Weather watch<br />

Waikato Regional Council<br />

is warning rain is likely to<br />

cause flooding of the Waipa<br />

River.<br />

The warning follows heavy<br />

rain since Sunday and it’s<br />

expected the rain could cause<br />

a once-in-20-year flood event.<br />

Flood plains around the<br />

Waipa and west coast<br />

waterways are expected to be<br />

saturated, while surface<br />

flooding in many areas is<br />

predicted.<br />

Farmers in those areas are<br />

urged to keep up to date on<br />

water levels and move stock to<br />

higher ground if necessary,<br />

while residents are advised<br />

that local roads could be<br />

affected by flooding and slips.<br />

Everyone is keen to know<br />

who won the huge Powerball<br />

prize (article right) in the<br />

weekend and if it’s been<br />

claimed.<br />

But another large Lotto<br />

prize is also still waiting to be<br />

claimed.<br />

Mother’s Day Lotto Draw —<br />

but no-one has come forward.<br />

One customer has a<br />

Mother’s Day voucher (part of<br />

the Triple Dip purchase) that<br />

won one of the 10 Audi A1s.<br />

So start hunting through<br />

your purse, empty the drawers<br />

or clean out the glovebox of<br />

that voucher!<br />

16-22). While there will still be<br />

collectors taking cash<br />

donations, people are also<br />

invited to donate their ‘words’.<br />

A Facebook App called<br />

‘Donate Your Words’ enables<br />

Kiwis to help a woman in need<br />

speak out and at the same<br />

time makes a small donation<br />

for each word they are free to<br />

speak.<br />

IS IT YOU? Kihikihi Bookshop owners Young and Susie Yeo are waiting to see who won $5.5 million in Lotto and Powerball from a ticket they<br />

