BY COLIN THORSEN

Seven-year-old Jayden Odlum had the time of his life at the three- day Te Awamutu Rotary Carnival run in conjunction with Mahon’s Amusements. The youngster, accompanied by father Chris, headed straight for the side shows at Albert Park, winning two prizes in as many minutes — a pump-action water pistol on the laughing clowns and a second toy gun when his dad shot a maximum. The Odlums celebrated their success with a ride on the dodgems, dishing out big hits, while copping some of their own medicine. TC220318CT01 “It was cool fun, but next time FAMILY FUN: Chris Odlum and son Jayden leading the way in their I’ll drive,” Jayden was overheard Dodgem Bumper Car at Te Awamutu Rotary Carnival at Albert Park. telling his father.

Nominations are now open for the New Zealand Youth Awards 2018, which recognise and celebrate young New Zealanders who have achieved outstanding results, as well as those who have made a significant contribution in their communities. Minister for Youth, Peeni Henare, announced the opening of nominations and said the awards build on the success of previous years. “This year we will recognise 18 rangatahi, nominated by their peers and communities, across six distinct award categories,” said Peeni. “The categories in 2018 recognise crucial skills and personal qualities such as leadership, empathy, working for the benefit of others and caring for our environment. “As Minister for Youth, I want to take the time to honour our rangatahi on behalf of the communities they serve and represent. “It is great to see young people at the forefront of leading initiatives and support- ing their communities in areas such as the arts, culture, education, business and the environment. “I want to encourage more young people to develop their natural leadership skills and mana. “These Awards are both to inspire and give confidence to other young people that it could be them receiving an award next. “This year, I am also excited to introduce the junior and senior Supreme Awards to recognise two outstanding young people who have tirelessly worked to advocate for and make a demonstrably significant contribution to address the current needs of young people in their community. Applications close midday Thursday, April 26. The award winners will be announced at an event on Thursday, June 28. ■ For information or to make a nomination visit www.myd.govt.nz and search for youth awards 14 Te Awamutu Courier Thursday, April 5, 2018
