Fighting violence
Te Awamutu’s Kainga Aroha Community House has won the contract for a new programme to combat family violence. The Ministry of Social Development have budgeted $15.4 million to the Whānau Resilience project which will run over four years initially and families are being encouraged to share their experiences of domestic violence. Ange Holt – who is also Te Awamutu Community Board chair – is the Whānau Resilience Kamahi and says the plan for Waipā is for social service organisations to provide support and solutions families require “via a grassroots-up model as opposed to a governmentdown one”. Stakeholder meetings will be held in Te Awamutu and Cambridge next week. Ms Holt said despite millions of dollars being spent every year on preventative and support services, domestic violence/family harm statistics continued to rise. “In Waipā police have made more than1350 family violence investigations this year – an increase of 283 on last year.” The Ministry of Social Development says Whānau Resilience is designed to create strong, resilient communities where whānau are supported to live violence free and to eliminate violence for the next generation. Whānau Resilience will involve locally based groups of providers working together in their regions to design services for people. The programme will initially run for four years. The first 12 months are dedicated
Kainga Aroha Community House whanau resilience kaimahi Ange Holt and manager Kane Rangitonga.
to hearing the whānau voice, researching what services and programmes are available in the area, then co-designing the services and support systems. The following three years will be spent implementing recommendations and bedding them into the regions.
The contract has five pou that the design framework is required to adhere to. These are strengthening cultural identity and whakapapa, strengthening social capability and community connection, supporting long term behaviour change for men and people using violence,
supporting trauma healing and recovery from violence, and creating healthy relationships and skills. Kainga Aroha Community House Manager, Kane Rangitonga says the organisation is excited to be given the opportunity to put services
and support in place that are based on family/whānau needs, “not instructions from the top down”. Ms Holt, who has previously worked as the Violence Free Waipā Te Awamutu coordinator, said the province has some great services available. “Unfortunately, there still are some gaps, which enable the violence to continue. By really listening to what our families are asking for and fully meeting those needs, hopefully we can make changes that will have positive outcomes.” Contribution from stakeholders and families/whānau who have been impacted by domestic violence would be critical to the success of this contract. “We need to know what will work better for families/whānau based on their experiences and needs.” Anyone who would like to share their opinions or story is encouraged to contact her and make an appointment. This can be in person or over the phone. All conversations will be confidential, and if you wish you can also remain anonymous. Two stakeholder/ interested parties’ hui are being held, one in Cambridge on next Tuesday and the next on Wednesday. These will provide an outline of the Whānau Resilience contract followed by a discussion of the current state of Waipā services. Ms Holt said any social service group or organisation that would like to attend can contact her on 0274 395 744 or by email – wr@ ka.org.nz.

Letters… Is Waipa District Council challenged over growth or just confused? Mayor Jim Mylchreest has been quoted as saying: “the revised Annual Plan reflects an anticipated 18 per cent decline in the level of residential and commercial construction activity. That’s a significant reduction in revenue (consent fees, etc) that we’ve had to absorb while still pushing our proposed rates increase down by 1.8 per cent”. The Mayor has admitted to there being negative growth, where ratepayers are absorbing pretty much the losses in rates – maybe this answers’ why our proposed rates increases only reduced by 0.3%. So, the question is: why is Council still fixated on continuing with growth, when this exposes ratepayers to greater risk when having to absorb the losses?’ And what if in future no growth happens? Where does this leave ratepayers? It leaves us with potentially a huge bill. Would it not be logical and sensible to defer growth until the economy recovers and focus the limited funds on our already neglected infrastructure whilst trying to limit the risk and proposed rates increase for ratepayers. (Abridged) Hayden Woods Te Awamutu Planning for the future Our Waipa mayor has apparently dismissed making it a requirement that all building permits for new dwellings in this area have a water catchment and tank storage clause. I would challenge the mayor to issue a public statement indicating if the issue has been put to council and voted on. While the building of some 600 new houses in the district seems a laudable aim, we are likely to come out the other side with such homes being purchased by the already rich and privileged, and will be of little assistance towards housing the poor, and the new Covid poor who will lose their mortgages and jobs in the postCovid economy. The least council can do is to require sensible provisions towards preventing such ‘empire building’ from sucking more resources from our already established communities and rates bases. Let us have some community discussion on this issue, as that is what democracy is all about, is it not? (Abridged) Dennis Pennefather Te Awamutu
Book month kicks off Te Awamutu Primary School librarian Amy Harrop presented at the Rocket Storytime event at Chartwell Library in Hamilton on Saturday at the first event in Hamilton Book Month. Her book “There’s a Hedgehog in my Pants!” received a great response from pre-schoolers and their parents. After reading her book and talking about why and how she wrote it, Amy
and children made Lego hedgehogs. Hamilton Book Month is on throughout August with 20 events in a range of genres including romance, crime, memoir, poetry, storytelling, young adult authors, local authors, mysteries and cold cases. For more details go to www. hamiltonbookmonth.com .

