Pukekohe takes pole
By MITCH HYDE
Pukekohe Park Raceway has
emerged as a front runner to hold
the New Zealand round of the V8
Supercars from 2013.
Prime Minister John Key made
comments during a radio interview on Friday that the Government would sink $1 million into
Pukekohe Park Raceway to get
the contract.
A spokesperson for Mr Key told
the Franklin County News that
discussions had been ongoing
between the Government, the
organisers and the major events
team at the Ministry of Economic
Development over the future of
the New Zealand leg of the V8
Supercars at Pukekohe.
‘‘I understand the organisers
are putting in an application to
the Major Events Development
Fund,’’ said John Key’s press secretary. ‘‘The application will then
be considered in due course.’’
Yesterday New Zealand events
manager for V8 Supercars Greg
Mosen said that Pukekohe Park
Raceway was a top pick for the
New Zealand leg once it left Hamilton this year.
He said organisers were looking
very seriously into the Pukekohe
track as one of four options available, with Pukekohe being in the
top two.
‘‘I guess it’s in a group of two
finalists, it’s one of the front
runners,’’ Mosen said.
An Auckland street race was
also on the cards and considered
as the other front-runner.
He also stated that Hampton
➤ YOUR THOUGHTS
What do you think?
We have already put the
question out there on our
Facebook page as to what
should happen with the V8
Supercars in New Zealand.
Responses have varied from: ‘‘I
think it would be great for
Pukekohe. Let’s face it, the V8s
put our town on the map . . . I
hope it does come back,’’ to:
‘‘Hampton Downs track is
awesome, finish the extension
and it will be the best in the
country. Pukekohe is only good
for horses.’’
So should V8 Supercars come
back to Pukekohe or go to
Hampton Downs?

Downs was on the list but it was
highly unlikely that they would be
awarded the contract in future
years.
Although Pukekohe Park has
hosted the race in the past, work
would still need to be done to get
the track up to the current stan-
dard needed for the contract and
Mr Mosen said it was worth doing.
‘‘Nothing can’t be fixed, it’s just
whether it’s the right decision to
make, whether people want us
there,’’ Mr Mosen said. He said
the track was not up to scratch for
the racing conditions and sat one
stage below the required standard. ‘‘We have to find the right
place that can hold the race for a
long period of time and it will be
critical to make the right
decision,’’ Mr Mosen said.
‘‘We are pushing hard to keep a
round in New Zealand.’’
Mr Mosen said that discussions
were well under way with organisers of all parties but that their
first focus was on getting the
Hamilton 400 race out of the way.
They were expecting to have a
final answer of the future of the
V8 Supercars New Zealand round
in April.
General manager of Counties
Racing Club, owners of Pukekohe
Park, Greg Mitchell preferred not
to comment at this stage.
Supercars snub baffles Hampton Downs boss
By MITCH HYDE
The owners of Hampton Downs
Motorsport Park are baffled with
V8 Supercars organisers’ lack of
interest in holding the New Zealand round of the V8 Supercars at
the park.
On the back of hosting 20,000
people for the opening round of
the V8 SuperTourers on Sunday,
Hampton Downs owner Tony Roberts said the V8 Supercars organisers knew that Hampton Downs
was here and it was up to them
where they wanted to go but the
track was ready and waiting.
V8 Supercars chairman Tony
Cochrane has had issues with the
Hampton Downs track dating
back to previous years and has
said the track was too short.
But Mr Roberts disagreed saying that if they were looking at
Pukekohe Park Raceway as a
viable option then Hampton
Downs should be too.
‘‘We are a purpose-built track
with big wide corners and rises
and falls, and the drivers love the
place,’’ Mr Roberts said.
The Pukekohe track is 2.8
kilometres, compared with Hampton Downs’ 2.7km, and there are
plans to extend the Hampton
Downs track to 3.8km.
‘‘If we had the contract with the
V8 Supercars for seven years then
we would build that extension,’’
said Mr Roberts.
Another issue identified by V8
Supercars organisers was the fact
that Hampton Downs’ resource
consent for crowd numbers did not
meet their requirements.
But again this was something
that Mr Roberts said would be
easily fixed if the contract was to
go their way.
‘‘We have resource consent for
20,000 people but if you can get
50,000 to Supercars on a day then
we could do that,’’ Mr Roberts
said.
‘‘It’s only a matter of getting
special consent that shows you
can handle it.’’
According to Mr Roberts it
would simply require organisers
to have offsite parking nearby and
carry people to Hampton Downs
by bus.
Hampton Downs’ location near
Meremere has also been seen as a
setback.
But when it came to financials,
Mr Roberts believed his track was
the best option.
‘‘They [organisers] have already
lost money in Hamilton and Pukekohe would cost more than us,’’
Roberts said.
‘‘We can do the job here,
especially with 18 months to get it
sorted.’’

