Family violence needs men’s attentionFirstly, I would like to thank
Altrusa for bringing RuthBusch to Te Awamutu, and soinspiring thoughtful repliesfrom two men in our commun-ity.
Family violence needs theattention of men. Women can-not solve the problem alone.
It needs to be addressed inmany ways at the same time.
To James Parlane, I suggestthat one way for men to showrespect for women and theirneeds and opinions, is to think
before asking a woman tochange her behaviour, and toconsider the possibility ofchanging their own instead.
As David Hall points out,there is no easy fix.
The problem of male abuseof women is bigger than all theside issues that are raised toshift blame on to women.
Men who abuse their ‘near-est and dearest’ have often beenbrought up in families wherebullying is the norm. Feelingsare expressed aggressively.
Power and control areachieved through fear. Love isexpressed by jealousy, sus-picion and threats.
Empathy for other people’sfeelings has not been learned.
Generosity and kindness aremostly expressed outside thefamily unit. Girls raised in suchfamilies have their problems.
They usually learn to bedevious, manipulative andresentful. They see jealousy andpossessiveness as signs of aloving relationship.
The programmes for teach-ing parenting skills and sup-port for struggling families willeventually make a difference.
Some groups are easilytargetted, but others in need areisolated for different reasonsand need a more sustainedapproach to bring aboutchange.
The cost of ignoring the mostdifficult cases far outweighs thecost of taking positive action.

Hoons turning local streets into death trapSomeone is going to die on
the corner of Goodfellow andLaurie Streets unless drasticmeasures are taken.
We have reported so manyhoons to the police I can’tbelieve they are still drivingpast here. We have spoken tocouncillor Graham Jull whoadvised we approach the Coun-cil, which we did.
We were advised that it wasall a matter of, and I quote,‘‘Education, enforcement, andfinance’’.
There was no mention ofpublic safety or care for theyoung families living on thecorner of these streets.
In recent weeks we have had
several cars lose control and hitthe curb outside our place, acouple even ended up facingback the way they came.
One rode up over the curbgoing side on into the concretewall on the Collins Avenue sideof the street. We have idiotswho floor it as they enterGoodfellow, from AlexandraStreet and can hear them accel-erating all the way up to the endof the road, by which time theymust be doing a hundred kilo-metres or close to it.
They fly up Laurie Streetfrom Station Road, straightacross the intersection withoutslowing down or even looking,go to the top of Collins Avenue
turn around and do the samething coming back the otherway.
Tonight the roads are soakedafter all the rain and its pitchblack, no way you can get anumber plate. Two cars so farhave come flying down CollinsAvenue slammed on theirbrakes half way down and skid-ded all the way down andaround the corner, to floor itagain.There is no way theycould have stopped if anyonewas coming.
My daughter and grand-children live here as well and Iam really scared that they willend up statistics because ofthese idiots.
Well maybe I shouldn’t putthis in writing and maybe youwon’t print it, but I am puttingout a warning.
I will do my best to get yournumber plate, in fact I amconsidering putting up acamera, since the Councilwon’t.
We need judder bars Coun-cil, so either get off your buttsand do it or ask the police tostep up their presence in ourstreets.
If you can’t do your job,maybe you should all resignand we’ll get people who careabout people, not swimmingpools.

