BRIEFLY Cowpat Bingo now in June Cowpat Bingo has been moved this year to tie in with Fieldays. It will be held on Tuesday, June 10 from 1pm at Selwyn Park. The annual event, which raises funds for Te Awamutu Christmas Committee, sees ticket holders hoping the cow will choose their numbered square to do a cowpat on. It is normally held in December. This year’s major prize is $500 of travel, generously sponsored by Te Awamutu Flight Centre. Tickets are available at Te Awamutu Information Centre in Gorst Avenue and only 400 will be sold.

There is no doubting the pulling power of the Finn brothers — their charity Finn Brothers Play Gracelands concert sold out in 75 minutes on Friday morning. ‘Four Seasons in One Day’ is the title of one of the songs co-written by the brothers - and it was actually more than 400 tickets sold on Friday (the Gracelands charity concert is configured for almost 500 seats). Backstage Pass promoters Dean and Robyn Taylor say the sales exceeded expectations. ‘We were was hoping to sell out in a day,’’ says Mr Taylor. ‘‘Selling out in a little over an hour was very exciting.’’ Gracelands will benefit entirely from the proceeds of the concert — a major boost for their fundraising effort for a new service centre in Teasdale Street.
Wagon Trust’s new Ford Transit has arrived at Fairview Motors. Tomorrow it will be sent to Vehicle Adaption Services at Matangi to have the hoist and straps fitted. The new Wheelchair Wagon will provide an extra level of comfort for its wheelchair bound passengers. It has more space all round, making it easier to fit a fifth wheelchair into, and provides better front and side vision through larger windows. The sliding doors on each side will facilitate better loading and unloading for passengers. Fundraising is ongoing and donations can be sent to secretary-treasurer Eileen Murray at 216 Bridgman Road, Te Awamutu or phone her at 870 3136 for more details.

She says it was very easy to use and would be worth considering for future events for the town. Mrs Fenwick says it was exciting to have such a demand. The first buyer started the queue at about 7.50am and by opening time at 9am there was a reasonable line. That didn’t let up until about 10am and the last three or four customers in line unfortunately missed out. Fans were still coming into the office throughout the day and leaving disappointed. The Te Awamutu office put through 214 tickets, taking over $22,000. TicketDirect acknowledged the partnership selling was a success for them also and were pleased to be involved in such a successful promotion.

Neil and Tim are playing for free and providing some production staff. Te Awamutu College has donated the use of the hall, Scott Sound and Lighting is providing the PA and operating the sounds and Rosetown Print and Te Awamutu Courier provided publicity and posters. Backstage Pass worked with TicketDirect to ticket the show and are very pleased with the system and their help to bring sales to Te Awamutu. TicketDirect worked alongside Te Awamutu Visitor i-SITE Centre to set up a real time on-line sales system and the staff and volunteers ran the sales as a donation to the fundraiser. i-SITE manager Lynne Fenwick says the centre was pleased to be able to contribute and to try the TicketDirect system.
When Marayke Bouma was born at Makiungu Hospital in Tanzania the power went out. This normally wouldn’t have been a problem, but the back up generator had been stolen, so Marayke was born by torch light. Her Kiwi parents Monique and David Bouma were in Tanzania at the time working for the British charity ‘Health Projects Aboard’. ‘‘Tanzania is rated as the third poorest country in the world and we were employed to help in rural areas - assisting the villagers to develop schools, wells, healthcare or whatever they required.’’ When Marayke’s grandmothers heard about the circumstances in which she was born they decided to fundraise enough to buy a generator for the hospital. Mrs Bouma says the Te Awamutu community was very supportive and they managed to raise the $1800 required, much to the delight of the hospital staff. ‘‘The power supply is certainly better there now, but they still use that generator that Te Awamutu people helped buy.’’ The Bouma family
returned to New Zealand when Marayke was six months old, but she is well aware of where she was born and the vast difference in her lifestyle to that of other children born in Tanzania. To celebrate turning 10, Marayke and her family are again helping raise funds for the Makiungu hospital in rural Singida, Tanzania. Mrs Bouma says they are recognising the fact that Marayke has had a comfortable life with access to good levels of healthcare and schooling, fresh food and water etc. ‘‘That’s certainly not the case in Tanzania, so we decided to see if there was something else we could do for the hospital where Marayke was born. ‘‘We had thought of buying a foetal heartrate monitor, as there wasn’t one when Marayke was born, but they do have one now, so they suggested an oxygen concentrator for newborns instead.’’ Marayke and her family have been selling organic kiwifruit from their Ngahinapouri farm to friends, relatives, school families etc. Marayke has been selling it after school from the nearby park and the Bouma

