Second honour latestturn in remarkable lifeBY GRANT JOHNSTON AND LAURILEE MCMICHAEL (TAUPO WEEKENDER)

TC110112SP01

HIGH FLIER: Entrepreneur Richard Izard, OBE, CNZM, at the launch ofhis Taupo based luxury air charter service.

‘The biggestsatisfaction I get is ifsomeone takes an

advice from me and theysucceed, I get an

absolute thrill out of it.’RICHARD IZARD

Continued p3

Former Te Awamutu business-man and philanthropist RichardIzard says retirement would prob-ably kill him. ‘‘I like a bit ofexcitement’’.

That’s something of an under-statement. Mr Izard has beenfrom riches to rags and backagain during his working life,taking ‘terrible risks’ that didn’talways pay off and often walking atightrope between possible suc-cess and complete disaster.

But it’s that willingness to takerisks, to push to be best and alongthe way, to give others a hand up,that has netted him a New Year’sHonour forservices tobusiness andthe commun-ity.

Mr Izard,who alreadyhas an OBE forservices tomanufactur-ing, export andthe commun-ity, was nameda Companion ofthe New Zealand Order of Merit inthe New Year’s Honours list.

The 77-year-old established thehighly successful manufacturingand export business Izard Manu-facturing Co in Wellsford in 1980.He sold the company in 1994 andeight years ago moved to Taupowhere he has continued to run hisbusiness Izard Investments andset up his latest venture Izard Air,an air-charter and sightseeingcompany based at Taupo Airport.

But he scoffs at the thought ofever retiring, saying he has seenothers simply wither away withnothing to occupy their time ortheir brains.

‘‘I see people around me thathave packed up but I’m alwayscurious. I just love it.’’

From a wealthy family oflawyers and sheep farmers, MrIzard initially planned to becomea farmer. At 21 he married Pati-ence Holmes and was working asa head shepherd when a 44-gallondrum of water fell on him,breaking his back. It was touch

and go whether he would everwalk again, but even when herecovered, he could never farmagain.

With two small children intow, Mr Izard and Patience movedto England where Mr Izard spenttwo years working with a majormotor company.

‘‘I think the best thing Ilearned was how not to manufac-ture and how not to treat people,’’he says of that experience.

‘‘I took that on board and Icame back to New Zealand and Iwas a car dealer — but I hated it,absolutely hated it.’’

It was 1964and as a30-year-old MrIzard began hisbusinesscareer as theco-owner of acar dealershipin Te Awa-mutu.

He and AshGoile, anotheryoung manwho was

already trading successfully inOtorohanga, formed Goile andIzard Ltd, which operated thelocal Standard-Triumph dealer-ship.

Mr Izard went out andcanvassed every farmer in thedistrict personally, arriving at thecowshed ‘cold turkey’.

‘‘I told them who I was and whyI was selling cars. It seemed like awaste of time, but after a couple ofyears it started to pay dividends,and we became reasonably big.’’

In 1965 the partners bought asite on the corner of Cambridgeand Te Rahu Roads and built amodern showroom and work-shop, with BP putting up much ofthe capital in return for themserving BP petrol and guarantee-ing to open for 365 days a year.

B u s i n e s s w a s t o u g h .Allocated 12 new cars a yearfrom Northern Automobiles,with a margin of just £42 per car,making a profit wasn’t easy.

YOUR LETTERS

MP Ardern missing pointMr Ardern’s response to my comments

as to his accessibility totally fails to addressthe issues raised. In fact they make thesituation worse as they fail to mention anyintention to make improvement.

For a start, the example I gave as toanother MP related to post the MMPintroduction.

Further there has been an increase in thenumber of MP’s since that time from 90 to atleast 120. That is an increase of 25 % andtherefore a decrease in the workload of eachone by about that amount.

Their wages may well have increased bya similar amount so in real terms value for

money is way down.Mr Ardern’s comments defy logic and

reason.Not only that but they have a virtually

unlimited travel budget so Mr Ardern caneasily navigate SH 3 from Opunaki to TeAwamutu.

This was demonstrated by Helen Clarkwhen she was a party to the dangerousdriving by her chauffeur a few years agoand the Courts encouraged this byultimately discharging that driver withoutconviction so the precedent is set for MrArdern to drive fast to cover his electorate.

Recently the New Zealand Herald

reported that Mr Ardern was approached tocomment on his travel excesses and hedeclined so it’s not a question of can’t travel,it’s more one of ‘wants to travel elsewhere’.

I am left with the suspicion, based onhistory that Taranaki-King Country iswhere the less hard working and lessentrepreneurial MP’s sit out their time, liketheir leaders, in coffee lounges drinking teain public and waiting for the video camerasto see them and then screaming ‘unfair’when they are seen.

Alas, Taranaki is not the happeningplace that Epsom is.

Council meetingsand comments

Under the new editor of the TeAwamutu Courier it has been decidednot to accept letters from electedmembers about council meetings.

