Max following familyfootsteps at school

BY DEAN TAYLOR

TC310512DT01

FIVE-YEAR-OLD Max started at Pirongia School on Monday — following the family tradition started by hisgreat-grandfather Clarence and continued by his grandfather Phillip (left) and father Shannon (right).

Max Eyre couldn’t wait to startschool on Monday, unaware it wasquite a milestone for the school andhis family.

In fact his fifth birthday was onSunday and he was keener on goingto school than having a party.

Max is the fourth generation Eyreto go to Pirongia School — and thesixth generation on the O’Shea Roadfarm.

Pirongia School opened in 1873,and although the Eyres were alreadyfarming on O’Shea Road there is norecord of their attendance until Clar-ence started in the 1920s.

He was born in 1917 and the familywas living in Tauranga when the callcame to return to run the farm.

When Clarence started schoolthere was just one double classroom.Half that building is now PirongiaPlaycentre.

‘Clarry’ left after Standard 6 andwent straight onto the farm.

He married Patsy and their sonPhillip started Pirongia School in1958 — the year of the big flood.

Phillip says he had only been atschool a few days then got a week offuntil flood waters receded.

At that time there were sixclassrooms and an office.

He went on to finish his schoolingat Te Awamutu College, then wentonto the farm.

Phillip and his wife Heather’s sonShannon was born in December 1980.

He had his first three weeks atPirongia School at the end of 1985 —his mother recalling the biggest thrillwas riding on the school bus.

Shannon went on to Te AwamutuIntermediate and Te Awamutu Col-lege and is now on th farm with hiswife Katharine.

Max is the oldest of three boys.Blake is three-and-a-half and Georgefive weeks old.

The school now has 13 classes anda roll of 276 — and runs a ballot fornew students.

Max was fully prepared for hisfirst day — he’s already had six weeksof weekly visits to his room to get thehang of school.

And many of his friends arealready there, so it was a veryexciting day for Max when he finallygot to start this week.

Beautiful experience at RegentRecently I spent a special

evening in lovely surround-ings enjoying a musicalperformed by StephenSondheim’s company.

They were accompanied bythe New York PhilharmonicOrchestra.

This brilliant ensemblecast included many of the topnames from American film,stage and television. The per-formance was at the AveryFisher Hall at the Lincoln

Center, New York.Was my long-time wish to

visit this great city and attendproductions at its iconic hallsand theatres a reality at last?

Actually, no. I was downthe road from home seated inCinema 5 at our Regent ‘‘TheTheatre Beautiful’’.

The movie was one of theshowcase screenings filmedand recorded at public per-formances of operas, musicalsand classic stage plays,

released to cinemas for limitedscreenings.

They allow us to become amember of the audience atthese worldwide amazingvenues, taking in top interna-tional performers andorchestras.

We have to thank AllanWebb for securing these filmsthat give us so much pleasure.

The fact that he has giventhe 80-year-old Regent 38years of his passion and com-

mitment is great for Te Awa-mutu. We now have an excel-lent five-cinema complex,offering movies for all agesand tastes and we are theenvy of many surroundingtowns.

Congratulations on yourwell deserved Life TimeAchievement Awards andbest wishes to you and yourstaff for many more years atour iconic theatre.

Show some courtesyI find myself after two

weeks of unemployment turn-ing into one of those dis-gruntled job hunters.

I spend at least three hourson the computer each morning,searching the job sites, writingapplication letters and sendingaway my CV. Nearly all of thepositions require someonewith good interpersonal andcommunication skills, some-thing they obviously lack intheir business as they neverreply.

In this internet-based,automated age, how hard is it tosend an automated response toall email applicants thankingthem for their application?

At least they would knowwhether the application hadbeen received or not.

Recently Xtramalfunctioned for a short timeand many emails never left hostcomputers or are still floatingin cyberspace.

A Te Awamutu officerecently had 65 applicants foran advertised position, all onemail. I heard nothing fromthem, despite being suitablyqualified for the role, and onlyfound out the position had beenfilled when I phoned.

What example areemployers setting when theyare so rude to their potentialcustomers? Yes, staff are yourcustomers too. So step upemployers, and show somecommon courtesy. Even a‘‘thank-you but no thank-you’’is preferable to no answer at all.

Plain English on the BudgetBilly’s Budget was a

cracker. I see many jobs createdin the criminal, legal, justice,punitive and counsellingsectors, all of which are unpro-ductive.

These jobs will result fromillegal acquisition and tradingin brown gold, solid and liquid.

The Key to all this is plainEnglish.

Taken for a rideAfter all the controversy

about the rates we all need abit of light relief.

When Waipa Council wasconsidering the $1 milliongrant to the Home of CyclingTrust for the velodrome,apparently a marketing expertwas called in to advise.

His prognosis was that $1milllion spent on thevelodrome was the biggestbang for bucks the council wasever likely to achieve in pro-moting Waipa as the sportingcentre of New Zealand.

