Even a teddy bear found in thedebris that was once a proud pri-mary school in Piako had amournful look on its face.

Kereone School, which closedin 2014 after more than 90 yearsservice, was smashed to pieces byits government owners last weekto the horror of the local com-munity.

‘‘It’s wanton destruction,’’ saidDon Perrin, principal at theschool for 16 years.

‘‘There was a signed agree-ment between the ministry andthe community, with no mentionof demolition.’’

Two main classrooms were‘‘smashed to smithereens’’, withthe school swimming pool cavedin and tennis courts destroyed.

‘‘The community is devas-tated,’’ said Perrin.

Board chair Gary Lever saidhe had no contact with the minis-try before the diggers arrived.

‘‘They should’ve let the com-munity know.’’

Lever also understood thatprivate tender negotiations wereundertaken.

‘‘This is a helluva shock.’’Lever said there had been

three inquiries in the last year tobuy buildings for removal.

The classrooms containednative timber, with roofing ironjust a year old when the schoolclosed, he said. Fencing aroundthe tennis courts was almost new.

Ministry of Education spokes-man Jerome Sheppard said:‘‘When schools are closed and no

longer needed for educationalpurposes, we often demolish, sellor gift school buildings on the site.

‘‘In most cases we clear theland so that it can either beoffered to the original owners, orused in a Treaty [of Waitangi]settlement, or sold, as required bythe Public Works Act.

‘‘This is so there are noremaining issues for the nextowners of the property, such asbuildings containing asbestos(which he said was the case atKereone).’’

Sheppard said the ministrywas ‘‘not aware’’ of anyexpressions of interest for thebuildings.

Considering recycling buildingmaterials, he said ‘‘in this case itwould cost more to take the build-ings apart board by board than wewere likely to recover’’.

Sheppard said, in line withgovernment procurement rules,tenders for demolition do not needto be advertised publicly if theestimated cost of the work isbelow a particular threshold.

YOUR PAPER, YOUR PLACE

FROM

THE

EDITOR

Anzac Day has come aroundagain and I am looking forward towhat I think is a truly special dayon our calendar.

In the 30 years I have workedfor community newspapers in theWaikato I have nearly alwayscovered Anzac Day services.

It is probably something Iwould attend anyway, even if Iwasn’t working.

My grandfather fought atGallipoli and my father served inthe Middle East in World WarTwo.

I have been fortunate enoughto have visited Turkey twice – thefirst in 1988 and again last August– both times making thepilgrimage to Gallipoli.

The peninsula remainsprobably much as it was morethan a century ago.

No nearby homes or towns tospeak of, with a narrow, stoneybeach.

Looking down from raisedpositions like Chunuk Bair andLone Pine to Anzac Cove, you getsome idea of what our troopsfaced.

RAMSEY/FAIRFAX NZ

In the first of a seriesof stories about theRDA in the Waikatotown of Waihou,Teresa Ramseyexplores what it’s liketo volunteer.

Mark Kinghan satisfies his love ofhorses and helping others everyWednesday morning.

He has been volunteering atthe Te Aroha & Districts Ridingfor the Disabled in Waihou forabout eight months.

With a background in mentalhealth and education servicessupport work, he enjoys walkingnext to the horses and riders eachweek.

‘‘I love horses,’’ he said.‘‘But I can’t afford horses so

this is really the best of bothworlds.’’

The self-employed gardenermakes the time each week to pitchin for the organisation, whichdoes incredible work for peoplewith disabilities.

‘‘If you’ve got the time and youcan get out here, it’s just a goodexperience, especially if you lovehorses or you want to get involvedwith horses,’’ Kinghan said.

‘‘We love coming here and wewalk out with a smile at the end ofit.’’

The specially-trained RDAhorses had an important role toplay for riders, both physicallyand emotionally.

Kinghan, who is fromMorrinsville, said he was con-stantly amazed by how quicklysome riders calmed down whenaround the quiet equines.

‘‘It’s incredible how you’ll getan autistic kid come in all overthe place and 10 minutes on ahorse and you can see an effect.’’

Riders also included adultswho were stiff because of an ill-ness or disability, he said.

‘‘They loosen up during theride, it’s just the movement of the

horses and being next to an ani-mal. It just works.’’

