BRIEFLYKey changes to shopper ‘promo’

Te Awamutu businesses are being invited to apply to be part of this year’s big shopping promotion being organised by Brett Watson of Carpet and Curtain Court Te Awamutu.

Mr Watson organised the ‘Million Dollar Promotion’ for Te Awamutu last year.

It is planned that the event will be run on a similar format this year, with a couple of key changes.

The person whose name is drawn for the major prize at Albert Park would have the chance to select an envelope, with one winning envelope containing $250,000 - while all the other envelopes would see them win a new Mitsubishi Lancer.

The promotion is subject to suffi cient retailers supporting it. For more information con-tact Mr Watson at 0274 715 991.

Silver CAB lunch next month

Te Awamutu Citizen’s Advice Bureau turns 25 soon, and they are planning a celebration.

The organisation is holding a 25th Birthday Luncheon at Waipa Workingmen’s Club on Friday, October 12.

They would like any past or present members, volunteers or workers to contact the CAB before October 5 to register their intention to attend.

They are also asked to help spread the word to people who may have left the district.

Either phone the CAB on 871 4111 or call into the United Arcade offi ce between 9am and 3.30pm weekdays.

Counting cost of education

Schools had to personally raise almost $508 million to keep themselves afl oat in 2006, says National’s Education spokeswoman Katherine Rich.

Ministry of Education sta-tistics for every school in the country show $507,939,583 was raised by schools to plump up government funding.

“Of that, $155 million was donated by parents person-ally, a further $57 million was from donations, and a further $80 million was rustled up by fundraising.”

Building momentum for youth centre

By Grant JohnstonA vision held by a dedicated

group of Te Awamutu people for a youth centre in the town’s CBD is building momentum - literally.

Fundraising co-ordinator, Chris Gadsby is leading a project to build a house in a picturesque rural setting near Kihikihi - with profi ts giving the youth centre project a jump start.

Mr Gadsby, an agent with Ray White Real Estate, says the idea for the project came to him early one morning.

“I sat bolt upright in bed, woke up my wife Yvonne and told her that I had heard God telling me that we should buy the Brill Road section and build a house to help the youth centre.”

The couple did just that - putting up the $165,000 for the section purchase from their own funds. Once the property sells they will be repaid, but in any-one’s book it is an act of faith on their part.

It is hoped that the housing ini-tiative will raise around $80,000 for the project.

“I know just how sincere and passionate the people involved with the youth centre project are and how genuine the need for it is. We owe it to the youth of our town to give this our utmost support,” Mr Gadsby says.

“We’ve had so much goodwill and support already. People know how important this project is.”

The section owners discounted the section and have offered to remove hedging and help with fencing.

Ray White Real Estate list-ing agent, Neville Kemp gave up his commission and company principal/owner, Gregg Tickelpen-ny matched that - reducing the section price by another $7,500.

Lawyers for both the purchas-ers and vendors waived their fees. The BNZ has discounted loan interest.

There have been offers of dis-counted or free labour from a roof-er, electrician and plumber (other tradespeople welcome - contact Mr Gadsby at 027 246 5800).

There is no shortage of youth volunteers willing to help out with landscaping, painting or anything required of them.

Te Awamutu Youth Services, a recent initiative set up by Living Waters Trust, has 140 clients al-ready, assisted by 10 volunteers.

It is a not-for-profi t social serv-ice organisation with a focus on youth.

Leaders are affi liated to differ-ent local churches and include Intermediate School teacher and youth pastor, Geoff Brown (direc-tor), youth counsellor/teacher and youth pastor, Anthony Campbell (secretary) and youth worker Elizabeth Shoobert.

The establishment of a youth centre in town is seen by the group as a pressing need.

“We see that the youth and young people within our commu-nity have a lack of safe spaces and environments,” says Te Awamutu Youth Services.

“We work with young people on a daily basis and many of us are not long past the age of being classifi ed as teenager, so we can easily relate with the youth and see their dilemmas in relation

to the lack of entertainment and knowledge of resources available to them.

“The youth centre needs to be a stable, suitable and accessible facility, where all youth are wel-come, regardless of their personal background, ethnicity, gender or status - a facility that will cater to the needs of youth and is relevant to them.

“We know that when the youth centre is running, the services and programmes we will offer will not only effect our existing clients, but also the many youth and families within Te Awamutu, as well as local schools, businesses and the police (curbing youth crime).

“We aim to assist in the holis-tic development of youth in Te Awamutu. We aim to provide safe environments for youth to make positive life choices and to encour-age participation in activities that will benefi t our wider community and enable them to gain an ap-preciation for serving the com-munity.

“Youth need to know that people care about them.

“Resources need to be read-ily available and support services must be well known and accessi-ble to them in order for the serv-ices to be used to their maximum potential.”

The plan is to lease a suitable facility in the CBD and to pay a youth worker to run the facility (with plenty of volunteer help). There is a projected annual budg-et of $80,000 including all operat-ing costs, equipment, programme costs etc.