sold.<br />

BY DEAN TAYLOR<br />

There’s just one question on<br />

everyone’s mind this week — who<br />

has won the $5.5 million Powerball<br />

First Division prize with a ticket<br />

from Kihikihi Bookshop.<br />

The win is the biggest in the<br />

area since Lotto began and also<br />

takes Kihikihi Bookshop to the top<br />

of the major money stakes.<br />

It is also the first time in Lotto<br />

history that we have had a Lotto<br />

millionaire — previous winnings<br />

have all been under the one million<br />

dollar mark, or in one case was<br />

$1.38 million, but shared four ways.<br />

Bookshop owners Young and<br />

Susie Yeo were woken to the news<br />

on Sunday by New Zealand Herald<br />

reporter James Ihaka.<br />

The couple have owned the<br />

store just over two years, but as<br />

Kihikihi locals of 10 years are<br />

hoping it is one of their regulars<br />

who won.<br />

Mr Yeo says it is hard to<br />

imagine how much money $5.5<br />

million is.<br />

‘‘Hopefully it is going to someone<br />

who needs it and who will<br />

spend it wisely,’’ he says.<br />

Mrs Yeo says people coming in<br />

to the store are all asking the same<br />

question — has it been claimed yet.<br />

As of going to print the answer<br />

was no.<br />

NZ Lotteries confirm the prize<br />

has not been claimed — nor do they<br />

expect that to happen in Kihikihi.<br />

Communications advisor Victoria<br />

Barton-Chapple says people<br />

in smaller centres usually check<br />

their ticket out of town, or like last<br />

week’s winners, come to the Wellington<br />

headquarters.<br />

NZ Lotteries chief executive<br />

Wayne Pickup says last week a<br />

couple won $6.5 million, flew to<br />

Wellington and caught the bus to<br />

their office to collect their prize.<br />

The Kihikihi winner will be the<br />

sixth Powerball multi-millionaire<br />

to be created in <strong>2012</strong> — and the 95th<br />

Powerball winner since it was<br />

introduced in 2001.’’<br />

The Yeos say if it is a local<br />

winner it will be good reward for<br />

the loyalty of Kihikihi residents<br />

who shop in the village.<br />

Previously under their ownership<br />

the biggest win was a local<br />

woman who won a Mercedes Benz<br />

valued at over $100,000 in a<br />

Mother’s Day draw.<br />

Under previous owners there<br />

were three Lotto winners.<br />

Paper Plus <strong>Te</strong> <strong>Awamutu</strong> has<br />

had the most Lotto winners —<br />

eight since 1992, and Pak’N Save,<br />

Video Ezy and Lotto and Fresh<br />

Choice have all had one winner.<br />

No to Cambridge pool<br />

Setting up trusts to raise<br />

funds for pools is nothing new.<br />

That is how the <strong>Te</strong> <strong>Awamutu</strong><br />

Events Centre funds were<br />

raised.<br />

Most people will remember<br />

when that was built the<br />

trustees did not raise nearly<br />

sufficient funds for it and the<br />

Council did not sell enough<br />

assets to fund it, so the balance<br />

of funds were raised by<br />

borrowing.<br />

Despite my many requests,<br />

then as a councillor and person<br />

responsible, I was never told<br />

how much extra borrowing<br />

there was or who authorised it.<br />

The trustees were simply<br />

thanked for their splendid job<br />

and the events centre was built<br />

and the debt became part of the<br />

pool of debt the WDC has.<br />

At the time I suggested a<br />

longer time frame so that those<br />

who were fundraising could<br />

meet their earlier promises.<br />

<strong>Te</strong> <strong>Awamutu</strong> had a town<br />

hall fund that was tipped in to<br />

the project. In reality the project<br />

was, and still is, a disaster<br />

but those that wanted a pool<br />

got one at the expense of others<br />

and a management company<br />

got a free job worth $200K per<br />

year, a free business.<br />

Now we have a situation<br />

where a minority in Cambridge<br />

want another pool and<br />

they have failed to meet their<br />

agreed fundraising target. The<br />

WDC have employed professional<br />

fund raisers to raise<br />

funds, however that produced<br />

a substantial loss of about<br />

$200K and I understand the<br />

WDC have spent about $2<br />

million on plans and dreams.<br />

Apparently they then voted<br />

to ‘can’ the whole<br />

thing due to lack of funds.<br />

