CHANGING FACES: Farewell to Linda Fletcher who has worked at the Horowhenua Chronicle formore than 30 years, and welcome new general reporter Tanya Wood.
By FRANKIEWEBB
Horowhenua Chroniclefarewelled Linda Fletcherafter more than 30 years withthe company, but the con-nection goes back further.
Linda’s father Alex wasresponsible for starting the(Horowhenua) Weekly News in1953. Linda has worn as manyhats as the paper has had namechanges. From reporting tosub-editing and everything inbetween, Linda has done it.With a passion for ‘‘All thingsANZAC’’, Linda has beenresponsible for putting outwonderful ANZAC Daysupplements in both the Horo-whenua Chronicle, the KapitiNews and The Guardian inPalmerston North. Lindaleaves the Chronicle to take upa position at Te Takere.
Tanya Wood joins theChronicle having returned toNew Zealand after 20 years inthe United Kingdom.
Despite picking up what shedescribes as a ‘‘sarf London’’,accent Tanya swears she’sKiwi through and through.
Leaving her adult son in theUK, Tanya came home to com-plete a journalism diploma atWhitireia Polytechnic in 2011.
She spent six months work-ing on a small regional paperand then almost two years agotook up a position with com-munications agency Drycrustas Horowhenua District Coun-cil account manager.
Tanya is welcomed to theChronicle in the position ofgeneral reporter.
YOUR VIEWS
Speaking rightsRe the letter ‘Agreement’ fromCharles Rudd senior (Horo-whenua Chronicle October 18), Iwas also one of the personsdenied speaking rights to theQueen Street Drain item in theHorowhenua District Councilagenda of October 2.
Instructions had been issuedto the secretary to deny thoserights. She had not been
instructed to inquire about thecontent of my speaking rights.
I was wanting to support theitem as I was focusing on thepositive aspect of no pollutionwhich was included in that40-year-old document.
It has therefore been madevery plain to me that when thepublic choose to support theHorowhenua District Councilthat you are not going to bewelcome because we have a
dictator at the helm and nooptions will be considered.

Electoral systemIt was good to see that theelectoral officer has made acomment concerning my previ-ous emails. Not that he hasanswered any of the questionsbut attempted to imply that I amunable to read documents.
I was fully aware that theprofile booklet stated severalcandidates were standing formore than one position. What Iwas not aware of was that thesecandidates could not be electedto both positions. I wasinformed that this is due to theElectoral Act 2001 Section 58A.Well sorry, that section of theact does not say a candidate
cannot hold two positions.Section 58A Prohibition on
candidacy for community board:(1) No member of a territorial
authority may be a candidate forelection as a member of acommunity board that isconstituted in respect of part ofthe district of the territorialauthority.
(2) Subsection (1) does notapply if a general election ofmembers of the territorial auth-ority is to be held at the sametime as a general election ofmembers of the communityboard.
The electoral officer states ‘‘Itis clear in the Act and widelyknown to the candidates and thegeneral voting public that theelection to the higher positiontakes precedence.’’
Sorry, as a member of thegeneral voting public I was notaware of this and, although Ihave been unable to ask all thegeneral public, the ones I havespoken to were not aware of iteither. What section of the Actstates this?
Further, section 54 of the Actstates, in part: ‘‘Additionalmaterial to be included in noticein respect of poll.
In the case of a poll, a noticeunder section 52 must also —
(b) in the case of a bindingpoll, state the consequences ofeach possible result of the poll;
Maybe I missed this notice,but I still can not find it, and Ibelieve that the poll was abinding one as defined. If thispart of the Act had been com-plied with then if a candidatewas elected to two positions thenthe result of the poll would meanthat the candidate could not‘‘take up’’ both positions.
Perhaps the electoral officercould actually quote the relevantsections of the act that in his‘‘experience is widely knownand understood’’.

By FRANKIEWEBB
Dick Denton QSM JP has worn many hatsin his life, a number of them associatedwith his position as Justice of the Peace.