Last week the Home of

Cycling announced a sponsor-ship deal with the Bank ofNew Zealand who proclaimedthat with the city’s newcycleways and purpose-builtvelodrome, Hamilton reallywill become New Zealand’shome of cycling.

Hamilton City Council sen-sibly refrained from contribut-ing to the velodrome but arenow well set to reap the public-ity and benefits.

It looks like we have beenshort changed or perhaps eventaken for a ride.

Cat death horrorI read with horror and dis-

gust in the ‘What’s hot, What’snot’ column about some peoplewho trapped a cat and shot itrepeatedly until it died.

It made me sick to mystomach and I hope to hell itwasn’t my poor cat who hasbeen missing for nearly a

week.That cat must have suffered

a painful and terrifying death.Truly unbelievable!

I hope authorities areaware and guilt sets in forwhat an inhumane act youhave carried out.

PIRONGIA resident Fiona Hood and son Lewis at their favourite spot at the Kaniwhaniwha Reservebeside the remnants of a fire. Demolition timber, nails, cans and broken glass were also left behind.

BY CATHY ASPLIN

Fiona Hood and her sonLewis (8) have spent many happyhours picnicking and playing atthe Kaniwhaniwha Reserve nearTe Pahu.

‘‘It’s a magic spot where chil-dren can paddle in the streamand play on the stones. There’s awaterhole and walking tracksnearby. We’ve been going therefor picnics since my son’splaycentre days.’’

But when they went to thereserve for a picnic on SundayMrs Hood couldn’t believe whatshe saw.

‘‘The first thing I noticedwere skid marks on the grass.

‘‘As we went down to thestoney ‘beach’ area I could seepieces of wood that looked likeoffcuts from a building site in thewater. Many of them had nailssticking out of them and therewere other bits scattered every-where.

‘‘There was also clear evi-dence of a bonfire and there weremore nails left in the ashes.

‘‘My first thought as a parentwas that I couldn’t just leavethem there.

‘If a child came running downto the water they could easilyended up with a nail in their foot— which could be a nasty injuryand would also mean hours atA&E.

‘‘There were also beer cansand broken glass bottles. It wastotally irresponsible. Clearlythese people weren’t parents andthey didn’t have any considera-tion for anyone else.

‘‘I can’t believe someonewould do that at such a beautifulplace. It made me really sad tothink this special area had beenvandalised.

‘‘Over the years there hasbeen a lot of work done at thereserve to make it a family-friendly spot.

‘‘There are fewer places likethat today that families canenjoy and I would hate to think itwould be ruined by the actions ofa few inconsiderate people.’’

Your chance to have sayon Waipa District Plan

Residents have the chance tohave their say on the proposedWaipa District Plan from today.

The plan outlines the poli-cies and rules as to how landcan be used, including subdiv-ision, and seeks to protectbuildings and landscapes andother places that are of value.

In approving the proposedplan for public notification,Waipa District Councillorsacknowledged the award-winning effort made by staff inthe plan’s preparation.

Planning and communityrelationships manager RossMcNeil said the notification ofthe proposed district plan is asignificant milestone for thecouncil and the community.

‘‘Today is the culmination ofwhat is approaching four yearsof work and it is an unparal-leled example of integratingplanning,’’ he said.

Waipa District Council waslast year awarded the NewZealand Planning Institute’sNancy Northcroft Award forsupreme planning practice forthe work preparing the draftproposed district plan.

Mr McNeil said the work hadbeen comprehensive in terms ofconsultation and there hadbeen hundreds ofconversations and thousands ofpieces of feedback. .

‘‘The strength of the processhas been its inclusiveness, par-ticularly with iwi, and it hasmade for sound planning andpositions Waipa well for thefuture,’’ he said.

Mayor Alan Livingston paidtribute to the staff who havebeen working on the plan sincethe project began in 2008.

There had been a number ofkey areas of change as a resultof feedback on the draft

proposed plan including:• Revision of significantnatural areas;• Refinement to the layout ofthe draft plan and the planningmaps to ensure easier use.• Refinement of objectives,policies, rules and assessmentcriteria to reflect the WaikatoRiver Vision and Strategy;• Additional heritage itemsand protected trees;• Refinement of cultural land-scapes;

‘‘The work that has beendone will further enhance whatis a district plan that alreadyacknowledges the uniquenessof our district,’’ Mr Livingstonsaid.

Cycling centre meets funding conditions

file picture

ARTIST’S IMPRESSION: The proposed Avantidromevelodrome Home of Cycling to service the Waikato, Bay ofPlenty.

Waikato Regional Coun-cil has received independ-ent confirmation thatfunding conditions havebeen met enabling its $6million contribution to helpbuild a national cyclingcentre of excellence nearCambridge.

Last December the coun-cil finalised the terms andconditions which had to bemet by the Home of CyclingCharitable Trust by Junethis year before the councilwould grant the $6 million.

