The gala featured a mon-ster auction, garage saleand car boot sale and, des-pite terrible weather,attracted tremendous sup-port.
Te Awamutu CombinedChurches representativeJeff Falconer says it is acredit to the communitythat so much was raised.
He says it was a greatexample of the churches ofTe Awamutu, the local busi-nesses and the communitycoming together for a greatcause.
And he says it is a greatwin, win situation foreveryone involved.
People either gave goods,
time, services or cash — andeveryone got something outof it, be it pleasure, fun or abargain.
And of course Christ-church got much neededfunds.
The organisers thank allthe businesses for theirinput.
Trina White acted asliaison between businessesand organisers and says theresponse was excellent, withmany businesses which hadalready helped in other waysstill coming to the party.
Volunteers ensured theday ran smoothly and every-one pitched in where theycould to also make it a funday.

Artefact sale suggestion as way tofund new museum misses point
In Tuesday’s Letter to theEditor column, Malcolm Humeclaims to have a simple answerto building a new Te AwamutuMuseum.
The suggestion of sellingartefacts, of course, is a non-sense and highlights two otherissues the team working on thisproject have to contend with.
To deal with the suggestedsolution, it is like selling one ofthe cars to build a garage — andthen downsizing to a carport.The collection is reduced andnot properly housed.
It is the fact that Te Awa-mutu Museum Trust Boardowns such a valuable collectionthat proper facilities arerequired — for storage andconservation, and for exhi-bition and research.
By and large items in thecollection are there for a goodreason — they have all beendonated by people in this com-munity to be cared for andshared for future generations.
The Museum has a compre-hensive acquisition anddeaccession policy, which doesnot include selling donatedartefacts for fundraising.
In fact if items are recom-mended for deaccession, asthey sometimes are, there is aprocess which starts atreturning to the donor or theirfamily, and selling the item is atthe end of the list.
But I return to my originalpoint — artefacts and archivesare in the Museum because thatis where they belong.
The other two issues con-cern the type of buildingrequired and public process.
It amazes me that peoplewho have no association with,or knowledge about, ourMuseum are suddenly expertswhen it comes to what is neces-sary.
I have had a long associa-tion, now into a third decade,and I’m still no expert.
That is why expert opinionis sought and taken heed of.
And it isn’t a lack of oppor-tunity that has stopped anyonebeing part of this process.
As I have said before, plan-ning for a new facility started atleast 20 years ago and hasalways been in the publicarena.
Committed people have con-
sidered all possibilities over theyears — including all thealternative ideas now beingsuggested .
The project was included inprinciple in Council’s long termplans for the middle of thisdecade and has been on thebooks for discussion andsubmissions for some time.
Despite claims to the con-trary, little money has beenspent progressing it to the cur-rent discussion phase.
There will be unseen Coun-cil costs, as there are for anyidea or project that reaches theCouncil table, but it was agroup of mainly volunteersrepresenting this communitythat worked on the design com-petition project and came inunder their allocated $40,000budget.
It was Council that came upwith the funding model for theproject — a model I personallybelieve was not practical andnot likely to be the one that isadopted.
Te Awamutu Museum TrustBoard is not sitting on its handson this project.
They are open, and plan-
ning, to hold discussions withexperts on how to make costcuts to the project withoutaffecting the integrity of thepractical or aesthetic design.
The Board also believestheir fundraising role will begreater than one-third assuggested by the model, but asany major fundraisers knows,their hands are tied when itcomes to getting a commitmentfrom funders until there is acommitment from the mainstakeholders — the owners.
The basis Te AwamutuMuseum Trust Board works onis that the artefacts andarchives in Te AwamutuMuseum represent your his-tory — and it is our job to lookafter that to the best of ourability.
DEAN TAYLORChairman Te AwamutuMuseum Trust Board
Editor’s note: It should benoted that Council hasadvised that the direct costsfor the Te AwamutuMuseum/Theatre project are$33,000 not $100,000 asclaimed by James Parlane ina recent Letter to the Editor.
YOUR LETTERS
The message is not getting throughMalcolm Hume would like
some feedback through theCourier so, yes Malcolm wesimple ratepayers do knowwhat you are saying but somecouncillors are determined tokeep on ploughing us into everdeeper debt (see front pagearticle in Tuesday’s issue quot-
ing Joe Scaramuzza).No matter what the Deloitte
report told us, no matter Hamil-ton City has terrifying debts(thanks Vern for the figures)and such things as eventscentres and rugby parks driv-ing them to the walls.
More feedback — see the
front page Courier briefly inthe same issue about the factCouncil had 40 submissions lastyear and so far this year 50,from a total of how manyapathetic ratepayers?
They close on April 15.How hard can it be to pick up
a submission form from the
Council or library and write asubmission to say ‘stick to coreinfrastructure in order to mini-mise rates, put new projects onhold, ask the big thinkers to runtheir own Telethon fundrais-ing, stop thinking of ratepayersas Santa Claus. You do it!

