Alf marks milestone

CENTENARIAN Alf Polglase enjoying hisbirthday celebrations.

STORYTELLER Alf Polglase has family members, brother LyallPolglase (seated) and son Seddon Polglase, with Dee Clarke fromTarahill listening intently to one of his tales.

Still sparking, telling tales at 100Tarahill Rest

Home resident AlfPolglase celebratedhis 100th birthday instyle on EasterSunday (March 27).

The magic mile-stone was sharedwith 37 family mem-bers, some comingfrom as far away asNelson.

Alfred EdwardPolglase was born inFrankton, educatedat Wardville Schooland Rotorua Boys’High School.

He worked on thefamily farm atWardville until hebought a farm at TeRahu in 1953.

Alf was the ultim-ate do-it-yourselfman.

He built his ownspeed boat and usedit to enjoy manyhours of trout fishingnear the WaipapaDam.

His first golf trun-dler was generatedout of pram wheelsand conduit afterstudying one inPercy Maughan’sshop.

He loved pullingthings to bits to findout what was wrongand coming up with asolution.

His motto was‘there is no such

word as can’t’.He and his

younger brotherLyall (just turned 90)were always tryingto outdo each otherwith new farminventions.

Alf remembersthe days of horses —taking the milk to thedump with thewagon, riding toschool, hay making,forgetting to get offthe train at Morrins-ville and having to bepicked up by thehorse and buggy atTe Aroha.

Getting his firsttractor, a John Deer,was a major event

(John Deer were notthe only wordsspoken when he triedto start it).

His favourite dogwas called ‘RA’.Apart from being agreat cattle dog RAhad the ability to fixa stare of sheer pity ifAlf failed to down apheasant.

RA was alsorequired to enter thebull paddock after abull fight to see whohad conceded.

Alf was a keensportsman,distinguishing him-self at table tennis,golf (five handicap)and AssociationCroquet.

He is a Past Presi-dent and Life Mem-ber of the Te Awa-mutu Golf Club, PastPresident of the Wai-kato Veterans’ GolfAssociation, andPast President of theTe Awamutu RotaryClub.

The prized familygolf trophy is amounted turkeybone left over from aChristmas dinner.

When his sonlived in Christ-church they had ahome and awayseries which his sonlost more than hewon.

Alf alwaysremained calmunder sporting pres-sure and was widelyconsidered by hisgolf colleagues to be apot hunter.

At age 87 he usedto grizzle about slowgolfers, forgettingthat most of themwere in their 90s.

His wife, Kath,considered herself to

be a golf widow, butgot her own backwhen she took upbridge.

Alf still takes akeen interest in allsports and is consid-ered to be a “dead eyedick” at Rest Homebowls.

He is anunashamed Canter-bury rugby fan (notthat he has ever livedthere) and to this daydelights inoutwitting his son atVirtual Rugby picks.

He lovedgardening and knewhow to pace himself.If he felt weary hewould lay down forhalf an hour and thenstart again.

After a mini-

stroke in his 80s thefamily thought hewould need to pass adriving test, butunbeknown to themhe drove the car overto Ohaupo and allround town to pre-pare for the test. Hepassed easily.

Alf believes thesecret to a long life iskeeping fit. He stilltakes his stroller outto the gate at Tarahilltwice daily.

He and Kath cele-brated 62 years ofmarriage prior to herdeath in 2000, aged82.

Alf has two chil-dren, Elaine and Sed-don, three grand-children and fourgreat-grandchildren.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

2 Te Awamutu Courier Wednesday, March 30, 2016

‘Fool’ is casting aspersions on othersIn response to the recent letter from

James Parlane, I am reminded of that oldadage, ‘better to keep your mouth shut andhave people think you a fool, than to openit and confirm their opinion’.

You Sir, are that fool.I am, and have been for the last decade,

one of the ‘minimally skilled labourers,and ex-military persons’ to which you referin your most wonderfully enlightenedobservations of the obvious demerits of thePrison Officers you hold in such contempt.

