Open day extension of TA’s open heart towards Uganda

By Grant JohnstonColin and Lynn Pinkerton are

opening up their Pirongia Road wonderland of rural memora-bilia and machinery to help raise funds to improve the lives of Ugandan villagers.

Te Awamutu’s now strong Christian connection with Mbarara in Uganda began in 2004 when a team comprising Ross and Carol Turner and Vic and Rosemary Clarke travelled to the region to share their knowledge of dairy farming with the local people through the es-tablishment of a ‘heifer scheme’.

Families in four villages have received heifer cows, with the fi rst heifer calf from each of these going to another family in the village.

This has been so successful that the latest team is plan-ning a fourth visit next month - comprising the Pinkertons, Clem and Patricia Captein, Ross Turner, Phil Sanderson and Nathan Bluett.

This time the scheme is to be extended to a fi fth village and the team will be working with the students at the Rwentanga Farm School overseeing the fenc-ing of, and supply of water to, an area of their farm land. This will effectively create a ‘model farm’ and enable the sharing of more effective methods of managing and utilising available grazing land.

The fundraising open day at the Pinkertons’ property at 73 Pirongia Road on Saturday week (March 3) will raise funds for more heifers and fencing materi-als (those on the trip are paying all their own travel and personal expenses).

Fittingly, the displays have a

resoundingly rural theme.There are two large barns fi lled

with a treasure trove of tractors and all manner of farm machin-ery, implements and items that were part and parcel of rural life in a bygone era - including crank handle telephones and radios the size of small televisions.

Mr Pinkerton says he began collecting farm machinery more or less ‘by accident’.

Having farmed in the Pat-erangi area for over 30 years, Mr Pinkerton had accumulated machinery himself (including a Dodge truck and T-bird). After selling their dairy farm three years ago, he built a huge Ameri-can style barn to accommodate his collection.

He does a beautiful job of restoration and people began giving him items to add to the collection (some on loan) - neces-sitating the building of another large shed.

The open day on Saturday week will feature a number of static displays staged by mem-bers of Waikato Vintage Tractor and Machinery Club.

The Pirongia Road property’s impressive wetland area and gardens will also be open for viewing.

The open day runs from 10am-3pm. Tickets are available from Colin and Lynn Pinkerton (phone 871 3554) or [email protected]

The $10 admission charge includes Devonshire tea. Gate sales will be available but for ca-tering purposes pre-purchase of tickets would be appreciated.

Donations to the Ugandan project can be made at Te Awamutu BNZ.

COLIN PINKERTON feeds corn cobs into a corn stripper. The beautiful restoration job done on this machine shows the quality Mr Pinkerton has been able to achieve in representing items from the past in ‘as new’ condition. 053071AD

Kerbside recycling service to hit streets soonWaipa District Council has been ‘on its

bike’ reminding residents of the recycling service soon to be hitting urban streets.

This weekend, two scooters towing bill-boards will be repeating last weekend’s ex-ercise, circulating through Te Awamutu and Cambridge with a simple message - ‘Blue Bin 4 You, 5 March’.

Group manager policy and strategy, Ross McNeil says with residents keen for the serv-ice to start, his job is to keep the anticipation high so they will absorb the information on how to use the service.

“Since we’re introducing a new service to the Waipa, it seemed fi tting to introduce a new promotional tool at the same time. The scooters are highly visible and will raise awareness that the recycling service is com-ing soon.

“For everyone’s benefi t it’s important the service runs smoothly from day one. Resi-dents have a key role in this by making sure the follow the simple instructions on how to recycle, and when to get their Blue Bin on the kerbside,” Mr McNeil says.

“All urban residents will receive their Blue

Bin during the week beginning February 26. This will be one week prior to their fi rst col-lection, which will be on the same day as their rubbish collection. An information brochure will be inside the Blue Bin, and residents will need to read this in order to use the service properly,” Mr McNeil says.

He says the information contained in the brochure is also available on the Council web-site www.waipadc.govt.nz

The service will be available in Te Awamutu, Cambridge, Ngahinapouri, Ohaupo, Pirongia, Rukuhia, Karapiro and Kihikihi.

YOUR LETTERS

I would like to thank the man who came to my aid on Thursday, February 15.

I had been stopped by a police offi cer in a case of mistaken identity.

While I was driving along Ohaupo Road, a car similar to mine was driving dangerously, weaving in and out of traf-fi c at high speed with a traffi c offi cer about 200 metres behind.

I turned off into Mutu Street and the offi cer followed me.

Realising she had mistaken my car for the other car, I jumped out and tried to tell the police offi cer that she had the wrong car.

She didn’t believe me and asked me to drive further up and park in a safer spot. I did this but was feeling quite panicky as I didn’t have clue what I was about to be accused of, but knew it wouldn’t be good.

I was very relieved when, after I jumped out of the car after parking opposite the War Memorial, a member of the public pulled up to support me - after he had been forced off the road by the other driver but observed the offi cer pulling me over instead.

Finally I was believed and the offi cer left - although without an apology to myself or a thank you to the man who

had helped.So I would like to publicly thank the

man who stopped to help and also to the other two drivers who pulled over to act as witnesses on my behalf, but who were not needed as they saw the police offi cer leave.

Also thank you to those who phoned in with the licence plate number of the offender, who has now been charged after eluding police.

I am grateful there are people out there willing to give their time to see justice done.

