THE THREATBovine tuberculosis control in NewZealand is equally shared betweenGovernment and industry being fundedby central and local government andfrom levies on dairy, beef and deerfarmers. The disease puts NewZealand’s billion-dollar dairy industry atrisk.The first National Pest ManagementStrategy for Bovine Tuberculosis wasapproved by government in 1998. OnJuly 1 2011 a revised strategy came intoeffect called the National PestManagement Plan and provides formeasures to control TB in cattle anddeer herds. New Zealand is considered aworld leader in bovine tuberculosis (TB)management.There are 10 million hectares in NewZealand known to contain TB-infectedwild animals. In 1994 at the peak of theTB crisis in New Zealand there weremore than 1700 infected herds.As at June 2011, there were 77 infectedcattle herds and four infected deerherds.
Dismay over 1080 drop
LVN081113fwpoison2
ON GUARD: Security guards ‘just doing their job’ ensuring nobody interfered withthe 1080 drop.
ByFRANKIEWEBB
Horowhenua lapped up summer sunFriday morning, many people obliviousto the events unfolding in the foothills.
Security guards manned a cordon inFlorida Road, while the thud, thud, thudof helicopters filled the air.
Poison rained down, just as promisedby the Greater Regional WellingtonCouncil, toxic 1080 baits declaring waron the dwindling opossum populationand bovine tuberculosis.
‘‘If it (a drop) happens again in thisarea it would be five to seven yearsaway — if at all,’’ TB Free NZ SouthernNorth Island programme manager AlanInnes said.
In the meantime, the area will bemonitored for toxicity following thelatest drop.
‘‘The (warning) signs will remain upuntil the public health officer is happythere’s no risk,’’ Mr Innes said. ‘‘It couldbe four to six months.’’
An advertisement in last Friday’sChronicle advised the drop would bedone from Monday November 11, MrInnes said an earlier notification waspublished which covered Friday.
‘‘We can’t be totally specific aboutdrop dates as it is weather dependent,’’he said.
Blessed with perfect weather Fridaymorning, Mr Innes said the drop wentwell. Locals didn’t agree.
‘‘It is of concern that the most recentadvertisement placed stated the 1080would be dropped on or after Monday
November 11, when in fact it was doneon Friday November 9,’’ local residentand kennel owner Rosemary Cleatorsaid.
‘‘This could well have led to recrea-tional users of the area believing theycould go tramping, possibly even withdogs, over the weekend.’’
When it was realised the drop was togo ahead on Friday morning a smallgroup of protesters hastily assemblednear the helicopter loading site.
‘‘It is of great concern that the poisonhas been spread so close to popularreserves just as the weather is warmingup and families are visiting the area,’’Mrs Cleator said.
The advertisement warned 1080
would be spread within 300m of Glad-stone reserve and 200m of the WaikawaShelter.
‘‘I went into the area on Sunday afterthe drop,’’ hunter Dave Gatchell said.
‘‘There were baits on grazing land, inwater ways which feed the Horowhenuawater supply.’’
Mr Gatchell is concerned there is noantidote for the poison.
‘ ‘ I t ki l ls just about everywarmblooded thing,’’ he said. ‘‘I believethere are cheaper, safer ways to do thiswhich would only effect targetedspecies.’’
He plans to return to the area in afortnight to see how other wildlife hasbeen effected.

YOUR VIEWS
Euthanasia billLabour MP Maryan Street recentlywithdrew her private members billattempting to decriminalise assistedsuicide or euthanasia. This wasapplauded by Bob McCoskrie, NationalDirector of Family First NZ.
Our society once operated on asanctity of life ethic; namely, a personhad an inherent right to life simplybecause they were human and wereconsidered human because they werealive.
Dr John MacArthur, President ofMasters Bible Seminary, California hasobserved that there has been a shift inrecent years toward a quality of lifeethic rather than a sanctity of life ethic.This new ethic basically says a persondoesn’t have a right to live simplybecause he’s human. A person only hasa right to live if he meets certaincriteria, certain qualities. If he fails tomeet the criteria, he doesn’t have therights of a human including the right tolive.
The withdrawal of the bill provides arespite for some people until after the2014 general election when it is likely toreappear. (abridged)