He was sworn in as a JP on January 251984 and served almost 30 years as aMinisterial JP. He was president of theJP’s Association from 1991 to 1993 and from2005 to 2006 and acting coroner in 1990. TheDenton family has been a part of Horo-whenua for more than 100 years, havingsettled in what is now Denton Road.
Dick Denton married Pam Hills onOctober 1, 1949, and they have threechildren, Richard, Vivienne and John.
In 1962 Mr Denton was elected to theHorowhenua County Council, becamechairman of the Rural District Council andwas a member of the Horowhenua LakeDomain Board from 1962 until 1978. In 2005Mr Denton received a Queen’s ServiceMedal recognising his contribution to thecommunity. In 2010 Horowhenua DistrictCouncil acknowledged his contributionpresenting a 50-year community servicesmedal. Last month a function was held inhis honour due to his retiring as a JP.
ALL SOULS’ DAYFeast of All Souls; Defuncts’ Day;Commemoration of the Faithful Departed,All Souls’ Day is a commemoration ofdeceased loved ones and ‘‘all faithfuldeparted’’, and no belief in a purgatorialstate is expected or required.
Beliefs and practices associated withAll Souls’ Day vary widely amongdenominations. The observance is thethird day of Hallowmas and annuallyoccurs on November 2.The observance of
All Souls’ Day ‘‘was spread throughoutEurope‘‘by Saint Odilo of Cluny in the late13th century. Like All Hallows’ Eve and AllSaints’ Day, family members often attendmass and visit the graves of their deceasedloved ones, placing flowers and lightedcandles there.
In many Anglican and Roman CatholicChristian services, a 7th-century AD prayerThe Office of the Dead is read out inchurches on All Souls’ Day.
In England, a popular traditionassociated with All Souls’ Day is souling,in which bands of children, or of poor men,went round to the houses of the well-to-doon Souling Day, as they called it, beggingmoney, apples, ale, or doles of cake. Insome parts specially baked cakes wereprepared in readiness to give away; theywere called soul-cakes. The individualswho go souling often chant rhymes as theygo door-to-door.

Levin does Bonnie and Clyde justiceTHEATRE REVIEW
Bonnie and ClydePlaying at the Levin Performing ArtsSocietyReviewed by Pam Smith
LVN131113splbonnie
The usual opening night buzz ofanticipation was very evident at lastFriday’s opening night of the LevinPerforming Arts Society’s Bonnie andClyde.
However, there was the added hypethis time because it also happened to bethe Australasian premier of this recentrelease of this exciting stage production.
Levin Performing Arts Society hasbeen extremely privileged to be hostingthis show as stringent criteria had beenset by the copyright owners in America.The criteria has to be met before thestage show could proceed.
Usually the premier of contemporaryBroadway shows held in New Zealandare reserved for the main theatres inAuckland, Wellington or Christchurch,so it is a real coup for the local theatresociety to bid for the performance rights.
The story of Bonnie and Clyde, the ill-fated lovers and outlaws, has beeninfamous since they achieved folkheroship status during the GreatDepression in the United States.
We enjoyed a delicious meal. Ourpumpkin soup was thick and creamywith just a hint of spice. The chickenbreast was tender and succulent and theorange cheesecake that followed wassimply to ‘‘die for’’ and the best I haveever tasted. Congratulations must go toGayle Staats and her catering team forsetting the right mood for the eveningsentertainment.
Heartiest congratulations to the freshand skilled production team of ReubenPrice, with his clever technical ability,Colin Taylor, who is a vastly
experienced and talented musicaldirector, stage manager Karlly Murchand production manager ChrisCraddock. It was a stirling effort.
These four produced an amazingresult and the slick synchronisation ofthe unending scene changes had to beseen to be believed.
The back wall was divided into twohalves which were raised and loweredcontinually to allow the propertiesnecessary to create the scene to bewheeled or carried in. Up above, the titleof each scene flashed on the wall and thatwas just an added challenge for theproduction team to deal with.
The rhythm and pace of the changesnever faltered, which was incredibleconsidering that it was opening nightand it certainly contributed greatly tothe building of a tense expectancy.