Schoolmates GrantFleming, Murray Crossand Noel Matthewsloved playing rugby onthe Korakonui fields (solong as they avoided the‘‘sheep shit’’).
They also remembersports days, calf clubdays and have clearmemories of Phil Ryegiving firearms demon-strations (‘‘awesome’’).
The boys leftKorakonui School in1973 and their finalphoto together was at aleavers party (insetbelow right).
Almost 38 years laterthe trio got together atthe Korakonui SchoolCentennial and simplypicked up where theyleft off.
It was much the samefor the other 500 peopleover the weekend asmemories came floodingback.
Wendy Johnstone(nee Knowles) says shewas also delighted to seeso many classmatesfrom her era (early 50’s)
‘‘Many of them I’dlast seen when I was 12!The faces and personali-ties were in most casesrecognisable and the‘Remember When’s?’flowed fast and freely.
‘‘Talking with every-one made me realisehow much I enjoyed liv-ing in the district as achild and how proud Iam to still have a linkwith this very specialcommunity.’’
The students’ pre-sentation to guests onSaturday rekindledmore memories - withclass discipline, sportsdays, uniforms, gettingto school and lunchtimeantics producingchuckles from peoplepacked into the multi-purpose room.
The ‘Dr Who’ timetravel sequence saw ‘DrWho’ and students fromthe past coming out ofthe tardis to join currentpupils.
It was just one of thehighlights of an actionpacked weekend.
The centennialcelebrations officiallygot underway on Fridaynight with a mix andmingle.
Former pupil LesFleming entertainedeveryone with his mem-ories of the school anddistrict
He was also one of theguests that had alsotaken the opportunity toview the school in actionduring the afternoon.
On Saturday a wel-come led by MC DougHurrell and speeches(committee chair LanceGower, principal CarlaMcNeil, Eric Hohepa onbehalf of the Maori com-munity and OtorohangaMayor Dale Williams)were held in the multi-purpose room before theschool presentation anddecade photos.
A formal centenniallunch was held in a giantmarquee on the playingfield.
Due to the atrociousweather on Saturdaymany locals were upearly to help the commit-tee make sure the mar-quee was waterproof.
The centennial cakewas cut by Betty Phillips(nee Froggatt) who was apupil from 1922-1928 andfourth generation pupilKate Gallien.
Duncan Parrottspoke on behalf of theBoard of Trustees, Rich-ard Jolly and Phil Ryeabout the district andKen and Heather Brownon behalf of pastteachers.
The couple were alsoresponsible for compil-ing the centennial book,254 pages packed withphotos, memories andanecdotes.
Mrs Johnstone wasone who was amazed bysome of the stories itcontained.
‘‘I have already foundout things I previouslydidn’t know - includingthe cricket match myfather played in wherethe whole side scored noruns. Extremely funny!’’
On Sunday guestsenjoyed a tour of thedistrict. For ex-pupil andcentennial committeemember Ruth Wilson itwas a real highlight.
‘ ‘Tour conductorCharlie Kay was superb.He was able to fill us inon many of the families,from the early settlers tothose still living therenow. A wonderfulexperience.’’

