Residents are beingreminded to get their recyclingbins out early on collection day.

As the contractors do nothave a set route it is impossiblefor people to estimate the timeof their arrival, so it is importantrecycling is out by therecommended time of 7am,Mrs Inglis says.

‘Good morning Te Awamutu’

TC090811CA01

TE AWAMUTU Primary School DJ’s (from left) Jack Martin, Sam Patel, Cooper Margetts and Chloe Schwass chat on air from their 107.8 FM studio.

BY CATHY ASPLIN

‘‘Good morning, Te Awamutu.... this is youreducation station, 107.8 TAPS FM.’’

Te Awamutu Primary DJ’s certainly knowthe radio ‘patter’ and have become a familiarsound in many local homes.

The TAPS radio station was officiallyopened late last term by Mayor AlanLivingston, but has been in operation sinceearlier in the year.

Te Awamutu Primary Principal GarethDuncan says the radio has provided an excitingopportunity for students.

‘‘It has given them an ‘authentic audience’and a real context to share their learning andachievements within the school and the widercommunity.’’

Each class takes turns to run the station forthe day with regular spots taken up by a groupof keen DJ’s.

The DJs broadcast notices, music, coverageof school events and interviews.

‘‘Interviews have included children’sauthor Sharon Holt, Police education officerSteve Ryburn and rugby players RomanaGraham, Jono Armstrong and Fraser Arm-strong. Mr Livingston has also indicated hewould be prepared to have a regular interviewslot on 107.8 TAPS FM.

‘‘With a band-width generally reaching asfar as Kihikihi, Pirongia and Ngahinapouri,feedback has been particularly positive.’’

The station usually kicks off around 8.30am,with DJ’s guiding guest classes throughsections of the day.

The students are increasing their broadcast-ing time this term and look forward tointerviewing local celebrities.

A positive spin-off from the broadcasts hasbeen increased numbers of people coming toevents that have been ‘advertised’ on air.

NEW FACILITIES OPENEDMr Livingston also opened a new library

and three state of the art new classrooms at thecombined launch, late last term.

The conversion of the old library into two ofthe new classrooms — with extensive decking— has created an impressive variable teachingand learning space.

A number of groups use the space, includingthe school’s popular science club and theWednesday Wonderland group, which is atransition programme welcoming early child-hood children preparing to come to school.

The developments took lengthy planningand careful consideration of the school’s futureneeds.

‘‘With the guiding vision of developingconfident, connected and actively involvedstudents, much planning and considerationwent into ensuring the school communitywould be well serviced by these upgrades.’’

Once it was decided that two newclassrooms were needed to accommodate theincreasing school roll, a decision was made tore-locate the library and use that existing spacefor the two new classrooms.

If not, submit now and say‘no’ to regional rates fundingof the velodrome.

HoCT, in a well fundedpropaganda campaign sayratepayers will pay just $3 per

year for 20 years. We say that’s$60-plus per rateable property,about $600,000 per year and a1% increase in rates across theregion every year for 20 years.

A request for such a sig-nificant rating impost hastriggered ‘special consulta-tion’ by the Waikato RegionalCouncil normally involvinginformation sent to every let-terbox, but not so. We think

the Council’s consultation hasfailed many.

Act now Waikato, have asay (you should also informyour Mayor and local council-lor how you feel, they havebeen asked by the RegionalCouncil to formally submit onyour behalf with a yes or no).

Email submissions to Wai-kato Regional Council athaveyoursay@waikatoregion-

Removal of mail, boxes causes distressA Pirongia woman who

recently had her mailboxremoved by vandals doubtsthe perpetrators realise thesignificance of their actions.

The women, who wishes toremain anonymous, says thaton returning home from hol-iday she was perplexed to findher mailbox missing.

‘‘A few questions to thelocal post lady and neighboursinformed me that children hadthought it very funny to

remove and distribute theboxes to inappropriate placesand therefore destroy the con-tents! They thought it a usefuluse of their time in the schoolholidays,’’ she says.

The concerned woman saysthere is some mail that isdifficult to replace or repli-cate.

‘‘Bills sadly return, but per-sonal letters that you are notexpecting never have the sameimpact when repeated. Hos-

pital appointments could havebeen lost etc.

‘‘Yes, we reported the theftto the police and ‘theft’ is theword I mean, even though it isclassed as ‘wilful damage’.

The personal card that waslost (I have just found out in aphone call — two weeks later)took two hours to make andwas posted so that it was thefirst thing I would see when Igot home.

‘‘It was made with much

love and thanks for the con-cert I gave for my friend’shusband’s surprise birthdayparty — he has dementia.

‘‘This loss to me distressedher and has infuriated me.’’

‘‘It is not funny to causedistress to me or other peoplein this way.

‘‘If you have been affectedby these actions you mustinform the police, otherwisehow will they know that thesethings are taking place.’’

Instant Kiwi winnerto scratch most of100K off mortgage

A Te Awamutu woman who won$100,000 on an Instant Kiwi lastweek will put most of the moneyinto early repayment of the mort-gage that she and her husband owe.

