HILLBILLY the injured kiwi as he was found huddled under a rock.

A little kiwi called ‘Hill-billy’ is happily scuttlingaround Motuora Island,thanks to the efforts of agroup of Te Awamutuwomen.

Noelene Jolley, NoelenePhillips and Bev Hill werejoined by Ngaire Skelton ofPukekohe for a visit toMotuora Island in the Hau-raki Gulf.

The group travelledthere at the end of June aspart of a Department ofConservation volunteerprogramme.

The predator-free islandis a nursery for kiwi chicksthat are hatched at Auck-land Zoo from Northlandeggs.

Once they are largeenough to fend for them-selves in the wild the kiwisare returned to Northland.

Bev Hill says initiallythe kiwi were recapturedfor their return by usingtransmitters, but thisproved unsuitable so ‘kiwidogs’ are now used.

‘‘Using these dogs meansthere is no control overwhich chicks will becaught, which also meanssome kiwi remain on theisland long enough to breed.

‘‘The kiwi from the nur-sery are banded ormicrochipped, so it wasvery exciting when a dogretrieved the first islandborn kiwi.’’

The kiwi population onthe island is currentlyaround 50-60.

The five day trip by theTe Awamutu group focusedon helping with the pro-gramme, but there was alsoa little ‘time off’ to take inthe sights of the island.

On their morning off thegroup headed to the north-ern end of the island at lowtide to explore.

‘‘Part way through ourwalk it was quite breezy, soI stopped by a nice flat rockto rest my backpack, so thatI could get a beanie out.

‘‘To my amazementwhen I looked down I couldsee a kiwi sleeping under alarge rock.

‘‘I called out to the otherthree to tell them what I hadfound and was given a quickreply by Noelene Jolley.

‘‘She said don’t be sillyHillbilly, you arehallucinating!’’

But eventually theothers came to have a lookand sure enough there wasa little kiwi huddled underthe rock.

‘‘Ngaire was able toreach under and carefullypull it out.’’

This is when the womendiscovered the kiwi wasbleeding.

‘‘So we put it into abackpack and headed back,to take it to the IslandManager, AndreaRavenscroft.

‘‘Andrea put it in anaviary at the nursery for thenight.’’

The following day theydecided the kiwi needed aname and after varioussuggestions NoelenePhillips felt it should benamed after Mrs Hill, as shefound it and her nicknameis ‘Hillbilly’.

RECOVERY AT ZOOHillbilly was taken to

Auckland Zoo’s centre forconservation and was putunder the care of seniorveterinarian for conserva-tion and research, RichardJakob-Hoff.

‘‘He explained to us thatHillbilly was likely maleand island born, as he hadno electronic chip.

‘‘He weighed 1.612kg andappeared in good condition,although there was someblood on his left side.

‘ ‘However, he wasunusually quiet, for a norm-ally feisty bird.

‘‘So he was given a shotof pain relief and anti-biotics, then tube fed with aliquid mixture, beforehaving blood tests and anx-ray.’’

Over the next couple ofweeks Hillbilly was tube fedand it turned out the bloodon his side was from aninjury to his beak thatprevented him from feedingnaturally.

Mr Jakob-Hoff said itwas unlikely Hillbillywould have survived if MrsHill and her companionshadn’t found him.

During his stay at thezoo Hillbilly became a starattraction during an inter-

view on Radio Live.After being nurtured

back to health over a threeweek period Hillbilly wasreturned to Motuora Island

When he left the islandhe was passive and quiet.

‘‘But it was a differentstory when he returned - hewas wriggling his head,

snapping his beak and fight-ing against the humans whowere trying to help him.’’

Because Hillbilly’s maininjury was to his beak, ithas left him with a smallbend on the end of it.

Zoo staff don’t believethis will prevent him fromfeeding and won’t cause any

further pain.Mrs Hill says this is

probably the last she willhear about Hillbilly as hewanders Motuora Island.

‘‘Hopefully he will find amate, tend to their egg andtell his grand-chicks abouthow he ended up with a‘funny’ shaped beak.’’

Makeover for main street roundaboutA temporary facelift is on the way for

the roundabout on the corner of TeAwamutu’s Alexandra and Mutu Streetswhile Waipa District Council investigatesreconstruction options.

Road corridor manager Dawn Inglissays Council has been fielding a number ofcalls about the condition of the road surfaceas it is rough and starting to break up.

It has been a recurring problem andwhile Council ultimately will reconstructthe roundabout, there are a number ofutility services underground and the futureof those has to be investigated first.

‘‘In the short term we are investigatingthe best repair product to provide aninterim solution and once the utilitycompanies have investigated their

services, we can reconstruct the round-about knowing the road surface will be ingood condition for up to 10 years.

‘‘We expect the reconstruction to hap-pen within the next 12 to 18 months, buttemporary repairs should be underwaywithin the next two months. I appreciatethe public’s patience during this time,’’MsInglis says.

Investing in essential infrastructureIt was good to learn that

some of the Council staffresponded positively to myrecent letter on our townwater supply.

Also, that the originalsomewhat fragile water pipesare being replaced.

Hopefully, it will beongoing until they have allbeen done.

However, Te Tahi Roadwater barely meets the town’s

needs let alone allows for itsgrowth and development.Also, climate changes couldresult in a prolonged severedrought. Therefore, otherwater sources need to betapped into.

One knowledgeable in thefield of water tells me thatideally, there should be areservoir in the FairviewRoad and Cambridge Roadareas because of the

subdivisions, and the housesand businesses beingconstructed.