Volunteers have already ap-proached the group offering to run art, martial arts and carving programmes, as well as carrying out tasks such as cooking and helping in the everyday running of the facility - including free ac-counting services.

If you wish to fi nd out more about the youth centre project or to help in any way, phone Te Awamutu Youth Services at 871 3888.

In response to the letter by P.G. Woods relating to the sale of ‘replica’ guns in Te Awamutu and Hamilton.

The writer may be confusing rep-lica guns with imitation fi rearms, airguns and toys. An imitation fi rearm is a model of a fi rearm sold without requiring the purchaser to have a fi rearms licence.

A number of spring-loaded look-alike guns are sold in variety shops across the Waikato. In terms of po-licing, these spring-loaded items are designated as toys and fall outside the Arms Act and do not require a permit to import into the country.

Replica fi rearms as defi ned under Sect 8.4 of the Arms Act are exact working copies of original fi rearms and as such a fi rearms licence is required to purchase.

Airguns that dispel projectiles by use of compressed air are air guns and are also subject to sale

restrictions and the vendor must be licensed.

Though the spring-loaded imita-tion fi rearms are designated as toys the Te Awamutu vendor is a licensed dealer and maintains an arms register. The vendor is vis-ited regularly by staff from Waikato Police’s fi rearms section and there have been no reported breaches of the terms of his licence.

In terms of legislative change relating to the sale of these items Police, as the enforcement branch of Government, only enforce existing legislation.

Any proposed changes to the act have to come from elected repre-sentatives in Parliament.

The public can be assured should any changes be forthcoming Police will enforce those amendments.

Replicas not toys

A big thank you to the commu-nity for putting your trust in me to represent you on Environment Waikato for the next triennium. Both John Fisher and I are proud to receive your mandate for this part of our region.

The next three years offer many interesting challenges for us with the on going work of Council in supporting good environmental stewardship of the many wonder-ful resources that we have in our area.

The new Waipa/King Country ward has a great variety of re-sources, from our top producing dairy pastures and strong hill country farms, to the energy resources of water and wind; to the precious west coast harbours and peat lakes; to the outstand-ing natural bush landscapes of

the mountains of Maungatautari, Kakepuku, and Pirongia, plus the Rangitoto ranges. From the trout streams like the Maungatutu to the whitebait rivers of Marokopa, Awakino and Mokau we are truly blessed. But an environment is nothing without its people, and the ward is experiencing the vibrancy and optimism that comes with growing communities and strong economic growth.

Our challenge is to ensure the development of our region is in the long term sustainable, and the bal-ance between using our resources now and ensuring they are there for future generations to enjoy is an ongoing one.

I look forward to the next three years of working for you.

8/07

By Dean TaylorWhen Cambridge

Road resident Grant Townley was woken by his dog Sam in the early hours of Thursday morn-ing, and heard crashing and banging, he thought he was being burgled.

He quickly realised his house was well on fi re when he opened the door to the kitchen and was engulfed in thick,

black smoke.Mr Townley headed

back to his front bed-room, threw some clothes off his bed out of the window, and fol-lowed them.

He said it was only then he realised some-one had been calling into the house, and he answered he was on his way out and found a passing tanker driver had stopped and was

making sure the occu-pants were okay.

Mr Townley watched as the Te Awamutu Volunteer Fire Brigade arrived and brought the blaze under control - probably too late to save the older cottage style home.

He had just the clothes he grabbed off the bed, and later a pair of old sneakers he found on the back step, left.

Firefi ghters managed to prevent any seri-ous damage to his car parked in the adjoined carport.

Mr Townley’s saviour, his black labrador, also watched from the neigh-bour’s property as their home was razed.

NO WATERFirefi ghters were hin-

dered initially by a lack of water.

Waipa District Council had turned the nearest hydrant off for repairs just a day or so before the fi re and fi refi ghters had to run 160 metres of hose to the next nearest hydrant.

They say it appears the hydrant had been leaking for some time, so if members of the public see a fault such as that it should be reported im-mediately so repairs can be carried out with some urgency.

Fire safety offi cers at the scene on Thursday found the fi re to be ac-cidental after it was deemed one of the appli-

SAVIOUR SAM: Grant Townley’s dog woke him when his house was burning around him after his smoke alarm failed to go off. 254073CD

ances in the lounge was to blame.

Mr Townley had un-dertaken a fair bit of work on the property since taking ownership.

A great believer in alarms, and smoke alarms, he had bought the place with both in place, but believes he may have inadvertently disabled the smoke alarm when he changed from a monitored sys-tem.

The other scenario is that he didn’t check the batteries often enough, and they simply went fl at.

Firefi ghters say home-owners need to be vigi-lant about smoke alarm maintenance, and often remind homeowners to test their systems.

They say if Mr Townley’s system, which was also hard-wired with the security system, was somehow deactivated, that is a major concern.

Either way Mr Townley’s smoke alarm did not activate, and without sam to wake him the consequences could easily have been fatal.

