What’s the future of Boulevard Day?
What did you think of Boulevard Day this year?
Did you come down to the Village and cheer your day with some really money-saving bargains?
Or did you stay away so as not to have to put up with the noise and crowds?
Here at Te Mata Times we have the feeling that maybe some change in the pattern of Boulevard Day might give the whole thing a lift. To try to assess what other people felt, we talked to a number of Havelock North retailers.
We asked them two questions. Did your shop have a satisfactory Boulevard Day? Would you like to see any improvement made in the occasion?
Brian and Maree Kendrick insisted that they were not complaining, but they felt that “it needs new ideas.” They said that they put in a lot of work, but didn’t feel the day was a “great success.” Why not open later that day, they suggested. If we did that we could carry on later at night. Lots of people came later, they found, and said firmly that that was the best time for selling. They’d like to see some particular theme each year – country and western, for example, or perhaps fairy stories. They said they thought that that would give everyone a sense of direction.
Murray Greene, secretary of the Havelock North Retailers’ Association, backs up the idea of a need for something fresh. He thinks there should be an effort to provide some special attraction – perhaps a procession, races for the kids, a creche manned by High School students, that would leave mums and older children to enjoy all that was offering. He thinks the village centre area between Middle Rd and Te Aute Rd, which should be developed by then, would provide an ideal place to provide entertainment for children, a barbecue evening meal and perhaps a western-style sing-along, to finish off a day that had a good few novelties to offer. He’d like to see a pipe band there during the evening as well.
Murray stresses the possibilities for a new look, if all retailers would pull together in a mighty joint effort. He thinks there would be sense in closing off at least some of the streets for some of the time.
We talked to Max Baty at the New World Supermarket as well. Max says that since the supermarket moved round into Porter Drive, Boulevard Day has been one like any other. He would like to see some attraction in Porter Drive, though, because he thinks far too few people go round there at all on Boulevard Day. “It’s our fault,” he added. “We should make the area better.”
Asked to suggest reasons why the day seemed a bit disappointing to him, he said he blamed the “spread” of the Village, and also too little and too late publicity. He says he detects a fair amount of apathy among retailers. “Perhaps the whole thing would be pepped up with a mini ferris wheel,” he suggested.
President of the Havelock North Retailers’ Association, Michael Poppelwell, says he found the day “an exciting one.” He said that the majority of the shops had a good day, but added, “I have to admit there’s a terrible sameness about it.” He pointed out that a similar occasion had been held on a Saturday, without noticeable improvement in the number of people attracted to attend. He is clear that there will only be improvement in response to additional effort – “and who’s going to make it?” Michael sees the main difficulties in the way of improving the whole occasion, are the problem of getting people to co-operate, and the fact that business are small and employ relatively few. Any effort takes time and that’s hard to find.
Verna Scott, of Havelock North Jewellers, said that she found Boulevard Day successful. “But then we planned for it,” she explained. She thinks the whole concept is quite a good idea, but it’s up to the individual.
“It always suits some and not others,” says Bob Frater. “We had a record day.” Bob thinks the bargain hunters are all there in the first two hours and come knowing what they want. He said that he thought there were fewer people in total than often in the past, and that some thought should be given about how to attract back to the Village the large numbers who were often present in earlier years.

David Lange in Hastings
The Leader of the Opposition, Mr David Lange, in Hastings for an afternoon on Tuesday, November 15, said that he was here as part of a broad sweep over New Zealand.
Asked his opinion of government by regulation, he said that until now he had believed that a government was held to account in Parliament. He stated that he saw the interest regulations as being exactly the opposition of what the National Party has always preached. He observed, he said, a tremendous determination on the Government’s part to avoid standing up for their principles. He deplored the fact that discussion on the interest regulations was promised for a time three weeks away. “That debate is likely to happen when the Prime Minister is in New Delhi,” he said.
Mr Lange predicted that there was no chance the Government would hold the inflation rate at 3.7 per cent. “If the Prime Minister believed he could hold the rate at 3.7 per cent, why borrow at a rate of 10.9 per cent. Next year he will put inflation on probation,” he laughed. “It’s in goal at present.”
Speaking about the future of universal superannuation, Mr Lange said that this was sustainable, because there was an assurance of growth. “The Labour Party’s policy and criteria for superannuation will be the same,” he said.
Commenting on a widespread fear that New Zealand would not be able to sell its primary produce, David Lange said that he believed that we were good at producing, but not sensitive enough about the needs of the market.
In answer to another question, he said that he favoured a four-year term for Parliament. A commission might be appointed to investigate the question and its report used as a basis for change.
David Lange spoke with some force on people’s right to a tertiary education. “I went to university when you went to be educated, not to get a degree,” he laughed. He said that he believed tertiary education should be available for all, but student performance would be part of the whole system.
Senior prize winners at High School
The senior prizegiving for Havelock North High School was held at the school on Thursday, November 10.
In speaking to those present, Mr David Barham dealt with the increase in the school roll, brought about by the greater numbers staying longer at school than formerly, because of difficulty in finding work, and the increasing number of girl students who stay at school for a sixth form or seventh form year.
Dux of the school this year was Fiona Harper.

Thinking Point Living alone
It’s said that loneliness is one of the social evils of our time. However, you define loneliness, it feels horrible.
The majority of people who live alone do not do so from choice. Certainly our society is geared to pairs of people, or larger groups. Our so-called “high mobility” society no longer provides an encompassing family for many of us. Days when a lone member of a family could depend on numerous relatives to provide companionship appear to have vanished – perhaps forever.
It is better to live alone than with someone who is incompatible. However, sharing even the more tiresome chores is loads pleasanter than managing them on your own. Weeding the garden, washing dishes, tidying a room, eating a meal are only a few activities which are much better shared. Even comfortable silence shared is mostly preferable to solitary quiet.
There are a lot of lonely people. Is there any cure?
There are obvious solutions to the problem – joining a group, asking someone in for a meal, going out more. But these don’t provide all the answers, or even the answers for every lonely person. Many older people haven’t the energy to do more than chat over a cup of tea in their own homes.
Younger people who are lonely, fill their days with activity in a job and on committees, not necessarily alleviating the isolation, but leaving themselves less time to think about it.
In our last issue we wrote about the learning exchange now operating from the library. If you have skills you can teach, or wish to learn something, you can register with the exchange and hope to make contact with someone appropriate to your needs. Then there are the Drop In Centre, the Friendship Club and a number of other groups which aim to bring people together. But some people are just as lonely in that sort of group, as if they had stayed at home. Once a week or once a month is not true companionship.
If the community had more time to be supportive, the loneliness of many older people would be lessened. There are younger people who are unemployed, or who have been unable to return to work. Their numbers will increase.
Could we start a Friendship Bank in Havelock North? Do we need somewhere where loneliness can be registered and free time offered? How many lonely people live in your street?
Messiah Sing-in
Of the eight soloists for the Hastings Operatic Society’s Messiah Sing-In four are from Havelock North.
Daryn Edmundson
Daryn has always sung in choirs and played in school orchestras, playing both violin and piano. Aged 20 she decide to specialise in voice. She has her A.T.C.L., L.T.C.L., and F.T.C.L. in solo singing and also a bachelor of music. Daryn has taught secondary school music for the last 5 years and next year will be itinerant singing teacher in the Havelock and Hastings area.
Daryn was a founder member of the New Zealand Youth Choir and sang with them from 1979-1982. She was on Tour last year and will always remember the marvellous experience of the choir singing with Kiri Te Kanawa. Daryn’s interests lie in choral direction and choral singing and she is a member of the Hawke’s Bay Song and Opera Workshop.
Margaret Percy
Margaret’s mother was a music teacher so her interest goes back a long way. She started serious singing with the Wellington Harmonic Society under the baton of Temple White, before he retired. For many years she learned piano and at the moment is working with the Hawke’s Bay Song and Opera Workshop. Margaret has worked with the Hastings Operatic Society for a number of years and is the choir mistress at Our Lady of Lourdes Church in Havelock North.
Roger Stevenson
Roger is from a musical family and is one of four brothers who all sing. He has his L.T.C.L. and F.T.C.L. in singing and class music teaching. For the last decade he has been very involved in solo singing and has a long involvement with the Civic Choir. He has also trained under Beatrice Webster.
Roger is well known in Havelock North for his music teaching at the Havelock North High School. He joined the school in 1976 after 11 years’ primary service.
Last weekend Roger was in Taupo conducting a Messiah Sing-In.
Jenny Leu Williams
Jenny started singing in local school choirs and in St Luke’s Choir. Whilst at Victoria University she joined their choir and studied voice with the late Anna Ginn of Wellington. When Jenny was in London she sang for a time with the Bach Choir. Jenny has sung with the Hastings Operatic Society on and off for many years and about four years ago took up solo singing again, training under Dawn Unsworth, Joan Holder and more recently with Beatrice Walker. She is singing at the moment with the Hawke’s Bay Song and Opera Workshop.
The other four soloists in the Messiah Sing-In are:- Maureen Brady and Haldane Scougall of Hastings and Judith Howlett and Eve Weir of Napier. The accompanying organist is Corrie Hughes and conductor Nanette Roberts both of Hastings. The guest organist to play the Pastoral Sympathy is Margaret Cooper of Havelock North.
Margaret Cooper
Margaret started playing piano aged 8, and has sung in choirs and also the Messiah since she was 14. She belonged to a country church and started accompanying on their organ at 14. Margaret has her A.T.C.L. and L.T.C.L. in piano and trained under Sister Mary Henry (who is an honorary member of Trinity College.) Accompanying is one of Margaret’s main loves and she has been involved in school music for many years.
The Messiah Sing-In is to be held in St Andrew’s Church, Hastings, on Friday, December 2 at 7pm and Sunday, December 4 at 4 pm. This will be a musical experience for all age groups and singers and non-singers are all welcome. Admission is free but donations will be accepted.
Run for fun Dec 7
Do you take advantage of daylight saving and go for an evening run?
The Hawke’s Bay Fletcher Marathon Clinic have begun their twilight run programme again. Every Wednesday evening, leaving from the Havelock North Tavern at 6.30pm, two separate runs are held. One is a 10km run round the Havelock hills and the other a 10km run on the flats.
Clinic runners suggest that if you see a large group of runners at the time on a Wednesday, you might give them an encouraging wave and call a greeting. They feel this will help them on their energetic way.
The clinic is organising a Fun Run, to be held on Wednesday, December 7, leaving the Havelock North Tavern at 6.30pm. This will be a 10km run, for an entrance fee of $1. You don’t have to belong to the Fletcher Marathon Clinic to take part in this run. All you need is a pair of running shoes and a lot of energy and enthusiasm, to join in the fun. Encouragement from residents who are not participating would be appreciated on this occasion too. The organisers ask you to give the runners your support.

