A free exhibition celebrating 

Waikato Rugby kicks off at 

Waikato Museum this 

weekend. 

‘Red, Yellow, (All) Black: a 

local look at our national game’ 

gives rugby fans and curious 

visitors the chance to 

investigate the region’s rugby 

heritage. 

It coincides with the 90th 

anniversary of the Waikato 

Rugby Union and features 

some interesting memoraiblia 

such as a one-man scrum 

machine, a ball from the 1959 

British & Irish Lions tour and an 

All Black blazer that belonged 

to Ian Clarke. 

It’s a great appetiser to 

Rugby World Cup 2011 and 

even serious rugby fans should 

learn something new.

The Te Awamutu district has lost a second 

church to fire in just a month. 

The Ngahinapouri Church on the corner of 

Kakaramea Road and Ngahinapouri Road was 

well ablaze when crews from Te Awamutu, 

Pirongia, Cambridge and Hamilton arrived 

shortly after 4am on Tuesday morning. 

The fire follows closely behind one (believed 

to be caused by an electrical fault) that 

destroyed the Paterangi Church on June 18. 

TEACHER SADDENED AT LOSS 

Although it was school holidays, 

Ngahinapouri School teacher Margaret Tiddy 

had decided to pop into her classroom early on 

Tuesday morning, around 5.15am. 

She was flying to Christchurch later that day 

and thought the early start was a good 

opportunity to get some work done in peace and 

quiet. 

‘‘At one stage the church was briefly for sale 

and we thought about it as a possible space for 

the school, but the road between the school and 

the church was far too busy to consider it.’’ 

By the time she took her last photo from the 

school grounds directly opposite the church, it 

was shortly after dawn and there were only the 

brick walls standing. 

‘‘I eventually went into my classroom to do 

some work, but it was very hard to concentrate, 

it’s very upsetting to see a church burn down 

and even worse when it’s so close to home. 

‘‘It sounds like it may be suspicious, which 

makes me worry about the school as well.’’ 

RESIDENTS SUSPICIONS RAISED 

Word was quick to spread to other members 

of the local community and it was with disbelief 

that many saw what was left of their church on 

Tuesday morning. 

The Ngahinapouri Presbyterian Church was 

built in 1965. 

It had been receiving some restoration work, 

which was being overseen by St Stephen’s 

Presbyterian Church (Melville), in the hope it 

could be used more regularly. 

In recent times services were held there two 

or three times each year. 

ONGOING INVESTIGATION 

A Police investigation into the fire is 

continuing with the cause of the blaze yet to be 

established. 

Detective Sergeant Daryl Smith of the 

Hamilton CIB says Police are hoping further 

information may come from the public. 

"As part of our enquiries a leaflet drop is 

planned for the local community appealing for 

information on any suspicious activity. 

"The fire will continue to be treated as

YOUR LETTERS 

Working in partnership way forward 

I would like to take time to acknowledge 

the Residents and Ratepayers 

groups in Kihikihi, Pirongia and Ohaupo 

and the huge effort they put into their 

communities. 

The committee members work 

tirelessly on a voluntary basis, are positive 

and have visions of the future and 

how they would like their community to 

move forward. 

They involve their Council representatives 

positively to carry forward their 

requests and projects. 

This is how Waipa District grows, with 

local folk in partnership. 

They use the knowledge of others in 

their community to make good decisions 

to develop their unique characters and be 

socially responsible. 

The draft Community Engagement 

Strategy has been debated in Council, at 

the Te Awamutu Community Board, and 

due to be accepted. 

Despite Council not having such a 

Buses could do the loop 

Currently Waikato Regional 

Council’s ‘Busit’ buses shuttle 

between Hamilton and Te Awamutu, 

Hamilton and Cambridge. 

There is no bus link between Te 

Awamutu and Cambridge. 

I suggest that in the morning 

the first buses set out direct; Te 

Awamutu — Hamilton and Cambridge 

— Hamilton and then 

continue in a circular Hamilton 

— Te Awamutu — Cambridge — 

Hamilton with the other bus 

Hamilton — Cambridge — Te 

Awamutu — Hamilton. One bus 

going clockwise and the other 

anti-clockwise. 

Workers would still get to go 

direct first thing in the mornings 

and last thing in the 

evenings, but a regular bus link 

is established between Te Awamutu 

and Cambridge. 

Retailing will be strengthened 

in both centres as we will 

see more money spent in Waipa. 

In the school holidays I see 

these bus runs being very popular 

with Cambridge young 

people wanting to use the Te 

Awamutu Pool or to go the Te 

Awamutu Cinema. Cambridge 

residents would be able to travel 

to and from the Hospital or the 

Airport on one bus and Te 

Awamutu students would be 

able to go to and from the 

University using ‘Busit’ buses 

the whole way.

Time for Council to 

fix the water supply 

Don’t you think you could 

be making the dam up at 

Pirongia Mountain bigger to 

hold all this water (100mm so 

far this month) that is 

coming down in bucket 

loads? 

This also happened last 

year if you remember. 

It would make sense to 

store it now isntead of 

having water restrictions in 

November. 

This project involves 

everybody in the community, 

not just a few cyclists etc. 

This water problem has 

been going on for years. 

Would it not be better to 

spend money on this instead 

of a velodrome or museum. 

There are now more new 

houses, retirement villages, 

subdivisions being built that 

are all using more of our 

precious water. 

Come on now councillors, 

get your priorities right, that 

water dam was built years 

ago. 

It had coped then, but not 

now with all the new housing 

etc. 

JENNY COTTERELL 

Don’t fall for online or phone scams 

Despite widespread media 

coverage of the problem, vulnerable 

people, particularly 

the elderly, continue to fall 

victim to financial scams with 

one in Hamilton involving a 

six figure sum. 

Over recent months Police 

have taken a dozen calls from 

the public who have received 

unsolicited texts, phone calls 

or emails from people claiming 

they were from a bank or 

Government department. 

Generally the caller says 

the person’s bank has 

overcharged them fees or that 

the Government had overtaxed 

them and that if they 

wire an administrative fee via 

Western Union to an off-shore 

account they will receive a 

considerable refund. 

The Ministry of Consumer 

Affairs has a wealth of 

information on a variety of 

scams and any one concerned 

they may be the victim of one

Recommendations could 

spell end for Playcentres 

TC210711DT01 

UNDER THREAT: King Country Playcentre Association support person Janet Moody (back left), 

Pirongia Playcentre co-president Jody Bower (centre) and King Country Playcentre Association 

chairperson Rachael Shepherd discuss the future of the organisation as children enjoy the Pirongia 

Playcentre sandpit. 

BY DEAN TAYLOR 

A new report commissioned 

for the Ministry of Education 

puts the future of Playcentres at 

risk in preference to ‘professional’ 

early childhood centres. 

King Country Playcentre 

Association support person Janet 

Moody, a professional within the 

Playcentre organisation who 

works with five local Playcentres, 

says the recommendations are a 

real threat to the organisation. 

The Early Childhood 

Taskforce report is now out for 

consultation and Playcentre is 

seeking support in the way of 

feedback to the Ministry. 