The conditions related toproject governance, probity,and funding, and weredesigned to protect the rate-payer contribution to theproject.

In his report presentedduring the council’s longterm plan deliberations

today, Mark Renner of Ham-ilton law firm TompkinsWake said the council could

‘‘reasonably conclude thatthe funding conditions havebeen or will be met’’.

Deloitte, which under-took due diligence of thetrust’s business plan,including funding,cashflows and capitalexpenditure during con-struction, also reported tothe council.

Deloitte partner DougWilson said the trust hadsecured funding of $22.4million, which represented78 per cent of the totalfunding required. He saidwith the availability of aBNZ loan and underwriteagreements, the trust hassufficient funding to coverthe total cost of the project.The trust has indicated itintends to continue fund-raising activities, whichshould further improve thetrust’s financial position, hesaid.

Mr Wilson concludedthat ‘‘some risks remain asthey do in all major capitalprojects . . . , but these canbe appropriately managed’’.The underwrite agreementsand other fundingarrangements, coupled withdrawdown schedule whichphases the payments duringconstruction, means ‘‘therisk to WRC and ratepayerfunds have been mitigated’’.

Following considerationof the advice, councillorsvoted to include the $6million contribution in the2012-2022 Long Term Plan.

Deliberations on the longterm plan continued atyesterday’s meeting, wherethe grant was expected to beconfirmed as this editionwent to press.

Once approved, rating for

the project will begin in yearone of the long term plan,with the funding comingfrom internal borrowing.

The trust will receive thefunding over 15 months,receiving an initial $1.4million on July 1, 2012. Thiswill be followed by a furtherfive drawdowns of $1.15million each in October,2012, January, 2013 andApril, 2013, $250,000 in July,2013 and $900,000 in October,2013.

Deloitte has confirmedthat this schedule mitigatesthe council’s probity risk.

Sport New Zealand hasconfirmed its $7 millionfunding contribution to the$28.5 million facility, whileWaipa District Council hasconfirmed its $1 million con-tribution.

Council backsdebt focus

Waipa District Council is in support of theGovernment’s focus on getting efficiency gains anddecreasing debt in the local government sector.

Following deliberations on its 10-Year Plan,Waipa’s debt profile has been reduced by $40million from the levels signalled in the council’slast long term plan.

Chief executive Garry Dyet said the council wasparticularly interested in efficiency gains thatcould be made by collaborating more closely withother local authorities in the Waikato region.

‘‘There is a lot happening around local govern-ment reform at the moment and we understandthat a bill outlining the Government’s proposalswill be introduced to the House shortly.

‘‘The G mayoral powers and the process forconsidering changes to local government bound-aries.

‘‘The second deals with a framework aroundlocal and central government regulatory roles, aninvestigation into efficient infrastructure pro-vision and review of development contributions.

‘‘It is possible this later stage of the reformpackage will change the manner in which servicesare planned, procured, or delivered to ratepayers.

‘‘My advice to the Mayor and councillors hasbeen to wait and see what the effect of phase two ofthe reform will be.’’

Sandie Nicholson

It is all very well ourGovernment want-ing to save us all

from all the money thatis owed... but to take itfrom our children?

Some of the familiesthat have children whoare earning just so theycan buy gifts at Christ-mas or learning to savefor later on, for some-thing special that mumor dad can’t buy thembecause they them-selves are out thereearning so there is foodon the table. Ridicu-lous!

A complete nonevent, most wasreleased in

advance.On budget day tele-

vision showed clips ofBill English posturinground and holding upthe budget document.

Reminds me ofancient Rome whenNero played the fiddlewhilst Rome burned.

The Budget didnothing to raise thebasic wage to help alarge part of the popula-tion who are in a desper-ate financial positiontrying to make endsmeet.

Hitting kids withsmall part time work istotally despicable.

The Government ismore interested inpandering to the creditrating agencies likeStandards and Poorsthan doing somethingpositive like buildinggrowth into the econ-omy.

The Government islooking to the rebuildingof Christchurch to pro-duce economic growth,but it’s very doubtful ifthe building industryhas the resources to meetdemand in a timely man-ner.

The industry man-power and skill levelshas shrunk substantiallyover the last few years.

Nick Empson

Businesses, beingpersons underthe law, are

amoral — devoid ofmorals rather thanbeing immoral.

They are motivatednot by egalitarianismor fairness but byprofit.

Their cynicismtoward the public purseis to siphon off as muchas possible withoutpublic awareness.

As backers and chiefbeneficiaries of currentgovernment policytheir strategies showup not in the bones ofthe budget but in theways others mustimplement them.

As in business, costsand risk offloads ontoother parties such aslocal government, andeducators who must cutstaff and increase classsize, taking the flackwhile policy makersplead innocence.

Smokers are treatedlike a drug pusherwould, increasing theprice incrementally tokeep the goose that laysthe golden egg alive fortax and profit.

This gangrenousthinking infects thewhole budget.

