We will need the skills and talents of every young person to lift us out of the recession and improve our productivity, says chair of the Mayors Taskforce for Jobs and Mayor of Otorohanga Dale Williams in support of the Government’s youth training initiatives. ‘‘The Mayors Taskforce for Jobs is very pleased to see the Government’s commitment to young people announced by the Prime Minister,’’ Mr Williams says. The Taskforce goals that ‘‘all young people under 25 will be in education, training or work and that every school leaver has the support to connect to opportunities within their own community’’ will be greatly enhanced by the Youth Opportunities package. ‘‘Keeping our young people in work and training is very important in a recession. ‘‘We have been has been discussing these initiatives with Ministers Paula Bennett and Anne Tolley and working out how we can ensure maximum uptake of the opportunities,’’ Mr Williams says. The Taskforce will be encouraging mayors and councils to make the most of the opportunities for the young people in their communities — something in which Mr Williams’ own District Council has been to the fore.

When Kate Ward left Te Awamutu College after finishing a hospitality course her dream was to one day run her own cafe. Just over four years later that dream has become a reality. WINTER She recently took over the Lily Pad Cafe on Kaipaki Road and loves her new role. ‘‘The Lily Pad offers a relaxing rural setting with friendly service, great drinks and food!’’ Prior to taking over the business Kate was head SLAM chef at the cafe, so when the opportunity came up to 6999010AA buy it she says it was too good to turn down. ‘‘It’s something I’ve always wanted to do, but THIS SUNDAY @ 1PM never imagined it would be this soon.

Kate says the cafe complements the nearby Garden Art Studio and gives people a ‘destination’ to enjoy, especially in the weekends. ‘‘People are often looking for somewhere they can go for a few hours, rather than just stopping in for a quick coffee. The Lily Pad Cafe and Garden Art Studio offer a place to visit — visitors can look at the crafts, wander through the gardens and enjoy breakfast, morning tea, lunch or afternoon tea. ‘‘When the weather is good it gets very busy here, so I always encourage our guests to book, particularly in the weekend.’’ The Lily Pad menu helps kick off the day well with dishes such as French toast, pancakes, bagels, eggs and muesli. For later in the day there’s everything from BLT’s and bruscetta to salads, salmon, scallops and soups. A childrens menu is available, while there is a tempting array of cakes in the countertop cabinet. Coffee, tea, wine, beer and a range of cold drinks KARL, FROM WAIKATO complement any meal.

BY GRANT JOHNSTON

Despite dire predictions, the future of country rugby is in good hands if Pirongia Under 19s 7-all draw with Waikato University on Saturday is anything to go by. Unlike many of the game’s more illustrious players, these boys were playing for nothing more than pride and their mates, coaches and families. But that was all the motivation they needed and they gave everything they had at Pirongia Park. University fielded a reasonably slick outfit (not the slickest in this Waikato-wide competition though — that’s table topping Hinuera, with University second). TC110809GJ01,02 The teams were inseparable in TRY TIME: Pirongia flanker Mitch Neal charges through a tackle the first half, but University broke (above) and crosses for his team’s try (below). the deadlock in the second spell with a converted try that gave them a 7-0 lead. Pirongia lifted and attacked for much of the last quarter, but stern defence from the visitors appeared to be holding them at bay. It was a warm day for rugby and no-one would have faulted Pirongia if they had wilted late, but they stuck to their task admir- ably and kept hammering away. Eventually their endeavour was richly rewarded when, after a THIS FRIDAY & SATURDAY series of of penalties, flanker Mitch Neal spotted a half gap and 2 DAYS - 2 LOCATIONS motored through it with great determination and left defenders MASSIVE SAVINGS sprawling in an irresistible charge to the line.