Mrs moody says one of the 

main concerns is the recommendation 

that funding is simplified 

into two categories — teacher 

lead and non-teacher lead. 

The focus is on the majority of 

funding going to the teacher lead 

services. 

Mrs Moody says the effect 

would be a 60% reduction in bulk 

grants to Playcentre — in essence 

the end for the organisation. 

King Country Playcentre 

Association chairperson Rachael 

Shepherd says there are 12 well 

supported, successful 

Playcentres in King Country 

area. 

Playcentre children are at 

ACE support 

Playcentres 

ACE Aotearoa is concerned that proposed 

funding cuts to Playcentres pose a threat to 

whānau learning in Aotearoa. 

The umbrella organisation for the Adult and 

Community Education Sector actively promotes 

the concept of families learning together because 

of the huge benefits it brings for families and 

communities. 

ACE Aotearoa co-chair Wendel Richardson 

says when families learn together, everyone 

benefits. 

‘‘There are many examples of how models of 

family learning enhance the wellbeing of families 

and communities. Some studies have shown that 

families benefit financially when parents learn 

alongside their children.’’ 

For over 70 years, Playcentres have led the way 

in providing unique whānau learning opportunities. 

Funding cuts to centres would be a great step 

backwards for both early childhood and community 

education. 

least as well prepared for formal 

education as any other child 

according to reports, yet the 

funding model differentiates 

between the services based on 

qualifications. 

Mrs Shepherd says the organisation 

is recognised as providing 

high quality early childhood education 

and they deserve to be 

treated fairly. 

Mrs Moody says the report 

ignores facts such as Playcentres 

having to be licensed by both 

local councils and the Ministry of 

Education, parents undergo 

NCEA approved and recognised 

Playcentre Early Childhood Diploma 

courses and Playcentres are 

subject to ERO assessments. 

She says in terms of value for 

money, Playcentres are the best 

facilities and it doesn’t make 

sense to try and make savings by 

cutting their grants. 

Mrs Moody says the high level 

of volunteer hours put in by 

parents means Playcentres cost 

about 10 times less per child to 

operate than ‘professional’ 

centres. 

She says the point is that 

Playcentres use basically all their 

money for operation and 

resources. 

Mrs Shepherd adds that, 

especially in rural communities, 

Playcentres are an integral part 

of the social fabric. 

She says many rural communities 

have their hall, school 

and Playcentre — and that is 

where the people of the community 

meet and interact. 

Playcentres also follow the 

Ministry’s ethos of parents as 

first educators and, as the 

pirongia Playcentre parents 

point out, it is a choice they 

should be free to make in terms of 

raining their children. 

Pirongia Playcentre copresident 

Jody Bower says they 

have 67 children on the role from 

37 families and it is a well 

established local facility. 

Playcentre is almost uniquely 

Kiwi and has been operating for 

70 years. 

There are about 500 centres in 

New Zealand, giving parents a 

choice about their children’s 

early education and providing a 

valuable service. 

Playcentre asks anyone concerned 

about the proposed 

funding cuts helps out by

Small grants 

aid education 

‘Max e Grants’ is a small grants programme 

available for disadvantaged children (nominated 

by their school or educational institution) for 

assistance with their educational endeavours. 

This community initiative has been hugely 

successful in Australia, where OfficeMax Australia 

and Barnardos Australia came up with the 

idea in 2007. 

OfficeMax New Zealand has now joined the 

programme and teamed up with some of their 

suppliers to ensure New Zealand children get the 

chance to fully participate in educational experiences. 

Educators can apply on behalf of specific 

children with funds used to assist with school 

books and stationery, uniforms and equipment, 

special tuition or support with excursions. 

‘Max e Grants’ (up to $5,000 each) can be applied 

for online (www.maxegrants.co.nz) with the next 

grant round closing on July 31.

Successful year for restoration society 

Landcare Research’s bird scientist 

John Innes was guest speaker at Pirongia 

Te Aroaro o Kahu Restoration Society’s 

recent annual meeting. 

Inness is one of New Zealand’s leaders 

in restoration ecology. His presentation 

focused on how restoration efforts may 

impact on the interplay of native species. 

Graphically portraying the destruction 

of birdlife, his predation sequences 

highlighted the vulnerability of chicks, 

especially to ship rats, which number 

approximately five or six per hectare all 

over New Zealand. 

Once predators are removed, competition 

between species becomes more 

important. 

It is probable that endemic birds will 

benefit more than recent arrivals. So, 

numbers of tomtits, whiteheads and 

riflemen may flourish on Mt Pirongia 

while silvereyes, fantails and grey 

warblers may decline. 

Such a scenario, though, is a ‘symphony 

no one has written yet’, therefore 

monitoring changes over time is important. 

Society patron, Dr Bruce Clarkson 

could not attend the meeting, but 

indicated that the spill-over benefits of 

the society’s intensive management for 

the entire mountain and the region can be 

expected to be significant. 

In the last 12 months, Pirongia Te 

Aroaro o Kahu Restoration Society has 

maintained momentum with their pest 

control project on Mt Pirongia. 

A pilot area of 250 hectares was 

established in 2006 and the society has 

just completed the fifth extension in as 

many years to take the combined area of 

control to 845 ha. 

The long term goal is to cover 1,000 ha 

so that Kokako can be returned to the 

maunga, and the group is poised to 

achieve this within the next two years. 

The newest addition to the grid, the 

Ruapane extension, takes in another 130 

ha of the forest with major funders being 

Lion Foundation, the Department of Con- 

servation and Pub Charity. 

Monitoring results of pest control 

outcomes continue to be outstanding. 

Starting from a pre-operation high of 

66.70%, rat numbers were reduced to a 

mere 1.1% in December 2010, making it 

the fourth consecutive year of achieving 

less than a 2% residual rat population. 

Other highlights for the year were 

being named Supreme Winner of the 

TrustPower Waipa District Community 

Awards in July 2010, and gaining funding 

from Waikato Regional Council to return 

North Island Robins (Toutouwai) to Mt 

Pirongia. 

The society’s support base enjoyed 

healthy growth and now comprises 78 

members, approximately 80 volunteers 

and 99 sponsors, with 137 ha currently 

sponsored. 

The full annual report is available on 

the society’s website: 

www.mtpirongia.org.nz along with a brochure 

on membership and sponsorship.

International recognition for quilter 

BY WINTEC JOURNALISM 

STUDENT SUE RUSSELL 

Ohaupo resident Pamela 

Groube has had two of her 

patchwork quilts accepted for 

display at a prestigious international 

quilting show at the end 

of October. 

The pieces, called ‘Sonata’ 

and ‘When The Boys Come 

Home’ will be displayed at the 

American Quilting Society’s 

show to be held September 28 – 

October 1 in Des Moines, Iowa. 

Mrs Groube visited the same 

show last year and remembers 

the stunning quality and 

imagination behind the quilts 

she saw. 

‘‘When I got home from that 

trip I decided to join the American 

Quilt Society and give it a 

go, entering a couple of quilts. I 

never expected to have both 

accepted.’’ 

Her first memory of sewing 

goes back to using a treadle 

machine before she was old 

enough to go to school. 