Supposedly, you would hold yourself inclose company to the ‘highly qualifiededucators’ that you say are evident amongstthe ranks of Prison Officers in foreign landsyou fail to identify, but please Sir, correct

me if I’m wrong, aren’t you the JamesParlane, ex-lawyer, struck off the LawSociety for breeches of their code of ethics.

Hardly one to be casting aspersions onthe capabilities of others, especially giventhat that opinion is largely based on thedubious testimony of an aggrieved partyencountered while attending a local garagesale, hardly equivalent to the floor of theOxford University Debating Society.

But then, as your past ravings to the TeAwamutu Courier confirm, you think your-self to be a ‘champion of the people’, thoughI don’t know how many times your failedattempts at election to Council would tellyou are seen more as a Worzel Gummidgethan a Robin Hood by the local citizenry.

For your information, my colleaguesand peers are for the most part, men andwomen not only of high moral principle,but of real courage who front up day in andday out to do a job of huge importancedespite at times great risk of personaldanger that you can only guess at, and tohave people like you cast aspersions fromthe sidelines is quite frankly intolerable tome.

So please, in future, if you can’t keepyour mouth shut, at least seek facts tosupport your outrageous views from actualplaces of learning rather than solicit themfrom the rantings of the biased at your nextcar boot sale.

KEITH SMITH

Confusing colours for fire and police vehiclesBefore coming to New Zea-

land I had worked for theHome Office Fire Department.

While there, a complaintcame from the brigades thatother vehicles did not alwaysgive way to their appliances.

A University was contrac-ted to find out why. The reportthey gave said it was becausered was not always an easycolour to see and that the mostvisible colour was yellow.

The next brigade to needreplacement appliances wasfrom Coventry and they weretherefore supplied with yellowones.

A year later they reportedthat the problem of vehiclesnot giving way had increased.

The University was againcontacted to find out why. Itreported that the general pub-lic understood that fireappliances were red so when

they saw a yellow lorry theyassumed it was a Council/service maintenance vehicle,even though it had blue ratherthan amber flashing lights.

Why am I bringing this up?Well I have noticed a red car

with what appears to be Policemarkings on it.

As it has been on the Wai-

kato Road Policing Team FaceBook page, it would seem to bea Highway Patrol car.

So, two questions for theTraffic Cops:

1. Have they had problemswith people only giving wayrather than pulling over whenthe red car is used as the publicassumes that Police cars are

white, while red is for fireappliances?

2. Are they following Darlekhierarchy with white cars forthe ranks and the red for theCommander?

If this is so, then one mustassume that Supreme Com-mander Freda Grace has a carpainted in gold.

GEOFF BOXELLEditor’s note: In November,2013 Police announced 28 col-oured patrol vehicles were be-ing rolled out across thecountry in a bid to keep roadssafe.Coloured cars are widely used inAustralia, and Police said thevehicles were chosen to increasepolice visibility on the roads.Inspector Peter McKennie ispictured with one of the then-new red patrol cars in Napier —orange cars were also com-missioned.

Technology rescues trampersIt wasn’t a particularly ‘Good

Friday’ for two adult tramperswho became lost in Pirongia For-est Park — but technology and coolheads saved them.

At about 4.30pm on FridayPolice were alerted to two adults

lost on the mountain.Police were able to make phone

contact with one of the adults andthey were able to give their loca-tion as being near Bell Track.

A Search and Rescue team wasdeployed and the trampers were

able to provide GPS coordinatesfrom their cellphone.

They were advised to stay putand were located safe and unin-jured by the Search and Rescueteam, which was able to walk themout of the park.

Rosetown researchBY DEAN TAYLOR

TC300316DT01RESEARCHER Damian Sicely is investigating the valueof our Rosetown image.

A Te Awamutu-bornand bred man is relishingthe chance to be workingalongside local people toestablish a branding forthe town.

Damian Sicely has beenengaged by the Te Awa-mutu Chamber of Com-merce to investigate factsaround the town’sbranding and report hisrecommendations to themand Council.

Mr Sicely lives andworks in Hamilton and isalso completing his Masterof Business Administra-tion degree at Waikato Uni-versity.

The research is part ofhis work for the degree.

Mr Sicely says he isnearing the end of hisresearch, but is still keento hear more views.