Perhaps we may be able to undertake a fam-
ily project there as well.’’ Mrs Bouma says once again the local community has been very supportive of their fundraising project. ‘‘So far we have raised around $1000 which is about half of what is required. ‘‘We’re got a few other ideas as well, such as a

Kihikihi crossing life threatening There is a P-epidemic in Kihikihi and I’m not talking about the drug either. I am referring the the P-edestrian crossing in Kihikihi main street. Have you tried to cross the main street of Kihikihi lately? I have observed mothers with pushchairs waiting to cross the street on the pedestrian crossing as cars barrel past
at well over 50kph and when they do manage to get a break in the traffic, it almost leads to a string of nose-to-tail accidents. Why you ask? Because drivers do not travel through Kihikihi at 50kph. They choose to treat it as an open road and travel at 80 to 100kph. If the police were to spend a week

Taranaki-King Country MP, Shane Ardern says he receives many complaints from farmers, businessmen, and families from all around the electorate about how slow their Internet connections are, or in some cases the fact that they cannot get any connection. ‘‘Many people say that, even though they live close to a telephone exchange, they just cant get decent broadband speeds. This makes using the Internet slow and tedious, and they cant do many of the things they want to do. I personally know the problems, living on a farm in Te Kiri.’’ Mr Ardern says New Zealand has fallen way behind its global competitors when it comes to broadband. ‘‘We’ve delayed the big decisions and put investment off for too long.’’ John Key has announced that a National Government will invest up to $1.5 billion to drive the roll-out of a fibre to the home ultra-fast broadband network in New Zealand. ‘‘This investment will help deliver the economic step change that New Zealand needs to significantly lift average incomes over time,’’ Mr Ardern says. ‘‘It will truly future-proof New Zealand. Fibre to the home will deliver huge economic benefits for
monitoring Kihikihi main street they would have to bring at least two ticket books and a spare pen.

DOUGAL STEVENSON
our country, in terms of enhanced productivity, improved global connectivity, and enhanced capacity for innovation ‘‘National’s medium to long-term vision is for a fibre connection to almost every home, supported by satellite and mobile solutions where it makes sense. ‘‘Our initial goal is to ensure the accelerated roll out of fibre right to the home of 75% of New Zealanders. In the first six years, priority will be given to business premises, schools, health facilities, and the first tranche of homes. ‘‘We also want to significantly enhance broadband access and speeds for household and premises where fibre to the home is not immediately feasible. We will accelerate high speed broadband roll-out to rural and remote areas, with the first step being to double the Broadband Challenge Fund to $48m and refocus it on rural and remote areas. ‘‘This is an area that has been ignored for far too long, particularly in our rural sector, the sector that leads New Zealand’s economy. Broadband access will play an important role in our growth and in our ability to compete in international markets.’’
Keeping Rosetown beautiful is easier said then done when the local rubbish collection never seems to be done on time. It is disgusting to find that the rubbish we put out in the morning is still sitting there that night and even the following morning. In fact some of the time it isn’t even in one piece as stray dogs come and rip it up at night. It’s not a pretty sight and I’d hate to think what motorists think when they pass through our town. Something needs to be done as its just a disgrace to see the mess in our town. NIKITA BROWN

Pirongia School principal relishing role BY GRANT JOHNSTON Jan Cullen is one of those remarkable people who would probably still turn up to do her job whether she was paid or not - she just loves it. She is into her second term as principal at Pirongia School and is relishing the role. Mrs Cullen and her husband Ray moved to Pirongia in 1974 and bought their first farm on Mangauika Road two years later. They still live on Mangauika Road - in a new house across the road from their former farm. She served her first year teaching at Te Awamutu Primary and the following year began an association with Pirongia School. She took time off to help with the dairy farm, raspberries and kiwifruit and raise the couple’s three children, but returned to teaching at Pirongia in 1991, initially as a reliever. Mrs Cullen filled a variety of teaching roles including specials needs, Reading Recovery and class teacher from 1995-1999, when she added the responsibilities of deputy principal to her ongoing role as classroom teacher in the senior school. She was deputy principal until 2005, after which she took leave to accept a position that had been offered to her as Primary Schools’ numeracy adviser with School Support Services. The role offered enjoyable fresh challenges and Mrs Cullen resigned from Pirongia School to carry on with the advisory in 2007. When Pirongia School principal Kevin Cronin won a new position at Huapai late last year, Mrs Cullen applied for the role. Her successful candidacy was greeted with collective joy in Pirongia. Mrs Cullen had won a well deserved reputation as an outstanding teacher and leader - she is known for her thorough knowledge and understanding of the curriculum and of pupils’ learning and development needs, and for her positivity. For her part, she says she is ‘‘loving being back as principal’’ enjoying the new challenges the position brings. ‘‘Pirongia School is blessed with great students, great parents and great staff. I feel very fortunate to be here.’’ Mrs Cullen says along with the mountain, many things make Pirongia special - the farmland, trees, the Waipa River and streams and the area’s rich history. ‘‘It has been a great area to farm in and to bring up our family. There are so many organisations, and activities in the village because the people who live here make things happen. ‘‘The community have always supported the school strongly. They really value education and as a staff we appreciate their involvement and commitment to the school. It is a well resourced school due to the work of past principals, PTAs and Boards of Trustees.’’

