REMEMBERING: Reverend Val Barber would like to contact descendants of those who have family remembered by the stained glass windows at Foxton’s historic All Saints Church. PICTURE: FRANKIE WEBB

By FRANKIE WEBB All Saints Day is going to be a special one for Foxton’s historic All Saints Church. Unique stained glass windows, donated in memory of parishioners who have died, will be acknowledged in a service dedicated to them. The windows date from the early 1900s to 1989 so have a variety of styles. The names of those they commemorate, although in some cases over a century old, are familiar ones having been appointed as street names in Foxton. The oldest window above the altar was installed in 1888

in memory of Francis Robinson. ‘‘Captain Francis Robinson began organising the building of an Anglican Church in 1876,’’ said local historian Tony Hunt. ‘‘This was in response to Reverend Duncan having opened a Presbyterian church in the area.’’ The last window was installed in 1989 in memory of Betty Davenport. ‘‘We’re hoping descendants of all those remembered by the windows will join in the celebrations,’’ Reverend Val Barber said. ‘‘To help us honour the heritage of the windows.’’ Those who are

remembered by the windows are Francis Senior and Ellen Robinson, Francis Robinson Junior, A S Easton, James and Elizabeth Barber, Walter and Ann Barber, Ivy Edwards, Betty Davenport, Noeline Hardie, Bruce Smith, C H Morgan. The church bell was donated by George and Harry Coley in memory of James Coley who died on January 28 1901. The commemorative service is at 10.30am on November 3 at the All Saints Church, Main Street, Foxton. All descendants are invited to contact Val, phone 363-8597, if they are interested in taking part in the celebrations.

PROUD HISTORY All Saints Church was built in 1876 on land that had been procured by Captain Francis Robinson in 1868 for that purpose. A condition of the sale was that the grave of a young chief, Pationa, behind the building would be maintained and this obligation is still carried on today. Features of the church are its stained glass windows and the organ, which has been in use since 1907. The baptistry in the front was added in 1968. — Source: Kete Horowhenua

By LINDA FLETCHER Volunteer gardeners at the Levin Public Gardens have received a pat on the back from a neighbour. Keep Levin Beautiful members have been working in the gardens for the past few years adding colour and filling in gaps in the areas around Thompson House and in Remembrance Park. One of the residents in the area donated money through Keep Levin Beautiful to Horowhenua District Council contractors Horrobin and Hodge to spend on the garden. So far five heritage roses have been planted, chosen because they were favourites of the couple who made the neighbourly donation. Volunteer Sharron Brizzle said the couple regarded themselves as fortunate that they lived somewhere with such a beautiful outlook. ‘‘The donation was to recognise and appreciate the improvement in the gardens as well as the efforts that Horrobin and Hodge as contractors and the volunteers have made in the last few years,’’ she said. The gardens have had their spring coat on, with the daffadils, many of them donated by nurserymen, ‘‘looking fabulous’’. Mayor Brendan Duffy visited the volunteers who

KEEP Levin Beautiful volunteer gardeners, Dan Brizzle, Sharron Brizzle and Janet Brown with Elliot Marshall-McNabb from Horrobin and Hodge and Horowhenua Mayor Brendan Duffy in front of their latest team effort in Remembrance Park. were planting the roses and was impressed with the work they had been doing. ‘‘It’s a brilliant example of

motivated people in the community being prepared to do their bit to make a real difference,’’ he said.

The roses have been planted in a newly developed garden in the corner of Remembrance Park.

