United 

front for 

youths 

Waipa District Council hosted a 

breakfast meeting on Friday aimed 

at bringing people together to 

address issues around at risk youth 

and their families. 

A multi-agency approach is 

being proposed involving Police, 

Council, help agencies, education 

and business sectors. 

This is the first of two parts the 

Courier is presenting on how Join 

the Dots aims to help young people 

in our community. 

While Council hosted the event, 

and mayor Alan Livingston was 

MC, the breakfast was sponsored by 

Te Awamutu Altrusa as part of its 

youth initiatives, and speakers 

were from a range of agencies. 

The opening address was from 

Senior Sergeant Pete Van de 

Wetering. 

He said the initiative started as a 

result of Area Commander Inspector 

Carpenter and his Raglan staff 

trialling out help for a young person 

and the idea of some sort of panel to 

address youth problems was discussed. 

The concept was something like 

Family Violence panels that have 

now been in existence for some 

time and have proved to be quite 

successful. 

Over the winter months several 

people developed the youth panel 

idea. 

It is envisaged people or 

agencies could refer youth who are 

showing signs of being at risk of 

developing behavioural problems, 

which could eventually lead to 

criminal behaviour. 

The panel would intervene to 

steer that child, collaboratively 

with their family, away from that 

potential for trouble. 

Mr Van de Wetering said the 

reasons for the initiative were twofold. 

Firstly was for Police to work 

8896700AA 

smarter to reduce crime by 

intervening and preventing 

criminal activity. 

‘‘Youth are one of the recognised 

five drivers of crime, therefore we 

have to invest in prevention devices 

to curb and indeed turn around the 

rate of youth crime,’’ he said. 

‘‘We can’t do it alone, we need to 

partner with our community to do 

it. And we do need to do it before 

youth get immersed in the youth 

justice system.’’ 

Secondly, New Zealand has one 

of the highest youth suicide rates in 

the western world. 

‘‘By 2020 depression is going to 

be the greatest cause of death in the 

western world if things continue 

the way the are,’’ he said. 

‘‘Many of our youth who are in 

trouble are there because they 

simply don’t know what is possible 

and what they are capable of. 

‘‘Many of them at a tender age 

have lost hope. 

‘‘We would rather invest in 

preventing a life of crime before it 

starts.’’ 

How the panel will work 

is ongoing, but it is envisaged 

it will have enough representation 

across the community 

that it has a broad 

range of intelligence, ideas 

and influence, without being 

too large and inefficient. 

Police would be just part 

of the panel and the primary 

aim is to youth of intermediate 

school age while they can 

still be influenced in the right 

direction. 

A leader needs to be found 

who can tap into the 

resources of the community 

to have an influence of young 

people and their families. 

This help can be in the 

form of simply exposing the 

youth, and hopefully their

activity which the youth and their 

family will have no idea of, such as 

work, sports, arts, culture . . . some 

mentoring or similar to give young 

people ideas and hope for their own

Mr Van de Wetering says a key 

to the success will be community 

ownership.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR 

Council decisions ‘exacerbated’ rates problem 

Mr Finn, thanks for the 

lecture. This is only the third 

time we’ve had it. 

Granted the biggest portion 

of the rates increase results 

from the revaluation of property, 

this is beyond Council’s 

control. Acknowledged. 

Mr Finn I have spoken to a 

several thousand people during 

the last month, the following 

points come through loud and 

clear. 

The Council has exacerbated

ONLY 

the rates problem by adding an 

extra $76 on Te Awamutu rates 

to cover the Museum and 

Events Centre and in the same 

year cancelled the 5 percent 

discount (for prompt payment) 

This year’s rates are the 

‘straw that broke the camel’s 

back’. Then the Council wastes 

huge amounts of our money on 

a Velodrome and Cambridge 

Pool against the public’s 

wishes. 

Wake up and listen? You are 

Claims contradictory 

To say that the council does 

not listen and then to criticise the 

removal of the 5 percent discount 

is a contradiction. 

Council removed the discount, 

following a submission from a 

member of the public closely 

aligned to the Waipa Citizens and 

Ratepayers Association, as we 

recognised people on lower 

incomes were subsidising those 

who could actually afford to pay 

their rates in an up-front single 

lump sum. Those who paid their 

rates by instalment were 

subsidising 25 percent of ratepayers 

to the tune of $309,000. 