In short this means I cannotcomment or report anything thathappens in a public council meeting.

At times I feel that the minutes ofsuch meetings are compressed andmay not advise the public exactlywhat went on or the comments of thevarious elected councillors at thatmeeting or even which way theyvoted.

Personally I strongly believe infreedom of speech for everyone andtransparency in local government.

You elected us, you have the rightto know what your representativessay and do on your behalf — the goodthe bad or the indifferent.

It’s a sad day when an electedcouncillor cannot comment on apublic meeting.

VERN WILSON

Editor’s note: I believe councillorshave their opportunity to expresstheir views on issues at theirmeetings, but once they havevoted there is a collectiveresponsibility to accept thedecision — even if they opposed itduring discussions.I also believe in freedom of speechand allowing the public to knowhow their elected representativesview various issues, which is whythe new Councillor’s Forum hasbeen initiated.The Forum is open to all council-lors to comment on selected topicsdiscussed by Council.Ideas for topics can be provided byeditorial staff, Council and coun-cillors — or by you, the membersof the public.

Community farewellsformer Waipa Mayor

TC110112CFP03

WAIPA MAN: John Hewitt takes the mayor’s office 1995 and for two termsworked for a united district.

F o r m e r W a i p aMayor John Hewittp a s s e d a w a y o nDecember 30 after ashort battle with lungcancer.

Mr Hewitt becamethe second Waipa Dis-trict Mayor in 1995,storming home to winby a huge majority int h e l o c a l b o d yelections.

He had been part ofthe amalgamated Wai-pa District Councilsince its inception in1989.

He was a member ofthe Cambridge Com-m u n i t y B o a r d f o rthree years.

At the time he was aT e M i r o d r y s t o c kfarmer and during theb u i l d - u p t o t h eelections spent con-s i d e r a b l e t i m ec a n v a s s i n g p e o p l ewithin the Waipa tofind out their con-cerns.

The major responsewas that the amalga-mation wasn’t a popu-lar move.

Mr Hewitt recog-nised Cambridge andTe Awamutu werevery different towns,but felt they could co-exist as part of theWaipa District andworked hard to pro-mote that.

D u r i n g h i s s i xyears as Mayor heencouraged people to

have input into thedirection of counciland he will be fondlyremembered by many

Richard Izard honouredfor business, public workFromp1

‘I was rather shakenactually’RICHARD IZARD

‘‘The only way to pick up abuck was to screw the customer onthe trade-in,’’Mr Izard says.

The business grew steadily, inpart due to Mr Izard’s ability to‘work the regulations’ relating torestrictions around purchase ofnew cars.

In 1970 he bought out Mr Goile,changing the business name toIzard Motors Ltd. Known for hisflamboyance and free spending, ayear later he bought a plane for thebusiness — a used Cessna 150,which assisted with what wasbecoming a lucrative parts busi-ness.

The company already owned a19-foot, wooden Plylite Lapsrakeboat, which Mr Izard raced when-ever possible.

In 1973 he and his wife Patiencebought a ‘51-acre farmlet’ on thecorner of Flat Road and Golf Road,and installed an airfield.

‘They fly up to their own frontdoor’ ran the headline in theCourier.

But there was ‘turbulence’ahead.

A decline in market share forBritish cars and loss of competi-tive pricing compared to cars fromJapan, Europe and Australia hitthe car sales side of the business.

By mid 1971/72 the car marketwas near to free supply and therewere large stocks of new vehicles,driving down the value of stock onIzard’s yard.

It was a stressful time that wastaking its toll on his health and hewas a self-confessed ‘bundle ofnerves’.

He sold Izard Motors to sales-man Les Dobbs in July, 1974.

The following years involved‘constant and increasingly desper-ate entrepreneurial ventures in

search of the magic formula thatwould both find an outlet for hisenergy and ambitions and gener-ate the income he required’.

There were ventures into fibre-glass dinghies, outdoor furnitureand metal women’s hairornaments.

With little else going his wayIzard concentrated his effortsbreeding Simmental cattle — butultimately that venture failed dueto fickle markets and bad debts.

The Izards were left with littlemore than the shirts on theirbacks. It was a hard lesson, but MrIzard says, a useful one. He learntplenty about doing his homeworkand being careful about who hedealt with.

He and Patience fled toAmerica, where for a time theyexisted by selling sheepskin carseat covers from their car boot.

In 1980, still living in Americaand searching for something thathe could manufacture, Mr Izardhit on the idea of sawbladesthrough a contact.

The breakthrough came whenhe set up Izard Manufacturing Co,a Wellsford-based business thatmade tungsten carbide circularsaw blades. Initially, the bladeshad the tungsten carbide tipsattached by hand.

Mr Izard says the process was‘primitive’ and he realised that if itcould be automated, it couldrevolutionalise production.

Once Izard Manufacturingautomated the process, bladeswere able to be turned out in highvolumes and the purchase price

dramatically fell.Izard Manufacturing employed

500 people, operated 24-hours a dayand sold the blades into the hugeAmerican home handyman mar-ket.