The Te Aroha RDA isstruggling to stay afloat. Thereare currently fewer than 10regular volunteers andanother 20 are desperatelyneeded. For those not

interested in handling horses,volunteers were also neededfor book work, generalmaintenance and odd jobs.To donate: givealittle.co.nz/org/tearoharda. For moreinformation phone 021 02214270 or [email protected].

Principal goes back to old schoolTERESA RAMSEY

‘‘Our kids in NewZealand are well-rounded, they get theclass aspect and they getthe outside, physicalworld.’’Andrea Colebourn

Andrea Colebourn fondly rememberswhen she went to St Joseph’s School inMorrinsville as a child.

Now, after working overseas for manyyears, she is back as principal of theschool and enjoys working with the chil-dren of her old school friends.

‘‘I wanted to come back to spend moretime with my family. I really love beingback,’’ she said.

After St Joseph’s School, Colebournwent to Sacred Heart Girls’ College inHamilton, then spent five years atMassey University in Palmerston Northstudying to become a teacher.

She completed a diploma in both earlychildhood and primary school teaching,then completed a Bachelor of Education.

Her first teaching job was at PahoiaSchool in Mt Maunganui for four years,then six years at Omanu School.

She held leadership roles in healthand physical education at both schools,with her students earning a national titlein Jump Jam Kidz Aerobix.

Colebourn then moved overseas,working as a founding principal of a pre-school in South Korea for one year.

She then moved to the Middle East,first working as a teacher advisor beforetaking up the role of primary schoolspecialist for the Education Council inAbu Dhabi.

She moved back to Morrinsville inDecember 2014, for the Kiwi lifestyle andto work in the New Zealand educationsystem again.

‘‘You can’t beat what we offer in NewZealand,’’ she said.

‘‘Our kids in New Zealand are well-rounded, they get the class aspect andthey get the outside, physical world and Ithink that’s important.’’

Colebourn spent the first half of 2015studying a Masters in Educational Lead-ership and Management, which she has

nearly completed.In term three of last year she taught at

St Joseph’s, taking on a deputy

principal’s position in term four.She took on the principal’s role when

former principal Clark McPhillipsresigned for health reasons.

Colebourn has big plans for theschool, which include knocking outinternal classroom walls to create aninnovative learning environment.

She also planned to enhance the Cath-olic faith in the school and upskill digitalresources to enhance teaching and learn-ing, she said.

‘‘I’m trying to open up our little worldto what kids need,’’ she said.

Social media followers helping policeTERESA RAMSEY

Morrinsville Police have identified twomen in relation to a theft thanks to aquick response from Piako Post socialmedia followers.

Police Sergeant Vic Sneddon said thephone rang hot just a few minutes afterthe story and CCTV photographs wereposted on stuff.co.nz and the Piako Post

Facebook and Neighbourly pages.

‘‘We received positive identification ofone man about 200 times and the otherenough times that we are satisfied,’’ hesaid.

Police would now interview the twomen in relation to using a document andtheft, one from Te Aroha and the otherfrom Maramarua, he said.

Morrinsville Police sought help fromthe public after an iPhone and PayWavecard were stolen.

Constable Lyall Randell said the pairallegedly stole the phone and card from astaff member of a Morrinsville store onMarch 22.

The card was then used to purchasegoods in Morrinsville shops,withdrawing a total of $184.50.

The last attempted purchase wouldhave brought the total to $242, but wasthe transaction was declined, Randallsaid.

Annual huntingand fishing eventhits 31st year

There will be familyentertainment,including a pig-carrying competition,spot prizes, food andrefreshments.

The Grand Tavern Hunting & Fish-

ing Club will be holding its annual

open hunting and fishing compe-

tition for the 31st year in a row.

The three-day competition, which

draws hunters and anglers from all

over the North Island, will be held on

May 12-14.

Secretary Elaine Hamilton said

the club was formed in 1985 as the

Grand Tavern Hunting Club and

renamed in 1993.

The open section includes

heaviest snapper, trout, boar and

deer.

The junior section, for those

under 16 and still at school, has the

option of hares, rabbits, possums or

eels.

Due to the declining number of

eels, all live eels brought in would be

released, she said.

There will be family entertain-

ment, including a pig-carrying com-

petition, spot prizes, food and

refreshments.

Prizes include tyres to the value

of $1000, chainsaws, a rifle, dog

boxes, GPS, Iceytec bins, and a

Kayak and life jacket.

All juniors registering on May 14

will receive a free t-shirt.