This equated to a 0.8 percent 

rates reduction in the amount of 

revenue we would have otherwise 

needed to collect across the district. 

It was about being fair and 

equitable. 

The letter writer quotes budget 

and debt increase percentages 

published in a June Waikato 

Times article. Council does not 

believe these figures are fairly 

presented and they do not recognise 

that Waipa is actually 

starting from a good position, as 

supported by other comparative 

data, which in effect exaggerates 

the increases. 

We consulted the community 

on all of the projects we intend to 

carry out as part of the 10 Year 

Plan process, the majority of 

which are infrastructure and 

compliance requirements. We listened 

to the submitters and then 

made decisions we believed were 

in the best interest of the community 

both for today and into 

the future. 

In 2011/12 the average rates 

cost per rateable property was 

$6.31 per day. For that we provided 

a host of activities. Any 

significant rates reduction would 

likely affect these levels of service 

and the community would be 

faced with making some hard 

decisions on what they are willing 

to sacrifice. 

Waipa residents have been 

consistent in telling the council 

they want high levels of service. 

This is what I believe contributed 

to 94 percent of residents 

reporting in the annual NRB 

survey that they would recommend 

Waipa as a great place to 

live.

In the next 10 years Waipa

we are in a recession looking

Infrastructure only during a

of sense. 

You call Waipa’s planned

Mr Finn you scare me. You 

purport to represent the people. 

You accept you can do better.

ROBIN DUNCAN 

Concern has always 

been residents’ welfare 

It must hard for many residents 

to make head or tail of 

what the issues over the rates 

are as there seems to be so 

many different versions. 

I have concerns with some 

of the statements made by Pat 

Bishop in Tuesday’s paper — 

‘‘the fiasco councillors made of 

fixing the 2012/13 rates’’. 

My personal recollections is 

that at that meeting it was 

decided to try and achieve a 

better balance in rating levies 

and not so many crossover 

charges from one ward to 

another. 

The increases we voted on 

was just over $62 in Cambridge 

and just over $65 in Te Awamutu 

with a district average of 

4.1-4.2 percent which seemed 

fair under the circumstances. 

When the flyer came out 

circulated to all homes the 

figures in that were the same 

ones we saw in March, I 

debated several times on the 

imbalance between Te Awamutu 

and Cambridge at meet- 

If so, then you need to join us tonight at 

6.30pm at homeward Te Awamutu and 

discover the 5 major causes of poor sleep 

and what to do about them. 

Listen to the experts from Sealy and learn 

what a new, quality bed will do for your 

health and wellbeing. 

Our sleep seminar in conjunction with 

Sealy Posturepedic, the world’s number 

one selling bed will help you to understand 

the support and comfort you should expect 

from a top quality bed. 

Attend our sleep seminar and take 

advantage of one-off amazing deals on any 

new Sealy Posturepedic bed. 

Those attending will have the opportunity to 

SAVE UP 50% 

TO 

on normal retail 

ings also wanting the rates 

indicators to go out 10 years. 

It was not until the rate 

accounts were sent out did we 

know the total impact. Other 

local councillors rang me 

expressing real concerns, to 

their credit the Council rating 

staff called a special meeting 

with local Councillors in 

which a frank discussion took 

place. 

After that a notice of notion 

on behalf of Hazel Barnes and 

me was put to the August 7 

Finance meeting ‘to initiate a 

review’ on rates, it was passed 

and amended at the August 28 

Council meeting to ‘the merits 

or otherwise’ and to present a 

report to the October 9 Strategic 

Planning meeting. 

This is not about attributing 

blame but hopefully to get a 

fairer more equitable rating 

system for Waipa residents. 

My concern has always 

been their wellbeing.

Festival celebrates 

its Diamond year 

BY CATHY ASPLIN 

In the very first programme of 

the Te Awamutu Competitions 

Society Annual Festival two of the 

young entrants were Wendy Bell 

and Beverley Hey. 

They were placed second in the 

piano duet at St Andrew’s Hall, 

after playing ‘Hungarian Dance 

No1’. 

The women will be better 

known to people today as Wendy 

Bain and Beverley Bryant. 

Both have been stalwarts of the 

Competitions Society over the 

years and are delighted to see the 

festival reach its Diamond Jubilee 

this year. 

Both are also life members and 

have contributed enormously to 

the success of the annual event. 

Mrs Bryant has been a piano 

teacher in Te Awamutu for many 

years and is currently co-convenor 

of the pianoforte section. 