The winning ticket was pur-chased at Te Awamutu’sCountdown store, which recentlyunderwent a multi-million dollarrevamp.

The local woman wished toremain anonymous.

Many children not wearing lifejacketsThe results of an annual

Waikato Regional Councilsurvey have just beenreleased and show that toomany children under 12 arestill not wearing lifejacketson boats.

Regional councilharbourmasters and volun-teer honorary enforcementofficers surveyed 1172skippers at 30 of the region’sboat ramps between January1 and April 25 this year.

Navigation safety mana-

ger Nicole Botherway says itwas pleasing to see the major-ity of skippers were carryingenough lifejackets for allpeople onboard.

‘‘However, it’s worryingthat 19% of children sightedwere not wearing lifejacketswhen they left the boat ramp.And there were still 29 vesselswith no lifejackets on boardat all, and another 44 notcarrying enough lifejacketsfor all people on the craft.

‘‘Without question, wear-

ing a lifejacket increases aperson’s chances of survivalif they find themselves in thewater, so I find it astoundingthat skippers would endangertheir lives and those of thepeople on board their boats,especially children,’’ ‘‘Duringthis year’s survey we alsofound that most boaties carrytheir cellphone on board, but42% don’t put them in a drybag, rendering them useless ifan accident happens and theyend up in the water.’’

From page 1.Over 7,000 books had to be put into storage

while the refurbishment was carried out.After the location of the new library was

confirmed, the planning process involved manydiscussions around layout, fabric, paint selectionand furniture. Building began during the summerholidays 2010/2011.

The space was extended on either side and theoriginal windows were used to maintain thecharacter of the older part of the building.

The change of name from library to the ‘InquiryCentre’ completed the school’s vision.

Inquiry Centre manager Diane Hardy says thatit is a place of discovery and enjoyment now andfor the future.

‘‘Te Awamutu Primary now has a modern,vibrant, inviting space, where varied genre of textand e-learning tools provide a haven for inquiringminds.’’

At the launch principal Gareth Duncan acknow-ledged everyone involved and thanked the com-munity, on behalf of students and staff for thesupport given.

Other speakers included Mayor AlanLivingston, BOT chairperson Alan Taylor, staffand student representatives.

Next on the Te Awamutu Primary Schoolagenda is refurbishment of the senior classes.

Prisons and Police totarget crime together

Prison intelligence staff fromthe central North Island are forthe first time formally pairing upwith local Police to furtherdevelop their skills andstrengthen public safety.

Intelligence staff fromWhanganui and Waikeriaprisons will spend time eachweek for the next six monthswith Police intelligence staff toshare ideas relating to the collec-tion and analysis of information.

Corrections Regional Intelli-gence manager Dave Alty sayswhile the criminals may not likeit, this initiative is importantbecause it will increase publicsafety.

“It makes sense that we betterunderstand the differentmethods of gathering and analys-ing information. Also, this gives

us the opportunity to see whatactivities Police are working on.Some of the intelligence wegather from prisons has a link toactivity in the community thatPolice might be working on. Byworking together and sharingskills and information we cankeep our communities safer.‘‘

Currently Corrections intelli-gence staff analyse and monitorinformation on such things asprisoner associations, potentialcriminal activity in prison andattempted contrabandintroductions. The pairing withPolice will increase the insightinto what is going on in thesurrounding community.

“We already have a long-standing, successful relationshipwith Police but we’re now takingthat to the next level.

“The opportunity to partnerup means we can work moreclosely to address issues in thecommunity that may drivecriminal activity inside the wire.Sometimes criminal activity inthe community influences whatgoes on in prisons, and viceversa. There are many activitiesthat we can target together. If wespot emerging crime in the earlystages, we can counter it before itgrows.

“Public safety is our top prior-ity. It’s our bottom line to keepcommunities safe by makingsure offenders complete sen-tences and orders, and are heldaccount if they don’t. Increasingour work with Police, who sharethose same priorities will assistour success in reaching thosegoals.’’

Children’s perspectives key partof protecting the vulnerable

Save the Children New Zea-land says that the release of theGovernment’s Green Paper onVulnerable Children is welcomeas is any move towards improv-ing children’s rights.

‘‘Last year we launched ‘Savethe Children’s Hear Our VoicesWe Entreat’, a report thatallowed children and youngpeople to provide theirperspectives on life in New Zea-land,’’ says CEO of Save theChildren New Zealand Liz Gibbs.

‘‘They told us that New Zea-land needs to do better particu-larly in dealing with their con-cerns about child abuse,

domestic violence gangs andbullying,’’ she says.

Findings from the report alsooutlined a need for the NewZealand government to engagewith young people and it wastabled to the United Nations inOctober of last year.

‘‘It’s essential that thingschange in New Zealand.

‘‘We are not doing well by ourchildren and young people,” MsGibbs says.