Manuka Health earnings could soarEarnings by a leading company in New
Zealand’s $100 million manuka honeyexport industry have the potential toincrease ten-fold through use of patentedtechnology outlined at a conference inAuckland last week.
Speakers from natural health sciencecompany Manuka Health New Zealand Ltdsaid the development had the potential tobe “a 10-times multiplier” in what could beearned from each kilogram of manukahoney.
A special session of the country’sannual NZBIO biotechnology showcase,heard from several speakers about manukahoney, billed as “New Zealand’s foremostbioactive” product.
Chief executive of Te Awamutu-basedManuka Health, Kerry Paul told the confer-ence his company’s next generation ofmanuka honey products would use pat-ented technology to deliver the activeingredient in forms more akin to pharma-ceutical products than jars of honey.
Branded CycloPower, the products willuse cyclodextrins, a circular compoundmade up of oligosaccharide molecules,
which has the ability to enhance solubility,stabilise, control release rate, increase bio-availability and absorption.
Manuka Health CycloPower rangewould include products such as throatlozenges. Manuka honey’s active ingredi-ent, the naturally-occurring compoundMethylglyoxal, would be encapsulatedwithin cyclodextrins as a powder.
The process eliminated the disadvan-tages of delivering the active ingredient inhoney — such as acidity, taste and odour —and opened the way to a wide range ofapplications such as eye drops, nasalsprays, topical creams and oral capsules.
“CycloPower moves us a long way froma pot of honey,” he said, “improvingbioactivity, easy of use and convenience,and with a presentation consistent withmedical applications.”
“From a commercial perspective itincreases the multiples earned perkilogram of honey by around 10 times.
“It opens up new frontiers, mid-waybetween natural health and pharmaceuti-cal products.”
Mr Paul said Manuka Health was
collaborating with internationalcyclodextrin expert, Professor Keiji Terao,of Tokyo University of Agriculture andTechnology, who will also address theNZBIO conference. Prof. Terao is a directorof the International Cyclodextrin Societyand vice-president of the JapanCyclodextrin Industrial Society.
Manuka Health research and develop-ment manager, Dr Lynne Chepulis told theconference that antibacterial studies beingcarried out by Auckland University usingreference strains of common bacteria hadfound significant differences in growth.Cyclopower showed significantly higherrates of bacterial inhibition than rawManuka honey.
Further studies are planned using dif-ferent bacteria, including those respon-sible for sore throats, stomach ulcers,pneumonia and respiratory diseases.
Dr Chepulis said CycloPower-typecompounds were already in use inpharmaceuticals and cosmetics.
“Common uses are beauty creams withencapsulated Vitamin C, and in the anginasupplement coenzyme Q10.”

SNAPPED: Te Awamutu Courier journalist DeanTaylor photographed this man on Tuesday as hewas asking a passer-by for money.
BY DEAN TAYLOR
We have received reports from members of thepublic about a man using a story about his familybeing stranded because he had no money for petrol,and begging — and on Tuesday I saw this first hand.
Reports are that he is seen talking to people on thestreets usually late afternoons, about twice a week.
The man, who is pictured above talking to apasser-by, opens by asking where the Credit Unionis.
Because we don’t have one, he goes into his storyabout no money, no petrol and children waiting inthe car ‘up the road’.
I spoke to three people who have heard the story,including two approached Tuesday afternoon as Iwatched.
Police say it isn’t illegal to beg, or to lie, but to melying to get money is just wrong.
The man’s actions are also intimidating for somepeople, and he has been seen to follow people or waitin carparks behind shops.
When I approached him about asking for moneyhe had no answer.
I told him his picture would be in the paper towarn others, and after a few minutes of beingwatched he walked, then ran, from the main street.

DRAG RACE: Te Awamutu firefighter GlenAnderson drags the hose down the 25 metretrack during his run.
As if the event itself wasn’ttough enough, firefighters takingpart in the North Island CombatChallenge had to deal with satur-day’s atrocious wet weather.
The event was hosted by TeAwamutu Fire Brigade for thefirst time, so it was a shame therain put off potential spectators —but all is not lost as it was stilldeemed a huge success by organ-isers and Te Awamutu has beenmentioned as a future host.
The event is known as the‘toughest two minutes’ in sports.
Wearing full bunker gear andbreathing apparatus, pairs of com-petitors race head-to-head as theysimulate the physical demands ofreal firefighting.
The entrants are racing them-selves, their opponent and theclock.
Each firefighter has to run ahose up six flights of stairs, lift aweight to the top by rope, hit a72kg weight with a sledge ham-mer, run around cones, run a hoseout 25 metres and drop a targetthen finish by dragging an 80kg
dummy 30 metres to the finishline.
Fastest Te Awamutu competi-tor was Dave Shaw (2m:13.47s)who finished second in the Over 40section to a winning time of2:11.56.
Ian Campbell came fifth in thesame age group (3:11.60) and CliffGibson eighth (3:37.90).
In the Open male section ShaunHigginson came fourth (2:20.25),Chris Bestwick ninth (2:41.96),Corey Neilson 10th (2:47.97) andGlen Anderson 14th (3:13.10). The
winning time was 1:52.22.In the tandem event, Shaw and
Higginson placed fourth andCampbell and Gibson placed sixth.Auckland Airport won the tan-dem.
Te Awamutu’s relay team (Neil-son, Bestwick, Anderson, AndrewBailey and Eddy Hopping) finishedsecond with a time of 2:25.06 fromRNZAF from Whenuapai (1:42.99).

