A recently completed survey of Waipa residents found an overwhelming 96% believed they enjoyed a high quality of life in Waipa District.

The independent survey was conducted by the National Re-search Bureau and has been undertaken annually by Waipa District Council since 1992.

The survey is a good way for Council to see how it is perform-ing in the eyes of residents.

The survey covers the key ser-vices provided by Waipa District Council as well as the perfor-mance of elected members and staff.

It is conducted during June/July each year and involves con-tacting 400 residents.

In order to be statistically ro-bust the survey sample is both ward and gender balanced and has a margin of error of plus or minus 5%.

Similar surveys are also un-dertaken in other areas and this allows direct comparisons to be made between councils.

Key fi ndings include:● The satisfaction rating for

all key services generally exceed-ed 80%, with Council-provided water and wastewater services at or above 90%.

● Improvements in satisfaction levels were recorded for noise control, dog control, water sup-ply, wastewater and stormwater services.

● Levels of dissatisfaction have

risen slightly for road safety and swimming pools.

● Levels of satisfaction in Waipa are above average for road maintenance and safety, noise control and dog control.

● The performance of Council staff and Mayor and councillors is rated well above the national average.

● 82% of residents believe they have received timely responses to their enquiries and were happy with the response from Council. Waipa District Council was third highest in the survey group

● 96% of residents believed that the quality of life in the dis-trict was good or very good - well above national average.

● Residents rating community

spirit good or very good rose from 83% to 88% and ranked second overall, well above the national average

● Almost 90% of residents believed that the district was as good or a better place to live than three years ago, and only 4% be-lieved it was worse.

“Understanding residents’ views of Council’s performance will allow us to be more respon-sive in those areas of greatest concern,” says Ross McNeil, group manager policy and strategy.

“We know that there is always room for improvement, but we are proud of the positive respons-es we have received. Clearly resi-dents are also extremely proud of the district they live in.”

Residents rate Waipa highly

Resolution not satisfyingBy Dean Taylor

It is almost two years since the Te Awamutu Courier published the plight of Dave and Angela Widdowson, who were amongst the fi rst in the country to register with the Weathertight Homes Resolution Service (WHRS).

The couple have only just had their adjudication, and although they won and were awarded $182,000, the largest settlement awarded to date, don’t feel they have received justice.

Mr Widdowson says the fi ght has been going since soon after they bought their home from Pe-ter and Debbie Bekx in 1999.

The couple had been building the home themselves since 1992.

Soon after moving in problems became evident.

The Widdowsons claimed com-pensation from the Bekx’ and Waipa District Council, citing poor workmanship by the builder and negligence from Council which was responsible for carry-ing out inspections.

The WHRS determined the builder is responsible for 80% of the claim and Waipa District Council 20%.

Mr Widdowson says their claim was for a total of $330,000, which would be the cost of rebuilding the home.

Their experts do not believe it is possible or feasible to repair the home.

It has also cost the family $70,000 in legal and expert bills to make their case, but they can-not claim those expenses under the rules of the WHRS, not to

mention health issues the family suffered.

Unable to sell the home, the couple have shifted for their own health.

Mr Widdowson says the WHRS is bound to fail the public because of the scale of the claims and nature of the arguments, which should be heard in a court of law.

He says after two years his case is heading to the High Court any-way because Waipa District Coun-

cil has appealed on 10 points.Mr Widdowson says this means

even more delays, more deteriora-tion to his home and more costs.

WHRS fi gures show they have completed 186 resolutions; 130 by mediation, 12 by adjudication and 44 by other means.

Mr Widdowson says with an-other 1936 active claims in the pipeline, the process is going to be lengthy, especially as he believes three-quarters of the resolutions

by adjudication are under appeal.He says it is also clear the argu-

ments are not about what is best for the affected homeowners, but about minimising blame and loss for local bodies. He says the only winners will be the lawyers.

Mr Widdowson believes Waipa District Council should look af-ter its constituents in the fi rst instance, then take the fi ght to their insurers over where to re-cover costs.

One brush tars all

Firstly let me take this oppor-tunity to sincerely thank all those voters who voted for me.

I am very disappointed not to have been elected to Council, I tried very hard, I will get over it.

Having said that I seem to have been caught by surprise over an invitation by James Parlane to co-lead a Council watch dog group - it was news to me.

I can assure your readers that that is out of the question. Our dif-ferences are too great.

Throughout my campaigning (and in future campaigns) it has

always been my contention that if Council is not performing it is the task of the elected representatives to assert themselves; they are ac-countable.