He says it was scary how fast the fi re had got hold of his house and how quickly it spread.

The front, right beside his bedroom, was an inferno.

Mr Townley says it scares him to think what might have hap-

pened if he had had his two daughters visiting at the time.

IN SHOCKHe believes he was in

shock for most of Thurs-day, running on adrena-line, then the horror set in and he couldn’t face the house.

He says the support of the fi refi ghters, his neighbours, friends and Waikeria workmates has been fantastic.

Now it is just the wait for insurance assessors to determine the fate of his home before he can start over again.

Sporting trials sees motor action return to Pirongia

The Sporting Trials Championship Round 3 staged at Pirongia recently was a roaring suc-cess, with 13 drivers pitting their skills against the slippery conditions and each other.

The overall winner on the day was the Aus-tralasian Champion Sid Hirst from Taranaki in car number 1.

“It was great day with good local support,” says Stuart Henderson, one of the local organisers (and competitors).

“Special thanks to the Waikato Club for hosting the event and to Wayne Henderson for the use of his property. See you all again in March 2008,” Stuart Henderson says.

A wonderful response from the public on Daffodil Day saw the Waikato/Bay of Plenty re-gion raise in excess of $500,000 for the Cancer Society.

Jo Bell, Daffodil Day regional spokesperson, says the Cancer Society is extremely grateful to everyone who supported the

appeal, including many groups and volunteers who got behind it.

“Daffodil Day is vital to the Cancer Society. We receive no direct government funding so are entirely reliant on dona-tions and fundraising.

“Daffodil Day also helps to

raise awareness of cancer in the community as well as of the Cancer Society and the support and services it provides.

“It is important to note that all the money donated in the Waikato/Bay of Plenty will be spent on cancer services in the region.”

Daffodil Day proceeds topped half a million in region

Rock ‘n’ roll for RyanAaaah - thankyouverymuch! That’s what Ryan

Boss and his family and supporters are saying to everyone helping the youngster with his treat-ment for Global Development Delay.

Now a group of people have come forward to or-ganise a fundraising concert for Ryan - ‘A Rock ‘n’ Roll Tribute’ is being staged at Te Awamutu Bible Chapel on Saturday, October 27.

The locally produced show starts at 7.30pm and features the great rock ‘n’ roll music from the 50s and 60s as presented by The King and a Beatles tribute band.

Tickets are just $10 and are available from the Te Awamutu Courier, Paper Plus and Aloft Hair Design.

Fundraising will help with costs of Ryan’s treatment, and to help fund the proposed visit by representatives from the Australian Institute for Achievement of Human Potential. They will set a development programme for him.

A number of volunteers have stepped up since the plight of fi ve-year-old Ryan featured in the Courier. He is doing daily exercises that will boost his development.

His mum Michelle Young says “We’re just so grateful to people for volunteering to help Ryan to develop as well as possible.”

More volunteers for the exercise programme would be welcomed. People just need to be able to give half-an-hour to an hour to help.

For more information or to volunteer to assist or arrange a donation contact Ryan’s grand-mother, Tina Young at 871 3348 or his mum at 021 1445527.

Free cycle confi dence courses are being offered by Sport Waikato and Waipa District Council in October.

The ‘Waipa On Yer Bike’ courses are designed to teach skills and techniques necessary for participants to become safe and confi dent cyclists.

Sport Waikato district sport co-ordinator Paula White says the courses are for “anyone and everyone” - with a focus on qual-ity delivery for the participants.

“It’s for any person who has been thinking they want to get back on their bike, but just don’t know how to,” she says.

“This joint venture between Sport Waikato and Waipa Dis-trict Council is about providing a safe, fun and friendly envi-ronment so we can help people overcome those barriers.”

Police will assist with delivery of road code components, and lo-cal bike retailers will teach ex-pertise on techniques and bike maintenance.

Ms White says local cycle routes will be covered, including how to navigate any ‘hot spots’ around town.

Courses are being held in Te Awamutu and Cambridge.

“Men and women of all ages

and abilities are welcome. If you don’t have a bike or helmet, don’t let that stop you - we’ll help supply the equipment.”

Registration is essential and Ms White says participants must commit to attending the course on one morning for three weeks.

The Te Awamutu course will be held at Te Awamutu Events Centre, 9.30am-11am starting Thursday, October 11. For registration form phone Kim on 07 838 2657, email [email protected] or download from the Waipa page at www.sportwaikato.org.nz

Great Value CarsGreat Value Cars YOUR LETTERS

I found the article in your newspaper on the rezoning of land at Picquet Hill very shallow and a poor example of reporting.

It left us with more ques-tions than answers.

Firstly; did your reporter enquire as to the reasoning behind the rezoning from the Council, where was their side of the story?

Secondly; from what I under-stand, just because it’s been rezoned doesn’t mean Mrs Pollard has to sell – does it? Why is everyone presuming that she will be forced to sell the property or that it will be subdivided at all?

Surely nothing will happen unless Mrs Pollard decides to do something.