That is not hard to believefor in the two years fourmonths that I have been livingin Mountain View Drive, Ihave watched 12 or morehouses built nearby.

In view of the above, water,a vital part of our infra-structure, should be a priority.

It is inevitable that rates

will rise for this worthwhilemulti million dollar projectthat will benefit everyone nowand in the future.

For Council to add to theserates for non essential projectsthat will benefit only the few,would be a cruel blow toratepayers, especially those inthe lower socio-economicgroup which is on theincrease.

Hansel and Gretel witha twist from Talos

TC110811SP4

PONDERING THEIR OPTIONS: Gretel played by Kayla McFarlaneand Hansel played by Sam Morgan in Talos’ latest production.

Talos production ‘Hansel andGretel, a Fractured Fairytale’contains an interesting twist onthe Brothers Grimm classic.

‘‘Once upon a time there weretwo children named Hansel andGretel who went walking in thewoods near their home....,’’ astoryteller reads to a group ofeagerly listening children, butthe storyteller often becomesdistracted by other charactersfrom her story book.

Throughout the show wemeet Little Red Riding Hood andan irritable wolf, Dorothy andScarecrow, Alice and her friendsfrom Wonderland, as well asmany others.

The concerned narratorbecomes very confused whiletrying to rescue all the char-acters from the terrible fate thatis written in her book.

The cast is made up of manyyoung people from our commun-ity, some who have been inproductions before and somenewcomers to the stage.

Wonderful songs, colourfulsets and costumes make this ashow the whole family willenjoy.

This is the directorial debutfor Barbara Osborne, but she’sno stranger to the Talos stage,having appeared in numerousproductions including TheWizard of Oz.

The wealth of knowledge shehas as an actor and singer makesher a competent director.

As well as directing Hanseland Gretel, she also plays thewicked witch who is involved inmany of the stories throughoutthe show.

‘‘I am really enjoying being abaddy for a change,’’ she says.

Talos have reduced the ticketprices to appeal to families andare also running five matinees

though the production schedulewhich runs from August 27 toSeptember 10. Tickets are $20 foradults, $10 for children or familyrates are available.

Tickets are on sale now fromTe Awamutu InformationCentre (phone 871 3259).

Children are encouraged toenter the colouring competitionwhich features on page 2 in thisedition of the Courier for achance to win free tickets fortheir family. All completedentries will be displayed in thetheatre during the show.

Plenty keen to state theircase on velodrome fundingBY GRANT JOHNSTON

There is just 11 days left inWaikato Regional Council’scommunity feedback period onwhether to provide a $6 Milliongrant to the Home of CyclingTrust for the velodrome project.

The Regional Council hasreceived almost 2500submissions on the proposal.

If the grant is provided it willbe funded by a regional rate —with funding options of either aregion-wide flat rate of $3.18 peryear (for 20 years) or a two-tierfunding system which recog-nises the localised benefit of theproposed facility, meaning pro-perties in Waipa, Hamilton,Tamahere and Eureka wards ofWaikato District would pay $3.94a year, and all other ratepayers$2.66.

Indicating a funding prefer-ence is an optional part of thefeedback form.

Consultation closes at 4pm onMonday, August 22. Hearingsare scheduled for September,with an extraordinary councilmeeting to be held onWednesday, September 14 todecide whether to fund theproposed centre.

The statement of proposaland submission form are avail-able online atwww.waikatoregion.govt.nz,from all public libraries andcouncil offices, on request bycalling 0800 800 401.

People can also join in onwww.facebook.com/waikatoregion.

The statement of proposalcontains comprehensive cover-age of issues and availableinformation relevant to the pro-

ject and funding proposal.Securing the funding is essen-

tial to The Home of CyclingCharitable Trust achieving thetarget set by SPARC of having80% of the $28.5 Million ($22.8Million) project funding in placein September.

This is not a fixed require-ment but is an indicative level ofsupport SPARC would like to seein place.

Without Regional Councilsupport, the project will not beable to proceed in the Waikato.

The Trust has secured $13.7million of the $28.5 millionsought, subject to conditions,from central government ($7million), Waipa District Council($1 million), Rotorua DistrictCouncil ($100,000) communityand gaming trusts ($3.1 million)and an interest-bearing loan($2.5 million).

The Waipa $1 Million is sub-ject to four conditions (includingthat any regional rate does notdifferentiate Waipa ratepayersfrom others — a condition whichthe two-tier funding optionwould not satisfy).

Bay of Plenty Regional Coun-cil has been approached for $4Million of the local governmentfunding component, but hasdeferred a decision until its longterm plan deliberations nextyear.

A further $3 Million is soughtfrom community and gamingtrusts and $1.8 Million fromindividuals and corporate enti-ties.

There has been ongoingdebate in Waikato communitiesabout whether the proposedfacility would have wide rangingcommunity use or be used

almost exclusively by high per-formance cyclists.

Waikato Regional Council’sstatement of proposal includesinformation supplied by TheHome of Cycling CharitableTrust, indicating that the trust isdeveloping a number of pro-grammes for community use.

These ‘‘are likely to include’’:community programmes fromlearn to ride to ‘Mum and Dad’type groups (8 hours per weekyear round); children to cham-pions, an all inclusive no bar-riers free starter programme for12-year-olds across the region(10-20 hours per week yearround); corporate programmes(4-8 hours per week during win-ter); disability programmes (2hours per week during winter);schools training (6-8 hours perweek during winter); accredita-tion ‘starter’ courses (1-2 hoursper week year round); Fridaynight club racing (2 hours perweek during summer); schoolsracing (2 hours per week inwinter); club training (2-3 hoursper week year round); juniortrack programme, WaikatoAcademy (2 hours per weekduring summer); general cyclingbased fitness programmes.

