Brigade’s lockdown bonus further afield when required. Its rural character means they attend a wide range of emergencies, and there was little slowing down during lockdown. While traffic crashes dropped off during that period, training continued and brigade members responded to a raft of other incidences, including rubbish and vegetation fires, medical and rescue calls, structure and vehicle fires, fallen trees and a number of

The Te Awamutu Volunteer Fire Brigade has ticked off a few unexpected plusses that came out of the initial Covid-19 lockdown period. Not only have they been recording a higher-than-usual level of interest from volunteers, with 10 new members undergoing training, but they are also enjoying more robust levels of health than in previous years. Both could be linked to the Covid pandemic, says brigade fire chief Ian Campbell. “At this point, we have hit our ceiling in terms of numbers,” he said. “That is because we’ve seen the highest level of interest from volunteers in probably a decade. It could be that people are becoming more aware of the roles played by volunteer services such as ours and see a real value to their community in being part of it? Whatever the reason, it’s fantastic to see.” Members are a healthier bunch, too, Ian suggested. “There hasn’t been as much sickness in our brigade as in previous years, particularly during winter. We think it’s probably due to the stringent Covid-linked hygiene protocols we adopted which have kept our members and their families as safe as possible during this time. We’re keeping those protocols going.” Te Awamutu is right up there among the busiest brigades in the country, and Ian said was the busiest in the Waikato. Its 36 members cover Te Awamutu and the surrounding area, Ohaupo, Pirongia and Tokanui, and often go
what turned out to be false alarms. “We take our resources where they’re needed,” said deputy fire chief Karl Tutty. “Much of what we do, particularly during winter, is weather-related…storms, downed trees and so on.” Training new recruits is rigorous and takes time, as national standard processes must be adhered to. Those coming on board are fully invested in the brigade, ready to give their time to
both weekly training sessions and callouts as and when they occur. “There are a lot of roles, and some of those are administrative rather than active … things like fire safety and education. A huge amount goes on behind the scenes,” said Ian. The brigade marked the end of the long lockdown about a month ago with a family evening cum quiz night. “We place great value in those
events,” said Ian. “It’s important for people to realise that we’re able to do this pretty much because there are supportive partners and families behind our members. We try to regularly recognise that family support - without it, we simply couldn’t do what we do. “It’s also important for people to remember that we’re volunteers … we are no different from any other frontline service. Sometimes that gets forgotten.”