Trevor’s time out
The $26.5 million Lotto Powerball
winner who vowed to keep working didn’t show up for his 5am
shift on Tuesday – and plans to
take the week off.
The 34-year-old man from Te
Kauwhata, only known as Trevor,
works as a Countdown checkout
operator in Huntly.
The Countdown manager yesterday morning said he didn’t
make it to work and she had ‘‘no
idea’’ why. He had not quit his
job.
Trevor, who went public on
Monday, had said nothing was
going to change following his big
win.
‘‘At the end of the day, my bank
balance is a phone number but I
love my job. I’m going to keep
working in the meantime. But I
said to my mum, ‘You never have
to work again’.’’
A NZ Lotteries spokeswoman
said
Trevor
was
just
overwhelmed after having a ‘‘big
day’’ on Monday.
‘‘Everything has been a little
chaotic. He is going to take a
break off work at the moment.’’
But Trevor had no plans to quit
his job any time soon, she said.
‘‘He just needs to be left alone
for a bit.’’
On Monday night, he told John
Campbell he could bet his
winnings he would be at work.
‘‘Mate, I could bet you $26.5
million I’ll be at that checkout.
The company I work for is just
one big family, we all look after
each other. I couldn’t ask for a
better place to work.’’
Trevor realised he had won
when his flatmate urged him to
check his ticket on Sunday morning.
‘‘When I saw they all lined up,
I started to squeal like a girl a
little bit. My legs were giving way
on me, I collapsed to the ground
in hysterics.’’
Trevor quickly shared the news
with his parents in Auckland.
His mother was having trouble
believing he’d won. ‘‘I said I’ll
come and show you if you lend me
$50 for petrol,’’ he told her.
He flew to Wellington with his
parents to claim his prize on
Monday but there was no dinner
at a fancy restaurant as he had to
get home on time for work.
Until now, he had lived ‘‘week
to week, like 90 per cent of
people. If something comes along

WINNING SMILE: Trevor, a 34-year-old from Te Kauwhata, has claimed the third largest Lotto prize .
On a winning streak
By SAMANTHA McPHERSON
Lotto ticket sales at Te
Kauwhata’s lucky Four Square
have jumped after it sold the
weekend’s winning $26.5
million Lotto Powerball prize.
Store owners Jesal and
Ramila Patel couldn’t be
happier for their community as
they say the win has put their
town on the map.
‘‘It’s so exciting for our small
community and everyone is so
happy,’’ Ramila said.
The couple have run the
business with their three
children for the past 17 years,
and said the support given by
the local community during
that time had been
‘‘overwhelming’’.
It’s been a lucky year so far
for the Four Square. In
January it sold a $250,000
ticket and in March a $10,000
prize was won from a $5
scratchie.

‘‘My family has always been
there for me. My mum, my dad,
my sister, my brother-in-law, my
niece, my nephew. Now it’s time
to repay them for the times they
have been there for me.’’
Born and raised in West Auckland, Trevor was a truck driver
before an injury saw him move
into supermarkets, where he is a
trainee manager.
He plans to take a holiday to
clear his head, and hinted some
new cars might join the 1989
Chevy Blazer and a 1989
Silverado already in his garage.
He is already being described
as New Zealand’s most eligible
bachelor, a title he found
‘‘intimidating’’. He was in no
hurry to meet someone. ‘‘I want to
find someone for the right
reasons. I’m the same person I
was yesterday and the day before
that.’’
He intends to keep buying his

Classic cars
ready to hop
LADY IN RED: Turangi
woman Bronwyn Upfold, with
her 1971 Mustang, was
among the hundreds of
classic car enthusiasts to
attend Go Waihi’s Warm Up
Party for Beach Hop in Waihi
on Wednesday.
Spectators were treated to
rock and roll music, the
always-popular drag races,
which involved men dressed
as women, and plenty of
viewing pleasure with
hundreds of vintage vehicles
parked up on display. There
was even a flash mob dance
which took the crowd
completely by surprise.
The sun shone throughout
the event and the masses of
people seemed to thoroughly
enjoy themselves in a
relaxed atmosphere with
quite a few wearing outfits
from the 1950s.
The annual Beach Hop is on
in Whangamata this
weekend, with the popular
parade down the main street
tomorrow morning.

