TC200815DT01ULTRA runner Grant ‘Curly’ Jacobs and Buddy plan to run to theaid of dairy farmers to bring awareness of mental health issues.

In January we werereintroduced to ultra runner Grant‘Curly’ Jacobs and his trainingpartner ‘Buddy’.

At that time he was planning torun a marathon a day in the centreof Manukau — for 100 days in arow — as training for an attempton the record to run the length ofNew Zealand and to raise aware-ness of healthy eating and healthyliving.

A hip injury after 60 marathonshalted the training, although heplans to go back to do the other 40,and put the record attempt off forabout six months.

But now back in his hometownof Te Awamutu, Mr Jacobs wantsto hit the road again with Buddy —this time to raise awareness ofmental health issues in the agricul-tural sector and to do his bit to helpout a cocky or two.

Mr Jacobs grew up on hisparent’s Puahue sheep and beeffarm and farmed himself for manyyears.

He says when he was in Tara-naki he had a personal experiencewith depression and suicide — aclose friend who thought there wasa way out of his situation.

“Thankfully he’s still with usand enjoying every moment of hislife with his kids — but it wasclose,” says Mr Jacobs.

“I’ve seen the pressure mountand finally get on top of someone Iknew was very strong.

“He was considering a drasticsolution.

“Now he realises how selfishthat would have been, but that iswhat the pressure does,” he says.

And Mr Jacobs admits he suf-

fered depression for 12 monthsabout seven years ago.

“For a start I suffered in silence,spending endless nights consider-ing a drastic way out of myproblems,” he says.

“Fortunately I managed towork up the courage to ask some-one for help and within a shortperiod of time I was able to getback on top of everything and Ihave never looked back since.”

Help agencies expect the pres-sure to be insurmountable forsome dairy farmers as they facecalving, long work hours, adownturn in income and risingstress.

Mr Jacob’s future sister-in-lawis Waikato-Hauraki-CoromandelSupport Trust farm consultantMandi McLeod of Pirongia.

The Trust is receiving six timesas many calls as normal fromfarmers needing help, but it prob-ably should be many more.

They say some farmers won’tget help, some don’t know where togo and some are too busy fordepression to have taken hold.

Mr Jacobs wants to do his bitand plans to run a 400km circuitof the Waikato to raise awarenessof mental health problems forfarmers, and to put his experi-ence to use helping out in apractical way where he can.

He’ll have his buggy loadedwith a few fencing and work tools,and swap his running shoes forRed Bands and athletic singlet fora Swandri to pitch in for an houror two if needed.

“I can fix a fence, or a brokenpipe or trough — whatever isgetting neglected and will give afarmer an hour or two off,” hesays.

Mr Jacobs is packing his tentand a supply of biscuits for Buddyand says he’ll be on the road forbetween two and four weeks —whatever is needed.

He sets off this weekend andplans to go via Otorohanga, Puta-ruru, Matamata, Morrinsville, TeAroha, Paeroa, Huntly and home.

■ If any dairy farmer wants ahelping hand fromMr Jacobs theyshould call theWaikato-Hauraki-Coromandel Support Trust line on0800 787 254.

Second dwelling size limitCould someone from Council

please explain why, if you build asecond home on farmland,whether it is two hectares or 200,with one title, you are onlyallowed a 70m2 dwelling. Hardlyany houses in town are thatsmall.

You haven’t enough water intown in the summer and sewer-age etc. would have to increase ifthe population grew. So buildingmore houses in the country withonly one entrance on to the road— I can’t see a problem.

Core infrastructure at riskThe Te Awamutu Courier

article “Consents show districtbuoyant” is far from the truth.

Yes, the building sectormay have seen some relativelymodest improvement with $194million pulled in fromconsents. However, other areasof the economy have stagnatedor seen declines.

Take, for example, the dairysector — many farmers arebracing themselves for toughtimes ahead for the forecastedlow pay-out; retail sector —many retail outlets have shuttheir doors, due to raisingoverheads and rent; bankingsector — reduced interest ratesin line with the drop in OfficialCash Rate by Reserve Bank totry and stimulate the economy.

Whilst, Waipa DistrictCouncil’s — planning andregulatory manager is quotedas saying — “There was nosign of building activity in thedistrict easing up”, “Givengrowth projections for Waipa,

we anticipate this level ofactivity continuing for sometime”. This is no excuse forCouncil’s continued negligenceof the core infrastructure. IfCouncil has such knowledge ofso called growth predictions,why do they continue to placeour health and safety at risksince I believe our core infra-structure (stormwater, waterand sewage) is on the brink ofcatastrophic failure?

Continuing to approveconsents is clearly placingmore onerous and pressure onour already critical core infra-structure, which requires up-wards of $250 million to bespent in upgrades and repairs.

What’s frustrating is rate-payers have already paid forthe core infrastructure to bemaintained. So where has ourmoney gone?

Why should ratepayers tol-erate future rates increases?

HAYDEN WOODS(Abridged)

Bullying should be viewed in contextEli Gadbsy is to be

commended for taking an inter-est in his social surrounds andfor wishing to make a differencewhere social issues are con-cerned.