Within the letter ofthe laws they make?

Ask Banksie. Mor-ally right?

I ’m focussing oneducation, welfareand the environ-

ment.Our best teachers

may be interested inbeing rewarded inother ways than beingpaid more: resources,courses, contracts totalk to parents or men-tor developingteachers. Ask them.

To tackle health andsocial problems on arational basis, we needaction on the researchby Wilson and Pickettin ‘The Spirit Level’.Their researchsupports that reducingour income gap to thatof the most equalcountries would resultin fewer people inprisons and hospitals,and a society that willwork better for every-one.

Rather than taxingchildren, it would bebest to follow Australiaand make the first fewthousand dollars taxfree.

It should not be theenvironment thatsuffers when times arehard. Cuts to resourcemanagement, watermanagement and mar-ine environment willnot be cost effective.

Nor will the assetsales plan according toTreasury.

I n looking at theBudget 2012 theonly thing I can

gather for certainty istobacco is going up 10per cent every year forthe next four years. Av e r y w e l c o m eincrease.

T h e r e i s m u c hdebate about the pos-sible loss of techno-logy teachers’ jobs.

The Minister forEducation is anticipat-ing little impact, as aresult of the teacher-student ratio changesf o r y e a r 7 a n d 8learners, being incor-porated into the year2-10 curriculum staffratios.

Teachers unionsproject job losses ofover 1000 teachers inthe primary and inter-mediate sector.

This is very con-flicting information.

The education ofour children is thefuture; this changelooks to negativelyimpact the quality ofthat education, a con-cern.

The 20 hour subsidyrates for childcarecentres will continue,but will not increasewith inflation; thismay see some centreshaving to up their feesto cover any risingcosts.

CMP name continues in town

TC310512CA03

OWNERS Alan and Kelly Patterson in their new store.

BY CATHY ASPLIN

The longstanding Te Awa-mutu business name ‘CMP’ con-tinues with the opening of CMPPicture Framing and Gifts onAlexandra Street.

While most people associateCMP with the Patterson family,who operated CMP Paints for 60years, few probably realise whatthe initials stand for.

Alan Patterson says mostpeople assumed it had some-thing to do with paint.

‘‘Actually it stands for thethree original owners — Carter,Maloney and Patterson — whoopened a paint store in 1951.’’

Over the years the storeadded DIY items, framingservices and gifts.

It also added Colourplus in2007, but late last year thePattersons decided to relinquishtheir franchise.

When the Arawata St storewas taken over by Robyn andGraeme Purser, Mr Pattersonand his wife Kelly decided tocarry on with the framing andgifts in a separate store.

‘‘It was always our intentionto keep the picture framinggoing, probably from home, butthe opportunity came up to opena store on Alexandra St.

‘‘So with great support fromour landlady Jean Warburtonwe were able to turn thepremises into a great space todisplay gifts and for our framingservice.’’

CMP Picture Framing andGifts stocks a range of gifts fromfigurines, plates and pictures tohip flasks, picture 21st keys,chess sets and brass ornaments.

Mrs Patterson says they havealso kept their range of dragon

figures which were hugely popu-lar at the previous store.

Mr Patterson has over 25years’ experience in framing andcan put the finishing touch toany photograph, certificateposter or piece of memorabilia.

Several examples of his workcan be seen among the impress-ive collection of posters at theRegent Theatre.

He says modern materialsallow for longlasting protectionof items. ‘‘There have been hugeimprovements in the mats and

glass etc that is available andthis means conservation levelsare much higher.’’

If you have a special interestsuch as vehicles or animals, acatalogue of prints is availablefor viewing.

These can then be customframed to create a special itemfor your home or office.

Strikes dash upset hopesTe Awamutu came away with

no tangible reward for battlinglong and hard to restrict Wai-kato Bay of Plenty Federation 2soccer leaders Tauranga City to2-0.

Coach Billy Carter was hope-ful of an upset and three-quarters of the way through thematch it looked like a 0-0 drawwas on the cards — until adouble strike by Tauranga’sDion Bartosh, in a two-minuteperiod, effectively killed off thecontest.

Goalie Kevin Buckle wasagain inspirational for Te Awa-mutu, and along with hardtoiling midfielders Jim Watsonand Adam Blake and a steady

defensive line, the team frus-trated their hosts for much of thematch.

Ben Petersen had his firstmatch in the starting line-up thisyear and played a solid game atright midfield.

The Te Awamutu men’sreserve team dug deep to win 2-1away to Thames in the WaikatoKnockout Cup.

The side played most of thematch with 10 players following aserious injury to ShaunLiddington, in the seventh min-ute, and only having the mini-mum numbers of players avail-able.

Goals to Kyle Owens and JimGrainger were enough to see the

team move into the next round ofthe competition. Next week theyare home to Cambridge at theStadium at 2.45pm.

The men’s third team wentdown 8-0 to league leaders Unicol.