When Mr Izard sold the com-pany in 1994, he was made an OBE.He went back partly to farming,flying aeroplanes and investing inproperty, something he still doestoday.

He also became a philanthro-pist, donating large sums to hisformer schools Wanganui Collegi-ate for its Izard Centre andHereworth School in Hawkes Bayfor its science and technologybuilding, as well as money forRodney College. In Taupo, he is agenerous supporter of the TaupoSPCA with a biennial donationand he says that’s part of hisphilosophy of looking after yourlocal town and your local people.

He credits his wife Patiencewith his success.

‘‘I’m very lucky to have got awife who stood by me. A lot ofwomen would have walked out.’’

Mr Izard and Patience movedto Taupo because it is centrallylocated and allows them to easilysee family members who are scat-tered around the North Island.

Having already racked up onehonour, he was surprised andembarrassed to receive the Gov-ernment House letter saying hehad been nominated for another.

‘‘I was rather shaken actually,’’he says. ‘‘I do a lot of helpingpeople, but that’s private. Butapparently it wasn’t always asprivate as I thought it was.

‘‘The biggest satisfaction I get isif someone takes an advice fromme and they succeed, I get anabsolute thrill out of it. I just wantto see people get on. I don’t want tosee people make the mistakes Imade.’’

Dairy Network staging financialplanning workshops nationwide

Empowering dairyingwomen with tips and tools totake charge of their farm’sfinancial planning will be thefocus of a series of practicalworkshops being held aroundthe country (including one inTe Awamutu).

Run by the Dairy Women’sNetwork, the Dairy Daysworkshops have been devel-oped to provide dairyingwomen with the skills andknowledge to create a budgetand cashflow, review their cashsituation, and be able to bench-mark their business.

“We ran a similar series ofDairy Days the past two yearsand we’ve already trainedaround 1000 women on a lot ofthe financial basics.

“DairyNZ has, again, pro-

vided funding for our autumn2012 Dairy Days and we will usethose funds to run the sameworkshops in new locationsaround the country starting inFebruary.

“We’ve also developed anew, advanced financial plan-ning workshop for womenwho’ve already gone throughour first round of training,”says Dairy Women’s NetworkCEO, Sarah Speight.

The financial planningDairy Days consist of practical,interactive sessions that pro-vide information about how tomake the best financialdecisions for dairy businesses.

There are three workshopsrunning at the autumn DairyDays catering for women at alllevels.

‘The Organised Office’covers office systems, basicfarm accounts and personalfinance.

In the ‘Cashbook toCashflow’ seminars,participants are taught how to:calculate farm income fromproduction data, deal withmajor categories of expendi-ture, calculate forecastedincome, and estimateforecasted expenditure.

The new, advanced ‘Essen-tial Farm Finance’ seminarswill teach participants how touse farm budget data to helpwith decision making.

A large part of the day willbe spent using budget data tolook at a proposal to buy moreland or look at a biggersharemilking job.

“By attending a Dairy Dayin their region, women willrealise they already have all theinformation they need to ade-quately plan for the financialhealth of their farming busi-nesses, even if they do notspend every day on the farm.

‘‘At most, women often justneed a few pointers on how andwhere to collate the informa-tion.

“Financial managementcontinues to be an area of farmbusinesses where women canadd significant value. Throughthese workshops, they’ll beempowered to make a realdifference in their operations.’’

Kids enjoy briefbout of sunshineWet, muggy weather set to continueBY CATHY ASPLIN

Many parents heaved asigh of relief as some fineweather arrived at the startof this week.

After days of wet, muggyweather there was a shortbreak and some sun onMonday, which providedan opportunity for childrento get outside.

For Zak Weastell and hismates it was a chance tohead to the Rewi Streetskate bowl on theirscooters.

His dad Shane says assoon as the showersstopped Zak announced itwas ‘scooter time’.

‘‘He got an upgradedscooter for Christmas, a

Mad Gear Pro Ninja, butwasn’t able to use it whilewe were holidaying at TeAkau.

‘‘So when we returnedand there was a break inthe weather, he was keen toget together with hisfriends and go out.’’

Mr Weastell says theyhad a few fine days at TeAkau — although they gotstuck in four-wheel drivevehicles going in and outon the wet days.

‘‘We tried to keep thekids busy and went fishingdespite the weather.

‘‘At home table tennishas been popular and wewill probably go to theindoor skatepark at TeRapa if the rain continues.

‘‘Te Awamutu is gener-ally good for fun things todo, especially when it’sfine. But they go stir crazyif they are are inside all thetime with nothing to do, so Itry to keep them activewhatever the weather.’’

While Mondayremained fine, the rainreturned yesterday and itlooks like the pattern ofunsettled weather is set tocontinue.

Showers are forecast forthe rest of this week andearly next week, withtemperatures predicted toget to 24 degrees andhumidity in the high 90’s,meaning the wet, muggyweather is here for a whileyet.