Hunting and fishing can start

from 1am May 12 but competitors

must be back at the Grand Tavern

between 1pm and 4pm on May 14 for

weigh in.

All excess funds from this compe-

tition are given back to the com-

munity.

Last year the club donated money

to the Te Aroha Community Hos-

pital, BMX Club and Air Ambulance.

Entry forms are available from

the Grand Tavern Te Aroha.

WAR OF WORDS CONTINUESON TOWN BROCHUREThis is in response to MarionLaurence’s letter (Piako PostApril 6). I read with interestMarion Laurence’s grammaticalcritique of the ‘Welcome toMorrinsville’ pamphlet.Unfortunately, the volunteerswho assembled the pamphlet, onbehalf of Morrinsville, did nothave the qualifications such thatMs Laurence holds. Havingbought this to public attention,via the newspaper, it has belittledthem somewhat, and caused themsome embarrassment. However, Iam sure they will rise above it andcontinue to encourage people ineveryway possible to visit thegreat little town of Morrinsville.There are many voluntaryorganisations in Morrinsville thatwork for the good of the town. Iam sure during the raising offunds etc. that they have to use theprinted word. Perhaps, MsLaurence could be in a position tooffer to proof read such printedwords, or even better, volunteer towrite them in the first place,thereby saving any furtherembarrassment, and further

concern to herself.

COUNTRY HOSPITALITYI just want to express my

gratitude and my experience ofbeing an Aucklander going to theTe Aroha Breeders day races forthe first time on Saturday April 9.I have been working in Te Arohasince November and the dailyhospitality from the people in thetownship is just one out of the box.I arrived on course via a car liftfrom the motel, I was met by agentleman at the grass entranceintroducing himself as Peter, whoI found out later was Peter Lock.He proudly showed me round themarquees , the facilities, then themain office where I wasintroduced to many committeemembers and I was truly treatedlike a man of importance. I havebeen to Cox Plates, Melbourne,Sydney, Brisbane and 80 per centof NZ racecourses, and Te Arohatops the lot.

Te Aroha should be extremelyproud of what they have in theirtown and I just wish there couldbe more than just one big meetinga year at Te Aroha. Local people

talked about that all day. I cameby myself on Saturday’s racemeeting but I left meeting at least20-plus new friends and willreturn next year with friendsfrom Auckland because theredefinitely is life after theBombays. Te Aroha is living proofof that. Well done Te Aroha andeverybody that had a part to playon their big day.

LIBRARY TOILETSI was in the Te Aroha Library

recently and was in desperateneed of a toilet. The librarianadvised me I would have to usethe toilet in the park, as they don’thave a toilet. I am an elderly ladythat requires a walker. This isridiculous that the library doesn’thave a toilet for it’ patrons to use.Why is this? And isn’t it time thisgets to be more ‘user friendly’.

This toilet,which includes disabled access, isdue for replacement within thenext few months.

Transport is the fitting themefor the latest addition to a seriesof sculptures in Te Aroha.

Keith and Laurel Amonfarmed at Waiorongomai beforeestablishing a trucking businesswhen moving into Te Aroha 20years ago.

Both were overjoyed withWorsley’s finished work.

‘‘It just amazes you.‘‘He’s done a brilliant job.’’The sculpture, the third in a

series initiated by Te ArohaBusiness Association, wasunveiled on Good Friday in cen-tral Whitaker St.

The Amons’ grandchildren,Drew and Stella Waterson fromHamilton, were the first toclimb aboard.

‘‘They thought it was won-

derful,’’ said Laurel Amon.Ten CBD locations have been

identified for bike racksculptures. Association chair-man Shaun O’Neill said RyanLaw has been confirmed as the

next sponsor.

Chloe Reddy won a trip to theDisney Frozen Summer HighTea Summer Garden Party atCurzon Hall in Sydney.

The Stanley Avenue Schoolpupil received an email fromorganisers after her motherbought her Disney pyjamas andentered her name in the draw.

As the trip was only for herand a chaperone, and her

mother and father had priorcommitments, Chloe asked herpoppa (grandfather Dave Hig-gins) if he would like a trip toSydney which he gratefullyaccepted.

The pair flew to Sydney at9am and by the afternoon theywere taking a train ride over theharbour bridge, a cruise aroundSydney Harbour, and visitingthe Sydney Aquarium.

At Curzon Hall the followingday, a Disney film crew was onhand to cover the garden party.