Coach Mark Cleaver reportshis players never gave up andkept trying for the full 90minutes.

The women’s team lost 2-0away to Otorohanga in a WaikatoKnockout Cup clash.

Coach Rebecca Watsonreports that her side produced abig effort in the second half withPia Zimmer going close to scor-ing and player of the day AmyIreland, in goal, having a goodgame.

Petch elated withworld-class resultBY COLIN THORSEN

TC310512CT01

WORLD No. 2 Rebecca Petch pictured competingat Te Awamutu’s Castleton Park track.

Te Awamutu’s Rebecca Petch is feeling ‘‘on topof the world’’ after claiming the 14 year girls’ silvermedal at the UCI BMX World Championships inBirmingham.

Petch became World No. 2 (20 inch) with a superbperformance on the first of two days of challengeclass racing for age group riders, indoors at the NIAArena.

Mrs Petch says her daughter is ‘‘over the moon’’.She qualified second in the girls’ 14 years 20 inch

class behind Kelsey Van Ogle (USA), then won hersemi-final before being pipped by the American forthe gold medal in the final.

The New Zealand representative followed upwith a meritorious fifth placing in the girls’ 16 andunder cruiser class, also won by Van Ogle.

Petch now has three world championshipmedals, having previously claimed the 11 year girls’silver (20 inch) and bronze (cruiser) in 2009 atAdelaide.

It proved a great day for young riders from TeAwamutu, with Ryan Martin winning the 10 yearboys’ bronze medal.

Martin was third highest qualifier racing in the20 inch. He was second in the semi-final andgrabbed the bronze in the final behind JulianDittrick (USA) and Dayan Dubois (SUI).

Codi Merito rode outstandingly throughout thecompetition to make it all the way through to the 15year boys’ 20 inch grand final. He came away with aworld ranking of eight after holding fourth place atone stage.

Joshua Smith also returns home with a worldranking of eight after making the grand final in theboys’ 13-14 cruiser.

All six Te Awamutu riders made it out of themotos which is a feat in itself. This year’s worldchampionships were reportedly the toughest onrecord with all the American and European teamsat full strength.

Cody Hobbs produced a quality time trial toqualify 29th out of 90 in the junior elite field. The 64qualifiers were separated by only 1.5 seconds.

Cameron Petch was eliminated in the 16 yearboys’ 20 inch eights. He also made the eights incruiser class.

New Zealand ended up with six medals, all in the

challenge classes.The magnificent feats of the Te Awamutu

contingent significantly helped the BikeNZ teamfinish second in the national teams challenge classbehind the USA.

It was a particularly important event for theKiwi team, with New Zealand hosting next year’sWorld BMX Championships at Vector Arena inAuckland in July.

■ FOOTNOTE: The Te Awamutu riders andsupporters returned home yesterday after thisedition had gone to press.

Farming thewild weather

TC310512SP11

WILD weather creates challenges for farmers.

Beef + Lamb New Zealand(B+LNZ) is running a series of ‘Farm-ing the Wild Weather’ workshopsthroughout the country.

The first was held in Taumarunuiearlier this week and attracted about20 farmers.

Another three workshops arescheduled for the Waikato and Bay ofPlenty, the closest being at Otoro-hanga on Tuesday, June 12.

There are also workshops atWaikaretu on June 20 and Rotorua onJune 28.

B+LNZ Farmer Council memberRoss Richards attended the Tau-marunui workshop and wasimpressed by the practical nature ofthe advice.

‘‘We’ve all been caught out by theweather at some point in our farmingcareers.

‘‘Every time, you swear you’ll bebetter prepared for the next one. Iwish I’d got to a workshop like thisyears ago.’’

Mr Richards says he will be takinga couple of key steps now, in readi-ness for the next weather event.

‘‘We have a relatively low rainfalland pumice soils, so dry spells can bea real problem — especially in theautumn, as we also get cold winters,plenty of severe frosts and theoccasional snowfall thrown in. Ourplace has a lot of south-facing shady

country, so that doesn’t help. In thewake of this workshop, I’m going touse my feed budgeting software tolook at some different scenarios forhow I might react to lost feed, basedon different times of the year anddifferent stock classes.’’

NIWA climate specialist AndrewTait talks about the country’s climatehistory and future, as well as thevariability that comes with NewZealand’s El Nino and La Ninaweather patterns.

Farmers will be especially inter-ested to hear his predictions aroundlong-term climate forecasts for theirlocal regions.

Farm management specialistsRural Business Solutions takefarmers through how they can buildresilient farm systems to handleclimate variability.

B+LNZ Extension Manager Ericavan Reenen says the workshops aredesigned for farmers to assess therisks of climate variability, thepotential impact on their farm sys-tems and plan strategies to copewhen wild weather does strike.

■ The two-hour workshops start at 4pmand conclude with a guest speaker andfree dinner. For catering purposes,please contact Erica van Reenen [email protected] or 07839 0286.