I have never attacked staff and never will. I believe the staff at Waipa District Council are gener-ally good people doing their jobs to the best of their ability under the direction of the Council - they are not the enemy!

Congratulations to the success-ful candidates - please look after the land.

STEPHEN LEE

Not part of watchdog group

YOUR LETTERS

I would like to thank all of the people who sup-ported me and voted for me in our local election.

I was overwhelmed with your telephone calls and visits because of my success.

You can be assured I will be in there working for you and asking for positive outcomes to meet the needs of the people of Te Awamutu and the Waipa District.

I am not going to make any rash promises and you already know that when you ask me to do something I will try to make it happen.

Keep those telephone calls coming.To the other successful candidates, congratula-

tions, and to the candidates who were not suc-cessful thank you for making it a good race.

HAZEL BARNESTe Awamutu Ward councillor

Voter apathy hard to understand

Our new Local Body representatives are elect-ed, even though, yet again, apathy triumphed by a small majority! I hope, but not realistically, that those who didn’t bother to vote will, at least over the next three years, restrain themselves from public criticism of the efforts of those good people whom the rest of us elected.

On behalf of Te Awamutu Grey Power, I wish to acknowledge the good work done by the Courier, not only in the coverage you gave to our candi-dates’ political forum, but also in the detailed information which you provided about the candi-dates. Even the apathetic can’t complain about a lack of information about who was standing!

It may be of interest to the community to know that a minor, but vital point was raised at our Forum, when a fl oor member asked that the can-didates, if elected would ensure that the Council and the Community Board would put some real pressure on Telecom to include Te Awamutu in the Hamilton free-calling area.

This request gained a unanimously positive re-sponse for all the candidates. Now we shall wait with interest to see when this action is initiated and what response, if any, we get from Telecom.

ALISTAIR KERR

Seeking positive outcomes for allI was saddened to read the write

up of October 14 headed: Chal-lenge for TA councillors.

Mr Empson says Te Awamutu ratepayers suffered in the past three years through a combination of divisiveness among their repre-sentatives and a poor attendance record.

Who in his opinion was responsi-ble for the divisiveness? Not me.

I am very surprised at a senior councillor choosing at this time to attack his collegues.

Mr Empson obtained informa-

tion regarding attendances during the past three years.

While the article states that I only attended 12 policy committee meetings, that was full meetings. The Waipa minutes show I at-tended 21 out of 26 meetings.

If Mr Empson feels that the Te Awamutu Ward has been let down by the councillors through divi-siveness in the past, either name them or butt out.

I can still hold my head high.GEORGE SIMMONS

Who else wants to lookgood this summer?

I know there will be people reading this who are just like me. BeforeI started at the gym I had all the excuses. I’m too overweight, I’llneed to lose some first, I like junk food too much. I can’t afford it, Ihaven’t got time, I couldn’t get in shape anyway because I’ve triedbefore, or I’ll do it later. Instead of thinking about what you mightmiss out on why don’t you start thinking about what you’ll gain.

Who else wants to look good this summer?You will be surprised how quickly you can shape up when you gothe right way about it.Did you know?It only takes 20 minutes training to get great results.You should finish your workout feeling invigorated not exhausted.Weight training burns more fat than aerobics.Weight training does not give women big muscles.More women work out than men.Some overweight people think they should lose weight before joining a gym because they worry about what everyone else willthink of them.

Did you make a resolution last summer thatyou would get in shape by this summer?

Waipa Networks up festival support

ART collector Garth O’Brien (left) discusses Chris Bryant’s 1997 works ‘Heke’ with Waipa Networks chief executive officer Ray Milner and festival co-organiser Roz Liddell. 293043AD

Waipa Networks has in-creased its support of the fi fth annual Rose and Cultural Fes-tival by sponsoring the Top Pics Competition and the fi rst major art exhibition.

Waipa Networks chief executive offi cer Ray Milner says the organi-sation is proud to be the major sponsor of the fes-tival since its beginnings in 2000.

“The event has grown sig-nifi cantly each year and this year’s festival promises to be bigger and brighter than ever,” he says.

“Arts and culture are impor-tant to us all and enrich our lives every day.

“The visual arts, music, dance, poetry, theatre, hand crafts and Maori culture have featured prominently in past festivals. This event is a great way to

help put Te Awamutu on the map, encourage people to visit and help fi ll our theatres and galleries.”

‘A View of Contemporary New Zealand Art’ promises to be an exhibiton that will challenge art lovers.