Bev ‘mowed’ through years
TC190509CA03STIHL HELPING: business owners Dave Wallace (left) and Chris Wright withretiring staff member Bev Hill.
BY CATHY ASPLIN
When Bev Hill beganat Ace Lawnmowers in1985 Phil Collins wassinging ‘Sussudio’ at thetop of the Billboardcharts, Michael J Foxwas taking us Back to theFuture and it was the daybefore the RainbowWarrior was bombed inAuckland.
It was also before ride-on lawnmowers andlawnmowing roundswere commonplace.
‘‘We sold and servicemostly rotarylawnmowers at that timeand they were mostlyMcCullough andMasport brands. It wasin the days before Stihlstarted in New Zealand.
‘‘Pot belly stoves werealso popular at that timebecause they didn’trequire a permit.’’
For many years AceLawnmowers was ownedby Paul Nieuwendyk andbased in Mahoe Street.
‘‘We had a curtainshop next door and a busstop right outside.Smelly buses were pull-ing up and taking offoutside the front doorand their were often kidsarguing or coming in touse the phone becausethey had missed theirbus.’’
In 1991 John Coch-rane purchased the busi-ness and the building,which BernardNieuwendyk (son ofPaul) managed for thenext three years. Stihland Husqvana brandswere introduced, whichsaw the shop expand toincorporate ride-ons,chainsaws and gardenequipment.
She remembers one ofthe early ride-onlawnmowers beingstarted by a mechanic inthe workshop and burst-ing into flames.
‘‘But the workshophad a number oflongserving, capablestaff - Owen Green andLes Stewart were themainstays for manyyears.’’
Mrs Hill says theincreased stock had to bestored somewhere -which meant trudgingup and down the stairs tostorage areas above AceLawnmowers and abovethe neighbouring busi-ness.
‘‘It was good exercise -but you knew everythingthat went upstairs had tocome down again.’’
When Dave Wallaceand Chris Wright tookover Ace Lawnmowersthey decided on a newlook and a new name.
In 2007 the new StihlShop opened just in timefor Fieldays on SloaneStreet in the premisesformerly used by RegWarner panelbeaters.
Mrs Hill says over theyears working with thepublic has been a hugepart of her job.
‘ ‘Many customersstayed loyal to this busi-ness, so I knew themajority of the peoplewho came through thedoors. ‘‘I’ve also gotten toknow their families andhave dealt with the chil-dren of many originalcustomers.’’
Current owner DaveWallace says Bev hasbeen a mainstay of thebusiness for 24 years.
‘‘She is a very loyal,reliable person who hasbeen great value for thisbusiness.
‘ ‘Actually she
officially retired onFriday May 1, but wasback the following day tohelp out!
‘‘We’re fortunate shehas agreed to help outwhenever we need her,so people will be pleasedto know she’s not totallylost to the Stihl Shop.’’
In ‘retirement’ MrsHill will continue herassociation with Scoutsas patron of the Te Awa-mutu group and secre-tary of the Waikato zone.She will also have moreopportunity to indulgeher love tramping.

Gateway to better future forWaikeria Prison carvers
A waharoa (gateway) carved by prisoners atWaikeria Prison was presented to St John’s Collegein Hamilton during a special powhiri recently.
Twelve prisoners were involved as part of thecarving project, when the Prison’s Totara Unit wasasked to design and make the waharoa , saysassistant regional manager Diane Brophy.
‘‘The carving has a teaching theme in the designand it is because of this that the prisoners made thedecision to donate it to a school.
‘‘St John’s College was chosen because one of ourstaff has connections with their Board of Trustees,’’she says.
‘‘It is an impressive piece of work and wascompleted under the guidance of a master carver
who comes in from the local community to pass onhis skills to prisoners in the Maori Focus Unit andother units like Totara where it could be beneficial.
‘‘We use carving as an educational tool in someof the units in the prison.
‘‘It is a skill that promotes perseverance,discipline and patience — all life-skills that theprisoners will need to help them reintegrate backinto the community once they are released,’’ MsBrophy says
She says cultural programmes, such as thesecarving sessions, have proven successful in chang-ing offenders’ attitudes and behaviours, promotingpro-social lifestyle changes, and increasing theirreceptiveness to other treatment programmes.

Privet problems persist in KihikihiRecent surveys in Kihikihi and Te Aroha by
Environment Waikato pest plant contractorshave confirmed there is still plenty of privetabout in these towns.
Privet is a pest plant under EW’s regionalpest management strategy (RPMS).
Landowners are encouraged to removeprivet but it is not compulsory in all situationsin the Waikato. Where EW receives a healthrelated complaint from someone living within50 metres of privet, and their condition isverified by a doctor, the landowner is requiredto remove the privet. If the privet is a hedge, itmay be sufficient to trim it to preventflowering.
The situation is, however, different inKihikihi and Te Aroha. In response to com-munity concerns about privet, these townsbecame privet ‘community initiative’ areasseveral years ago.
This status designates privet as a ‘totalcontrol’ plant in Kihikihi and Te Aroha,meaning all landowners are required to pre-vent it flowering.
Landowners with privet on their propertywill soon receive a notice advising them of thepresence of privet, the requirement for itscontrol and information on control methods.
Under EW’s new RPMS the privet controlrule has been extended to include total controlon road reserves and transport corridors, suchas railway reserves.
Contractor Heidi Pene said it was good tosee local councils taking a proactive approachto privet in the towns.
‘‘They are to be complimented for thesubstantial privet control they have alreadytaken on their land. Now we hope privatelandowners will show a similar commitmentto tackling privet.’’
Fresh Future bun boostThe 2009 Fresh Future Appeal got off

