Joke backfires A traveller from Sydney who sparked a security alert at the Hamilton International Airport is no longer laughing as he realised the joke’s now on him following a bomb scare on Tuesday morning. When the 44-year-old returned to find security staff checking his unattended bags, he told them there was a bomb in one of them. His bags were searched and no suspicious devices were found, however a Swiss Army knife was recovered. The man faces charges of breaching the Aviation Act.

TC110210CT03 AUSTRALIAN tourists watch with concern as ambulance staff attend to their TC110210CT02 travelling companions. THE overturned Toyota Previa after coming to rest alongside the Ngakoaohia stream. Lucky, lucky Oz women

A group of five tourists from ‘the lucky land’ could count themselves fortunate on several counts when the rental car they were travelling in was involved in an accident on Monday afternoon. The women were heading along Ormsby Road south of Pirongia to visit the Waitomo Caves just after lunchtime, when their car left the left hand side of the road just past Kiwi Road. The driver had ‘over-corrected’ after losing control rounding a bend and the car ended up rolling down the roadside bank towards Ngakoaohia Stream, coming to rest on its roof. Fortunately they received only minor injuries and were able to scramble free. They were also fortunate that the water level in the stream was so low that it did not present a danger to the position in which their vehicle came to rest. A local veterinarian was apparently first on the scene and provided first aid, along with an ambulance volunteer who was travelling past. Pirongia Voluntary Rural Fire Force and Te Awamutu Volunteer Fire Brigade attended, along with Te Awamutu and Otorohanga Police and St John Ambulance from Otorohanga. The latter transported three of the young women to Waikato Hospital for observation. The other two women were transported to hospital by Te Awamutu Police to rejoin their friends. The Australian quintet were reportedly in good spirits and planned to continue their holiday. 7300658AA TE AWAMUTU COURIER, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 11, 2010 5 18 CARAT OVER 1 CARAT End of legal era, in name WHITE GOLD DIAMONDS A piece of Te awamutu history came to an end at $5750 $2500 the beginning of the month when the law firm Swarbricks left family HYAMS ROSETOWN JEWELLERS ownership after four gen- erations. 16 ARAWATA STREET, TE AWAMUTU • 871 7157 The late Roger Swarbrick wrote One A VISIT REWARDS YOU WITH THE BEST SELECTION & BEST PRICES Hundred Years of Law in PANDORA NO!

Jousting was a ‘hit’ for the contingent from the local Every Boys and Girls Rally who recently attended an International Camp at Matamata. Local leader Dale McClunie says around 260 people from New Zealand and Australia joined together to enjoy an active eight days at Totara Springs Christian Centre, near Matamata. ‘‘The jousting was a real highlight - it was actually trolleys on rails with lengths of foam taped around a boxing glove secured on the end of a ‘lance’. ‘‘Knights challenged each other, scoring ‘hits’ if they were accurate - and seeing their opponents tumbling off their trolley - to progress to the finals.’’ Mrs McClunie says the TC110210SP08A theme continued into the READY: Silvana Ground receives final instructions for jousting. evening with ‘A Knights Tale’ - a programme of medieval finery and a jousting group from Auckland who used real horses, armour and lances in an amazing show. Other activities at the camp included water rockets, hydroslide, BMX, go-karts, tubing and kayaking. ‘‘Team competitions such as ‘quizzicles’, ‘ship- wreck’ and ‘ice, cream and jelly’ were huge fun as well as being great learning times.’’ Te Awamutu Every Boys and Girls Rally will be starting again for 2010 next week (Wednesday February 17, 7pm - 8.30pm) at Te Awamutu Bible Chapel. Anyone interested in finding out more about this programme which caters for 7-15 yr olds should contact Dale TC110210SP08B McClunie (ph 871 9474).
