BRIEFLY 

Labour market 

may be turning 

The latest Business 

Confidence Survey showed the 

number of Waipa businesses 

experiencing difficulties in 

finding skilled staff in Waipa 

remained consistent at 11%. 

“This suggests the labour 

market may have reached a 

plateau,’’ says Te Awamutu 

Chamber of Commerce chief 

executive, Rachel Blake. 

‘‘Businesses will need to 

invest more time, effort and 

resources into their people if 

they expect to recruit and hang 

on to valuable talent,’’ she says. 

Waipa plan 

details inside 

If you were unable to make it 

the numerous Annual Plan 

consultation meetings provided 

by Waipa District Council, you 

can check out some of the vital 

details in today’s four page Word 

on Waipa. 

Along with a financial 

snapshot and project details, 

there is a rates indicator 

showing the effect of the overall 

5.2% increase on sample 

properties in different parts of 

the district. 

Drying up 

The absence of rainclouds in 

recent months is illustrated by 

the fact that February and March 

combined saw just over half the 

rainfall of January. 

Te Awamutu weather 

watcher Paul Hobbs reports that 

there was just 27mm of rain in 

March, following on from just 

41mm in February. 

January had 121mm, making 

it one of the wettest months in 

the 21 years that Mr Hobbs has 

been keeping records. But with 

so little rainfall in the past two 

months, the year to date total is 

now well below average at 

188.5mm.

There will be a working bee

24 from 9.30am-1pm.

Mangaohoi future in good hands 

Te Awamutu students get to grips with their town’s stream 

Mangaohoi Stream may 

have been feeling neglected 

in recent years, but it had 

plenty of new friends last 

Tuesday. 

Over 60 students and 

teachers representing six Te 

Awamutu schools participated 

in the first Mangaohoi 

Stream Activities Day. The 

event was facilitated by 

Mangaohoi Stream – Making 

the Connections Group, 

which operates under the 

umbrella of Te Awamutu 

Safer Community Charitable 

Trust. 

‘‘The day went really well 

with kids buzzing about 

what they found out about 

their stream,’’ says 

sustainability facilitator 

Robyn Irving. 

In the morning school 

groups rotated through five 

separate activities. These 

were designed as fun ways of 

helping to develop students’ 

understanding of the history 

of the Mangaohoi and what 

the current state of the urban 

stretch of the stream is. 

This knowledge was then 

used as a basis on which the 

students continued the process 

of developing a vision 

statement for the stream. 

This “visioning” process 

was led in the afternoon by 

Te Awamutu College 

environmental students. 

Student representatives 

from the six schools will 

again meet at the beginning 

of term 2 to fine tune this 

vision and develop plans for 

future actions. 

‘‘I think that the kids saw 

some negative things about 

the stream, such as very 

little natural vegetation, difficult 

access to the water and 

lots of rubbish, but they also 

got to see eels and inanga 

swimming in the stream, so 

that was really promising,’’ 

Mrs Irving says. 

‘‘They also got to measure 

the clarity of the water 

(using a clarity tube) which 

surprised some of the 

students as to how relatively 

clear it looks at this time of 

year.’’ 

Mrs Irving says 

indications from the 

students so far are that they 

want a sustainable stream 

environment that all of Te 

TC070410CT01 

KIHIKIHI PRIMARY students check the clarity of water from Mangaohoi Stream (in background) from left, back row: 

Georgia Robb, Dyani Jamieson-Te Huia, Trent Sargent, Ngaria Newton, Robyn Irving (sustainability facilitator); 

front row: Nicole Collumbell, Khelli Willison, Te Reihana Kingi, Paki Shayshadel, Abraham Mahara. 

Awamutu feel proud of and 

where local people can come 

together as a community. 

‘‘There are so many 

opportunities for learning 

with this sort of student led 

project. 

‘‘The process is as important 

as the actions that they 

choose to take, because kids 

are being supported to 

inquire, explore, grapple 

with relevant local issues, 

look at different attitudes 

and values, consult with 

others and collaboratively 

plan. ‘‘These are our future 

urban designers, ecologists 

and politicians.’’ 