THIS WILL BE OUR 4TH TOUR TO VIETNAM. THIS COUNTRY IS ONE OF OUR FAVOURITES WITH SO MUCH CHARACTER AND HISTORY.
We start this fabulous tour at the former capital of what was South Vietnam, Saigon, or Ho Chi Minh City, as it is offi cially known. This city is at the forefront of the modernisation and expansion that Vietnam as a country is currently undergoing, but it still operates very much in the way it did over 100 years ago. Saigon has so much to see and do - there are many historical sights and locations that are well worth a visit in and around this fast growing city including the Mekong Delta to the south and the famous CuChi Tunnels to the west.
We will spend 2 days exploring the Mekong Delta area known as the ‘rice bowl’ of Vietnam due to this fertile area being covered in rice paddies and fruit plantations. Time will be spent on various boat trips visiting local fl oating markets and villages to experience life outside the city.
We will visit the beautiful towns of My Tho, Can Tho, Dalat, Qui Nhon and enjoy a day cruise around the beautiful islands off Nha Trang and

Liberated from war, occupation and isolation and infl uenced by Chinese and French culture, Vietnam has kept its uniqueness.
Ho Chi Minh City, formerly “Saigon” is the largest of Vietnam’s cities and home to 7 million people and Vietnam’s fi nancial centre. The city is a contrast of old and new, with modern high-rises dominating the skyline but the locals continue with their traditional way of living.
Explore the amazing tunnel system - Cu Chi Tunnels used by Communist guerrillas during the Vietnam War .The Mekong Delta known as the “rice bowl” of Vietnam, is the most fertile region in the country, and Vietnam’s main source of rice and tropical fruits.
Hue is a beautiful and welcoming city and is one of Vietnam’s main cultural, religious and educational centres Hue provides a unique window into Vietnam and its complex past.
Hoi An is a picturesque riverside town and is popular for its quaint charm and interesting mix of architecture dating as far back as the 18th century. Most visitors agree it is the most enchanting place on the coast and is one city worth visiting.
Hanoi –Vietnam’s capital is characterized by French colonial architecture, tree-lined boulevards, lakes, parks and some striking architecture.
Halong Bay is Vietnam’s most stunning natural treasure and a World Heritage site. It is made up of approximately 3,000 islands which rise from the emerald clear waters of the Gulf of Tonkin.
Vietnam has so much to offer as a destination with something for everyone.