Council remunerationA recent agreed payout to thedeparting chief executive of theChristchurch City Council once againhighlights the cost to local ratepayersthroughtout New Zealand when acouncil chief executive either resignshis or her position on a voluntarybasis or fails to have his or heremployment contract renewed by theparticular Local Authority.
In the case of the departing Christ-church City Council chief executive itwould appear from a recent printmedia report that the chief executivewill receive a payout of approximately$270,000 on top of his weekly salarypayment of $10,325 up until he leavesthe council position on November 30.
After six years in the chief executive’schair, the final payout would appearto be a substantial ‘‘golden hand-shake’’.
With reported Local GovernmentManagerial salaries ranging between$100,000 and $419,000, it is no wonderthat any vacant Local Body Manage-ment position attracts a considerablenumber of applicants.
With the distinct possibility ofnationwide Local Government reformduring the 2013-2016 electoral cycle itis to be hoped that a salary cap will beintroduced by the Government tocontrol the expenditure of ratepayersfunds on high managerial salaries andalso control the level of golden hand-shakes paid out to unsuccessful seniorcouncil managers. In any future LocalGovernment reorganisation in Horo-whenua, hopefully the elected repre-sentatives will have a positive role inmanagerial staff selection and salarypackages. (abridged)

Alcohol remainsfactor in violenceBy PETER FRANKLIN
Horowhenua police have beencalled to 53 incidents of familyviolence in the past 14 days.Police family violence co-ordinator Sergeant Martin Bullsaid disappointingly 25 of theminvolved alcohol. In 10 casespeople were arrested andcharged.
A 34-year-old man wascharged with assault with intentto injure, a 50-year-old mancharged with common assaultand a 20-year-old man chargedwith breach of protection orderand unlawful taking a motorvehicle.
A 42-year-old male wascharged with common assaultand wilful damage, a 39-year-oldman was charged with breach ofprotection order, assault andpossession of a weapon and a45-year-old man was chargedwith common assault and maleassaults female.

Mr Bull said a disturbingtrend in the above was the age ofthe offenders. A lot of them werein their late 30s and older.‘‘People who I thought wouldhave been more mature andhave better skills when dealingwith conflict.’’
With the Christmas periodapproaching, it is importantthat people recognise it can be astressful time.

AMAZ-ING Horowhenua’s Amaze Dance Crew after winning their second competition.
with SUEHORI TE PA
HOROWHENUA SOCIAL SECTOR TRIAL NEWS
A highlight of October was attending theMidCentral Health Awards where theCommunity Wellbeing Executive, Life tothe Max and Social Sector Trial won theaward for Excellence in IntersectoralCollaboration to Improve Health andSocial Outcomes.
Our nomination focused on ourcollaborative approach to increasing
youth healthservices,establishing asecond AoDcounsellorposition, the anti-sale of legal highscampaign, youthco-ordinatorsupport and youthdevelopmentprogrammes.
Theseprogrammes
include CACTUS Programme and Life tothe Max skills-based ‘Awhi Programme’in which there is a health and wellbeingcomponent.
The nomination also included theestablishment of a Health WorkforceTrust to look at GP attraction andretention. It was an honour to berecognised for our work ahead of 10 othernominations. Well done to all involved.
As we are nearing the end of the schoolyear, for some students interest drops offand they start making excuses to stay athome. Allowing young people to skipschool gives the wrong message that theireducation is not valued.
It is vital to stress to young people theimportance of attending school all day,every day. As well as being a requirementby law, it is in the young person’s bestinterests to remain engaged in school
right through to the end of the school year.A group of spectacular young dancers,
who formed after participating in theAmaze Dance Programme in July, placedhighly at two Palmerston North dancecompetitions recently.
They won the Hip Hop section in thePalmerston North Dance Associationcompetition and were also awarded the
cup for Best Group overall. The followingweek they entered the Dance NZ Madecompetition competing againstexperienced hip hop, jazz andcontemporary groups. The crew wasextremely excited to be placed first intheir section and to top it off they wereawarded a trophy for highest scoringgroup across all of the sections.
This is an outstanding achievement fora crew who are totally self led.
Acknowledgement must go to RohaTaiapa who choreographs the crew’sfabulous dance routines. The crew isgrateful to be able to utilise Te TakereYouth Space for practices. You can catchthe Amaze Dance Crew at the East SchoolGala today.