Fruitful letters
Near the beginning of the year, during apple harvesting, two standard classes from Te Mata School went to Roils’ orchard for a class trip.
As part of a follow-up to the trip, the children wrote letters about themselves. These were then put into apple boxes which were being exported overseas. So far this year, three children have received letters in answer.
Rochelle Ashcroft received a letter from a girl who lives in the capital of Finland, Helsinki. The New Zealand apples had travelled to their shop market “Suihkola Oy.” Wendy Field also received a letter from Finland, from the city of Pori. A reply to Sarah van Asch’s letter came from Atlanta, Georgia, in the U.S.A.
The correspondence has been great, not only for the children who received the letters, but also for others in the class. It gives an idea of how far our New Zealand apples do actually travel. The three girls are being encouraged to keep up their correspondence with their new pen pals and the rest of the children hope that one day they may get a reply to the letters they sent.

Have you spare love or spare gear?
Would you be willing to foster someone else’s child for a short time, or perhaps on an indefinite basis?
A foster child is unlikely to be a curly headed, sweet, innocent, round-eyed toddler. More probably he will be adolescent, running away from his own parents, confused, unhappy.
The Department of Social Welfare has to meet the needs of a great many young people, often at very short notice. Often care for a short term is required for a teenager who has run away from home. Many of these children have been in trouble for one kind of law breaking or another. Their background is likely to have made them feel the world has no place for them.
Foster parents are wanted who can accept children who may have serious problems. Understanding, mature adults who can accept this kind of difficulty, be aware of differences in background, and still accept young people with care and an appreciation of both their difficulties and their unrealised potential, are needed.
When long term foster parents are sought, the Department of Social Welfare, gets the children to set out their needs and may advertise on this basis. But as well as the long term needs, there are a great variety of short term ones that need to be met.
Many children receive help from the department, without being State wards or in care. These youngsters may not have sufficient financial backing from home to enable them to go on class trips, or do other things which other people in their age group can do. So the department also has to meet requests for sports gear, tramping equipment, and bikes. Social Welfare Department staff are becoming increasingly concerned at the scope of items on lists for school trips, which are often most sophisticated and costly – far beyond the range of the department to supply, and, staff suspect, many parents likewise. One list seen recently by a member of the department, demanded two full sets of woollen underwear to accompany each participant.
If you feel you could be a temporary foster parent in the sort of situation outlined above, the Department of Social Welfare would like to hear from you.
If you have any spare sleeping bags, packs, bicycles, or other similar gear lying round at home, unused, the Department of Social Welfare could make good use of it.
In either case telephone 88 007, between 9am and 4.30pm on week days.
Timely lines
If you see in any given situation only what everybody else sees, you can be said to be so much a representative of your culture that you are a victim of it. S. I. Hayakawa.

RELIEF FOSTER PARENTS
The Department of Social Welfare operates two family homes in Havelock North. The foster parents in charge of these homes are able to take three weeks holiday every year, as well as the equivalent of one free weekend each month. Up to four weeks sick leave every year is also allowed. At these times relief staff are needed to care for the children placed in the homes, and to see to the day to day responsibilities in the family home. A room is provided at the family home for the relievers, and a salary will be paid for the period they are relieving.

FOSTER PARENTS
For a departmental family in Hastings. These must be a a married couple who work well as a team, with children. They may have children of their own. But preferably no more than two now at home. They may be responsible for up to six foster children. Home help is provided. Board is paid to the foster mother for running the home and payment is also made to her for a range of other services she provides. The house is occupied free of charge. Her husband would be expected to work at his ordinary employment. The job is a challenging one and both parents need to love and understand children and to be able to devote a great deal of time to their care and needs. Many of the children are adolescents.
Patience, a sense of humour and good health would all assist the foster parents, who would need to be able to create a team situation between themselves, the children under their care, schools and the children’s natural parents.
This is a demanding, challenging job. Which is personally rewarding. There is annual leave and relief help is provided to allow one free weekend each month.
Inquiries should be made to:

Selling flowers the continental way
According to Nicky at Harper’s Bazaar, people buy flowers on sunny days when they’re in spontaneous moods.
So those are the days when she piles her barrel with masses of fresh flowers. On overcast days business is quieter and the wagon accordingly a little less colourful; but it still adds a bright spot to Havelock North every Thursday and Saturday, and to Hastings on Wednesdays and Fridays.
Nicky Harper brought the idea back from Europe where she “always bought flowers from barrels.” She was originally from Havelock North but spent 5 years in Sydney followed by a few months in the United States and then by 2 years in Europe where she worked as a cook, first on a yacht around the coast of Greece, and later at Lucy’s cafe in Munich. Now back in Hawke’s Bay, she sells fresh flowers, old-fashioned ornamental herbs, and dried flowers in baskets or bunches. She also has hopes of selling colourful fruit like cherries and strawberries which would fit in well with her flowers.
The way the wagon looks is important to Nicky. She designed it herself and handed the plans to Mark Dawson, a carpenter in Waimarama who had already demonstrated his interest in unusual projects by building a trailer-home for a travelling artist. He not only built the wagon to Nicky’s specifications but also managed to find an old trailer with just the sort of wheels she was looking for. The top of the wagon was built from tobacco boxes which were obtained free from Rothmans. The lovely old stained glass windows had been in a wardrobe for years, but were produced at just the right time by a helpful flatmate.
Now the wagon is becoming a familiar sight in Havelock North. It may well become even more familiar since Nicky is interested in hiring it out (without the flowers) for galas, festivals or other functions. She is also hoping to find a local source of supply for her flowers, since at present they are all brought in by bus from Palmerston North.