‘‘The Green Paper is thiscountry’s chance to reallyaddress some of the criticalissues that confront vulnerablechildren.

‘‘Though we may not see it,every day in this country manychildren struggle against circum-stances that really hurt them andtheir long-term development.

‘‘We must do all we can to letthem express themselves andoffer their own perspectives onhow to address these issues.

‘‘As everyone knows, theseissues are not simple to fix. Theywill require real work and realcommitment if real change is tobe made.

‘‘I urge everyone to voice theiropinion at the same time as theylisten to those who are impactedmost, the children.’’

Iwi and resource managementexperts to advise on key policy

Waikato Regional Council willincorporate a Maori viewpointinto hearing and deciding theregion’s most significantresource management policyframework.

The council last week decideda six-member hearing committeewould be appointed to considersubmissions on the proposedRegional Policy Statement (RPS)from early next year.

The panel will comprise threecouncillors, including thechairperson of the policy andstrategy committee, an independ-ent chair with specialist exper-tise in resource management lawand an independent com-missioner with expertise in

tikanga Maori.In addition, the council would

give effect to its co-governancearrangements under river Treatyof Waitangi settlement legislationby inviting the Waikato RiverAuthority to nominate and fund acommissioner to the panel.

Chairman Peter Buckley saidthe council valued its relation-ships with iwi and had consid-ered several options for balanc-ing its statutory and democraticaccountabilities, whileeffectively incorporating iwivalues and issues into decision-making.

‘‘Council is committed toworking with our iwi partners torepresent Waikato communities

and ensure we protect ourenvironment while enabling theregion to be economically com-petitive. The RPS will be our mostimportant piece of policyencompassing the council’s threekey areas of focus — sustainingland and water values,facilitating regional developmentand meeting co-governancerequirements — so we have to getthe best people for the job.

‘‘As well as ensuring appropri-ate representation, we will beappointing people who are quali-fied and experienced in theResource Management Act.’’

The hearing committee isexpected to sit for 120 days at anestimated cost of $860,000.

Family shocked at senseless killing of pet

TC090811SP07

FAMILY pet ‘Duck Duck’ (complete with decorative collar) in a photo taken last month.

BY CATHY ASPLIN

A pet duck that waskilled by young boys using amachete has horrified TeAwamutu resident Rae Hall.

‘‘That’s a really sickthing to do and has left uswondering what else theseboys are capable of.’’

Mrs Hall says the KhakiCampbell duck belonged toher granddaughter and wasone of several pets on theproperty.

‘‘My daughter was givensome fertilised eggs to hatchand we thought they wereall chickens.

‘‘But one turned out to bea duck and it was picked onmercilessly by the hens, somy nine-year-old grand-daughter decided to lookafter it and named it ‘DuckDuck’

‘‘Essentially she becamethe mother duck and every-where she went, Duck Duckwent too.

‘‘They went for walkstogether, to town togetherand if she came to my place,Duck Duck came too.’’

‘‘We thought eventuallythe duck would fly away, butit was so well looked after itwas quite fat and couldntfly, so it just stayed andbecame part of the family.’’

The property was fencedfor the family dog so theduck was never going to gofar.

‘‘Actually the dog andduck got on so well theywandered around togetherand even slept together.’’

So when the family camehome two weeks ago to findthe duck and most of thechickens missing they wereperplexed.

‘‘My daughter rang me tosay Duck Duck was missingand she couldn’t understandit as it couldn’t fly and thefence stopped it from wan-dering off.

‘‘She also found pieces ofconcrete and oranges scat-tered all over the section, sowas concerned what hadhappened.’’

The family, searched andcalled for the duck but foundnothing.

So the following day

neighbours joined thesearch.

To their horror theyfound Duck Duck in a drain,in paddocks behind theWarburton Crescent prop-erty, mutilated with its headchopped off.

While the neighbourswere dealing with their findthey saw some young boyscome though fromWarburton Crescent andthey arrived near the ditchcarrying a machete.

‘‘The neighbours askedthem what they were up to,but got little response, sothey rang the Police.’’

Mrs Hall says the threeboys aged between 9 and 11later admitted they hadkilled the duck with amachete and went back forthe chickens.

‘‘It seems they had peltedthe dog with oranges andhunks of concrete to keep itaway while they grabbedthe duck and some chickens.

‘‘They killed at least oneof the chickens, tied it upand threw it into a hopper atMcFalls yard.

‘‘My granddaughter isgutted by the loss of theduck and we are sickened by

the nature of the attack.’’Te Awamutu Police say

the three boys are too young

to appear in the Youth Courtand are being dealt with bythe Youth Aid officer.

Kids get ready for Calf Club, with help from LICIt’s calving time and that means

children all around New Zealandare making some very importantdecisions for their upcoming CalfClub event.

Registrations of school andcommunity events are pouringinto LIC’s website,www.calfclub.co.nz, althoughthere’s only a few from the SouthIsland so far.