The entire cast were exceptional, withnot one weak link. Jennie Ferguson wasoutstanding as Bonnie, as was NickO’Brien as Clyde.
Their characterisations never slippedand their singing was a delight.
These two, as the stars, had to beconvincing at all times and they were.
Walter Godfrey as Clyde’s brotherBuck Borrow was equally comfortable inhis role.
Destiny-Rose Anderson, a youngBonnie and hans Devon-Lamb, a youngClyde, both performed creditably,obviously both extremely at home on thestage.
A special mention must be made ofpreacher Chris Craddock, for hispowerful portrayal and gospelrenditions. His performance waselectrifying and one of the highlights ofthe show.
The intriguing storyline, thepowerful pulsating music and the strongcast have all contributed to the LevinPerforming Arts Society having anotherwinner on their hands, Bonnie and Clydeis not a show to be missed.

‘The transition tofulltime school atfive is so mucheasier for thechildren who havebeen a part of theprogramme.’— JEANETTE WILSON, Levin School
deputy principal
Levin School recognises that childrenare often ready to start school well beforetheir fifth birthday.
‘‘Especially if they have siblingsalready at school,’’ deputy principalJeanette Wilson said.
‘‘We recognise the fact and welcomefour-year-olds into our pre-entry classheld every Wednesday throughout theschool year.’’
Joined by a parent or caregiverchildren can enrol at the school, and preentry classes, from the day they turnfour.
‘‘The transition to fulltime school atfive is so much easier for the childrenwho have been a part of the programme,’’Jeanette said.
The children are immersed in avariety of learning programmes whichrecognise their individual learningneeds.
‘‘Each week the children do simplemaths work, take part in music andlisten to a story,’’ Jeanette said.‘‘Children look forward to coming, welook forward to having them in theschool.’’
Closer to their fifth birthday there isan opportunity to make classroom visitsin the morning.
‘‘They will be familiar with theclassroom environment already,’’Jeanette said.
‘‘This helps them to become familiarwith the routine of a school day.’’
Early enrolment has advantages forthe school as well as the students.
‘‘While it is extremely beneficial forthe children to build social relationshipswithin the school, it also enables theschool to estimate the role for thefollowing year and plan accordingly,’’principal Colin Offord said.■ For information contact Levin School,phone 368-6562.

SUPPORTER: Horowhenua District Mayor BrendanDuffy is ‘‘proud’’ to take the pledge.
Mayors get behind pledgeMayor Brendan Duffy isurging Horowhenua’s mento take The Pledge.
This week marks thestart of the 2013 WhiteRibbon Campaign to endmen’s violence towardswomen. This will be kickedoff with mayorsthroughout the countrytaking The Pledge ‘‘tonever commit, condone orremain silent aboutviolence towards women’’’.
White Ribbon is aninternational movementthat began after the murderof 14 women in Canada. Itsfocus is to change attitudesand behaviours aroundmen’s violence towardswomen. This year, thecampaign will focus onasking men to take ThePledge and encouragingthem to build it into theirdaily lives.
Mr Duffy is pleased to be supportingthe White Ribbon Campaign once againthis year. ‘‘I’m proud to take this pledgeand demonstrate my commitment toending this violence. As a community, wemust stand together to stop violencehappening within our district.
‘‘It [violence] destroys lives andprevents the most vulnerable in oursociety from participating in ourcommunities.’’
When men take The Pledge, they areprovided with resources to help themtake action and change attitudes andbehaviours. The Pledge lets men knowthat thousands of New Zealanders havegot their back, and support their decisionto help make Aotearoa a violence-freecountry. The Pledge can be taken onlineat www.whiteribbon.org.nz
‘‘We can all influence those around us,and saving just one life, preventing justone woman from being hospitalised or
one child from experiencing violencewould make the campaign worthwhile.’’
Judge Boshier, White Ribbonchairman, agrees. ‘‘While most men arenot violent, most violence is perpetratedby men. We know that one of the bestways to change behaviour is to changesocial norms. Right now, far too manypeople still think that violence isacceptable. And in too many cases, theirfriends and colleagues don’t speak up.’’
