart and helping to keep the Otaki community safe this summer.

Well done team.

Help us “Fill the Stores - Christmas for everyone”

Wishing Everyone a Very

A Community Project We know there are a lot of kids and families in our community who will miss out this Christmas. In the words of our local Social Services coordinators, there are children who will literally not get any presents this Christmas and furthermore families who will not have a lot of food on Christmas Day. That’s not good enough! We’re doing something about this and you can help!

We are working with Strengthening Families, Horowhenua District Council, Otaki Birthright and NZ Police as well the Radio Network and have set up project teams in each of Otaki, Horowhenua and Waiopehu Colleges. We’re serious about making a difference and our goal is to fill both Levin and Otaki Subway Stores with Christmas presents for these kids in our community and Christmas food goodies suitable for putting into family hampers.

You are assured your generosity will hit the mark as we work with appropriate Government and Community Agencies to ensure these gifts and food hampers get to the people who need it most, in our community.

A very funny family THEATRE REVIEW Addams Family Levin Performing Arts Society Reviewed by Pam Smith Levin Performing Arts Society is very excited about the interest they are receiving for their current ‘quirky’ production, the Addams Family.

The society is only the second in New Zealand to produce the show following on from a sell-out show in Wellington.

A cast of 21 all acquitted themselves well in their respective roles, in particular Frazer Double as Gomez Addams, husband of Morticia (Cat Lamb) and father of Wednesday (Sjan Giles-Oza). He maintained his character at all times and

handled his many songs well. Morticia (Cat Lamb) shone in one of her songs, Death is just around the Corner, one of the highlights of the show for me.

The appealing young lovers, Wednesday (Sjan Giles-Oza) and Lucas (John Manville) performed convincingly while their respective parents struggled with the romance. Noah Watters (Pugsley), Blaise Fennelly (Uncle Fester), Amber Mayo (Grandma), Nigel Hewitt (Lurch), Geena Collins-Oldham (Alice Beineke) and Richard Hyland (Mal Beineke) portrayed their characters with aplomb. In particular Alice’s singing appealed.

The Ancestors were very entertaining — Jazz Aungiers, Bruce Clark, Krystal Connell, Xavier Hirini, Isabella Pickering, Liam Rodgers, Aaron Rolls, Tiernan Spalding, Ebony Taylor, Leteisha Te AwheDowney, Hiko Tofa all sung and danced,

totally dedicated, and obviously enjoying the challenge.

It was an intriguing show, which I enjoyed, in particular the music.

Congratulations to the artistic and musical director, Rueben Price. You did well, as did

choreographer, Cat Lamb. But to me, one person stole the show, a bubbling and rumbling Lurch (Nigel Hewitt). The audience loved him too and he received the biggest ovation of all in the finale — it was tumultuous.

Concert band puts on Christmas treat Enjoy the Christmas musical sounds, big brass band-style, performed tomorrow by the Levin Centennial Concert Band.

CHEF TRAINING

HOROWHENUA College 2014 Dux Audrey Agus (second right) is flanked by her proud parents and college principal Grant Congdon at the senior prizegiving. with GRANT CONGDON Principal The main focus for students at Horowhenua College is academic achievement. Working hard to gain a qualification, which opens the door to their chosen career, is the main purpose for coming to college each day and we encourage all our students to ‘aim for excellence’.

We also want each student to grow and mature as a person, to be people who are responsible, build positive relationships and are successful in all areas of their lives.

Living up to these values is known as “The NUA Way” and is referred to with pride.

So it was with pride and pleasure that I was able to hand out more than $30,000 worth of prizes and scholarships to our students at the Horowhenua College Senior Prizegiving held last week. Every one well-deserved, and we wish them every success in their future chosen pathways.

Audrey Livirya was named Dux for 2014. Her achievements included firsts in Accounting, Biology, Calculus, Chemistry, English and Physics. She also won the Horowhenua Scholarship worth $800 for each of the first three years of tertiary study, and the

University of Canterbury Dux Scholarship valued at $5,000.

Audrey was our top Year 11 student in 2012 and top Year 12 student in 2013, achieving both NCEA Level 1 and Level 2 with Excellence. This year, as well as external examinations for her six subjects, she sat five scholarship examinations. Audrey is planning to pursue a career in engineering, particularly in the technological area of bots, artificial intelligence and sensor technology.