YOUR VIEWS I have lived in Levin since 1973. The town has altered significantly since then, not always for the better. However, when I look around now I do so with pride as the more recent developments that have taken place should be looked upon with a well-deserved sense of collective achievement. The library, theatre complex, council chambers, supermarkets are as good as any found in New Zealand cities. A diverse retail sector, a very capable service industry, farming and market gardening activities form a sound backbone to the town that many other places in New Zealand would be proud of. Much of this recent infrastructure was developed during a period of severe financial constraint the effects of which are still with us today. The forthcoming local body elections have focused my mind on what has been achieved and unfortunately what has been criticised so vocally. Our hardworking mayor, council and councillors have come under a lot of criticism, some of which is justified and some of which is not warranted. Increasing rates are of concern to us all and under New Zealand’s present economic climate I do not see how we can go on increasing rates every year. Yes, we have some debt which many of us would rather not have but the audited accounts clearly

show that this debt is lower than some critics would have us believe. Council operating costs have been also criticised as have staffing levels. In this modern society of ours running local bodies has become very complex. To operate efficiently we require qualified and motivated people who do not regard working for council to be a second rate job hence these pay packages must be competitive. The other impact on council staffing and finances has been the result of central government transferring responsibility for the administration of some statutory requirements to local bodies without the accompanying finance. This is grossly unfair even though assistance through the Local Government Funding Agency has been made available at competitive interest rates. Like all of us, council also has to deal with increases in insurance, energy costs etc. This leaves council situated between ratepayers who want no rate increases but all the infrastructure, and Central Government that is passing statutory standards that must be met regardless of local economic circumstances. Approximately 60 per cent of council expenditure comes from rates. Further monies come from fees charged for services. Some of these fees are regarded by some as excessive however, statutory requirements generate a huge amount of paper work which is difficult to avoid. Some process re-engineering could make some improvements I am sure, but still would leave cost savings short of the mark. In my opinion the only way we can improve the situation is to attract businesses to Levin from other places where it is more expensive to operate which would increase the rate payer base; this has already happened. It is not easy but can be achieved — Auckland is a target that comes to mind. To reduce costs to the point where the

present rates and fees would be sufficient to fund council, we would need to forgo any improvement within our community and require Central Government to change the rules. If we as a community are to continue to prosper we cannot go backwards. We all need to work together, not putting sectionalised interests first. I do not accept the notion that Levin is doomed to stagnation. Look around you, we have a great town even Aucklanders have commented favourably — praise indeed. Council has provided good facilities but is up to us the community to make this work for the benefit of all. Whatever you believe, please get out there and vote. MEL DOUGLAS Levin

Shannon water

I have just been reading a report in the Horowhenua Chronicle of a meeting to discuss water and drainage schemes for Shannon and Foxton. Two schemes were discussed, the first for a gravitation supply from the Shannon hills and the second for an artesian supply. This sounded interesting and one councillor suggested it was only fair to get the proposal before the ratepayers as early as possible. This seemed very topical as discussion about Shannon water is ongoing. The date of the Chronicle article? December 19 1913, just a couple of months short of 100 years ago. JENNY DICK Shannon

Reward for playwright Levin playwright Valerie Franklin has got the tick of approval from her peers for her latest comedy Poppy Day, soon to hit the local stage. Mrs Franklin entered the play in the Playwrights Association of New Zealand competition for new plays. In total, the association received 40 entries and Poppy Day was highly commended in the judging process. ‘‘What a buzz it was to get the news,’’ Mrs Franklin said. ‘‘ I have been a member of PANZ for several years and it is being part of an organisation like PANZ that gives you the encouragement and someone to bounce ideas off and get good advice. ‘‘I have been fortunate to have had several plays win awards, Best Play, Best New Zealand Play and now highly commended. ‘‘It’s a wonderful reward for doing something you love to do.’’ While her passion is capturing life’s funny side and building it into an entertaining stage show, Mrs Franklin can lay claim to have done most things around amateur theatre, from directing to arranging props, helping to build and paint sets to backstage manager and even the occasional cameo appearance in several productions. ‘‘Live theatre is the most wonderful medium to entertain communities,’’ she said. The Playwrights Association of New Zealand began in 1958. First and foremost in the aims and objectives is: To further the interests of playwrights in New Zealand. Association president Richard Harris said over the years there has been some natural evolution as the association is purely a voluntary organisation run by its members. PANZ has developed