It is that silence that leads men tobelieve violence is okay.
‘‘The time for looking away is over. I’mpromoting this pledge because if we alltake responsibility for this seriousproblem, we can change both attitudesand behaviour. For too long I’ve seen theresults of family violence in the courts,for our mothers, our daughters, ourcolleagues, our friends and our partnerswe need to take a stand and it starts withThe Pledge.’’

Shop has changed its focus over timeBy LINDA FLETCHER
LVN111113SPLcamera
MILESTONE: Celebrating 25 years in Levin Mall the friendly Camera Place team, from left, Susan Williams, Stephen Feldon andJared Smith.
Stephen Feldon of Camera Place is cele-brating 25 years in the Levin Mall.
Starting work on November 6, 1988 asa shop assistant at Berry’s Photo Centre,Stephen is now firmly established in thebusiness he has owned for over sevenyears.
He’s seen a lot of changes over the past25 years.
There have been six landlords in theMall and a lot of shops have come andgone.
‘‘A lot of people too, good people,there’s a lot of memories.’’
Stephen has a lot of time for his oldboss, John Berry.
‘‘He’s still a mentor for me — I can’tspeaking highly enough of him — andhe’s a good friend too.’’
The biggest changes have been intechnology.
Summer time used to mean busy daysprocessing film, especially after a sunnyholiday weekend.
‘‘We used to work late on a Mondaynight to clear the backlog,’’ Stephen said.
‘‘A peak day after a long weekend wewould process 200 rolls of films. On anaverage Monday it would be 120-130.’’
The old processing machines used totake up half the shop but now they are alot smaller.
Digital cameras have meant a changeof focus in the services they provide, withenlargements and photo canvases top ofthe list.
Camera Place also helps customersbridge the technology gap, transferringold slides, photographs and home moviesto digital media. Photo restoration, photobooks, digital passport photos are allregular services the shop provides.
Stephen’s photography skills havebeen honed over his whole life time.
He owned a 35mm camera and pro-cessed his first film with his father at theage of four.
The family lived in Bulls, so as well as
plants — and his little sister — Stephenphotographed lots of aircraft at OhakeaAir Base where his father worked.
He was just four years old when theBulls bridge collapsed in 1973 and itbecame the target of his new skills.
These days he works as a professionalevent photographer and has lost count ofthe number of weddings he has done over
the years. When he’s not working heenjoys the great outdoors, and his cameraaccompanies him in these excursions.
A couple of weeks ago he was kayakingdown the Whakatane River with a groupof business colleagues, which hedescribed as ‘‘simply wonderful’’.
Stephen is proud of his four KodakExpress Shop of the Year Awards — four
gold and one bronze — which are testa-ment to his commitment to providing aquality service to his customers.
He has a small, tight team.His wife Deb works in the shop’s
framing business and Jared Smith andSusan Williams are their able assistants,willing to share their photography know-ledge.

Tips to nix needy cats
Our black cat, Roxy, is incrediblyneedy. Shewas an abandonedrescue kitten. She is now 15 yearsold and follows us everywherewego.Wheneverwe sit on the couchshe jumps on the chair arm andstares at us until we give her acuddle.When I’mworking on thecomputer she jumps on the tableand stares atme for a cuddle. She’salwaysmiaowing for cuddles, fromfirst thing in themorning until lastthing at night. Our other cat, atabby, has normal behaviour anddoes her own thing in betweencuddles. How dowe get Roxy to giveus a bit of space?We hate to pushher off, but it gets a bitmuch all daylong.