LONG SERVICE: Peter Morgan (right) is congratu-lated on four decades of service by WaipaNetworks CEO Ray Milner.

Peter Morgan, field service supervisor withlocal power line company Waipa Networks, hasachieved the huge milestone of 40 years’ service.

Mr Morgan was recognised at a recent meetingwith his work colleagues where he was presentedwith a gift from the company.

He has been an essential part of the company formany years and for the past 20 years has beenresponsible, during and after storms or othermajor faults, for restoring power as quickly aspossible.

Mr Morgan is well known to many customersand knows the network like the back of his hand.This detailed knowledge is invaluable at suchtimes.

He began work with the Te Awamutu ElectricPower Board in May 1972 as a trainee lineman.

For his first few years he worked with the lineconstruction teams. Mr Morgan moved to thefaults department in 1975 and was promoted tofaults and workshop foreman in 1976 — a job whichhe excelled in.

In 1993 the Te Awamutu and CambridgeElectric Power Boards merged to become what isnow Waipa Networks and Mr Morgan becamefaults supervisor for the whole area. He is nowfield service supervisor.

The job titles may have changed over the yearsbut the commitment to providing excellent serviceto customers remains the same. If there is aproblem with the power supply to your property itwill be Mr Morgan’s team that fixes it.

‘‘The company really appreciates Peter’s com-mitment to his job and our customers,’’ said WaipaNetworks CEO Ray Milner.

‘‘Forty years’ service is outstanding and Petercontinues to be a real asset to the company and tothe local community.’’


Having your say animportant option

Over 500 submitters, mostly rate-payers took the opportunity to havetheir say during the LTPsubmissions.

They covered a range of topics overa number of council’s activities, thereis nothing like ‘direct democracy’ — Iencourage everybody to submit. Ipersonally didn’t agree with every-thing in the plan that has gone out toconsultation by any means, clearlythe council is overspending.

It’s overspending and that’s theend of the argument.

Sadly a number of councillors andcouncil staff are to ready to dismissratepayers claims, there is evidenceto suggest that there is a level ofarrogance — ‘we know best’.

There will always be those withinour community with burning issuesand it’s only appropriate that theyhave accessibility to council to be ableto forward those issues.

Generally submissions were of ahigh standard with presenters clearlystating what they were for or againstwith the council’s proposals. Thesesubmitters showed a real interest inthe future of our region. Well done.

For those interested, we look for-ward to meeting you at our nextWaipa District Citizens and Rate-payers Association on Tuesday, June5 the Te Awamutu RSA at 7pm.

PAT BISHOPChairman, Waipa District Citizens

and Ratepayers Association

‘Rubbish’ talk aboutpatients concerning

In response to JamesParlane, while I agree that theincreased cost in prescriptionsis long overdue, I take insult tosome of the rubbish he suggestsconcerning patients.

Yes doctors get coughed andspluttered over, that comes aspart of the profession theychose.

Most doctors make sure thatthey are immunised against the‘nasties’ out there and take allprecaution to keep the utmosthygiene to keep away from coldsand flus.

Why attack the sick?Selfish sick people . . . ? Atti-

tude and lifestyle . . . ?Try telling that to patients

who sit in the waiting room withcancer, diabetes, glaucoma, foodpoisoning from restaurants, orbetter still . . . a farmer who hasbeen saving stock in the freez-ing cold and become ill, or haschemical poisoning, eventhough they have taken all theprecautions possible.

Or work related injuriesbecause employers will not fol-low OSH regulations. I’m notsure what waiting room MrParlane is pertaining to.

I suffer an illness whichunfortunately for me involves a

lifetime of drugs, through nofault of my own.

I work hard and exerciseregularly like ‘most’ Te Awa-mutu Courier readers.

And yes, I sit in a waitingroom. And yes, I will pay for myscript. Get a life!

I am lucky if I ever meet thesame person twice in mydoctor’s waiting room.

If I am not mistaken Theissue is again ‘the cost of living’— not an attack on the unfortu-nate.

Be careful whom you includein your gripe.

String of Chiefs’ recordsThe Chiefs beat the Bulls 28-22 in an epic

battle at Waikato Stadium on Friday night to regain their position on top of the Investec Super Rugby table.

The win, in front of a home crowd of 18,482, was a fi tting tribute to co-captain Liam Messam, who became the highest capped Chiefs player of all time playing his 90th match for the franchise.

In addition to Messam’s milestone, Aaron Cruden became the highest scoring Chief in a season when he collected his 165th point, surpassing Stephen Donald’s record of 164 points.

The Chiefs recorded their 10th win in a season which equals their record set in 2009.

Prop Ben Afeaki made a welcome return to the starting line-up after being sidelined for 13 weeks with a broken arm, suffered in round one. He produced an impressive performance against a very physical Bulls side.

“I am a bit sore but it was great to get a full game in. It has been a long time coming,” said Afeaki.

