By Cathy AsplinThere was plenty to

celebrate at a special Kihikihi School assembly last week.

As well as great excite-ment over joining the Books in Homes pro-gramme, Kihikihi pupils helped mark the scheme’s 10th birthday and wel-comed author Tony Wil-liams as guest speaker for their fi rst Role Model Assembly.

The Books in Homes Programme was inspired by Alan Duff (and so has been commonly referred to as ‘Duffy Books’).

With the help of Chris-tine Fernyhough he devel-oped the idea after realis-ing that failures in adult life often stem from child-hoods spent in bookless homes. The philosophy behind the programme is simple - to break the cycle of ‘booklessness’.

“Children who cannot read often become adults who cannot communicate - a serious disadvantage in a world that operates on the written word.”

Schools involved in the Books in Homes pro-gramme are selected from areas where the children are most likely to come from bookless homes.

Mr Duff ’s self-help phi-losophy is refl ected in the fact that each school joins in a fi nancial partnership with their sponsors to fund their books.

The books are selected by the children and are theirs to take home and keep. Each book has a label which has the child’s name on it as well as the name of the school and sponsor who has given the book.

There are currently over 400 schools nationwide in the programme.

Twice a year Role Model Assemblies are held at every school.

Sportspeople, musi-cians, artists, writers,

radio personalities, televi-sion presenters, fashion presenters and many other New Zealanders visit, present books and talk to the students about their achievements and goals.

They impress on chil-dren that it is ‘cool’ to read and make a connec-tion between success and reading.

For the Kihikihi School Role Model Assembly Tony Williams enter-tained Kihikihi School

children with some of his ‘acting’ skills and read an excerpt from one of his books.

The Welsh author who now lives in Auckland has written about every-thing from New Zealand’s most notorious criminals to New Zealand’s rugby playing heroes.

He has 30 published books, including several children’s stories such as ‘Fizz the Wildest Boy in the Universe’ and ‘Erik the Viking Raider’.

Amongst his non-fi ction works are ‘Cassino’ (an account of soldiers in the 1944 battle for Italy) and a book about murdered teenager Kirsty Bently (written in conjunction with her mother).

He has also compiled an encyclopaedia and an atlas.

“My aim has been to write in various styles - I began writing for maga-zines and want to eventu-ally have a number one international bestseller!”

Passions running high over threat to green

Nicky Samuel has fi elded dozens of calls from impassioned supporters after her staking initiative at Anzac Green last week.

And ‘black limb bands’ have appeared on the trees which would be removed if the proposed Vaile Street realignment proceeds - with R.I.P. painted on them.

Former Te Awamutu Community Board member, Stephen Lee placed the mourning symbols on the trees as he feels strongly about their likely loss.

The Courier’s Letters to the Editor column has refl ected strong feelings too in the community about the likely loss of green space.

The issue arose at Te Awamutu Grey

Power’s meeting on Tuesday. Council representatives pointed out that no-body had complained when the area was occupied by the old swimming pool - the issue has only arisen after the area was grassed over following the removal of the pool complex.

Mrs Samuel says feedback forms fi lled in at Council offi ces do not quali-fy as submissions.

“I urge anyone who feels strongly about the revocation of Reserve status on Anzac Green to send a written sub-mission by April 29 to ‘Waipa District Council, c/- Opus International Con-sultants, Private Bag 3057, Hamilton, Attention Tanya Running’,” she says.

YOUR LETTERS

I am grateful to Nicky Samuel for pegging out the area of Anzac Green which could be taken in the proposed scheme for the realignment of the portion of the road between Bank and Teasdale Streets.

This portion of Vaile Street is used as a quick by-pass to the west from the southern roundabout.

There is little respect for mothers with prams and toddlers.

It is dangerous for persons of all ages attending ap-pointments with the GPs, specialists, dentists, x-ray department, medical labora-tory and the physiotherapy clinic.

If that area of Vaile Street were to be a one-way street

with judder bars and a speed limit of 30mph, with a pedestrian crossing to the chemist shop, there would be no excuse or reason to invade Anzac Green.

Too many areas of this bor-ough have been converted to other uses, mainly to serve the motor vehicle and mam-mon, nullifying the vision and hope of former citizens

and councillors.Once taken, I have yet

to see green areas in Te Awamutu returned to their former state of reserve land, but I have encountered the illegal reversal of status of piece of land designated reserve under a district scheme. I challenged this to no avail.

Keep it green in centre of Te Awamutu

It was with much delight I read your article about Nicky Samuel and the Anzac Green.

Go Nicky!After having been a resident of Te

Awamutu for some seven years, I am delighted the Nicky is taking a stand.

The small beautiful town of Te Awamutu cannot become a part of the high handed bureaucracy like the big-ger cities are having to handle.

‘Keep it Green’.What a shame that council have

taken it upon themselves to take away more of the little greenery that is left in the centre of Te Awamutu.

Keep up the good work all those in the stand against this and I will be keeping an eye on the updates in the Courier On Line.PAM LECHEMINANT (NEE SONNTAG)

How good to see the Community Constable back on the beat full time.

The wishes of those 1200 or so people of Te Awamutu, who signed a Chamber of Commerce sponsored petition last December asking for pre-cisely this to happen, have been met.

Thank you to the hierarchy of the local police for making this happen; the sight of a policeman on the streets

is a strong and positive message to those who fl out the law that their be-haviour will not be tolerated.

The Chamber of Commerce is pleased to have been the catalyst in this process.