The Greenness of People The greenness of things examined by Peter Matthews in the August 6 issue is thought provoking, thank you Peter, but planting trees to replace pasture and sequester or lock carbon is one of the biggest haves in the world. A child’s drawing of a tree with its trunk branches leaves and fruit, may include a perching bird and even a nest. With insects and other forms of life the picture is an ecosystem. Kids and grown-ups alike may not realise that the ecosystem above ground is mirrored below ground in the root zone. Locking carbon in wood is as short-sighted as the lifecycle of a tree and impossible because sequestered carbon has no lifecycle. Carbon is locked in the soil that surrounds plant roots, not in plant tissue. Plant roots exude a substance called glomalin, producing humus. Humus encapsulates carbon to exclude oxygen so that carbon dioxide cannot form. Pasture locks far more soil carbon per hectare than forest because forest is a laid-back system whereas grazed pasture has multiple vigorous cycles annually. The population size and number of different soil organisms and glomalin elicitors in pasture far exceeds that of forest. Pasture is an ecosystem that depends mostly on grazing animals that depend on pasture that depends on grazing etc. Extensive strip grazing practiced on NZ farms reproduces this ecosystem in contrast to animals raised intensively oversees on concrete feedlots fed arable farmed grain. Ecologically, a human biome fed on machine extruded “vegetarian meat” seems hardly the way forward. How appropriate that you went to a fast food outlet for that stuff Peter, sold along with other non-food items that leave people full but malnourished and craving satisfaction. A packed lunch, vegetarian or not, would be greener. Nick Empson, Te Awamutu
Covid book Briefs… Lotto win a winner The Waikato Civil Defence Emergency Management has won two awards in the Gourmand World Cookbook Awards for The Mighty Waikato Cookbook, created during Covid lockdown. The Mighty Cookbook has won awards for the categories of Food Books Fighting Covid and Sustainable Books and now competes for “Best in the World” in those categories at a ceremony in 2021. More than 40 restaurants and cafes contributed recipes to the cookbook, and more than $10,000 was raised towards Momentum Waikato and Wise Group’s community kitchen. The book can still be bought for a donation and downloaded at mightywaikatocookbook.co.nz. Donations are pay what you can, from as little as $5 to as much as you feel you can give.
A ticket sold at Te Awamutu’s Paper Plus won its owner $29,230 this week. The prizemoney was part of a four-way split between ticket holders who made their buys in Hāwera and Auckland.
Conservation Week
New Zealanders are being encouraged to look at nature through new eyes during Conservation Week 2020, which ends on Sunday. Conservation Week is an annual event led by the Department of Conservation (DOC), and this year’s focus is on the well-being benefits of spending time in nature, DOC Director General Lou Sanson said.
Waipā finalist
Cambridge is in the running to win two categories in the 2020 Keep New Zealand Beautiful Awards - Best Main Street and Most Beautiful Large Town.
Event off
The Te Ruru Light Festival, planned for Hamilton Gardens tomorrow has been cancelled because of Covid. Thousands of visitors from all over the Waikato were expected at the family friendly event. Organiser Luke McConnell said it was a tough call to cancel “but it is an event for the public, so we had to think about the public’s best interest.”
Back to zoom meets Waipā District Council and committee meetings are being carried out both in person and virtually this week with the shift to Alert Level 2. Waipā mayor Jim Mylchreest said to maintain physical distancing measures, only
nine councillors or committee members would attend each meeting in person, others would join by zoom. “The remaining councillors or committee members will join meetings via Zoom, allowing us to adhere to
Alert Level 2 guidelines. Meetings can be accessed via the agendas and minutes page on council’s website at waipadc.govt.nz/livestream. Recordings can be seen at youtube.com/user/ WaipaDC/videos.
On the beat Great catch, Main Street retailers with Ryan Fleming
This week I would like to share two incidents that highlight just how effective Neighbourhood Support is. The first was a shoplifter caught thanks to eagle eyed retailers who acted quickly. Police responded to a call about a shoplifter on the main street of Te Awamutu. Police staff had located the suspect quickly with assistance of the informant. Police then contacted the shop keeper who had great security footage of the theft. They then directed police to another store. Police then visited the second store and discovered they were also victims of shoplifting. That store directed police to a thrd store where the owner said they were lucky enough not be victims, but they did a great job of observing the offender in their store then watching the offender go into
other shops on Alexander Street, keeping her fellow shop keepers safe. They watched the offender on the main street until they left the CBD. With the help of those great observation skills police found the stolen items at the rear of a building, near the CBD. Further investigation revealed there were further victims. Police were able to return the property quickly to the victims. This gave Police a great chance to discuss prevention measures with the businesses. It was great to see that shop keepers on the main street watch out for each other, nd communicate with each other - and call us in a timely fashion. The second was a burglary where a male was seen by a neighbour entering a house through a window. The neighbour
rang 111 and as a result another burglar was arrested in the act. After an extensive amount of paperwork we had the offender remanded in custody until his next appearance before the court. It’s simple people, ring 111 if you see suspicious behaviour. We have had a spate of car thefts recently and we are working on lines of enquire to identify the offenders. Please take some precautions - don’t leave valuables in plain sight in your car, use alarms if possible and most importantly, if you see or hear something that’s not right, call 111. We can’t be everywhere at once and we do rely on you good people to tell us what’s going on. See story Page 4

The winners were…
The Waipā Youth Awards took an unusual turn for their 18th year – because of the Covid disruptions they were announced online, rather than at a public ceremony. The annual awards, which celebrate the achievements of 14 to 18-year-olds who live or have attended school in Waipā, cover academia, arts and culture, community service, leadership and sport. This year they attracted 109 nominations and from that 65 awards were handed out. In place of an awards night, head students from Te Awamutu College, Cambridge High School and St Peter’s, Cambridge featured in a video announcing the top award winners. Today we celebrate some of Waipā’s finest and most promising young people.
Our most excellent people…
Charlisse Leger-Walker St Peter’s, Cambridge Charlisse Leger-Walker is the excellence winner of two categories – Sport and Multi-Achiever. The former student of St Peter’s, Cambridge last year balanced her position as New Zealand’s youngest Tall Fern with Head Girl responsibilities, international sport commitments and a demanding academic programme. New Zealand basketball awarded her Lance McLoughlin Trophy as Female Junior Player of the year for the third year in a row. Charlisse was the captain of the school’s highperforming Premier Girls’ Basketball team for two years. In her five years at St Peter’s, the team made five national grand finals and won four titles. She was recognised as the supreme Sportswoman of the Year at the school’s end-of-year senior prizegiving. Off court she produced outstanding results academically, with excellence endorsements across all NCEA levels. She was also selected for a top university in the USA.
Bert Downs – Te Awamutu College Te Awamutu College’s Bert Downs, 17, is the excellence winner of the academic category in the Waipā Youth Awards. As a Year 12 student he was named Te Awamutu College 2019 Dux Litterarum — the school’s top academic student. He passed NCEA levels 2 and 3 with excellence and was first in class in Digital Technologies, Electronics, Calculus, Accounting and Physics (all NCEA Level 3). He also received an NZQA Scholarship award for Physics and Technology. Bert won the senior category for the nationwide Skills Bright Sparks competition for young inventors. He also found time to give back to Te Awamutu College, volunteering as an academic mentor to other students. He was also involved in the school’s senior band, the school council and was the chairperson of the Hokioi Committee (school magazine).
Ella Higgins – Cambridge High School Ella Higgins is the excellence winner of the leadership category in the Waipā Youth Awards. Her outstanding personal attributes and leadership skills saw her elected by students and staff as the school’s head girl in 2019. Ella was also co-chairperson of the Senior Student Executive Leadership group and won the Ziman Cup for Best All Round Year 13 Girl, Waipā District Council Service to the Community Award and Waipā District Youth Awards 2019 (Excellence in Community Service). Cambridge High School Principal Greg Thornton said Ella was a wonderful role model to others in the school. “Ella can be relied upon to be a person with high personal integrity. She is always punctual, immaculately dressed, and presents herself with confidence. Her courteous, engaging demeanour ensures she easily earns the confidence and respect of others.”
Molly Robinson – St Peter’s Cambridge Molly Robinson has been recognised for her outstanding achievements in dance. In 2019 she was selected for the Intensive Training Programme for Dance Masters International and was finalist in the Dance Masters International Passion Awards in Auckland. She attended the National Coaching Programme for AGA Ballet Academy in Christchurch and was a regional finalist in the Asian Grand Prix International Ballet Competition and invited to the finals in Hong Kong. Molly’s dancing took her overseas – she was selected for summer ballet school at the Central School of Ballet in London. Molly was the Te Awamutu Competition Society Local Senior Ballet Scholarship winner. She achieved Distinction for all her Senior Ballet, Contemporary and Jazz dance exams in 2019. Molly has been accepted into National Theatre Ballet School, Melbourne for a Diploma of Dance (Elite Performance), which she now attends.