Now, some years and eleven 

grandchildren later, the precision 

and quality of her work 

has been recognised internationally. 

She is particularly interested 

in geometric designs. 

When Mrs Groube submitted 

photos of her two quilts she 

didn’t expect to have even one 

of them accepted. 

‘‘Soon I will be bundling 

them up to send over and 

waiting to hear how they were 

judged in the competition, 

something that is very exciting 

and unexpected.’’ 

‘Sonata’ is a large, beautiful 

quilt in subtle and striking 

shades over a wave pattern. 

It features 48 different fabrics 

with some dedicated to 

Kiwiana designs. 

“People who have seen the 

quilt have said they never 

OHAUPO quilter Pamela Groube holding her quilt ‘When The Boys Come Home’. 

thought the bold white sections 

would work in with the other 

colours, but it’s turned out very 

well.’’ 

The name for the other quilt, 

‘When The Boys Come Home’ 

which features masculine colours, 

was inspired by a song 

from a CD Mrs Groube was 

listening to while making the 

quilt. 

Her home is packed full of 

her inspirational quilts. 

She belongs to both the Waikato 

Patchwork and Quilters 

Guild and the Auckland group. 

The guild often sew quilts to 

auction for charity organisations. 

‘‘It’s a great way to use up 

our spare fabric and turn it into

Ohaupo resident 

first into facility 

TC210711SP07 

WAIKATO Hospital patient Dorothy Flay of Ohaupo is accompanied by (from left) project manager Julie 

Law, attendant Elijah Chiriseri, charge nurse manager Gem Williams and granddaughter Michelle Flay. 

The new $63.5 million Acute 

Services Building at Waikato 

Hospital was opened recently 

and patients are now enjoying 

the modern facilities, which 

include specially designed 

rooms and a greater number of 

single bedrooms with ensuites. 

Patients from the former 

Ward Five, Medical Short Stay 

Unit (both in Menzies Building) 

and Wards 22 and 23 (in the 

Smith Building) began moving 

into the new facility on Tuesday. 

First patient into the Medical 

Short Stay Unit was Dorothy 

Flay (81) of Ohaupo. 

Mrs Flay was transferred 

from the old Medical Short Stay 

Unit. 

She wasn’t too sure what all 

the fuss was about, but was 

happy to play a key part in the 

process. 

The move certainly went to 

plan and she was delivered to 

her new room with views to the 

south of Hamilton. 

Mrs Flay is due for discharge 

soon — so she may well be one of 

the first to the new wards, as 

well as the first to be discharged. 

One of the project managers, 

Chris Baker, felt the move into 

the new building went smoothly. 

“Everyone was pleased to be 

finally in the new area and 

patients seem impressed with 

their new surroundings,” he 

said. 

Staff involved in the construction, 

planning and development 

of the new building celebrated 

with an afternoon tea in The 

Atrium, a central patient 

waiting area, where there was 

the cutting of a white ribbon to 

officially open the new Acute 

Services Building. 

Building programme director, 

Ian Wolstencroft spoke 

about the new medical wards 

being the envy of the surgical 

wards. 

“Congratulations to everyone 

involved and those who will 

make the building work. 

Director of nursing and mid- 

wifery, Sue Hayward talked 

about the day being an amazing 

chance to celebrate the new 

facility. She spoke of the number 

of nurses involved in the design. 

Waikato and Thames 

Hospitals group manager Mark 

Spittal thanked all the staff 

involved. 

Clinical director Dr Graham 

Mills spoke of his vision for the 

new Acute Medical Unit, which 

is the seventh of its kind in New 

Zealand. 

‘‘This new unit will provide 

timely assessment and early 

decision making with unnecessary 

duplication. Junior nurses 

and doctors will work with the 

support of senior staff close at 

hand. 

“Our vision is for a quality 

patient journey — by doing our 

best, preparing for the worst, 

then trusting God to do the rest. 

We will fine tune the model over 

time - this is a place of healing 

for the people of the Waikato and 

we should all be proud of that.’’ 

Cashing in on first birthday 

Copper trails, brass razoos and 

gold sovereigns are all part of the 

Lions Clubs of New Zealand 

unusual campaign which 

celebrates its first birthday this 

month. 

Launched in July last year, 

‘Heads Up for Kids’ is a unique 

project which asks New Zealanders 

to dig out and donate old 

decimal and pre-decimal New Zealand 

currency, as well as all 

foreign money. 

The obsolete cash is then 

redeemed for New Zealand dollars 

and used to fund education programmes 

and scholarships for 

New Zealand youth. 

A number of young people 

have already benefited from 

Heads Up for Kids, receiving 

scholarships to Spirit of Adventure 

and Sir Edmund Hillary 

Outdoor Pursuits Centres. 

Over the course of the year, 

Lions have collected eight and a 

half tonnes of coins and thousands 

of banknotes bringing the 

total raised to $200,000. 

This hefty amount is made up 

of three tonnes of old New Zealand 

coin which has been redeemed for 

face value at the Reserve Bank of 

New Zealand; two tonnes of 

foreign coin shipped off shore and 

exchanged for New Zealand 

dollars, and over three tonnes of 

copper coins sold for scrap metal. 

A number of rare and unusual 

coins also make up the tonnage; 

these are valued and sold on to 

coin collectors. 

“We’re delighted with the success 

of Heads Up for Kids. The 

beauty of this project, in tight 

economic times, is that it isn’t 

taking real money out of anyone’s 

pockets. 

‘‘It’s overwhelming how many 

people have dug out their old NZ 

money and cash from overseas 

trips to help us in supporting New 

Zealand youth, “said Simon 

Hayes, Queenstown Lion and 

campaign chair. 

It’s an excellent way of 

recycling too. 

Alan Boaden, Head of Currency 

at the Reserve Bank of New 

Zealand says old coins returned to 

the Reserve Bank are sold for 

scrap. 

‘‘It is better for the country to 

sell the copper and nickel in old 

coins than have them sitting idle 

in peoples’ homes.’’ 

The Reserve Bank of New 

Zealand has estimated that there 

is $116 million in old NZ coins and 

banknotes still unaccounted for. 

There’s plenty more to be collected 

and Lions Clubs of New 

Zealand aim to collect $1 million. 

Old money and foreign currency 

can be taken to any Resene 

Colorshop or simply call 0800 Old 

Money for a Lions Club member 

to collect it.

Upside to farm flooding 

JENNY TOWERS PHOTO 

MUM Jenny Towers took this photo of her three children having fun in the newly formed lake on their 

Chamberlain Road dairy farm on the weekend. Sick of the rain and being cooped up, Sam, Gemma and 

Katie decided to blow up the boat and make the most of the bad weather. Parents Jenny and Stu are also 

sick of having paddocks under water and are enjoying the current spell of fine weather that is giving the 

chance for their new ‘lake’ to drain. 

Agreement signed to 

preserve waterways 

A new memorandum of agreement 

aimed at helping better 

protect lakes and wetlands in the 

Waikato District was signed 

recently. 

Signatories included representatives 

from the Department 

of Conservation (DoC), Fish & 

Game, Waikato District Council, 

Waikato Regional Council and 

Waikato-Tainui. 