Field Service cultural exchange benefits students
Last year 168 New Zealanders went overseas on the American Field Service’s cultural exchange programme.
They went to 14 different countries, including those as culturally diverse as Finland, Uraguay [Uruguay], and Thailand. This is a dramatic change from 12 years ago. AFS students until that time went only to the United States. More changes are expected, with Peru, Greece, Italy and Spain as possible destinations for New Zealand students during the next year or two. New Zealand is also to initiate exchanges with Fiji, Tonga and Papua New Guinea.
The programme is not only growing, but is also developing in different directions. A multi-national work project is being planned for Papua – New Guinea.
This represents a totally new approach. The idea of domestic exchanges for students within New Zealand is one with interesting possibilities. It was suggested by the national President in his annual report.
Most AFS students go either for a full academic year, or for a period of two to three months on what is called the “short programme.” They are recruited directly from schools. Before applications open each year the selection co-ordinator visits schools and gives information about the programme. The selection process takes several months and includes group activities as well as interviews.
Parents of successful applicants pay a participation fee which covers travel expenses, orientation costs, and a small monthly allowance. Assistance is possible in some cases for applicants whose parents cannot meet these costs.
Host families undertake to provide not only food and lodging but also love and affection. They are first interviewed by members of the local AFS group, but final selection is made by the national office in New Zealand and the international office in New York.
If you would like to know more about the scheme, information is available from Mrs Judith Palmer, phone 778 185.

Judokan Club member wins silver medal
Judo teams from clubs within the Waikato and Bay of Plenty areas held a tournament in Taupo on November 13, with two clubs from the East Coast area participating.
These two clubs were the Gisborne Judo Club and the Judokan Club from Hastings. Philip Nicholls, 13, a member of the Judokan Club, who has been training for only six months, completed very successfully at the tournament, winning a silver medal in his weight division – 53kg. He also fought in the open division, which gained him promotion for his outstanding ability as a junior judokan.
Phillip is trained by Mr. Tom Gillies, Waimarama, who is the instructor for the Judokan Club. The Judokan Club now has 22 boys and girls under training, aged from nine years up to 24. “Many girls take up judo for self defence,” Mr Tom Gillies says.
Any inquiries about the club may be made to phone 786 824 or phone 65 476.

Havelock WDFF
The November meeting of the Havelock North branch of WDFF was held at Farming House, Hastings. The president welcomed a good attendance of members and visitors, including Mrs Elsie Redfern, a past-president of the branch.
One crocheted baby blanket, and a large number of peggy squares were forwarded to headquarters to be sent to the Pacific Islands, where local women join the squares into blankets.
Gifts were presented to members having birthdays during the month.
Mrs Elsie McInnes then spoke about her recent visit to Vancouver, where she was one of the five New Zealand representatives of the WDFF at a conference of the Associated Countrywomen of the World. Members showed great interest in the aims and work of ACWW.
Competition results were as follows:- Large bloom: 1st equal, Mrs Rosvall and Mrs Burns. Small bloom: Mrs Burns 1, Mrs Spotswood 2, Mrs Mitchell 3. Cluster: Mrs Rosval 1, Mrs Burns 2, Mrs Mitchell 3. Shrub: Mrs Burns 1, Mrs Mitchell 2, Mrs Godfrey 3. Decorative: Mrs Godfrey 1, Mrs Crawley 2. Cooking: Mrs Mitchell 1, Mrs Percival 2, Mrs Steenson 3. Sewing: Mrs Godfrey. Crochet: Mrs Gradwell.
discerning eye
Guy Fawkes has come and gone with its usual burst of colours and bangs, but colours still abound. We may all feel a guy at times, but nobody could look one in the feast of shades apparent in the shops bursting into a blaze of summer. I didn’t need a rocket to propel me into the town – not even a Catherine wheel to speed me on my way. Trouble is, sampling the wares of a delectable delicatessen made me wonder if I’d be able to pour myself into the superb clothes. I hope that’s not your problem.
“Accent” really is accented at Elizabeth Home, Heretaunga St., West Hastings. Their supplementary summer range is delightful. A beautiful cream suit with horizontal slub stripes of apricot and beige on a cream background caught my eye. The jacket features a mandarin collar, with the skirt having a hip yoke. Knife pleats and side buttoning give a distinctive look. In pure silk to enhance a top fashion style and feel. The bloom of spring was evident in a glorious circular pale peach-pink skirt in cotton. Another frock, pale caramel, had a wide tie belt, yarn dyed check, simple but so stylish.
“Pantry” is a word that evokes a memory of goodies, memories of what mother made. I suggest better than most mothers made, is the fine range of foods at the Pantry, Stortford Lodge. Noel Crawford cooks and presents an array of exclusive pates, terrines, salamis, pickles and salad dressings, to name a few, all made in his shop. As if this weren’t sufficient, he caters for all occasions – business functions, parties and weddings. He accepts telephone orders and will arrange delivery to city or country clients. Only natural ingredients are used in his foodstuffs. Make a mouthwatering trip to the Pantry – a gourmet delight.
Powder blue, pale pink and creamy vanilla. It sounds like a bouquet of delicately tinted flowers. But it describes the heavenly shades of three beautiful frocks in Sally-Anne’s, Middle Road. Made by Betsy Ruff and obtainable only in Havelock North. They are pure silk, highlighted with narrow embossed stripes of the same colour. An original feature of these dresses, is that they are double-skirted, the outer skirt being detachable if one desired. Points that appeal to me, are the wide, soft-tie belt and the covered buttons on the back of the bodice. Three-quarter sleeves ending in an unusual cuff, are quite distinctive.
With a climate like ours, eating outdoors is as natural as breathing. Apart from the food, Town and Country, Russell St., Hastings, supply all the family needs. From Hellers, bakelite mugs, plates and cutlery in growing colours, plus unbreakable tumblers in all sizes. Don’t want to tote a cumbersome basket? Delightful picnic bags in soft vinyl are the answer – also by Hellers. To top it all, literally, fabulous canvas umbrellas in strong primary tones of red, blue or green, or striped red/white, blue/white, green/blue, crown one into a shade. Grey paper napkins and fun aprons for the barbecue expert are also in stock.
Clothes that are interesting and different, but really speak of ‘today’ – that’s what I found at Clothesline in Napier Road, Havelock North. A red and white jump suit, made by Soo-Kim, is really fetching, with its wide red leather tie, and cuffs of white eyelet cotton. Japanese influence is evident, in a silk hopsack jacket, and Zambisi has designed also, a black patched cotton skirt, the hem ending in an intriguing uneven point. Novel tops to wear over swim suits or T. Shirts, are in pale khaki and cream. The distinctive aspect of these, is that they appear to be a marvellous collection of holes joined in pure cotton – real air conditioning!
William McGonagall had the dubious distinction of being regarded as the world’s worst poet. I doubt that he could beat this!
Guys may come and guys may go
And boulevards be over
From rushing madly round in life
It’s good to quietly hover.
But now and then I feel the urge
to be a four-wheeled rover.
With sunny skies and cooling showers,
Who needs a bed of clover?

Unusual craft display
Morning tea and a display of crafts from other countries was held by the Keirunga Spinners and Weavers on Tuesday, November 8.
The display included items from Norway, Holland, Sweden, Japan and Mexico. This was another enjoyable and successful fund-raising venture toward the new building at Keirunga. Seventy members and their friends attended.
The Spinners and Weavers wish to thank their friends for the loan of a number of items of work, some of them precious heirlooms and others gathered during overseas trips. They believe this successful event could be repeated on a larger scale for public viewing.

