SAY GOODBYE: Blocks of state houses may soon be a thing of the past as the Government reformssocial housing. PHOTO: SUPPLIED

‘It simply doesn’t make sense for us to strengthenthem.’
State houses are beingdemolished on Rugby Street thisweek with no intention from theGovernment to replace them.
Housing New Zealand generalmanager for property servicesMarcus Bosh said five buildingswere in need of destruction afterdozens were assessed and severalfound to be earthquake prone.
‘‘Because they had such a lowrating it would have costhundreds of thousands of dollarsfor us to make them safe fortenants. They also required sig-nificant upgrade to make themwarmer and drier.’’
He said Palmerston North hadlow demand for housing andenough properties to house thosein need.
‘‘It simply doesn’t make sensefor us to strengthen them.’’
Future use of the landremained unclear and HNZwould make a decision in Juneregarding a further 16 proper-ties, he added.
‘‘We have strengthened,refurbished and re-tenanted over160 homes in the Wellingtonregion. These are in areas of highdemand such as Porirua andLower Hutt.’’
More than 31,000 propertiesonce state-owned have been soldto private dwellers across thecountry but a recent Parliament-ary select committee reportfound HNZ’s consultation withsome communities facingredevelopment was inadequate.
Recent reforms have mean’tthey no longer offer emergencyhousing and all local offices havebeen closed, with queriesdirected to call centres.
Future plans may see Wanga-nui lose up to 260 state homes by
the end of this year, while all‘‘house for life’’ policies finishedin April.
Tenants will now face areview every three years.Agencies including the Salvation
Army will be asked to step in andprovide social housing on thebasis Work and Income provide astate subsidy.■ If you are in need of housing orknow someone who is, please callWork and Income on 0800 559 009or Senior Services on 0800 552 002if you’re over 65.

There was no number eight wirein evidence but I was blown away bythe help to make this important eventhappen. In all around 60 seniorsattended a free four-hour workshopthat should help them to stay safe forthe rest of their driving careers andplan for life after driving.

Adequate housingOver the past few weeks we have seenState Houses demolished, first timehome owners shut out of the market,the WOF under trial finding very fewhouses come up to standard.
It’s a person’s fundamental rightto have adequate housing.
At the Housing Advice Centre wesee people living in their cars as theyhave no housing.
Sometimes they’re woman orcouples with children and they oftenhave employment.
When given the choice of emer-gency housing, sometimes they stayin their cars, rather than shift intosomething that is temporary andliving with a lot of other people, orbeing separated from each other.
They just want something warm,dry, safe and affordable. I urge everyvoter to first of all vote, second readthe party policies on housing andshun the rhetoric.
Please make housing an electionissue and demand affordable housingfor all.
The Government is only inter-ested in the critical housing situationin Auckland and Christchurch.Inadequate housing in the regionsdoes not feature on the government’sradar. With recent events Palmer-ston North should be an importantelection sign post so let’s getaffordable, adequate housing on theradar for everyone.

Convicted murderer releasedBy ALECIA ROUSSEAU
A man who raped and murdered a19-year-old Palmerston Northwoman outside a Victoria Avenueblock of flats has been releasedfrom prison.
Carl Liam Martinson wasoriginally freed in 2012 but wasrecalled the following year afterbreeching his parole conditions.He was found by a probationofficer at a nightclub — the samekind of scene where he met hisvictim, Donnell Marie Wood.
After spending the nightdrinking with her at a local bar inMay 1993, Martinson who was only
17 at the time, walked his victimhome. He then raped and attackedWood, stomping her to death.Neighbours reported hearingscreams but no-one found her bodyuntil the following morning.
Martinson told police he had‘‘blacked out’’ and denied anymemory of the events. He wasfound guilty by a jury trial andsentenced to life imprisonment.
The decision by the paroleboard states they feel Martinsonwould not pose an undue risk tothe community.
He will be allowed to work on arural farm with another person hemet while in prison.
A report into the suitability ofthe address concluded it wassuitable, however the farm couldnot be monitored by GPS thereforehe will be required to stay homeovernight. The farm, which is partof the Release to Workprogramme, was described as a‘‘very pro-social’’ environment forparolees.
Other conditions for Martinsoninclude treatment andcounselling, not to enter or befound in the Palmerston Northregion without permission and notto approach or enter licensedpremises. The details of hisaddress are supressed.

