Lock it, or elsePolice are reminding the

public to lock their vehicles, or wear the consequences.

In the early hours of Thurs-day last week a number of offences were committed in Pirongia, including thefts from a number of vehicles.

A Police dog was able to track the scent around a number of Pirongia streets before locating the offenders.

The dog handler reported fi nding at least six vehicles unlocked on various streets.

Police say the fi rst step to preventing vehicle crime is locking the vehicle. The second is reporting the offence.

Boat sunkAn aerial sticking out of the

water at high tide was the only visible sign of a boat which sank in Kawhia Harbour over the weekend.

The 48ft steel launch is believed to be a casualty of the rough weather and heavy seas, breaking its mooring before fi lling with water faster than the bilge pumps could work.

Readers readyThere has been a positive

response to the Courier’s request for volunteers for a ‘Courier Readers Have Their Say’ database.

People volunteering for the database will be emailed and asked their opinions on topical issues, with responses fea-tured in the Courier.

So far a dozen commu-nity minded readers have registered, but more would be welcome. If you are interested email editor Grant Johnston at [email protected]

Health warnings have been re-moved from all Waikato shallow peat lakes after the latest round of sampling showed dramatic falls in cyanobacterial cell counts.

On June 30, Lakes Ngaroto, Hakanoa, Kainui and Waahi all had cell counts of less than 100 cells/ml.

Waikato medical offi cer of health Dr Dell Hood says water is considered safe for contact recreation when cell counts are below 15,000 cells/ml.

“Given the season and the very low levels recorded, health warnings are being lifted without the usual precau-tion of waiting for two results below the guideline level.

“However, as always, lake users are warned that sampling may not be representative of the water quality throughout the lake - cyanobacteria and their scum may accumulate in bays where they may be driven by the wind.

“Death of large numbers of cyano-bacterial cells may also release large

amounts of toxin into the water as the cells break up. For these reasons, basic precautions such as avoiding contact with visible scums and show-ering after exposure are still recom-mended.”

Dr Hood says blooms can build up again very quickly when conditions are again favourable.

She advises regular users of the lakes to continue to check with their local council or with Environment Waikato’s website (www.ew.govt.nz) for up to date information.

“Medical practitioners should also still remain vigilant for adverse health effects which may be related to cyanobacterial exposure.

“ The Public Health Unit will follow up any such reports, even though the risk is expected to be low at present.”

Environment Waikato will con-tinue monthly testing over the win-ter months. Further health advice is available from the Public Health Unit (07) 839 8899.

Teamwork needed to sort roading

The Waikato Region will need an unprecedented amount of regional co-operation to ensure a solution to its transport problems will be “sorted by Christmas”, Transport Minister Pete Hodgson told Environment Waikato’s Regional Land Transport Committee meeting.

He said our region was large and complex with disparate transport needs, and would need buy in from every corner of the Waikato.

Mr Hodgson said he anticipated that in early August there would be an announcement with “issues of interest for the Waikato”.

“All of us must commit the time and effort to get this proc-ess done and I think December is achievable. There are more local authorities involved (including Waipa) in the develop-ment of Waikato’s special funding package than in any other the Government has undertaken so far. Waikato is bigger and more diverse than Auckland, Wellington or the Bay of Plenty.”

He said Waikato communities should not have to wait for the package to be agreed on before the Government took ac-tion, and offi cials would start work on the special funding package shortly to run alongside the Regional Land Trans-port Strategy.

“The needs of the Waikato Region cannot be met by conven-tional funding methods. It is more than any other region a corridor. Although all regions are growing and New Zealand is one of the highest performing economies in the world, Re-gional growth here is approaching remarkable and it has run into infrastructural diffi culties as a result.”

First national title for Emma Te Awamutu College fi fth

former Emma Petersen contin-ued her meteoric sporting rise on Saturday by winning her fi rst National title, taking out the Intermediate (U16) Girls Duathlon title at the NZ Sec-ondary Schools Championships in Christchurch.

Petersen absolutely blitzed the fi eld once on the bike after entering transition after the fi rst run in fourth equal place.

A phone call to coach Errol Newlands from rival spectator and director of sport at Ran-gitoto College, Peter Harwood, suggested that the race was over by the end of the fi rst of the six laps of the cycle leg, such was Petersen’s superior speed on the bike.