Her late father Les Hey was a 

founding member, president of the 

society for eight years and later 

became patron. 

Mrs Bain is currently a 

convenor of the vocal section and 

was society president for 16 years. 

She is the longest serving member 

of the Te Awamutu Competitions 

Society (40 years) and has 

many fond memories of being both 

a competitor and a committee 

person. 

‘‘People are often surprised that 

I started playing piano because I 

am probably better know as a 

singer. 

‘‘But in those days you weren’t 

allowed to start singing before you 

were 16 as it wasn’t supposed to be 

good for your voice.’’ 

Of course many will know Mrs 

Bain went on to compete regularly 

in the vocal section and with great 

success. 

Her name is engraved on the 

oldest trophy the society currently 

presents. 

The Gavin Gifford Memorial 

Challenge Cup was first awarded 

in 1953 to local singer Helen Taylor. 

Mrs Bain won it in 1958 and 

other winners include Malvina 

Major (1962) and Kiri Te Kanawa 

(1963). 

‘‘Sister Mary Leo used to send 

down her pupils to compete 

because our festival was the first

week of the August school 

holidays. They could get an adjudication 

and be prepared for the 

Auckland festival in the second 

week of the holidays. 

‘‘The vocal section often ran late 

and in those days the adjudicators, 

such as Alma Johnson, often came 

from Auckland too. 

‘‘I remember one year the section 

was running late so they called 

the station to hold the train for the 

adjudicator to catch. 

‘‘After he was whisked away we 

realised he hadn’t filled in information 

required about the winners, so 

we had to ring the station and hold 

the train again so someone could

She says they committee didn’t 

just help run the sections. 

‘‘We also did lots of baking and 

made sure everyone had everything 

they needed - the shops 

weren’t open over the weekends 

back then.’’ 

She says the festival has been a 

wonderful platform for thousands 

of performers over the years and 

she hopes it will continue to be an 

important event on the the local 

arts calendar. 

‘‘But we do need some younger 

people to become involved to make 

sure it reaches the next milestone.’’ 

Clean up

Business carries on for 

A’Riginal Cakes this week — but 

not as usual. 

Owner Tracy Unsworth says 

clients can come to the back door 

of her Arawata Street shop — the 

front door is out of action after a 

stolen car crashed into it Sunday 

evening. 

The car had been stolen from 

Te Awamutu Bible Chapel 

carpark earlier and was seen by 

Police on Alexandra Street. 

There was short pursuit and 

the driver lost control and 

ploughed through the roundabout 

and into the shop doorway. 

Four men in the car 

attempted to decamp the scene. 

Two were apprehended and 

arrested on a variety of charges. 

Two are still being sought. 

It is expected to take a couple 

of weeks for new doors and 

windows to be made and fitted to 

the shop — but clients are still 

welcome to phone or call at the 

back door.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR 

Statements inaccurate 

The Letter to the Editor on 

Tuesday signed by Pat Bishop 

makes some wildly inaccurate 

statements which have to be 

responded to. 

Statement ‘‘Waipa District 

Council is overspending each 

year’’. Council sets its rates with 

the objective of a break even 

result. For the 2011/12 year we 

have reported an audited cash 

surplus of $104,000. For an incredibly 

diverse, multi-million dollar 

business with $1.1 billion of 

assets this clearly shows that we 

are running a financially tight 

ship. 

Statement ‘‘The fiasco councillors 

made of fixing 2012/13 

rates at a closed meeting in 

October 2011’’. Again, totally 

inaccurate. The fact is that we 

consulted with our community 

on the level of services and rates 

as part of the 10-Year Plan process 

in March 2012, submissions 

were considered at a public meeting 

in May and rates for 2012/13 

were adopted at a public council 

meeting in June. This was a very 

public process. 

Statement ‘‘Substantial costs 

in excess of $800,000 that were 

previously charged to properties 

connected to the water and 

sewerage systems have been 

transferred to the general and 

ward rates resulting in all rural 

properties being charged for 

town services’’. All properties, 

including rural properties, are 

being charged for the policy, 

monitoring and enforcement 

components of council providing 

water and sewerage. This is a 

whole of district benefit and 

therefore cost. The costs of the 

actual service delivery remains 

with the users. 