Students back to fine fare
New Kiwis must wait
Te Awamutu College hospitality students got back to doing what they do best when they catered and served lunch to the Te Rahu branch of Rural Women New Zealand. Last week’s three-course lunch was first event out of the traps for the level two and three students since the end of the long Covid-19 lockdown a couple of months ago. Maree Letford, head of the school’s home economics department, said the pandemic restrictions had curtailed the students’ normal programme, and it was good to have an opportunity for them to get back to catering a function from start to finish. The lunch was held in the purpose-built facility on-site at the college 18 years ago. “We do dinners here as well as lunches but haven’t been able to do much with the Covid restrictions. This is our first since lockdown.” The 18 students involved in the lunch are working towards their NCEA credits in hospitality; seven handled front-of-house, while 11 were involved in cooking. Maree said the 45 students taking the programme also take their skills into the
The latest Waipā citizenship ceremony has been been become another Covid casualty. The welcome was to be held last Friday 14 for Waipā residents who became New Zealand citizens after the nation went into lockdown. Waipā District Council’s mayor Jim Mylchreest said the cancellation of the function was unfortunate but necessary. “We were looking forward to hosting a welcome function for our new citizens who were unable to join us due to the previous Covid-19 restrictions. We aim to hold this at another time, however the safety of our community remains a top priority.” “We were expecting approximately 100 people to attend on Friday and we could not provide the necessary social distancing at the venue so we decided to postpone this event and will look at rescheduling once the nation returns to Alert Level 1.” Citizenship ceremonies were suspended by the Department of Internal Affairs at Alert Levels 4, 3 and 2. Waipā District Council plans to host regular welcome functions every 2-3 months for new residents to Waipā.

community. She said the qualification offers students the ability to work part time while studying something else if they want, it offers them skills that can support future travel plans, and it carves out careers in the
sector, such as that of former Te Awamutu College student and top Kiwi chef Ben Bayly. After winning the Waikato Senior Schools Culinary Challenge last year, two of the school’s hospitality students went on to win the
coveted National Secondary Schools Culinary Challenge. Ilisa Folau and Alyssa King, both then 16, were named the winners in 2019 after beating out six other teams and winning several prizes, including a Blue Seal
Gas oven for the school’s hospitality training facility. “We have won the regionals three times in the past, but until last year were pipped to the post at the nationals,” said Maree. “That was a great win for us.”