Is Mrs Pollard upset because she is worried that the rezon-

ing will mean the land is worth more, and it may mean she pays more for her rates?

Or is she worried someone will offer her more money for the land than she can turn down? Where’s the rest of the story?

PETER HANNAMEDITOR’S NOTE: There was an invitation for Council to offer “their side of the story” but the person who would have done that was on leave. However, an earlier article on the proposed rezoning had dealt with the Council ration-ale for pursuing and funding rezoning of land in the Pic-quet Hill area - in a nutshell a perceived need for attrac-tive subdivisable land in Te Awamutu area. What the ar-ticle dealt with was the irony that the bulk of land in the

area being rezoned belongs to a landowner who is totally opposed to the rezoning. As identifi ed by thoroughbred stud owner, Elizabeth Pollard, the rezoning will inevitably lead to issues where a horse stud and residential housing surrounding it are not com-patible. A valuer I spoke to estimated that the land was likely to treble in value if rezoned - but as Ms Pollard stated ‘Money can’t buy time’. A belief that it was her right to elect not to ‘take the money’ and to continue with her current land use was one of the major reasons for doing the article. The Council deci-sion on whether to proceed with this rezoning and the reasons for that decision will be published as soon as they are released.

What about Council side of story?

Council gone crazy?I cannot believe what the Council is trying

to do by rezoning land. I live in the United States and it sounds

like something they would do here. I plan on coming home some day, because

people here are nothing like Te Awamutu people and had hoped to do it to a town I know and love. But, now it sounds as though all you want is to become huge and full of people who don’t care about the town as they should.

I don’t want to come home to a town full of so called yuppies. I brag all the time to peo-ple I meet, about how great the town is and I always tell people you have to visit because people get to know you really well because it is a small town.

You know that is the best place to live. So as far as I am concerned, go ahead

Council and you will drive away the people that make Te Awamutu great! You will re-gret it.

VICTORIA WILSON-REICH

Te Awamutu fi refi ghters are volunteers too

Firstly I’d like to commend the Pirongia Fire Force, both in terms of the service they provide, and the fundraising they undertake to fulfi l their goals.

For an organisation of their type in a small town, they achieve a great deal.

But to the people of Te Awamutu, don’t forget that your own fi re brigade are also fully staffed by volunteers. That’s right, none of them are paid either.

This is only something I learnt recently on a visit to Te Awamutu Fire Station with my daughter’s playcentre group. At that time they were responding to an average of a call-out a day over a large area.

Overall. I will be happy if either of these or-ganisations get extra money from the commu-nity, which they clearly deserve, but perhaps Te Awamutu people and businesses need to re-member the saying “charity begins at home”.

A few fi ne days in a row and many of us are thinking ‘spring’ thoughts.

This may mean preparing your house to start selling it or perhaps just getting it spruced up ready to enjoy those long summer months ahead.

If you’re faced with a limited number of free weekends what should you tackle fi rst? Start out-side.

Get outside chores planned, so you put every fi ne day to good use. Interior jobs that need doing can then be fi tted into evenings or rainy weekends.

If you are using professionals to waterblast walls, paint roofs, clear gutters or clean driveways, call them now for a quote - and book them.

There is often a waiting list as they get busy into spring.

The same goes for window-cleaners, tree-trimmers and the like.

If you’re looking at redoing the gardens book a bulk delivery of garden mulch, while a skip would be useful if you’re planning a big clean up.

Decluttering the big stuff makes a huge difference to your property.

You’ll be amazed how tidy and spacious your house and garden will look after a day’s working bee.

Clear the garage and carport, under the house and the side yards where building rubble tends to linger.

Get rid of broken garden furni-ture, rusty swings, tumble-down sheds.

Welcome spring and visitors to your home - a new doormat, smart pots at the front door and a sweep up of the cobbles and paths will complete your outdoor spruce up for spring.

Spring clean your section

NOW is a great time to start you spring cleaning of your house, garden, paths and driveway.

Daffodils herald spring

Daffodils and the rest of the trum-pet-shaped narcissus family herald the arrival of spring.

Although the golden yellow daffodil and heavenly scented paper white narcissus are the most popular varie-ties by far, there are now many more to choose from, ranging in colour from various shades of yellow and gold to creamy white, soft peach and vibrant orange.

The fl owers originated in the Mid-dle East and take their name from a young man who, according to Greek legend, fell in love with his refl ection in the water and pined to death.

Narcissus are said to have sprung from the earth at the spot where he died. They have also been immortal-ised by great writers such as Socrates and Wordsworth.

Drifts of daffodils are a visual feast for eyes jaded by the dull days of win-ter and even the smallest section can cope with clusters placed under trees and around hedges. They can equally be grown in pots, baskets, rockeries

and borders and will perform in either full sun or light shade.

Narcissus are generally tolerant of most soils, although they do like a heavy mulch to help suppress weeds and retain moisture through summer.