Foreign control opposed
GDN290514murray
ACTIVIST: Well-known campaigner Murray Horton visited Palmerston North lastweek on his crusade against foreign control of New Zealand. PHOTO: SUPPLIED
By DALEWICKEN
A visiting activist has spoken out againstforeign ownership of New Zealand,saying it does little for our country.
Campaign Against Foreign Control ofAotearoa (CAFCA) organiser MurrayHorton spoke to a crowd of interestedlocals at the Palmerston North Citylibrary last Thursday night, raisingissues he hopes will be on the electionagenda this year.
Foreign investment in New Zealandincreased from $9.7 billion in 1989 to$101.4 billion last year. Foreign ownerscontrol 33 per cent of the share market,which does little for employment andimproving New Zealand’s foreign debtproblem, according to Mr Horton.
‘‘Ownership means political power.Our government should help its own
people, not transnational corporations. Itshould be a seen as a privilege, not aright, for foreign companies to invest inNew Zealand.’’
Child poverty, homelessness,inequality, unemployment, low wagesand the long-suffering of Christchurchresidents are examples of what happenswhen people aren’t the centre of theeconomy, he said.
While transnational companies makelarge profits out of New Zealand, only 27per cent of the $73.4 billion in profits wasreinvested in New Zealand.
Mr Horton exerted his belief the GCSBspy bases in Tangimoana and Waihopaishould be shut down and thecontroversial TPPA agreement shouldn’tbe passed through Parliament.
His stop in Palmerston North was partof a nationwide tour.

VOLUNTEER SUPERSTAR: John Lowenmans one of St John’s health shuttles.

By DALEWICKEN
A shuttle service that failed to kick off inPalmerston North is proving invaluableto residents of Feilding and Ashhurst.The St John shuttle service, based out ofSt John in Feilding, provides a pickupand dropoff service for people who wouldotherwise be unable to attendappointments.
The service was instigated in 1996 and,despite a trial of a shuttle based inPalmerston North, it failed to workmeaning this shuttle now servicesFeilding, Palmerston North, Ashhurst,Linton and surrounding townships.
The service is dependent on volunteerdrivers, who are in short supply,according to St John area administratorBrian Crothers.
‘‘We need seven or eight, or up to 10new drivers to make it easier for the oneswe do have. We do 10,000 kilometres amonth and our volunteers do 400 hours amonth. We’ve applied for funding fromthe health board but were told there isn’tfacility for it.’’
Volunteer driver John Lowen spends30 hours a week on board and has takenon the job of coordinating all bookings.
‘‘My wife died suddenly and I got a bitbored so a friend mentioned that St Johnwere always on the lookout for drivers.I’ve been doing it for nine years now,’’ hesaid.
A typical day for Mr Lowen will beginat 6.45am and consist of up to 45 trips.
‘‘I do it simply because I can helppeople. Like today that’s 18 people who’vebeen helped in getting to theirappointments — there’s a lot ofsatisfaction from that. And there’s alwaysone good news story and one laugh by theend of the day.’’
Regular shuttle user Malcolm Roberts
has been using the shuttle twice a weekfor three years.
‘‘I can’t drive anymore and it helps mywife out too, she’s a chronic asthmatic,’’he said.
‘‘I sometimes use it once a month,sometimes three to four times a month.I’d be lost without it. They’re a friendlybunch and very obliging,’’ RoseMulholland said.
Anyone over the age of 21 with a fulldrivers licence can volunteer as a driver.

Horizonsencouragesgreen fingersBy ALECIA ROUSSEAU
Students at Monrad Intermediatemay need to refine theirgardening skills after a generousdonation from Horizons’ RegionalCouncil. The community grant of$400 was given to the school inorder to establish four new vege-table plots and two compost bins.
Food technology teacherHilary Marshall said the schoolwas incredibly thankful for thegrant because it had allowed themto reduce costs and waste.
‘‘We’ve been able to create ourown fertiliser with the compostand supplement brought producewe use in class.’’
She said the idea to establish acompost heap came about lastyear after realising too muchwaste was being produced atschool. ‘‘We started by getting arecycling bin for the kitchenwhich made a big difference butwe had nowhere to put our foodscraps — this soon led to the ideaof having a compost bin andvegetable garden to spread it on.’’
With no budget for her project,Ms Marshall decided to learnabout HRC’s community grants.
‘‘It’s fantastic we have thisresource available for students tolearn from,’’ she said. ‘‘They pro-vide the opportunity for cookingstudents to pick fresh vegetables,learn how to wash and de-rootthem, and try vegetables theyhaven’t before.’’
While the vegetables are grow-ing into something edible, twoYear 7 students will be using theplots for a science project.
HRC environmental educatorHelen Thomas said it was fantas-tic the plots and compost binswere being used for sustainableand educational purposes.
‘‘It’s great to see MonradSchool taking the initiative andexploring an aspect of reducingwaste and encouraging green fin-gers. The fact they’re able to tie inmultiple focus areas, like a scienceproject, really lends credit to thisbeing a sustainable and educa-tional venture that will have a bigimpact.’’