JAN CULLEN is rapt to be back at Pirongia School - ‘‘an extremely rewarding place for staff’’.
Maori King visiting Waikato University during Waka Week King Tuheitia will spend Thursday morning as a guest of the University of Waikato, taking part in Waka Week. Waka Week 2008 celebrates Kingitanga, in recognition of 150 years of the movement. University of Waikato Library will showcase resources pertaining to Kingitanga, culminating in a morning of presentations about the origins, history, and future of the movement.
The Maori King will be welcomed with a powhiri at the library. The university has also organised a private tour of the library’s New Zealand Collection and Mahi Mareikura Room for King Tuheitiae. The tour will highlight some special items of interest to Tainui such as the official apology from the Crown regarding the Waikato Raupatu settlement in 1995. King Tuheitia’s mother, the late Te Arikinui
Dame Te Atairangikaahu, was the patron and caretaker of the works of Pei Te Huirnui Jones which is housed in the Mahi Mareikura Room in the university library. There will be oral presentations from Tame Pokaia from the office of Kingi Tuheitia; Rahui Papa, manager of the 150th Celebrations Committee; and Tom Roa from the university’s School of Maori and Pacific Development.

Waikato women Kay Gregory (formerly of Te Awamutu) and Annah Stretton have been made honorary members of a distinguished international honour society. Golden Key Waikato Chapter president Chloe Boerema said the Golden Key was the largest honour society in the world. It acknowledged academic excellence and invited the top 15% of students at universities to become members. About 200 people are inducted into the Waikato chapter each year. The university hosted an induction ceremony last week, in which Waikato fashion designer Annah Stretton, former television presenter and current Hamilton City councillor Kay Gregory, and former university Alumni Director Jill Rodgers were also presented with honorary memberships. Golden Key began in America in 1977 and now has more than 360 chapters around the world. However its low

Insurance fraud increase concerning police Police are concerned at the number of people who are seemingly willing to risk prosecution by making false insurance claims. A 42-year-old woman appeared in the Hamilton District Court on a charge of making a false state-
ment. Found guilty, she was ordered to pay $640 reparations. Sergeant Kent Holdsworth of the Hamilton Law Enforcement Team said the charge related to the woman claiming her vehicle had been stolen in February, when it turned out a relative had
crashed it. Mr Holdsworth said people making such claims often had no idea just how many resources they were tying up. ‘‘Then there is the inherent cost it has on all of us with higher costs of insurance policies.’’

Villa creates interest

TC200508DT01
The villa built in Te Rahu Road by Te Awamutu Courier founder A.G. Warburton has been creating a bit of interest while being marketed by First National. The family homestead has been kept in relatively original condition. Interest in the tender for the villa closed yesterday. It is believed to be about the same age as the newspaper — approaching 100 — so Mr Warburton Snr must have been quite busy at the time. Originally the Waipa Post, the Te Awamutu Courier stayed in private ownership for about 80
years before becoming part of the Wilson and Horton Group, then APN. Until last month on the retirement of John Warburton, the founding family was continuously involved in the business. A.G.’s son George was company manager following his father, then John. A fourth generation was briefly represented when commercial printing was part of the operation. When a new road was built off Te Rahu Road it was named Warburton Crescent after the family, and the villa’s entrance and address was also changed.
141TC-6222498AA
WARBURTON villa on Warburton Crescent is about as old as the Te Awamutu Courier.