As you probably won’t need to lift your bulbs for at least four or fi ve years, care in choosing your site and a little preparation are important.

Bulbs do require adequate drain-age, otherwise they’ll simply rot in the ground. If the area you want to plant them in is characteristically soggy, either build a raised bed or consider using pots.

Planting in pots has a couple of ben-efi ts - you can tuck them out of sight while you’re waiting for those fi rst spikes of brilliant green to appear and move them again when they begin to look tatty.

Unless you plant prolifi cally, your fi rst seasons’ display may look a little sparse, but rest assured they will mul-tiply over the coming years to produce that poetic ‘host of golden daffodils’.

Everywhere you look this spring, you’ll see pots and containers in gardens.

Whether muted, understated elegance or bold, bright hues there’s something to suit evey garden.

To go with them there’s a riot of brightly fl owering plants.

Top of the planting list are perennial petunias. Ruffl ed or not, in mono-colours or variegated, its

hard to fi nd a plant to beat them for abundant, long term fl owering.

Dahlias are of course excellent bedding plants as well.

No pots? No problem. Bring out your baskets, that old kettle, or even that old wheelbarrow

The idea of all that bric-a-brac is to make your gar-den look lived in.

If you have a rusty old bike, slap on a coat of paint then hang baskets off the handle bars and carrier or

fi ll the bike basket with a profusion of fl owering plants. Wicker baskets can also be given a coat of paint be-fore being planted out and positioned on the patio or in a strategic corner of the garden.

This look works exceptionally well in a cottage garden, but if you have minimalist leanings it can look just as good.

You can recycle old pots or containers - just choose two or three large containers with strong simple forms and choose a single, bold colour such as black, yel-low or blue to paint them.

If you don’t want to plant your containers with fl ow-ers, try succulents, such as the echeverias, which rely on their foliage for impact and come in eyecatch-ing greens, reds, browns and bronzes.

There are plenty more otions available - for more formal touches try standard daphnes or roses, or sin-ply refl ect what you have planted in the garden.

POTS and containers provide a great addition to any garden - whether in muted colours or bold bright hues - they can be changed around, added to or moved to suit the season.

Winter is over - spring is offi cially here - so how is your garden looking?

Not so good, perhaps, after a winter of neglect.

It’s all too easy during the dark months not to keep the garden up to scratch - the weather’s too cold or wet, or there’s a game of footy on TV.

So if you’re one of those fair-weather gar-deners who have been hibernating, now is the time to catch up and put in the groundwork.

When the warmer spring days arrive kids immediately start playing more outside, which can result in your lawn getting compacted.

If that’s the case, it’s time to improve your lawn’s aeration and drainage and give it a boost with fertiliser.

To aerate your lawn, fi rst give it a good soak-ing.

Then take a garden fork and pierce the ground to about a third of the depth of the tines, or around 10-15cms, and give the fork a little wig-gle each time.

Repeat the process all over the lawn at a space of 15cms or so.

Push a little sandy soil into the holes with the back of your rake.

Aerating your lawn in this fashion will improve its uptake of water, nutri-

ents and air.Now nourish your lawn

with a reputable fertiliser. You’ll need to repeat this step every fi ve or six weeks during spring to keep it looking at its best.

Throughout spring and summer, water your lawn thoroughly once or twice a week, rather than giv-ing it a quick dousing.

Deep watering encour-ages grass roots to head deep into the ground, where they remain pro-tected from sun’s damag-

ing heat.And when it comes

time to mow that mead-ow, don’t set the mower’s blades too low.

Cut your lawn severely and you’ll encourage shallow-rooting and a proliferation of weeds.

If you have a conven-tional mower, don’t just leave the clippings to rot on the lawn.

POWER INTO THE GARDEN TIDY UP

To get rid of that scruffy, neglected look

around the garden its time to tidy up the trees, shrubs and bushes.

You may need some pruning equipment - lop-pers, hedge trimmers, will help speed up the process.

What about those brick, paved or concreted areas? Winter has a way of giving them a build-up of moss or slime.

If that’s the case, you can hire a water blaster to take care of paths, driveways, garage fl oors, barbecue areas etc.

Looking after your lawn

POWER into your spring gardening - and don’t forget the lawn.

By stopping smoking, exer-cising regularly and eating a healthy diet, you can greatly reduce your risk of having a stroke.

That is the message from Malita Cognet of the Midland Region of the Stroke Founda-tion during Stroke Awareness Week.

“About 80% of strokes could be prevented if people threw away the cigarettes, exercised regu-larly and cut back on alcohol, salt and fat. We also advise the people of the Midland Region to have their blood pressure and cholesterol checked.”

Mrs Cognet says when some-one does have a stroke, fast action can make all the differ-ence to just how devastating the effects are.

“If someone can’t smile prop-erly because one side of their face is droopy, can’t raise both arms because one side has become weak, or had sudden diffi culty speaking, dial 111 and get them to a hospital fast. The sooner they get medical help, the better the outcome will be.”