Appreciated fellow motorist

Leakage comes from not being looked after

Leakage. No, it’s not a condition of the bladder, thankfully.

It’s what the ‘suits’ refer to when, we the victims of ‘shopping habits’ surveys decide that some of us, who have been seriously ne-glected in the past, decide to drive to Hamilton to do our grocery shopping.

And, by the same token, other shopping as well. I am one of those who is responsible for this affl iction - knowingly leaking at least twice a month. I can save enough to justify the extra petrol costs involved.

I look forward to the new shop-ping facility (in Cambridge road). Most people I have spoken to are of similar enthusiasm. But, if the new Pak-n-Save supermar-ket does not pass muster, I will continue to leak to Hamilton fortnightly. Do not take us for granted again.

TERRY BROADBRIDGE

It was interesting to read in the Cou-rier a reference to the Waipa Brewery which operated on a site now occupied by the Fonterra Dairy Factory.

Part of the brewery building was shifted to what was known as Hustons’ farm, in Wharepapa South on the road to Aotearoa on the right hand side trav-elling south.

It is long gone, but I remember seeing it there.

The other part is the big red shed on my farm at Parawera.

When my father, who was in the gro-cery business at Kihikihi, bought the property in 1927, the shed was used as a transport depot by a local carrying fi rm.

Article brought memories fl owing back

In light of rising rates of sexually transmitted infections (STIs), young people in Waikato are being encouraged to take their sexual health seriously and have a check up after the holiday period.

STI rates are continuing to increase and Waikato is no exception. Two hun-dred and sixty nine cases of chlamydia were diagnosed at the Waikato clinic over the 2005/2006 year.

People can be less likely to see a medical professional about their sexual health, than they would be about a migraine or the fl u. But it’s just as im-portant. Left untreated, STIs can lead to serious problems and infertility.

The Government subsidises sexual and reproductive health services, so a visit to a Family Planning clinic is free or very low cost to many people.

All people under 22 can come and see us for free. There is a charge of $5 for Community Service Card holders 22 and over. If you’re between 22 and 24, or over 45 and not a Community Service Card holder, there’s a $20 charge.

To contact the Hamilton clinic phone 839 4061. Further information about Family Planning clinics and costs are available on www.fpanz.org.nz.

EXCLUSIVE

Providing path to employment

The aim of the Gateway Programme is to provide a meaningful pathway for secondary students from school to workplace training by placing students with employers and providing learning outcomes and qualifi cation opportuni-ties.

Students have a fairly rigorous set of criteria to follow and are expected to earn credits to-wards possible career training. The Government funds the programme and provides resources through its Qualifi cations Framework and the tertiary Education Commission.

It is up to schools to build on existing partner-ships to develop and maintain new relationships with employers and Industry Training Organi-sations. Te Awamutu College is building on a number of programmes which have successfully placed students with local employers, including the success of the fi rst year of Gateway.

The programme is designed to allow students to participate in almost any fi eld.

A contract is negotiated which includes a work programme of about 80 hours over 10 weeks, as-sessment tasks relevant to the position, estab-lished assessment criteria and expectations of the student and employer.

Gateway has established responsibilities for employers relevant to the programme, which overcome some of the normal workplace require-ments which could prohibit participation.

Students are not paid for their participation in the workplace, so it is also an economical oppor-tunity for employers to recruit school leavers.

How does it work?● A Gateway Placement Agreement is signed

between the school, employer and student.● A Learning Plan is formulated which shows

the Units/Achievement Standards that can be earned.

● Parents, students, the school and employers are all informed of the agreement and plan so everyone knows what is expected.

● The school has funding to assist employers not qualifi ed or experienced to undertake as-sessment.

● In a situation where the Gateway place-ment is not effective for whatever reason, the placement can be amended or the student with-drawn.

This year all New Zealand schools will be participating in Gateway and the Te Awamutu College staff look forward to the continued good rapport and support with its business community and to local business-people supporting the town’s high school..

INFORMATION EVENING

Following on from the success of the 2006 information evening to launch Gateway, the careers department is repeating the event for 2007.

The Wine and Cheese Evening on Wednesday, February 28 will run from 5.30 to 6.30pm in the staffroom.

Invitations have been extended to a number of businesses, but Mrs Ramsay says any employers want-ing more information or wanting to be part of Gateway are welcome to attend.

People are also wel-come to contact the department on 871 4199 ext. 850 for more information or to regis-ter their attendance.

Mrs Dickson is also grateful to colleagues at Te Awamutu Col-lege for backing the programme.

She says it has tre-mendous support from teaching staff and senior management and is a proven tool for improving the skills of New Zealand workers.

She says students have a chance to get meaningful work ex-perience before mak-ing career choices and employers get to gauge the calibre of prospec-tive staff.

By Dean TaylorYoung people are leaving school with defi nite

career prospects thanks to the success of the Gateway Programme run by Te Awamutu Col-lege for the fi rst time last year.

College careers advisor Christine Dickson and Gateway co-ordinator Justine Ramsay say the outcome from the fi rst year of the pro-gramme was outstanding.

Gateway placed 43 students with businesses in the community, and out of that nine young school leavers have apprenticeships in 2007.

Mrs Ramsay says the community was amaz-ingly supportive of the programme, with more businesses volunteering to be part of the pro-gramme than they had students to place.

But she says it is important to have a good base of support because you can never be sure what students will be looking for.