Outing the gambling monster The hidden problem of gambling harm is gradually being hauled out into the open and exposed to the disinfectant of public scrutiny. Recent research shows most New Zealanders believe gambling is an issue that needs to be addressed so it is timely for each community to take stock of gambling harm occurring locally. New Zealanders lost over $2 billion on gambling last year. Just under half of this ($1.3 billion) was on pokie machines. In the year to April $9,115,059 was lost on pokies in the Waipa District Council area, or $214 for every resident. The survey showed 81% of
adults had not touched a pokie machine in the last year, 5% once a month and only 3% had used them once a week or more. The 3-5% of regular users are either problem gamblers or at risk of becoming so. They also contribute most of the losses. The Problem Gambling Foundation says pokie machines are responsible for around 90% of problem gambling. The Foundation says pokies are designed to put gamblers into a trance which impairs their ability to make good decisions, including when to stop and how much they can afford to lose. Research has shown that gambling harm is a normal outcome
for people who gamble on the pokies regularly. The machines are placed disproportionately in low income areas which results in low income families bearing the immediate brunt of harm they do. While the community as a whole may appear to benefit from funding grants from pokie trusts, it is the poor that are putting up the money. The Problem Gambling Foundation says it is not all bad news. Treatment does work and if people seek help they can get their lives back on track. They urge anyone with problems to contact them on 0800 NO GAMBLE (0800 664 262).

SunSmart funds, awareness raised The inaugural Dulux SLIP SLOP SLAP campaign held this summer with the Cancer Society of New Zealand raised $85,863 towards promoting awareness and SunSmart behaviour of skin cancer in outdoor workers. During December 2007 and January and February this
year, Dulux donated money from all sales of exterior paint, Dulux Weathershield, to the Cancer Society plus provided sun protection giveaways and information to customers and staff. Thanks to trade customers and DIYers buying 1.2 million litres of paint, the campaign
raised $85,683 and Dulux distributed nearly 2000 litres of free sunscreen. The money will go back to helping the same trade customers via an outdoor workers programme being launched by the Cancer Society later this year. The programmes main aim will be
to increase sun safe awareness and action among painters, builders, road crews, gardeners and other outside workers because they have (especially those with fair skin) a higher than average risk of non melanoma skin cancers because of cumulative exposure to UVR.

Plant powers towards sky Chris Groenestein is 1.94 metres (6’4’’) tall, but her’s dwarfed by the tree dahlia in the backyard of his Laurie Street property. The dahlia (Dahlia Imperialus, from Central America) is 5.4 metres in height. And the dry weather this autumn means it has not reached the heights it hit a few years ago when it topped 8 metres. The dahlia obviously thrives in its sheltered position alongside a ‘tree house’ and is currently boasting a colourful display of mauve blooms. each winter it dies right down to the ground before bursting into life again in spring. The dahlia regenerates on its large cane stems which made the plant favoured by the Aztecs who used the canes as water pipes.
Te Awamutu’s Cliff Tait Air Scouts were among Scouts from all over the Waikato who took up the challenge of a two-day adventure camp in Pio Pio recently. Daniel Dick, a Venturer Scout from Ngahinapouri and media representative for Waikato Scouting, reports that a large campground hosting homes for 150 Scouts and 50 leaders was set up on Dawsons’ farm — base for the weekend’s activities. At various locations around the farm different bases were set up, each running a particular activity. These included caving, abseiling, motor biking and shooting. During the course of the two days the Scouts were split into groups and rotated around the bases, being pushed to their limits in the twohour session. Many who participated in the camp had never tried any of the activities and each was a new experience. They

They learnt how to abseil, grass ski and cave. And they learnt how to cope with the rough ride of the 4-wheel drives and the extreme heights and speeds of the flying fox. ‘ ‘ A s w it h ev ery previous Pio Pio camp, there was mud,’’ Daniel says. ‘‘No one could avoid all contact with mud over the weekend, and were bound to get completely coated at one or more of the many wet
and wild bases. ‘‘At the end of the weekend everyone left satisfied that they had had gained many new skills and tried many new things. The Pio Pio adventure camp is like no other: it has been running for 30 years and over those 30 years it has been praised by all Scouts and leaders who have attended. ‘‘The camp helps people who are unsure about their abilities gain self-confidence, in a weekend that will be remembered for a lifetime.’’