Trailing the leader by 40 sec-onds after the fi rst 3.5km run leg, Petersen lit the afterburn-ers on the 14.8km bike leg to leave her rivals stunned with a blistering 23 min, 58 sec ride that was 3 min, 19 sec faster than eventual silver medal-list Johanna van Doorn from Christchurch to give Petersen a 2.41 lead at the fi nish of the bike leg.

With a 2.5km run to the fi n-ish line, Petersen had only her shadow for company as she

cantered in for a victory that had stunned other competitors and spectators alike, including mother Sandra who was an emotional spectator.

Finishing with a 2 min, 26 sec margin back to second place, Petersen sent a stern message to her competitors who may well be thinking about challenging for her title at next year’s National Champs in Napier.

With Petersen again compet-ing in this age group in 2006 there will no doubt be a race on their hands.

Petersen has had an incred-ible year.

Her victory in Christchurch followed success at the Waikato Secondary Schools Duathlon Championships (see story on local duathletes page 15).

She was second at the Du-athlon Nationals last year at Napier, second at NZ Second-ary Schools Cycling Champs in two events at Fielding last September, selected for the NZ U17 Cycling Team in 2005 and claimed gold in the U17 Girls North Island Cycling Champi-onship two weekends ago.

She’s also a member of the NZ Soccer Academy in her age group.

EMMA PETERSEN’S cycling prowess left rivals in her wake in the NZ Secondary Schools Duathlon Championships. 200051AD

YOUR LETTERS

Thank you for printing Mike Van Der Hoeven’s warning message in last Tuesday’s Courier.

This was the fi rst most people knew that submissions closed on Friday at the Council.

Mr Van Der Hoeven is correct when he says there are only so many dollars to be spent in Te Awamutu and closing the access to Bond Road and Triangle Shops to widen the roundabout and fast track all the traffi c straight to the new ‘proposed’ supermarket is not going to help our local existing businesses.

People who live in Bond Road will now contemplate access and

egress onto the State Highway on Ohaupo Road and the huge amount of trucks in that business area.

Taking your children to school at Pekerau, having the ambulance and fi re brigade services fi nd you quickly are just a few of the imag-ined changes.

A resident of Bond Road says in 50 years he has never seen an accident at what we once called Vazey’s corner’ or the entrance to Bond Road.

Come on Council - how about some loyalty to your own people?

DOREEN KELLYAbridged

Thanks for warning

Grateful for support

The committee of Te Awamutu Sub Branch of Save the Children NZ sin-cerely thanks supporters of our recent raffl e and luncheon.

With a very generous donation added, $1500 was raised.

Delightful entertain-ment by the Kihikihi Primary School choir, led by Ms Miriam Miller, was thoroughly enjoyed by luncheon guests.

We also thank Salva-dors, St John’s Church, the Courier and Wool-worths for their varied gifts contributing to the rewarding result.

We are very grateful to our community for giving generously to children in great need.

ALWYN LENAARTSSecretary

Thank goodness for people like your correspondent A. P. Bashford, who is obvi-ously prepared to debate religious issues.

I was surprised that he chose such a narrow defi nition of the word ‘atheist’. He implied that an atheist believed in noth-ing, and to quote his letter, ‘you can’t be an atheist and have a wide range of beliefs’.

A quick look at the Concise English Dictionary would have stopped his epistle to the Courier in its tracks. The defi nition of ‘atheism’ is the doctrine or belief that there is no God; it doesn’t restrict one from having a wide range of other values and beliefs.

For some people their religious beliefs are the centre of their lives, and I accept that. For many, including myself, strong beliefs in the human spirit, a justice sys-tem that is fair to all and basic human rights prevail.

I guess I return to my original thoughts about people who proselytize their reli-gious beliefs at my back door; I object to that.

MICHAEL COX

Atheist can still have range of views

By Cathy AsplinTe Awamutu residents

John and Ngara Earwaker started a winning combina-tion in 1949 when they met at a dance and teamed up to triumph in the Monte Carlo.

The couple were students in Dunedin at the time - Mrs Earwaker (nee Mackley) was in her fi rst year at Teachers’ Training College, while Mr Earwaker was in his third at University.

Although from the North Island, and due to complete her training here, the obvi-ous ‘attraction’ of staying in the South Island saw Mrs Earwaker remain in Dun-edin.

They married there on July 2, 1955 after she sat her fi nal

exams.While Mr Earwaker was at

Medical School Mrs Earwaker went on to train as a nurse.

“I decided if you can’t beat them you may as well join them!”

Mr Earwaker was a house surgeon at Invercargill ini-tially, before the couple came to the Waikato in 1957.