Apathy kills association
By DOROTHY PREECE
The Whitianga Residents and
Ratepayers’ Association has gone
into recess.
The annual meeting on February 20 failed to achieve a quorum
of 10 people. At the re-scheduled
meeting on Monday, 10 people did
attend and those present agreed
to put the association into recess.
Association chairman Duncan
Farmer said the Companies Office
would be advised and the names
of the current officers would
remain on the books until there
was a resurgence of interest.
Secretary David Hall said the
association had achieved several
positive outcomes, the latest being
strong support for the new
Whitianga sports park, which
helped to get the project off the
ground.
‘‘I shall be happy to remain as
secretary when the time comes to
revive the association because I
believe it has a role to fulfil in the
community,’’ Mr Hall said.
Former office bearers Betty and
Alan Thomas recorded their votes
‘‘with regret’’.
Mr and Mrs Thomas have been
members of the association since
the 1970s and over the years have
served several terms as president
and treasurer.
‘‘When we first arrived, the
Ratepayers’ Group, as it was then,
had gone into recess and we
helped revive it,’’ Mr Thomas said.
‘‘Not long after that, the big issue
FACTORY PAK® HOMES
that grabbed public interest
was the opposition to council
borrowing. They were putting the
first sewerage system in the town.
‘‘There was another period
when the association went into
recess but it came back,’’ Mrs
Thomas said.
‘‘It’s always been hard to keep
people motivated in Whitianga. I
think it’s a great pity that people
are so complacent.’’
She said ratepayers’ associations should be the vehicle for
people to make themselves heard
in the council.
‘‘When there are issues to be
aired, the association makes submission on behalf of the members,
and at all other times it should
keep a watching brief on the
Ready for delivery NOW

‘
It’s always been hard to keep
people motivated in Whitianga.
I think it’s a great pity that
people are so complacent.
– Betty Thomas
’
council’s agendas and keep people
informed. It is the eyes and ears of
the public.’’
Mr Thomas said many retired
people did not want to get
involved. ‘‘They’ve done their bit
for the community and they want
a quiet life but council policies
affect everyone, especially families. It would be nice to see a
younger group picking up the
cudgels.’’
CONCERNED: Alan and Betty Thomas
have been members of the Whitianga
Residents and Ratepayers’
Association since the 1970s and are
sad to see it go into recess.

Cycling odyssey saluted
Penny Farthing
tour nears end
By GEOFF LEWIS
HAMILTON is a long way from Stewart Island
when you depend on a mode of transport which
saw its heyday in the later part of the 19th
century.
David Wilson, doyen of the Oamaru Cycle
Works and captain of the Oamaru Ordinary
Cycle Club, received an enthusiastic welcome
from his Hamilton supporters and plenty of public attention at Hamilton Gardens following his
arrival from Cambridge last week.
Mr Wilson is entering the final weeks of his
journey from Stewart Island to Cape Reinga by
Penny Farthing which began on November 13
and celebrates the achievement of Wheelman J
Fitton who rode his Penny Farthing from Auckland to Wellington in 1884 and more recently
English cyclist Joff Summerfield who rode from
Invercargill to Auckland in 2007 as part of his
around the world tour.
Penny Farthings are so-called because the
great size difference between the front and rear
wheels of the machine resembles the comparative difference between the now obsolete penny
coin and its one-quarter value associate, the farthing.
The machines are also known as Ordinary
Cycles in comparison with the later developed
Safety Bicycles, of the chain-driven and two
equal-sized wheel configuration which is almost
universal today.
Mr Wilson has been a keen rider of penny
farthings since 1992. To help bring industry to
the Otago port settlement, he builds about halfa-dozen penny farthings at the Oamaru Cycle
Works which are exported to enthusiasts around
the world.
The cycles are precarious things to ride and
have no brakes, so keeping them under control
down hills is essential.
Among those who welcomed Mr Wilson to
Hamilton last week was Jeff Bones, a Hamilton
engineer and fellow hobby-builder of penny farthings. Mr Bones owns one original 1878 model
and has built three full-sized cycles, along with
several child-sized ones.
He often takes them to school gala days.
Mr Bones plans to take part in the Rev Cycle
race from Cambridge on February 18.
Delayed by inclement weather, Mr Wilson had
taken about 12 days to ride from Wellington to
Hamilton and was looking forward to the final
country roads, twists and turns of his more than
2000km journey in Northland.

Plunket Party in the Park
Face painting, Playdough, Ruben
the Road Safety Bear and bouncy
castles all made for the perfect
kids’s party at Te Aroha’s Howie
Park.
About 150 children from early
childhood education centres in Te
Aroha gathered recently to celebrate national Children’s Day.
The day is held annually to
show recognition and appreciation
for children and for the second
year Te Aroha Plunket threw a
‘Party in the Park’ to celebrate.
Event co-ordinator Lou Beer
said this year’s event was a great
success and they had an excellent
turnout.
‘‘I would love this to become an
anticipated annual event as it was
a fantastic day and was definitely
a celebration of our children – just
great to see so many children
enjoying all the activities that are
available in Te Aroha at the
groups and learning about safety
at the same time,’’ Mrs Beer said.
Early childhood centres each
held different activities, including
story telling, face painting, hat
making and water play during the
day.
Te Aroha Plunket provided
information on carseat and driveway safety.
K9 Sense (dog safety) from
Hamilton were also there to teach
children how to safely approach
and handle animals.

