BRIEFLYStolen van used in burglaries

Te Awamutu Police would like help to solve a spate of rural burglaries overnight Monday.

The saga began some time after 10pm Monday when a white Nissan Caravan van (TO 3097) was stolen from Man-deno Street. It was then used to steal motorbikes in three burglaries at Te Kawa, Ngutunui and Ngahape Road properties.

The van was sighted at Nga-hape Road at about 5am then dumped at a Whitmore Street property sometime between then and 8am.

Any sightings of the van or information should be reported to Te Awamutu Police (872 0100).

Attacked when walking home

Three Te Awamutu men, two aged 20 and another aged 26, appeared in Hamilton District Court on Tuesday charged with aggravated robbery.

They had been arrested on Monday for the attack on a man on Carlton Street in the early hours of Sunday morning.

The victim had been walking home when the three men as-saulted him and stole his wallet and cellphone.

Farmers, particularly those whose land borders waterways, will be relieved that the Environ-ment Court has rejected a chal-lenge to Environment Waikato’s proposed Regional Plan.

In a case involving debate about the best way to protect water quality in the Waikato River and other waterways in the region, the Ecologic Foundation (formerly the Maruia Society) had appealed against provisions in the proposed Regional Plan related to fertiliser use and nu-trient runoff.

However, after a brief hear-ing, the Environment Court ruled that Ecologic did not have

jurisdiction to seek its proposed changes to the Regional Plan.

“This means we will now get on with the consultation proc-ess with our communities about ways of maintaining and enhanc-ing water quality standards throughout the region,” Environ-ment Waikato chairman, Jenni Vernon says.

She says both Environment Waikato and Ecologic believed regulations were needed to limit fertiliser use in sensitive catch-ments – but they had disagreed about the best way to achieve this objective, and also the list of which catchments were consid-ered “sensitive”.

“At Environment Waikato, we know it is important to consult the farming community fi rst before introducing rules to limit nitrogen run-off into sensitive catchments – where such rules prove to be necessary,” she says.

“Ecologic, on the other hand, had suggested in their appeal that this process would take too long. They were seeking to have rules put into place this year for priority catchments, with a proviso that farmers be given till 2007 to get their nutrient budget plans in place.”

Mrs Vernon says that Environ-ment Waikato believes communi-ty consultation is vital for getting

the farming community on board and actively supportive of the need to reduce nutrient run-off.

“We believe that if we are going to impose rules on the farming community, they have the right to have their say on those rules.

“Just like the Smokefree legis-lation, if people understand the reasons why controls are being imposed, then they are much more likely to be supportive.”

Now that the Ecologic appeal had been rejected, Environment Waikato will proceed with its process of community consulta-tion about the best ways of main-taining and enhancing water quality.

Communities to have water quality say

Upgrade steams ahead

Cranes working at Fonter-ra’s Te Awamutu factory site on Alexandra Street have domi-nated the local skyline in recent months.

Work is progressing well on the installation of the two new dryers, which will help Fonterra achieve signifi cant savings in

operational costs.As well as cutting the compa-

ny’s energy bill, the new dryers fi t in with Fonterra’s award-win-ning Energy Reduction Project - aimed at reducing energy use across the company by a combi-nation of improved work prac-tices and more energy-effi cient

equipment.Food retailing businesses in

the vicinity of the dairy factory have done a roaring trade, with up to 200 contractors involved in the project.

And the scene for drivers and pedestrians on Alexandra Street has at times seemed more like an

inner city development site than a provincial town.

Fonterra project manager Dave Packer says work is progressing extremely well with the concrete slab buildings and everything is going to schedule for the start of pre-commissioning tests in March.

Te Awamutu Courier, Thursday, July 7, 2005

I was appalled to read on the front page of the Herald last week a report that said that in a recent poll 70% of people did not agree with the repeal of Section 59 of the Crimes Act.

I think this is because of a misin-formed public debate about the physi-cal punishment of children.

There is the public perception that Sue Bradford’s bill to repeal the Act is about banning the smacking of chil-dren.

This is misleading and irresponsible, there is no mention of banning smack-ing in the bill.

The explanatory note to the bill says its purpose is: “To stop force and associated violence being infl icted on children in the context of correction or discipline”.

Section 59 says that parents or guardians can use ‘reasonable force’ in

disciplining children.What one person considers ‘reason-

able force’ may be very different to oth-ers opinions.

There have been some examples of this in the last year, where parents have escaped conviction by using the excuse of ‘reasonable force’, when using, for example, a polythene pipe, a piece of timber, riding crop and bamboo stick in punishing their children.

Section 59 violates the UNCRC by providing parents who physically abuse children with a means to avoid convic-tion. The police are not likely to be con-cerned with a simple smack.

Two things have heartened me this week - one is that most of our politi-cians have seen the importance of re-pealing Section 59 of the Crimes Act. They have read it and understood it.

Hopefully, right minded people in the

community will have that understand-ing too and support Sue Bradford’s pri-vate members bill to repeal Section 59.