Thea Meredith is rapt to have been offered a hairdressing apprenticeship by Aloft owner Cherie Carran.

It is the fi rst time Mrs Carran has taken on an apprentice and she is looking forward to the experience.

She attended last year’s Informa-tion Evening and was impressed by the Gateway Programme. Mrs Carran says a few students came through, Thea was the pick and she was happy to offer the apprenticeship.

Thea will train on-site, with Patrick’s Hairdressing School and attend extra training offered by L’Oreal.

She is thankful Gateway gave her the chance to get some fi rst-hand experience and the chance to show an employer she was worthy of a position.

Jason Donnelly wanted to work with stainless steel, so thorough Gate-way and contacts his farming father Mike had with PM Stainless, he was able to give it a try.

Boss Zakk Pratt says Jason was able to prove he had potential, so he offered the school leaver an apprenticeship.

Mr Pratt says the company hasn’t had an apprentice before, but believes it is a good move to ensure qualifi ed people within the industry.

Jason says it was great to see what a real workplace was like, and to be able to train in his hometown.

Mr Pratt says with the bulk of their work being dairy industry related, Jason has a good knowledge base, but the popularity of stainless steel pro-vides plenty of career opportunities.

Chamber says new truck survey highlights urgency

STILL TRUCKIN’: Te Awamutu Chamber of Commerce president, Chris Smith (right) and executive offi cer Michael Cox during the 2005 truck survey in Alexandra Street. File photo.

Te Awamutu Chamber of Com-merce says the results of its latest survey of trucks using the main street highlight the need for urgent action by Council.

“In the last 18 months the volume of trucks, puffi ng, belching and snort-ing their way down our main shop-ping street has increased by 32%,” says Chamber president Chris Smith in a press statement.

This fi gure is a result of surveys of the numbers of trucks taken by the Chamber of Commerce, on September 6, 2005 and February 14 this year.

“This increase comes as of no sur-prise. We have been telling the Waipa District Council about this upwards trend for the last four years. As yet we haven’t seen any positive action to alleviate the problem,” Mr Smith says.

“They have called in expensive consultants who have confi rmed our concerns and numbers and they have debated it in Council - what they haven’t done is stop the mad use of this town’s main thoroughfare.

“Now another concern has raised its ugly head. We have confi dentially been told that the increased usage is causing damage to foundations to the buildings facing Alexandra Street.

“Obviously no-one is going to pub-licly offer this information, so we challenge the Council to let its rate-payers know whether there is any cause or substance for this concern.

“Get the engineers to have a look at some of these older buildings to see what is happening to the foundations. See what damage the 44-tonners are causing. This would be money better spent than on consultants. No more ducking the issue; we believe this could be a public safety concern and look to our Council to ‘put it right’.”

Editor’s note: Council deputy general manager, Garry Dyet says the Chamber has not shared any additional information with Council since the issue was last debated in 2006. “At that time it was resolved that the alterna-tives which had been identifi ed to remove heavy traffi c from Alexandra Street were more det-rimental to the areas surround-ing the CBD than the status quo. Council has set aside money in its Long Term Plan for upgrades to the CBD and to (possibly) encourage heavy traffi c to use Racecourse Road as an interim step until the western arterial route can be constructed.”

Gerald Durrels’ book ‘My Family and Other Animals’ came to mind recently, as my English siblings visited us in Te Awamutu. There were many “do you remember when ….?” sessions. One event that raised its head, af-ter fi fty years, was ‘The Great Fire at Chawley brick works’.

As kids we used to have much greater freedoms than those of a similar age today, and we roamed afar. Chawley brick works was one of these ven-ues. It had been out of commission for some 80 years, but the old chimneys to the kilns still towered above us.

One day we discovered that a hole had opened up in the side of one of these huge fl ues.

Being totally without fear and with a sense of misguided history, we fi lled the recess below the chimney with anything that would burn; timber, roof felting and general rubbish.

With a gallon of paraffi n, purloined by one of our number from his Father’s farm, we set ablaze such a fi re as had not been seen for eighty years, and probably never again since.

When the roaring infernos’ demand for oxygen reach a stage where the bushes around the open-ing were physically being sucked into the black space, and huge billows of pitch black smoke be-gan pouring out of the top of this huge chimney, we decided to take for the hills.

The smoke continued unabated for days much to the wonder and awe of the local Cumnor villag-ers, some of whom maintained it was a message from some long forgotten deity.

A visit to our father from the local sergeant of police, with his sons being suspects, resulted in a severe berating and loss of privileges.

I got my own back on the said sergeant when a couple of years later I had a ‘deep and mean-ingful’ relationship with his daughter! Ah, the memories.

PS: My little sister claims she was also there, but despite a long and illustrious career in Local Body strategic planning, claims to this day ‘her total innocence!’ Yeah Right!

Airport rezoning bid progressing

This week Hamilton International Airport kicked off the fi rst stage of the process to seek re-zoning of land to establish an integrated business park on airport land.

There was an information day on Monday for residents, airport users and other members of the public at the Airport Motor Inn.

Airport staff and specialist consultants were on hand to discuss the plan and to answer ques-tions.

With a mix of industrial, commercial and service activities, the development, known as Titanium Park, is planned for 80 hectares of land within State Highway 3, State Highway 21 and Raynes Road. It is essentially the same project as outlined publicly by the airport company almost two years ago.