Mr Earwaker took over a practice in Te Kuiti in 1958 and the couple made an ideal partnership - Mrs Earwaker’s medical training and teach-ing skills came to the fore when dealing with patients.

“Ngara was tremendously valuable - providing informa-tion and vital support over the phone.

“In those days a GP visited

patients and was called out at all hours of the day and night.”

While Te Kuiti had a ‘highly functional hospital’ then, Mr Earwaker says centralisation and specialisa-tion has changed the face of healthcare over the years.

“I always say we had the best of it really, after the war we could run our practice in the way we saw fi t - we had the freedom to exercise our own judgement without all the red tape, forms and re-strictions around now.

“GPs still have plenty of responsibility today, but the regulations mean they are less fl exible which reduces their effi ciency.

“There is certainly less interest in being a GP in a rural area today and there’s not the same after-hours care we used to provide.

“Being in a small town like Te Kuiti meant we also be-came closely involved in the community.”

Despite being busy with the practice and bringing up a young family of four they found time to help in a vari-ety of ways.

Mrs Earwaker was a homecraft teacher, a Plun-ket Nurse for several years and ran Positive Parenting courses.

Mr Earwaker was involved with St John Ambulance, the Stroke Foundation and St Andrew’s Presbyterian Church.

After Mr Earwaker sold his practice in 1995 they travelled extensively and

stayed with hosts in several countries.

“On our return we were keen to have our house al-tered so that we could have people stay comfortably with us as well, but we realised it was going to be too diffi cult to alter our existing house.

“On one of our regular trips to the cinema in Te Awamutu we were looking in the nearby real estate agents’ windows and were impressed with what we saw.

“There was so much selec-tion here and it was very central. We walked into this house and it was just what we wanted.”

For Mrs Earwaker she has come ‘full circle’ returning to the town where she attended high school.

The couple have also be-come closely involved in the community here.

Mr Earwaker transferred to Te Awamutu Rotary, was on the Gracelands Trust for several years and is now in-volved with Probus

Mrs Earwaker has contin-ued her involvement with Save the Children and both enjoy Bridge, tramping and gardening.

They celebrated their Gold-en Anniversary with family (including their four children and seven grandchildren) friends and surviving mem-bers of their wedding party.

A special visitor to the func-tion was their fl owergirl (four years old when they married) who returned to New Zealand from New York to share in the celebrations.

Rotary’s glamour nightTe Awamutu Rotary

Club’s change of offi cers meeting took on even more glamour as the opportunity was taken to present a number of club awards.

Past president Sid Lim handed over the chain of offi ce to new president Michael Cox.

Mr Lim also made the presentation of the club’s highest recognition to a fellow member, the Paul Harrison Fellowship, to Bill McLaughlin for meritorious service to both the club and com-munity.

The club award of the ‘Log of Wood’ trophy for outstanding contribu-tion in a project during the last year went to Richard Reynolds.

Te Awamutu Rotary also honoured members of the public who have made signifi cant contri-butions to community activities.

Awards went to Heather Garrett, Bruce and Stephanie Owen and Joan Furborough.

Mrs Garrett has a record of long service for the Country Women’s Institute, the Waikato PTA, Pirongia Forest Park Lodge and, with her husband Les, in hosting motor cycle ral-lies and gymkhanas.

The Owens were hon-oured for a long history of service to the commu-nity over 35 years.

As a team they created and manage the highly respected Kainga Aroha Community House and offer budget advice.

Mrs Owen has been involved in Guiding at a

senior level and was the fi rst woman member of Jaycees and lady presi-dent for Waikato.

She is an Anglican priest and is well known for her ministrations.

Mr Owen had a distin-guished Jaycee career, including commission-ing the Rosetown Direc-tory.

His budgeting advice is respected locally and nationally and he is a leading light in Te Awamutu Contract Bridge, especially at coaching.

Mrs Furborough is well known for her pi-ano and organ recitals, especially for Tokanui patients for over 17 years.

When she moved into town she was much in

demand for socials and weddings and today she lives near waikato Hos-

pital and is active in the Chaplains department and as a hospital visitor.

Magic captain hits townAt last week’s policy committee meeting, Waipa

District Council publicly acknowledged a highly successful season by the Waikato Bay of Plenty Magic netball team.

Mayor Alan Livingston congratulated co-cap-tain of the National Bank Cup winning team Amigene Metcalfe, who was at the meeting.

He said Waipa residents were proud of Magic’s achievement and the way in which the district had contributed to their success.