However, the apparent inci-dent of bullying he writes of mayonly be so because of a certainperspective, as perspective orthe physical and psychologicalposition of analysis of any inci-dent or situation is the reasonthat individuals may haveopposite opinions of the actu-

ality of what took place.Firstly, shall we remove the

mother’s expletive from theequation.

The swear word used is com-monplace and social media isfull of it. It has no impact as aswear word, and is not a legaloffence on the statutes unlessused in a threat or insult.

I am sure that with the mediacontinually pushing the envel-ope it will soon commonlyappear in product commercialsas other erstwhile swearwords

do.Then we must consider the

tone of voice. Was it threatening,or merely emphatic?

What was the statement inanswer to? Was it in answer toselfish or aggressive behaviourby the child, and thereforesimply using the vernacular ofthe boy’s peer group to correctattitudes or actions whichuncorrected might of them-selves result in a selfish andaggressive adult in the fullnessof time. If we remove those

factors which are not probativeof the actuality of what oc-curred, we might be left with amother in a different socialdemographic, simply emphasis-ing to her child, “Your selfishand aggressive behaviour is thereason you have few friends”.

Not knowing what behaviourelicited her guidance to thechild, we can conclude thatperhaps she was correct, or atleast doing her best as she sawthe situation.

Drunk drivers aroundchildren cause concern

A woman driving a loadedschool bus while almost twice thealcohol limit has caused graveconcern for Police — and no doubtfor parents.

District Road Policing Mana-ger, Inspector Freda Grace saysspeed and alcohol are two thingsthat shouldn’t involve schools orchildren, but all too often they areif incidents over recent days areanything to go by.

On Monday three drivers in theregion were stopped and found tobe well over the limit, one a68-year-old woman driving aschool bus driver carrying a loadof young passengers in the Cam-bridge.

“In this case she returned abreath alcohol test result of468mgs and we are very concernedabout this person’s suitability tobe driving on the road, especially

with young charges,” said MsGrace.

Another woman stopped onSH3 on her way to work inWaitomo returned an alcoholreading of 738mgs while a manstopped on SH1 returned a resultof 440mgs.

“That same morning a man wasstopped travelling at 137km/h inthe 70km/h speed restricted zoneoutside Whitikahu School. Thatdriver has since had his licensesuspended.

“Monday’s incidents follow a33-year-old mother being stoppedwhile picking up her seven-year-old child up from a Dinsdaleschool at 3.15pm last Tuesdayafternoon and returning a breathalcohol result of 805mgs.”

On August 6 a 35-year-oldwoman travelling with her12-year-old son was stopped on

Rostrevor Street as she drove to ashop.

“When this mother underwentan evidential breath test back atthe station she returned a result of1097mgs, a shocking result.

“She was charged with drivingwith excess breath alcohol, endan-gering a child and had her licenseimmediately suspended for 28days.

“These high alcohol readingsand excessive speeds have no placearound schools or around chil-dren.

“Therefore I will be ensuringour staff do their part by breathtesting every driver we interactwith.

“You can do your part bymaking sure the people you travelwith don’t endanger themselves orothers on our roads,” said MsGrace.

New library plans approvedWaipa District Council has

formally approved the conceptplans for Te Awamutu’s newlibrary.

Approval authorises councilstaff to commission detailed designwork for the new 1400m2 buildingincluding the design of structuralelements like the frame andfoundations, utility services andinternal layout.

On Tuesday at the Service De-livery Committee meeting, Council

also approved the installation of asolar power system in the libraryto provide power to the buildingand community space.

This was supported by feedbackfrom the community, either fromthe Te Awamutu CommunityBoard open forum, or directly tocouncil.

Councillors decided against in-stalling rain water tanks to harvestwater based on the additional costsand the time it would take to

recoup those costs.Waipa mayor Jim Mylchreest

said he was getting considerablefeedback about the library and the“vast majority of it was positive.People accept that Te Awamutuneeds a new library and simplywant us to get on with it — that’sthe message I’m getting,” he said.

The contract for the $4.4 millionfacility has been awarded to Flet-cher Construction with its designpartner Opus.

Pair spreads powersaving message

TC200815SP05ABRIGHT SPARKS: Andy and Jessie are visiting schools toencourage energy saving practices.

BY DEAN TAYLOR

Actors Andy and Jessie havegot heaps of energy — but theirmessage is about saving energy toreduce costs.

They have teamed up withWaipa Networks to visit schoolsand encourage kids to participatein saving power in the home.

Andy Kaye developed the con-cept for the show last year andwith a previous partner hasperformed to thousands ofyoungsters.

He has now been joined byJessie Lawrence, and their aim isto make saving energy fun.

One of their goals is to getparents to share the cost of energywith their children so they under-stand it has worth.

“When the kids had to cutkindling, stack firewood and lightthe fire every night to keep warmthey understood there was a cost,”says Andy.

“Now they just turn on the heatpump.”

