Police make robbery arrests A knifepoint robbery in Levin on Tuesday has resulted in an 18-year-old Levin man being remanded in custody while a 19-year-old, also charged in relation to the incident, has been released on bail with a 24 hour curfew.

Senior Sergeant Sarn Paroli of Levin Police said he was

saddened by the incident but very pleased with his staffs reaction and apprehending two men within 15 minutes of the alleged robbery taking place.

One of the alleged victims received a wound to his arm during what Mr Paroli said was an unusual crime, one that he had not seen happen in the

district for quite a number years.

On Tuesday at about 9.45pm a man and a woman were sitting in a car outside Te Takere where they were utilising a wifi connection from the library with a laptop.

Police allege that the car was approached by the 18 and 19-yearold, one armed with a knife, who

demanded the laptop before dragging both occupants out of the car. During a struggle the male victim received a cut to the arm.

The female was shaken by the experience but otherwise unhurt.

Police allege the 18 year-old and 19 year-old have then got into the victims’ car and driven north

on State Highway 1.

The victims have made a hasty 111 call, local police were notified and after a short pursuit the car was stopped just south of the Whirokino bridge, with the two men taken into custody.

They appeared the Levin District Court on Wednesday charged with aggravated robbery.

Fears next accident at sharp corner will be fatal

By PETER FRANKLIN There are fears that sooner rather than later someone is going to get killed on a sharp corner on Roslyn Road, Levin.

Charm Holden lives with her parents on a property adjacent the corner that in the past 11 years has seen 12 cars go over the bank, crashing through their fence.

Miss Holden said her parents, Wayne and Bronwyn Holden, were fearful that someone was going to be killed if something was not done to make the corner safer.

Miss Holden said, while some of the crashes had probably been the result of silly driving and speed, the majority of the crashes were more likely caused by the sharpness of the corner and poor lighting.

Mr Holden has made a number of suggestions to council, all of which have not been acted on.

Suggested safety measures include ‘car-eyes’ in the road surface, lights on one of the two powerpoles right on the corner,

ANOTHER victim of a deadly corner, poor visibility on wet night, no street lighting and a sharp corner. a crash barrier and a speed hump before the corner.

“So what do we have to do,

wait till someone dies before the issue is addressed,” Miss Holden said.

The latest crash happened at night, during a heavy downpour. The 18-year-old

woman driver was not speeding, however her car went too far to the left and lost control, leaving the road and going down the bank. Her car crashed through the Holden’s fence and then rolled on to its roof.

“Luckily she wasn’t hurt but we called the ambulance anyway, they (ambulance staff) checked her over and let her go home,” Miss Holden said.

The Holdens use the front paddock for their sheep to graze, but every time there is a crash their fence comes down and they have to muster the sheep into another paddock so they do not stray on to the road and cause another accident.

The family are urging Horowhenua District Council to act.

Council roading manager Kevin Peel said council were looking into the corner and would be looking at introducing measures to increase the safety.

He said nothing had been done due to the possibility of Roslyn Road becoming a heavy traffic bypass but they will be addressing the issue.

If you are aged under 65 and not in KiwiSaver you are missing out on free money. Let me explain.

When you join KiwiSaver the Government will contribute $1000 to your account. Free! And for every dollar you contribute the Government contributes 50c with a maximum of $521 per year. Free. And your employer is required to contribute 3 per cent of your salary or wages to your account. Free! Well not quite free, as tax is deducted from this.

If you earn less than $48,000 pa this means your employer contribution is around 2.5 per cent net or around 2 per cent net if you earn between $48,000 and

$70,000.

I am in my seventh year of KiwiSaver membership and worked out that of the current balance I have contributed only 44 per cent.

The Government and my employer have contributed 37 per cent.

That’s free money!

Interest, dividends and the growth in share prices has contributed the remaining 19 per cent. And this goes into your account that you own and control. Not the government. You can take money out of the account when you reach the age of

entitlement for National Superannuation, currently 65. You decide how your account is to be invested; aggressively with a lot is shares or defensively with most in cash and fixed interest or any shade in between.