BOARD REPORT
THE AGE OF REASON
Parking - by the numbers
Dealing with Covid, again
The highlight of this month’s community board meeting was the delivery of the parking management update by the manager of transportation Bryan Hudson. As one of the areas that we have advocated for on behalf of the community we were pleased to see progress made toward resolving some of the parking issues. We have 1406 including 15 accessible (disability) spaces on street parks in town and 68 per cent of these have no time restrictions. There are an additional 505 spaces and 18 accessible spaces off street with 85 per cent having no time restrictions. As part of the parking investigation council undertook a survey of our parking habits. This highlighted over an entire day on-street parking occupancy was 54 per cent, with 29 per cent of those being all day. Offstreet carparks 74 per cent occupancy rate with 42 per cent being all day. However, at peak times, the main street and side streets are above 90 per cent utilisation. The council, Churchill Street and Vaile (TA Medical Centre) Street carparks are 100 per cent full. There is a desire by council to encourage people to walk, cycle or use public transport rather than providing more parking spaces. As a community board we do support this way of thinking to a point. With a future of driverless cars and new technology we need to be aware that a huge carpark or carpark building may become redundant sooner than you think. We do not want to be supporting spending rates on this kind of infrastructure. This still does not address the short to medium term issue. We do not have cycleways around town
The return to Covid-dominated reality strikes home in different ways. A number of retirement village related addresses I was due to give last, this and next week in Rotorua, Auckland and Wellington have all been terminated, or at best postponed. Yesterday my wife, trying to return home from Wellington, found a three-day gap between planes – and just managed to squeeze onto a northbound bus as far as Taupo, albeit with strict distancing controlling an empty seat alongside. That necessitated me driving to Taupo to permit her to complete the journey to Cambridge. Yes folks, the buses too are running on thin timetables. The only bonus of this exercise was the chance to use a superbly sunny day to contemplate a Sunday view of our delightful Waikato countryside devoid of large view-restricting trucks. But the drive gave me the opportunity to contemplate the current scenario where the elderly will once again be shepherded, the police will man the borders and social distancing will resume. I guess one of the bonuses of this second round is that people are realising, at long last, that the yellow app on their mobile phones is de rigeur. Yet in our regular coffee shop in Cambridge on Friday I watched three separate males deliberately ignoring the sign in procedure - both on the yellow poster and the clearly available sign-in page. These were all men of a mature age who should have known better. There are always idiots in every societal group – as witnessed by the appalling Auckland behaviour at the weekend with visits to Waiheke and various beaches. In the main with a major lack of social distancing and nary a mask in sight. They should

for safe cycling or any suitable public transport within town, or to and from Kihikihi. Meaning that for the meantime most people working in town will continue to drive. The option chosen will increase time restriction parking coverage to manage parking demand and to standardise time restrictions. This will also include more parking enforcement (yes tickets) and quality issues such as footpaths, accessibility, lighting and signage. Standardisation of times restrictions will be: P60 for the main street, P120 for the side streets, P5 for load zones, P10 public toilet, school pick up/drop off and near bus stops. The off-street car parks will have some P60 and P120 spaces as well. Community Board were supportive of this outcome, as some of these initiatives were in our annual plan recommendations to council. Unfortunately, as budgets have been trimmed due to Covid-19 the additional funds required to make these changes in the immediate future are not available. Hence there is no start date decided. The other key aspect of our meeting was the appointment of community liaisons to better work with the community. The people listed will be your point of contact and they also will touch base with your organisation or group from time to time to see if we can be of service.

possibly be shipped to Melbourne or the beaches of England where such poor standard behaviour appears to prevail. Come on everyone – there is an expected standard of sensible behaviour thrust upon all of us regardless of where we think the centre of virus activity is taking place. One of the new breed of Waipa District Council councillors spoke at our village 10 days ago on changes happening to our lovely town. He is forthright - and at least one of the Cambridge-based councillors who actually speaks at the council table. His eloquent description of the residential growth clearly brought home to people that any thoughts of being treated as a pleasant village to visit will disappear. Still pleasant though but numerically Cambridge will have the right to claim city status very shortly. This will alarm many who cling fondly to dreams of days past but, like it or not, progress moves us on. But progress needs to be matched with balancing infrastructure. The bridge issue will not just go away. Our council will fudge and wriggle as long as it likes but it is time for urgent action. There is a very good independent engineer’s traffic flow plan sitting with the council (and has been for a number of years). This restricts traffic on the High Bridge and frustrates the appalling rush hour rat-run through the town including some choice residential streets. Time to shape up, be brave and balance the beautification with some real lifeimproving decisions.