Waipa Networks and Waipa District Council

have made it possible to ex-hibit works from the pri-vate collection of Garth

and Trish O’Brien.The event will take place in

Council Chambers and will be open to the public from Monday, November 8 until Saturday, No-vember 13.

Waipa Networks Top Pics organisers are currently mount-ing this year’s entries in prepa-ration for judging.

The awards will be presented on Friday, November 19 and the entries will initially hang in

Waipa Networks offi ces, then later at Te Awamutu Visitor Information Centre.

This year’s festival dates have been altered slightly from usual to hopefully provide a better event.

The festival offi cially opens on Wednesday, November 3 and concludes on Rose Sunday, No-vember 21.

The week later dates means there will not be the major clash between Te Awamutu’s Rose Sunday and Cambridge’s Armistace Day events, plus it is hoped the weather will be bet-ter for a more spectacular rose display later in the month.

A full programme of festival events will be circulated soon, and it will be published in the Te Awamutu Courier.

Residents can also keep up to date with events on the www.teawamutu.co.nz website.

By Grant JohnstonKyne Foley of Ohaupo has

proven that not only is the pen mightier than the sword, so is the tongue.

The Year 8 pupil at Ohaupo Primary School recently col-lected a fi rst equal placing in his age group of the Kihikihi Rotary Club essay competition, to go along with his triumph in a host of speech competitions.

Kyne started by winning the senior boys’ speech competition at his school.

He went on to win the Year 8 boys’ section of the Waikato Full Primary Speech Competitions.

When he took top honours at the regional competition, he was competing with the cream of speakers from 180 schools throughout the region spread-ing from Coromandel to Taupo, and from Tauranga across to Raglan.

Kyne then competed against the four top winners (year 7 and 8 boys and girls) and won the overall champion speaker’s title.

His speech ‘A point of differ-ence’ celebrates the differences in the human race and was in-spired by his grandfather, who passed away in April.

Another inspiration for Kyne

has been Valerie Millington of Ohaupo School, who helped hone his skills in a young au-thor’s workshop.

His winning essay - a po-etic essay called ‘Tree Star’ is a poignant look at life through the eyes of a leaf.

It was written in Valerie Mil-lington’s garden.

Kyne turns 13 next month. He is grateful for the help he has received at Ohaupo Primary School and is looking forward to further developing his liter-ary and oral skills at Hamilton Boys High School next year.

See a copy of Kyne’s winning speech on page 9.

Kyne’s word power

CHAPTER AND VERSE: Kyne Foley with his award winning essay and speech, along with trophies and certificates he has collected. 293045AD

It’s that time of year when al-lergy sufferers may feel the ef-fects of many fl owering plants.

Although not proven, the strong scent of tree privet and Chinese privet fl owers is thought to aggravate hayfever and asthma. The leaves and berries of both plants are also poisonous.

Tree privet and Chinese priv-et were introduced to New Zea-land from China as ornamental

and hedging plants. Like many plant pests, privet

is a ‘garden escape’ and has the ability to successfully regener-ate in the wild.

Birds eat privet berries and spread the seeds.

Privet is a controlled plant pest under the Waikato Re-gional Pest Management Strategy because of its invasive characteristics and its effect on peoples’ health. Under the

strategy, it is the responsibility of landowners to remove privet from their properties.

Control of privet can be en-forced under strategy rules where neighbours have a health complaint about fl owering privet.

More information on plant pests in the Waikato Region can be found on Environ-ment Waikato’s website www.ew.govt.nz

Is privet getting up your nose?

By Kyne Foley (see stpry page 5)Celebrating our world, it’s a diffi cult thing to do right now.It’s diffi cult to write about and it’s even harder to talk about.What’s wrong with everyone? Why is there so much hatred?

Why is there so much intolerance?The act of humanity seems to be lost with wars and fi ghting

everywhere. It’s a very sad world if we accept that this is our lot don’t you agree?

I want to fi ne tune the microscope and focus in on ‘difference’/Differences in people are what we should all celebrate; it makes

us unalike and therefore unique.Different cultures and beliefs, different races, looks, ideas, dif-

ferent customs, different lifestyles and different upbringings.These are what makes life interesting and inspire us to learn

and to grow.We need differences. From the beginning of time there were

differences. God issued that historical warning to Adam and Eve about not eating the forbidden fruit.

After God caught them having that ... ‘well documented apple break’, he was ticked off!!! ... and thus the cycle of difference began.