Return to Vietnam stirs mixed feelings By

FRANKIE WEBB frankie.webb@chronicle.co.nz Horowhenua College student Long Van Nguyen found a school visit to Vietnam bittersweet.

“My family left Vietnam to live in New Zealand two years ago,” he said.

“I have opportunities in New Zealand but I miss Vietnam, I want to live in both countries.”

In 2013, Long and his family hosted a student from Nguyen Tat Thanh School.

Her family reciprocated when Long went to Vietnam as part of a Horowhenua College student delegation. Long enjoyed the reunion, but undoubtedly the highlight of his ‘home’ visit was staying two days in his former family home with his Grandmother.

“Our house hadn’t changed at all but I met up with friends from my (former) school,” Long said. “It has only been two years but they

have totally changed, they have grown up so much.”

Hanoi hadn’t changed but Long saw it through new eyes. “Hanoi is very busy and noisy, I notice that now that I am living in New Zealand where it is so quiet.”

Long enjoyed local cuisine, something he misses since moving to New Zealand.

“The food is so good, there are a lot of things we can’t get in New Zealand that I miss,” he said.

Being the only male on the trip presented some challenges but the nine girls who completed the Horowhenua student delegation appreciated having an interpreter in the group. While they had the challenges of communication and becoming accustomed to the traditional food, the biggest issue for Long was bidding farewell to his friends and relations.

VIETNAM’S CAPITAL HANOI is the capital of Vietnam and the country's second largest city.

It lies on the right bank of the Red River, 1760km north of Ho Chi Minh City.

Hanoi served as the capital of French Indochina from 1902 to 1954. From 1954 to 1976, it was the capital of North Vietnam, and it became the capital of a reunified Vietnam in 1976, after the Vietnam War. Hanoi officially marked 1000 years since its establishment in October 2010.

The war left Vietnam devastated, with the total death toll standing at between 800,000 and 3.1 million.

Novice bird man already among competition high-flyers

By TANYA WOOD Birds of a feather are judged together.

Chirps, tweets and twitters from budgies, canaries, finches and foreign hook beaks (including parrots) made for a noisy weekend at the 39th annual Levin Bird Show last month.

More than 30 exhibitors from around the lower North Island showed a total of 520 birds at the Memorial Hall, packed with row after row of cages.

Levin’s only winner was Graham Pilling, who took the Albert Spaak Memorial for Best Lizard Canary.

Graham has been breeding lizard and red factor canaries for just two years, as a retirement hobby.

In his first year showing ‘Reds’, he “cleaned up” in a couple of regional shows.

“I was a novice breeder but just blew away all the champions. Even the champions were asking me how I fed them.”

This year, again in his first year showing them, it’s his champion lizard which has taken the top prize for its type.

Graham said it all comes down to starting with quality

LIZARD CANARY The lizard canary is one of the oldest canary breeds, believed to have arisen as a mutation from canaries in France during the early 1700s.

By the mid-1940s, only about 40 of these canaries existed in Europe due to the ravages of two world wars and disease epidemics.

A closely monitored breeding programme in Great Britain brought the bird back from the brink of extinction, and today lizard canaries are one of the most popular canaries, bred specifically for the “spangled effect” of its feathers — black crescent-shaped spots running down its back and breast, which resemble the scales of a lizard.

There are four base colours of lizard canaries — gold, silver, blue and red – and they are also characterised by a ‘cap’ — a single circular pattern of feathers on top of the head, ideally oval.

For exhibition purposes, the legs, tail, wings and beak should be as dark as possible, spangles regular, the oval cap distinct, clear and neat, and the feathers tight and silky.

LIZARD canary breeder Graham Pilling from the Levin Bird Club won the Albert Spaak Memorial for Best Lizard Canary at the club’s annual bird show last month.

“A lot of people breed quantity to get quality. I started off with quality so I don’t need to carry a lot of birds.”

He has about 30 birds in total in his aviaries.

His father kept a large aviary and, as a child and teenager, it

was Graham’s job to clean out the aviary and feed the birds. He bought his first pair of red factors two years ago and joined the Levin Bird Club at the same time.