Saturday night’s concert ‘With A Little HelpFrom My Friends’ — featuring Te AwamutuCollege musicians, Te Awamutu Brass and Wai-kato Youth Symphonic Band — was a treat formusic lovers, especially of Beatles music.
From Waikato band’s opening Tribute to GeorgeHarrison to the closing combined band’s SergeantPepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band Medley it was anenjoyable show.
And the three bands came together to raisemoney for the Simon Swney Memorial Trust, theorganisation established to honour the promisingyoung musician and sportsman who died almost adecade ago in a cycling training accident.
The Trust benefited by $1600, which will be usedto assist Te Awamutu College musicians by way ofinterest free loans for families who strugglefinancially and cannot afford an instrument orinstrument hire and interest free loans for promis-ing musicians to step up from a student instrumentto a quality or professional instrument.

MORE IN STORE: Te Awamutu’s national champions, Rebecca Petch, CodyHobbs and Codi Merito can’t wait to have a crack at riding the new BMX track.
Collective community effort pushes new facility closer to fruition
Te Awamutu BMX Club’s new track inPark Road is really starting to take shape —above and below ground.
It has been a long time coming — the clubfirst approached Waipa District Councilabout the project five years ago — but theend product will be well worth the wait.
The rapid progress achieved in recentweeks has been the result of outstandingefforts by club volunteers and generoussupport from local contractors and busi-nesses.
This was epitomised by Russ WaterServices, which connected up the watersupply to the track for no charge.
The volunteer support, which has seen upto 20 volunteers some nights recently, is
epitomised by Mike Smith.He says he was keen to help out as his son
races with the club. So he took a week ofannual leave to volunteer each day.
Ian Bias from North Harbour BMX, alsotook a week off work to lend his expertise tothe project.
He had worked with American expert andOlympic track builder, Tom Ritz to build theNorth Harbour track and in the ‘NorthIsland-wide community’ that is BMX, he washappy to help Te Awamutu BMX.
The local club has been provisionallyawarded the 2013 North Island BMXChamps.
In the meantime, they are targetting theRosetown Championships in November as
the new track’s first big meeting.Recent work has seen the completion of
cartage of fill required on site, constructionand consolidation (using lime) of the ama-teur section of the track and formation of thethree berms (corners, which will beasphalted when finances permit) with thepro section to follow shortly.
Any donations of materials that would beappropriate for the construction of retainingwalls (posts, rails, novaflow pipe, cement) animplement shed (second handweatherboards, a metal roller door), andlandscaping (rotten rock, blue metal, plants,grass seed) would be much appreciated bythe club.
Spokespersons Dona Hobbs and Martyn
Ebbett say there has been a great deal offundraising and support from businesses.
The club has received valued supportfrom David Peehikura, T&C Earthworks,Waipa Hire, Ian Bias, Dave Kelly, the vander Poel family, Chris Empson, AndrewFraser, Kelvin Cutforth, Ballance AgriNutrients, Honda Hamilton, Road Haulage,Callander Grounspread, Tony CookGroundspread, Rural Contractors Ltd, Wai-kato Bobcats, JDC Ltd and all those whosupported the scrap metal drive.
Another scrap metal drive is to be held inMay.