By DALEWICKEN
Improving health of Pacificpeople and making them awareof what services are on offer isthe goal behind PalmerstonNorth’s newly launchedPasifika health clinic.
The clinic, which will runfree health visits everyTuesday, was officially openedat the Pasifika Centre inHighbury on Tuesdaymorning. Staffed by threeregistered nurses, the clinic isopen to any Pacific familieswho need healthcare advice orcheckups.
Meeting the Ministry ofHealth targets for Pacificpeople is what the nurses areworking towards, whichincludes increasing thenumber of health checks,diabetes reviews and smokingcessation clients.
‘‘It’s all about improving thehealth of Pacific people. Lots ofPacific people have problemsaccessing the relevant healthcare — half of them don’teven know what PHO means orwhat it can offer them,’’community care nurse FololeFai said.
‘‘It’s always a pleasure andprivilege to work for mypeople.’’
Director of Maori health,Materoa Mar, said theestablishment of this facilityhad been in the works for manyyears so seeing it come tofruition was a proud moment.
‘‘We hope over time to beable to grow the services toreflect what’s needed in thecommunity,’’ she said.
The decision to hold theclinic in the Pasifika Centrewas made because of itsaccessibility and child-friendlyspace.
‘‘One day we would love toturn this place into a buildingfor other services too, like withhousing, immigration andhealth under the one roof,’’ MsFai said.
The nurses operate theclinic throughout theMidCentral region, with thelaunch of the Horowhenuabranch tomorrow.

Your local memorial specialist is celebrating a milestone this year –100 years in business. Anderson Memorials began in Wanganuiin 1914 and opened a shop in Feilding in 1981 and PalmerstonNorth in 1990. This allowed the company to service a large partof the lower north island.
The company’s high standard of work has been their hallmarksince 1914. They’ve seen the changes in the size and shape ofheadstones over the years and change from hand engraving tousing computer technology for precision.
These days the company works with granite but in the pastmarble was used and lead letters were beaten into the stone.
Palmerston North manager David Winchcombe has been
running the local site for 11 years and works solely from the707 Main Street shop. He finds all aspects of the job interesting,from helping people pick out stones for their loved ones tocoordinating with engravers and installers.
The public are strongly advised to deal with an NZMMMAmember when contemplating buying a memorial because theyare guaranteed that the work will be performed by professionalswith full training in the industry behind them. This certainlyapplies to Anderson Memorials. They have been in existence for100 years with five generations involved and they look forwardto perhaps another generation coming on.
From the unique to the poignant, the company has covered it all.

ZERObugs Ltd – not another franchise Not part of amulti–national – yeah nah!
Owned & operated by a “local boy” , Roger Johnstoneof ZERObugs Ltd, says “buy local for friendlypersonalized service”. Caters for the wider range of clientele.
Homeowners, commercial sites and organizations(some multinational) in our fair region.
If your looking from the floor up, reach for the phone andcall ZERObugs Total Pest control for complete, prompt andfriendly service.
Established in 2002, Roger Johnstone, owner/operator ofZERObugs Ltd has been providing clients throughout theregion with satisfying pest control. And, even if clientsdon’t find satisfaction in their particular pest problem, thenRodger urges “give us a call, we can go that extra mile”.
‘We treat for all insect pests and with the cooler monthsapproaching, you may find the rodents start appearing, wecan sort these out as well”.
They’re not fussy where they get settled, new homes, thefamily home, rentals or commercial premises, ZERObugs isready to move them on.
As we are coming out of the busy bug season, now isthe time to look at your property (your investment), andlook at ways of helping to eliminate where insects mayharbour over the colder months. Shrubs and trees jammedup against building walls is one place where the ants inparticular can enter your dwelling, into the wall panelsand further up into the roof areas where they can nestand multiply.
Loose leaves on the ground is another area, they may bea nuisance with the ‘fall’ but better swept up and into thecompost bin.
With all this in mind, it may be a matter of consideringhaving your property washed down and looking good forthe summer months. Although ZERObugs can handle thesmaller single story houses and business premises, thereare other more specialized companies in our area that cantackle those larger more intricately shaped buildings.
‘Our company is called in often to follow up thismaintenance by including an exterior spider treatmentwhich puts a finishing touch to the completed job”.