LISTENING to people laugh is a reward that inspires Levin playwright Valerie Franklin, as she prepares to get her latest work on stage. strong ties to Playmarket, a number of theatres and amateur associations. ‘‘For example, last month the Whangarei Repertory company performed two, one act plays and two sketches by PANZ members,’’ he said. For many years New Zealand most renowned playwright Roger Hall was patron, but he stepped down two years ago and John Dunmore accepted the position. ‘‘We don’t usually

announce the number of entrants in any competition (but the number for this was around 40). This is a very large number for a full-sized play competition. In addition, the entry criteria is quite strict and disallows plays that have been performed,’’ he said. Mr Harris said this was to ensure the anonymity of the entries. However, it does mean that a play virtually has to be specially written for the competition which is a

big undertaking. ‘‘As this is an organisation aimed at promoting New Zealand playwrights we are looking at ways we can tempt some of our more experienced and published authors to advise, mentor and encourage new writers,’’ Mr Harris said. ■ Poppy Day will be premiering at the Levin Performing Arts Society throughout April 2014, to mark Anzac Day.

Library stalwart retires By FRANKIE WEBB Shannon Library has lost a lot recently. Hours have been cut, but that’s not the biggest loss. The face of Shannon Library, Jenny Forman, has retired. Jenny started work for Horowhenua District Council as a fill-in part-time library assistant and office clerk, becoming permanent 12 hours a week in 1991. As a mother of six, life was always busy for Jenny and her husband Kevin, fiercely loyal churchgoers both involved themselves in all segments of the Shannon community. Involved with Foodbank, advising at the Shannon Family Budget Service and delivering Meals on Wheels while carrying on her library work, life was never dull. In 1998 Jenny’s position was no more and she was offered redundancy. The newly established Horowhenua Library Trust wasn’t about to let her go and offered her a contract, the following year she was appointed Shannon Librarian. At the time it was noted how ‘‘thankful the trust was that

LVN190913SPLjenny

BIG LOSS: Jenny Forman, JP, farewelled Horowhenua Libraries but lucky for Horowhenua has no plans to farewell the district she has contributed so much to. PICTURE: HOROWHENUA LIBRARIES

Jenny chose to bring over her considerable skill and knowledge of both council services and the Shannon community to the Library Trust’’.

In 2009 Kevin lost his battle with ill health. The loss was huge to both the Forman family and the Shannon community. Jenny took a little time off but was soon back with the Horowhenua libraries. She took charge of the services to seniors, working out of Levin library, but still had one day a week in Shannon library. As a Justice of the Peace, she made sure she was available and accessible to the Shannon community. She had such a following of locals that some would come to the library, leaving again if Jenny wasn’t there. ‘‘With the opening of Te Takere she embraced a busy customer service role-out on the library floor. Jenny has a number of grandchildren in Shannon, with her retirement from Horowhenua Libraries she will be able to continue her support and involvement in their lives, and others in the community,’’ manager of programmes and services for Horowhenua Libraries, Barbara Lucas said. ‘‘We have been truly graced with her presence in our Horowhenua Libraries for the last 25 years.’’

Drivers sought Police are appealing to the public for help in tracing the movements of a 24-year-old man charged with the murder of Edward Tahakura, whose body was found on Otaki Beach last week. ‘‘While the investigation has been progressing positively, inquires have led us to believe the 24-year-old has hitchhiked on Thursday September 12 from the Otaki area to Wellington, and then from here has made his way up to Tokoroa,’’ officer in charge of the investigation, Detective Senior Sergeant Craig Sheridan said. ‘‘He has been hitchhiking in the Otaki area and has been given a ride from Te Horo in the early hours of the morning on the Thursday (September 12).’’ Inquiries have revealed the man was picked up by a red truck carrying fruit from Te Horo and transported through to the Wellington Ferry Terminal. Police understand at about 6am that same morning he left the terminal and began hitchhiking north up the Ngauranga Gorge. ‘‘He was given a ride from here in a white truck or ute to Paraparaumu, before catching a ride to Otaki in a silver car. He has then caught a ride from Otaki to Palmerston North in an unknown vehicle. From Palmerston North he got a ride in a blue BMW vehicle to Tokoroa. ‘‘We don’t know what he was wearing when he was hitchhiking, however he is described as being of Maori descent, of medium build, approximately 1.8 metres tall with closely shaven black hair. ‘‘It is our understanding that five people have given this man a ride throughout the course of his journey. ‘‘We are very keen to hear from those five people who gave the man a ride and I ask them to contact police as soon as possible,’’ says Mr Sheridan. ■ Anyone that may have seen the man described hitchhiking, or has been one of the five people who have given him a ride is asked to contact Detective Dave Wilson, phone (06) 351-3661.