Youth bowls catching on at College
TC210509CT01WAIKATO Youth Bowls coaches John Apeldoorn (left) and Paul Bartosh of Hillcrest look suitably impressed with the deliverystyle of Sarah Cullen, watched by other prospective bowlers from Te Awamutu College, from left Aggie Melville, Makayla Green,Kayla Swinerd, Maria Haynes and Cameron Forsman.
BY COLIN THORSEN
It was a case of youth meeting experiencewhen Te Awamutu College students wereintroduced to the sport of bowls at theVictoria Park greens last week.
The students participated in a three-dayYouth Bowls coaching clinic organised byWaikato Youth coach John Apeldoorn of TeAwamutu Bowling Club, assisted by sixother coaches from Hamilton and Cam-bridge.
Youth Bowls was established by BowlsNew Zealand to encourage young people toplay outdoor bowls.
The students learned the basics of deliv-ery, different types of shots and bowlsetiquette.
‘‘Several Hamilton schools and Cam-
bridge High School already have a youthbowls programmes operating so I thoughtwhy not Te Awamutu College,’’ saysApeldoorn.
‘‘After I had approached sports co-ordinator Keith Bain in this regard, 18students took up the offer to learn to playoutdoor bowls.’’
Apeldoorn says some of them have realpotential, especially Sarah Cullen and Cam-eron Forsman who are naturals.
About a third of the students haveindicated that they would like to advancefurther, with the aim of competing in theWaikato Secondary Schools’ bowlingtournament, starting in July.
There are also regional secondaryschools’ bowling championships later in theyear, giving them an opportunity to advance
to the national championships.Judging by the progress and enthusiasm
shown by the students over the three days ofcoaching, Apeldoorn says he is confident TeAwamutu College could enter as many asfour teams in the Waikato pairs champion-ship in July.
‘‘People used to have the vision thatbowls was an old person’s game but not soanymore, it’s a ‘Game for a Lifetime’ — aclean, healthy family sport,’’ saysApeldoorn.
‘‘BowlsNZ has made adjustments to com-petitive play, introducing a lot of speedbowls in order to attract more youth playersin to the game.’’
Local businesses came to the party,generously sponsoring spot prizes through-out the three-day coaching clinic.
Ngahinapourigolf double
Host club members struck the double winningboth the senior and junior divisions of theNgahinapouri Golf Club’s men’s open tournament.
The senior title went to the promising youngRyan Crocker with an outstanding 68 off-the-stick.
Club stalwart Malcolm Sturgeon took out thesenior net with 67 and the senior stableford was wonby Alan Kempthorne with 42 points.
The junior division was won by Ngahinapourilife member Ken Reid with an 82 gross, followed byStewart Alexander’s Rob Cave with a net 66.Ngahinapouri’s Brian Devine claimed thestableford prize.
Players from Lochiel, Narrows, Pirongia, Stew-art Alexander, Morrinsville, Formosa, Turangi andthe host club participated.
Meat packs were up for grabs with theNgahinapouri ‘boys’ having perhaps too much localknowledge for the visitors.
Golfer Pacific magazine editor Lance Murraywas in attendance. In addition to taming theNgahinepouri course with a very good round, heorganised a successful auction with various golftrip destinations in aid of Junior Golf.
Fitting finaleA successful twilight season culminated with in
excess of 110 players participating in a fun, noveltycompetition at Ngahinapouri Golf Club.
Only two clubs per player were allowed on thecourse. A series of fun activities and competition wasorganised over three holes, ending with a chippingcompetition on the 18th green.
The winners of the fun events were presented withmeat packs.
All the cards went into the barrel for the luckydraws consisting of some generous sponsored prizes.
Ngahinapouri club members scooped the majorprizes, including a golf weekend for four people inRotorua (won by the Kidd family), a $200 Fish Cityvoucher (Tyler Wood), a golf bag and trundler (BitzyBaker), and a trip for two for seven nights in the GoldCoast, plus $900 spending money won this year byChris Laurence — a regular Ngahinapouri clubmember.
The twilight seasion was sponsored by SMT Golf,SUNO Sports and Lion Breweries.

TC210509CT02JONTY ELLERY (Year 10 student) sailing a Laser dinghy during the Te Awamutu College Learn-to-Sail course at Lake Ngaroto.
Te Awamutu College students partici-pated in a wide range of curriculum basedand non curriculum activities organised byCollege staff last week.
One of the elective activities organisedby teachers Dave Smith and Zowie Newtonwas a three day Learn-to-Sail course atLake Ngaroto.
Ngaroto Sailing Club supported Te Awa-mutu College Sailing Club by hiring their
club dinghies, patrol boats and clubhouse.Of the 11 students put through their
paces, only three had previous sailingexperience.
The students learned ‘no-wind sailingtechniques’ used to get them moving eventhough there was no wind.
Te Awamutu College Sailing Club hasgrown from two to 10 members this seasonunder the tuition of Smith and Newton.
Chances are that numbers will swell to15 or more next season, with at least five ofthose involved in the Learn-to-Sail courseindicating they want to take up the sportseriously.
Te Awamutu College is planning toenter a team in the annual Waikato, Bay ofPlenty, Coromandel Secondary Schools’Fleet Racing Championships for the Bur-gess Trophy in February, 2010.