It’ s a bit like planting a bag of mixed seeds in the ground. Hu-manity is like caring for those seeds. It’s something that we all need, but if we neglect to give it, nothing really grows.

When the seeds begin to grow, each plant is hugely different. They are different heights, different colours. Some need full sun-light ... we’ll call them Hollywood actors. Some need shade, the shy types (bit like me). Put together they bring colour and add interest to our world.

To really nail my point, let’s imagine for a moment a world with-out difference. There would be no great inventions or scientifi c breakthroughs, like that new bubble gum that comes in rolls ... We’d all think the same. No need to travel the world - no point - nothing would be different.

No mentors or people to look up to, we’d all achieve the same. Kids would agree with parents. I’d get home from school, mum would say ‘do ya homework’ and I’d say ‘gosh we think alike’. If for no other reason than that one ... bring on difference.

The question is who do we get our dislike of difference from? The answer is adults.

How many time do we hear the adults label people who are different. It’s hurtful, unfair and undeserving. Asians are all bad drivers. Americans are full of themselves. The Irish all seem to have one sandwich short of a picnic basket. The worst one is all redheads have hot tempers. What’s with that one?

As kids we don’t learn these things from our own experiences. Adults teach it to us. Attitudes handed down from one generation to the next. An intolerance of racial and religious difference is inherited. We have no reason to hate but simply and sadly ... we often just do. I speak for all of us when I say to the adults; you do us no favours by teaching us intolerance and to ridicule.

Celebrating the differences in each and every one of us on this planet shouldn’t be such a huge undertaking.

If humanity was practised by showing tolerance, appreciation and throwing a bit of forgiveness in the pot to all who are different, well ... what a damn amazing planet we would have.

The Martin name has been associated with retailing of elec-trical appliances in Te Awamutu for almost 50 years.

But that will come to an end next month when Martins Homelectrics Te Awamutu store is taken over by Selectrix.

Manager Matthew Weatherell, whose family have owned Martins Home Electrics since April 2001, has worked in the Te Awamutu store for the past 11 years.

He says the company has appreciated the custom and sup-port it has enjoyed from Te Awamutu shoppers.

Last day of business at Martins Homelectrics will be Octo-ber 29.

Big push onfor extra prison staff

Sunday saw the launch of the Department of Corrections’ major six-week advertising campaign for corrections offi cers.

It uses the faces, voices and stories of current staff members to describe the employment opportunities that the Department’s Public Prisons Service (PPS) offers.

The Prison Service has a current shortfall of staff with another 1800 needed for new facilities opening in the next few years.

The targetted campaign started with a full colour eight-page insert in the Sunday News, followed by a similar placement in all major dai-lies and regional papers.

A range of specialist publications, cinema and Maori television adver-tising will also be used.

The campaign is based around two themes – Are you a positive role model? and Make a change for the better.

General manager PPS, Phil Mc-Carthy says the initiative has two important goals:

● To recruit additional Correc-tions Offi cers to meet current staff shortfalls.

● To increase public understand-ing of New Zealand’s world class prison service, and provide a foun-dation for the additional staffi ng demands brought about by new facilities coming on stream over the next three years.

In addition to the campaign be-ing run in New Zealand, the PPS is recruiting in Samoa in partnership with the Department of Labour’s New Zealand Immigration Service and is planning a campaign in the United Kingdom.

Mr McCarthy says PPS has to become much more pro-active, in terms of both recruitment and tell-ing its story to the public.

“We are an organisation that has traditionally not had a recruitment problem,” he says.

“This made it all too easy for us to just get on and do our job well, and not worry about promoting our-selves. That position has changed. We currently face a very tight employment market and strong demands for increased staffi ng over the medium term.

“That said, we are confi dent in the strength, integrity and interna-tional reputation of our world-class prisons and in the quality of work and opportunity that we offer our employees.”

Taste of Japan now available in Te Awamutu IN BUSINESS CIRCLES

Murray and Lynnette Shields love Japanese food, so it’s no real surprise they have opened a su-shi bar in Te Awamutu.

Mr Shields says they have had a number of Japanese exchange students in their home and oper-ated a Japanese homestay at Pa-terangi for many years, so their latest venture is just a logical progression.

“We found a lot of people en-joyed sushi, but were going to Hamilton to enjoy a taste of Ja-pan. We decided to combine our love of Japanese food and the opportunity to provide it locally - Sugoi Sushi is the result.”

The couple chose Sugoi Sushi as their restaurant name be-cause sugoi means ‘wonderful or beautiful’.

The trays of reasonably priced sushi available instore certainly look just that.