Clare Bayly, communicationsmanager, says the dairy farmer co-op wrote to more than 1000

schools, inviting them to registertheir event at www.calfclub.co.nzso LIC can attend and present achampion-style ribbon to the win-ning animal.

‘‘Since being launched in 2003,www.calfclub.co.nz has becomeknown as a reliable source ofinformation on the selection,training and showing of calves fora wide range of groups, and thou-sands of students log on eachyear,’’ she says.

‘‘Teachers and parents simply

don’t always have the time neededto be there when their childrenhave questions about their calvesor lambs.

"The website provides the kidswith the answers they need, attheir fingertips and they can thenapply that learning in the paddockwith their pets.”

Calf Club is an important timeof year for many rural families,and the benefit for them is muchmore than the bond the childrendevelop with their pets.

‘‘Owning, caring and trainingyoung animals fosters humanvalues needed in all walks of life,like motivation, commitment,responsibility and compassion.

‘‘Many adults today, in the cityor country, look back with nostal-gia on the fun they had, either aschildren or parents, at Calf Club.

‘‘LIC staff also get a hugeamount of satisfaction and havelots of fun attending their localand much loved communityevents.

‘‘LIC is also re-launching itsannual www.calfclub.co.nz artcompetition this month, withinformation going to schoolssoon.’’

Ms Bayly says she is confidentthat South Island entries will pickup in time.

“Calf Club is a rural traditionin New Zealand and given thatSouth Island cow numbers havemore than doubled since 1999, weare sure that schools down therewill be holding events.’’

Mutu Street fire starts in kitchen

TC090811CA03

TE AWAMUTU firefighters carry a positive pressure fan into a Mutu Sreet house, watched by residents.

BY CATHY ASPLIN

An unattended potleft on the stove resultedin moderate damage to aMutu Street home lastweek.

Two Te Awamutuappliances attended thecallout at lunchtime onWednesday.

Firefighter MurryGillard says when thebrigade arrived theflames had gone up thewall and into the ceilingcavity.

The brigade used apositive pressure fan toremove some of thesmoke from the home.

One person had to betreated for smoke inha-lation after entering thehouse, when the fire hadfirst been detected, tosee if anyone was stillinside.

Prepare well when motoring in wintry conditionsWintry conditions have

been causing chaos all overthe country with numerousroad closures due to heavysnowfall and ice.

Vehicles have been slidingoff the road due to treacherousconditions, highlighting theneed to check weatherforecasts and to be prepared.

Good vehicle preparation,knowledge and driving tech-nique are critical to ensureyour journey is as safe, enjoy-able and hazard-free as pos-sible.

Is your vehicle approach-ing the time for its next sched-uled service? If so, don’t put itoff. Book your vehicle in for acheck with your local MTAmember business. The experts

know what to look for — oillevels, wiper blades, filters,battery and tyre pressureamongst other things. Bydoing this you’ll have peace ofmind in knowing that yourvehicle is ready for theconditions.

Experience shows that if acar is going to fail, it’s mostlikely to do so when in theharshest operating conditions— and for most owners, that’sthe winter months.

All the control you have isdelivered through four palm-sized patches of rubber wherethe tyres meet the road.

Make sure your tyres areproperly inflated. Over-inflation can reduce the grip-ping action of tyres because

the tread will not meet theroad surface as it wasdesigned to do.

If you’re going to be drivingin the snow, make sure youhave the correct chains andsnow tyres (if fitted) — it’snow the law that when you usesnow tyres that all four are infact snow tyres.

When you’re driving inwintry conditions it is essen-tial to keep the tyres rollingand not allow them to spin orslide.

Reduced visibility meansyou have to budget extra timefor every drive.

Before you hit the roadmake sure you can see out ofevery window and mirror.

Use a proper windscreen

scraper or de-icer to removeice from your vehicle. Don’tuse hot water — this maycause your windscreen tocrack.

People often only associateair-conditioning with stayingcool during the summermonths, but it’s equally vitalfor ensuring good visibilityduring the colder months. Getyour system checked.

And make sure people cansee you. Ensure your lightsare all working properly andare correctly adjusted. Getthem on early and turn themoff late; you may choose tokeep them on at all times.Remember to keep themdipped when travelling infoggy conditions.

Devilskin playing forSt John Ambulance

TC090811SP09

DEVILSKIN, from left, Paul Martin, Jennie Skulander, Rob McWhannell and The Nail, are auctioning aconcert to raise money for St John Ambulance.

A new Waikato band looking tomake a huge impact on the NewZealand music scene is launchinga novel fundraising venture thisweekend.

Devilskin features a line-up ofseasoned songwriters and per-formers, including Te Awamutu’sown The Nail from Chuganaut.

He is joined by RobMcWhannell, Paul Martin (TheAxe Attack, Knightshade, Black-jack and World War Four) andcaptivating frontswoman JennieSkulander (formerly of SlippingTongue).

The band is quickly gaining areputation for delivering a spec-tacular live show — and that isexactly what they are auctioning.