Property recovered, but more scammers with GRAEME JARVIS Community Constable I thought I would start today by quickly recapping on two of the stories from last week. Police have located the 392 vegetable crates stolen from Kapiti Green last week. They were found neatly stacked in a garage at Foxton, and I am told the householder was hugely surprised when police when police arrived, as she had no idea whatsoever that they were there! The truck stolen at the same time and used to carry off the crates has been recovered and police inquiries are continuing. The plan to update keyholder listings of commercial properties for use by police after-hours is still progressing. I have enlisted the help of the Levin Community Patrol, who will provide the majority of the manpower required to complete this exercise, and they will be well identified by dayglow vests and personalised identification tags. The rollout will begin as soon as practicable, but

hopefully as early as this week. Community patrollers will also help police at major carparks next week in an effort to reduce vehicle related crime. Pamphlets will be left on vehicles left insecure, or where valuables have been left in plain view. I have had yet another telephone scam reported to me, that on the face of it appears to have started simply with a brazen request for money. The phone calls began earlier this year, from a person in India, giving stories of hard times and money to help for education

and other ‘good causes’. Money is transferred via a Western Union deposit form, freely available from post offices. My complainant has been making regular deposits of hundreds of dollars at a time ever since. Sadly, approximately $10,000 has been handed over. Recently however, this story has taken on a more sinister turn. A second person with a cultured English accent has made contact, saying he works for the Fraud Office in the UK. His advice is that on payment of another large sum of money, he could get all the money back that had been paid. Sadly my complainant has been taken in by this caller and handed over her bank account number. I am pleased to report that this has all been stopped, but the fact remains a vast amount of money has been lost. My plea from this incident is aimed at those of you, particularly with elderly parents, perhaps those that are casually looking after their affairs or are perhaps trustees or those with powers of attorney. Please be aware that

particularly the elderly and vulnerable people are the ones most at risk from scammers. If you are able, talk with your family members and check accounts if need be, to see if there are large sums of money being handed over needlessly. Scams seem to be appearing thick and fast at present, and to those among us who are already vulnerable, they become prime targets. I have another on my desk still to be investigated, and I have even received another on my work computer. The email invited me to share in a vast fortune, however it was from someone I had never heard off, representing a company I had never heard of (and probably does not exist), doing work I have no knowledge off, from a country I have never visited, and low and behold, they just wanted me to send my back account details. Yeah right. The golden rules are: Send no money if they have made contact with you over the internet, or you do not know the caller personally. Take care.

Huskies in dash through forest By PETER FRANKLIN In the chill of the early morning, Waitarere Forest was alive with the sound of huskies. At 6am dogs and their owners assembled in the forest ready for a day’s racing. With no snow, the usual sleds were replaced by more functional wheeled vehicles, mainly modified bikes. For the riders it was a fast and furious blast along the trail. For the 20-plus dogs it was time to do what they do best — pull. The forest has become a favourite venue for the Central Territories Siberian Husky Club, which holds an annual open day. Dog sledding is a small sport in New Zealand, although those who do take part do so with bundles of enthusiasm and are always eager to teach new competitors. Huskies are renowned for their high energy levels and sledding is an ideal outlet for that energy. There is a certain thrill that comes with running a dog team, having control and feeling the power the animal exerts. Like other man-dog sports there is a special bond that develops between owner and his or her dog, the reward for a hard day’s exercise is a well deserved drink and a cuddle.

