Golf for cause When Steve Searle heard the words leukaemia and golf in one sentence on the radio on Sunday his ears pricked up. The Te Awamutu agricultural journalist has leukaemia and is a keen golfer - describing him- self as a ‘nine hole hacker’. When he listened to Murray Deaker’s show and heard about the LBF Golf Marrowthon at Mangere on March 9 he real- ised he had to be part of it. Last year the event raised $140,000 for the Leukaemia and Blood Foundation for patient support, education and research work (more information at www. marathon.org.nz Mr Searle is hoping to raise about $2500 and is looking for sponsors.

Using Between 9.00am and 3.00pm his Christmas fishing rod, he outfished his aunty and the whole fishing boat for size and number of 026TC025-06 fish. Aidan’s top fishing spot is at his aunty Shirley and uncle Brian’s place at Warkworth. Frisbee fl oating safety message Environment Waikato’s navigation safety team will be handing out Frisbees at popular boat ramps along the Waikato River from this Sunday through until March. The give-aways will take place from 11am-2pm at: ● Keeley’s Reserve – January 29 ● Arapuni Landing – February 5 ● Pukete Boat Ramp – February 26 ● Karapiro Domain – March 5. The council is taking a fun approach to pro- moting serious water safety messages, which are printed on the Frisbees. Close to 38,000 boats use the region’s rivers, lakes and harbours, with usage particularly heavy over summer along the Waikato River, at Lakes Karapiro and Arapuni, and around the Coromandel. Navigation safety programme manager David Pearks said while most boaties acted responsibly, high speeds near the shore or close to moorings and other vessels were a potential “disaster waiting to happen”. “We’ve got brilliant opportunities for water sports in the region, but we do need to be careful when boats and jetskis are sharing the water with swimmers, water-skiers and other users,” he said. “We wanted to remind people of the rules without being pedantic so we all stay safe and enjoy the summer. And we wanted to do it in a way which directly targeted those people we need to talk to.” The free Frisbees urge boaties to follow the fi ve-knot rule. This states vessels should go no faster than fi ve knots within 200 metres of shore and within 50 metres of another vessel or person in the water. They also remind boaties that when they’re water-skiing, wakeboarding or towing their mates around, it takes three to keep them safe – a driver, a lookout and the person being towed. Ensure safe ‘getaway’ over long weekends With Anniversary Day and Waitangi Day coming up, it’s important to think about road safety before heading away for a long weekend. ● Check your tyre tread, lights and breaks before travelling and make sure your WOF, registration and insurance are current. ● Before starting your journey, make sure everything is packed securely and all passengers are wearing a seatbelt. ● Remember to follow basic road rules including using your indicator, maintaining a safe following distance from the car in front and keeping left unless passing. ● Don’t allow distractions such as eating, drinking and conversations to interfere with your driving. ● Minimise fatigue by taking a break at least every two hours, drinking plenty of fl uids and keeping the car cool by using air conditioning or air vents. Where possible, share the driving with another person. ● Try to avoid parking your car in isolated areas. When you’re away from your car, always keep it locked and make sure valuables such as wallets and handbags are kept out of sight. “Traditionally, we receive an increased number of car insurance claims in February, so we urge drivers to take extra care on the roads during Waitangi weekend,” says TOWER Insurance 026TC001/06 CEO Pieter Lindhout. PAGE 6 Te Awamutu Courier, Thursday, January 26, 2006 Hallensteins closing ‘Call’ for reparation branch in The New Way Te Awamutu to Shape Up Hallensteins has been a regular ‘retail face’ in Te Awamutu for 51 years - but next month it will disap- pear. The men’s clothing company will close the doors of the Te Awamutu branch on February 17 for the last time. There are four staff members employed at Te Awamutu. It is understood only one will be taking up the company’s offer of relocation (to Hamilton branch). The Courier attempt- ed to obtain comment from the company’s head offi ce in Auck- land, but key personnel were on leave and unable to be contacted.