The second encouragement I have had this week is having heard on Chris Laidlaw’s Insight programme that Ngongataha has declared its commu-nity a ‘smack free zone’.

They have been setting up positive parenting and other programmes to teach parents better ways of bringing up children.

It was heartening to hear what a dif-ference it has made to families in the area, parents and children saying how improved their family relationships are.

The whole community has benefi ted.Come on Te Awamutu how about it.

Bill not about banning smacking

In relation to objections to the pro-posed realignment alongside Anzac Green.

It has always been asserted that one business alone would benefi t when in fact there are fi ve businesses in that one block.

Maybe I need to spell it out: in the Vaile Street Medical Centre there is a doctors’ service, a dentist, a physi-otherapist, the only radiologist in town and a blood service.

The original Anzac Green will not be touched.

In fact, it will be enhanced with nice footpaths and maybe some native trees.

The proposed trees to be removed are not even native.

PIERRE VERMUNT

More than one business to benefi t from realignment

One of four men convicted for his part in a pack rape at Mt Maunganui 16 years ago is a director of the company that runs Te Awamutu Events Centre.

Peter Mana McNamara (46) is one of two directors of H2O Management which has had the Council contract for running the Events Centre since it opened four years ago.

The High Court jury in Wellington also convicted three others for the January

1989 rape, including Tauranga fi refi ght-er Warren Hales. Name suppression has been continued for the other two men.

H2O Management also has operation contracts for Tauranga City Council’s Mount Hot Pools and Domain Motor Camp and other pools at Greerton, Otu-moetai and Memorial Park, as well as Napier’s Ocean Spa Pool.

Sentencing for the four men is sched-uled for early next month.

Waipa District Council chief executive John Inglis said it would be ‘business as usual’ as far as Council was concerned.

“We never saw much of Peter McNa-mara on a day-to-day operational basis. H2O have all their systems in place and I guess they have been preparing for dif-ferent possibilities, so we are fi ne and still in good hands,” Mr Inglis responded when asked whether the verdict would require any action by Council.

Council says conviction will have no impact on Events Centre operation

Training day unites St John Ambulance professional and volunteer offi cers

By Dean TaylorMore than 60 volun-

teer and professional St John Ambulance of-fi cers came together on Sunday with the express purpose of learning how to be better at their job.

The fi rst ever Waipa area training day for ambulance offi cers was organised by Paul McKenzie, one of Te Awamutu’s four profes-sional offi cers.

He co-ordinated 10 workshops over a full day programme.

Mr McKenzie says the idea was especially to bring all volunteer

staff from such a large region up to speed with procedures and to give everyone a chance to get to know each other.

The Waipa area in-cludes Te Awamutu, Otorohanga, Te Kuiti, Bennydale, Kawhia, Pio Pio, Mokau and Taha-roa, so many volunteers often feel isolated from their support.

Mr McKenzie says knowing offi cers from around the area gives people more confi dence when asking for help in emergency situations.

The 10 workshops covered a wide variety

of scenarios and situa-tions ambulance offi cers are likely to deal with at any given time.

Midland region medi-cal director Dr Muir Wallace spoke about treating people with various problems lead-ing to shortness of breath, from asthma and respiratory illness-es, to heart attacks.

A team of profession-als demonstrated the full array of equipment and treatments avail-able to cardiac arrest patients, and how the volunteers who were often fi rst at the scene

could prepare the area effectively so the team could carry out their procedures.

Another workshop covered the use of the various types of defi -brillators that are used within the system, aimed at making sure all staff could use any available machine.

Police and the Fire Service were also in-volved.

Te Awamutu Police spoke about sudden death procedures, scene safety issues and police

responsibilities at emer-gency scenes, such as motor vehicle crashes, and what to do if an of-fi cer has cause to believe a death is suspicious, including ways of pro-tecting a scene without compromising patient safety.

The Fire Service demonstrated the equip-ment they carry and use at emergency scenes and spoke about how fi re and ambulance could work together at differ-ent scenarios.

Other workshops di-

rectly related to patient safety and procedures included patient assess-ment, fracture manage-ment, treatment and moving or extracting patients with fractures and basic procedures for pain relief.

One workshop covered the important aspect of completing required pa-perwork to a high stand-ard, both for the sake of accuracy and auditing St John’s performance.

Volunteers also had the peer support pro-gramme explained in

detail.The staff run service

is confi dential and puts offi cers requiring help in touch with the right pro-fessionals to ensure the wellbeing of offi cers.

Mr McKenzie says the response to this fi rst series of workshops has been so positive, it is planned to be an annual event.

He says the bottom line is ambulance offi c-ers know they are part of a large team dedicat-ed to serving the public in times of need.

Drop in, shape up these holidays

A new feature of the forthcoming St John’s Junior Drop In Holiday Programme will be the pre-lunch exercise programme provided by Bruce’s Gym.