Waikato Regional Councilstates that any funding thatmight be provided after con-sultation would be a one-off $6Million only and this would onlybe released if SPARC approvesits contribution.

WRC also states that ‘‘TheHome of Cycling will be requiredto provide evidence of supportby way of underwriting or analternative mechanism for deal-ing with any possible oper-ational budget deficit’’.

Community saddened by death of former residentBY CATHY ASPLIN

Local people are saddened by the news of the death of aformer Te Awamutu vet and rowing club member.

Bram Klaarenbeek (38) died while being operated on inWaikato Hospital last week after a skiing accident onWhakapapa Ski Field.

Mr Klaarenbeek worked at VE Veterinary Services Ltd forseveral years and during that time was a master rower for theTe Awamutu Rowing Club.

VE Vets director Andrew Mansell says Mr Klaarenbeekheaded home to Holland after working in Te Awamutu(2005-2008) and did some volunteer work in Uganda, but lovedNew Zealand so much he came back.

After returning he purchased a lifestyle block near Paeroaand was working as a vet in Ngatea.

His death has ‘gutted’ staff and clients in Te Awamutu."He was a very likeable guy who really enjoyed the lifestyle

here. He always worked really hard and was well-respected."Te Awamutu Rowing Club president Ray Ormsby says Mr

Klaarenbeek was a masters rower who was part of the club forthree seasons.

‘‘It gave him a chance to meet new people from the area andhe always had a smile on his face around the club.

‘‘He had rowed quite a bit before he came to New Zealand,so he was a very good rower and always enthusiastic. We wereshocked to hear of his death.’’

Leo on his way to being lionof a mobility assistance dog

TC110811GJ01

AIMEE GIBSON walks Leo the trainee mobility assistance dog through Memorial Park.

BY GRANT JOHNSTON

When Cliff and AimeeGibson volunteered to act aspuppy raisers and to bring alabrador retriever puppy intotheir fairly new Te Awamutuhome, they weren’t sure whatthey were letting themselvesin for.

But 12-week-old Leo hasquickly won the hearts of thecouple and their three chil-dren Kieran (9), Aidan (6) andBriar (3).

The family will look afterLeo for a year, socialising himas part of the mobility assist-ance dogs programme.

Mobility Assistance DogsTrust mission is to enhancethe lives of people living withphysical disabilities, increas-ing independence, confidence,self-esteem and participationin New Zealand communities.

Leo has full public accessrights. A message attached tohis coat requests that peopledo not pat him, as he’s ‘work-ing’.

He visited Mainly Music atthe Baptist Church on Mondayand Briar’s daycare centre onTuesday, on both occasionsproving a huge hit with thechildren.

After his stay in Te Awa-mutu he will return to Auck-land to undergo advancedtraining where he will learntasks such as turning lightswitches on and off, depositingrubbish in bins and openingcupboards.

Any doubts about adoptingLeo for a year have long gone

— the Gibsons already knowhe’ll leave a huge hole in theirfamily when he goes.

But they will have the last-

ing satisfaction of knowingthey’ve played a significantpart in getting him ready forhis valuable role.

A Mighty Marist againWaikato champions

TC110811CA01

MARIST players and supporters celebrate defending their second division title.

BY COLIN THORSEN, CATHY ASPLIN

Well-drilled Te Akau gallant in defeat

Te Awamutu Marist arealready looking to cash in onwinning back-to-back Waikatosecond division rugby champion-ships.

Coach Tony Kahura says hisside needs new challenges aftergrinding out a hard earned 12-7win over Te Akau in Saturday’sfinal at Castleton Park.

‘‘Our goal is to gain firstdivision status, something that isnot currently possible because wedo not have a second senior team.

‘‘We’re building a culture atMarist and with it comes winning— hopefully that will attract suf-ficient numbers to allow us tofield a third division side andmaybe an under-85kg team as wellin 2012.’’

‘‘We want to build on oursuccess and the good publicitywe’ve been receiving,’’ saysassistant coach, Carl Henderson.

‘‘We beat every team in thedivision at least once.

‘‘I’m very proud of the guysthis year, it is always toughdefending a championship, whichwe found out along the way —losing a couple of times to teamsthat wanted to beat the cham-pions.’’

Henderson says he has neverseen a group of guys that are soclose.

‘‘Their comradeship shows onthe field as they play for eachother.

‘‘It is fantastic to be a part of.’’Richard McCandlish reports

that the Murray Gane Plumbingsponsored Marist team defended

for most of the first 40 minutes.Te Akau’s big pack pinned the

local team in their own 22 for longperiods.

Marist held them out until the16th minute when the visitor’sforwards drove over the line toscore and convert for a 7-0 lead.

Te Akau had a penalty kick hitthe posts in the 32nd minute,much to the relief of the Maristplayers and supporters. Thisspurred Marist on and, after put-ting pressure on Te Akau, wererewarded with a penalty whichfirst five Ben Gisler slotted for a7-3 scoreline.

Gisler missed another penaltychance right on halftime.

Stern words from coachKahura at halftime to cut downthe error rate and play in the TeAkau half of the field worked atreat.

Under pressure, Te Akau con-ceded penalties in the 10th and15th minutes which Gisler coollyconverted into points to giveMarist the lead 9-7.

The second was a beauty from37 metres out on the side line.

Marist were down to 14 menafter 20 minutes with captain andNo. 8 Mark Kahura in the sin binfor a late charge.