Magic coach Noeline Taurua has acknowledged Te Awamutu as being the ‘home’ of the Magic, with the Trust Waikato Te Awamutu Events Centre used for a pre-season tournament and practise sessions.

Waipa has provided signifi cant sponsorship support and has a strong presence in the team. Amigene, Laura Langman and Carla Sutton are Waipa residents and have been joined by Joeline Henry who now lives in Cambridge.

Metcalfe thanked the Waipa Council and com-munity for their great support.

“I’ve been blown away by the way the public of Cambridge and Te Awamutu have got behind us over recent years.”

She put the Magic’s success down to thorough pre-season preparation, a belief in themselves and skill and fi tness levels that combined to make them better than any of the other franchises.

MAGIC captain Amigene Metcalfe was stoked to see her team’s cup winning banner taking pride of place at Paper Plus. She is pictured with College Open A’s Ashley Webb, a part-time worker at Paper Plus. 200057AD

Refuge appeal this week

Of the 22,523 women and children who used Women’s Refuge services in New Zealand last year, 84% were new clients.

The 529 unpaid and 210 paid staff in Women’s Refuges throughout New Zealand provided assist-ance to 13,837 women and 8,686 children.

Since 1995, the numbers of women and children receiving services from refuges has increased by 25%.

Average length of stay in refuges increased from 12 days in 2000 to 31 days in 2004.

Government currently provides $4 million to refuges for direct services, which represents 22% of the total costs for providing services for women and children to create safer lives.

This week is the annual Women’s Refuge Ap-peal Week and Te Awamutu Women’s Refuge will be fundraising with a raffl e stall outside the BNZ this Friday.

During the year Te Awamutu Women’s Refuge supported 47 women and 59 children in its refuge house. It also supported 60 women and 20 children in the community.

“We have never before had such a wide diversity of ethnicities in the families we have supported,” says administrator Ann Mellor in her annual re-port for the year ended March 31, 2005.

New advocates attended a training session in May with Brenda Campbell from Napier Women’s Refuge, which was also attended by experienced advocates. From the session two new advocates signed up. Membership has been maintained at 14. A number of other workshops and hui were at-tended by delegates.

A donation of a 1989 Nissan Prairie van has pro-vided a great boost for the Refuge.

With fi nancial help from Altrusa and Rosetown Lions two new computer stations were bought for the offi ce, meaning two computers can now be operated.

A grant of $5000 from Trust Waikato assisted with offi ce rent, $2000 from the Caversham Trust with emergency clothing and food and $1000 from the Community Trust with funding a children’s advocate.

A number of local businesses and organisations were also generous in their support for the work of the Refuge in helping women and children to live free from domestic violence.

Kakepuku Mountain has received plenty of attention from the community recently.

Pokuru school chil-

dren planted shrubs near the carpark dur-ing the last week of term, while a commu-nity planting was held

on Sunday.A working bee was

also held last week to clear blackberry canes.

The Kakepuku

Mountain Conserva-tion Society is current-ly going through the process of developing a management plan for the mountain.

New chairperson Owen Corlett says the plan will set out how the mountain will be managed in the future.

“Consultation with the community will be an essential part of the drawing up of this plan.

“The consultation process has started and further community meetings are planned for the near future.“

The society has re-cently been granted $2000 from Environ-ment Waikato and $3000 from DoC.

Waipa District Council and DoC have pledged fi nancial sup-port for the current planting which is tak-ing place on WDC land. Eco-sourced shrubs that are appropriate for Mt Kakepuku are being planted.

Don’t forget to book.Bookings for advertising in the next Waikato Yellow and White Pages are about to close. To make sure you don't miss out, phone 0800 803 809 now.

Community caring for Mt Kakepuku

Bobcat operator returns home to run businessIN BUSINESS CIRCLES

When it comes to operating a bobcat Brad McClunie has done just about everything - from digging up lawns to burying whales on the beach.

He now operates his own business ‘A1 Bobcats Ltd’ here, after recently returning to the area from the Bay of Plenty.

It was while living in Tauran-ga that he was called on to bury whales at Maketu, as well as resurfacing the walking track around the Mount.

He also did plenty of work in the construction industry,

helping the continuing building boom in the Bay of Plenty.

“They are very particular about work done on building sites over there and I was gain-ing a very good reputation for my accurate, reliable work. But my wife and I wanted to come back to the Waikato.

“We have a young daughter and our family is here, so when an opportunity arose to relocate the business here we decided to take it.”

