Playground underway

TC170211DT01

KINGAN Landscaping pour the first of the new paths yesterday as part of the new playground development on the corner of Gorst Avenue andSelwyn Lane.

At its last meeting just a fewweeks ago the Te Awamutu Play-ground Committee resolved toutilise funds in hand to make astart on the new playground whilestill fundraising the balance.

Last week Kingan Landscapingbegan site works, and yesterdaythey poured the first of the pathsfor the project.

The committee believe startingwork will engender more interestin the fundraising aspect of theproject and are grateful for KinganLandscaping for taking on theproject at short notice and toBowers Concrete for supportingthe project with a great deal on

concrete.The need for a challenging,

adventure type playground wasidentified as part of the Heart of TeAwamutu Project, stemming froman initial approach byschoolchildren to the Te AwamutuCommunity Board.

The Board committed $10,000 tothe project and its recommendedsite adjacent to the Te AwamutuEvents Centre, on the corner ofGorst Avenue and Selwyn lane,was subsequently approved byCouncil.

Research and planning resultedin a design that has been approvedby the Board and Council costing

$245,000. Cost savings and pricereductions have reduced the totalto somewhere closer to $210,000,and with about $125,000 raised, thecommittee believed starting was agood option.

Siteworks will be completedand some specifically sponsoredplay equipment will be able to beinstalled at the very least.

A number of applications arestill pending, and the committeehas approached local servicegroups to seek their assistance.

The committee has the supportof Waipa Mayor Alan Livingstonand fundraising is through theWaipa Community Trust.

It is believed such an amenitywill further enhance the develop-ing recreational and heritage pre-cinct in and around Selwyn Park,Rose Gardens and Events Centreand will add value to the district.

The committee is chaired byBobbie Fladgate and includesBetsy Bryant, Community Boardchairman Dean Taylor, Waipa Dis-trict asset manager parks andreserves Max Ward and WaipaDistrict councillor Hazel Barnes.

Any group, organisation orbusiness wanting more informa-tion or able to assist with theproject is welcome to contact amember of the committee.

Bank account opened for ‘bubble boy’Local people have been quick to offer

support for Corban Melville who featuredblowing bubbles on the front page of the TeAwamutu Courier on February 8.

Corban (5) is autistic and is becoming‘trapped’ at home as his family find itincreasingly difficult to take him out.

A disability dog would give him morefreedom, but comes with a hefty price tag ofaround $25,000.

If you would like to help, donations can bedeposited into the Corban Freedom TrustAccount (12 3134 00049380 00) or call into theASB Te Awamutu branch.

A fundraising walk will also be held duringApril in the Te Rahu Road area.

The walk will cross many properties withconsiderable combined history, so organisersare giving it a colonial/cowboy theme.

Anyone interested in helping further cancontact Kaz Pollard (ph 871 8587).

A YOUR LETTERS

Refreshing realism in Council ranksYour front page story,

‘Council split overaffordability’ seems to beshowing locals that there issome light at the end of thetunnel in relation toestablishing a little realism, inlooking at what local rate-payers need, want, and canafford in the medium term, aswe all struggle to climb out ofthe worldwide recession,which has not yet released itsgrip.

Your article, plus Vern Wil-son’s letter ‘Nice to have...’shows us that some council-lors are being realistic.

I believe that the fact thatmore councillors have notaligned with that group, hasless to do with a pragmaticapproach to the actuality ofthe district’s financial posi-tion, than it has to a blindloyalty to its leadership, andan unrealistic belief that nomatter how hard the financialtimes become, ratepayers willsomehow find the money.

In a few simple words,Mayor Alan Livingstonconfirms the concerns aboutcore facilities which my lastletter mentioned, when hesays in part:

‘‘....... being able to defercapacity increases for even afew years can provide hugesavings.’’

Therein lies the truth of it,with the deferring of capacityincreases becoming informalpolicy for decades for manycouncils, including ours I sus-pect, being the reason we findourselves in such a bind now.

And what of the false sav-ings so achieved?

Am I the only one who isincredulous that a report com-missioned by Council at a costof $85,000 still leaves open theoption for Council of commit-

ting $3.5 Million of Waiparatepayer funds to building anew cycling centre of excel-lence (with support from aCouncil workshop) and the $15Million museum/theatre com-plex?

What are we local rate-payers who are not of the localfinancial elite facing here — aCouncil which is living in‘cloud cuckoo land’financially, or a cynical jug-gernaut’ which will have whatthe elite few want, while mak-ing the hoi polloi pay untilthey bleed?