“Canaries are beautiful singers. On a nice sunny day, I’ll be sitting outside and I can

hear them singing away, it’s quite spectacular to listen to and to see them.”

He said budgie owners were known to use toothbrushes and hair driers to groom feathers before a show, but all he had to do was give his birds a bath two days before a show. “Canaries like to have regular baths and that gives them plenty of time to preen their feathers.”

Graham estimates his birds eat their way through between 70 and 100 kilos of seed a year.

“The bird club gets a discount for buying bird seed in bulk, nearly half the price in pet shops, so it doesn’t cost as much as it could.”

Levin Bird Club show manager Merv Johnson said the club was great for anyone who keeps birds.

“You don’t have to be a breeder, just have a love of birds.

“We’re a friendly bunch of bird fanciers and our more experienced members are always happy to help new members and novice breeders with advice.”

The club has about 45 members and is always looking for new and younger people to join, he said.

Social services to see changes Interesting times are ahead for Horowhenua Family Violence Intervention Programme, which has run programmes for men and women, aimed at reducing family violence, building relationship skills and positive empowerment in the middle of the many interesting and exciting changes happening in the social service sector.

Chairwoman of HFVIP Diana McIntyre, said the organisation has delivered Men’s Programmes, approved by the Ministry of Justice, for more than 18 years. However due to recent amendments to the legislation that oversees these programmes there will be some significant changes to the programme format delivery as well as the assessment process

starting on Wednesday October 1.

The changes will also apply to programmes for protected persons (usually women) and for children, with more focus on personal outcomes. These changes recognise the intergenerational aspect of family violence.

“Many of the key concepts and ideas are the same in the new environment but it is exciting to be looking at new ways of delivering the programmes.

“The agency has been investigating working more closely with other social service organisations, and is interested in the potential impacts of the newly announced Children’s Team in the area,” Ms McIntyre, said.

To enhance their capacity, HFVIP is currently recruiting new staff for both part-time and full-time positions.

HFVIP is also looking for new members to join the Management Committee to work alongside existing members in navigating these developments and upcoming challenges.

Ms McIntyre said people with an understanding of family violence, or not-for-profit governance are encouraged to contact hfvip@clear.net.nz for more information, and are invited to come to the Annual General Meeting being held on Monday July 7, at Jack Allen Community House, 21 Durham St, Levin, the meeting will start at 7pm.

Alcohol fuels domestic violence

By PETER FRANKLIN Assault on a child by an 18-year-old Levin man is a sad feature in the family violence statistics over the past two weeks in Horowhenua.

Plus a 15-year-old girl has been referred to police youth aid service after she allegedly assaulted another family member.

In the past two weeks police have attended 47 complaints of family violence of which over half have been attributed to alcohol abuse.

Horowhneua police Family Violence coordinator Sergeant Martin Bull said said this was a dismal reflection on the district.

Mr Bull said abuse of any kind could not be condoned, using alcohol

or financial worries as an excuse “just didn’t cut it”.

He said a person knew when they needed help, whether it be for drug or alcohol issues, or anger management.

“There are a lot of organisations out in the community set up to help people,” he said.

The situation does not have to turn violent.

Mr Bull said, while the numbers of incidents being reported continued to be high, this was, in one respect, seen a positive thing.

“It means that people are not allowing the abuse to continue and are speaking out, and that is a good thing,” he said.

The following have been dealt with over the past week.

An 18-year-old was arrested and charged with

assault on a child. A 15-year-old girl was arrested and referred to police youth aid service for assault, a 20-year-old man was arrested and charged with common.

A 46-year-old man was arrested and charged with breach of a protection order, a 47-year-old man was arrested and charged with common assault.

A 36-year-old man was arrested for threatening, a 33-year-old man was arrested and charged with breach of a protection order, a 20-year-old man was arrested and charged with common assault and dangerous driving, an 16-year-old man was arrested and charged with male assaults female and an 18-year-old man was arrested and charged with male assaults female and intentional damage.

Police across both the Wellington and Central Police Districts combined to end a crime spree that began in Wellington.