He works closely with Waikato Bobcats (particularly

on larger jobs), a fi rm he previ-ously worked for and has seven years experience, both in the BOP and around the Waikato.

A1 Bobcats Ltd can help on new house sites or farms, with excavations, driveways, lawn levelling, landscaping and demolition work.

Mr McClunie works fl exible hours anywhere in the Waikato and offers friendly, helpful serv-ice at a reasonable rate.

For quotes or further infor-mation contact him on 027 257 4991 or 870 2511 a/h.

Your Community Board has been work-ing on solving quite a number of issues you, our community, have put before us.

There doesn’t seem to be an answer for getting the big trucks out of our main street yet, but we will ask for an update on progress or other-wise and let you know through the Courier.

You may recall the Board gave KTAB $50,000 to improve Pioneer Walk. Thanks to this gesture, Council have now added an-other $50,000 and work will commence soon.

KTAB will work alongside Council staff and we look forward to the end product.

I know that mothers pushing prams, people with disabilities riding scooters, wheelchair users, have all been con-

sidered in the plan so Pioneer Walk could be-come a favourite place to visit and enjoy when the walkway is paved.

We should soon be able to see the Chow Hill report on issues re-lating to developing and promoting our town cen-tre. We urge everyone to take an interest in this report and come along to our Board meeting and say whether you agree or not.

The plans have been made available for the new toilets to be built near the Information Centre.

The matter has been given some urgency so hopefully we will soon see some attractive, well designed toilets for you and our visitors.

The Board continues to keep an eye on the Events Centre and con-tinues to ask Council

when we might be able to get a cup of tea or cof-fee there.

There are new tables and chairs and a sofa or two in the foyer area, but no reason to sit there and enjoy the outing.

Our latest recom-mendation was to ask for a vending machine

dispensing tea or cof-fee etc.

The Board has con-tinued efforts to fi nd out where all our teen-agers swim and enjoy water sport. There is not enough space in the aquatic area for the exuberance of teenag-ers so maybe it’s time to get on and build the outside pool - what do you think?

I enjoy the benefi ts of having the indoor pool, but most of all I enjoy fresh air and sunshine when I swim.

I see the applications are available for the Community Board dis-cretionary grants. We have about $12,000 to disburse to applicants who meet the criteria and we know how im-portant every cent is to some organisations.

If you have a view-point on how we could

do this better, please come along and tell us.

A new seat has been installed in Turere Lane, thanks to your Board.

I will remind you that your Board has a role to act as an advocate for our community.

We are to maintain an overview of services which includes road-ing, footpaths, parks and reserves, children’s play areas, sports areas, signage, in fact every-thing that contributes to your health, safety and wellbeing.

We are there for you, so come along to our 7pm to 7.30pm public forum, and have your say. We meet on the third Tuesday of each month in the Council chambers.

We look forward to hearing from you and seeing you.

By Community Board Council representative

Hazel Barnes.

Haworth Motorsport driver Justin Haworth has regained the Pre65 Racing Saloon series title he previ-ously won in the 02/03 season.

He and his father Graham run a pair of classic Mustangs with help from Watson Haworth Motors staff Duncan Gallyer, Kevin McCullough, Ross Holme, Fred Rice and Kerry Haworth, plus Wayne Davies of Ohaupo. The engines are prepared by Kelford Cams and Graham Marsh Motorsport.

Justin cleared out this series to win by 57 points after winning every qualifying event, every scratch race and about one-third of the reverse grid races.

He went on to fi nish second in the North/South Challenge with one race win and a ninth from 35 cars when he could only engage second gear for the whole race.

His Mustang is powered by a 302ci V8 with 289 heads, billet steel crankshaft, dry sump and a Holley 4 barrel carburettor through a Ford Top Loader with straight cut dog engagement gears. With over 350kW on tap, and no limited slip diffs allowed, the Mustang can be a handful, especially in the wet.

Aluminium doors, bonnet and boot are used to reduce weight, and stopping power is only en-hanced by the addition of two pot

callipers to the front.Justin says the sport is great to

be part of and highly popular with the public.

“People like to see cars they know and recognise battling it out on the track,” he says.

“It’s full on racing on the track, then full on socialising afterwards.”

The tier two event is a favourite at tier one meetings such as V8 Tour-ing Cars and Super GTs. There are eight to 10 meetings per year involving between 25 to 35 cars.

The Haworths are also heavily involved in the administrative side of the sport. For more info check the www.pre65.org.nz website.