Chosen recipient of the fund-raising venture is Ngaruawahia

St John Ambulance.The Nail says Ngaruawahia St

John Ambulance is currentlylooking for support to buyreplacement medical and trainingequipment.

Devilskin hope an auction onTradeMe will help raise the pro-file of this hard working group ofmainly volunteers.

The Nail says everyone fromthe Waikato drives through theirpatch whenever they head northand may never know when theirservices may be required.

Ngaruawahia St John Ambu-lance started in 1996 and today asfour full time and nine volunteerofficers.

They attend 200 calls permonth, covering an area that alsotakes in Meremere, Port Waikato

and Huntly — and includes anotorious stretch of State High-way 1. They also provide cover forHamilton City.

The TradeMe auction that getsunderway on Saturday offers afull live performance fromDevilskin, with an opening setfrom popular Hamilton coversband Unholly Rollerz.

The show features a full profes-sional PA and light show courtesyof former Te Awamutu man ScottWilliams, owner of Scott Soundand Lighting, plus $500 cateringfrom FUEGO Restaurant.

The Nail says the show wouldbe a great opportunity foremployers or a club to put on aparty of event for clients andmembers, while helping Ngarua-wahia St John Ambulance.

Minister ensuresPlaycentre funds

Playcentre members around thecountry are delighted that EducationMinister Anne Tolley confirmed hergovernment will ensure thatPlaycentre and parent-led services donot have their funding cut as a resultof the ECE Taskforce recommenda-tions.

Mrs Tolley said the reportincluded recommendations forchanges to funding and policy set-tings — but she wanted to make itabsolutely clear that this will notresult in any funding cuts toplaycentres or parent-led ECEservices.

Playcentre is a 70 year old earlychildhood education institutionwhich was started in New Zealandand has attracted keen interest inter-nationally. Playcentres are run bygroups of trained parents whocooperatively provide education for

their children in mixed age groups.‘‘This is great news,’’ said

Playcentre Federation Co-presidentMaureen Woodhams.

‘‘The Taskforce website has anexemplar funding model whichsuggested Playcentre funding wouldbe cut by over 60%, and it’s a greatrelief for the Minister to have clari-fied that this will not occur underthis government.’’

‘‘Worrying about funding hasbeen a distraction for Playcentremembers. Instead we want to workon ensuring that our strong parentand child education model can beextended to include more familiesaround New Zealand.’’

The Playcentre Federation, mem-ber associations, and individualPlaycentre members will be provid-ing feedback on all the recommenda-tions of the ECE Taskforce report.

Booze ban for young driversStarting as they mean to continue

is the driver behind a Waikato roadpolicing initiative designed at reduc-ing road trauma amongst theregion’s newest drivers.

District Road Policing Manager,Inspector Leo Tooman, says newlegislation which came into effect onSunday meant the new blood alcohollimit for drivers under 20 is zero.

He said Police will be strictlyenforcing these new limits.

‘‘Currently the Waikato PoliceDistrict Road toll is 31 deaths from 27crashes, 11 more than the next high-est road toll in Central District.’’

Waikato’s road toll is the samenumber for the same period last year,Mr Tooman says.

‘‘Of those 27 crashes eightinvolved alcohol, drugs or both ascontributing factors while 10 of the

crashes, which claimed the lives of 12people, involved drivers aged under21.’’

Mr Tooman says the issue is allthe more topical given a Coronialhearing into a triple fatality crash inWaihi, involving a young driveralleged to have been under theinfluence of alcohol, was held inHamilton last week.

‘‘In line with the lowered alcohollimit, the age drivers can obtain alicence rose last week from 15 to16-years-old.

‘‘It’s all about reducing roadtrauma and trying to buy our newestroad users some time to build uptheir experience and skill levels,even small amounts of alcohol canimpair the ability of young driverswho are still trying to develop theirskills on the road.’’

food like whitebait, trout, mullet,duck, watercress and farmed mussels.For early Maori, wetlands were vitallarders, providing koura (nativecrayfish), tuna (eel), and raupo pollenfor delicious steamed puddings. Evenmanuka, so prevalent in the Waikatopeat bogs, is valued for its famoushoney.

Supported by Mighty RiverDomain, the event will be an oppor-tunity for the Trust to promote theirplans to build a National WetlandCentre in the Waikato, and the grouphopes a good number of local busi-

nesses and residents will come alongto enjoy a great night while helping agood cause.

Keep records of valuable itemsWaikato Police see trends with burglaries, thefts

The colder weathermeans homes are moreoften closed up to keep theheat in.

This means less oppor-tunist burglaries are beingrecorded, however,jemmying of windows isbecoming more common.

The most commonitems being stolen fromhomes in the Waikato overrecent weeks haveincluded jewellery, largescreen televisions andeasy to move electronics.

One of the most effec-tive ways of protectingyour property, and ensur-ing its return if it is stolen, isby recording andphotographing the itemsdetails.

‘‘People would prob-ably be surprised to learnjust how much recoveredproperty Police are unableto return to ownersbecause of a lack ofidentifying features orserial numbers.