The story began at about 5am last Friday morning when an 18-year-old, from Porirua, broke into and stole a Subara WRX motor car valued at $7000 from Ngaio in Wellington.

At about 5pm later in the day he stole petrol at Johnsonville and local police were alerted.

Patrol cars from Porirua located the vehicle and pursued the car along State Highway One to the Raumati-Paraparaumu area where the vehicle was lost.

Not long after a police patrol spotted the stolen car at Waikanae, when it was again pursued north along State Highway 1 at high speed. Police abandoned the pursuit because of the high speeds involved and the car was not sighted again until it was seen in Levin. By this time a comprehensive plan had been put in place, to prevent the vehicle attempting to leave the district.

Patrol cars just north of Foxton and again at

Himitangi were deployed with road spikes and, without the driver’s knowledge, a patrol car followed at a distance from Levin to Foxton.

An attempt to stop the vehicle on the northern outskirts of Foxton led to the driver fleeing again, however road spikes were deployed soon after, deflating three tyres.

The driver got out of the car and, while a dog handler from Palmerston North arrived, a large area was cordoned by police staff. The handler searched for an hour, however the track was eventually lost.

Just after midnight, the person was found back on SH1, close to where the stolen car had been abandoned.

He was attempting to

make his way back to Wellington, but was arrested. He has been remanded in custody and was to appear back in the Levin district court on Wednesday.

As it turned out, the young man had been out of prison for just 10 days. He was trying to drive to Auckland, because he said he had never been there.

During the interview he admitted driving at speeds of up to 200km/h.

He now faces charges of unlawfully taking a motor car, theft, disqualified driving, dangerous driving and failing to stop for a patrol car.

Local police also consulted the Immigration Department on Saturday night after details given by a man did not ring true.

After being arrested for Breaching the Liquor Ban, he admitted to being an overstayer. He was deported back to Tonga on Monday.

Police combine to assist with Immigration about four to six times per year when they have information that there is likelihood of over stayers living and working in the district.

One such raid last year netted four overstayers working in just one factory.

Another Sandwich Experienced musicians and songwriters Andrew London and Steve McDonald are on stage in Te Takere for their repeat performance on Saturday July 12.

Drawing on Scottish history and the migration to Canada, Australia and New Zealand, Steve McDonald’s music inspires patriotic nostalgia in anyone of Caledonian descent.

With more than three million CD sales in the United States alone, he can be regarded as a national treasure.

He began taking piano lessons at the age of five but soon became interested in pop and rock music, joining his first band when he was 12 to play the drums because it was the only slot open.

Reverting to keyboards, he has been a member of many bands and groups ever since, including Dizzy Limit and Human Instinct in the 1960s and 70s.

Andrew London contributes guitar and bouzouki, as well as also his own satirical and humorous songs.

He is involved in many musical collaborations, in particular the Andrew London Trio, which is the main vehicle for his satirical and whimsical songs.

Together they offer a wide-angled and often irreverent approach to

SCHOOL LIFE

Expo focuses on diabetes Room 9 at Levin Intermediate put on an expo on Tuesday after doing a class exercise on diabetes.

During the project, it was found that over 50 per cent of the students had a family member or knew someone who suffered from the disease.

Ms Murphy said she was really pleased with the way her class worked on the project.

When it was suggested they take the project out into the public arena, she asked how.

“One of my students suggested having an expo, and Te Takere were approached and agreed,” she said.

The expo was on for one day and drew a lot of positive comments from the public, who stopped to look at the students’ work.

WELL AWARE: Suzanne Murphy and her class do their bit for diabetes awareness.

Students immerse themselves in Maori culture

By PETER FRANKLIN A marae visit has been a great learning exercise for students from Levin School.

During the visit the students were able to ask questions and experience the cultural meaning of marae protocols.

Teacher Paulianne Theuma said the visit was both informative and a fantastic experience for the children.

Horowhenua College students and staff assisted greatly with the visit and Chris Wilton explained, in great detail, the spiritual meaning behind the carvings in the marae.

Ms Theuma said the important thing was the sharing of cultural identities.

“New Zealand is made up of so many

The children came away from the visit with a better understanding of Maori culture.