Are you a piano that no one wants?
We want you!
We are the mums of the Havelock North Play Centre.
We desperately need a piano in reasonable condition for our children. We need music in our play centre and you could give it to us. Our piano has given up completely. And we need another to take its place.
If you can help us in any way, please phone either Vanessa, 776 052, or Jan, 778 969.
Dear piano – we would welcome you.
Nice things for you
Nice Things is our newest boutique – situated in the office rooms at the back of the building which houses Peter Foot’s dental surgery.
It’s well sign-posted, but you need to go down the alley beside Curtis Fabrics, to find the shop.
Once inside you will meet Shirley Westerman, whose brain-child the shop is. She has assembled a delightful collection of hand-made items – some hand woven. There are toys, hand-knitted clothing for children and adults, some very fine examples of patchwork, used in cushions, oven cloths and pot holders. There are also some lovely hand-made Christmas tree decorations.
This is certainly a place to go at this time of year, when you are searching for inspiration for Christmas.
Mini Gala Nov. 26
A Mini Gala will be a point of interest in the village on Saturday, November 26.
Held by the Havelock North Wanderers’ Football Club, the gala will be to raise funds for the club, which is a very active Havelock sports body.
There will be a cake stall, produce items, a white elephant stall, a turkey and chicken wheel and raffles.
All this will begin at 9am on Saturday, November 26, in the car park opposite the Havelock North Tavern.
Be there for some goodies and to support the Wanderers.
Resource place for disabled
Abilities Hawke’s Bay has just begun business in Nelson St South.
It is an organisation which seeks to promote the independence and quality of life of disabled people. It has created a centre which will be able to provide information on all matters concerning disability. Members of the public are welcome to use the resources of the centre.
It will incorporate an information bank, which will make its knowledge of services available to both the disabled and the able-bodied.
There is also a drop-in centre, which provides a meeting ground for disabled people and their friends, with a kitchen where light refreshments may be made.
Abilities HB believes that it has a role in education, firstly by using people with specialised knowledge on a consultative basis and secondary to promote knowledge and understanding among the public.
Craft work made by disabled people will be available there for sale, and the building will provide some limited space for people to work at their crafts there.
Abilities would welcome your interests and support, especially if you are disabled. Call in at the centre or phone the secretary, 89 628.
Charity bowls tourney
Held recently on the Havelock North Bowling Club’s greens, was a Charity Tournament, with twenty-two teams participating.
This event produced a great day’s bowling as well as a sum of $150 which the Pekeke Lions have given to the Cranford Hospice. The day’s enjoyment was certainly enhanced by the tourney management of Jessie Hortop and Gordon King, the catering of Dawn Bennett’s ladies and the green preparation of Don Clapperton.
At the end of the scheduled play of four games, two teams had tied, with 55 points each. In a short play-off, Tony Hill’s four from Port Ahuriri won from Bruce Ballinger’s team from Marewa. A very close third on 54 points was the Hastings team of Laurie Columbus.
Bowling club’s champs fours
Havelock North Bowling Club championship fours are being played on the 2-life system and have been in progress over the last three weekends.
The results up to the final stage are as follows:-
First round (winning skips): Harry Mitchell, Brian Barker, Leon Wood, Fred Petersen, Trevor Jeffries, Eric Coombe and Don Reyland.
Second round: Barker, Wood, Jeffries, Reyland, Bill Symons, Don Eyles and Gordon King.
Third round: Barker and Reyland (2-lifers), Eyles, King, Petersen(1-lifers).
Fourth round: Reyland beat Eyles: King beat Petersen and Jeffries beat Wood. Barker the bye.
Fifth round: Barker with Ian Mason, Gary Tomlin and Bob Hall, beat Reyland, Frank Dingley, Doug Turner and Peter Morrison. Jeffries with Harold Stewart, Joe Hibbert and Innes Nisbet beat Gordon, Colin Wilkinson, Bruce Duke and Charles Smith.
First semi-final: Barker beat Reyland, Jeffries the bye.
Thus Barker’s unbeaten four is to meet the one-lifer Jeffries in a very interesting final (or a second semi-final).

Running duo
This year Havelock North High School will lose two outstanding athletes.
The girls are Hilda Mount and Andrea Beale. Hilda will spend next year at Trentham, studying podiatry at the Central Institute of Technology, and Andrea hopes to be able to take up a scholarship in athletics offered to her by the University of Oklahoma.
Provided the final details of Andrea’s acceptance are arranged, the university will pay all of her fees and board, leaving her parents only responsible for her air fares to and from the USA. She hopes to be able to join her class in January. She is “very excited,” she says. The thrill has been growing ever since the day a couple of months ago when Arthur Lydiard offered her the opportunity to go.
As well as her athletic training, Andrea will have to fit in four years of solid work toward a degree in some para-medical field. At the end of the course, she expects to have to come home, since there will be no way that she is eligible to work in the United States.
However, she has great hopes of furthering her athletic career, as well, and would like to try for Olympic selection or to represent New Zealand in some other area of international athletics.
Andrea remarks that she owes a great debt to Mr Roger Booth of the Havelock North High School for all the time and care he has put into her training. As well as the effort you must give to training yourself, you need a good coach, she says. She is quick to explain that all the effort was worth it.
Andrea’s athletics career began with second placing in the School Road Race in September 1979. Less than three months later as a tiny thirteen-year-old she placed 13th of 240 at the New Zealand Secondary Schools Championships Road Race in Christchurch.
Over five years Andrea has competed in six New Zealand secondary schools championships with an outstanding record of success.
In 1980 she finished seventh of 243 in Hastings in the New Zealand Road event. The same year she won the Hawke’s Bay Secondary Schools Junior Cross Country with a faster time than the winner of the senior event that year, and she also won the Hawke’s Bay Under-16 Road and Junior 3000m track titles.
In 1981 Andrea ran her first New Zealand Secondary Schools Cross Country, at Stratford, and she finished eighth in a huge field of 331.
As a Senior in 1982, Andrea kept up her rating with seventh placing of 151 at Oamaru, but while preparing for the Road Race later in the year she suffered a stress fracture in her foot and as a consequence was out for the bulk of the track season.
Just back into training she was fifth in the 3000 metres and sixth in the 1500 metres at the North Island Secondary Schools event at Hamilton in March this year.
In the New Zealand Secondary Schools Cross Country event at Paeroa in June, Andrea chased her way through the field to finish ninth but missed a deserved place in the New Zealand team.
Two weeks later Andrea had her best result in open competition. Competing in a Senior Women’s representative event between representative teams of Wellington, Taranaki, West Coast (N.I.) and Hawke’s Bay, she finished second.
Hilda Mount came to High School after some good results at intermediate School.
In her first New Zealand Secondary Schools event, the Road Race at Hastings, she was fourth.
Her best results came at Hamilton in December, 1981. In two days she won two New Zealand titles. Firstly she sprinted away from the field to take the 3000 metres track title in a record of 13m 42.6s. The next day she led in the Road Race field including our winning team of Andrea and Lisa Hanna.
In the same year Hilda won eight Hawke’s Bay titles and was also placed fourth in the North Island Secondary Schools 1500 metres event and won the Pahiatua Invitation Junior Road Race.
In 1982 Hilda had a mixed year. She won eight Hawke’s Bay titles but had less success in North Island and New Zealand events as a first-year senior.
This year she has won another seven Hawke’s Bay titles and placed third in the North Island Secondary Schools 1500 metres event in a good time of 4m 47.4s. In four years Hilda has won 24 titles and broken six records.
Hilda is looking forward to the beginning of her three-year course in Trentham next year. While seeing that her podiatry course will demand general experience of foot health and problems, she hopes to that ion the end she will be able to specialise in the problem of athletes and sportspeople generally.
Hilda, too, would like to be able to go to the United Schools, to travel generally and to be able to represent New Zealand overseas. Her immediate future is complicated by the fact that she is not yet in a position where she can plan her training schedule next year.
Hilda believes that dedication is essential to success in athletics. She says she had found that a great deal of self-discipline is necessary. She, too, believes that a great deal of her success is due to the efforts of coach Roger Booth.
Andrea thinks that much of her development as an athlete stems from her friendship with Hilda. She says that Hilda’s company on runs has made her training to such an advanced degree possible. She feels that without each other neither might have done so well. She says that she is often asked how she finds it possible to compete against Hilda when their friendship is such a close one.
Andrea has the last word on this one. “Although we compete against each other,” she says, “this hasn’t spoilt our friendship.”