HEADS UP

LVN180913supart

HEADS DOWN: Art students have their heads down completing their external standards workload.

Workshops to boost students, art field trips to inspire them with JEANETTE GILROY Horowhenua College head of arts faculty The art department has been busy as usual this term with much happening after school, at the weekend and in the holidays, as well as during the school day. The students are mostly in folio mode, completing the external standards worth 12 and 14 credits. To help the students cope with this large workload, the teachers are running workshops every Thursday after school from 3pm to 5pm for Year 11, 12 and 13 students in photography, design and painting. We have also planned holiday workshops at school on October 8 and 9 where staff will be at school to work with students. They will have access to the Macs and studio lights and all the facilities in the art rooms. These workshops run from 10am to 4pm (a sleep-in is required). During the term it’s not all hard work, as we have planned a trip to Te Papa to

visit the Impressionists exhibition and then on to the City Gallery to see Shane Cotton’s contemporary paintings. This will be a highlight and we are all looking forward to this trip to see the masters up close. It will be important for students to use these works as artist models to gain the higher grades in the externals this year. Scholarship planning in photography, design and painting is also going ahead at the moment as we have some gifted and talented artists within the department who need ongoing mentoring and support. These students enjoy the one-on-one time with their teachers, Mrs Gilroy and Ms Hirst, who give them ideas and techniques to prepare their scholarship workbooks to the highest standards. We have an outstanding track record with scholarship art and we are looking forward to our students continuing this again this year.

Bay Audiology provides FREE hearing aids

for approved ACC claimants* DIY house repairs, getting the chainsaw out to tackle an old tree, or mowing the lawns every Sunday. Noises that are part of our everyday life take a toll on our hearing.

If you are regularly exposed to loud noises or are over the age of 55, it is important to have your hearing tested to make sure you’re not missing out on some sounds.

Exposure to some sounds for just thirty seconds can cause irreversible hearing damage. If you’re raising your voice to be heard by someone standing nearby, the noise hurts your ears or if you develop buzzing or ringing sounds in your ear – then the noise level you are experiencing is too high.

If you do have a hearing loss that is found to be caused by exposure to noise in the workplace, ACC will provide compensation towards hearing aids. The amount is determined by the level of Noise Induced Hearing Loss. The Ministry of Health also offers a subsidy. Regardless of how much compensation you might receive from ACC, Bay Audiology has a hearing solution that will be 100% free. This means your hearing aid will be at no cost to you.

Don’t let yourself be exposed to dangerous noise levels, take protective action now Prevention is always better than the cure. Taking the following steps can help you avoid Noise Induced Hearing Loss. • • • •

Avoid loud or prolonged noises. Block the noise with a good quality hearing protection. Keep your hearing protection handy. Have regular hearing checks.

LOOKING BACK

Camping and tramping in NZ DAVID

By MICHAEL DALLY and PEARL FORSTER

n September 1887 New Zealand joined an exclusive club. It had just three other members — they were nations who could point with pride to their National Parks. Starting with the United States’ Yellowstone Park in 1872, then Australia’s Royal National Park near Sydney in 1879 the third club member became Canada with their Rocky Mountain Park in 1885. New Zealand’s first National Park, Tongariro, was gifted to the nation by Tuwharetoa Paramount Chief Horonuku Te Heuheu Tukino, and was born in controversy. Chief Te Heuheu was concerned at the rapidly growing number of new arrivals seeking land to settle on. In particular, he foresaw an uncontrolled grab of Tuwharetoa’s three sacred mountains and, while his people agreed to his National Park proposal, a number of his senior advisers still had strong reservations. Their greatest concern was whether visitors would respect the cultural values — especially tapu — that Maori held of the mountains, which would be located within the new park’s 80,000 acres. Tongariro, Ruapehu and Ngarahoe were all regarded with awe and respect,