Chloe was one of two NZ girlsto win, along with 90 from Aust-ralia.

They were the asked one at atime to go on stage for a photoshoot with Frozen PrincessesElsa and Anna and princeKristoff.

Then, to the surprise ofeveryone, top Australian singerRicki Lee arrived and invited allthe winners on stage to singwith her.

‘‘This was really special,’’said Dave Higgins.

Tribal Nations membersride for Anzac DayCAITLIN WALLACE

Supporting their local RSAs is Tribal Nations MC members Rod Irvine, Daniel

Temple, Chris Laird, Tiki O’Brien, Patrick Te Wake and Jay Mason.

Just like the troops in wars pastand present, the Tribal NationsMC motorcycle group is a brother-hood fighting for a better world.

The Waikato group will hostthe first Waikato Ride of Respecton Sunday with proceeds going toMorrinsville, Ngaruawahia,Huntly and Te Awamutu RSAsand the New Zealand FallenHeroes Trust.

The event originated in theUnited Kingdom and was brought

to New Zealand in 2009. Com-mittee member Tiki O’Brien saidit was a cause which hit close tohome for a lot of the group’sriders.

‘‘We have a lot of militarypeople in our club, a lot of ourfathers are ex-military – for us,it’s to add another string to ourbow to be supporting a com-munity initiative.’’

‘‘Let’s support our RSAs, let’ssupport out groups that can’t getgovernment support.’’

The ‘‘eclectic bunch’’ described

themselves as ‘‘brothers in arms’’,O’Brien said, who supported eachother just as those in war did.

‘‘It’s not just a club where wecan go for social reasons, we are aclub with a conscience.’’

Registrations for Sunday’sRide of Respect are $15 and will beopen from 8am at theNgaruawahia RSA. The ride willstart at 10am with its first stop inTe Awamutu.

Anzac Dayphoto contest

The #MyAnzacDay photo competition will open on April

25. PHOTO: SUPPLIED

Taking a snap this Anzac Day, could win you

some impressive First World War prizes.

The major prize pack for #MyAnzacDay photo

competition consists of New Zealand Post’s new

Silver Proof Commemoration Coin, two World

War 1 books, and Nga Tapuwae New Zealand First

World War Trails merchandise pack.

The #MyAnzacDay photo competition, co-

ordinated by WW100 – New Zealand’s First World

War Centenary Programme, encourages New Zea-

landers both at home and overseas to send in a

picture of what Anzac Day means 100 years on

from the first Anzac service.

‘‘Anzac Day isn’t just about attending a service

– people also use the day to spend time with their

families, to help neighbours or their local com-

munity or simply chill out,’’ says WW100 Director

Sarah Davies.

‘‘We want to collect these photos to show a con-

temporary picture of Anzac Day.’’

There will be two major winners and two

runner-ups, who will be announced on May 12.

A People’s Choice winner will be determined

by the most likes on WW100’s Facebook album

and Judge’s Choice winner will be selected by a

judging panel.

To enter the #MyAnzacDay photo competition,

people need to take a photo on Anzac Day that

expresses what the day means to them as a con-

temporary New Zealander.

They then need to add a caption that explains

their photo, and upload it to Facebook or Twitter

with the hashtag #MyAnzacDay.

For those who do not use social media, email

entries will be accepted as well. Entries open on

April 25 and close onMay 2.

Mission of mercy for Morrinsville man

Sergeant Lyle Wooller, Helicopter Loadmaster, from the Royal New Zealand Air Force’s 3 Squadron, en route to delivering

sacks of seeds and plant cuttings to cyclone-hit Fijian islands. PHOTO: SUPPLIED

A former Morrinsville resident hasbeen playing his part in cyclonerelief efforts in Fiji.For helicopter loadmaster

sergeant Lyle Wooller, 30, the NewZealand Defence Force’s (NZDF) aidoperation marks the first time he’sbeen deployed on an overseasmission.‘‘The most rewarding part of this

deployment is seeing the Fijianssmile when we drop in to hand outaid,’’ he said.‘‘The locals are awesome, they

are all very keen to help and reallyappreciative of any help theyreceive.’’More than 40 people were killed

in Fiji after Tropical CycloneWinston struck on February 20.Being one of around 400

personnel currently involved in theNew Zealand Defence Force’s(NZDF) humanitarian aid operationin Fiji, Lyle Wooller said the Fijians’cheerful outlook and sense ofgratitude have impressed him themost.‘‘Everywhere we go to deliver aid

supplies, people come out to shakehands with us and wave usgoodbye.