Their campaign is basedaround ‘Switch to Save’ — theconcept that everything should beturned off at the wall if it isn’t inuse.

Culinary classes for foodiesBy CATHY ASPLIN

TC200815DT03CHEF Ian Heslop is going to share his cooking and food knowledge from his Home kitchen.

Former Hamilton cafeowner and chef Ian Heslop issharing his extensive foodknowledge with local peopleat weekly cooking classes.

The Artisanat CulinaryClasses provide lots of tipsand advice for everyone fromhome cooks to those with aneye on a food career.

Participants can expect togain plenty of tasty foodideas and recipes for dishesthat would be great for homeentertaining.

The cooking classes areheld on Thursdays (spicydishes) and Saturdays(canapes) in a fun relaxedenvironment.

He is also planning amonthly lunch demonstra-tion — single living for pen-sioners.

Mr Heslop has had anextensive involvement in thefood and hospitality indus-try.

He studied at WaikatoPolytech and London Cityand Guild’s School of Cook-ery.

His early experience inNew Zealand included cater-ing work in Hamilton andworking as a sous chef atGainsborough House.

He then headed overseasto work at the Hyde ParkPlaza Hotel (Sydney), Kyte’sRestaurant, Chez Oz andRook Pool.

He worked as a silverservice waiter in London, atMaxim’s de Paris and Les

Cargo in Greek Street, Soho.When he returned to Syd-

ney he was a butler, respon-sible for a penthouse apart-ment in Potts Point.

On his return to Hamiltonaround 18 years ago he usedhis wealth of food experienceto opened Zigilinis Cafe inHamilton East.

“I operated that for nineyears, before travelling toEurope and Thailand for sixmonths.

“After my travels Ireturned to New Zealand

where I worked in the corpor-ate sector in Auckland.”

Now living in Te Awa-mutu, Mr Heslop shares ahouse with his parents.

“I am planning for mymum to be involved with thebusiness as she is a fantasticcook.

“My dad is retired, butalso worked with me atZigilinis for five years andwas popular with customers.

“As well as utilising myparents’ knowledge andexperience, one of the ideas

behind this new culinarybusiness is to build confid-ence with products thatpeople are not so familiarwith.

“To start with we aredoing the Thursday and Sat-urday classes, then if demandincreases we will add moreclasses, as well as some one-off events.”

FINAL PUSH: Downer contractors prepare Alexandra Street outside Te Awamutu College for new seal.

Final stage of major

project under way

Work has begun on sealing Te

Awamutu’s Alexandra Street,

the final stage in the upgrade

project.The sealing work will take

several weeks and is being done

in small sections to minimise

traffic delays as well as disrup-

tion to residents and businesses.

The underground work is

almost complete, with new

water and wastewater pipes now

laid down most of Alexandra

Street from Tawhiao Street to

the railway crossing outside

Fonterra, said Waipa District

Council service delivery mana-

ger Barry Bergin.

‘‘We are pleased with the

result of the work to lay the

pipes, and now we are asking

residents and businesses to bear

with us as we enter the last stage

of this major project,’’ Mr

Bergin said.

The cost of the $2 million

upgrade has been reduced by

combining the water services

works with the road reconstruc-

tion.Sealing work has begun out-

side Te Awamutu College to take

advantage of the reduced school

traffic during the holidays. The

section outside Fonterra will be

done last to coincide with the

factory’s quieter period.

There will be some times

when homeowners and busi-

nesses face restricted access,

and the contractor, Downer is

working with those affected to

try and keep disruption to a

minimum. Traffic delays are

possible and detours away from

Alexandra Street may also be

used during this phase of work.

‘‘I’d like to thank the resi-

dents, businesses and motorists

for their ongoing patience as we

c o m p l e t e t h i s i m p o r t a n t

upgrade work,’’ Mr Bergin said.

Share Farmercompetitionheralds new eraThe 2016 Share Farmer of the Year

competition has big boots to fill —taking over from the highly

regarded sharemilker competition.New Zealand Dairy Industry Awards

Executive Chair Gavin Roden says theShare Farmer of the Year is a hybrid ofthe sharemilker competition, withchanges that better position it within thedairy industry’s evolving farm ownershipand employment structures.

“We think the changes will make thecontest better and enable more people toenter and gain the benefits from enter-ing.

“The sharemilker competition has aspecial history and aura about it due to its26-year longevity, the thousands thathave entered over the years and how ithas helped people take the next step intheir farming careers.”

Mr Roden says the number ofsharemilking positions is falling as dairyfarm ownership and employmentstructures evolve.

This is creating new opportunities forpeople in the industry to progressthrough other employment structures,such as equity partnerships, leasing orcontract milking.

“With the Share Farmer contest, andall the changes we have made to the2016 awards programme, we have triedto ensure that those in similar positions,doing similar work and with similarresponsibilities will have an opportunity

to participate and gain the benefits fromentering one of our competitions.”

He says the Share Farmer of the Yearcompetition will be open to all those thatare self-employed on a dairy farm andwho are responsible for all aspects of thefarm business. They can own up to 50per cent of that farming business.