LVN200913history

THE three sacred mountains of Tongariro National Park — Mount Tongariro with the Blue Lake in the foreground, Mount Ngauruhoe and snow-covered Mount Ruapehu. especially their abilities to ‘‘speak with fire and smoke’’ if disturbed. Back in 1887, no-one could have foreseen that visitor numbers would sometimes peak at over 850,000 annually; visitors all enjoying Tongariro National Park’s camping and tramping, fishing or skiing, whitewater rafting or just simple sightseeing. Those visitors are still coming from all round the world to enjoy Tongariro’s special treasures, often through agencies such as Britain’s Exodus. With more than 75,000 members, the company promotes travel services (sometimes with guides) to exotic locations in 171

countries for ‘‘. . . active, flexible-minded people who enjoy the unusual and the adventurous.’’ While Tongariro doesn’t have tropical rain forests or glimpses of rare wild animals, it does have active volcanoes and warm-water lakes which are just as aweinspiring. A recent innovation is the link to the movie Lord of the Rings and there is also the prospect of a visit to any — or all — of New Zealand’s 12 other National Parks. Visitors to Tongariro often take one of two options on offer from the Department of Conservation, which administers the park; there is the eight-hour Alpine Crossing or the more

challenging Northern Circuit. The latter can take up to four days and involves camping or staying in one of DOC’s huts. The anticipation of having the experience interrupted by belching smoke, ash showers, rocks and mudslides is an exciting ‘‘extra’’ attraction for many. Looking back 126 years to the rationale behind Chief Te Heuheu’s gift, however, throws forward a direct link to present day concerns expressed by many Maori. Although there is now an understanding of the importance and value of the ‘‘co-management’’ policy shared by tangata whenua and DOC — plus the recognition that our National Parks have both a cultural as well as a natural heritage to respect — looming changes to the Resource Management Act have created a new ‘‘unknown’’. While details of the proposed changes are still being debated by our politicians, most New Zealanders are keen to see the unique features of our National Parks protected and preserved. They want to know that our special places will always be there, even if the only contact they have with park’s like Tongariro is the spectacular views of the three peaks from State Highway 1, as they pass along the Desert Road.

Cyclists gear up for annual event By PETER FRANKLIN Over 60 students from around the region took to their bikes on Saturday for the official practice for the 45th running of the Sir Bernard Fergusson cycling teams time trial. The practice day was organised by the Levin Cycling Club, spokeswoman Lisa Horne said they had 60 plus cyclists from Koputaroa and Ohau School, Palmerston North Boys’ and Girls’ High Schools and Palmerston North Intermediate Normal School practicing for the Team Time Trial event. Cyclists from Horowhenua and Waiopehu Colleges and Levin Intermediate, also practiced for the individual events.

The Fergusson time trial started in Levin in 1968, with 12 teams competing along state highway 57, east of Levin, with the race distance of 10 miles (16.1 kilometres). Former Governor General of New Zealand, Sir Bernard Fergusson gave his name to a trophy and when the event started it was only ‘school boys’ who were allowed to enter the teams time trials. Over the years and as the competitor numbers grew, the event was moved to

In 2012 they had over 900 cyclists, and about the same number of coaches and supports at the event. She said they were expecting more riders for the 2013 event. The official day for the next time trial practice is next Friday, September 27 and the race day is Saturday September 28. The cyclists can then compete in a road race on the Sunday, which is held in Feilding, followed by a points race being held on Monday at the Manfeild track.

Koputaroa Road. This year over 160 teams have registered for the team time trial event. Volunteers and locals from the Koputaroa area play a vital part of making the event the success it is. ‘‘We are privileged to work with New Zealand Schools Cycling Association and Sport Manawatu to run a National sporting event that has been going strong in Levin for 45 years.’’ Ms Horne said.

THE man in the know, Robertson Holden International Speedway track manager Bryan Puklowski said there has been a lot of work going on during the off season to make sure the fans get the best seasons racing ever seen at the track.

