Pak’n Save just weeks away

TC170810CA01SUPERMARKET competition for shoppers in Te Awamutu is set to move up a gear with the completion of Pak’n Save Supermarket in CambridgeRoad just weeks away.

Mitre 10 Mega on board, others set to sign over next week

For the 11th year in a row Pak’nSave has been the country’s cheap-est supermarket, according to Con-sumer NZ.

And Te Awamutu shopperscould have just a few weeks to waitto test that finding for themselves,without having to head out oftown.

The bulk earthworks across theCambridge Road site are nowcomplete and the Pak’n SaveSupermarket and carpark areasare progressing on schedule forcompletion/opening in Septem-ber/October.

The access road on the westernside of the site will be completedthis week together withimprovements to Cambridge Road.

The upgrade and relocation ofthe roundabout at the intersectionof Ohaupo/Arawata/CambridgeRoads was completed last month.

Construction of the remainingretail development, including aMitre 10 Mega outlet, is scheduledto start before the end of the yearand open in late 2011.

Bilimag Holdings is currentlyfinalising lease agreements for anumber of major tenants, andhopes to confirm these in the nextweek or so.

Consumer NZ says the onlysupermarket to beat Pak’n Saveprices was Christchurch NewWorld thanks to a vigorous couponcampaign.

‘‘This is the 11th consecutiveyear in a row Pak’n Save has beenthe country’s cheapest supermar-ket.’’

Pak’n Save in Lower Hutt wasthe cheapest at $116 (for a ‘basket’of specified groceries).

Foodtown in Auckland’s Paku-ranga was the most expensive at$146.

However, there were variationsin baskets between cities. In Well-ington and Auckland Pak’n Savewas $18 cheaper than its closestrival New World.

‘ ‘Price competition isincreasingly a struggle for secondplace between New World andCountdown — with both chains’normal prices often differing byless than five cents,’’ said Con-sumer NZ.

"Our undercover shoppersbought from a list of 40 top-sellingitems including bread (thesupermarkets’ lead product forboth value and volume), biscuits,milk, fizzy drinks, catfood andbutter. Personal care and cleaning

products also featured."Wine was excluded on the basis

that discounts were so large that asupermarket with a listed wine onspecial would have an unfairadvantage.

For most items a brand wasspecified but for basics like flour,butter and milk, the shoppers wereasked to buy the cheapest.

Consumer NZ says for the firsttime shoppers took account ofmulti-buys which offer lowerprices if you buy more than oneitem — for example three cans ofbaked beans for $5.

‘‘Multi-buys have become wide-spread, in one store five items onour shopping list were discountedthis way. And they were worth it.In Christchurch New World, twopacks of frozen peas cost only $4.99($2.50 each).

‘‘The lowest price found for asingle pack in Christchurch was$3.29 and that was on special!’’

Two well-known names are alsodisappearing from Consumer NZ’ssurveys.

‘‘In Napier and Dunedin wenow report on only threesupermarkets as Woolworths hasbeen converted into Countdown.

‘‘In time Foodtown will also

become Countdown.‘‘There are two players in the

supermarket game. Foodstuffsconsists of three regional co-operatives of owner-operatedstores including New World andPak’n Save. Progressive Enter-prises runs the Woolworths,Foodtown and Countdownchains, and the Fresh Choicefranchise.’’

Full survey results can beseen online atwww.consumer.org.nz or in theAugust issue of Consumer maga-zine.

Consumer NZ’s five tips fortop shopping:• Take a list and stick to it.• Take advantage of multi-buysor stock up on other specials,even if you don’t need themimmediately.• Take advantage of discountsoffered in store loyalty pro-grammes — Fly Buys orOneCard.• Check the unit prices of items— larger items or quantities arenot always cheaper.• Don’t be tempted by end-of-aislepromotions unless you wereintending to buy the productanyway.

YOUR LETTERS

‘Wasn’t my fault it degenerated’One of the main reasons

the recent public meeting thatI called degenerated, was dueto the poor and unreasonableantics of Brett Watson and thecouncillors present.

Mr Watson had nothingconstructive to add and wascontent simply to interruptother speakers as did thecouncillors.

Clearly the public wantedurgent answers and they didnot get proper ones from theproponents of the project.

Everybody who wanted to

speak got the chance to, sometwice or more.

Councillors certainly gotmore than their fair share oftime in a rare chance that thepublic had to hear them.