COPDChronic obstructive pulmonarydisease is estimated to affect 15 percent of New Zealanders over the ageof 45.A major cause of ill health, disabilityand death, COPD is the fourth mostcommon death in New Zealand.Maori are twice as likely as non-Maori to have COPD.There are often no obvioussymptoms while lungs are beingdamaged so, when symptoms dooccur, the damage is already done.The most common cause of COPD issmoking. Symptoms of COPDinclude: shortness of breath,difficulty breathing whileexercising, a persistent cough,presence of phlegm, winterbronchitis, wheezing. (Symptomscan be similar to asthma but the twoare quite different conditions.)Damage is irreversible but can becontrolled to prevent furtherdamage.A simple lung function test(spirometry) is available free atpublic hospitals or at your local GP/medical centre where a charge mayapply.
By TANYAWOOD
Constant wheezing, coughing andshortness of breath in older people canoften be a sign of chronic obstructivepulmonary disease (COPD).
The term COPD covers conditionssuch as emphysema and chronicbronchitis and means breathingpassages in the lungs are blocked andlung tissue is damaged.
There is no cure, but there is helpand support on hand for Horowhenuaresidents to manage and control thecondition.
Karen Morow-Griffin has hadbronchitis since childhood and knowsfirst-hand how debilitating andisolating the condition can be.
‘‘Even just crossing the room toanswer the phone can leave mebreathless, and people start apologisingfor making me run.’’
She says many people avoid goingout if they are constantly coughing upphlegm and she herself became a bit of arecluse at one time.
However, as vice-president of theHorowhenua Breathe Easy SupportGroup, Karen is encouraging anyone inthe same boat to ‘‘come along and have agood cough with us’’.
‘‘We’ve all got the same problem sono one is going to take any notice of youchoking, coughing or spluttering.’’
The group meets once a month andhas become a social gathering andsupport network for sufferers of allrespiratory diseases, as well as theircarers and family members.
If you would like to know more aboutCOPD, members of the HorowhenuaBreathe Easy Support Group will be atTe Takere on November 20, from 9am,supporting World COPD Day 2013.
Horowhenua Breathe Easy SupportGroup meets the fourth Thursday ofevery month (except December) from10.15am at the Hudson Room, LevinCosmopolitan Club, Oxford Street.

Avoid tragedy —vaccinate your dogBy FRANKIEWEBB
Plans to take your canine companion onholiday, to the beach or even for a walkwhere other dogs may have been couldresult in tragedy if your dog’svaccinations aren’t up to date.
Canine parvo virus is a year-roundproblem in Horowhenua.
‘‘In the South Island it is less commonbecause the virus doesn’t survive inexcessively hot or cold conditions.Horowhenua doesn’t get excessiveeither way so the disease is here all yearround,’’ Dr Simon Clark, head small-animal veterinarian at Levin and
Horowhenua Veterinary Centre, said.In an effort to control CPV in
Horowhenua, a clinic for cut-pricevaccinations is operating tomorrow atthe Levin and Horowhenua VeterinaryCentre carpark on the corner of Queenand Cambridge streets, between 2pmand 3pm. No appointment is needed.
‘‘Christmas is coming and the lastthing anyone wants is the loss of a lovedpet and a hefty vet bill,’’ Dr Clark said.
‘‘If you have friends or familybringing the family pooch with them tovisit, check all dogs have beenvaccinated.’’

In fact “ while many people look forward to afulfilling old age, more than one in five adults aged60 and over experience mental or neurologicaldisorders such as dementia and depression”Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon. Sadly New
Zealand statistics tell us mental illness amongolder people often go undetected and there isconcern about recent increases in suicides.
John’s story: John is 74 and was feeling veryunhappy. He came to counselling because hecouldn’t sleep well and was worried abouta couple of matters pertaining to his family.He felt quite alone after his daughter leftto live overseas. His son and family live inChristchurch. The more worried John becamethe more he lost confidence in his decisionsand abilities. After 6 sessions John was thrilled
to report that he had cut back his sleepingmedication and he was feeling more peaceful.He was grateful that we were here and wasgoing to recommend us to any of his friends ifthey were feeling low.

A new state-of-the-art centre at Southern Cross Hospital, Newtown provides vascular and endovascular* surgery at alevel never seen before in the Wellington region. The good news for Palmerston North is that the centre’s pre-eminentvascular surgeon, Mr Kes Wicks, will shortly be consulting in the Manawatu. Treatment of varicose veins may be thefirst thing that comes to mind when talking vascular surgery, but Mr Wicks’ expertise extends to every aspect of hisprofession, his training having taken him to most of the leading centres in Australasia.
“I specialise in treating problems with arteries and veins. Arteries can dilate, often in older patients,sometimes causing strokes or making walking difficult. Dilated arteries around the stomach can causelife-threatening bleeding. Techniques using balloons and stents within the arteries are much better tolerated,particularly by older patients.”
Getting back to those unsightly varicose veins.
Research shows a success rate of 93-98% in patients who have had EVLT treatment for varicose veins.The procedure includes the use of ultrasound to map your veins. Only local anaesthetic may be used rather than ageneral anaesthetic. A thin laser fibre is inserted in a tiny entry point, usually near the knee, and it is the energy fromthe laser which shrinks the vein, preventing the flow of blood There is minor soreness which can be managed withPanadol and minor bruising may result but normal activities can be resumed within 24 hours. Your hospital stay isonly up to 4 hours after the procedure.
• For treatment under local anaesthetic for half the price of surgery and half the recovery time, cal Roz on0508 447 350 for a consultation at Southern Cross Hospital.. Consultation dates are 1st November,28th November, 31st January and 21st February 2012. GP referral is not necessary. All treatment is carried outat Southern Cross Hospital, Newtown.
* A form of minimally invasive surgery designed to access many regions of the body via major blood vessels.