Friday, July 4, 2014

WHAT’S IN THE STARS FOR YOU NEXT WEEK ARIES: This is a week that will define your expectations for the coming decade, with a need to commit to cementing the basic structures of your life.

TAURUS: With income and work expectations and the power to move mountains if you have to, it’s time to put everything you have into everything you do.

GEMINI: With lucky Jupiter returning to

your communication sector next week there is a need to become more aware of your needs, as you wait for help to arrive.

CANCER: Pay attention to home and family matters and especially to your emotional responses to them, with a chance to establish what you're fighting for.

LEO: You have reached an important week for communication, one where some

real opportunities could be lost if you play it too safe.

VIRGO: This is a week for remaining on your toes professionally and financially, while trusting a nose for money while keeping your head in the game.

LIBRA: Take a look at whether you’ve developed tunnel vision, with stepping back and looking at the big picture likely to make a world of difference.

SCORPIO: You have an intuitive read on things, with a mix of hindsight and foresight to draw on as the lines between the past and future start to blur.

SAGITTARIUS: While there is no doubt that this is an important week for friendship and relationship building, it’s also a chance to invest in the future.

CAPRICORN: Move into the week with your finger on the pulse and your ear

to the ground, with your passions and fighting spirit needing to be channelled.

AQUARIUS: This is a week for making matters of the heart a priority even if it’s something that you're only able to commit to in spirit, without a chance to walk the talk.

PISCES: With the money gods due to shift their focus back onto income matters, take the time to get a handle on financial and money matters as a whole.

Transport service to stick with taxis

By TANYA WOOD The Total Mobility scheme will not be opened up to include private hire vehicles.

Horizons Regional Council, which organises and part funds the scheme, narrowly voted against a motion citing concerns around affordability for council and the potential for fraud as private hire providers did not run meters, which reduced council’s ability to audit properly.

This was despite a submission made by Horowhenua Mayor Brendan Duffy on behalf of the Disability Forum and Older People’s Network to open up the service. He said the current service did not provide what is needed by some people.

“A taxi takes you from A to B, the driver will take your groceries in but won’t walk around the supermarket with you, wait outside while you go in and get your prescription, or make a cup of tea for you at home. It’s about using the existing budget to provide a new opportunity with a greater level of service for an obvious need in our community. Horizons clearly do not understand or appreciate that and have not supported it, and for that we are very disappointed.”

Levin taxi company, Taxis Direct, currently provides the Total Mobility service in Horowhenua.

Levin resident Del Podmore can remember the name of every taxi driver since she started using the Total Mobility scheme back in 1993.

One of the drivers, who has been picking her up for the past

two years, “probably knows me inside and out”, she said.

Ms Podmore has had cerebral palsy from birth and, though she can walk a little, the mobility taxi service makes life a lot easier.

“It’s not like I can run to town and back. I use the taxi service every Tuesday and once a month on Thursdays for shopping and getting to appointments. I can’t remember a time I couldn’t get a taxi when I needed it.”

She said all the drivers she’s had were nice and friendly, and would go the extra mile if they could.

“There has been the odd time when I’ve got one of them to change a lightbulb for me.”

Eleanor Gully, president of Contact Inc which regularly assesses people for the scheme, said it was a fantastic service but difficult to say if the decision to exclude private hire cars was wrong.

“I suppose it’s about people having choices but I’ve not heard any complaints about people unable to get a taxi when they needed it.”

She said it could be “feast or famine” with people wanting assessments.

“One week it can be just two and then another week we’re seeing eight people.”

The age and disabilities vary but the majority of people are aged over 60, she said. “We see many older people who are housebound. They don’t want to rely on friends and family, they want to be independent in the most part. We decline very few people.”

She said it was possible many more people may be unaware of

the scheme or did not think they would qualify.

Taxis Direct Levin manager Cindy Heihei said the Horizons vote was a good outcome for them.

“We can [easily] cope with the work and a lot of what they were asking, we already do for free, such as taking people’s groceries into the home and walking people into their appointments.

A taxi service has a lot more overheads than a private hire does and we just want to be on an even playing field.”