An interesting suggestion 

came from one of the adults 

— in his hometown they 

collected all the rubbish 

from the stream running 

through town and dumped it 

on a reserve in the centre of 

town. 

‘‘No one dumps stuff like 

that in it any more!’’

Music to ears of a ‘non believer’ 

Although over the years I have loved 

certain pieces of classical music, I have 

always been a bit of a Philistine, in that I do 

not follow classical music as such nor even 

bothered to identify to any great extent the 

pieces I liked. 

This has all changed for me now, after 

attending the Te Awamutu Music Federation 

University of Waikato Student Recital 

in the Council chamber rooms, on a recent 

Sunday Sunday. 

The performances were all of an excep- 

tionally high level, that both enthralled 

and astonished me. 

The pieces played were so masterfully 

handled by the performers, that I felt 

emotions that I have never before considered 

that I could be moved to by classical 

music. 

I had difficulty in hearing the description 

of these artists as students, as to me 

they were all consummate masters of their 

chosen instruments. 

Not the least of these performances,

were the perfect renditions by the soprano 

whose skills with her vocal capacity made 

me gulp with emotion, and the consummate 

ease and mastery of the cello, by a 

young man who is capable of performing 

among the international best. 

If the only the wider public took the 

time to hear these ‘masters’ we call 

‘students’, very soon there would not be a 

local venue large enough to contain their 

audience. 

DENNIS PENNEFATHER 

Get off architectural high horse 

I am replying to Matt 

Whitmarsh’s letter in the Courier 

dated Tuesday, March 30. 

Mr Whitmarsh – yes, architect 

is a protected word in New 

Zealand, and the only way one 

can call themselves an architect 

is by choosing to register with 

the NZIA board. 

But as the Courier has 

already pointed out, calling Mr 

Kraayvanger an “architect” was 

the result of a 

miscommunication, which Mr 

Kraayvanger endeavoured to 

rectify. 

Cost real concern 

Re Michael Cox letter on Dihydrogen Monoxide. 

Your readers should be aware that this 

liquid is also being sold in bottled form in all 

our supermarkets, dairies, takeaways, service 

stations etc. 

Should we be concerned? Only at the cost of 

the stuff, which can be up to three times the 

cost of a litre of petrol. 

For those who wish to collect their own, it 

falls occasionally free from the sky. 

Who is the joker Cox? 

DAVID EDWARDS 

The issue I wish to address is 

in regards to your borderline 

slanderous and highly misleading 

comments about architectural 

designers/draughtsmen. 

Just because one may not 

choose to pay the extortionate 

yearly fee that NZIA charges in 

order to register as an “architect”, 

it does not necessarily 

mean that one is any less qualified 

to do the job. Sure, there 

might be some people out there 

who aren’t qualified – but the 

majority have worked just as 

long and hard as you have in 

order to gain the same (or a 

similar) qualification as yourself. 

For many architectural 

designers/draughtsmen, not 

paying the registration fees 

helps keep the overheads down, 

which benefits the customer in 

the long run, as they receive the 

same professional service, but at 

a more reasonable price. 

What Mr. Whitmarsh also 

failed to mention is that there 

are other registration entities 

out there, such as ADNZ, which 

offer draughtsmen a more viable 

alternative and are just as valid 

as registering with NZIA – the 

only difference is that you can’t 

actually call yourself an “architect”, 

even if you are properly 

qualified. With this in mind, I 

strongly recommend that anyone 

wanting to build or renovate 

should carefully consider ALL 

their options and shop around 

for the best design and price. 

And to Mr Whitmarsh – you 

can keep your overpriced, arrogant 

‘architect’ label, because 

we neither want it nor need it! 

RACHEL SMITH 

April 1 crucial date for ban 

on Dihydrogen Monoxide 

I expressed my concern about the 

Dihydrogen Monoxide being pumped, 

along with our water, to my old friend 

Jim McLay (the best Prime Minister we 

never had!). 