Amazing that they finally<br />

found it in them to be brave.<br />

The pool proponents have<br />

however tried to come back<br />

with this trust malarkey.<br />

They, including the Cambridge<br />

councillors, seem to not<br />

understand what the word no<br />

means. It is sad that they have<br />

been let down.<br />

The rumour is that, if they<br />

supported the velodrome,<br />

those who wanted that would<br />

support them with money for a<br />

pool but it did not happen. A<br />

sort of gentlemen’s rip off.<br />

As the Council have voted<br />

against a pool in Cambridge,<br />

that should be the end of the<br />

matter.<br />

The Council CEO Mr Dyet<br />

now has no entitlement to put<br />

anything further on the<br />

agenda regarding a Cambridge<br />

pool until such time as the<br />

Cambridge people can firstly<br />

decide what they want and<br />

then show that they can raise<br />

the required funds.<br />

JAMES PARLANE<br />

GST has to be listed in quote by tradesmen<br />

In the ‘What’s Hot, What’s<br />

Not’ column last Thursday a<br />

correspondent complained<br />

about tradesmen who quote<br />

for a job but do not include<br />

GST.<br />

He or she should be aware<br />

that if a quote is received and<br />

makes no mention of GST,<br />

then that is all you are legally<br />

required to pay.<br />

To add it on later is a<br />

breach of the Fair Trading<br />

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR<br />

Act and quite illegal. If this<br />

happens, pay only the amount<br />

of the quote.<br />

If you have already paid it,<br />

claim it back from the tradesman<br />

and, if they refuse, take it<br />

to the Disputes Tribunal for a<br />

refund.<br />

They will have little patience<br />

with the tradesman.<br />

If you are asking for a<br />

quote, always get it in writing<br />

to save arguments later on the<br />

amount, and whether it was a<br />

firm quote or an estimate.<br />

This is from Consumer<br />

magazine’s website:<br />

‘If GST is not included in a<br />

quote or advertised price, this<br />

must be made clear. If it isn’t,<br />

you can argue that you should<br />

just pay the figure quoted.<br />

Companies which have<br />

advertised prices that do not<br />

include GST, and not made<br />

this clear, have been<br />

World gown glory for<br />

Arohena dressmaker<br />

BY DEAN TAYLOR<br />

When 16-year-old<br />

Aucklander Aleisha<br />

Robertson recently took<br />

out the Miss T.E.E.N. title<br />

in Houston, <strong>Te</strong>xas, no one<br />

was more excited than<br />

Arohena’s Judy Board.<br />

Mrs Board is not only<br />

director of judges for<br />

Pageants of New Zealand,<br />

but she had made the evening<br />

gown Aleisha wore in<br />

the final from material purchased<br />

in <strong>Te</strong> <strong>Awamutu</strong> —<br />

and that gown was also a<br />

winner.<br />

Aleisha is the current<br />

Miss <strong>Te</strong>en New Zealand,<br />

and by winning the Photogenic,<br />

Evening Gown and<br />

overall Miss T.E.E.N. title<br />

picked up prizes including<br />

a $5000 Crown Couture,<br />

hair products, cosmetics,<br />

shoes, jewellery, website<br />

promotions, media training<br />

and a Barclay College<br />

scholarship . . . and lots<br />

more.<br />

It also means Mrs Board<br />

is the first New Zealander<br />

to win an Evening Gown<br />

title at an international<br />

pageant according to<br />

Pageants of New Zealand<br />

founder Dianne Foley.<br />

Mrs Board says she has<br />

always been a dressmaker,<br />

learning as a child from<br />

her mother.<br />

She says her parents<br />

were conservative, so if she<br />

wanted something fashionable<br />

she had to make it<br />

herself.<br />

Her pocket money<br />

always went on fabric.<br />

In her adult life she<br />

sewed for herself and her<br />

family.<br />

She says it has changed<br />

so much now — clothes are<br />

cheap and then they get<br />

thrown out.<br />

Mrs Board has been in<br />

Arohena seven years and<br />

owns JAK Farms which is<br />

run run by her son-in-law<br />

and daughter, Alan and<br />

TC<strong>17</strong><strong>07</strong>12DT01<br />

DRESSMAKER Judy Board made the gown which Miss T.E.E.N. Aleisha Robertson<br />

(bottom of page) wore in the final of the international event. She is pictured with the<br />