The cold of winter is here, and the heating appliances have no doubt been dug out of the basement or spare room and plugged in or fired up. Wood has been collected and stored, and the fire has probably been lit once or twice - the evenings and early mornings have been pretty chilly a couple of times already. However, it’s not simply a case of starting up where things left off at the end of last winter. Winter is the most dangerous time of the year for fires in the home, not least because many people don’t take fire safety issues as seriously as they should. Winter’s onset means an increase in the use of heating appliances, solid fuel and gas burning fires and electric blankets. The colder weather means fires will be used extensively over the next few months - and with their use, there is an increased the likelihood of fires in the home. This increase comes for a number of reasons, but knowing a few simple preventative strategies when using heating appliances can significantly lower the number of fires caused by their misuse or carelessness. One of the major dangers comes from heat sources and combustible materials being in close proximity. Heaters should be at least a metre from curtains, bedclothes, furniture or drying washing. Heating equipment should always be installed by qualified trades people and regularly maintained in accordance with the manufacturers instructions. Open fires should always have a fire screen in front of them, to keep children away and prevent sparks from landing on a the carpet or hearth rug. Even with a guard, children should not be left unsupervised in the vicinity of open fires or heaters. Ashes should be allowed to cool before being placed in a metal container outside the house. All flames and embers should be extinguished before leaving the house or going to bed and the flue or chimney should be cleaned at least once a year to prevent the build up of flammable material. When refuelling kerosene heaters, only kerosene should be used and refuelling should only be done in a well ventilated area. Flammable liquids, including petrol, methylated spirits or solvents should not be used around heaters or any naked flame. Prevention is a first line of defence against fire, but these precautions, however vigilantly they are observed, do preclude the necessity to install suitable and sufficient fire detection devices. A smoke alarm should be installed in each bedroom and living area, as well as the kitchen, and on each level of the home. Special devices may be required in the kitchen area. Alarms should be tested every month, the batteries changed at least once a year and alarms gently dusted with a brush every six months. Whilst smoke alarms are an essential tool in early detection of fire, they are only effective if a full evacuation of the house is achieved quickly and safely.

OPEN fires are always attractive, but they are one of the least efficient ways to heat your home. You could save an extra $150 a year on your power bill by choosing a heat pump with the Energy Star mark, which shows it is one of the most efficient. WOODBURNERS Modern woodburners produce little air pollution and average 75% efficiency. Compare this to the 10% efficiency of open fires and 45% for basic woodburners such as pot-belly stoves - and both produce significant air pollution. Always get the council’s approval for installation. Most woodburners generate too much heat for one room, so it makes sense to use a fan and ducting system to heat other rooms.
Wood-pellet burners: Wood-pellet burners are the most environmentally friendly way of heating - the pellets are made from waste products and burn cleanly. ELECTRIC HEATERS These include radiant, fan, convection and night-store heaters and underfloor heating. Each distributes heat differently. Portable electric heaters can be a good option if you want to provided directed warmth for a person or heat a single room for a shorter period. GAS HEATERS These include flued gas heaters, unflued gas heaters and portable LPG heaters. Condensing gas heaters are more efficient than normal gas heaters
and will help reduce your energy bills. Unflued gas heaters, including portable LPG heaters, have no vent or chimney, which presents potential serious risks to your health. Your room must be well-ventilated if you use one of these. CENTRAL HEATING This heats water or air which is then used to heat the entire house. For air, the systems use a series of ducts in each room, and for water they can use either radiators in each room or pipes built into the floors. Central heating systems can have the heat supplied by natural gas or wood pellet fuelled boilers, or heat pumps.

About a third of your household energy goes on home heating. Energy-efficient heating systems can use less energy, save money and help the environment by reducing greenhousegas emissions. This means more than just having a good heater - it’s about having a well-insulated house and choosing to use your heating efficiently. Various heating options are available. Knowing what you want from heating will help you make better choices about how you can get the best energy efficiency and value for money. ● How big is the area you want to heat? It is important to match size of the heater to the space you are heating? This will depend on room dimensions, insulation, window size and whether they are double-glazed or covered, and how cold it is where you live. You can calculate what capacity of heater you’ll need for your room at www.consumer.org.nz ● When and how often do you want to heat each space? Do you want instant heat, such as a heat pump will provide, or can you wait for an appliance to heat the room? Consider overall cost: what an appliance will cost to run and install, connection fees and ongoing line charges, as well as what it costs to buy. HEAT PUMPS Heat pumps are the most efficient way to use electricity to heat your home. Some are more efficient than others and the differences in running costs and performance can be significant. It’s important to get a heat pump that is matched to the size of the area in your house that it will heat.
The LE2000 efficiently heats small to medium sized areas. Optional fan can also dramatically increase the circulation of heat in your home. Detachable ash shelf is a standard feature. Est. Peak Output 16kW. Cast Iron Fire Box.