The object of the Waikato 

District Lakes and Wetlands 

MOA is to facilitate more coordinated 

action to improve the 

condition of lakes and wetlands 

in the district. 

The health of the lakes and 

wetlands has been affected by a 

range of activities and factors, 

such as drainage, farming and 

mining, pest fish and exotic 

plants. 

The MOA will enable agencies 

to better identify the places and 

projects that are priorities for 

future work so that they can use 

current resources more 

efficiently and effectively seek 

new resources. 

The MOA was signed by DoC’s 

Waikato conservator Greg Martin, 

Auckland/Waikato Fish & 

Game vice-chairman Colin 

Sherrard, Waikato District 

mayor Allan Sanson, Waikato 

Regional Council chairman Peter 

Buckley and Waikato-Tainui 

chairman Tukoroirangi Morgan. 

Mr Sanson says the agreement 

was an important step. 

“Co-ordinated actions by all of 

the agencies and individuals 

involved will be required to 

improve the condition of lakes 

and wetlands in the district. 

‘‘This agreement will help us 

ensure that.’’ 

On DoC’s role, Mr Martin says 

within the Waikato district there 

is a huge variety of wetland types, 

some of which are of international 

and national significance. 

‘‘Collaboration by agencies 

and the community in their restoration 

and maintenance is vital 

and accordingly I welcome the 

signing of this accord.’’ 

Mr Sherrard says he sees the 

signing of an MOA as an important 

step to restoring the health 

and wellbeing of the Waikato 

lakes and wetlands. 

‘‘As the current state of these 

natural resources is of major 

concern to this organisation and 

our members." 

Regional council chairman 

Peter Buckley says the MOA will 

provide a platform for agencies to 

identify the places and projects 

that are priorities in our region. 

Mr Morgan says he felt the 

MOA is one important step 

towards restoring and protecting 

the health and wellbeing of our 

waterways. 

‘‘Our whakapapa inextricably 

links us to these lakes and 

wetlands, and therefore we have 

an obligation to look after them.’’

IN BUSINESS CIRCLES 

Check out what’s in Jamie’s wardrobe 

BY CATHY ASPLIN 

A few years ago young mum 

Jamie Emery was at home looking 

after children when she was 

invited to an event. 

‘‘It sounded great, but I didn’t 

have anything suitable to wear, I 

didn’t have friends the same size 

and I didn’t have much money to 

buy anything either. 

‘‘I tried looking, but in the end 

there was nothing I could afford, 

so I didn’t go.’’ 

That sad experience was the 

inspiration for her new store 

‘Venus Wardrobe’ in Rogers 

Place. 

She has gathered a collection 

of new and pre-loved garments 

and accessories with something 

for all tastes and budgets. 

‘‘I buy, sell, trade, hire and sellon-behalf. 

People can forget all 

about online hassles. 

‘‘I am quite fussy about the 

standard of clothing I buy — I pick 

out pieces that I think are fashionable, 

well made and are current 

styles. Around 80% of what I stock 

is from the local community. 

‘‘Customers have the choice of 

trading items as well. Trades can 

be up to 50% or a 35% instore 

credit or cash.’’ 

Venus Wardrobe has a great 

range of pre-loved tops, jeans, 

skirts, shirts, trousers and jackets 

in sizes 8-18. New clothing label 

‘Covered by Jody’ is created by 

local designer Jody Magee. 

Accessories include bags, 

belts, jewellery and shoes, so 

essentially a whole outfit can be 

built up for an event or a particular 

purpose. 

‘‘I have a number of items, like 

smart suits, that are ideal for job 

interviews. People often can’t 

afford to spend a huge amount of 

money on clothes for an interview 

when they are looking for work. 

‘‘So this gives them an option 

to look good and feel confident at a 

fraction of the cost of a new outfit. 

I also offer the option of hiring an 

outfit, which is capped at $20.’’ 

Double Bay Villa

‘Bloody important’ 

road safety 

campaign launched 

A 

road safety campaign has been launched in the Waikato 

to cut the number of fatal crashes involving business 

fleet vehicles. 

The ‘Bloody Important’ campaign has been developed to 

help Waikato employers and employees recognise risky driving 

behaviour and take action to improve their safety. 

The campaign covers issues such as fatigue, driver 

distraction, trip planning, speed, vehicle maintenance and 

purchasing. 

The campaign kicked off last month with a company fleet 

manager’s day held at Karapiro’s Don Rowland’s Centre. 

Speakers covered a range of topics aimed at helping 

organisations with large numbers of staff on the road reduce 

their risk of a crash. 

About 30 organisations were represented at the open day, 

with four Waikato car dealers showcasing their five-star rated 

vehicles during the lunch break. 

Waikato Regional Council road safety coordinator Monique 

Haines said crashes are the biggest killer of people at work, 

with an average of 31 deaths recorded annually in New Zealand. 

‘‘That accounts for 29% of all work-related fatalities,’’ Ms 

Haines said. 

‘‘People who drive fleet vehicles as part of their job are 

clocking up more kilometres than other motorists, and surveys 

show ‘at work’ drivers are 30-40% more likely to be involved in 

a crash,’’ Ms Haines said. 

‘‘What’s most alarming is that they are also more likely to 

take life-threatening risks, such as speeding or talking on their 

mobile phone while driving. 

‘‘Our campaign aims to educate employers on their 

responsibilities for the on-road health and safety of their 

employees, and supports the work of other agencies such as 

the Department of Labour, New Zealand Transport Agency 

(NZTA), Accident Compensation Corporation (ACC) and New 

Zealand Police,’’ she said. 

The campaign’s two key audiences are fleet managers of large 

organisations and owner-operators who run vehicles but may not 

be completely aware of the risks and their responsibilities. 

A full set of supporting resources is available on the ‘reduce 

the risk’ website, including vehicle safety ratings and sample 

driver policies. 

The campaign is the work of the Waikato Regional Road Safety 

Education Group, led by Waikato Regional Council in conjunction 

with other regional safety stakeholders including the NZTA, NZ 

Police, ACC and councils.

Diesel Cruze ups the ante 


Last month I test drove 

the Holden Cruze SRi- 

V from Rosetown 

Holden — the new model in 

the line-up featuring the 

European sourced 1.4 litre 

iTi turbocharged petrol 

engine. 

This month was the turn 

of another of the new Cruze 

Series II models, the CDX 

with the optional 2.0 litre, 

16 valve DOHC common rail 

turbo diesel engine. 

The engine is matched 

to a six speed automatic 

with Active Select for ‘manual’ 

mode. 

With this powertrain, 

Holden’s ‘small’ car makes 

120kW of power and 

360Nm of torque — yet 

delivers claimed economy 

of 7l/100km. That is 

impressive. 

With its 60 litre fuel 

tank, the CDX diesel should 

take you over 850km 

between fills. 

I talked last month of 

the Cruze’s improved handling 

package — combining 

a new chassis package 

utilising Watts link rear 

suspension. 

The previous month 

when I outline the new 

range, I spoke about newlook 

Series II Cruze styling 

— reflecting European 

design influences, blended 

with bold Holden signature 

front and rear facia 

treatments and the new 

wheel designs. 