The taxi firm takes more than 100 calls a week from people needing to use the service,

generally for shopping, appointments, church and socialising, mostly within Levin.

Taxis Direct Levin employ 13 drivers and has three mobility vans with hoists.

The Total Mobility discount provides for up to a maximum of $10. Ms Heihei confirmed the majority of rides within Levin were under $10 (the firm charges by the kilometre). There was no extra charge for using the mobility hoist for scheme users.

Ms Heihei said they did have a driver working in Foxton about two years ago. “We gave it a good go for almost three years but the service wasn’t used enough. The

The Total Mobility scheme was set up in the early 1980s, developed out of a Telethon initiative.

The scheme is funded in partnership between Horizons Regional Council (40 per cent) and New Zealand Transport Agency (60 per cent). The scheme is designed to make it easier for people with disabilities to get around the region, by providing discounted taxi rates for people whose ability to use public transport is impaired.

It also assists taxi companies with funding to install wheelchair hoists.

Current Total Mobility users in Levin are 1297 and 63 in Foxton.

There is no longer a taxi service in Foxton and Foxton Beach, however residents can still use their vouchers in neighbouring towns.

All new users of the scheme need to be assessed first for eligibility. This can be arranged by phoning one of the following organisations: Contact Inc, Jack Allen Community House – Ph (06) 368-1195.

Arthritis Support Group – Ph (06) 368-1114.

Stroke Foundation – (06) 368-9933 Idea Services – Ph (06) 368-7313.

Parkinson’s Society – Ph (04) 904-4240.

driver might not get any work some days, it just wasn’t economical for us.”

Horizons Regional Council chairman Bruce Gordon said the current Total Mobility Scheme model, allowing only approved taxi organisations, was the most efficient course of action at this stage pending a review of the Public Transport Plan in 12 months’ time.

Horowhenua club to fore at home event Horowhenua Taekwon-Do School hosted the Central Districts Taekwon-Do Championships for the second year in succession.

Thirty of the club’s students took part in this annual event and all competed well, gaining a second placing on the overall club standings.

Two Horowhenua students won the best overall trophies.

Alli Veerbeek won the top red belt award, winning three individual gold medals and a silver along the way. Fellow club member Tongsen Su took the best overall Yellow belt award, winning a gold and silver medal.

The club also won many pattern, sparring, power and special technique divisions with an impressive medal haul.

The club also had 10 of its members involved with officiating the event.

Competitors came from Hastings, Napier, Waikanae, Wanganui, Feilding, Palmerston North and of course Levin.

A total of 124 competitors that took part in 70 events which consisted of patterns, sparring, power, special technique, team patterns and prearranged sparring.

Gold medals were won by Veerbeek, Johnny and Brenda Snow, Connor Mitchell, Pip Hakaraia, Gabrielle Read, Levi Tate all in their respective pattern divisions.

In sparring, Veerbeek, Hala Graham, Sheldon Hakaraia all won gold.

Veerbeek won gold in power as did Hala Graham and Katrina

HOROWHENUA Taekwon-Do Club members played host to the Central Districts Championship recently.

Laracy while Johnny Snow won gold in special technique.

The club entered two pattern teams with the team of Veerbeek, Connor Mitchell, Janae Whakarau, Wiremu Temperton-Royal and Graham taking the gold.

Horowhenua club instructor Andrew Salton said it was a great day for all involved.

Horowhenua were 11 points behind the winning club from Palmerston North and 21 points ahead of the third-placed team also from Palmerston North.

“We had a lot of new students enter the tournament this year and they all produced some great results, we had no black belts compete this year and I believe that is where we lost a lot

of points.

“The winning club from Palmerston North dominated the black belt divisions winning gold silver and bronze in many of the divisions,” Mr Salton said.

“Everyone enjoyed the event and I have had positive comments about how well it was organised and how well it ran.

“The club is now focusing on

the Oceania championships taking place in Rarotonga, where there will be 11 club members competing.” he said.

The nationals will be the next major event on the calendar and we have just had four club members, Fiona Read, Johnny and Brenda Snow along with Alli Veerbeek test for their 1st degree black belt.