Shoplifting continues Bee-plus for Aidan to cost millions By Viv Posselt
Waipā retail outlets are as susceptible to increasing shoplifting losses as anywhere else in the country and supermarket owners are doing what they can to remain on top of the problem. Police have reported an increase in theft in Waipā from June 2019-20, including in retail theft. Millions of dollars continue to be lost nationwide, and stores are working closely with police to stem the flow. NZ Police’s Waikato West area prevention manager, Senior Sergeant David Hall, encouraged retailers to report this type of offending to police. “Not only does it give us the opportunity to identify and hold those responsible to account, but it also provides data to help us identify crime trends. We use this information to decide when and where to deploy staff.” He said police could also offer prevention advice to retailers, which might include positioning the cash register near the entry, positioning shelving in one direction so as to give a clear view down aisles, using large mirrors, and displaying smaller merchandise closer to the register. However, it is not always small items that the thieves are after, said
FreshChoice Leamington’s owner/ operator, Richard Jacobsen, citing a recent case where legs of lamb were stolen, apparently because the thief believed they were ‘too expensive’. “That clearly wasn’t a case of need.” He said retail thieves were not always the kind of individuals people think they are – “they’re seldom the people who are really desperate. They’re more likely to be habitual thieves, ‘professional shoplifters’ … people usually known to police.” Supermarkets in Cambridge and Te Awamutu confirm that shoplifting is an ever-present problem. Logan McKenzie, Cambridge New World owner/operator said because of shoplifting, prevention costs are inevitably passed on to customers, “making it a lose-lose situation for everyone”. “We go to great lengths to prevent it. We use a number of measures to keep stock loss to a minimum.” A spokesperson for Countdown said their stores had a range of security measure in place, including CCTV, security tagging, supervisors at check-outs and security guards. James Clark of FreshChoice in Te Awamutu said the incidence of shoplifting at his store, where a comprehensive CCTV system was
in place, appeared fairly static. “Most of our attention is after the fact. We put images of the shoplifter on Facebook and so far, that has identified the person. Then we lay a complaint with the police.” Mike Goble, owner/operator at Te Awamutu’s Pak ‘n Save said shoplifting was always present within the industry, and he continued to take measures to curtail it. Some appeared frustrated with restrictions which limited the actions on-site security personnel could take when confronting an incident. Richard Jacobsen said it was an “unusual situation” that when someone is stealing your possessions, “you can become the criminal when you try to stop them”, while James Clark said in-store security personnel did not have powers to detain anyone against their will. New Zealand Security Association CEO Gary Morrison said retail security officers employed by supermarkets and large retailers could be more proactive than mall security staff, but as a rule, did not engage in “excessive force” or chase an offender once they had left the store. He said storeowners should request police assistance if the situation requires it.

Councillors turn water reform tap on Waipā district councillors want to opt into the Crown’s Three Water Service Reform, which brings funding streams – but also an option to opt out. The council’s service delivery committee this week unanimously agreed to be part of the reform through a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Crown. The Three Waters Reform aims to improve the safety and quality of drinking water services and the environmental performance of drinking water and wastewater systems across the country. Chief executive Garry Dyet said signing the MoU would open up significant funding for water infrastructure. “Agreeing to participate in these discussions means we will be able to access $6.82 million without it having a flow-on effect for our residents. This is funding that we otherwise would not have access to which can be put towards maintenance and operations for the
district immediately.” The agreement follows work undertaken over a three-year period between central and local government to address shortages and underinvestment in the three waters delivery model. New legislation and the creation of Taumata Arowai, a new water services regulator, has already resulted from this work. The reform also aims to move water infrastructure funding to a more financially stable footing, addressing affordability and capability shortages faced by many smaller councils. The government has indicated its starting option favours a multi-regional approach, where smaller councils could benefit from economies of scale by associating with neighbouring councils on similar interests and issues. Local government is responsible for investing in and delivering their own three waters infrastructure, which makes up a large proportion of water
and property rates, Dyet said. “Waipā has invested heavily into our waters infrastructure over many generations and we need to be at the table to make sure that the final outcome takes this into account. We will consider all options put forward to help alleviate the impact on our ratepayers.” Participating in the initial stages of the three waters reform will be undertaken in good faith, with an option to ‘opt out’ without penalty at the end of the agreement term. “If we do opt out at the end of that term, it would mean any additional funding opportunities would also be lost,” Dyet said. At the September service delivery committee, elected members will receive a delivery plan of how funding would be applied in Waipā, outlining how it intends to support economic recovery through job creation and maintaining, increasing and/or accelerating investment in core water infrastructure renewal and maintenance.