Advisory role not enough for Maori committee
By STEVE EDWARDS
An iwi sub-committee of the district council wants more political
clout.
Te Manawhenua Forum member Nathan Kennedy (Ngati
Whanaunga) said while the Heads
of Agreement with the council was
an innovative document when it
was drafted about 2004, in the
interim there has been lots of developments around the country.
‘‘Now, it is quite outdated,’’ Mr
Kennedy told a recent council corporate and operations committee
meeting.
He was frustrated that a review
had twice been vetoed by the
council. ‘‘There are deficiencies.
The forum is entirely advisory to
council.’’
Other forums have delegation to
councils in areas of operation, said
Mr Kennedy. These include
resource consents, plan changes
and community outcomes.

Maori do not stand for council. Mr
Kennedy said there could be an
issue with Maori unlikely to get
more than one representative on
the council for all iwi in the district.
The creation of a Maori Statutory Board in Auckland, which
has greater powers than a forum,
‘‘changed the playing field’’, said
Mr Kennedy. The council committee received the information,
with the matter due to be discussed at today’s full council
meeting. Waikato Regional Council plans to establish two Maori
seats for next year’s election,
while Waikato District Council is
conducting a poll on Maori wards.
Councils are legally required to
review their political representation every six years, looking at
structure, boundary areas, population and whether they propose
to introduce Maori seats.
Matamata-Piako Mayor Hugh
Vercoe said a questionnaire will
go out to the public this year, with
a draft proposal then developed.
Following full public consultation,
the council will adopt its proposal
which can be challenged to the
Local Government Commission by
any party. The commission
investigates and makes a binding
ruling. Any changes would ne
introduced for the 2016 election.
Mr Vercoe said MatamataPiako District Council’s position
in the past (after consultation)
has been not to include any Maori
seats.

St Peter’s rowers rock
By JEREMY SMITH
In a dominant performance at the
weekend’s 2012 Aon North Island
Secondary Schools Championships at Lake Karapiro, St Peter’s
School rowing crews sent waves
across the bow of their competition, solidifying the school’s
place as a force to be reckoned
with ahead of this year’s Maadi
Cup.
Not only did St Peter’s pick up
17 medals – seven gold, five
silvers and five bronze – but the
school also won the Derbyshire
Shield after being named the top
school overall based on competition points.
St Peter’s won the event with 55
points, Waikato Diocesan School
was runner up on 39 points and
Tauranga Boys College was third
on 24 points.
The St Peter’s gold medals went
to the under-18 girls four, the U18
boys quad, the U18 novice girls
four, the U18 girls double, the
U18 boys double, the U18 girls
novice double and the U17 girls
eight.
The silver medals went to the
U18 girls pair, the U18 boys
single sculls, the U16 boys double,
the U15 girls quad and the U15
girls double. The bronze medals
were won in the U18 novice girls
eight, the U17 girls quad, the U17
boys quad, the U15 boys quad and
the U15 boys double.
Overall, St Peter’s made 28 A
finals, nine B finals and four C
finals.
St Peter’s School rowing
convenor Megan Vaughan said
she always knew the squad had it
in them to achieve great results
but they had ‘‘really stepped up’’
at the event.
‘‘We’ve worked really hard as a
whole squad, with a strong focus
on the eights and the fours.’’
While the North Island results
had been good, she said the squad
knew the lead up to the Maadi
Cup would be ‘‘make or break’’.
‘‘While our North Island results
are better than we could have
hoped for, we are going to make
sure we don’t take anything for
granted and we go into Maadi
with clear minds.’’
Cambridge High School won a
bronze medal at the championships through U17 single sculler
Jaime MacFie and had three other
crews finish just outside the
medals in A finals.