Havelock Trust for the Elderly bus makes trip
Having put off the picnic once, because of bad weather, Friday, November 4 turned out to be a beautiful, even hot, day.
Twenty-five elderly residents and day centre people, set out from the Little Sisters at 11 am in two cars and three buses run by the H.B. Trust for the Elderly. One of these was the Red Cross bus from Havelock North, driven by Mr Harry Triplow. We are most grateful to the Red Cross for helping us with the transport on this and many other occasions.
Our route took us along Pakowhai Rd past the Waiohiki Golf Course, up Omaranui Rd through Puketapu to Rissington.
There we settled down under the trees at Omatua, the Girl Guide House. Soon a fire was blazing and sausages grilling. The appetites increased a hundredfold and the sausages, wrapped in buttered bread disappeared quickly, together with eggs and a varied salad followed by a hot cup of tea. All this was accompanied by music provided by Mantovani and his orchestra.
As it was a hot day, the picknickers lazed in the sun or under the shade of the beautiful trees, before heading for home about 2pm. We took an alternate route home, stopping in Taradale on the way for ice-creams.
Needless to say, everyone, the elderly and voluntary drivers enjoyed themselves immensely and no doubt had a very restful and peaceful night!
Exhibiting their own treasures
Although planned by and for members as a mini exhibition the November meeting of the Havelock North Collectors group can only be described as one of maximum success.
A record number of members attended the gathering held at the DB Te Mata to view the magnificent collection. Antique and modern mingled happily on the nine tables and the stage. These were brass and copper ware, silver, fine china, glassware, carved woodware, needlework and embroidery, paintings, jewellery, and ‘small treasures,’ the latter being miniature articles of all these other media and including gold, pewter, leather, Battersea enamel, ivory and onyx. Many of the pieces displayed would be irreplaceable in this day and age and it was a privilege to be able to view at close range many pieces which could rightly belong in a museum of fine arts. Many would be well over the required age (one hundred years) that would enable them to be classed as antiques. Though a great many members loaned prized possessions for the exhibition, credit must be given to the members of the committee for collecting, returning, and setting up this most attractive display.
Guest speaker for the afternoon was Mrs Olive Kilbey of the Raphael Studios, Napier. After commenting most favourably on the overall exhibition and on particular items of immeasurable value, Mrs Kilbey gave excellent advice on the acquisition and the care of antiques. She explained the markings on silver and on porcelain, the latter being particularly hard to trace. Glassware was even harder to trace as much of it bore no markings at all. She mentioned that quite often the best pieces available in the world today were to be found in our own homes. Genuine antiques were fast becoming harder and harder to locate, and in consequence were becoming more costly to acquire. She urged seeking them out and purchasing before it is too late. Many of the famous china and porcelain factories, including Belleek in Ireland and Dresden in Germany, were now having to acquire their china clay in different parts of the world with consequent detriment to their ware, so that their original pieces could now ever be matched for quality.
Mrs Kilbey complimented the group on a superb display, and finished her talk with some amusing stories of her buying trips overseas. These trips are not holidays in any sense of the word, sometimes entailing miles of walking for only small returns, as genuine pieces became more and more scarce. In conclusion she urged all members to take another look at their precious pieces when they got their home, and to attach labels or stickers to them in some inconspicuous place conveying full particulars and origins of each piece, this for the sake of posterity. So many antiques with hard-to-define markings are hard to pinpoint, and such particulars would be of inestimable value in the years to come.
Next month’s meeting of the group will take the form of an early evening Christmas party. This will be at the DB Te Mata Hotel on December 6 from 6.30 till 9pm and members will be escorted by a husband or a friend. The group will then go into recess until March, 1984. Hilda Bradley

Fancy a farm holiday in Australia?
Australia’s agricultural properties that are open to tourists have been drawn together in a brochure promoting farm holidays.
Published by the Australian Tourist Commission, the 48-page booklet includes properties in all States and the Northern Territory. Its aim is to encourage overseas visitors to spend part of their Australian holiday on a farm.
Copies of the booklet are available from TAANZ bonded travel agents, airline travel desks and by writing direct to the Australian Tourist Commission, P.O. Box 1365, Auckland. There is no cost.
Comments ATC’s New Zealand manager, Peter Goulding: “We sometimes hear people ask why a New Zealander would wish to visit an Australian farm. These people can see that, say, an American tourist would be unfamiliar with Australian farming but suggest that it’s too close to local conditions for a New Zealander to be interested.
“The fact is that New Zealanders are visiting Australian farms in substantial members – as groups, families and individuals.”
Mr Goulding says that New Zealanders find different methods, different terrain and different problems, as well as more familiar conditions. “Farming people who visit Australian farms seem to enjoy comparing situations and discussing alternatives,” says Mr Goulding. “Both farmers and city folk make the most of Australian rural hospitality, farm meals and recreation opportunities like horse-riding and bushwalking.”
The Australian farm holiday guide contains a selection of properties throughout Australia, ranging from small farm holdings to vast Outback stations.
It includes information on the location, size and type of each property, activities available on the property and nearby, places of interest in the region, accommodation style, availability of meals, and how to get to the farm or station from the capital city or nearest ‘gateway.’
Advice is given on clothing and footwear and the best time of the year to visit particular properties.
Founders take historic jaunt
The Hawke’s Bay branch of the New Zealand Founders’ Society is fast becoming known among other branches as a group ‘on the move.’
Not only is the membership growing at an amazingly fast rate, but it is the envy of other branches for its initiative in planning short and longer trips for its members, and in general exploring less well-known points of historical interest around the North Island. Full credit must be given to a very active committee under the leadership of the branch’s president Mr Peter Harding, of Mount Vernon, Waipukurau. He and his wife personally do a “recognisance” visit beforehand to all places visited, arranging suitable accommodation and generally contacting kindred groups and those in charge of historic places worthy of visiting. The Vice-President and secretary for the local (Havelock North, Hastings and Napier) members, Mrs Noya Smith, is also to be commended for the extensive work she puts in to make these excursions so efficiently-run.
On the weekend after Labour Day weekend a full busload of members from all points of Hawke’s Bay travelled to New Plymouth for a three-day sightseeing trip. Stops were made en route at various historical points, the most interesting of these being the Turuturu Mokai old Maori fortress just north of Hawera and Lake Mangamahoe.
There are always unrehearsed incidents on thse [these] trips and hilarious interlude occurred on this present excursion when the luggage compartment of the bus sprang open and decanted two suitcases on to the road. Two men in a utility picked them up and pursued the bus post haste. A traffic officer lying in wait observed the utility breaking the speed limit and set off in pursuit, siren screaming – the traffic officer pursuing the utility, the utility pursuing the bus. It all ended happily, no tickets being issued.
Saturday was spent sightseeing with members of the Taranaki branch of the Society, visiting the Moturoa Lookout, St Mary’s historic old church and Pukekura Park. After lunch a visit was made to the historic Hurworth Cottage and the Pukeiti Rhododendron Trust Park. In the evening they were joined by members of the Taranaki branch for a social hour followed by a combined dinner.
Plans were somewhat changed on Sunday because of the weather but the party visited Motunui and then were entertained at a morning tea by the New Plymouth members. An opportunity was taken to visit the well-known Tawhiti Museum at Hawera on the way home. This museum began as a small private collection and has grown rapidly over the last few years. It recreates many aspects of social and technological heritage and all who saw it voted it as the highlight of the trip and well worth the short detour.
On the following weekend this thriving branch entertained members of the Wanganui branch for what was to be their first trip away from their home ground to visit another branch, and was a reciprocal visit after Hawke’s Bay had visited them the previous year. The party arrived in Waipukurau in time to have luncheon at Mount Vernon, and the afternoon was spent in sightseeing local points of interests in the district. Close to 200 members and visitors dined at the Angus Inn in Hastings that evening.
The guest speaker on this occasion was Judith Fyfe who spoke about the proposed National Archives of Oral History which it is proposed to form. Older people are being interviewed and the interviews taped and correctly stored. It is an attractive thought that in future years our grandchildren and great-grandchildren will be able to actually hear the voices of their forebears rather than just reading of them. Older people can remember further back into the past and their memories are invaluable. Elderly people are not self-conscious when interviewed and will speak freely. It is better to ask them about their forebears rather than about themselves. The NZ Oral Archives will be glad to hear from anyone who has suitable tapes for correct storage and Judith Fyfe also urged members to have a closer look at all their old photographs and to write on them (in pencil -ink writing will fade) all relevant particulars; not just ‘Mum and Dad’ for instance, but full names and places of birth. They are too precious to consign to the flames, and are well worthy of preservation.
On Sunday the party toured around Havelock North and Napier under the escort of Mrs Higgins of the Napier Historical Society, before being entertained to a luncheon in the Harbour Board offices at Napier by the Northern Hawke’s Bay members. They left at 1.30pm with the intention of visiting Guavas estate on the homeward journey, with warm praise for the hospitality received from the Hawke’s Bay branch, and with firm intentions of taking further trips of like nature.