MICHAEL COXExecutive officer, Te Awamutu

Chamber of Commerce

Upbeat about constable’s return

I’m 17. I’m not yet old enough to vote, or be prosecuted as an adult in a court of law.

But I know right from wrong and the Council is treading a fi ne line.

The proposal to remove part of the Anzac Green is preposterous. I ap-plaud Nicky Samuel’s protest and have one of my own to start; why should the community lose out just so a business can have more parking?

Personally, I agree with the widen-

ing of the Bank Street side to allow for angle parking, and maybe it will solve the so-called ‘parking crisis’ for Te Awamutu citizens.

But if you’re going to support the Te Awamutu Medical Centre business, what about the Mahoe Street Medical Centre?

Are you going to rip some land up so they can have a parking area too?

By Grant Johnston“I don’t know why but I just sort of froze,

pinned by that hellish blue light that lit up every part of the kite.

“I kept circling and diving and climb-ing, going nowhere until Todd, my bomb aimer said, ‘If you don’t get away from here Hewitt, I’ll jump out and leave you to it!’

“With that I pulled the stick right back, and though no one would believe it, did a sort of stall turn and on we went, very shaken.”

Bill Hewitt lived through that incident as a bomber pilot in World War II, based at East Anglia, England.

He married Kaye, a WAAF wireless operator, and in 1945 returned to New Zealand with his wife. They have three children and four grandchildren.

After training as a teacher he served as principal at Te Awamutu Intermediate School for 13 years, retiring in 1986.

Mr Hewitt is a member of Te Awamutu Rotary Club, which led to him being in-cluded, along with fellow club member Peter Winter, in a newly released book detailing 56 personal experiences of World War II.

‘Everyone’s War’, compiled by Don Taylor, was a Fitzroy Rotary Club project to mark 100 years of service by Rotary International.

Messrs Hewitt and Winter each has a chapter dedicated to them - telling of their experiences as pilots during World War II.

Another excerpt from Mr Hewitt’s chap-ter (‘Ours Not to Reason Why’) describing another sortie over Germany:

“Sometimes we see other aircraft caught in the searchlight beams and we try not to think when one blows up in an almighty fl ash.

“Stirlings don’t get very high; we usu-ally bombed at 13,000 feet. The rest of the aircraft are 5,000 to 10,000 feet above us and the shells fi red at them pass us on the way up, then burst and the pieces fall past us on the way down, as do the bombs they drop. It wasn’t a healthy life.

“It is after 1am and the crew room is fi lled with tired young men. Debriefi ng over, we eventually go out into the cold night air, fi nd our bikes and ride off to the mess for a meal of bacon and eggs served with lovely hot tea and toast.

“Sadly there are seven bikes still outside, waiting for owners who will not return.”

When he attends Anzac services, Mr Hewitt knows what the term sacrifi ce means.

“During the winter of 1942-43 I believe that the loss rate was about seven out of 10 and only one out of 10 completed 30 trips (including Mr Hewitt himself).”

Peter Winter witnessed tragedy before the fi rst night operation on which he fl ew left the ground.

“My squadron leader, who was formerly the head salesman at H & J Court in Hamilton, took off just before us and called out his best wishes on the intercom as he passed our aircraft. He was a top rate pilot, but moments after leaving the runway he inexplicably struck a marker pylon crash-

ing in a ball of fl ame.“We shook as we took off, passing over

his funeral pyre.“If that wasn’t enough, my navigator

directed us clean over the middle of one of the largest enemy aerodromes in our sector. I tested the Mossie’s vertical top speed thoroughly in getting out of that situation.”

The ‘Mossie’ Mr Winter refers to was the new aircraft developed at the time called the Mosquito and nicknamed the ‘Wooden Wonder’ as it was built of wood.

The fi rst one built on a Canadian assem-bly line was put on display in Toronto and Mr Winter was chosen to pose with it for publicity purposes - along with an Austral-ian, an Englishman and a Canadian repre-senting four different Empire countries.

A special post war memory for Mr Winter was being chosen to fl y in the fi lm featur-ing the daring air raid on Amiens Prison, where Mosquitos breached the walls with bombs allowing captured French Resist-ance personnel to escape.

His war service started in Canada, along with 60 Kiwi pilot trainees attending the Canadian Air Training Scheme at Bran-don, Manitoba. They were shattered to fi nd that although they had originally been destined for fi ghters, they were all being steered towards multi-engined aircraft.

After distinguishing himself on the training course, Mr Winter became an instructor.

In November 1944 he was sent to Har-well in England.

“My fi nal operational posting was to 487 NZ Intruder Squadron at Rosieres, France. Previously the squadron had fl own out of Thorney Island, Southampton, where our mates told us that the greatest hazard was passing American Flying Fortress bombers returning from daylight operations over Europe. They didn’t know the meaning of aircraft recognition and their gunners hosed everything that moved.”

Mr Winter also settled in Te Awamutu after the war and he and his wife Jean-nette have three children. He came here to manage RB Seabrook Austin Ferguson, later returning to the insurance fi eld and is a life member of Te Awamutu Chamber of Commerce as well as chairman of Te

Awamutu Motor Trade Association. He joined Te Awamutu Rotary Club in 1958.

Messrs Winter and Hewitt have been awarded Rotary’s highest honour - the Paul Harris Fellowship through Te Awamutu Rotary Club.

Te Awamutu Light Operatic Society is staging some great school holiday enter-tainment with it lat-ests production which opens on Saturday.

Director Suzanne Bond says TALOS is proud to present the New Zealand premiere of the Little Tin Sol-dier.