Suzuki lifts the lidon X-LANDER
The radical Suzuki X-LANDER showcar is about to go on display at theupcoming Tokyo Motor Show.
With an eye to individuality, theyprovide a preview of upcoming designsfrom the Japanese motormanufacturer.
Based on the compact Suzuki Jimny,the innovative four-wheel-driveX-LANDER is powered by a 1.3-litreengine and boasts a newly developedautomated manual transmission.
Sporting fat tyres, high groundclearance and a fixed rollover hoop, theX-LANDER resembles a 21st centurybeach buggy. It has a shallow,speedster-like windscreen and looks asstunning at the rear as it is at the front.
The car’s unique styling makes it acrowd-pleaser, but the open top, two-
door model with its hybrid 4WD systemhas the benefit of being highly capableoff-road and environmentally friendly.
While the X-LANDER will be idealout in the field, this futuristic take onsmall 4WD vehicles is also intended tobe a competent city car with its agileresponse and small dimensions.
Meanwhile, Suzuki’s five-door iV-4is a lower medium size Sport UtilityVehicle (SUV) built on a new platform.This model will become a productionreality by 2015 where it is set to join thefastest growing class of cars in Europe.
Slotting in size between the SuzukiSX4 and Grand Vitara, the iV-4 is4215mm long, 1850mm wide and standshigher than an SX4 and lower than theGrand Vitara. It has heavily sculpturedlines, a clam-shell style bonnet and the
five-bar grille which has been ahallmark of Suzuki SUVs.
Notable features include roof-topspotlights, skinny door mirrors, largedaytime running lights and extralighting around the front grille. Suzukiwill offer a high level ofpersonalisation, allowing owners tochoose a range of roof and interiorcolours, along with other options,including a choice of texture for somebody parts.
The iV-4 will have Suzuki’s nextgeneration four-wheel-drive Allgripsystem and will emit extremely low CO2emissions. The car’s name-tagoriginates from the words individuality(i), vehicle (V) and four-wheel-drive (4),but the iV-4 will likely have a differentname when it goes into production.
Subaru to unveil sports tourerSubaru will unveil a new sports tourerprototype, the Levorg, at the TokyoMotor Show, later in November,together with two other world premiereconcepts.
Levorg has a sports car feel with thefocus on safety and environmentalcredentials combined with thepracticality of a touring car. The nameLevorg comes from a combination ofLegacy, revolution and touring.
It is currently under developmentfor production model launch in 2014,for the Japan domestic market.
‘‘This vehicle holds a specialmeaning for us in NZ as it will appeal tothe many Subaru owners of theprevious generation Legacy GT’s whotruly enjoyed these very driver centriccars which seemed they were designedfor Kiwi conditions,’’ said WallisDumper, the managing director ofSubaru of New Zealand.
‘‘We cannot confirm yet if and whenwe will see the Levorg in New Zealandbut we will be trying to access it forsure. Many Kiwi Subaru enthusiastswill be surprised the next generationWRX is not being revealed at Tokyo butmy guess is the USA will enjoy thatmodel’s premiere,’’ said Mr Dumper.
‘‘The USA got to reveal the WRXconcept earlier this year and they are amassive growth market for Subaru at
the moment, almost enjoying the samesort of status Subaru has held in NZ forso many years.’’
The Levorg powertrain features thenewly-developed 1.6-litre horizontally-opposed direct injection turbo (DIT)engine.
Levorg also has Subaru’s next-generation EyeSight driver assistsystem, with many added safetyfunctions and the new steering supportcontrol.
Also debuting at Tokyo will be theCross Sport design concept, Subaru’svision of the next trend in SportsUtility Vehicles.
It has a compact body with anoverall length of just 4300mm, allowingfun driving combined with easy seat
access, a comfortable interior, andabundant luggage space.
The third concept is the Crossover 7— and as the name suggests, it is aseven-seater.
Crossover 7 has a sophisticatedurban look but its exterior also projectsrough-road driving capability.
The interior features smooth tanleather seats, in an elegant and roomyspace. It has a 2.5-litre ‘‘Boxer’’ engineand symmetrical All wheel Drive withSubaru’s Lineartronic transmission.
Subaru will also show the VIZIVEvolution Hybrid Concept, previouslydisplayed at the 2013 GenevaInternational Motor Show with its 1.6litre DIT petrol engine and three electricmotors.