Japanese staff members have

provided the expertise and skill to create the attractive variety of sushi that is already proving highly popular.

On the menu are a variety of rolled sushi (including vegetar-ian, pork, fi sh and chicken ver-sions), nigiri sushi (including avocado, corn, tuna and chicken), miso soup, noodles (udon, veg-etarian or chicken), curry (beef, pork or chicken) and tempura (prawn or vegetable) .

A set menu provides a selec-tion of dishes including rice, su-shi, pickle, salad and misa soup.

For those keen to fi nish off the meal in Japanese style, the menu also lists Green Tea icecream.

While Sugoi Sushi has only been open since Tuesday of last week, it hasn’t taken long for the word to spread.

On each of their opening days last week the sushi was ‘walking

out the door’ and was all sold out by early afternoon.

Mrs Shields says the quanti-ties being prepared have been increased each day to keep up with growing demand.

“We have had a wonderful response from the people of Te Awamutu and appreciate the support and positive comments received.”

For people who would like to include a taste of Japan on the menu for their next work gathering or dinner party, Sugoi Sushi is happy to provide dishes. Simply contact staff and discuss your requirements.

Sugoi Sushi (opposite the Te Awamutu Courier) is open Tues-day to Saturday from 9.30am -3pm.

Customers can chose to eat in the new restaurant or take items away. For further details or orders phone 871 3648.

November 6 will certainly be a red letter day in Kawhia with the offi cial opening of the new Kawhia Emergency Services Centre.

The new building is working brilliantly says Betty Bell, chair-person of the area committee and station commander for St John Ambulance.

St John has been using the new facility for four weeks, although Kawhia Fire Brigade is waiting for its computerised communications

system to be fully installed before joining its fellow emergency serv-ice in the building - hopefully in the next week or two.

The $420,000 building was funded through the New Zealand Fire Brigades Association to the tune of about $210,000, with Kawhia St John Ambulance pro-viding $55,000 and the balance from Midland Regional St John. Ambulance

The site, on the corner of Char-leton and Pouewe Streets was

provided by Otorohanga District Council, for which the emergency services pay a lease.

Mrs Bell says 500 to 600 peo-ple are expected to attend the opening - one being Police Min-ister George Hawkins who will open the facility.

The opening will take place from 11.30am, followed by tours of the building and a free hangi lunch. There are plans to erect a large marquee on the lawn to ac-commodate the crowd.

Sweepstakes fi shing contest this weekend

Kawhia Boat Club’s popular sweepstakes fi shing compe-tition is on again this Labour Weekend.

It is a fi shing competition in side and outside the harbour, where the prizes are provided by entry fees.

Weigh in closes at 4pm on Sunday, October 24 at the Boat Club.

There are fi ve categories, for snapper, gurnard, kahawai, trevally and other fi sh.

Entry fee is $10. Children under 12 years of age fi shing off the wharf have free entry. Tickets are available from Oparau Roadhouse and Kawhia Boat Club.PICTURED RIGHT: Competitors in this weekend’s fi shing contest will be hoping for a catch like this 11.1kg snapper caught by Stephen Warburton, fi shing with Mathew Patmore, near Taharoa buoy recently. The photo was taken by Bill Rogers at Oparau Roadhouse, part of a bait selling service that includes weighing and photographing fi sh for successful fi sherpeople.

Paterangi School jumping for Joy

By Colin ThorsenSport Waikato made

Joy Henderson’s day by springing a surprise morning tea shout for the birthday ‘girl’ at Paterangi School.

The beauty of it all was Sports Waikato were oblivious to the fact that it was the re-lief teacher and netball coach’s birthday on Thursday.

Joy was equally unaware of a morning tea ‘shout’ and awards ceremony on her behalf as winner of the Sport Waikato Community Sports Offi cial of the Month award.

She received a super prize pack kindly sup-plied by SBS (South-land Building Society), as well as a certifi cate of recognition.

Waipa sports co-ordinator, Janis Jeffers said Sport Waikato is excited about its new Commu-nity Sports Offi cial programme.

The programme has been in-stigated to acknowledge all those special volunteers who give their time freely to referee and umpire sport at grassroots level.

Every month, except Decem-ber and January, Sport Waikato will recieve nominations from schools, clubs and regional sports organisations.

They will select one of these nominees to be the Sport Waikato Community Sports Offi cial of the month.

Joy is the fi rst winner from this region.