“The show has been adapted from the fairy-tale ‘The Brave Soldier’ by Hans Christian An-derson.

“It’s a lovely chil-dren’s musical with bright music, interest-ing characters and a chance for Te Awamutu children to show off their talent on stage.”

The basic storyline revolves around a young boy - Mark - who is given a set of tin sol-diers from the cook for his birthday.

In Toyland the sol-diers and other char-acters come to life and the Little Tin Soldier falls in love with the beautiful Ballerina.

His love for her is challenged by the Gob-lin, who is also in love with the Ballerina and plans to marry her.

Sadly, a terrible storm blows the Lit-

tle Tin Soldier into the gutter and he is washed out to sea and swallowed by a fi sh.

King and Queen Neptune also get swallowed by the fi sh, which is later caught and sold at the market - to Mark - who brings it home for tea.

There is great ex-citement when the fi sh is opened and the

Little Tin Soldier has returned with some friends.

He defeats the Goblin and ends up, as all good fairytales do, marrying the Ballerina.

The Little Tin Soldier runs from April 23 to May 7 at the Woolshed in Mahoe Street.

There are fi ve mati-nees (1.30pm start), in-stead of the usual two,

to cater for the many children and families who would like to at-tend.

Evening performanc-es begin at 7.30 pm.

Tickets are available from The Woolshed (ph 871 7637, 10 am - 2 pm). Ticket prices are Adults $15, School Stu-dents and Senior Citi-zens $12 and Children (under 12 years) $10.

Rural blokes have their chance to represent the rural community in the third Fiel-days Rural Bachelor of the Year competition.

Entries have now opened and competition co-ordinator Elysia Shirtliff assures eligi-ble contestants that it is “well worth applying.”

“There are some great prizes up for grabs but the experience is even greater,” she says.

“The seven fi nalists from last year had an amazing week and represented the rural community with pride. Each walked away from the competition saying it was one of their most fun and reward-ing experiences.”

The guys will be hosted in the secret bachelor pad and “treated like real celebrities” according to Miss Shirtliff.

“There are some really fun activities and heats organised this year, it’s a great week for everyone involved.”

The competition seeks to fi nd the ultimate rural bach-elor by selecting seven fi nal-ists from the applications and sending them to the NZ Na-tional Agricultural Fieldays in June.

There they compete for the prestigious ‘Fieldays Rural Bachelor of the Year’ title through a series of heats.

Heats are designed to test the skills of a ‘good all round Kiwi rural bloke’.

They will cover all aspects of the typical rural Kiwi bloke’s lifestyle including fencing, cooking, farm fashion, digger driving, chainsawing, dog tri-aling, gumboot building and classic Kiwi sport.

2004 winner Justin Nelson of Te Aroha will return as a judge and handing over the Golden Gumboot trophy on the fi nal day.

Eligible contestants will be over 18, work in the ru-ral industry, ooze Kiwi bloke charm and most importantly,

be single. The competition is spon-

sored by ZM along with sup-porting sponsors Swanndri, Waikato Draught, Stihl, Moanui, BBQ Factory, Free-

dom Air, Accom Gold Coast, Ford, Skellerup and Telecom.

Entries close on May 27. Entry forms are available on www.fi eldays.co.nz or by call-ing (07) 843 4497.

History sparks memories

BROTHERS Allen (centre) and Maurice (right) Irwin are delighted with the display honouring their late father set up in Te Awamutu RSA by club historian, Alistair Kerr (left). 111057AD

By Grant JohnstonWhen brothers Allen and

Maurice Irwin have a beer in the Te Awamutu RSA on Mon-day, they may feel like their late father Joe is sharing the mo-ment with them.

RSA historian Alistair Kerr has researched Mr Irwin sen-ior’s military story and present-ed a display in the clubrooms.

The brothers said they were delighted and proud that their father had been chosen by Mr Kerr for the display in conjunc-tion with Anzac Day.

Joe Irwin was a veteran of the 1899-1902 South African (Boer) War - a private in the 6th Con-tingent and one of 6,500 Kiwis who fought in that war.

A keen and accomplished horseman, conditions suited Joe’s talents, as most of the fi ghting was done from horse-back.

Most of the New Zealanders and Australians came from ru-

ral backgrounds and their skills in horsemanship, shooting and use of cover were renowned.

The Campaign Medal in the display shows Joe was involved in fi ghting in every province in South Africa.

In 1900 he was invalided home with enteric fever, but he returned to the war as soon as he was fi t enough - just six months later.

He was promoted to the rank of Regimental Quartermaster Sergeant.

Back home, on the outbreak of World War I he volunteered, but was refused as he had too many children.

In 1912 he moved to the Waikato and later, in Te Awamutu, started a small cream reception factory.

He later won a contract with the Dairy Company bringing cream in from the Mangapiko, Pirongia and Te Pahu areas.

A keen member of Te

Awamutu RSA, he held the post of vice-president in 1928.

He was a keen snooker player and his personal cues form part of the display, along with his military jacket and a photo of him leading the Te Awamutu Anzac Parade in 1967.

Joe Irwin passed away in 1971 at the age of 91.

Son Allen (85) (who served in World War II in Egypt with the Fire Unit) says his father was extremely proud of his war service.

“Conditions were tough. He used to tell us about hailstones so big, they would have to take the saddles off the horses and cover their heads with them to stop the horses being injured.”

Mr Kerr says while the Boer War is now over a century in the past, it is important for RSA members to know that their campaigns were just as hazardous and diffi cult as any in subsequent wars.