However, the project has been developed to a higher level of detail, including a preliminary ‘master plan’ to guide development.

Waikato Regional Airport Limited chief execu-tive, Chris Doak, says the land is not required for airport operations.

The land is to be rezoned through an applica-tion to change the Waipa District Plan.

Mr Doak said any member of the public who was unable to attend the information day could still obtain an information pack from the airport by contacting John Oliver on (07) 838 0144.

The Red Cross An-nual Appeal will be held from February 26 to March 4.

Sharing sporting success

TE AWAMUTU rower Graham Oberlin-Brown with Halberg supreme award winner Mahe Drysdale (left) and All Black Richie McCaw who picked up the award on behalf of the Team of the Year.

By Cathy AsplinTe Awamutu rower Graham

Oberlin-Brown may not have won the Westpac Emerging Talent section of the Halberg Awards, but it didn’t stop him from celebrating with the coun-try’s top sportspeople.

Speaking from Twizel, where he is attending the national championships this week, Gra-ham (19) said attending the awards evening at Sky City was an amazing experience.

“I was pretty excited to be there really - I’d seen the event on TV before and was really looking forward to being part of it.

“All the fi nalists gathered in the green room fi rst - so it was awesome to look around and see

New Zealand’s best sportspeople - Silver Ferns, All Blacks, ath-letes, swimmers etc.

“I had a chat with Richie Mc-Caw, which was pretty amazing. He knew some rowers and he asked me about my goals. ”

The fi nalists were then intro-duced on stage to waiting guests before taking their seats.

Graham was seated along-side the other Emerging Talent fi nalists (including winner Re-becca Spence), as well as coach Graham Henry and Academy of Sports representatives.

“I felt honoured to be there really - there is a huge legacy involved with these awards, so it was pretty cool.”

He was also able to congratu-late the world’s fastest single sculler, Mahe Drysdale, who was

named Sportsman of the Year.Drysdale’s stunning world

title defence at Eton in 2006 helped him secure the overall title from the All Blacks (Team of the Year) and Sportswoman of the Year, Valerie Vili.

It was fi tting he was presented with the Halberg Award by another world class rower, and three time Halberg Award win-ner, Rob Waddell.

National rowing titles will be decided in Twizel this weekend.

Graham is racing a light-weight single, lightweight dou-ble and premier double.

While he has been getting some ‘stick’ from fellow rowers about his television appearance, he has appreciated the support received from Te Awamutu and the wider rowing community.


Mayor gets taste of petrolhead heaven

By Dean TaylorIf Waipa mayor Alan

Livingston wasn’t a petrolhead already, he was after a recent meeting with representatives of the Te Awamutu Rod and Cus-tom Club.

Despite being in his ‘working clothes’, Ray Thomson’s 1956 Chevrolet had the mayor on his stomach for a glimpse under the award winning hot rod.

Deputy mayor Peter Lee turned up to the meeting in his 1966 Ford Mustang, confi rming his support for the forthcoming 2007 PPG/Classic Cover/Vero Street Rod Nationals being host-ed in Te Awamutu and district by the local club.

Mr Lee is a confi rmed ‘true blue’ Ford fan who brought two Mustangs home from a trip to the USA in 1996.

One was sold, but he has another two Mustang projects underway.

Mr Thomson and his wife Glyn-nette are proud owners of one of New Zealand’s best Chevrolets.

They brought their ‘56 in from Australia, where it was an award winner, and immediately picked up Best ‘56 and Best Engine Bay at the 55, 56, 57 Chevrolet Show held at Masterton.

The car features 350ci V8, four speed top loader, 17” Boyd Cod-dington wheels and four wheel disc brakes.

The original Australian owner is planning to attend the street rod nationals and drive his old car.

Te Awamutu Rod and Custom Club president Craig O’Hanlon says the Chevrolet is a good in-dication of the standard of street

rods that will be in the district over Easter.

Best chance for locals to get up and close to the amazing ma-chines will be Easter Monday’s Show and Shine based from the Te Awamutu Events Centre.

He says the Street Rod Nation-als is one of the premier events on the New Zealand rodding calendar and the Te Awamutu Rod and Custom Club is proud to have won hosting rights in its 30th anniversary year.

The New Zealand Hot Rod As-sociation said members of this club have a great reputation for well organised events and the national run being held Easter Weekend (April 6-9) promises to be excellent with a range of high quality hotrods and street ma-chines attending with their own-ers from around New Zealand.

Te Kowhai accountant Re-gan Brown has taken over the chartered accountancy fi rm, Initiom.

Mr Brown formerly worked with KPMG for 13 years and be-came a specialist tax consultant during that time.

His interest in operating his own practise saw him investi-gate businesses for sale and he was impressed with the oppor-tunities ‘Initiom’ provided.

Based on Alexandra Street, the practise has another ac-countant (Sue-Ellen McGuffi e) three accounting clerks (Niki Reynolds, Sarah-Jane Lind, Christina Pearson) and an of-fi ce administrator (Tracy Gar-diner).

The business has a special home - a former school house with heritage status that was

extensively revamped by its owner, and former Initiom prin-cipal, Vicki Gower.

The name ‘Initiom’ was de-rived from a combination of latin terms (Intio: at the start, Com: together with) to indicate Initiom is the fi rst port of call for business decisions and staff work in partnership with clients to achieve their business goals.