The home team kept Te Akaupinned in their half with somestrong driving play and accuratekicks.

Gisler missed a penalty shotafter 22 minutes but slottedanother attempt three minuteslater to take the score out to 12-7.

Te Akau dominated the last 10minutes. They were awardedkickable penalties but chose to

kick for the corner and go for theseven pointer to win.

From a five metre lineout onfulltime, Marist lock MatthewBradley got up and stole TeAkau’s throw in and shut downanother attempted drive to seeMarist through for an outstand-ing win against committed oppo-sition.

Front rowers Troy Murray andVaughan Robinson had solidgames upfront, while Bradleyagain was a great source oflineout ball for Marist.

In the backs, Gisler read playwell and fullback Scott Sands wassound under the high ball andcounter-attacked superbly.

But this win belonged to thewhole squad and the 22 playerswho took the field.

The Redoubt Bar and Eateryplayer of the day was inspira-tional halfback BryceMcCandlish, with the Timmo’sITM Building Centre tackler ofthe day going to winger AceMasalo for some big hits.

Marist finished the seasonwith 14 wins from 19 games,scoring 356 points and conceding199. Their biggest winning mar-gin was 57 and biggest losingmargin 12.

Te Awamutu Marist have beeninvited to play a New ZealandMarist Colts Selection, includinglocal Anthony Kahura, in thecurtain raiser (12.30) for the TeAwamutu Peace Cup team’s gameagainst New Zealand Marist Coltson August 20 at Hamilton Marist.

Home for 102nd birthday

CFP

CROSSWORD queen Grace Shaw pictured at 100. She stillreads without glasses and does her crosswords.

Today is Grace Shaw’s 102nd birthday,which she plans to celebrate with aluncheon with her two sisters and up to adozen other family members.

Mrs Shaw featured on her 100th birth-day as the women who could still readwithout glasses and did crosswords everyday.

Her daughter Marjorie Meredith saysher mother’s mind is still as alert as ever,but she isn’t as physically active sospends time with her in Warkworth andcomes back to her Te Awamutu homeevery five or six weeks to catch up withfriends.

Mrs Meredith has also compiled asocial history of her mother’s life, fromher birth on August 11, 1909 in Otoro-hanga and her early years growing up atTe-Rau-a-moa.

Those early memories make wonderfulreading, and we are pleased to be able tomake them available with the family’spermission, and with the help of DaveOwen of Wavelength Media, by visitingwww.teawamutu.co.nz

Grace was also a keen poet, and at theage of 15 parodied a poem of the time, withher own experiences at Te-Rau-a-moa.

COWOh vast mysterious cow at thy rotund

side I stand,Up on your ear I see our mark and on

your side our brand,With plodding step thy massive form

plods through the dark mud deep,As to the shed upon the hill reluctantly

you creepI love the little Jersey cow, the Holstein

black as nightThe Hereford, the Shorthorn, the

Ayrshire dappled brightI love your understanding and your

subtle common senseThe rushing streamlet you defy, the

gate, the broken fenceI love your homely bellow, ‘neath the

golden sun aglowThe imprint of your cloven hoof in mud,

or sand, or snowBut best of all I love to hear your wild

triumphant roar,As hating man’s o’er ruling hand you

break the cow bail door

Book exchange thriving in Kihikihi

TC110811CA04

LEFT: Kihikihi BookExchange owners AngelaRamsay (left) and BettyHansen.

BY CATHY ASPLIN

Betty Hansen andAngela Ramsay absolutelylove books, so they are twoof the lucky few who cancombine business withpleasure.

The women operate theKihikihi Book Exchangeon the Kihikihi’s mainstreet, a business whichhad its origins in Te Awa-mutu many years ago.

‘‘Originally it was asecondhand book store forthe Democrat/SocialCredit party and was in apremises by where the

new Countdown super-market is.

‘‘The shop was there foraround 30 years and weboth worked voluntarilypart-time.

‘‘When they decided toclose it down we thoughtthere was an opportunity,so we purchased some ofthe stock and shopfittings.’’

The book exchange nowoperates independentlywith no political affili-ation.

They say the busy roadoutside their front doorbrings loads of customerstheir way - many cominglong distances to searchtheir shelves.

‘‘We have people fromas far away as Whangareiand New Plymouth calling

in for books.‘‘We also have a large

number of regular cus-tomers from around theWaikato who call in to buyor trade books.

‘‘Many have favouriteauthors, so they are oftenafter certain titles to add totheir collections.

‘‘We take requests forspecific books and putthem aside. We then notifythe customers so they canbe collected.’’

The small book shop iscurrently ‘full’, so if you’relooking for very reason-ably priced books in goodcondition, now is certainlythe time to visit the Kihi-kihi Book Exchange.

‘‘We’ve got to the stagethat we are a little over-stocked, so we’re having a

sale.’’Books stocked range

from the ever-popularwestern novels and Mills &Boons romances, tospecialist areas andchildren’s books.

‘‘We have a few non-fiction books, but mostlythey are fiction and coverall the most popularauthors.’’

Each book has twoprices listed inside - onefor buying it, the other fortaking a ‘swap’.

Kihikihi BookExchange is open Mondayto Friday 9.30am - 4.30pmand on Saturday from9.30am to 12.30pm.

For further details orenquiries call in to 40 LyonStreet or phone 871 5622 or871 8707.