Hamilton Boys High School beat Manurewa High School 32-3 at Waikato Stadium to claim the Chiefs Cup in the curtain raiser to the Chiefs v Bulls match.

In Our Panels’ Picks, Stu Tervit of

Rosetown Holden has regained the

outright lead after recording six winners

out of seven in round 14 of the Super

XV competition. His only hiccup was the

one point win by the Cheetahs over the

Waratahs.

Team Timmos, Lance Fielder of Gyde

Wansbone Chartered Accountants, Ken

Hagan of LJ Hooker Real Estate and Robin

McGregor of Power Chill all managed fi ve

winners to stay near the top of the fi eld.

Co-leader after round 13, Andrea Miller

of PGG Wrightson Rural Supplies dropped

to sixth after managing only three winners

this week.

Magic poised to strike after bye

MARK McKEOWN/MUSAE STUDIOS PHOTO

FORMER Te Awamutu Col-lege Senior A netballer EliasShadrock coming of ageplaying for Magic in ANZChampionship.

BY COLIN THORSEN AND JANEHUNT

Shadrock maturing in leaps and bounds

Waikato/Bay of PlentyMagic are handily placed tomake a late surge towardsthe ANZ Championshipnetball play-offs following abye in last weekend’s round.

Encouraged by balancingtheir ledger after a falteringfour straight losses to starttheir season, Magic willemerge from the bye confi-dent of their finals seriesprospects.

Captain Laura Langmansays it is great that Magic aregaining some momentum inthe competition.

‘‘The pressure is still onus though. We need to per-form well throughout theremainder of the roundrobin,’’ she told the Courier.

‘‘On a personal note, I ampleased with the progress I

have made within my attack-ing game, however mydefensive game is a key workon for me as I would like tohelp contribute to more gainsfor our unit.’’

Langman has beenimpressed by the rapid pro-gress shown in former TeAwamutu College Senior A’sElias Shadrock’s game thisANZ Cup campaign.

‘‘Ali has improved inleaps in bounds this year.Her match fitness is superband her contribution to ourteam unit has been of a veryhigh standard.

‘ ‘I am thoroughlyenjoying playing alongsideher and hopefully our gamewill continue to get strongerand stronger as the gamesprogress.’’

Shadrock is certainlymaking the most of a secondopportunity in the Waikato/

Bay of Plenty Magic team inthe ANZ Championship.

The former Te AwamutuCollege Senior A, New Zea-land Secondary Schools cap-tain and New Zealand under-21 team member was part ofthe Magic set-up in 2009-10but overlooked last year.

A player of huge potential,Shadrock has no doubts sheis wiser for the experience ofrecent years and excited byher recall.

‘‘To get back in this teamafter missing out last yearmeans the world to me andagain the feeling is amaz-ing,’’ she says.

Straight out of schoolwhen she was first selected,Shadrock says more courttime at club and regionallevel and coaching assist-ance has helped grow hergame and confidence.

‘‘I think the one thing

different from the first time Imade the team to now is, notonly do I want to be in thisteam but I want to be oncourt for this team and knowI can be playing at this elitelevel.

‘‘I guess the positive ofbeing dropped is you lookback on things you did in theteam and things you couldhave done better. You learnfrom it, so what I am going todo differently is learn frommy experiences and learnfrom my mistakes.’’

Magic coach NoelineTaurua is satisfied with theteam’s current spot of fifth onthe table.

‘‘Where we’ve come fromthose first four rounds to thelast four rounds is a hugeprogression. We’re startingto get some really consistentperformances now.’’

Taurua can only see more

upward momentum from herteam, the immediate focusbefore the next match (June 4v Southern Steel) being onhoning the basics.

JESSE FELTON with the muchsought after Ngahinapouri Cup.

The premier match play competi-tion of the year at NgahinapouriGolf Club confirmed the value of itsjunior programme.

Up-and-coming junior golferJ e s s e F e l t o n t o o k o u t t h eNgahinapouri Cup with victoryover junior convener coach andmentor Dennis Kurth.

The final generated huge interestwith student up against coach.

The event, restricted to 32qualifiers, was played over fourweeks of handicap match play.

Although Kurth had to giveFelton 32 shots on handicap, he wasvery generous in praising his youngprodigy for remaining calm and inc o n t r o l u n d e r p r e s s u r e —confirming that the game of golf is agreat leveller, enabling members ofall handicaps to compete against

one another.Felton was one of a number of

junior golfers to acquit themselvesadmirably against more experi-enced opponents.

The ‘‘Cann Cup’’ played in con-junction with the NgahinapouriCup for those eliminated in the firstround was won by Brian Marcroftover club captain Ray Foster.

The ‘‘Special Trophy’’ was takenout by Greg Inglis over last year’scup winner Greg Cowley.

IDALMAR, ridden by Lisa Allpress, notches the first of two wins for Graemeand Mark Sanders’ stable at Waipa last Wednesday.

Last week’s impress-ive Te Awamutu win-ner Idalmar will bechasing more spoils atthe Wanganui meetingthis Saturday.