I was not convinced thatthey were genuine in theirassurances, their ‘statistics’or their claims.

We were told by CrGraham Jull that Te Awa-mutu will have twice thepopulation by the year 2030.

He did not offer properproof of that, however it is

fair to say that it did notdouble over the last 20 yearsand those were boom years.

There is simply not physic-ally room for a populationincrease like that.

We have also been told thatthe Library is too small for atown our size.

That is rubbish!If we look at how techno-

logy has developed over thelast 20 years as an indicationof where the forecast mighttake us, we have seen enorm-ous growth in computerised

technology to the extent thatwe can all have video phones,and access by computer toevery song ever written inwords and music by You Tubeand lyrics search engines.

We can get every greatspeech ever written, gossipchat ‘rooms’ and it is fair to saythat in the next 20 years everybook published and newspaperwill be on line and available ona palm top screen.

We will therefore no longerneed libraries or librarians.

JAMES PARLANE

Stop bagging and start buildingWhat better than Warren

and Mahoney’s magnificentmuseum/theatre complex tohelp showcase this great littletown that is Te Awamutu andjust two hours away fromAuckland.

The proposed building willbe adjacent and near to theEvents Centre, the Walk ofFame, the Rose Gardens, oldSt John’s Church, PioneerWalk, the Sculpture Park and

a busy and well run Informa-tion Centre.

Auckland is the gateway toNew Zealand, and as Auck-land grows as an interna-tional city and participatesmore fully in the global mar-ket and becomes an increas-ing magnet for tourists, TeAwamutu has yet anotheropportunity to become a trulyimportant destination in itsown right.

The centre of an area richin both Maori and Europeanhistory, central to the Wai-kato peat lakes, and sur-rounded by economicallyimportant farming operationsin this beautiful fertile land-scape, it needs a museumworthy of housing andshowcasing the valuablecollections held here alreadyby our own local museum.

The nationally significant

collections of Uenuku, the NewZealand Wars and the FinnBrothers need, and deserve, anappropriate space.

Congratulations to a Coun-cil which has the vision, confid-ence and optimism to promotethis exciting, imaginative pro-ject for the benefit of thiscommunity, its children andtheir children. Let’s get on withthe building.

MANDY REID

Ballot box real referendumThere is no need for refer-

endum on the museum/theatre complex, just vote inthe local government election!

Well, well,well, councillorCox, you are very aware of myviews on the museum/theatrecomplex as I have always had astrong view on this every timeit was discussed at Council.

I am lukewarm to themuseum proposal but totallyopposed to the theatre complexdue to its costs of $30 Millionplus for the total project andthe $1-2 Million annual operat-ing costs (being conservative).

The resolution Cr Coxrefers to was the end result of adesign competition and that

was it and nothing more. Howhe can read into this that Ifully support the project isbeyond me.

It is like judging an artcompetition and the winner isnow expected to do a largeMichelangelo painting on theCouncil Chamber ceilings —come on.

Folks, a referendum is notrequired. Your vote for me asMayor will give a very clearindication to Council that youtotally oppose the project due toits affordability and justifi-cation. Keep vocal. There ismore to come.

Pilates:Pilates:Puppies plucked fromdeath after dumping

TC170810SP3COUNCIL’S animal control officer Vickie Byford and environmental services team leader Karl Tuttywith the six rescued puppies needing a home.

Council staff have saved sixpuppies from almost certaindeath after they were appar-ently thrown off the Puniu Riverbridge near Te Awamutu.

The puppies, estimated to be5-6 weeks old, were seen strug-gling in the water last week by apasser-by who called Council’scall centre.

Animal control staff and anSPCA volunteer respondedimmediately and put out anurgent staff request for a boat tohelp in the rescue.

Four puppies had struggledto shore but were barely alive. Afifth was rescued further down-stream and the boat was used tosave the last puppy. Fourpuppies were immediately

rushed to VE VeterinaryServices for emergency care.The other two were whimper-ing, cold and frightened butotherwise fine.

All six puppies, five femaleand one male, are now back,bouncing with life after beingcared for last week and over theweekend by Council staff. Therehas been no sign of the puppies’mother.

Animal control officer VickieByford said she couldn’t be surebut suspected the puppies werea cross-breed of labrador andGerman shepherd.