Alex Whiley was awarded the Massey University College of Business ‘Captains Club’ Leadership Award for Excellence in Leadership. This scholarship recognises the outstanding leadership shown by Alex during his year as Head Boy. Alex intends to study a Bachelor of Aviation at

Massey University next year.

Jessica Freire won the Victoria University School Leaver Scholarship for Academic Excellence, which provides $5,000 towards the first year of a Bachelor’s degree at Victoria University. Jessica’s strengths are in Design and Digital Technology, which she will be studying at Victoria next year.

Students in the Horowhenua district are particularly lucky to be supported by a number of local businesses and trusts which regularly donate scholarships for tertiary study. This year, the Atkins Scholarship Trust that awards $2,000 for each of the first three years of tertiary study, was awarded to Anarosa Afasene who intends to study at Massey University.

Samarah Harris and Mu Teo were awarded scholarships from the Frank Bryce Masonic Charity Fund worth $1,500 each. Samarah is heading to Victoria University for a Bachelor of Tourism Management and Mu will be studying accounting at Massey.

It now just leaves me to wish all our students, staff and the Horowhenua community a very merry Christmas and happy New Year.

Volunteers needed for working bee at Morgan Crescent

By FRANKIE WEBB Making a beautiful space for the Morgan Crescent community to enjoy is what the Morgan Crescent Park makeover on Sunday is all about.

Rain, hail or shine volunteers are invited to come together at 9am at the eastern entrance, which is nearest Taitoko Kindergarten and School.

The beautification working bee is part of the greater Levin South Park Improvements Initiative, identified and being progressed by the Neighbourhood Policing Team, and members of the Levin South Neighbourhood Safety Panel.

“We are hoping for both young and old to come along and get involved as there will be plenty to do,” said Neighbourhood Policing Team’s Constable Fiona Barker. “If you have a wheelbarrow, shovel or rake then bring them along.”

The project has come about following a community consultation barbecue at Taitoko School. The community made it clear they wanted to improve the neighbourhood parks and recreation areas, making them more family friendly. In consultation with the community, a plan was agreed to and support given by Horowhenua District Council. As a first step the Morgan Crescent Park entrance makeover is being completed this weekend in time for Christmas, making the place more inviting.

“The community involvement in helping with these improvements will

We are hoping for both young and old to come along and get involved as there will be plenty to do.

’

— Constable FIONA BARKER send a clear message to everybody that this is a safe and healthy community,” Constable Barker said.

“Come along and get involved to demonstrate your support.”

Taitoko School and Kindergarten are excited by the project. They have kindly offered to assist the community in taking on a co-caretaker role for the garden areas.

The planning group intend pushing forward in the New Year to meet with council and discuss other projects in the area. If you want to be involved in this process please come along on Sunday and/or make contact with the Neighbourhood Policing Team by contacting either Constable Fiona Barker (021 191 4743), Senior Constable Damian Graves (021 191 4734) or Senior Constable Danny Giles (021 191 2243).

CONSTABLE Fiona Barker, a member of the Neighbourhood Policing Team, will be at Morgan Crescent Park on Sunday morning and is urging volunteers to come along and give the place a makeover to create a space where people from the community will love to go.

CHRISTMAS Day stalwarts Pastor Eric Booth and Betty Chapman hosting Christmas dinner for anyone who would like to join them at Lifechangers church.

Christmas lunch

LEVIN Intermediate students get the word out on to the street to stop smoking.

By FRANKIE WEBB

Smokefree message

By TANYA WOOD “We want to be smokefree.”

That was the message from a group of 22 Levin Intermediate students out on the street this week spreading their ‘don’t start smoking’ message at a mini expo outside BNZ Levin.

Singing We want to be Smokefree, written by students earlier in the year, and handing out balloons and cupcakes, with stop smoking messages written on the bottom of the cake cases, the group was hard to miss.

The students were also more

than happy to share information they had researched about the effects of smoking and the benefits of giving up, with people who stopped to take an interest.