Nissan diesel Caravans keep on keeping on

By Dean TaylorWatson Haworth

Motors owner Graham Haworth loves his exotic cars. He and his son also race Mustangs (see page 11).

So with this in mind they sent me onto the streets to test drive a 2001 Nissan caravan diesel.

The fact is these vans are the bread and but-ter for the business, so much so they now spe-cialise in the importation of this one model in long or short wheelbase, high or low roof and either four speed auto or fi ve speed manual.

All have the proven 3.2 litre diesel engine which has a proven track record for reliability. This Nissan development does not have a cam belt.

My Dual Door LWB model is selling at just under $17,000 and rep-resents great value for a business client.

The sheer simplicity of the design and cab suggest there is really nothing to go wrong or break.

Watson Haworth Mo-tors sell these vehicles all over New Zealand. They have about 10 ar-

riving each month, from 1998 to 2001 models priced from over $10,000 to about $17,000.

I took mine cruising and had to be impressed by the pull of the big die-sel. It only has 79kW, but the 221Nm of torque is very handy.

What else can climb the steep side of College Street in fourth.

The back is spacious, and with a rear door and two sided doors, must be a tradesman’s dream.

The only downsides were a radio that can’t get Hauraki and a skin-nyish driver’s seat.

Mitsubishi Galant 1977-2005By Dean Taylor

They’ve been around through four decades. Now they are going.

One of Mitsubishi’s favourite models, the Galant, is being replaced.

I drove one of the run-out specials from Te Awamutu Motors, the 2.0 litre automatic, and was reminded that they are very driveable, reason-ably well appointed and great value for money.

It’s also a good looking car, especially with the spoiler fi tted.

The 100Kw engine isn’t mind blowing, but its a proven unit with good reli-ability and good torque.

It fi ts well with the au-tomatic, and can be fun using the sports mode shifter.

And it follows a tradi-tion of very good cars, although in the Mitsubishi lineage, the Galant hasn’t always been the family saloon.

In fact in the 1970’s when it was fi rst released the Galant GTO Colt was the equivalent of today’s Lancer Evo.

It became a bit more

sedate in the 80’s, when it also shifted to front wheel drive, and then set-tled into it’s 2.0 litre fam-ily saloon role in the 90’s, although the new versions went up-market with the 2.5 litre V6 option.

Mitsubishi are also dropping the 3.5 litre Diamante from the new range.

The 2.0 litre segment of the market will be fi lled by the bigger Lancers.

The next segment of the market will be fi lled by

the new, Australian made Mitsubishi 380. The name refers to the 3.8 litre V6 powerplant.

Galant lovers can take some consolation in the fact the 380 is based

on the American Galant platform.

Mitsubishi say the new car, which we will see early November, is big-ger in all respects than its Australian competition.

Mark Wardlow’s bright yellow VW Beetle at-tracts plenty of attention wherever it goes.

At the car show in Te Awamutu earlier this year, fans chatted to him about his cute little beetle and the VW club he belongs to.

But the car also dou-bles as a moving bill-board for his business.

Mr Wardlow has de-veloped and markets ‘EzeWash - EzeShine’, a two-in-one vehicle grooming product that (as its name suggests) is very easy to use, economical and environ-mentally friendly.

“EzeWash - EzeShine is a relatively new prod-uct on the market. It has been researched and developed using modern technology to comple-ment the latest paint fi nishes and to excel as a cleaner/enhancer in today’s environment.

“Product effi ciency and economy were paramount in this devel-opment - the result is a simple, one-step cleaner - requiring only a little extra effort in extreme cases - that is versatile and leaves a long-last-ing shine to enhance any car, boat, motorbike, helicopter or tractor.”

The EzeWash website (www.eze.co.nz) fea-

tures many testimonials, including some from owners of helicopters, V8 touring cars, classic cars and contracting equipment.

“I’ve even had peo-ple tell me its great for cleaning windows and showers.

“What’s more the product is easy on the

environment. It has a neutral pH (the same as your skin) and most importantly, contains no waxes or silicones that can contribute to the build-up of potentially hazardous fi lm on your windscreen.”

Mr Wardlow says the New Zealand made product with ISO 9001

accreditation produces a long-lasting shine on vehicles, is very easy to use and as a bonus for every 1 litre bottle purchased, $1 goes to help CCS.

Locally EzeWash - EzeShine is available from Te Awamutu Motors and the Mobil Service Station.