“They’re really lovely pupsand our focus now on findingthem good homes. After whatthey’ve been through, they

deserve a break.”The puppies are still being

cared for by Council staff whoare working with the Te Awa-mutu SPCA to track down whomay have dumped the pups.

Meanwhile, Council staffhave picked up two unregistereddogs from a property in Pirongialast week after one – a pit-bull –attacked a child. The seconddog, officially classed as menac-ing, has not been neutered asrequired by law.

Police were forced to back-upCouncil staff after the dogs’owner became threatening. Pep-per spray was used to subduethe man who was later arrested.Both dogs are now in the Coun-cil pound.

Funds for community, welfare groupsNon-profit community and

welfare groups are being encour-aged to apply for their share of a$75,000 discretionary grantsfund.

The fund is distributed byWaipa District Council’s Com-munity Boards. Cambridge Com-munity Board and Te AwamutuCommunity Board (whichincludes Kakepuku) each have$30,000 to allocate. The PirongiaConsultative Committee, includ-ing Ohaupo, has $15,000 to distri-bute.

In 2009 the fund received 131

applications totalling $237,200 -three times more than theamount of funding available.Applications were received froma wide range of organisationsincluding social service groups,sports groups and arts and cul-tural groups.

Community liaison officerAndrea Duncan said discretion-ary funds principally helptowards operating expenses andactivities that enable groups tocarry out their day-to-day busi-ness. The fund might help coverexpenses like rent, power, insur-

ance, and telephone.Grants generally range from

$200 - $2,000. Applications for thefund close on August 31.

Applicants must be non-profitorganisations or groups provid-ing a community or welfareservice for the benefit of thewider community. Applicationforms can be collected fromcouncil’s offices in Te Awamutuand Cambridge, or downloadedfrom its websitewww.waipadc.govt.nz under‘About our Services – Commun-ity and Recreation’.

White hot young designerBY CATHY ASPLIN

TC170810CA02FROSTY RECEPTION (left): Te Awamutu College studentLaken Semmens ‘bares’ a cold Waikato morning toeffortlessly model her award winning creation.

Frosty Waikato morningsprovided sparkling inspirationfor Te Awamutu Collegestudent Laken Semmens.

Her entry ‘Morning Frost’in this year’s ReStyle (for-merly Trash to Fashion) eventnot only won the SecondarySchools section, but helped hernail the Young Designer awardfor 2010.

Laken’s stunning white gar-ment surrounded by it’s own‘fence’ was initially created forthe Ag Art Awards at Fieldays.

‘ ‘But it was initiallyrejected as organisers felt itwas a little too skimpy andshowed too much skin.’’

So a reshaping of the entry(made mostly from electricaltape) was undertaken and itwas painted white so that itcould be entered into the‘White Out’ section of theSecondary Schools’ category ofReStyle.

It proved to be a winningdecision when the results wereannounced in Hamilton’sFounders Theatre.

‘‘I must admit I was reallysurprised to be named thewinner of the White OutSecondary Schools section.I’ve never even entered thecompetition before.’’

So it was still more surpris-ing for her to be announcedwinner of the CentrePlaceYoung Designer Award.

‘‘ I was totally shocked.’’Judges said her entry

‘Morning Frost’ was a simple,elegant outfit.

‘‘Laken was thinking out-side the box with her visually

strong creation.’’She collected $300 for her

section win and a further $750worth of CentrePlace vouchersfor winning the YoungDesigner Award.

Laken also entered theAvant Garbage section - herother garment featured in theTe Awamutu Courier onAugust 3.

Another local entrant,Jamie Sole of Ohaupo, wasnamed second highlycommended in the Reconstructsection with her entry ‘Danger- Construction Site’.

SECTION WINNERSThe Year 5-8 School cat-

egory was won by Ginnell Simfrom Thames.

The other Secondary Schoolsection (Denim Heaven) waswon by Jayne Baucke fromMorrinsville College.

In the open category BevNewdick (Hamilton) won theReconstruct section and ‘ItsRaining Men’ was won byKathleen O’Shea (Thames).

The Avant Garbage sectionwas won by Elizabeth Hoskingof Raglan for her entry whichwas created with more than2500 bread bag tags joinedtogether with nylon. She alsotook out the Supreme Awardfor her design ‘Tag andRelease’.

The Air NZ Creative Awardwent to Grant Ashley Davy ofHamilton and the HamiltonCity Council Award for BestUse of Recycled Materials wentto awarded to Laura Thomasand Lilly Wieggers of Morrins-ville College.