Levin Intermediate teacher Suzanne Murphy said the children “absolutely” enjoyed the whole experience. “It was all very positive especially the interaction with members of the public. Some people shared their personal experiences of giving up smoking with the children, others who didn’t smoke supported what the kids were doing and said good on them for trying to make a

difference.”

She said if this helped just one person or child to not start smoking then “we’ve done our job”.

The project is part of the SOS — Smoke or Save — initiative launched at Horowhenua College earlier this year by MidCentral District Health Board Maori health advisor Doug Edwards, with the support of BNZ Levin.

Lesley Forward, Levin branch manager, thought the students had done “an amazing job” getting the message out to the community.

Christmas Day should never be a lonely day. No matter what denomination, age, gender or ethnicity you are, Lifechangers church welcomes anyone who would be alone on Christmas Day to join them for a sumptuous Christmas lunch.

For 13 years the church has produced a community Christmas lunch. “The first year we had about 80 people, now it’s closer to 200,” said Betty Chapman who has co-ordinated the whole thing since day one. “This is my last year as co-ordinator, my day starts at 3am.

I’m 75 years old now, I still want to be involved but I want to have some time on Christmas Day with my family so next year it is someone else’s turn.”

Also there since day one is Pastor Eric Booth. “I will be here on the day, not quite as early as Betty, but for the first time in 13 years I’m going to go home and have lunch with my family. I would like to leave a place at the

table for someone more deserving.”

Betty shops year round in preparation for the big day, getting items when they are at sale price.

Some food is donated. “No turkey this year,” Betty said. “We have beef, and ham, we have chickens and would love a few more — but we haven’t had a turkey. Ice cream would be gratefully received as well.” The meal is preceded by drinks and nibbles, and then followed by dessert, tea and coffee.

Everything is free.

“This is a non-religious outreach, it is purely a community dinner, there is no church service,” Eric said.

“Some of the people we haven’t seen before and may not see again, as long as they have had a good Christmas Day, we’ve achieved our aim.”

■ Bookings for Christmas Day are essential and close on December 18. If you would like to attend or help, or have donated food to be collected please phone 3672489.

SPORTS RESULTS ■ CROQUET

LEVIN’S Max Attwell, right, has hurdled to a national title at the Secondary School Athletics Championships.

Levin athlete bags national title

By TANYA WOOD Levin athlete Max Attwell literally overcame a hurdle to take home a national title at the Secondary School Athletics Championships, and a clutch of gold medals.

The 18-year-old competed in the senior boys 300 metre hurdles event, laying down one of the fastest qualifying times.

However the final heat wasn’t all plain sailing. Lying fourth as the field approached the final hurdle, Attwell hit the hurdle and stumbled. It could have been game over but Attwell powered through the competition to win by nearly a metre and take the gold medal. He ran it in a personal best time of 38.63 seconds.

Not content with one gold medal,

Attwell went on to help his team win the 4 x 100m relay race, and ran another fast leg in the 4 x 400m relay to claim his third gold medal during the weekend at Cookes Garden in Wanganui.

Attwell, a keen hockey player who has played in representative sides since Year 7, never considered athletics.

He started having some success in the track and field last year and his coach suggested he compete in the U20 decathlon at the NZ Combined Events champs in February this year. With little training, Attwell took the silver and four months later traded up to gold, coming first in the U20 octathlon at the Oceania Area Championships.

His achievements have earned him a place in the New Zealand Secondary

Schools Athletic team, making him eligible for the Young Olympians Tour in January, to Hastings, Wanganui and Wellington. He has also qualified for the California Track and Field Tour in April 2015 and Oceania Championships in Cairns, June 2015.

Mum Lynette said Max was loving his new sports code. “It’s just the beginning, it’s a long road ahead as decathletes don’t peak until their mid to late 20s. He’s had no proper training so far so it will be exciting to see what he can achieve.”

Born and bred in Levin, attending Levin North School, Attwell is in his final year as a boarder at Wanganui Collegiate.

He heads to Canterbury University next year where he will continue his decathlon training.

Deadline looms for rates rebate applications Ratepayers who think they may be eligible for a rates rebate for the 2014/2015 year, that may result in a little extra cash in time for Christmas, need to apply before the second instalment of rates due date on Monday.

Residential ratepayers with a combined income of up to $24,250 may be eligible for a rates rebate of up to $605.