ON THE GO

Get inline for sports fun in Horowhenua with KATHY McMILLAN Everything you need to know about aquatics, sport, events and recreation in the Horowhenua.

Looking for a sport or event, to take part in? Then you have come to the right place. Check out this column each month to find out everything that is going on in sport and recreation in the Horowhenua.

From a club or community group and have an event or programme coming up? Let us know, and we can help promote it.

Over the past couple of weeks there has been plenty of sport to watch on the telly; the All Blacks, the Football World Cup and, hitting our screens soon, the Commonwealth Games. I love watching sport, not only is it amazing to watch extremely talented people, it is also incredible to see how sport can bring so much happiness to people’s lives and communities.

So make sure you check out all of these international sporting moments on the telly, but don't forget to get out and take part in sport too. There is lots going on.

■ Petanque: It may not be featuring at the Commonwealth Games but it is a game for all ages and we are lucky to have a very strong club here in Levin, so why not have a go. Petanque happens at Western Park each week on Monday, Thursday and Saturday at 1pm. The Horowhenua Petanque Club provides all the gear you need

and they even kindly supply a hot drink at the end of the game, all they ask for in return is a gold coin donation. So why not give it a go. For more information phone Carleen on (06) 368-0312 or Jean on (06) 368-9964 ■ Inline Hockey. We have a very exciting new inline hockey club playing under the name of Levin Thunder. The current focus of the club is to provide training and playing opportunities for children under 12. They are inviting all children to come and have a go at inline hockey.

Training sessions happen on Wednesdays from 5pm at the Levin Events Centre. The first session is free to let you decide whether you like it or not. All gear is supplied including skates.

No skating or hockey experience is necessary, as you will learn these skills during the

MEMBERS of the Levin Thunder inline hockey club. sessions. So mark Wednesday night on the calendar and pop down to give inline hockey a go.

to change the world. It has the power to inspire. It has the power to unite people in a way that little else does. It speaks to youth in a language they understand. Sport can create hope where once there was only despair. It is more powerful than government in

breaking down racial barriers.”

— Nelson Mandela ■ Kathy McMillan is part of the Aquatics Horowhenua team promoting sport and active recreation opportunities. For more information about events head to aquatics.horowhenua.govt.nz

Aquatic centre wants kids to swim Levin Aquatic Centre is running a Splash For No Cash promotion.

All Horowhenua children swim free for an entire term as long as their parents or caregivers sign up and pay in full for swimming lessons in Term 3.

Some schools can no longer afford to maintain pools and teach kids how to swim. “Drowning is consistently the third highest cause of unintentional death in New Zealand,” said Aquatics Horowhenua Programmes and events supervisor Rachael Miller.

“Knowing the basics will enhance your child’s experience in learning to swim confidently and competently.”

Swimming lessons are not a luxury.

“They are a necessity if parents want their youngsters to be safe at the beach, in local rivers or pools,” Ms Miller said.

Lessons start on Monday July 21 and run for nine weeks, there is a $10 incentive discount if lessons are paid for before the end of week one and The Splash for no Cash promotion allows children to visit the pool and swim as much as they like during Term 3 providing all lessons are paid for in full.

■ For a list of fees, visit www.aquatics.horowhenua.govt.nz Note: There will be no Saturday classes on August 23 due to staff training. Make up will take place Saturday September 27.

Athletic Premiers refuse to be denied

By TANYA WOOD Levin Athletic Rugby Club had something to celebrate on Saturday with both Premier and Senior Reserve teams scoring wins over Levin College Old Boys.

In a highly-charged atmosphere at Levin Domain, the Premier teams gave their supporters a truly nailbiting game as they battled to stake their claim on fourth place, in the points table, and a chance to play in the semifinals.

During the first half, the two teams were try-for-try. LCOB scored two tries, one conversion and one penalty, while Athletic, with two players in the sinbin at one time, managed to score two tries, both converted, and one penalty. First-five Matt Easton was given time out for a professional foul and No 8 Louie Tovo for a questionable tackle.