The structured exercise session is added to the already popular ac-tivities such as craft and drawing tables, reading and Lego corner, su-pervised indoor hockey, basic wood-work and needlework tables, board and card games.

Other new activities are also planned, such as learning origami from local masters of this ancient craft.

Programme coordinator Lesley Egglestone says the well established holiday programme usually attracts a full house, so those wanting to at-tend need to get in early.

She says the programme is a com-bined community and church group activity which fi lls an obvious need in Te Awamutu as it gives parents a break for a few hours without a big cost.

“Children just need to bring their imagination and sense of fun and we all end up having a wow of a time,” she says.

“It gives me such a wonderful feel-ing to be involved as the children give you tenfold in return.

“It is fantastic running into the children around town and have them remember you and greet you with a smile.”

The organisers welcome any offers of help, whether it be volunteering for a day or new ideas for crafts and activities, especially during the win-ter holiday.

The St John’s Junior Drop In Holiday Programme is held in the Church Hall in George Street from 10am until 1.30pm each Wednesday and Thursday of the holiday break.

Cost is just $2.50 per child and they can cater for 50 children per session. Lunch is provided.

For more information contact Mrs Egglestone through the Parish Of-fi ce (871 5568).

BLACK RUSSIAN Terrier pup Lada, with her ‘dad’ Kaisan and his owners, Paul and Lena Frandi and son, Nikolai (23 months). 188055AD

From Russia, with love come black beauties

By Grant JohnstonWhen Lena Frandi

emigrated to New Zea-land from the Ukraine two years ago there was no way she was leaving her Black Rus-sian Terrier, Kaisan behind.

The dog, from a breed especially bred as se-curity dogs for Stalin’s KGB in the 1940s, saved her life.

“An attempt was made to shoot me and Kaisan knocked me over and out of the fl ight path of the bul-let,” Mrs Frandi says.

Now Kaisan has fa-thered the fi rst litter of Black Russian Ter-riers to be born in New Zealand, through a mating with New Zea-land champion, Cim-maron Mistick Moon of Rotorua’s Rangatira Kennels.

As the stud fee for Kaisan, Mrs Frandi and her husband Paul own a four-month-old female and male puppy from the litter.

The male, worth around $2000, has a likely buyer in Aus-tralia, while they will retain co-ownership of the female, Lada, with Rangatira Kennels.

The Black Russian Terrier was originally bred from a mating involving Rottweiler and Giant Schnauzer bloodlines.

Mr Frandi says although 10-year-old Kaisan serves as a highly effi cient guard dog at their Paterangi farm house and can use his size to dominate, he also has a gentle side.

Local youngster Ricky Clements was rapt when his tabby kitten ‘TA’ gained two top 10 placings in the Mid North Island Shorthair Cat Show at Te Awamutu College hall.

TA was judged best short hair in ring one, which saw Ricky take home a new carry cage donated by VE Vets.

Another local Neil Hancock, owner of long-haired red cat Kendall, gained a third placing and other special awards.

Top domestic went to an Auckland cat, a brown tabby ‘Apache Warrior’ owned by Colleen Vin-cent.

In the pedigree section top cat went to another Aucklander, Lois Arnold’s Siamese ‘Blue Lodge Star of Egypt’. Mrs Arnold is a well known breeder and her win was a popular result with the crowd.

Top pedigree kitten went to ‘Sunti Ice Maiden’, another Siamese, owned by Jan Allot.

Best decorated cage went to another local Cath-erine Trigg.

Local organiser, Sue Ford was content with a fi fth placing for her Burmese male, ‘Aurora Kiowa Chief ’.

Mrs Ford says the success of the show was in part due to the generosity of local sponsors, which meant most exhibitors went home with a prize, while the excellent raffl es donated by the Veterinary Centre and club members added to a fun day.

A large number of people visited the show and enjoyed the ‘mid winter’ atmosphere with Christ-mas decorations and cat paintings adorning the walls, produced by Pirongia Primary School students.

“It was so good to have so many youngsters showing their cats. They are our future and many start with domestics then go on to purchase and show pedigrees,” Mrs Ford says.

The judges were impressed with the quality of the cats presented both in the domestic and pedigree sections. They made particular com-ment about some outstanding Siamese cats and kittens that had travelled from New Plymouth and Christchurch.

Unwanted visitors

My heckles rise when I receive ‘cold turkey’ calls, at my home, from uninvited hawkers. Frequently they are selling their own reli-gious convictions.

Recently a couple of elderly people found their way to my back door (one is more vul-nerable at one’s back door!) The man was armed with ‘The Bible’ fi rmly planted under his arm like some warrant giving him authority to invade my home.

None of us are natu-rally rude to strangers, and I asked him how I could help? I was in-formed that he had good news to share with me.

I wondered whether I’d misread him, and that indeed he was from Readers Digest, telling me that I had been selected from millions of others (again) to be in the running for a major prize! He indeed might have been one of those email-ers, from Nigeria, materialising in person, who wished to deposit zillions into my bank; as long as I gave him my bank account number.