Augusta to Kihikihi

TIGER WOODS’ caddy Steve Williams found the perfect way to come back to earth after the golfing superstar’s epic win in the US Masters last week (right). Back home, Williams competed in the Limited Saloons section at the North Island MIdget Championships meeting at McDonald’s KIhikihi Speedway on Sunday. His sponsor Valvoline was also sponsor for the Limited Saloons competition, in which Williams’ Huntly team finished runners up. He will be back at Kihikihi on May 1 to contest the KIng Country LImited Saloon Championship. 11058AD

Michael Hatton featured with both bat and ball in Te Awamutu College Colts cricket team’s fi nal match against St Peter’s.

Hatton top scored with 26 out of a total of 141, then claimed 2-24 in St Peter’s reply of 142/4.

Cameron Forsman and Clayton Yates both scored 20 runs and claimed a wicket.

Korakonui’s Nathan Lawry had bowling fi g-ures of 3-32 for St Peter’s.

Hatton fi nished the season with nine wickets at 13 runs per wicket and scored 143 runs at 24.

Top batsman was Andrew Lea with 182 runs at 30, followed by captain Matthew Seabright with 132 at 26.

New ‘Womenz’ store receives great responseIN BUSINESS CIRCLES

The ‘sister’ shop to Menz recently opened on Alexandra Street and has already been well received by cus-tomers.

‘Womenz’ opened two weeks ago, in the premises formerly used by Xpressions clothing store, and is the brainchild of Menz owner Jean Warbur-ton.

The idea to open another store and replicate the success of Menz, this time cater-ing for women, came when Ms Warburton was approached to stock the women’s Canterbury range alongside the existing

men’s range.“It made me think

about having a ‘Womenz’ store and the pieces fell into place quite quickly.

“After fi nding a suitable premises, I also found some great suppliers and have been well supported by fantastic local trades-people in getting the shop ready.

“It went off without a hitch.”

The store has been revamped to best dis-play the new stock, which features a range of dressy, casual wear for all age groups.

Cosy jerseys, quality knitwear and stylish

shirts, trousers and skirts are available in a range of sizes.

There are also winter coats, jackets, gloves, hats and un-derwear, as well as the Canterbury clothing range which provided the initial inspiration for the shop.

“Canterbury has re-cently taken on a new designer too, so there will certainly be plenty of exciting items to come, especially for summer.”

But the best re-sponse at Womenz has been to the range of jeans instore.

“We have had won-derful feedback from

our customers about the jeans.

“Many people are just so delighted to fi nd comfortable jeans in their size, that actu-ally fi t well.

“A great pair of jeans is an essential item for any wardrobe.”

With friendly, help-ful, knowledgeable staff, fi nding a winter wardrobe is easy at Womenz.

The shop (at 293 Alexandra Street) is open from 9am to 5pm Monday to Friday, 9.30am to 12.30pm on Saturdays and at other times by appointment (ph 871 2180 for fur-ther details).

Frosty Boy too hot for opposition

By Colin ThorsenElaine Carson has

swept all before her with purebred Welsh pony Ngakoroa Frosty Boy, two years after suffering serious inju-ries in a head-on motor vehicle accident.

Over the past six months Carson and her two-year-old, 11h.h. golden Palomi-no have taken out fi ve supreme champions, seven champions and nine reserve champi-ons at 14 shows from Whangarei to Hast-ings.

It’s a remark-able achievement by anyone’s standard, let alone a 63-year-old woman who has had to learn to run again with a very sore knee and foot.

Handlers, like Car-son, are required to run beside their ponies just as they do in the televised Tux Wonder Dogs.

Season highlights include winning best turned out Welsh pony and handler at the Horse of the Year in Hastings, along with two second placings and reserve champion Welsh pony.

Their season ended on a high note at the Royal Easter Show, winning reserve

champion Welsh pony, champion golden horse and supreme champion golden horse.

Carson bought ‘Frosty’ as a fi ve month old foal still on his mother.

She recalls the hor-ror day (May 2, 2003) when they never made it to the second show they were travelling to in Auckland.

Carson and her grand daughter Tracey Corney ended up in Waikato Hospital after a car crossed the centre line and hit her truck head-on, over-turning it.

Corney broke her leg

and Carson was ‘badly knocked around’, suf-fering serious leg inju-ries and torn tendons in a shoulder.

She is still awaiting surgery to correct the troublesome shoulder.

Frosty and her moth-er waited patiently in the truck until they were cut out by the Fire Brigade.

The truck was writ-ten off.

Carson has been overwhelmed by the support she has re-ceived from friends since her accident.

Mark Irwin found her another truck and, thanks to friends and

her son-in-law (Ross), it has been transformed into a motor home with room in the back for Frosty to travel in.

Trail ridersIt is anticipated

over 800 riders from Whangarei to Welling-ton will participate in the Anzac Weekend trail ride at Lake Ohakuri.

Organiser Jerome Gare says 200 of the riders will be from Te Awamutu on their two and four wheel off road bikes.

For more information contact Peter Glidden Honda.

So you’ve decided to embark on building a home.It’s a big move and one that’s fraught with dan-

ger for the unwary. One of the most critical deci-sions you’ll make will be choosing your builder.

Whether the builder is a total stranger or someone you’ve known for years, you need to specify exactly what you require and what is required of you.

There’s too much at stake to go leaving loose ends or relying on good faith and friendship.

A contract is a legally binding agreement that serves to protect everyone involved.