Statement ‘‘It is a fallacy that 

the increase of 4.3 percent was 

spread across the different mix of 

rates’’. The increase in total rates 

requirement this year was 4.3 

percent. This figure is correct 

and consistent. At the same time 

we consistently emphasised that 

it would not fall evenly across the 

district, let alone between property 

types and individual properties.

Statement ‘‘Mayor and councillors 

have tried to blame property 

revaluation for the big rate 

increases. That’s rubbish it has 

been caused by councillors’’. Yes, 

property revaluations have had a 

real impact but we always made 

it clear that changes to the 

Revenue and Financing Policy 

were also going to have an 

impact. The impact of these key 

drivers was always going to vary 

depending on property type and 

location. 

Statement ‘‘We have heard 

that our local councillors were 

given misleading figures by 

staff’’. While this may have been 

interpreted by one or more councillors, 

this is absolutely not the 

case. As a council we are 

extremely fortunate to have a 

Chief Executive with absolute 

integrity and highly qualified 

and experienced financial staff. 

Councillors were kept well and 

accurately informed throughout 

the process. Mr Bishop should be 

mindful that he has been guilty of 

giving the community misleading 

figures and information 

through his Letters to the Editor. 

Statement ‘‘There is ample 

opportunity to reduce costs, service 

core infrastructure and plan 

affordable growth for future generations’’. 

Maintaining infrastructure 

and good strategic planning 

are key requirements for 

this council. Reducing costs can 

be achieved if the level of service 

and facilities is reduced. The 

community has clearly signalled 

that they want current levels of 

service maintained. It must be 

pointed out that the Citizens and 

Ratepayers Association 

supported a new library and 

museum in their submission to 

the 10-Year Plan. You can’t have 

your cake and eat it. 

We have stated our position 

on the rates increases many 

times in the media and no longer 

intend to revisit those. Let’s 

approach issues with a positive 

attitude and focus on the future 

and what a great district we live 

in.

This exhibition features 50

These fascinating 

portraits were taken in Te 

Awamutu between about 1912

photographs are not named, so 

we are hoping the public can 

help us, and in the process may 

find that they are related to 

them.

Fonterra staff roll up 

sleeves for community 

A group of enthusiastic 

Fonterra staff helped clean up 

Centennial Park during Keep 

New Zealand Beautiful Week. 

With gloves on hands, high-vis 

jackets on backs and carrying 

black sacks they quickly spread 

over the park to clear rubbish. 

Items found ranged from bags 

of household rubbish and empty 

glass bottles to road cones and 

spare tyres. 

Te Awamutu Environmental 

Team Leader Marc Carney says 

the team put plenty of effort into 

improving an area which is frequently 

used by children. 

‘‘The team worked religiously 

from west to east covering every 

metre of the park.’’ 

Overcoming the first hurdle of 

rubbish recovery, the team 

quickly moved into rehabilitation 

of this lovely, but often 

underused, environment. 

‘‘Armed with shovels and 

three-four metre trees, the team 

set about adding to the plantings 

in the park. 

‘‘The final hurdle was to 

ensure the pond was secure for 

the teams of youth which frequent 

this park. 

‘‘Pulling pliers from holsters, 

the fence was repaired to ensure 

consistent security along the perimeter.’’ 

Mr Carney says he is grateful 

to the many Fonterra staff members 

and Waipa Council staff who 

turned up to make this a successful 

event. 

‘‘I’m sure the community 

appreciates their efforts and it 

has significantly improved an 

environment that our children 

play in.’’

As many as 500 shoeboxes 

full of of things to love, things 

to wear, things for hygiene 

and things to enjoy will be 

leaving Te Awamutu for children 

in Fiji and Cambodia in 

time for Christmas, if Joan 

McManus has her way. 

And she is determined her 

target will be met, she says. 

‘‘Last year we were down a 

bit in the number of boxes we 

sent away. 

‘‘We sent only 380 to children 

last year, because we 

also sent 300 boxes to the 

victims of the Christchurch 

earthquake,’’ Mrs McManus 

says. 

‘‘But this year I’ve got 500 

boxes, and already Te Awamutu 

Primary School has 

taken 100 of them. 

‘‘It’s wonderful to be 

teaching our children that 

compared with many other 

places they are so fortunate 

and that it is good to share 

some of what they have with 

children who have little or 

nothing.’’ 

More than 1200 boxes have 

been sent from Te Awamutu 

in the past five years. Ideally, 

each box should contain 

something to love, something 

to wear, something to read, 

something that is fun, something 

for hygiene, and something 

especially for either a 

boy or a girl. 