Cambridge man’s tale a winner in Tinseltown
By VIV POSSELT
Unlikely as it might seem, Cambridge has its own connection to
last month’s Academy Awards ceremony in Los Angeles.
A story inspired by the reunion
of two boyhood pals – one of them
Cambridge’s Peter Lawlor – is at
the heart of the film The Shore, a
30-minute tale that captured the
2012 Academy Award for the Best
Live Action Short Film.
In a curious tumbling of fact
and a touch of blarney, The Shore
tells the story of two Irish school
friends who reunite after a
25-year silence born out of a
youthful misunderstanding.
Their meeting on a County
Down beach is infused with hapless misinterpretation, flavoured
more than a little with the
peculiarities of the Irish psyche.
Fifteen years ago, on one of his
holidays ‘‘home’’ to Ireland, Peter
Lawlor and his daughter Sinead
Kennedy arrived in the small village of Killough to look up some of
Peter’s old friends.
First on his list was Anthony
George and, with that in mind, he
went to Anthony’s home, to be told
by his wife that he was out on the
beach picking mussels with a
group of pals. She assured him
Anthony would be easy to spot as
he was the one with the black dog.
‘‘We went off, and saw them in
the distance. But the black dog
was running around all of them,
and wouldn’t settle with one – I
couldn’t tell which one he was,’’
Peter said. ‘‘So as to see them bet-
ter, I got out my video camera and
looked through the viewfinder.’’
There was an instant reaction.
Anthony told his companions
there was someone on the beach
taking a video. They all immediately assumed Peter was the
dreaded ‘‘dole inspector’’ and most
of them disappeared in a flash.

Friends: From left, Sam Vowels,
Alyssa Horning, Brittany Bishop
and Katie Jenkins made the most
of Children’s Day last Sunday by
spending time together and taking
part in the festivities at Matamata
Christian School. Bouncy castles,
candy floss, dancing and top team
events were just some of the many
highlights of the day. A photo
competition was held on the day
for any 5- to 12-year-olds to enter.
All they needed to do was take a
snap representing Children’s Day
and they were in to win a camera.
The winner of the year 1 to 4
category was Rochelle Lind.
Tayla-Rose Hayward was picked
as the winner of the year 5 to 8
category. Judge Katrina Maguire
from Pictiur Perfect said it was a
really tough decision and there
was a lot of talent out there. Highly
commended certificates will be
presented to other participants.

Best is ready for the rest
By LIBBY KISSICK
Everything is falling into place for
recent Waikato regional farm
manager winner Thomas White.
At just 23, the Putaruru local is
stoked to have landed a spot in
the New Zealand Dairy Industry
Awards farm manager finals but
admits the challenge was why he
entered.
‘‘The fact I won was good and I
am going to put my best foot forward for the Waikato but I didn’t
enter it to win it [Waikato regionals],’’ Mr White said.
‘‘It was a good opportunity to
benchmark myself against others,
mix with the other good guys
entering the competition, to network and get feedback from the
judges about your strengths and
weaknesses.’’
This is the first year the manager of his family partnership’s’
112ha Whites Rd property has
entered the competition and he
rates the support of the rural community, family and past NZ Dairy
winners highly for getting him to
the nationals.
‘‘My neighbour and sort of mentor told me to enter and I thought
I’d give it a crack,’’ he said.
‘‘There is a lot of help in the
industry, guys are willing to help.’’
According to the fourth generation agriculturalist, you tend to
work with the same people and
can develop ‘‘tunnel vision’’, so he

found the competition gave him a
chance to stand back and take an
outside look at how he was farming.
With farming in the blood, on
finishing his sixth form studies
Mr White took a two-year cadetship at the Central Hawkes Bay
sheep, beef and deer training
farm, Smedley Station, before
completing a Diploma in Agriculture at Palmerston North Massey
University.
Forever following opportunity,
he then worked with a 600-cow
unit for six months in the South
Island before returning to the
family farm as herd manager.
The ultimate goal of farm ownership is nearing reality, because
Mr White has bought his first
herd in preparation for next
spring, when he will become
sharemilker of the family’s newly
purchased 85ha Dukeson Rd
farm.
Mr White plans to continue to
enjoy the journey of farming with
his new fiancee and childhood
friend Richelle Van Veen.
Mr White hosted a Farm Open
Day this week to discuss his
chosen practices for pasture, soil
and other aspects of farm management.
He and the other regional
winners are heading to Auckland
this coming May for the National
Awards at the Sky City Convention Centre.
Williams’ swift return to top form
GOING WILD: Williams is interviewed by The
Crowd Goes Wild reporter James McOnie.
Tokoroa golden girl Monique Williams
excels at games.
Williams made it a 100m-200m double
with her second close finish in three days to
win the 200m final in 24.50s running into a
fierce head wind, just holding off her
Waikato-Bay of Plenty team-mate Kristie
Baillie, who is also coached by Williams’
Tokoroa-based father, Chris.
Williams has been plagued by injuries
since coming 12th in the 200m at the 2009
world championships where she became the
first Kiwi woman to break 23 seconds for
the distance. Most recently she has had leg
problems, specifically a plantar fascia problem in her foot rather than a return of her
previous achilles tendon strain.
Williams, who must run 23 sec again to
qualify for London, has been back on a daily
training schedule for only a week and was
concerned about her lack of speed endurance going into the 200.
‘‘I knew Kristie was in good form,
especially with her win in the 400 yesterday, and to hold her off was a very good
start to my season. With minus two or three
wind, or whatever it was, that’s not a bad
time actually and on one full week’s training I’ve got to be confident [about qualifying],’’ Williams said.
She now heads to the New South Wales
championships in Sydney this weekend, followed by the Australian nationals a fortnight later, then back to Britain for the
European season and a crack at the 200m
qualifying time.
‘‘I always was confident I could do it . . .
just a matter of cementing it in my mind
. . . it’s a good sign.’’