Ideas for indoors on rainy daysJust because you’re stuck inside, doesn’t

mean the kids have to do nothing. If onerainy day rolls into the next, they’ll beitching to use up some energy.

The Kiwi Families website has loads ofideas to get active while you’re indoors:• Make your own Ten Pin bowling alley byusing plastic soft drink bottles and a rubberball. Put a cup of sand in the bottom of eachbottle to give them weight, and then arrangethe ‘pins’ into a triangle shape at the end ofthe hallway.• Create an obstacle course that traipsesthrough the whole house, it will keep thekids occupied for ages. They can help createthe course and time each other to see whocan do it the fastest.• Dancing is a great way to burn off some

energy, so turn on some music and startmoving that body. If you have a house full ofkids, you could play musical games likestatues or musical chairs.• Make a Hut: Children of all ages lovemaking huts, and the older they get, themore elaborate they become. Pull out sheetsand blankets from the linen cupboard, andlet them use the kitchen table, loungefurniture or a clothes horse as a base.• Puzzles: Find-a-words, crosswords, wordjumbles, mazes, connect-the-dots – they’reall things that keep kids entertained, so itdoesn’t hurt to have a few puzzle books onhand for a rainy day.

Education and skills trainingcould open a new avenue. Mid-March, theend of June and mid-September will bringthe chance to start something new. It’salso an excellent time to get ahead in yourfield. A clear conscience is what makesyou a lamb at heart — and such atrustworthy worker. Move mountains bypromoting your ideals and aims.

LIBRACAREER

You have greattenacity and work ethicthis year. There’s agreat deal of fulfilmentin your career; you’ll enjoy changingtrack or expanding your repertoire toinclude the care of others. You’ll benefitby being flexible, by freelancing or bymultitasking. Full-time parenthood maybe an option this year; or work with apartner. If you were born end ofSeptember/early October, changescould arise due to your partner’scircumstancer. It’s an excellent year tobe creative while doing what isnecessary to maintain a healthy bankbalance.

TAURUSCAREER

You’ll be happy to putyour nose to thegrindstone — as long asactivities suit yourartistic and ethical sensibilities. Work inthe fields of beauty, health, pets,spirituality and healing will attract you,as will voluntary work. That is, if youcan tear yourself away fromdistractions. Saturn in your work zonesuggests you can, because you want tobe appreciated. The New Moon on April21 could bring work opportunity. Mid-year, you may be tempted to force acareer issue when this may not benecessary: potentially it’s an abundantyear — get set to make the most of it.

GEMINICAREER

You’re thinking big,you’re innovative andunafraid to implementyour ideas. The first fewmonths are excellent for research andstudy; March and June will give you thechance to begin something new. The risklies in not having researched optionsadequately. Business partnerships arebest kept fluid and dynamic and, if largeinvestments are involved, airtight contractsare recommended.Mid-June, mid-September and end ofNovember are possible hotspots for workdisagreements. However, with a positiveapproach, this year will see projects set forsuccess.

CANCERCAREER

It’s an excellent yearto boost your careerand interests. Youcould even turn a hobbyinto an income; or a favourite interestinto a career. This is your year todevelop your ideas especially if youwere born end of June/early July.Circumstances will lead you to newareas of work and it’s in your interest togo with the flow, especially mid-March.Holding on to the past will only hold youback in 2012, so investigate optionsthoroughly. A partner’s decision couldimpact on your own career or intereststhis year, especially mid-June and mid-September.

LEOCAREER

Abundant Jupiter inyour career zone isgoing to get you out andabout. If you’re nottravelling for work you’ll have a higherprofile than usual and this is anexcellent time to expand your options.It’s a great year to learn a new skill andto develop existing talents. Detailedfacts and figures will be necessary;avoid gambling financially. If you’reconsidering a business partnership,ensure your agreement is loop-proof. Ifyou’re starting out, this is an excellentyear to try different areas; you’ll enjoytesting the waters! November 29 couldsee a new interest take hold.

VIRGOCAREER

Practical andfinancially-savvy Saturnwants you to see someserious moolah this year.January is an excellent time to boost yourcoffers; and mid-October could even seeyou realising a long-term career dream.You’re particularly sensitive to otherpeople’s interests and wellbeing this year.Some form of voluntary work, especially inthe health industry, could attract you, aswill interests in connection with propertyand family, especially mid-March. Ensureyou have water-tight business contracts,as agreements could be subject torenegotiation mid-year and mid-September.

SCORPIOCAREER

As your ideas, valuesand circumstanceschange this year so, too,will your career, directionand interests. You’re likely to try somethingnew in 2012. The secret to success lies inhaving a solid financial plan. Your bankbalance is likely to take giant leaps — butcould equally dramatically trough in yourquest to carve out a new niche for yourself.You may need to weigh up fulfilment overincome; to accept work which may meanless cash but a better lifestyle, especiallymid-year, as those close to you have animportant say too. Mid-March couldpresent a potentially beneficial workcontract or financial agreement.