DENNIS PENNEFATHER

Spend now, pay latermentality destructive

How fortunate Waipa is tohave men of vision like MayorLivingston and Cr Scaramuzza?

Words of wisdom flow fromtheir mouths in regard to howimportant it is to raise rates yetagain to maintain presentstandards, in order to takeadvantage of the economicupturn when it comes.

In true political spin, CrScaramuzza portrays any costcutting or postponing of pro-jects as short sightedness. Back-ing up these two senior Councilmembers we have Cr Finn say-ing how lucky we are that thisinspired leadership has ensureda mere 5% rate rise! Cr Finn isindeed a natural born poli-tician.

Is it any wonder that themajority of New Zealanders livebeyond their means and spendmore than they earn when our

leaders—our men ofvision—promote a spend now,pay later mentality?

Whatever happened todelayed gratification? What thehell — I’m worth it and Ideserve it — now!

Book that up to the ratepayerplease old chap — they’re tooapathetic to do anything aboutit and they’ve been well trainedto accept anything up to a 5%increase year after year withoutmissing a breathe.

And don’t forget old chap,after all, ratepayers voted thisCouncil in just recently so theynow have a mandate to do whatthey want.

I wonder if the thought ofmandatory balanced budgetswould appeal to them orincreases only mandated byratepayer referendums?

ALocals wade in to supportNational Wetlands Day

TC170211SP3

TRACEY EDWARDS supervises a team tackling the Niwa station challenge, which focussed on riparianzones and water clarity.

National Wetlands Day was afamily affair this year with every-one from babies to grandmothersparticipating in the Target 40Wetland Challenge at Ohaupo’sLake Serpentine.

Teams of four competed inwetland-related challengesincluding measuring the lake’swater clarity, naming native fishspecies and wetland pests, anddesigning a riparian zone to pro-tect the lake’s water. The firstteam to reach 40 points won.

Two challenges were dedi-cated to the Houdina moth dis-covered by Landcare Researchscientist Corrine Watts. Its larvaelive inside the stem of the giantcane rush and it is found natur-ally in only three places in theworld, all in the Waikato.

The national Wetlands Trust’schief executive Karen Denyersaid the event was wellsupported, particularly by localresidents.

The top prize of four tickets fora Maungatautari After DarkExperience was won by ClanKewish for completing the chal-lenge in the best time and withthe most points.

The Mourits family’s Serpen-tine Serpents also did well takingthe prize for best name and alimerick about the Houdini moth.

“Everyone we spoke to saidthey had a great day, and encour-aged us to run the challengeagain next year. We couldn’t holdthis event without the generoussupport of DoC, Waipa DistrictCouncil, Weed Busters, Environ-

ment Waikato and NZ LandcareTrust, and organisations likeMighty River Power whosponsored our major prize,” MrsDenyer said.

All proceeds from the eventwill go to the National WetlandTrust’s project to construct awetlands centre at Lake Serpen-tine. The centre will be dedicatedto education and informationabout New Zealand’s wetlandsand their preservation. It will beaimed at local, domestic andinternational visitors with astrong offering to school groups.

The wetland challenge alsomarked the 40 year anniversaryof the signing of the InternationalConvention on Wetlands of Inter-national Importance (known asRamsar sites).

Kai @ the Right Price offers more optionsKai @ the Right Price, which

has been addressing food securityin Te Awamutu and Kihikihi forthe past eight months, has addednew food options.

‘‘The term food security iswidely used; however, there issome confusion about what itactually means,” says PopulationHealth promoter Betty Holden.

”Food security exists when allfamilies or whanau, at all times,are able to access enough safe andnutritious foods to live an activeand healthy life.”

Fresh Choice and PopulationHealth’s health promotion team

joined forces to make that goal alittle more achievable and pro-mote healthy lifestyles throughthe community-based initiativeKai @ the Right Price. With thehelp of Fresh Choice Te Awamutuand produce manager PhidOldfield, Kai @ the Right Pricecustomers were recently sur-veyed to see if Kai @ the RightPrice was meeting their needs andwhere it could be improved.

“As a result Fresh Choice isnow offering in addition to theirstandard range, the option ofmixed packs of fruit and vege-tables to cater for smaller

households. We are also lookingat including in store promotionsof meat packs to complement Kai@ the Right Price,” Mr Oldfieldsays.

“When you go to Fresh Choice,you are able to purchase $2.99packs of a variety of quality fruitand vegetables,” Ms Holden says.

“Buy four of these packs andyou will get a fifth free. It’s a greatconcept and one that will hope-fully encourage people to fill theirtrolleys with nutritious foodwhich is now even moreaffordable and helps us in ourjourney to lead healthy lifestyles."