For more information about the stroke foundation, check out the website www.stroke.org.nz

FREE CHECKSAs part of Stroke Awareness

Week, Te Awamutu Rotary Club will stage a display from the caravan outside BNZ tomorrow (September 12).

There will be an opportunity for people to have their height, weight, blood pressure and blood sugar measured and a

stroke assessment done.Stroke Foundation fi eld of-

fi cer Sheryl Waters will be in attendance.

For more information ring John Earwaker at 871 7255.

Wet, wet, wetThree months in a row with

above average rainfall have left low lying pastures sodden, reports Te Awamutu weather watcher, Paul Hobbs.

August saw 146mm, com-pared to the average of 126mm - contributing to more than 70mm extra rain in June-Au-gust, compared to the averages for thee three months.

“At least spring blossoms and bulbs hint at better things to come,” Mr Hobbs says.

YMI players serve up badminton wins

Murray Orr and Gail Ford-ham lived up to their pre-tour-nament favouritism winning the Shirley Irving Memorial Trophy at Te Awamutu YMI Badminton Club.

An element of luck is nor-mally needed to win any drawn partners event - and it certainly was the case in this instance.

Fordham, the club’s top ladies’

player, drew Orr, consistently among Te Awamutu’s top half dozen men’s players for many years.

Their opponents in the fi nal were another ‘lucky draw’ in Gary Coburn and Donna Dav-ies.

Orr and Fordham won a close contest 21-17 to claim the most sought after trophy outside the

club championships.Section winners were (1)

Coburn/Donna Davies, (2) Paul Davies/Naidi Pratt, (3) Orr/Fordham, (4) Jonathan Walker/Hayley Rush.

In the semi-fi nals, Orr/Fordham eliminated Walker/Rush 21-12, while Coburn/Donna Davies accounted for Paul Davies/Pratt 21-16.

Made most of lucky draw

By Colin ThorsenVisiting players again had to play second-fi ddle

to the hosts when Te Awamutu YMI Badminton Club staged their annual open mixed doubles tournament.

Te Awamutu YMI men’s and ladies’ singles champions Jonathan Walker and Gail Fordham teamed up to win the B grade, contested by 26 players, while the tried and true combination of Rakesh Rawat and Leonie George triumphed in the D grade.

East Coast Bays’ Eric Chen and Wendy Browne prevented a Te Awamutu clean-sweep by winning the C grade.

The event attracted entries from Auckland, North Shore, East Coast Bays, Thames Valley and throughout the Waikato.

Walker and Fordham beat North Shore’s Warren Parker and Loverly Lee 21-17, 21-14 in the B grade fi nal.

Their toughest matches came in sec-tion play.

Three teams emerged with a fi ve wins, one loss record in their section.

Walker/Fordham lost in two straight games, 21-16, 21-16, to club-mates Glen Organ and Anita Bailey, who in turn lost to Paeroa’s Bruce Adlam and Ala-na McRobbie 21-6, 21-18. Adlam/McRobbie’s only loss was to the eventual winners Walker/Fordham 21-14, 21-16.

A countback, won by Walker/Fordham, was necessary to de-cide which of these teams went on to meet Parker/Lee in the fi nal.

The C grade fi nal was won in two straight games by Chen/Browne over their East Coast Bays’ club-mates Grant and Jackie Judge 21-18, 21-19.

Both pairings went through section play un-beaten, winning all their six matches.

It was an all-Te Awamutu fi nal in D grade.Rawat and George extended their fi ne record

in the tournament beating their club-mate Mike Shum and his Japanese exchange student Akane Marushima 21-15, 21-12.

It was the runners-up Shum and Marushima’s only loss in six matches, while Rawat/George emerged unbeaten.GAIL FORDHAM

Goldfi elds humble Hamilton

CENTRE OF ATTENTION: Plenty of support for the players at Albert Park on Goldfi elds opening day as Te Awamutu winger Jesse Forbes takes the attack to South Waikato, with fullback Mitchell Braun in support.

By Colin ThorsenChances of Te Awamutu retaining their Gold-

fi elds rugby crown were enhanced with a hard-earned 19-12 win over Hamilton.

It was Te Awamutu’s second win on the trot fol-lowing a fi rst up loss to unbeaten Western Bay of Plenty and victory over South Waikato at Albert Park a fortnight ago.

Te Awamutu, the 2006 under-45kg champions, outscored Hamilton three tries to two after lead-ing 7-5 at halftime at Fred Jones Park, Hamilton on Sunday.

The second half was an evenly contested affair, with the scores locked at 12-all with 10 minutes to play before Te Awamutu nailed the match-win-ning try.

Locks Joshua Reynolds and Angus Seddon and No 8 Matthew Van Tol all dotted down for Te Awamutu, with Robert Kaihe adding two conver-sions.

Team manager, Te Oti Kaihe said it was another much improved showing by the defending cham-pions.

“The players are now starting to gel as a unit, something that was lacking fi rst up against West-ern Bay of Plenty.