Strawberries.
“In France, strawberries are served with burgundy or claret, or soaked in liqueurs; in England, they are offered with sugar and cream; in America they are often cooked and turned into strawberry shortcake or served as a sundae. The Italians serve them with orange or lemon juice and the Turks sprinkle them with lemon juice, scatter them with nuts and serve them with whipped cream flavoured with rosewater.” Leah S. Matthews (The Little Strawberry Book).
In folklore the strawberry signifies ‘perfect excellence’ probably also the best way to describe the taste of the strawberry.
The origin of the strawberry seems to have been lost in history. In earliest times wiled strawberries were found growing on the edges of dense forests, where the soil was favourable to low growing plants. There is little evidence of deliberate cultivation in pre-Roman times. The Romans were the first people known to have cultivated the strawberry. By the 14th century at least 1200 strawberry plants were being cultivated in the Royal Gardens of Charles V of France. Strawberries were depicted in a number of paintings and miniatures of the period. Probably the best known paintings showing strawberries is the “the Garden of Earthly Delights” by Hieronymus Bosch, painted in about 1510.
Strawberries weren’t native to Europe alone, British settlers going ashore in Massachusetts in the early 17th century found another species of strawberries. Strawberries are also native to south coastal Chile, the southern Cordillera of the Andes, the beaches and coastal mountains of western North America and the mountains of Hawaii.
The commercial development of the strawberry was hindered because of the perishable nature of the fruit and the slowness of transport, so cultivation was limited to areas close to large urban centres.
Strawberries belong to the genus Fragaria, and are a member of the rose family. No one is sure how strawberries were named, but there are several suggestions, one being they ripen along with the straw, another because they strew their runners along the soil.
It may surprise many of you to know that the leaves of the strawberry plant are edible, a very refreshing tea can be made the fresh leaves of the strawberry plant. As with many foods strawberries have been used medicinally through the ages. If you have a fever, pour cold water over crushed strawberries to make a refreshing, cooling and cleansing drink. Strawberries have a high iron content so are good for people suffering from anaemia. A gargle of strawberry tea is said to be good for ulcers and soreness of the mouth, loose teeth and spongy gums.
Keeping Strawberries.
Try to avoid hulling and washing strawberries until you are ready to serve them. Once the leaves and hulls have been removed the fruit will absorb water and spoil. Store in the fridge and eat as soon as possible after picking or purchasing. The fresher they are the better they taste.
Strawberry Ice Cream Sundae.
Place scoops of strawberry or vanilla ice cream in sundae glasses, pile fresh strawberries on top and decorate with whipped cream and a whole strawberry.
Strawberries and Pineapple.
Place slices of fresh or canned pineapple in sundae glasses, top with fresh strawberries. Serve with cream.
Chocolate dipped strawberries.
200g dark chocolate
50g kremelta
large unhulled strawberries
Melt chocolate and kremelta together in top of double boiler, set over barely simmering water. If you have a microwave use this to melt the chocolate. Place the chocolate and kremelta in a small microwave proof jug or bowl, microwave on High 3-4 mins, or until chocolate is melted. Be careful when melting chocolate in microwave as it will hold its shape, while it is actually quite soft.
Dip the whole strawberries in to the chocolate one at a time, place on tin foil. Refrigerate until chocolate hardens.
These are delicious to serve with coffee after after a meal, and look attractive if they are unhulled, as well as giving you something to hold on to as you get the strawberry.
Strawberry Tree.
Often as an edible centre piece for a summer buffet or for the table on Christmas Day I will make what I call a Strawberry Tree.
For this you will need a suitable flat plate, a cone shaped oasis (the sort you use for flower arranging), toothpicks and chocolated dipped strawberries, as above. I usually just half dip the strawberries. Do not hull the strawberries, just cut the stalk back if necessary.
To assemble the Strawberry Tree.
Stick a toothpick into the hull end of each strawberry and stick the other end into the oasis. Place the larger strawberries at the bottom of the oasis and smaller ones at the top. Decorate the plate around the bottom of the strawberry tree with any left over strawberries and fresh angelica leaves.
Strawberry Cocktail.
This is a very refreshing summer drink.
8 large strawberries
2 nips tequila
1 tbsp castor sugar
juice 1/2 small lemon
soda water
Place strawberries, tequila, castor sugar and lemon juice in blender and blend well until smooth. In 2 long glasses put lots of ice, divided strawberry mixture between the 2 glasses, top each glass up with soda water. Decorate with a slice of lemon and half a strawberry.
And finally for those of you have always thought about bathing in Champagne and strawberries.
Champagne and Strawberry Bath.
1/2 cup fresh strawberries
1/2 cup powered oatmeal
1 tsp borax
10 drops strawberry oil
2 cups champagne
Mash strawberries and mix with oatmeal, borax and strawberry oil. Place in a muslin bath bag and immerse in bath water. Pour one cup of champagne in bath and pour the other cup for yourself and drink while bathing.
Happy Cooking and Bathing!
Rachel.