And with its 5-star 

8242748AA 

ANCAP safety rating across the range, 

there is no doubt Holden is serious 

about your safety. 

The result is a brilliant package 

from across the Tasman. 

Inside the cabin the diesel is quiet 

and smooth — delivering its exceptional 

power when necessary without 

fuss, or simply cruising effortlessly in 

any conditions. 

There’s plenty of room and comfort 

in the front — the back is best suited 

to people of the smaller persuasion. 

The CDX features heated front 

seats, leather interior, cruise control, 

parking assist and a premium sound 

system.

Remove RUC 

says MTA 

Government’s current approach to Road User 

Charges (RUC) may be reducing the appeal of 

new diesel cars and removing the present RUC 

system would provide benefits for motorists and New 

Zealand as a whole, says the Motor Trade Association 

(MTA). 

The benefits of moving to a pay at the pump system 

are clear; more motorists would get to enjoy the fuel 

efficiency gains that diesel engines provide, while New 

Zealand, as a whole, would need to consume less fuel 

overall. 

The Transport and Industrial Relations Select 

Committee is currently considering the Road User 

Charges Bill, and MTA hope that they listen to the input 

provided by the automotive industry during the recent 

round of hearings into the future of the RUC system. 

Petrol powered vehicles are currently subject to an 

excise tax system, which is collected ‘at the pump’. 

Compared to the cumbersome RUC system, it is simple 

to administer, motorists have no choice but to comply 

with it, and crucially, it places costs against vehicle 

owners based on the overall efficiency of their vehicle; 

the more fuel you use, the more excise tax you 

contribute. 

The current RUC system for cars and light vehicles 

provides a straight line or flat rate of tax, irrespective of 

the efficiency of the vehicle. So, depending on the 

model, a large capacity, diesel powered SUV pays 

virtually the same in RUC as a small diesel powered 

car, despite consuming diesel at around three times 

the rate. This, in effect, unfairly discriminates against 

the owners and users of small diesel vehicles. 

Each time a diesel vehicle replaces an equivalent 

petrol powered model, it means an overall reduction in 

the amount of fuel that has to be consumed in New 

Zealand; that in turn, translates to lower import costs, 

and fewer carbon emissions. 

Modern diesel engines are generally around 30% 

more fuel efficient than petrol equivalents, but New 

Zealand is failing to provide an environment that fully 

recognises that. In some European countries the 

advantages of diesel have long been recognised and 

sales of diesel powered cars account for more than 

70% of all new cars. In New Zealand, diesel new cars 

sales levels are currently at around 15%. While it would 

take many years to reach those levels, MTA believes 

the move to eliminate the RUC system for light diesel 

vehicles would be a positive and effective first step.

Motoring future has arrived 


A 

trip to Auckland on the weekend produced a 

rare and unexpected surprise — the chance 

to see the future of motoring as seen by 

BMW. 

Thanks to my niece for mentioning the BMW 

VisionED was on show at the Auckland Museum for 

just three days. It was well worth the visit — so 

thanks also to everyone who went to the trouble of 

brining this exceptional car to New zealand. 

The VisionED, shorthand for Vision 

EfficientDynamics, is a hand-built diesel-electric 

plug-in supercar. The German carmaker says it

represents a $2 billion investment in the future of 

personal mobility. 

It is the only one of its kind on the planet and 

was on show at the Auckland Museum after BMW 

flew it in from the Melbourne motor show before it 

heads home to germany. 

VisionED was built in 2008-09 largely from 

carbon-fibre and is the basis for the carmaker’s 

next-generation supercar, the i8, due for launch in 

2013 and expected to cost upwards of $350,000. 

BMW has said that the i8 would remain 99% 

faithful to the VisionED concept. 

VisionED is a plug-in hybrid powered by a 

combination of three-cylinder diesel engine with 

His years of experience ensure 

your vehicle is fully repaired 

back to factory specifi cations 

hybrid drive and an electric motor on the front axle, 

delivering overall power of 241kW and a whopping 

800Nm of torque. 

BMW claims the concept can sprint to 100km/h 

in 4.8 seconds yet record town-and-around fuel 

consumption of 3.76 litres/100km (75mpg), thanks 

to its 1395kg weight and drag coefficient of 0.22. 

The car’s CO2 exhaust emissions rating is 

99g/km. 

It has a claimed fuel range of 700km under 

diesel-electric power but is able to travel 50km on 

its 364-volt lithium-polymer battery pack alone. A 

full charge takes 21/2 hours; a fast charge 44 

minutes.

Racing in UUSA 

a dream come true 

After a huge effort by friends, family 

and supporters back home, Dean 

Brindle finally got to race his new 

Sprintcar against the American, in 

America, last month. 

The team had sent the Kistler Race 

over to Kistler in Ohio for a rebuild before 

arriving and fitting it to the new American 

built racecar. 

Racing started at Skagit in Burlington, 

Washington STate where Dean made it 

through to the A Main then we went over 

800 miles south to Chico 

Racing started at Chico — a night 

event, but with the help of friends for 

whom this was a hometrack, the team was 

well prepared. 

Brindle qualified 26th out of 38 and 

started on grid eight for the heat. A top 

four place was needed to make the A 

Main, Race — Brindle finished sixth. 

He raced in the B Main off grid 13, with 

the top six going into the A Main. 

As brindle was about to take seventh 

spot in a great race, the car he was 

coming around the inside of turned down 

and spun him into the infield with just 

three laps to go. 

Under American rules you don’t get 

your spot back on the restart and have to 

go off the back. Brindle managed to claw 

back a couple of spots, but not enough to 

get into the A Main. 

ENGINE FAILS 

The next meet was also night racing at 

Medford. 

Brindle qualified 19th out of 32 cars 

and finished sixth in the heat, missing out 

on the A Main. 

He then put in a great effort in the B 

Main to get onto the back grid of the A 

Main. 

Everyone was excite and Brindle was 

pumped and ready to go. 

After two laps he had climbed a couple 

of places when the car stopped. 

The cam had broken and that was the 

end of the night, absolute heartbreak for 

the team and frustrating for a team that is 

strict about maintenance and had had the 

engine rebuilt only for it to fail after two 

races.

the engine six 

hours to Skagit to have itt 

repaired. 

Overnight the team aat

fixed the motor and had it 

on the dyno for 

tuning the next afternoonn. 

It was driven to Cottagge

at 9pm. By 9.30pm the teeam 

had fired the 

car in the pits and lined uup 

for the back of

The team were helpeed 

by the Allard 

team, Murphy team, Kaeeding 

team and 

Tarlton team, who desceended 

on the car 

and worked their magic tto 

put the engine 

in and get it all working. 

Brindle finished third in 

the B Main and 

started off grid 21 for the A Main, finishing 

15th — an awesome result 

thanks to an 

awesome effort. 

The final racing was tthe 

Dirt Cup over 

three nights. 

On the first night quallifying 

went well, 

but a broken shock put paaid 

to any serious 

racing. 

On the second night Brindle qualified 

24th and again we started 

off the back of 

the heat race. He managed 

to climb up a 

few spots, but it wasn’t eenough 

to get in 

the main fields. 