Speedway ready to roar again By PETER FRANKLIN Everything is in place for another brilliant season of speedway action, according to Robertson Holden International Speedway track manager Bryan Puklowski. ‘‘On the first night of registration we had 100 drivers sign up and that is a really good sign for the season,’’ he said. Mr Puklowski came down to Foxton to catch up with avid stockcar supporter Kevin Gunther and while in town he talked about the season ahead with the Horowhenua Chronicle. He said Horowhenua had a strong stockcar base with an ever increasing number of very good drivers and cars, that compete in Palmerston North and an even stronger fan base that make the 50 kilometre trek to speedway week in and week out. One of the annual feature events that always attract a large field of cars and big crowd is the Robin Pratt stockcar memorial run on the Saturday October 26. December. ‘‘Robin was a very respected Foxton driver and that shows with the number of competitors that turn up every year to win the memorial race,’’ he said. The two big championships for 2013-14 will be the stockcar and teams championships. Mr Puklowski is confident that the Palmerston North speedway will break the record number of entries for the running of the Machinery Specialists New Zealand Stockcar championships. ‘‘In 2003, 173 drivers turned up for the title. Come championship time I would not be surprised to see 200 cars roll into the pits,’’ Mr Puklowski said. The championship will be held over three days, December 27 (practice) qualifying and finals on December

28-29. A week later the track will host the New Zealand stockcar teams championships which is always a big crowd favourite. He said once the season opens on October 12, it will be all on for young and old. For Speedway fans there will be only one place to be Robertson Holden International Speedway Palmerston North.

Subaru Impreza gets X factor Following some hard negotiations with head office in Japan, Subaru New Zealand is adding a new Impreza X variant to its model range, The specially equipped limited production model is priced at $31,990 with a 2.0-litre engine and Subaru’s Lineartronic automatic transmission and Symmetrical All Wheel Drive system. ‘‘With Subaru’s standard Symmetrical All Wheel Drive, the 2.0-litre Boxer engine, technology features and a long list of standard equipment, Impreza X is an excellent value for money package,’’ said Wallis Dumper, the managing director of Subaru of New Zealand. ‘‘We worked hard with Subaru Japan to arrive at a value package that holds true to our brands core strengths so the only way to achieve this with the factory was to accept supply on a limited production basis. ‘‘Basically we have about four production allocations per year and that will present kiwi customers with an opportunity to forward order or secure dealer pre-order stock through 2014.’’ Mechanically the Impreza X is identical to other models in the Impreza range. The 2.0-litre Boxer engine develops 110kW and 196Nm of torque, meets Euro

5 emission standards and with its automatic stop start technology it has an overall fuel consumption of 6.8 litres per 100kms. Safety equipment include seven airbags, Vehicle Dynamics Control and anti-lock brakes, a reversing camera, a five-star ANCAP crash testing rating, ring shaped reinforcing of the body shell and anti intrusion beams in the doors. Dual-zone airconditioning is standard along with a leather covered steering wheel and gear selector. The steering wheel has paddle shifters for manual use of the transmission and controls for the audio system, cruise control and multi-function display screen. The rear seats have a 60:40 split fold function for cargo versatility and there are cup holders front and rear with all four doors have pockets capable of carrying bottles. The sound system is i-Pod, MP3 and WMA compatible with a USB connection and auxiliary jack point. Bluetooth wireless technology includes voice command recognition. A comprehensive trip computer utilises the multi-function display and the remote central locking incorporates the engine immobiliser security system. Power steering, electric windows and

mirrors complete the package. The Impreza X runs on 16-inch alloy wheels and the exterior features front foglights, rear privacy glass, rear

spoiler. The colour choice is Obsidian Black, Pearl White, Ice Silver, Dark Grey, Marine Blue, Camellia Red and Deep Cherry.