Lucky pair return
www.taupotimes.co.nz
By SARAH BOL
A GROUP of Taupo school children
accompanied a pair of climbers as
they revisited the place where they
nearly lost their lives five years
ago.
William Pike and fellow survivor
James Christie climbed to the Mt
Ruapehu crater lake on Saturday
with students from Hilltop School
to revisit the hut the pair were
sleeping in when a ‘‘blue sky eruption’’ showered them with rock,
rubble and water, trapping Mr
Pike.
Mr Pike, who lost his leg in the
accident, said the visit brought
back strong memories.
‘‘I think big events in your life
seem like not long ago,’’ Mr Pike
said. ‘‘And this doesn’t seem like
very long ago at all.
‘‘This is very, very vivid and it’s
very real. I can remember sitting
there looking out the window and
thinking ‘this is over’. This brings
back some very powerful memories, that’s for sure.’’
The climbers were with a group
of school students completing part
of their William Pike Challenge
Award, an activity-based programme
which
encourages
students to get outdoors and make
the most of their natural landscape.
Dubbed ‘‘Pike-lets’’, the year 7
and 8 pupils complete a variety of
challenges throughout the year.
Taupo’s Hilltop School was the
first school to offer the award in
2009 but four schools now take
part.
‘‘The idea is for the kids to take
part in different experiences,’’ Hilltop school principal Karl Bishop
said.
‘‘It aims to build confidence and
give them a sense of achievement.
There is no better catalyst for a
self-confidence boost than outdoor
pursuits,’’ he said.
In September 2007, Mr Pike and
Mr Christie were sleeping in Dome
Hut near the edge of the crater
lake when they were woken by the
eruption.
Mr Pike was pinned by boulders,
leaving Mr Christie to run to alert
emergency services.
Mr Pike’s right leg was later
amputated.
The pair took a moment to
reflect on those events during their
weekend visit, before retelling the
story to a television crew and the

Long-awaited raceway now open
By SIMON EARLE
New Zealand’s first internationalstandard
kartsport
raceway
opened in Mamaku on Saturday.
Groundwork on the $3 million
facility began in 2005 and the
opening ended eight years of planning by the Rotorua Kartsport
Development Trust.
‘‘For a small group of people this
is the fulfillment of a dream,’’ trust
chairman Fraser McKenzie said.
The trust leases the facility to
tourism business Off Road New
Zealand ensuring a revenue
stream to meet maintenance costs
but has guaranteed use for a set
number of days annually when it
will be used by Rotorua karters
and for major competition events.
Before work began the 1.2km
course plans were submitted to the
Federation Internationale de
l’Automobile which certified them
Fast action: Karters vie for position during an event on Saturday’s programme.
to international standard.
Mr McKenzie said it was
expected that national and international events would be held at
the venue. Though the course was
now operating, Mr McKenzie said
an extension and pit area sealing,
and a club room overlooking the
track would be needed before
applying to stage international
events.
Representatives of the Rotorua Energy Charitable Trust,
which provided $1.2m, and
other sponsors were present for
the opening.
Mayor Kevin Winters said he
was excited by the facility’s
potential. ‘‘I came here on a site
visit 10 years ago and thought it
was an adventurous programme
to create a venue here but what
has been created is a gem of a
facility,’’ Mr Winters said.
The raceway was opened by
Rotorua MP Todd McClay who
finished fifth.
The raceway has already been
used by a number of tourists
including a group of Russians
who flew in by helicopter from
Treetops Lodge last week.