Because you’re depend-ent on the parties to the agreement honouring it to the best of their ability, you need to do some home-work fi rst and check out the builder you’ve chosen.

Ask him how many years he’s been around and if he’s ever traded under a different name. Ask the about current and past jobs.

Most builders have enough happy customers to be able to organise a visit onsite and often a chat to the home owners.

Observe the state of the building site and the condition of vehicles and tools. People are usu-ally happy to tell you whether or not the job was completed on time and within budget, as well as discussing the quality of workmanship.

Membership of the Master Builders’ Association is a good sign, as credit and history checks, and stringent workmanship inspections are prerequi-sites to membership being granted.

You need protection against things that go wrong - death or injury to the builder, liquidation of the builder’s company, and work that fails to meet the required standards, so ask about the builder’s in-

surance cover.That done, the next vital step is a contract.Your builder may have a standard contract

which will do perfectly, but make sure it includes the following...

You need the full names and addresses of both par-ties, specifi c details of the terms of the contract, a de-scription of the work to be done, including plans and specifi cations, the agreed cost of the job, start and fi nish dates, and insur-ance details.

The builder may wish to include a warning that any price increases for ma-terials beyond his control will be met.

Bear in mind that many items will not yet have been chosen at the time of signing the contract, so you’ll need to be certain that there is adequate pro-vision for them. Be clear about whether or not cost of an item includes instal-lation.

Payment details too should be included in the contract. You and your builder should agree on stages of completion which, when reached, will require you to pay to that stage of the project.

If any of the job is going to be sub-contracted, specify who will be accountable for the standard of that work, and whether the sub-contractors’ con-tracts will be with you or with your builder.

Above all, remember that anything you agree to verbally should be written down. This is an agree-ment that cuts both ways - variations to the plan on which the builder quoted may appear as extras.

You may not particularly like being so formal, but you’re dealing with a signifi cant fi nancial as-set. Your dreams and your dollars should not be relying on chance.

Planning living spaces Houses aren’t really

getting that much bigger.In most cases, we still

build the same exterior sizes of home we have al-ways built, the extra space is more an optical illusion arising from the trend to open plan living.

Innovation in building materials and methods has meant that much wider spaces can be spanned without the inter-mediate support of walls.

Our living areas can now be huge empty spac-es. In fact, when you fi rst see the framing going into your new home, you can wonder if the space isn’t just too big, more like a meeting hall than a home.

Subtle defi nition be-tween the separate areas softens the effect.

Furniture placement and changes in fl oor coverings and ceiling heights add cosiness while preserving all the open plan benefi ts of space and light.

Central kitchens are the design rule of the day.

It’s a functional idea, giving access to the home’s central feature from family room, dining area and often even the lounge and the garden.

But they can look as if they’ve been ‘plonked’ in the middle.

A difference in ceiling height or curvature around the kitchen area can sof-

ten the line and create the illusion of separation, as will a change in fl oor coverings from say tiles to carpet or sisal, and subtle changes in colour.

If you like the look of columns - and they can be produced in myriad styles, not just your standard and increasingly common Gre-cian look - you can create what looks like a cosy lit-tle kitchen nook within the open plan theme.

Big spaces often call for less clutter.

As the framing goes in, consider whether you want to build in your

sound system as well. Your stereo can be

located in cupboard in an adjoining room, with speakers and wires hid-den in walls and ceilings.

You’ll probably also fi nd that the size of the space you’re fi lling requires furni-ture on a larger scale than you may be used to.

Big furniture is a plus in open plan decorating, because it can even form ‘walls’ - a large bookcase or shelves can separate dining and sitting areas, or the lounge furniture itself, arranged in a con-versational grouping with

its back to the functional areas, rather than along the walls, can do the same separation job. Big plants are another effec-tive screening device.

Many home owners now opt for all hard fl oors, timber and tiles.

You can still defi ne ar-eas at fl oor level with the use of different fl oor rugs.

This is a good trick if you favour traditionally styled furniture, which can look out of place in the casual environment of open plan space, because you can opt for traditional style rugs to create ‘rooms’.

Basic design considerations

Leaving the planning and building to the experts is usually a good idea, but don’t forget you are the one who has to live in the fi nished result.

So it does plan to make sure that you are not going to be incon-venienced by doors that open the wrong way or taps that you can’t reach anywhere except inside the actual bath

There are some design basics which you need to take into account when looking over the plans for your home while they are still on paper and not on site, where its harder to change them.

● Make sure any door is not go-ing to hit a permanent fi xture, such as a bathroom vanity, the car when it’s parked in the garage - even the

shower cubicle.● If there is fl oor space between

fi xtures, make sure it is at least 150mm in depth, otherwise it will be too hard to clean.

● You need at least 530mm of clear space in front of a toilet and 380mm from the centre of the toilet bowl to any wall fi xture on either side.

● Make sure ventilation in areas such as bathroom, kitchen and laun-dry is adequate. Bigger windows if less light, preferably some type of mechanical ventilation otherwise - mould is the biggest problem in New Zealand homes today.

● Check that you are going to be able to reach both the taps in your shower or bath without having to vir-

tually stand in the utility to do so. ● Don’t allow the shower head to

permanently face the shower door, make sure the unit has a head which can be moved to one side.

● If using overhead cupboards in the kitchen, make sure there is plenty of room for the height of your fridge.

● Have care about where you site your oven. If next to the entry in a galley kitchen for example, ac-cidents have been known to hap-pen when the 10 year old son or daughter races around the corner - and straight into a hot pot being transferred elsewhere.