‘ ‘By using suchinitiatives as ’OperationSNAP’ (Serial NumberAction Partnership) youcan record the details ofyour valuables to provideto Police.

‘‘When someone isfound in possession of alarge number of items

arresting officers can thencontact victims and estab-lish if the recovered itemsare theirs or not via photosor serial number verifi-cation.’’

SCRAP METALScrap metal thefts con-

tinue to be a problemacross the District with

several hot water cylindersbeing stolen from Hamiltonhomes and even a plumb-ing company’s yard while anumber of drain grateshave been taken from TeAwamutu and spoutingremoved from a number ofbuildings.

‘‘With the rising value in

scrap metal one person’srubbish may be anotherperson’s treasure, thievesget a fraction of an itemstrue value when it is soldfor scrap.

‘‘For instance metalstripped from hot-watercylinders fetches around$30 yet imagine the

replacement and repaircosts home-owners orland lords are faced with.

‘‘What we ask is thatpeople continue to alertPol ice to suspic iousbehaviour, if somethingdoesn’t seem right — itprobably isn’t so — give usa call.’’

Home dangersfor our children

Adults usually feel safest in their own home, but it issurprising how many hidden dangers lurk around thehome for a curious child.

FIRE SAFETYOne of the first places to start is with general

household safety such as fire safety.Install smoke alarms (and regularly change batter-

ies) and have a fire extinguisher handy. It is important tohave an escape plan that everybody in the home,especially children, are familiar with.

POISONSOne of the biggest dangers to young children is

poisons. Childhood poisonings account for about 19%of all accidents in the first four years of life.• Lock all household products and medicines out ofsight and reach of children• Keep all household products and medicines in theiroriginal, labelled containers• Return all medicines and household products to a safeplace straight after use.• Never encourage children to take their medicines byreferring to them as sweets or soft drinks.• Throw away any out-of-date medicines.

Keep the phone number for the Poisons Centreclose to the phone: 0800 POISON / 0800 764 766.

FALLS, GLASSChildren are also in danger from falls and from

breaking glass. If you have stairs make sure you installa gate with a childproof catch

Most homeowners are opting for big windows andsliding glass doors in their homes but without safetyglass, these windows and doors can be a danger forchildren.

Children have a lot of energy and often run aroundinside the house. If they trip or run into the door thinkingit is open when it’s not, they can end up with someterrible injuries. It is therefore a good idea when buildingor renovating to specify safety glass in your plans.

ST JOHN COURSETaking a St John First Aid course is a great idea. This

will ensure you do the right things, without panicking, ifyour child has an accident of any sort.

Bob Blackwood has been anactive playing member at KawhiaGolf Club for 60 years.

‘‘It wouldn’t be the same if wedidn’t see his overly bright yellowscooter, towing a trundler and bag,tootling off down the fairway on alovely sunny day at Kawhia,’’ saysclub secretary, Diane Scott.

‘‘You might even hear Bob hum-ming a tune as he heads off after hisball.’’

Blackwood says he has witnessedmany changes, including three dif-ferent club houses, since he startedplaying at Kawhia in 1951.

Besides being made a life mem-ber, he has officiated as club captain,handicapper, green keeper andbecame a very active Eagle member30 years ago.

He is also a fine player in his ownright, having won many club cham-pionship matches over the past sixdecades, and been an integral part ofthe Prebble Cup team for manyyears.

Gibbes getting plenty of kudosfor Leinster Heineken Cup win

New Zealand Herald Photograph by Greg Bowker

FLASHBACK: Waikato’s Jono Gibbes (left) and Steven Bates (both former Te Awamutu Sportsplayers) walk around Waikato Stadium after Waikato won the final of the 2006 Air New ZealandCup by defeating Wellington 37-31. Gibbes’ brother Chris (Te Awamutu) is the current WaikatoITM Cup coach in the national provincial championship.

BY COLIN THORSEN

Co-coach transforming forwards into dynamic unit

Former All Black JonoGibbes — a folk hero inMooloo-land — is now ‘walk-ing on water’ in Dublin.

The Waikato rugby legendfrom Te Awamutu has beenLeinster’s forward coach sincesigning a deal in the summerof 2008.

It’s been golden era forLeinster with Gibbes at thehelm, having been crownedEuropean champions twicewinning the Heineken Cup in2009 and 2011, and MagnersLeague runners-up for the pasttwo years.

Despite completing Level 2NZRU coaching principlescourses in New Zealand,Gibbes believes his realcoaching qualifications havecome from working with someof the best practitioners in thegame, including JohnMitchell, Warren Gatland andSteve Hansen.

Avid Leinster supporterEoin Lenehan, who lived in TeAwamutu for nearly nineyears, says having Gibbes onboard has certainly helped totransform the forwards (andteam) into a much moredynamic unit.

‘‘You can readily see thesimilarities I saw with thechampion Waikato NPC team(2006) back row of Bates, Holahand Lauaki and the Leinsterback row of Heaslip, O’Brienand Jennings.