Winter drivingrequires morecare and skillD

riving to the conditions is a common safetymessage, but it’s not just about climatic changesit’s about increased road usage, such as when

children are back at school, and other factors such as roadworks.Motorists are being encouraged by a Road Safety

Advisory Group to not only adapt their driving to winterconditions, but to also ensure their vehicles are fit to be onthe road.‘‘Driving in adverse or challenging driving situations

can be demanding on motorists, especially young driverspossible driving in these icy conditions for the first time.It’s still important to plan your trips even if you are onlycommuting to and from work and if you feel yourselfgetting tired pull over and have a break.’’Winter driving conditions require greater care and less

speed, so drivers should allow extra time for their trips.ACC Injury Prevention Consultant Lisa Taylor said a

particular hazard identified in the eastern Waikato wasthe risks posed by black ice.‘‘Black ice can be difficult to spot on the road but is

mainly common in cooler shaded areas or around streams,lakes and rivers.‘‘Black ice can appear as shiny watery patches on the

road. Be prepared for black ice to appear anywhere on theroads by reducing your speed, avoiding sudden brakingand sudden changes in direction and increasing the gapbetween you and the car in front.’’During winter drivers should:

• Planning your route making allowances for bad weather.• Check your vehicle to make sure it is road worthy forwinter driving.• Ensure your wipers work properly and that your tyres arecorrectly inflated.• Switch on to be seen. Having your lights on both day andnight can helps other road users, including cyclists andpedestrians see you coming.• Ensure you can be seen, if you are a cyclist or pedestrianwear high-visibility clothing wherever possible.

Kiwis neglect regular car serviceT

he results of a survey thatlooked at the vehicle servicinghabits of New Zealand drivers

by the Motor Trade Association(MTA) showed that more than halfof those surveyed were failing tohave their vehicles regularly ser-viced.Servicing schedules are devel-

oped for each make and model ofvehicle by the manufacturer toensure optimum performance andreliability.By neglecting to have basic

servicing work carried out on aregular basis, they may be missingout on the opportunity to reduceboth running costs as well asemissions.The survey of 500 vehicles was

carried out in April at 25 servicestations across the country andlooked at a range of vehicle owner-ship issues, including servicing

history.Carried out by teams of MTA

staff, the survey included recordingthe service label information ineach vehicle, as well as a shortseries of questions that looked atwho actually carried out the servic-ing on each individual vehicle.Commenting, Ian Stronach, MTA

Marketing and CommunicationsGeneral Manager described thefindings as worrying. ‘‘If this levelon non-service is replicated on anational basis — it’s a worry.New Zealand already has an old

fleet by world standards, and it’sgetting older.The level of non-service,

whether through lack of knowledgeor just overstating the condition oftheir vehicle, means owners maynot just be using more fuel than isnecessary, but adding to overallemission levels as well as poten-

tially putting the safety of theirvehicle at r isk too. I t ’scompounding an already less thandesirable situation’’.When asked how their vehicle

was serviced, 81% said at a garage,with a further 16% claiming theyserviced the vehicle themselves.Just 1% of drivers admitted havingnever serviced their vehicle.Based on the service label that

is usually affixed to the windscreen,only 39% of vehicles appeared to beup to date with their servicing.The distance by which vehicles

were beyond their scheduled ser-vice point, ranged from just a fewhundred to nearly 80,000 kilo-metres; the most common werebetween 2500 and ,000 kilometres.On a time basis, that ranged

from just a few days through to aworst case of 1,043 days; theaverage time being 175 days over-

due.Stronach adds ‘‘Many of the

vehicles we saw were well outsidethe ‘oversight’ stage. Clearly thereare a significant number of ownersprepared to forgo regular servicingof their vehicle. It may be due toeconomic conditions, but failing tomaintain a vehicle is never a viablelong term option. Not only doowners risk compromising thereliability of their vehicle, but theyoften end up consuming more fuelthan they otherwise would. It’s afalse economy.’’Even though modern vehicles

are far more durable than those ofthe past, they still require regularand comprehensive servicing if theyare to perform to their optimum andreduce fuel consumption.On a sustained basis, a failure to

service invariably leads to a vehiclefailure.

WRC concernover roadingsubsidy cutsW

aikato Regional Council is concerned services willbe cut or rates will have to rise as a result of plansto either reduce or remove government transport

subsidies.The council wants to work with the New Zealand

Transport Agency (NZTA) to find alternatives to theirproposed changes to the funding assistance rates. Theserates help to fund the national benefits associated withpublic transport facilities and infrastructure, road usersafety and transport planning.In real terms, if they went ahead, the changes would

result in:A $400,000 funding reduction for road safety community

programmes.A cut of $100,000 to $200,000 per annum for transport

studies and strategies, which help to improve theeffectiveness, efficiency and safety of the transport networkin Waikato and neighbouring regions.A cut in funding to local councils for public transport

infrastructure, including bus stops, shelters and signs.The removal of the $500,000 grant for regional land

transport planning, of vital importance to ensure a plannedand integrated transport network is provided for our region.‘‘We acknowledge the tight financial circumstances

we’re all in and hope that by working with the NZTA we willfind a workable solution on funding assistance rates,’’ shesaid.‘‘As they are, these proposed changes will result in an

increased and unfair burden on local and regional councils.To offset the funding cut and maintain robust transportplanning, road safety promotion programmes and publictransport infrastructure, a local rates increase could beneeded.‘‘The only other alternative would be a drop in our current

level of service and programme delivery across these workprogrammes,’’ Cr Southgate said.Meanwhile, the multi-agency Waikato Regional Trans-

port Committee is making a detailed submission raisingconcerns about the impact of the proposed changes.