On the beat Call the police – please! with Ryan Fleming
I do get tired of having the same rant each week but clearly the message just isn’t getting through. If you see something suspicious or dangerous, call the Police. We even have an easy to remember phone number, 111. Last Saturday a motocross bike was stolen in a robbery. Police were called and began conducting area enquiries. Sometime after the robbery a post was made on the various community Facebook groups where, lo and behold, numerous people commented that they had seen the bike and rider travelling without a helmet and in a hurry. Despite these multiple witnesses seeing dangerous behaviour that would obviously warrant police attention, no one called. Can you imagine how frustrating that is for police staff who were out looking for this bike. What if it was your property stolen? Would you want police to have been notified? It really is so simple. If you see something that would warrant our intention, tell us. Ring 111. Each person who saw this motorbike and didn’t call is a missed
opportunity for us to have caught the offender. On Sunday I had the pleasure of attending the inaugural Warburton Cres Neighbourhood Support meeting. It was great to meet the occupants of the street and obtain some feedback about how to keep the community safe. This street used a brilliant initiative and setup a Facebook page specific to their street. They share information with each other through the page and it should be widely known now that any offending down that street is likely to draw police attention due to everyone who lives there being the eyes and ears of that community. I would also like to say a big thanks to the Girl Guides for the random act of kindness we received last week. We had some lovely visitors who dropped off some baking for a random act of kindness project. They had to select an emergency service to perform an act of kindness for and we were blessed. The staff enjoyed the brownies. Thanks team.

Briefs…
Water issues Waipā council staff are continuing to look for the source of a water supply issue which prompted a call last week – which was heeded by Ōhaupō residents - to conserve water. The issue impacts on the council’s ability to treat water at the Parallel Treatment Plant and supply reservoirs across the Pukerimu Scheme at the usual quantities. Meanwhile, laying the Waikeria pipeline has started in Kihikihi’s Rolleston Street and Flat Road. Detours are in place to enable the work. Work resumes Department of Corrections’ Community Work Teams form Te Awamutu and Hamilton have resumed restoration work at Lake Ruatuna following a Covid interruption. Ruatuna, just out of Ōhaupō, is part of a network of peat lakes and the focus of a significant long-term restorative effort from the local community, schools and the Corrections Community Work Teams. Helping hand Waipa District Council is taking applications for funds from two grants. Not-for-profit groups and organisations offering services and support to Waipā communities are being encouraged to apply to Waipā District Council’s Community Discretionary Fund. The $126,800 fund is available for activities and projects that provide a community or welfare service for the benefit of the Waipā community. Details are at www.waipadc.govt. nz/communitydiscretionaryfund. Meanwhile, a $40,000 fund which helps the community plan and deliver projects that reduce waste in Waipā is now open. Waipā District Council’s Waste Minimisation Community Fund funds individuals, groups and businesses that encourage, promote or organise waste minimisation activities. For details to go www.waipadc.govt. nz/wastefund Fundraiser Te Awamutu Association Football Club will raise funds with a quiz night at the Waipā Workingmen’s Club on August 15.The annual fundraiser is for both junior and senior teams in the club and starts at 7pm. Entry is $10 a person. Waikato fund Waikato Regional Council has signed a partnership and funding agreement, which will see WEL Energy Trust commit $3 million over five years to the Waikato Wellbeing Project. The project identified specific targets through a series of workshops with hundreds of Waikato leaders and experts last year.

