April, 2006

Well, the Peterson team is continuing to grow. We have added a new office to our premises, and are quickly filling it with new staff.

The factory boys are working hard building mills and getting them out, while the office staff are working just as hard planning tours, shows, and much more.

In this months "Cutting Comments" we learn about different types of trees and how they effect millions of allergy sufferers around the globe, we find out why a new owner chose a Peterson over a Lucas. Jake says "I do" in Photo of the Month, and in Joke of the Month you can choose whether you would like a room with a view or not.

As always, feel free to send through your questions, suggestions and comments to us. We love hearing from you.

Happy milling,

from the team at Peterson's.

ARTICLE: TREES YOU CAN LIVE WITH - TREES YOU CAN'T

By Steve Nix

Plants that produce wind-blown pollen, many of them trees, make life miserable for millions of allergy sufferers each year. Pollination is critical for trees to reproduce but can be crippling to some people with specific tree allergies and asthma. If these allergy sufferers live in areas with lots of the wrong trees, there can be major health issues and loss in quality of life during the peak pollen season.

Allergy sufferers can make it through tree pollen season with a minimum of discomfort by following some common sense suggestions . . . Keep reading.

Referral: PETERSON OR LUCAS?

The Forestry Forum gives you the answer

Once the question of bandmill or swingblade has been answered, the next is inevitably whether one should buy a Peterson or a Lucas. Reading on the Forestry Forum recently we found one new Peterson owner’s perspective, hearing why he chose the Peterson and why he couldn’t be happier.

Read it on our website, or see the original post on the Forestry Forum. There are also numerous other threads on the Forum discussing the pro's and con's, such as ‘differences between swingblades’ and ‘swing mill clarification’.

PHOTO OF THE MONTH

Jake says "I do"

The day had finally arrived. The shoes were polished, the dress was pressed, the guests were waiting, and the Rotorua sun was even shining. It was finally time for designer Jake Peterson to say ‘I do’, and marry his longtime love, Angela Grant. The wedding took place in a beautiful ceremony by Lake Tarawera late last month, in front of a small group of family and friends.

In typical Peterson fashion, Jake came back to work for a week to do a show, before the newlyweds left for their honeymoon in Australia.

See the photo of the happy couple.

JOKE OF THE MONTH

“A room with a view”

During a visit to the mental asylum, a visitor asked the director what the criterion was which defined whether or not a patient should be institutionalized. "Well," said the Director, "we fill up a bathtub, then we offer a teaspoon, a teacup and a bucket to the patient and ask him or her to empty the bathtub." "Oh, I understand," said the visitor. "A normal person would use the bucket because it's bigger than the spoon or the teacup." "No," said the Director, "a normal person would pull the plug. Do you want a room with or without a view?"