Mark McLaughlin, sport de-velopment offi cer-clubs at Sport

Waikato said: “We are very aware that these people are often the brunt of negative comments. This is our way of rewarding them for the valued role they play in sport.”

Joy Henderson is co-ordinator of the Paterangi Netball Club.

Without her, the club was in danger of going into recess this year.

Apart from organising two ‘Future Ferns’ netball teams for Saturday competition, Joy pre-pared the teams for the Lower Waipa Schools’ championship seven-a-side tournament at Ngahinapouri School in June.

She coaches one of two teams at Paterangi School and organ-ises a coach for the other one.

Her team, Paterangi Polecats, recorded seven wins and a draw

in eight games. Joy is available every Saturday

at the Te Awamutu courts, ensur-ing that the teams are organised and ready to start on time.

She is also prepared to umpire at ‘the drop of a hat’.

The mother of three drives her children 4km to Paterangi School every day.

As a trained teacher, she is often called on at short notice as a relief teacher at schools in the area.

Paterangi School principal, Pat Raill said he is certain Joy’s calendar/diary is completely full every week.

“She is in a farming partner-ship with her husband Alan, but still manages to assist the school with transport for sporting and educational visits.”

Celebrating 100 years of bowling

A booklet packed with in-teresting facts, anecdotes and photographs has been produced to mark the centenary of Te Awamutu Bowling Club, which is celebrated this weekend.

President, Mick Rankin com-mends George Mandeno, the club’s current patron, for the initial fact-fi nding exercise which has formed the basis for this book.

John Jones, in collaboration with Gary Williams, has been responsible for the fi nal compila-tion which provides the reader with information regarding the fi rst 100 years of the club.

The book shows that Te Awamutu Bowling Club started from humble beginnings on the private lawns of Mr F. Edge-combe in Brady Street.

Edgecombe reportedly had a very accurate eye and loved to hit another player’s bowl off the ‘kitty’.

Occasionally he missed and one day had to retrieve his bowl from the swamp at the back of Rickits.

He became very annoyed when other players laughed at his misfortune - there was a large amount of unparliamentary lan-guage used.

There is no doubt that those private lawns would have been where the seeds of ideas about formation of a bowling club were sown.

The Waikato Argus reported: “at a meeting in Te Awamutu Public Library on 16/9/04, it was moved and seconded that the Te Awamutu Bowling Club be formed. Mr H. Irvine was elected president.”

It was a men’s only club.A separate women’s club was

formed in 1947, operating au-

tonomously until amalgamation of both clubs took place in 2000.

Progress from then on was swift.

In 1905, the town board re-served lots 136, 137 and 138 on the corner of Sloane and Brady streets for a bowling green and tennis court.

A new green was laid, along with a pavilion and shelter shed.

In 1910 the Puniu Domain Board advised of an available site at Victoria Park for bowls, tennis, croquet.

The pavilion was shifted from Brady Street in 1911 on pine skids, pulled by traction engine without mishap, other than the accidental pulling down of the main Auckland-Wellington tel-ephone wires.

One and a half greens were played on. The other half green was used for winter bowls and croquet in summer.

Croquet moved to its present site in 1935, when a second full sized bowling green was laid.

The third full sized green (alongside Bank Street) was laid in 1953.

During the 1990’s many clubs nationwide were changing to ar-tifi cial surfaces - costly to install but cost/time savers because of minimal maintenance require-ments.

A decision was made in 1994 to convert the green nearest Bank Street, plus the small winter green, to artifi cial all-weather surfaces.

Today’s pavilion structure bears little resemblence to that shifted from Brady Street in 1911.

An early 1970’s project con-siderably enlarged the size of the hall and produced substan-tial lounge upgrading.

This addition, suffi cient to hold eight indoor bowling mats, led to formation of Te Awamutu Indoor Bowling Club, which still operates successfully to-day.

Voluntary labour by club members for the lounge and backroom work, alone, was re-corded as 850 hours.

Huge amounts of time were also donated to all other jobs.

The club facilities are now second to none in the Waikato and can easily cater for double the membership fi gure which currently stands at 120.

Anyone interested in trying their hand at the game can con-tact either of the club captains, John Byett 871 3391 or Marga-ret Littlewood 871 6550.

DRESSED TO KILL: R L Henderson, president 1926-27, and A S Wallace, president 1912-13 and patron for 33 years from 1923-55.

Rampaging rugby reps

A 113-7 thrashing of Matama-ta capped an outstanding season for the unbeaten Te Awamutu Rugby Sub Union nine-year-old representative team.

The Ken Gillespie coached side played four games, scor-ing 177 points and conceding only 21.