● Make sure your linen or hotwa-ter cupboard has enough shelves to fi t everything you need it to.

IF you’re building your new home to include open plan living, think about how you will defi ne those living spaces.

Plan before attempting

Renovating? It pays to have a little think before you begin...

The devil you know is not always a better option than the devil you don’t, especially when it comes to renovating an older home.

Before you decide on a big renovation project, there are a number of points to consider, and every one of them impacts on whether the project is going to be worthwhile, in terms of your lifestyle, your time and your money in the short and the long term.

How much you do to your home is your choice, but the fi nancial viability of your plans is going to be infl uenced by some factors outside of your control.

The fi rst consideration is whether you’ll spend more on the renovation than the land value justifi es. It’s called over-capitalising — building a high cost home in a low cost area. When you sell, you won’t get back the money you’ve invested in the property.

There are also environmental factors. If your neighbourhood is full of small retirement units, would you be wise to build a big house, or are you creating a big executive family home in a neigh-bourhood where families might not be interested in living?

What you want to achieve might not be the best alternative for the house you’ve got. To page 17

WHAT seems like a simple little renovation, may become a large costly nighmare without planning.


From page 16.Ideally, for minimal cost, your reno-

vation vision should involve using as much of the existing structure as pos-sible.

The more you move plumbing, electricity and bearer walls about, the more it will cost.

It may be that shopping for a totally different house you can work on is a bet-ter option than carrying out ma-jor internal sur-gery on the one you’ve got.

Which way the house faces to the sun is a big c o n s i d e ra t i o n too, and should form the basis of any plans to alter the home.

Many reno-vations begin because existing design errors are driving the home owner nuts.

But is what you want to do as a complete plan going to eliminate the mistakes, compromise the error, or create new annoyances?

If you’re going to go on living in the house while renovations are underway, try to plan the changes as stages of the project.

You can live without your bath for a week, and perhaps without your shower as well, if you can wash at someone else’s place.

But can you get by without kitchen and bathroom at the same time?

The weather is also a consideration. You’ll be a lot happier with a tarpaulin covering a hole in the wall during mid summer than you will in mid winter.

You need to establish your priorities, and work out where to start to cause the least disruption to your living.

And think hard about the style of what you’re planning and whether its com-patible with the current style of the house.

Do you want to keep the cur-rent style of the house and match the renovations to it, change the lot to a different style altogether, or keep the old and contrast the new?

A mix of differ-ent styles can be very successful. It can also be an

absolute disaster.Once you’ve taken the basics into

account, you’ll have a fair idea wheth-er renovation is a possibility.

Then it’s smart to draw up a draft plan and muck around with it for a while, before discussing it with an architect or architectural draughtsper-son, who should be able to give you a ballpark fi gure on costs and point out any pitfalls that may lie on your path.

Ohaupo proving big darts threat

Newcomers Ohaupo are look-ing the team to beat after four series of matches in Te Awamutu subsidiary darts round.

The Ohaupo squad of Derek Price, Shona Lawson, Peter Mor-ris, Troy Roberts, Tahi Bidios, Tama Reuben, Josh Dunne and Sheryl Bridges have recorded wins over Te Awamutu Sports Stranglers, Pirongia Hotel, Joy’s Riff Raff and WWMC Arrows.

They are one of four unbeaten teams - the others being TA Sports Waikeria, WWMC F.B.I. and Rebels.

Ohaupo looked championship winning material beating last year’s champions WWMC Ar-rows (11-6) and a Pirongia Hotel side (14-3) bolstered by the ad-dition of Ken Bardsley to their line-up this year.

Nomads Too are in touch with the leading quartet, having recorded three wins from four games.

Four players have thrown 180s, Robbie Hoyes (Arrows), Peter Hunt, Nigel Walker (TA Sports Waikeria) and Ken Bard-sley (Pirongia Hotel).

Stags roarTe Awamutu Sports Stags ran

in six tries beating Northern 34-22 in Waikato division two rugby.

The larger Sports’ pack domi-nated their opponents in the fi rst half, providing the backs with a plentiful supply of ball.

The home team capitilised, running in four tries to lead 24-5 at halftime at Albert Park.

Northern’s superior fi tness in the second spell got them within striking distance at 29-22.

They were hot on attack look-ing for the equaliser, only to concede a second try (from a counter-attack) to Sports’ half-back and player of the day Kerry Emery.

Other try scorers were K. Earwaker (2), B. Hintz and M. Allen.

Stags beat Te Akau 13-8 the previous week after default-ing their fi rst game to Hellfi sh (University).

Tart, Evans winning foursomes combo

John Tart and Ros Evans won a hotly contested mixed Cana-dian foursomes for the Andrew Whiley Cup at Te Awamutu Golf Club.

Tart and Evans returned a 60.5 net on Sunday to pip the husband and wife pairing of Graeme and Karen Buckley on 61.

John Jones and Helen Ander-son were third on 64, followed by Rex and Dorothy Robbins, and Colin and Raie Green on 65.5.

Twos were recorded by both the winners and runners-up, and Keith and Robyn Norris.

Pair burst from packColin Campbell and Doug

Dean are the runaway leaders after the fi rst of three rounds for the Ryan Cup at Pirongia Golf Club.

The joint leaders are three shots clear of their nearest ri-vals after both returned scores of 10-up on par on Sunday.

Campbell grossed 79 and net-ted 60, while Dean had 90 gross and 61 net.

Pat Ryan and Marty Eyre are second equal on 7-up. Ryan shot 81 gross playing off a 20 handicap.