Starting the second half, with Athletic leading 17-15, LCOB missed two penalty kicks but it was third time the charm with the next kick clearing the bar to give LCOB a one-point lead.

That lead was shortlived as Athletic struck back with two penalties of their own to nudge ahead, 23-18. It was game on as a try and conversion by Athletic in the last 15 minutes took the score to 30-18.

Undeterred, LCOB pushed hard and, after two attempts, got the ball over the tryline.

However, Athletic had done enough to hold their lead, with the final score 30-23.

Athletic coach Peter Hirini said every win was an epic win.

“We managed to hold on to the ball for longer phases of play and turned pressure into points.

LVN020714TWrugbyprem4

PREMIER Athletic winger Sani Ulu-Kini pushes past Levin College Old Boy first-five Stewart McGregor, with Athletic players open side flanker Peter Antonio, far left, and fullback Simon Black in support.

Unlike previous games, we were able to sustain that pressure for 80 minutes rather than dropping off in the last 20.”

He said they would have a fully fit squad going into their next game against Levin Wanderers.

“We need to hold on to our fourth and we’ve got Old Boys still breathing down our necks.”

LCOB manager Dean Thomas said his team had a good start to the match. “We raced out but let Athletic score a couple of times and failed to capitalise when they

had two players sinbinned. To give them their credit they came back at us, which teams tend to do when they’re down players.”

He said, on the whole, it was a good game. “I felt we had the superior scrum but it just seemed we went off the boil a little. In the last quarter of the game though, the boys pulled finger and pushed more which got us that last try.”

In fifth place with two games left to play, against Shannon (leading the competition) and Paraparaumu (defending

champions), Thomas said LCOB had to beat both teams convincingly. “In this grade any team can win on the day. We’ve beaten both these teams before and there’s no reason why we can’t do it again.”

In the Senior Reserves match, played at Levin Domain, it was a sweet moment for Athletic as they savoured their first victory this season.

Athletic got the jump on Levin College Old Boys early, leading 12-8 at halftime, having notched

up two tries and a conversion.

In a close run second half, two more tries, both converted, put the final score at 26-23.

Athletic tryscorers were forward Abraham Jackson in the forwards, winger Cameron Halbert and No 8 Sebastian Jackson, who also kicked the three conversions.

Athletic manager Gerald de Castro said the boys won in style.

“They were running and passing the ball, everything just went well.

It was an excellent game to watch.”

He said the team had improved week-on-week, despite previous losses. De Castro said they would not be able to field a full team this week and would default the last game of the season to Ngati Toa, currently unbeaten and top of the senior reserves points table. “My guys are happy to go out on a high,” said de Castro.

Athletic remain at the bottom of the table with five points, six behind LCOB at fifth place.

Dean Smith, LCOB manager, said, with just three points between the teams, it was an unceasing battle.

“The score was going backwards and forwards, the leads swapped a number of times.

It was a real hard fought, close battle.

“We had our opportunities on the attack but failed to capitalise on them.”

Sitting five points behind fourth-placed Paraparaumu, LCOB meet Shannon (lying third on the table) on home ground this weekend.

Smith admits it will be a tough game and the team would need to focus on set pieces and minimise errors.

Foxton Tyre and Lube Looking for the best tyres to put on the family car?

With winter really starting to flex its ‘wintry’ muscle, Craig at Foxton Tyre and Lube says don’t take the chance with the family — make sure the car has safe tyres, come in and see him and get them checked.

“If they need replacing or borderline, we can fix it on the spot,” he said.

Not only do they supply a great range of tyres for the family car, they have just as large a selection of tyres for commercial and farm vehicles, even mobility scooters.

With the latest wheel alignment technology onsite, they can increase the life of your tyre. Craig says a wheel alignment is critical to good handling, with all four wheels correctly aligned means longer tyre life, safe steering and safer braking in an emergency.

Having trouble starting your car on these cold mornings?

Well, it could be that a new battery is in need. Pop down to Foxton Tyre and Lube see Craig and let him sort out a new battery.

In fact, for any mechanical repairs see Craig at Foxton Tyre and Lube.

Craig says the biggest prob-