jacket she is now making for Pageants of New Zealand founder Dianne Foley.<br />

Karina Belfield.<br />

She got involved in<br />

pageants not though her<br />

interest in fashion, but<br />

through sport.<br />

Mrs Board has played<br />

representative hockey for<br />

years and is a member of<br />

the New Zealand masters<br />

team.<br />

Mrs Foley is also a<br />

representative player of<br />

longstanding, and the pair<br />

met and became friends at<br />

masters level.<br />

Both are guest members<br />

of the NSW/Victoria masters<br />

team that will play in<br />

the PanPacs and then<br />

World Masters Games in<br />

Turin.<br />

Mrs Board became<br />

involved in the pageants<br />

and is now director of<br />

judges.<br />

She says it is great for<br />

the girls, and a far cry from<br />

the beauty pageants of old.<br />

She believes they are<br />

good for the confidence and<br />

future careers of the girls<br />

who enter and she loves<br />

being involved.<br />

When Mrs Foley also<br />

found out her friend was a<br />

dressmaker she was<br />

‘‘told’’ she would be making<br />

the evening gown for<br />

Miss <strong>Te</strong>en New Zealand.<br />

Mrs Board had a piece<br />

of material she had purchased<br />

for a jacket for<br />

herself from Stichin’ Stuff<br />

that she immediately<br />

thought would be perfect.<br />

She asked owner<br />

<strong>Te</strong>resa Reymer if she<br />

could get more, and she<br />

obliged.<br />

Mrs Board had definite<br />

ideas about the dress,<br />

which she designed and<br />

made.<br />

The fabric is a maroon<br />

and pewter stretch with<br />

black lace overlay.<br />

It changes in the light<br />

and hangs beautifully.<br />

Mrs Board says too<br />

many dresses are made<br />

from fabrics that are too<br />

figure hugging, and show<br />

every strap and bump.<br />

‘‘Aleisha is quite a<br />

modest girl, this material<br />

hugs her figure without<br />

showing too much,’’ says<br />

Mrs Board.<br />

She designed a fish tail<br />

train to make it flow, but<br />

that would be easy to walk<br />

in and wouldn’t need to be<br />

lifted to negotiate stairs.<br />

A built-in bra and fitted<br />

bone sides hold everything<br />

in place.<br />

The thoughtfulness<br />

obviously paid off as it<br />

was reported Aleisha<br />

looked stunning.<br />

Mrs Board has already<br />

had requests from a few<br />

girls in the know to design<br />

and make ball gowns and<br />

graduation dresses, but at<br />

present is putting the<br />

finishing touches to<br />

another special creation.<br />

She is making a jacket<br />

for her friend Dianne to<br />

wear to a Nutrimetics conference<br />

overseas.<br />

<strong>Te</strong> <strong>Awamutu</strong> gaining taste for donburi<br />

Sushi Corner is a<br />

place of warm smiles,<br />

trays of tasty sushi rolls,<br />

vegetable tempura and<br />

heaped bowls of rich,<br />

spicy and very filling<br />

donburi.<br />

And for the rest of<br />

this month all the meals<br />

are served with a cup of<br />

free hot miso soup.<br />

The Alexandra Street<br />

business, which opened<br />

at the beginning of July,<br />

is owned by the Yang<br />

family and managed by<br />

Thomas Kim. Sue Yang’s<br />

mother Jin is also helping<br />

out as the new business<br />

gets established.<br />

Mrs Yang Snr and her<br />

husband already own<br />

and run two sushi bars,<br />

one in Sloane Street, <strong>Te</strong><br />

<strong>Awamutu</strong>, and the other<br />

in Maniapoto Street,<br />

Otorohanga. The Yang<br />

family is from Korea,<br />

and its chefs are Japanese<br />

and Korean.<br />

‘‘This is the first time<br />

this style of fresh<br />

donburi has been<br />

offered in <strong>Te</strong> <strong>Awamutu</strong>,’’<br />

says the younger<br />

Mrs Yang.<br />

All the meals from<br />

the new food bar are<br />

available for takeaway,<br />

and there are also several<br />

small tables where<br />

meals can be eaten on<br />

the premises.<br />

Donburi consists of a<br />

generous-sized bowl<br />

with warm rice in the<br />

bottom, a selection of 10<br />

finely-sliced vegetables,<br />

any two of eight tasty<br />

sauces, from chilli to<br />

mayonnaise, and then<br />

topped with any two of<br />

TE AWAMUTU COURIER, TUESDAY, JULY <strong>17</strong>, <strong>2012</strong> 5<br />

Chance to challenge yourself<br />

BY CATHY ASPLIN<br />

<strong>Te</strong> <strong>Awamutu</strong> Volunteer Fire Brigade’s first<br />

Firefighter Challenge held in April was so successful<br />

that another is being staged later this month.<br />

Spokesperson Chris Bestwick says planning is well<br />

underway.<br />

‘‘We have over 40 firefighters, both volunteer and<br />

paid, from around the Waikato, Bay of Plenty and<br />

Auckland areas who have entered. <strong>Te</strong>n from our own<br />

brigade will be competing — including our Chief Fire<br />

Officer Ian Campbell.’’<br />

The challenge on July 28 will kick off at 9am and<br />

finish around 4pm.<br />

‘‘The day begins with individual runs, then tandem<br />

and team events. The finals will be staged in the<br />

afternoon.<br />

‘‘The event is a chance for us to show people what<br />

else we do in the Fire Service — as they probably only<br />

see us racing up and down the main street attending<br />

incidents.<br />

‘‘For <strong>Te</strong> <strong>Awamutu</strong> firefighters it is a great chance to<br />

pit our skills against others and the clock.’’<br />

The <strong>Te</strong> <strong>Awamutu</strong> Firefighter Challenge requires<br />

entrants to wear full firefighting gear while they<br />

complete a set list of tasks.<br />

These include climbing a tower carrying a hose,<br />

hoisting a coil three storeys, driving a beam with a shot<br />

hammer, using a hose to knock down a disk and<br />

dragging a dummy backwards for the last 30m.<br />

<strong>Te</strong> <strong>Awamutu</strong> firefighter Hamish Doohan tried the<br />

challenge for the first time in April and says it a was a<br />

great experience.<br />

He already had a high level of fitness in readiness for<br />

the Sky City Firefighter Challenge (which he competed<br />

in a impressive time of 11 minutes) so it was a matter of<br />

training on the course.<br />

‘‘We trained for several Sundays before the event<br />

which helped me get used to the demands of the event.<br />

‘‘I took part in the individual, tandem, team and<br />

relay events during the day.<br />

‘‘It was good fun, but those last few metres dragging<br />

the dummy are probably the toughest, I was knackered<br />

at that stage.’’<br />

While he won’t be here to compete in the challenge<br />

on July 28, he plans to compete in an event later in the<br />

year.<br />

‘‘This course is very similar to the Firefighter<br />

Combat Challenge, so it’s a great way to test yourself. I<br />

encourage others to give it a go.’’<br />

■ <strong>Te</strong> <strong>Awamutu</strong> Firefighter Challenge begins at 9am on<br />