Their campaign started with

a 30-0 win over Taupiri, fol-lowed by much harder earned victories against Morrinsville 17-0 and Cambridge 17-14 leading up to the hundred point massacre of Matamata.

Te Awamutu’s team was made up of the best players in this age group from the vari-ous clubs within the sub union.

They were nominated by their respective coaches.

Gillespie says they were a dedicated, well disciplined group, and showed excellent skills for their age.

Shane Crutchley and Rod Jefferies were the assistant coaches and Janette Gillespie offi ciated as team manager.

Rookie riders featureSeveral fi rst-time riders were

included in a fi eld of 95 for the opening round of Te Awamutu Sports Cycling Club’s summer road series.

The 10-race series, sponsored by Te A’ Cycles, is contested in seven grades on Tuesday evening.

Club spokesperson, Richard Mellsop says the grading sys-tem works well, ensuring all the riders are racing against cyclists of their own ability.

Four of the fi rst-timers en-tered the U15 race.

Josh Gibson fi nished second, just behind Sjoerd van Wang-tendonk, Mark Taylor was third, Sam Gaze fi fth and Re-becca Leijen seventh.

Mellsop says it was an out-standing effort by these new-comers, considering there was a strong head wind out to the turn.

There was plenty of inter-est in the outcome of the open

grade races - none more so than the F grade which saw the hus-band and wife pair of Mitch and Kelly Maclarn sprinting for fi rst place (or was it for who cooked tea that night). Kelly took the honours.

Third place went to Luci Montgomery.

Olympian Peter Latham re-corded the fastest time of the night winning the A grade. He covered the 26km out-and-back course around Kakepuku Moun-tain in 38 minutes 02 seconds.

Other grade winners were Pe-ter Latham (A), Simon Pope (B), Nick Read (C), John Smyth (D) and Alastair Tobin (E).

If you are interested in com-ing along for a ride contact Richard Mellsop 871 5553 or be at the Stadium on Armstrong Ave from 5.30pm. Races start at 6.30pm.

A grade: P Latham, 38.02, 1; K Moore 2, P Rennie 3. B grade: S Pope, 42.34, 1; M Montgomery 2, C Whittaker 3. C grade: N Reid, 44.42, 1; I Wright

Te Awamutu Courier and Tracs give readers the chance to see Damien Rice live at Auck-land’s Studio next Tuesday night.

Tickets are available from Ticketek and it is an R18 venue.

The tour is in support of his critically ac-claimed 2003 album ‘o’ which has been a stead-ily building success story, garnering positive reviews in New Zealand, Australia and in the UK where the album continues to re-enter the top 10 charts and appears on critics’ end-of-year favourite lists.

Ecstatic word of mouth and constant gig-ging has ensured Damien a fast growing global in-terest.

Alongside its remarkable sales success, the album has also proven aninternational critical triumph, with enthu-siastic reviews in such publications as, The U.S Industry Bible ‘Billboard’, ‘The LA Times’ ‘Rolling Stone’ and a multitude of others. Here in New Zealand, The Dominion Post declared last year, “This is your album of the year.”

Rice grew up on the outskirts of Dublin in Ireland, spending much of his childhood down by the River Liffey fi shing.

He then moved to Tuscany in March 1999 before going on to travel around Europe, busk-ing the streets.

Arriving back in Dublin a year later, loaded with ideas and a clear head, he got that fi rst demo together and sent it off to renowned pro-ducer and fi lm composer, David Arnold (Bjork, James Bond). Arnold liked what he heard and provided enough money to enable Damien to buy his own mobile studio.

With the album in the works, Damien re-leased his fi rst single ‘The Blower’s Daughter’ in Ireland in September 2001.

Entering straight into the top twenty, his ensuing tour was a resounding success. Damien’s debut album, ‘o’, was released the following February and immediately hailed by critics as “mesmerizing”, “ab-

sorbing”, “adventur-ous” and “emo-tional.”

‘o’ is now a plati-num status album in Ireland, and Damien Rice has received three

nominations in the Meteor Ireland Mu-sic Awards 2003, as well as scooping

the board in the Hot Press Read-ers’ Poll for Best Album, and entering the top fi ve for Best Male Singer, Best Live Act, Best Songwriter and Best Single.

Rice is deliberate about his art, and it’s in-creasingly rewarding.

Still, he maintains a commitment to sponta-neity, improvisation and living in the moment. Each show is different from the last, and he never plays a song the same way twice.