Ford New Zealand right behind the All Blacks

BY DEAN TAYLOR

Tocelebrate their ongoing supportof New Zealand rugby, and17-year sponsorship of the All

Blacks, Ford New Zealand hasreleased the Limited Edition All BlacksXR6 Falcon.The AB XR6 is the ultimate

expression of support for our AllBlacks in this Rugby World Cupcampaign.Ford’s association extends from

community grass roots rugby right upto our national team, adding strengthto a sport that has been a large part ofNew Zealand culture for generations.Last year was the first Ford was

associated with Small Blacks. Theyare all about having fun in rugby,while teaching our up and coming AllBlacks and Black Ferns the rugbyskills they’ll need to be the best theycan be.Fairview Te Awamutu has an All

Blacks XR6 available for test drive inLightning Strike. Other colours areSilhouette Black and Winter White.

The AB XR6 comes with 18 inchlimited edition alloy wheels, All Blacksrear decal and limited edition sidedecals, unique colour accents on theupper and lower grilles, fog lampbezels and rear bumper insert, foglights, power adjustable side mirrorsand sports body kit — includingspoiler, leather wrapped sportssteering wheel, All Blacks front scuffplates and alloy pedal covers.Ford Falcon XR6 models run the

proven engine/transmission combina-tion of 4.0L DOHC DI-VCT straight sixand ZF six-speed automatic trans-mission with Sequential Sports Shift.They are all 5-star ANCAP safety

rated and have standard features suchas ABS, Beltminder system, multipleairbags, DSC, EBD, EBA and reversesensing system.As reviewed previously, the XR6

Falcon is a great drive, combininglooks, power and handling in a big carpackage.In All Blacks trim it is even more of

a head turner— although I would haveto say ‘black’ would be my preference.The Limited Edition All Blacks XR6

starts at under $57K — and it’ll be acollector’s item after we win the WorldCup!

Ford New Zealand’s limitededition AB35 Fiesta wasdesigned with the help of

the All Blacks.The five-door hatchback was

created to celebrate thecompany’s 17-year sponsorshipof the All Blacks.‘‘The AB35 project was all

about showing our commitmentto the All Blacks this year,’’ saidFord NZ marketing managerChris Masterson. ‘‘We had ahuge amount of fun designingthis car. The AB35 Fiesta repre-sents the spirit of our brand. It’sa dynamic, premium car that’ssmall on price but big onfeatures.’’Ford NZ made only 35 of the

AB35 Fiestas, with 34 going onsale and one being auctioned forcharity.Proceeds from the auction

will go to three charities; FordNew Zealand’s official charityVariety — The Children’s Charityand the New Zealand RugbyUnion’s official charity partnersPlunket and KidsCan.The AB35 project began with

a European-built Ford FiestaTitanium-spec five-speed man-ual with the Ford 1.6-litre Ti-VCTSigma engine as the initialcanvas.The Ford design team then

transformed the vehicle. Theexterior gets new graphics,motorsport alloys, front and rear

spoilers and sideskirts.Inside, there are sports

pedals, leather seats with AB35logo, and a special Sony stereosystem, among other special-edition add-ons.The engine gets a power

upgrade from Mountune Per-formance, a British tuning housethat worked on the go-fastFocus RS. The AB35’s 1.6-litreunit delivers 104kW at 6750rpmand 170Nm at 4250rpm, an 18%improvement over the standardFiesta’s 88kW/152Nm. The mainbenefit comes in acceleration —the AB35 Fiesta scoots fromzero to 100km/h in 7.9 seconds,against 9.9 seconds for thestandard car.

Diesel variant Captiva-ting

BY DEAN TAYLOR

In the world of crossovervehicles, Holden Captiva isone of the standout perform-

ers — especially the new serieswhich features a choice of greatnew engines.And while the petrol variants

are great, it is the new 2.2 litreturbo diesel that steals theshow.This engine is brand new and

the Captiva is the first GMproduct to carry it.It puts out 23% more power

and 25% more torque than itspredecessor.New technology in the diesel

means it delivers more poweroutput but with lower CO2emissions.It also gets a particulate

filter, maintenance free for itslifetime, and meets the Euro 4emission standard.I drove the Captiva 5 Diesel

from Rosetown Holden and wasonce again impressed by thefinish and ride of this practicalvehicle.And is is very quiet, but with

135kW of power and 400Nm oftorque, can be a real performer.Holden say the Captiva 5 is

good for an average 8.5l/100kmand will run on diesel or B5BioDiesel.The diesel only comes with

AWD and the six speed auto-matic gearbox with ActiveSelect.Holden is aiming the Captiva

5 at customers who enjoy styleand class — it is sporty, butpractical — and representsgood value for money.The car has a full array of

safety features, such as the

practical and useful hill startassist, and rides on 17’’ alloywheels.The interior is all class —

great sounds, great controls,great accessories and plenty ofuseful spaces.Versatility is the key — load

space with seats in place isimpressive enough, and doubledwith seats folded.Series II styling changes,

which have a European influ-ence, include a revamped frontend and fog lights, as well as theaforementioned 17’’ rims. In all

the Series II Captiva offers ninevariants — something to suiteveryone.For more information check

New car saleson the riseT

he new-vehicle market in New Zealand is showing signs ofbuoyancy, five months after the Japanese earthquake andtsunami disrupted production and supply worldwide.July registrations were ahead of the same month in 2009 and

2010, says the Motor Industry Association.‘‘The new-vehicle industry is beginning to regain ground lost

over the past three months, when sales were impacted by stockshortages,’’ said its CEO Perry Kerr.Registrations of new passenger cars in July totalled 4879

units, up 9.7 % on last year. Likewise, commercial registrations of1826 were up 17.7% on 2010.Toyota regained the top spot with total sales of 1026, made up

of 616 passenger cars and 410 commercials.Ford finished second with 709 sales (465 cars and 244

commercials) with Holden coming in third with 687 sales (564cars and 123 commercials).The best-selling model for the month was the Suzuki Swift

with 325 sales. This result has given the Suzuki Swift overallmodel leadership year-to-date with 1978 registrations, just aheadof the Toyota Corolla with 1960.The next best-seller was the Toyota Hilux (262) followed by

another light commercial vehicle, the Nissan Navara (248).In the passenger car market, Holden took out three of the top

four best-selling models with the Holden Commodore number two(204 registrations) followed by the Captiva (163) and the Cruze(154).The Toyota Corolla is still affected by stock shortages and was

in an uncharacteristic ninth place.