Saturday, July 28. Best viewing from carpark behind public<br />

library (entrance off Redoubt Street).<br />

CKL Planning<br />

Manager<br />

Waipa district plan unveiled<br />

CKL concerned at level of Council control<br />

CKL commends Waipa District<br />

Council staff on the new<br />

proposed District Plan which sets<br />

out the rules by which any<br />

development within the Waipa<br />

District must abide over the next<br />

10 years.<br />

With origins dating back at<br />

least 50 years in the region, CKL<br />

Planning, Surveying, Engineering<br />

is, however, concerned at the<br />

level of controls and the amount<br />

of restrictions the council is<br />

proposing to introduce for any<br />

form of land use or development.<br />

The challenges facing all district<br />

plan reviews throughout<br />

New Zealand has brought a new<br />

awareness of the need to protect<br />

quality soils for their best utilisation<br />

— in the Waipa and Waikato<br />

that is of course dairying.<br />

CKL endorses this philosophy in<br />

principal; however, the company<br />

is concerned that the proposed<br />

changes to the rules will<br />

ultimately restrict growth in the<br />

district.<br />

Experience shows us that<br />

more red tape, more controls and<br />

more restrictions tend to bring<br />

associated higher time input and<br />

therefore higher costs. CKL<br />

already are finding that land<br />

owners are shying away because<br />

the economics of a project just<br />

don’t ‘stack up’.<br />

Two rural subdivision rules<br />

that Waipa District Council currently<br />

have, which are destined<br />

to be removed, are the ‘Long<br />

Association Holding’(LAH) rule<br />

and the ‘Surplus Dwelling’ rule.<br />

Council maintain that these<br />

smaller lot rural subdivisions<br />

have led to ‘ribbon development’<br />

and fragmentation and cite the<br />

Kaipaki district as being an<br />

example of this.<br />

Kay Carter<br />

Branch Manager<br />

Associate<br />

Jonathan Gwyn<br />

CKL Survey<br />

Manager<br />

CKL disagrees. Kaipaki is an<br />

example of a vibrant district with<br />

diversification of land use into<br />

blueberries, nurseries, horse<br />

studs/agistment, cafes and hot<br />

houses, being just some of the<br />

activities bringing character and<br />

opportunity to the district for<br />

greater employment and revenue<br />

from other sources.<br />

The LAH rule allows for someone<br />

who has owned and worked<br />

on their land for at least 15 years,<br />

to subdivide out a lot around<br />

their existing dwelling or a small<br />

piece of bare land no greater than<br />

5000m 2 on which to build a new<br />

home for themselves. This<br />

enables retirement on the family<br />

holding, but with title separate to<br />

that of the farm. There is also has<br />

a social benefit to the farming<br />

community in that retiring<br />

farmers are able to stay in the<br />

district and provide their<br />

ongoing wisdom and support to<br />

the family farm and surrounds.<br />

Statistics apparently reveal that<br />

50 per cent of these LAH titles are<br />

onsold and the assumption<br />

follows that the farmer has<br />

‘milked the system’, creating the<br />

title for capital gain. However,<br />

the stats probably do not analyse<br />

who bought the title.<br />

The social ‘association with<br />

the district’ aspect is a consideration<br />

which seems to have been<br />

overlooked with the proposed<br />

removal of this rule.<br />

The Surplus Dwelling rule<br />

allows subdivision into a separate<br />

title of a farm house or cottage<br />

that, perhaps because of<br />

advances in technology, is no<br />

longer required for the extra<br />

farm worker. This rule does<br />

allow the farmer to sell off that<br />

surplus asset and generate some<br />

capital to plough back into the<br />

farm. Of course it also provides<br />

for a ‘lifestyler’ to live in and<br />

enjoy a rural environment.<br />

The Urban Subdivision rules<br />

are being altered under the guise<br />

of ‘protecting the rural nature’ of<br />

our town. CKL recalls that Council<br />

had that same philosophy at<br />

the last review ten years ago and<br />

believe the current rules have<br />

been working well in this regard.<br />

Council now propose to put<br />

the average size of sections in<br />

town up from a 400m 2 minimum<br />

to 500m, 2 whilst also introducing<br />

an average of 600m 2 for three or<br />

more lots and a maximum size of<br />

800m 2 , net of any access.<br />