Advantages of using a heat pump When it comes to home heating, high energy efficiency is a huge plus, helping save on bills. Heat pumps are an extremely efficient way of heating homes and it is no wonder they are becoming a popular choice with homeowners. A heat pump is a compact sealed system similar to a refrigerator, but unlike your fridge, heat pumps can both heat and cool. HOW THEY WORK Feel the air that rises from behind your fridge? That warmth is actually coming from inside. An evaporator coil extracts the warmth from the air inside and transfers it out into your kitchen through a condenser coil on the back of the unit. Heat pumps work in much the same way. Two linked coils, one inside your home and one outside, circulate a refrigerant that draws warmth from the outside air and transfers it into your home. Nothing is actually heated. There are no glowing elements and the process is very efficient. Best of all, at the flick of a switch your heat pump can run in reverse, acting as an air- conditioner to pump heat out of your home and keep it refreshingly cool in warmer weather. HEALTHY CHOICE As well as their energy-saving performance, heat pumps are also perfect for todays healthy, eco-conscious lifestyles. Clean air control is important to many people for health reasons. Before the air is circulated it goes through a filtration system to remove dust pollen and odours. Some models are now incorporating either an air filter that has antiviral and antioxidant qualities while other brands incorporate an oxygen enrichment membrane to boost the oxygen levels in your home. Unlike other forms of heating, a heat pump does not consume oxygen, so the room does not get stuffy. When used for cooling, it also lowers the humidity by removing excess moisture. Another benefit is the refrigerant used is ecofriendly. It does not damage the ozone layer.

