Maureen Brain wasn’t expecting to be strapped to a backboard when she visited the Te Awamutu St John station earlier this week. But the Rosetown Lions president proved to be a good sport and found out first hand the value of the equipment her service group was funding. Mrs Brain and fellow Rosetown Lion Janet Officer were at the station earlier this week to present a cheque for payment of a new ‘Combi Carrier’. While there they also received a practical demonstration of how easy the board is to use. Paramedic Doug Ryan says they use a number of backboards in the process of doing their job, LANDCRUISER 70 CAB/CHASSIS but this one has a number of advantages. $63,000* ‘‘This type of board is easy to use, strong, yet ACCESSORIES lightweight, and has a locking mechanism which NOT INCLUDED PRADO VX DIESEL/AUTOMATIC is much better than the older boards we currently $79,990* have. ‘‘The board can be easily separated and HILUX 4WD eliminates unnecessary movement of a patient, SR5 D/CAB DIESEL, MANUAL making it ideal for anyone with suspected hip, $49,995* pelvic or spinal injuries.’’ The $2297 required for the backboard was raised through a raffle and Rosetown Lions were keen for the funds to go to a worthwhile cause in the community.

While the flashing lights of ambulances are a familiar sign of help at medical emergencies and community events, St John is a charity and needs public support to provide its wide range of services. One of the local events being staged to support St John is a ValRay country music concert at the Te Awamutu Bible Chapel on June 16 (7.30pm). TC240512CA03 29 Kihikihi Road, Te Awamutu.

Alan Bell, national director of ECPAT Child FISKARS / POWERGEAR II LOPPER with FREE FISKARS PRUNER ALERT, in an address to the Te Awamutu Lions Club, says there are more people entrapped in MEDIUM slavery today than ever before in the history of the $49.99 FREE! world. ECPAT Child ALERT works to prevent sexual $74.99 exploitation of children including child prosti- tution, child pornography and child trafficking. Its work brings it into contact with the second largest global black-market industry — that of human trafficking and particularly of the illegal sex STIHL SH56 BLOWER / SHREDDER VAC Special Edition industry connected to trafficking and tourism.

However, there are too many children (under 18 years) being prostituted on the streets and the demand for child pornography Right into Outdoor Power Equipment equals that of other countries in the developed world, he says. Every day in New Zealand there are thousands of attempts to access illegal child sex abuse images on the internet. Most of these are generated offshore but some cases of New Zealand children being abused for child pornography have been identified. Either way the demand results in more victims being abused. ‘‘New Zealand now has a sad record in child care and almost daily we see reports of child abuse. These are our most innocent and most vulnerable and every step should be taken to protect them from

After leading the foursomes 2-1 at Raglan on Sunday, they only managed to win two of their six singles matches. Peter Way reports that it was a bitter pill for Mel Brown and his team to swallow, losing such a close, nail-biting encounter on the last day after leading their division all year. On a brighter note, there was a great turn-out for Sunday’s Tony Cook’s Ground Spreader Ltd sponsored tournament. Numbers were swelled by some Te Awamutu Golf Club members taking advantage of the reciprocal rights arrangement to pay a visit.