‘‘In one of the highland villageson the main island of Viti Levu,residents lined up to shake handswith the entire crew,’’ he said.

Encouraged by his father, theformer Morrinsville College studentjoined the Royal New Zealand AirForce (RNZAF) in 2004 six months

into his undergraduate course atWaikato University.As helicopter loadmaster, his job

is to ensure aircraft loads are

packed correctly to maintainbalance, as well as operating thedoor guns, rescue hoists andunderslung loads of the NH90medium utility chopper.‘‘Normal precautions with landing

sites are taken, just like backhome,’’ he said.‘‘There is debris, damaged

buildings, knocked down powerlines and animals to consider sobeach landings are a good option inmost areas,’’ he said.Two RNZAF NH90 helicopters

are assisting in Fiji’s disasterrecovery efforts on their firstoverseas mission.Since arriving in Suva on March

3, the helicopters have beendelivering essential aid supplies,water purification equipment,sacks of seeds and plantcuttings to cyclone-ravagedcommunities.They have also transported New

Zealand medical volunteers as wellas Fiji government staff to remotecommunities.When in New Zealand, Lyle

Wooller is based at RNZAF Ohakea.He is due back home aboard

HMNZS Canterbury tomorrow .

FOOTBALLTe ArohaMen’s premier team – a depleted Te Arohamen’s B side travelled to Te Awamutuwiththe hope of rallying to steal the points, butsuffered their first loss of the year, losing2-0 to Te Awamutu. With five frontlineplayers unavailable for Saturday’smatch,

coach Peter Hurd called upon a numberof youngsters to fill the void against a TeAwamutu side who sat among thecompetition’s best in terms of goalsscored. Ultimately Te Arohawere outrunin themiddle of the park, and couldn’tmanage to get enough shots away tocompete in thematch, eventually goingdown 2-0. This Saturday Te Aroha travelaway toWest Hamilton.Men’s reserve team – it was a similar storyfor the club’s reserve side, who hadseveral key players out due to personalcommitments. Te Aroha competedwellwith the visiting Te Awamutu side, butwere run down in the end, losing 5-1. Afterconceding on 20minutes, the home siderecoveredwell to strike back via aspectacular Troy Rosser half-volley fromoutside of the box. Tied 1-1 at the break TeArohawere right in thematch, but leakedgoals in the crucial first 15minutes.Captain RobMarshall took home theManof theMatch award after a stellar effort inthemiddle of the park. Late goals to TeAwamutu blew the score line out to 5-1. TeAroha have a bye this week.Women’s team – had a bye over theweekend.

CRICKETMorrinsville Musketeers vs HamiltonUnder 25sOn a chilly day the Hamilton U25s traveledtoMorrinsville for a friendly 40 overmatch. Winning the toss would haveplayed a big factor, and in this case itdidn’t go theway of theMusketeers, whowere put in to field. With overcastconditions the U25s got off to a flyer bygetting to a score of 110/1 after 9 overs.The spin twins, Banroj Sidhu and JackKane, then came on to slow the run ratedown and bagged twowickets each. Atdrinks (20 overs) the Under 25s were at anexceptionally threatening score of 184/5and looking to get to 400. Death bowlingmaster Paul Keogh came into the attack inthe 23rd over with the score at 205/5, andended up taking all 5 wickets in 5 oversandwas just too good for the lowermiddle order. There was also anoutstanding and energetic fieldingperformance by Baljit Buttar who took ascreamer of a catch on the boundary andsaved plenty of runs. The U25smanaged ahealthy total of 251 in a rain shortened 35overs which could have beenmuchworse. Just like their batting, the Under25s bowlingwas quite deadly, by takingthe short bowling formula which provedtowork. TheMusketeers batsmenmade agood start with GlenMcLoughlin, andthen Peter Kane coming in to give a fewgood smashes. TheMusketeers had agood run rate at the start by reaching49/2 after 7 overs, but lost their way andhad a bigmiddle order collapse. The U25swere proven the better team on the dayand held theMusketeers to 151 runs totake thewin by 100 runs. TheMan of theMatch for theMusketeers was deathbowler Paul Keoghwith figures of 5/28from 5 overs and an outstanding catch atmidwicket.

Like any expectant parent, we had

some anxious moments before

our new baby – the revamped

Piako Post – was born today.