The rebate is based on total income for the year ending March 31 2014 and amount of rates for both Horowhenua District and Horizons Regional Councils. Ratepayers need to have been living in their property at July 1 2014 and named as an owner of that property. Applicants need to provide proof of income (before tax) for the tax year ended March 31 2014, including any interest received, and proof of a partner’s income or joint income if living together.

Application forms are available from Horowhenua District Council Service Centre in Levin, as well as at the Foxton and Shannon Libraries, or online at www.ratesrebates.govt.nz.

SERVICE DIRECTORY

Carpet care at its best Carpet composition has changed dramatically over the years — some carpet care companies have failed to take that fact on board.

“They still use methods which saturate the carpet, it stays damp and smells for weeks," carpet care specialist Roger Bloxham said.

“The smelly old chemical methods have been superseded, but in saying that there are still some applications that require a chemical treatment. The important thing is knowing which application is suitable for what."

After nearly three decades of taking care of Horowhenua carpets Roger is an expert in the field.

"Generally we have good quality carpets in New Zealand, carpeting your home is a big investment and looked after properly lasts for years and years."

Some well meaning owners hire carpet cleaning machines but as Roger explains, it's often money wasted and in many instances more expensive than getting a professional in to do the job properly.

“The little rug cleaners you hire have a single engine, not very powerful and do about half the job. Professional cleaners have two motors, they're a powerful beast," he said.

The big machines not only remove more dirt, but also more liquid so the carpet is pretty much dry when the job is finished.

This application is also ideal for cleaning lounge suites and dining room

chairs. Unlike do-it-yourself jobs, anything done by Roger carries a guarantee.

From Foxton to Kapiti, Roger is happy to bring his mobile cleaning unit at a time that suits the customer and can do most jobs within three days.

Whether you live in Foxton or Waikanae the charge stays at $120 for lounge, hall and dining plus $20 for each extra room. For any queries contact Roger Bloxham ph 364-6777 or 021 838-566.

Pooches need playtime daily PET Posers I regularly walk my dog on a lead, but I was wondering if this is enough. Is this stimulating for him? He’s a lovely labrador and full of energy.

Thank you.

Great to hear from you, thanks for writing in!

First, good on you for walking your dog regularly. It’s so essential for a happy and healthy dog, so I absolutely commend you!

stimulating in terms of sounds and especially smells, it’s also great to incorporate some other types of activity, especially ones that are play focused and help you engage with your dog.

Some of our favourites are a classic game of fetch, or tug of war using a piece of knotted rope.

Having dedicated playtime is absolutely essential for a happy, healthy and well-stimulated dog.

dogs around (it’s awesome — look up “Beneful Vending Machine” on YouTube to check it out). This really shows how much dogs like a bit of a challenge and a game.

It’s also great to spend time training dogs — they love the attention and praise when they master it! For example, if he doesn’t already know how to shake or roll over, you could do that with him — again, this is very intellectually stimulating and great in bursts of 5-10 minutes at a time.

Hope you enjoy it!

time. What’s not to love?

Plus, we also find that a dog that’s had lots of playtime is likely to be more relaxed and wellbehaved at home. Attention seeking antics and destructive behaviour are often a sign of boredom, so it’s better you can play games with your dog and walk him too.

Keep your pets safe this holiday season The holiday season can be overwhelming for animals and a full house can be quite intimidating. There’s a lot going on, and plenty of trouble to get into. Here are a few suggestions for how you can put your pet at ease and keep them safe so that they can enjoy this time as well.

• Make time during the day to simply spend time with your pet and keep to their normal routine as much as possible.

• Make sure they have a safe and comfortable retreat area away from the hustle and bustle.

• Noise can scare your pet. Christmas crackers and corks popping could panic your pet.

• Please choose pet specific food treats. Human food can cause diarrhoea, vomiting, or worse, poison your pet or become a medical or surgical emergency. Beware your pet getting into chocolate, nuts, fatty foods and bones.

• Buy your pet’s Christmas present from a reputable pet shop or veterinary clinic, and keep your pet away from children’s toys.

• Keep them away from decorations and wrapping paper, electrical cords and lights.