He is now our country’s Ambassador 

to the United Nations. 

He replied in kind and I quote, “I 

agree with you Michael, Dihydrogen 

Monoxide should be banned — particu- 

larly on April 1. Indeed, we need a UN 

International Panel for the Total Elimination 

of Dihydrogen Monoxide 

(IPaTeDi); and maybe an NGO called 

Dihydrogen Monoxide Sans Frontieres 

(which will be better known as crossborder 

flooding).” 

Nice to know our diplomats have a 

sense of humour isn’t it?

New lighting and crossing facilities 

were installed on SH3 between Te 

Awamutu and Kihikihi last August to 

improve safety for pedestrians and 

cyclists. 

Mrs Clark says, “This passing lane 

has served its purpose and is no longer 

in keeping with the semi-urban 

environment in this area, which has a 

posted speed limit of 80km per hour. 

Southbound through traffic will still 

have the opportunity to pass slower 

moving vehicles at the next passing 

lane, six kilometres further south, 

near Waikeria.” 

This work is weather dependant 

and may be postponed if the weather is

have proved to the Ministry of 

Education we not only have the 

appropriate procedures and practices 

documented, but that they are 

being observed on a practical level 

in our service on a daily basis.

TA Dairy Queens may not have been the

The Te Awamutu team of dairy farmers 

omprised one of the nine teams of three

It was not an event for ‘blushing blokes’,

odd wardrobe malfunction and ‘running-in

The event was part of the Beach Hop

prelude to the annual Beach Hop at 

Whangamata the following day (which 

features hundreds of classic cars).

CHRISTIAN PERSPECTIVE 

Choose life 

BY MAUREEN CALMAN 

As I write this, we are part way through Holy 

Week. This week is the defining week for Christians. 

It’s a week when we followers of Jesus the Christ 

remember his last week as one of us. 

The week begins with Jesus’ entry into the city of 

Jerusalem on a donkey when the crowds shouted out 

“Hosanna!” (loosely translated it means “Please save 

us!”). What did they want saving from? They thought 

it was from the oppressive rule by the Romans. 

Later in the week Jesus was betrayed by one of 

those closest to him, and handed over to those 

oppressive rulers. Through a series of unjust trials, 

and desertion by his friends, he was eventually 

condemned to die the cruel death of crucifixion on a 

cross until he died. 

But we Christians know that his death was not the 

end. Jesus was taken down from the cross and placed 

in an empty tomb cut from the rock in a hillside. His 

body was left there for two nights and a day because 

nothing could happen on the intervening Sabbath 

Day. Early the next morning the women friends of 

Jesus went to embalm his body, only to discover that 

it was not there. 

Then Jesus himself began to appear — very much 

alive — first to the women, then the disciples and then 

to hundreds of others, we are told. He was 

resurrected, brought back to life by God. God was 

having the final word in this drama, not the earthly 

rulers. 

Now you may find that all a bit hard to stomach. A 

lot of people cannot understand why Jesus endured 

such cruelty. 

We could ask: how can the millions in our world 

endure cruelty today? Many people cannot understand 

the resurrection. Someone who has died coming 

to life again? “Yeah, right,” I hear some say. I have 

seen the lives of people and situations transformed 

from a death-like state to a full-of-life makeover. God 

having the final say gives us the hope of life after 

death. 

Of course I am meaning more than just physical 

death here. Each of us has situations in our lives 

every day when we make choices that can lead to a 

death-like situation or to a full-of-life situation. The 

hope we have in the resurrection of Jesus encourages 

us to ‘choose life that you may live.’ Indeed, 

remember the life, death and resurrection of Jesus — 

and choose life. 

DO YOU WANT THAT DREAM LAWN? 

WELL ACT NOW!

Australian rider upstages Kiwis on home turf 

Jones and Kirby Park Irish Jester retain FEI World Cup qualifier crown 

Australian rider Megan Jones 

and Kirby Park Irish Jester 

triumphed for the second year running 

at the HSBC FEI World CupTM 

Event at Kihikihi. 