The big day is fast approaching for the Horowhenua-Kapiti rugby development squad as they prepare for the competition final against an in-form and confident Wanganui side. Coach Chris Wilton said the team had put in an awesome effort to get into the finals. ‘‘One thing I have always stressed to the representative teams I’ve coached is that when you put the (HK) jersey on you are playing for pride, pride in where you come from, pride in the union you belong to, and pride in yourself and teammates,’’ he said. The team faced Wanganui a month ago and lost 50-18. Wilton said that hurt but since then the squad as a whole had upped their game and, in doing so, defeated Wairarapa and Wellington Maori. He said defence was going to be a big part of their game on Saturday. ‘‘Wanganui have a very fast backline, we have to get possession and hang on to it,’’ Wilton said. Wilton said there was no question that it was going to be a very physical game, however he was confident that whatever Wanganui throw at them they could return with interest. While the coaches have done their job, team captain Scott Cameron has done a great job on the field. ‘‘The last time I coached Scotty we won the Under 18 Hurricanes competition. I’m confident he can lead the boys to victory on Saturday.’’ Cameron said the team know what they had to do, and it came down to doing the basics right. ‘‘We have to make the first tackles count if you give Wanganui space they will score,’’ he said. He had 100 per cent confidence in the team’s attack, but the big emphasis had to be on defence. Wilton said everyone in the squad was focused on re writing the history books, to be the first Horowhenua-Kapiti rugby development side to win this competition. ‘‘We may be the underdogs, and Wanganui may be a little over confident after our last meeting, but don’t count us out. We have fought hard to be in the final and we mean to hold the shield at the end of the game,’’ he said. The game kicks off at 12.30pm at Horowhenua Community Trust Domain in Levin.

Top bowlers shine in triples The mixed triples at the Levin RSA Bowling Club, sponsored by Colling and Gray, were a hard-fought bowls challenge, with the odd shower of rain not helping. The results were close, with top bowlers showing their experience on the day. Bob Harwood, Dianne Spicer and Roy James were the winners with 3 wins, 21 ends and 41 points followed by Ken Cheyne, Murray Pollack and Errol Skelton with 3 wins, 20 ends and 47 points. Piki Bevan, Don Beaton and Jim Lewis were third with 3 wins, 19 ends and 37 points. The Tiger Turf was filled to capacity for the triples, sponsored by Steeds Pharmacy. The strong wind tested most players and proved frustrating to them all, and scoring was difficult with no team with four wins. Jim Smillie, Len Morrel and Ron Bold were first with 3 wins, 20 ends and 32 points followed by Heather Pratt, Michael Heather and Kahu Ricketts with 3 wins, 17 ends and 36 points. Woody Woodmass, Lynette Metcalfe and Peter McConkey were third with 3 wins, 17 ends and 35 points. The club congratulates Mata Staples, who was selected for the Kapiti junior women’s team and Dorothy Brazendale, who will play in the senior women’s team. Members are asked to check the draw in the clubrooms for the balloted teams for Saturday.

Farrah Hot Dog Wraps

Levin

Ingredients (Makes 6) 6 Farrah Fire Roasted Pepper Wraps

Method: 1. Place each wrap on a chopping board, trim 2cm from the left and right sides to form a straight edge*

6 frankfurters

2. Sprinkle ¼ cup of the grated cheese over each wrap. Place a frankfurter on the bottom edge of the wrap and a thin line of onion on top.

¼ small onion, thinly sliced 1 ½ cups Pams mozzarella cheese, grated Pams vegetable oil

3. Tightly roll up the wrap and set aside with the end flap facing down. 4. Heat 1 Tbsp of oil in a frying pan. Add the hot dog wrap with the flap facing down and gently fry each side for 5 minutes on a medium heat, turning when each side is crispy and golden. * Tip: use the leftover wrap edges to make wrap chips.

Try with a: Lindauer Classic Rosé Ripe intense strawberry characters, full textured complexity with lovely freshness without being overt. Match a glass with hors d’ouvres, a country pâté or cold smoked salmon.