“If they continue to improve and work as a team, not as individuals, we’re in with a shot at retaining the title.”

Te Awamutu went down 24-5 to Western Bay of Plenty but took heart from the fact that they were held up no fewer than four times over the Bay try line.

Their scant reward was a try to No 8 Angus Sed-don.

Te Awamutu must now rely on one of the other teams to end Western Bay of Plenty’s unbeaten run on closing day at Te Aroha this Sunday.

The Bay chalked up their third straight win beating Thames Valley 22-17 on Sunday.

Each team has two games at Te Aroha - Te Awamutu play King Country at 11am and Thames Valley at 1.30pm.

Te Awamutu are a big chance to win both match-es. They have grown an extra arm and leg since losing fi rst up.

The coaches adjusted their team for the second round game against South Waikato, shifting Adam Buist into the loose forwards to join the impressive Mathew Van Tol. This pair are the only campaign-ers from last year’s team.

The move proved to be a master stroke. Te Awamutu dominated from the kick off, turning over quick ruck ball, ensuring the backline could show their skill.

Te Awamutu starved South Waikato of both pos-session and territory. They led 12-0 at halftime and ran out the victors 22-0.

Assistant coach Mark McNaughten said the game against the Bay had been a tough introduc-tion into representative rugby for a lot of the new players.

“They now have a greater understanding of what is expected.”

Three 180s thrown Mark Webb, Les Liddington and Ken Bardsley

all threw 180’s in round four of Te Awamutu Darts championship.

Waikeria beat RSA 17-6, Arrows dealt to No-mads Too 17-6 and Warriors accounted for Rebels 16-7 in division one.

In divisioon two, Odds & Bods beat Joy’s Riff Raff 13-4, Hobbits pipped Nomads 9-8 and Pirongia Hotel edged out Allsorts 10-7.

LJ Hooker team moving to bright, new premises on Mahoe Street

LJ HOOKER’S new premises (41 Mahoe Street) allows more space for the growing real estate business.

Local Knowledge, Trust, Friendliness, Professionalism...

These four key words describe how customers feel about LJ Hooker - one of the world’s most trusted, most often chosen real estate companies.

LJ Hooker does it all and does it better - with special-ist knowledge and friendly, personal, tailored service that goes beyond buying, selling, renting and manag-ing property - comprehensive and seamless services to suit your personal needs.

The Te Awamutu branch of LJ Hooker was started by Ken and Heather Hagan in 2000 with a team of six.

Over the past seven years this has grown to an award winning team of 18 with a number of high achievers on the staff.

LJ Hooker also has a rental division - starting with 14 properties, this has grown to 125 and is still rising.

Because of this rapid growth the LJ Hooker team has outgrown its premises on Alexandra Street.

Franchise owner Ken Hagan says their shift to a new

building on Market Street this week is an exciting step forward.

“It is a modern, high profi le building, with great space and light in the new offi ces. It caters well for our large team and gives them room to move, which they are pretty happy about. Just ask manager Diane Tyer - she’s been in the same offi ce for 19 years and is more excited than most!”

Mr Hagan says they also wanted to make a mark in their hometown.

“We wanted a premises that we could not only be proud of for ourselves, but for Te Awamutu as a whole.”

LJ Hooker takes pride in offering Te Awamutu a service that is ‘simply the best’- it is no surprise the local real estate offi ce was named the 2006 LJ Hooker Franchise of the Year.

... so we invite you to enjoy the ‘nobody does it better’ LJ Hooker experience.

In the 13-19 division, best net went to Pirongia 17 handicap-per Ken Bardsley with a 65, followed by Jim Dunn on 67 and

Wayne Russo 68. Stableford prize went to new

Seager eyeing up golf double

David Seager showed his intentions of complet-ing the championship double shooting a one-over-par 73 in the opening round of match play at Pirongia Golf Club.

The 2007 strokeplay champion won the scram-ble with a score of 6-up on par.

The nine handicapper took the honours from Phillip Eyre on 5-up and Ray Shaw 4-up.

In the juniors, 20 handicapper Dick Thomas posted an 88 off-the-stick for a score of 4-up, heading off a group on 3-up - Tony Charlesworth, Peter Robertson, Barry Cavey, Pete Morris and Josh Russo.

Twos were recorded by Sam Russo, Don Liv-ingstone, Arthur Mitchell, Ray Shaw and David Strawbridge. Nearest the pin went to Charlie Coles and longest putt to Jim Dunn.

Other notable scores:Seniors: D Strawbridge, S Ryburn, D Livingstone 3-

up. Juniors: M Caie, R Goodhew 2-up.

Tocker pulls off ripper catchFormer Midlands representa-

tive cricketer Graham Tocker was the big winner at Pirongia Golf Club this winter.

The ex Midlands representa-tive cricketer’s name was pulled out of the hat, winning two night’s accommodation and breakfast in a premium room at the Chateau.

Throughout winter the club has had an ongoing ‘participa-tion prize’ event, with the spon-sorship prize put up by Bayview Chateau Tongariro.