Helping families cope with dementiaLearning to cope with

dementia is an important wayto empower families to walkalongside their loved one.Over $7,100 and counting wasraised during Alzheimers NewZealand Waikato’s Awarenessand Appeal Week (July 12-18),and this money will go towardeducation and supportservices for people affected bydementia in the Waikatoregion.

Alzheimers New ZealandWaikato held 20 ‘Cuppa for aCause’ events, where mem-bers of the public and staff atresidential care facilitiesexchanged koha for a cup oftea. As well as this, over 25volunteers took to the streetsof Hamilton, Waihi, Whanga-mata, Whitianga and Te Awa-mutu to collect donations fromthe public in exchange for a

badge with the organisation’siconic ‘forget me not’ flower.

Educator Jane Kay isdelighted by the generosity ofthe community during theappeal. She and her teamsupport over 450 families inthe Waikato region with in-home visits, carer groups andeducation sessions.

Alzheimers New ZealandWaikato’s education pro-gramme provides familieswith a greater understandingof the illness and associatedbehavioral and communica-tion difficulties.

“We aim to equip peoplewith coping strategies to helpminimise misunderstandingand stress for both parties.The sessions have been veryeffective in giving people prac-tical and useable advice tomake life easier,” she says.

The organisation also runscarer support groups wherethose caring for someone withdementia can spend time withothers going through similarissues.

“These support groupshave been a real success andwe have seen friendshipsdevelop.”

Alice Douglas is one personwho has benefited from thesesupport groups.

Her father, now 76, wasdiagnosed with a type ofdementia called Lewy BodyDementia, about two yearsago.

He lives in Ngatea withAlice’s mother, his full-timecarer, while Alice lives inAuckland.

With the help ofAlzheimers New Zealand Wai-kato, the family is now able to

assess the needs of their par-ents by recognising ways tosupport them.

“Our situation is muchmore manageable now. Jane isalways available if there’sanything I need to ask. She isvery accommodating and hasprovided much needed one-on-one support to Mum whichhas been helpful.

‘‘It is moving us forwardand with Jane’s assistance wefeel comfortable that we’redoing the right thing.”

Four family members haveattended an education courseput on by Alzheimers NZ Wai-kato.

Community tothe fore again

CFPHAZEL BARNES, forTe Awamutu Com-munity Board.

I have always knownthat Te Awamutu, Kihi-kihi and KakepukuWards have some verycaring, communityminded people alwaysthere to give supportwhen needed.

So when DebbieVickers of mbar Ltdoffered their servicesfree of charge, to repairthe water features andpond in Memorial Park,Council’s manager ofcommunity facilities(who happened to be atour meeting) immedi-ately expressed hisappreciation of the offerand will make contact todiscuss the workrequired.

I would like to point out that good communica-tions with our community can solve many prob-lems, with a win for ratepayers.

Now let’s turn our attention to Sculpture Parkand the musical sculptures so generously donated toour community by the then KTAB folk. Manychildren have had a lot of fun playing theinstruments and to now witness the vandalism issad. The Board considered many solutions and willwork with Council staff to see what is possible.Perhaps another camera will deter the vandals andmore surveillance by the community patrollers ontheir rounds.

Our community patrollers have already receivedhigh praise from the Police for assisting them withapprehending law breakers in our community.

Within the discussion the proposed new playarea, to be constructed near the Events Centre, cameup, and the need for funding to progress thiswonderful project needs a helping hand.

The Board has already donated towards it in 2006after a strong petition from 30 11-year-olds presentedtheir reasons for needing more mature play/recreational equipment in a safe visible area.

Most other towns have recognised the need foradventure recreational areas for their teenageresidents and Te Awamutu will be next if we all getbehind the committee with support and funding tocomplete the project.

Maybe another good Samaritan will pop up at ournext Board meeting with more funds on offer.

The Board had passed a resolution last meetingto support the Kihikihi Residents and Ratepayersgroup with gaining some traction for the LyonStreet landscape project. Various reasons weregiven for why it might not happen straight away, butit was reassuring to hear that support for a morepositive plan is only a few months away.

The minutes of the Kihikihi Police HouseRestoration Trust and the Temple Cottage group inthe Board agenda are encouraging, and Boardmembers feel really pleased that they havesupported a winning project for the community.