New ministry offices open By Jeremy Smith
A new Ministry of Social Development facility opened in Te Awamutu on Monday - two months after its originally slated opening date. The roughly 1400 square metre purpose-built Vaile St building – which will house both the Ministry Social Development’s Te Awamutu Service Centre and Oranga Tamaraki, the Ministry for Children - was supposed to open in June but the date was
pushed back thanks to the Covid-19 lockdown. A statement released to the News attributed to Ministry of Social Development Waikato commissioner Te Rehia Papesch said project costs could not be provided because they were yet to be finalised. On Monday before being officially opened to the public, a karakia was held and staff completed a training session in the new building. Ms Papesch said the facility was a good fit for
both the agencies that would use it. “It will make it easier for families to seek help and engage with both organisations,” she said. “We want it to feel safe and secure for people and we also want people to have a positive experience when they visit us.” The design of the new building came from discussions with clients, staff and community groups, with client privacy and security of utmost importance, she added.
Fieldays visitors top 90,000
The online Fieldays run from July 13 to 26 attracted more than 90,000 visitors from 75 countries. The Fieldays Society says the concept and digital platform, created in just over 100 days as a consequence of Covid-19, exposed those visitors to almost 300 exhibitors and provided more than 24 hours of Fieldays TV content. More than 40 per cent of registered users were aged over 50. “The analytics show great viewership and engagement with the explosion of international visitors and, locally, a much higher regional spread beyond the traditional Fieldays,” chief executive Peter Nation said. “The success of this years’ event was a testament to the strong collaboration with our exhibitors and our relationships with industry leaders that got behind it despite not having a
benchmark.” He said while the event clashed with the start of calving in New Zealand, registered users in the dairy industry ranked third in industry type. Exhibitors who paid for a site for the physical event were offered the choice of an 80 per cent refund or to leave their site fees with the society for the 2021 event. Only 27 per cent opted for a refund. Of the online exhibitors, four per cent were new Fieldays exhibitors. Fieldays has yet to give an indication what exhibitors reported in terms of sales. Peter Nation said the online and physical Fieldays were two different types of events built to achieve different goals and speak to different audiences. “This provides great opportunity for 2021 when we bring the two together to make the absolute best of both.”
“The new centre has separate zones to give clients more privacy and more things for children to do.” Oranga Tamaraki’s stated goal is to ensure the voices of children and young people, whānau, hapū and iwi, alongside caregivers and Māori organisations are heard. There are 240 reports of concern about children in New Zealand every day and social workers do 100 daily assessments to help families keep children safe.
Te Rehia Papesch
Of those, four children will ultimately require Ministry care.
Heritage funding for three Waipā projects
The Maungatautari Ecological Island Trust has been given a $20,000 boost in its war on pests. It is one of three projects aiming to preserve the district’s heritage to get support in the latest round of grants from the Waipā Heritage Fund. The fund carries an annual value of $70,000 and there are two funding rounds a year. The money for Maungatautari has been allocated for a new biosecurity plan to protect native species living on the mountain. Waikato RiverCare will get $13,500 for weed control and native planting efforts to help restore the Tuhikaramea Stream. The Cambridge Historical Society gets $3500 to assist the storage of a collection of photograph negatives. The black and white photographs, taken by photographer Reg Buckingham, depict Cambridge people and organisations from 1960
to 1986. Council’s community services manager Sally Sheedy said it was important to preserve the district’s heritage. “Whether it’s protecting special photographs that depict our history or planting native trees, it’s crucial to preserve our heritage in Waipā,” she said. “We look forward to watching these projects as they progress and conserve the district’s unique and diverse heritage for generations to come.” The fund was established in 2013 to preservation, enhance and showcase the environmental and cultural heritage, diversity and history of the district. The next round of funding closes on December 30. For more details go to www.waipadc.govt.nz/our-services/ grants-and-funding/heritagefund .
Tech company’s $14m extension
Local success story leads to new $14m centre of excellence A company born on an Ōhaupō farm 20 years ago is planning a $14m centre of excellence in research and development in the Waikato. BBC Technologies is a global leader in the development of turnkey lines, including sorting and packing
machines, for small fruits such as blueberries and cherries. With 99 per cent of their revenue from exports through 39 countries and a 60 per cent global market share, the company attracted the attention of Norwegian Tomra Food, which acquired BBC Technologies in 2018. The company has outgrown its current premises on Ingram Rd at Hamilton Airport and is planning to expand its operation to a larger site nearby. The building project will take 12 to 18 months. Chief Executive Geoff Furniss (pictured left) said the plan for new site would feature
a 2500sqm research and development facility and 3000sqm manufacturing centre. BBC Technologies employs 40 people in the technology side of the business. With the new centre of excellence that will increase to 100. “We expect our team to grow from 175 staff to 300 over the next five years,” Mr Furniss said. He also expects the company’s annual revenue to continue growing. This year it’s likely to be around $52 million, which represents approximately 10 per cent growth over the past year – in spite of the impact of Covid-19.