Operation Christmas 

Child first began in Wales, 

rapidly spread to the United 

States, and was taken up in 

New Zealand almost a decade 

ago. Mrs McManus began the 

Te Awamutu branch of the 

organisation six years ago, 

and has since sent shoeboxes 

of Christmas joy to children 

all over the world. 

The operation comes

year’s Operation Christmas Child. 

under the umbrella of the 

international relief agency 

Samaritan’s Purse, which 

works with children in more 

than 100 countries worldwide. 

Mrs McManus says that 

this year, members of the Te 

Awamutu Men’s Shed are 

contributing a number of 

handmade toys. 

As well, Paper Plus and 

the Mainly $2 shop have 

consented to having the 

shoeboxes available in their 

businesses, and if members 

of the public fill the boxes 

with goods from either shop 

they will be given a 10 per 

cent discount on the purchases. 

‘‘There are a number of ladies in the town 

who spend the whole year making all sorts of 

things — dolls, trinket boxes, hair decorations, 

clothing, beanies and toys,’’ she says.

Mrs McManus says every 

child in a selected village, 

from the age of two to 14, is 

given one of the parcels. 

She says the boxes can be 

filled by individuals, families, 

groups or 

businesshouses. 

The boxes should be 

returned to the Te Awamutu 

Baptist Church in Teasdale 

Street by Friday, October 19. 

The church is open 

Monday to Friday from 9am 

to 3pm for members of the

Wonderful array of 

handmade goods 

at iconic craft day 

The Pirongia Craft Day draws thousands of visitors every year, regardless 

of the weather. 

It is a special day that features New Zealand handmade or home-grown 

goods as well as a wide variety of food and some fun entertainment for adults 

and children alike. 

The event was started 34 years ago by a volunteer committee of dedicated 

local arts and crafts people who could see the potential for a unique, relaxed 

festival day. 

In fact it was known as the Pirongia Cottage Crafts Festival Day when it 

began in 1978. It was run by a group of cottage crafters who had been involved 

in the relocation and preservation of the original Pirongia School building (now 

used by Pirongia Playcentre). 

Initially it was only for local stall holders and was intended as a way to 

support local non profit community groups. 

The current committee upholds this vision by inviting local community 

groups to stage food stalls. 

(Only those specifically invited by the committee can take part in the day). 

A stallholders fee from crafters ensures the survival of the craft day and any 

surplus funds are redistributed to the community groups. 

SOMETHING FOR EVERYONE 

This year there are over 200 stalls featuring everything from plants, 

preserves and pottery to clothing, jewellery, garden ornaments and 

homewares. No commercial, secondhand or imported goods are accepted. 

The main street of Pirongia (Franklin Street) will be closed off from 6am to 

allow for the stall holders to set up, with the craft day kicking off at 9am. 

Entertainment includes a stiltwalker, the ‘Jellyman’, musician Johnny 

Nelson, school groups and the pipe band. 

Parking is available on side streets, at Pirongia School or Pirongia Rugby 

Grounds. 

The Pirongia Craft Day will finish at 3pm with the road re-opening around 

4pm.

Weddings 

Ten top tips for a terrifi c wedding 

✿ Dream location 

An outdoor setting will maximise 

some of the beautiful scenery we 

have in this country, but be prepared 

for bad weather with an alternative 

location or a marquee. 

✿ Written with love 

Bringing beautifully crafted stationery 

into your wedding will say a lot 

about your style. Made-to-order invitations, 

place cards, menus, seating 

plans that have a special design will 

really stand out on the day. 

✿ Enhancements 

Bring an evening to life with the glow 

of fairy lights, strung festoons and lanterns. 

It’s about creating the mood, so 

nothing too bright. 

✿ Creative crafts 

Hand-made preserves or baked 

goods for guests are such a treat to 

receive - and don’t forget the labels. 

Create your own personalised monogram 

and have it printed on. 

✿ Fresh fl owers 

Tie in colour with petal aisles and scattered 

blooms on tables. Maybe think 

outside the box with succulents, lemons 

or fresh rosemary. Fragrant herbs 

in vintage pots are also a winner and 

an easy take home gift for guests. 

✿ Eat, drink, be married 

Consider alternatives to the threecourse 

sit-down meal - perhaps long 

tables covered with gourmet platters, 

or a cocktail menu where guests 

graze on canapes. Maybe consider 

a dish from a country of origin. 