It means contract milkers — whoseincome is received on an agreed cents perkilogram of milksolids produced — areeligible to enter. Percentage sharemilkers,equity farmers and lessees are also eligible.

Regional winners of the previous farmmanager contest (which may include somecontract milkers) are eligible to enter theShare Farmer of the Year competition, butregional winners of previous sharemilker orsharemilker/equity farmer contests are inelig-ible.

The judging process remains the same,with contest judges spending two hours oneach entrant’s farm looking at how theentrant manages their finances and farmbusiness, pasture, livestock, farm environ-ment, staff, farm safety and health, and dairyhygiene.

They will also consider how they maxi-mise the property, their role in the commun-ity and communication skills.

■ Entries in the 2016 Share Farmer of theYear, DairyManager of the Year andDairyTrainee of the Year competitions open onOctober 20.More information is available atwww.dairyindustryawards.co.nz

PaymentoptionsfromRegionalCouncilWaikato Regional Council

is reminding dairyfarmers and others under

financial pressure that there arevarious options for making ratespayments to help manage in tighttimes.

It follows discussion on theissue at the finance committee’srecent meeting.

“We recognise that dairyfarmers are facing a significantdownturn in the milk payout,” saidcommittee chairwoman JaneHennebry.

“This means some will bestruggling to meet various costsand others could be affectedfinancially by the farmers’ situa-tions.”

Cr Hennebry said the counciloffered ratepayers the ability topay off rates by ongoing directdebits, and there were a range ofother options to help makepayments easier.

“We encourage anyone facingdifficulties to contact our ratesteam to discuss their options.”

The council’s freephone num-ber is 0800 800 401.

The German man felt it was time he checked on his tree.

He brought up his browser on his laptop, went to the Trees For Travellers website, entered his tree identification number and got the co-ordinates for his tree. Then, using Google Earth, he zoomed in on the Kaikoura track which was home to his sapling.

There it was, still protected by its combi-guard (funded by the Fonterra Grass Roots Fund) sheltering the young tree from the elements. He zoomed closer to locate the area and a message appeared telling him his tree was doing well.

If this all sounds a bit unusual, it is the quintessential symbiotic relationship where both parties benefit. Trees For Travellers offers New Zealand native trees for planting around Kaikoura – like many parts of this country a place where native trees have often

given way to imported and pest varieties.So Kaikoura gains strong native tree

growth to showcase to visitors from all over the world and from within New Zealand; the travellers themselves have a bit of ownership and a lot of pride in ‘owning’ a green sentinel in a world where green is all too often replaced by the grey of urbanisation.

Trees For Travellers (TFT) manager Lorraine Diver says that, in the 13 years it has been in existence, TFT has been responsible for the planting of 8000 trees around Kaikoura, principally on the Kaikoura Peninsula Walkway on the cliffs and the picturesque Tom’s Track.

The Department of Conservation administers the Kaikoura Peninsula walkways which offer grandstand views of Kaikoura’s rugged beauty and wildlife, with

seals a common sight in one of the nearby car parks and many other examples of flora and fauna to be seen. Tom’s Track was named after Tom Smith, who died in 2003 after attempting to free one of Kaikoura’s famed whales which had got snarled in a craypot line.

Diver says the area is now becoming more densely populated with native trees – “I know that in 10 years’ time, the tracks will look marvellous with all the planting that has been done and will be done.”

She is the sole paid representative of TFT with all other help from volunteers. “The way it works is that we offer people from overseas and around the country who visit here the chance to buy and own a tree.

“They can pay $20 for trees like the native hebe or a ngaio or $40 for your totara, matai, rimu or kahikatea. But that

doesn’t just buy you a tree – you also get three years’ maintenance of that tree.”

That’s where Fonterra Grass Roots Fund comes in. TFT’s application was successful and bought them the combi-guards which protect the saplings.

“It’d be difficult without them,” says Diver. “They are bamboo poles and a heavy-duty plastic guard which slips over the poles. It just protects them against the wind and the elements out there – and in Kaikoura the elements can be brutal.”

It’s also essential because visitors often want to check on the progress of their tree – like the fictional German at the start of this article. In these days, of internet technology, it’s easy to do so but a screen showing a struggling tree is hardly desirable.

Each tree is mapped with Diver’s GPS unit and the co-ordinates entered into the TFT website so ‘owners’

can log in using their identification number, get the

co-ordinates and then locate the tree using Google Earth.

Germans tend to be the biggest supporters of the overseas visitors, she says, along with Britons, Swiss and the French.

“People from nations with a green environmental focus tend to love doing this – and a lot of them return and want to see how their tree is doing. It’s good for Kaikoura and it’s good to have natives replacing gorse and scrub and it’s also good for our carbon footprint.”

GRASSROOTS INNOVATIONS WITH DEAN TAYLOR

Rollover protection for quad

HANDS-ON inventor Steve Knudsen believes his Quad-Rops will save lives.