He won the C Main annd 

finished ninth 

in the B Main but that didn’t 

advance his 

cause any further. 

At this stage the 

team still had some 

engine issues which 

they were frantically 

trying to sort for the 

last night. 

On the last night 

Brindle finished third 

in the C Main to transfer 

through to the back 

of the B Main. 

He needed to finish 

in the top eight to go 

through to the A Main, 

which is a big ask with

Vintage tractors pull at National Fieldays 

The return of the Waikato Vintage Tractor and Machinery Club to 

National Fieldays 2011 was welcomed by the club and visitors 

alike. 

As well as the static display in the Mystery Creek Heritage 

Village, the tractors made a trek around the Fieldays site twice a day. 

Te Awamutu club member Alan Wallace made the return with his 

1943 Farmhall H which he has owned for 509 years. 

The tractor was made by International Harvester in the United 

States and served as a front end loader on the Wallace farms at 

Bruntwood, then Parawera. 

Mr Wallace says the set-up was quite unique for its day, the 

Farmhall being fitted with a double action hydraulic lift ram front 

end loader, with crowd action hydraulic ram. 

It also has the wide front axle — a rarity for the make. 

The tractor was used primarily for extracting silage from a huge 

pit. 

The Wallaces retired closer to town and the tractor saw more 

action, being used to prepare the new site for building. 

Mr wallace then stripped the tractor to bare metal and rebuilt it 

to better than new condition. 

He even learned some new skills along the way, painting the 

tractor himself.

New options 

for hard to 

read plates 

The NZ Transport Agency (NZTA) is providing a 

new solution for drivers who transport objects 

that obscure their vehicle’s registration plates. 

From this month drivers have the option of 

purchasing an additional ‘supplementary’ registration 

plate — a smaller number plate that can be 

attached to an object that temporarily obscures a 

vehicle’s front or rear registration plate. Transport 

law requires registration plates to be legible and 

unobscured. 

Ian Gordon, the NZTA’s general manager of 

Access and Use says the plates will be useful for a 

wide range of people who regularly transport objects 

ranging from bike racks to dog boxes. 

‘‘Previously a driver has had to remove their 

permanent registration plate, attach it to the object 

that would obscure it, and then return it to its original 

position when they were finished using the object. 

While that option is still available, a supplementary 

plate gives people another, easier option.’’ 

Changes have also been made to the conditions 

for obtaining duplicate registration plates. While 

duplicate plates have been available for personalised 

plates for some time, they are now also available for 

damaged or destroyed ordinary registration plates. 

Mr Gordon said the NZTA has received several 

requests from the transport industry to obtain 

duplicate registration plates. 

‘‘Vehicle registration numbers are often used for 

administration purposes and changing the number 

when damaged plates are replaced has added extra 

costs in updating and maintaining records. Also, 

people often get attached to their registration plate 

number and would prefer to keep it rather than adopt 

a new number.’’ 

When new plates are generated, the NZTA 

requires damaged ordinary registration plates to be 

returned, or suitable evidence they have been 

destroyed.

how to apply for supplementary or duplicate 

registration plates, visit www.nzta.govt.nz

Godzilla still awesome 22 years on 


This car was supposed 

to feature in a ‘My 

pride and joy...’ story, 

but in true care salesman 

fashion owner Justin 

Haworth didn’t want to be in 

the photo and admitted 

‘everything is for sale’. 

The car in question is a 

freshly imported 1989 

Nissan Skyline GTR — the 

Godzilla. 

This Nissan is a genuine 

one owner model with full 

service history. 

Uncommonly it hasn’t 

been modified, apart from a 

stainless exhaust system. 

I had never driven a 

Godzilla — I have two mates 

that own one but I’ve never 

been offered a drive, and 

have never asked. 

Firstly a bit of history. 

This is in fact the third 

generation Skyline GTR. Production 

started in the 60s 

and continued into the 70s. 

Generation two was a failure 

and under 200 cars were 

built. 

In 1989 the model was 

revised as a homologated 

model for racing purposes 

and featured a number of 

impressive features, such as a production 

2.6 litre turbocharged straight 

six making over 200kW, all wheel drive 

and the impressive R32 chassis. 

The Japanese upstart scared the 

hell out of Australian, American and 

European opposition. 

It is hard to express how well this 

22 -year-old car performs, and how 

beautiful it sounds.

accelerating too hard to pass — before 

I had pulled out of my lane. 

The GTR gets up and goes so 

quickly there is a danger of rear ending 

the vehicle in front. I remember a 

motoring writer saying the same about 

the Lotus 7 when it was first released. 

The GTR is also so well balanced — 

wet or dry, straight or corners — it is 

surprising how hard it can go and still 

hang on.

Signs remind us 

to share the road 

New road safety signs reminding 

motorists and cyclists to watch 

out for each other are now a 

feature on rural roads throughout the 

Waipa district. 

The signs remind motorists to put a 

space of at least one and a half metres 

between car and rider when passing 

cyclists. Cyclists are reminded that 

riding single file is safer on rural roads. 

Waipa road safety coordinator 

Megan Jolly said cycling was becoming 

more popular in the district. 

‘‘With the increase of petrol prices 

cycling is becoming an important way of 

getting about as well as being a popular 

sporting activity. We’re also fortunate to 

have an excellent cycling club that 

brings national recognition to Waipa,’’ 

says Ms Jolly. 

‘‘Many competitive cyclists train on 

our roads and it’s important that 

everyone uses the road safely. Otherwise 

the consequences can be devastating, 

Cyclists and motorists needed to 

Waikato Toyota 

learn to share the road.’’ 

As part of the ‘share the road’ 

campaign, car drivers are also asked to 

look out for cyclists before opening car 

doors and to keep cycle lanes clear. 

Cyclists on the other hand are encouraged 

to make eye contact with drivers, 

communicate with hand signals and use 

lights at night. 

Cyclists should only ride a maximum 

of two abreast where there is no risk of 

obstructing traffic. However Council 

road corridor manager Dawn Inglis also 

reminds cyclists about the complexities 

of cycling on rural roads. 

‘‘Rural roads are often narrow, and 

advance visibility is often obscured. In 

these varying conditions, it is always 

safer to ride single file. Both cyclists and 

motorists need to stay alert and watch 

out for each other, and the changing 

environment of the road’’. 

More safety advice for cyclists training 

on rural roads can be found on the 

website www.bikechallenge.co.nz

game away to OTC 

Otorohanga — a side 

that can sew up a home 

semi-final in Waikato 

premier rugby with 

maximum points from 

this game. 

Te Awamutu Sports 

will need to lift their 

intensity considerably 

to cause an upset at the 

Island Reserve in Otorohanga. 

Despite fielding one 

of their strongest teams 

for some time, the local 

side were well below 

their best going down 

32-17 to Morrinsville 

Sports at Albert Park on 

Saturday. 

Otorohanga, in contrast, 

thrashed Te Rapa 

51-3 on their home patch 

to overtake Fraser Tech 

in second place. 

Peter Bain reports 

that Morrinsville made 

the most of their opportunities 

to take a 17-3 

lead with backs Ben 

Titoko and Vesi 

Rauluni scoring tries. 