SAGITARRIUSCAREER

A strong work ethic andinterest in your favouriteactivities is going to keepyou reaching for yourpotential in 2012. Your personal life, andthe changes in the way you see yourself,will determine what motivates you and,ultimately, your direction in 2012. Thiscould mean a change of career, directionor even a move. An interesting propositionmid-March could capture your imagination;and the New Moon on June 20 could kick-start a whole new approach to what youwant to do, including the chance to achievea long-term goal.One thing’s for sure: there’s never a dullmoment in 2012.

CAPRICORNCAREER

2012 represents acrossroads for manyCapricorns. Dramaticas this sounds, thewonderful element is you’ll get thechance to revolutionise what you doand how you do it. So if you’ve alwayswanted to do something but have neverdared to do so, this year will presentyou with the ideal opportunity — atleast to research options available toyou. All Capricorns benefit fromtaskmaster Saturn’s blessings in 2012,and that will help you to plan and focuson your work and interests. AndNeptune’s influence will bring youmoney as a result.

AQUARIUSCAREER

2012 is going to spuryou on to get bang up todate with the latestgadgets and ideas, to jointhe most traditional and yet forward-thinking groups, and to get out of a rut.You’ve been in this process for at least ayear already.The difference is that in 2012 it will beeasier to order your thoughts and ideas, toplan activities and interests, and toincorporate your philosophies and beliefsinto your everyday life and work.Flashpoints are end of June, mid-September and end of November, whenoutmoded practices may need to bediscarded in favour of other options.

PISCESCAREER

It’s your year to makeyour mark by beinginnovative andadventurous andunafraid to take the lead. It’s your yearto get things right, and even to changecareer direction. An opportunity couldarise mid-March. Your involvement intechnology could blossom, as well asyour networking abilities. Mid-June andmid-September are hotspots at work;your tenacity and diplomacy will beuseful. These are also times you couldboost your status dramatically byproving how well you can take the lead— and how well you work as a teammember, too.

Our history...

The Museum is now displaying abutter roller from the Te Awa-mutu dairy factory. It bears the

Anchor name and is numbered ‘1880’which was the factory number.

The butter impression can be seenin action in one of the newsreelsshowing as part of the ‘SummerCinema’ film festival currently on atthe museum. The clip shows thebutter impression being hand rolledonto the top of 56 pound boxes of

butter.These boxes were then shipped

off the company’s dairy factory inSwindon in England where they werecut up and packed into smaller packs.

‘Summer Cinema’ runs until theend of January, and includes screen-ings of historic dramas and docu-mentaries about the local area includ-ing Rewi’s Last Stand.

Access to the films, and themuseum exhibits, is free.

New Year time to reflect— or get on with it?

BY DEAN TAYLOR - EDITOR

I was invited to take part inRadio New Zealand National’sSummer Report with Tim Grahamand Susie Ferguson over summerand thought it would be great forthe paper and Te Awamutu.

I studiously (for me) took awaysome reading from the past year soI could brush up on the velodromeissue which dominated our pagesand the letters pages for so long,thought of some nice commentsabout progress in the town basedaround the agricultural industryand retail development and weavedin the Courier’s 100th birthdaycelebrations and some quirkystories from 100 years of news.

I was told I would be on for threeminutes at 8.30am last Wednesday.

I got up early (remember I wason holiday on the Coromandel), hadcoffee, practised my best radiovoice, made notes and laid out somepages on the bed as a reminder.

Then I shut myself in the bed-room with the phone and waited.

The call came and Tim wasstraight in with the velodrome (Ihad emailed some topics so theycould prepare).

Before I knew it I was talkingabout Pak’n Save and Mega Mitre10 and it was all over — must havebeen about 30 seconds.

Anyone listening would have

thought the velodrome was going tobe built in Te Awamutu and we allwanted it because we have norecession here and everyone’s outshopping.

I felt like I let the paper and towndown.

Hopefully no-one listens to theshow.

The only good thing was it gaveme something to do on holiday.

Isn’t it strange when the sum-mer break doesn’t include anysummer weather.

We feel let down by weatherforecasters, nature and everythingin general.

And looking back over the pastyear only reminded me how fasttime seems to go and how much Ishould have got done, but didn’t.

That feeling was reinforced bythe sudden and tragic deathsrecently of a cousin, who isyounger than me, and a long timefriend from school.

Loss is a terrible thing andattending a funeral on New Year’sEve is a timely reminder to get onwith life and try and have noregrets.

New Zealand is going through atough time. The summer road toll isback up, the Carterton tragedyaffects every Kiwi, Christchurchkeeps shaking, violence seems rife.

But this a great country, lets tryand do better — starting now.

Don’t forget to send us your great summer snapshots toshare with our readers on the Snap Happy page.

They need to be sent through as large as possible with

your contact details and information about theshot (who, where, when, what etc).

If you haven’t yet taken that great shot, here’ssome tips for taking memorable photos.