Dean Taylor went to quite some trouble toproduce pictures of what some new ‘Welcome to TeAwamutu’ signs might look like. Members of theBoard are anticipating a marked tidy up inpresentation of Te Awamutu to the World RowingCup visitors.

The Board received a letter from the Healing andRape Crisis Centre seeking financial assistance towiden the entranceway to the centre to improve offstreet parking. A unanimous decision was made toapprove $2,460 towards their need.

The Board also looked at financially supportinginstallation of a refuge on Roche Street nearFreeman Court for which we will need to consultwith the residents in the area.

YOUR LETTERS

Plenty of museum/theatre complex consultationI will try and keep this letter

regarding the proposal to build anew museum/theatre complex asbrief as possible, because I don’twish to enter the debate on thelevel of abuse and insults that ithas sunk to.

At the public meeting called byJames Parlane, and again at lastTuesday night’s Te AwamutuCommunity Board meeting, Iattempted to make what I believeis a valid point.

That point is that the people ofthe district have been well andtruly invited to have their say onthis matter over a number ofyears, and it is the outcome of anysubmissions received that pro-gressed the project to the currentstage.

Despite Council and the TeAwamutu Courier being publicly

criticised for not keeping thepeople up with the play, it isevident even by a very quickonline search that this is not thecase.

I am happy to say again that ifpeople don’t know about the pro-ject it is because they didn’t takenotice at the time.

That doesn’t mean I don’t valueopinions now, but they need to berelevant to the stage of the processwe are at.

I also believe it is wrong torevisit all the work on alternativesolutions and ideas that have beenwell and truly thought through bya raft of people over the years.

My quick online search showsthe Courier ran a front page storyin August 2005 about prioritisedprojects which included themuseum. It was number two in

the top six clearly identified pro-jects.

In May 2006 Council ran a twopage survey clearly calling forpeople to have their say on a TownCentre Improvement Study —including a new museum whichwas specifically identified.

I made my position clearregarding museum, theatre andart gallery in a letter to the editorin September 2006, supporting acall for a visual art facility for thetown.

In June 2008 the Courier ran afront page story, page two storyand centrespread on Heart of TeAwamutu planning, clearly call-ing for the public to have their sayand advertising an open day thatwas timed to allow people toparticipate out of work hours.

The open day was reported in

July 2008 and the findings wereagain front page news in August.

Last year there werereminders to have your say onimportant matters in papers inFebruary and March and then inOctober, following submissions,the outline for phase one of theproject was explained.

Members of the steering com-mittee were nominated by respec-tive groups identified as havingan interest in the project and weregiven a brief and a budget deter-mined by Council — and theyfulfilled their role admirably andshould be thanked and congratu-lated for participating.

This summary does not includemany recent articles, any mater-ial distributed by Council on thematter on the numerous pro-cesses, including a 10-year plan

process, where people were stronglyencouraged to get involved, nor anyof the Word on Waipa material orLetters to the Editor that wouldhave been published.

Big and expensive projects willalways draw criticism, that I accept,but the negativity towards planningfor the current and future needs ofthe citizens of a community I do notaccept.

We currently benefit from theforethought and planning of previ-ous generations of communityminded people — that is why ourtown is the way it is. Some of it ispaid for, some we are still paying for— surely that is fair.

Hopefully future generations willthink the same way.

Tips

When choosing fl ooring for your new home or renovation, three things are paramount: looks, practicality and comfort.

Before you choose your fl ooring, you have to decide how your fl oorwill be constructed.

The base for most homes is either a concrete pad or timber frame - each has advantages de-pending on design of your home.

Timber foundations are much cheaper to build on a sloping site, whereas concrete becomes more cost-effective on a fl at site.

It also has a better thermal mass, which means it can be heated by the sun during the day and stay warm at night.

What you put on top of that base depends on the look you are try-ing to achieve and the type of activities that take place in a par-ticular room.

Carpet will give you warmth and a sense of comfort, which makes it ideal for bedrooms, but can cause problems for people who have allergies to dust mites.

New Zealanders traditionally opt for wool or wool blended with synthetic fi bres when choosing carpet - but nylon carpets offer greater durability and resist stain-ing and fading.

Carpet will also make a home quieter if you have children screaming about the house.

The trade-off is how well that carpet stands up to the demands of children.

Wooden fl oors not only look good in living areas, but are also easy to keep clean.