NO PLANET B
FAITH IN WAIPĀ
Examining the greenness
Paying our dues
By Peter Matthews
What a day. It started at home in Cambridge. I had to go to work for an hour, and then pack up the car and the family and drive south, and now I am sitting in a cabin in the holiday park at Foxton Beach. Something I have been aware of for some time has been brought into stark relief in the last couple of days: I am constantly evaluating the ‘greenness of things’. Last night two young men visited our house; one is an apprentice diesel mechanic and the other is embarking on a career in the dairy industry. A quick, involuntary evaluation yielded the conclusion, rightly or wrongly, that in 20 years’ time both of those industries will be niche, if at all. I feel almost traitorous for thinking it, but to my mind it seems inevitable. As we left Cambridge, I was evaluating the ethical and environmental justification for going on this trip at all. I am afraid to say that the outing is ecologically indefensible. We are down here to collect a new puppy for my daughter, and not a CO2 offset in sight. Between Cambridge and Tokoroa it’s all farmland. My wife and I talked about how it was once all native bush, and in places one can see vestiges of that. When I first came to New Zealand I lived in Taupo and burning piles of cleared tree stumps were a common sight - not so much now. Then between Tokoroa and Taupo the farmland gave way to forestry and my wife asked me whether this was a ‘greener’ land use than farming. I thought about that: Yes and no - it’s monoculture, which is not great, but it is trees, which is better than grass. In Taupo we had lunch on the lakefront;
meatless burgers at Burgerfuel which was a first for me. I don’t really see the point in being vegetarian and then trying to replicate meat, but they were good. Along the Desert Road I was thinking about the Kaimanawa horses. They are culled each year - there’s a paradox - I’m not in favour of killing them but they are not native... Then there’s the army training ground and base at Waiouru, not very environmental but necessary for national security? South of Waiouru, as with most of the country, the history of animal farming is almost indelibly marked on the landscape. It is commonly known that widespread intensive animal farming is not the way forward - if the way forward is to be for the betterment of the planet and survival of all the species. It made me realise quite how far New Zealand has to go. It’s important to articulate right here that I am not against farming - I just think it has to change, and the magnitude of the coming change is worrying. PLANET It has been a ONLY great day out with the family. And thought-provoking too, all the while evaluating the ‘greenness of things’. I think it is a good thing to do.
Local antique shops are great if you are interested in curios from bygone eras. Very old articles that have passed from generation to generation carry a history of ownership and stories that can be fascinating. The oldest item I have is a Roman coin dated AD 79 and it bears the image of an Emperor by the name of Titus. It has been authenticated by a reliable expert and appeared for sale in a market in England having been apparently uncovered during archaeological digs. Holding a coin that is nearly 2000 years old stirs thoughts about its many owners, whose purse it lay in and the countless times it was tendered to purchase things so long ago. The fact this coin carries the image of Titus makes it significant. He was a general before becoming emperor and it was his armies that surrounded the walls of Jerusalem in AD70, ultimately besieging and ransacking the city. The temple - a wonder of the ancient world was destroyed, its huge stones overlaid in gold which had glistened in the sun, were torn down and stripped, its treasures plundered. Without a capital or focus of worship, Israel became scattered as a nation, many became enslaved. Today in Rome, sculpted into marble, the Arch of Titus depicts his returning victory procession after the conquest. It reveals soldiers parading shamed captive exiles through the streets, carrying items that were stolen from Jerusalem. My coin isn’t especially valuable since similar Roman coins are relatively common but it is a ‘treasure’ nevertheless, providing a strand of ‘connection’ with first century AD life. Holding it reminds me of an earlier time in the first century when Jesus was presented with perhaps a similar coin. He had been set-up by hypocritical evil
By Murray Smith, Senior Leader, Bridges Church
religious leaders who wanted to entrap Him and create an accusation before the controlling forces of Rome whose demanding tribute tax was just one feature of foreign occupation the Jews detested. Expecting Jesus to oppose the tax, they had devised a trick question to take Him down. “So tell us, then, what you think. Is it proper for us Jews to pay taxes to Caesar or not?” Jesus perceiving their entrapment, asked for a coin. When they handed him a Roman coin he asked, “Whose picture and title are stamped on it?” “Caesar’s,” they replied. “Well, then,” he said, “give to Caesar what belongs to Caesar, and give to God what belongs to God.” His reply amazed them, and they went away. Jesus overturned their plan to accuse Him as a rebellious leader of insurrection against Rome. Jesus’ words, as always are just as applicable to us today. We have civic obligations to respect and unlike harsh Roman tribute demands, we derive benefit from taxes we pay. But have you ever considered the meaning of ‘giving to God what belongs to God’? You see, the coin carried Caesar’s image - it conveyed an aspect of ownership - his tribute money. Similarly every human carries the image of God - that also conveys ownership…yet instead of claiming what He is entitled to, He waits for each of us to willingly offer.