Steve Knudsen is no stranger toinventing — from a fencingcontractor background he

designed, manufactured and marketeda full range of products such aspostdrivers, piledrivers and three pointlinkages. In 2007 he won Invention ofthe Year at Mystery Creek with theVertigo Buck Stop.

This year he was in the GrassrootsInnovation Centre to show his latestinvention — the Quad-Rops, a safetyattachment for quad bikes.

He says the invention is a practicalsolution to a real problem — the risk ofinjury or death in the event of a quadbike rollover.

TheKnudsens use theQuad-Rops ontheir property ina little placedknown asMatingarahi —on the Firth ofThames — andsay it gives thempeace of mind, itcreates a realsense of safetyand if anythingenhances the dayto day use of thequad.

“Being a userit made me theideal person todesign it. Verylittle agriculturalplant is designedby the end user,”he says.

He looked atother protectivesystems on themarket and sawthey offered littleor no safety zoneto the rider andthey did notprevent the quadfrom rollingdown the hill anddestroying itself.

They were also too intrusive on theversatility of the bike, so he set aboutcoming up with a better design.

The Quad-Rops is a frame that can

be mounted to almost any make andmodel of quad bike and includesprotection above the head. It allowsgreat visibility and doesn’t interfere with

the use of either front or rear carriers.As well as rollover protection, the

Quad-Rops protects the rider againstinjury from unseen wires, branches or

other obstacles.Mr Knudsen says he has tested the

design in front, backward and sidewaysrollovers and the frame gives excellentprotection, and also minimises damageto the bike.

The single overhead bar design bothprotects and vastly reduces the riderfrom being pinned down by the bike,while the angled top struts help slow orstop the bike from rolling excessively.

There are added benefits with theframe, such as being able to mountsafety lights, mirrors, windscreen andeven a flexible overhead sunshade.

While there seems to be a lot ofnegative talk at the moment about quadbikes (very little, if any of this frompeople who actually use them) inpreference to other utility farm vehicles,Mr Knudsen says realistically farmerswon’t be changing any time.

He says there are thousands of quadbikes in use, with a huge array ofpurpose built accessories, and farmershave come to appreciate how versatile,reliable and affordable they are.

“The only real issue is safety and Ibelieve I have a practical answer, that isretrofitting the Quad-Rops to yourexisting quad” he says.

There was good interest in thedesign at Fieldays people could see thecommon sense in the design.

Next step for the Quad-Rops is tostart manufacturing the product andselling it direct.

“I’m not a fan of having a middleman. I like keeping it simple which alsomakes it more affordable.

“Having been a manufacturerbefore I have the know how and abilityto make a quality product.

“I'm really pleased with the Quad-Rops and I know it will save lives.”

Firehawks upset Tigers to claim titleBY COLIN THORSEN

TC200815CT01CHAMPIONS: Te Awamutu Sports Firehawks in celebratory mood after winning the Waikato Premier Reserve Rugby LeagueChampionship at Davies Park, Huntly on Saturday.

Te Awamutu Sports Firehawks rugbyleague team caused a boilover beatingHamilton City Tigers 20-18 to becomeWaikato Premier Reserve Champions for2015.

Apart from the large band of loyalsupporters who travelled to Huntly by bus,plane, train and private cars, not many atDavies Park were giving the KirstieMcGrail (Ray White) sponsored Firehawksmuch chance of winning on Saturday.

“I’m stoked for the boys that they wereable to get up against some hefty odds forthis big occasion,” coach Kane Rangitongatold the Courier.

“We’d lost to them both times thisseason, they had led the competition fromstart to finish and they were also celebrat-ing 50 years as a league club.”

It’s been a long time between celebratorydrinks for the Firehawks. The last timethey triumphed was 2007 when the teambeat Taniwharau in the final by two points.

They have been to two other finals sincethen but come away emptyhanded.

Spectators who packed out Davies Parkwere treated to a scintillating premierreserve spectacle, played in wonderfulspirit.

After absorbing an early onslaught fromthe opposition, the Firehawks very nearlymade the Tigers pay the ultimate price foran error.

Kuuta Ratima swooped on a loose ball athalfway, set sail for the tryline, only to bedragged down by the defence five metersfrom the line.

The Firehawks opened the scoring witha Henare Raukawa penalty to lead 2-0 after15 minutes.

It was just the settler the team needed.Isaac Howell breached the Tigers’

defensive line and had too much pace forthe cover defence on a sprint of 40 metresfor a 6-0 scoreline, followed by a Raukawapenalty from close range for the Firehawksto lead 8-0 at the break.

The Firehawks started the scoring again

in the second half after brothers, Tawhiriand Isaac Howell combined down the lefthand flank for Isaac to dot down in the lefthand corner to extend the lead to 12-0.

This woke the Tigers who replied with aconverted try of their own in the left handcorner for a 12-6 scoreline.

Firehawks’ prop and player of the day,Jackie Maikuku, stamped his authority onthe game in the 32nd minute when hescored close to the posts with his usualstraight running, no-nonsense attitude,again carrying defenders over the line withhim.