New book for diehard thrill seeker
NEW CAFE IN TOWN
quickly that dark crime thrillers would be what did it for her. The darker the better, it seems, although she eschews explicit Nikki Crutchley is an unlikely a crime writer as you might and gratuitous gore, opting rather for the thriller aspect and imagine. She’s a charming, wide-eyed and devoted mum of questions around what might have led her protagonists into two daughters, a butter-wouldn’t-melt-in-the mouth type. committing such heinous crimes. Yet here she is, an ardent reader and professional proofer Now, with her third novel poised to launch, Nikki is who readily admits to “wanting to kill people” in her drafts, utterly comfortable in her wordsmith skin and is excited at an author who when trying to define her genre, knew fairly where her lust for murder mysteries might take her. Nikki is releasing The Murder Club early next month. It’s the second in a series following the story of journalist Miller Hatcher – the first, Nothing Bad Happens Here, was a finalist in the Ngaio Marsh Book Awards for the best first novel in 2018, and has attracted the attention of a New Zealand television producer eager to bring it to the small screen. Her second book, No One Can Hear You, was long-listed last year for the same awards in the best novel category. Unsure as to what’s around the corner for Miller and crew, she said: “I don’t think I am quite done with them yet”. She is currently working on a fourth book, one she describes as a psychological thriller, a crime mystery she hopes will appeal to the international market. Nikki was born in Cambridge, then moved to Matamata and Ōtorohanga, where she did most of her schooling. Her parents, Brian and Chris Tappenden, were great readers and a young Nikki wrote her first ‘novella’ at about 11. “It took up about four exercise books…I just went on and on,” she laughed, saying she had crafted much of the England-based storyline from her favourites at the time, Anne of Green Gables and Little Women. She was also reading material like To Kill a Mockingbird and The Diary of Anne Frank, then moved into reading Patricia Cornell, Stephen King and James Patterson. Nikki Crutchley with the new novel she will launch formally at Paper Plus They all helped lay the groundwork before Nikki Cambridge on September 2 from 5.30pm. stopped thinking about it, did an English and sociology degree through Waikato University, then travelled overseas and set up home in Oxford with her now husband, Simon. On coming home, she did a diploma in library and information studies and found herself taking up roles with various institutions before quitting some eight years ago to start her own proofreading business. By then, Nikki and Simon had two girls, Cate and Abbie. “It was the girls who got me back into writing,” she said. “I wrote a few fairy stories for them when they were little. That kick-started it all again.” Today, Nikki infuses her family’s input into her work. with mention of this advert “I put at least six months of work into planning a novel, and often ask the girls Luxe & Co - 79 Kihikihi St, Te Awamutu, about the characters, their names and so or call our friendly team on (07) 870 6461 on. And Simon reads all my work as well.

A Covid rugby final
The Waikato club rugby final will be a Covid-affected clash on Saturday. What would normally be the highlight of finals day at Waikato Stadium will be a home game for reigning champions Hautapu, who host Ōtorohanga at Memorial Park on Saturday afternoon. Covid restrictions, limiting gatherings to 100 people, will apply and there will be security on the gates. Hautapu qualified for the final with a 27-14 win over Melville while Ōtorohanga prevented a repeat of last year’s final by beating Fraser Tech 37-22. The Cambridge club, in its first season under coach Sean Hohneck, completed the Haswell Catley round robin with seven wins from eight – its shock loss to High School Old Boys on July 11 was its first in two seasons. Ōtorohanga lost twice in the round robin – to High School Old Boys and Hautapu on July 25. Hohneck, who won the Waikato Breweries Shield as a player with Fraser Tech, predicts a tight game which will be won up front in what is likely to be testing conditions.
“The teams are evenly matched, they finished first and second on the ladder and that’s a fair reflection,” he said. “They have strong forwards and play good running rugby and so do we.” He welcomed the decision to move the game to Memorial Park as it would allow some supporters from both clubs in. Last weekend’s matches at FMG Stadium was played in front of empty stands and there was no atmosphere. He will be without Luke Jacobson and there will be some late calls on a couple of other players – but his main frustration was, as with most weeks, losing many players to Waikato training. It means the team has one full training together ahead of the final – and that will be tonight. In the King Country social media support for Ōtorohanga was running high this week as a club facebook poll suggested 92 per cent of supporters were picking their team to win. The poll prompted a friendly riposte from a Hautapu fan who suggested the poll might be “a bit rigged” – but also wished Ōtorohanga luck and predicted a tough game played with great sportsmanship.
Prevention is better than cure. How important is your health to you?
S
o often today, people wait until they are in trouble before seeking help for their health - waiting until they have pain, restricted movement, headaches etc then making a visit to a chiropractor, GP, physiotherapist, naturopath or massage therapist. The problem with this is that by the time the body exhibits symptoms, it has more than likely been under ‘stress’ for some time already. Symptoms are the body’s way of crying out for help and more often than not, people confuse these symptoms with the actual problem. The symptom isn’t the problem. Sure, it is the thing that annoys or upsets you because it is interfering with the way you function, but something else has to be causing that symptom or dysfunction of a joint. Pressure on
the nervous system leads to altered functional ability of the body and, more often than not, some form of pain. Don’t be the person who waits for the symptoms to arrive then rushes to a health professional looking for that ‘quick fix’ or ‘miracle cure’! Be that person who is proactive and gets healthy and stays healthy. Exercise, eat clean and healthy food, drink plenty of water, get adequate rest and visit your chosen health professional on a regular basis. It is far easier to keep something working well than to fix something that is broken. Just as you service your car regularly, do the same with your body. Want to know how King Country Chiropractic can help you get healthy and stay healthy? Call us today for a chat.