To date he has foundthree common themes forTe Awamutu — a strongcommunity, a small townwith a big city feel and agreat location to engage inactivities in nearby places.

Part of the investi-gation is to establishwhether the Rosetownbrand has value for TeAwamutu.

Mr Sicely says a fewpeople seem to be pushingfor a change, while thereare others keen to retainthe name.

He says it is importantto capture the identity ofthe town.

Mr Sicely is hoping tobe able to come up with a

story or a solid theme thatbusinesses will contributetowards.

He makes his finalrecommendation nextmonth, so to have your say

He has used the pro-cess for his own recoveryfrom injury and canvouch for their effective-ness.

“These chambers haveproven results for headinjuries, concussions,cartilage, tendon, liga-ment and bone injuries inthe sports arena whererecovery can take monthsw i t h t r a d i t i o n a ltherapies,” he says.

“They are commonlyused by sports peopleoverseas as well as in themajor centres in New Zea-land.”

M r j a c o b s s a y shyperbaric oxygen cham-bers are currently usedby hospitals and themedical profession totreat diabetes and a rafto f o t h e r m e d i c a lconditions with fantasticresults.

Waitomo pilots compete against finalistsWaitomo Aero Club pilots

who won their flying compe-titions at regional level inTaumarunui last October re-cently descended on Ashburtonfor the Flying New ZealandNational Championships.

The local pilots competedagainst the four other NewZealand Regional finalists intheir various events.

Conditions, although fine,were extremely demandingdue to the strong prevailing hotnorth westerly wind, makingprecise judgement essential,particularly in the forced land-ing without power andbombing events.

Evan Harris gained twosecond placings for navigation,Cecil Hickman was third for

spot landing and the wildcardforced landing and Peter Voyceplaced third in his low flyingevent.

The club is celebrating thebest ever results for pilots fromthe Waitomo Aero Club atnational level.

They say for the three clubmembers to stand up with thecountry’s best pilots is a credit

to their ability.A strong team of supporters

were at the presentation din-ner to share in the success afterfour days of competition. Thisyear the Trans Tasman Trophywas also contested at Ash-burton over aerobatics, spotand forced landings and forma-tion flying and was won by theNew Zealand team.

Visitor soars on NZ holiday

TC300316SP07AAVIATION enthusiast Hans Broeksteeg took this photo of the‘Bomb dropping and Spotlanding’ competition at the WaitomoAero Club last month.

TC300316SP07BHANS BROEKSTEEG

Hans Broeksteeg from theNetherlands was visiting fam-ily in Te Awamutu last yearwhen he stumbled across theairfield on Golf Road.

“Near the end of my lastweek in Te Awamutu, after atwo-month stay at my daugh-ter’s place, I headed out on oneof my last bike rides.

“When I cycled past theairfield on Golf Road I stoppedto watch a small plane come into land. After the safe landing,I chatted with the pilot, PaulGrayson, and explained howwe shared a passion for avia-tion.

“He kindly invited me to goflying with him the followingweek, but alas that was too latefor me as I was leaving thecountry.

“He asked me to leave myemail address, so that he couldget in touch, and promised totake me flying the followingsummer when I returned toNew Zealand.

“True to his word, just daysafter getting back in touchwith him last month, we wereon our way skyward in hisAerotourer.

“Over the rolling hills of thebeautiful Waikato, we flewtowards Te Kuiti to join otherlocal flyers at the WaitomoAero Club.”

Once landed they found a‘bomb dropping andspotlanding competition’ wasunderway.

“I was invited to take partand I had the afternoon of mylife, meeting lots of new peopleand sharing their enthusiasmfor aviation.”

Now back in the Nether-lands, Mr Broeksteeg was keento share his experience withreaders and thank Mr Grayson

for his hospitality.“I would like to thank Paul

Grayson, president of Te Awa-mutu’s Aeroclub, a Kiwi whotruly is a man of his word, forthe excellent trip.

“I’m looking forward to mynext stay in your beautifulRosetown!”

