Sailing legend guest DJs on East FM, Saturday arvo from 3pm
Two-time Olympic Games medallist Bruce Kendall is a local legend and Kiwi sailing great, and, a big music enthusiast and that's why he's the special guest DJ on tomorrow's She'll Be Right on Saturdays Show with PJ Taylor, 3-7pm (NZ time), July 16 on EAST FM 88.1 107.1 www.eastfm.nz...
Bruce won the gold medal at the 1988 Seoul Olympics in boardsailing, after claiming a bronze medal four years earlier at the Games in Los Angeles. Throughout his life in the world of competitive sailing and coaching, music has always played an important role in getting him revved up for racing and relaxed and thoughtful when away from the water.
Bruce has prepared a superb playlist for Saturday's show, a soundtrack to his life, and he'll explain the significance of songs and the stories from when he first heard them. Listeners are in for a treat as there is plenty of variety and potentially new discoveries on the horizon.
The She'll Be Right on Saturdays Show beams out of East FM, East Auckland's legendary community-powered public service radio station broadcasting on local frequencies 88.1FM and 107.1FM, nationally and globally at www.eastfm.nz... and on app iHeart Radio.
She'll Be Right - it's all about the vibe; it's all about the groove. And on Saturday we are sailing and playing Bruce Kendall's playlist. - PJ

Fruit destroyed on your trees?
Greetings, Neighbours. The guava moth is out and about. You'll notice pinholes in your fruit where the moth has laid its egg - which hatches into a grub which burrows throughout your fruit and makes it inedible. You can make traps (see on-line) and/or pick up fallen fruit (twice a day, if possible) and put in a bucket of water overnight. I've found this to be the best method as it destroys the second generation. Please do it. (Funny/peculiar thing: we have a couple of mini guava trees and the moths never touch them.) And pick fruit early if necessary, put in a paper bag with a banana and store for a few days at room temperature. Fruit will ripen, even if only for jam. Well done the person on Jade Avenue who has covered their plum tree with netting.
Making of traps: buy a few small garden/driveway lights from Bunnings -$3 each). Unscrew the small solar lamp and pull off the pointy bit. Then force the lamp into the top of a milk bottle. Cut holes in the milk bottle so the moth can enter as it seeks the light. (Pics on-line.)
Happy New Year, David H.