Last chance saloon for TA
Te Awamutu has one last chance to avoid a winless WaiBop premier football season. After losing 7-2 to Taupo last weekend the Gisler Architects sponsored side slipped to the bottom of the table – because the only other side still looking for a win, West Hamilton, won at Matamata. Te Awamutu plays away to Waiariki on Saturday. Last weekend’s match was not the first where Te Awamutu suffered from losing a player. Steffan Foulkes collected his second yellow just 20 minutes in. By then Taupo had gone one up and Te Awamutu had responded when Haydn Roil tapped in, superbly set up by an Aaron Marr header. The 10 men then created a series of chances, only to be denied by some superb goalkeeping, notably one from a 35-metre shot from skipper Aaron Mills. With two minutes to half-time, Taupo took the lead, with a shot that beat Kevin Buckle just couldn’t stop, and a deflection off Aaron Mills made it 3-1 before the break. Joel Roil missed an opportunity to claw one back early in the second half – but Te Awamutu did score from a Mills free kick. That was as good as it got as Taupo took advantage of the home team tiring to score
four more. In other games at the Edmonds Judd Men’s Reserves team were beaten 1-0 by Northern United and the Men’s D Division team lost 4-1 to Cambridge Both Te Awamutu women’s teams suffered losses on Sunday. The Pink Ladies lost 6-0 to Cambridge and the Edmonds Judd women’s team went down 4-1 to Thames.

Te Rahu rural womenT celebrate 66 years

THURSDAY AUGUST 20, 2020
Members of the Te Rahu branch of Rural Women NZ at this month’s anniversary lunch. They are, from left, Patricia Bayley, Denise Powell, Raewyn Marwood, Jacqui Rice and Sue Graham (president).
By Viv Posselt
Members of the Te Rahu branch of Rural Women New Zealand marked their 66th anniversary this month with a nod to the past and an eye on the future. The women gathered at Te Awamutu College’s on-site canteen, where some of the school’s hospitality students catered and served lunch. It was the students’ first hands-on event since coming out of the initial Covid-19 lockdown period. Rural Women NZ has grown from its foundation in 1925 as the Women’s Division of Federated Farmers to a nationwide organisation that continues to support women and their rural communities, at branch, provincial and national level. Its charitable arm conducts fundraising in support of local communities, and the organisation is recognised as providing an authoritative voice on health services, education, environmental and social issues in the rural sector; members regularly canvas public opinion on issues being appraised at government level. The Te Rahu branch launched on August 24, 1954, when a group met to form a branch of the Women’s Division of Federated Farmers; three Waipa provincial committee members, and 23 other women were present. Today the Te Rahu branch has 19 members. Its president Sue Graham said Rural New Zealand membership was not limited to women in the rural sector – anyone was welcome to join. “When it started, it became a vital organisation to represent and support rural women and their communities,” she said. “There have been many changes over the years; we now

PHONE: 027 561 1862 A/H: 870 2365
have a voice on the political stage in relation to rural and rural community issues.” In her 2019/20 annual report, Sue acknowledged the role played by two former Te Rahu branch vice presidents who died earlier this year, Merle Wylie and Bev Kay. She also acknowledged another former member, Rosalie Bosnyak, who ran the Rural Women’s choir in earlier years and who died in Cambridge during lockdown. Despite being unable to hold monthly meetings during lockdown, the group was able to donate $500 to Te Awamutu Commsafe, and $200 to the Australian Bush Fire fund. Members have also donated knitted goods to the Te Awamutu Birthing Unit, the Newborn Intensive Care Unit at Waikato Hospital, given pyjamas to Kids in Need Waikato, and filled 14 Christmas shoe boxes late last year. With an eye to the future, Sue said the branch would now focus on recruiting more, and younger, members to the branch. “We need to continue and add to the great work that rural women do on a daily basis. This year, I would like us to focus more keenly on those areas of national significance in our rural communities, in particular, clear waterways and climate change.” She said a New Zealand Climate and Health Council report concluded that the life of every child born today would be “profoundly affected by climate change”. Without accelerated intervention, the report said this new era would come to define the health of people “at every stage of their lives”.

The case to wrap our homes in wool When winter bites we reach for our woollen hats, gloves, jerseys and coats, recognising they’re the ultimate for warmth, even when they get a bit wet. So it has always puzzled Miles Anderson why it’s only a minority who choose to wrap their houses in wool. Miles, who recently stepped down as Federated Farmers Meat & Wool Chairperson, sees wool insulation – and carpet for that matter – as an investment in quality that will last the distance. For a world steadily turning its back on synthetic and oil industry-based materials, wool insulation is also a green/natural choice, and one that will help the part of our agricultural sector that’s doing it the hardest at the moment.
Miles says he’s chosen wool carpet and insulation for the new 240sqm home he’s building south of Timaru not just out of loyalty to the sheep farming industry that four generations of his family have been involved in, but because wool “ticks all the boxes. “Wool has evolved to keep sheep comfortable in sometimes extreme conditions. “It’s biodegradable, renewable and sustainable.” As wool grows, it absorbs carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. When it is finally at the end of its useful life, it readily decomposes in soil whereas synthetics are extremely slow to degrade,” Miles says. It’s a very effective insulator and acoustic buffer, it is

