Help from the community con- tinues to flow in after gardening tools were stolen last year from a group of volunteers restoring the Lake Rotopiko wetland area near Ohaupo. In September $500 worth of gear from the group’s gardening shed was stolen. However, thanks to Ohaupo/ Ngahinapouri Lions Club, some of the tools have been replaced. Last month Murray Steele, from Ohaupo/Ngahinapouri Lions, took the group’s project co-ordinator Karen Denyer shopping for new tools. But this isn’t the first act of kindness the group has seen. In September local arborist Dennis Clements of Total Tree Care donated pruning tools.

ew Zealand is set to dazzle the world with a new apple variety Nlaunched for Christmas by Fruitcraft, after being licensed the world- wide rights by Prevar Ltd. The apple variety PremA129, which will be marketed and known as Dazzle, is expected to be one of the biggest apple variety launches since Royal Gala decades ago. All New Zealand apple growers will be able to grow Dazzle, and all fruit exporters will be able to sell it. Dazzle is a large, red, sweet apple which has taken 20 years to develop by Plant & Food Research (PFR) at their research station in Havelock North. Plant & Food Research scientist Richard Volz says Dazzle has been bred conventionally, through cross breeding between “Sweetie” and “Scired” by plant breeders at Havelock North in 1997. “The parents and grandparents of the PremA129 variety all come from New “We want to work with all growers to largest growers are already committed Zealand.
