SAM KILMISTER

Despite the liquid sunshine, many of Feilding’s bravest put on their cowboy hats, boots and jeans and hit the streets to make the most of a Wild West-themed Rural Day. Feilding’s Manchester Square played host to sheep, goats, pigs, ponies and thousands of visitors during the annual event on Friday. The atmosphere was set early with country classics like Johnny Cash’s Ring of Fire and Old Crow Medicine’s Wagon Wheel ringing out from the town’s clock tower. Held on the last weekday of the school holidays, the town was also treated to a surprise visit by Shortland Street star Jarod Rawiri, who plays Mo Hannah. Rawiri was in town promoting his show Double Derelicts, which is playing at Palmerston North’s Julie Rush Centrepoint Theatre.

Taihape Gumboot country Residents divided over gumboot

JORDAN GOWAN

Cars swerve to a stop and families tumble out to take photos beside it constantly: it’s no wonder Tai- hape’s famous boot is looking a little worn. The gumboot sculpture marking the entrance to Taihape from the Ruapehu side is a town icon, but some residents are con- cerned that it may be slightly worse for wear. Resident Mike Russell said the gumboot needed to be painted again. ‘‘If Taihape wants to promote itself, it definitely needs a paint.’’ He suggested the boot would look better in a classic black with red band. Taihape resident Raewyn Bowsher said that maintaining the gumboot was important because people stopped there all the time. ‘‘Nine times out of 10 when you drive past there’s always someone taking photos there,’’ she said. ‘‘If we’re going to have some- thing like that advertising Tai- Xaiver Wilson, Carlie Blanshett-Burton, Wendy Session, Jess and Chelsea Collier, Joanne, Curran and Chris Wilson, Petra and Asher Blanshett-Burton, Alec Harris and hape, we need to keep it looking Josef and Harvey Trethowen in front of the iconic gumboot.

Holiday blues were batted out of the way as young cricketers from Taihape and beyond streamed into town for an early cricket training session. Almost 30 children from Tai- hape, Whanganui, Ohakune and Norsewood showed up to take part in the holiday sessions, held on Tuesday, October 4 for ages 6 to 9 and Wednesday, October 5 for ages 10 to 13. Held at the Taihape Area School gym, the sessions were coached by Central Districts players Dominick Lock and Jes- sica Watkin, who is also in the White Ferns development squad.

SAM KILMISTER

The Manawatu District Council has ticked the next two boxes on its Feilding Wastewater Treat- ment Plant to-do-list after they accepted two contracts totalling almost $2 million. Tenders were accepted for the construction of a second effluent storage pond and the installation of an irrigation system in a coun- cil meeting on Thursday. The Feilding Wastewater Treatment Plant has had a series of problems dating back to 2012, when out of nine discharge con- sents, only two were compliant. A 25,000 cubic metre pond was completed in August 2014. The second duplicate pond, which will cost $515,000, is now proposed to increase the storage capacity at the plant to 50,000 cubic metres. The new pond shares a com- mon wall with the existing pond. However, the pipework to connect the ponds to the treatment plant and irrigation system have not been included in the contract and will be installed separately. A centre point irrigation sys- tem would also be installed, cost- ing the council $1.4 million. This was determined by council’s advisors as the most effective way to dispose of treated wastewater Land to be covered by an irrigation pivot (bottom), with the existing pond (right).

SAM KILMISTER

Gold card holders in Feilding and Marton are rejoicing as an initiat- ive led by Rangitikei MP Ian McKelvie now allows them to identify which businesses offer gold card discounts. Gold decals are set to be dis- played in the windows of 33 busi- nesses in Feilding and 22 in Marton. Following a talk by arts, cul- tural and heritage minister Maggie Barry in August, McKelvie noticed many over 65s didn’t know where they could use their cards and were therefore missing out. Woodlands retirement village resident Bob Hagan said it would make his life a lot easier. ‘‘When we had the meeting with Maggie Barry not a lot of people could name the places in Feilding that accept the gold cards,’’ he said. ‘‘You can use it a lot in the city with buses and what not. This is going to help everyone out.’’ McKelvie said he wanted the project to spark more businesses in Feilding to open their doors to gold card discounts. ‘‘Our real aim is building the number of gold card operators. A lot of people I talked to didn’t Rangitikei MP Ian McKelvie with Flooring Xtra owner Andrew White as he applies the gold card welcome sticker to his shop door.