Lavinia’s sportingchoice pays offBY COLIN THORSEN

TC300316SP12TWO Patchings better than one . . . New Zealand Under 23 lacrosserepresentative Lavinia Patching (left) and New Zealand Under 23 trainingsquad member Amelia Patching.

Lavinia Patching’s decision to put hercycling career on the back burner toconcentrate on making the New ZealandUnder-23 Lacrosse team has paid off.

The 17 year old has been selected as oneof the goalies in the Anzac Tour Squad toplay an Australian representative team inMelbourne on April 25.

Patching’s former Te Awamutu Collegelacrosse coach Ursula Johnson is thrilledfor her.

“Lavinia is a combination of crazytough and insanely brave to step in front ofa dense rubber ball that can be travellingnear 80kph with nothing but a cup, helmet,stick, gloves and thin foam chest pad in herrole of goalie,” says Johnson.

“She has made a meteoric rise in thesport, having only started playing lacrosselast year.

“When she told me that she was inter-ested in being a goalie, my initial thoughtswere you’re crazy . . . but she’s picked it upand gone with it.

“Goalie is a real power-based position,well suited to Lavinia. She’s so athletic andworks hard all the time.”

A squad of 14 was named following atrial in Auckland. Patching’s sister Amelia(15) made the New Zealand Under-23 train-ing squad. The door is still open foranother four players to make the touringparty.

“Having to trial in front of the nationalselectors was a little nerve racking, but Ienjoyed the experience,” says Patching.

“I had a great time playing with themany different people at a variety ofexperience levels.”

The New Zealand team fly out to Mel-bourne on Friday, April 22.

As well as getting to play at least twomatches overseas, they will attend anAnzac Dawn Service on April 25.

A gunfire breakfast will be laid on forboth the Australia/New Zealand teams andpast lacrosse defence force members.

A short Anzac Commemorative Servicewill also be held before the commencementof the lacrosse matches.

Lacrosse is a team sport that involves afist-sized hard rubber ball that is thrown,caught and shot using lacrosse sticks.

The sticks are about a metre long andconsist of a shaft (usually metal) and aplastic head that is strung with mesh.

Players carry and pass the ball in orderto score goals.

Men’s field lacrosse involves 10 playersper team on the pitch while women’slacrosse involves 12 players.

In men’s lacrosse, helmets, armpads,gloves and other padding are used as bodychecking and stick checking is legal. Bodychecking is not legal in women’s lacrosse.

The pitch is about 100 metres x 50 metresand players can carry and pass the ballbehind the goals which are around twometres x two metres.

Over the last decade, lacrosse has beenintegrated into many schools’ athleticcurriculum, with more than 20 schools and500 players participating in the AucklandSecondary Schools League.

Around 900 school children across NewZealand are learning and playing the sport,or its modified version of ‘Modcrosse’ atyouth level each year.

National leagues are constantly grow-ing with associations in Auckland, Well-ington, Hamilton and Canterbury. Clubteams from each region compete in theofficial national tournament held annuallyin January.


Young rider invited to World Cup

TC300316SP13RISING showjumping star Emily Hayward-Morgan looks a little apprehensive approaching one of the big jumpsaboard Yandoo Lady Gold in Lady Rider of the Year at the Horse of the Year Show in Hastings.

BY COLIN THORSEN

Te Awamutu’s youngshowjumper EmilyHayward-Morgan is oneseriously talented rider.

The 16 year old hasbeen invited to compete atthe Elysian Fields WorldCup Show in Queensland.

The ShowjumpingClassic is a cash-richaffair with total prizemoney of $125,000 at stakefrom April 15-24.

Hayward-Morgan willcompete at Young Riderlevel on a borrowed horse.

The Rosetown teenagermade history at the 2016Farmlands Horse of theYear Show in Hastings,becoming the youngestever rider to compete inthe Olympic Cup in the 78years history of the event.

Fifteen started theclass , with 12combinations with fourfaults or fewer comingback for the second round.

Hayward-Morgan,aboard AP Ninja, was oneof them.

International coursedesigner Werner Deegraised the ante in thesecond round, with fencesup to 1.57m.