VULNERABILITY: Intersection safety for road users was a high priority for Tuesday’s exercise in The Square.

enforce the message that each
person is somebody’s family.

Bus drivers and cyclists offered new perspectives
Palmerston North has five
intersections among the top 100
posing the highest risk to road
users according to statistics.
An exercised focused on
sharing the road held by Horizons
Regional Council, Police and New
Zealand Transport Agency, saw
bus drivers and cyclists swap
seats for two hours offering them
the chance to view the road from
another perspective.
HRC road safety co-ordinator
Desley Monks said people needed
to be aware that despite who was
to blame, accidents were some-
thing we all wanted to avoid.
‘‘We’re asking people; if you
hit or kill someone and it’s their
fault, do you feel good about it?
No, you don’t.’’
The workshops which have
been successfully trialled in
Auckland and Wellington,
received a great response and
allowed bus drivers to cycle one
and half laps of The Square while
being tailed by two city buses.
The first round saw one cyclist
have a near miss with a car while
two other vehicles almost ‘‘ran up
the side of the bus’’.
Transit operations manager
Luke Aschebrock said the event
gave people a chance to see what
issues faced those at both ends of
the spectrum.
‘‘Sometimes you’ve got to
think about the weight ratio
between a bus and cyclist; you
know who’s going to be worse
off.’’After driving for more than
eight years, Mr Aschebrock says
he’s thankful he hasn’t been
involved in a serious collision
with a bike.
‘‘It’s come very close many
times; a cyclist can be following
directly behind the bus and we
can’t see them at all, then all of a
sudden they appear and try to
come down the left or right side.
Bus drivers are constantly on the
lookout and we only have these
side and front mirrors to do so.’’
The company had trialled
proximity sensors but these were
too unreliable, he added.
‘‘They go off at things like
lights and they were not effective.
We have driving appraisals
which ensure all our drivers are
aware of the risks associated with
cyclists.’’Brian Way, who uses cycling
as his preferred mode of trans-
port, says Palmerston North was
a great place to ride and there
were little issues he saw between
his counterparts and other motor-
ists.

Legal highs disturb police
FILE
BYALECIA ROUSSEAUPalmerston North police are
becoming increasingly worried
about the impact legal highs are
having on the community after
witnessing more than 100 people
queuing for the products over
Easter weekend.Photos of people lining up
outside a local synthetic
cannabis retailer in the early
hours of Saturday and Monday
mornings were uploaded to
social networking sites and have
since made national news.Senior sergeant Brett Calkin
said the problem was getting
progressively worse.‘‘It’s sad that so many people
were hanging out to get their fix
after the shop was only closed for
a 24-hour period. Police are seri-
ously concerned about the
impact this stuff is having on our
community and particularly the
most vulnerable people in our
community,’’ Mr Calkin said.Over the weekend, police had
also attended a number of
incidents relating to the use of
legal highs. In one callout, Mr
Calkin said a man had been
using synthetic products and
threatened police with two sharp
blades.‘‘Fortunately he was taken
into custody without the police
officer being injured but this
type of incident is becoming
increasingly common.’’A Palmerston North resident
who visited Nandos in The
Square on Thursday last week
told the Guardian he saw three
young males consuming syn-
thetic cannabis in a nearby alley-
way.‘‘We got there at around
5.30pm and stayed for around an
hour and a half; they were there
the entire time. These boys
would have been maybe 15 or so;
they smoked it through a bong
and one by one passed out. It was
like a dominoes effect but then
they got up, wiped the drool and
started all over.’’He asked not to be named and
said he was afraid to approach
the young men as he was unsure
what their response would be.Five councils in New Zealand
have implemented Local
Approved Products Policies and
22 more are working through
draft proposals.PNCC’s Community Develop-
ment Committee was due to
consider the report
recommending the adoption of
an LAPP on April 14 but this has
been put on hold while it seeks
legal advice.
Associate Minister of Health
Peter Dunne said the number of
outlets selling synthetic
cannabis had reduced since the
introduction of the Psychoactive
Substances Act last year, adding
only the first part of the bill has
been implemented. In 2015,
manufacturers will need to prove
their products are ‘‘low harm’’
before they can be sold.