While older homes in New Zea-land tend to have dark or honey-coloured fl oors, you can make your home feel brighter by using pale fl ooring such as maple or bamboo or using a limewash ef-fect to refl ect light.

Wooden or tile fl oors are a good option in kitchens, as they are hard-wearing and easy to clean, with wood more forgiving than tile fl oors when you drop plates or glasses.

Keeping the weeds awaycan be easy if you plan

TC170810SP14DWARF mondo grass features under a garden specimen.

Every week I get asked bypeople "What is a goodgroundcover that I can plant inmy garden to keep away theweeds?".

It won’t be long now before allthe trees and shrubs in yourgarden will start to come to lifeand want to grow, butunfortunately so will those awfulweeds!

It will soon be that time of theyear when you turn your backfrom the garden for just a week,and when you return the weedswill have germinated and begrowing through their lifecycleas quickly as possible.

Whatever you do, try to dealto these weeds BEFORE theyhave a chance to go through theirfull cycle and set and scattertheir seed everywhere.

Because if you get rid of themafter they have scattered theirseed, then the damage hasalready been done and beforeyou know it, up will jump thenext crop of weeds and probably10 times the amount you got ridof last time.

In today’s column I am goingto talk about a good groundcoverplant that can help you to keepthe weeds to a real minimum inyour garden, so that you willhave more time for other, moreenjoyable activities.

MONDO GRASS - for thosewho have not heard of this plant,it is an outstanding groundcovergrass that once it covers theground, the weeds will be virtu-ally non-existent.

It comes in a range of coloursand sizes, and will grow in verydense shade or full sun.

TALL GREEN -(OPHIOPOGON JAPONICA) -gets to about 15-20cm high. Greatfor a shady spot under trees andshrubs, looks super next to apond/water feature and underweeping maples. It will also growhappily in full sun.

SHORT GREEN -(OPHIOPOGON JAPONICANANA) - gets to about 7-10cm.Great for softening an areaamongst paving stones, pavers,and very useful as a topping forcovering the soil in a patiocontainer/pot.

TALL BLACK -(OPHIOPOGON BLACKDRAGON) - grows to about 15cmtall. Stunning jet black foliage,extremely effective in the gardenwhen used en masse, it is a realeyecatcher! Will grow in full sunor dark shade, and like the greenit’s extremely tough to all theelements. Only downside is that

it is slower growing than thegreen selections, so it will takelonger to cover over a given area,but you can speed this process upby just putting in a few moreplants per the given area.

SHORT BLACK-(OPHIOPOGON DWARFBLACK) - same growth habit asthe short green at 7-10cm inheight. Only recently has thisshorter version been available inNZ. Great for amongst paversand pots. Fabulous when usedclose to white foliaged plants, itmakes the strong black colouringreally shine out.

A FEW TIPS on how to makeit easy for yourself to getMONDO GRASS established inyour garden.

1- never buy or start off withmondo grass plants that containweeds, you are asking for longterm trouble.

2- you can break the motherplants into lots of pieces andplace about 5-10cm apart.

3- really nurture your plants

for the first year - fertilise andwater over the summer monthsand this will encourage them togrow actively.

4- try to NEVER let any weedsseed in your mondo grass area,especially for the first 12 monthswhile you are trying to get themondo grass established. If youdo get some weed seedlingsappearing amongst your mondograss, I find using a sharp knifeand running the blade just underthe soil level is enough to disturbthe weeds and make them shrivelup.

5- if your mondo at any stagelooks a bit scruffy, just get outthe hedgeclippers and prune offall the foliage at about 5cm abovethe ground, and feed with slowrelease fertiliser. It will comeback very quickly and will alllook perfect again.

Happy gardening fromGraeme Burton at RukuhiaHomestead Landscaping Ltd(www.thehomesteadlandscapin-g.co.nz).


Quinlan going for Commonwealth goldNZ selection culmination of three year plan for wrestling’s comeback ‘kid’

TC170810CT07INJURY free Aaron Quinlan Games medal prospect.

BY COLIN THORSEN

Wrestler Aaron Quinlan hasshrugged off a horror run ofillness and injuries to be in topshape ahead of the Common-wealth Games in India.

The 36-year-old former Te Awa-mutu YMI wrestling star says heis going to the Games to win gold,not just make up the numbers.

‘‘If I get a good draw andwrestle to the best of my ability Ican go all the way and medal.’’