But no, he was neither of those generous mes-sengers; he came from ‘The Lord’s son’ and he wanted me to know I could be saved, and I would go to everlasting glory when I fi nally ‘fell off my branch’.

At this point I decide the direct approach will probably curtail this unwanted invasion of my home, and I tell him ‘I’m an atheist’. Wrong thing to say Cox; his face drops, his shoulders sag, and I think the person with him lets a couple of tears roll down her sunken cheeks.

“Oh you poor non-believer,” he reverently sobbed. Now this really gets me; how arrogant to suggest that I do not believe.

I tell him politely, but in no uncertain terms, that I have a very wide range of beliefs, but do not happen to share his rather discredited religious and myopic view of life.

I added, perhaps unkindly, that most of the world’s major confl icts and atrocities throughout history seem to have had someone’s God at their centre.

I also ask him to leave right now. They do after blessing me, presumably as a lost cause, with his Bible readjusted under his arm, and his all to ob-vious wig, slightly awry.

Before all those who do belong to a religious group start getting up in arms, let me say just this; ‘Belong to whatever faith you choose; many do a lot of good for their fellow men, but don’t be so arrogant as to think you can bail me up at my home, or indeed anywhere, and force your views on me.’

I wonder if my bewigged and bibled visitor had a hawkers licence?

Doctors, drugs cheaperDoctor visits and drug prescriptions are

cheaper for more Waikato people with the latest phase of the government’s primary health care programme.

Hamillton East MP Dianne Yates says the roll-out of lower cost primary health care visits and capped fees on most prescribed medicines for all 18-24 year-olds enrolled in Primary Health Or-ganisations (PHOs) should benefi t around 19,100 people in the Waikato DHB’s area.

The latest age group will join about 40,100 peo-ple in the 65-plus age group who have had access cheaper doctor fees and $3 prescriptions since July last year. Around 61,400 6-17 year olds have been eligible for these benefi ts since 2003.

“It makes sense to extend the lower cost scheme to the 18 to 24 age group as they often have high mental and sexual health needs and tend to earn less. It’s also important to establish a lifetime habit of seeking help for problems early, before they become bigger health issues,” said Dianne Yates.

By Chamber of Commerce executive officer Michael Cox.

A combined changeo-ver night saw the Ro-tary and Inner Wheel Clubs of Kihikihi farewell their popular and hard working presidents, Cobber Weinberg and Kathryn Badrick.

Mrs Badrick handed over the Inner Wheel leadership to incoming joint presidents, Jus-tine Baxter and Joyce Smart and wished them every success. She thanked secretary, Kaye Thorburn, treas-urer, Margaret Garrett and the committee for their support through-out the year.

Two new members had been signed up, a number of charities assisted, interesting speakers enjoyed and times of friendship shared with Hamilton East Club and visitors from other Inner Wheel clubs.

The club had been pleased to nominate Ruth Cunningham as second vice chairman in District 293.

Rotary Club presi-dent Cobber Weinberg thanked secretary, Dudley Cunningham, treasurer, Stuart Law and all club members for carrying out their various responsibilities during the year.

A new format was tried, whereby instead of having different com-mittees each member had a special responsi-bility for the different projects tackled by the club and their collec-tive support ensured it worked well.

Mr Weinberg said his year in offi ce had been an enjoyable and memorable one.

He handed out spe-cial commemorative certifi cates to members signed by the interna-tional president, Glenn Estes and District Governor 9930, Bruce Scott to mark their membership during the Rotary Centennial Year 2004/05.

Mr Weinberg handed over the chain of offi ce to incoming president, Len Coles and wished him a successful year.

Peter Robertson thanked Mr Weinberg on behalf of the club for being a ‘caring, thoughtful and suc-cessful president’, which was carried by acclamation.

New president, Len

Coles introduced his team - vice president, Ian Wards, secretary, Dudley Cunningham, assistant, Esme Bash-ford, treasurer, Ian

Maxted and sergeant, Dave Southcombe, with each member once again allocated special responsibilities for projects.

Caravans and motorhomes are making a strong return to the leisure market - something not seen since the 1970’s.

That’s good news for local fi rm Waikato Caravans.

The new business operates from the premises formerly used by Waikato Fibreglass in Bond Road and is operated by brothers Lance and Richard Sisson.

The brothers have recently shifted here from Auckland, buying the business from their father.

Lance carries out design work and interior fi ttings, while Ri-chard mostly works on the en-gineering and exterior.

Both began work in the industry as soon as they left school.

Lance admits it was ‘just a job’ when he started eight years ago.

“But it has become a passion for us - we now enjoy creating top of the line motorhomes and caravans.”

Their ‘Prestige’ models have features that set them apart - including natural oak veneer fi nish, moulded fi breglass front and rear panels, as well as washboard side panelling.

Inside the ‘sky’s the limit’ when it comes to what you can have - in fact ‘Sky’ is often included.

“People want most of the com-forts they have at home - that includes Sky satellite TV in some cases.