Lobby group questions payments By Jeremy Smith
Te Awamutu Residents and Ratepayers Association chair Bernard Westerbaan has questioned aspects of Waipā District Council’s iwi engagement rationale as it looks to include them in its proposed shovel-ready projects. The News reported last week that Council budgeted to pay iwi up to eight percent of the $25.5 million cost of the proposed initiatives – a move highlighted by the New Zealand Taxpayers Union. The money has been allocated as a percentage of the total build costs for Covid-19 response projects –
an eight percent portion is up to $2 million. Of the proposed overall budget, $3.76m is set aside for council costs including iwi engagement, communications, governance and internal staff time. Mr Westerbaan felt that portion needed to be explained. “Are we not already paying for all of that through our rates?” Council has defended the proposed budget. The Council’s strategy and community services manager Debbie Lascelles has said the eight percent was not an across the board figure and would be assessed on a case
by case and project by project basis. She didn’t anticipate the eight percent being spent on every project. A union statement attributed to its executive director Jordan Williams said “…greasing up local iwi so they agree to shoo away taniwha wasn’t necessary, especially for minor cases like the Council’s proposal.” Mr Westerbaan agreed with that aspect of Mr Williams’ argument. “We would be paying for ‘removal’ of the taniwha. This isn’t justified.” Nine iwi - Nga Iwi Toopu o Waipa, Waikato Tainui, Ngāti Koroki Kahukura, Ngāti
Haua, Ngāti Maniapoto, Ngāti Raukawa, Ngāti Apakura, Ngāti Hikairo and Ngāti Mahanga are listed as being iwi Waipā District Council consults with. “Ratepayers are already paying for the input of iwi representation on Council. There are unelected iwi members on the four main committees. “And, Council has consulted with Nga Iwi Tōpu o Waipa for a long time,” Mr Westerbaan said. “The shovel ready projects have already been tagged and, I presume, designed and are waiting for the money to be spent. “Does this mean Council
has already included the eight percent?” Ms Lascelles though has contested not all the proposed projects are consented, nor are all the finer details known. She said many of the projects necessitated partnership and engagement with iwi and mana whenua to ensure Council meets its Treaty of Waitangi-related requirements under the Local Government Act. Iwi engagement may include actions such as codesign and governance of projects, assessment of cultural impacts and how these could be avoided or mitigated and monitoring projects to ensure they are

Bunnings goes, space for rent
By Jeremy Smith
A major retailer which shut up shop in Waipā last week is remaining tight-lipped on what will occupy the two sizeable retail spaces left vacant by its departure. The collective jobs of more than 50 staff at Bunnings Warehouse’s Cambridge and Te Awamutu stores officially ended last week after a month spent cleaning up the sites in preparation for the Australian-owned chain’s exit from the district. The doors of the two stores closed to the public in June. The company owns the buildings at its former Lake St Cambridge and Arawata St Te Awamutu sites, but not the land. The stores employed 25 and 27 staff respectively. A spokesperson approached by the News confirmed there
were “no updates” on the future of the sites, or what might happen to the buildings. “Our previous statement is still relevant,” they said. That previous statement was by Bunnings’ New Zealand director Jacqui Coombes. “We continue to review options for both of these sites and we’re working closely with the land owners throughout this process,” she told the News. Conjecture is rife in the two towns about businesses or firms which might move in. Rumours The Warehouse in Cambridge was looking to shift to the site were quelled by the company. Meanwhile, The Warehouse has in already signalled it wants to close Te Awamutu’s Warehouse Stationary outlet. It began a consultation process in June which threatens the Noel Leeming Henderson Clearance Centre and Tokoroa