Bruce Reihana good enough for ABs still Father and son played on Twickenham By COLIN THORSEN
TC160508SP11
BRUCE REIHANA and son Evaan lead the ‘Saints’ out onto Twickenham.
Bruce Reihana is still good enough to be an All Black if the New Zealand Rugby Union relaxes its ruling on overseas players. The 32-year-old is being hailed as ‘The Man’ after captaining the Northampton Saints to an unprecedented unbeaten league and cup season. The Saints took out the 2007-08 National League One title with a 35-match winning record, thumping
Launceston 81-0 in the final game at their Franklin’s Gardens fortress. Reihana scored four t ries (t ak ing his season’s tally to 28) and contributed 32 points in all. He also captained the Saints to victory in the National Trophy, ironically beating the Exeter Chiefs (Reihana being an ex Waikato BOP Chiefs player) in the final on the hallowed turf of Twickenham on April 12. It was a momentous occasion for the former All Black - captaining the Saints and getting to run out of the tunnel with his son Evaan (12), as the club mascot. It was not the first time Evaan had been to one of the most famous rugby grounds in the world. Two months earlier, he had scored the winning try for his school team in their league final played at Twickenham. During this last game, he had the misfortune to break his collarbone. Evaan was brought up in Te Awamutu with his mother Edith Yates. He went to Parawera School where he started his rugby with his cousins. He played rugby and touch for Te Awamutu
Sports Club. Evaan then moved to England to live with his father in December 2006. He received a mighty welcome to his new primary school everyone wanted to see ‘mini Bruce’. Young Reihana is now at Northampton School for Boys. His grandmother, Nicole Reihana of Te Awamutu says they are very passionate about their sports and their education. Reihana’s year was capped by being named Northampton Saints club’s player of the year and supporter’s player of the year. Just like he was at Rugby Park in Hamilton, he is one of Franklin’s Gardens favourite sons. The shouts of ‘‘Bruce, Bruce, Bruce,’’ are now part and parcel of the experience at home games and befits a player who always gives his all when he pulls on the black, green and gold jersey not too dissimilar to his former beloved Te Awamutu Sports club jersey. Reihana endeared himself even more to the Saints’ supporters by signing a two-year contract extension that will keep him at Franklin’s Gardens until at least 2010 - but let’s hope we see him in black again before then.
Nicholson primed for Olympics
141TC-6222508AA
Andrew Nicholson strengthened his case for a spot in the New Zealand team for the Beijing Olympics with fourth placing at the Saumur horse trials in France. Nicholson, one of Kihikihi’s favourite sons now based in England, said he was ‘‘very pleased’’ with the performance of his eight-year-old gelding Nereo, who was competing at his first three-star event. ‘‘He’s young to be competing at this level but he’s very consistent. He’s always gone very well,’’ Nicholson said. That consistency showed in the pair’s relatively high placing of 16th after the dressage and their move up to sixth at the end of the crosscountry. Nicholson (46) had an even better crosscountry ride on his other eight-year-old gelding, Epic, with the pair clocking the fastest round to push them from 17th to third place. But the horse had to be withdrawn after that stage due to an injury. Nicholson was backing up two top-10 finishes at the Chatsworth international horse trials in England. He finished ninth on Ginger May Killinghurst in the prestigious World Cup qualifier class, and won the advanced class of the competition on her half-brother and Olympic short listed horse Lord Killinghurst. The latter was not entered in the top competition, as Nicholson is keeping the 17-year-old gelding’s competition relatively low key with the build-up to the August games in mind. He did not fully push Ginger May Killinghurst either, so was happy with the 13-year-old mares performance at the same event the pair won last year. ‘‘She had two jumps down which we could have done without but that’s her weakest phase and she did a good dressage and a good crosscountry, so I’m happy.’’ Double Olympic gold medallist Mark Todd put himself formally in the running for a record sixth Olympics as part of a strong New Zealand performance at the Saumur horse trials at the weekend. The 52-year-old finished sixth on his 10-year-old gelding Gandalf, gaining the crucial second Olympic qualifying score they needed to be considered for selection in the New Zealand squad to be named next month.
TE AWAMUTU COURIER, TUESDAY, MAY 20, 2008 17
Hot Tech run riot Speedway aids worthy cause against Sports Ecolab Te Awamutu Sports were no match for a Fraser Tech team loaded with Waikato representative players, being outgunned 67-3. The win has ensured Tech retain the Ron Crawford Memorial Trophy with a week still to go in Waikato premier club rugby’s preliminary round. Te Awamutu Sports were just one of the teams to get well beaten on a day of mostly high scoring, one-sided results. Hamilton Marist produced the biggest score, thrashing bottom-of-thetable Te Rapa 106-0. Peter Bain reports that Sports were forced to defend right from the first whistle in Hamilton. Constant pressure by the home team was rewarded with a try before Sports were able to gain some possession and force Tech to do some defending - resulting in their only points for the game courtesy of a penalty to first-five Waylon Tangohau. Tech ran in a further three converted tries and a penalty to finish the first half with a 29-3 lead. Sports enjoyed their best period of play early in the second half. For 20 minutes they attacked, forcing the opposition into mistakes.
HAPPIER TIMES: Tim Bird, knocked out in game against Fraser Tech on Saturday, pictured playing against University earlier in the season. An injury to wing Tim Bird, who copped an accidental knee to the head, held up play for several minutes, giving Tech a chance to regroup. After the restart, it was all one-way traffic with Tech running in a further six tries over a tired looking Sports team. Sports tried hard all game but were always playing catch-up rugby. They conceded too many turnovers and
missed tackles took their toll. The Sports front rowers worked tirelessly and flanker Jono Armstrong did his reputation no harm with another quality performance in a beaten team. Mid-fielder Mark Murray looked dangerous with the few opportunities he received. Sports’ next match is against Otorohanga at Albert Park, 2.30pm Saturday.
McDonald’s Kihikihi Speedway finished their season in style with some close racing on a super drive track. The day was all about raising funds for Motor Neuron. Greg Maxted reports that, while final figures have not been tallied, the society believe a good amount was raised. The Sprintcars made their first appearance since 2003. The sight of these 800 horsepower beasts charging round Kihikihi was spectacular. Colin Entwisle (8M) appeared the most dialled in to the track, resulting in an emphatic heat two victory. Bob Corscadden (37M) smashed his Sprintcar into the town bend wall severely damaging the front end of his car. The Saloons fronted with a dozen cars including current 3NZ Steve Williams and young female sensation 75M Michelle Wymer. Local 77K Ross Cresswell was right on the pace, hunting down Stratford’s 24S Dave Hinton to take the opening heat. The two remaining heats were won by Williams. His heat two win featured a classy outside pass on 51R Debbie Service, who had lead from the early stages of the race. The quality eight-strong midget field included four national champions. Heat races went to 13A Brad Mosen and 33A Graham Standring but the all important 15 lap final turned out to be real nail bitter. 12A Carl Worboys appeared to be coasting to a comfortable victory, only to see a late charging 13A Brad Mosen fully extend him. Mosen made a last corner burst round the outside, taking the lead but Worboys pipped him over the line. There was a surprise appearance by 85H Jared Wade in his Superstock tank. The racing was not total destruction but their was plenty of hitting. Kihikihi’s very own 98K Brad Ridland proved too good for the visitors with wins in heats one and three, while 449R Aidan McPherson claimed the remaining win. The Production Saloons completed the programme, with 23K Russell Hayes, 65H Daniel Bennett and 46K Edwin Wolffenbuttel the winners. Ryan Johnson 88K was the centre of attention when he went airborne after slamming his car into the Rodeo wall.