Raukawa’s conversion took the score outto 18-6 and suddenly the unlikely waslooking quite realistic.

Tigers had other ideas, showing whythey have been competition leaders allseason.

The Firehawks defence was caught shortdown the left hand side, allowing the

opposition to sneak in the corner to score.The conversion from the sideline was thetonic Tigers needed to get back into thegame, trailing 18-12.

They threw everything they could at theFirehawks who, through sheer willpower,were able to keep them at bay.

A Raukawa penalty kick stretched theFirehawks lead to a safer 20-12.

But the previously unbeaten Tigersweren’t going to give in till the end andwere rewarded with another try in the 73rdminute. The conversion had them trailingby just two points with seven minutes lefton the clock.

The Firehawks tackled themselves to astandstill as the Tigers mounted wave afterwave of attacks.

A late turnover by the Tigers when hoton attack allowed the Firehawks to havecontrol of the ball. Three tackles later, thesweet sound of the timekeeper’s bell saw the

victorious supporters spill out on to thefield and celebrate a wonderful win.

The game finished with a rousingrendition of Whakakaahu, a haka speciallywritten for the Firehawks by well-knownlocal Maori identity, Paraone Gloyne.Tigers met the challenge with their ownhaka, ending a mighty spectacle of rugbyleague by two worthy finalists.

“I’m very proud that the team was ableto give back to the many people who theyrepresent, including our sponsor KirstieMcGrail from Ray White, the Te AwamutuSports and Recreation Club, the team’sfamilies and friends, the staunch sup-porters who turn up each week, no matterwhere or what the conditions, and the hardworking committee for all their workbehind the scenes,” says Ranitonga.

“It was also a fitting way for the boys topay tribute to their ‘fallen brothers’ whowere tragically lost this year.”

Saving Power and reducing our power bill is something that is important to most of us. The ‘Let’s Get Powerwise’ Feature is a monthly feature that will be published once a month for three months to bring you relevant information, tips, options and ways to save those precious dollars by reducing your power usage. We will look at the providers, suppliers, how to get the best deal and switch suppliers, consider alternative energy options and fi nally look at some power saving measures around your home and business.Today’s feature checks out how it all works, who does what and how you can be sure you are getting a good deal.

HOW ARE ELECTRICITY CHARGES MADE UP?There are a number of processes for providing power to your home – and ultimately you pay for these processes in your bill.Firstly, your power has to be generated. In New Zealand this is mostly from hydropower, geothermal power, and natural gas.The power then has to be transmitted. Transpower operates the National Grid which runs the power from the power stations to all parts of the country.From there, your power is distributed. This is done by lines companies that own and operate the power lines in your local area. These companies connect power from the National Grid to your home. For us here in Waipa that is Waipa Networks.Waipa Networks has been supplying electricity to customers for almost 100 years. Around 17 years ago the government forced electricity companies to separate into either retail (selling power to customers) or lines (owning the power lines that deliver the power to the retailer’s customers). Waipa Networks chose to keep ownership of the lines resulting in a continued effi cient and reliable electricity supply to the local community. Waipa Networks lines charges are among the lowest in the country and the Waipa region has experienced signifi cant retail competition.There are now more than 10 electricity retailers available for customers in and around Te Awamutu to choose from. Competition is good and not only brings the retail price of electricity down, but also allows customers to choose different products or services that retailers offer in addition to electricity supply. Some retailers offer internet services, some offer pre-pay electricity meters, some offer ‘Smart’ meters where customers can closely track their power usage, to name a few. Regardless of the customer’s choice of electricity retailer they still benefi t from Waipa Network’s twice-yearly customer discounts on their power bill. If customers want to fi nd out more about Waipa Network’s lines charges and customer discounts they can visit www.waipanetworks.co.nz.Your electricity is also retailed. This is the power company you deal with and that sends you your bill. Retailers buy the power produced by generating companies in a complicated system of trading called the New Zealand Electricity Market. It is at this level of electricity trading that you’ll hear terms like ‘wholesale market’ and

‘spot pricing’. The wholesale price at whiceffect on the price you pay (and it should retailers as well).Currently we have 11 electricity retailers fold is from the neighbouring King Country

It is also worth keeping in mind that a number of the power companies are now bundling various products together like gas and internet with power so their power rate maybe slightly higher compared to a competitor but overall you are getting a better deal than being with separate providers.

DO YOU QUALIFY FOR A LOW USAGE CHARGE?Electricity providers are required to assist low-use customers by offering them a low fi xed charge tariff option of no more than 30c per day. Your provider should inform you at least annually of whether it may be benefi cial for you to switch to a low fi xed charge rate.The low-user plan is generally the best option if you use less than 8000kWh per year.The low-user plans have a lower fi xed daily charge than the standard options and a higher variable charge for the electricity used. To qualify for a low-user plan, your home must be used or intended for occupation mainly as a place of residence and your principal place of residence.If you are on a low usage charge keep an eye on the amount of power you are using because if you go over the allowed amount it usually costs you more!A new prepaid option is GLOBUG (a Mighty Power product), which you may have seen on TV which allows you to pay for your electricity as you go to make it easier to manage what you spend on your electricity account and keep up with your payments. If you are a Community Services Card holder you get discounted rates and it’s very easy to top up - online, with the app or at one of the outlets (hundreds of dairies or convenience stores around NZ).For lots and lots or really helpful power saving information relating to your provider check out the following websites www.whatsmynumber.org.nz and www.powerswitch.org.nz, remember if you do not have access to a computer at home you can visit the local library.Next month (8th September) we’ll be looking at the alternative power sources - gas, solar, wind, wood etc with a brand new product on the market being showcased.