Covid drives learning platform By Viv Posselt
A Te Awamutu-based education provider is on the cusp of launching a set of new learning modules developed as a direct result of the Covid-19 lockdown. Impact Tutoring, which is headed by former Pirongia School deputy principal and volunteer firefighter Jean McKenzie, is just weeks away from launching a new platform type of tutoring aimed at targeting specific areas of learning. Ten percent of what comes in from the sale of the modules will go towards
a unique award-winning programme that supports mathematics learning among young people who would otherwise struggle to afford it. The learning modules grew out of Impact Tutoring’s expanded online tuition delivered during lockdown and covering a wide range of subjects. They are aimed at targeting subjects that recur during the business’s other tutoring sectors. “Algebra would be just one example … essay writing techniques, plus wellbeing are others,” said Jean. “What

we are doing is making use of the extensive intellectual property that we have here and create online learning modules that people can purchase.” Jean started Impact Tutoring six years ago. She set it up after identifying a need in the area, certain it would knit together her interest in a more holistic delivery of education and a desire to run her own business. In January 2017, she added another initiative and started the non-profit Mathematics For a Lifetime Trust (MFAL), intended to transform the lives of

underprivileged young people using mathematics tuition as the vehicle. It is the only trust of its kind in New Zealand and has granted subsidies to numerous students across Auckland, Waikato, Waipā, Taupō and Taranaki. Both ventures have gone on to win top regional awards and are attracting enquiries from as far afield as Christchurch, Nelson and Gisborne. Jean is a long-time believer that mathematics is the poor cousin of literacy in New Zealand, and that lives can be transformed if young people have access to numeracy tuition. The interactive learning modules will be delivered by a group of ‘authors’; others are keen to come on board.
“We started developing the platform about halfway through lockdown. One thing that became apparent through that time was that parents became more comfortable with supporting children with their online learning. Most kids were already confident in that space and knew it could be helpful.” The modules will expand opportunities to learn online and offer flexibility. Jean said they are intended to fill learning gaps, cover students who might miss classes or who would benefit from revision in a particular subject, and could be useful for those needing to pick up subjects for a return to study. Covid-19 forced new ways of looking at delivering

education, she said. “We had to make a quick pivot to enable us to move our targeted learning online. I had an amazing team to deliver that, and support from the government meant families were equipped to receive the tuition.”
Council opts for tree fund A Council fund has been set up to help Waipā landowners maintain protected trees on privately-owned land. Under the former Tree Policy, Waipā District Council managed the inspection and maintenance of 98 protected trees. Legal liability for the trees has always been with owners but historically the Council organised inspections and maintenance on behalf of the community. This week the council opted to set up a $50,000 Protected Tree Fund, which will be refreshed annually, to cover maintenance costs. A small number of owners had opposed the Fund, saying Council should bear
responsibility for the trees on private land. An original proposal to cap financial support at $2500 a tree each year was removed after discussions with landowners. Community Services Manager Sally Sheedy said the decision meant landowners could arrange the inspection and maintenance of protected trees on their own property themselves and Council would pick up the costs for work that meets a set criteria. Over the last three years, Council has spent an average of $51,678 on protected tree maintenance and inspections. There are now 20 fewer protected trees in the district to maintain, following changes to the District Plan.