College duathletes ruleTe Awamutu College duath-

letes have maintained their vice-like grip on the Waikato Secondary Schools’ champi-onship trophy.

This year’s event at Te Awamutu ended in a dead-heat between Cambridge High and Te Awamutu Col-lege, with Waikato Diocesan third.

Te Awamutu College took the trophy, for the fi fth year running, by virtue of their two fi rst placings to Cambridge High School’s one.

Errol Newlands, of the host Waikato Cycling Sports Acad-emy, says it was an outstand-ing performance by the small-er than usual four-strong Te Awamutu team, despite the annual school duathlon being cancelled this year.

With Emma Petersen and Callum Newlands in the un-der-16 boys’ and girls’ fi elds, there was always a chance of success for the home team in

this age group. Trailing after the fi rst

3.5km run, Newlands wrapped up the Waikato title with a dominant 16km cycle leg that allowed him to cruise through the fi nal 2.5km run. He took the gold from Joe Nabbs (second) and Simon Wilkes (third), both of St Paul’s.

Newlands was pleased to fi nish his race in time to watch training-mate Petersen powering home to take the girls’ U16 title.

Petersen trailed Rachael Smith (Waikato Diocesan) and Katy Pottinger (Hamil-ton GHS) after the fi rst run leg but showed them why she’s New Zealand’s form cy-clist in her age group.

A powerful fi nal run leg saw her beat second placed Smith home by three minutes 45sec-onds and Pottinger by 5.09.

Te Awamutu College third former Josh Gibson did his best to follow suit.

He kick-started his com-petitive duathlon career with a silver medal winning performance in the under-14 boys’ event.

Having only recently taken up cycling as a sport, he is showing plenty of promise.

St Peter’s Kelvin Drower took fi rst place in the under-19 boys’ event on the back of a strong fi rst run. He then held off the chasers on the bike and fi nished strongly on the fi nal run.

Former Te Awamutu Col-lege student David Swney helped St Paul’s Collegiate get their medal haul under-way with second placing. His was a solid allround perform-ance.

A feature of this year’s championships was the addi-tional section for Year 7 and 8 competitors.

Hayden McCormick and Sean Fleck did their St Patrick’s School proud taking out the quinella in the Year 7 boys’ event.

McCormick took fi rst place with an impressive run/bike/run.

Fleck placed third but was elevated to second because competitors from outside of the Waikato were unable to claim medals.

It was the fi rst competitive duathlon for both of the boys.

Te Awamutu Intermediate cleaned up the girls’ Year 8 event, fi lling the fi rst four Waikato placings.

Paige Metcalfe won from Erin Pemberton, with Jodi Thompson third and Brittany Thompson fourth.

Again, these girls were com-peting in their fi rst competi-tive duathlon and showed lots of enthusiasm for the sport.

The Year 8 girls’ race was won by Michaela Guy of Bucklands Beach Intermedi-ate.

Paige was fi fth overall, two minutes 47 seconds down on the winner.

Te Awamutu Sports booked them-selves a semi fi nal spot in Waikato premier club rugby with a coura-geous 27-19 away win over Te Rapa on Saturday.

It was a well contested match with plenty at stake, but scribe Peter Bain reports that Sports proved too powerful up front for Te Rapa.

They now face Hamilton Old Boys away for a place in the champion-ship fi nal.

Things didn’t go Ecoab Te Awamu-tu Sports way initially, and it was Te Rapa who made the better start scoring a try in the fi rst fi ve minutes after Sports failed to clean up a kick deep into their corner.

For the next 20 minutes, Te Rapa kept Sports pinned down in their own half with some accurate line kicks.

Sports were guilty of too many in-fringements at the rucks and mauls and Te Rapa added a further two penalties and worked out to a handy 13-0 lead.

Sports fi nally stirred and man-aged to get their hands on the ball, with the pack driving Te Rapa deep into their half.

Prop Nathan White charged through some weak defence to score next to the posts.

From the restart Sports’ forwards started to dominate up front. You could have thrown a blanket over the pack as they started a textbook driving maul which saw them go from their 22 to Te Rapa’s 22.

After a series of drives at the line, Sports moved the ball out wide and right-wing Artimus Mudalier went over close to the corner.

Sports now had complete control up front and gaps started to appear in Te Rapa’s defence.

Centre, Anthony Crowley took full advantage and found a big hole in midfi eld, with fl anker Steve Scott on his shoulder to take the fi nal pass and score under the posts.