Music federation announces 1984 concert season
The Music Federation of New Zealand has pulled out all the stops in 1984, to present the largest and most expensive concert season ever mounted in its 34-year history.
Releasing details of the season, President Mr C. M. Hercus said that total concerts next year would number almost 200 and be presented in 36 centres throughout New Zealand.
First up are the dynamic young French duo-pianists Katia and Marielle Labeque, two of the most sought after musicians on the international concert scene. In the space of just a few years they have introduced an entirely new perspective into the chamber music field – whoever heard of duo pianists dressed by Dior?
The Labeque sisters are followed closely by a group which will undoubtedly provide one of the highlights of the season – the Polish Chamber Orchestra under its inspired conductor Jerzy Maksymiuk. The 20-member string orchestra became an overnight sensation in Western Europe following a triumphant United Kingdom tour in 1977. The visit in 1984 will be the Orchestra’s first to New Zealand.
At the same time the Camerata Piano Quartet will be opening the season for smaller centres throughout New Zealand. The 18-concert tour by the Quartet, one of this country’s finest and best known ensembles, will take in centres as far afield as Dargaville, Whakatane, Motueka and Gore.
To complete the Music Federation’s opening line-up in March is world renowned violinist Miha Pogacnik, touring in solo recital and with eminent New Zealand pianist Diedre Irons. Recognised as one of the outstanding virtuosi of his time, Miha Pogacnik enthralled audiences on his first visit in 1981.
The Federation’s music offering of overseas and New Zealand musicians continues unabated throughout the year. Traditional chamber music devotees are well catered for with a return visit by the Gabrieli Quartet, one of England’s finest ensembles and debut tour by the young up-and-coming Reger Trio from West Germany.
New Zealanders are also represented in this field by the outstanding Pleyel Piano Quartet making its second national tour, and the Auckland Chamber Music Players continuing a tradition of exciting and unusual programming.
Early music is well represented by The Baroque Players, Wellington’s renowned string orchestra and The Hilliard Ensemble, one of England’s foremost vocal groups.
To add spice to the season the Federation has engaged the Australian folk group Sirocco for a 13-centre nationwide tour. The four members of the group performing an extraordinary array of instruments draw their inspiration from the original Anglo-Irish immigrants to Australia and successive waves of immigrants from Europe, the Mediterranean and the East.
The flute and guitar duo of Roger Buckton and Edrick Banks, two outstanding New Zealand musicians, will add further variety with a programme which spans 500 years.
To complete the season’s line-up are four exceptional pianists touring in solo recital:
Idil Biret exciting Turkish-born musician who took Paris by storm at the age of 15; Hungarian virtuoso Bela Siki; Katherine Austin winner of Television New Zealand’s first Young Musician’s Competition in 1982 and Rae De Lisle one of this country’s finest and most popular musicians.
Paraplegic appeal
Richard Hill, Natalie Allan and Roly Whitchurch are three paraplegics chosen to feature in the NZ Paraplegic and Physically Disabled Federation’s 1983 Postal Appeal which will be held November 21-27.
Richard aged 22 was paralysed as the result of a rugby accident. At present he works part-time in the Oamaru Hospital laundry but his future plans are to train as a telephonist.
16-year-old Natalie is a student who suffered a broken neck in a car accident. She hopes to go back to school next year to take a computer course.
Roly Whitchurch’s paraplegia was caused by a viral illness. Aged 43, he is an estate agent specialising in commercial and industrial property.
“These three paraplegics are typical of an increasing number of New Zealanders confined to a wheelchair through accident or disease,” said Mr J. L. McKie, Executive Officer of the NZ Paraplegic and Physically Disabled Federation. “With generous public assistance we can continue to help these disabled to help themselves get back into the community,” Mr McKie said.
UNICEF show of child studies
In conjunction with the Beatson alpine flower collection the Cultural Centre is showing a fascinating collection of child studies taken in 9 countries.
The colour prints are the work of Ronald and Inge Woolf, both professional photographers in Wellington, who toured the world in 1979.
Over a period of seven weeks the Woolfs captured the delightful moods of childhood in a wide variety of surroundings in hundreds of superb colour prints and donated the collection to NZ UNICEF. On display is a selection of the best of the original collection.
The exhibition is a joint venture sponsored by the NZ Committee of UNICEF and Zonta International. This display also runs until November 30.
Groups Seek $30m
The New Zealand Family Trust, established to distribute the $4-million proceeds from this year’s Telethon to service for socially at risk children and the aged, has received nearly 1600 applications for grants amounting to $30-million.
Most of them arrived in the week ending September 30, closing date for applications.
Family Trust chairman, Admiral Sir Gordon Tait, said; “The quality and quantity of the applications have emphasised the need for help in the areas Telethon set out to assist.
“Because the amount requested exceeds by seven times the sum available, it will not be possible to accommodate every application.
Wanderers AGM elects officers
Havelock North Wanderers’ AFC held their annual meeting on October 26.
Thirty members attended the meeting. David Lothian was elected president, Lynne Oakes secretary and John Gibbons treasurer. Members of the committee are Bill Streeton, Rob Barrett, Arnie Bauckman, Bill Van Kooten, Tony Simmonds [Simons], Sheree Brain and Malcolm Gribben.
Peter Townrow was voted club captain and was also made a life member for his services to the club over the last 23 years. The financial committee for the last year will remain, but will be joined by four new members, Mike Link, Shirley Lothian, Rob Barrett and Linda Van Kooten.

Bird Notes by Frank Boyce
Do you think that, perhaps, there are fewer birds about the garden than usual? Most kingfishers and fantails have returned to their normal summer haunts but this alone would not account for an apparent reduction in the number of birds visible in our gardens. The explanation is that half the population – the female half, mostly – is sitting on nests with either eggs or nestlings under them and this is normal at this time of year. The other, male, half of the population is busy gathering food for those who cannot gather it for themselves. Nector, soft seeds, worms, grubs, spiders and other soft-bodied insects, all are gathered and, according to the species, fed to the young. And that is what the blackbirds on our lawns are doing right now – gathering warms.
Have you ever noticed how a blackbird with a beakful of worms still probes for and gather more? Then, when he can’t possibly hold any more, he rolls them about on the grass, breaking them into smaller, more manageable pieces and, that accomplished, after swallowing a piece or two himself, he gathers the rest together and flies off to feed his mate and their young. Techniques vary slightly with individuals but the pattern I’ve described is pretty close to being general.
So close to exhaustion are some birds during this busy time that it has been found, by experimenters, that by adding one or two extra nestlings to a nest they can bring about the death of an already overworked parent.
Taking my ease in the sun the other morning, I noticed a pair of sparrows searching the walls of the house for food for their young. Fluttering their wings like humming birds, they hovered a few inches from the bricks, moving in as necessary in order to pick off a spider, moth or other soft-bodied insect hiding in the crevices. They searched round window frames, over the doors, up under the eaves and altogether appeared to be doing quite well. Later, during the afternoon, I saw probably the same pair going over the foliage of a frangipani tree beside the window and they, too, would have been searching for insect food for their young.
Now why would a pair of seed-eating sparrows desert their normal diet to go looking for insects? The answer is that husked seeds are not suited to the digestive tracts of young birds so the parents feed them on soft-bodied insects which not only are more easily digested but also, being protein, have greater food value.
If you watch closely you will notice that when probing the lawn for worms, blackbirds and thrushes do so with the beak closed but the starlings probe with the beak open at an angle of about thirty degrees. My own theory is that the starling, having made an opening in the surface soil, then uses its tongue to feel for grubs such as the grassgrub. It’s only a theory. I have no proof.
These are the things to look for when watching birds in your garden; the different feeling habits, the different ways of building their nests, the behaviour that doesn’t seem normal for the species, the bird you’ve never seen before, the stranger in the midst of those you know so well. Then try to work out the reason why these differences occur.