‘‘They both were/are veryabrasive running back rowsand excellent in the break-down area.’’

Lenehan (whose wifeSinead was a graphic designerat Te Awamutu Courier) saysLeinster captain Leo Cullen isa very similar player to Jonohimself — coming to the end ofhis career but a great leader ofhis team and effective playeras Jono was for Waikato.

Former Auckland NPCfullback Isa Nacewa is alsocarving a great career in theblue jersey of Leinster —‘‘what would we do without allthese Kiwis,’ ’ quippedLenehan.

Leinster staged a remark-able comeback in this year’sHeineken Cup final at theMillennium Stadium inCardiff to beat (another of TeAwamutu’s favourite sons)Bruce Reihana’s English sideNorthampton.

Trailing 22-6 at halftime,Gibbes’ mob clawed their wayback to secure a famous 33-22

victory to land their secondEuropean crown.

It is widely regarded as thegreatest comeback inHeineken Cup history.

The result also madeLeinster the top ranked side inEuropean rugby for the firsttime, knocking Munster offthe top of the table.

Leinster’s semi-finalHeineken Cup clash againstMunster, won 25-6, at CrokePark set a world record attend-

ance for a club rugby uniongame with a crowd of 82,208 —what Waikato would do toattract a crowd even a quarterof that size nowadays?

En route to winning theHeineken Cup, Leinster beatthe top three ranked teamsfrom the English premiership,including the defending cham-pions (Leicester Tigers,Saracens and NorthamptonSaints) and the top two Frenchtop 14 sides, including the

defending champions and alsothe defending European cham-pions (Stade Toulousain,Racing Metro and ClermontAuvergne).

This was arguably thetoughest collection of fixturesto have been overcome by anyHeineken Cup winning side.

The year before Gibbes’ tookover as forwards coach,Leinster failed to qualify out oftheir pool for the Heineken Cupbut won the Magners League.

New black belts kick start celebrations

TC090811SP15

MISSION accomplished for new first dan black belts, from left, Brian Ricketts, Seamus Holloway, FinnHolloway and Hine-Anahera Nolan. Missing from photo: Greg Gatchell.

Te Awamutu Taekwon-Do Clubhas launched its 25th anniversarycelebrations in the best possibleway — training up five more mem-bers to become first dan black belts.

The club, formed on February 13,1986, now has five 1st degrees andfive more senior black belts, in all,making Te Awamutu the envy ofmany much bigger clubs through-out the country.

Greg Gatchell started the ballrolling passing his test at Waiau PaSchool in Auckland. Examinerswere Master McPhail and MasterBhana.

Brian Ricketts then graded tofirst dan at Auckland GrammarSchool, where the examiners wereMcPhail and Master Rimmer,assisted by Peter Graham.

Completing the quintet of newfirst dan black belts — FinnHolloway, Seamus Holloway andHine Nolan successfully graded atTe Puna School Hall in Taurangaunder examiners, McPhail andRimmer.

‘‘Like several parents, I beganTaekwon-Do because my son wasdoing it,’’ says Ricketts.

‘‘Now he’s doing something else,but I continued because I havefound a good personal connectionwith the philosophy of the art — theself discipline it requires, and ofcourse all those other students,young and not-so-old.’’

Ricketts’ goal was to attain firstdan black belt status by the time hehad reached 60, something he hasachieved.

And his next goal ... second dan.Seamus Holloway’s interest in

Taekwon-Do began when aged nine,in Te Kuiti where his older sisterconvinced him to join the local club.

‘‘Right from the outset, I wasencouraged by the black belts there.

‘‘They were friendly and helpful,and I soon realised that I, too,wanted to someday gain my blackbelt.’’

A move to Te Awamutu saw the

Holloways join the local club.‘‘Even though they had a differ-

ent style, the friendly environmentwas still the same,’’ says SeamusHolloway.

Taekwon-Do is now a large partof his life.

He hopes to open his own club inthe future and pass on what he hasbeen taught to other people.

‘‘Taekwon-Do is definitely some-thing that I would encourage othersto join,’’ he says.

Finn Holloway (16), the youngest

of a family of eight, is a pupil atSaint John’s College in Hamilton.

Having started the art aged nine,Holloway says he had to prioritiseTaekwon-Do over a lot of otherthings in order to reach black beltstatus.

TKD quickly became his favour-ite sport.

‘‘I can proudly say that it was allworth it — sacrifice is the key tosuccess.’’

Holloways says TKD is not just aform of fighting, it is like a lifestyle.

‘‘What I have come to learn isthat the Do-Jang (training area) andthe outside world are the sameenvironments in the way that themembers are expected to practisethe tenants of TKD in real life —courtesy, integrity, perseverance,self control, and indomitablespirit.’’

He is to compete at this year’snational championships andbelieves, with a lot of hard work, hecan make it to the worlds in thefuture.