Waylon Tangahou added his third conversion and Sports went to the break 21-13 ahead.

Sports started the second half much the same as they fi nished the fi rst.

The forward pack smashed Te Rapa’s scrum and drove them off their own ball.

Tangahou added another penalty and Sports went close to scoring on a couple of occasions only to be denied by some desperate Te Rapa defence.

With time running out Te Rapa mounted an attack of their own. Sports were quite often defending hard on their own line and were guilty of giving away penalties.

Te Rapa converted two more pen-alties to close the score up to 24-19.

Sports had the fi nal say with Tan-gahou adding his second penalty to keep his 100% record for the game, with his 12 points capping off a fi ne performance.

Coach Martyn Steffert was pleased with the way his team fought back after a slow start to dominate up front and defend well late in the game.

After the fi nal whistle the team showed their appreciation to the large group of supporters who were on hand and the team hope many more will follow them as they take on Hamilton Old Boys in Hamilton on Saturday.

Sports know only too well that Hamilton Old Boys are a tough nut to crack, but they will be leaving no ‘petrol in the tank’ as they bid for a fi nals spot.

Sports make top four with victory against Te Rapa

Two late tries gave Waikato divi-sion 1B rugby leaders Mangakino a somewhat fl attering 32-10 win over Te Awamutu Marist at Mangakino.

Merial sponsored Marist trailed 17-3 at halftime, having conceded three tries. Dion Pryor kicked a pen-alty in reply.

Marist fought hard against the bigger home pack in the second half, holding them scoreless for 20 minutes.

First fi ve Jamie Potroz scored a try, converted by Pryor to close to 22-10.

Marist were also held up over the line on two occasions.

The fi nal scoreline was blown out by two Mangakino tries in the last fi ve minutes, against the run of play.

Forwards to stand out for Marist were front rowers Kasaina Fuapau, Bryce McCandlish, and Puhoi Heta on the fl ank.

Backs to impress were Willie Makaea, Marty Rodgers and Tau-rean McGurther.

Olivers Panelworks and Super Liqour players of the day were Rodg-ers and Heta.

their own town.”To be in to win simply put

Sam EdwardsMovie ReviewWhat: Five Children

and It (PG)Movie Meter: ★★★★

It is about as British as schoolhats, tea and Harry Potter, asbutlers and nannies, and asenjoyably entertaining for theschool holiday anklebiters asanything we have seen thisyear.The tale of five children andtheir spellbinding friend ismagic. Here’s a movie whichshouts that not everythingmade in the English languageis the same, that the distancebetween Rugrats or SouthPark and Five Children iseven greater than the AtlanticOcean which separates them.One is brash. The other issubtle. One has its gagssignalled several times beforethey arrive. The other creepsup and catches one on thefunny bone. One tells uswhat we really already know.The other introduces us topeople as individual as ourfriends and family.This movie, from the novelby E Nesbit, is one of thelatter kind. That means someviewers will be as irritated bythe English accents andmanners as others are by anAmerican drawl, but forthose views who can enjoy asummer in the lives of fivekids evacuated from Londonduring World War I, and sentto live with their eccentricallyirascible Uncle Albert, therewill be chuckles and laughter,and sympathy andinvolvement, andentertainment galore.The sand fairy is memorable,the kids hijinks are fun, theirconcerns and scatty -sometimes bratty - behaviouris intriguing andunderstandable, and theirloyalty and concern for eachother is rewarding. Lotshappens, the pace is good,sets and countryside areBritish classics, and there aresome great laughs to enjoy.

The IslandDirector Micheal

Bay brings to screen another action-packed adventure which is sure to live up to his previous successes and brings to life the fear of what sci-ence will be capable of in the future.

Lincoln Six-Echo (Ewan McGregor) is a resident of a seemingly utopian but contained facility in the mid-21st century.

Like all of the inhab-itants of this carefully controlled environment, Lincoln hopes to be chosen to go to the ‘The Island’ - reportedly the last uncontaminated spot on the planet.

But Lincoln soon dis-covers that everything about his existence is a lie. He and all of the other inhabitants of the facility are actually hu-man clones whose only purpose is to provide ‘spare parts’ for their original human coun-terparts.

Realizing it is only a matter of time before he is ‘harvested,’ Lincoln makes a daring escape with a beautiful fellow resident named Jordan Two-Delta (Scarlett Jo-hansson).

Relentlessly pursed by the forces of the sin-ister institute that once housed them, Lincoln and Jordan engage in a race for their lives to literally meet their makers.