It will be the first time the

Callouts cause disquiet
By PHIL CAMPBELL
A
catalogue
of
callouts
underscores Exeter Pl and wider
community concerns since Challenge Trust opened its operation
in August last year.
Information obtained under the
Official Information Act by Tihi o
Tonga people reveals deep-seated
problems, appearing to at least
justify overtures to the Rotorua
District Council about the more
at-risk aspects of placing mental
health patients at 18 Exeter Pl.
It also suggests a rotating police
presence, responding to 18 Exeter
Pl neighbours or Challenge Trust
staff requests.
People’s concerns were expected
to be raised at last night’s ordinary meeting of the Rotorua District Council (too late for this
week’s Review deadline).
A group of residents was
expected to attend a full council
meeting at which the matter was
to be discussed.
Headed by Sue Bedford, whose
home is adjacent to 18 Exeter Pl,
residents are concerned that those
placed at 18 Exeter Pl, operated
by Challenge Trust which owns
the home, exceed original criteria.
Based on information from

was cancelled because the risk to
public safety was too great for it to
go ahead.
He was bitterly disappointed
that his ‘‘dream race’’ had been
called off and said the organisers
had lost thousands of dollars and
the cancellation would be a ‘‘huge
loss for the town’’.
Thirty competitors planned to
travel to Ohakune for the race,
which ran last year for the first
time. The race was to start at the
Ohakune township before ascending the Turoa Ski Area access
road. It incorporated 113 corners
and cars would climb 1000m in 17
kilometres.
Mr Wilson said the iwi had
suggested two alternative routes
but the organisers ‘‘weren’t
interested in looking at anything
else’’.
‘‘For some reason we were
willing to compromise but there
was no compromise from the committee,’’ he said.
Mr Wilson said the iwi also
opposed the race last year.
Ruapehu District Council had
approved the closure of the moun-
tain road, from 8am to 5pm on
Saturday but decided on Friday to
keep the road open once the event
was cancelled.
Mr Hodder said he couldn’t
understand why it was an issue
for 30 cars to do two trips up the
mountain when some days during
the peak ski season up to 5000
vehicles used the road. ‘‘It just
doesn’t add up,’’ he said.
But Mr Wilson said that
because it was a race it added to
the risk. ‘‘Also, a rally on a mountain road will encourage people to
hoon up the mountain and that’s
the last thing we want.
‘‘This is our national park and
an international icon.’’
Ruapehu mayor Sue Morris
said she had been ‘‘quite nervous’’
about the event when organisers
approached the council.
However, the council did
approve the road closure and had
agreed last Tuesday that the
event could go ahead but would
have to find a different route next
year.

Biogas for meatworks
By STEVE EDWARDS
W
allace Corporation is
looking to help power its
Waitoa operation from
its own waste products.
As part of a $3 million
wastewater system upgrade, a
new treatment pond will be
covered with a rubber-like
membrane that enables the cattle
processor to capture methane gas
generated by its anaerobic
treatment process.
‘‘Eventually we will use this biogas as an energy source within the
business,’’ said chief executive
Graham Shortland.
This will help with security of
the company’s gas supply, he said.
All boilers at the Wood Rd plant
are currently gas-fired.
Physical work on the
wastewater system began before
Christmas following months of
planning and preparation.
‘‘We want to capture as much of
the summer period as possible,’’
said Mr Shortland.
The project includes the
construction of a large anaerobic
pond in the paddock to the south
of the existing composting area.
‘‘Two ponds now become one,’’
said Mr Shortland. Existing ponds
FUTURE-PROOFING: Graham Shortland, left, and Aaron Findson in front of the new wastewater pond site.
on the site are about 20 years old.
‘‘This is about future-proofing
the business in terms of capacity
and control.’’
Construction of the new pond,
pipelines and other related work
is programmed for completion at
the end of April.
Aaron Findson, head of
environmental and resource
management at Wallace
Corporation, said following
completion of construction there
will be a three-month
commissioning phase.
‘‘In due course we will
decommission our existing
anaerobic ponds, one of which
especially has a very high level of
bio-solids after all its years of
operation.’’
The system will service the
company’s tanning and rendering
operations, while also including
material from the site’s Silver
Fern Farms meat processing
plant. In total the system will
handle about 1200 cubic litres of
material a day.
To comply with Waikato
Regional Council resource consent
conditions, the wastewater goes
through a series of anaerobic and
aerobic processes which ‘polishes’
and treats the product, which is
either irrigated on to company
property or discharged into a
nearby stream.
The new pond measures 120m
by 80m and is 4.5m deep. Mr
Findson said about 25,000 cubic
metres of loose fill will be removed
during construction.
Mr Findson said the project
involves a team of six.
The component involving biogas, which could be up and
running at Wallace Corporation
by the end of the year, is receiving
assistance from Niwa (National
Institute of Water and
Atmospheric Research).
‘‘We are producing it by
default,’’ said Mr Findson.
‘‘It makes economic and
environmental sense.’’
Farmer offers co-operative control assurance
By IRIS RIDDELL
A
Fonterra shareholders’
councillor and Tahuna
dairy farmer maintains
there is nothing to worry about
regarding the Trading Among
Farmers proposal.
Stephen Silcock, who has been
on the shareholders’ council for
Morrinsville since its formation 10
years ago, said the proposal would
ensure control stayed with the
farmers who produced the milk.
‘‘With the co-operative model,
it’s not the number of shares you
hold at all. It’s the amount of milk
solids you produce which dictates
how many votes you have, so it’s
only farmers that produce milk
that have control of the cooperative, its constitution and
electing boards of directors.
‘‘I don’t see any risk with the
current proposal and I don’t talk
to many farmers around
Morrinsville who see it that way
either.
‘‘Most are comfortable and
relaxed about it and have already
endorsed it,’’ said Mr Silcock.
The proposal has generated
some controversy and mixed
reports in the media and a
meeting to familiarise
Morrinsville farmers with the
current situation will be held at
the end of the month at Kereone.
‘‘It’s important that farmers can
satisfy themselves and take
comfort that there is no risk of
them losing control of the cooperative under the proposal.’’
He said trading proposal had
three main roles: ‘‘To protect the
co-operative by giving it
permanent capital, which means
there’s no risk of a big outflow of
capital when farmers cash up
their shares in drought years; the
second is that once implemented
it will give farmers more choice
with how they interact with the
co-operative around the capital
they put in; and finally, it gives a
more stable base as a co-operative
to invest for the future.’’
The Morrinsville meeting is on
January 31 at 1:30pm at the
Kereone Rotary Club.