Clears were far lessforthcoming, with onlyHayward-Morgan andthree other vastly moreexperienced riders thanher leaving everything inplace, Amanda Wilson(Hikurangi) aboardShowtym Cassanova,Helen McNaught -

McFarlane (Taupo) onCarnutelabryere andJames Arkins (Aus) on hisKiwi bred RosthwaiteVigilante II. However,Arkins and Hayward-

Morgan each carried fourfaults from their openingrounds.

McNaught-McFarlanebecame the first Britishrider to win the Olympic

Cup, with Wilson therunner-up and Hayward-Morgan placing a highlycreditable seventh ondebut at this level.

The winner had plenty

of praise for her youngerrival.

“That was a great classout there,” she said.

“This is the show we allgear up for. This is where

it is at.”It topped off an excel-

lent season for Hayward-Morgan, who earlier inthe HOY took out Inter-mediate Rider of the Yearfor the second year run-ning on Wasabi, as well asplacing third on AP Ninjain the Young Rider of theYear, second in theNorwood Gold Cup, andeighth in the Lady Riderof the Year on YandooLady Gold.

The IntermediateRider of the Year requireda jump off involving 11riders. Hayward-Morganwent clear both rounds towin by around threeseconds.

It is estimated up to60,000 people streamedthrough the gates at HOYto watch the best horseand riders from across 14disciplines battle it out fortop dog titles.

Hayward-Morgan cur-rently sits atop of both thenational seriesleaderboards for YoungRider (up to 21 years ofage) and Junior Rider (upto 18 years) with threerounds remaining, thirdin the New Zealand GrandPrix Series, and is work-ing towards a top six fin-ish in the New ZealandSuper League Series.

She already has theseason-long Ties Series(Thoroughbreds in Eques-trian Sport) title in hersafe keeping, havingtriumphed on her triedand true AP Ninja.

THE SCHEME HAS7 LICENSECLASSES:

What is an LBPLBPs are designers, carpenters, brick and blocklayers, roofers, external plasterers, site and foundation specialists who have been assessed to be residential building’s structure or weathertighness.

What are LBPs?In November 2007 the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment (MBIE) (formerly Department of Building and Housing) established the licensed building practitioner scheme under the Building Act 2004.This scheme sets out a regulated process where skilled and/or qualifi ed building practitioners must demonstrate their ability to meet industry consulted competencies in order to obtain the status of being LBPs.

When you need an LBPIf you’re thinking of getting building or renovation work done on your house or apartment, you need to check if it’s ‘restricted building work’ (RBW). If it is, you’ll need a licensed building practitioner – or LBP – to do it.Restricted building work involves the building’s structure, weathertightness, and design of fi re safety systems.Because this work is so important, it’s only allowed to be done by licensed building practitioners (LBPs). LBPs are assessed before getting licensed, and have to maintain their skills to keep their licence.Restricted building work, and the requirement to use LBPs to do it, was brought in on 1 March 2012 (through changes to the Building Act 2004).

Why use an LBPHiring good professionals to help you can be crucial to the whole building experience. Licensed building practitioners (LBPs) have

undergone a robust application process, including a written application, verbal testing by profi cient assessors, and referees’ confi rmation of their work. They keep up with the changing industry and undergo continuous skills maintenance.

Managing building projectsIf you do not want to manage the building project yourself then you may want to consider engaging a Site LBP. A Site license shows competency in organising and managing building projects. This includes having up to date knowledge of regulatory requirements, technical knowledge of construction methods and practices, managing personnel and providing technical supervision. When you undertake a building project make certain that your designer is licensed or is a registered architect or a chartered professional engineer. Design work that includes RBW may not be submitted by an unlicensed person and will need to be checked by a licensed designer; registered architect or chartered professional engineer.

Why restricted building work (RBW)

is importantRestricted building work (RBW) is work that is critical to the integrity of a building. It must be done properly to ensure the building is structurally sound and weathertight.Restricted building work can only be done or supervised by tradespeople who have proven they are properly skilled – licensed building practitioners (LBPs).It is an offence for an unlicensed person to carry out or supervise RBW. It is also an offence to knowingly engage an unlicensed person to carry out or supervise restricted building work.