These rules will inhibit infill<br />

housing as there are few sections<br />

available in <strong>Te</strong> <strong>Awamutu</strong> of a size<br />

to meet the area criteria. This<br />

criteria seems incongruent when<br />

we have a large demographic of<br />

aging population who will no<br />

doubt create a demand for<br />

smaller sections and town house<br />

living in the near future.<br />

Council has gone some way to<br />

addressing the future need for<br />

housing by introducing some<br />

areas of town to be designated for<br />

high density dwelling, which is<br />

applaudable. The challenge here<br />

for Council is to choose areas<br />

which take into account land<br />

stability, vehicular access, distance<br />

from town , availability of<br />

services reticulation and land<br />

which is fit for purpose.<br />

The proposed increase of the<br />

average size of an urban section<br />

restricts the possibility of fully<br />

utilising the land now within the<br />

town boundaries. This puts the<br />

onus for the future growth of <strong>Te</strong><br />

<strong>Awamutu</strong> squarely on the shoulders<br />

of three to four private<br />

developers seem currently not<br />

Whilst CKL appreciates the<br />

huge amount of planning and<br />

forethought that has gone into<br />

the creation of the proposed<br />

District Plan, they are concerned<br />

that the growth of <strong>Te</strong> <strong>Awamutu</strong><br />

will not be as Council forecast if<br />

all the proposed new rules are<br />

implemented. The bottom line is<br />

that any predictions and budgets<br />

based on revenue to Council<br />

provided by on-going development<br />

in the district may fall well<br />

short if restrictive rules introduced<br />

are growth retardant and<br />

if no-one can afford to do it.<br />

Margy strides to better health<br />

Margy Lynch generally<br />

sees more cows than people<br />

She’s out on the country<br />

‘‘After having problems<br />

with my back and some other<br />

setbacks in life, I decided to<br />

take matters into my own<br />

hands by walking an hour a<br />

day.<br />

‘‘It began as a way to keep<br />

fit and eventually I started<br />

building up the kilometres.<br />

‘‘A friend encouraged me<br />

to join her in the 12km Hamilton<br />

Lake fun walk last year<br />

and I really enjoyed it.<br />

‘‘So I extended myself<br />

again and my next event was<br />

the Ellerslie Racecourse 21km<br />

event.<br />

‘‘Earlier this year I<br />

completed the ‘big one’ — the<br />

Round Rotorua Lake Marathon.<br />

Completing those 42<br />

kilometres is my biggest<br />

achievement to date and I am<br />

proud of my first marathon<br />

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR<br />

Electioneering seems to have begun<br />

Pat Bishop’s letter ‘Answer Sought on<br />

Amalgamation Stance’ of July 10 would<br />

seem to indicate that electioneering is<br />

already underway for the council elections<br />

in just over a year.<br />

Firstly, Cr Wilson’s notice of motion to<br />

discuss amalgamation of councils was not<br />

accepted by the committee chairman as per<br />

appropriate meeting procedures. That<br />

decision had nothing to do with the poor<br />

wording of the motion or the sending of<br />

‘‘wrong messages’’, but was entirely on the<br />

basis of standing orders.<br />

Secondly, Mr Bishop seems to infer that<br />

I’m doing some deal with other councils<br />

without the knowledge of my Waipa council.<br />

This is totally incorrect.<br />

For the record, I don’t support amalgamation<br />

for Waipa District. Why would I<br />

when Waipa is the best district in New<br />

Zealand? While Waipa is the Home of<br />

Champions, it is also a Champion Home. As<br />

well, Janet and I have given our total<br />

commitment to our district over the past <strong>17</strong><br />

years and I don’t see why others should cash<br />

in on the special Waipa that has been built.<br />

But, having said that, you can’t keep your<br />

head in the sand as Messrs Bishop and<br />

Wilson would want. Refer back to 1989 and<br />

<strong>Te</strong> <strong>Awamutu</strong> and Cambridge Boroughs and<br />

Waipa County were all doing a good job. But<br />

the Local Government Commission determined<br />

that there should be amalgamation<br />

nationwide and from that evolved Waipa<br />

District.<br />

With the current review of local government<br />

there is a strong likelihood that the<br />

Local Government Commission will again<br />