Keep those books coming… By Viv Posselt
Even as the tables creak under the weight of books already in, the message from organisers of the 2020 Te Awamutu Rotary Book Fair is clear – keep them coming. That’s because they know how fast they’re likely to go this year, particularly given that the 2020 fair will run over eight days as opposed to the three or four of previous years. Rotary Book Fair convenor Laurel Smith said as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic
the 2020 fair was moved from its early June slot. It will now be held from August 22 to August 29 at a new venue – 363 Alexandra St, the premises previously occupied by Dave Gibson’s Locksmith and Gunshop. “This is our first year here, and although it’s a smaller location than we have used in the past, it has the advantage of being in the main street. We made a record $14,000 last year, and we’d really like to top that this year.” The event has become a popular fundraiser for Te Awamutu Rotary. Proceeds
go to a range of projects and causes the club supports, among them the Te Awamutu Competitions Society, Kainga Aroha’s summer camp, the Waipā Youth Awards, the National Science & Technology Forum, Rotary Youth Leadership Awards, Rotary’s exchange programmes and the club’s annual scholarship to a Waikato University student. The club also gives two big boxes of books to hospital children’s wards. The range of books already in is extensive – from gardening, cooking, life stories, fiction, crafts, children’s books, history and more. Those in the New Zealand category are always particularly popular, said Laurel. The team is looking for more of the same, as well as CDs and DVDs and jigsaw puzzles. The more they have in stock, the easier it will be to refill the tables as books sell. What organisers don’t want are books
TE AWAMUTU NEWS | 7
in bad shape, magazines, Reader’s Digest books, records or videos. The fair will be open from 10am to 4pm each day. Books will be sold at $3 each or $10 for 4, and on the last day of the fair, banana boxes of books will go for $10 a box. Books not sold will also go to a good cause; many are collected by Waikeria Prison librarian Leigh Gilson for use in the prison libraries. Laurel said community response to earlier calls for books had been excellent and said further donations would be accepted right up to the fair itself. Books and other items can be dropped off at 363 Alexandra St (from 9am-11am on Monday, Wednesday and Friday), and at Mega Mitre 10 Te Awamutu during their hours of opening. Questions can be directed to Laurel Smith on 027 618 4454.

Our morning and evening TV is relaying to us scenes and horrific numbers of Covid-related sadness from the State of Victoria, where it is clear that our Aussie cousins do not, generally, take kindly to repressive demands ‘from above’. That’s more especially so when ‘above’ is the state government, working with apparent little help from the federal government. That more senior body appears to have scant hope of expecting the long border between Victoria and New South Wales to be intact against the incursion of the virus. In a similar vein I have always been amused (and perhaps bemused) by the well-known fact that the Australian fruit fly completely understands when it reaches a state border and turns back for home. A major Australian hardware store has the temerity to announce their right to be an essential service. Lest we get too harsh on our criticism of that fact,let us not forget that there was a half-hearted attempt by a string of New Zealand stores with very bright painted walls which tried that trick in the early stages of the (then) rapidly growing

Covid numbers here. Which then turns us to demands from those – on both sides of ‘the ditch’ - to open up borders for a trans-Tasman bubble. Somewhere there are a large number of people with an amazing shortage of brains. Either we hold fast or we may as well speak Portuguese and pretend we are in Brazil. The very real threat of a second phase is alarming enough without the un-needed relaxation of the parameters that the government have, quite correctly, arraigned around us all. The fact that 30,000 or more people can enter a stadium is in itself a manifestly celebratory sign that our hard work and personal stickability has worked and continues in that vein. Just watch Eden Park this weekend for what will essentially be the ‘Aotearoa’ rugby final showdown between two highly skilled and competitive teams who, along with the others in that competition, have taken our national winter sport up to a level never perceived before. They are achieving such a skill level that flying across the Tasman (or to South Africa) if this were allowed