Leon Emery kicked a 

penalty for Te Awamutu, 

who then fought 

back with the first of 

two tries to halfback 

Kirtis McNaughten, 

who burrowed under 

the defence to score 

beside the post for 

Emery to convert. 

Morrinsville 

increased their lead to 

27-10 early in the second 

half with a try to No. 8

enjoyed their best passage 

of play midway 

through the half, keeping 

the ball in close and 

creating numerous 

phases close to the line. 

McNaughten caught 

the defence napping on 

a break down the 

blindside, leading to his 

second try. Emery 

converted to close the 

scoreline to 27-17 with 

10 minutes remaining. 

Te Awamutu stepped 

up the pace, sensing a 

chance of victory. 

Inoke Tuibua broke 

clear down the left 

wing, only to be stopped 

by a desperate tackle 

from the last defender. 

The ball was cruelly 

turned over and Morrinsville 

went the 

length of the field to 

score through 

Tremayne, who ended 

the game with a personal 

haul of 17 points. 

For Te Awamutu, 

player of the day 

McNaughten produced 

a tireless display, 

featuring many breaks 

around the mauls. 


Ohaupo win local derby 

First five Mike Monahan was 

the toast of the Ohaupo rugby 

team after kicking them to a 15-3 

victory over Te Awamutu 

Marist. 

The Ohaupo sharp shooter 

landed five penalties for the 

Waikato second division competition 

leaders who avenged a 

19-14 first round loss to third 

placed Marist. 

The game featured very few 

scrums but a high number of 

penalties were awarded by referee 

Murray Rumbles. 

Backed by a large, parochial 

home crowd, the Ohaupo forward 

pack enjoyed the physical 

battle against their 

counterparts. 

The two packs were hard to 

separate in the early exchanges. 

Ohaupo’s fitness showed in 

the second half when managing 

to hold onto the ball for longer 

periods and turn over Marist 

possession on a regular basis. 

Open side flanker Zane Seddon 

was key in this area, especially 

in the later stages of the 

match when Ohaupo spent a 

significant amount of time 

staunchly defending their goal 

line. 

The visitors were held up 

several times on the try line after 

some strong runs from No. 8 

Mark Kahura and hooker Ziggy 

Riri. 

Although unable to collect 

any five-pointers, both backlines 

ran the ball with freedom. 

The Murray Gane Plumbing 

sponsored Marist team were 

right in the game at halftime, 

trailing 6-3 after first five Scott 

Sands converted a penalty. 

Marist were penalised from 

the restart and again five 

minutes later to take the score 

out to 12-3. 

Monahan slotted another penalty 

with 60 minutes up on the 

clock to complete the scoring. 

Marist had kickable penalty

Frankton do Pirongia no favours 

A shock Kereone win over Frankton in 

Waikato division one rugby has heaped 

pressure on Pirongia in their final game 

against Putaruru. 

Coming off a win against Kereone and a 

draw midweek against third from bottom 

Leamington — Pirongia could have been 

forgiven for thinking they would need only 

a point from their last game against 

Putaruru this Saturday to prevent being 

involved in a promotion-relegation game. 

That was until news came through 

Saturday night that — in a performance if 

it were a match involving a certain 

cricketing nation, would of raised match 

fixing suspicions — wooden spoon contenders 

Kereone had beaten mid-table 

Frankton 46-0, securing a bonus point and 

moving one point ahead of Pirongia in the 

standings with one match to play. 

Pirongia will now be desperate to 

salvage some points away to Putaruru on 

Saturday, while hoping Kereone goes pointless 

at home to Leamington. 

In a catch up game for matches 

8245324AA 

postponed earlier as a result of bad 

weather, Pirongia drew 8-all with 

Leamington in conditions, described by 

Mark Evans, as probably worse than when 

the game was first postponed. 

Pirongia took the early lead when 

captain Lee Bennett was driven over from a 

lineout. 

Leamington replied in kind, equalling 

the scores with a try from a forward drive 

close to the line. 

Penalties were then traded for an 8-all 

halftime scoreline. 

Both teams toiled unsuccessfully to 

break the deadlock in the second half. 

Pirongia missed two kickable penalties 

and then, with the clock winding down, last 

week’s hero halfback Greg Gane failed to 

grasp the ball with the line wide open. He, 

otherwise, had an outstanding game. 

Not surprisingly, given the conditions, 

the standout players on the night were all 

forwards, front rowers Lee Bennett, Ben 

Coutts, Chris Reymer and JP Louw. 

Pirongia may have wished for similar

conditions on Saturday when travelling to 

Tokoroa to play Southern United. 

In a much improved performance from 

their meeting earlier in the season, 

Pirongia took the game to their higher 

rated opponents. But the speed of the 

Southern United outside backs proved the 

difference between the two teams. 

The Pirongia midfield defence was 

strong, with second five Wiremu Jarret 

being the day’s standout player. His efforts 

were rewarded with Pirongia’s first try in 

response to United’s earlier try. 

United scored three further tries to lead 

24-10 at halftime. 

The second half was a similar story — 

United scoring 22 points to another 

Pirongia try, conversion and penalty to 

take the game 46-20. 

Pirongia’s Derek Everaats was 

rewarded for consistent efforts all season 

by getting the Pirongia touchdown. 

JP Louw had another strong performance 

up front until forced off with flu 

symptoms. 

Unicol sink 

TA soccer 

title hopes 

Te Awamutu’s impressive run of form in 

division two of the Waikato Bay of Plenty 

Federation Soccer League was halted big time by 

Unicol. 

David Hall reports that the 5-2 loss at Te 

Awamutu Stadium ended any thoughts the local 

side had of winning the league. 

Hall says Te Awamutu must now keep positive 

and look to consolidate their position in the top 

four. 

David Ireland scored one of Te Awamutu’s goals 

from a free kick, while Gareth Stone scored the 

second of the day and his first for the team this 

season. 

The side now have a week off before hosting 

Katikati at the Stadium on July 30, 2.45pm kickoff. 

The men’s reserve side hosted Unicol at Anchor 

Park and couldn’t recapture the good form of late, 

losing 4-0. 

Next week they are home to Claudelands 

Rovers. 

The women’s division C team travelled away to 

Mangakino on Sunday. 

In what turned out to be a tricky tie, Te 

Awamutu came away with a point from a 1-1 draw. 

Rangiputa Wallace scored Te Awamutu’s goal, 

with Tarnya Frew taking out player of the day. The 

team’s next match is not until July 31 at home to 

West Hamilton. 

The women’s A team had a bye and host 

Cambridge on Sunday, 11am at the Stadium. 

There were no junior matches last weekend. 

Downie first 

round leader 

Bryan Downie holds a three shot lead after the 

first round of the strokeplay championships at 

Stewart Alexander Golf Club. 

Peter Way reports that Downie showed good 

touch to shoot 72 in wet underfoot conditions. His 

nearest rival in the men’s senior division is 

Shayne Ashford on 75. 

Grant Easton also has a three shot cushion in 

the intermediate division, having shot 78 to head 

off George Cox and Neal Johnston both on 81. 