1. Be prepared: Make sure you charge yourbatteries, have a memory card with plenty of spaceand the lens and viewfinder are clean.

2. Check your light source: To avoid havingbright foreground with dark background makesure your light source (the sun or bright lamps) arebehind you when you are taking the picture. Justmake sure you aren’t blocking the light and castinga shadow.

3. Think about your background: Don’t just lookat your subjects, look at what is behind them.Being aware of your background can make a hugedifference to your photos.

A busy background will distract from thesubject, a plain background will let the eyenaturally settle where you wanted it.

4. Fill your frame: Use the zoom function onyour camera to good effect, don’t be afraid to get inclose and get pictures of all the details, just likechecking your background, using the zoom toeliminate distractions can do wonders for yourphotos.

5. Use your tripod (if you have one): If you havea tripod, think about using it. Not only will it helpstop the ‘blurry picture’ syndrome, but will helpmake sure your photos aren’t on a strange angle.

6. Don’t forget to check your photos: There isnothing worse than spending the whole day takingphotos only to go back and look at them aftereveryone has left and find they are unusable. Makesure you stop and go through what you’ve takenevery now and then.

7. Last but not least, have fun: Don’t be afraid totry new things, new angles and new settings.

If you have plenty of time take the camera out ofautomatic mode and play around with settings etc.

Happy snapping!

Kiwi skill shortage predictedBY PHILLIP QUAY

An increase in the number ofNew Zealanders heading to Aus-tralia and an ageing populationwill result in a skills shortage inthis country in the next fiveyears according to RichardHoward, Managing Director ofPathways NZ, the Waikato’slongest established and leadingimmigration advisers.

Mr Howard was also theprevious Chairman of the NewZealand Association forMigration and Investment(NZAMI) and played a key rolein the legislation to licenceimmigration advisors in NewZealand

During the past year morethan 40,000 New Zealanders

have been lured to Australia —the highest number for 55 years.

‘‘We also have an ageingpopulation in New Zealand andthe particular demands of theChristchurch rebuild,’’ MrHoward said.

Latest statistics from theDepartment Of Labour indicatethat between 2006 and 2036 thenumber of the 65+ age group asa proportion of the working agepopulation is expected to doublefrom 18 to 40 per cent.

As a consequence of this thenumber of paid caregivers willneed to more than double from17,900 to 48,200 in 2036. At thecurrent growth rate there willonly 21,400 workers available by2036.

‘‘These combined factors are

going to hurt the economy atsome stage and there will bedefinitely be a shortage of cer-tain skills for New Zealand,’’ MrHoward said.

‘‘New Zealand will need toaccess more skills and bolsterits workforce to enable us tocompete with other countriesand to maintain an acceptablelevel of services locally.’’

‘‘This is where the migrantscoming to New Zealand can helpus fill such a void,’’ he said.

‘‘Obviously there will need tobe strict controls over entryrequirements to ensure weattract the right skills,’’ MrHoward said.

‘‘Maximising the skills levelof new migrants is vital forsocial and economic growth and

their contribution to New Zea-land is often overlooked,’’ hesaid.

PathwaysNZ has been oper-ating since 1992 and has assistedthe immigration process ofmore than 8000 people, fromalmost 80 different countries, tosettle in New Zealand.

PathwaysNZ currently hasfive licensed immigrationadvisers who deal with alltypes of immigrationapplications on behalf ofindividuals, families, workers,students, business investorsand a large number of localcorporates who utilisePathwaysNZ immigrationexpertise to either support cur-rent staff or assist with off-shore recruitment processes.

The Te AwamutuVolunteer Fire Brigadeconcluded a busy 2011with its final meetingfor the year on Monday,December 19 providingan opportunity for theawarding of the Inter-national Year of theVolunteer +10 medalsand bars.

2001 was the UnitedNations InternationalYear of the Volunteer, aglobal call to action torecognise the contri-bution of volunteers tosocieties across theworld, and the New Zea-land Fire Service Com-mission and the UnitedFire Brigades Associa-tion marked theoccasion with the issueof a special commem-orative medal issued tomembers of volunteerbrigades who were in

service at the time.As part of the tenth

anniversary of theevent the decision wasmade to provide similarrecognition, with thosein service receivingmedals, and the mem-bers who had receivedmedals in 2001 receiv-ing a bar worn on theoriginal medal.

In all 13 membersreceived medals, and 17received bars.

The medals areengraved with themembers name andcontain the inscriptionIn recognition of NewZealand Fire service vol-unteers for the Interna-tional Year of Volun-teers.

The medal is wornon a distinctive orangeand blue ribbon.

The awards were

presented by WaipaMayor Alan Livingstonand Te Awamutu ChiefFire Officer Ian Camp-bell. Mr Livingstonagain recognised thetime and effort that themembers of the fullyvolunteer brigade con-tribute to Te Awamutuand surrounding areas,and noted the fact that17 members receivingbars meant each ofthem had done at least10 years service whichwas commendable.