✿ Putting it together 

A wedding co-ordinator can help organise 

your day. Check their portfolio 

to make sure they will understand 

your style and preferences. Co-ordinators 

are the gel for the whole event, 

handling the unexpected, offering 

advice and minimising stress. 

8911979AA 

8913914AA 

8911837AA 

✿ Photographers 

Hiring a professional and trusted photographer 

should be a priority on 

any budget. Make sure it is someone 

you feel relaxed around. Get creative 

or even theatrical with your wedding 

shoot - have some fun. 

✿ Entertainment 

You can’t beat live music. Arrival 

impressions last, so having a well 

thought out playlist or string quartet 

playing when guests arrive, it will set 

the scene for a romantic evening. 

Consider your favourite alternative 

tune/s for the ceremony as well. 

✿ Details 

Personalise wherever you can - from 

stationery to decorations. Fragrant 

candles are nice to scent the room, 

Consider using local produce in your 

menu and perhaps plant a native 

tree to mark the occasion.

Lim makes it two 

in a row at champs 

Points leader Ohaupo 

youngster Marvin Lim 

dreams of being a professional 

ice hockey, and judging 

by his performances to 

date, it may become a reality. 

For the second year running 

the 12-year-old was 

selected for the Auckland Ice 

Hockey Association Under 13 

representative ice hockey 

team. 

And for the second year 

the team won gold at the 

national ice hockey championships, 

held this year in 

Auckland. 

‘‘There was a lot of pressure 

because the Auckland 

team has won gold for the 

last four years, so we were 

going for the fifth title in a 

row, which has never been 

done before in our grade.’’ he 

says. 

The games were close, 

with fierce competition in 

the early games. 

Auckland won their first 

two games against Christchurch 

and Southern (Otago 

District), but they were hard 

fought with close scores. 

On the final day they 

played a masterful third 

game against Southern, winning 

6-0 to secure the championship 

title, but barely an 

hour later they were back on 

the rink for their final game 

against Christchurch. 

Marvin had an excellent 

tournament receiving the 

Player of the Match award 

for the final game. 

He was first equal for 

points among the Auckland 

team. Players are awarded a 

point for every goal and 

every assist, when they set a 

team-mate up for a goal. 

In 2011 Marvin was 

awarded Auckland Ice 

Hockey’s Rookie of the Year, 

and this year, as one of the 

more experienced team 

members, he was elected one 

of the two assistant captains. 

Marvin has also played 

inline hockey for the Morrinsville 

Pirates since he was 

five-years-old, and started 

playing ice hockey as well 

two years ago, to build 

toward his dream of a professional 

career. 


NATIONAL ice hockey champion Marvin Lim of Ohaupo. 

He has a gruelling training 

and playing schedule 

which involves four trips to 

Auckland each week for ice 

hockey training and games, 

one inline training in Morrinsville 

per week, and 

travelling as far as New 

Plymouth for inline games at 

weekends. 

He says it is very hard, 

especially the travelling, but 

it is worth it to get the chance 

to play at high levels of both 

codes. 

Marvin gratefully 

acknowledges the support of 

the Ohaupo-Ngahinepouri 

Lions, which awarded him a 

Faye Coxhead Memorial 

grant earlier this year. 

With the ice hockey 

nationals now over, Marvin 

will now concentrate on 

training for the 2012 inline 

hockey Inter-regional Competition, 

representing the 

Central Region — Waihi, 

Hamilton, Morrinsville, Tauranga 

and New Plymouth. 

Marvin is aiming to achieve 

double success and be in both 

the inline and ice national 

gold medal winning teams. 

The inline hockey highlight 

so far this year for 

Marvin was wearing the silver 

fern in the New Zealand 

12-and-under team for the 

2012 Inline Hockey Oceania 

Tournament, where his team 

won gold, and New Zealand 

won the Tasman Cup over 

their Australian rivals. 

Representing his 

country at such a young age 

was a great achievement. 

As the youngest player in 

the team, he had to work 

extremely hard throughout 

the arduous trialling process 

— over 70 players 

competed for just 14 places 

in the team.

GOING FOR GOAL: National championship tournament points leader Marvin Lim in

Cold day doesn’t stop bowlers 

A cold and blustery day didn’t deter a good 

turn-out of club members and visitors at 

the Pirongia Bowling Club’s season opening 

day last weekend. 