Quinlan has the form to backup his confidence, winning the96kg title at both the 2010 OceaniaChampionships in Samoa andAustralian Cup in Melbourne.

He beat Australia’s best in hisweight category at the Oceania’s,along with an American Samoanand fellow New Zealander SamBelkin of Christchurch, who wasvying for Quinlan’s spot in theGames team.

At the Australian Cup, he beattwo Australians, one a 2008Olympian, the other is going tothe Commonwealth Games.

New Zealand wrestling coachMark Grayling tips Quinlan as aleading medal prospect.

‘‘Aaron is untouched atOceania level — no one in Aus-tralia gets near him,’’ Graylingtold the Courier.

‘‘He’s hugely focussed, in thebest shape I’ve ever seen him in.’’

Although Quinlan will be mak-ing his Games debut, he didrepresent New Zealand at theCommonwealth Championshipsin Melbourne in 1995, placingfourth.

After seven years out of thesport, Quinlan committed to acomeback in 2007 — setting him-self a three year goal of makingthe Commonwealth Games team.

‘‘I felt that I had some unfin-ished business after missing outon the 2000 Olympics in Sydney.’’

He quickly showed that age isno barrier when it comes towinning wrestling matches,cleaning up the 84kg division atthe 2008 New Zealand champion-ships in Dunedin aged 34.

One of his scalps was an Ameri-can former No. 3 in the world.

That form carried over into the2009 Oceania championships inSamoa where Quinlan againproved to be in a class of his own.

His after match celebrationswere to have disastrous conse-quences however. He was amongthe 20-30 wrestlers, including themajority of the Aussie team andhalf of the Kiwis, to suffer foodpoisoning after the banquet on thefinal night of the Oceania Cham-pionships.

Quinlan also suffered an armburn from an oven in Samoa thatturned into blood poisoning.

‘‘It was hardly the ideal prepar-ation for the Australian Cham-pionships where I intended to goup to the 96kg weight I wasconcentrating on for the Common-wealth Games.

‘‘I’d been struggling to meet the84kg weight but a severe bout ofdiarrhoea certainly didn’t help megoing up a weight division.’’

It showed the class of Quinlanthat he was able to overcome allthese hurdles and still win theAustralia national title, beatingthree times Olympian ReinOzilien (an ex Russian, now wrest-ling for Australia) and the bestacross the Tasman.

His joy was shortlived though.The illnesses suffered in Samoa

affected his immune system.‘‘I didn’t realise how sick I was

at the time. Once back in New

Zealand I had to take a couple ofweeks off training and couldn’twrestle for a month.’’

Matters then took another turnfor the worse.

On his return to training, he

suffered a knee injury, requiringkey hole surgery.

A minor operation to scrapeout loose cartilage, followed by ashort time off training,eventuated in Quinlan being outof commission for five to sixmonths.

He missed all the domestictournaments, including thenationals in 2009.

His rehabilitation washampered by his thyroid andmetabolism not workingefficiently — a legacy of the virussuffered in Samoa.

In order to prove his fitness tothe national selectors, Quinlan‘had to go’ to the CommonwealthChampionships in India onDecember 20, 2009.

To prepare for the event, hewent to Canada for three months,only to put his back out.

It was the last straw thatalmost broke the camel’s back.

‘‘I was so close to giving it allaway.’’

But the never say die Kiwiovercame the odds and competedin India.

He drew the eventual winnerfirst up, the top Indian, losinground one of the bout by only 3-0and round two 3-1. He was elimin-ated in the second round of thecompetition by a Canadian whenfeeling well below par.

Quinlan is pleased to nowreport that he has a clean bill ofhealth. He has withdrawn fromnext month’s world champion-ships in Moscow, pending thearrival of his first baby.

Considering the horror run ofinjuries and illness, his selectionin the New Zealand Games teammust rate as one of the gutsiestcomebacks in New Zealand sport-ing history.

Nicholson in sensationalform ahead of Games

TC170810CT07STILL very much a local lad at heart. Andrew Nicholson, on his return homeearlier this year, admiring his plaque in Te Awamutu’s Walk of Fame.

Kihikihi eventerAndrew Nicholson’s redhot form is continuing,this time at the pres-tigious Hartpury HorseTrials inGloucestershire.

The UK based49-year-old won the CICthree star section Daboard Mr Cruise Con-trol, was fourth in thesame division on Nereo,and second by a slitherin the CIC three starsection C on Avebury.