resistant to compression and shrinkage, it exceeds other forms of insulation in absorbing sound and it’s fire retardant. As a result of wool’s high water and nitrogen content, it won’t burn unless temperatures exceed 560 degrees Celsius. If wool comes in direct contact with another burning surface, it won’t melt or stick, and is self-extinguishing once the initial ignition source is removed. Wool forms an insulating char when it burns and emits less smoke and toxic gases during combustion than most synthetic fibres. Terra Lana, the Christchurch company that blends wool left over from carpet and textile manufacturing with non-toxic polyester to
make insulation ‘blankets’, points out that the crimped structure of wool is extremely effective at blocking the transfer of heat by trapping air within and between its fibres. Ask a homeowner why they installed fibreglass or synthetic insulation, and chances are they’ll say because it was cheaper. Brian Murray, of Hutt Valley-based insulation manufacturer and installer Natural Wool Products, says all the superior qualities of wool justifies the price premium – “and at any rate, that premium is a bit of a myth. “We focus on blown wool insulation, which matches or exceeds recommended R-values (a measurement of insulation effectiveness) and is excellent for getting into confined spaces under the roof. “We can normally install it at much the same price as synthetic products,” Brian says. Blanket style insulation made from wool costs more “but it pays for consumers to think about the long game”. “They really should take into account the wool product’s long-livedness, and the fact it doesn’t sink or slump like some of the alternatives,”
Brian says. Wool is certainly a product Kainga Ora/Housing NZ believes in. “We’ve done the insulation in a heck of a lot of Housing NZ homes, and especially those houses which have delicate ceilings or inaccessible underroof space. We’ve done hundreds of them very, very successfully,” Brian says. In Southland, James Carter of BJ Carter Builders and Insulators - who make and install a 100per cent natural wool ceiling insulation product, Envirowool – wishes politicians would employ more action, less words over backing the use
of NZ wool. “Politicians like Winston Peters call for woollen carpets and insulation yet the government agency, the EECA, is highly particular about who gets accepted under the insulation subsidy scheme. Like Miles Anderson, James says he’s wary of any product that necessitates installers to wear personal protection equipment just to put it in place. “In the European Union they’re really cracking down on it. They’ve gone big on specifying cleaner, greener materials. So why are we still using these toxic products in our homes?”

The stable foreman for trainer Graeme Rogerson secured a winning treble for his employer, while also reining home a treble himself. “It was a great day, they all raced really well and we managed to bag a few winners,” Ferguson said. Rogerson’s treble was highlighted by She Reigns’ impressive 5-3/4 length victory in the Marcoola Standing At Nevele R Stud Handicap Trot (2700m). The daughter of Monarchy began like a bullet from her 30m back mark to settle midfield for Ferguson. He asked her to improve three-wide with 350m to go and she made light work of her rivals in the straight to win untouched. “She was the class horse of the field,” Ferguson said. “She is a little bit funny with her manners sometimes, but when she is on the ball like, that she is a lovely mare and has plenty of speed. “She is in a hard grade at Auckland. Last start they ran a New Zealand record. She is always running good times, but she is just in a really hard grade up there. “She certainly benefited from the big drop in company and it was a good confidence booster for her. “That was a penalty free win today which is what we have been aiming for a while
now.” A return trip to Cambridge Raceway may be in the offing for She Reigns with Alexandra Park currently under COVID-19 alert level 3 restrictions. “Our plans are little bit up in the air in the short-term with whether we can race at Auckland,” Ferguson said. The race prior Ferguson was also in the winner’s circle with High Point who won the Woodlands Stud Mobile Pace (2200m) by three-quarters of a length over Eagle Watch. “She went great,” Ferguson said. “She had been working up well at home and had that fitness run a couple of weeks ago at Auckland, so I was confident that she would go well. “I thought she would win in the first set of fields because she had drawn one. “I was a bit devastated that she drew one the second row, but it’s not very often you get a run like that from four back the fence.” Earlier on the card it was Ferguson’s father Peter’s turn to carry Rogerson’s silks to victory behind Romanee in the Lonestar Alexandra Park – Now Open Mobile Pace (2200m). “It was good for Dad to get a winner for us,” Ferguson said. “He has been trying on a few of them. He is a big asset to our stable, he is always there if we need a hand. It was a good team effort.” While he was beaten into fourth in that
race with Sunset Red, Ferguson wasn’t to be outdone and recorded a treble himself when reining home El Questro to win the Join The Breeders Mobile Pace (2200m) for trainer Rod MacKenzie. “He had been working up really well, Rod
fast works him at Graeme’s,” he said. “It was good for Rod to get a win with him because he has caused him plenty of headaches, so it was good to chalk one up on the board early with him.” – Joshua Smith, Harness News Desk
Dylan Ferguson had plenty to smile about.