“We’ve had all sorts of things to work around - including an electric organ in one case.

“Each model has a base lay-out, with full cooking facilities, shower, toilet, beds etc as standard, but the options after that are endless really. Each caravan or mo-torhome is modifi ed to suit its owner and

their lifestyle.“We’re happy to discuss op-

tions with prospective clients and people are welcome to come down and see us - it’s an open book around here.”

As well as creating the caravans and motor homes, the business still has a fi breglass shop operating and a joinery shop.

“We get regular requests for fi breglass repairs and construc-tion work, as well as work on items such as

bumpers, horse fl oats and boats.”

The workshop also uses vacuum bag technology, much like used on yachts, to produce strong bonded boards for use during construction.

For further details or enquir-ies contact Waikato Caravans (ph 871 6400) or call in to the workshop (469 Bond Road) be-tween 7.30am and 5pm Monday to Friday or 8am-12 noon on

Saturdays.

Six of best sinks BsRobbie Matthews was in magical form scoring

six goals for Te Awamutu Sports in women’s divi-sion one Intercity hockey.

The former Black Sticks international spear-headed Te Awamutu A to a 9-0 demolition of the Te Awamutu Sports B team, Bradley’s Bunch, on Saturday.

Bouncing back from last week’s loss to Aces, Te Awamutu A relished the return of Matthews at centre-half.

Her double hat-trick will no doubt see her heav-ily marked in their remaining games against Tech and Varsity.

Michelle Whitehead, Rose Jeffares and Nerroly Hay completed the scoring.

Te Awamutu showed glimpses of title winning form but coach Betty Dellaway is not getting car-ried away.

“We’ll be taking one game at a time,” she says.In women’s division two matches, Te Awamutu

Blue slipped from second to fourth on the table after being outclassed 6-0 by Counties side One-whero Pukekohe.

Te Awamutu Green scored a well-deserved 2-0 victory over Ngaruawahia in division three.

Mandy van Schagen made an immediate im-pact off the bench scoring the opening goal to rock the Ngaruawahia confi dence.

Sally Davies, Erin Mitchell, Raewyn Scott and Judy Bowen competed strongly for midfi eld pos-session, while fullbacks Jude Wake and Bridget Daldy assisted a hard working stand-in goalie Zoe Wake-Hyde in thwarting any Ngaruawahia attacks.

Te Awamutu sealed victory with a goal just before fulltime.

Soccer XI set record straight

Last week’s bye proved just the shot in the arm Te Awamutu needed to produce a record winning 7-1 performance against Cambridge in Federa-tion Cup soccer.

Team manager, Ken Miezenbeek says it was fantastic result to beat Cambridge on their home turf by that margin on Saturday.

“It’s easily our biggest win in the two years that Fed Cup has been going and I can’t recall us ever winning by that many in all the years we played in Northern League.”

Miezenbeek says it was a game where Te Awamutu’s attack and pressure led to goals and ‘well taken goals they were’.

Hamon Mackay scored his fi rst hat-trick of goals all before halftime, while Carl Miezenbeek, Tim Ball, Mathew Miller and Chris Smith also found the back of the net in the second half.

Goal of the match saw Mackay receive the ball on the right wing, run down the touchline, cut in at the bye-line and sneak his shot between the goal-post and the keeper.

Smith’s goal was a beauty too - chipping the keeper, who was off his line, from 25 metres out.

Miezenbeek and Ball scored with headers from Andrew Ryan corner kicks.

Te Awamutu are at home this Saturday to Ngongotaha.

The Reserve Team was beaten 3-1 away to Hamilton West, with Jason Kraayvanger the goal scorer. The Third Team drew 1-all at home against Claudelands Rovers.

The women were beaten 2-0 by Hamilton Wan-derers. Player of day was Rachel Westend. GOAL SCORER Mathew Miller. 186059AD

Matua takes to ring

NEW ZEALAND rugby star Matua Parkinson made a surprise appearance at Te Awamutu Sports Boxing Club to do some sparring in preparation for his ‘Fight for Life’ debut. Parkinson and Welsh rugby player Mark Jones will square off in the fifth Schick Quattro Fight for Life spectacular, broadcast live on TV3, 7.30pm, from North Harbour Stadium tonight. This year’s theme is New Zealand versus Britain, with some of the biggest names in sport throwing their hats into the ring. The event is staged annually to raise money and awareness for the Meningitis Trust. Parkinson is pictured with TA Sports boxers (from left) Zig Zag Wallace, Topsi Wallace, Sheldon Whalley and Rangiputa Wallace. Photo supplied

Te Awamutu Sports Boxing Club has its own Barmy Army member - 25-year-old Englishman Kevin Bates.

Bates was one of the star attrac-tions on the 19-card programme at the club’s annual boxing tourna-ment.

He won a majority decision over Shaun Kelly of Papatoetoe in their senior light heavyweight bout.

Bates kept the pressure on his op-ponent throughout the three rounds, showing what a prospect he is for the future.