Peace Cup stays with Te AwamutuA_TC040914CT04

TE AWAMUTU Rugby SubUnion lock Aaron Leppard,pictured winning a lineoutagainst Hamilton in 2014,was one of his team’s fourtry scorers against KingCountry B at Otorohangaon Saturday.

Te Awamutu Rugby SubUnion’s representative teamretained the Peace Cup repulsing astern challenge from King CountryB to the tune of 22-11.

The game at the Island Reservein Otorohanga was played in con-junction with the opening round ofthe 2015 Stan Meads Cup onSaturday.

Carl Henderson reports that theManuka Health/CRV-sponsoredTe Awamutu side started thestronger, dominating territory.

They opened the scoring after18 minutes with a try to lock AaronLeppard who took the final passfrom his locking partner JoshFerguson after the forwards hadstrung several phases together.

The Cup holders increasedtheir lead to 12-0 in the 30th minutewhen fullback Scott Sands scoredafter some industrious work fromreplacement Raroa Lord. JoshThomas converted.

King Country opened theiraccount with a late first halfpenalty to trail 12-3.

In order to give most of theirplayers game time, Te Awamutumade several changes at halftimewhich didn’t help their continuity.

King Country looked the more

settled side for the majority of thehalf, scoring a penalty after fiveminutes and a well constructedteam try with 13 minutes left toplay.

Leading 12-11, Te Awamutufinally found their rhythm, takingplay deep into King Country terri-tory off the back of some stormingruns from replacement NormanSolofa.

A well-worked lineout driveproved impossible to stop withTuruva Lumelume scoring.

Back came Te Awamutu pro-ducing an almost identical lineoutdrive for Solofa to score to blow outthe final scoreline.

Players to stand out werehooker Jack Munce, outside backWaisake Tuimereke who had astrong game making the advantageline when he carried, and JoshFerguson.

The Te Awamutu side will needto be a lot more settled when theytravel to Rotorua to play CentralBay of Plenty this weekend.

Eastern Bay of Plenty won theSMC Bay of Plenty derby,overcoming a spirited bid forvictory by Central Bay of Plenty inWhakatane. The home side held a7-5 advantage at halftime. Both

teams scored an unconverted trypiece in the second spell, withEastern Bay also slotting a penaltygoal for a 15-10 win.

The match-up at the MelvilleRugby Club in Hamilton, wasanother game that went down tothe wire.

Piako led Hamilton 5-0 athalftime, with the second spellbecoming a game of attritionbefore Piako prevailed 16-12.

TA upsets Otumoetai

TC200815SP16TA SPORTS hockey team’sdrag flick specialist at penaltycorner time, Rhys McLachlan,scorer of two goals againstOtumoetai on Saturday.

Ecolab Te Awamutu Sportspremier men’s hockey teamupset defending champions Otu-moetai 3-2 to make the grandfinal of the Midlands Inter-Citycompetition.

Otumoetai went into the semi-final as firm favourites, courtesyof home ground advantage and aprior 4-1 win over Te AwamutuSports in pool play.

However, with determinedresolve and lessons learnt fromtheir prior encounter, the youngTe Awamutu side turned-the-tables on the playing throughchampions — winning an enter-taining spectacle in Tauranga.

Despite Otumoetai having aslight edge in the first half, it wasTe Awamutu who scored first inthe 19th minute from a penaltycorner conversion to RhysMcLachlan.

Otumoetai replied in kindthree minutes later with a PCdeflection to Corey Bruin for ahalftime scoreline of 1-1.

Te Awamutu lifted the tempo

in the second half, scoring in thethird minute with another PCdrag flick to McLachlan.

Gaining in confidence, TeAwamutu went on to createseveral scoring chances untilfinally being rewarded in the55th minute with a field goalwhen striker Ben Coxhead rifleda ‘tomahawk shot’ past NewZealand Masters goalkeeperGeoff Williamson to give thevisitors a 3-1 lead.

Otumoetai scored a late con-solation goal off a PC drag flick toHugh Gilmer.

The other semi-final saw com-petition leaders Hamilton OldBoys defeat Suburbs 5-2.

Ecolab Te Awamutu will nowface Old Boys in the final, 3.30pmat the Gallaghers Hockey Centrein Hamilton on Saturday.

The two sides have met twice,earlier this year, with a winapiece.

Te Awamutu coach MattScoble is delighted his team is inthe final.

“It has been a dream year forthis young side and we have a50/50 chance of winning moresilverware,” he says.