Campbell benefi tted further by striking the junior jackpot with a brace of twos.

Kieran Hurrell was a worthy player of the day recipient after kicking Te Awamutu Sports un-der-21 rugby team to a 9-3 win over Hautapu.

Coach Joe Sprangers reports that it was a forward domi-nated game that could only be described as a battle of attrition between two evenly matched teams.

Te Awamutu dominated pos-session and territory through-out the fi rst half, holding onto the ball for long periods and completing numerous continu-ous phases of play.

Credit must go to Hautapu. They worked overtime on de-

fence to prevent them scoring.Hautapu’s frustration at not

be able to get the ball resulted in several penalties in kickable positions.

Hurrell landed one for his team to lead 3-0 at halftime.

The second half was almost a carbon-copy, with Te Awamutu starving Hautapu of posses-sion.

Hautapu did manage to level at 3-3 before Hurrell landed two further penalties.

Both teams had chances to score more points but poor fi nishing and some fantastic defence from both teams pre-vented it from happening.

Te Awamutu Marist went down 19-5 to Matangi Hillcrest in a fi ery encounter at Hillcrest Park.

Matangi started the better on Saturday, scoring in the corner after 11 minutes to lead 7-0.

Marist came back strongly, only to see the Matangi centre score an intercept try.

The home team scored again from a lineout drive to lead 19-0 at halftime.

Words of wisdom from coach Wayne Wirihana saw Marist keep Matangi scoreless, while scoring a try

themselves to boot in the second half.Good build up from forwards and

backs led to No 8 John Gisborne being held up close to the line but able to offl oad to prop Kasaina Fuapaa who crashed over for the try.

Players of the day (sponsored by Super Liquor and Oliver’s Panelworks) were Fuapaa and Dion Pryor.

Other standout players were forwards Ross Rua, Jason Rowe, Jay Aramroa, and backs Johnny Wairua and Darren Marsom.

Intercept try kills Marist

Soccer teams play second fi ddle

It was a forgettable weekend all-round for Te Awamutu soccer teams.

The senior men’s Federation League team, reserve team and third team, along with the women’s division one team all lost.

Carrying the club fl ag were the women’s reserve team.

They drew 1-all away to Tokoroa, having led until the last fi ve minutes of the match.

Tracey Reekers was the Te Awamutu goal scorer.

Sarch Corney was player of the day.

Te Awamutu senior men’s team went down 1-0 to Hamilton North at the Stadium.

The solitary goal was scored by former Te Awamutu player Brian August midway through the second half.

The Hamiltonians looked set to stretch their lead after receiving a penalty late in the second half but the spot kick was brilliantly saved by player of the day Kevin Buckle.

Other stand out players for Te Awamutu were Chris Smith, Davi-eth Verhey and Kelly Westerby in defence, while Andrew Ryan and newcomer James Maxwell toiled

hard on attack.Te Awamutu have the bye this

weekend.The reserve team lost 3-1 to

Claudelands Rovers in the early game at the Stadium.

Steve Blake was the goal scorer.Te Awamutu’s third team were de-

nied a draw by a reportedly ‘dubious late goal’ against Claudelands Rov-ers at Galloway Park, Hamilton.

Last year’s Waikato women’s divi-sion one champions Meville again look the team to beat after disposing of Te Awamutu 3-0.

Melville were slightly more organ-ised and their shots on goal more powerful.

Larrisa Richards and Brogan Mathieson had half chances but, generally, the Melville keeper was untroubled in the fi rst half.

Mathieson again went close in the second half, beating three players but, with only the keeper to beat, was unable to fi nish off.

Coach Graham Smith said it was a tough game, one that should be good for the development of his side.

Te Awamutu meet Claudelands Rovers at galloway Park, 11am, this coming Sunday.

Sea-siders end Mountain Men’s unbeaten run

FIL Pirongia suffered their fi rst loss of the season in Waikato divi-sion one rugby on Saturday going down 22-18 at Raglan.

Coach Chris Gibson was happy with his team’s start to the match - they led 10-0.

“We then lost our way a bit and Raglan kept applying pressure.

“They scored a couple of soft tries - through weak defence on our part - and we never really refocussed suf-fi ciently to take control of a match that could have gone either way.”

Gibson said Raglan were a lit-

tle more hungry on the day. They were quicker to the loose ball on the ground.

Winger Rashad McGee and open-side fl anker Brent Scott scored tries for Pirongia, while fi rst fi ve Hamish Philburn landed two penalties and a conversion.

Scott had a top game until retiring with an injured ankle.

Sponsor’s day at Pirongia this Saturday should ensure a big crowd gets behind the B team at 12.30pm and the seniors at 2pm when they host their Putaruru counterparts.


Kickboxer following in dad’s footsteps

By Colin ThorsenTe Awamutu’s

outstanding young kickboxer Max Dobson is belying his tender years with an unbeaten record in open competition.

Last year he was rated as the World Association of Kickboxing Organisations (WAKO) top junior fi ghter after winning all the WAKO tournaments.

The eight-year-old recently competed at the WAKO Grand Prix event - a series of three competitions linked by the competitors scoring to rank them throughout the country.

The competitor with the most points at the end of the third event will be crowned Grand Prix champion.

Max started training in Karate in the UK when he was fi ve.

He is the son of Rick Dobson, coach of the Phantom Kickboxing Organisation based in Te Awamutu. Rick is a former British and European Karate champion, and English Kickboxing champion.

Rick started his Kickboxing club in Te Awamutu in July, 2003.