Co-trainer, MarkSanders says Idalmarhad come through hiswin at the WaipaRacing Club meetinglast Wednesday in tip-top order. There was nohesitation in lining the4-year-old up again.

‘‘He is such a goodlooking horse and hasnot looked back sincethe win.

‘‘He will once againstart over 2000m atWanganui and shouldprove hard to beat.’’

Sanders believedIdalmar is not a genu-ine wet-tracker so isunlikely to continueracing once the tracksget worse.

Idalmar will againbe ridden on Saturdayby Lisa Allpress. He isowned by Ron Saunderswho formerly raced theoutstanding 2-year-old,Lady Dehere.

The other Graemeand Mark Sanders-trained winner at thelocal meeting lastWednesday was the3-year-old filly, LunarEclipse.

The Darci Brahmafilly won easily with

something in reserveand produced what wasthe best winning per-formance of the day.

‘‘We like her a lotbut have had to bepatient with her as shehas had a few issuesalong the way,’’ saysSanders.

‘‘At one point GaiWaterhouse (leadingSydney trainer) tried tobuy her but the saledidn’t go throughwhich is why she isstill here.

‘ ‘There are notmany horses who fin-ish a race off like herover that distance at TeAwamutu. She has gotgears and her perform-ance last week wasquite special.’’

Lunar Eclipse isowned by the Hawkinsfamily who operateWentwood Grange nearCambridge. She willrace next in a 3-year-old 1400m event at Tau-ranga on June 23.

The Sanders stable

will also be repre-sented at the Wanganuimeeting by debut2-year-old, Shaky.

At the Aucklandmeeting last-start win-ner Te Toro Lass willbe lining up along withthe unlucky runnerlast time, Bouvier.

Hodson intop formfor Marist

Three try hero Mark Hodson sparked TeAwamutu Marist to a 39-19 come from behindvictory over Te Akau in Waikato seconddivision rugby.

Carl Henderson reports that Murray GanePlumbing/Henrys Te Awamutu Marist had tocall on all their resources to subdue a fired up TeAkau.

The high flyers struggled to get their setpiece going — usually a strong part of theirgame.

Te Akau scored the first two tries of the matchfrom well-constructed rolling mauls to lead 12-0.

Marist hit back with Hodson scoring the firstof his three tries from broken play, showing whata weapon pure speed is. He was again thebenefactor seven minutes later when he receiveda nice offload from winger Thomas Mahutonga.

Marist led 12-10 at halftime.Coach Tony Kahura voiced his displeasure at

the below par performance and his team settledinto their work a lot better after the break.

Ben Gisler slotted two long range penalties,followed by new recruit Justin Chapman run-ning a great line off a midfield scrum to scorebetween the posts.

Hodson then dotted down for his third fivepointer.

Te Akau replied with their third try, only tosee Scott Sands score the final try of the day onthe end of a penetrating run from winger MattMahutonga.

The Burger King player of the day went toflanker Puhoi Heta, who also picked up theRedoubt Bar and Eatery tackler of the dayaward.

Henderson says Marist will be looking to playa lot better in the local derby against Kihikihithis Saturday.

Club stalwart Bryce McCandlish plays hisblazer game under the new regime.

The curtainraiser will feature Marist B upagainst Hinuera at 1pm.

Marist have a big night planned with a liveband starting at 7pm.

Chiefs star inspires juniors

TC310512SP21

CHIEFS’ wing Lelia Masaga donned one of the club’s amber and black jerseys for a photo shoot with a group of Kihikihi juniorrugby players.

Chiefs winger Lelia (TheFlash) Masaga proved a big hitwhen visiting the Kihikihi Jun-ior Rugby Club.

Club spokesperson, SelinaHeke says the kids were ecstaticto have such an inspirationalrole model at their trainingnight last week.

Masaga opened the sessionwith a quiz for the childrenabout himself and the Chiefs.

He then spoke briefly about

his own career. He had threekey messages for the kids —listen to your coaches and par-ents, train hard and have fun.There was a signing and photoopportunity, and the kids werefortunate to have the opportun-ity to race against their idol whocan run 100m in 10.64sec.

They were also privileged tosee one of his signature moves(the dougie) that he pulled offwith copious amounts of

encouragement from the size-able crowd in attendance.

One parent was overheardcommenting: ‘‘It all starts atgrassroots rugby. Isn’t it great tosee players who our childrenlook up to taking the time outfrom their busy schedules tocome to the smaller clubs thatrarely have these sort of oppor-tunities.’’

The visit from the flying No.14 was made possible by the

hard work of Shannon Te Huiaand Wayne Pene.

This year Kihikihi RugbyClub has seven teams entered inthe Waikato junior competition,under 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 and 13s.

‘‘We have had a largeamount of interest from par-ents which has been great forthe committee, who over theyears have worked tirelesslyto keep the club going,’’ saysHeke.