TC190509SP11PHANTOM kickboxers Matt Galbraith (left) andSam Rist with their trophies from Waikato and TeKuiti regional championships.
Te Awamutu Phantomkickboxer Matt Galbraithis making a good fist of acareer as a k1 fighter.
Galbraith outpointedhometown hero PeteThompson in Te Kuiti toclinch his second con-secutive regional victory,having won the Waikatotitle in February.
Thompson came outfighting hard, catchingGalbraith with some goodhead punches.
Galbraith worked histiming and distancingwell, picking his oppon-ent off with a multitude ofkicks.
The Phantom cornerkept him away fromThompson’s close work-ing punches to keep pick-ing off the points.
Galbraith’s managerRick Dobson is now set-ting him up for Aucklandand a national title, hope-fully to be on the card forthe Te Awamutu Lords ofthe Ring Promotion endof August.
Sam Rist (16) won histhird fight in a row at TeKuiti, beating a heavierDucheon Walker-Withersof New Plymouth.
Rist used his reachand long kicks to keep hisopponent at bay. He hadWalker-Withers stumb-ling at one point but hewas saved by the bell.
Rist won the bout onpoints to complete of hat-trick of wins.
Phantom kickboxing’swins tally is buildingrapidly this year.
The local fighters aremanaged by Rick Dobson,a veteran kick boxer with35 years experience inmartial arts and the cur-rent manager/coach ofthe New ZealandKickboxing team.
Dobson arranges thefighters matches and title
bids, then discusses theindividuals strengths andweaknesses with headcoach Neil Fynn, whoputs strategies into placefor the individual.
‘‘No two fighters arethe same, so we work ontheir strengths and buildthat up ready for a fight,’’says Dobson.
‘‘Once we evaluate theopposition on the night,we will make anyadjustments as the fightgoes to emphasise thefighter’s strengthsagainst their opponent.’’
Fynn was coach of thenational squad fightingin Portugal, as well as theprofessional team fight-ing in Britain in 2008.
‘ ‘We work welltogether for our fighters,’’says Dobson.
‘‘We will regularly dis-cuss the individualsneeds then put certainstrategies into place tobuild on their own abil-ities.
‘‘It’s about evaluatingeach person as anindividual. So manycoaches and trainerstrain their fighters orteam the same. This can-not work in the person’sfavour as everybodyworks differently.’’
Next on the card forPhantom kickboxing’sfull contact fighters is anovice day at the Te Awa-mutu gym on May 30.

Craig latches onto latewinner for Sports
TC190509CA02CENTRE Jordan Craig sprints for the tryline much to the delight of his team mates.
Te Awamutu Sports’ centreJordan Craig snatched victoryfrom the jaws of defeat with anintercept try five minutes fromfulltime against Otorohanga atAlbert Park on Saturday.
At that stage Ecolab Te Awa-mutu Sports trailed the visitors10-8 into the wind and defeatappeared imminent.
Craig’s midfield intercept ledto a try under the posts, whichwas converted by first fiveWaylon Tangohau to give Sports a15-10 victory. The four vital com-petition points secured should seeSports safely through to the Top 8championship in Waikatopremier division.
Peter Bain reports that Sportsplayed with the wind in the firstspell and had Otorohanga pinneddown deep inside their own half.
For all the attacking Sports did
they couldn’t break the Otoro-hanga defence, going close manytimes, but could only manage asingle penalty goal to Tangohau,this seeing them go to the break3-0.
At the break Otorohangaturned with the wind behind themand had their turn at puttingsome pressure on Sports. Sportsdefence was solid and Otorohangacouldn’t find a way through.
Both sides hammered away ateach other for much of the secondhalf before Sports mounted aseries of attacks on the Otoro-hanga line, being ‘held-up in goal’several times.
Sports moved the ball wide anda big cut-out pass from ThomasBird putting wing, Justin Thomp-son outside a man and he had aclear run to the corner to score.
With Sports leading 8-0, Otoro-
hanga fired up and a missedtackle saw them storm down theleft wing to score. Within minutesthey had added a penalty and hadthe lead 10-8, before Craig’sheroics ripped victory out of theirgrasp.
Up front for Sports, propKieran Ramage was awardedplayer of the day with a solid all-round game, having the better ofhis opposite at scrum time andmaking some big charges onattack.
Lock, Richard Mandenosecured plenty of lineout ball forhis team. Tangahou againdirected play well from first-five,and full-back, Andy Powell hadanother handy performance fromthe back.
Sports’ final game of the roundis away to Southern United inTokoroa next Saturday.