The first thing to do is get Roxychecked by a veterinarian— this mayinvolve running blood tests.Any change in behaviour,
particularly in an elderly cat, could becaused by an underlying healthcondition. If Roxy is in good physicalhealth, then there could be otherreasons for her behaviour.Kittens that have had a hard start
life in life and that have beenseparated from their mother at anearly age often display behaviouralproblems and can be particularlydemanding.Some cats are naturallymore
needy andwill demandmoreattention than others. Burmese andSiamese breeds are very demandingand the kind of behaviour youdescribe is normal for them!It is also possible that she is
becomingmore anxiety prone as shegets older.The ageing process in an animal’s
brain can cause their anxiety toworsen.Cats can also be affected by stress
or changes in their environment.Moving house, different people
coming or going in your home, newpetsmoving into the neighbourhoodor even neighbours undergoing noisyrenovations can affect a cat’sbehaviour.I would recommend keeping a note
of when Roxy’s behaviour is
particularly bad and note downwhatis happening in the environment atthe time, to see if there could be a link.Be gentle but firmwith Roxy,
ignore her attention-seeking attemptsand give her attention when she iscalm and quiet.Giving in to her demands will just
reward this behaviour and serve toincrease it. You can still enjoy cuddleswith Roxy but when you choose, notwhen she demands it.Keep all routines like feeding the
same and don’t move furniturearound constantly— this may help tokeep her stress levels down.Ensure Roxy has a secure place of
her own to retreat to, such as a specialbed or even a covered box, as catsoften feel more secure in a coveredarea.If you feel Roxy is stressed or she
is becoming increasingly confused,discuss this with your veterinarian,as there are some treatments theymay be able to recommend.
Focus on newborn careMidCentral District Health Board’s New-born Enrolment programme was launchedlast month and will be available to parentsof the 2500 children born within theMidCentral region each year.
MDHB have established a newbornenrolment programme which assists par-ents of newborns to link into a variety ofpublicly-funded health services.
Newborn Enrolment co-ordinatorMichelle Drew said with the arrival of anewborn comes the responsibility of manag-ing their health and wellbeing, and the newform will help facilitate this.
The form provides a single documentwhich manages enrolment with all theservices for their baby at once. It alsoenables the newborn enrolment co-ordinator to easily identify children whomay not have access to any of the servicesthey are entitled to. MidCentral can thenassist families with the enrolment process.
Services included on this form are:National Immunisation Register; Well
Child Tamariki Ora provider; GeneralPractice Team; Child and Adolescent OralHealth Service; Universal Newborn HearingScreening and Early Intervention Pro-gramme.
Forms are being distributed to mothersafter the birth of their babies and should becompleted prior to leaving hospital. Thisenables all services involved to be notifiedas soon as possible.
If the family is not enrolled with aGeneral Practice or have not decided onwhich Well Child provider to go with, theNewborn Enrolment Co-ordinator willmake contact with the family to assist withthis. Homebirths and babies born out of thedistrict but who live in the MDHB area willbe given their newborn enrolment form bytheir Lead Maternity Carer (LMC) who willthen forward it to the co-ordinator.

Rock your garden with natural fertiliser
BLOOMING GREAT: Roses appreciate a Rok Solid application.
Diggingin
WALLY RICHARDS
Several years ago I wasintroduced to a product calledRok Solid which is a Rockdust-Full Spectrum-Bio CertifiedFertiliser.
Rok Solid is designed towork in the soil, increasing themineral content to the benefitof the health of the soil andplants growing there.
Used on food crops, it meansproduce will have greaternutritional value and taste.
Rok Solid contains over 60minerals and elements and isspecially selected for itsnatural energy(paramagnetism).
This energy is what givesthe soil its vitality assisting inthe nutrient uptake of plants.
The high silica content (43per cent) helps in plantformation.
Rok Solid is blended withOrganic 100 liquid fertiliserconcentrate made from fish andseaweed, which contributes afurther array of minerals,together with microbialstimulates.
These organisms arenecessary to hold soil balance,regulate nutrients to plants,build humus and help detoxifythe soil.
Rok Solid is used at 100grams per square metre for newplantings. The scoop providedin container is approx 50 grams
when filled level.Alternatively, put about a
level teaspoon into eachplanting hole for seedlings or asprinkling along a row of seeds,with the seeds at planting time.
Larger plants need about alevel tablespoon in the plantinghole.
For existing gardens use 100grams per square metre twice a
year (spring and autumn) forfruit trees, shrubs, vegetableand flower gardens and lawns.