Mitsubishi’s i-MiEV afirst for New ZealandA

t the end of last monthMitsubishi Motors NZ madehistory as the first automotive

distributor to sell mass-producedelectric cars to the New Zealandpublic.‘‘This is a proud day for our

company,’’ said head of sales andmarketing strategy Daniel Cook.‘‘It is not often you have the

opportunity to make a significantimpact on history, but MitsubishiMotors is now in the book fordelivering the first mass-producedfully electric car to New Zealanders.On sale from selected Mitsubishi

dealers, the four-seat Mitsubishii-MiEV has a range of up to 150 kmper charge and is designed forurban commuters, who, on average,travel 32 km/day.A full recharge, from a standard

15 amp wall socket, takesapproximately seven hours andcosts about $5.‘‘While the i-MiEV primarily suits

the urban commuter, it also repre-sents a turning point in automotivehistory,’’ said Mr Cook. ‘‘It sets thefoundation from which to launch thenext-generation of electric-basedhybrid vehicles, instead of the petroland diesel-based hybrids we seetoday.The next decade in the auto-

motive industry will be remarkableand Mitsubishi is the electric tech-nology leader.’’The i-MiEV will be on sale at

approved Mitsubishi dealers for$59,990, including three years freeservicing and installation of one 15amp socket in the home garage forcharging.‘‘Free servicing and low running

costs, represent an affordable wayto drive New Zealand’s mostenvironmentally friendly vehicle —

and it’s available now,’’ said MrCook.Our nearest i-MiEV authorised

Mitsubishi Motors dealer isHamilton’s Ingham Mitsubishi.

FIRST SALEAuckland electrical contractor

Mark Hutt has waited 20 years forthe opportunity to buy an electriccar. His dream came true last weekwhen he became the first privateowner of a Mitsubishi i-MiEV.‘‘It was worth the 20-year wait,’’

said Mr Hutt.‘‘I’ve decided to take the lead

and just get on with it!’’The Clear Blue i-MiEV is regis-

tered to Mr Hutt’s North Shorebusiness Shire Electrical and hiswife Mhorag is the primary driver.‘‘We fell in love with the car

within five minutes of MatthewWales showing it to us in the

Andrew Simms showroom in New-market,’’ said Mr Hutt.‘‘We could see it saving us a lot

of money and conserving our cashgoing into the future.’’MMNZ head of sales and mar-

keting strategy Daniel Cook saysfree servicing and low runningcosts represent an affordable wayto drive the country’s most environ-mentally friendly vehicle.‘‘Already buyers like Mr and Mrs

Hutt are reaping the rewards ofowning this extraordinary car. As acompany, we are very excited toprovide i-MiEV to New Zealandersand watch this segment grow,’’ saidMr Cook.‘‘The first shipment of i-MiEVs

are on the ground at six dealershipsaround the country and since theyarrived, we have been inundatedwith enquiries for them.’’

Honda hands TreeFund cash to WRCH

onda New Zealand has contributedanother $11,320 to native treeplanting in the Waikato, only

slightly down on last year’s $12,010despite the ongoing tougher economictimes.‘‘This ongoing support is very useful

in terms of providing funds for localgroups wanting to undertake environ-mental protection initiatives involvingtree planting,’’ said Waikato RegionalCouncil sustainable agriculturecoordinator Bala Tikkisetty.Under its Honda Tree Fund scheme,

the company funds the planting of tennative trees for every new Honda car soldin New Zealand.Cash is allocated to regions based on

how many cars are sold in different partsof the country.WRC helps allocate the region’s share

of the funds to local community groups.‘‘This cash — which now totals

almost $195,000 over seven years in ourregion — helps the environment byproviding such benefits as water qualityprotection and erosion control,’’ said MrTikkisetty.

NZTA expands travel informationservice for drivers in Hamilton

Motorists travelling in and aroundHamilton, now have access toup-to-the-minute travel informa-

missioned by the NZ Transport Agencyas it expands its traffic informationservices to give people more detailedinformation about highway conditionsbefore they travel.The cameras are located at key State

Highway intersections and images canbe viewed on the NZTA’s traffic websitewww.nzta.govt.nzThe NZTA’s Acting State Highways

Manager for Hamilton, Michelle TeWharau, says the cameras deliver animportant service to people by givingthem the opportunity to avoid conges-tion and to have smoother and safertrips.The NZTA now operates webcams

across Auckland, Tauranga, Waiouru,Wellington, Dunedin and Christchurch.

New road layout for Rogers Place

Work on a new roading layout forthe Rogers Place, Cambridge andTe Rahu Roads intersection is

almost complete.The new design was recommended by

Te Awamutu Community Board followingthe expansion of the State Highway 3,Arawata Street, Cambridge Road round-about prior to the Cambridge Road Pak’nSave project.