Jessie Young rolled the first jack, with 

club life member Rob Goodhew bowling the 

first ball of the season. Three games were 

played, resulting in a win in the triples to 

Bob Kewish, Raye Bauke, and Ski McLean. 

Runners-up were Fritz Cameron, Les 

Liddington, Laurie Roycroft and Lyall 

Thomas.

Bowls honour for 

‘low key’ sportsman 

Ron 

Parsons says 

he’s really the 

low-key member 

of his family 

when it 

comes to 

sports. 

His four 

children have 

been or still are 

heavily 

involved in 

sport, and his 

wife Beverley 

is, he says 

‘‘very good at 

golf, and was 

also pretty 

good at tennis 

too’’. 

But now the 

67-year-old 

Pirongia 

farmer has 

found himself the centre of attention, 

after being awarded life membership 

of the Pirongia Bowling Club recently. 

‘‘I’d never played bowls before we 

moved up to Pirongia in 1992,’’ he says. 

‘‘We were farming at Murupara for 

15 years before we moved up here. I 

joined the Pirongia Bowling Club 

almost straight away when we arrived 

— bowls was a quick and easy sport to 

get into, and I’ve really enjoyed it.’’ 

And it’s not just the bowling aspect 

of the sport that got him hooked. He 

became seriously involved in the 

administration of his club, and within 

three years was elected club president. 

He held that position for the next five 

years, then took on the role of vicepresident 

for two years. 

‘‘I was also club secretary — 

treasurer for five years, and for about 

the past 10 years I’ve been the club 

tournament secretary,’’ he says. 

The work involves organising 

teams to take part in tournaments,

either at the 

Pirongia club 

or at other 

clubs around 

the Waikato. 

‘‘I play two 

or three times a 

week, and I’ve 

been with 

teams up to 

Whangarei, 

Tauranga, 

Napier, Taranaki 

— all over 

the place. I 

played in the 

pairs at the 

national championships 

in 

Auckland in 

2004, and I play 

in a lot of the 

tournaments in 

the Waikato 

circuit. 

‘‘I don’t think there’s a title in 

the club I haven’t won over the 

years. It’s a very good sport, and 

helps keep me fit,’’ he says. 

Mr Parsons says sport has 

always been a strong part of life 

among his family members. 

His three sons, Andrew, Richard 

and Geoffrey, are or have been 

keen rugby players, while his 

daughter, Angela, is a dedicated 

horsewoman. 

Ron joins a small and select 

group of life members of the 

Pirongia Bowls Club. There are 

only five others: Rob Goodhew, 

Peter Kendell, Joan Oates, Pam 

Mitchell and Merle Wyllie. 

Club president Peter Kewish 

says the life membership 

bestowed on Mr Parsons was welldeserved. 

‘‘He’s put a great deal of effort 

into the club over the years,’’ he 

says.

Local lifeguards win IRB race 


LIFEGUARDS (from left) Shane Edwards, Sam Dwen and Mark Edwards with their trophies from the 90 

Mile IRB Classic. 

Two local lifeguards 

helped the Trust Waikato 

Sunset Beach A team win 

this year’s 90 Mile IRB 

Classic by one of the 

closest margins ever. 

Brothers Shane and 

Mark Edwards of Ohaupo 

were joined by Sam Dwen 

in the race, which saw 

them pitted against 29 

teams from all over the 

North Island. 

Their endurance race 

began at Scott’s Point, the 

furthest point on 90 Mile 

Beach, with a sprint from 

the sand dunes down to 

the IRB’s on the water’s 

edge. 

Sunset Beach A team 

were first in the water 

and lead the first stage of 

the journey. 

Normally at this point 

the boats would travel 

within the wave break 

south to Motupia Island. 

But because of the 

adverse weather 

conditions the leg out and 

around the island was 

cancelled. 

Instead they travelled 

north, back to the start 

then turned and continued 

south, crossing the 

Bluff. 

The boat and motor is 

carried across the bluff, 

refuelling occurs here, 

then they are off again, 

south to Hukatere hill. 

Two of the crew have a 

two kilometre run up the 

hill to collect a tag then 

return, while the third 

member refuels. 

At the next stage the 

motor is taken off the 

boat, carried up the beach 

around a flag and then 

back to the boat. 

After refuelling they 

then carry on to the finish 

at Ahipara. 

After almost two and a 

half hours there was only 

six seconds between the 

first and second placegetters 

(Paekakariki). 