Mr Brown says Initiom pro-vides a full range of account-ancy services from investing to family trusts.

“Obviously taxation is my spe-cialist area, so I use that knowl-edge to benefi t my clients.

“For those areas where a lit-tle more research is required, I have a large range of resources I can draw upon.”

Initiom prides itself on being a friendly, accessible accounting

specialist.“We want to provide sound fi -

nancial planning and reporting to meet our clients needs, now and into the future.

“Our commitment to excel-lence is evident in the hard-working nature of the staff, and the level of service we offer.”

Mr Brown is enjoying the short trip to Te Awamutu each day from his lifestyle block at Te Kowhai.

With two young children he doesn’t have a lot of spare time, but enjoys diving, tramping and outdoor activities when he does get the opportunity.

For further details about Ini-tiom or appointments with Mr Brown, contact Initiom during offi ce hours (8.30am-5pm), ph 870 5404.

Dog owners Charlene and Mike Lewis believe steps to improve dog control in the district are a good move - but they are not prepared to microchip their dog if they don’t have to.

Unfortunately Waipa District Council has issued a notice saying their dog does need to be chipped - and the Lewis’ disagree.

The couple boughtHoney, their boxer/staffordshire cross, from a local pet shop last year and were told she was born near the end of March, 2006.

Following Waipa District Council’s rules, they registered Honey when she was three months old, on June 29, 2006.

In December the couple received a notice saying Honey had to be microchipped under the new dog bylaw because she was registered after July 1, 2006. The papers said the registration oc-curred on August 8.

When the couple chal-lenged this, the correct registration date was as-certained, but the Lewis’ were told registrations from June placed the dog within the new mi-crochipping period.

Mrs Lewis says she and her husband be-lieved the effective date was after July 1, and in fact when they paid the fee at Council, staff even commented that they had avoided the compul-sory chipping.

In fact information on Council’s own website states - ... from 1 July 2006 all owners of dogs classifi ed by Council as menacing or dangerous, certain impounded dogs,

and dogs being regis-tered for the fi rst time will be required to have their dog micro-chipped.

Mrs Lewis says they haven’t been informed the microchipping re-quest was for any reason other than the date of registration, so haven’t

had it done.But according to the

notice they had two weeks to comply and could face a fi ne of up to $2000.

Mrs Lewis says they are vigilant dog own-ers, and are modifying their property to ensure

Honey isn’t a problem, so the whole saga is unsettling.

The couple say it is not the cost that is an issue, they simply don’t want to chip Honey if they don’t need to and think Council’s rules should be clarifi ed.

Support for 20 Hours FreeOver 90% of early childhood centres surveyed

by Te Tari Puna Ora o Aotearoa/NZ Childcare Association (NZCA) will either offer the govern-ment’s 20 Hours Free service or are still consider-ing the issue.

NZCA, a leading early childhood education organisation, recently surveyed over 470 of its members nationwide who own or manage early childhood centres in both community and private situations. Of those, 162 people responded to the survey.

Fifty percent of the 162 said they would imple-ment the 20 Hours Free policy with the new rates either with no signifi cant changes, or with some changes. Over 40% said they hadn’t yet decided whether to offer the service and only 8% they defi nitely would not offer the free hours - vastly different results to media reports.

Waikato District Health Board and Pa-thology Associates Ltd (Pathlab) have signed the contract for deliv-ery of Waikato Com-munity Laboratory Services from January 2008.

The loss of the con-tract by present provid-er, Medlab, has caused concern among service users and resulted in a well supported peti-tion calling for a DHB rethink.

Health Board chair-man Michael Ludbrook says the contract rep-resents a signifi cant step forward for the Waikato community.

“Funds for health services will always be less than the total need. If we can work with partners to pro-vide high quality, ac-cessible services to the Waikato District in smarter ways to free up funds for other ar-eas, we will jump at the opportunity.

“Pathlab’s proposal offered us just such an opportunity,” Mr Lud-brook says.

“Two things in par-ticular stand out with Pathlab. The fact it is owned by the pa-thologists who run it is clearly demonstrated by their appreciation for high quality tests

backed by full support for GPs and specialists. Those who are already working with Pathlab can attest to the value of their hands-on pa-thologists’ support.

“Pathlab has also shown a commitment to invest in the service for smarter solutions. In doing so, it is ena-bling Waikato DHB to re-invest a further $6 Million a year into health services.

“This is the kind of partner Waikato DHB wants to work with; one that is committed to the District and com-mitted to excellence in health.”

Pathlab Director Dr Stephen May says the organisation is com-mitted to a continued strong presence in Hamilton as its base in the Waikato.

“We have worked in the Waikato and Ham-ilton for 15 years now and this new contract means an increased presence from us. I want to reassure the Waikato people that we are committed to being an active part in your community.

“There is a lot of work to be done over the next few months to achieve that, including a strong recruitment campaign to build our

skilled workforce of technicians, scientists and pathologists, so these are exciting times,” Dr May says.

“One of the key as-pects to continuing our service for Waikato res-idents is an investment in new, state-of-the-art testing equipment based in Hamilton. This will enable us to manage the work loads without duplicating equipment, and will quickly and consistent-ly produce high quality test results.”

Waikato DHB fi rst went to the market in September 2006 seek-ing proposals to deliver Waikato Community Laboratory Services for a period of approxi-mately fi ve years. All proposals were evalu-ated against publicly notifi ed criteria, and by a team of experts which included independent GP and pathologist members.