‘Goldie’ living in Kiwi garden
TC311103CA05
TE AWAMUTU resident Fern Ryan looks through the golden silk web at her Australian visitor ‘Goldie’.
BY CATHY ASPLIN
Chris and Fern Ryan werestunned to discover a golden orb-web spider (Nephila edulis) wasliving in their Awanui Avenuegarden.
Visitors have been flocking tosee female spider ‘Goldie’ whosetotal length is around 10cm.
She was initially spotted bytheir lawnmowing man, AlanHarris.
‘‘He backed into the web on hisride-on and was surprised to seethe whole web didn’t break, it wasthen he realised it was a bitdifferent and looked closer. He gotquite a shock when he spotted thestrange spider.’’
Mrs Ryan says throughresearch they found that Goldie islikely to have made her own wayto New Zealand, probably beingblown in from Queensland on
high-altitude winds.Many insects are carried
across from Australia each year,but a golden orb-web spider is apretty rare sight in New Zealandand especially unusual in themiddle of the Waikato.
Although in Australia theyhave been known to eat smallbirds trapped in their webs,Goldie appears to be surviving ona variety of small insects such aswasps, bees and flies.
Her large web was slightlydamaged by the lawnmower, butis still attached to an olive treeand a nearby fence.
To avoid further damage frombirds, the spider has left a line ofinsect husks on its web (aspictured) as a warning.
Mrs Ryan says the spider isprobably quite young.
‘‘They are known to grow to atleast double that size. The male
spiders are tiny in comparison.’’But because of the coming
colder temperatures, Goldie isunlikely to survive the winter.
They don’t normally breedhere either, but Mrs Ryan wassurprised to discover a number oftiny spiders crawling on the web,which do look like the same kindas the larger spider.
She contacted MAF whenGoldie was first discovered andwas told to send the sample in abottle or frozen if she wantedmore information.
‘‘I didn’t want do that — I justthink we’ll let nature take itscourse.
‘‘For now she’s just interestingfor people to see. She can movevery quickly when something hitsher web, so I don’t like to get tooclose.
‘ ‘Goldie the spider isfrighteningly fascinating!’’
Oparau Roadhouse still growingOparau Roadhouse owners Bill
and Brenda Rogers may havecelebrated 20 years in businesswith friends and supporters lastmonth, but they are still addingservices to what must be one ofthe most comprehensive countrystores in New Zealand.
They have added full colourphotocopying to the myriad ofother services the store on thehighway to Kawhia offers.
The celebration function lastmonth saw hundreds of people
gather to help mark the couple’sfirst two decades in the business.
It was a battle to get thebusiness going in the early days,including wrangles with plan-ners, but they have perseveredand built a thriving business.
In 2009 Oparau Roadhouse wonLotto’s Game On Award as thecountry’s top Lotto outlet.
‘‘We have a lot of good retailersaround the country, but theprincipals you have displayed andyour approach to your business
are the best in our network,’’Lotto CEO, Todd McLeay told thecouple. ‘‘There are a lot who workhard, others who look hard at howto do business better, but you dothose things as well as focus onwhat else you can do for yourcustomers,’’ he said.
Mr Rogers said the functionlast month allowed him and hiswife to show their appreciation tothe many people who had helpedand supported them over theyears.