But, we are incredibly proud of

the finished product.

It’s fresh, it’s new and it’s what

our valued readers and

advertisers have been asking for.

As part of a Fairfax Media

initiative across the country, your

favourite community newspaper

has undergone a complete over-

haul from masthead to back page.

Piako Post, together with Fair-

fax Mediacommunity

newspapers from around the

country, asked 1000 readers what

they thought about their local

newspaper.

They told us we need to have

lots and lots of faces from our

community – people we all recog-

nise (from our neighbourhood,

street and town).

Readers also want us to make

them feel good about living in the

Piako district by including stories

that are positive and upbeat.

While we have some new and

exciting additions, local news will

remain at the heart of the Piako

Post.

Our coverage is headed by our

vastly experienced reporter

Teresa Ramsey.

Flick the page and you will see

Your Paper, Your Place – a page 2

staple which includes the top five

things to do in our community

over the next week, a word from

me, an index of this week’s

contents and our contacts.

Our general news coverage

will continue to put our people

first – good folk doing good things

– plus events, issues, schools,

sports, clubs, groups and organis-

ations.

The Letters to the Editor page –

renamed Conversations – will fea-

ture guest editorials from people

in the community.

With assistance from the

Morrinsville and Te Aroha infor-

mation centres, and Hamilton &

Waikato Tourism, we are running

a detailed What’s On listing to

highlight feature events in our

community over the next seven

days.

Last, but by no means least is a

new puzzles page.

Every week we will have popu-

lar columns from the likes of Dr

Libby (health) and Nadia Lim

(cooking).

We look forward to your

feedback on our new baby.

This how we do it in New Zealand – we drive on the left side of the road.

Why do we actuallydrive on the left?

Because the most efficientway to use a weapon withthe right hand was to makesure the opponent was tothe right of the horse,medieval swordsmenwould have ridden on theleft side of the road.

If a foreign tourist comes towards you on the wrong side ofthe road, don’t necessarily blame the driver – blame right-handedness. Or Napoleon. Rob Maetzig backgrounds whywe drive on the left.

Next time you get in the driver’s seat on theright-hand side of your car, store everythingin the centre console to your left, grip thesteering wheel with your right hand, thenhead down the left side of the street, considerthat you are doing exactly what yourmedieval ancestors would have done.

The only real difference is that instead ofgetting in via the right-hand front door of thecar, they would have found it easier to mounttheir horse from the left, swinging their rightleg over before getting in the saddle. Why?Because they would have had their swordstored in its scabbard on their left side, readyto be pulled out with the right hand to helpdeal to any danger.

And because the most efficient way to usea weapon with the right hand was to makesure the opponent was to the right of thehorse, these medieval swordsmen wouldhave ridden on the left side of the road.

Today, hundreds of years later, we stilldrive down the left side of the road, Well,about 39 per cent of do – all the rest of theworld now drives on the right side of theroad.

Apparently there are several reasons whymore than half of us now drive on the right.

The story goes that it all began in the 18thCentury when large wagons hitched up toseveral pairs of horses began to be used tohaul big loads of farm products in France andthe United States. These wagons had nodriver’s seats, and instead the driver sat onthe left rear horse so he could keep his rightarm free to use his whip. Because the driverwas on the left, visibility was best down theleft side of his team of horses, so these teamsbegan keeping to the right side of the road.

Late that century the French Revolutionadded impetus to the change to the right – upuntil then the aristocracy travelled to the leftand peasants to the right, but after the revol-ution the aristocrats decided to keep a lowprofile by joining up with the peasants ontheir side of the road.

What were the French bureaucrats to do?The answer was obvious – in 1794 theyturned into law the trend to travel on theright side of the road. Then when Napoleonembarked on his conquests throughoutEurope, he spread the law to those countriesas well, with the only nations keeping leftbeing those that resisted Napoleon’s

advances.One of those countries was Great Britain,

which in 1835 made it mandatory to drive onthe left side of the road. All other members ofthe British Empire followed suit, and that’swhy New Zealand and Australia are right-hand drive to this day.

Over the years various countries haveshifted their driving habits from one side ofthe road to the other, almost exclusively fromleft to right, but some have gone from theright to the left – the latest being Samoawhich changed to right-hand driving in 2009so it could become easier to import second-

hand cars from Japan and New Zealand.Great Britain once thought it might like to

change sides too – which obviously wouldhave meant a change for New Zealand aswell. In 1960 it was proposed to join most ofthe rest of Europe and switch to left-handdrive, but a combination of political oppo-sition and the potential cost of the changesoon put a halt to that idea.