Te Awamutu Sports Club treas-urer and publicity offi cer, Ginnie Wallace and her son Zig Zag met Kelly at a tournament in Gisborne several years ago but had not been in contact with him since.

“Out of the blue came this phone call, recently, from Shaun to says he was in New Zealand and wanted to box for Te Awamutu Sports,” says Ginnie Wallace.

His boxing is playing second-fi ddle to the Lions tour at present. He and his Pommie mates are among those travelling around the country in mo-tor homes. He was at the fi rst test in Christchurch and will be at Eden Park for the third test.

Kelly was one of four Te Awamutu Sports boxers to win their bouts

against opposition from as far afi eld as Palmerston North and Gisborne.

Aryk Whalley put up a convincing performance for a unanimous win over Saige Maangi (Rotorua central) in a 39kg junior open bout.

Tyson Whalley won by a major-ity decision over Tony Taurere of Palmerston in a 54kg junior open contest.

The third member of the Whalley family on show was young Sheldon.

Although well beaten by Emilio Gush of Palmerston North, the judg-es awarded Sheldon the ‘Best Local Boxer of the Tournament’ trophy for his courage and effort against a much stronger opponent.

Rangiputa Wallace fought highly-rated Maria Motu from Auckland Central.

Wallace kept the pressure on throughout the bout.

Good use of her boxing skills saw her prevail by a majority decision.

Zig Zag and Topsi Wallace were unlucky not to get match-ups for the tournament.

The boxing club wishes to thank all the local sponsors who give them such great support every year, Dr Fraser Hodgson for the time he spends annually at the weigh-in do-ing all the medicals, and the local St John Ambulance.

Leaving the planning and building to the experts is good idea, but don’t forget you are the one who has to live in the fi nished result.

So make sure you’re not going to be inconven-ienced by doors that open the wrong way or taps that you can’t reach anywhere except inside the bath.

There are some design basics which you need to take into account when looking over the plans for your new home while they are still on paper and not on site, where it’s harder to change them

Make sure any door is not going to hit a permanent fi xture, such as a bathroom vanity and make sure you have space to open the door to get into the shower cubicle.

If there is fl oor space between fi xtures, make sure it is at least 150mm in depth, otherwise it will be too hard to clean.

You need at least 530mm of clear space in front of a toilet and 380mm from the centre of the toilet bowl to any wall fi xture on either side.

Make sure ventilation in areas such as bathroom and laundry is adequate. Bigger windows if there is low light, preferably some type of mechanical ventila-tion otherwise - mould is one of the biggest problem in New Zealand homes today.

Check that you are going to be able to reach both the taps in your shower or bath without having to vir-tually stand in the utility to do so.

Don’t allow the shower head to permanently face the shower door, make sure the unit has a head which can be moved to one side.

Consider placement of heated towel rails, shelves or mirrors and make sure your linen cupboard has enough shelves to house everything you need it to.

Te Awamutu Courier, Thursday, July 7, 2005 PAGE 13Te Awamutu Courier, Thursday, July 7, 2005

When it comes to getting your washing dry, wet weather is nightmare stuff.

You spend your free time swapping the wet washing from the machine for the damp washing from the line for the dry washing in the garage or drier and the nearly aired selection in the hot water cupboard.

And short of running up the power bill by using the drier constantly, there are no sensible solutions

What you can change is the mountain of laundry that meets you every time you open the laundry door The problem is what to do with the ‘debris’ while you’re waiting for the weather to clear.

The solution is simple and inexpensive and comes in a dozen forms.

Specialist plastic and homeware shops used to supply the plastic laundry caddie in white and one size only. These days you’ve got choices - sizes and shapes to fi t almost any space or corner and in many colours to blend in with the walls.

And if space is really tight, you can opt for a laundry storage system that disap-pears when it’s not in use, a fabric bag on folding legs that lies fl at and sits in the bottom of the laundry cupboard when not in use. Some of these even have separate compartments for whites, coloured and knitwear.

Since you’re clearing space in the laun-dry, take a few extra steps to give yourself room to move.

Irons and ironing boards can hang on walls or inside cupboard doors, or you can fi t a fold down board that fl ips out only when it’s needed.

Somewhere in the mountain of wet day washing, there are likely to be wet shoes that have to be stored in the laundry be-cause there’s nowhere else to put them.

You can buy wire shoe racks that mount on doors. A great place to put one is the door of the hot water cupboard, where the shoes will be tidy and drying in the one operation.

Not so long ago New Zealanders had one option in automatic washing ma-chines - the standard top loading ma-chine produced by all New Zealand and Australian manufacturers.

The top loading design was argu-ably the best choice for countries where homes had separate laundries and there was plenty of room.

Now the increasing number of homes where space is at a premium has led to a demand for the traditional European machine - front loading appliances that conserve space, since driers can be stacked on top, allowing laundries to be concealed in a large kitchen cupboard or unused space in the bathroom or garage.