Of the criteria, cost and effi ciency were weighted less than one fi fth of the total score.

Te Awamutu and Otorohanga are among 20 sites in rural Waikato that will have Pathlab-run sites.

Kawhia and Temple View Medical Centre are among 12 proposed GP/referrer sample col-

lection sites with free Pathlab pick up.

The contract stipu-lates a collection site must be within 2.5km of a General Practice. Where there is a GP, there will be a Pathlab clinic nearby, except where the GP and Pathlab agree that the GP will collect specimens (as with the above 12 sites).

Pathlab will ration-alise the duplication of collection sites (which may have implications for Te Awamutu, listed as a centre where du-plication exists (two collection points in Te Awamutu).

Break off bike just the tonic for Penny

By Colin ThorsenTe Awamutu’s Mark

Penny came through his fi rst motocross in nine months with fl y-ing colours - fi nishing eighth in the 46th an-nual Woodville Grand Prix.

Qualifying fi fth was a feat in itself - only 40 of the 80 entries got to contest the Grand Prix proper, run over three races.

Penny had been out of the 125cc class for fi ve years and was rid-ing a brand new Suzuki RM-Z250.

In race one he came out of the fi rst turn just outside the top 10.

His plan was to set-tle into the race before attempting to make his way through the fi eld.

Penny, however, for-got that in the small bike class there was no rest.

“It was barge and at-tack the whole time, so it was a real learning curve again,” he said.

He was well satisfi ed when the chequered fl ag came out and he

fi nished seventh.An average start

in race two saw him

having to charge hard through the fi eld.

It took time to make his passes stick on the slower riders en route to fi nishing 10th.

“My pace was good once I got past the slower riders. There’s nothing like a hard charge to break you back into the swing of things.”

Penny did not get a great jump off the line in race three either, coming out of the fi rst corner just inside the top 20.

He pushed as hard as he could, ending the fi rst lap in 12th place.

By the last lap he had pulled himself up to seventh.

He recorded his fast-est time of the race on that last lap but came up a bike length short of the sixth placed rider.

Penny tied for sixth place overall with Justin McDonald and Jesse Wiki but had to settle for eighth on the countback system.

“I love being back on

the bike, the Suzuki RM-Z250 is so much fun to ride and is so well set up from stand-ard that I’m still riding it without touching anything.”

Penny says he is in-debted to all his loyal sponsors and support-ers, who have backed him throughout his career.


Hot McDougal round, let down by putter

By Colin ThorsenBryce McDougal was ruing a

string of missed birdie opportuni-ties after shooting 72 in the RSA tournament at Stewart Alexander Golf Club.

The seven handicapper was in scintillating form from tee to green, only to be let down by his normally reliable putting.

“I had 12 birdie opportunities but couldn’t sink a birdie putt to save myself from within two metres.”

Had he not had such a bad day with the putter, his score could have been a whole lot better - even threatening the course record.

McDougal’s only dropped shots on the back nine, after starting off the 10th tee, were a bogey on 11 and double bogey on 12.

He then three putted on both the fi rst and second holes on the front nine before eagling the par fi ve third hole.

Another eagle beckoned on the par fi ve, third hole. He missed the putt but managed a birdie.

McDougal came home in one under par 34 to fi nish the 18 holes two over par.

The fi ve times past Stewart Alexander club champion has a personal best score of 69 both at Stewart Alexander and his current home club, Te

Awamutu.He says having his son Michael

and mate Morgan Norval caddying for him made it a whole lot easier on such a hot day.

Scoring was of a particularly high standard throughout the fi eld.

Other standout players were Ani Bahler (78 gross), David Coupland (63 net), Ian Berry (64 net) and three newcomers who featured in the junior men’s stableford - M. Grigg (43 points), R. Apiti (41) and R. McCandlish (38).

Brad Shilton, Glen Millin and ex Pirongia club member Guy Pen-rose are included in a fi eld of 56 profession-als competing over 36 holes on Monday and Tuesday.

Newly turned profes-sionals Mark Purser and Josh Geary have entered, along with a contingent of Austral-ian senior profession-als using the tourna-ment as a forerunner to the Wairakei Seniors Championship later in the week.

Last year’s winner of the Order of Merit, Mark Brown and run-ner-up Grant Moor-head will be amongst one of the best profes-sional fi elds that this tournament has at-tracted.

It is the sixth year that Perry Aggregates has hosted the tourna-ment, bringing in ex-cess of $100,000 to the junior golf fund in the Waikato.

Local businesses have also got in behind Perry Aggregates mak-ing up the fi eld of 50 amateur teams.

There will be two 2-tee starts both days commencing at 7.30am and mid-day.

Spectators are wel-come to take in the action.

McDONALD’S KIHIKIHI SPEEDWAYMcDONALD’S PTR RACING NORTH ISLAND SUP

Super speedway actio

Forty drivers in hugely expensive fl ying machines will endeavour to smash and bash their way to the North Island Superstocks title at Kihikihi.

The two-day event, sponsored by PTR Racing, on Saturday and Sunday has attracted entries from every track in the North Island with the exception of Wel-lington.

Waikato superstocks champion David Roigard is expecting the fi eld of Nissan, Toyota, Chev and Ford V8s, ranging in value from $40,000 up to $150,000, will clock 110kph at the end of the straights.

