PIRATE PAIR: Pirongia School teacher Jean McKenzie and husband Les (who obviously likes to dress up because he was one of the contestants in the recent ‘Miss Pirongia’). Have you checked rates rebate eligibility ? Tainui MP Nanaia Mahuta reminds local rate- payers that the closing date for rates rebates ap- plications is June 30. “I know a lot of people may be wondering whether or not they are eligible to apply for the rates rebate which would give households up to $500 towards their annual rates. All you have to do is contact the local council, get an application form and fi ll it in,” she says. “If you’re a ratepayer and you’re getting NZ Super, or you’re on a low income, or a benefi t, and haven’t yet looked into rates rebates, there’s still time to claim before the 30 June deadline.” Eligibility depends on a combination of income and rates levels, along with the number of de- pendents. For example, a married couple on NZ Superannuation of $24,456 and paying annual rates of $1,746 or more would be entitled to $500. A married couple on NZ Superannuation of $24,456 and paying annual rates of $1,300 would be entitled to a $203 rebate. “Families may want to check whether older family members know about the rates rebate.” The average rebate per household across the country is now $448.” Ms Mahuta says up to $70 million has been allocated for the Rates Rebate scheme for the 2007/08 rating year, but there is still money in this year’s round. “The Labour-led Government is committed to make sure that there a little extra in the pocket to keep up with annual bills like rates. Impor- tantly through other initiatives like KiwiSaver and Working for Families we are committed to reinvesting back into working families and sup- porting the more vulnerable in our society. “We know that strong families build strong communities so a job, a roof over the head and a bit extra in the pocket to meet household ex- penditure is a huge positive for families,” says Nanaia Mahuta. An application form can be collected from 186TC005/07 Council offi ces or from www.ratesrebates.govt.nz PAGE 12 Te Awamutu Courier, Tuesday, June 26, 2007 Brass off...

The Kihikihi 34-year-old set a new record time of 32.59 minutes winning the women’s 8km run for the second time, having previously triumphed in 2005. Hamiltonian A. Bradley held the record at 33.54 from 1993 until Te Awamutu College student Laura Sinclair lowered it to 33.26 last year. Second women’s 8km runner home in this year’s McEntee Hire sponsored event was Anna Gould in 41.08, with Christine Thomsen third in 41.37. Marathon Clinic president Pip Annan reports that there were 302 entries from all over the upper North Island in the 8km, 16km and half marathon fun run and walk, in- cluding one from Gore in the South Island.

Brain shoots best net Evergreen Les Brain headed some hot scoring with 64 net in the midweek tournament at Stew- art Alexander Golf Club. Brain was two shots clear of the runner-up Hugh Littlewood, with Peter Way third on 68. Former club champion Shane Ashford posted the day’s best gross of 76. Rex Mossman annexed the stableford with 40 points, from N. Johnston 39, D. Herbert, K. Jamieson, B. Clarke 38. The Mitre 10 teams event was won convinc- ingly by the line-up of Wayne King, Reg Parkes, John Hollinshead and Ray Shilton with a total of 131 points. The best three out of four scores per hole counted. The runners-up were A. Heke, Dave Heta, Ken Murray and Ken Heke with 123. Close to soccer boilover Te Awamutu women’s reserve soccer team made a mockery of their lower table status by extending top-of-the-table Claudelands. It took a late goal to get the Hamiltonians home 2-1. Player of the day for Te Awamutu, Tracey Reek- ers worked tirelessly at left half, foiling many at- tacks.

PAGE 16 Te Awamutu Courier, Tuesday, June 26, 2007 Tech end Sports win sequence Don’t write off Ecolab Te Awamutu Sports mak- ing the semi-fi nal of the Haswell Catley Trophy round despite losing 41-0 to Fraser Tech on Sat- urday. It was always going to be a tough ask against the preliminary round winners on their home patch. But Peter Bain reports that heavy overnight rain turned the fi eld into a quagmire. “Conditions were shocking, at least four inches of mud and a 20 point wind blowing. “Sports tried to run Fraser Tech around but the elements were against the style of play they have employed so successfully in recent weeks.” The visitors were still in the game trailing 22-0 at halftime but needed to score fi rst in the second half with the wind at their backs. They camped on the Tech goal line for a lengthy period, only to cough the ball up and Tech made them pay with a try against the run of play. There was no way back after that setback. Look for Sports to bounce back with a win over Hamilton Old Boys at Albert Park next Saturday. Lock Paul Wheeler was Sports’ player of the day. Prop Nathan White toiled tirelessly and fi rst fi ve Waylon Tangohau was again all class.
