Horizons Regional Council is thanking Rangitikei landowners for assisting with an annual old mans beard control programme by reporting sightings on their land or within the district.

Horizons environmental management officer pest plants Malinda Matthewson says community reporting is vital to the management of this smothering vine as locals keep Horizons informed of sites that may be missed.

"We use a mix of control methods for old mans beard and, with many thousands of hectares of native vegetation and farmland to search, helicopters are the most effective way to find and control the weed. However, we really only see the larger infestations this way," Mrs Matthewson says.

"Every year I visit people whose land we are going to search and every year locals tell us of smaller sites we may otherwise have missed. Local people know their area and are just as keen as we are to keep this weed under control.

"I cant state enough how important reports from locals are in contributing to the overall success of our control programmes.

"When we catch sites early, theyre easier to control. Were able to get to them before they really get going."

One such local is Pukeokahu Farming Partnership Limited manager John Waldron.

"The Pukeokahu Farming Partnership owners are keen to protect the natural environment. If we can work in with the regional council to do so then thats fantastic," he says.

Old mans beard is listed in Horizons current Regional Pest Management Strategy as a containment plant. This means areas where the weed has become a problem are recorded and the Council works with landowners to prevent its spread outside of these areas.

While Horizons cannot control all old mans beard sites, Mrs Matthewson says the work that they are doing in the Rangitikei along with work being carried out by landowners and the wider community is having a real impact on the weed.

Move over, Kristen Wiig. It is time for the professionals to take over the bridesmaid game.

That's right: If you are planning a wedding this year, you can hire the services of a professional bridesmaid for only $2,000.

Weddings are notoriously known as a stressful day, with one mishap that can easily turn a bride from beautiful to bridezilla. That is precisely the reason why Jen Glantz, a 26-year-old copywriter and author of All My Friends Are Engaged, created BridesmaidforHire.com. In short, her service acts as a "gal pal" for the bride.

Bridesmaid for Hire features four packages for brides to choose from, with prices ranging from a few hundred dollars to $2,000. The cheapest package is a virtual consultation where they will assist with planning, problem solving and to-do lists through the use of an online video collaboration tool.

The most expensive package is the hands-on "bridesmaid by your side" option for $2,000, which will provide on-ground support for all pre-wedding events and actual participation as a bridesmaid or maid of honor in the wedding party. According to Glantz, the average package sold is between $1,000 to $1,200.

The concept of hiring a wedding professional may be approaching a cultural watershed. Witness the recently released movie "Wedding Ringer" that chronicles the story of a socially awkward guy who hires a professional who provides best men for needy grooms. Separately, the 2011 hit "Bridesmaids" showed the disaster that can ensue when you opt to go the traditional route with friends.

The growing popularity of hiring professional wedding party participants begs the question of the price tag that we are willing to allocate to look good in front of other people. So how much is your ego really worth?

Not a movie: Pay $2000, get a wedding bridesmaid

The answer by private Little Rock lawyers Jason Owens and Michael Rainwater for County Judge Mickey Pendergrass and other defendants throws the kitchen sink at the lawsuit. Their arguments:

The Humanist Association has no standing. The display doesn't belong to the county (it's erected each year by lawyer Rick Spencer, but the county owns the land on which it stands). The humanists waited too late, until the 2014 holiday season had begun, to request a display of their own "to create disorder." (Not a lot of prep would have been necessary to put up a banner.) Religious displays are allowed constitutionally so long as a reasonable (their emphasis)observer would conclude it was not meant to promote religion. The county passed a resolution meant to put a larger gloss on the event and leased the land so it would not be public land for purposes of the display. (Could they not also lease a square foot or so to the Humanists and similarly adopt a resolution touting a "legacy of freedom" in permitting such a display?) The county has a legitimate secular interest in having the holiday display, to encourage visitors to town to spend money.

Finally, says Baxter County, try again next year. The message, however, seems to hint that the Humanists will be denied and face having to go to court again, perhaps in hope of getting equal treatment under the U.S. Constitution by 2016. Said the answer:

In other words, Baxter County plans massive resistance, at whatever legal cost, to adding a very modest alternative message to a holiday display currently limited to a single religion. OK, it's true. A Santa and Christmas tree have been thrown in to secularize the display a touch.

I still believe odds are strong for an outcome like that ordered by federal Judge Susan Webber Wright, a stalwart Republican, in the case of the attempt by the state to allow only a privately owned Nativity on a patch of state Capitol ground while denying a winter solstice display by free thinkers. The battle for a Christian monopoly Capitol holiday displays was lost.