The commitment offamily, partners andemployers, a number ofwhom were present,was also acknowledged.

The Te AwamutuBrigade responded toover 345 calls for ser-vice in 2011 which seesit one of its busiestyears on record.

The last two weeksof 2011 saw attendanceat 18 jobs, including acall to a monitoredalarm, where the acti-vation of a smoke detec-tor allowed the brigadeto enter the vacantdwelling and remove aburning pot from thestove before major dam-age was caused, and acollision between a carand truck on AlbertPark Drive.

There were also anumber of weatherrelated calls, includingtwo to assist in Cam-bridge and two calls toflooding related eventsin Te Awamutu on NewYear’s Eve.

The busy run endedon New Year’s Eve,with no calls receivedin the first few days of2012.

tive Geoff Dangerfieldsays the statistics showthere is plenty of scopeto make motorcyclingsafer in New Zealand.

‘‘Looking at crashdata per kilometredriven, the risk of amotorcyclist beingkilled or seriouslyinjured on New Zealandroads is 18 to 20 timeshigher than that of a cardriver. There is muchmore that can be done

to improve safety formotorcyclists, and thisguide outlines somepractical steps that canbe taken.’’

While the guide isrelevant for everyoneinterested inmotorcycling safety, itsprimary focus is onhow to create saferroads and roadsides,and it will be of particu-lar interest to councilsand others who

implement safetytreatments on high-riskmotorcycling routes.

■ The draft guide andsubmission forms areavailable on-line atwww.nzta.govt.nz andclick consultation. Thedeadline for contributionsis Friday, January 27. It isexpected that the finalversion of the safetyguide will be available inMarch, 2012.

Students spent theremainder of the weekin Waikato University’sscience and engineer-ing labs, analysingsamples andconducting experi-ments to determine theenvironmental andphysical changes to theriver and the surround-ing land as it flowsbetween Taupo andHamilton.

Group presentationsby the students broughtthe week to an end.

WANGANUI trained Sonny Wellington wins the Molly Dawson Memorial Lightfingers Cup in the hands ofKaren Bruce.

TC110112CT05

LARRY REID, co-owner of Sonny Wellington.

‘All going to plan, we’llbe back again this time

next year to have acrack at retaining the

Cup at the 142nd annualequalisator meeting’LARRY REID

Co-owner

There’s one sure bet well inadvance of this year’s Boxing Dayrace meeting at Pirongia — plansare afoot for 2011 winner SonnyWellington to defend the MollyDawson Memorial LightfingersCup.

The long trek from Wanganuiproved well worthwhile for theKevin Myers’ trained cup winnerprior to starting at two meetings atKumara, on the West Coast nearGreymouth.

Ridden a well judged race byjockey Karen Bruce, Sonny Well-ington held off a withering late runalong the inside rail by Penumbra(Chris Dell) in the 2100m featureevent.

Dell was gunning for a thirdstraight Pirongia Cup winning ride,

having piloted Black Fox to victorylast year and stablemate BeggarsBanquet in 2010 — both trained byhis father Kevin at Byerley Park.

Penumbra mowed down all theother runners, with the exception ofSonny Wellington, after being deadlast entering the home straight.

Bruce was ecstatic after ridingout her owners/trainer’sinstructions to a tee, having beentold: ‘‘He’s always a front runner,let him do his thing, don’t try tofight him.’’

The six-year-old gelding byMagic Ring out of Sunset Boulevardwent into his Pirongia Cup engage-ment with a record of three wins,two seconds, one third and a braceof fourths and fifths from 26 starts.

‘‘We’ve had him since purchas-ing him as a ‘baby’ at the WanganuiSales,’’co-owner Larry Reid told the

Te Awamutu Courier.‘‘Credit must go to Newmarket

Lodge, where he was bred, andtrainer Kevin Myers, who hasmanaged him very well.’’

Reid commented that it mayhave been his first visit to PirongiaBoxing Day races, but it certainlywon’t be his last.

‘‘All going to plan, we’ll be backagain this time next year to have acrack at retaining the Cup at the142nd annual equalisator meeting.’’

Secretary, Murray Walter saysthe Alexandra Racing Clubappreciates Kevin Myers’ teamtravelling all the way from Wanga-nui, along with the likes of fellowtrainers Graeme Rogerson andTony Cole, who always support themeeting.

‘‘This year’s meeting was par-ticularly well supported by theLight Harness people.’’

The annual 10-race meeting, acombination of gallops and trotting,attracted a crowd of close to 7000.

‘‘Although numbers wereslightly down on past years, it’s stillgreat knowing that we can pullseveral thousand, given a fineweather,’’ says Walters.

Everyone appeared to be havinga ball at the traditional non-toterace meeting.

In between having a flutter ($1per ticket) on the races, groupswere seen tucking into left overfood from Christmas day, havinggames of cricket, badminton,swing ball, or taking children forrides on the likes of the bouncycastle, jeeps and merry-go-round.