‘‘It is great that TKD gives all ofits members opportunities to entertournaments, camps and seminarsfor all levels.’’

Te Awamutu College Year 11student Hine-Anahera Nolan beganTKD aged 12 — ‘‘because it wassomething me and my threeyounger siblings could dotogether,’’ she says.

Last year, as a red belt-blackstripe, she competed at theRegionals and Oceania tourna-ments, gaining third in sparring atboth events. She followed up withsecond placing in patterns at thisyear’s Regionals.

Nolan managed an A-pass whengrading last year for her red belt-black stripe.

‘‘Normally I play netball, butthis year I chose not to so I couldfocus on training for my black belt.’’

Her training consisted of twoclub sessions, an extra sessionevery week with assistant instruc-tor Anna Hall, a specific black beltgrading training every fortnight inTauranga, as well as all the per-sonal training she did at home.

And the teenager had to balanceall that training with her consider-able school workload in her firstNCEA year.

‘‘When I found out I’d passed myblack belt I was happy for weeks ...I’m 15 and a black belt,’’ says Nolan.

This week she will be competingat the national tournament (alongwith several of her club-mates).Nolan is entered in sparring, pat-terns and female team events.

Greg Gatchell began TKD in2005.

He enjoys the challenge, thefitness aspect and the discipline itinvolves and the fact that there isalways something new to learn.

All the new first dans would liketo acknowledge their instructor IanCampbell, along with all the seniorblack belts and club members whohave contributed to helping themachieve their black belts goal.

Kaipaki community looking to future

TC090811CT01

BLACK STICKS striker Cat Finlayson with the group of youngsters she coached in hockey during Kaipaki’s School HolidayProgramme. The 22-year-old has attained 30 international caps since making her debut late 2009, including 17 this year.

BY COLIN THORSEN

CFP

JOHN PARKER, HolidayProgramme organiser, whois leading the communityproject to reinvigorate anddevelop Kaipaki Reservefacilities.

Seventeen children agedfive to 13 were coached in avariety of sporting codes dur-ing the week-long school Hol-iday Programme at Kaipaki.

The children had athleticson Monday (coached byAnnmarie McDonald,London Olympics hopeful in400m hurdles), soccer(coached by Holly Patterson,New Zealand U18 women’ssoccer rep), squash (coachedby the resident professionalsat Cambridge SquashCentre), netball (coached bySport Waikato coach) andhockey (coached by CatFinlayson, member of BlackSticks team that came thirdin the Champions Trophy inAmsterdam recently and isrealistically the third bestladies’ team in the worldright now).

The programmes run dur-ing the last week in eachholidays (four times peryear).

Former New Zealandcricket international, nowKaipaki resident, JohnParker has been organisingthe Holiday Programmes forover six years — the firstthree years at Ohaupo Schoolbefore switching to Kaipakiwhen the sports complexredevelopment started.

Parker says the desiredoutcome is that childrendevelop a range of sportingskills and understandingsthat they can use in whateversport they choose later in life.

‘‘It also provides a basisfor them to enjoy a number ofsports after competitive sportis finished, if that is whatthey choose to do.

‘‘This developing of skillsprovides the opportunity for

teenagers and young adultsto always have somethingconstructive and positive todo.’’

Parker says the rationaleof the programmes for famil-ies is that these skills are thebasis for a healthy and activelife and, while some childrenare keener than others, allchildren should take part justas they have to in maths,reading writing etc.

‘‘Few children like doingthose subjects but as they aredeemed important by the

‘system’ they are made toparticipate and improvetheir skills.

‘‘So it should be in sport asactive children/people learnbetter, socialise better, havebetter self images and livehealthier lives that costcountries less in health billsetc.’’

Parker says all countriesin the world have obesity anddiabetes issues that couldbring their economies totheir knees and New Zealandis no exception.

When the complex atKaipaki is completed (will beready for the summer) theholiday programme conceptwill be expanded to cater forall ages and abilities andprovide for the more talentedchildren as well as those whoare starting out.

Future programmes willbe influenced by the facilitiesthat the Kaipaki complex willmake available — a cricketground (and nets ) that willbe used for athletics as wellas soccer and touch in the

winter, a court area (withlights) that can be used fortennis, netball, hockey, soc-cer, an artificial chip andputt area, a petanque area,inside hall area for bowls,table tennis, badminton andgeneral exercise classes — allof which will be part of futureprogrammes at Kaipaki.

Parker says the feature ofthis facility will be a Pavilionwhere all participants canrelax between activities andgather for communityevents, including watching

world cup rugby and othersport, movies and appropri-ate presentations.

‘‘As an example of pro-grammes, other than thesports holiday programmes,that are already happening atKaipaki is the Monday nightnetball for ladies and alreadywe have a database of 30 andattracts good numbers eachweek.

‘‘No netball experience isneeded, the netball activitiesare free, no scores are keptand the ladies play when theywant and for as long as theywant and wet or fine — allwelcome.’’

All funds raised gotowards the development ofthe Kaipaki facilities.