• Several festive plants are attractive and poisonous to cat, including lilies and poinsettia.

• Keep your pets cool. If you’re outside, make sure they have access to shade and plenty of water. NEVER leave your dog in the car or any enclosed space where they can overheat. Animals that get too hot can die - fast.

• If you’re going away and taking your pet, make sure they travel safely and securely, have rest and toilet breaks, and the opportunity to have a drink.

• If you‘re leaving them in boarding facilities, make sure their vaccinations are up-to-date. Don’t leave it until the last minute!

If you find your pet is due for a vaccination whilst you’re away, call your vet now to book an appointment.

• If you’re leaving them at home, make sure the person staying with them or checking on them daily has yours and your veterinarian’s contact number on hand.

• If your pet has a prescription medicine or diet, check that there will be enough to cover your time away.

• Last but not least, help spread the message that pets are for life, not just for Christmas. Never support the giving of animals as a surprise gift.

Have a safe and happy holiday season.

Roses need extra care in summer legume, pea straw adds extra nitrogen, a major plant food.

Other mulches can also do a good job. It’s often a matter of what’s the easiest mulch for you to get hold of.

■ Fertilising roses: Roses are frequently described as ‘hungry’ plants.

This means they need plenty of fertilising during their growing period. And most roses are repeat flowerers that will bloom again and again through the warmer weather. A well formulated fertiliser like Dynamic Lifter PLUS Flower Food will support all growth and bloom production. Potted roses are usually more easily fed with a liquid such as the Thrive Concentrate for Roses & Flowers or the new Thrive Easy Pods. Remember, though, any liquid will have to be applied regularly — at least once a fortnight. Then you can stop feeding altogether during the rose’s winter dormant period.

■ Rose pest and disease control: Pests and diseases love roses as much as we do. They can be frustrating but there are lots of things you can do to keep them at bay. Grow roses in full sun with plenty of air space around them. Cut back often — not just in winter but throughout the growing season. Fertilise well.

Summer, when the warmth of the sun encourages waves of blooms, is the peak of rose season.

But summer can also be a challenging time of year for roses. Don’t neglect them at this time, because a little extra care will pay handsome dividends.

■ Watering roses: Well established roses can be quite drought resistant but they appreciate an extra drink when it’s hot and dry. But did you know the spores of black spot, the most hated of rose fungal diseases, can only germinate if there’s moisture on the leaf for about seven hours and if the temperature is about 18°C? This stringent-sounding set of requirements is easily met on a moderately warm summer night which is why it’s so important to water roses in the morning — it allows time for the leaves to dry before nightfall.

And, obviously, if you can water at the base without wetting the leaves, that’s even more helpful.

■ Mulching roses: A layer of organic mulch spread around a rose will help stop weeds and keep the soil cooler and moister. The advantage of organic mulch is it eventually breaks down to improve the soil. Many gardeners use pea straw to mulch roses. Because it’s a

Fired-up Farr too fast in test clash

By PETER FRANKLIN

A master in action, Australian Robbie Farr at full throttle leading 2nz Dean Brindle, one of New Zealand’s best, during the PN Parts Porter Hire International Sprintcar series.

It was two in a row for Australian Robbie Farr, who won his second feature competing at Palmerston North’s Robertson Holden International Speedway on Monday.

Farr and fellow Australian James McFadden showed local speedway fans — plus New Zealand and American team members — why they were classed as ‘‘the best of the best’’ from across the ditch with spectacular wheel-to-wheel action.

For promoter Bruce Robertson it was a night to celebrate, hosting the track’s first official test match between the three nations. The meeting had been advertised as a must-see for speedway fans with four international drivers, Johnathan Allard (USA-0), Kraig Kinser (USA11), Robbie Farr (7Aust) and James McFadden (25 Aust) matched up against two of the best New Zealand sprintcar wheelers, 2nz Dean Brindle and 3nz Jamie McDonald.

The first test match saw the Kiwis suffer an early setback, with 3nz Jamie McDonald dropping down the field, but recovering to pull an outside pass on 25aust James McFadden. 0usa Jonathan Allard won the race from pole position, but the big mover was 7aus Robbie Farr, who crossed the line in second place from grid five.