Six of the worst for Te Awamutu
Te Awamutu was on the wrong end of one of two 6-1 score-lines in WaiBop premier league football last weekend. And the side hosts the winner of the other lop-sided scoring match, Otumoetai, this weekend. Ōtorohanga stayed in the top three with a win at Matamata, but Papamoa look certain to win the league after notching their eighth win on the trot. The Reds were left short on the park after fronting with 13 players and losing three to injury at Ngaruawahia. The home side led 2-1 at half time, with Gareth Webb’s debut goal for the club representing the best of Te Awamutu’s efforts. But it was all uphill in the second half as keeper Josh Peterson worked bravely to keep
the score down. Inevitably the home team took the advantage and scored four further goals in quick succession. The loss leaves Te Awamutu still second last on the table, ahead of West Hamilton. The two clubs are still looking for their first wins of the season. Other results – Tauranga 4 Waiariki 4, Otumoetai 6 West Hamilton Utd 1, Matamata 1 Otorohanga 3, Waikato Unicol 3 Taupo Men’s 1, Papamoa 5 Huntly1. Saturday’s clash kicks off at the Stadium Te Awamutu, at 2.45pm. Stand-in managers Simon Brdanovic and Doug Jenkins had the Edmonds Judd TA Men’s C Team playing its best football of the year in an entertaining 2-2 draw at Claudelands Rovers.
The team could have had an early lead through Hasmukh Ratnam, but it was a pair of Dane Mitchell strikes that had TA well in control. It all went wrong near the end though, as Alec McKenzie conceded a pair of own goals. The Team hosts Putaruru Rangers on Saturday. The Young Te Awamutu D Dive Team made a strong come back this with a convincing win of 9-1 against Claudelands Rovers Newbies. The scorers were Fynn Prutton 4, Bradley Egglestone 3, Jamie Bell and Thomas Horrox. The team is away to Unicol this weekend. Sunday saw the Te Awamutu club’s two women’s team go head to head in their League playoff. The Edmonds Judd side beat the Pink Ladies 4-1 with goals to Danielle Brdanovic, 3, and Chantal Fur. The
Pink Ladies grabbed a consolation with five minutes to go through Samantha Kietzman. Next week Edmonds Judd Women are at home to Ngaruawahia and the Pink Ladies are at Gower Park playing Melville Epics.

Marist next for gallant Sports By Justin Miezenbeek
Defending champions Hautapu’s lethal counter attacking backs proved to be the difference as they beat Te Awamutu Sports 43-12 in Waikato premier rugby last weekend. Sports, looking to end a run of losses, have Hamilton
Marist next up. Tries to winger Ishmail Shabazz and hooker Shaun Rumbles in the second spell were complemented with a Logan Karl conversion for Sports in Cambridge, and they were right in the contest at half time, trailing 15-0. But a lethargic start to the second half cost them again as
Premier B centre Karne Hesketh was a constant threat in their 40-29 loss to Hautapu
Hautapu raced out to a 29-0 lead. Some slick work down the left wing put flanker Matthew Towers in space, drawing the last man to put Shabazz in while Rumbles was the guiding hand from a rolling maul to take Sports second try. Heading into the last quarter of the game, Sports were trailing 36-12 before the game turned into a messy trench fight, with niggly play and penalties dominating before Hautapu scored deep in injury time to close the match. Sports head off to Hamilton to take on Hamilton Marist in the final game of season 2020 next week. Hamilton Marist took out both matches last season, Sports opening up with a 56-36 loss in a wild back and forth match at Marist Park, rookie winger Queyst Michael-Tapu starring with a hat-trick of tries along with Andrew Christie and Kieran Westlake, Logan Karl adding four conversions and a penalty goal to record an encouraging start to the
THURSDAY AUGUST 6, 2020
season. They met again in the second round at Albert Park and after a terrible performance the week prior against University, put together a much better performance, ultimately giving the visitors a shock and, save a few missed chances could have netted a different result. Tries to Gordon Fullerton, Andrew Christie and Wium Mostert with a conversion and penalty goal to Awa Morris rounding out the scoring. The availability carousel continued for Sports, with Tairoa Crean and J’ndre Liebenberg back in the side, but Shauncy Waho, Kieran Westlake, Carl Finlay Bailey Oliedam and Terrance Croonen were all unavailable in a recurring theme of the last few weeks. They will be hoping to have a few more players back next week to round out the season, a strong performance a perfect cap to an extremely encouraging yet up and down season.
Old Boys do Hautapu a favour
High School Old Boys started July with losses to Te Awamutu, Marist and Morrinsville – but have stunned Waikato senior rugby competition leaders Hautapu and Otorohanga in the last two weeks. Last weekend’s win over Otorohanga has put Hautapu in pole position to claim the Haswell Catley trophy on Saturday. The current top four square off on Saturday in the last series of games in the round – Hautapu host Melville and Otorohanga is home to Fraser Tech. Otorohanga lost 25-24 at home to Old Boys last weekend while Hautapu won 43-19 against Te Awamutu Sports.

In the Girls’ Premier Division, Te Awamutu College didn’t look threatened in their game against St Pauls Collegiate.