“It certainly hurts when you hit the wall at that speed,” he quipped.

It is the fi rst time that McDonald’s Kihikihi Speedway has ever hosted the North Island Superstocks.

Roigard (Cambridge) is hoping to keep current 1NZ

Simon Joblin honest. He won the Waikato title at Huntly in December and has placed fourth, fi fth and sixth in previous North Island championships.

Joblin is keen to go one better than last season when he fi nished second in the North Island title and won the World 240s at Rotorua.

The fi eld includes previous New Zealand title holder Roydon Collingwood from Joblin’s home track Palm-erston North. He has been the World 240s champion twice, along with 2NZ and 3NZ.

Craig Rolston is another contender from Pamerston North. He knows his way around the Kihikihi track, hav-ing won the King Country Superstock Championships prior to Christmas.

Rotorua’s Darcy Hunter and Stan Hickey are well known names in speedway circles.

on on way for Kihikihi

Hunter comes from a family of high achieving speed-way drivers. He has previously held 1NZ, along with numerous other local and national titles.

Hickey, a past North Island champion, is defi nitely one to watch. He has twice held 3NZ, is a winner of two New Zealand Grand Prix and took out the King Country Superstocks at Kihikihi two years ago.

Huntly’s Jared Wade is driving one of two ‘tanks’ powered by a Nissan V8. He was 1NZ in 2003 and has won numerous regional championships.

The host Kihikihi club will be represented by fi ve driv-ers hoping their local track knowledge will give them an edge over the visitors.

Cars will be divided into three groups for three quali-fying races each on Saturday.

The 26 car fi eld for Sunday’s racing will comprise the

eight top point scorers from each group, along with the next two highest point scorers from the whole fi eld.

The format will be run on a reverse grid system on Sunday. Points accumulated from the fi rst two races will determine grid positions in the fi nal, with highest points to the front.

Spectators will also be treated to the annual Min-istock Stampede for the youth drivers, sponsored by Timmos ITM, on Sunday.

The event has attracted 40 entries from as far afi eld as Hawkes Bay and Palmerston North.

There is a large contingent coming from Huntly and Rotorua, while Kihikihi will be well represented by its growing section of young drivers.

Production saloons and streetstocks will also appear on Saturday, as will stockcars and saloons on Sunday.

Cricket’s battle of Waipa close contest

Te Awamutu Sports Green are still in con-tention for a spot in the fi nal of Waikato Valley cricket championship despite losing to Cam-bridge by 12 runs on Saturday.

Ireland international spin bowler Trevor Brittain played a sig-nifi cant role in the Cambridge victory at Albert Park.

He conceded only 29 runs off 10 overs to put the breaks on the scor-ing when Te Awamutu Sports Green looked to be getting on top in their quest to overhaul 244/8.

The Green team eventually fi nished up on 239/9 after 50 overs.

Openers Peter West (32) and Sam Stretton (21) put on 41 runs, followed by Graham Stewart (83) and Mark Thorsen (31) adding 57 in a fourth wicket stand.

Stewart took his average in the cham-pionship round to 53.8, while Thorsen’s is 40.7.

Vernon Woodhams (62) and Mark For-rest (40no) were the standout batsmen for Cambridge.

Bowling honours for the Green team were shared by Peter West, with 3/58, and Janus Botha, 3/45. Jared Bayly also im-pressed with 1/30 off 10 overs.

Cambridge and Te Aroha both leap-frog the Green team, jointly leading the competition with 29 points.

The Green team slip from fi rst to third on 27 points, with Morrins-ville making up the top four on 25.

Two rounds remain before the fi nal on March 10.

Te Awamutu Sports Green must beat Hin-uera at Matamata this Saturday and Morrinsville at home the following weekend, and rely on either Cambridge or Te Aroha getting beaten.

Cambridge are virtu-ally assured of claim-ing one of the fi nal’s berths, playing lowly ranked Mercury Bay and Paeroa over the next fortnight.

Te Aroha have the tougher road home, having to play Huntly and Waikare.

Chairman’s trophy competition leaders Pirongia surprisingly won by default from third placed Putaruru.

Te Awamutu Sports Gold could only muster 84 runs against Pio Pio, who replied with 86/2.

Player of the match was Pio Pio 17-year-old swing bowler Luke Drap-er. He claimed fi ve wickets at a cost of two runs, including a hat-trick.

LETTING RIP: Te Awamutu Sports Green left-arm medium pacer Andrew Lawry in action against Cambridge at Albert Park on Saturday. The fi eldsman is Sam Stretton. photopronz mike stinson

BMX joy in WellingtonMembers of the Te Awamutu

BMX club competed in the lat-est round of Super Club and Dalliston Teams Racing held in conjunction with the Welling-ton championships and T-shirt meet.

All eight riders fi nished in the top fi ve of each age group they entered.

Clay Merito won the eight year boys class, while the con-tinued rivalry between Connor Loomans and Joshua Smith took place in the nine year boys section.

Loomans came out on top, with Smith second. Haegan Ni-cholson was fourth.

Smith turned-the-tables on his club-mate and arch rival winning on day two of the meet. Loomans was second.

Codi Merito took out the 10 year boys, with Harry McCon-nell completing a Te Awamutu quinella.

Caleb Loomans won the 11 year boys, with Cameron Petch fi fth, and was second behind Loomans on Sunday.