To be eligible for the prize draw, players needed to compete in at least seven out of 10 speci-fi ed Sundays.

It was amended to six out of nine when one Sunday’s play

was washed out.It was hoped that the general

manager of Bayview Chateau Tongariro would be available to play and present the prizes.

However, due to a busy week-end at the hotel, he was unable to make it.

Prizes were presented by Michael Cullen, a member at Pirongia and also Corporate Ac-count Manager for Ecolab New Zealand.

Ecolab also put up a number of prizes and it was through Cullen’s contacts that the club procured the Chateau prize.

The idea of the event was to encourage more members to play golf over the winter period - something the club appears to

have achieved.In 2006, over the correspond-

ing weeks, the average number of starters on Sunday was 47.

That number increased by more than 20% to 57 starters each Sunday this year.

Well over 40 members com-peted in at least six of the nine events to be eligible for the draw.

Additional prizes from Eco-lab went to Ross Scown, Barry Cavey, Kevin Nickson, Dick Thomas and Don Livingstone.

It was generally agreed that the event had been highly suc-cessful and it is hoped that it would could become an annual fi xture of the men’s programme.

Patron and life member George Mandeno had the honour of delivering the fi rst bowl to offi cially open the 2007-08 season at Te Awamutu Bowling Club.

The fi rst jack was rolled up by fellow life mem-ber Bobbie Thompson.

Club president Ken Garrett welcomed mem-bers and visitors to the club.

The visitors included Bowls Waikato chief executive Warren Towers and president Ruth Rawlinson.

Winners on opening day were Noel Ballinger (skip), Grace Snellgrove (two) and Chas Taylor (three).

The fi rst summer tournament run by the club was won by the John Byett skipped team com-prising Rod Killgour, Margaret Littlewood and Jim Bishop. The runners-up were Joan Pollard (skip), Doris Mackey, Ted Sircombe and Miles Purser. Both the winners and runners-up re-corded four wins.

Fairview Motors sponsored the event.

Te Awamutu Courier and CDs4nix (formerly Tracs) give readers the chance to win a double pass to catch Quarter2 at Hamilton’s Elevate Youth Hall, East Street on Saturday Septem-ber 29.

Support acts are Eqwanox, Kingston, Last Ride Home and Arms Reach.

What! Never heard of Quarter2? They won the United States based competition to open last years New Zealand Taste Of Chaos show, a feat which saw them sharing the main stage with top internationals including Taking Back Sunday, Anti-fl ag and Saosin.

Better news still - they’re coming to Hamilton as part of their new EP ‘Taking Arson To New Heights’ release tour.

The songs on the new

EP - and there are sev-en plus bonus tracks - express Quarter2’s new direction.

From high energy songs such as ‘U.C.,’ ‘So Delicate’ and ‘Play-ing With Fire’ to your party background song ‘Falsify’ with guest ap-pearances from Rupe from The Rabble. In this EP, Quarter2 have stepped away from ska and developed a more high energy rock sound.

They also share their personal emotions with the song ‘Cutting You Out’, and then fi nish it off with ‘Rewind,’ a catchy punk rock bal-lad with a solid power-ful chorus.

Main support will be our own Eqwanox whose scintillating set will include songs that saw them take out the Waikato Bay of Plenty regional fi nal of The World Battle Of The Bands and earn them a place in the National Final at the Kings Arms in Auckland on October 6.

Eqwanox have not been resting on their laurels since scoring the coveted support slot for Smashing Pumpkins front man Billy Corgan in 2005 at only their fourth ever performance. This rock trio from the Waikato with a Pop-punk/Grunge feel and a lis-tenable edge have been strutting their stuff with some of New Zea-land’s fi nest including The Rabble, The Man-agers, The Midnight Youth, False Start and

of course Quarter2.Their music has

appeared on C4’s M.E.A.T.Y. and Stu-dentville, other local student stations, and featured as ‘demo of the week’ on The Rock FM radio network.

‘21st Story’ is currently enjoying ‘A’ rotate status on Hamilton’s 89FM Backbeat FM and ‘Killing Time’ was used by Wellington fi lm-maker Ben Cowps in a surfi ng video featuring some of New Zealand’s top exponents of the sport; a copy of which can be found on the bands’ Myspace page www.myspace. com/eqwanox

The ‘Killing Time’ video also featured on Alt TV recently.Eqwanox also have a human side and proudly support ‘The New Zealand Child Cancer Foundation’ (www.childcancer.org.nz), because “We believe kids should not die before their parents”.

Throw in Kingston, Last Ride Home and Arms Reach and you have a gig that will rock you till you drop. Tickets are $10 and doors open at 6.30 p.m. We recommend you get there by at least Quarter 2 !!

To be in to win simply put your name, address and daytime contact number on the back of a standard sized enve-lope, address it to the ‘Quarter2 Double Pass Competition’ and make sure it reaches our of-fi ce by 5pm Friday.

Win double pass to Quarter2