Big snapper caught at Kawhia
TC310311SP11
WHAT A WHOPPER: Laurence Johnson with his monster snapper.
Laurence Johnson’s impress-ive 9.7kg (26lb) snapper caught atKawhia recently was proof of howclose to shore the snapper arefeeding at present.
The snapper, by far the largestthe Pirongia fisherman has evercaught, was hooked in seven
metres of water just past the boatchannel.
Mr Johnson was fishing off hisboat Blind Eel with his fatherBruce.
As well as pointing out that itwas his largest snapper, Mr John-son took the chance to remind the
Courier that he never receivedcredit in the paper for his TeAwamutu Squash Club E Gradetournament win a number ofyears ago (the result publishedcontained an incorrect name).
That wrong has finally beenrighted!
Commemorating Battle of OrakauThe commemoration of the
150th Anniversary of The Battle ofOrakau is still three years away,but a commemoration day thisSaturday will lay the groundworkfor an auspicious occasion in 2014.
‘‘This Saturday’s commemora-tion will remember, celebrate andalso pay homage to all our tupunawho fought so bravely and tothose who also sacrificed theirlives at the Battle of Orakau in1864,’’ says Te Rongonui HitiriPaerata, on behalf of OrakauEstablishment Working Group,formed after last year’s commem-oration.
‘‘One of our interim objectivesis make this an annual eventleading up to the anniversary andbeyond. Please join us inhonouring our ancestors so thattheir heroic deeds will never beforgotten.
‘‘Bring along your goodwill,volunteer your skills and assist-ance as we prepare as a people, acommunity and as a nation tocommemorate the 150th Anni-versary of the Battle of Orakau in2014.
‘‘Warm greetings are extendedto one and all.’’
Saturday’s commemorationbegins at Orakau Battle site (Kihi-kihi/Arapuni Road) at 9am,returns to Kihikihi at 11.30pm fora 12noon service at Rewi Mania-poto Reserve, kapa haka, sharedluncheon at St Andrew’s Hall(12.30pm) and 1pm meeting todiscuss redevelopment of the siteand the 150th AnniversaryCommemorations (expected fin-ish is 3pm).
The final shots of the ColonialInvasion of Waikato ended withthe historical stand of some 300
Maori men, women and childrenagainst a highly trained force of1,500 troops at Orakau.
‘‘Although outnumbered fiveto one by a force with advancedmilitary technology, the Maori atOrakau did not surrender nor wasthe pa taken by force. Thedefenders retreated off the field ofbattle under cross fire sustainingheavy casualties and crossed thePuniu River to the safe haven ofthe King Country,’’ Mr Paeratasays. ‘‘Not only did Orakau endthe Waikato Wars, it also usheredin an era of huge confiscations ofprime farming land in the Wai-kato while successive govern-ments used the Battle to severelypunish those tribes who foughtagainst the Crown and stooddefiant with Manga Rewi Mania-poto and his cadre of resistancefighters.’’

TIME FOR LOCAL BUSINESSES TO HAVE A SAY ON COUNCIL ANNUAL PLAN
MARCH 2011
Thanks to our sponsors...
It is almost April again which means it istime for us all to have our say about howCouncil plan to set priorities and levels ofrates for the coming year.Mayor Alan Livingston, CEO Gary Dyet andWDC staff outlined the draft Annual Plan toChamber members at a breakfast meetingseveral weeks ago. Points of interest included key projects, ongoing operationsand a fi nancial forecast to set the level ofrates increase for the coming year.Te Awamutu Chamber of Commerce has a number of concerns regardingimplications on both business andresidential rate increases. It is certainlyacknowledged that balancing the needsand wants of our communities is not aneasy task.However, now is the time that Te Awamutuneeds to stand up and question whetherspend is equitable throughout the districtand our ratepayers are getting a ‘gooddeal’. It’s also a case of balancing theimmediate basic infrastructure needs
versus investing in bigger assets whichmay ensure a long term economic benefi t to the region.Points of interest in our mind are items such as:• Surety of water supply to Te Awamutu
• Completion of the Heart of Te Awamutu upgrade - still areas of Alexandra Street are not paved while hundreds of thousands of dollars have been spent on a small section of Shakespeare Street in Leamington
• Installation of security surveillance cameras around the central business district and town entranceways (budgeted in the recent town upgrade but funds used elsewhere)
• The poor state of seal around the central business district
• Cambridge wastewater system and treatment
• The proposed Cambridge Swimming Complex

In briefProposed Cycling CentreA new report detailing the projected economic benefi ts of a Cycling Centre of Excellence based in Waipa is available and will be circulated to members. The report commissioned by the project group details projected income from staff, visitors and cyclists to be based in the region.Benefi t to Te Awamutu is likely to be from a strengthening of the current cycling community, increased use of local velodrome, visitors and tourists attending events and staff moving to the district. The ongoing annual economic benefi t is thought to be$11.5million.Currently one of three fi nalists, the successful winner of the bid will be announced in the next few weeks. “At the moment there’s a chance we may lose this opportunity because we’re not included in the draft annual plan,” says project trustee, Rob Waddell. “We need as many people as possible to fi ll in the submission forms so we can turn this around.”Rob believes the benefi t to Te Awamutu includes increased use of local facilities because of the numberof athletes using the centre of excellence and also a benefi t from BMX and mountain bike activity not mentioned in the report.See the full report on the Chamber website: www. teawamutuchamber.org.nz/bheard
Business confi dence remains fl atOverall business confi dence in Waipa remains fl atand refl ecting a continuing mood of caution similar to fi ndings in other Upper North Island areas, according to the latest quarterly Northern Region Chamber of Commerce. In Waipa, just 30% of businesses believe the general business situation will improve over the next six months, matching the view across other provincial centres and 35% in Auckland. The survey of about700 business respondents was undertaken in early March.“The fi ndings suggest businesses will remain cautious and focused on cutting costs and surviving what they see as a continuing tough environment than investing and positioning for growth.”

