These men were recog- nised further when the commemorative pictorial panel inside the hall was unveiled in April this year. Alan Hall was instru- mental in creating the panel and has been the driving force behind the new booklet.

It’s the biggest weekend of the year for young rock bands and soloists, with the finals of New Zealand’s only live, nationwide, all original music contests taking place in Auckland. Smokefreerockquest, now in its 28th year, has a well-proven track record with recent success stories including Kimbra, Broods and Maala, while the sister event Smokefree Pacifica Beats reflects the unique cultural identity of Aotearoa New Zealand and numbers Nesian Mystik among its standout suc- cesses. And looking to add their name to that list is Te Awamutu trio Half Eaten Pie. Smokefreerockquest judge — and Kimbra’s musical director — Timon Martin said the top acts all had an originality of vision. “For New Zealand music to make an impact both at home and overseas, we need to cultivate a unique identity, and the artists we picked really showed a strong sense of that, no matter the genre. For us, they represented a bright future for creativity in New Zealand music.” Smokefree Pacifica Beats will play off this Friday at the Raye Freedman Centre at Epsom Girls Grammar. Start time 7pm, tickets from iTicket. Smokefreerockquest attracted 700 entrants this year, with bands and solo/ duos competing from May to July at regional finals from Dunedin to Whangarei. The finalists play off this Saturday, also at the Raye Freedman Centre to a sell-out crowd. Te Awamutu College’s Half Eaten Pie are up against bands Alien Weaponry from Northland, O-Boy! from the North Shore, Daffodils of Auckland, Bay of Plenty’s AhJeez, Retrospect from Onslow College and solo artists Iris G from Avondale College, Sonatane Kaufusi of Manurewa High School and Blenheim’s Cam Dawson, who boards at Nelson’s Garin College. Smokefreerockquest, powered by Rockshop, has national winners’ prize packages for bands and solo/duo win- ners that include $22,000 in Rockshop vouchers, a $20,000 NZ On Air recording, video and promo package, Decent Exposure campaign on The Edge TV, photo shoot and branding package from Imaginary Friends. There is also the MAINZ (Music and Audio Institute of New Zealand) Scholarship for Outstanding Musicianship, the APRA (Australasian Performing Right Association) Lyric Award, the Lowdown Best Song Award, Smokefree Vocals Award and the Domi- nate Style Award.

But where Tdoes such an enquiry come from? Well, for me it all started as restlessness in my spirit. Trying to understand this restless- ness led me to the conclusion that maybe, just maybe there is a greater being out there they call God, and that the hunger and thirst developing inside of me only wanted to see if this was true. It was the same for the great St. Augustine, who summed up how I felt in his famous quote, “Thou has made us for thyself, our heart is restless until it rests in thee.” I see now how God was drawing me into His plan and purpose, to put me on a path that would lead to the shaping of Christ in my life through His Spirit. When I think about this I can see how this sort of spiritual formation is God’s purpose for all people. After all, as the bible says, Jesus died that whoever would simply believe in Him to the point of developing a relationship with Him, is provided for in the redemption plan. Over time I came to the place that the key factor for my spiritual journey to continue on meant I needed to do this, and a commit- ment to God needed to be established, that achieved by investigating alternative supply and treatment options. moved from my head to my heart, and that ECONOMIC GROWTH by embracing God in my heart the Waipa District is well located in the “golden triangle” between I am committed to thoroughly investigating these options to ensure the current high value for money is maintained.

There has been a flurry of support from ‘the wonderful people of Te Awamutu and the wider Waipa District’ following an article we ran about the theft of tools from Lake Serpentine/Rotopiko. Karen Denyer of the National Wetland Trust, who is project co-ordinator at Lake Serpentine/ Rotopiko, says random acts of kindness have totally restored our faith in human- ity. “Wow, New Zealand’s legendary reputation for generosity is so deserved,” she says. Local arborist Dennis Clements of Total Tree care dropped off some pruning tools at the Te Awamutu Courier office to replace those lost, and donations have been made by Kirstie McGrail of Ray White Real Estate and Donald and Lyn McCorquindale of Glaisdale Farm. The Lions Club is also looking at how it can help with replacing the tools, so the wetland restoration and educational discovery trail projects can get back on Cancer diagnosis? track.