So which is best?There is some evidence to suggest that

driving on the left side of the road is safer,simply because the greater percentage of theworld’s motorists are right-handed and there-fore right-eye dominant.

This means the stronger right hand can beused to control the steering wheel, and theright eye is the one closest to oncomingtraffic.

Whatever, it all means that as New Zea-land’s tourism industry grows, an increasingnumber of visitors from places as diverse asChina, South Korea, USA and Germany willfind themselves touring our country on the‘wrong’ side of the road.

You can blame Napoleon for that.

How muchprotein do I need?

For vegetarians or vegans, almonds and some other nuts are a good source of protein.

Ask Dr Libby

Email your questions for Dr Libby [email protected] note, only a selection ofquestions can be answered.

Your healthWITH AUTHOR AND NUTRITIONAL BIOCHEMIST DR LIBBY

I think I’m lacking in protein, Ieat a relatively balanced dietand include meat but I read it’sdifficult to get enough protein.What are your thoughts on this?With thanks – Susie.

Hi Susie. Protein is anessential macronutrient. Itsupplies us energy, helps ourbodies recover and is a criticalpart of our immune system.Proteins are composed of aminoacids, which are the buildingblocks of muscle and other bodyproteins.

In the Western world it’s prettydifficult to become proteindeficient if you eat a varied dietconsisting of whole foods.

The reasons you may not begetting enough protein are fairlystraightforward such as, notconsuming enough food ingeneral (low energy/calorierestrictive diet), you’re followinga restricted diet such as avegetarian or vegan diet, or if youhave some digestive systemsproblems. If it is the latter, you

may not absorb the amino acidsfrom your proteins foodseffectively. If you don’t eatenough food, your body may nothave enough amino acids forbuilding muscles, immunity, andhealthy hair, skin and nails etc.

Science currently suggeststhat the average person needs toconsume somewhere between 0.5and 1 gram of protein perkilogram of body weight. Onaverage, this suggests that for aperson who weighs 70kg, thatwould be about 55 grams ofprotein per day.

But consuming ‘‘adequate’’amounts of protein depends on anumber of factors including: yourphysical activity, age, currentmuscle mass or current state ofhealth (particular medicalconditions can require higher orlower consumptions of protein).Furthermore, nothing in natureis 100 per cent protein. Manypeople have been misinformedabout how much protein theyactually need for optimal health.

I’m a health coach and I wantedto know what your top threehealth tips would be for anyonewanting to lead a healthierlifestyle? Thanks, Chrystal.

Hi Chrystal. It’s difficult tochoose just three – but Ithink these tips are great foranyone wanting to improvetheir health and wellbeing,regardless of their current healthstatus;

less of something that isn’t goodfor you, focus on eating morewhole real food.

2. Become breath aware. A lotof people live on adrenalin and it

can cause a host of problems.Diaphragmatic breathing lowersstress hormones more effectivelythan anything.

3. Stay in touch with what agift life is. When we feel gratefulwe can’t be stressed.

Two long-serving staff membershave been farewelled at David StSchool after serving a combinedtotal of 64 years.

The pair were celebrated at afun and occasionally tearful fare-well at the school on April 15.

Principal Brian Harrop saidthe pair loved the children andhad made a difference at theschool.

‘‘It’s really, really hard to sum

up 25 and 39 years of service to aschool,’’ he said.

‘‘Shirley knows every singleperson in this school and theirhistory, she knows everythingabout the school. We can neverreplace that level of knowledge.’’

Shirley Reid said 39 years hadgone really fast and she wouldmiss the children.

‘‘I’m going to miss you all,you’re like my second family.’’

Harrop also wished LoisSinclair a well-deserved retire-ment and acknowledged her hardwork in planting many trees.

‘‘I thank you for everythingyou’ve done,’’ he said.

Lois Sinclair said she was look-ing forward to spending moretime in her own garden.

‘‘I have enjoyed a lot of mytime here, seeing the childrenlearn and grow up and go off anddo their own things in life,’’ shesaid.

Three other teachers wererecognised for long service,though were not retiring. Theywere Meryl Marks, 28 years;Wendy Borrie, 22 years and JennyBean, 18 years.