be given strong powers to carry out amalgamations.<br />

Therefore, Waipa has to keep an<br />

open mind and ensure that if there is any<br />

change forced it is on our terms rather than<br />

us being dictated to.<br />

In the meantime the Waikato Mayoral<br />

Forum, which CE Garry Dyet also attends,<br />

is working towards Waikato councils operating<br />

more cost effectively by collaborating<br />

and investigating the sharing of services<br />

including roading, planning, water and<br />

waste water.<br />

Integral to this it has been agreed by all<br />

mayors that discussions of amalgamation<br />

are not on the agenda.<br />

Importantly, no commitment will be<br />

made by me as mayor. All shared services<br />

are being investigated by the mayors and<br />

their CEs but, democratically, any decisions<br />

will be made by each and every council.<br />

ALAN LIVINGSTON<br />

Waipa District mayor<br />

Threat to democracy<br />

Pat Bishop, in his recent Courier letter,<br />

asks WDC Mayor, Mr Livingston, his stance<br />

on the amalgamation issue. The word<br />

amalgamation rings alarm bells.<br />

Because we are living under capitalism<br />

words as: amalgamation, biggest, mega,<br />

greatest and super etc are popular. For<br />

under capitalism, property is concentrated<br />

in the hands of the few.<br />

Likewise, ruling groups such as local<br />

body councils amalgamate with other<br />

councils, giving power to the hands of the<br />

few.<br />

The abolition of property is the beginning<br />

of slavery. Capitalism concentrates<br />

property, and power, in the hands of the few.<br />

Communism confiscates it all under the<br />

name of — the collectivity. All of these<br />

smack at democracy.<br />

It is time that we all, especially those in<br />

authority, remembered history for we can<br />

learn valuable lessons from it and hopefully,<br />

avoid mistakes of the past.<br />

In view of the above I am interested to<br />

know what our mayor and what others have<br />

to say on the current amalgamation issue.<br />

They are gunning for a three-peat<br />

Kids gain sports<br />

skills in holidays<br />

Children flocked to <strong>Te</strong><br />

<strong>Awamutu</strong>’s KiwiSport Holiday Programme<br />

based at the Events Centre<br />

over the July school holidays.<br />

Sports featured included badminton,<br />

netball, squash, martial arts and<br />

cricket, along with Energize Games.<br />

Each sport was run by a<br />

KiwiSport officer who provided<br />

coaching and an opportunity for the<br />

children to learn about each of the<br />

sports with a practical element<br />

included.<br />

The intention was for children to<br />

gain new skills and experience a new<br />

sport as a potential option for the<br />

future.<br />

A bonus for children attending<br />

was to participate in a netball module<br />

run by KiwiSport Netball officer<br />

Rachel Beale, while also observing a<br />

Waikato Bay of Plenty Magic netball<br />

squad training session.<br />

‘‘It is hoped that this opportunity<br />

may trigger interest and inspire<br />

young people to take up or continue<br />

to play the sport of netball,’’ says<br />

Waipa District sports co-ordinator<br />

Jude Till.<br />

The programme catered to 5- to<br />

12-year-olds, with approximately 80<br />

children attending daily.<br />

Sport Waikato <strong>Te</strong>am Energize’s<br />

Anton Barr, Garth Thomas and<br />

Tracey Fleming provided lots of<br />

games and activities as an extra<br />

option due to the large numbers of<br />

children attending.<br />

In preparation for the holiday<br />

programme and other voluntary<br />

opportunities, local young leaders<br />

from the Waipa district were offered<br />

the opportunity to attend a<br />

KiwiSport leadership training day<br />

in association with the Waikato<br />

Institute for Leisure and Sport<br />

Studies (WILSS) held at the Kaipaki<br />

Hall and Sports Centre.<br />

The programme is designed to<br />

help young leaders to gain experience,<br />

develop confidence and learn<br />

and build on their practical leadership<br />

skills to be used for future<br />

involvement working with groups of<br />

young people in their communities.<br />

‘‘This is exactly the links we<br />

would like to see being made<br />

between a range of stakeholders and<br />

the provision of opportunities for<br />

our local young people,’’ says Till.<br />

Ariana inspired by Ferns star<br />

BY COLIN THORSEN<br />

Rising <strong>Te</strong> <strong>Awamutu</strong> netball star Ariana Cable-Dixon<br />