The range of front loading washing ma-chines available in this country has grown enormously and includes European models and front loading designs from Australian manufacturers.

Front loading machines have certain advantages over traditional choices.

In comparison to top loading machines, they tend to be quiet in operation.

Frontloading machines are also argu-ably more gentle on clothing, as the wash-ing action works by the clothes just falling through the water. And they’re very con-servative on both water and detergent.

DRIERS FOR DOWNUNDER There are differences too between

European manufactured driers and those from ‘Down Under’. The major distinction arises from the different climates they’re designed for.

European clothes driers are designed to run all day, whereas in New Zealand, you might use your drier for one load a day in the winter.

So it’s reasonable to expect a European drier to give a longer life because of the lower use in this country.

Smaller spaces result in changes to our laundries

Keeping on top of washing ‘mountain’

Waterproof wet areas

What happens behind the tiles and under the vinyl in your bathroom or laundry is probably more important than what you see on the surface.

These areas require meticulous attention to water proofi ng, because the damage happens out of sight and out of mind until it’s too late, when water invasion can necessitate a complete rebuild, sometimes including replacing rot to structural timbers and replacement of fl ooring, ceilings and wall coverings, not just in the bathroom or laundry itself but often in adjoining rooms or living space below.

How good the waterproofi ng is comes down to the quality of wall and fl oor linings.

They need to be tough and resistant to permanent damage from water, steam and heat.

LEFT:This compact, fully-functional laundry is tucked behind the bathroom door.

HAMPERS with wheels are ideal for collecting towels from the bathroom, yet still look tidy in the laundry.

BATHROOMS and laundries are two rooms that are constantly exposed to high moisture levels, steam and heat. To stay in top condition - and avoid mould or rot - careful attention to waterproofi ng is required.

Gun shooterNational points score champion Steve Vincent

was in hot form winning both championships at Pirongia Gun Club’s July shoot on Sunday.

Vincent and Peter Krippner were the only competitors to manage the possible 25 in the blue ribboned event of shooting, the 25 target single rise championship.

Honours went to Vincent after a 16 target shootoff with Krippner.

Grant Wallace headed Ross Card for third after they managed 24 in the qualifying.

Vincent, Wallace and Trevor Ewans managed the possible 25 in the Sparrow championship.

It took only a further 12 targets for Vincent to emerge the winner, with Wallace second.

Krippner took the A grade trophy match from Jim Tarrant.

Harry Shaw headed the B grade from Richard Smith and Craig Vincent.

Other results:Possibles, 10 target eye opener: S Vincent, G Wallace, P

Krippner, P Parsons, H Shaw. 10 sparrow sweep: B Apps, S Vincent, D Vincent, P Krippner. 10 pair doubles: J Tarrant. High Gun: P Krippner.

FIL Pirongia turned-the-tables on Frankton winning their eagerly awaited Waikato premier promotion-relegation rugby re-match 21-8.

After relinquishing top spot and the Fulton Hogan Cup to the city-slickers at the end of the fi rst round, the mighty Mountain Men were stoked to have gained some redemption.

The last a couple of weeks have been trying times for Pirongia. Their smallest pack in the division has been pushed around in the muddy conditions, but not this week.

Pirongia came out fi ring, putting pressure on their opposition. But it was the visitors who made the fi rst break resulting in an unconverted try in the corner.

Unfazed, Pirongia worked their way into the opposition 22 from the kickoff. A penalty was converted into points by fi rst fi ve Hamish Philburn.

Pirongia again went straight back onto attack, working some impressive backline moves with Tony Hanham prominent.

A try to winger Richard McGee gave them an 8-5 lead.

Lack of discipline cost the visi-tors when Philburn slotted another penalty right on halftime for an 11-5 scoreline.

The second half started with the Pirongia forward pack, coached by club stalwart Neil ‘Feefi ’ Findsen, up-ping the anti by stealing opposition lineout ball and making big yardage with player of the day, hooker Chris Reymer to the fore.

Sustained pressure took its toll when fullback Andrew Russo put Pirongia’s other winger Josh Taylor in at the corner.

Frankton gifted Pirongia their last try, making a hash of things trying to control the ball near their goal line. Centre Zane Padman was on hand to pounce on the loose ball to score.

FIL, Wrightson Pirongia Senior B team went down 16-5 to their Frankton counterparts.

Yellow cards dished out

Te Awamutu Marist went down 21-6 to Ma-tangi-Hillcrest in an ill-disciplined Waikato division 1B rugby encounter at Matangi Sports ground on Sat-urday.

Matangi lost three players to the sin-bin for deliberate foul play and Marist one for re-taliation.

Marist’s Richard McCandlish reports that the touch judge had his fl ag out on two other occasions but the referee wanted nothing to do with it.

The Merial spon-sored Marist team trailed 11-3 at halftime after Matangi scored from a lineout drive and kicked two penal-ties to a penalty from Dion Pryor.

The home team scored two second half tries, while Pryor kicked a second pen-alty.