Nicholson’s fineform comes on the backof his history-makingwin at the Aachen CICOthree star last monthwhere he was the firstnon-German rider totake victory.

Equestrian SportsNew Zealand eventinghigh performanceleader Erik Duvanderwas full of praise for hisstar rider.

‘‘Andrew is on top ofhis game.

‘‘He rode all three ofthose horses fantasti-cally. The horses are allhitting form and it isdown to Andrew’s goodwork.

‘‘He’s riding at hisutmost best. If that con-tinues it will put him inwith a chance (individ-ually) at the WorldEquestrian Games.’’

Duvander says he’sbeen watchingNicholson’s horsescoming through for thepast six years and is notat all surprised at theirefforts.

He is hopeful theform will hold throughto the WEG in Kentuckynext month.

And he wasn’t theonly Kiwi in top formeither. Mark Todd andNZB Campino won theCCI two star section B,with Joe Meyer onIntrepid in 11th spot.

Meyer suffered a bit-ter blow just days beforethe event when his num-ber one horse Snip wasruled out for the year.He had arrived inHartpury in great shapebut it was later discov-ered the horse hasfractured a bone in hishock, putting him out ofcontention for nextmonth’s World Eques-

trian Games.The Hartpury trials

attracted more than 400entries from top British,Australian, New Zea-land and Swedishriders.

It was considered akey event for the six

Northern Hemispherebased Kiwi WEGhopefuls to impressselectors.

The World Gamesrun from September 25to October 10 and fea-ture eight disciplines —showjumping, dressage,

endurance, eventing,para dressage, reining,driving and vaulting.

The games are heldevery four years and areexpected to attract morethan 800 riders from 57countries and morethan 600,000 spectators.

Robin Gibb live at VectorRobin Gibb is

performing atAuckland’s Vector Arenaon Monday, November 8,with support from ThePointer Sisters, and wegive you the chance topick up a copy of ourfeatured CD as the idealprecursor to one of themost anticipated showsof the year.

Up for grabs is RobinGibb Live (with the NeuePhilharmonie FrankfurtOrchestra).

To see and hear RobinGibb performing with anorchestra is an incom-parable experience, arare opportunity tosavour brand newversions of familiarclassics by one of themost unique andinstantly recognisablevoices in popular music.

It is equallyrewarding and refresh-ing, in an age ofsynthesizers, computers,auto-tune and backingtracks to witness thespontaneity of a small,hard-working and mostlyacoustic band and to baskin the rich vibrant soundof real strings and horns.

This is what setsGibb’s show apart frommany of today’s pop actsand makes this CD amust for Gibb-fans andmusic lovers alike.

Standing ovationswere the order of the daythroughout this concertand it’s easy to see why.

There’s great BeeGees and Robin Gibb solonumbers here, all pas-sionately produced by aman who still poursheart and soul into everynote, every word.

I’ve Gotta Get A Mess-age To You,Massachusetts, New YorkMining Disaster 1941,Saved By The Bell, Julietand Stayin’ Alive to namebut a few.

Ellan Vannin is miss-ing. Will he do it live atthe show? Only one wayto find out!

Tickets are availablefrom Ticketmaster.

To be in to win simplyput your name, addressand daytime phone num-ber on the back of astandard sized envelope,

address it to the RobinGibb CD Competition

and make sure it reachesour office by 5pm, Friday.

CINEMASCENE

The Girl Who Played With FireMikael Blomkvist,

publisher of Millenniummagazine, has made hisliving exposing thecrooked and corruptpractices of establish-ment Swedish figures.

So when a youngjournalist approacheshim with a meticulouslyresearched thesis aboutsex trafficking inSweden and those inhigh office who abuse

under-age girls,Blomkvist immediatelythrows himself into theinvestigation.

Sequel to the phenom-enal The Girl With theDragon Tattoo.

Breakfast At Tiffany’s

Audrey Hepburn shines as HollyGolighty in the 1961 classic film.

Struggling writer Paul Varjak movesinto a New York apartment buildingand becomes intrigued by his pretty,quirky neighbour Holly Golightly.

Holly’s lifestyle confuses andfascinates Paul; in public she flitsthrough parties with a sexy, sophistic-ated air, but when they’re alone shechanges into a sweetly vulnerablebundle of neuroses.