is keen to follow in the footsteps of her idol Laura<br />

Langman.<br />

The 18-year-old wing-attack/centre has set her sights<br />

on making the New Zealand team to contest the World<br />

Youth Netball Championships in Glasgow in August,<br />

2013.<br />

Cable-Dixon says she takes heart from the fact that<br />

Langman captained the triumphant New Zealand U21<br />

side at the 2005 World Youth Championships in Fort<br />

Lauderdale, Florida.<br />

That same year Langman made her international test<br />

debut as a 19-year-old for the Silver Ferns against<br />

England.<br />

‘‘Laura’s inspirational,’’ says Cable-Dixon. ‘‘She’s a<br />

country girl from <strong>Te</strong> Pahu, showing everyone that you<br />

don’t have to be from the ‘big smoke’ to make your mark<br />

as a netballer at the highest level.<br />

‘‘It gives us girls from the country hope that, with a<br />

lot of hard work, we can make it into the national<br />

teams.’’<br />

Cable-Dixon was one of the star members of the<br />

Waikato under-19 team, crowned <strong>2012</strong> champions at the<br />

recent New Zealand Age Grade Championships in<br />

Auckland.<br />

Wintec Waikato accounted for North 36-28 in the final<br />

to secure the national title.<br />

They won a thrilling semifinal encounter against<br />

Auckland 1 33-32.<br />

Waikato’s three standout players, Cable-Dixon,<br />

Tamsin Moala and Allysha Taurima, were all named in<br />

the U19 tournament team.<br />

Cable-Dixon was rested on the first day of the<br />

tournament after rolling her ankle playing for Allied in<br />

the Hamilton premier club competition. She played in all<br />

six remaining games (two each day), including the<br />

semifinal and final, impressing all and sundry.<br />

New Zealand U21 coach, Janine Southby told Cable-<br />

Dixon that she liked what she saw of her at the nationals.<br />

‘‘I couldn’t believe it when I was approached by the<br />

Southern Steel co-coach, saying she wants to see more of<br />

me in action.’’<br />

Southby invited her to participate in the NZU21 trials<br />

at the weekend in North Shore.<br />

She can’t be selected for the NZU21 team to play<br />

Australia in Melbourne next month because she’s too<br />

young, but her chances of selection to go to Glasgow next<br />

year appear bright.<br />

Magic assistant coach, Rebecca Cabel has also invited<br />

the promising <strong>Te</strong> <strong>Awamutu</strong> mid-courter to trial for the<br />

Trust Waikato team she coaches.<br />

College coaches and players that<br />

the last time he had visited, the<br />

school was struggling to field<br />

one team, now there are six up<br />

and running.<br />

‘‘You’ve got some excellent<br />

coaches here all wanting to help<br />

you, make the most of it by<br />

listening to what they’ve got to<br />

say,’’ he told the players.<br />

Foster worked with the backs,<br />

focussing on encouraging them<br />

to become good at the skills that<br />

make moves work — enabling<br />

them to catch and pass under all<br />

sorts of situations.<br />

He covered the likes of<br />

creation and exploitation of<br />

space, vision, handling and<br />

decision making, passing skills,<br />

as well as core skills in team<br />

play, including runner calls.<br />

Gibbes took the forwards,<br />

assisted by Waikato rugby<br />

development officer Alf Daniels.<br />

The pair worked primarily on<br />

impressed’ with the way the<br />

players picked up on everything<br />

so quickly. ‘‘There attitude was<br />

outstanding.’’<br />

Gibbes has been overseas for<br />

end of the NPC. He will then<br />

return to coach Georgia for<br />

‘‘It’s great to be back, I love<br />

one off show and we<br />

are giving you the chance to<br />

win a copy of their latest<br />

album Oceania to help celebrate<br />

brilliant best — it’s a ripper<br />

Quasar, Panopticon, Oceania,<br />

The Celestials, Pinwheels and<br />

unique stage design in New<br />

Zealand created to reflect the<br />

visual themes to go along<br />

with the full presentation of<br />

the new album, as well as<br />