1. In accepting an advertisement (including a notice) for publication, and in publishing it we are doing
so in consideration of and relying on the advertiser’s express warranty, the truth of which is essential:
(a) That the advertisement does not contain
anything: that is misleading or deceptive or likely to mislead or deceive or which
otherwise breaches the Fair Trading Act 1986
that is defamatory or indecent or which
otherwise offends against generally accepted
community standards that infringes a copyright
or trademark or otherwise infringes any
intellectual or industrial property rights that
breaches any provision of any statute,
regulation, by-law or other rule or law; and
(b)That the advertisement complies in every way
with the Advertising Codes of Practice issued by
the Advertising Standards Authority Inc. (“ASA”)
and with every other code or industry standard
relating to advertising in New Zealand; and
(c) Publication of the advertisement will not give
rise to any liability on our part or in a claim
being made against us.
2. The advertiser agrees to indemnify us against all
losses or costs arising directly or indirectly from any
breach of those warranties by the advertiser and
from any costs incurred in our making corrections
or amendments in accordance with the terms that follow.
3. By supplying or placing an advertisement for
publication the advertiser grants us a perpetual,
royalty free license to reproduce the advertisement
in any print or electronic advertising media we offer
advertisers now or in the future.
4. Where the advertiser utilises any aspect of our
creative services in the design or production of an
advertisement (including photographic or design
work) the advertiser acknowledges that we own
the copyright in such work and that such work is not work for which a commissioning payment has been made or agreed.
5. We may refuse to publish, or withdraw an
advertisement from publication without having to
give a reason.
6. We may publish the advertisement on the next
available day if there is an error or delay in
publication of the advertising as booked.

7. We may correct or amend advertising to conform
to style or for other genuine reasons as long as we
do so using reasonable care.
8. We may take orders for advertising in specific
spaces (space orders). The space may be used only
by the advertiser for advertising of the advertiser’s
usual business and may not be transferred by the
advertiser to another person.
9. The guarantees contained in The Consumer
Guarantees Act 1993 are excluded where the
advertiser acquires, or holds himself out as
acquiring, goods or services from us for the purpose of a business.
10. The advertiser must tell us as soon as possible if there is an error or omission in any advertisement
the advertiser has placed. We will not be liable for
any indirect or consequential loss (which includes
loss of revenue or profit) from an error or omission or failure to publish and if we are found
to have any direct liability for any circumstance
that liability is limited to the cost of the space of the
advertisement.
11. To cancel an advertisement a cancellation number
must be obtained from us.
12. The charge for an advertisement will be in
accordance with the published rate card applying
at the time for the publication, unless we agree
otherwise in writing. Rate card adjustments will
apply to space orders with effect from advertising
appearing 28 days after the rate adjustment is published on our rate card. Rates for contracts
apply for the whole contract and are not reduced if
the whole contract is not used.
13. Advertising placed by advertisers who are not
New Zealand residents will be zero-rated for GST
purposes. GST will be applied at the standard rate
to advertising placed by non-resident agents acting
for New Zealand resident principals.
14. If payment for advertising is not made by due date
(which is the 20th of the month following invoice,
unless we specify otherwise) the advertiser will
be liable for interest at market rates and all costs of
recovery, commissions and collection fees.