Can we help ease unemployment?
A trust is being formed in Havelock North to help with the developing crisis of unemployment.
It is a Trust that will be made up of members of Havelock North Churches and the Borough Council. It began with a group of fifteen members of St Columba’s Church, meeting to share their concern for the personal crisis that unemployment brings to a person and a family. Since then more people and groups have shown interest and representatives of the Presbyterian, Anglican, Methodist, Roman Catholic Churches, the Gospel Chapel and the Borough Council, have shared in the formative meetings. A Trust Deed is being prepared. The Trust will be known as Aroha Trust (Havelock North).
“It is envisaged by the group that the Trust will provide a base for a variety of projects and activities,” the minister of St Columba’s, the Rev. Michael Thawley said. “At the moment there are four Working Committees studying different projects that may provide work and support for some unemployed people in Havelock North. I would stress, though, that our ideas are still at a very early stage.”
Throughout these discussions the group has kept in close touch with Government Departments and the Havelock North Community Work Scheme. “We want to support what is already being done, and offer extra opportunities for local unemployed people,” Mr Thawley said.
One of the ideas being studied is to set up an Employment Bureau in Havelock North. The Employment Bureau would seek out work in the community and where possible put it together to create full-time jobs. When small jobs can be put together in this way, then the Bureau will employ a person to do that work. Those for whom the work is done will pay the Bureau who would act as the employer.
“The next step in developing this idea is to find out if there is enough work available to set up the Bureau,” said Mr Thawley. The Bureau Committee is going to conduct a survey in the last week of November as a guide in finding out if there is work that could be available. It is planned to visit 500 homes in Havelock North and the surrounding area with a simple questionnaire. Local Service Clubs are assisting with the survey. “We do ask the cooperation of residents if approached so that the Committee can gauge if this is one way to create a few jobs in the community.
The Committee suggest in the questionnaire some types of small jobs that residents may need done. The emphasis is on regular jobs – so that secure employment can be offered by the Bureau. “We hope some residents may make a decision to make some jobs they normally do themselves available as part of their assistance to relieve the problem of unemployment,” Mr Thawley said. Some of the suggestions include – lawn mowing, swimming or spa pool maintenance, window cleaning, housework, child minding, gardening, rubbish removal, and car cleaning. Rates of payment would be up to commercial rate. Work that would normally be done by a tradesperson is not sought. The survey is only to gauge what work might be available. Answers to the questionnaire do not commit a resident to having the work done, nor the Bureau to undertaking it.
“While the Employment Bureau is only part of the proposed work of the Aroha Trust,” Mr Thawley said “it is a good example of the Trust’s need for the support of the whole community. The Trust only seeks to be the means by which the community itself can relieve the crisis of unemployment.”
Asterisk will produce King Lear
Asterisk Theatre Workshop are calling auditions for their new production, “King Lear.” This play will take place in May 1984.
This production of “King Lear” will be a full scale spectacular with bright costuming and a live music accompaniment. The idea is to produce a show with all the flamboyance and fire of production in the sixteenth century.
The first audition will be held at the Hawke’s Bay Community College, Audio-visual room on November 27 at 2pm. Participants are requested to bring a script and prepare a passages.
Further information may be obtained from Andy Pegg by telephoning Hastings 87 503.
Keirunga Column
The Annual General Meeting of the Keirunga Gardens Society will be held in the hall at Keirunga at 8pm on Monday the 28 November, and all active and subscribing members, and interested members of the general public are urged to attend. With an intensive building programme ahead and membership growing at a very satisfactory rate there is a need on the committee for some energetic and interested members.
The Society has expanded considerably with the Toastmasters and Patchwork groups joining the ranks, and it is particularly pleasing to report that junior membership of the Drama Group has reached 67 and has had to be closed temporarily. It is gratifying to think that 67 teenagers with time on their hands have found an outlet for their talents and an association with many others of their age with kindred pastimes.
The Society is fulfilling a valuable service for the district. All facilities are being used to the utmost, and this is as it should be. We badly need the added space, and it is hoped that by this time next year the proposed additions will have become an established fact. Fund-raising is progressing slowly but surely and it is believed that once the working drawings have been approved, tenders called and the work commenced, there will be a resurgence of interest and financial help from the public of Havelock North. In the meantime the groups are in friendly contest in the raising of money, and some splendid sums have been raised. There is a long way to go but the Society is confident that the goal will be reached.
The Drama Group have recently completed a successful season of Roger Hall’s “50-50” produced by Brian Overend. The small but talented cast made the most of this entertaining play, a mixture of comedy and more serious situations. In fact although some of Roger Hall’s lines were brilliantly humorous, there were some situations when one felt deep sympathy for the central character. The Homestead Theatre’s productions are always well worth seeing and amply reward the “little trip up the hill.”
The Potters are busy preparing for their annual exhibition and sale which takes place on the weekend of this issue, viz: 19 and 20 November, Saturday 10am till 4pm, Sunday 1pm till 4pm. The usual stocks of high grade and medium priced pottery will be available to the public for always popular Christmas gifts.
The Spinning and Weaving recently held a mourning tea to increase the amount of their “pledge” for the building fund. On display were weaving and woolcraft from Scandanavia [Scandinavia] and other European countries, and was well worth attending.
The Gardening Circle held another of their splendid trips away last month when a busload of members and friends travelled to Tauranga for a three-day visit to gardens and parks. This is one of the most popular and successful groups with a temporary closed relationship.
In the last Keirunga News there is an item written by Mrs Ruth Flashoff of Havelock North. It is entitled “Memories of Keirunga” and is an extract from her diary of 5 November 1933. Mrs Flashoff, as Ruth Niblock lived at Keirunga in those days and was in fact responsible for planting some of the citrus fruit trees in the garden. The item is a description of a Guy Fawkes party held in the garden, many of the young people mentioned still being residents of the district. It makes interesting reading. – Hilda Bradley

Cricket season makes a promising start
The 1983-84 cricket season has finally got underway after hiccups with the weather.
November 5 was the first day when all the Havelock North cricket teams played. The third and fourth grade teams both celebrated with victories, although the margins differed considerably. The thirds won off the last ball of their match, but the fourths were more comfortable winning by nine wickets.
The seniors and seconds were both playing two-day games. The seniors were not well placed, being 109-6 in reply to Taradale’s 258-9 declared. However Scott Pease confirmed fine early-season form by being 69 not out. David O’Sullivan took five wickets as well. The seconds playing at Anderson Park were much better placed, thanks to a fine all round performance by Greg Cook, who scored 53 and took 5 wickets, including a hat trick.
Although the seniors struggled last week, they still lead the competition, thanks to a fine outright win over Whakatu-Mahora by 4 wickets. Scott Pease again started with 83 not out, while David O’Sullivan took 7 wickets in the match. All the other bowlers supported him well. The seconds drew their first game with Napier Boys’ High School, but captain Geoff Pollard made the match memorable by taking 11 wickets with his assortment of googlies and leg spinners.
The club has now completed two practice wickets. This has been a very successful project which will benefit Havelock North Cricket for many years to come. Many thanks must be given to the Havelock North Borough Council and staff of the Parks and Reserves Department for their assistance in the building of the wickets.
Havelock North cricket was given a further boost during the week by having four players named in the Hawke’s Bay squad: David O’Sullivan, Stuart Duff, Scott Pease and Stephen Brown. The club wishes these players the best of luck, at the beginning of a very demanding representative season.
Finally, the club would like to express its gratitude to the businesses of Havelock North for their tremendous support for our Fun Run which is to be held on Sunday, November 20. We all hope everyone will be there.

Girls’ Brigade needs leaders
Four years ago, a new organization for youth was formed in Havelock North.
It was new for Havelock North, but it is an organization that has a history of 90 years. It is the Girls’ Brigade. In Havelock North, unless more leaders and Officers are found, the Company may have to go into recess.
The Girls’ Brigade is a world wide Christian organization. It is interdenominational although each individual Company is associated with a particular Church. In Havelock North, it was the vision and enthusiasm of some members of St Columba’s that saw the Brigade off to a good start. There have been two groups meeting every week – the Junior Section on Wednesday afternoons, and the Intermediate, Senior and Pioneer girls on Wednesday evenings.
The programme of the Brigade is varied including service, activities, developing responsibility and Christian education. A wide range of subjects is available for the girls in each aspect. Camping, Hiking and Expedition Certificates are also awarded for older girls.
After four years, the 1st Havelock North Girls’ Brigade Company is going to be short of leaders. The most urgent need is for a Captain who has a knowledge of the way the Girls’ Brigade works. “We are sure there is someone in Havelock North who, perhaps, has been a member or helper in the Brigade in earlier years who could help,” said the Rev. Michael Thawley who is Chaplain of the Company. Others without that background, but who could help, are also needed.
You can contact Michael Thawley by phoning 777 634.

Photographs of alpine wild flowers
From November 17 to 30 the Hastings City Cultural Centre is showing a collection of brilliant colour photography portraying alpine wildflowers.
The collection is the work of Ron Beatson, a retired Auckland architect, whose love affair with New Zealand’s mountain flora started when he was a lad in Nelson. He went to school there and started out in life as a woodwork instructor. He took his first photographs with a ‘Box Brownie’ seventy years and twenty-four cameras ago.
He was first introduced to the mountain region of north-west Nelson by his father in 1925. This was the start of a close association with mountain flora which is still fresh today. Almost every summer vacation he has returned to the region, camera in hand, to photograph the alpine flowers and their surroundings. In the early days this resulted in slide shows, both public and private. More recently with the advent of good colour print techniques, it has led to a permanent collection of prints, all processed in the photographer’s home darkroom. His first exhibition was held at the Suter Gallery, Nelson, in 1982. Then followed an exhibition in Takaka in 1983, and private shows in Auckland and Christchurch.
All the photographs in the exhibition were taken in the Cobb Valley region of the north-west Nelson Forest park, including Mt Arthur, Mt Peel, Mt Mytton and the Sylvester Lakes area. Plants photographed range from those in alpine valleys at 700m to those on the tussock fields and scree or rock slopes at 1700m. They are fairly typical examples of plants to be found throughout most of this country’s mountainous areas.
The examples are chosen from many hundreds of slides in an attempt to portray a good cross-section of the beauty of our native alpine flowers in their habitat.