Jones finished the hugely successful 

three-day event with the same 

conviction with which they started 

it, producing an effortless clear 

round in the final show-jumping 

phase on Sunday for an overall score 

of 43.0 penalties. 

Event spokesperson, Bevan 

Houlbrooke says the winning combination 

were freed of virtually all 

pressure after uncharacteristic 

errors by the riders sitting in second 

and third places, but never looked 

like needing the multi-rail advantage 

at their disposal. 

Heelan Tompkins and Major Difference 

moved into second place 

after producing a clear round to 

finish the competition on 64 penalties, 

with Clarke Johnstone and the 

seasoned Oakley Vision third on 65.2, 

and Alice Montgomery and Gordon 

fourth on 66.6. 

Jones took a firm lead in Friday’s 

opening dressage phase on her top 

horse Kirby Park Irish Jester, producing 

a trademark expressive test 

for a score of 39.4 penalties. 

Johnstone earned second placing 

delivering a supple, flowing test to 

finish the day on a score of 47.0 

penalties. 

Montgomery was third on 49.0, 

with Grayling close behind in fourth 

place on NRM Lowenberg with 49.6 

penalties. 

The action then shifted to the 

influential cross-country phase on 

Saturday, where course builder John 

Nicholson tested the courage and 

jumping ability of the field. 

In a spectacular day of action, 

Jones and Kirby Park Irish Jester 

continued to dominate the field. 

Jones opted to squander some of 

her 7.6 penalty dressage lead by

phase at Kihikihi. 

taking an option at fence three, but 

went on to complete an economical 

clear round with only 3.6 time penalties 

to finish the day on 43.0 penalties. 

While the lead remained firmly in 

Jones’s capable hands — she had two 

rails in hand going into the final 

show jumping phase — Nicholson’s 

cross-country track had a strong 

influence on the rest of the field. 

Two-time previous winner 

Gordon, ridden by Alice 

Montgomery, moved into second 

place after producing a confident, 

clear round to finish the day on 52.6 

penalties. 

Another previous winner, Oakley 

Vision and Clarke Johnstone, also 

delivered a smooth, clear round with 

5.6 time penalties to finish on 61.2 

penalties. 

Other combinations to deliver 

clear cross-country rounds were 

Tompkins and Major Difference (64.0 

penalties), Jenna Mahoney (66.0 penalties), 

and Karen Niederer on Cape 

Palliser (79.6 penalties). 

The action now moves to Sydney 

in Australia where the third HSBC 

FEI World CupTM Eventing will be 

held on May 7-9, 2010. 

Megan Jones and Kirby Park 

Irish Jester will start at Sydney with 

71 World Cup points in hand ahead of 

her fellow Australian riders. 

FEI president, Her Royal Highness 

Princess Haya thanked the 

organisers and sponsors for their 

commitment to this supreme highlight 

of the New Zealand Eventing 

calendar at Kihikihi. 

‘‘On behalf of the Fédération 

Equestre Internationale, I have 

nothing but praise for the efforts of 

the dedicated owners, athletes and 

organisers within this discipline. 

‘‘They have taken up the 

challenges of a new age and are 

leading the sport forward to a bigger 

and brighter future. 

‘‘I commend the organisers for 

bringing one of our best-loved equestrian 

sports to a growing audience 

and HSBC for the support they are 

offering that enables this to happen.’’ 

Princess Haya said riders at this 

level are the ambassadors of our 

sport and provide inspiration to the 

young riders that follow them and 

gradually infiltrate their ranks. 

‘‘Since its creation in 2003, this 

series has endeavoured to provide 

athletes around the world greater 

opportunities to be a part of the 

global sporting scene. 

‘‘In the coming months, no less 

than 12 events will test their skills, 

determination and stamina. 

‘‘Excitement is sure to mount as 

the climax of the season approaches 

at Schenefeld (GER) at the end of 

August, where the HSBC FEI World 

Cup Eventing Champion will be 

crowned.’’