Country counting on you on Census DayA campaign to encourage com-

munities to complete their censusforms online — Come to YourCensus — was launched this weekby the 2020 Communications Trust.

2020 Trust spokespersonLaurence Zwimpfer said one of theaims of ‘Come to Your Census’ is toenable people who have partici-pated in the Trust’s Computers inHomes and Stepping UP pro-grammes to use their digital skillsto complete the census.

People with an internet con-nection can complete their censusafter they receive their documentsthat are being hand-delivered by7000 collectors throughout New Zea-land from Saturday.

2020 Trust is hoping to helppeople who do not feel confidentcompleting their forms online athome by inviting them to go to anearby community access site oncensus day, Tuesday, March 8,where volunteers will help them

connect to www.census.govt.nz.‘‘We are encouraging any organ-

isation with one or more internet-connected computers to open theirdoors to the people in their localcommunity on Census day,Tuesday, March 8 between 9am and7pm, or for schools from 4pm to7pm,’’ said Mr Zwimpfer.

‘‘These community access sitescould be schools, libraries,churches, workplaces, communitycentres, citizens’ advice bureaux,SeniorNet centres, food banks, ter-tiary institutions or marae.

‘‘People need to bring both thecensus paper forms and the InternetAccess Code delivered to them bycollectors to complete their censusforms online at a community accesssite.

We are focusing our campaign inour Computers in Homes regionsthat cover about half of allhouseholds, i.e. Far North, Whanga-rei, Auckland, Waikato, Taranaki,

Whanganui, Porirua, Wellington,Wairoa, Gisborne, Bay of Plenty,Christchurch, West Coast and Dun-edin.

‘‘We think this is an excellentway that people, who have benefitedfrom the government-supportedComputers in Homes programme,can use their digital skills to demon-strate the benefits of having anonline connection,’’ said MrZwimpfer.

‘‘Both our Computers in Homesand Stepping UP programmes aimto give people the confidence to domore online, and this includescompleting forms. Even people whoare digitally literate may hesitate tocomplete the forms online and ourmessage is to ‘give it a go! If you arefeeling a bit unsure, come to anearby community access site,where someone can help you getconnected.’’

In the last census in 2006, only7% of census forms were completed

online. Statistics NZ is hoping thiswill increase to 30% for this year’scensus.

‘‘We would like to see even morein our target areas,’’ concluded MrZwimpfer.

Organisations willing to providea Community Access Site for censusonline forms can register at theStepping UP website:www.steppingup.org.nz

Board frustratedby absence ofawareness

CFP

BY Te Awamutu coun-cillor and CommunityBoard member HazelBarnes.

Since my lastcolumn, the Commun-ity Board has met inNovember and Decem-ber 2010 and again inFebruary.

Generally speakingthe first two meetingsdealt with sorting whowas doing what on localcommittees, dates ofmeetings etc.

Your Board mem-bers have an interest inmost communitygroups and keep theirfinger on the pulse ofthe community gener-ally, to help and sup-port where necessary.

If your group/club needs some help and youdon’t seem to be getting anywhere, come to ourmeetings — 6pm on the second Tuesday of everymonth.

What really bothers members of your Commun-ity Board is the lack of understanding by asignificant number of the community on our roleand function.

We are here to represent, and act as an advocatefor, the interest of our community, communicatewith community organisations and special inter-est groups, and other functions to promote andsupport progress within our community.

Council allocate funds to us for minor commun-ity works and I have reported to you in the past onexpenditure to assist many groups to move ahead.

We also recommend annual priorities forcapital works, including reserve development, inthe community area.

The only way we can recommend thesepriorities is to hear from you. Certainly each of usis out there listening but did we get to your group?

Your Community Board now has a significantpart to play in moving Te Awamutu forward andprogressing any projects that will achieve thishappening.

We will be thinking about our submission to theAnnual Plan at our next meeting and whatrecommendations need to be progressed. Forinstance: paving the business footpath fromChurchill Street to Mutu Street, bicycle racks nearthe bus shelter in Gorst Avenue, better lighting atthe bus shelter in Gorst Avenue for people who arenow using our very good bus service to Hamilton,particularly workers who commute and will arrivein the dark in winter, speed signs, and many otherissues brought to our attention.

There are to be public meeting from here onregarding the Annual Plan. For those of youwondering what the Annual Plan is all aboutplease take an interest, because it is all about howthe Council intends to spend ratepayers’ money. Ifthis presents a problem please come to ourmeetings to let us support you –that is what youvoted us here to do.