SPORT FOCUS
Celebrating ourstars — golf
‘Whitehead’s hugelysuccessful golfing
career wasacknowledged in 1968when she won the
ManawatuSportsperson of the
Year award.’
Here at Sport Manawatu we’recelebrating the past, present, andfuture of sporting talent in theManawatu region. This monthwe’re highlighting the stars ofgolf.
Jean Whitehead (pictured) is alegend, there is no question. By1955 Jean had won the NewZealand foursomes title and theNew Zealand plate, and showed nosigns of slowing down. By 1973 shehad won gold twice at the NewZealand woman’s amateurchampionships. Whitehead’shugely successful golfing careerwas acknowledged in 1968 whenshe won the ManawatuSportsperson of the Year award.
But Jean Whitehead is as mucha legend off the green as she is onit, spending time as president ofthe Manawatu Golf Club and ofthe Manawatu-Wanganui DistrictGolf Association, as well as beinga selector for New Zealand Golf.Jean is a true ambassador of thegame.
Josh Munn began playing golfat age 13 and has been enormouslysuccessful since. He first made aname for himself in 2011 when hewon the open at the Charles Tour.Munn further showed his talentsin 2012 in the playoff for the SBSinvitational title where he tookwhat he refers to as ‘‘his mostspectacular shot’’, sinking a 45foot putt which led to theprovince’s first win in 10 years.
Munn has hit his stride in thepast few years, winning numerousinternational events and justrecently taking a spectacular New
Zealand Amateur Championshipwin — the first Manawatu playerin over 80 years. With such animpressive year, he’s a likelycontender for Sport Manawatu’sSportsperson of the Year.
Brydie Hodge is an up-and-coming golfing sensation. At only17, Hodge has been ranked theNumber 1 woman in her district.Last year was a strong year forBrydie; representing Manawatu-Wanganui at the ToroInterprovincial Champs atMuriwai and winning theHorowhenua and Wanganui Openwomen’s titles. Her successcontinued this year where shecompeted at the New ZealandWomen’s Open alongside some ofthe world’s top players. Hodge iscurrently in Victoria, Australia,competing at the AustralianJunior Amateur after recentlybeing selected for the NewZealand junior team.
Golf in the region is movingfrom strength to strength, fromlegend to legend, so get your clubsand hit the green.

Crouch,Touch, Paws!
Arthritis is a common disease which canaffect animals at any age but is usually seenin our “oldies”, and clinical signs are oftenexacerbated by chilly winter weather.
The majority of joints have a smooth layer ofcartilage covering the ends of the bones andthere is also “lubrication” within the joints,called synovial fluid. Arthritis occurs when,for whatever reason, the cartilage becomesdamaged or worn to the point where bone is
rubbing on bone with no cushioning, causingpain and inflammation. Also the synovialfluid may lose some of its effectivenessand the lubrication in the joint is lessened.Arthritis is commonly seen in the hips,elbows, stifles, hocks and shoulders, but itcan affect other joints, including the spine.
Signs of arthritis in cats and dogs can include:• Trouble getting up in the morning• Limping• A reluctance to walk, climb or jump• Declined activity and/or sleeping more• Restlessness, or finding it hard to get
comfortable• Lagging behind on a walk• Painful to touch/handle• Aggression• Licking at a joint• Changes in behaviour• Loss of appetite
Managing arthritis often requires amulti-factorial approach:Weight control. Arthritis is worsened bycarrying excess weight, so it is important tofeed an appropriate diet and to not over-feed.
Exercise. Moderate activity will strengthenmuscles, keep ligaments and tendonsflexible and help keep joints moving.Swimming can be ideal in some cases as a“low-impact” form of exercise.
Dietary supplements. Joint healthsupplements can include glucosamine,chondroitin and green lipped muscle extractand are safe to use in most patients.
Prescription medications. There aremany options available including anti-inflammatories and drugs for the relief ofchronic pain. Your vet will decide upon anappropriate pain management protocoland please be sure to not ever give humanmedications to your pet before speakingwith your vet.
Acupuncture is quite a painless procedureand has shown to be effective in somecases.
Stem cell therapy is a new and expensivetechnique that is currently emerging inveterinary medicine.
Environmental changes. Be sure tomake your pet’s favourite sleeping placeeasily accessible and consider raising theirfood and water bowls slightly. Magneticunderlays, coats and collars may be of use.Padded beds that are warm, out of the cold,damp and draught are also of benefit.
Unfortunately there is no cure for arthritisbut by getting onto things early so thatfurther damage is prevented or slowed, andby reducing pain and inflammation, youcan make your pet’s life easier and morecomfortable.