COG’S 1 maintained their impressive start to the season sweeping aside 81-37 at the Trust Waikato Te Awamutu Events Centre. Jennifer Weal reports that tight defensive work by goalkeep Vanessa Chatfield and equally impressive work by her elder sister Kylie Chatfield at the opposite end of the court saw COG’s 1 leading 16-6 nearing quarter time. An impressive spurt by TAS Ecolab late in the quarter saw them close the gap to 19-12 after 15 minutes. Both teams made personell changes but it was TAS Ecolab that came out fighting, claiming some early breaks to shorten COG’s lead to 22-19 midway through the second quarter. COG’s 1 then regained their composure and control of the game. The mid court pulled off some outstanding intercepts and their constant one-on-one defensive ta c t i c s resulted in a 12 goal streak, stretching their lead to 33-19. At half time, COG’s 1 had firm control leading 38 - 21. Further changes by both teams, mainly in the defensive circles, meant that both teams took the first few minutes of the third quarter to settle. COG’s 1 soon took control of the court

Rider does her school proud ‘Top 10’ placings for Ashley at North Islands
TC160508SP11
LAUREN ASHLEY and Silver.
Lauren Ashley was the sole Te Awamutu College representative at the North Island Inter-Secondary School Dressage Championships held at St Peter’s in Cambridge. The 17-year-old did her school proud, placing ninth in the first of two events she enetred and fifth in the more challenging second test. Both classes had 22 riders in total. It was an excellent achievement, particularly in the excitement and busy environment of such a large event, riding a borrowed horse. Over 200 riders, ponies and horses from the far north to Wellington represented their schools . Fifty-two teams of four riders competed throughout the day. Lauren had ridden competitively for eight years but reluctantly sold her horse and ceased competitive riding two years ago due to school, work and other
sporting commitments. At a recent gathering, a friend of the family, Elizabeth Lee, suggested she enter the schools’ dressage competition. She offered her own 12-year-old horse Silver (aka Deo Juvante) for Lauren to ride and gave her a couple of coaching sessions during the week. Lauren then felt comfortable riding him in a dressage arena. As Lauren no longer had any riding gear, Elizabeth’s daughter Trisha Lee (a competitive equestrian rider) loaned her helmet, jodhpurs, and boots. Elizabeth took a day away from her law studies at Waikato University to drive Lauren and Silver to St Peter’s in her truck and spent the entire day with her, preparing her for the tests (and keeping her calm). It all proved worthwhile after she gained the two ‘Top 10’ placings. Having previously represented the college throughout the years in cycling,
duathlon, athletics and equestrian, Lauren was proud to represent Te Awamutu College in her last year in this equestrian event and stoked to have done so well.

Stephen Spielberg, Harrison Ford and Karen Allen are all back for the much-anticipated fourth instalment in the Indiana Jones series. Set in 1957, Dr Henry ‘Indiana’ Jones pits himself against dastardly agents of the Soviet Union, led by Irina Spalko (Cate Blanchett), for the crystal skull – a legendary skull shaped by higher powers and credited with supernatural properties. Deliberately avoiding CGI effects and relying on script and stunt-work, the film is said to be very much in the tradition of the trilogy. 141TC-6226162AA

Win a double pass to ‘Talking Sport’ Te Awamutu Courier and CDs4nix (formerly Tracs) give readers the chance to win a double pass to ‘Talking Sport - An Audience with Keith Quinn, Peter M o n t gomery a n d Graham Lowe’ at Hamilton’s Clarence Street Theatre on Friday May 30. If ever there was an opportunity to get the inside goss on some of the going’s on in the international sporting arena this is it. Three instantly recognisable names and familiar voices on stage for the first time together, recounting stories from their incredible careers. Keith Quinn, the voice of rugby for 35 years, has talked us through some of the mighty All Blacks’ greatest glories and disappointing world cup exits. Peter Montgomery, the voice of New Zea-
land yachting for over 30 years, has become better known than many of those whose d e e d s he has described
in his commentaries which include nine America’s Cups, seven Olympic Games and all nine Round the World races Graham Lowe has forged a reputation that transcends his position as a football
coach and Rugby League icon. From a sport which places a premium on macho image and physical rather than emotional prowess, Grah a m h a s moved beyond masculine boundaries to appeal to a broad crosssection of New Zealand s o c i e t y, well outside the game of Rugby League. This is your golden opportunity to join these three great New Zealanders up close and personal as they recount adventures you’ve previously only been privy to through your television screens. And who knows - you might just the opportunity to ask that question about NZ sport that’s been bugging you for years....and
