Hi
Well, didn't the
Aussies clean up at the Commonwealth Games last month? But at least us Kiwis got
our revenge in the netball. And whilst the Games were going, the Peterson team
was growing. 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 container
drops.
In this months
Cutting Comments we learn about different types of trees and how
millions around
the globe suffer allergies from them, and we give you the opportunity to
win a great prize worth $3,300 at the NZ National Fieldays this year. 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 early 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?"