This is the fourth time 

the Sunset Beach team 

has taken part in the 

race. 

Previous results have 

ranged from seventh to 

second last year. 

Team manager 

Waikato Toyota 

Carolyn Edwards says 

the win this year was just 

reward for all the hard 

training over the cold 

winter months. 

‘‘The club is extremely 

proud of these lifeguards. 

‘‘This is truly an 

endurance competition 

and to not only finish but 

to win, shows outstanding 

lifesaving skills, fitness, 

strength and determination. 

‘‘The team will now 

begin preparation for the 

lifesaving season which 

starts over Labour Weekend.’’ 

The three team members 

are all volunteer 

lifeguards at Sunset 

Beach (Port Waikato).

‘Loving’ Swim For Life 


WATER Safety New Zealand Waikato water safety advisor Sarah Mortimer works with a group of Pekerau School 

students as part of the Sealord Swim For Life programme at the Livingstone Aquatic Centre. 

Swimming for more than 200 

youngsters at Pekerau School now 

has become part of their way of life 

over the past two years — and 

they’re loving it. 

The children, from Year 3 up, 

have been part of the nationwide 

Sealord Swim For Life programme 

aimed at cutting water-related 

accidents and tragedies around the 

country. 

The latest session was at the 

Livingstone Aquatic Centre last 

week. 

And for Pekerau School principal 

John Cubitt the value of the 

programme is ‘‘superb’’. 

‘‘We don’t have a pool at school, 

and the Sealord Swim For Life 

system is offering our children a 

professionally run programme 

which not only teaches them to 

swim but also the basics of survival 

in the water,’’ he says. 

This is the second year his 

school has been part of the pro-

gramme. 

More children will be participating 

next term, and he hopes the 

school can be involved again next 

year if the programme continues. 

‘‘For the non-swimmers in the 

school, this is just great. We have 

had children who wouldn’t even 

put a toe in the water, and to see 

them now having fun and enjoying 

being in the water, able to put their 

faces under and building their 

confidence — it’s huge for them,’’ 

says Mr Cubitt. 

‘‘I can’t speak too highly of the 

programme for the benefit it brings 

to the children. Sealord is doing a 

great job promoting swimming and 

water safety around the country.’’ 

The programmes provide 10 

swimming lessons for year 3 to 6 

students, with the ultimate goal of 

having each child able to swim 200 

metres. 

It also teaches them survival 

and water safety skills. 

8896187AA 

Sarah Mortimer, Waikato water 

safety advisor for Water Safety 

New Zealand, says that partnering 

with Harlequin Swim School at the 

Te Awamutu Events Centre has 

been hugely successful and allows 

the programme to reach more children. 

The programme has involved 

Pekerau School, Waipa Christian 

School, Pokuru School and Nga 

Pura pura o Te Aroha Kura Kaupapa. 

The lessons are all fully funded, 

and there is no cost to the children. 

Only one in five 10-year-old New 

Zealand children can swim 200 

metres, and 80 percent of all 

10-year-olds are unable to swim 

well enough to save themselves. 

New Zealand has one of the 

highest drowning rates in the 

developed world — twice as high as 

Australia and three times as high 

as Great Britain and the United 

States. 

Small’s team wins Tailby Buttons event 

Dawn Small skipped Julie 

Appledoorn and Val Sargent to win 

the Tailby Buttons at the Te Awamutu 

Bowling Club last weekend, 

with 3 1/2 wins and 32 points. 

Runners-up were Barbara Ryburn 

and Gael Connolly with 3 1/2 wins 

and 31 points. 

Third place was taken by Joy 

Allen, Lynda Bennett and Pat Oliver 

with three wins and 30 points. 

In the Men’s Handicap Pairs, 

Jim Roigard and Trevor Duffell 

defeated Les Ashby and Chris Tail 

21-13. 

The semi-finals saw Jim Roigard 

eliminate Bruce Amas and Bryan 

Ryburn, while Les Ashby defeated 

Terry Osment and John Taylor. 

The Pirongia Bowling Club held 

its first tournament for the season 

in excellent weather with the 

greens in near-perfect condition. 

Frankton Junction took the honours 

with four wins, their team 

being skip Frank Hancock, Noeline 

Handcock and Mike Cogney.

Ben learns what matters in 

life when he is forced to 

battle cheating opponents, 

dodgy loan sharks and a 

mother who has banned him 

from the race.