The new design should make turningto and from Rogers Place safer, as well aspreventing any confusion at the intersec-tion — especially where the road waschanged to double lanes.It is also expected the new design will

deter motorists from using Rogers Placeas a short cut to Bond Road, a practicewhich had been identified as dangerouson occasions.

Fed Cup soccer teamdrop out of ‘top four’

Te Awamutu slipped to fifth placein division two of Waikato Bay ofPlenty Federation Soccer League fol-lowing their 4-0 loss to Unicol.

Dave Hall reports that, despite thescoreline, Te Awamutu played withmore composure and commitmentthan the previous week.

Coach Billy Carter made severalchanges to the line-up in Hamilton onSaturday, including Kyle Ownsplaying in the centre midfield posi-tion.

The changes appeared to work wellfor the majority of the first half — TeAwamutu competed well, concedingjust the one first half goal.

Mike Leonard and Dave Irelandcontinued to toil away on attack,trying to make scoring chances out ofthe few opportunities that did cometheir way.

The defence of Martin Diaz, CarlMiezenbeek, Hamon McKay and Rich-ard Wilkins coped admirably. Itwasn’t until late in the second halfthat Unicol scored again andeffectively killed off the contest.

Midfielders Brad Small, AaronKelly and David Simpemba workedhard to limit Unicol’s possession andattacks. Next week it only gets harderfor Te Awamutu as they travel awayto league leaders Ngongotaha.

The Women’s A division side got afootballing lesson from HamiltonNorth going down 9-0.

Next week the team has a Waikato-Bay of Plenty Plate competition matchagainst Tauranga’s Old Blues at theStadium.

The Women’s C division sideremain in first place in their divisionafter winning 3-1 away at Unicol Gold.

TA Sports sixth best team in WaikatoEcolab Te Awamutu Sports finished their

season ranked sixth in Waikato premierrugby after losing their plate final 28-22 toMelville.

Peter Bain reports that both teams showeda willingness to move the ball around,making for an entertaining spectacle.

The host Melville team made the betterstart at Collins Road on Saturday, racing outto a 10-0 lead with a penalty and converted try.

Sports’ captain for the day, RyanMeacheam then pounced on a loose ball andshowed good pace down the left wing to scoreunopposed.

Another penalty stretched Melville’s lead

to 13-5.Sports had the better of the later stages of

the half, forcing the Hamiltonians to do a lotof defending.

First five Leon Emery broke clear from themiddle of a ruck 20 metres out from the lineand, with no defenders in front of him, scoredunder the posts.

Meacheam converted, then right onhalftime added a penalty to give Sports a 15-13lead.

Melville regained the lead with aconverted try soon after the resumption inplay.

Sports then mounted wave after wave of

attacks, keeping the ball in close and drivingfor the line.

Their reward finally came when awardeda scrum penalty.

A quick tap by No. 8 Kallum Andrewscaught the defence napping and the backrower proved unstoppable on an irrepressiblerun to the line, brushing aside three would-be-tacklers and scoring in the tackle.

Waylon Tangohau converted for Sports tolead 22-20.

Melville used the considerable bulk oftheir forward pack to good effect over theclosing stages.

Constant pressure resulted in another

penalty and a try to win by a six point margin.Sports’ loosies Cohen Masson and Carl

Finlay had outstanding games, both creatingnumerous turnovers at ruck and maul time,as well as breaking the defence on manyoccasions on attack.

Meacheam seemed to thrive on the cap-taincy, turning in a strong performance. Heand fullback Tangohau sparked many ofSports’ attacks.

Bain says it would have been nice to havesent coach Martyn Steffert off with a win inhis last game.

‘‘It’s been a difficult season, plagued byinjuries and player non availability.’

Pirongia snare silverwarein overtime rugby thriller

Pirongia senior rugby team snatched adramatic 17-12 victory in extra time againsthosts Kereone to win the Waikato divisionone plate.

Playing with a breeze at their backs, thePirongia forwards set up camp in theKereone 22.

After a sustained attack, veteran RyanBardsley crashed over from a scrum move,converted by Paul Taylor for a 7-0 lead.

The Mountain Men were unable to addany further points before halftime, despiteforwards dominance and strong runningfrom the centre combination of Peta Taukiriand Wiremu Jarrett.

In the second half, Kereone used thestrong boot of their fullback to gain terri-tory in the Pirongia half.

They capitalised on some messy playclose to the line with an unconverted try.

A breakout by the Kereone fullbacklooked certain to result in another try untilwinger Richard Allen made a ball and alltackle that drove the ball-carrier five metresover the touchline.

Pirongia looked on course for victory,with only six minutes left, when a clearingkick from Richard Parsons was chargeddown and Kereone scored and converted

giving them a 12-7 lead.This spurred Pirongia into action.Several backline thrusts were repelled

but an attack on the blind side saw Parsonsstep his opposite and crash over to againlock the scores up, sending the game intoovertime.

Pirongia’s backs continued to look sharpin overtime, stringing together severalthreatening attacks.

The win was sealed when the ball wasspun wide to Karl Swanson who chippedthrough, followed up, and dived over in thecorner to score.

Pirongia continued to attack but couldnot add more points.

Kereone created one last chance tosnatch victory from a counter attack, onlyto have reserve prop, David Henderson,bundle his opposition winger into touch.

Pirongia then maintained possession torun the clock down.

Player of the day, hooker Rob Flannerywas inspirational getting through a truckload of work.

Loosies Caleum Evans and Ash Lambertsecured several turnovers, and halfbackDevon Lydford was aggressive and com-manding behind the pack.