Max followed in his dad’s footsteps by leaving the traditional Karate style for the more fl uid and relaxed Martial Art of Kickboxing.

The style of Kickboxing Max trains in is ideal for children.

Full protective equipment must be worn during combat at all these junior tournaments.

This enables the children to develop their skills while

lessening the risk of serious injury.

Rick says Max has a natural ability for the sport.

“People watching him train or fi ght think we must train together every night which isn’t true.

“Max has other interests like swimming and playing on his bike, so only trains at the regular training sessions.”

His son’s only advantage is he has grown up with the sport.

Max says he wants to be a champion Martial Arts exponent like his dad.

He hopes to one day represent New Zealand at the World Championships.

The youngster will be grading for his junior

Black Belt in August.His next event will

be the WAKO national championships to be held in Te Awamutu on May 28.

The national event is open to any competitor regardless of style.

It is a semi-contact points fi ghting, kata and patterns cham-pionship.

Anyone interested in training at Max Dobson’s Kids Kick-boxing class can contact Rick on 0800 542 548

Several other local fi ghters (besides Max Dobson) impressed at the Grand Prix event.

Brad Johanson (TA Phantoms) won

the men’s over 84kg fi ghting title.

Clint King (Waikeria Hawks) had a hard fi ght against World champion Carl van Roon, losing narrowly on points, but won the Forms section.

Jasmine King (Wai-keria Hawks) took out the women’s 60kg crown.

Samuel Rist (TA Phantoms) won the over 1.60m boys’ event.

Kihikihi Phantom Instructor Joe Howells won the Musical forms division.

Te Awamutu ITF’s Anna Hall won the women’s Forms divi-sion.

Following her acclaimed shows late last year supporting the Finn Brothers in Auckland, Missy Higgins has announced her fi rst ever tour of New Zea-land.

The young singer/songwriter was unearthed by Australian alternative broadcaster Triple J three years ago when she was still at high school. Instead of

rushing in and making an al-bum she chose to spend a year backpacking around Europe before entering a recording studio.

Over the last six months Missy has enjoyed phenomenal success across the Tasman.

She’s toured her homeland with artists like John Butler Trio, Pete Murray and The Finn Brothers. Her number one album ‘The Sound Of White’ has already sold over 350,000 copies and she has won ARIA and MTV Awards and earlier this year the readers of Rolling Stone magazine voted her ‘Art-ist Of The Year’.

While her singles ‘Scar’ and ‘Ten Days’ have both received lots of radio support in New Zealand this will be Missy’s fi rst

tour of the country.To be in to win simply put

your name, address and daytime contact number on the back of a standard sized envelope, address it to the ‘Missy Higgins Competi-tion’ and make sure it reaches our offi ce by 5pm, Wednesday April 27 .

CINEMA SCENEAe Fond Kiss

Casim is a second generation Pakistani from Glasgow.

Working as a DJ in Glasgow’s coolest ven-ues, Casim dreams of buying his own club.

His parents Tariq and Sadia are devout Mus-lims and plan for him to marry his beautiful cousin Jasmine, but plans go awry when Casim meets Roisin.

A teacher at his sister Tahara’s school, Roi-sin is different from any girl he’s ever meet.

She’s gorgeous, intel-ligent and defi nitely possesses a mind of her own.

She and Casim soon fall deeply in love. But Casim knows that even if he wasn’t due to mar-ry, his parents would never accept a ‘goree’ (a white girl).

As a Catholic, Roisin fi nds that her own com-munity isn’t very sup-portive either.

When their relation-ship is discovered, the repercussions of the scandal reach far and wide and sparks fl y as cultures clash and per-sonalities collide.

The Pacifi erVin Diesel redefi nes

what it means to be an action hero in the fam-ily action-comedy The Pacifi er.

Diesel stars as Navy SEAL Shane Wolfe who, as an elite member of the world’s most highly trained force, thought he was prepared to take on any duty no matter how perilous ... until he tried baby-sitting.

Assigned to protect the fi ve out-of-control children of an assas-sinated scientist work-ing on vital govern-ment secrets, Shane is suddenly faced with juggling two incompat-ible jobs: fi ghting the bad guys while keeping

house.Replacing his usual

arsenal of wetsuits and weapons with diapers and juice boxes, Shane not only must battle a deceptive enemy, but wrangle teen rebel Zoe (Brittany Snow), sullen 14 year old Seth (Max Theriot), 8 year old Ninja-wannabe Lulu (Morgan York), as well as 3 year old Peter and baby Tyler - not to mention their off-beat Romanian Nanny (Carol Kane).

But while drop zones, demolitions and destroying enemy tar-gets come naturally to Shane, he has no idea what tough really is until he pits his cour-age against diapering, den-mothering and driver’s education.

He’s truly a SEAL out of water and now it’s up to this one-time warrior to take on the most important mis-sion of his life: keeping a family together.

Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow

Steeped in the marvellous visuals of 1930s pop culture, Ace pilot Joe ‘Sky Captain’ Sullivan (Jude Law) reluctantly teams up with her former fl ame, journalist Polly Perkins (Gwyneth Paltrow), to uncover the mystery behind a group of miss-ing scientists and a series of shocking robot attacks.

Aided by gadgetry whiz Dex Dearborn (Giovanni Ribisi) and enigmatic military com-mander Franky Cook (Angelina Jolie), Joe and Polly must fi nd out who is responsible for an elaborate scheme that may trigger the end of the world.

Stunning retro-fu-turistic design is to the fore, making for a won-derfully unique movie.