In the junior section, Joe Tapu leads with 85 

followed by Link Quarrie, Brian Clarke and Ken 

Heke all on 89. 

Nick Heffer’s 90 sees him heading off Richard 

McCandlish on 95 in the Junior B’s. 

The strokeplay championships will be decided 

over the best three out of four rounds. 

Nick Heffer headed off a large field with 63 net 

in Sunday’s scramble sponsored by Stewart & 

Cavalier, followed by Grant Easton on 64, Joe 

Tapu, Brian Baynes 66, Neal Johnston, George 

Strickland, Ray Dearing, Link Quarrie 67, Phil 

Gibbes, George Cox 68 and Phil Blundell 69. 

Bryan Downie took out the gross with his 72. 

Roger Neal and Phil Gibbes were popular with 

their team mates after striking the NEC jackpot. 

Golf story of the day involved Neal Johnston 

who holed out with his third shot into the par five, 

17th hole. The only problem was it was the wrong 

hole. Not to be denied, Neal uplifted his ball and 

then sunk a 12m putt for his birdie. 

Interest is growing in the two monthly ‘Stewart 

100’ set down for Sunday, July 31, and the interclub 

fixture with Te Awamutu at their course on 

August 7. 

Kahika shoots 

78 off stick 

Weekend players at ASB Te Awamutu Golf 

Club enjoyed vastly improved weather conditions 

after rain had disrupted midweek competitions. 

Stacey Kahika returned the best gross round on 

men’s club day (Sunday), shooting a seven-overpar 

78. 

John Tart took out the net with 68, while Vance 

Dempsey won the stableford with 39, from Shaun 

Dempsey on 37, and Robert Wetere, Murray Green 

36. 

Twos were scored by Derek Hill, John Tart and 

Mathew Schofield. 

Deidre Lim was the best of the Saturday women 

with 36 stableford, Julie Stevanon 35 and Sylvia 

Gooch 34. 

Unpleasant weather necessitated a revised ‘allin’ 

open midweek tournament stableford competition 

won by Ted Cooper with 36 points, from Peter 

Hogg on 34. 

Sylvia Gooch returned the only two. 

Both women’s club day (Wednesday) and the 

veteran men’s scramble (Thursday) were rained 

off.

COGS in running to make 

premier netball playoffs 

BY COLIN THORSEN 

After a slow start to the season 

defending Te Awamutu premier 

netball champions COGS I are a 

chance to make the semi-finals on 

August 14. 

Only two points separate the 

top five teams with two rounds 

remaining before the playoffs. 

RSN Henry Morgan Builders 

and Bailey Ingham are joint 

leaders on 12 points, followed by 

Royalands, last year’s beaten 

finalists Kawau Tigers and COGS 

Ion10points. 

The bottom three teams are Te 

Awamutu College Premiers and 

Shilorua on three points and 

winless Te Awamutu College 

Senior A. 

COGS will fancy their chances 

of making the playoffs. Their two 

remaining games are both against 

teams in the bottom three, 

Shilorua on July 28 and College 

Premiers on August 4. 

They will have to be wary of 

College Premiers, a side that will 

be heartened by their recent upset 

win over Royalands. 

The bottleneck at the top of the 

table looks set to continue after 

the next round of games on July 

28, despite four of the top teams 

playing each other — RSN v 

Bailey Ingham, and Kawau Tigers 

v Royalands. 

In the latest rounds of games at 

ASB Bank Stadium at Te Awamutu 

Events Centre, Kawau 

Tigers served notice of their title 

winning intentions thrashing 

Bailey Ingham 52-31, RSN dealt to 

Royalands 51-39 and COGS I 

accounted for College Senior A 

53-23. 

The game between College 

Premiers and Shilorua was 

deferred until tonight.

STANDOUT Te Awamutu blindside flanker Zekyl Aperehama on one of his characteristic rampaging 

runs against Hamilton North at Cambridge on Monday. 

BY COLIN THORSEN 

Te Awamutu’s Gwynne 

Shield rugby team recorded a 

hard earned 29-5 win over Cambridge 

to remain unbeaten after 

three games. 

Team manager, Nigel 

Atkinson reports that it was a 

tough game for the boys on 

Tuesday taking on the host team 

in a repeat of last year’s final, 

won by Te Awamutu. 

Cambridge were the dominant 

force early on with their 

forwards winning and turning 

over ball at the ruck. 

Te Awamutu struggled to get 

into their stride for the first 20 

minutes until a wild pass was 

swooped up by player of the day 

Josh Moorby, who raced 60 

metres to score. 

Cambridge again threw 

everything they had at Te Awamutu. 

Both sides exchanged decisive 

moves, only to be cut down 

with excellent defence. 

Cambridge used their 

forwards to gain momentum 10 

metres out from the Te Awamutu 

line, scoring an

After some stern words from 

the coaches at halftime, 

defending champions Te Awamutu 

came out firing to put No. 8 

and captain Conner Loomans 

over in the corner. A well struck 

conversion from Moorby 

increased the lead to 12-5. 

Te Awamutu were on a role 

and started to dominate out 

wide, putting left winger Jarvis 

Rapana over for a well deserved 

try to lead 17-5. 

Moorby was again the play 

maker, keeping Cambridge 

pinned in their own half. 

The Cambridge players 

started dropping their heads, 

allowing Te Awamutu to take a 

vice-like grip on the game. 

Another slick backline move, 

spearheaded by Moorby, led to 

fullback Josh Coffin scoring. 

Moorby added the conversion, 

taking the score to 24-5 and the 

game out of reach of Cambridge 

with the clock winding down.

‘‘They’re growing as a team

Alice Cooper playing Auckland 

Alice Cooper plays Auckland’s 

Trusts Stadium on Thursday, September 

22 with support from Head 

Like A Hole and to celebrate we 

have the CD The Definitive Alice 

Cooper for you to win. 

The audacious, precedent 

shattering, inspirational, taboodefiling, 

hoodlum flamboyance of 

Alice Cooper did more than forever 

alter the face of rock and roll 

as we know it. 

He virtually invented rock as 

theatre, created new fashion 

trends, sparked a new sexual 

revolution, established higher 

standards for teenage decadence 

and found time on top of all this to 

write and record a library of 

classic rock and roll albums. 

Songs such as I’m Eighteen, 

Desperado, Halo of Flies, No More 

Mr. Nice Guy, Billion Dollar 

Babies, Only Women Bleed, Welcome 

To My Nightmare and of 

course the anthemic School’s Out 

— Coopers signature song. 

They’re all here and more — 21 

stellar tracks as only the foremost 

creator of Shock Rock can perform 

them — in your face! 

Pick up a copy — it’s the ideal 

precursor for what is shaping to 

be one butt-kickin’ night! 

Support act Head Like A Hole 

have just released their latest 

album, the aptly named Blood 

Will Out. 

It features the singles Swagger 

Of Thieves and Glory Glory 

(Hallelujah) among its 11 tracks of 

classic stonking rock’n’ roll. 

It’s ripping guitars, pounding 

drums, brutal bass and Booga’s 

African Cats 

An epic true story set against the backdrop of 

one of the wildest places on Earth, African Cats 

captures the reallife love, humour and determina-