Marist players to come out with credit were forwards Darrell Clarke, Puhoi Heta, John Leslie Gisborne and Jason Rowe.

Backs Dion Pryor, Jaime Potroz and Bryce Robertson stood out.

Oliver’s Panelworks and Super liquor play-ers of day were Clarke and Pryor.

Marist are away to top team Mangakino this Saturday, kickoff 1.30pm.

Primed for nationals Te Awamutu under-17 rep-

resentative netball team is brimming with confi dence on the eve of departing for the na-tional age group tournament in Wanganui.

The Wendy Heta coached, Tracey Paekau managed side remains unbeaten after strong showings at the Pukekohe Counties Power tournament and Hamilton Waikato Region on Sunday.

Te Awamutu won all three games at Pukekohe to take out their section, beating the hosts 24-8, Manurewa 16-12 and Te Raki Rae 28-9.

There were no semis or fi nal playoffs.

The reps extended their win-ning sequence at Hamilton, winning all fi ve games to again take out their section.

They beat North Harbour 21-14, Bay of Plenty 21-13, Howick Pakuranga 22-16, Taupo 30-16 and Waiuku 37-9.

Paekau says these tourna-ments served as an excellent build-up to the nationals.

“Wendy (Heta) is very pleased with the girls. It was a bonus that they played well enough to allow her to try out different combinations.”

The team leave for Wanganui tomorrow, play Saturday and Sunday. Crossovers, semi-fi nals and fi nals are scheduled for Monday.

Paekau says the reps are indebted to the many local bus-

sinesses who have assisted with their fundraising for Wanganui, especially McFall Enterprises (Andrew Macky), Paper Plus, Irvines Pharmacy, Te Awamutu Pharmacy, Bees and Buttercup.

Te Awamutu under-17 reps: Donalda Paekau (captain), Vanessa Chatfi eld, Kylie Chatfi eld, Cynthia Matchitt, Kate Powell, Jazz Emery, Elias Shadrock, Lauren Webb (College Open A), Natalie Curnow, Tracey Buckley (TA Sports).

The under-15 reps won one of fi ve games at Pukekohe.

The tournament in Hamilton was a vast improvement, de-spite the team being without shooter Shiralee Baker who was injured.

Games were closely contested and a good build up to the under-15’s national age group tournament in New Plymouth this coming weekend.

The Under-15 Development team won one of fi ve games at Pukekohe.

Their cause was not helped by having only seven players throughout the tournament.

They found the experience of playing fi ve games against skilled and polished teams at Hamilton invaluable.

After losing all three games at Pukekohe, the Year 8 reps fared better at Rotorua on Sun-day when faced with six games and only seven players.

The ‘magnicifent seven’ showed a lot of courage and skill to record two wins and a draw. The three losses were by close margins.

The Year 7 reps saved their best to last at Pukekohe, beat-ing Kaipara 14-5 after suffering two earlier losses.

They built on that success at Rotorua, fi nishing runners-up - much to the delight of coach Rachel Williamson, who was thrilled with the total team effort.

Losses to Rotorua 10-7 and Opotiki A 12-10 were offset by wins over Opotiki 10-3, Ma-niapoto 11-10 and Taumarunui 10-7.

They are now looking forward to their next tournamant on July 31.

Cogs 1 continued on their winning ways in Te Awamutu premier netball thrashing club-mates Cogs Menz 68-25.

Back to full strength, Cogs 1 outscored their opponents in every quarter at ASB Bank Sta-dium on Thursday night.

Diane Cox reports that Cogs

Menz played their best netball in the fi rst and last quarters but not even the experience of Kiri Waters at GD could stem the tide.

Kawau Tigers beat TAS Eco-lab 55-44, despite losing the third quarter by one goal.

Pirongia Meateaters found the

Marist Weka mother/daughter shooting duo of Wendy Heta and Tiana Tuuata hard to com-bat, going down 61-25.

In the fi nal game of the night, College Open A notched up an-other convincing win dealing to Bailey Ingham Wanderers 49-30.

from TicketDirect and Tracs.

It is his fi rst visit to New Zealand since The Smashing Pumpkins show in 1998.

The solo album sees Corgan warmly and vividly delivering pure expressions of love and devotion in the face of uncertainty, doubt and sorrow over shadowy guitar lines and beau-tifully lush cascades of sound.

His set list includes such melodic and haunting songs from the album as “Walking Shade,” “Mina Loy (M.O.H.)” and

“TheCameraEye.” Asked about the al-

bum’s production, Cor-gan says, “I don’t really think about production much...it’s like saying, ‘Why did you choose to wear that colour?’

“Sound to me is the way I express the shades of emotion, and this album has a lot of smeared paint...like a child who doesn’t colour in between the lines...”

To be in to win simply put your name, address and daytime contact number on the back of a standard sized enve-lope, address it to the ‘Billy Corgan Double Pass Competition’ and make sure it reaches our offi ce by 5pm next

Tuesday.