“The crowds are coming and that’s exciting,” he says. “On the other hand, it creates a big-ger expectation to deliver something, and a bigger challenge not to think about delivering anything.”

To be in to win simply put your name, ad-dress and daytime contact number on the back of a standard sized envelope, address it to ‘The Damien Rice Double Pass Feelers Com-petition’ and make sure it reaches our offi ce by 5pm Friday.

The Stepford WivesJoanna Eberhart (Nicole Kid-

man) thinks she’s made it to the top of her world. The youngest president in the history of the EBS television network, she also has attentive husband and two beautiful children. On the sur-face, Joanna’s life appears to be perfect... until one catastrophic day when it all comes crashing down around her...

Fired from her job, her perfect marriage in trouble and unable to remember where her kids go to school, Joanna is starting to look like a candidate for electroshock therapy. This prompts her and her husband Walter (Matthew Broderick) to re-examine their priorities, pack up the family and make a fresh start in the idyllic suburban paradise of Stepford, Connecticut.

But something strange is hap-pening in the quaint town of Stepford - and Joanna is suspi-cious. So is Bobbie Markowitz (Bette Midler), who recently moved to town with her frat-boy-ish husband Dave (Jon Lovitz). Roger Bannister (Roger Bart), an architect who came to Stepford hoping to save his rocky relation-ship with partner Jerry (David Marshall Grant) is wondering what is going on, too.

...It’s the wives. They’re all like Claire Wellington (Glenn Close) - beautiful, happy and unusu-ally creative with crafts. They can bake a cake, paint the house, mow the lawn, play with the kids and still greet their husbands in lacy lingerie at the end of a busy day.

Disturbed by the stunning but subservient women she meets in Stepford, Joanna grows un-easy. On the other hand, Walter couldn’t be happier. He’s espe-cially impressed by the Stepford Men’s Association, a fortress-like mansion in the centre of town. Walter believes that life in Step-ford is as it should be - perfect. Joanna and Bobbie race to solve the mystery before they too be-come Stepford Wives.

Te Awamutu Courier and Tracs give read-ers the chance to see Eskimo Joe live at Auck-land’s Studio next Wednesday night.

Tickets are available from Ticketek and this is an all ages show.

In the spring of 1998, the sleepy coastal town of Fremantle gave birth to Australia’s favourite sons, Eskimo Joe.

In the chequered history of rock’n’roll, there hasn’t been too many bands who have under-taken a radical change in musical direction whilst recording their debut album.

It’s three years on since the release of Eskimo Joe’s ac-claimed ‘Girl’ LP, now the friendly yet furtive trio are back on a new label with their second album, ‘A Song Is A City’.

It represents another bold new era for the band as they look within to uncover a new realm of emotive music, excelling themselves in the process.

While ‘Girl’ found the band jumping the crossroads from crunchy punk to sailing, at-mospheric pop’n’roll, ‘A Song Is A City’ sees them settling into their impressive musical-ity, with vocalist/bass player Kav Temperley consolidating his strengths as a songwriter.

According to Temperley, the album’s title re-fers to the fact that a city is like a little bed of stories and that’s what an album is as well. If people live in cities they can certainly reside in songs. With break ups and break downs happening in several corners, the songwriter had early aspirations for a concept album, but the songs went their own way.

This is Eskimo Joe, after all.

“I was trying to think of a title of a musical,” Temperley recalls.

“All these songs were going to be the stories of the people in the city, that was the whole idea behind it.”

‘A Song Is A City’ was recorded in Sydney with Paul McKercher and Nick Launay then

fi nished off at Debas- er Studios in Perth.

It is indeed a new era, with Joel Quartermain shift-ing from drums to join Stu MacLeod on guitars and old Fremantle

band buddy, Paul Keenan, joining the band’s live line up on drums.

If ‘Girl’ was about redirection, ‘A Song Is A City’ is a moment for Eskimo Joe to represent.

“We’ve always had this thing in mind about it being a long-term gain and not a short term thing,” Temperley says.

“Everything we wanted, we put into this al-bum. For the fi rst time we’ve actually pulled off a project completely.

“With ‘Girl’ we had to wipe the slate com-pletely, with this album we just had to write good songs. I think it’s a really good represen-tation of where we’re at.”

Eskimo Joe also play Wellington on Thurs-day night.

To be in to win simply put your name, ad-dress and daytime contact number on the back of a standard sized envelope, address it to ‘The Eskimo Joe Double Pass Feelers Com-petition’ and make sure it reaches our offi ce by 5pm Friday.