Walter says the racing club isgrateful for the huge support itreceives helping run the day fromthe likes of the race sponsors,Lions catering, Pirongia SchoolPTA, Pirongia Golf Club, St JohnAmbulance, police, security per-sonnel and the many volunteersfrom the Ngutunui district.

The club makes donations tothe various clubs who help makethe meeting a success.

Life membership for Pirongia duo

TC110112SP16a

MERV CAIETC110112SP16b

JIM DUNN

Life membershiphas been bestowed onlong serving membersof Pirongia Golf ClubMerv Caie and JimDunn.

‘‘For those of us whohave worked closelywith Merv, we havealways admired him forhis integrity, generos-ity, energy and abilityto deal with thingsimmediately, and neverstepping back fromwhat needed to bedone,’’ says secretaryCharlie Coles.

Mr Caie became amember of the matchcommittee in 1999.

After five years inthe role he commenceda three year stint as

club captain in 2004.In his first year, he

selected a winningPrebble Cup team.

In his last year asclub captain he also

became vice-presidentand, having recentlyretired, was grabbed forthe works committee,remaining there eversince.

In 2007 he becamepresident, and fullydevoted himself to theposition for four years.

In addition, he hasbeen chairman of thetwilight committee for‘about’ seven years, andalso saw the need to sitand obtain his barlicence for the benefit ofthe club.

During Mr Caie’stime as president, sev-eral major projectswere undertaken.

One that has provedto be of huge benefitwas the moving of thePirongia Fire Forcebuilding, to become anew green keepersshed.

The main entrance

was widened, levelled,fenced, resealed, and asecurity gate installed.Caie saved the clubmoney by doing most ofthe preparation workhimself, which eventu-ally cost him a lot oftime and major head-aches. Until recently,he was the only one ableto understand thetiming mechanism.

Renewing the stairsup to the lounge wasanother project.

All these projectsrequired a lot of prepar-ation time, especiallyresearching the bestdeals for the club.

His practical skillsand ability were turnedto extremely good use

many times for theclub, and his ‘fix itproperly’ attitude hasalso been of enormousbenefit.

During most of histime as president, MrCaie had a continualbattle with his health,but at no stage did heallow it to affect hiswork in running theclub, or attending theregular solid days ofwork on the course.

Jim Dunn joined theclub in 1994.

He immediatelybecame involved in allaspects of manual workrequired to keep thecourse and surroundsimmaculate.

Countless hours

have been spentspraying, cleaningunder trees, plantingand maintaining in andoutside the club house— ‘‘He always seems tohave a paint brush inhis hand,’’ says presi-dent, Shirley Grey.

A member of thehouse committee seeshim behind the bar onmost club and extracalendared days, and attournaments extractingmoney at the hagglehole to help withexpenses.

‘‘Jim is a man whohas never wanted theposition of executiveoffice but is alwaysthere to help in so manyways,’’ says Mrs Grey.

Aussie artist returns to RSA

ALLAN WEBSTER

Allan Webster is the guestartist at Sunday’s Te AwamutuCountry Music Club monthlymeeting in the Te AwamutuRSA.

Mr Webster was the 1999South Australian Champion ofChampion of Country Music andhas been involved in the musicindustry for over 45 years.

His involvement began as ateenager in England during the60’s, playing at the same venuesin Liverpool as the Beatles,Gerry & the Pacemakers and TheSearchers.

He immigrated to Australiain 1964, and formed a band, ‘TheRoad Runners’, playing a typical‘Mersey Sound’. The band soonbecame very popular in SouthAustralia and especiallyAdelaide.

Other bands emerged overthe years and they supportedmany visiting national andinternational artists, such asJohn Farnham, Marcia Hinesand Freddy & the Dreamers.

In 1977 Mr Webster and hisyoung family moved toMillicent, in the south east ofSouth Australia, where he con-tinued with his music.

Swapping the old ‘Mersey

Sound’ for a country twang inthe mid-90’s proved to be a wisecareer move and in recent yearshe has become a successful solocountry music artist, providinghim with the opportunity totravel both interstate and over-seas.

His debut album ‘Joker’sWild’ was released in 2002.

Following his retirement in2003 he released his secondalbum ‘Guitar Man’.Otheralbums have followed nd theywill be on sale at the RSA.

After performing at the Bay ofIslands country rock festival inNew Zealand in 2005, he wasinvited as the only Australianartist to perform at the MartonFestival in January 2006.

This in turn led to beinginvited to the New PlymouthFestival of Lights and theMarton Country Music Festivalwhere he will perform again thisyear.

While in New Zealand MrWebster performed at theHawera Country Music Club, theHall of Fame in Manaia, TheTaranaki and MerrylandsCountry Music Club, thePirongia Country Music Club,Ngaruawahia Bowling Club andthe Te Awamutu RSA.

His return to the Te AwamutuRSA is in conjunction with theTe Awamutu Country MusicClub on Sunday (1pm- 6pm).