The second test was an all-Australia

affair as Farr and McFadden took maximum points. Young American Kraig Kinser, 11usa, was third after being plagued with mechanical woes and Allard was fourth to strike the Kiwis a blow.

The final was plagued by a number of forced restarts, firstly for a jumped start then for a caution on the opening lap when 21w Stephen Taylor squeezed 25aust James McFadden into the wall on the grandstand straight. With damage to his car, McFadden retired to the infield.

When the final did get going it was a cracker, with 7aust Farr spectacularly holding the high line from his outside grid to emerge in front of 0usa Jonathan Allard.

It was not long before the lead cars were weaving their way through lapped traffic.

The normally calm Farr had a ‘‘brain fade’’ and crashed into 19a Jamie Duff, bringing on the yellow flags and giving Allard a sniff at the front. Somehow Farr survived with a damaged front wing, and courageously kept the power on, holding off Allard to take the win.

78a Daniel Eggleton was an excellent third and the only Kiwi able to remain within touching distance of the leaders.

2nz Dean Brindle and 3nz Jamie McDonald showed their class to finish next.

The tri-nation’s final test takes place tomorrow night at Auckland’s Western Springs Speedway.

Maserati celebrated its centennial on December 1 with the production of the 50,000th car at its new Turin factory, less than two years since it started production.

The new Maserati plant at Avv. Giovanni Agnelli Plant, in Grugliasco, Turin, is where the Quattroporte and Ghibli saloons are manufactured, and was officially inaugurated on January 30 last year.

With a production ramp-up designed to maximise the quality of the finished product, it has been possible to reach 50,000 cars in just 22 months.

Car number 50,000, was a Quattroporte S painted in the new Grigio Maratea, with red and black interior upholstery and destined for the United States market.

The North American market, where the Quattroporte S is appreciated for its comfort, finish and unprecedented sportiness, this year reached a new sales record, with more than 10,700 Maseratis delivered in the first 10 months of the year.

Mazda3 named NZ Car of the Year The Mazda3 was named as this year’s New Zealand Car of the Year at an event hosted by the AA and the New Zealand Motoring Writers’ Guild at Auckland’s Viaduct Events Centre last week.

The compact car beat the nine other finalists to take the ultimate award, which included a pack of six SUVs, a small and large car and a performance car.

Members of the New Zealand Motoring Writers’ Guild (NZMWG) and AA motoring experts voted on the list of finalists to produce the Mazda3 as the eventual winner.

To make their decision, the judges considered styling, performance, handling, economy, comfort, interior design, build quality and finish, practicality, value for money and the importance X factor.

AA Motoring Services general manager Stella Stocks says the Mazda3 has become a Kiwi favourite with a wide range of models to suit a broad range of motorists.

“The Mazda3 is a very deserving winner and its place at the head of the top 10 finalists is likely providing little surprise to many,” Ms Stocks says.

“With the Mazda3, we have an

outstanding all-rounder with a wide model range and some great safety technology. It’s also a mainstream car that carries an air of desirability because of many features and creature comforts that would normally command a premium price tag.”

The Mazda3 also took out the Best in Class Compact Car award ahead of other top contenders the VW Golf and Ford Focus.

NZMWG president Liz Dobson says the Mazda3 is a head turner.

“Despite the strong impact of SUVs on the New Zealand market this year, and as finalists for Car of the Year, the Mazda3 was a clear winner due to its styling, fuel economy, numerous safety features and value for money,” said Ms Dobson.

“Since its launch here, guild members have been impressed with the Mazda3 and it’s sure to be a popular choice with the New Zealand buying public.”

Separate to the selection of the New Zealand Car of the Year, the judges voted on nine vehicle categories — from small car to luxury SUV — with a 10th category going to the safest car, an award provided to the vehicle that receive the highest Australasian New Car

Assessment Programme (ANCAP) rating for both crash test performance and pedestrian safety between October 1, 2013 and September 30, 2014.

This year, the Safest Car is the Mercedes-Benz C-Class.

Ms Stocks says the C-Class represents the best occupant protection available from a new car, along with good pedestrian safety. “Mercedes-Benz has also been at the global forefront of developing safety assist technologies to minimise the chances of a crash that would require putting the passenger cabin integrity to the test.”