SCOTLAND BOUND: Te Awamutu’s contingent in the Waikato Sevens team to contest the Melrose Sevens, from left, JonoArmstrong, Ryan Meacheam, David Fox (manager), Cohen Masson and Mark Murray.
BY COLIN THORSEN
Te Awamutu Sports will be repre-sented by four players in the WaikatoSevens team at the world’s oldest sevenstournament in Scotland next month.
Jono Armstrong, Cohen Masson, RyanMeacheam and Mark Murray, along withassistant coach David Fox of Te Awamutu,fly out with their Waikato team-mates onSunday to contest the 128th MelroseSevens.
They will be hosted by local families formost of the trip and be involved in someschool visits where they will run coachingworkshops with the students.
The team has raised $38,000 needed tomake the trip — the brainchild of DavidFox who played for Melrose — throughvarious fundraising ventures includingtwo golf tournaments, a fashion show andwood chopping.
Only five of the successful 2010 nationalchampion squad are taking part with TimMikkelson, Frank Halai, DeclanO’Donnell and Rory Grice all having NewZealand Sevens commitments.
Armstrong and Meacheam were mem-bers of the champion Waikato team of2010, managed by Fox.
Waikato will play alongside other over-seas teams including defending cham-
pions Hamilton from Cape Town, SouthAfrica, and newcomers Hong Kong Scot-tish (Hong Kong).
Over 20 Scottish clubs are taking partincluding first time participants FalkirkRFC.
The Hong Kong Scottish team includesplayers of Scottish heritage and localChinese development players. Among thesquad is ex-Scotland Sevens internationalDavid Tait, with the side coached by JoeShaw, the former England Sevens player.
The draw for both the Melrose Sevensand the Davidson Chalmers MelroseSevens Veterans Tournament will takeplace at Melrose RFC on Saturday, April 2.
Mountain Menaway to flyerin Waikatodivision one
Pirongia opened their Waikato first divisionrugby campaign with a convincing 28-7 victoryover Kereone at Campbell Park Morrinsville onSaturday.
In conditions more akin to June than March,Pirongia stuck to a game plan based on oldfashioned virtues — solid defence around thefringes, playing to the corners and support of theball carrier — without any of the flash dash oftenseen in the modern game.
The defence led to a number of turnoversallowing Pirongia to keep Kereone under pressurethroughout the match.
A try to Ryan Bardsley from a forward drive,converted by Paul Taylor opened the scoring.
Kereone replied with a converted try of theirown to tie up the scores, 7-7, at halftime.
Pirongia took control in the second half withtwo early penalty goals to Taylor.
Another strong forward drive resulted in a tryto player of the day, openside flanker CallumEvens, opening up a 20-7 lead.
A strong scrum laid a solid foundation for firstfive Taylor to dictate play and to attack thecorners, making it difficult for Kereone to breakout from their own 22. He laid on the third try witha neat reverse pass putting his second five-eighthover.
The scoring was completed by a Taylor penaltygiving him a personal haul of 12 points for thematch.
Manager Layne Kerr was rapt with the perform-ance of all 15 Pirongia players, from the veterans(in 1 and 15), Brian Johnson and Ross Denise, to theoutstanding youngster Ryan Vickers at halfback.
Kerr commented that while the scrums werestrong, lineouts will require some work in thecoming weeks.
Pirongia B’s had a tougher day, going down 60-0to Kereone B’s.
Pirongia take on Putaruru in their first homegame at 2.40pm this Saturday.

nighter’ isn’t one that New Zea-landers instantly associate withdeeply religious ceremony,although ceremonies of anothersort may be acted out.
In countries and cultures out-side our young landscape, thenight long ceremonial singing ofvespers is a long held tradition,not the least in Russia where thedeep reverence for religion has
managed to survive significantchallenges to its very existence.