The 12 year boys was a fi erce-ly competitive age group won by Cody Hobbs. Ryan Lewis was third and Patrick McKee fourth.

Lewis claimed the honours on Sunday, with Hobbs second and McKee third - completing a Te Awamutu trifecta.

Rebecca Petch had a top week-end taking out the 8-10 year girls, and a commendable sixth placing racing against the nine year boys on Sunday.

Vishal Patel was fourth in the 13 year boys and Craig Poyn-

ter second in the 35-44 cruiser class.

Ryan Lewis won the 11-12 year cruisers.

TOP TEAMThe McDonald’s Te Awamutu

team of Connor Loomans, Hae-gan Nicholson, Codi Merito, Harry McConnell, Ryan Lewis, Patrick McKee, Vishal Patel, Caleb Loomans and Craig Poyn-ter consolidated their overall lead in the Super Clubs com-petition.

The club also has members Rebecca Petch, Joshua Smith and Cameron Petch in the Dal-liston team competition, riding for Team Placemakers.

They all gained valuable points for their team as compe-tition gets down to the business end.

“Why not turn to pedal power this Go By Bike Day?”, says Paula White of Sport Waikato.

“On February 28 people all over New Zealand will be biking it, instead of driving it.

“We’re hoping for record par-ticipation in Te Awamutu!”

Sport Waikato is organising a yummy breakfast to be held outside of the Bank of New Zea-land on Alexandra Street from 7.00 - 8.30am.

It’s not to be missed. The BNZ has kindly spon-

sored this healthy breakfast and all you have to do to enjoy it is arrive on a bike.

Rather than hopping in the car, the people of Te Awamutu are encouraged by Sport Waikato to give biking a go.

Get together with your mates or colleagues and bike on down for some fantastic fun and food.

You may fi nd cycling is some-thing you’d like to do every day.

Over 750,000 New Zealand-

ers own bikes, and Go By Bike Day is a great opportunity to use them.

Two-thirds of all car journeys in New Zealand are 6km or less,

an easy cycling distance.Go By Bike Day activities

are being held in 35 centres, up from 31 last year, and organis-ers from Whangarei to Inver-cargill are expecting a record turnout for the second year in a row.

“There’s been a real cycling renaissance across New Zea-land and things are no different here in the Waipa district,” says Paula White.

“Cycling is good for fi tness and stress, great for the en-vironment, and easy on the wallet. Most of all though, it’s terrifi c fun – come to the Te Awamutu Go By Bike Day free breakfast and you’ll see.”

Go By Bike Day is co-ordi-nated by local and regional councils, sports trusts, cycle groups and other organisations with an interest in cycling.

Breakfast food is provided by sponsors.

It is one of a number of events being organised across the country as part of Bike Wise Week from February 24 to 4 March 4.

Jean Drummond Secretary

JUDITH GARDEN IS

COMING TO TOWN Special Meeting at 4.00pm this Saturday @ Taylors Restaurant, Greenhill Drive.

“Many have been caught up into third heaven visitations in Judith’s meeting as the Glory of God descends into the meeting. Healings, deliverance and amazing signs and wonders are usually seen. Manifestations of Gold and Silver. Gem stones falling in the meeting. But the most important thing is there is always a sense of awe of the person of Jesus and the Father released by the Holy Spirit in the meetings. Last time Judy was in New Zealand, Oil (lots of it) ran down four walls of the Pukekohe Town Hall. This happened as 14 pastors stood in unity for revival in New Zealand. God literally confirmed Psalm 133 before our eyes, with flashes around the room before the oil started to run. Children saw angels and started to shout with joy. Many were caught up (including many children) into heaven and received amazing visitations with Jesus and sights of heaven that were amazing. The Lord has told Judy to come again to New Zealand, as He calls his people to “Come up here”, this short visit by Judy promises to bring another outpouring of heaven to Te Awamutu.”

Te Awamutu Courier and CDs4nix (formerly Tracs) give readers the chance to celebrate Kitsch and NOFX playing Auck-land’s Powerstation on Saturday, March 3 by winning a copy of the opening act’s latest CD ‘The Burning Ground’.

Tickets from CDs4nix.When Kitsch punch and the

dual vocals and harmonies kick in, they are dynamic and melodic but retain the all important rawness. A rawness not just for effect but born of gut emotion.

‘The Burning Ground’ contains a string of tunes superior to anything the band has done in the past, and a few absolute stormers. Opening salvo ‘Inevitable’ sets the bar high, but this is topped by the infectious power of standout tracks ‘Poison Ribbons, Poison

Skies’ and ‘Stay Right Here’. Tempo changes, complementary guitar parts, extensive use of dynamics, an overall heavier sound and world class production values add up to the best Kitsch CD by a long measure.s.

These are just the guys to warm

you up for NOFX. Returning to our shores after an absence of six years, these princely purveyors of paragon punk are set to rock till they drop. Incorporating elements of skate punk, ska punk, hardcore punk amd other music genres and boasting record sales in excess of 6 million, they are the world’s biggest independant band.

NOFX’s music is known for it’s generally satirical treatment of issues such as politics, society, various subcultures, racism, the music industry and religion; and man can they party! Be there.

To be in to win simply put your name, address and daytime contact number on the back of a standard sized envelope, address it to ‘The Feelers Competition’ and make sure it reaches our of-fi ce by 5pm next Tuesday.

Kitsch open for NOFX