Roses enjoy an applicationof one to two teaspoons per rosein spring and autumn givingyou healthier roses and betterflowers.
I have had excellent reportson the improvement Rok Solidhas made to gardeners’ roses.
For the home gardener RokSolid is available in 1kg and 3kgjars from many garden centres.
Analysis of Rok Solid(Averages). Nitrogen .15 percent, phosphorus .8 per cent,potassium 1.0 per cent, sulphur.14 per cent, calcium 4.4 percent, magnesium 5.6 per cent,sodium 2.95 per cent, silica 43.0per cent, iron [Fe] 39000ppm,
manganese 1100ppm, boron55ppm, copper 90ppm, zinc142ppm, cobalt 59ppm,molybdenum 2ppm, selenium3ppm, plus many other traceelements.
Since 2008 I have being usingthis natural product in all myraised gardens and containers,placing a little in the plantinghole for seedlings or asprinkling into a containerwhen potting up.
On existing containers withfruit trees and ornamentals atwice yearly sprinkling makesthe world of difference to thehealth of the plants.
The most remarkable use Ihave come across is a massivepassion fruit vine that isgrowing over a horizontaltrellis under a clear plasticroof.
At the time I spotted thisplant at an organic orchard, thevine covered about 8 squaremetres and there werehundreds of large passion fruithanging down waiting to ripen.
I ask the owner about thevine and what it was being fed(as it was only growing in a 100litre container). I was told RokSolid.
If you want better gardens,healthier plants plus moreflavour as well as nutritionalvalue from your vegetables andfruit then Rok Solid is theanswer.

SAFE OPTIONS: TheMazda6 and Kia Carenshave both received 5-starsafety ratings.
Car and people moverattain five star ratingsSafe family motoring is a focus with thelatest results from the Australasian NewCar Assessment Programme.
A people mover from Kia and one ofNew Zealand’s most popular cars haveeach been awarded a 5-star ANCAP safetyrating.
Recently launched on the New Zealandmarket, the Kia Carens (Kia Rondo inAustralia) and the Mazda6 performedstrongly in the crash tests.
Both vehicles have dual frontal, sidechest and curtain airbags as standard.However, curtain airbags are not fittedfor the third row of the Carens. Alsostandard for both vehicles are antilockbrakes (ABS), electronic brakedistribution (EBD) and electronicstability control (ESC).
AA Motoring Services generalmanager Stella Stocks says it is pleasingthe popular Mazda6 performed sostrongly.
‘‘Kiwis took to the Mazda6 from itsinitial introduction and its popularity hassignificantly increased in the years since.That Mazda continues to invest to ensuresubsequent models are safer is atestament of its commitment toconsumers and also other road users,’’she says.
Ms Stocks says it is also fantastic to seea people mover in the mix with the KiaCarens receiving a 5-star ANCAP safetyrating with ease.
‘‘People movers are a favourite forlarger families and community groups.The Carens has been absent from ourmarket for a couple of years but now it’sback and with a 5-star rating it offers Kiwibuyers a safe and affordable option.’’
Transport Agency Access and Usegeneral manager Celia Patrick says theNZTA is working to improve the safety ofNew Zealand’s vehicle fleet as part of theGovernment’s Safer Journeys strategy
and it was great news that the range of topsafety-rated cars was continuing to grow.
‘‘Crash statistics show that occupantsof 5-star-rated vehicles are much lesslikely to receive life-threatening injuriesin a crash than occupants of lower ratedvehicles.
‘‘With today’s safety technology, 5-starratings are increasingly becoming thenorm, and we urge people to buy thesafest vehicle they can afford.’’
ANCAP has also awarded a 5-starsafety rating to the Renault Clio3-cylinder engine variants. This model isexpected to be introduced to the NewZealand market in 2014.
ANCAP is supported by all Australianand New Zealand motoring clubs, theAustralian Government, the New ZealandGovernment, Australian state andterritory governments, the VictorianTransport Accident Commission, NRMAInsurance and the FIA Foundation.