There are a wide range ofsandwiches and rolls, with hotpork sandwiches proving par-ticularly popular.

Other hot options includefish, chips hamburgers etc,while the cabinets have plenty ofsweet options such as slices andcakes.

The Snack Shack also stocksKiwi Pies.

‘‘If we can’t make it ourselveswe aim to get as many localproducts as we can.’’

She says the great parkingwas another ‘plus’ when it cameto buying the business.

‘‘Most of our customers arelooking for food on the go - theywant to be able to park outside,pop in and grab their choicesquickly.

‘‘We have heaps of parkinghere and its easy to get to off themain road, so they don’t wasteany time waiting for their food.

‘‘That also means we have toget our timing right when itcomes to having cooked foodready.’’

The Snack Shack stocks arange of cold drinks and makestea, coffee etc.

Ms Weastell is currentlysourcing a roasted coffeemachine to add another option.

The Snack Shack is open from6am - 3pm daily.

Two further wickets in theopening session had Te Aroha42/3 after 17 overs to leave thegame in the balance.

A number of droppedchances and missed opportun-ities, coupled with Te Awamutubeing reduced to nine in thefield, allowed Te Aroha to puton a match-winning fourthwicket partnership.

Daniel Frischknecht led theway with 65 not out, supportedby Jatinder Singh with 32 as TeAroha reached the target in the46th over.

It came down to a tightfinish, with 17 runs requiredfrom the last over. Despitehitting a big six in the over togive Pirongia hope, theyeventually came up five runsshort.

Golfer’s golden roundClaydon shoots four under his age

CFP

MIKE CLAYDON shows his skill chipping out of the bunker on the18th at ASB Te Awamutu Golf Club.

BY COLIN THORSEN

Octogenarian Mike Claydonhad ample reason to pop thechampagne corks after playingfour under his age on Vets day atASB Te Awamutu Golf Club.

The 81-year-old shot 77 off-the-stick celebrating his and wifeTeeney’s golden wedding anni-versary.

Claydon opened with a solid41 on the front nine holes, thenstormed home in a one-over par36 —which could easily havebeen 34 had he not gone out-of-bounds on the 18th.

‘‘I can’t recall ever having abetter nine holes. It’s just a pity Ihad a hiccup on the final hole, Iwas pretty disappointed not tofinish the job off.’’

Claydon’s back nine includedthree birdies on the 12th, 13thand 17th.

Best of the Vets wereClaydon, Robin Thompson andNoel Lord with 42 stableford,Peter McCullough 41, DaveHerlihy, Eric Dockray 39, ColinGreen 38, Ross Murray, GeorgeVanner, Colin Moore, HenryHolden, Sid Lim 37, Les Com-mon, James Charlton 36.

Mike and Barbara Waters,and Peter and Vivienne Kayhave been declared joint win-ners of the 2011 Summer Cup,each couple returning creditablescores of 79.

Twos were scored by RayBrain and Alba Yoon.

Sub par Ashford roundShayne Ashford showed his readiness for the

championship pennants commencing this week-end — shooting a personal best 66 off-the-stick atStewart Alexander on Sunday.

The three times club champion (2001, 2002, 2008)was in scintillating form throughout his four-under-par round, comprising even halves of 33.

The six handicapper made the perfect start,recording a birdie on No. 1, and finished his roundin the same vein with a birdie two on the 18th. Healso recorded birdies on four, 13 and 17.

Ashford will turn out for Stewart Alexander’sdivision V pennant team at Pirongia in the firstround of the Newstalk ZB Championship Men’sPennants on Sunday.

Peter Way reports that Curtis Taukiri is in finetouch to meet his coach and mentor Phil Lambertin the final of the junior handicap match playchampionship. He carded an 80 gross for 48stableford points.

A decade after their last studio album SiblingRivalry, the Doobie Brothers re-unite with TedTempleman the producer of their breakthrough ‘70’shits, for their current release — World Gone Crazy.

The result is a tight album that recalls all of theirglory days. The lads are in fine form, writing solidsongs and giving relaxed, lived-in performances, alladding up to a strong album that sits well with theirsongs of yesteryear.

There’s no separating the unparalleled legacy ofthe Doobie Brothers from their latest effort, whichgrows in unexpected directions.

Templeman has succeeded unquestionably in re-igniting the special chemistry that audiences haveembraced over the past four decades.

With great hits such as Listen To The Music, BlackWater, China Grove, What A Fool Believes, LongTrain Running, Taking It To The Streets, Jesus IsJust Alright, Minute By Minute and Rockin’ DownThe Highway, The Doobie Brothers are one of thoseenduring worldwide favourites.