CENTRE Josh Harris sets his outsides up for Te 

Awamutu Sports against Hamilton Marist on 

Thursday night. 

Marist turned over the 

ball, moved it quickly 

wide inside their 22 and 

raced the length of the 

field to score against the 

run of play. 

Sports went into the 

break leading 10-8. 

Marist made a strong 

start to the second spell, 

pinning Sports down on 

their on line. 

Sports defended several 

forward charges at 

the line, only to have a 

call from the touch-judge 

go against them to see a 

try awarded. 

Marist’s 13-10 lead was 

short lived as Sports 

stormed back with a try 

to Tuibua in the corner 

for a 15-13 scoreline. 

The visitors then 

turned the heat up, scoring 

three further tries — 

one gifted to them via an 

intercept pass — and a 

penalty to clear out to 

32-15. 

Sports never gave in 

and had the final say with 

a try to No. 8 Daniel 

O’Connor ending the 

game at 32-22. 

Once again Leon 

Emery turned in a quality 

performance and the 

centre pairing of Josh 

Harris and Inoke Tuibua 

combined well. 

Up front O ‘Connor 

was again strong on 

attack, and front-rowers 

Craig Mora, Simon Kay 

and Adrian Tucker 

handled themselves well 

against much bigger 

opponents. 

Sports’ premiers and 

premier reserves are 

away to neighbours 

Otorohanga this Saturday.

YVONNE WEAL and Draytown Trooper competing at Horse of 

the Year Show in Hastings. 

Yvonne Weal consolidated 

her standing as one of, if not the 

best, drivers in the country 

taking out Carriage Horse of the 

Year in Hastings. 

Weal was dominant throughout 

the three disciplines at the 

Kelt Capital Horse of the Year 

Show, winning the dressage section 

and placed in both the 

cones and the marathon 

obstacles to take overall honours. 

The cones course had to be 

driven twice, within a set time. 

There were faults for balls on 

cones knocked off and time 

faults for exceeding the time 

allowed. 

The three marathon 

obstacles were driven one after 

the other. This was an open 

speed event. 

Weal and Draytown Trooper 

also won the Con Cours de 

Elegance and Open Scurry competition 

and, driving Greenlee 

Ray ‘O’ Sunshine, placed second 

in Open Scurry and third in 

Carriage Horse of the Year.The 

Open Scurry competition was 

held, under lights, in the main 

oval arena in front of a packed 

crowd in the grandstand. 

Weal says ‘it’s a real crowd 

drawer’ which is why they put 

the event on late in the programme, 

to keep the crowd 

there. 

It is an open speed competition 

through a course of cones, 

with faults for any balls 

knocked off the cones, These 

faults get added to the driver’s 

time. 

Competitors are judged on 

the elegance of their turnout in 

the Con cours d’ Elegance.

discuss; 

Compiling stories of the early pioneers, history,

he Cult are set to put 

heir unique spin on postunk, 

gothic and alternaive 

rock, performing at 

rusts Stadium Waiakere 

next month. 

We have a double pass 

o the May 3 concert so

ew Zealand again. 

This is the band’s first 

isit to the country in 15 

ears and they will be 

performing their ‘Love’ 

album in its entirety. 

Viewed by fans and 

worldwide media as the 

bands pre-eminent 

release, ‘Love’ contains 

such instantly recognisable 

songs as She Sells 

Sanctuary, Revolution 

and Rain among its 10 

stunning tracks. 

Add Billy Duffy’s 

psychedelic guitar 

strains on Phoenix, Ian 

Astbury’s haunting baritone 

on Brother 

Wolf, Sister 

Moon and it’s 

easily apparent 

that the Cult 

created an album 

that manoeuvres 

as a tour de force. 

But wait 

there’s more! 

The band will 

take fans 

through a “best 

of” finale which 

will include their 

greatest hits 

spanning their 

storied career. 

Look out for 

such great numbers 

as Fire

spectacular production,

have been working 

closely with their art/ 

design team to create an 

arresting set, with dramatic