Waikato Club Hockey semi-finals were also held last week-end across all grades .

Te Awamutu Sports con-tinued their dominance in thewomen’s reserve grade with boththe club’s Blue and Gold teamsmaking semi-finals. Last year’schampion Blue team success-fully booked themselves a finalsberth.

The Te Awamutu side haswon the women’s reserve gradean impressive 16 out of 19seasons and look likely toincrease their tally of wins thisyear.

Home team unable to score from strong attackTe Awamutu fought gamely to

turn a 1-0 deficit against Tokoroainto a 1-all draw in Waikato Bay ofPlenty Federation ChampionshipSoccer League.

The visitors rocked theEdmonds Judd-sponsored hometeam with a goal in the 10th minuteat Te Awamutu Stadium on Satur-day.

From that stage on, Te Awa-mutu dominated the game, creat-ing many scoring opportunitieswithout being able to turn theminto first half goals.

The second half couldn’t havestarted better for Te Awamutu.

A series of attacks had Tokoroaon the back foot, paving the wayfor captain Thomas Watts to scorethe equaliser.

Te Awamutu thought they hadthe lead when they again put theball in the back of the net, only tohave it ruled out for offside.

Despite the dominance and thenumerous chances being created,the home team weren’t able to getthe extra goal to win the game.

Man of the match was awarded

to Ben Petersen for his hardworking effort up front.

Te Awamutu are away toNgongotaha this Saturday.

Te Awamutu men's reservesoccer team secured a hard fought3-2 away win over ClaudelandsRovers.

in mid-table of the league.The men's third team suffered

their first defeat of the season,losing 2-1 to HRFC Seniles atDiscovery Park.

TC200815CT02PIRONGIA goal-keep Vanessa Mace puts pressure onRoyalans’ goal-attack shooting for goal at ASB Stadium.

BY COLIN THORSEN

Unbeaten Kihikihi are onewin away from a fairytale end toan extraordinary season in TeAwamutu Netball Centre’spremier grade.

The Gwen Matchitt-coachedKihikihi will be looking for athree-peat when they meetdefending champions Royalansin the 12.30pm final at MangahoeStreet courts on Saturday.

Kihikihi go into the playoff asfavourites having beatenRoyalans both times they havemet this season.

However, Royalans showedtheir class beating Ray WhitePirongia 48-24 in their semifinalat ASB Stadium, Te AwamutuEvents Centre on Thursdaynight.

The Otorohanga-based sidehad lost to Pirongia when theymet three weeks ago, but lookedin no mood to give up their titlewithout a fight.

Royalans led 10-7 (quartertime), 21-14 (halftime) and 34-20(three-quarter time), thendominated the final 15 minutesof the game, netting 14 goals to

Pirongia’s four.If Kihikihi were looking for a

tough workout ahead of thisweekend’s final they most cer-tainly got it from a fired-upCOGS1 team.

Kihikihi won the semifinalencounter 50-43 but wereextended by a steadily improv-ing COGS outfit who won thefirst quarter 12-11 and thirdquarter 10-9.

A tactical change, movingCarlee Logan to wing-attack andMihiwatara Hohepa to centreproved a masterstroke for Kihi-kihi.

They began to find theirrhythm and shooters GabbySwift and Sara Jane Urquartmade the most of scoring oppor-tunities.

TAC Prems lost to Weka 59-43but again showed markedimprovement throughout thegame.

The final game of the nightsaw RSN lead from go to whoaagainst Korakonui, winning59-50.

Korakonui have certainlyvindicated their promotion topremier ranks, having qualified

in eighth spot and ended upplaying off for fifth and sixth.

They will have taken heartfrom drawing the third quarter16-all and the final quarter 13-all.

Playoffs at ASB Stadiumtonight will see Weka meet RSNand Korakonui play TAC Prems,

while COGS1 and Ray WhitePirongia will do battle for thirdand fourth placings.

Prizegiving for all grades willtake place after the finalbetween Kihikihi and Royalansat the Paperplus Te AwamutuNetball Courts on Saturday.

Stewart Alexander record holder shows his classCourse record-holder Peter

Lund showed he has not lost histouch when shooting 68 inSunday's Paper Plus sponsoredscramble at Stewart AlexanderGolf Club. Now living in theSouth Island, Lund still plays offa four handicap despite only

playing social golf.His course record of 62 has

yet to be surpassed.Aaron Van der Poel finished

runnerup to Lund with a wellcompiled par round of 70.

A continuation of this kind ofform would make Van der Poel a

real contender for the clubmatchplay champs.

Bill Shaw took out thestableford with 44 points, fromAsh Robertson whoaccumulated 42 points despitean out of bounds and a penaltyfor playing an incorrect ball.

Arthur Cox, Carl Miezenbeekand Gary Bain returned 41points, BJ Clarke, Alan Cruick-shank 40, Keith Mitchell, IanColeman 39. Nett eagles on thepar three 16th hole saw KenHeke and Bill Shaw share the$252 NEC jackpot.
